Chapter 224 New rules

　　After Zhang family left, Gu Xun led Gu Xiran to the study to explain some business matters. He (GX) told him (GXR) about some of the situations that could happen in a business and the experience that he had learned from doing business over the years.

　　Shu Huan also suddenly became busy. Servants from various parts of the house went back and forth to report to her and when they needed some things, they all sought her. She knew in her heart that this must be Lin s.h.i.+ putting on airs. She (L) wanted to embarra.s.s her (SH) and make her unable to build authority in the residence. Otherwise, the transfer of the housekeeper's affairs could be as slow and gradual as the transfer of business by Gu Xun and not threw everything to her at once when she had no clue about various situations at all.

　　Shang Xin watched her (SH) being busy, she felt injustice for her and said, "Madam is too much. It's obvious that she's trying to make things difficult for you!"

　　Meijing also said, "If only old madam's illness isn’t so serious, we can still ask her for advice, but now…."

　　"What's the use of saying these?" Liangchen interrupted. "It's better to think about how to handle these matters for second young mistress so that people can't find mistakes."

　　Meijing's face became bitter and said, "Big sister Liangchen, you're taking it lightly. We were all serving in the inner residence, doing things like fetching and pa.s.sing things, and reporting back and forth-work. I have never seen how old madam or madam manage the house affairs at all. How do we come up with a solution at this moment?"

　　Liangchen said again, "Then keep an eye and learn carefully. Quietly pay attention to what the people inside the residence are talking about. If we can know what those people are thinking, second young mistress can handle things more smoothly."

　　Shu Huan was sitting at the window at this moment. She was holding a writing brush in her hand and biting the end of the brush, thinking about something. After hearing their dispute, she turned her head and said, "That's right!"

　　"What?" Meijing hurriedly moved forward. "What idea did second young mistress come up with?"

　　Shu Huan shook her head and said, "How can it be so easy? I just remembered Qiaoyun. Who wants to go bring her here?"

　　"Big sister Qiaoyun?" Meijing frowned and said, "She's not tight-lipped, what if…."

　　"It’s all right. You go find her. I'll just let her inquire about some information. She won't be used for anything else." As Shu Huan said that, she also became optimistic. She had so many maids on hand, each one with their own specialties. Naturally, she had to make the best use of them. Otherwise, wouldn’t she be exhausted to death with only her being busy and attempting all tasks at once?

　　Seriously speaking, she had a carefree character so she didn’t like housekeeping but she knew that it was like a job. If she hadn't gone through time-travelling, she would have to find a job to support her family after she had graduated from school. This was necessary for survival. There was no saying in whether she liked it or not. Besides, it was clear with the current situation. If she wanted to live a good life, she must fight side by side with Gu Xiran and make herself stronger first, so that she wouldn’t be at the mercy of others and be pa.s.sive all time.

　　To create a warm and comfortable environment for the happy life in the future and so that Gu Xiran would no longer have worries, this was what she must do and it was also her duty as a wife. She truly wanted to be lazy, ah! First, she had to understand the situation at home and then groom a few smart and capable maids, so that she could relax in the future with all things under her control.
