Chapter 11 The rights and obligations of the mistress
Wei Chi sighed, put down what was in his hand, and said, "I know, I just don't like that feeling of powerlessness. It's the twelve years of Zhenguan. Why can't you just go there in a flash?"
Wei Chi looked very depressed, Xie Jiu smiled slightly and said slowly: "In the ninth year of Zhenguan, Empress Changsun was critically ill, so we treated him; in the ninth year of Zhenguan, Prince Chengqian was trampled by a frightened cow, because our treatment was not disabled; although Princess Jinyang Xiao Yizi's body was a little weak in resistance, she has always been healthy, so it can be said that we have properly treated..."
Xie Jiu counted like that, his eyes were as watery as his eyes were warm, and Wei Chi suddenly laughed and said with a sigh: "Madam, wise and open-minded, can be more open-minded than me, a man. It's right. I have changed so much, and there is nothing else to be satisfied with. But I hope I can do better and make those who treat me well, so that's great."
Xie Jiu smiled and replied: "Just do your best. The result is not something we can control. We must set our mindset well, Lord Wei."
What should I say about this sister's personality? Wei Chi smiled and listened to her words. Xie Jiu was quite satisfied. She was able to listen to other people's opinions, not being self-righteous or arrogant, which is also a good advantage.
Grasping the tail of summer, I saved a lot of dried mushrooms and a lot of honey, filtered them all and put them in. I soaked a cup every morning and evening, which was both health-care and beautiful. Xie Jiu liked it very much.
Because the princesses in the palace gradually got married, fewer and fewer people of the same age in the palace were in the palace, and even fewer people could play with her without bullying her. With the consent of His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun, after completing his studies, Wei Zi could come to Wei's mansion to play. He really became Wei Chi's little tail, and he followed Wei Chi wherever he went, occasionally reading and writing with Xie Jiu, and he was very familiar with the two twins in the Wei family.
After so many years of mingling with him, Wei Chi truly understood the age of Little Snow. He was born in the seventh year of Zhenguan and is only five years old now. Wei Chi has always remembered her age wrongly and thought she was already six years old. However, if she was considered a void, it would not be wrong. After knowing that Little Snow was old, Wei Chi was very moved. This little loli was really precocious. However, considering the situation of Empress Changsun at that time, she became pregnant shortly after giving birth to Yi Zi. With her physical condition, no wonder she couldn't afford to get sick. It was probably that Empress Changsun and His Majesty Li Er had no time to take care of her. The lonely child was always more mature and sensible than her peers. In this way, it was not surprising.
On that day, Wei Chi came back from get off work, there was no one in the main room and no one in the game room. Xie Jiu was reading the account book in the study. It was almost the end of the year, and the accounts of several families should be cleared again. The twins, Yizi, Gao Yang, and Niu Niu went to the small tree house. Now, the small tree house has become Yizi's favorite place. They brought a lot of small things and piled up the small tree house full of fun and cute things. When they came to the tree house, they heard the crisp voice of Xiao Yizi: "Linlin, that one cannot be eaten, just smell it."
Wei Chi was so happy that the child's innocence and cuteness made people feel relieved, but...
"What are you eating!"
When Wei Chi climbed up, the scene he saw was that their fat son was stuffing a leaf into his mouth, his little face was fancy. When he saw him up, he grinned at him stupidly, and smiled with saliva on his face, like a little cat. Wei Chi went over in a frustration, quickly stripped off the leaves in his hand, took out a handkerchief, wiped his face with disgust, wiped his daughter, and looked at his daughter, it was not much better. He bit his fingers and drooled. Niu Niu held a piece of candy, attracting a puppy, and hid in front, Qi Qi drooling behind him. Wei Chi was extremely speechless, and he was covered in black on the spot, and he carried Niu Niu's collar and carried her over: "Don't bully my daughter!"
Niu Niu giggled, holding her belly so hard that she fell on the fur that was pounced on the tree house, and said, "Qiqi is so cute! Master said that you can't give them too much sugar, so people are so funny to play with her! If you don't believe me, the master asked Qiqi, and she also likes to play with me."
"Take it down, just bully the child, are you ashamed?" Wei Chi rolled her eyes directly. This little girl was too bad and I don't know who she learned from.
"Mr. Wei is back?" Little Sweet came up happily. Wei Chi smiled and touched her head. Li Chi was playing house with Lin Lin. This was also the reason why Lin Lin's idiot was eating leaves. Wei Chi was speechless. Their children were at a disadvantage. Playing with a group of weird children was like toys delivered to the door. It was pitiful. She wiped her fat son's face with sympathy and carried her daughter to sit in her arms, so as not to be bullied by a bad-hearted senior sister.
"After playing for a day, should you do something?"
Wei Chi had a wolf grandfather's smile on his face, and Gao Yang gave him a look of contempt. Niu Niu smiled, her eyes full of defense, but only Yizi trusted her wholeheartedly, looking at Wei Chi with great enthusiasm, waiting for his next sentence. Wei Chi's heart was sweating secretly. It was hard to live a life of fooling around these days.
Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Wei Chi said, "Help collect the mushroom dried mushrooms. If you want to eat, you can't come if you don't want to eat. Hehe, I'll go. Let's go, we must be diligent and good kids!"
"Well! Yizi likes to eat mushrooms!"
Wei Chi picked up the wicked boy and prepared to go down. He turned his head to look at the two little idiots in their family. Wei Chi told Zhao brother: "Take care for them, don't carry them anymore, save me trouble. I will come and hug them again after I finish collecting them later."
"Okay, lord."
Zhaodi responded with a smile, put down the needlework in his hand, and played with the twins. Wei Chi led the other children down, muttering in his heart. Before he knew it, the little loli in their family, Zhaodi has grown into a pretty little girl. This child has grown up in the past two years, and looks so beautiful, with a full youthful atmosphere all over his body. It's so good to be young. Someone with a young skin on the outside, and standing inside, he sighed like an old man.
Someone abused child labor and mobilized several children to help clean up the dried mushrooms. In the study, Xie Jiu had just checked the accounts for this quarter. He held a cup of tea and rubbed his sour eyes and asked in a low voice: "Where is the young master and the young lady?"
Li Er, who was serving Xie Jiu, said, "The young master and the lady are playing in the tree house, but they haven't brought it back yet."
Xie Jiu waved his hand and said, "It's okay if you have the master here. I've been tired for a few days. Let's go down and rest."
Li'er left happily to rest. Before leaving, she remembered to bring Xie Jiu some snacks. She had everything set up before going back to her hut to rest. However, Sister Liu stayed, looking at her with a look of desire. Xie Jiu looked up lightly, looked at her and said, "What do you want to say? Even if you say it bluntly."
Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said, "Madam, it's about Zhaodi. The little girl is almost eighteen this year. Since she arrived at our house and followed you to serve you, should I arrange a way out for her? The housekeeper said that the wife and the master are not familiar with these, so we should remind you at the right time as servants. If the wife feels presumptuous, then I..."
Xie Jiu smiled faintly and said, "No, this reminder is very good and suitable. Zhaodi... It's really time to arrange her way out."
Xie Jiu held the teacup and pondered silently. Mrs. Liu followed Xie Jiu for so long, knowing her personality, and knowing that she had already taken care of her, so she felt relieved.
When he was resting in the evening, Xie Jiu took out the question and asked Wei Chi, saying, "Zhao's contract was given to us by someone else. The contract was signed by the eldest brother. The contract was signed by the lifelong contract. The little girl was careful and well-behaved and always worked diligently in the backyard. She really had to consider her future. Do you have any opinions?"
Wei Chi scratched his head and said, "I am a man, how could I think of these things? We don't understand the rules of the Tang Dynasty. When I go to bed, you can ask my adopted mother for advice. She has been the mistress of the family for so many years and is experienced. She will definitely help you solve the problem."
When the holiday was over, the whole family of Wei's family went to the Qin's family to meet, and then all went to the village of Qin's family to spend the weekend. Mr. Qin recently became obsessed with fishing. He wore a hat and sat under the shade of trees all day long, making fishing fun. However, his grades were pitiful and he couldn't catch a fish all day long. Occasionally, he was lucky enough to catch a small fish with a finger and was as happy as a child. He took it to the kitchen to make soup, saying that he wanted everyone to taste it. This worried group of people in the kitchen - such a big fish, how to make it? Ask Wei Chi, Wei Chi also had a headache, so he simply made it into fish fillet porridge. As long as it smells like a fish, everyone drank a bowl, and they all tasted it, right?
A man took advantage of the trick, which obviously made the old man happy, and he specially agreed to accompany him to fish the next day. By the way, when the old man was fishing, he didn't like people beside him, saying that there were too many people and the fish were all shocked. This reason is extremely suspicious. However, as long as the old man is happy, even if he says that the fish in the entire pond does not eat bait, Wei Chi will be happy and sincerely said that it was a mutant fish, which has nothing to do with the old man's fishing skills.
On a rare holiday, wearing a hat, covering your head and face, lying in the shade of a tree, dozing off lazily, what a beautiful thing. What should I do on holidays? Of course, it’s just rest. As for my wife and children, it seems that they are among the female family members. The two little babies are very popular, and they are too late to hold them. As for my father, I can’t take the turn, and I’m just right to be lazy.
A group of women, young and old, were all sitting in the pavilion in the garden, eating fruits, drinking herbal tea, making needles and threads, and chatting about gossip. Their lives were pretty. Xie Jiu didn't like to spread gossip, nor did he like to talk about other people's family affairs behind their backs. However, Wei Chi told her not to show a rejection attitude just because she didn't like it. In order to integrate into the environment and into the crowd more harmoniously, sometimes, you can adopt a softer attitude and your figure can be softer. Xie Jiu listened
After entering, I did as I did it, and the effect was good. A man once quoted something in a book that said that women love gossip because they are natural and they should understand it. After listening to many, Xie Jiu also thought these things were quite interesting. Listening to other people's family and family, he could learn a lot of experience in dealing with people and serving his husband. Is it true that women naturally like gossip? To put it in a man's words, this is a puzzle of the century, so it would be better to continue to let it continue, and he doesn't plan to be a thinker or something.
When a woman is together, she will inevitably talk about what a certain family is like, and she will inevitably show off her situation intentionally or unintentionally. As she talked, she turned to the topic of the owner of another mansion stealing a secret raising outside, which caused many women to discuss. As she spoke, she also talked about a male owner of the Wei Mansion. Today, all the female relatives of the Qin Mansion were present, and they spoke more intimately without any scruples. The daughter-in-law of the Qin Mansion smiled and said, "Si Si, why didn't Zhao brother come with me? But the fourth uncle had the intention to collect the house?"
Xie Jiu was stunned and smiled faintly, "Zhaodi is getting older, and that child can be said to be the one who is growing up with us. Silang has no intention of collecting the house. He should be careful. Zhaodi is transferred to take care of Qierliner. We will be handed over to Li'er in the room. Li'er has been with us for several years, so it is easy to be able to arouse you."
The adopted mother continued: "Si Si is right. Since she has no mind to the little girl, she should pay attention to avoid suspicion on weekdays."
With the attitude of asking for help, Xie Jiu took the opportunity to ask: "When we first returned to the Tang Dynasty, the batch of slaves we bought is getting older this year and it is time to go to life. We are not just recruiting my brothers. I am young and have no experience in dealing with such things. Please give me some advice."
After the guidance of his adopted mother, Xie Jiu understood. How to deal with the slaves depends on the character and concepts of the masters. Generally, those who are at the age of getting married often choose a spouse among servants to get married. The slaves have no status, no autonomy, freedom of marriage, and freedom of love are even more irrelevant. The adopted mother did not explain how to deal with it, but just told Xie Jiu many practical examples to let her consider it herself. After all, the mistress of the Wei Mansion is Xie Jiu.
Xie Jiu took the scriptures in Qin Mansion, Wei Chi took a beautiful sleep, and the Qilin twins also had a smile on their faces and tricked many things home. Each of them had their own place. After the holiday, they went home. Xie Jiu also had an idea in his heart. Before she could tell Zhao Di, Zhao Di had come to the door with a resentful look on her face and asked cryingly: "Madam, what's wrong with Zhao Di? Did Zhao Di make a mistake?"
