Chapter 261 The Mistress
Thinking that she would be the daughter-in-law of the Shen family in the future, Lu Jia naturally did some research on this father-in-law before leaving the cabinet. Everyone's impression of Shen Bo, including Lu Jia, felt that he was a man who knew how to protect himself wisely. A veteran in officialdom, since he protects himself wisely, he will naturally not show off his talents easily, so even though Lu Jia has never seen him, he is not too afraid.
I didn’t expect that he was so generous with the greeting gift before, but then he was about to leave but he came like this!
Careless.
Realizing that Shen Qingzhou was trying to come out behind her, she quickly blocked her: "Daughter-in-law, remember, father, walk slowly."
Shen Bo glanced at them both and then stepped out.
When Lu Jia turned around, she saw Shen Qingzhou's face was cold. She hurriedly stretched out her hands to rub it and pulled him out. On the way, she met Shen Zhui, who was looking at the two of them stupidly. She glanced over and said, "What else are you looking at? Have you done your homework? Have you practiced your fists and kicks?" Shen Zhui ran away in a hurry.
After leaving the main courtyard and passing by the small garden, Shen Qingzhou complained: "Why didn't you let me talk just now?"
Lu Jia said "Hey": "If you think about it from another angle, what he said is right. If this kind of thing is placed on you and me, it might be even worse, so why should you take it to heart?"
"But he did this to you..."
"What's the point?" Lu Jia spread his hands, "As the saying goes, time changes people's hearts. Who told us to get married under such circumstances? This kind of thing cannot be rushed."
To her, it didn't matter if Shen Bo was ten times harsher, because he was by no means a member of the Yan family and had a bottom line no matter what he did.
Where is it like when she was at the Yan family?
From top to bottom in the Yan family, who has ever regarded her as a human being?
Lu Jia is content.
Shen Qingzhou looked at her for a moment, reached out to touch her hair, and then led him to the room: "I'll give you the family's account book..."
He knew that his father's attitude towards Jiajia was really rude, but he also knew that what she said made sense. In the current situation, it was useless to argue. He could only let his father see the true character of this daughter-in-law who had been "forced" into her life as soon as possible. , the problem will be solved easily.
……
The newlyweds returned home on their third day out of the palace. Lu Jia still had some time to adapt in the past two days. After receiving the account books, she immediately called several housekeepers and housekeepers at home to meet them.
Since Shen Qingzhou has been the head of the family for many years, the people and affairs of the Shen family are much simpler and clearer than those of the Lu family. From top to bottom, except for those closest to Shen Bo, almost all of them are Shen Qingzhou's supporters.
It seems that they have long known from some channel how important the new young mistress is in the eyes of the eldest son. As soon as they met in front of the hall, everyone knelt down in a serious and upright manner. After finishing, they took the initiative to discuss various affairs with a smile. Let’s talk in turn.
This kind of thoughtfulness is not much different from the people Lu Jia brought himself.
Lu Jia felt very happy. In the face of foreign enemies, his own people were most afraid of not being united. With such an iron-clad group of people, it's no wonder that the Yan family has been unable to break into the Shen family for a long time, and even had to come up with such a bad idea to let Lu Jialai be the spy.
"I have discussed it with the eldest son. In order to avoid being in a hurry when I first come here, who was in charge of the shops and farms in the house in the past will still be responsible in the future. You can just go back to the eldest son.
"The internal affairs of the house, as well as the human relations with clients, all come to me. In addition, because we have not had a mistress in the house for many years, we have almost no contact with the officials and their families, and I rarely went out to socialize before I left the cabinet. Because there is one more thing to add. In the future, if there is any quarrel between the families, we will have to go back and forth, so that I will not know everything when I go out to make friends. "
After the housekeepers agreed, the ladies in charge also responded in unison: "Please rest assured, young lady, we all used to follow my wife, we still remember the rules, and we will never make mistakes." Lu Jia nodded: "That's very good. . Please take care of yourself in the future. ”
After saying that, she asked Qing He to bring the reward money, promised them a large reward one by one, and called everyone who had been brought from the Lu family to come. Everyone had met each other.
Li Sanniang, the stewardess in charge of the large kitchen, saw the grandeur of Qinghe and Dawn Zhimu, and immediately said: "Young Mistress is really good at training. These few look no weaker than the attendants in the princess's house that I have seen."
Lu Jia and the others looked at each other and smiled: "Sanniang has good eyesight." But there was no need to tell her the details.
Here we chatted for a while, and we quickly became familiar with each other.
After a while, everyone retreated. While Li Sanniang took Mingxiao Zhimu to inspect the big kitchen, Lu Jia asked Qinghe to bring Xie Yi and Li Chang over.
The two people arrived at the Shen family one day before the sedan chair. Shen Qingzhou had already asked someone to separate a two-indoor courtyard on the East Road for them to live in. As long as they walked through a small garden, they could reach the Haitang Pavilion where Lu Jia was the daily director. .
Xie Yi is fourteen years old, and Li Chang is already fifteen. Since the problem of eating has been solved, both of them have moved forward and become adults.
"Greetings to the eldest mistress."
They both bowed briefly.
Lu Jia said: "Is your skin itchy?"
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
The two of them quickly calmed down and said no more.
Lu Jia handed over the positions of his ten dowry shops to the two of them: "Both of you will be the shopkeepers, and each will take charge of five shops. You two will discuss the matters regarding the shops. If you can't make a decision, you will come back to me.
< br>
"There is no need to take care of it every day. I have already visited and found that the shop is operating normally and only needs regular care.
"For the rest of the time, you stay in the house and read more. Mr. Song, the eldest son, is a learned man and has seen a lot. You can ask him for advice when you have nothing to do. The most important thing is to learn from him. How to deal with things, follow him to open your eyes
"Father asked you two to follow me. I can't delay you. So you can't set your sights on a few shops."
The two looked at each other and took the order seriously: "Master Shangshu has taught us both before we came here. We will all obey the orders of the eldest sister."
Lu Jia raised his eyebrows and picked up the thick gift list on the side: "The first thing is, you two should take care of my return to Ning the day after tomorrow.
"I heard that not only people from the Lu family will be present at the Guining banquet, but also relatives. Maybe my father will also invite some close friends. In short, there are many people. I am going back this time in the name of the Shen family. You also know that Tai Mr. Wei still has a prejudice against me, which is not good for us, so we can’t make any mistakes.”
The two of them took the gift list with four hands, and after looking at it carefully for two times, they immediately said: "There will also be people coming from the Yan Mansion?"
Lu Jia picked up the cup and glanced at them: "They are my sister's husband's family. With such a close relationship, how come no one comes?"
Not only will people come, but they will definitely not be ordinary people!
