“I'm leaving the young lady in your hands, she's a new daughter-in-law, you old maids have to be more or less responsible for her. If there's anything you're not sure about, let me know as soon as possible. You'll save her the trouble. I've known you all my whole life. She's a shy young lady, but she's not afraid of the law. If you try to bully her like this, I won't let you get away with it if I find out.” Mrs. Wang had a kind smile on her face as she spoke towards Sister Li and the group of women in charge.

　　“Yes. The slave girls wouldn't dare to belittle the young lady.” Sister Li answered for the women behind her, and Madam Wang watched as her personal elder maid, Zhenniang, gave a large string of keys and two pairs of cards to Qi Qian, who was beside Guan Junyun, with her own hands.

　　The corners of Sister Li's mouth spread into a derisive smile, and Guan Junyun glanced at the keys and pair of cards in Qi Qian's hand, and when she saw Sister Li at a glance, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, “Daughter-in-law will honor her mother-in-law's teachings, and if there is anything she does not understand, she will definitely come to ask her mother-in-law for advice.”

　　“Well, so be it.” Mrs. Wang nodded: “It's getting late, you go change your clothes first. When you go to the flower hall later, I'm afraid they'll all be waiting for you there.”

　　“Yes, daughter-in-law will leave.” Guan Junyun led the many maids and sisters with a blessing and retreated.

　　“Miss first go back and change your clothes?” Qi Qian followed behind Guan Junyun, seeing that she was dressed in jingling jewelry, and that this was her least favorite way to dress up at home, she couldn't help but go up and ask.

　　Guan Junyun just about to speak, Sister Li has already grabbed up: “Young lady this first day as a family director, there should be a family appearance. In the past, when Mrs. director, can be neatly dressed and careful never dare to have the slightest slack. If the young lady went to change clothes, was the chief historian or housekeeper ladies saw, but also as the young lady intentionally underestimated them, which can be our phase of the house every day out of the people. It's a crowded house, so don't let anyone gossip about you, Young Lady.”

　　When Qi Qian heard this, her face turned blue. Once upon a time at home, who would dare to speak to miss like this. Not to mention a Sister, even the General and Madam had not said a single heavy word. Just now, the old madam had already said a lot of unpleasant words, and the young lady had no place to talk about how much she was wronged, but now she was actually being spoken to like this by a grandma, there was really no more king's law.

　　“Sister is right, Qi Qian is also too delicate.” Guan Junyun smiled faintly and glanced at Qi Qian, “Let's go to the flower hall, I just came here to ask Sister to teach me more.”

　　“The slave girl doesn't dare to teach young lady anything, but is just following madam's wishes.” Sister Li had a smug look on her face as she looked at Guan Junyun: “Young lady is young, naturally she doesn't know the stakes here. Those people outside, which one is good to deal with. If you say something unflattering, won't it make the young lady's honor in her mother's family all gone.”

　　Qi Qian clenched her teeth, her cheeks reddening. A sentence almost came out of her mouth when Guan Junyun turned her head to look at her, “Go and bring the book I put on the table.”

　　“Yes.” With a promise, Qi Qian went down in resignation.

　　The flower hall had long been filled with people who had come to the matter, and just as Mrs. Wang said, they were all women who were outside to manage the return. Fewer than two nearly middle-aged men, but also a face of shrewd and capable. I've heard that the people who are in charge of things in the Xiangfu, besides the housekeeper's wife, there is also the chief historian officer of the Xiangfu who follows Zhuge Chen around. Not only do they have to be in charge of the common affairs of the Xiangfu, but most of the time, they also have to worry about Zhuge Chen's food and living outside. These two people were probably the ones who followed Zhuge Chen around every day.

　　Guan Junyun sat down on the top and looked through the book that Qi Qi had just brought. The roster of the Siangfu's household staff was all in here, filled with each person's duties and the affairs they were in charge of. It can be seen that Mrs. Wang has spent a lot of effort on this matter. Just some things are one person more than one thing, or more than one thing, there will inevitably be negligence or each other shirking mistakes. Although it is the first time to see these, as long as the heart can still be seen.

　　“Slave girls see Young Lady.” Headed by the two neatly dressed women, there were also the two men whose dress and demeanor were very different from that of an ordinary domestic servant who all greeted them in front of them.

　　When Guan Junyun was at home, she never asked about these things, and those servants had to salute and avoid her when they saw her from three feet away. Seeing so many people men and women in front of her was a bit uncomfortable, clearing her throat, “Just, there is no need for so much etiquette.”

　　“Belonging to the prime minister followed the attendant outside, come to talk back to the young lady, draw this January's salary.” Without waiting for the crowd to open their mouths, He Xi, one of the two men dressed in soap clothes, had already taken half a step forward, half bowing with an expressionless look on his face.

　　Guan Junyun picked up the book at hand and flipped through two pages, on which was clearly written Zhuge Chen's daily spending outside, most of which was supported by his monthly salary, but this attendant's silver and rice was also spent from the Sangfu. Just this previous support days from this time is less than a month, this time to support the salary is also afraid to give himself a downward spiral look.

　　Slightly silent for a moment: “You follow the Prime Minister outside the pay, is it monthly or daily support? If it is a monthly payment, it is not yet time.”

　　He Xi froze, obviously not expecting such a question. After hesitating for a moment, “Back to Young Lady, it is monthly.”

　　“I guess it's been a long time and you've forgotten?” Guan Junyun picked up a pen and marked it on the booklet, “It's not yet the day, come back when the day comes. There are many things to do outside, so it is possible to forget. Just don't forget next time.”

　　“Yes.” A big man was spoken to twice by a woman who looked delicate and timid, some of his face couldn't bear it. Although the words were soothing and did not have the slightest meaning of reproach, they called out to people who could not bear these two words. He Xi raised her head to look at Guan Junyun and retreated to the side without speaking.

　　Sister Li looked at He Xi with hatred, this was arranged long ago to give this seemingly unintelligent young lady a bit of a showdown, did not expect to be refuted as soon as she opened her mouth. Raising his eyes toward the cook Zheng's wife, who had been standing on the side for a long time, he gave her a wink.

　　Sister-in-law Zheng understood and came over from the side with a smile: “Back to the young lady's words, the slave girl came to give the young lady a reply. Miss and Mr. Aunt are coming back from the outside world to stay for a few days. Do you want to bring the silver and rice from the aunt's house or from the government? If you bring it from the master's house, I'm afraid people will laugh at you. If it's from the government, you'll need to get a license from the young lady and write a handwritten note to the account office to receive it.”

　　Guan Junyun had been silently reading these things since the second day of her marriage, and most of the things they said were from books and pamphlets, and there was no precedent for what the cook was saying. There has never been a lady aunt returning to her mother's home and having to bring silver and rice back from her aunt's home. As for the writing of the hand Kai to take the right card to the government to draw, is it possible that the daughter to return to her mother's home to live some time, but also let people gossip with the mother's family's money and food?

　　I can't say that this is intentionally giving myself a hard time, but if this matter is taken out as a serious matter to ask someone, I'm afraid that the grandmother beside me will have a whole lot of words to say to herself, what sister-in-law is stingy when she is in charge, this matter still need to hesitate for so long. I don't need to hear this kind of words, I know what she will say.
