Chapter 199 This job can be done
Throughout the process of recognizing relatives, Yu Zhi behaved very appropriately and generously.
This made Mrs. Hou, who was worried that she hadn't seen any big scenes, in case of stage fright or showing a public spirit, heaved a sigh of relief. Anyway, Yu Zhi is her direct daughter-in-law, so she can't lose face.
After confirming their relatives, breakfast was set up. There are not many masters in the Hou Mansion, so there is no separate table for men and women. According to the rules, Yu Zhi, the bride, should serve the elders as a show of filial piety.
The embarrassing Su did not leave, and sat at the dining table leisurely, with two maidservants standing behind her serving her, making it clear that she wanted to see Yu Zhi's joke.
Yu Zhi didn't intend to challenge the rules, so let's just serve vegetables, isn't it just for the elders? She has long arms and steady hands, and she can do this job well.
Yu Zhi stood obediently and served Mrs. Hou some food. Mrs. Hou was quite satisfied with her performance. Yu Zhi picked up two chopsticks, and Madam Hou said, "Sit down too."
If it were someone else, they would definitely show gratitude that they were not tired, and stick to the rules and serve to the end.
Yu Zhi is so sincere, he really sat down if he asked to sit down.
But after sitting down, Yu Zhi noticed that everyone at the table looked at her strangely, as if they were very surprised.
Yu Zhi thought for a moment, then slowly got up again, with a little apprehension on his face, "Should I not sit?"
Everyone...
How do they answer this?
Wen Jiuxiao was the only one with a calm expression, "Sit down."
Yu Zhi looked towards Mrs. Hou, and Mrs. Hou, who had already calmed down, nodded, "Sit down."
Yu Zhi sat down obediently, and ate his breakfast quietly and reservedly, picking up food for himself twice and helping the kid next to him get out of his reach once.
As expected of the Hou Mansion, the food is really good, even a big table is set up for breakfast, most of which are Yu Zhi's favorite. Yu Zhi ate hard, not slow at all, and accidentally ate an extra bowl.
Then she saw the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law looked at her as if she had seen a ghost, Yu Zhi expressed her innocence, the bowls in Hou's house were too small, did she drink three bowls of porridge a lot? Getting married is hard work, how much did she exercise last night? She still felt that it was a little bit worse, and she could have two more milky steamed buns.
Wen Jiuxiao was the calmest, and took a small plate to pick up all the food she had passed her eyes, and gently put it in front of her, "Eat it."
Yu Zhi gave him a look of approval, but was entangled again, should he eat or not? After only a second of hesitation, she cheerfully picked up the shortbread and put it in her mouth.
It’s just a new company, how can you not let you have enough food? No matter how many rules there are in the Hou Mansion, it doesn't care how much the daughter-in-law eats, right?
After dinner, Mrs. Hou sent Yu Zhi back, and told her that from now on, she only needed to settle down in the morning and evening, and the whole family would eat together on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year or during festivals, and stay in her yard at other times.
Back in the yard, the steward brought a few servant girls over, "Third young lady, the third master didn't like servant girls to serve him before, so there are no maids in this yard. Now that you're here, madam is worried that you don't have enough manpower here, so she Ask the servant to send you a few servant girls to choose from."
Yu Zhi glanced at the maid he brought over, didn't choose, but said: "I'm new here, so I don't understand many things. Since I was sent to me by the housekeeper, it can be seen that they are all outstanding. How about it, please trouble the housekeeper Help me pick one, I want to be capable, obedient, and worry-free in my yard, housekeeper, you can pick me according to this standard."
Paused for a moment, then asked him: "How many would Madam choose?"
The housekeeper hurriedly replied, "Madam didn't say anything, the specific number depends on what you need here, Third Madam."
Yu Zhi pondered for a while, "Then pick two." There are few people, right and wrong, not to mention she has cherries and the like.
After thinking for a while, Yu Zhi emphasized again, "I'm a straight-tempered person, and I like to talk first. What I need in this yard are maids who do things. Those who want to climb high branches and have the ambition to reach the sky, please go elsewhere , I don’t have a place for you to use. Butler, you have to help me choose carefully, if it doesn’t go well, I will return it to you.”
The housekeeper was stunned, didn't he say that the third young lady is of ordinary background? It is generally polite to say that, as the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, he naturally knows more than ordinary people. This third young lady was originally raised by the third master outside. Look at this style of speaking and doing things is not like it at all.
Wen Jiuxiao came out of the house, "Choose two who have done their sewing."
Yu Zhi gave the two names, one is mangosteen and the other is carambola. Yu Zhi asked them: "Do you know what to do?"
The two hurriedly replied, "Your servant knows."
Yu Zhi nodded, "That's good."
"Dong, young lady." Shiliu and Jiang's mother were a little uneasy.
Yu Zhi glanced at them and said, "It takes a thousand days to raise soldiers. I've trained you for so long, and now it's time for you to repay me. First go to Xiang Lan who is next to Madam to learn the rules, and learn all the rules in the mansion well." , the shop will continue to open, and the affairs of the mansion can't be left behind, and later you will arrange a shift by yourself, can you take care of it?"
"Yes!" The four of them gained confidence in an instant, and their voices were resounding.
They are not afraid of too many things to do, they are afraid of having nothing to do. Moreover, the young lady allowed them to continue to open the shop, which was more surprising than anything else. Who wants to be trapped in the mansion all day long when they are used to seeing the outside world? Isn't it just learning the rules? Can it be more difficult than literacy and accounting?
"Young Madam, are the servants going to learn the rules today?"
"Don't worry, first order some things in our yard, and make a set of accounts." Yu Zhi assigned the task, "Mother Jiang, you are still following Zhouzhou."
Wen Jiuxiao, who has been on the sidelines, was surprised. His Zhizhi seemed to have nothing to be troubled by, no matter where he went, he adapted well and was able to handle it with ease.
Yu Zhi passed him into the house, and quickly changed into a new set of clothes, still comfortable in homely clothes. She asked someone to move a soft couch under the window, and leaned on it in a daze.
A large shadow was cast on the top of the head, and then there was an extra person beside him, "What are you thinking?"
Yu Zhi turned his head, "Are you free?"
Wen Jiuxiao nodded, "Xiu Mu."
Oh, oh, I see, it's a wedding holiday! "Then don't disturb me, I want to be quiet."
Wen Jiuxiao didn't move, obviously didn't understand what she meant. Yu Zhi gave him a squinting look, "I just married you, why don't I take a look at the relationships in the house?"
Wen Jiuxiao's eyes flickered for a moment, he didn't know what he thought of, his eyes were soft, "I'll help you smooth it out."
"No need." Can he stroke the same way as she strokes? "You lead Zhou Zhou around the mansion, teach him to recognize the way, and teach him to read by the way."
As a father, shouldn’t you help your children learn? Wow, Kaka, I finally got rid of the task of tutoring and studying.
"Alright!" Wen Jiuxiao led the boy to explore the new map.
Yu Zhi thought silently in his heart: the whole Wu'anhou's mansion is a big company, father-in-law Wu'anhou is the chairman, and mother-in-law is the general manager. It seems that the father-in-law has the greatest power, but the mother-in-law has the final say on daily affairs.
There are several departments in the company. The main department, the second and the third are important departments. Although there is competition, the status is equal.
Of course, this equality is in the eyes of the chairman’s father-in-law. At the mother-in-law of the general manager, the second room is a concubine, and the bowl of water on the big face is flat, but she doesn't like it. Specifically reflected in the allocation of personnel, the distribution of work and the distribution of benefits, they should be targeted and put on small shoes.
As the young wife of the third bedroom, she should be considered the second in command of the department. In other words, there are only three leaders on her head: the father-in-law of the chairman, the mother-in-law of the general manager, and the new husband Wen Jiuxiao.
Among them, she doesn't have many meetings with the chairman of the board, so there shouldn't be any direct conversations, so it's enough to maintain face. The general manager's mother-in-law is her direct leader, and her impression of her is directly related to her quality of life, which must be flattered.
As for the department manager—her husband Wen Jiuxiao, aha, they are actually more like partners. It seems that he has the final say, but in fact she holds the real power.
Currently, her department manager is a genius. He has already succeeded in starting a business outside and has his own company. And he dotes on her very much, and is willing to take her to great heights together.
Isn't it morning and evening? It’s just clocking in in the morning and clocking out in the evening, it’s drizzle! Back in the third room, someone else is doing the work. She, the second in command, is not drinking tea and looking at her mobile phone, oh no, she is reading a book, so she is very leisurely?
If she is not happy with her work, her department manager can still take her to set up her own business.
Yu Zhiyi summed it up, this job can be done!
