Cousin Chitose Chitose

In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Wen's birthday is approaching.

Because the old man Wen was an important minister of Emperor Taizong and once served as the prince's tutor, the young emperor respected the old man very much, so he specially sent someone to send a birthday gift.

Some patriarchs who looked down upon the Wen family before heard the words, and hurriedly ordered someone to send a generous gift to the Wen family.Now that the emperor values ​​the Wen family so much, the Wen family may not be able to restore its former glory.

Marquis Changning never lagged behind others in terms of communication. After learning about the movements of many noble families in Beijing, he asked, "Can the birthday gift from our mansion be sent to Wenfu?"

"Give it away, but those servants who are in charge of gift giving haven't come back yet, I wonder if the gift from our house is in line with old lady Wen's wishes."

The muscles on Changninghou's face twitched.Even the emperor gave gifts, the Wen Mansion will definitely be very lively today, if the presents from their manor are returned in public like last year, it will be a big embarrassment.

"Is it Shu'er who is in charge of preparing the gift this year?"

"No, it's Miss Cousin."

"Is it Yuanyuan? I remember that Shu'er was doing the work of preparing the gift. How could Yuanyuan be in charge of this?"

Marquis Changning stroked the wrench on his hand.He originally thought that Wei Jinshu was the one who prepared the gift, and with the second wife watching, the birthday gift sent out could not go wrong, but Jiang Yuanwan was actually in charge of it!No matter how smart Jiang Yuanwan was, she was just a child after all, so there might be something that she didn't do well...

"Reporting to Lord Hou, Second Miss suddenly found Miss Biao last month and said that she wanted to exchange work with Miss Biao..."

"So, Yuanyuan hasn't even been learning how to prepare gifts for a month?"

"Yes, for some reason, the second lady changed jobs very suddenly and in a hurry..."

"Did she mention Yuanyuan?"

"As far as I know, no."

Marquis Changning was really angry this time.On weekdays, women in the back house have some small thoughts, and he never cares about them, as long as he knows how to behave and doesn't make trouble outside.But the second wife and Wei Jinshu didn't care about the face of the Marquis of Changning at all because of their petty thoughts, which touched the Marquis of Changning's bottom line!

Soon, Wei Yichen learned about Changning Hou angrily looking for trouble with the Second Madam and Wei Jinshu, and said with satisfaction, "Reward."

"This time, you did a good job." It turned out that the servant who secretly complained in front of Marquis Changning was Wei Yichen's man.

The man smiled naively, looking very honest: "Thank you, son, the villain is just telling the truth in front of Lord Hou."

"Beside my father, there should be more 'tell the truth' people like you."

If the second wife and Wei Jinshu were to fight Wei Jinxuan, Wei Yichen wouldn't bother, but the mother and daughter wanted to see Jiang Yuanwan make a fool of themselves, so don't blame him for making them miserable!

Marquis Changning's method of dealing with the second wife, mother and daughter was simple and rude.

Isn't the second lady in charge of housekeeping now?That being the case, she should be involved in all important affairs.She asked Jiang Yuanwan to give Mrs. Wen a gift, but she didn't give any advice. This is dereliction of duty!Since you can't manage your home well, then ask your gender to manage it!

Marquis Changning's words deprived the power of the second wife, mother and daughter.

The second wife, mother and daughter have been living like ducks in water these past few months. They took advantage of the housekeeper's convenience to arrange a lot of manpower, and made a lot of money for their own house. The servants in the mansion flattered them one after another.Marquis Changning hit them with such a sap, which stunned them all.

Why is Jiang Yuanwan not unlucky yet, but Marquis Changning came to ask them first to question her?

"Uncle, it's not that my mother doesn't want to advise Cousin Jiang, it's that Cousin Jiang said that she wants to try to handle this matter by herself, and she doesn't need my mother's guidance!"

Wei Jinshu wanted to put the blame on Jiang Yuanwan, but Marquis Changning didn't listen to her at all: "I'm talking to your mother, how can it be your turn to intervene? Is this how your mother taught you? I'm ashamed to say that you are polite, Playing tricks all day long, I think you have learned all the etiquette in the stomach of a dog!"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Jinshu's face turned extremely pale.

Marquis Changning asked the second wife again: "I take back your power of housekeeper, are you convinced?"

"Convince, be convinced..." The second lady looked at her crying daughter who was bombarded by Marquis Changning, how dare she say no?You have to obey even if you don't accept it!

"If you are in charge of housekeeping, you have to be responsible for everything. It's not about sharing the matter with Sister Xuan or Yuanyuan, and letting Mama Hu teach them, so you can ignore it! Don't talk about you this time. If you didn’t fulfill your responsibilities, it’s because you taught Yuanyuan seriously, and if Yuanyuan makes a big mistake, I’ll still find you!” Marquis Changning looked at the second lady disappointedly: “After all, you still lack a sense of the big picture. You can manage a part of things, you can do a good job, but let you take care of the overall situation... It's a disaster!"

The second wife admitted her mistake like a quail, but she was still unwilling: "Brother, please give me another chance."

Marquis Changning didn't even look at her: "Didn't you tell Sister Yi that you only have one chance? I will return this sentence to you now!"

Those who do not leave a way out for others are often prone to block their own way out.

After Changning Hou trained the second wife, mother and daughter, he began to have a headache on how to finish this matter.

But at this moment, a young servant next to him who was in charge of inquiring about the situation whispered a few words in his ear, and he said in surprise: "What, the Wenfu accepted the birthday gift sent by our mansion? Father-in-law? Personally invite Yuanyuan to Wenfu to celebrate his birthday? What's going on here?"

"Reporting to Lord Hou, I heard that on the basis of the original birthday gifts, Miss Biao added a picture of a hundred years of life written by her own hand. When Old Master Wen saw it, she fell in love with it immediately."

"The gift prepared by our family last year, my father-in-law and my brother-in-law didn't even look at it, so they sent it back. How can it be delivered to my father-in-law this year?"

"I heard that the son begged Master Wen..."

"I see. From the looks of it, Chen'er really cares about Yuanyuan, and Yuanyuan just happens to fall in love with Mrs. Wen."

Marquis Changning suddenly remembered that old man Wen was still the teacher of the first prince, and Jiang Yuanwan and this old man were indeed destined to each other.

"It seems that in the future, we can ask Yuanyuan to represent our Hou Mansion and go to the Wen Mansion more often."

Although the Wen Mansion is a former princeling and has been silent for so many years, the little emperor trusts the Wen Mansion more than the Changning Marquis Mansion.There were many estrangements in previous years, and Marquis Changning didn't expect to be really close to Wenfu as a family, as long as he could get along on the surface.If the little emperor really took back the power from the queen mother, it would also be good for the Marquis of Changning.

"I heard that Yuanyuan's subordinates are opening a shop recently. Go, and transfer the ready-to-wear shop under me to her. It's my uncle's compliment to her. Yuanyuan did a great job in handling the father-in-law's birthday gift. "

The servant couldn't help reminding: "Master, although that shop has not been doing well in recent years, it is still profitable after all, and the shop alone is worth nearly ten thousand taels of silver."

"I don't lack such a shop, but Yuanyuan is so capable, I should give her some opportunities to practice. If Yuanyuan can improve the operation of this shop, in the future, more things can be entrusted to her Let's deal with it."

After speaking, Marquis Changning sighed: "Although I have many daughters and nieces, in terms of ability, they are not as good as Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan is really like her mother in this aspect..."

After hearing this, the servants silently raised Jiang Yuanwan's status in Changning Hou's heart by another level.

You know, although Marquis Chang Ning was generous to this cousin before, buying her jewelry and jewelry is different from directly giving her a shop.

Ladies in the mansion, who hasn't had the jewelry given by the Marquis of Changning?Miss Biao is the only one who can get the store under the name of Marquis Changning.It seems that Marquis Changning really recognized the ability of this young lady.

……

After returning from Wenfu as a guest, Jiang Yuanwan found that Wei Jinxuan, who had been a bit indifferent to her in recent days, became kind to her again, and when she saw her, she stepped forward to hold her hand.

"Cousin Jiang, if you don't make a name for yourself, you can become a blockbuster. Last year, my mother sent someone to give Mrs. Wen a gift, and Mrs. Wen gave her a big shame. Who would have thought that once you made a move this year, you would take care of Mrs. Wen, let Mrs. Wen Treating you as a guest of honor, you really deserve it."

As she said that, Wei Jinxuan pouted again in the direction of the second wife's residence: "You don't know yet, second aunt wants to make you look ugly this time, and her housekeeper has been deprived by her father! What a retribution! "

Jiang Yuanwan actually didn't have any intention of fighting against Wei Jinxuan.When she was made things difficult by the second wife, mother and daughter, Wei Jinxuan stood by and watched, but now that she had resolved the matter, Wei Jinxuan came up to scold the second wife, mother and daughter again, which made her feel uncomfortable.However, there was no genuine affection between her and Wei Jinxuan, so there was no need to be too demanding.

Jiang Yuanwan changed the topic: "Since the second aunt is no longer in charge of the house, who is in charge of the housekeeping now?"

"Father said, the two of us managed it well, let us take care of it, and when we encounter something we don't understand, just ask grandma for advice." Wei Jinxuan smiled complacently: "Now, our power has grown again. There is no Second Aunt pressing on our heads, so we are more comfortable."

"The second aunt has been deprived of the right to be a housekeeper, what about the second sister?"

"She...Father said she didn't understand the rules, and asked her to go to grandma first to learn the rules."

"That's fine, if she trips us up when we're housekeepers, even though we're not afraid of her methods, it's quite troublesome."

"Actually, I really hope that she will come out with some moths. I don't see how I can clean her up!"

"Forget it. For us now, the most important thing is to straighten out all the affairs. Let's discuss the division of labor tonight..."

Jiang Yuanwan thought of the stalls up and down in the mansion, and the shop that Changning Houxin gave her, and suddenly felt that she might not have free time in the next period of time.

The manpower is still not enough, not enough, not enough!But it hasn't been long since the last time we recruited people, so we can't recruit again immediately, can we?

It is impossible for her to fully trust the people left behind by the Marquis of Changning. She has to let a few people she trusts go to take care of things.But Qingyin was too busy opening and closing pharmacies, and Fang Zhi and Fang Pei had just started doing business, and they hadn't found the trick yet, and Liu Yun wasn't good enough for business...

As for the maids around her, they only serve people, their eyes are darkened when they go outside, and they don't know anything, if they are to manage people, they must be in a mess.

Jiang Yuanwan began to think about whether to go to Wei Yichen's place to rob someone and use it first.She naturally trusted Wei Yichen's people more than Changninghou's people.

Speaking of which, she seems to be getting more and more used to asking Wei Yichen for help now.But when she remembered that Wei Yichen had caused her a lot of trouble, she immediately regained her confidence.
