Chapter 1079 Rules

Unlike the Shen family in Xinliang City, although there are lights and festoons at the entrance of the Shen residence in Fengri City, it doesn't look too exaggerated. It's just that the street at the entrance is very clean. When you open the door and enter, every corner of the mansion has been cleaned several times, and it is spotless.

The servants of Shen's residence headed by Hu Tian were all standing at the door, and they all tidied up their bodies. Seeing that Shen Hao's carriage had stopped, Hu Tian came over and waited beside the carriage.

When Shen Hao helped Yu Qiao get off the car, all the servants bowed to pay their respects.

"Madam is auspicious!"

The simple four words mean that in this family Yu Qiao has the right and status second only to Shen Hao. It also means that the backyard of the Shen Mansion, which has been empty for many years, has finally ushered in its rightful mistress.

Together, Shen Hao and Yu Qiao entered the house under the leadership of the housekeeper Hu Tian, ​​and then walked around along the road.

The house is very nice, no matter the size or the layout, it has been thoughtful, and it is also the most mainstream style at present. Compared with Qizhou Yufu, it looks more grand, and it also has a little more style from Jingzhong.

In particular, the main building in the backyard named "Lanyue" basically combined the architectural features of Jingzhong and Jingbei, and also made special arrangements according to Yu Qiao's living habits, which definitely satisfied Yu Qiao in every way.

It's just that the overly wide bed in the bedroom made Yu Qiaoqiao blush, and for some reason, she grabbed Shen Hao's sleeve and shook her head coquettishly several times.

After walking around the whole yard, Yu Qiao's face was full of joy. She liked this and was most satisfied with this newly built "Lan Yue". Obviously, "Lan Yue" is holding her moon, and this kind of almost explicit expression of love makes Yu Qiao very useful.

"Husband, can I write down the poem you gave me and hang it in the main room of "Lan Yue" as the nave?"

"Zhongtang? Wouldn't it be a bit monotonous just for one word?"

"Husband looks down on people! I'm pretty good at drawing, especially birds. How about I draw a picture of two flying birds with beautiful flowers and trees? It should be worthy of my husband's words, right?"

Shen Hao smiled and said, "Yes, you like you."

Yu Qiao smiled back when she heard the words, a very sweet smile, but there was still a trace of resentment in her eyes, which was not hidden from Shen Hao's eyes. It's just that Shen Hao didn't ask too much, there are some things that don't need to be guessed, it's obvious that Yu Qiao needs to figure it out by himself.

Where did the sorrow and resentment in Yu Qiao's eyes come from? It naturally originated from the separate moon gate in the backyard of the entire Shen residence.

On the left of the Moon Gate is "Lanyue", and on the right is a building complex that is significantly smaller than "Lanyue", which also has a name, "Huanxiang".

The one who embraces the moon is naturally the moon Yu Qiao.

To return the fragrance, the one who returned it was naturally the singer Lianxiang who had been waiting for Shen Hao to follow in after his wedding.

These metaphors are clear to Shen Hao, everyone in the Shen family knows them well, and Yu Qiao reacted instantly after seeing them.

The sorrow and resentment in Yu Qiao's heart come from this "Returning Fragrance Garden". She had never thought that Shen Hao would divide the backyard into two ahead of time. A moon gate with two courtyards with unique names, it is obvious that the backyard of the Shen residence is divided into two independent sides.

Yu Qiao thought about it and thought that it was her husband who was setting boundaries for her. It means: not everything in the backyard is up to you, and you can't control the "returning fragrance" on the other side after your "Lan Yue".

This is undoubtedly limiting the rights of Yu Qiao, the head of the house. It can be said that Shen Hao, the head of the family, is the leader of the hand. He also pampered the concubine's room too much.

what to do?

Yu Qiao had a smile on her face, but felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She came here just now, and she saw this, is it setting rules for her, the head of the house?

Is this a rule? If you ask Shen Hao, Shen Hao will definitely say: Forget it!

Unlike people who are deeply influenced by the customs of this world, Shen Hao doesn't feel that his family needs another big woman who helps him manage his concubines and slaves. The old woman can manage the property of the family to a certain extent, and manage the household chores. But people and things that dare not move can't mess around.

From Shen Hao's point of view, he is the only one who can touch his own woman, no one else has this right. I also hope that after seeing the two separate courtyards of "Huanxiang" and "Lanyue", Yu Qiao can make a wise choice.

If Yu Qiao insisted on taking advantage of Shen Hao's other women, then Shen Hao was really not going to be polite. As for the rules, he, Shen Hao, is the rules of the Shen residence.

Of course, Shen Hao will not blindly take away all the rights of a big wife that Yu Qiao should have.

In the account room, in front of Yu Qiao, Shen Hao asked Hu Tian to give a general account of the various incomes of Shen's mansion, both inside and outside, and at the same time, told Hu Tian that Yu Qiao would take care of these financial matters from now on. , unless there is a major change, there is no need to bother him anymore.

At the same time, he also explained to Yu Qiao the names of people who had more contacts in the family. For example, Jiang Cheng, the governor of Jingxi, often needs to move around. There are also a few confidantes, such as Wang Jian, Wang Yiming, etc. These relationships also need to be maintained. Shen Hao didn't have a wife before, but now he has one. This relationship naturally requires the wives on both sides to move around and deepen contact.

In the end, Yu Qiao was even given the key to the underground treasure house of Shen's mansion, and also told the method of entering and exiting the magic circle.

"At present, apart from you and I, only Lao Hu can enter these treasure houses. If you want anything in the future, you can go in and get it yourself."

After this explanation, Yu Qiao's hunger is considered to be put down again. Shen Hao basically explained the rights of the housewife, except for the Moon Gate.

Compared to running a huge Shen residence, it is obvious that those things in the backyard are not so important at once.

Grab the family's belongings, how can those women around the husband turn the world upside down? Yu Qiao thought about it.

But being a housekeeper is not so easy. Yu Qiao has received relevant education in Yu's family since she was a child. In terms of the main accounts, she must not only be able to read but also be able to do it, so that at least she will not be deceived. Then there are all kinds of rules in the open and in the dark, as well as the various business practices of the aristocratic family.

Of course, it is one thing to have learned it, but it is another thing to want to do it yourself. Therefore, even though the entry and exit of Shen's property is not complicated, if you want to smooth it out, you can't handle it just by listening to it. It is necessary for Yu Qiao to follow Hu Tian to reconcile the accounts, and then learn from Hu Tian for a period of time.

I just came back today, and it's not yet the time for Yu Qiao and Hu Tian to officially hand over. Afterwards, Shen Hao led Yu Qiao to the treasure house at home, and Hu Tian accompanied him, answering some of Yu Qiao's questions from time to time. Because it involved the family's belongings, Shen Hao couldn't explain many things clearly, so Hu Tian had to explain.

As a result, Yu Qiao discovered that the most treasures in Shen Hao's treasury were actually gold and silver and a large number of strange Yin jade. It is said that collecting Yin jade is her husband's greatest hobby. The second is some seafood, the least is calligraphy and painting antiques. This doesn't seem to be commensurate with the collection of a "big writer", but rather like the money storehouse of a merchant's family.

"By the way, Shen, some of the congratulatory gifts for the previous wedding have already been delivered, and some will be delivered from Xinliang City in the next few days. Do you need to take a look at it now?" Coming out of the treasure house, Hu Tian suddenly remembered The matter in hand was quickly reported to Shen Hao.

Shen Hao nodded, and said: "Get a list and put it in the study, I will read it when I have time. You can discuss the rest with your wife."
