Mrs. Qin looked at her son who she had carefully nurtured with disappointment, and with her last words, she no longer cared about him and only pulled Lu Lingyun away.
Lu Lingjun spent a long time talking to her in Qin's room, patiently comforting her with a song.
When leaving, Mrs. Qin looked at Lu Lingjun as if she were her own daughter, and they were much closer to her.
She also asked Aunt Wen to take a lot of things, and told Lu Lingjun to just pay for whatever was lacking in the future.
From now on, if you don’t understand anything, you will go to Aunt Wen first. Your subordinates will not also go to Aunt Wen to learn.
This means giving Lu Lingyun real power to run the family.
It's different from the kind of business that Lu Hanyi was given only the right keys in his previous life.
In a big family, people are the core of power. The cards, keys, and ledgers are all superficial.
The people who control the core things of the family are all members of the Qin family. Lu Hanyi only has the power to see, not to move.
The huge Hou Mansion is actually the territory of different masters everywhere.
The servants in the Hou Mansion are divided into two main factions. One is the sons of the Hou Mansion for generations. These people have been members of the Hou Mansion for generations. They are the most loyal to the Hou Mansion and are the main servants of the Hou Mansion. They are generally in charge of the affairs of the outer houses. Zhuangzi's shop, land and real estate, these are the people of the master, the old Marquis.
The other type is Mrs. Qin’s people. Most of them are dowries brought by Mrs. Qin from her natal family. After these people come, they will gradually take over the management of the inner house, taking charge of the grandma, teaching the grandma, accounting room, warehouse, etc. The manager of the personnel room, in short, is the person who controls the core of the inner house.
Now that the Qin family had released her power, Nanny Xu Wen helped her bring people, asking Lu Lingjun to slowly put her people into the Hou Mansion.
This is a real endorsement of her.
Of course, Lu Lingyun couldn't replace everyone at the beginning. She hadn't reached that time yet.
The Hou Mansion is not hers yet.
Lu Lingjun was smart. She thanked Mrs. Qin seriously and gave her her assurance. When Mrs. Qin was satisfied, she came out of Mrs. Qin's room. A bunch of maids and servants rushed to Lu Lingjun and saluted respectfully.
Everyone recognized her as the new hostess of the Hou Mansion.
In this world, a husband's favor is not absolute, but no matter when a woman has real power in her hands and enough gold and silver around her, she will be truly respected wherever she goes.
Lu Lingjun looked at the respectful servants and said to Aunt An, "Aunt An, I will go back and pack some small red envelopes later, and ask each courtyard to come to our courtyard to receive the wedding money. Everyone is so busy that I have already worked hard to get in. I will order another two hundred catties." One hundred pork and live chickens will be sent to the kitchen, and the money will be taken from our warehouse. I will give you an extra dish today."
After Lu Lingjun finished speaking, the servants in the mansion said in unison.
"Thank you, madam!"
Lu Lingjun led everyone away amidst the joy of everyone. After the afternoon, her small courtyard became lively.
The servants from various courtyards of the Hou Mansion came to receive the wedding money to express their gratitude.
The Hou Mansion has only been passed down for several generations, with a small population and not many courtyards.
In addition to the warehouse, kitchen, and service rooms, the only remaining items were Ningxinyuan where the old Marquis and Mrs. Qin lived, the courtyard where the three aunts lived, and the Yaoguang Pavilion where the prince lived.
The three aunts were all concubines of the old Marquis, but they had nothing to say, and now they were all sent to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras.
The prince's pampered concubine did not have a separate hospital, because she was not even considered an aunt. She came in without a matchmaker, no employment, no status, and no status. She was first raised by the prince in Yaoguang Pavilion.
No one in the house knew what to call her, so they had to call her Miss Xing.
I heard that the woman was quite useful and didn't think there was any problem. First of all, she said she didn't care about such false things as status.
In the end, no one in the house looked down upon her.
Everyone from the Marquis Mansion came to Lu Lingjun to receive the reward, especially those from the Buddhist Hall. There was a big meal today, which made these people very happy.
When everyone left, they were all praising the new young lady who came in.
"Our young lady is so generous."
"Who says it's not the case? The young lady has a kind heart as soon as she sees her!"
"She gave us such a big red envelope as soon as we entered the house. She is worthy of being our lady. She has such a noble demeanor."
"Who says it's not? Look at the one in Yaoguang Pavilion. He sneaked in and was kept by the prince. He said he was a concubine and didn't even have a title."
"Keep your voice down."
"What are you afraid of? No one from Yaoguang Pavilion came. It must be because they are not allowed to come and collect it! You are really a small family. If you don't give things to everyone, you don't ask us servants to come and collect them. I will do it for you. The people in Yaoguang Pavilion are pitiful."
People in Lu Lingjun's courtyard listened to everyone's voices and all looked at each other silently. A few silently went in to join in the inquiry.
A wedding banquet not only allowed Lu Lingjun to gain the favor of all the people in the house, but more importantly, it allowed his subordinates to quickly make friends with people in various houses and establish a preliminary information network.
Qin gave her power, but it also depends on her methods.
Lu Lingjun distributed some things to his servants, and soon became familiar with each courtyard.
"Aunt An, my mother asked me to take care of the affairs of the Marquis House. You listened a lot in the yard today, and you did a good job of giving money and meals. From now on, you can follow Aunt Wen and learn how to run a house, so that you can be my big housekeeper. .”
Lu Lingjun gave instructions to Nanny An in front of Nanny Wan.
Aunt An was flattered when she heard that Lu Lingyun had entrusted her with such an important task as soon as she opened her mouth.
she?
Aunt Wen was the number one housekeeper in the house, and Lu Lingyun actually gave her such an important job!
"What? Don't you want to?"
"No, no, no, madam! I am willing! I will definitely do it well!" Aunt An nodded repeatedly. She had never been so taken seriously in her life, so she quickly agreed.
Nanny Wan's expression changed next to her.
Aunt An was just a single old lady who was promoted from Zhuangzi by the Liu family. She didn't even have any relatives at home, and she was always working as the eldest grandmother with the Liu family. How could she be given such a good job!
"Young Madam, why don't you leave important things like housekeeping to the old slave? The old slave used to look after the house at home for the madam and knows a lot." She asked immediately.
Lu Lingjun glanced at her lightly and said, "Mother Wan, I have something else to arrange for you. My yard has just been opened and I need people to watch it the most. You can help me watch the yard from now on."
Asking her to look after the yard is no different from treating her like an old guard dog!
Aunt Wan's face was a mess, "Young Madam, it depends on how big the yard is, but Aunt An can do it, I think..."
Lu Lingjun glanced over and said, "What do you think? If I arrange something for you, do you think you are the master or am I? Or do you think I am not worthy of you? If so, just go back Let’s go to the Lu family!”
Aunt Wan immediately lowered her head, "I don't dare, old slave."
Lu Lingjun glanced at them lightly, with a slight smile on his lips.
Mrs. Liu was playing tricks and deliberately refused to give her a contract, which happened to be an excellent way to manipulate them.
Grandma An was alone and had no relatives at home, so there was no difference between having the contract in Liu's hand and not having it at all.
As long as she gives her some power and lets her live a good life by her side, Nanny An will not want to return to the Lu family at all, and will be even more afraid that Lu Lingyun will drive her back.
It's easy to hold.
Aunt Wan has a big family at home, and she also has the Liu family in her heart. Although this kind of person cannot be cultivated, she is very suitable for hard work and dirty work. In the future, she will be given some dirty work and thrown back when she is no longer used. , she was worried about Mrs. Liu, who was her biggest handle, and could be used to kill her all the time.
Moreover, you don’t have to give her a good look at all, and you don’t have to worry about hurting her heart if you rub it casually.
The second step to being a good matron is to make good use of people.
