The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 217 Taking Over General Affairs (2)

Mi Congcong glanced at Mrs. Yang inquisitively. How did this deep Aunt Yang come out on top today?
Lou Chenxiao was disapproving: "Although Lou Guangyuan is just a bastard, it is his job to maintain the reputation of the Lou Mansion. You don't have to come to me to ask for credit!"

Lou Chenxiao left these words behind, raised his chin, put his arms around his wife and entered the door, leaving everyone with different expressions behind.

Seeing Yang's face turning green and red, Master Lou's other concubine, Fang, almost burst out laughing.

These days, Mrs. Yang is arrogant because her son also passed the government examination, which made her dare not face her face to face. Who made her give birth to a good son?
Now she deliberately mentioned the banquet a few days ago, just to remind the master that the young master lost his face that day. Very happy!

If Fang said it was just a trial banquet held by a small mansion, no one who passed the exam was a scholar with such fanfare, and she dared not tell the old man about the explicit praise and implicit criticism in the words of the female relatives on the day of the banquet.

Fang also knew what Mr. Lou liked to hear, so she walked up to him and said softly, "Master, the young master seems to be quite sensible."

Mr. Lou stroked his beard in satisfaction: "Yes, we all know how to maintain the reputation of the Lou Mansion, and we have made progress!" "

Yang's face was so angry that her facial features almost twisted. It was her son who defended his reputation that day. How did it become the credit of that prodigal son?

No matter how calm Yang is usually, but it is about her son, she almost can't help it.

"That's why the master has a good vision. The young master has changed so much in such a short period of time. It must be because of the grandmother's persuasion. In the end, the master is the best." There is something in Fang's words, and he wants to sell Mi Congcong.

"Haha, Mrs. Mi is sensible and can hold that kid down, so I can rest assured in the future." Mr. Lou was very pleased.

Yang's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she calmed down instantly.

What does the old man mean by this?
Based on her understanding of the old man, she was sure that the old man was not just simply emotional.

Yang Shi and his son exchanged a look, and they were wary in each other's eyes.

Yang's mother and son, no, it should be said that everyone was caught off guard, as soon as everyone entered the living room, Mr. Lou announced that Mi Congcong would take over the general affairs of the mansion, and that Yang and Fang should hand over their power.

"My lord, I can count the number of days my grandma spent in the mansion after she got married. Now that the young master is studying in the county, the grandma will also take care of the young master in the county, right? What's the matter, who should I ask to deal with it?" Fang couldn't hold back, and spoke first.

In the past few years, she and Yang have each controlled half of the household affairs in the mansion. She doesn't know what Yang wants to do. Anyway, she has made a lot of money in the past few years. After the family is separated, she can also help her son. After all, the son is a bastard. The family property that can be distributed is limited.

She was still thinking that Mrs. Mi was unwilling to take over the general affairs of the mansion, so she could make more plans for her son. In a few years, her son would get married and separate, buy a big house, and with the savings on hand, she would be able to live a stable life It's just that she didn't expect that the master would suddenly announce so forcefully that Mi's family would be in charge, which made her unprepared.

Yang's mother and son were even more shocked, the old man not only wanted to hand over general affairs to Mi, but also handed over business matters to Lou Chenxiao.

The purpose of Yang's mother and son is the entire Lou Mansion. Mr. Lou's words can be said to have shattered all the ambitions of Yang's mother and son. No matter how scheming Yang is, he will not be able to sit still.

It was Yang's son Lou Yuanyuan who spoke first: "Father, the business of the Lou family has been your painstaking effort for most of your life. Big brother has never been involved in business matters, so you really feel relieved to leave it to big brother?"

Lou Guangyuan has been in contact with Lou's business in the past few years. In order to impress those old shopkeepers, he always asks for advice. He never puts on airs to the old people in the shop, and wins their favor. The old man also praised him for this. Several times, he thought that no matter how well he behaved, the old man would gradually delegate power to him in the next few years, but who knew that the old man would lose his head and hand over the business to that prodigal son.

Yes, this prodigal son is the eldest son of the Lou family, and it is justified for him to take over the business, but what else does the prodigal son know besides eating, drinking and having fun?Doesn't handing over the Lou family's business to him mean handing over the entire Lou family to him?When the time comes, the whole family will drink northwest wind?
Fang's mother and son also have this concern, but compared to the old man handing over the Lou family's business to Lou Yuanyuan, they would rather Lou Chenxiao take over. can also benefit from it.

Mr. Lou ignored everyone's different thoughts, and solemnly said: "I have worked hard for most of my life for this family. Now that Xiao'er has married a family, it is time to take on my own responsibility and provoke this family!"

Mrs. Yang knew that it was difficult to change the old man's decision, and after she calmed down, she put on that virtuous and decent smile again: "Since the master doesn't want me and Sister Fang to work hard, we are too late to be happy, and I will take care of the matter in hand later." Give it to grandma."

Mi Shi wants to take over the general affairs of the mansion, so let's see if she has the ability? !

In this mansion, except for the outer court, they can't get in. More than half of them are her and Fang's people. Even if she and Fang don't speak up, those people can cause enough trouble for Mie. Don't cry when the time comes. I begged her and Fang to take back the housekeeping rights!

Mi Congcong didn't seem to notice Yang's meaningful gaze, and calmly picked up the tea in hand and drank it.

Of course she knew what Yang Shi was gloating about, Yang Shi would never have imagined that Lou Chenxiao had already placed people in important positions in the mansion, even if the mansion was all over the place now, it would only make her flustered for a while. The daily life in Lou Mansion will not be affected in the slightest.

Seeing that Yang Shi had said that, Mrs. Fang could only duplicity: "What my sister said is that I will go to Grandma's side to hand over the matter at hand when I am a concubine, and I will concentrate on serving the master from now on."

"Okay, okay, you are all good, and you will be rewarded later." Mr. Lou was happy for the harmony in the family.

The corner of Mi Congcong's mouth twitched, she finally knew where Lou Chenxiao's characteristic of being rich and powerful came from, it was simply heredity!

When Mi Congcong and Lou Chenxiao returned home, the happiest people were Xiuzhu and Xiuchun.

After Mi Congcong and Lou Chenxiao washed their faces, Xiuchun brought some snacks: "Grandma, this is the tofu soup made by the new cook. You can try it. By the way, it's still the five-spice pork that the young master likes. It will be ready soon."

The cook in the big kitchen is a distant relative of Yang's. He was dismissed by the master when something went wrong at the banquet a few days ago. Even Yang didn't dare to intercede. The cook is much better.
