"Old Mistress Jiang and the General's Wife are going to congratulate their uncle's family and have Sister Yuan take care of the house?" When the elder sister heard the news, she stood up in fright and said, "Earlier, Sister Yuan was only interested in learning embroidery and managing household chores. Since it was not time to teach her, how can her butler handle it now? Although there weren't as many people in the general's residence as the He Residence, they all had their own origins and were not easy to control. If they had a problem, they were afraid that Sister Yuan would be a joke. If we lose face in front of them, it will be even harder to manage us in the future. "

"The young lady is still young and hasn't been married for more than a month. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be the housekeeper. It's obvious that the wife of the general is trying to test the young lady!" She smiled and said, "Grandmother, you don't have to worry too much. I just hope that nothing bad will happen in the next ten days." The biggest task for the steward is nothing more than the monthly allowance and the various ways in and out of the kitchen. Furthermore, there are also people from the various residences. These three matters have nothing to do with each other. "

"This is the end of July, the time when the kitchen checks out the bill. In two days it would be August, and it would be the day when the families would send out their monthly gifts of silver. "On the first day of the new year, we still have to bring people from the mansion to pay our respects to the heavenly lord. On the second day, we can burn incense in the Confucius Mother Temple. At the beginning, it is time for us to dress everyone up, on the fourth day …" "If Madame Jiang and the general were to leave in the middle of the month with the assistance of a capable mother, Sister Yuan would be able to deal with it at will. I'm afraid that Sister Yuan might not be able to handle this situation."

Chun Ying said anxiously, "What should I do? "If I can get a good housekeeper mother to come to the General's House to help the young lady, I'll help her out. We'll talk about it after we get past this hurdle."

"Now that we've heard about Sister Yuan, let's hurry and send the manager's mother over. If you don't know, you'll say that we're taking advantage of this time to go to the General's Estate to reap some benefits. Besides, Miss Yuan, you must not get involved with this family to prevent them from gossiping. " The elder sister rejected Chun Ying's opinion, her heart was filled with anxiety. Because He Yuan was in a hurry to get married, he didn't have the time to help her manage her mother. He only had to follow the almonds and the two mothers who were in charge of the dowry. Originally, he thought that since Shang Jie and the others agreed to allow He Yuan to stay here for half the month, he would just have to slowly teach her about these housekeepers. Who knew that since the marriage was less than a month old, she would be the one to manage the family.

"Even so, you can't just watch this lady suffer in the General's Estate, right?"

Your sister saw that the girls were worried, so she said, "Yes, we have to avoid suspicion. We can't go see Sister Yuan at this time, but Saying Bro can see Hua An. When I had written down the urgent matters that the steward wanted to take care of, I instructed my brother to go to the General's House and find a chance to give it to Sister Yuan. Also, if Hua An is able to back up Sister Yuan in secret, then no matter who it is, they wouldn't dare to be too excessive. "

As for He Yuan, since the arrival of old madam Jiang and Shang Jie, the first two days had been quite peaceful. On the third day, he woke up and before he even had time to eat, Mother Gu had already brought a group of people to wait outside the small side hall, whispering to each other.

Since Jiang Huanan had left early in the morning, the almonds were afraid that He Yuan wouldn't be able to deal with these old women, so they hurriedly went to invite Mama Shang and Zuoxiang. Who knew that the little girl would come back and say, "Sister Almond, Mama Shang and Sister Zuoxiang had eaten the wrong thing last night. They couldn't get out of bed this morning and are currently trying to inform the young madam that they're inviting a doctor to take a look!"

"What a coincidence!" Almond was flustered. "Mistress allowed Mama Shang and Sister Yingxiang to take care of the Young Mistress's family. It's only been two days, and they've already gotten sick, so how can the Young Mistress handle this alone?" As she was speaking, she heard the murmurs outside grow louder and louder. She could not help but lift the curtain and say, "Mothers, didn't you say that you would not come back at midnight every day? It's only a quarter to ten right now, and the young madam hasn't finished her meal. Is there something urgent for you all to come over so early? "

"Yo, almonds, we're waiting. The people outside can't wait." Pointing at Aunt Li who was in charge of the kitchen, she said, "The peddlers who brought the fish and meat here today all have to settle the bill with Aunt Li. Since Aunt Li didn't dare to come in so early and bother the young madam, I had no choice but to take it. It was already the end of the month, and earlier dry goods stores had sent waiters to pay the bill. Everyone was waiting outside the mansion. If they had to wait for too long, they would have to say that they were the young madame's stewards. Since they were busy, they would naturally be late. Those who didn't know would think that the General's Estate wanted to renege on their debt. Our General's Estate has never done such a thing. Aren't I in a hurry? "

When He Yuan and Chen Zhu were having their meal together, they heard the voice of a wife outside and snorted, "Yesterday, Brother An was at the mansion, so they didn't dare to call out loud when they came. Now they're asking about Brother An and the rest's departure, so they let go of their throats and started talking."

The moment Madame Jiang's monk Jane left the room, Chen Zhu felt that these women had become impolite and wanted the little girl to run twice. She had been muttering to herself, but when she heard the sound of the voices outside growing louder and more indignant, she said angrily, "Madame has only been gone for two days, and they've already come and bullied you. How preposterous!"

Just as he was speaking, he heard the grandma outside talking louder and louder. He Yuan could only use a little girl to ask, "Look who is outside? Please come in and speak. Those who do not know about this conversation outside the door will think that something big has happened. "

When the almonds heard that those who wanted to settle their debts were waiting outside the mansion, they were startled. Seeing that the little girl had come out to pass on the message, they hurriedly lifted the curtains and let Mother Gu, Aunt Li, and the others in. He then whispered into He Yuan's ear.

Mother Shang and Ear Fragrance both had bad stomachs? When He Yuan heard this, he frowned slightly. It wasn't that Mama Shang and Fuxiang wanted him to whisper to them, but it was because of Mother Gu. It was impossible for them to eat together until their stomachs were full. As she thought about it, she instructed the almonds, "Since they've eaten too much, they naturally have to invite a doctor. Send someone to bring a doctor in for them to have a look!" Regardless of whether it was real or fake, he still had to put on an act.

Mama Gu led Aunt Li and a few other women with heads. When they saw that the little girl didn't dare to hesitate, they hurriedly stepped forward to let them sit down. A pleased expression appeared on their faces as they each looked at each other. Look, she was just an eleven-year-old girl, how powerful could she be? I've heard that Mama Shang and Fuxiang had a bad stomach from a long time ago. This isn't a heaven-sent opportunity, so I decided to use this to pinch this little girl to see if she'll beg for us or not. She was young, yet she didn't get along well with the young general, and instead called herself his young mistress. "After a few years, we can talk about our parents!

He glanced up at them, then put down the bowl of porridge. When the little girl had cleaned up, he asked, "Mother Gu, could it be that these people from the Gu family have come to settle the bill so early?"

"Not really." Mother Gu led a large group of women in. Seeing that He Yuanjing was sitting there without panicking, she snorted in her heart, but then smiled and said, "Because on the first day of August, when we were going to offer sacrifices to the heavenly lord, we had to buy all kinds of fruits. These people not only came to settle the bill, but also brought some fruits. Whoever arrived first, the manor would naturally purchase from them. They were afraid that someone else would try to steal the business first, so they came earlier. "

"Oh!" He Yuan then rinsed his mouth and took the handkerchief offered by the almond. He wiped his mouth and said: "Each towel belongs to me. I will settle the bill first and then settle it later!"

Mother Gu was startled. She thought they were waiting for the bill at the entrance of the mansion, but since Mama Shang and Fuxiang weren't around, He Yuan would be flustered. As long as she suggested something, she would naturally reject the bill. After comparing them in a row, Ye Xiao naturally did the work of collecting the Hierarch Fruits. However, he didn't expect that this little girl would actually be so calm and unhurried.

"Aunt Li, if this outsider wants to pay the bill, he'll naturally have the account to report. You report it first, I'll settle the ones that fit. Those that don't fit, tell them to calculate it again." He Yuan made a mistake. It was just a food account. Look at how difficult it was. Look at Mother Gu. She thought it was a big deal to settle a bill. As he spoke, he called for someone to hand over the account book and started reading.

Although Aunt Li was a relative of Mother Gu, she was not as daring as her mother. She did not dare to be too impudent in front of He Yuan. He calmed himself down and said in a daze, "Young Madam, they haven't reported their accounts yet."

"You didn't report the accounts?" He Yuan took a sip of the tea that was passed over by the almonds, placed the cup on the table and said, "Madam, these people haven't even reported their debt yet and you dare to rush in and make such a ruckus? "You guys are obviously trying to bully me because I'm too young. You guys want to scare me off and then let me make the decision, right?" As he spoke, his voice became stern, causing Aunt Li to be frightened. "I don't dare. I'll immediately ask them to report the accounts."

Mother Gu saw that it took He Yuan only a moment to settle the bill with Aunt Li, so she couldn't help but clench her teeth. She didn't expect this little girl to be so good at looking at her accounts. She secretly gave Aunt Li a look. Aunt Li understood and said to He Yuan, "Young madam, tomorrow is the first of August, but we have to prepare for this matter of purchasing the Shrimp's Fruit. "The hawkers that were used to doing business in the past had already picked up their wares and brought them to the entrance of the mansion. Should we buy them some from them?"

The corner of He Yuan's mouth curled up as he smiled and said, "Of course we have to prepare these and other things today. However, since we are here to buy things, we naturally have to compare the prices of the goods between three families. Whoever buys them cheaply will have to buy them, how can we rush to buy them just because they picked them earlier? It's not like we let them pick it early. " Humph, want to take advantage of the fruit, let me buy expensive, then you take the rebate? No way!

Mother Shang, on the other hand, was lying on her bed. She had already gone to the side chamber to inquire about what had happened that morning, and when she heard He Yuan, she was stunned. She muttered to herself, "I didn't expect that the little girl would have such a way with things." As she spoke, she asked in a low voice, "How is the tassel?"

"Of course, it's good to have a stomachache. It won't take more than two or three days. "Tomorrow, when you pay your respects to the heavenly lord, it will naturally be you, old lady, to stand to the side." The old woman chuckled, "At that time, your niece will naturally be able to take the place of the incense stick." He lowered his voice and said, "Based on the looks of your nephew's daughter, I don't believe that the young general will be able to see it." The young lady was still young, how could the young general endure it? As long as your niece is chosen, your position in the manor is something that Old Gu cannot match up to. "
