After Lin Zhixiao accepted Jia Ke's arrangement, he just returned to the small room where he usually dealt with affairs when he ran into Zhou Rui's family.
Lin Zhixiao saw her coming over in a hurry and asked: "From Zhou Rui's family, could it be that there is something wrong with Madam?"
"Steward Lin, my wife sent me an errand today, asking me to fill in all the people in the uncle's house next door. The uncle will move there in a day or two." Zhou Rui's family said straight to the point.
Lin Zhixiao heard that he was arranging manpower for Jia Ke's house, so he did not dare to neglect, and immediately invited Zhou Rui's family to come in and let her sit down.
He took out the roster from the box, handed it to Zhou Rui's family, and told her: "You must be careful when choosing people this time. Uncle, your current identity is different from before. Don't let the uncle find fault, we will all be angry when the uncle is angry."
I can’t eat and walk around.”
Lin Zhixiao knew that Zhou Rui's family was Mrs. Wang's confidant, so he gave special instructions. He was afraid that he would cause trouble and send some crooked melons and cracked dates to Jia Ke's house.
"I said Butler Lin, you don't think I'm really stupid. I don't know what's light and what's serious. Just keep it in your heart. This time, I will send all the best in the house to the uncle's house.
Go up." Zhou Rui's family thought that the instructions to Lin Zhixiao were unnecessary.
Lin Zhixiao was very satisfied with the reaction of Zhou Rui's family. No matter who she was, as long as she knew the importance, it would be fine.
"It's good that you know the importance. Take the book back and choose carefully. Say hello to the person you've chosen. I have other things to do here." Lin Zhixiu was sending Zhou Rui's family away. He didn't want to be with him.
Zhou Rui's family has a lot of contacts. If the uncle finds out that he has a close relationship with Mrs. Wang, wouldn't this make him lose his value in the eyes of the uncle?
The Zhou Rui family didn't want to waste time with Lin Zhixiao. There were still many things to do today. In addition to picking people, they also had to clean up a few houses for the uncle.
So Zhou Rui's family walked to their home with the roster in hand, thinking that they would select the personnel this morning and have them go to Wuyang Marquis Mansion to clean the room in the afternoon. Even if they don't sleep tonight, they have to clean the house.
Zhou Rui's family had just entered the house and asked the maid to bring her tea. Before she could drink it, a group of people came to the door. These people were all using the back door to build relationships. They didn't know where they knew that the people sent to Jia Ke's house were from Zhou Rui's family.
She was responsible. So they all came to her house to intercede.
Zhou Rui's family is determined to get things done this time so that they can show their face in front of Jia Ke and have a face to talk to Jia Ke in the future, so they have made up their minds not to talk favors with them this time.
However, Zhou Rui's family is also a good person, so you shouldn't offend these people too much, otherwise you will be tricked by someone somewhere in the future.
So Zhou Rui's family asked all these people to come into the house, and then ordered the little maid to bring tea. After that, Zhou Rui's family sat on the main seat and said: "I understand what everyone means, but this time is different.
In the past, the old lady watched too closely from above, so I’m afraid the choice this time won’t be the same as before.”
"What do you mean by Zhou Rui's family? You know my girl. She is so handsome that she can be a personal maid for the uncle. You forgot what you promised me a few days ago."
Zhou Rui's family felt a little tired when they saw this person. It was just a casual remark. Since she had remembered it for so long, who didn't know that the girl in his family was indeed good-looking and somewhat pretty. But she raised him
Just like a young lady, if she lets such a person go to the uncle's room, should she let the uncle serve her, or should she serve the uncle?
So Zhou Rui's family said with a straight face: "I promised you to go to the mansion to work, but I didn't say that I promised you to go to the Wuyang Marquis Mansion. Don't be anxious about your affairs. I will naturally arrange one for you after a while."
Next, the group of people gathered around Zhou Rui's family and said all kinds of good things, and some people secretly stuffed their red envelopes into Zhou Rui's family's arms.
But this time Zhou Rui's family became a good example of integrity and turned a blind eye to these bribes. In the end, none of these people got the job done.
When these people left, all of them looked bad. Originally, they all had a good relationship with Zhou Rui's family. They thought that with this relationship, they could send their relatives and children to Wuyang Hou Mansion to work as errands. Unexpectedly, Zhou Rui's family turned soft this time.
She refused to take it, and she took out all the money that was put to her lips. If we hadn't worked together for so many years, everyone would have thought that this was another person.
After Zhou Rui's family sent these people away, they opened the roster and sorted it out carefully. Especially Jia Ke's personal maids, who should not only be beautiful but also know how to serve people. These people are indeed difficult to find, but what else does Jia Ke have?
There is a shortage of all, but there is no shortage of beautiful maids. I don’t know why, but the quality of the maids in the Jia Mansion is one of the best in the capital. Many beautiful maids that others can’t choose have come to this place in the Rongguo Mansion.
In the big threshold.
Moreover, there is a way to select people, and it must be clear who should be selected and who should not be selected. For example, Jia Ke's aunt Chun Cao and her mother are still helping in the kitchen, such people must be selected.
Then there is Lin Zhixiao's daughter Xiaohong. Although she is not particularly handsome, Lin Zhixiao has an unusual relationship with Jia Ke, so he has to give her some face. There are also several nuns in the old lady's room.
Human relationships must also be taken into consideration.
Zhou Rui's family was thinking hard in the room when they suddenly heard the little maid outside shouting: "Miss, you are back. Madam is in the room." Zhou Rui's family was thinking about the relationships between various people, so they did not pay attention to their daughter.
The daughter of Zhou Rui's family has just been married for a few years, and her home is near Rongguo Mansion, so she often comes back for a visit. Her husband's antique business still needs the Rongguo Mansion to support it, otherwise all kinds of people from all over the capital will wait.
Her family had long since been eaten to the bone.
Speaking of which, in Dream of Red Mansions, the daughter of Zhou Rui's family is one of the few people who can die a good death. It can be said that her life is very good.
The daughter of Zhou Rui's family, named Zhou Qian, had been pampered since she was a child. After she got married, her husband's family tolerated her in every possible way because of Zhou Rui's power in the Jia family, so she lived a very leisurely life.
After Zhou Qian entered the door, she saw her mother flipping through some book on the table. So she went over and stood behind her and took a look. There were names of various people on them. They were listed according to each household, in an orderly manner.
Preface. The population of this volume is no more than a thousand, but her mother was flipping through the pages with her eyes fixed on it, as if she hadn't seen her.
So the daughter of Zhou Rui's family said coquettishly to her mother: "Mom, what are you looking at these things for? Talk to me. I've been back for a while, but you ignored me."
"Okay, you go sit in the next room first. If you want to eat, let the little girl prepare it for you. I will come to you after I finish these things." Zhou Rui's family did not talk to their daughter as patiently as usual today.
I haven't raised my head yet.
Zhou Qian grew up in the pampering of her parents, and was no worse than the ladies in the house. How could she be so angry? So she grabbed the roster in a fit of anger and threw it aside.
"Ouch, my little ancestor, what are you doing?" Zhou Rui's family hurried over, picked up the booklet again, and complained to her: "It's your father and I who have spoiled you so much. Whenever something doesn't go well with you, you will express your anger."
The young lady has a bad temper, but I'm afraid you won't be able to survive."
"What's the matter? I don't think I'm any worse than the ladies in the mansion. I haven't thought about the days they lived." Zhou Qian always thought that she was no worse than the ladies in the mansion.
Zhou Rui's family didn't let her go this time. After hearing her words, she immediately straightened her face and said, "Shut up. If you said these words before, I would pretend that I didn't hear you. But from now on, if you say this again,
If I say these stupid things, don't come back."
As soon as Zhou Qian heard her mother's harsh words, she burst into tears and immediately crawled onto the soft couch next to her and started sobbing.
Although Zhou Rui's family said harsh words to their daughter, they softened their hearts when they saw her crying like this. After all, she had been pampered and raised by her since she was a child. How could she not feel sorry for her?
So he went over to sit on the soft couch, patted her back gently, and persuaded her: "Okay, okay, it's my mother's fault. I shouldn't have said such things to you just now, why don't you apologize to me?"
"
"You...what on earth do you mean? You were like this just after I came back." Zhou Qian said while sobbing.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. I just said a few words to you. You really haven't suffered any grievances since you were a child. You have to be careful about what you say and do when you come to this house from now on. This house is different from before.
It's different. If others get hold of it, I can't save you." Although Zhou Rui's family said soft words to her, they still couldn't help but tell her. They were really afraid that she would say something outrageous and offend the gossips in the house.
The old lady heard this, and if the higher-ups found out, she would not spare them even if Mrs. Wang was protecting them.
"Mom, you were not like this before. Why are you so cautious now?" Zhou Qian was also a little confused about her mother's current changes.
Zhou Rui's family looked at her disdainfully, and then said to her: "How do you, a small family like you, know? Our Rongguo Mansion is different from the past."
Zhou Qian asked in confusion: "Mom, didn't you say that the Rongguo Mansion has gone downhill now? If the Lai family hadn't been confiscated, the bank would be in trouble."
"This time and that time, when was that time? It was five or six years ago, how can it be compared with now? Now in the whole capital, there are only one or two families that can compare with our Rongguo Mansion." Zhou Rui's family said with pride.
.
Zhou Qian said with disbelief: "It's impossible."
Although Rongguo Mansion has made some progress in the capital, compared with the top aristocratic families in the capital, it is not even the slightest bit different.
At this time, Zhou Rui's family raised their heads and looked at their daughter, the ridicule in their eyes became more obvious, and then said to her: "Do you know who our Rongguo Mansion belongs to now?"
"What kind of family it is, it's just a middle-class family. If you ask me, you might as well have left Rongguo Mansion with my father, rather than working as a slave for someone else."
"Ignorant girl, don't talk about now, let's talk about back then. If the two of us weren't in the Rongguo Mansion, your son-in-law would be able to open the antique shop so smoothly. You must know that a centipede is dead but not stiff." Zhou Rui's family
Seeing that my daughter is still so stupid, I quickly explain it to her so that she doesn't know what's good or bad.
