162 family(2/2)
Shi Zhongkui, who still didn't know that he was trying to be cool, walked up to Amber, Pearl, Ying'er and Xiangling, put his hand into the basin to wash his hands, picked up the sweat towel to wipe it with, then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
Then he said, "Help the two ladies to the main hall and ask someone to inform the kitchen outside the backyard garden. From now on, all meals will be in the backyard.
And the treatment of the two wives cannot be worse than that of the head wives of the Xue family and Jia family."
The treatment is no less than that of Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang, which costs a lot of money, but Ying'er and the four of them are only happy.
Shi Zhongkui didn't care about spending thousands of taels of silver every year on food and clothing for his two wives. "If you don't understand, send someone over to ask the two ladies, or ask the Xue family and Jia family.
In short, the lady must have the dignity of a lady."
Amber, Pearl, and Ying'er looked happy and hurriedly saluted, "Yes, sir."
Others also became happy.
Shi Zhongkui entered the main hall and naturally sat in the master's seat.
But there was only one seat next to it, and Baochai and Yingchun who followed them in didn't know where to sit.
Only then did Shi Zhongkui react, pointing to the chairs on the left and right that were used to receive guests, and said, "Sit down, I was the only one before, so why is it so comfortable in this backyard?"
Later, you sisters discussed how to change whatever you want, and you don’t have to worry about money to buy whatever you want.
In short, you are my wife. Although there is no distinction between big and small, you are divided into right and left. However, the daily treatment is the same, and you also have the same amount of dignity that a husband should have.
And from now on, I will leave all the affairs at home to you."
Baochai and Yingchun looked at each other. Although they were both big and small, they were treated the same.
But now that the left and right sides were divided, it was natural for Baochai to take the lead.
Moreover, Shi Zhongkui did not care about the affairs of the inner house, which was equivalent to confirming their authority.
From now on, the concubines will not dare to cause trouble.
The two of them saluted together and said, "Yes, sir."
Shi Zhongkui nodded with satisfaction, and after the two wives were helped to sit down, he explained clearly the treatment and share of the maids.
When they heard that the money, food, accommodation and clothing were all the same as those of the Rongguo Mansion, the maids felt relieved.
But Yingchun was a little worried. The Rongguo Mansion spent so much money every year. If his husband wanted to save face, he would be in trouble in the future.
Baochai was not worried at all.
Guangxi Honghua accounted for 27,000 taels of silver every year, not to mention the several times Shi Zhongkui made money and Xue Pan participated.
After careful calculation, the sale of peach trees, restaurants and the huge wood used to build the provincial residence would cost at least more than 120,000 taels.
Not long after, Yu Shun arrived at the back with the cook, the male servant from the front yard and the eldest maid among the maids sent by the Xue family before.
Shi Zhongkui picked out some of the promises he made to Baochai and Yingchun last night and repeated them again.
The rules at home have been officially established.
Yu Shun and others also understood that from now on, all the affairs of the family would be managed by the two wives.
Moreover, one is in charge of money expenses and income, and the other is in charge of accounts.
In other words, Baochai is basically the main one.
But since Yingchun is in charge of the accounts, she has the right to interfere in all matters related to money.
To a certain extent, Yingchun's rights are greater than Baochai's.
As for whether the two wives will have conflicts in the future, it all depends on whether Shi Zhongkui can treat them equally.
Although Shi Zhongkui was confident, he also understood that even biological sisters would have conflicts, let alone Baochai and Yingchun with all these maids and natal families around them.
It would be great if we can maintain the two houses without holding each other back.
Moreover, he was already waiting for who would cause trouble first and took the opportunity to let Baochai, Yingchun and the maids understand his bottom line.
Then Shi Zhongkui smiled and said to Yingchun, "Madam, the treatment of Yu Shun and others should be similar to that of Rongguo Mansion.
To avoid being treated differently in the front yard and the back yard, we will lose people’s hearts.”
Yingchun quickly stood up and said, "Yes, sir, I will discuss it with Sister Baochai later."
Yu Shun and others were immediately overjoyed. Considering Rong Guofu's family background, the treatment was definitely at the top of the capital.
Kneeling on the ground, he first thanked Shi Zhongkui, and then formally bowed and thanked Baochai and Yingchun.
But what Yu Shun never expected was that Baochai and Yingchun would keep staring at him.
In order to prevent Lai Da and Lai Er from treating the masters of Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion as fools, they can make money however they want.
Shi Zhongkui said to Baochai again, "From now on, I will leave all business matters to you, husband. If you don't understand anything, just come to me."
If Brother Pan and Brother Lian don't cooperate, I will stand up for you as your husband.
It’s easy to find a reason to hit them with a killing stick.”
"Ms. sir," Baochai suddenly blushed, "My elder brother and second brother Lian are close relatives and will not deceive me."
Shi Zhongkui chuckled, "That's not necessarily the case."
