After promoting Fan Lie to become another steward of Zhuangzi, Chen Yu stopped caring about other things. After planting less than an acre of land with Yan Long, she asked Fan Lie to arrange for someone to watch her land.
, she packed her things and returned to the city with Yan Lizhou and the others.
Although I was quite happy during the few days I spent playing on Zhuangzi, I was also quite tired. I either had to go to the fields or go out to climb mountains, hunt, etc. every day, which was very tiring.
After returning to Prince Ning's Mansion, Chen Yu began to make a fool of herself. As a princess, she needed to manage the affairs of the family, but Chen Yu couldn't handle everything. She planned to take care of half of it herself, Yan Lizhou.
half.
Prince Ning's Mansion is also Yan Lizhou's home, why does she need to take care of Yan Lizhou? She has never thought about completely controlling Prince Ning's Mansion, and even if she really takes care of all the affairs of the Prince's Mansion, she still cannot completely control the Prince's Mansion, so why should she?
What about hard work?
So Chen Xun and Yan Lizhou discussed that she could take care of the house and handle the accounts, but she couldn't take care of everything, and Yan Lizhou had to take care of half of it.
"Since ancient times, the mistress has been the housekeeper." Yan Lizhou said helplessly as he looked at Chen Xun who was negotiating with him.
"Then let's start with this princess and let the male master take care of half of it." Chen Xun shrugged and said, "I don't own this family, so why should I take care of it all? As the real master of this family,
Just don’t care?”
"That's it for now. I am the only one in the backyard of the prince's palace. I only need to take care of the arrangements among the servants and some of the properties in the palace that I can manage. In the future, there will be new people in the prince's backyard, concubine.
There are more and more aunts and concubines, but I will not care about them."
She really didn't care whether Yan Lizhou had concubines or concubines, but she couldn't have worked so hard to help Yan Lizhou raise the children of his concubines and concubines, so she wasn't that great.
Yan Lizhou looked at her serious look. Although her statement did challenge the ancient rules, he did not argue with her.
Yan Lizhou can still understand her mood. Even though he is a man and stands on the side of vested interests, he still understands Chen Yun's thoughts.
Just like when he was young, didn't he envy and envy the eldest brother? Don't he envy the fifth and tenth brothers who were the direct descendants of the queen?
He knew this feeling very well, so he did not force her to be tolerant and generous, insisting that she care about concubines, aunts, concubines and concubines.
"Okay, I will handle half of it." Yan Lizhou compromised, and did not say that he was helping her. After all, not all the matters in the palace were her responsibility, he was also responsible, so he handled half of the matter to help himself, not to help her.
she.
After getting his answer, Chen Yu smiled with satisfaction, and then discussed with Yan Lizhou how to divide the work between them, what things she handled, what things Yan Lizhou handled, etc.
For example, Yan Lizhou needs to take care of the servants' scheduling and monetary rewards and punishments in the mansion; Chen Xun also has to take care of things in the kitchen, as well as the servants' clothes, monthly money and other matters.
Anyway, the general affairs of the palace are really troublesome. As the mistress, Chen Yu needs to take care of it. Otherwise, if she really doesn't care about anything, others will think that she, the princess, has no majesty and can be bullied.
Chen Xun and Yan Lizhou also handled half of the Duke's property respectively. As for their own private property, they took care of it themselves and could not share it with the other party.
After discussing the matter, Chen Xun left with satisfaction. She was satisfied that she only had to deal with half of the things in the future.
If she were to take care of everything in the whole family like other people's mistresses, she would definitely go crazy. She would have no freedom or private space at all. It would be really terrible.
Fortunately, Yan Lizhou is easy to talk to, and the current population of the palace is also very simple, so she doesn't have much to do.
