Mama Shang's surname was originally not Shang, but Li instead. It was the Shang Mansion that gave her a surname, which was why her surname was Shang with her master's. Mama Shang's older brother was called Li Yanhong, who was a manservant at the Shang Mansion's stable. Because he was good at feeding horses, he was sent to the general's mansion by Shang Jie to feed horses. That time when Li Yanhong was feeding the horse, his potbellied wife, Lady Li, came to look for him. However, when Li Yanhong was fed the horse, his potbellied wife, Lady Li, came to look for him. Madame Li then asked Madame Jiang to give her daughter a name. Old Madame Jiang casually called her 'Li Yun', and Madame Li's daughter was called Li Yun. However, because Li Yanhong was born in the stable, everyone called her Ma Yun instead of Li Yun.

Ma Yun came from a humble background, but she had a natural fox-like aura. She would usually serve others, fawning over her aunt Shang mama to get her a good job in front of Shang Jie. Mama Shang also made a big effort to let Ma Yun into Shang Jie's room for work, managing the four hour dress. Since she was 15 years old, Shang Jie was going to pawn her at the beginning of the year. Who knew that she would cry and refuse, but she didn't say why. Shang Jie only sent Mother Shang to ask, and did not get much out of her, so she could only give up for the time being. Although Mama Shang didn't manage to get anything out of her, after observing her for a while, she was able to guess that Ma Yun had a change of heart. After finding an opportunity, he said to her, "I know what you are thinking. It's just that the General's Estate doesn't accept concubines. You are delusional."

Ma Yun said in a low voice, "I don't believe that the young general is unmoved by mortal desires. I just don't have the chance!"

When Mama Shang saw that Ma Yun was unwilling to give up, she was moved. This niece of hers had grown up to the point where she was like a blossoming flower. Several servants came to her to flatter her, so she knew what they were thinking. It's just that what kind of day would a pageboy have to stand up for? If he was able to catch Jiang Huan's eye, not only Ma Yun, but himself as well, would immediately get promoted. As she thought of this, she stopped trying to persuade Ma Yun. Instead, she secretly gave him an opportunity. Unfortunately, she wasn't willing to serve a girl with Jiang Huanan, so she wasn't able to succeed for the time being.

When Jiang Hualian and Jiang Huagang brought the embroidery lady to North China in March, Mama Shang plotted to wait for Jiang to come back. She wanted Jiang to find an opportunity to let him see Ma Yun take a bath, so he had to take responsibility. However, they didn't expect Jiang Huashan to come back from Beicheng and marry He Yuan on the same day, which made their plan come to naught. At present, Madame Jiang's monk, Jane, was out. He Yuan was still young, but it was a good time to act. Now that he had poured the incense into his mouth, there was one less person in front of him to watch. When he paid his respects to the heavenly lord tomorrow, he would make Ma Yun act like this again. He was not afraid that Jiang Hua An would fall for his trap.

On the other hand, He Yuan had the overseer ask about the price of Xi Guo's fruit. The hawkers had originally agreed to raise the price to sell the fruit to Gu Mu. Who knew that the one asking for the price wasn't Mother Gu, but the other steward from the General's Estate who often went out to pick up Jiang Huashan's belongings. He didn't dare to lie to her, so he obediently gave his price. Manager He Yuan came in and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since you all got up early. Servants, come and give us some rewards!" Hmm, one strike for a sweet jujube, this method should be common in both ancient and modern times!

The little girl is very obedient, not letting us get into any trouble. She is very shrewd and knows how to reward us, making us happy. Although she is young, she can't be underestimated. Mother Gu stopped looking down on him and thought to herself: "Even if I have taken advantage of this fruit, I won't be able to get much money. Now, I have to find another way to obtain a huge sum of money."

Mother Gu first accompanied one of the bodyguards at Old General Jiang's side. In the battle between Nanchang and Beicheng that year, Old General Jiang led his troops and sent out his troops. The bodyguard followed the army and the enemy's arrow shot out, the bodyguard used his body to block the arrow for Old General Jiang and died on the spot. For this reason, Madame Jiang highly valued Mother Gu, and Shang Jie greatly valued her as well. It was just that Mother Gu's son hadn't been doing well in the outside world for the past few years, and her grandchildren had not gotten a betrothal gift when they reached the age of marriage. The old man had no money at hand, but he no longer felt safe and gradually grew greedy. He thought that old lady Jiang, Monk Jie, had opened and closed her eyes, waiting for an opportunity to raise a pension for herself in the General's Estate. Now that Madame Jiang had left, the mansion only had the steward, He Yuan, and this was a good opportunity.

He Yuan knew that his mother had some face in front of Madame Jiang. Although she was making things difficult for him, he couldn't be too sincere. He waited for her to accept the reward before smiling and saying, "Mother Gu, since mother Shang is sick, we can only discuss the matters of the mansion with you." "Tomorrow is the day of worship for the Lord of the Heavens. This is the first time I am leading everyone in this ceremony. Please tell me how to perform the ceremony."

While they were talking, the little girl came in and told them that she had arrived at the hospital for Mama Shang and the doctor called Chun Xiang. When He Yuan heard that, he turned to the few servants and said, "The doctor has arrived. Could a mother please bring him in for mother Shang and elder sister Ying Xiang to see."

Seeing that Mama Shang and Fuxiang were ill, and Mama Gu covetously glaring at them, He Yuan actually settled the bill for the meat and vegetables while chatting and laughing, and then he arranged for the fruits to be sold at a fair price. This time, he would invite the doctors to come and see them, and everything would remain calm and peaceful, and he would put aside his contempt for them for a while. I told the doctor to show the mother and tassel that there was a mother who wanted to be on good terms with her, so I hurried off.

As Shang Jie's mother was her concubine and the head maidservant was her most capable servant, both of them fell ill. He Yuan did not dare to delay any longer. When the doctor finished looking at them, he was paid for and asked about their condition. The doctor only laughed and said, "But it doesn't matter if you eat two things that shouldn't be eaten together. Mother ate less, but it was not a big problem. Today, I was hungry, so I had a light porridge in the evening. Tomorrow would be fine. "Elder sister has eaten a lot, and will need to recuperate for a few days. She will just have to fry two pills and eat them."

If Gu Mummy made a fool of him, he would definitely make Shang mama eat more, and eat less, rather than the other way around. He Yuan blinked his eyes as he watched the situation. The matter of having diarrhea must have been handled by his mother. Was Mama Shang trying to cause trouble for him? Or did he want to watch his mother fight with him, and then she would come out to fish for profit? Or was there some other purpose?

He Yuan, Mother Gu, and the others were having a heart fight, while everyone in the He manor was worrying about it.

"This butler governs the inner chamber. In addition to suppressing others, he also has to do grace and grace to be able to subdue people's hearts. However, since Sister Yuan is young, you should not offend people even if you only manage for ten days. For those who are good enough for your wife, open your eyes and let others have a sweet spot. When Matriarch He heard that He Yuan wanted the housekeeper, she passed on the instructions to the young mistress, "Even if Sister Yuan were to suffer a little, there is still a need for General's Wife to come back and clean up the place. You must not go to the General's Estate at this time to gossip."

"Old granny, don't worry. I know my limits." The lady smiled and wrote down some matters that he should take note of. She then told him about the congratulatory speech that she had sent to He Yuan and continued, "Although Sister Yuan is still young, she is still a first wife. In the future, you will naturally have to take care of her. The general's wife left immediately, not just to see if Sister Yuan was a housekeeper, but also to see if there were any problems that the old servants could stir up and come back to clean up. The general's manor was fine, but the faces of the old servants below were extremely annoying. In the future, if Sister Yuan isn't able to control these old servants, I'm afraid it'll be hard for them to relax. "

Old Madam He nodded. "The men of the General's Estate got married too late and didn't want to take in concubines. Thus, they weren't provided with a room to get married in. This time, our Sister Yuan was in a hurry to get married, but she didn't have any capable mama in charge to accompany her. Thus, she was left alone. When these old servants saw that Sister Yuan's mother couldn't handle things anymore, they would definitely plot against her, or try to restrain her so that they could continue to display their might in the future. However, it has only been ten days of hard work, so we don't have to worry too much about them making trouble or playing any big tricks. "

As they talked, the message was delivered to the general's manor. Coincidentally, Jiang Hua An had returned and greeted them, smiling as he exchanged a few words. When He Yuan heard the congratulatory speech, he rushed out to meet them. The moment he saw He Yuan come out, he took a closer look and shook his head, "Why have you lost weight? Hearing that would cause your housekeeper to be exhausted, right? "

While the siblings chatted, Jiang Huashan had a colleague pay a visit to him, and he went to the outer hall to welcome them. After Jiang Huanan had left, he handed over a small booklet written by your elder sister. He smiled and said, "I heard that your housekeeper, mother and father are getting anxious. It's just that it's not convenient to come over and teach you right now. Mother wanted to tell me this, and tell me to tell you about it, but she was afraid that I would not explain it clearly, so she hurried to write this and told me to bring it over. "Take a good look at it in the evening."

He Yuan took it over and read it. Seeing how he was going to manage his wife and how he was going to work so hard to reward her, he wrote it in detail. There was also how to perform the etiquette during the first rites, how to kowtow in front of the temple on the second day, how to make clothes for the servants on the third day, and so on, all over the place. He couldn't help but be moved as he whispered, "Mother still doesn't trust me that much."

"You've been married for less than a month, but your mother has lost a few kilograms. She's been talking about how you were when you were at home all day, and when she recited it, her father muttered," Since you couldn't bear to let it go, you should just die on that day. As he spoke, he smiled. As it was getting late, he took his leave as he was afraid that he would delay He Yuan in managing his family affairs.

After He Yuan sent the message out, he went back to the small side hall. There was also the steward, so he was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink a cup of tea. When he finally got back to his room, he lay down on his bed after taking a bath and yelled, "I'm so tired!"

"I'll help you loosen your bones!" Although Jiang Hua An's heart ached for He Yuan, it was not convenient for him to interfere with matters like managing his wife. He made He Yuan lie on the bed with his legs crossed and stretched out his hand for He Yuan to massage. Are you comfortable? "

"Very comfortable!" He Yuan woke up early in the morning and was busy the whole day. He felt sore all over his body and was gently being held by Jiang Hua An's thick hands on his back. He subconsciously groaned and said, "My neck is sore too!"

Jiang Hua An moved both his hands up, stroking He Yuan's white neck. When he was about to press down, his hands were smooth and delicate, and he was about to withdraw them, but he couldn't bear to do so. Just as he was about to struggle mentally, he heard a few footsteps outside.
