Chapter 154: Being used

Beside the Jinyuan, Jiang Yixi broke up with Second Grandma Meng, Meng Cimo slowed down, and they returned to Fushengju together.

Meng Cimo smiled and asked, "How is it?"

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Very good, better than I imagined."

After entering the east room, several girls placed the greeting gifts they received on the Kang table.

The brocade box given by the old prince was the smallest. When he opened the box, there was a light green bead a little bigger than a pigeon egg.

Meng Cimo said happily, "This is the Night Pearl. My grandfather got it when he was fighting Hulu twenty years ago. He was not willing to give it to anyone, but he gave it to you. It shows how much my grandfather dotes on you."

This was the first time Jiang Yixi saw the Night Pearl, and this bead belonged to her. She held the green bead and beamed with joy, and said with a smile, "If you give it to me, it's just a gift to you."

The two of them looked at it for a while before putting it into the brocade box. In the previous life, the old man gave her a jade ornament, but in this life, the relationship was settled first, and the old man valued her more.

The old lady gave me a red gold phoenix hairpin with beads and jewels in it. The head of the phoenix was as big as a man's hand, so it was worth a lot at first glance. In the previous life, she gave me a silver note worth one hundred taels.

Unlike Duke Cheng Guo, the old lady has a good heart. She didn't like her in her previous life because she relied on Meng Ciyu, but in this life, she still likes her as another grandson's daughter-in-law.

What Duke Cheng Guo gave him was a small amber ornament.

The brocade box given by Mrs. Fu was the largest, a set of red gold inlaid treasure heads and noodle boxes, with ten pieces. It looked like a lot, but it was actually not as valuable as the hairpin given by the old lady.

Seeing Meng Cimo's face darken, Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "I don't know how to wear it, so I'll give it to someone else in the future." He then added, "Give it to someone who hates it."

What the second master gave was also a decoration, and what the second lady gave was two jade strings.

After collecting the gifts, Jiang Yixi went to bed. She didn't sleep well last night and had to catch up on her sleep.

Meng Cimo didn't have the habit of taking a nap at noon, so he leaned on the bedside and read a book. When Jiang Yixi fell asleep, he put down the book and looked at her.

When Jiang Yixi woke up, she was faced with two big black eyes.

She laughed softly and said, "Have you seen enough?"

Meng Cimo leaned over and kissed her little mouth, muttering, "Of course I didn't see enough."

After the two made love, Jiang Yixi got up. Shuixiang came in and washed her up. She went to the living room alone and asked Linxiang to gather all the servants from Fusheng Pavilion.

In addition to Linxiang and Linmei, Fusheng Pavilion also has four little girls who are responsible for guarding and sweeping the house, two rough ladies, and two women who manage the flowers and plants of Fusheng Pavilion and Jinyuan.

Grandma Wang, who managed the flowers and plants in Mengjiazhuang, was actually transferred here. Her man was Uncle Wang, the head farmer of Mengjiazhuang. Jiang Yixi had a very good impression of the couple.

A nun in charge was sent before, but Meng Cimo made excuses and sent her away.

Jiang Yixi also adjusted the staff of Fusheng Pavilion. Aunt Wu is the steward of Fusheng Pavilion, Linxiang and Shuixiang are the eldest maids, Linmei, Shuiling and Shuiqing are the second-class maids. Because of the flowers and plants in Fusheng Garden and Jinyuan

So much so that the old man specially set up a flower and plant manager for Grandma Wang.

Aunt Wu's monthly allowance is two taels of silver, Linxiang and Shuixiang, Aunt Wang's is one tael of silver and five hundred cents, the second-class girl's is one tael, the coarse envoy's mother-in-law is eight hundred cents, and the little girl's is five hundred cents.

Hundreds of dollars, plus clothes and jewelry.

The treatment is several levels higher than that of Jiang Mansion, which makes Nanny Wu and several girls very happy.

Jiang Yixi's salary is much higher, with twenty taels of silver per month, six sets of clothes, shoes and some jewelry every quarter.

The servants kowtowed to Jiang Yixi, and Shuixiang and others took out the purses they had prepared in advance to reward them.

Jiang Yixi had already secretly told Huahua that she should secretly pay attention to the other servants of the Meng family except Linxiang and Grandma Wang. She must first make sure that there are no spies around her, so that she can attack the enemy more effectively.

It was the end of the Shen Dynasty after handling the affairs. Jiang Yixi went to Fu'an Hall with Meng Cimo and Huahua Shuiling in their arms.

Except for Meng Ciyu and Meng Ciyan who live in the outer courtyard, everyone else has arrived.

Meng Hua smiled innocently and said, "Brother came to Fu'an Hall twice today. From now on, grandma won't have to think about her grandson every day."

These words are heartbreaking.

Meng Cimo didn't talk much, and he didn't want to talk to this little girl. His face was sullen and speechless.

Jiang Yixi didn't realize it, and smiled and saluted the elders.

She was the eldest sister-in-law, and she sat below the second wife. Although Meng Yue was older than her, because she was the aunt who had returned home from separation, she sat below Meng Shuang, and Huang Xin sat at the end.

Mrs. Fu smiled at Jiang Yixi and said, "I heard from Yue'er that the gifts for you to come home tomorrow have been prepared in the foreign affairs office. Just ask the girl to get them when you leave."

Jiang Yixi stood up and thanked Fu, and then thanked Meng Yue.

Meng Cimo had told her before that at the end of last year, Fu proposed to let Meng Yue temporarily help Guan Zhongfu.

There are three reasons. First, Meng Yue is still so young. If she meets the right person in the future, she still has to marry again. She should interact with people more and teach her how to look at people so that she will not suffer any more disadvantages when she marries to her husband’s family. Second, if she doesn’t want to marry, she will have to marry her husband’s family.

When you live with your daughter for the rest of your life, you must also learn to manage your own property. Third, you should also find something for her to do so that she will not indulge in the pain of the past every day.

She also made it clear that once Jiang Yixi gets married, Meng Yue will hand over power to her.

This proposal was immediately approved by Mrs. Meng, who also said that Mr. Fu was thoughtful and should let Meng Yue, who was not familiar with common affairs, learn more.

Jiang Yixi is the daughter-in-law of the eldest son, that is, the grandmother of the house. After marrying into the family, she should assist her mother-in-law in hosting the wedding ceremony. However, the eldest sister-in-law who returned home from Heli has already assisted the eldest lady in housekeeping. If Jiang Yixi took over the power from Meng Yue as a matter of course, it would be squeezing out Heli.

My sister-in-law is away from home.

Therefore, even if Meng Yue took the initiative to hand over power, Jiang Yixi would not dare to accept it. If word spread, it is likely that as soon as she married into her husband's family, she would eagerly "grab power" and bully her poor sister-in-law. If

Meng Yue was again instigated to move out of the house and live another life, and Jiang Yixi was even more guilty.

Jiang Yixi didn't want to take care of the house now. She had more important things to do. However, Meng Yue was used by Fu to attack Jiang Yixi, which made Meng Cimo very angry and sad. The problem was that Meng Yue was being used without knowing it.

Fu was like this, no matter how Jiang Yixi dealt with her, she always had the upper hand. Jiang Yixi took over from Meng Yue, which was a good opportunity to attack Jiang Yixi and sow discord between them. Jiang Yixi didn't accept it, and it wasn't because her stepmother didn't allow her stepdaughter-in-law to take care of the house. It was just right for Fu.

Being able to take full charge of this mansion makes it easier to clean up Meng Cimo and his wife, and hand over the entire family business to his own son...

Meng Yue also knew that this mansion should be managed by Mrs. Youshizi. She smiled and said, "When my younger siblings are married, I don't need to help my mother take care of the housework. They will be left to my younger siblings."

Jiang Yixi hurriedly smiled and said, "I just got married and am not very familiar with this place. Sister, just treat me with more love and work harder."

Her heart ached. She knew that Mrs. Fu was unwilling to let her take care of the house, but she had to refuse.
