Chapter 258 Virtuous and capable people

  One He Xiaodie left, and Yu Zhi collapsed for several days. Even if you raise a cat, you will have feelings after a long time, let alone a human.

Well, she admitted that she didn't just want a bodyguard when she saw He Xiaodie, but wanted to train a manager who could walk outside for her. Pomegranate and Lianwu had good abilities, but they couldn't Martial arts, walking outside is doomed to lack confidence.

  Meeting He Xiaodie, Yu Zhi's eyes lit up. Knowing martial arts, there is a fierce light in his eyes, if you let it out, you will not suffer. The most important thing is that you are young, only fourteen years old, and you can still teach it if you put in the effort.

  As much hope, so much disappointment.

Soon Yu Zhi had no time to worry about it. She and Wen Jiuxiao moved to the Pingbei Hou Mansion. Even if there was no housewarming banquet, they had to invite guests to tell everyone in Beijing that they opened the mansion alone, and let everyone adapt to their new identities.

  Banquets are nothing more than eating, drinking, having fun, and having fun. Don’t you all think that her background is not good? Many people are probably already secretly poking and waiting to see her joke, how can she let people read the joke? You have to slap your face back.

  Even if she is a little lazy, a little more straightforward, and lives a little more freely, she still has the ability to sit firmly in the seat of Mrs. Hou, and she won't embarrass Wen Jiuxiao.

  If you want to hold a banquet, you must have your own highlights. Yu Zhi has already thought about it. What she is best at is growing flowers, so please come and enjoy the flowers. It's still cold and cold, and the flowers haven't bloomed yet, but the flowers in Pingbei Hou's Mansion can bloom! She can really create a sea of ​​flowers for them.

   As for where the flowers come from? Isn't there one in the flower room in the big courtyard in the east of the city? not enough? It's enough to give birth, and Xiaolu should also do some work.

  With the scene, tea, snacks, and dishes are also easy to handle. Tea leaves follow the trend, after all, Mrs. Xiaowen of her family is an upright official and cannot afford the best quality tea. Desserts and dishes can use one's brains, soft cakes, milky milk squares, a woman can't refuse, right? By the way, there is also milk tea, young girls must like it.

  As for the dishes, you can’t focus on delicacies from mountains and seas. For ordinary ingredients, you just need to work **** the taste and presentation. It looks delicious and doesn't feel luxurious. It not only highlights the ability and ingenuity of her as the hostess, but also does not cause trouble for her family Xiaowen.

  Perfect, she is such a smart and capable wife.

  Yu Zhi spent two days writing a proposal with dozens of pages in length, with pictures and text, and all aspects were considered.

  Wen Jiuxiao looked at Yu Zhi for a long time, speechless. This woman is usually lazy. What she is most interested in is eating and drinking to make herself happy. He knew she was smart, but he didn't expect her to be so smart. Obviously she has never learned how to be a housekeeper, but whether she lived in Marquis Wu'an's Mansion before or now, the servants are well-behaved and there has been no trouble.

  She has only been a guest with her mother a few times, and now she can even host a banquet without a teacher. The plan she wrote was so thoughtful that it couldn't even compare to the master Qian Liang who had accumulated years of experience. If she was born as a man, she would definitely be in charge of an official seal.

   "Very good!" Wen Jiuxiao praised.

  Yu Zhi said: "Now there are two problems. One is that our mansion is short of manpower, and I am going to borrow people from my mother. The other is that I don't recognize all the ladies and wives who came here."

   It's not just that she can't recognize them all, she doesn't know a few at all. Of course, there are also people who are impressed, for example, Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Shoufu's wife, and her daughter Qin Lan, and Bai Zhenzhu who spoke ill of her behind her back.

  Wen Jiuxiao didn't speak, waiting for her to continue. Since she can write such a comprehensive plan, she will definitely have a countermeasure.

Sure enough, I heard her say: "Originally, this is the first time I organize a banquet, and I should invite my mother or sister-in-law to accompany the guests, but I don't want to bother them both." Yu Zhi's eyes were very frank, "After all, it is Whether it is mother or sister-in-law, they represent the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion at the banquet in Pingbeihou Mansion. Although they are a family, they are not easy to mix together. Third Master, what do you think?"

  She is the hostess of the Pingbei Hou Mansion. As long as the mother-in-law or sister-in-law helps her welcome the guests that day, her efforts will be in vain. No matter how successful the banquet is, others will only think that it is the mother-in-law or sister-in-law. Because they didn't trust her to throw a party.

  Since Yu Zhi has worked hard, he will not let others pick the fruits of his labor.

Wen Jiuxiao nodded, "Mother needs to be a housekeeper, and sister-in-law needs to take care of elder brother and sister Hui. There is also a pregnant woman in their room, so they have nothing to do." He has already married and started a business and lives alone. Naturally, he doesn't want to interfere with the affairs of his house. Things like, "What does that twig mean?"

  Yu Zhi said: "I want to borrow Mama Wang from my mother's side. It's enough for her to remind me to recognize someone."

   "Yes." Wen Jiuxiao felt that this method is feasible, "Do you want me to tell my mother?"

"No need." Yu Zhi refused, "I'll just tell my mother, you don't have to worry about the inner house." If he went to tell his mother-in-law, she would definitely have a problem with her again, and she would beat her up again , how can you let the man worry about the inner house?

   When the time comes, she will definitely pretend not to understand, and it will be the mother-in-law who is holding her breath. Forget it, she'd better be a good daughter-in-law and be less angry with her mother-in-law.

  Wen Jiuxiao looked at the smile that suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, although he didn't know what she was smiling at, but intuitively, he guessed what she must be thinking at the moment.

  Mrs. Hou must be worried about such a big event at her son's house. She is especially worried about the third daughter-in-law.

   "You..." Mrs. Hou just started, and Yu Zhi presented the plan, "This is just a little opinion of my daughter-in-law. Mother will see if it fits, and if there is anything else that needs to be added or modified."

   Madam Hou watched very carefully for more than half an hour. Yu Zhi was neither in a hurry nor impatient, sitting at the side eating snacks, leisurely.

  After Madam Hou finished reading, she looked at Yu Zhi scrutinizingly, "You thought it yourself?"

  The entire banquet process, how to arrange where, how many people to use, who is responsible for what...all are clear. Not to mention a person who has never organized a banquet, even Mrs. Hou herself, she may not be so thoughtful.

Yu Zhi nodded calmly, "Yes! What's so difficult about it? My daughter-in-law and mother went to visit a few times, and found that it was nothing more than admiring the scenery. Everyone ate, drank and talked together. If you like to play, prepare toys. , and those who like to write poetry and paint, prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, it's very simple."

   Madam Hou looked at her, and it was only natural to see her face, but her mood was complicated. Before teaching her to be a housekeeper, she was like a lump of elm, not enlightened, but now she manages the banquet but is very smart. Could it be that the third family is quite talented in this?

  However, it’s clear and logical, but I don’t know if it’s really going to work? Madam Hou stretched out her hand and opened the plan again, asking: "We need to use so many flowers, can we supply them?"

   "Yes, my daughter-in-law opened a flower shop, and there are two greenhouses, which are enough."

   "What are these cakes and milk squares?" Mrs. Hou continued to ask.

  Yu Zhi blinked, "Daughter-in-law tried to make some, mother, can you taste it?"

  Cherry standing behind her immediately opened the food box, Yu Zhi picked up a fresh knife and cut a small piece of cake, held it up to Mrs. Hou with a fork, "This is the cake, mother, try it."

  Mrs. Hou tasted the cake. It was soft and delicious, with a hint of sweetness. She nodded slightly, "It's also novel." Then she tasted the milk square, which melted in her mouth, and her lips and tongue were full of rich milk fragrance, which was even more amazing than the cake just now.

   "These two are novel snacks, and young girls should like them more. You have some ingenuity." Madam Hou said flatly.

  Yu Zhi proudly said, "To tell the truth from mother, my daughter-in-law likes to eat some delicious food, so why don't you come up with some snacks?"

   Madam Hou...

   I have never seen such delicious food.

Yu Zhicai didn't care what Mrs. Hou was thinking, and took the opportunity to propose to pick him up, "Mother knows, the wives and misses of the various prefectures, the daughter-in-law doesn't know a few, so as not to make a joke, the daughter-in-law wants to borrow Mama Wang who is by your side. She is an old man who has been with you for decades, and if she reminds your daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law will not make mistakes."

Thinking about it, he said again: "At first, the daughter-in-law thought that it doesn't matter if the daughter-in-law doesn't know anyone. Isn't there a mother? If it's not good, there is a sister-in-law! The daughter-in-law was scolded by the third master before she had just raised her head. The third master Said that your housekeeper is already very tired, so don't allow your daughter-in-law to bother you. If you scold your daughter-in-law, you will be lazy. As the hostess, how can you push the affairs of your own house to others? Mother, please judge, how can you and sister-in-law be other people? It's a family!" A very aggrieved look.

   Directly blocked what Madam Hou wanted to say next, seeing her aggrieved look, Madam Hou was not sure whether she was really stupid or fake. Ruoyi's third daughter-in-law, I'm afraid she can't think of this level, that's what the third child means... The third child doesn't want others to interfere in the affairs of his house, even if it's her mother!

  Mrs. Hou didn't know what was going on in her heart, her eager heart became cold and faded. Since the third child doesn't want her to take more care of her, then she can only do what he wants. The third child, after all, he is still estranged from here.

  Yu Zhi successfully borrowed someone, and returned home happily. She still has a lot of work to do. She has to let everyone in the capital know that she is actually a virtuous and capable person.
