famous concubine

Chapter 546
The fourth aunt looked up at Dongfangyu, with a slightly disturbed expression, and said slowly: "I, I think I am relatively calm in dealing with personnel affairs and dealing with people and things."

Dongfang Yu was slightly taken aback, Fourth Aunt's attitude was a little strange, she didn't quite understand what Fourth Aunt was worried about; she actually described her strengths in just one sentence.

"Okay, now let me summarize."

Dongfangyu looked up at the old lady, his eyes were dark, and he said slowly: "The eldest aunt said that she is fair; the third aunt is good at managing money; the fourth aunt is good at handling interpersonal relationships."

"Now do as we said before; let's use a secret ballot to select the future head of our house; that is, whoever you want to be the head of the house, write down that person's name secretly on the paper; and you You don’t need to leave your name, and then we will collect everyone’s votes, and immediately count the votes publicly here, and the person with the most votes will be the future head of our Dongfang Mansion.”

"Do any of you have any objections to this method?"

Dongfang Yu's gaze with invisible deterrent power slowly swept over everyone; even the old lady sitting at the top couldn't help feeling a little nervous after meeting her snow-like gaze.

Everyone looked at each other a few times; they all shook their heads unanimously, expressing no objection.

"Okay, so now we have a total of six people here; that is, a total of six votes, except for the old lady, me and the fourth sister who will not participate in the votes for the head of the family, that is to say, the three aunts may all get the same votes. votes; in order to avoid this situation, I have one more proposal below."

"In order to elect the future head of our mansion at one time, one more vote must be added, so how should this person with the decisive vote be selected?" Dongfang Yu smiled lazily, and she was also laughing at herself in her heart, unexpectedly In ancient times, the modern democratic elections were set up. However, this democratic election is indeed a pretty good way of decision-making, and it is worth bringing it to ancient times to promote it.

"I suggest that each courtyard select an honest and stable person; then write down their names, and draw lots to decide who will be the person who has the right to vote." The girl paused for a moment, bright A sly light flashed quickly in her eyes, and she looked at the old lady with a gloomy and displeased face calmly, and said slowly: "As for who will draw lots?"

"I think it is most appropriate for the old lady to be the person who draws lots. Firstly, she is our elder; secondly, she is the most respected among us; we should believe that she is also a fair person; what do you think of my proposal? "

The three aunts looked at each other silently, and nodded in agreement.

Although the old lady was unhappy in her heart, she was praised by Dongfang Yu with such a respectful tone and modest attitude, which was unmatched by anyone in this family; she was naturally undeniably a little proud.

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, she naturally had to put on airs and decline to show her pride and importance.

"Although everyone's suggestions are good; however, I don't think I am as good as the second lady described; I am worried that if the candidate drawn by the lottery does not meet everyone's wishes, then it will be embarrassing."

"Old lady, you are the most senior in our house; everyone believes that with your high morals and esteem, you will be able to set an example for us. As long as you are selected by the lottery, we must not have any objections, right?" It was the fourth aunt who was smiling all over her face.

The moment she stood up, it was undoubtedly equivalent to indicating the direction of her own line; as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately provoked a look of astonishment and suspicion from the third aunt who was dissatisfied.

Dongfangyu glanced lazily at the old lady, she didn't really want the old lady to get involved in the lottery.

"Old lady, if you feel that the candidate you have drawn may dissatisfy everyone, I think you must be quite tired after sitting for so long; why don't you go back and rest for a while; when we discuss and come up with a result, Please come out again?"

The old lady was stunned, and when she came to her senses, the originally suppressed dissatisfaction in her heart rushed to the top of her head mixed with anger.

This girl, dare to turn a corner to persuade her to leave?
She's gone; her vote is useless; then of course they don't have to draw any more lots; what's the point!

Well, let her draw lots, shall I?

She just smokes; hum, she must pick someone that this girl doesn't like.

The old lady was burning with anger, her eyes were gloomy and terrifying, slightly lowered and hidden by eyelashes, she stared angrily at the smiling girl for a moment.

"Since it is the fairest for everyone, I will draw lots; then I will do what I can to help everyone."

Slow tone, pretending to be indifferent.

Hearing the Oriental language in his ears, he immediately sneered coldly in his heart.

The old lady thought she really couldn't do anything?

Next, each courtyard will elect an honest and prudent person, write that person's name, and then put them all into a black box, and let the old lady reach in under everyone's eyes. As long as the old lady takes out one of them, it will be considered complete. The process of selecting candidates by drawing lots.

At this time, the most nervous ones were Third Aunt and the old lady herself.Everyone else waited leisurely for the old lady to draw out one of the papers.

"Mother Wei." The old lady lowered her eyes, with a hint of resentment and resentment in her brows.

This mother Wei is from Yuanchen Pavilion, the yard of Auntie Shen Liuyi.

"Okay, since the good ones have been picked, let's vote for each other next." The girl smiled and blinked her eyes, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, and a hint of joy in her light voice.

The old lady never imagined that she would tamper with the paper, no matter how the old lady drew, the name chosen in the final draw would definitely be Mother Wei from Yuanchen Pavilion.

When the old lady saw her happy expression, she felt so aggrieved that she wanted to vomit.

The results of the voting came out soon; in the end, the aunt won the position of head of the Dongfang Mansion with an absolute advantage of four votes.

Fourth Aunt seems to be extremely happy with this result; but looking at Third Aunt and the old lady, after knowing that the last person in charge is Auntie, their faces are as black as ink.

With a new head, it is natural to hand over the various previous account books; check the property in the treasury, and fully understand the expenditure and income of the mansion.

Although Mrs. Ji is crazy, but the housekeepers are normal; Mama Rong, who has always been regarded as a confidant by the wife and helps manage various chores, is also normal.

The auntie took over as the head of the house, and the various inventory checks carried out were basically smooth.

There is not much discrepancy between the treasury account book and the physical inventory; there is only one place, the account is vaguely remembered, and the discrepancy between the real item and this unclear account is quite large; the aunt finally had a headache to go to Lvyiyuan to find the Oriental language .
