Unlike the Shen family in Xinliang City, although the entrance to the Shen Mansion in Fengri City is decorated with lights, it doesn't look too exaggerated. It's just that the street at the door is very clean. When you push the door and go in, every corner of the house has been cleaned several times and is spotless.
The servants of the Shen Mansion headed by Hu Tian were all standing at the door, and they were all tidied up. When they saw Shen Hao's car stopped, Hu Tian came over and waited beside the car.
When Shen Hao helped Yu Qiao get out of the car, all the servants bowed to say hello.
"Good luck, madam!"
These four simple words mean that Yu Qiao has the power and status second only to Shen Hao in this family. It also meant that the backyard of the Shen Mansion, which had been empty for many years, finally welcomed its legitimate mistress.
Shen Hao and Yu Qiao entered the house together under the leadership of housekeeper Hu Tian, and then walked around along the road.
The house is very nice, both in terms of size and layout. It has been carefully thought out. It is also the most mainstream style at present. It looks more grand than Qizhou Yufu, and has more of the style of Jingzhong.
In particular, the main building in the backyard named "Lan Yue" basically combines the architectural features of Jingzhong and Jingbei, and is specially arranged according to Yu Qiao's living habits, which definitely makes Yu Qiao satisfied in every aspect.
However, the overly spacious bed in the bedroom made Yu Qiao's pretty face turn red. She didn't know what she thought of, but she pulled Shen Hao's sleeves, buried her head, and shook her head a few times.
After walking around the entire yard, Yu Qiao's face was filled with joy. She liked this and was most satisfied with the newly built "Moon Holding". Obviously, "Lan Yue" is embracing her, the moon. This almost explicit expression of love makes Yu Qiao especially happy.
"Husband, can I write down the poem you gave me and hang it in the main room of "Lan Yue" as a nave?"
"Zhongtang? Wouldn't it be a bit monotonous for just one poem?"
"Husband, you look down on people! I am pretty good at painting, especially birds. How about I draw a picture of two birds in flight and a pair of well-married flowers and trees? It should be worthy of my husband's words, right?"
Shen Hao smiled and said: "Yes, I like you."
When Yu Qiao heard this, she smiled back, very sweetly, but there was still a hint of sadness in her eyes, which was not hidden from Shen Hao's eyes. It's just that Shen Hao didn't ask too much. There are some things that don't need to be guessed. They are obvious and need to be figured out by Yu Qiao himself.
Where did the sadness in Yu Qiao's eyes come from? Naturally, it comes from the moon door that separates the entire Shen Mansion’s backyard.
To the left of the Moon Gate is "Lan Yue", and on the right is a building complex that is significantly smaller than "Lan Yue", which also has a name, called "Huan Xiang".
When you embrace the moon, you naturally embrace the moon Yu Qiao.
Of course, the person who returned the fragrance was the singer Lianxiang who had been waiting for Shen Hao to follow him after his wedding.
Shen Hao knew these metaphors, and everyone in the Shen family knew them. Yu Qiao reacted instantly after seeing them.
The sorrow and resentment in Yu Qiao's heart came from this "Returning Fragrance Garden". She had never thought that Shen Hao would split the backyard in two in advance. A moon gate and two courtyards with unique names are obviously meant to divide the backyard of Shen Mansion into two unrelated sides.
After much thought, Yu Qiao thought that this was her husband setting boundaries for her. What this means is: You don’t have the final say in everything in the backyard. You can’t control the beauty of the other side after your “moon-hugging”.
This is undoubtedly restricting the rights of Yu Qiao, the head of the family. It can be said that Shen Hao, the head of the family, has long hands. He was also too doting on his unmarried concubine.
what to do?
Yu Qiao had a smile on her face, but felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She just came over and actually saw this happening. Does this count as setting rules for her as the head of the house?
Is this a rule? If you ask Shen Hao, Shen Hao will definitely say: Forget it!
Unlike people who are deeply influenced by the customs of this world, Shen Hao does not feel that his family needs another eldest woman to help him manage his concubines and slaves. The eldest woman can manage the family's belongings to a certain extent and organize household chores. But people and things that dare not be moved cannot be messed with.
In Shen Hao's opinion, only he can touch his own woman, and no one else has this right. I also hope that Yu Qiao will make a smart choice after seeing the two separate courtyards of "Huanxiang" and "Lanyue".
If Yu Qiao insists on taking advantage of Shen Hao's other women, then Shen Hao is really not prepared to be polite. As for the rules, he, Shen Hao, is the rules of the Shen family.
Of course, Shen Hao would not just take away all the rights that Yu Qiao should have as a doctor.
In the accounting room, Shen Hao, in front of Yu Qiao, asked Hu Tian to briefly describe the current various incomes of Shen's house, and at the same time told Hu Tian that Yu Qiao would take care of these financial matters from now on. , unless there is a major change, there is no need to bother him anymore.
At the same time, he also gave Yu Qiao all the names of people who had frequent contacts with the family. For example, Jiang Cheng, the governor of Jingxi Town, often needs to move around. There are also several confidants, such as Wang Jian, Wang Yiming, etc. These relationships also need to be maintained. Shen Hao didn't have a wife before, but now he has one. This relationship naturally requires the wives of both parties to move around and deepen their contact.
In the end, Yu Qiao was even given the key to the underground treasure house of Shen Mansion, and was also informed of the methods of entering and exiting the magic circle.
"At present, apart from you and me, only Lao Hu can enter these treasure houses. If you want anything in the future, just go in and get it yourself."
After this explanation, Yu Qiao's hangover was finally put down again. Shen Hao has basically finished explaining the rights of the housewife, except for getting to the Moon Gate.
Compared with running a huge Shen mansion, it is obvious that the things in the backyard are not so important at once.
If you hold on to your family's belongings, how can the women around your husband turn the world upside down? Yu Qiao thought.
But being a housekeeper is not that easy. Yu Qiao has received relevant education from the Yu family since she was a child. Regarding the main accounts, she must not only be able to read but also be able to do it, so that at least she will not be deceived. Then there are the various overt and covert rules, as well as the various business practices of the family.
Of course, it's one thing to have learned it, but it's another thing to want to do it yourself. Therefore, even if the entry and exit of Shen's property is not complicated, it is not easy to figure it out just by listening to it. It is necessary for Yu Qiao to review the accounts with Hu Tian and then learn from Hu Tian for a period of time.
I just came back today, and it's not yet time for Yu Qiao and Hu Tian to officially hand over. After that, Shen Hao led Yu Qiao to the treasure house at home, while Hu Tian accompanied him and answered some of Yu Qiao's questions from time to time. Because it involves the family's belongings, there are many things that Shen Hao can't explain clearly, so Hu Tian has to explain them.
As a result, Yu Qiao discovered that the most abundant items in Shen Hao's treasure house were actually gold, silver and a large number of strange yin jades. It was said that collecting yin jades was her husband's biggest hobby. Next are some seafood, the least of which are calligraphy, painting and antiques. This does not seem to be commensurate with the collection of a "big writer", but more like a money warehouse of a businessman's family.
"By the way, Master Shen, some of the wedding gifts have been sent here, and some will be shipped from Xinliang City in the next few days. Do you need to take a look now?" Coming out of the treasure house, Hu Tian suddenly remembered He quickly reported the matter at hand to Shen Hao.
Shen Hao nodded and said, "Make a list and put it in the study. I will read it when I have time. You and your wife can discuss the rest."
