girl strategy

Chapter 166 On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, come to your door!

That day, after frightening Mi Lu together with Dan Qing, she really improved her memory. Although she was a little reckless occasionally, Luo Chuchen could tell that she was really trying her best to correct it.

Afraid of saying the wrong thing, even because she has not been trained as a "professional" maid these years, and her nature is not prudent, she doesn't know what to say and what not to say.Mi Lu simply reduced the number of times she spoke in front of others, and only with Luo Chuchen and Dan Qing would she be unscrupulous.

If you don't know what to say, don't say it at all.Milu, who couldn't quickly grasp the 'essentials' in a short period of time, directly found such a stupid method, and happily followed it.

It's just that, after so many years of escape, it was really uncomfortable for her to hold back her temper and 'shut up' for a while, and she couldn't do anything about it.

In front of Luo Chuchen and Dan Qing, there were more words.

"It's hard to die, it's hard to die!! What is this!!! Why are the two Zhuangzi next to each other, but the numbers on the account book are so different!! Can't find any mistakes!! Could it be a natural or man-made disaster? !! Two people next to each other, how can there be such a difference in natural disasters and man-made disasters!!" Milu held the account book sent by Xiaowai Zhuangzi from Rongwang's mansion, scratching her hair and mourning.

Her face was haggard, her eyes were blue, and she was holding the account book in both hands, staring at the writing on it, with a look of bitterness and hatred on her face.

Yes, in order to kill Milu's 'loneliness', Luo Chuchen simply grabbed her young man.Anyway, as the No. [-] palace of the clan, Prince Rong's Mansion was not liked, but it had to be said that in terms of material things, Emperor Yongping did not owe him at all.Not to mention, when the first emperor was alive, all kinds of rare objects given to his beloved young son were owned by Huangzhuang real estate.

Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare curios, jade pieces... these things, the palace has four inner warehouses fully vacant, and seven outer warehouses can be used to store them together.Luo Chuchen had newly obtained the right to be a housekeeper, so she took care of the internal and external affairs, and several big treasuries were naturally under her jurisdiction.

She has seen all the old people left behind by Princess Bai.Four accountants who work in the study outside, a few stewards of Huangzhuang who are close to each other, and three or five old mothers who work in the inner palace... I have to say that they are very fond of Luo Chuchen, the eldest concubine. Respectful, with a very good and gentle attitude, even though Luo Chuchen doesn't know much about the steward's family, he only knows what it is, and sometimes asks funny questions, but they still explain them one by one very kindly , without the slightest hint of impatience, or trying to make her stand up.

Regarding this, Luo Chuchen also had some guesses, maybe... after the mistress Xu Jifei resisted people and ate her inside and out, their expectations of being a family member were already very low.

After all, not everyone can be like Concubine Xu Ji, who took power in Prince Rong's mansion for only two months, and spent a full 5 taels of silver in the mansion to directly supplement her mother's family.

In particular, what makes people desperate is that she still pulled out so "fairly and aboveboard" that after being caught without any effort, she can still say in a natural tone, "I was raised by my parents. Well married, so why should I be surprised to help my mother's family. My parents are also the parents of the prince, shouldn't the younger generation be filial to the elders? It's just a little money, and a family like the Rongwang's mansion can't bear it?"

That's what he said -- what a shame.

All the remaining servants left behind by Princess Bai who heard it cried so badly that they didn't know what tone to use! !In other words, my lord, the only parents of the prince are the late emperor and the empress dowager, and the rest, even father-in-law and mother-in-law, have to kneel down when seeing him.You are so reckless and looking for a new father and bride for the prince... Can the late Emperor and Empress Dowager Pei answer?

You are really not afraid of your parents losing their lives, are you?
Moreover, there is nothing wrong with a married woman who wants to help her mother's family when she is rich!But, having said that, isn't it that good things fail to happen, shouldn't they all be done secretly?Is it an honor to let a married daughter 'pay' money to her natal family?Could it be that the world has changed, they are old and can't keep up with the times?
What's more, it's 5 taels of silver. Even for a 'family' like Rong Wang's Mansion, it's not a small amount. Xu Jifei's dowry when she entered the door, including the silver at the bottom of the box, was only 5000 taels Well, this is the 1 taels of large furniture helped by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is barely enough to make up the amount.As it turns out, this one is so good, not long after entering the door, the 5 taels are all 'a little silver'.

That's a year's worth of expenses for Prince Rong's mansion, and it was emptied in two months! !The old servants left behind by Princess Bai really couldn't find a tune when they were crying, and it was precisely because of that time that Concubine Xu Ji had never touched the real power in the mansion. Those old servants would rather die from exhaustion than bear the burden of bad Fame, and he was unwilling to let Concubine Xu empty out Prince Rong's mansion.

Just kidding, that's the 'house' carefully run by their master, Princess Bai, how can an outsider move away casually! !

So, despite all these years, they are getting older and gradually unable to do what they want, but Concubine Xu is young and strong, so they can't help but secretly worry about the future... After all, their master's child has grown up and married a wife, so... Why doesn't the mistress of the house make them happy.

Even if Luo Chuchen was not good at managing the housekeeper, and sometimes made some low-level mistakes, they were not dissatisfied at all.All happily and slowly teaching.

Can't manage?It doesn't matter, it can't be learned, Shi Zifei is so young and so smart, what can't be learned!What?I just can't learn... um, it's okay, learn slowly, teach it a few more times and you'll learn it, young man, don't demand too much of yourself... what?Miscalculation, uh, it’s okay, as a newbie, it’s inevitable to make mistakes, as long as you are willing to study hard...

That attitude, really don't be too amiable, kind... Luo Chuchen was a little flustered!
For this reason, she also specially asked Shen Cangyu to ask.

"What's the situation? Those people left behind by the concubine...why do I feel something is wrong!!" Looking at Shen Cangyu, her eyes were a little strange.

In fact, Luo Chuchen had explained to Shen Cangyu on the night when he took over the housekeeping power, and he was even somewhat worried, for fear that he might not manage well. The enemies here are also like the housekeeper or something... She has never come into contact with it! !The largest number of people in the two lifetimes are the ten or so maids in the Shuixie Pavilion, and they still don't return her monthly money.Suddenly asking her to manage two or three hundred servants at once, and a dozen assistants outside the capital, seven or eight Huangzhuang... and even a summer garden, this is really beyond her ability .

Although there is someone to help, she is still in charge after all. If she can't handle it well and something goes wrong... It's a trivial matter for her to embarrass herself. If Shen Cangyu is involved, what should she do?

"It's okay. Since the father entrusted it to you, he believes in your ability. Even if you are not familiar with it for a while, just learn it slowly. You don't have to worry about the people left by the mother and concubine. They are looking forward to it. Hello!" Facing Luo Chuchen's worries, Shen Cangyu said so, and finally even patted his chest to promise, "If you can't learn it, don't you still have me?" Chu Chen felt relieved a lot.

But...it's too early to let it go. The people left behind by Princess Bai are indeed very kind to her, but..."They are too kind, I..." I have never met such a kind person when I grew up. Hey, "No matter what I did wrong, even if I taught it the day before, I will forget it the next day, and they don't mean to be impatient at all. This attitude is really good and makes me..." My heart is shaking ! !
what's the situation?Luo Chuchen didn't think that there would be a "slave bullying the master" incident in the place of Prince Rong's mansion.But those old servants have been in charge of the entire palace for more than ten years, and they are about to hand over power... Don't say they don't want to, they must feel a little uncomfortable, can't they just wait?
——That kind of gratifying attitude makes her feel that there is a pit ahead, okay?

"This...hehe, Chen'er, you don't need to be like this. They are the old people left behind by the mother concubine, and they are the most reliable." Shen Cangyu laughed, "In fact, apart from the inner house, the mother concubine also gave them to others outside the house. I left a lot of people behind, and they all taught me their rights when I was an adult at 16."

"At that time, the attitude of those uncles and uncles was worse than what you are facing now. I was also a little puzzled at the time, but I realized after thinking about it... I am afraid that they feel that they are getting older and older. Big, can't help me for a few years, and seeing me grow up again makes me so happy."

"As for the situation you're facing..." He pondered for a moment, covered his mouth with a smirk and said, "Except for that swindler Xu's being in front of you, no matter how aunts and aunts look at you. Maybe there is me the reason."

"I'm in my early twenties, and those in the clan get married early. I'm afraid that the children will be able to make soy sauce, but I delay until this time. In the early years, they began to think about my marriage, but Unexpectedly, Emperor Yongping didn't refer to marriage. After all this draft, I, a senior in my twenties, got the marriage gift from the imperial court. You are so beautiful, and we still show affection...they, I can't wait for you Hurry up and take over the government affairs and become the real housewife, live a good life with me!"

Shen Cangyu explained in this way.Luo Chuchen also realized that Rongwang's mansion is no more than her natal Anlinghou's mansion. The personnel affairs are extremely simple. There are only four masters including her. Except for Concubine Xu, they all want to live a good life. How can such a complicated situation come about.

The subordinates have crooked minds, and the slaves bully the master. The root cause is nothing more than the masters scrambling for power and calculating each other.King Rong's situation is so simple, apart from the people arranged outside, how can there be so many conspiracies in his nest?
What's more, if those people really have bad intentions, why would King Rong use them for more than ten years?Naturally, it was solid and reliable. After Luo Chuchen got the explanation, he figured it out in his heart, and naturally returned the same attitude to those enthusiastic and kind old servants.

Modest and friendly, without losing the majesty of the master... She is so proficient at pretending to be X, to the extent that it surprised the old servants who were secretly worried that her status was slightly lower and that she would lose the dignity of the Rong Palace. endlessly.

Letting go of his mind, Luo Chuchen naturally learned from others to manage affairs honestly, whether it is internal affairs, external affairs, servants, Huangzhuang, assistants, gardens... Although she doesn't need to take care of everything, she still needs to be careful. She came to coordinate, so she was naturally very busy.The servants in Qingcang Courtyard, although Shen Cangyu can be dispatched by her, Luo Chuchen has indeed used them a lot, but... After all, they haven't been together for a long time, and they are not familiar with each other, so she doesn't use them very smoothly. I always feel a little awkward.

In the end, it still depends on Danqing and Milu, these two are caring and caring, she doesn't need to speak, just raise her eyebrows to understand whether she wants to drink water or a girl who wants to eat, let her get used to it.

Thinking that these two were for her to be used as a nanny in charge in the future, the old servants who taught her naturally did not hesitate to teach two more... But Danqing is lucky to say that she has a tenacious temper and drive, no matter how hard it is, she can overcome it. Make up your mind, one time is not two times, two times is not three times... There is always time to learn.As for Milu, just...

This girl is still stubborn, and she had already had a hard time during the "Silence is Golden" period, but she had to learn these things, which in her eyes could be called a "book from heaven".The taste of each... It really can't be expressed in words.

However, what surprised Luo Chuchen was that no matter how difficult it was, Milu persisted. Even though she would occasionally cry out, she didn't let go...

Originally, asking her to learn this was just to sharpen her temper. Luo Chuchen never expected her to be of help, but he didn't expect it at all. In the end, this girl was really in the hands of the old mother. 'Practice' came out.

Even Shen Cangyu, who has been very busy in court lately, going out early and coming back late every day, so tired that she doesn't think about 'that', has discovered the difference in Milu.One morning, he even asked her suspiciously, "What's wrong with that big-eyed maid of yours recently? Is her throat uncomfortable? I remember that I can hear her talking every day?"

Luo Chuchen didn't answer these questions, but just smiled, feeling quite relieved in his heart.

In this way, time passed like flowing water, and autumn turned to winter in a blink of an eye, and Luo Chuchen had entered the Rong Palace for nearly half a year.

From the trepidation when she first took over the government affairs, her eyes were darkened, to the ease and joy she is now... I have to admit that she, and the people around her, have put in a lot of effort.

Even, when she first started managing, not only did she not know much about things, but she also had to deal with Xu Jifei's various methods... Of course, her methods are very immature, and it is easy to see, after all, this person wants to talk about real power... Not at all.But Luo Chuchen is just a novice, even if Xu Jifei is worse, she is still more experienced than her.

And the old servants left behind by Princess Bai may regard Concubine Xu as a whetstone, unless it will affect the Rong Palace, otherwise, no matter what Concubine Xu does, they will basically not intervene.

Therefore, Xu Jifei's relentless search for trouble really made Luo Chuchen suffer a lot.

However, because of this, she was honed very quickly.

"Young Mistress, this old slave has nothing to teach you!" Finally, on such a day, among the nuns, Ning Nai, the oldest nurse of Princess Bai, who was over seventy years old, said to her.

To this, Luo Chuchen's first reaction...heaven, he was relieved! ! !

From that day on, quietly and very naturally, Luo Chuchen took over the internal and external affairs of Prince Rong's mansion and became the undisputed mistress of the house.It took several days for Xu Jifei to react, but it was useless after all, even if she was aggrieved, she couldn't stop Luo Chuchen's footsteps.

And slowly, winter snow fell, and the end of the new year was approaching. With the frequent festival banquets and various appearances between Prince Rong's Mansion and relatives and friends, Luo Chuchen, the new head, mother and concubine of Prince Rong's Mansion, became familiar to everyone.

Regardless of whether the friendship with Prince Rong's mansion is good or not, everyone who is in the aristocratic circle in Beijing already knows that Princess Rong lost to the new concubine's daughter-in-law and was completely defeated in the struggle between the two parties.

It was the first time to preside over the government affairs, and it was just in time for the important New Year's ceremony. Even if there was someone to help, Luo Chuchen would inevitably be nervous.He even neglected Shen Cangyu inadvertently, which made him a little dissatisfied!
"Chen'er, didn't you beg me to help you read the account book a few days ago? Why, now that you are proficient, you throw me over the wall? It's too much to not bring such a thing!" Once again, I couldn't sleep alone. , seeing Shen Cangyu, who was struggling with his daughter-in-law, clasped his hands together and let out an unbearable... acting like a spoiled child! !

"Huh?" Luo Chuchen looked up, his face full of bewilderment.It was another busy day, she was dizzy from looking at the bill, and her mind was not very clear. She didn't hear what Shen Cangyu said just now! !

"Stop it! A night in spring is worth a thousand dollars. In this cold day, sitting alone in front of a lamp is such a bleak scene..." Shen Cangyu stood up, chattering nonsense, and pulled Luo Chu by hand Chen took her into his arms, and said distressedly: "Look, look, Chen'er, your hands are so cold, hurry up, I'll cover you..."

As he spoke, he dragged him onto the bed, and after that... it was a night of endless happiness.

……

'Career' and 'love' are both proud, this year Luo Chuchen is really refreshed, there is nothing that goes wrong, the government affairs are gradually going smoothly, and his reputation has also opened up.Moreover, Concubine Xu Jifei, who had been looking for trouble, was also found wrong by her, she punished her twice, and obediently obeyed indignantly. Even Shen Cangyu stayed with her all the time because of the New Year Muxiu...

Luo Chuchen's life as a bride is really more comfortable than that of the married princess.

——Of course, there is a prerequisite for this comfort, that is...

If on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, her second elder sister Luo Chuning hadn't knocked on the gate of Prince Rong's mansion with a pale face, wounds all over her body, thin clothes, snot and tears...

"Second sister, what's wrong with you?" Have you been robbed?Luo Chuchen looked up and down at Luo Chuning who was still wearing a thin autumn jacket, shivering, his face was blue from the cold, he was so surprised that he didn't know what to do.

It's really not her fault, Luo Chuning's appearance is really too miserable.

At the beginning, she had been in the hands of Xu Rongcheng's broken sleeve for more than half a year, and she had never been in such a mess when she was finally in Anlinghou's mansion! !

——It's almost unrecognizable! !

"Fourth Sister, Fourth Sister..." As if seeing hope, Luo Chuning's mouth trembled, and she fitted herself in front of Luo Chuchen, knelt down on the ground with a 'plop', her hands tightly clutching the hem of her clothes , crying loudly: "You save me, please save me, they want to kill me, they, they want to kill me!!"
