After receiving the letter, all the maids came to the main room as soon as possible, without anyone's instructions, they stood in three neat rows according to their positions, and when Yu Miaoqi came over, they took the initiative to report their names and the scope of the department, with a very respectful attitude.

Yu Miaoqi thought that these people would join hands to give her a slap in the face, and then she would be able to take a few thorns out of the way to cook, and then quickly gained a firm foothold in the Hou residence. But I didn't expect them to be so well-trained and follow the rules. Didn't Yu Xiang secretly instruct them to stumble upon him?

I had thought so well and thoughtful before, but when I saw these disciplined and respectful stewards, I felt so aggrieved. It was as if he threw a punch and hit the air, and he felt like he wanted to hit the ground. Yu Miaoqi took a few deep breaths while drinking tea to regain her normal mind.

Lin shi didn't think about it that much, and only said a few words about my cooperation with the housekeepers in the future, and then turned to look at her daughter and asked her to take out the drafted articles of association.

This time, Yu Miaoqi was not in a hurry to change the rules set by Yu Xiang, and only said two points: First, there is no need to randomly check the memorization of family rules every month in the future, everyone just knows what to do. Second, even sweeping the floor, chopping firewood, and fetching water had to elect a team leader, and the management staff in the house was too redundant. From now on, the group system will be abolished, and all matters will be handled by the corresponding stewards. At the end, ask everyone for their opinions.

Yu Miaoqi also has her own concerns about making these two changes. One is to let everyone relax to show the kindness of the new master; the other is to win over people's hearts, especially the stewards whose powers suddenly increase; the third is to save the allowances distributed to each team leader , in order to reduce costs.

She didn't dare to make big moves as soon as she came, so as not to lose people's hearts, but secretly formulated small steps, trying to achieve them one by one within three to five months.

Not having to memorize family rules is naturally a good thing, and no one is against it. Although the team leader has a monthly allowance, he is also responsible for the mistakes made by the team members. On weekdays, there is a lot of pressure. In addition, they are not at the level of management, and they can't see the master. Even if they have an opinion, they can't raise it.

Seeing the silence of everyone, Yu Miaoqi pretended that everyone agreed, and said that there was nothing to do, and then retired. Everyone was naturally fine, and they left one after another after saluting. The first fire of this new official's appointment was considered to be burning silently.

Lin was very impressed with her daughter's intelligence and ability, and bluntly said that if she handed over the family to her daughter, there would be no trouble, so she could rest assured, and then walked into the inner hall and continued to reminisce on the tablet.

In the West Wing courtyard, someone immediately informed Liu Lu of Yu Miaoqi's actions, and Liu Lu reported it to Yu Xiang.

"No trouble? It's only temporary." Yu Xiang smiled contemptuously while snoring, "I rule the house like iron? Generally, if she has no place to intervene, it will naturally break the rules I set, and then Slowly support your cronies. As long as I manage the errands well, the servants at the same level will be treated the same, and those with excellent ability will have the opportunity to be promoted. I don’t care about any background or connections. But she can’t be as fair as me. If you run away, you have to feed the horse. She feeds her cronies, so she will naturally starve others. When others are hungry, they will be jealous, and jealous will cause trouble. Sooner or later, we will be in the house. It's like a blindfolded donkey. You only need to whip the whip and it will focus on grinding. One day you take off the blindfold and let it see this colorful world. It can still care about you? Ladu can't pull it back."

Taohong was stunned when she heard it, and asked, "Miss, don't you care? Anyway, give her a wake-up call! No one can please anyone if there is chaos in the house."

Liu Lu glared at her with contempt, and silently said "silly girl" with her mouth.

Yu Xiang scratched his scalp with the tip of a needle, and said lightly, "Silly girl, I can understand it, but the ancestors can't understand it. Yu Miaoqi's mistakes are also the same as Lin's mistakes, and the ancestors are waiting to catch Lin's handle. Think about how many of the seven rules she has committed? Disobedience to her parents, aunts, children, jealousy, talkative, she was abandoned long ago in other homes, and her ancestors were soft-hearted, and they have not been able to do anything over the years. Come on, then let her go. Just wait and see, if they stabbed the basket this time, the ancestors will not forgive her lightly. One will leave; the other will either be locked up for a few years, or married far away."

Tao Hong was speechless and didn't dare to say more.

In the main courtyard, the old lady also got the letter, knowing that Yu Miaoqi didn't make a big move, and only abolished two rules that were neither too light nor too important, so she sighed at Ma Ma, "I think she has a lot of scheming, but she is also short-sighted. These two abolished rules are indeed irrelevant, but she did not think deeply: those servants are controlled all year round, and there is a clear division of labor for what they do. There is no conclusion about who is responsible for that matter, but don’t you confuse the servants? If you push me, I push you, no one will do the errands, and sooner or later there will be trouble in the house. It’s like a horse galloping with its stomach clamped. If you suddenly let go of the power holding it down, it will inevitably slap its hooves and fall over when it relaxes in an instant. Management is also a science, and its principles are similar to those of running a country. If governance is rigorous, the world will be clear, and if governance is biased, it will lead to chaos. There are many elephants. Yu Miaoqi can’t compare to Xiang’er!”

Ma Ma agreed, "That's natural. After all, Miss Xiang'er was taught by you and Hou Ye, and ordinary people can't compare."

The old lady's mood slowed down a little, and she pondered in a low voice, "The Shen family is a businessman after all, and the knowledge is shallow, so the children they teach are really incapable of doing it."

Mammy nodded yes.

What the two of them didn't know was that it wasn't that the Shen family didn't know how to discipline them, but they didn't dare to discipline them. Looking at Shen Yuanqi alone, it was extremely outstanding among thousands of people. In the end, Yu Miaoqi was held up too high by the Shen family, and she was accidentally killed by the Shen family, which is what she is now.

Because Yu Miaoqi's methods were gentle and gradual, and she secretly searched for cronies who could support her, there was no trouble in the Houfu for the next half-month, and she gradually relaxed her heartstrings.

On this day, Yu Siyu, who was hiding in the house without leaving home, suddenly came to the door and brought many gifts. Yu Miaoqi smiled and let her into the room, and there was no grudge in her actions.

Yu Siyu exchanged a few words, then Ai Ai said, "Sister, it's not that my sister is coveting her mother's dowry, it's really a gift from the elders. If I insist on rejecting it, the ancestors will not be more angry? I have no choice, mother. Don't blame me?"

How could Lin Shi not be surprised? Afterwards, Yu Miaoqi, who learned about the value of several shops and farmhouses, also had blood in her heart and wanted to eat Yu Siyu raw.

Yu Miaoqi drank tea with her eyes down, and spoke again with an indescribably kind and hearty tone, "How can my mother blame my sister. My mother has been negligent towards my sister over the years, and this time I have done my part to add makeup to my sister. We need to prepare a generous gift for my sister, in order to show the love of our sisters."

Yu Siyu was greatly moved and held her hand in admiration, "It's still a caring little sister, unlike Yu Xiang, who is cold-hearted and cold-hearted."

Yu Miaoqi covered her lips and smiled lightly.

The two continued to chat, and when they were about to leave, Yu Siyu said, "I heard that my sister is now in charge of the family. If I am too busy, I can help. My sister also knows that I will leave the cabinet in a year and a half, and it is time to learn how to manage. Feedback."

"Hasn't my sister studied before? Ordinary people's daughters started to study at the age of seven or eight." Yu Miaoqi pretended to be surprised.

With tears in Yu Siyu's eyes, he pointed to the west wing, then pointed to the main courtyard, and complained in a low voice, "This one is domineering, one is selfish and eccentric, I am trying to survive in the cracks, how to learn my true skills, but it's just a waste of time. ."

"Good sister, that sister will rely on you a lot in the future." Yu Miaoqi agreed without saying a word. After sending Yu Siyu away, she immediately lowered her face, sent the little girls away, and called Jin Ma to come.

"Have the people you sent to Yangzhou sent back any news? When will you be able to get Yu Siyu away? I see her as an eyesore." After the farce in Zizhengyuan, Yu Miaoqi was too lazy to pretend to be virtuous and gentle, and made her tricky in the Shen family. Ingenuity is revealed.

Mammy Jin didn't feel disappointed, but was happy to see it succeed. Madam was unreliable, the second young lady should have been stronger, so she smiled, "Second miss, I just got the news, the Fang family's mother and son have been persuaded, and are rushing to the capital, presumably they will arrive in seven or eight days."

"There are still seven or eight days? Don't make any mistakes." Yu Miaoqi rubbed her eyebrows.

Mammy Jin waved her hand quickly, "There's nothing wrong with that. The mother and son are very depressed now, let alone a full meal, there's no place to shelter from the wind and rain. It seems that they can't live anymore, and they can't catch up. Living with Yu Siyu as a life-saving straw? They are more anxious than us."

"It's just right, I'll reward you when this happens. Also, let you find some trusted servants to support you, do you have any ideas?"

"It's going to take a while. Don't worry, miss, the power is in your hands. You don't need us to search hard, and someone will naturally come to your door."

"makes sense."

The two were talking together, but someone outside the house said, "Second Miss, Chunmei and Dongshui are asking to see you."

Yu Miaoqi looked at Mammy Jin with inquiring eyes.

Mammy Jin introduced in a low voice, "These two maids who were originally given to Lord Hou by the old lady, were somehow sent to the sewing room by the third lady. It's been almost four years, and they have no respect for Lord Hou. I haven't seen you. Lord Hou doesn't care, and the old lady will not stand up for them. They are seeing you in charge of the family, so please come here. I just said you don't need to worry, no, they'll find them automatically."

Yu Miaoqi nodded slightly, pondered for a moment and then said, "Tell your mother, transfer them back to the eldest brother's yard, one to wash and the other to serve the writing and ink. The eldest brother has already been crowned, and he can't even have a bed warmer. People are laughing." It was time to find some beautiful concubines to distract Yu Pinyan, but it was better to let him marry a wife quickly, with wives and concubines full of children, how could he still have the heart to take care of Yu Xiang? At that time, I am afraid that even the old lady will not care about her.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was feasible. She grabbed Mammy Jin who was about to leave and asked, "Is there a betrothed eldest brother?"

"It's fixed," Mammy Jin nodded. "I decided to marry a baby before she was born, and the other party is the young lady of the Yasukuni Palace. It's just that she is doing filial piety right now, which has delayed the marriage." Mammy Jin accompanied Lin's family all day. Losing her authority again, her eyes and ears are naturally not as agile as before, and she did not receive any news that the old lady and Yu Pinyan wanted to quit their relationship.

Not to mention her, even most of the servants didn't know the master's plan, and even thought that Chang Yafu would enter the door after removing her clothes.

Yu Miaoqi thought for a moment, then asked, "How long will she be filial?"

"It won't be long until the end of next month." Mammy Jin pointed to the end.

"Okay, I see, you can take Chunmei and Dongshui to your mother's place." Yu Miaoqi dismissed the golden mama, and couldn't help but smile, thinking that her new daughter-in-law would be in charge of the central feeder when she entered the house, she lowered her face and thought about it. How to deal with it.

However, as long as the Lin family doesn't let go, the daughter-in-law can't forcefully grab it, and if Yu Pinyan gets a few more concubines, the daughter-in-law of the Yasukuni Palace will not have the time to take care of her. Yu Miaoqi leaned on the back of the chair, with many thoughts running through her mind, her expression slowly changed from hesitation to firmness.
