In ancient times, it was indeed possible to get married at eighteen, which was considered late.

"That's great."

"You heartless girl, you can't escape your second brother's troubles."

What does this have to do with her?

Tong Cheng'er: "Mother, how did this get involved with me?"

She had basically nothing to do with all the arrangements for her eldest brother's wedding, so why did she suddenly have to deal with her second brother's wedding?

Shumulu said, "You were still young when your eldest brother got married, but you are not young anymore. In a few days, your mother plans to hold a banquet and invite some young ladies. You can't be lazy then; you have to help your mother entertain them."

Forehead……

She hadn't expected this.

Hosting guests can actually be a bit of a hassle.

It's not that she can't do it well; it's just that in modern times, if you do something well, that's expected, but if you don't, you're bound to be criticized.

However, it seems that her mother is determined to train her.

Since it concerned her second brother, Tong Cheng'er couldn't refuse.

"I understand. I will entertain the princesses who come to visit."

Looking at Tong Cheng'er's somewhat sullen face, Shumulu felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Shumulu continued, "That's not all. You don't need to worry about that, Datou, but you should stay with me and your sister-in-law these days and help out. At least you need to understand the process of holding a banquet."

It means don't even think about slacking off; once things get busy, it won't just be the day of the banquet, she'll be involved in preparing for it too.

Tong Cheng'er cried out in anguish, "Mother, you're so cruel! Don't you love your daughter anymore?"

As she spoke, she blinked, and tears welled up in her eyes; she looked so pitiful.

Shumulu didn't fall for her act, and the result was self-evident: she was determined to do the "hard labor."

Speaking of which, Tong Cheng'er's sister-in-law, Madam Fucha, took this matter quite seriously. She knew that her mother-in-law's decision to involve her in choosing a future wife for her second brother-in-law was also in the hope that the sisters-in-law would live in harmony in the future.

As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tong family, she is expected to uphold the future of the Tong family. Naturally, she hopes that her future sister-in-law will be easy to get along with. Otherwise, if she brings in someone who is calculating and cunning, she will be driven crazy with worry.

She had no objection to her mother-in-law asking her to look after her sister-in-law.

Although she felt it was inappropriate for her sister-in-law to be lazy, she found her sister-in-law's lazy nature easy to manage and never made things difficult for her.

She had no problem with her lazy sister-in-law; in fact, she was sometimes quite envious of her.

Ultimately, the only reason someone can be lazy is because they're pampered; otherwise, they couldn't possibly be lazy.

Besides, although my sister-in-law is lazy, she is very smart. The current household management rules were proposed by her, and this method makes managing the household and the courtyard much easier.

Lady Fucha was quite impressed; her sister-in-law was really capable of being lazy.

Tong Cheng'er, while following Fucha Shi, still liked to slack off when doing things, but what was quite amazing was that she didn't neglect her duties at all.

Fucha found it rather strange.

Although the household already had a set of housekeeping rules that could be quickly implemented in various places, the sister-in-law hardly did anything. As a result, she completed the tasks that her mother-in-law had assigned to her sister-in-law with high quality and quantity.

"Little sister, I have something to ask you! I didn't see you were busy, but you finished the task I asked you to do so quickly. How did you do that?"

Before she got married, she was already busy managing the household under her mother's care. After she got married, her mother-in-law intended to give her more control over the household affairs, and she continued to manage the household as well. If there was a way to do it quickly and easily, she was naturally willing to put in the effort.

Who doesn't like to be lazy?

When Tong Cheng'er was asked this, she was a little embarrassed. She understood her mother's intention, which was to let her learn something so that she wouldn't make a mistake when she got married and held a banquet, and be criticized by her in-laws.

But her method is a bit hard to explain.

Seeing how sincere her sister-in-law's question was, Tong Cheng'er finally answered.

"Actually, it's quite simple. I just handed it all over to Ruxue and Rulan."

Fucha was stunned: "What, you're going to have a maid do it?" She couldn't have heard wrong!

This contradicts what Fucha had learned. From a young age, she was taught and instilled with the idea that women must seize control of the household. Although the matter she entrusted to Tong Cheng'er was not a major one, it was definitely not something a maid could handle.

Moreover, giving such great power to a maid is not because no one is willing to do it, but generally speaking, people would do it without special circumstances.

A maid can run errands, but how can she be fully responsible?

Tong Cheng'er thought her sister-in-law wouldn't do a good job: "Rulan and Ruxue were taught by me personally. They are absolutely loyal and smart. They won't make any mistakes. You can rest assured, sister-in-law!"

Fucha shook her head helplessly and said, "Little sister, you really have a big heart. Only you would dare to entrust such a thing to a maid."

“Sister-in-law, as you can see, Rulan and Ruxue are doing very well. They are capable and can already stand on their own. Letting them go is also a way for me to train them better.”

Upon hearing this, Lady Fucha couldn't help but laugh: "You, in the end, just don't want to tire yourself out. If Mother finds out, she'll definitely scold you again."

"Sister-in-law, it's good that you know. As for Mother..."

Fucha had no intention of complaining: "As long as your mother doesn't find out, I'll pretend I didn't ask you about this today. But you should know that your mother has sent people to keep an eye on things!"

"I know, thank you so much, sister-in-law!"

Tong Cheng'er wasn't afraid of being discovered. Her principle was to be lazy as long as she could, and even if there was no opportunity, she would create one to slack off.

As for the consequences of being discovered, we'll see. She's just lazy, not stupid. At most, she'll get a few words of criticism, nothing serious.
