Although the palace has a large population, there are currently only three principal masters, Ye Yichen, Yulan, and Ye Minwen. But with just three masters, the complexity of the affairs of the palace has truly exceeded Yulan's expectations.

No wonder the eldest grandma sincerely hopes that the new wife will get married as soon as possible so that she can get rid of this big mess! After all, she is old, and it is really too much for her to be involved in such trivial things every day.

Yulan looked at the stacks of account books piled on the table and was a little stunned. The role of a matron in ancient times was really beyond the capabilities of ordinary people! No wonder the big families were always very cautious when marrying their legitimate sons and eldest sons. Normally,

It is impossible for a concubine to marry the legitimate son or the eldest son. Because the concubine does not have the words and deeds of the wife of the head of the house, and does not have more than a few years of training, she can learn to manage the house as soon as she comes up?

Stop dreaming!

Neither Grandma nor Hong Xiu mentioned anything about Yulan. Grandma didn't say much, she just watched with cold eyes, wanting to see what the new lady's abilities were. To be honest, she didn't really believe that the new lady could govern at such a young age.

Such a big palace.

It took her ten years of training under the prince to develop her current skills!

Of course, if Yulan had any questions that she didn't understand and wanted to ask her, she wouldn't refuse to tell her.

As for Hongxiu, she is simply waiting for the new lady to make a fool of herself in front of the servants.

Yu Lan was slightly excited when faced with this complicated matter. During the past few years in ancient times, she had been subtly influenced and almost turned into a lady who never left the house. Now she finally finally

I have found a little bit of the feeling I had when I was a sales director in my previous life.

praise!

Grandma and Hong Xiu watched in shock as Yulan handed over each item, including the kitchen, sewing room, various gardens, access control, purchasing... There are so many things. Grandma will give a brief introduction to them.

After getting the account book and recruiting people to come over and verify it, Yulan just asked a few questions, each of which went straight to the core.

Others were just a little bit exposed, but she didn't even need to be a little bit exposed. It took only a moment for the aunt to look at her with admiration, and after a while, she was a little shocked.

The new lady looked very polite and elegant, and her overall view and ability to do things were simply more sophisticated than the old lady who had lived for half her life. In the end, the eldest grandma admired Yulan so much that she was in admiration.

Hongxiu's face became very ugly. I originally thought that she was young and ignorant, and she had to rely more on herself as a housekeeper. Now, see, why is she needed?

They were busy here, so Qian’s mother brought up tea cups with Xiaofeng and Xiaoying, and brought them up one by one. Yulan smiled and said: “After a long day of work, let’s take a rest! This is the prince’s reward.

Give me the best Biluochun, and Grandma and Red Sleeve Girl should also try it!"

The eldest grandma then said: "Madam, if you are tired, just come here today. Anyway, this handover cannot be completed in one day. This is not a particularly urgent matter!" The attitude was much more respectful than before.

Yu Lan looked at the sky and asked Qian's mother: "What time is it?"

Mother Qian said: "It's three o'clock in the morning!"

Yu Lan thought for a while and realized that Grandma was right. This kind of thing cannot be done in a day or two. There is indeed no need to rush it. Besides, taking care of her husband is the foundation for a wife to live a happy life. She then said: "You are right,

How about we stop here today."

Grandma and Hong Xiu immediately stood up, and Hong Xiu said: "Madam, please go back, it is enough for the maids to clean up here! I will supervise the little girls to send them back to the accounting room, and then move them out to Madam tomorrow!"

Yu Lan glanced at her with a smile and said, "Don't bother me!" She greeted Qian's mother and said, "Mom, ask a few people to move all these account books to our main courtyard. I want to take a closer look at them tonight." That's absolutely true.

She acted like the matron of the house, without being polite at all.

Hongxiu said rejection for the first time this afternoon, and immediately lost her composure. But the identity of the new lady was there, so what could she do, so she had to lower her head and agree: "Yes!"

Yu Lan secretly sneered in her heart. She is not the type who is jealous and completely intolerant. It's just that this Hong Xiu obviously gave her the "non-violent non-cooperation" one afternoon. Not only was she passive and sabotaged, she was also not good at her.

She was very respectful, and Yulan reciprocated the favor, so of course she had to give her a beating.

Yu Lan added: "There is one more thing I want to trouble Miss Hongxiu. I want you to find all the gift lists from my house this year and bring them to me tomorrow!"

Stewarding the house and governing the house is only one of the responsibilities of the matron of the house. The more important thing is of course to have children. In addition, an official wife of Yulan's status also has another important responsibility, which is to go out and socialize. Some news from the DPRK. Men

If it is not convenient to exchange, the wives of the back house are usually contacted. This can be regarded as an unspoken rule in the entire wealthy circle.

Although Grandma and Hongxiu can help the prince with the housekeeping, they cannot go out to socialize. Therefore, when Yulan takes over the housework, no one can fault her at all.

Yu Lan had just entered the house, and already many ladies and grannies had written messages, wanting to come and visit. If he wanted to get close to any lady, of course he had to follow the men outside. If he had a good relationship with the prince, Yulan would naturally want to

Yulan should also stay away from anyone who is interested in making friends and is not on the same page as the prince.

So Yulan had an idea today and wanted to take a closer look at this year's gift list. Through the thickness of the gifts, you can know to some extent the distance between the prince, the royal family, and the important ministers. If the important relationship is good, Ye Yichen will naturally tell

Yulan, if you ask Ye Yichen about all these trivial matters, he will definitely be impatient based on his temperament.

But Hongxiu couldn't understand it for a moment: "Madam, it's out of season, why do you want a gift list?"

Yulan frowned after hearing this. Before she could say anything, she heard someone on the side sneer: "Just do whatever the madam asks you to do. Is it possible that you can reject it even with a small intercourse?"

Madam, what's wrong? Your Majesty just asked you to take care of the housework for a few days, and you are so lawless?" It was Xiaofeng who followed Qian's mother. Her voice was not loud, but it was just enough for everyone to hear.

She was rewarded by the eldest wife, so of course she couldn't gain Yulan's trust after only a few days. It was the time when she wanted to show off.

Grandma's face darkened, and she shouted to Hong Xiu: "Are you awake or something? You have even forgotten the most basic etiquette, and you still don't kowtow to Madam to apologize!" Hong Xiu said that this matter is serious.

Offending the master was indeed a serious matter. After spending many days with her, the eldest grandma finally had some dignity and helped Hongxiu, so that she would not be punished for disturbing the situation.

After all, Hongxiu was not stupid. She knelt down immediately and said, "I've been obsessed with you today. Please give me a lot, Madam. Please don't argue with me." She kowtowed.

Yulan waited for her to finish kowtowing, and then said leisurely: "You are an old man in the palace, and you have been serving in front of the prince. The prince also said that you are a considerate and considerate person. But because of this, you should always be vigilant. You must not

Because the master gave you grace and dignity, you forgot your duty. I originally wanted you to give it to the government.

My servants have set a good example, but now I see that you have disappointed me! Whatever, it’s your first offense today, and I won’t punish you! I just want to keep it in mind for you, let’s keep our ugly words to ourselves, and if you do it again in the future, it will be on me

In his hands, I will only have to punish you heavily!" Yu Lan glanced at Auntie: "Aunty, did I handle it correctly?"

The eldest grandma lowered her head slightly: "It couldn't be more appropriate! The old lady can finally rest assured. After the government affairs are handed over, I can return to my hometown to live my life, and the people and things in this house will have nothing to do with me anymore.

." Grandma felt a little cold in her heart. Yu Lan was expressing her dissatisfaction with her for standing beside Hongxiu.

The eldest grandma also expressed her position at the right time: I just wanted to help out for the sake of my many years of working together. I will leave soon. It has nothing to do with me who they love.

Yu Lan smiled and said: "Your Majesty and I are reluctant to let you go!" He stepped forward in person and helped the eldest sister out of Jiaqing Hall with affection and affection.

The atmosphere was tense for a moment. The red-sleeved lady behind her slowly stood up, her face gloomy. But no one looked at her again. She originally wanted to create some difficulties for the new lady today and establish her incompetence and cowardice in front of the servants.

The image will be easy to control in the future

After the eldest nanny left, she still had to manage the internal affairs of the palace through herself. Who knew that in the end, she was the one who got the short end of the stick. Although Yulan didn't punish her, her kneeling down not only hit her

It extinguished her arrogance and established her prestige in front of her servants.

Take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it to accomplish something! How can this new lady be so capable at such a young age?

After leaving Jiaqing Hall, Qian's mother supported Yulan and walked toward the main courtyard. Xiaofeng and Xiaoying followed, and several little girls followed behind holding account books. Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu returned to the main courtyard first.

Mother Qian said: "This Hongxiu is not a trouble-maker!"

Seeing the worried look on Qian's mother's face, Yulan couldn't help but smile and said, "Mom, don't panic, she is just a girl with a common room, how can she get past me, the mistress! If she is safe and sound, I won't care.

It will embarrass her. But if she dares to cause trouble again, I will use my mistress' money to punish her severely!"

Returning to the main courtyard to go to bed, Ye Yichen hadn't come back yet. Yulan went to the bedroom, asked the girls to serve and changed into a pair of loose lake blue plain clothes, and asked Qian's mother to remove all the hairpin rings, and just pulled her hair up casually.

Since then, I have refused to wear any jewelry again.

Qian's mother was secretly worried. She was just newly married and Yu Lan was dressed so plainly. Is this really okay? She gave some tactful advice, but Yu Lan smiled and said, "Don't bother me, Mom, I have my own plan."

The so-called obedience to the husband when married, Yulan married Ye Yichen, then Ye Yichen is her heaven. Yulan can please him, but she is not willing to completely lose herself for Ye Yichen. Within the scope of possibility, she still hopes that she can live a good life.

Free, relaxed and happy.

When Ye Yichen didn't come back, Yu Lan took an account book and started reading it.

After a while, Ye Yichen sent a boy in, saying that the prince was meeting guests and would be back later. Yulan sent Xiaofeng to the kitchen to inform them, telling them to cook the food slower.

She flipped through the account books one by one, and time passed slowly. Soon the time passed by Youzheng, Ye Yichen hadn't come back yet, and Yulan was feeling a little hungry.

At this time, Xiaoyu came in with a plate of snacks and said: "Eunuch Zhang from the kitchen heard that you haven't eaten yet, so he specially brought some snacks. I thought Madam must be hungry, so I brought them to you.

Use some first."

Yulan nodded. The small kitchen used to cook for Ye Yichen and Yulan was all used by the royal chefs in the palace. Those who could make a name for themselves in the palace were all human sperm. As expected, they were used to fawning. Yulan asked Xiaoyue to put down the plate.

, I ate a piece of walnut cake and a piece of jujube cake. I thought I would eat it with Ye Yichen later, so I just padded it a little. I didn’t eat much.

Xiaoyu put down the plate but didn't go out. Yulan asked her with a smile: "Is there anything else?"

Xiaoyu lowered her voice and said, "Mama Li is here! I have been waiting for you for half an afternoon!"

Yulan was slightly startled: "Who is Mother Li?" She also met a few stewards this afternoon, but not many, and there was no one named Mother Li.

Xiaoyu explained: "She is in charge of the punishment in the mansion."

Yu Lan became interested as soon as she heard this. It was obviously related to Qi's family. Mother Li was willing to come to see her at this time. It must be that Qi family accepted the punishment obediently. Mother Li wanted to use this excuse to show off to the new wife.

Keep your face and stand out so that you can be put to good use by your new wife in the future.

Yu Lan asked, "But has Qi Concubine finished her work?"

Xiaoyu said: "It's done! After the prince gave his instructions in the morning, the concubine asked the concubine to send the young master back to the courtyard, and then went to see Mother Li to receive the punishment. Mother Li also recorded it in the record as you requested. Do you want to meet me?

she?"

Yulan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know when the prince will come back. Let's forget it today. You tell her to go back first. I won't be too late to see her again someday."

Xiaoyu thought for a while: "She just brought the stall here, do you want to see it?"

Yulan asked: "Have you seen it?"

"Have seen it!"
