Chapter 181

After this major event, Liang Hui was very convinced by Chu Junlan. It would be better for the master to choose the third lady as the head lady than to hand over the common affairs of the central government to a concubine again.

Liang Hui quickly went to get the cards, accounts and keys, and presented them to Chu Junlan with respectful hands: "Miss Three."

Chu Junlan took it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Butler Liang."

Although there was nothing extra, calling him a housekeeper still made Liang Hui feel very comfortable, and his waist bent lowered: "I am a little bit by the orders of the third lady."

Chu Junlan smiled and turned around and said, "While it's not too late, let all the nannies in charge of the family come to the main hall to talk."

"Yes." Liang Hui nodded and quickly went down to make arrangements.

Chu Junlan turned around and said, "Father should come and listen, and also guide his daughter."

"No, I can trust you for my father." Chu Cailiang had just said that he could trust Chu Junlan, so he naturally would not go back on his word, so he called Aunt Sun, Aunt Su, Chu Yunjiao, Chu Peishan and Chu Huayun.

"Let's go, let's go back too, so as not to get in the way here."

Chu Cailiang seriously compliments Chu Junlan, but the rest of them are unwilling to listen. Why can Chu Junlan be the housekeeper here, and they are the hindrance here?

Chu Yunjiao smiled and said, "Father, my daughter has never seen the world. She wants to follow her third sister and learn and learn."

"Yes, father." Chu Peishan nodded. Although she didn't have so many ideas, she wanted to do it according to what Chu Yunjiao did, for fear that she would be left behind.

Chu Cailiang felt that it didn't matter. He was all his daughters, and he would have to be a housekeeper when he got married in the future. If he had put it in the past, he would have given an order, but now, his first consideration was Chu Junlan's likes and dislikes.

Chu Cailiang looked at Chu Junlan inquiringly: "Sister Lan, what do you think?"

Chu Junlan said indifferently: "Go with the sisters."

"Then you stay and follow your third sister to learn more and don't cause trouble." Chu Cailiang reminded Yi Yuanju, and turned around and went to the inner house.

Aunt Sun and Aunt Su immediately followed, and were very attentive and cheerful.

Chu Junlan arrived at the front hall and sat down in the middle seat. Chu Yunjiao and Chu Peishan curled their lips and felt a little unhappy when they saw her first seat sitting so easily. However, Chu Junlan's current identity was different. There was such a big change in the family, and they did not dare to act rashly, so they sat down separately.

The maid served tea attentively.

Chu Junlan did not eat tea, lowered her eyes and gently lit the table with her fingertips. This was her habitual movement when she was thinking.

But in a moment, several mothers and daughters-in-laws came. Everyone did not dare to make noise. Seeing that the third lady did not speak, they stood in their own place.

Liang Hui was the last one to come and stood at the end of the crowd with two managers from the outer courtyard.

There was a silent indoors, and you could hear a dove flying past outside the window.

Chu Junlan lowered his eyes and said, "Now there is something wrong with the mansion, everyone has heard of it. No matter what the Chu family is, we have to live a life. So when we go back, we will tell our subordinates to do their jobs and work hard. The changes at home have little to do with you."

"Yes." The people all responded.

Chu Junlan said again: "You are all in charge of all matters. How did the mansion divide the work in the past? Now, how many people you have, what are their names, and what are their special management. When you go back, you will arrange it and make a list and hand it over to Butler Liang, and the Butler Liang will give it to me for a look. In the future, I will ask the person you are in charge of this place."

"Yes." The people answered again.

"So, in the past, the division of labor was unclear, and this time I went back, I implemented it to everyone, such as those who manage the kitchen, who is in charge of pots and pans, who is in charge of purchasing. If there is a problem with purchasing, I will only talk to the buyer."

"yes."

"In addition, I am very busy and I will not listen to your reply every day. In the past, from afternoon to early every day, it is the time to reply specifically. When something happens, you will take the first step and return the matter the day before and morning. If there is any urgent matter, the outer courtyard will go back to Mr. Liang, and the inner courtyard will ask Mr. Qin. If Mr. Liang and Mrs. Qin cannot make decisions, they will ask me. You teach the people below to have a rule of conduct and do not report it over the level."

"Yes, I know."

Chu Junlan thought for a while and told Liang Hui again: "Butler Liang came back and asked the guards in the mansion to tell me the time they were patrolling. As a result, the mother Qin also arranged for the night-long woman to patrol the yard at night. She was not allowed to eat alcohol and gamble, nor was anyone allowed to do anything secretly stole and pass it on in the middle of the night."

"Yes, Miss Three."

Chu Junlan smiled and stood up and said, "You are all old people from the Chu family. My father will no longer be an official, but the family will not be defeated. You will concentrate on doing chores, and the benefits will not be reduced."

When the person who was speaking in front of him would be the prince's concubine in the future, and even the next princess of Gongding, the voices of the servants and maids answered louder: "I will all listen to the orders of the third lady!"

Chu Junlan waved his hand and asked someone to go down.

The whole process was straightforward and neat, so that Chu Yunjiao and Chu Peishan's tea had not been finished.

When Chu Junlan saw that everyone had left, he also planned to leave.

Chu Yunjiao came back to her senses and hurriedly took Chu Junlan's arm: "Is the third sister going back? Is the eldest brother better? My sister also wants to see the eldest brother."

Chu Junlan was casually curved with no smile in his eyes: "Brother is still unconscious at this time, so why is the fifth sister coming another day."

Chu Yunjiao was so bluntly rejected, but she still remembered what Sun told her secretly that if she wanted to enter the palace, she had to have a good relationship with Chu Junlan and strive to be a mother in the future.

So she smiled and said, "Then I'll send my third sister back."

Chu Junlan smiled and said, "If you are willing to walk around, please feel free."

There must be evil when something goes wrong. Chu Yunjiao was not close to her before. She didn't think that with Chu Yunjiao's personality, she would take the initiative to get close to her and show goodwill due to the current family changes. The last time she came to show goodwill, she also had some intentions.

Chu Yunjiao couldn't hold on her face, but she didn't want to give up, so she just smiled and held Chu Junlan's arm and walked towards the living yard with a smile.

Chu Peishan scratched her head and curled her lips to Chu Yunjiao and Chu Junlan's backs. She was now increasingly unable to understand these things in the mansion.

Chu Yunjiao kept sending Chu Junlan to the back door of the guest yard, and then reluctantly bid farewell to her, and walked away step by step. Chu Junlan saw her lowered her figure so much, but she didn't care about it.

When she returned to her room, Xiao Xu finished her chicken soup and was standing next to the bookshelf on the side to read a medical book to pass the time. When she saw her coming back, she pursed her lips and smiled.

Chu Junlan smiled back and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. My father just handed over the cards at home to me, and I came back only when I met the managers."

Xiao Xu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. My father said that I would practice in advance so that you won't be able to start when you go to your house in the future. But according to my opinion, Princess Zhang is not a person who can hand over the power in her hands, and most of them won't be able to do anything to me."

Xiao Xu smiled and said, "No hurry, there will always be a chance."

Seeing Xiao Xu say such ambitious words with a calm face, Chu Junlan felt that he might not have known him enough in the past. This person might not be as clear as he seemed on the surface, but this is normal. After all, he is a human being. Only he himself knows the suffering he has suffered in the royal palace over the years.

In the middle of the night, Chu Huating recovered from waking up. After Xiao Xu returned, Chu Junlan kept guarding Chu Huating's bed. Seeing that he finally woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, you are too risky. This time I am lucky and didn't hurt my inner abdomen. If I really hurt, what should you do? What's more, why are you so sure that the emperor will definitely save you?"

Chu Huating had already subsided, and the pain on his wound was so intense that he felt weak. In addition, he felt that he had no strength. Seeing Chu Junlan scolding him with a tense face, he just smiled comfortably: "There was no choice at that time, let alone I'm fine."

Chu Junlan brought him a spoonful of warm water and fed it to him.

Chu Huating drank a bowl of water and his throat felt much more comfortable. Just as he was about to ask a question, Chu Junlan told him the situation at home concisely.

After hearing the engagement between Ma Yan and Aunt Wang and their fate, Chu Huating was silent for a long time before saying, "It is also their deserved."

"Yes. Chu Mengying and Chu Huazhang are going to be sold tomorrow. I plan to buy someone back tomorrow."

Chu Huating was a little surprised, and then smiled and said, "Okay, after all, they are also members of the Chu family. If they serve as slaves and servants, you will become the prince's concubine in the future, and it will inevitably be said behind your back that you are cold-blooded and use some money to eliminate future troubles. It's also good."

"It's not only that." Chu Junlan whispered, "I made a deal with Aunt Wang. I promised to buy her two children. She told me about my mother back then." Chu Junlan told Chu Huating about Aunt Wang's words.

Chu Huating's face turned extremely ugly.

Seeing him like this, Chu Junlan regretted it a little: "I would have told my brother later if I had known it. I wouldn't have made you so angry."

"No, you tell me it's right. If the cause of my mother's death back then was related to Mr. Chu... I would definitely not let him go easily."

Seeing that Chu Huating, who is well-educated and well-known, even his name has changed, Chu Junlan sighed and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will find a way to meet Yi Yuhai. As long as things happen, there will inevitably be traces. As long as we don't give up, we will definitely be able to find it."

Chu Huating nodded, but his eyes were unprecedentedly determined.

At noon the next day, on the wooden platform specializing in selling housekeepers and servants at the market, a middle-aged man in a yellow wide shirt beat a drum gong, circled around the platform, and pointed at the men, women, and young people with grass signs on it.

"Sold it, it's all sold by wealthy families. There are two other people who have been young ladies and young masters. Take it home to use it and you can get some fun. Don't miss it if you want it!"
