Chapter 163: House rules
Mrs. Gong's heart trembled, and she hurriedly said respectfully, "Back to the elder girl, the old lady of the Cui family celebrated her fiftieth birthday a few years ago, and the gift list sent by her family was more than twice as much as this one. Uncle Ningyuan's mansion can't do it with you." Compared with the eldest girl’s maternal ancestor’s family, the slaves and servants decided on their own, and the reduction was 50%.”
"It's still too much!" Xie Zhiwei handed the gift list to Zi Mo, "Let's redraw it! The Xie family and the Cui family have intersected for generations, and the relationship between bones and tendons is not all because of my maternal ancestor's family. Besides, A few years ago, on my grandmother's birthday, I remember that the gift list was not drafted at the beginning, and later this matter was handed over to the outer court, not all from the public."
Xie Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Mrs. Gong, saw the paleness on her face, and said coldly, "Although I am young, I have not been able to hide the family affairs from me. The gift list of Uncle Ningyuan's mansion, no matter Why can't it be thicker than the Yuan family's? On the Yuan family's gift list, it will be reduced by half!"
Grandma Gong made a plop, knelt down, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, big girl!"
Xie Zhiwei ignored her, but looked at the next person, "I remember you are Mrs. Feng who is in charge of the warehouse, right?"
Aunt Feng hurriedly came forward to salute, "My servant greets the young lady, the young lady really has a good memory."
As she said that, she handed over all the account books of the warehouse's entry and exit these days. After Xie Zhiwei read it, she said, "The Xie family respects the most rules. No matter people or things in this world, they are divided into different categories. Seniors and juniors are different. Preface, I remember that there is no season change now, why did you bring out these few vases from the previous dynasty?"
Xie Zhiwei pointed to the last few lines of records with his slender fingers and asked.
Aunt Feng was already drenched in cold sweat, she said tremblingly, "Yes, Nanny Jin took the people from Magnolia Court to get it."
Xie Zhiwei threw the account book out, and said coldly, "Ms. Feng is also an old man in the family. When will everyone in the family be able to take out the things given by the royal family from the previous dynasty? Are there any rules in this family anymore?" ?”
Lady Feng closed her eyes, kowtowed and said, "This servant is confused, and this servant is ineffective, please punish me, Miss!"
"Take the things back and go to the family law hall to receive the punishment!"
Family Rules Hall?
Everyone in the auditorium gasped, and everyone's expression turned cold again, and they were all trembling.
How many years has it been since the door of the Xie family’s family planning hall has been opened? Since the old lady was in charge of the house, it had been useless. Later, the conferment was passed on to the second wife. After several older nuns in charge went, the seven nuns in charge of the family regulation hall were all gone.
Nurse Tian reminded, "Miss, there are not many nuns left to enforce the house rules in the family regulation hall. Please ask Miss to point out a few people to go in so that we can do things."
Xie Zhiwei thought for a while, "Human, you and Madam Qiu will make up for it first, because there is one room in each room, since the old lady and the second aunt feel that there is no need for the family rules hall, there is no need to choose people from there. For the rest, I remember that there are two honored mothers, and I asked them to recommend one person to come to me, and then Aunt Tian went to the third aunt's side after a hard trip, and asked the third room to send one. people."
"Your servant obeys!" Tian Nanny was very respectful.
Xie Zhiwei swept across the crowd, "There is no rule without rules. The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. From now on, if anyone commits a crime, the nuns of the family rule hall will discuss and make a ruling together. If there is something that cannot be ruled, report Ma'am, the family rules of the Xie family are inviolable, you are all elders in the family, I don't need to say more about the rules!"
Everyone took orders and expressed their opinions that they would strictly abide by the family rules in the future. Many people were relieved, there are rules, and doing things according to the rules is the most worry-free.
He also said a few other things, and the day's affairs were dealt with.
Xie Zhiwei came out of the Listening Hall, turned a corner, walked into the corridor, and Bai Ling came up, saw that there were people leaning on the courtyard, and said in a low voice, "Girl guess, it happened in Chunhui Hall." What?"
Xie Zhiwei was amused, "I just asked you to stay to find out the news, and you came to test me now?"
Zi Mo said angrily, "Little Hoof, don't hesitate to tell the girl. The girl is so tired now, how can she have the energy to play riddles with you? Could it be that you still want me to pour you a cup of tea before you are willing to say it?"
Bai Ling hurriedly said, "Good sister, is it okay if I'm wrong? I'm really shocked too!"
"Girl, you bite me one by one, are you going to die?"
"Good sister, don't interrupt." Bai Ling took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in his heart, "Who would have thought of it? Wasn't Ning Yuanbo's mansion a happy event with our family two days ago? It’s hot, only today did someone from Ningyuan’s residence come to report that Mr. Xue has been sent to Zhao Prison!”
"When did this happen, have you found out clearly?"
"The slave girl found out that it was the day when the girl came out of the palace. I heard that at nightfall, the Dongchang fans surrounded the Xue family and searched the Xue family inside and out. I heard that the female family members of the Xue family You made a big fool of yourself that night, Miss Xue came out wearing only a coat and a cloak, shivering from the cold."
"Get to the point!" Xie Zhiwei gave the girl a bad look.
"Yes, girl!" Bai Ling said vividly about what he had inquired about, "There are rumors outside that the Xue family's title is probably lost."
Xie Zhiwei turned his head and said to Gan Tang who was playing behind him, "Gan Tang, you go and find Nanny Gong, and just say what I said, something happened to the Xue family, early next month, Mrs. Xue I'm afraid we won't be able to hold a birthday banquet, and the two families will not communicate for the time being, so there is no need to prepare birthday gifts!"
Xie Zhiwei gave Bailing an order, and then went back to Yizhaoyuan. She hadn't done anything for a long time, and although she was quick to learn, she was really tired after half a day.
Nanny Tian went back to Fuyun Courtyard first, and happily told about Xie Zhiwei's killing in the listening hall, with a red light on her face, she said, "The madam didn't see the majesty of the eldest girl, the one look in her eyes When we got down, those nuns in charge who used to have eyes on their foreheads were too frightened to make a sound."
Yuan Shi was naturally very happy, "I don't worry about her at all, I just know that she is better than me!"
Mother Tian said to herself, she didn't know who it was, she was afraid that the elder girl would not be able to restrain the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, so she asked herself to keep an eye on them, but now she said she was not afraid.
Mammy Tian didn't mention Xie Zhiweicha's falling of the eldest wife, she can see now that the eldest girl is not indifferent to the eldest lady, and she watched Yanmei coldly, she naturally saw some clues Come on, seeing Yanmei passing by the window, she raised her voice, "The eldest girl wants to marry Yanmei from the wife's room..."
