Sister Feng said to Yingchun: "Now there is no manager in the sewing room. If you choose one of these people, you must first clarify what you want her to do. What I told you just now is what the manager of the sewing room should do. After a while, you Ask them carefully to see if you can choose a helper from them."

Yingchun said: "Sister-in-law, you can choose."

Sister Feng said: "You choose, my sister-in-law will watch. If there is anything missing, I will make it up later."

When the people from the sewing room came in to salute, Yingchun nervously shook the record in her hand and was speechless.

Sister Feng didn't say anything, she just leaned on the back of the chair and looked at her hands.After waiting for a while, I heard Yingchun's small voice asking: "Mothers, the sewing room needs a steward. Which one of you wants to be in charge?"

Sister Feng nodded and smiled at Yingchun, which is also a way.

Sister Feng saw that Yingchun asked the three of them one by one, and she finished all the questions.The three embroiderers are all a little eager to try, but they dare not recommend themselves.Yingchun didn't speak anymore, just bowed her head.Sister Feng said in her heart that this character still needs to be tempered. If Tanchun should have made up her mind by now.

Sister Feng said to Xiu Niang, "A few years ago, the master, wife and us all had to make new clothes, and they were all eight sets of clothes to be worn outside. We had to match them with accessories such as purses and belts, so what's the problem?"

The embroiderer who was in Sister Feng's yard got up and replied, "It's okay to catch up, but I'm afraid it will be too late if I add boots."

Sister Feng said, "Shoes are made in each yard. Can one person in the sewing room make two pairs of boots for going out?"

The embroiderer said: "Go back to the second grandma, it's done. Please ask the second grandma to assign two clever little girls to help each person in the sewing room. And ask two rough women to do some manual work."

Sister Feng saw that this man dared to speak, and she looked a bit responsible, so she said, "Okay, people have entered the mansion recently, and I will pick out the smart ones for you first. You will take care of the sewing room first, and find the girl if you have anything to do. You take care of it."

Call Ping'er to bring a few pieces of cloth, pointing to the cloth and saying to the embroiderer: "These are for the master and the second master, let's do it first. Tomorrow the cloth shop will send the cloth, and then choose."

Several embroiderers hugged the cloth and left with a salute.

After the embroiderers had left, Sister Feng sent everyone down, saying, "The embroiderer was chosen to be in charge because she dared to speak up. She knows what the sewing room can do well, what is missing, and what is missing. As for Can you manage people and things well, try it out for a while, let's see and talk."

Yingchun nodded, seeming to realize something.

At noon, Jia Lian sent someone in to say that Jia Yun had come, and the master stayed for dinner, and ate in front.

Sister Feng and Yingchun took their eldest sister to lunch, and after lunch they went to rest.

In the front yard, Jia She, Jia Lian and Jia Yun had lunch together. Jia She asked Jia Yun some things. When the meal was over, Jia She nodded to Jia Lian and said, "Since Yuner wants to do it, let's try it first. Yes." If you have any questions, ask your second uncle." The two hurriedly got up to see Jia Amnesty.

Jia Lian said to Jia Yun: "Your second aunt said hello, let you try, you have to work hard, don't hit your second aunt in the face."

Jia Yun repeatedly stated that she would do a good job, and thanked Lian's second uncle for his support.

Jia Lian took Jia Yun to familiarize himself with the personnel affairs in the mansion little by little, and told Jia Yun what he should do recently. The second girl will take charge of the mansion in the future.

A lunch break was arranged for Jia Yun, and Jia Lian went back to find Sister Feng when she saw the time was about the same.I told Sister Feng in detail about the possible annual income of the Zhuangzi shop, etc. that I had arranged for the division of the family, and discussed the expenses for basic necessities, food, housing, and human relations for a year.

Sister Feng said: "There are still two big places in this family to save money every year. One is that our branch has to buy a sacrifice field. This is the way out for our descendants. We will buy it when we see a suitable one. We have to ask the second master about it." Ask the master if you should go back to Jinling or buy it nearby. The other one is marriage. The second girl will be sixteen in the next year, and she will be old enough to leave the court. She has not prepared any dowry such as wood and clothing, so it has to be done now." Call Ping'er to take out the 3000 taels of silver notes that Jia Lian gave to Jia Lian a few days ago, "Second Master, while you are at home these few days, let's set it up for the second sister first, pick some good wood, and invite a craftsman to make the bed first. Dressing table and other necessities, the dowry shop and Zhuangzi have to be prepared by the second master."

Jia Lian smiled, "Are you afraid that your father will not die from exhaustion? Yun'er is the only one who can help and assign new errands."

Sister Feng scolded him, "On the left and right are your own sister and cousin, is Second Master still busy for me?"

"Oh, then I have to thank Second Grandma well."

"That's it."

The husband and wife made fun of each other, and they felt more caring for each other.

Feng'er reported from outside the curtain, "Second master, grandma, the girl is here. People from the cloth village have been waiting for a while."

Sister Feng hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly. Tell the people from Buzhuang to wait in the flower hall. Go and invite Uncle Xiaoyun to the flower hall."

Yingchun comes in to greet Jia Lian and Sister Feng.Sister Feng jokingly said, "Second Lord, do you think our girl has become more beautiful these two days?"

Jia Lian took a closer look, but was really taken aback.In the past, my younger sister always bowed her head silently, and followed the girls in Jia's mansion without making a sound.Those who have been trained by Sister Feng in the past two days can also raise their heads and say a few words, their looks are naturally different, and their shyness has also retreated by two points.Then he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Second Grandma, for teaching my younger sister, it's polite for my husband."

Yingchun followed suit, "Thank you sister-in-law."

Sister Feng covered her mouth with her handkerchief, and turned around to avoid it. "Where you dare to be the second master's gift, I can't bear it when I see my sister." Pulling Yingchun again, he said: "Don't pay attention to your brother, it's just talking nonsense."

Yingchun smiled and saluted Jia Lian, "Thank you too, brother."

Jia Lian hurriedly replied, "Sister, what is not worth thanking is what brother should do."

Sister Feng laughed: "We thank you here and there, but it's all our own meat that rots in our own pot, and we don't take advantage of outsiders."

The three of them kept laughing, and Ping'er came in and said, "Uncle Xiaoyun has arrived." They walked to the flower hall.

The cloth village has been used by the Rongguo Mansion for a long time. When Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng came in, they quickly saluted and exchanged greetings.

Jia Lian said: "Because I will go to the household department to work in a few days, I will entrust everything to Uncle Xiaoyun." The proprietress of the cloth village hurried up to meet Jia Yun again and asked Jia Yun to take care of her.

Jia Lian said: "Second Grandma is getting heavy, so my younger sister will take care of the house."

The cloth shop moved out all kinds of fabrics, and Sister Feng took Yingchun to pick them one by one.I also determined the clothing material and appearance of the servants, maids, servant girls, and servants at home, and appointed them to be ready before the Spring Festival, and another batch of curtains, etc., were also made before the Spring Festival.

Sister Feng said: "Mr. Xiaoyun's clothes are different. In the next two days, you will first get out two sets with purse accessories, and then you will have four sets for the Spring Festival, and the accessories will be prepared together."

The proprietress was very happy to get such a business, so she said: "Master Xiaoyun's two sets of clothes should be our congratulatory gift to Mr. Xiaoyun." The horses are all this year's new engraved silk styles. This one is a big red phoenix wearing peony, this one is crimson grape pattern sprinkled with gold, this one is silver red pomegranate, this one is orange persimmon ruyi pattern, the colors are very called Second Grandma, the pattern It's also auspicious, that is, the second grandma can dress up."

Jia Lian knew that Sister Feng liked red, and these few pieces of material were really good, so she made the decision.

Sister Feng said: "For this kind of material, besides this color, you can prepare a few more patterns and send them to me in the next year." Fu also pointed to the coral pink Phalaenopsis, camellia red, orchid color, lilac color, and jasmine yellow. A few bolts of jacquard satin material, each of which is tailored for my sister."

I also chose magenta and sapphire blue materials for Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian, and Jia Yun, and selected a few auspicious ones for Mrs. Xing according to her daily dressing preferences, and finally chose a ruby ​​​​red with endless numbers. The tattoo is for Jia Mu.

The materials for the clothes were almost selected, so Sister Feng sent someone to call the people from the sewing room to come and pick up the selected materials.He ordered the sewing room to make the clothes for the eldest sister, and used himself and Yingchun to make the clothes, and told the cloth village to send all kinds of silk embroidery threads tomorrow.After finishing all this, it was almost dinner time.Jia Yun and Yingchun bid farewell and said they would go back to keep the accounts. Jia Lian and Sister Feng looked at each other and smiled. The newcomers in the workplace are working hard.

Jia Lian thought for a while and said to Sister Feng: "Feng'er, you have worked hard all day. Eat early and rest. May I take eldest sister to father's place for dinner?"

Sister Feng smiled: "Okay. It's better to bring the eldest sister to accompany father."

Then Jia Lian took Sister Feng back to the house, and then took the eldest sister to wait, and went forward to have dinner with Jia Amnesty.

When Jia Lian went into Jia She's study with his eldest sister in his arms, he saw Jia She sitting alone in the study, subconsciously playing with a jade-carved Pixiu, only the size of a finger belly, with his eyes vacant, looking like he was wandering away from the sky.

Jia Lian took her daughter's hand and pointed at Jia Amnesty, and the elder sister called happily, "Grandfather, grandfather."

Jia She came back to life in an instant.

He hurried over and stretched out his hand, "Grandfather's good granddaughter." She hugged the eldest sister.

He turned a deaf ear to Jia Lian's greetings.

Jia Lian smiled, and told the boy to put the dinner in the side hall, and then said to Jia She, who was smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, "Father, it's time for big sister to have dinner."

Jia Amnesty's Pixiu has already arrived in the hands of the eldest sister, and when she heard the meal, she carried her to the side hall.

Jia Amnesty had already heard Jia Lian talk about the eldest sister eating by herself in the morning, and now seeing his son bring his granddaughter over with interest, his attitude towards Jia Lian has never been better, which made Jia Lian extremely regretful. , I have to be beaten and kicked less in fear.

Jia Amnesty took the cloth scarf from the eldest sister's nanny and wrapped it around the eldest sister carefully. Seeing that the eldest sister was sitting at the dining table and couldn't reach the table, he ordered Jia Lian and the young servant to clean up the kang, pick up a few dishes, and eat by himself. Sitting opposite my elder sister on the Arhat bed, ignoring Jia Lian, the grandparents and grandchildren began to eat.

Jia Lian sat alone at the dining table eating, feeling so annoyed that she might as well stay behind and eat with Sister Feng.This old man doesn't want a son if he has a granddaughter.

Compared with Jia Lian's resentment, Jia Amnesty is so beautiful in his heart. Watching his granddaughter eat, sometimes three tablespoons can't eat two tablespoons.
