Chapter 668: To the Master
Not long after, Pei Zhizhi walked quickly to Lu Qing's room and married a wife, Pei Zhizhi gradually lost the youthful temperament of a girl and became a bright and beautiful young lady, but she was young after all, full of dynamic youthful vitality.
"Is the eldest sister looking for me?" Pei Zhizhi asked with a smile.
Her arrival suddenly made the originally somewhat dull room come alive, Lu Qing was infected by it, and hurriedly asked the maid to help him sit up and smiled: "Sit down and let's talk." β
Pei Zhizhi sat down, and Lu Qing said: "The last time I gave birth to Ting'er, it was Wu Niang who took care of the housework for me, and now that Wu Niang has also given birth to a child, the family is in chaos, and I can't do anything in a hurry." β
"Isn't the third sister doing a good job? Although everyone is very busy, it is not chaotic, and the eldest sister does not have to worry. β
"She's too busy, I want you to share a little bit for her, do you think it's okay?"
Pei Zhizhi laughed, "What's wrong with this, the eldest sister just commands." β
Lu Qing liked Pei Zhizhi's cheerfulness, she took Pei Zhizhi's hand and said: "There are ministers and family members who come to congratulate every day these days, your third sister is not good at socializing, it really makes her embarrassed, you receive visitors for her, in addition, you can also take care of the affairs in the house!" You can do it yourself, ask the housekeeper more, if you really don't know, you can come and ask me. β
"Sister, don't worry! I'll do my best to do a good job. β
Lu Qing nodded, and pointed to a copper box on the table next to him, "That is our family's money box, there are three kinds of jade cards in it, red means five hundred, yellow is one hundred, white is ten, what do you want to do, a few housekeepers will report to you, if you think there is no problem, give them the jade according to the amount of money." They go to the account office to withdraw money, and finally the account office will hand over the account sheet for you to review, in fact, it is very simple, you will know it when you do it. β
Speaking of this, Lu Qing also felt very tired, so he said: "The money box is the key. I won't explain anything else, you decide for yourself. β
Pei Zhizhi also felt the tiredness of the eldest sister, so he patted the back of her hand and said, "Eldest sister, take a good rest!" I'm going to get busy. β
She got up and saluted, and went out with the money box, Lu Qing felt tired, slowly closed her eyes, and the maids hurriedly helped her lie down, covered the futon, and lowered the curtains. The brazier was brought out, and the room fell silent
Pei Zhizhi went to find Xinyu again, Xinyu explained to her, and Pei Zhizhi took office and temporarily became the hostess of the family on behalf of Lu Qing.
In the middle hall, several housekeepers reported to Lu Zhizhi a bunch of cumbersome things that needed to be solved in the house.
Steward Wu said: "Now the top priority is to distribute the happy money, according to the custom, the children in the family should give the next person a reward to celebrate." It's called happy money, and in addition, you have to give each neighbor a cake ball and red eggs. There are probably hundreds of families, and if they have children in the family, they still have to give a little money, which should have been distributed within three days of the birth of the child, but it has not been released to this day. β
Pei Zhizhi frowned, "Why didn't it be distributed?" β
"The main reason is that the amount can't be set, and the third lady said that she wants to ask the princess. But the princess was unwell in these two days, so it was delayed. β
Pei Zhizhi thought for a while and asked, "How much did the son of the world give when he was born?" β
"Each person in the house has three yuan of money, regardless of dignity and inferiority, and according to local customs, five red eggs per household. Two catties of cake balls, the child will give 100 yuan, if the fourth lady thinks it is okay, we can also distribute it according to the standard last time. β
Pei Zhizhi pondered for a moment and said, "It's according to the standard last time, but this time it's a double portion!" β
Several housekeepers looked at each other, and Steward Wu said cautiously: "Fourth lady, although they are two children, but last time they were the son of the world after all, this time the princess gave birth to a daughter, and the son was born to the second lady, if you give double copies according to the standard last time, isn't it a little"
Pei Zhizhi's face sank, "They are all the children of generals, why favor one over the other?" Just do what I say! β
Another housekeeper Liu said, "Do you want to ask the princess again?" β
'Smack! β
Pei Zhizhi slapped the table heavily, and said with an angry face: "Now I am in charge of the house, if you don't want to obey, then pack up the quilt and leave, and I will hire another housekeeper!" β
Several housekeepers were frightened, and hurriedly said, "Madame, let's do it!" β
Several housekeepers hurriedly saluted and went out, and when they walked out of the door, they all stuck out their tongues, this fourth lady is much more powerful than the third lady, you have to be careful to do things, and several people hurriedly went separately to prepare.
Pei Zhizhi listened to the report of the account room again, and more than half an hour passed unconsciously, when a maid came to report: "Fourth lady, there is a guest to congratulate, she is the daughter of Su Xiangguo." β
The maid presented a letter of worship, Pei Zhizhi heard the eldest sister say that when she married the general, Su Xiangguo's daughter Su Erniang did it for them, and she also knew that Su Xiangguo's wife had passed away and needed her family to show up, and her daughter did it, this Su Erniang actually came to congratulate Su Xiangguo on behalf of Su Xiangguo, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted her.
If Xin Yu doesn't know much about the etiquette of the Han people because she was born in the grassland, then Pei Zhizhi is everyone's lady, and she is much better than Xin Yu in dealing with people.
Pei Zhizhi greeted him to the front yard, Su Erniang was already waiting in front of the shadow wall, Pei Zhizhi stepped forward and said with a smile: "Welcome Miss Su to the mansion!" β
"You'reβ"
Su Erlou saw that the other party looked extremely young and beautiful, her heart moved, and suddenly who was the other party, "Are you Zhizhi?" β
"Little sister is exact, welcome Sister Su to be a guest."
Su Erniang is almost forty years old, but she is called a sister by a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, she is really useful to hear, so she stepped forward to hold her hand and smiled: "I have heard that the fourth lady of His Royal Highness King Qi is as beautiful as a fairy, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation." β
"My sister has won the award, compared to my sister's beauty, my little sister is really ashamed of herself."
Su Erniang was also extremely beautiful when she was young, although she is now a, but she is still very conceited in her heart, she saw that Pei Zhizhi said very sincerely, and her heart was even more happy, and she couldn't help but smile and took out a gift slip and said: "I am here to congratulate you, and I have a little gift to prepare a small gift, and I hope to smile and accept." β
"Eldest sister is too polite, please come with me to the inner house to sit down."
"Then bother."
Pei Zhizhi took Su Erniang to the inner house with a smile and a smile.
"How is the princess doing?"
"The eldest sister is a little weaker and needs to rest more, so she can't receive her sister, so she has to let the younger sister do it for her, please forgive us for not being well entertained."
"Where! Where! I'm the one who bothered you. β
Half a month passed quickly, and on this morning, Pei Zhizhi was thinking about arranging the New Year in the inner hall, when suddenly a maid came to report, "Fourth lady, the prince is back." β
Pei Zhizhi stood up suddenly, couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly walked outside the gate of the mansion, just took a few steps, and hurriedly said to several maids: "You go and tell the princess and the second lady and the third lady, and say that the prince is back." β
The maid hurriedly agreed, and Pei Zhizhi came to the door of the house quickly, only to see that her husband was instructing several family members to install lanterns, she was happy in her heart, and hurriedly greeted her.
As soon as Zhang Xuan arrived at the door of his house, he saw several family members building ladders to install big lanterns, and he remembered that it was less than a month before the New Year, and he felt a little sorry for his family.
At this time, Zhang Xuan heard the footsteps, and when he turned around, he saw Zhizhi standing not far behind him, a pair of beautiful eyes flashing with joy, and a little bit of the shyness of a little woman, Zhang Xuan's heart was hot, and he stepped forward and smiled: "I almost forgot, there is less than a month before the New Year, fortunately I came back in time." β
Pei Zhizhi smiled, "The general can still find a home, which is beyond our expectations." β
"Are you making fun of me?"
Zhang Xuan walked home with a smile, and Bae Zhizhi walked side by side with him, and asked with a smile: "Go to see the children first, or see the wife first?" β
"I'm really a little tired, so I'll go to the study for a cup of tea and catch my breath before I go to see my children and wife."
"I'll go serve tea to my husband."
Zhang Xuan returned to his study, took off his coat, and only felt that warmth was pouring into his heart from all directions, giving him a sense of ease and comfort that he had never felt before, and the feeling of home was so beautiful.
At this time, Pei Zhizhi walked into the study with tea, and saw that her husband had taken off her coat, and said apologetically: "I also said that I helped my husband take off my coat first, but my husband took it off himself." β
Zhang Xuan smiled, put the tea bowl on the table, and hugged his wife in his arms, Pei Zhizhi was in a stirred mood, and involuntarily hugged her husband's neck and kissed him deeply
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside, which frightened Pei Zhizhi and hurriedly broke free from her husband, tidied up her messy skirt, and Lixiang's voice came from outside, "Fourth lady, princess, please come over." β
"Got it, I'll go."
Pei Zhizhi lowered his head and kissed her husband on the lips, and whispered in his ear: "I will serve my husband well at night!" β
She threw a wink at her husband, turned around and walked away quickly, Zhang Xuan sat on the soft couch, only to feel relaxed, and all the troubles were thrown away by him at this moment. (To be continued.) )
