Chapter 5 Qianhua Hall (2)(2/2)

"Grandma, my mother and I went to Qianhuatang to discuss with my aunt." They were guests from afar. They still had the respect they should have for their masters. "If we fail, we will naturally ask our grandmother to come out and make decisions."

When Ji Xiaotang said this, Old Mrs. Ji was filled with joy.

"That's it. Don't think that when you come here, you must swallow your anger when you encounter something. I always make the decision for you. This house was also bought by our Ji family's money! We can live in any way!"

He asked the wet nurse to carry Changsheng, and then took Ji Xiaoyun with him, leaving only Mrs. Ji to rest in Xuanhua Hall. The mother and the other ones came to Qianhua Hall surrounded by the maid and his wife.

Mrs. Ji got the news and came out in person and let them sit in the upper room.

There was no kang in the house where Mrs. Ji was entertaining guests, but only a concubine's couch. There were two roaming backrest chairs under the couch, and there were several tables. There were half-old vermilion red ink-rolled chairs on the chairs. There was a low table of vermilion red python patterned kesi backrests on the couch.

Mrs. Ji Er was invited to sit opposite the couch. Ji Xiaoyun, Ji Xiaotang and Changsheng sat on the chairs under the couch one by one. A little girl brought in fragrant tea and a snack of dessert.

The house is full of beautiful beauty, and auspicious animals are fragrant.

After chatting for a while, Mrs. Ji Er's words naturally turned to sisters Ji Xiaoyun and Ji Xiaotang.

"For the old lady, thanks to Xiaoyun's service, Xiaotang helped me take charge of the housework."

When it comes to housework, Ji Xiaotang spoke naturally.

"I'm having some family matters to discuss with my aunt."

It is also very simple to discuss with Mrs. Ji. The first thing is that the food, clothing and old lady Ji’s second house and Mrs. Ji don’t have to worry about Mrs. Ji’s food. Their food is not required for Mrs. Ji’s kitchen.

"Xuanhua Hall, Jinghua Hall and Yanhua Hall have kitchens, which are also very convenient." Mrs. Ji Er also said.

As for how they arrange their meals, naturally, Mrs. Ji doesn't need to intervene.

"How did this make it happen?" Mrs. Ji, "Mrs. Second Mrs. is like this, just don't treat us as a family." Mrs. Ji also told Mrs. Ji that she had already made arrangements.

The old lady's food, clothing and food are of course the best. Mrs. Ji Er's is equivalent to her, Ji Xiaoyun, Ji Xiaotang and Changsheng are just like Ji Xiaolian's brothers.

"I wanted to pick up the old lady to Beijing several times and let the old lady be filial to me and the old lady beside me. But the old lady was reluctant to leave her ancestral home and refused to come. I treated my nieces and nieces like my own flesh and blood, and I didn't have the opportunity to take good care of them. Now God is pitiful. I finally have a chance..." Mrs. Ji said this, originally planning to be more artificial and suppress Mrs. Ji Er, but when she saw Ji Xiaotang smiling beside her, Mrs. Ji gave up this idea.

Mrs. Ji's words became much more plain and more sincere.

"Let me do more filial piety in front of the old lady and get closer to my nieces and nieces."

"This arrangement makes me worry that I have less thoughts to disturb my aunt and more thoughts to help all parties take care of me. My aunt should be filial to my grandmother and take care of our sisters, but there is no obstacle." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Ji finally nodded and felt secretly happy.

This arrangement really saved her a lot of trouble and trouble. This was proposed by the second wife herself, and the old lady also agreed. Even if people outside talked about it, they could not discuss it.

For Mrs. Ji, this is simply something that is undesirable.

Next, Ji Xiaotang said a few more things, both of which were convenient and profitable, so Mrs. Ji naturally agreed.

Finally, Ji Xiaotang mentioned the matter about the Houjiao Gate.

When Mrs. Ji and the second house owner came in and out, it was naturally the same as when Mr. Ji's family was in and out. However, Ji Xiaotang and the others brought a lot of servants from Qingyuan, and bought every day, and the servants were in and out of business. If they were mixed with the original people from Xinhuatang, there would be many inconveniences.

Fortunately, there is a back corner gate on the back of the East Road courtyard, which leads directly to the street outside. Ji Xiaotang's plan is to let the servants they brought to enter and exit through this side door.

The people who were originally serving in Xinhua Hall were not allowed to enter and exit from this door again.

"There are many adults in the family, so this makes it clear at a glance and easy to take care of." Ji Xiaotang said.

The east side door leads directly to the outside street, and passes through a stone bridge, which is well connected. It is full of prosperity in the capital, which can be said to be very convenient. The servants of Xinhuatang also like to walk through the east side door.

Ji Xiaotang's constitution would cause inconvenience to the former servants of Xinhuatang, but it would be beneficial to the affairs of the whole family.

Mrs. Ji hesitated for a moment and nodded, but she felt uncomfortable and secretly felt that Ji Xiaotang was a little domineering.

"The second wife looks good now. The second girl doesn't like to talk, and the long-lasting child can't tell anything. Only these three girls, after all, follow the old lady, and have also learned the domineering of the old lady." After sending off the second wife and daughter, Mrs. Ji told Mother Feng.

"If this is the third girl's idea, I will see the third girl's rare thing!" Feng's mother praised Ji Xiaotang's rules of conduct. "The girls who are not married have many concerns and are mostly embarrassed. The third girl is rarely so neat and can see thoroughly."

Mrs. Ji didn't speak.

"Madam, speaking of this, there are many people walking around in the east, and some private mistakes are still there, and it is often unstoppable. Now this is also very beneficial to our mansion. Moreover, this is what the third girl asks, and even if someone complains and dissatisfies, it is only the third girl, the old lady and the second wife."

"You are right." Mrs. Ji smiled.

"The things that the third girl came to discuss are beneficial to the wife."

"It's a lot of worry-free for me and I don't have to worry about it."

"What are the plans for that lady?" Feng asked when she saw Mrs. Ji's thoughts.

"I am happy to repay the favors and add icing on the cake when they are like this." Mrs. Ji ordered that in the future, the monthly silver for sister Ji Xiaotang and Ji Xiaoxue will be given monthly according to Ji Xiaolian and Ji Xiaoxue. "Now it's winter, let the accountant pay for the monthly routine of the whole year, and new clothes for the New Year......Where is the old lady, no matter what the second house buys, we will pick one from us every day..."

Master Ji and Master Ji Er returned to their houses. They were very happy to know these arrangements.

"Madam, I will say that you are extremely intelligent and can handle any difficult things in your hands. I am completely relieved to entrust this matter to you. Madam is worthy of being my good friend!" Master Ji praised Mrs. Ji.

"Brother and sister-in-law are all reasonable people and need to get along well." Master Ji Er told Mrs. Ji Er, "Constrain the servants and do not cause trouble. For the old lady, you are mostly for the elder brother and sister-in-law."

"Xiaotang, you sisters must get along well, too." Master Ji Er told Ji Xiaotang again.

Ji Xiaotang nodded and agreed.

"Dad, where are you going today?" Seeing Mr. Ji Er change his clothes out of the door, Ji Xiaotang asked.

"Now that I have entered Beijing, my father wants to be an idle person, but it's not possible." Master Ji Er said with a smile, but his tone was filled with complaints. "Today I have to go to the Ministry of Personnel to submit a post, and then according to your uncle's wishes, I have to visit the Yangge Lao Mansion."

"Where is the prince?"

"I have been to the Ministry of Personnel and I will go to the prince's place to deliver the post. When the prince is free, I will take you to see you, and there are some of your uncles."

"Dad, don't forget Huai Jin."
