Daughter Reborn as the Head of the Family

The waiter in the shop came forward to entertain the two of them, "Boy, what would you like?"

Song Jinyue rolled her eyes, looked at the dazzling array of preserved fruits on the table and said, "Man, what preserved fruits in the store are the most popular among pregnant women?"

When the young man heard what Song Jinyue said, he couldn't help but frown. He looked her up and down, and with a flash of inspiration, he hurriedly introduced: "Miss, you picked it for your family, right? The green plum in our store is the most popular among pregnant women."

Song Jinyue looked in the direction of the boy's finger and saw a plate full of cyan plums on the black pottery plate. A quick glance made her back molars feel sore and tight.

Seeing her hesitation, the waiter quickly brought the plate and motioned to Song Jinyue to take one and try it, "Miss, don't worry, these green plums are also the best sold in our shop."

Song Jinyue took a plum, held it to the tip of her nose and smelled it, and indeed she smelled a hint of sourness accompanied by a sweet fragrance. However, she still couldn't eat the sour plum, which showed that the young man's words did not seem to be false.

She bought two pounds of green plums and went back.

On the carriage, Qiu Yun was a little aggrieved and complained: "Miss, you kindly want to give that person food, but I don't think that person can accept our affection."

Although the young lady didn’t say it clearly, she bought these plums for pregnant women. Now besides the eldest lady, who else could she give them to if she didn’t buy them for the eldest lady?

Song Jinyue sighed helplessly, raised her hand and tapped Qiu Yun's forehead twice, saying: "I didn't give it to you, I have my own use."

Qiu Yun's eyes widened and she looked at her young lady in confusion.

I also know that it is inconvenient to ask questions on the carriage now.

I just have to wait until I get back to Mingzhuxuan to ask again.

After getting off the carriage, Song Jinyue went straight back to Mingzhuxuan. But as soon as she entered the gate, she saw a dozen elderly women sitting under the corridor of Mingzhuxuan.

Everyone saw her return and hurriedly stood up to greet her.

"Second Miss."

"..."

Everyone shouted respectfully.

Song Jinyue nodded a few times as a response and walked towards Nanny Yuan.

Aunt Yuan then explained: "Second Miss, these ladies are all in charge of the house. I heard that you are now in charge of the house, so I came here to pay my respects."

Song Jinyue couldn't help but frowned, had this matter spread so quickly?

But she didn't ask the managers from all over the place to come to her and give her a reply. Why did they all come together today?

Seeing her suspicion, Grandma Yuan came forward and whispered, "Madam asked them to come."

Only then did Song Jinyue understand. She turned around and looked at the ladies behind her, and ordered: "My father has asked me to be in charge of the house temporarily. All the people in charge should stay where they are and do their own work first. After two days, I will take care of it."

Okay, I’ll order you all to come and meet and talk,”

The leader, a woman wearing a brown double-breasted Confucian coat, stood up in one step, and the other women gathered in front of her. With a quick glance, it was obvious that this woman was probably the backbone among them.

"Second Miss, although the old slaves should have waited for your call to come back, there are a lot of purchases in this house every day, and now they all have to use money. There is no time to delay. The counting house will not give the old slaves the daily payment.

I need some silver, so the old slaves came to find fault with the second young lady."

"I wonder what your surname is, mama? Where do you manage things?" Song Jinyue could tell that this mother-in-law might be a difficult master.

As soon as they openly and secretly accused the person who had changed the head of the family, the Duke's mansion was now in a state of disarray.

The woman bowed her knees and bowed, raised her head and replied: "My surname is Tian, ​​and I am in charge of purchasing clothes for all seasons in the house."

"Oh?" Song Jinyue chuckled softly, looked at the old woman, suddenly suppressed the smile on her face, coldly stared at the old woman, and said: "Mother Tian, ​​you came today because of your own intentions.

Are you looking for trouble with me?"

Aunt Tian also stopped smiling and looked at Song Jinyue coldly, showing no intention of holding back at all, "I don't understand what Second Miss said."

Song Jinyue raised her hand to dust her clothes and said quietly: "Since Aunt Tian still wants to pretend to be confused with me, let's make things clear today."

Everyone looked at Song Jinyue, wondering what she meant.

Song Jinyue raised her finger and pointed at Aunt Tian, ​​and said: "Now the house has just bought winter clothes a few days ago. No matter how early spring clothes are, they will be arranged after the new year. Now you bring people to the door, not because you want to embarrass me, but also

what for?"

Seeing that she had exposed her, Grandma Tian was not panicked, and still argued: "But trivial items such as red hairpins, noodle heads, and handkerchiefs, incense burners, and silk ribbons everywhere in the house also need to be purchased every day!"

Seeing that Aunt Tian was still acting like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Song Jinyue snorted coldly and scolded: "Mommy, I don't understand the affairs of the back house? These items in the mouth of Aunt are all the same clothes for all seasons.

Since the things I had prepared are now in short supply or bad, it is naturally because of your poor handling of the matter, mama. Why..."

Song Jinyue smiled sarcastically and continued: "Why, now you still want to blame me for your dereliction of duty?"

There was still no sign of awakening on Granny Tian's face, but the group of women who followed behind her all stepped back.

"Why, you don't accept it?" Song Jinyue raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Granny Tian with squinted eyes.

Although Grandma Tian was kneeling on the ground, her body was upright, and there was a sense of stubbornness all over her body.

"Then kneel down until grandma figures it out before you get up." Song Jinyue said her last ultimatum coldly, without looking at the look of disbelief on Mammy Tian's face.

He raised his head and looked at everyone and said: "Today, in front of all the stewards, everyone has heard clearly that in the future, whoever will be with me, regardless of master or servant, relies on his powerful status in the past and wants to be with me.

Come here to show off your power, first check how many pounds you have. Furthermore, I will order someone to deal with it in the accounting room, don't worry."

One sentence made everyone feel a little chilly.

Everyone dared to say anything more, so they all said goodbye and exited Mingzhuxuan.

Song Jinyue raised her feet and entered the house. Granny Tian called out "Two...", but all that was left to her was Song Jinyue's cold back.

As soon as he entered the house, Song Jinyue looked at Qiu Yun and ordered: "Qiu Yun, go get the stove."

"Miss, do you want to make some tea?"

"Go and get it quickly, I can use it."

Qiu Yun then went to the small kitchen to move the tea-making utensils. At this time, Song Jinyue was sitting in front of the table. There was an embroidery frame in front of her. In her hand was the purse she had embroidered before, which was being used by Song Jinyue with scissors.

It was taken apart.

"Miss, what are you doing?"

He closed the door and placed the tea-making utensils on the table.

Qiu Yun then approached her young lady, dragging her chin, very confused. She really couldn't understand what the young lady was doing.

Song Jinyue waved the purse in her hand in front of Qiu Yun's eyes, then pointed at the fireplace and said, "I want to put green plums into this purse."

Qiu Yun still frowned and looked confused.

"But won't this make the purse dirty?" Looking at the purse that the lady had just embroidered earlier, she felt very regretful.
