Sun and Lu Zhenzhen looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and shook their heads.
Mrs. Hu didn't have this kind of personality before. It's probably because of her pregnancy. Why did she become so straightforward and hostile to Mrs. Zhao?
Sun was afraid that Zhao would turn against her, so the two of them started fighting at the door of Ruixuan Hall.
Fortunately, although Zhao was angry, she was still rational.
He stamped his feet and walked away.
Only then did Mrs. Hu walk over slowly like a proud little rooster that had won a battle. "Hmph, if I wasn't pregnant, what would she have done? If you could be more low-key and not dance in front of me, I would have let it go!"
"You're provoking me so early in the morning! Who do you think I am?"
Seeing her with her hands on her hips like a teapot, Lu Zhenzhen suppressed her laughter and tried to persuade her a few times before finally getting her to go home.
Zhao returned to Lanyue Courtyard angrily.
Jinzhu and Yinzhu, who were following behind her, were silent.
After entering the house and drinking a bowl of cold tea, Zhao complained angrily: "Did you see that? My eldest sister-in-law is targeting me. The three of them are ganging up on me! They all think she's pregnant with a boy, so they're trying to curry favor with her! Bah—"
Yinzhu was helpless, feeling that her third grandmother's temper was becoming more and more left-wing.
The eldest grandmother is now pregnant with twins. The most precious people in the mansion are all hoping that this baby will be a boy. Everyone in the mansion almost worships the eldest grandmother.
And if the eldest grandmother hadn't been pregnant, the purchasing rights would not have fallen into the hands of the third grandmother, right?
You should be feeling grateful and thankful at this time, why do you have to provoke the grandmother?
To put it bluntly, not to mention that the third grandmother is only in charge of purchasing now, she is in charge of the entire mansion and will wait until the eldest grandmother gives birth to the child and is out of confinement.
This stewardship must be handed back.
By then, I will still have to make a living from my great-grandmother.
Why do you have to do things to the extreme and offend people at this time?
Are you afraid that the eldest grandmother will make things difficult for them, the third room?
After thinking about it, I decided that I absolutely couldn't say anything wrong about Third Grandma at this moment, and I had to go along with Mao's advice.
"Third Madam, I think the eldest Madam is unhappy! After all, she is no longer in charge of the family, and you, Third Madam, are in charge of all the purchases for the entire mansion! Without your order, we don't know where the family's food and drink expenses will come from!"
"Grandma didn't let you get involved before because she was probably worried that if you took over, Third Grandma, you would handle everything perfectly and wouldn't be able to show off your abilities."
"Grandma is targeting you today, I'm afraid she's worried about you!"
"Third Madam, we are not fighting for the steamed buns, but for our dignity. You have to do this shopping beautifully and respectably, better than the first Madam, to show your ability!"
"Let the people in the mansion see that you are a housekeeper as capable as the eldest lady!"
These words made Zhao laugh: "You are good at talking! But you are right. Doesn't Hu Qingyun look down on me? I have to make a name for myself and let her see it! Although my Zhao family is not as good as her Pingguo Mansion, the family education of the Zhao family's daughters is no worse than that of the Hu family! Humph -"
With Zhao's words, Yinzhu felt relieved.
As long as my third grandmother focuses on purchasing things without making mistakes in the next year or two and does a better job than my eldest grandmother, there will probably be less trouble.
As a personal maid, she has really tried her best!
After Zhao said this, she heard Jinzhu report that the purchasing manager's wife was waiting outside.
Instead, he raised the corner of his mouth: "You know the rules and know to come and see me."
Nodding: "Call them all in!"
Naturally, a little girl came out to pass on the message.
Several wives of the housekeepers who were in charge of purchasing were waiting outside Lanyue Courtyard early, waiting to meet him.
But when Zhao came back, she was so angry that she didn't pay any attention at all.
These ladies in charge are not stupid. Seeing the expression on Third Madam's face, they wouldn't dare to go up to her and cause trouble, right?
At this moment, they were communicating with each other, looked at each other, straightened their clothes, and then came inside.
These ladies in charge had met Third Madam Zhao on a daily basis, and their previous attitude was probably just superficial respect.
Now that Zhao was in charge of purchasing, the ladies in charge had also lowered their status and bowed to Zhao as soon as they came in, and they were full of compliments.
Soon Zhao was made happy.
Zhao was still quite reserved. After laughing, she gestured to give each of the housekeepers a small stool to sit on.
Several housekeepers thanked Zhao, but only dared to show half their respect.
Zhao just said a few polite words and gave a few warnings, the gist of which was that she would be in charge of purchasing from now on, and everyone had to be of the same mind as her and listen to her instructions. It would be good for you, for me, and for everyone.
Several housekeepers were very supportive and stood up to express that they would definitely be of one mind with Third Madam, listen to her instructions, and do their job well!
Although Zhao had never formally managed the household, she knew that these ladies in charge were only there to look at her and be obedient.
In fact, he is quite cunning.
But as for this housekeeper, as long as they listen to me, there is no need to get to the bottom of it for the time being.
Anyway, there is still a long time, so just wait and see, and then pick out the useful ones to reuse.
So I just smiled and pretended to be fooled.
When the housekeepers saw Zhao like this, they were happy. It seemed that she was easy to fool.
They had already heard from their husbands that letting the third grandmother take charge of the purchasing work was because the eldest master wanted to subsidize the third master and let the third grandmother make more money under this name.
So their requirements for Zhao were quite low.
Zhao will definitely receive respect and benefits, they just hope that she won't interfere or give orders and cause trouble for them.
The master and the servant each had their own thoughts, but the smiles on their faces were more sincere than the other.
Then Zhao made a request: "Grandma is pregnant and wants to eat Feilong soup and the fresh osmanthus and chicken head rice soup from Gusu. Whoever is responsible for buying the ingredients should go out and buy them quickly. Don't keep Grandma waiting."
The housekeeper in charge of buying food came out with a bitter look on her face. "This servant is in charge of buying food. Gusu is nearly a thousand miles away from the capital. Where can we find fresh chicken head rice? Even if there is, it is frozen and sent to the capital. It is specially presented as tribute to the palace. How can we see it outside?"
"And the flying dragon. We need fresh flying dragon to make the soup. Flying dragons are hard to find, and fresh ones are even harder to find. I'm afraid—"
Zhao glared at them. "As long as you're willing to spend money, with the reputation of our family, how difficult can it be to buy some food? You guys go find a way. If you can't buy the food and it makes Grandma angry, not to mention her, even I won't forgive you!"
The lady in charge of purchasing had no choice but to agree.
Zhao hadn't even finished reading the account book yesterday. Today, she showed off in front of the housekeeper's family and then waved her hand to signal the housekeeper's wife that if everything was fine, they could all leave.
The female managers looked at each other, and the one in charge of purchasing ingredients took her leave first to go find a way.
The remaining few did not dare to stay any longer and followed out one after another.
