Chapter 169 (1/2)
Xia Chunyu looks at ye Jiayao unexpectedly. She doesn't expect that she will take the initiative to make food for her mother.
”Well, I just want to tell you about this matter. My mother is in a tight budget now. Next, she has to do Chunfeng's marriage! Since my father has promised to come down to the third uncle's house, I'm sorry to push it again. I wonder, shall we take out the money first? ”
Ye Jiayao is stunned for a moment. He even discusses with her. Er, she has no money. If she wants to take his own money, why should he discuss it with her. However, since she has asked her opinion, she will say a few words.
”It's OK to take the money, but don't say to the third uncle's house repair, say to Chunfeng married.”
Xia Chunyu thought: ”it's the same anyway.”
”That's not the same. To tell you the truth, your third uncle's family didn't do it well. How could you have brought such a little money to repair the house? If it's clear, it's your father. ”
”My father.” Xia Chunyu corrected Tao.
Ye Jiayao curled her lips and said, ”well, my father, I know that my father and brothers have a strong friendship and can't wipe away their faces. I guess they are used to it. If you are generous once, he will come again. Maybe later, we will depend on us. We are young people. We can't say anything. Don't be buried and don't know it The pit was made by ourselves. ”
Although Xia Chunyu felt that it was a little shameless to hear this, after all, it was his third uncle, but he had to admit that Yao Yao Yao's words were reasonable. Three uncles and three aunts do some things are not appropriate, every time my mother mentioned three aunts are gnashing teeth.
”OK, it's up to you. The money will be used for Chunfeng's marriage.”
Ye Jiayao sat down and said, ”how much are you going to give?”
Xia Chunyu asked, ”what do you think?”
Ye Jiayao white his one eye: ”to Chunfeng, how much I have no opinion, as long as I guarantee that part of the income on the line.”
Xia Chunyu couldn't help laughing: ”80000, tomorrow I'll ask the steward Zhao to deliver the silver note to me. Please give it to your mother!”
This is for her to be a good person! She would not refuse such a good thing.
After washing, ye Jiayao sits on the couch and looks at the roll. This is what she asked Song Qi to do. She needs to know about the people in the mansion.
There are a lot of attention here. In a big house, there are only a few masters and most of them are servants. The servants are also divided into three or six grades. For example, the sun mother beside Xia you's family does not have any duties, but no matter whether it is the master or the servant, no one will easily offend her. There are still some who seem to be unknown and irrelevant, and there are many cases of right and wrong It's from these details.
”Second young grandmother, you can only remember a name in this way. Why don't you ask sister Qiao Xi to introduce her?” Moon son does not understand to ask a way.
Ye Jiayao said leisurely, ”if you ask others about everything, you'll easily be treated as a fool. On the other hand, some people think I'm ready to take over the main task. If you want to ask, you have to ask on the point.”
The moon does not understand.
Ye Jiayao thinks that Jiang Yue is her confidant. In the future, a lot of things will depend on her. If you don't have a little ingenuity and skills, you can't do it.
”Come here, and I'll tell you about it.”
Ye Jiayao points to the opposite position and asks Jiang Yue to sit down.
”Look at the list, but what do you see?”
Jiang Yue has already learned a lot of words with ye Jiayao. After reading it for a while, she shakes her head blankly: ”I'm all dazzled. There are so many servants in the house that I can't remember.”
Ye Jiayao gave her an angry smile and explained to her, ”if we want to see, we must start from the highest. First of all, manager Zhong and his mother sun came with his wife. They are most trusted by her. We should also respect them. Moreover, director Zhong's son is in charge of the silk business in Hangzhou. ”
”If you look at the administrators of the inner and outer courtyard, Zhou Xing is in charge of the tea business of the Houfu family, and the Lin Kun family is in charge of the warehouse. Lin Kun is also in charge of the outer courtyard, and Qian Mingde is in charge of the silk business of the Houfu. Moreover, these people have been in this position for more than ten years, which shows that the personnel of the Houfu are stable. I don't want to say how capable they are Whether they are loyal or not, in the view of the lady, these people are trustworthy
”If you look at the other servants in the mansion, Qiao Xi is the granddaughter of manager Zhong. The red sleeve of the big room is the niece of Lin Kun's family. Ziming in the yard of the third young master is the son of Zhouxing family. Besides, the pearl beside aunt Wei and Ruiqiu beside aunt GUI are all daughters or relatives valued by the lady. What does that mean?” Ye Jiayao asked.
Jiang Yue thought for a moment: ”does it mean that the whole Houfu is under the control of his wife?”
Ye Jiayao nodded with satisfaction: ”yes, from this list, we can see that Madame still has a set of family management. At least, she can grasp the movements of each room in time, just like an omnipresent information network. This is only visible on the surface, and there is no arrangement in the dark. Now we don't know.”
”What's more, in the servants of the big room, except for tea sleeves, the others are brought by Qiao's own family, and the rest are second-class or third-class girls...”
Xia Chunyu has a good ear in his study in xicijian. Ye Jiayao and Jiang Yue are muttering. He hears it clearly and can't help laughing. This human spirit can't help but feel the interpersonal relationship in the mansion with a list.After reading the list, ye Jiayao decided to reuse Qiao Xi, but he had to master the proper measure.
”Yueer, how close you are to Qiao Xi, ask her what you don't know.”
Jiang Yue Leng Leng way: ”you did not say, ask to ask in the point?”
Ye Jiayao tut: ”I'm not the same as you. I'm the second young grandmother. I have to carry it. It doesn't matter to you. When you come, you are too smart, but it's not good. You have to get in touch with everyone. The deeper you blend in, the longer my ears are and the brighter my eyes are. Do you know that?”
Jiang Yue laughed: ”yue'er understands that the second young grandmother means that the moon is your eyes and ears.”
”Yes, and let your mother have more contact with the steward mothers in the house. You are the people I can really trust.” Ye Jiayao road.
