Mrs. Chen and her daughter chatted for a long time and made sure that she was indeed living a good life and that the Xie family also valued the bride. Mrs. Chen felt relieved.
It has to be said that Mrs. Chen is satisfied with everything about Xie Ronghui. The only thing is that he cannot inherit all of Xie Xiuwen's family business, or even if the family is divided in the future, Xie Ronghui will clean up and leave the house.
Of course, saying this is actually a bit alarmist.
Because according to Liu Ruolan, Chen Ronghui will inherit 60 to 70% of the property in the family's old house in the future, and the eldest house's property will basically be inherited by Xie Ronghui. Therefore, strictly speaking, Xie Ronghui does not have no family property, but only shares with Xie Ronghui. Compared with the industry of Xiuwen, it seems not good enough.
But a good man can't always stare at that little bit of property.
You have to rely on your own true ability to make your way into the world.
"Your mother-in-law didn't mention the separation of the family, right?"
Chen Jiaojiao was startled: "Auntie, what are you talking about? I just got married, and I have younger brothers and sisters. How can we separate the family now? I heard that even in the old house, there is no separation of the family. My mother-in-law every year I will send some tribute back to my hometown."
Mrs. Chen just asked casually, "I was wrong. You two can live a good life together. He is still young. You must tell him to study hard and try his best when he returns to his hometown for the exam. "
"Yeah, I will."
Chen Jiaojiao's dowry was rich, and she brought a room with her as dowry, two maids, and several servants from the village. Basically, they could not come to see her in the inner house.
The nun who accompanied her was beside her, and then there were the two maids. The remaining people in Baohui Courtyard were the two sweepers.
Mrs. Chen was very satisfied when she learned that Baohui Courtyard was relatively clean.
"I heard that San Shun used to be with Xianggong. Now that they are married, San Shun has moved to the front yard as an errand and basically doesn't come to Baohui Courtyard anymore. The two sasun ladies are both in their early forties. , looks quite strong. However, I always feel that there are only two maids in the yard, is it too few? "
Mrs. Chen thought for a while: "Brother Hui is just a scholar now, and he usually studies hard. It would be bad if there were too many maids in the yard. I think your mother-in-law only arranged for him at the beginning. I have two maids, just because I don’t want him to indulge in women’s sex prematurely. Now you have two big maids by your side, which is enough for you, and you also have a nanny. If it’s not enough, you can ask for permission again. Thank you, Madam.”
"Yes, I understand. I noticed that the places where the other gentlemen live do not have maids. This may be what the father-in-law means."
When Mrs. Chen heard this, she became even more satisfied.
It's good to be strict on things like this.
"By the way, how about Zhaozhao?"
"It's good. I went to sit in her yard yesterday. I've been there before, and it doesn't seem to have changed much this time. The ornaments in her house are very valuable. I asked my husband later, Only then did I know that the Weixin Hou Mansion and the Dingguo Duke Mansion sent things to Xie Mansion several times a year, whether on New Year's Day or not, and nine out of ten times they sent things to Zhaozhao. "
Mrs. Chen also heard about this.
It has been several years, and the relationship between Weixinhou Mansion and Dingguo Duke Mansion has not stopped, which shows that he really likes Xie Rongzhao as a child.
"Not only their two mansions, but also the Cao Mansion and the Wang Mansion will send things over from time to time. I heard that the Song family in Gaoyang County will also send gifts several times a year, and most of them are for Zhaozhao."
Mrs. Chen was curious this time.
Is Xie Rongzhao so popular?
"I heard from my mother-in-law that when we were in Gaoyang County, it was Zhaozhao who accidentally broke Mrs. Song's bracelet and later discovered a powder that could make people infertile. It scared everyone at the time. We found out later. Someone did something, and not long after, Mrs. Song became pregnant, and she treated Zhaozhao as her biological daughter. This time, when Zhaozhao accompanied her mother-in-law back to her hometown, the Song family even paid a special visit."
Mrs. Chen nodded, which was an unexpected surprise.
"The Xie family dotes on Zhaozhao. You are the eldest sister-in-law, so you should take more care of her in the future. In fact, Mr. Xie has only one precious daughter who is his biological son. It is right for everyone to dote on her."
"That's what you said."
Xie Ronghui drank a lot. When he came home, although his mind was still clear, his face was very red, and he could tell at a glance that he had drunk too much.
Xie Xiuwen didn't have the habit of reprimanding the children. He just glanced at them and stopped paying attention. Gu didn't need his master's instructions and asked the kitchen to prepare hangover soup.
Xie Rongzhao was taking Xie Rongrong to make clothes for Xie Rongen. As Chen Jiaojiao said, Xie Rongen's martial arts training was really a waste of clothes and shoes.
The Xie family does not have a special sewing room, and all the work is done by each hospital.
Before Xie Ronghui got married, all men's clothes were basically taken out from Liu Ruolan's yard, but the only ones who could really wear clothes made by Liu Ruolan were Xie Xiuwen and Xie Rongzhao.
A few young men occasionally get a robe made by Liu Ruolan himself, so they have to burn high incense.
In fact, throughout the year, Xie Rongzhao's embroidery workshop will also send some clothes in. Most of them are made of fine cotton. If you wear them when going out to socialize, they may look too plain.
As for silk and satin clothes, they are usually made at home, so Liu Ruolan has a lot of work all year round.
Now that a new bride has entered the house, and there are also many relatives living there, Gu suggested setting up a sewing room. In the future, a few more mistresses will be added, and this work will definitely be indispensable.
Liu Ruolan thought it was unnecessary at first, but then she thought of the image of her daughter immersed in sewing, so she nodded.
There is a small courtyard in the inner house. Because it is small, it has always been empty. If I entertain guests, I always feel that I have wronged the guests. Now it is perfect to set up an embroidery workshop here.
"Madam, the young lady has helped us quarrel with two embroiderers. There is also a mother and daughter in the dental shop who are doing good embroidery work. In addition, we also have Aunt Xi and a few people in our house. This sewing room That’s about it.”
"Well, as long as you can live in it, don't feel too wronged."
"Don't worry, ma'am. The yard is quite spacious, and there's still room left for a warehouse."
Clothes for all seasons of the year need to be prepared in advance. You can’t wear cotton-padded clothes tomorrow, so make them today!
Xie Mansion has a sewing room, which makes it look more like an official's family.
"My daughter-in-law wishes my mother well."
Liu Ruolan motioned for her to sit over directly: "I asked you to come here because I want to hear what you mean."
"Please give me your mother's instructions."
Liu Ruolan smiled and said: "In Baohui Courtyard, apart from the two sweepers I arranged earlier, there are only one nanny and two maids you brought as a dowry. I always feel that these people are missing something." . I think Brother Hui still has to concentrate on his studies, so I thought of choosing two more seven or eight-year-old girls to work as errand boys. What do you think?"
