The crazy daily life of the mistress

Even though the old women and maids were blocking the door, Da Qing could easily make a way for Lu Yi.

Lu Yi finally managed to enter the yard under Daqing's cover.

The maids and old women also followed in, as if they were waiting for Lu Yi to save the world.

Even if the sky was about to fall, Lu Yi was in no mood to care.

She was already annoyed enough today, and now she had to be bothered by these servants!

Lu Yi's face was already showing impatience.

He turned and looked at Daqing for help.

Daqing was asked by Zhan Shixuan to take good care of and protect Lu Yi.

Now, we need

So he comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. Let them stand in place first, and talk to them one by one slowly if there is anything to say."

Then they moved a chair over for Lu Yi to sit on, and the well-behaved person came over to help light the stove and make tea.

Lu Yi said, "What do you have to say one by one? Why are you all rushing over here at once?"

The maids quickly stepped back, saluted together, and said, "Yes!"

Then a maid came out and said, "Madam, I am the maid in charge of the embroidery room. It is already September and winter cotton-padded clothes and outer garments need to be customized.

Originally, we should have bought cotton, silk thread, etc. in early September, but the Duke's wife was not feeling well these days, so we delayed it for a few days. Now, the lady will leave this matter to you.

So, I came to ask when the cotton and cloth will arrive, otherwise there are so many people in the mansion, I am afraid I will not be able to make it in time."

Of course, the masters of the mansion seldom ask the embroiderers in the mansion to make new clothes. However, the clothes for all seasons of the servants, as well as the concubines, maids and other masters of lower positions, are all made by the people in the embroidery room.

This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a big deal. However, if the things do not arrive, no matter how skillful they are, they will not be able to make winter clothes for everyone in the mansion!

Lu Yi said: "Then just ask someone to buy it. It's not a big deal."

The old woman replied, "So, I came to see the Crown Prince's wife. Please ask the Crown Prince's wife to arrange this matter."

She arranged it?

How would she arrange it?

Lu Yi thought carefully about how Yan treated the servants at home.

But no.

There was not a single scene in her mind about how Yan arranged and handled household affairs.

Usually, whenever she went to Yan's yard, Yan would ask the servants to leave and she would be the one in charge of everything.

So Lu Yi has never been exposed to such a thing.

Although Lu Yi didn't understand, she was not a stupid person.

She said, "Where is the person in charge of purchasing?"

The old woman replied, "The Duke's wife is in charge of purchasing, so they are not here."

Lu Yi said, "She is in charge of purchasing, but she gave me the responsibility of making clothes in the embroidery room?"

There's more to it than that.

Mrs. Du gave the kitchen to Lu Yi, but the purchasing for the kitchen was still in her hands.

Du gave up power intentionally.

She just wanted Lu Yi to be in charge but she didn't have the authority to manage things.

However, the current situation was not caused intentionally by Mrs. Du. She was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable. In addition, since Nanny Du died, no one reminded her of these things.

Meijuan didn't know either, after all, it was not her turn to know about these things in the past.

Da Qing whispered, "Madam, there is no need to rush to reply to this matter."

Lu Yi nodded and replied: "Okay, I know about this matter, you step back first, I will find a way."

The woman stepped back.

Then another maid came up and said, "Madam, I am the maid in charge of Huanxiangyuan. Today is the tenth day of the lunar month, and the monthly interest of Huanxiangyuan has not been paid yet. Madam, please be merciful and give me the monthly interest to take back."

Lu Yi asked: "What is Huanxiangyuan? Why do you want me to pay your monthly interest?"

The old woman replied, "Madam, the Huanxiang Courtyard is where the Duke's concubine lives. Now, except for the Duke's wife's courtyard, the monthly interest of the other courtyards in the backyard will be distributed by you."

Asking Lu Yi for money would be the end of Lu Yi's life.

She had no intention of putting her own money into this!

She said, "Where do I get the money? Do I still need to support this huge Duke's Mansion?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the maids below immediately knew that the Crown Prince's wife knew nothing about what was going on in the rear quarters.

When he looked up at Lu Yi again, there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Da Qing said, "Madam, I don't mean that I want you to support me. I mean, you need to go to the account office to withdraw the monthly interest. Everyone in the courtyard should come to you to get it."

Lu Yi felt relieved when she heard that she didn't need to spend her own money to support the baby.

Said: "Okay, I know what happened, you can leave first."

The next people came to ask for money.

Lu Yi did not go to the accounting office to get the money, and of course did not give them any money.

So she asked them all to step back and wait for her arrangements.

But as time dragged on for too long, they would not be able to report to their master if they returned empty-handed, so they all stood where they were, refusing to leave.

Da Qing said, "The Crown Prince's wife is too tired today, so we will deal with it tomorrow. You can leave first."

The maids and servants finally left.

The next morning, everyone came to Hanhuiyuan again.

Lu Yi was preoccupied last night and fell asleep after practicing martial arts. He didn't think about the old women at all.

Lu Yi said: "Things have different levels of urgency and importance, and I have to deal with them one by one."

The maid in the embroidery room said, "Madam, I have something urgent to do."

Lu Yi said, "Okay, let's go find the purchasing manager first. Who of you will ask her to come see me?"

Hanhuiyuan has never had any servants except Daqing.

Da Qing looked around and realized that his master had arranged shadow guards to protect Lu Yi. If no one else moved, he would be the only one left.

Da Qing gestured to the brothers who were waiting in the dark, and then said to Lu Yi, "Madam, I will go and call her."

In less than a quarter of an hour, the old woman in charge of purchasing was brought to Hanhuiyuan by Daqing.

The old woman was very dissatisfied. She had never run so fast at her age.

Now she was panting and said dissatisfiedly: "Prince, Prince, Madam, I still have to go to Madam's courtyard to answer her. There is no time to delay."

It was early in the morning, and it was the time for the housekeepers in each room to reply. Da Qing kidnapped the housekeeper on the way.

Lu Yi said, "It just so happens that the embroidery room is going to make winter clothes for the whole mansion, and they said you haven't bought the cloth, cotton, and silk thread yet. How are you doing your job? You are so derelict in your duty!"

The old woman said, "Excuse me, Madam, we have no right to make purchases on our own. We will obey your orders."

Lu Yi knew about it and said, "You mean you want me to go find the madam?"

The old woman said nothing, but her meaning was very clear.

She wouldn't listen to Lu Yi anyway.

Lu Yi needs to go to see Mrs. Du in person, so this can only be dealt with later.

Lu Yi said, "What about the monthly interest?"
