Chapter 33 The foundation of the world is the country, the foundation of the country is at home, and the foundation of the family is the body
The two of them chatted all the way to Anxi Hall. As expected, they saw that the courtyard was crowded with many stewards from the government, various villages, and shops.
Xu Wanning glanced at Jing Shu, saying, "You see, I guessed it right."
Jingshu really didn’t expect that the old lady would let her take charge of the house so quickly. Not to mention the Zhenguo Gongfu, one of the most wealthy families in the capital, even for ordinary wealthy families, the bride must have been in the family for a year before she is qualified to take care of the middle child. For those with insufficient abilities, it may take even longer.
And she has only been in the government for three months, so her time is still short.
Everyone in the courtyard saw the two dazzling young ladies coming in. They all frowned and greeted them respectfully.
As they walked towards the main room, they nodded slightly at everyone, and entered the main room one after the other.
Inside the house, the old lady was sitting at the top. She has now recovered from her illness. Today she is wearing a lotus green Zhai Yi with red vermilion piping. Her gray hair is meticulously combed into a bun, with a red gold Luan and Phoenix hairpin stuck squarely on the top of her bun. There are green hairpins on her temples. Inky jade beads.
The end is strong-spirited and majestic.
Uncle Fu and Uncle Xiang, the chief stewards of the mansion, were seated below the old lady. Seeing Jing Shu and Xu Wanning come in, they stood up to greet them.
These two are highly respected stewards in the mansion. They did not dare to entrust them to others, so they quickly returned the favor.
"Sit down, I called you here today because I have something to say." The old lady greeted the two grandsons-in-law.
The two agreed and sat down next to the old lady.
The old lady said straight to the point: "A while ago, the second elder's family always dreamed about the deceased second master at night. Now he went to the temple to copy scriptures for the second master."
No matter how bad the Guo family is, she is also the biological mother of the uncle Li Xian. Although the old lady hates her, she still has to save some face for her in the scene for the sake of her eldest grandson.
After saying that, the old lady looked at Jingshu, then turned to the two housekeepers and said: "My body and bones have been getting worse lately, and my spirit is inevitably not good. Although the second madam has only been in the house for a short time, she has been doing things that are expedient. , I plan to leave everything in the house to her to take care of."
Since she married into the Zhenguo Duke's palace and became the wife of the crown prince, it was only a matter of time before she managed the middle court.
She is from a low background. If she takes up the responsibility of being a housewife as soon as possible, she will be able to establish a firm foothold in this high family as soon as possible. In addition, she is also capable. Her natal stepmother was just her mother's personal maid during her lifetime. She came from a humble background, so she was able to take care of everything inside and outside the home. She was able to take care of it early. After taking over the central feeder, Jingshu still felt confident.
The old lady was able to hand over the control of the family to her so early because she valued her, so Jing Shu naturally had no reason to be unwilling.
Just on the scene, you still have to be modest.
Jingshu stood up, gave the old lady a slight blessing, and said slowly: "My granddaughter-in-law thanks my grandmother for her love. It's just that I'm young, so I'm afraid I won't live up to my grandmother's respect."
The old lady said: "What's the big deal about being young? Who hasn't been young? Besides, you still have my family and two uncles to help you."
Without waiting for Jing Shu to reply, Xu Wanning rushed to say, "Don't worry, grandma, I will do my best to help my younger siblings."
For Xu Wanning, she was happier that the old lady could hand over the control of the family to Jing Shu than Jing Shu, the future person in power.
In the past, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Guo, was in charge of everything in the house. Ms. Guo is an extremely selfish and greedy person. Over the years, she has done many things to line her own pockets. Now that there is a decent Crown Prince and his wife in the house, it is time for her to give up her power.
Xu Wanning has been suppressed by the Guo family since she entered the house. She has deep resentment in her heart, thinking that the Guo family has been deprived of power.
Xu Wanning just relieves her anger!
The old lady smiled and said, "You are a good child. Grandma will be relieved as long as you are here." Uncle Xiang and Uncle Fu also echoed: "The old lady has worked hard for most of her life, and now that she has two such capable granddaughter-in-laws, it's time to Enjoy your peace and happiness. Don’t worry, we will try our best to help the Crown Prince’s wife take care of everything.”
The old lady smiled happily and winked at Nanny Xu. Nanny Xu turned around and went to the inner room. After a while, she took out a delicate wooden box and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady opened the box, took out a red gold plaque from it, rubbed it in her hand a few times, called Jingshu to step forward and said: "This is the pair of plaques from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, passed down from the clan's wife. I passed it down back then. I gave it to Fu Xi, and Fu Xi gave it back to me when he returned to the princess's residence, and I will pass it on to you today."
Jingshu said respectfully: "My granddaughter-in-law will do her best not to disappoint my grandmother."
The old man solemnly said: "Guard the ancestral heritage and continue the lintel of the family. The wife of the clan is the Dinghai Shenzhen in this mansion." She looked at Jingshu with hope and said slowly: "How to cultivate yourself, the doorway lies in this pair of cards. Just practice and think about it yourself."
Jingshu took the pair of cards and looked at them carefully. The front of the gilt pair of cards was printed with:
The foundation of the world is the country, the foundation of the country is at home, and the foundation of the family is the body.
What is printed on the back is: gentle, respectful, thrifty and generous.
Holding the right cards in her hands, she knelt on her knees and kowtowed solemnly to the old lady: "Keep the ancestral heritage and continue the lintel. I will definitely live up to my mission."
The old lady helped Jingshu up and said, "From now on, it's up to you to make appointments with the uncle in the government office."
Uncle Xiang stepped forward and said to the old lady: "The stewards everywhere are waiting outside. The old lady wants to give you a lecture."
The old lady nodded and said, "I summoned them today because I want them to meet our new head." After that, she looked at Jing Shu and said, "Let's go with grandma."
The outside has already been prepared. There is a high platform under the corridor, which is covered with bright red felt. All the stewards have already arrived, and they are standing respectfully under the platform waiting.
The old lady held Jingshu's hand, slowly climbed up the steps, and lectured to the crowd of people below who were listening attentively: "There are more than 500 people in the Duke's Mansion, and you all are from all over the mansion. The branch officials are all knowledgeable and capable."
Everyone below said respectfully: "Thank you, madam, for your kindness."
The old lady continued: "Now that the prince is married and has his wife, I am also old. Today, I will hand over the gifts of this mansion to the second lady. From now on, you must obey the second lady's orders and do good work."
The people below immediately knelt down and shouted to Jingshu Mountain on the high platform: "We will definitely do our best, and I hope that the Crown Prince and Madam will take the lead."
The autumn sun was shining brightly, the sky was clear, and the bright sunlight shone on the little woman on the high platform. Her unparalleled beauty was filled with the brilliance of calmness and confidence.
I received a lot of messages from book friends yesterday, so I’ll reply again.
1. Jingshu suffered such a great injustice in Luyuan, did she just swallow it and let it go?
Answer: This matter has not passed yet, and it will be resolved soon. It will help the heroine vent her anger. I will not let our little heroine suffer in vain.
2. Some book friends say that the female protagonist should be allowed to abuse the male protagonist.
Answer: My dear friends, this is not a revenge-torture scumbag, and the male protagonist is not a scumbag either. In the previous life, it was because the female protagonist was always submissive that the male protagonist, a straight man, ignored her feelings. In this life, the heroine has found herself, and will slowly tame this straight man. As a parent of a straight man like the hero, the pain in the skin and flesh can't be done to him, and the pain and itchiness will be gone after a sleep. The heroine tames him, mainly mentally, in a "boiling a frog in warm water" style. Don't worry, everyone, these dark horses like Li Ling will be tamed by the heroine sooner or later. The heroine frowned slightly, and he would not be satisfied with the food, and his heart would be broken. This kind of "abuse" is the correct way for our heroine to control her husband. An attentive Baozi will find that the current male protagonist is not as straight as he was at the beginning. Changing to a straight man does not happen overnight!
Only a confident woman can have a wonderful life! This is the main purpose of this article.
I hope that we can all become confident women and have a wonderful life.
