Rong and Mrs. Xiao left one after another, and Mrs. Xiao sighed and said, "Three girls, you can also see that your two aunts are not fuel-efficient lamps, although they are beaten by the old man today, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not give you trouble in the future." ”

Xiao Ziyu nodded, "Grandmother, don't worry, I am sure to suppress the second and third wives." "No matter what the idea of the Rong family and the third wife is, Xiao Ziyu doesn't have much pressure, she is in the court, and she is even more self-respecting in the harem, let alone dealing with the Rong family and the third wife, let alone dealing with the Rong family and the third wife.

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded, "The old body knows your ability, and the old body will also make it clear today, if the second wife and the third wife will keep to themselves in the future, get by, and get by, you will turn a blind eye, after all, it is a family, but if they touch your bottom line, you don't have to be polite, if something happens, the old body will stand resolutely behind you and be your backing." ”

Xiao Ziyu fully understands Mrs. Xiao's position, and Mrs. Xiao is definitely on her side, and Xiao Ziyu is still very sure of this.

"Grandmother, I know that I am measured, the second and third wives are always my elders, if they don't do too much, I won't care about them, but if they do too much, I won't tolerate them. Xiao Ziyu said very calmly.

"Well, the old body knows that you are measured, you can weigh this matter yourself, these days you first check the account books one by one, and then take your mother to start the house, but the old body is really worried about your mother, you are thirteen years old after the New Year, at most you can stay at home for two or three years, I really don't know if these two or three years, your mother can afford the burden of this huge national mansion. When Mrs. Xiao said this, she also felt a little worried, and Mrs. Xiao's temperament was really worrying.

"Grandmother, don't worry, I will assist my mother, besides, my mother has changed a lot over the years, and she will definitely be able to shoulder this burden slowly. Xiao Ziyu comforted.

Old Madam Xiao just sighed softly, in fact, Old Madam Xiao really didn't have much hope for Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao's temperament, even if she had the ability, she couldn't make a decision to kill, and when the time came, there would definitely be no right and wrong in this country's mansion.

The main reason is that Mrs. Xiao's heart is too soft, such a family member is not good, of course, it is not good to be too iron-fisted policy, it is best to learn to be rigid and soft.

Xiao Ziyu has a very good grasp of this scale, in fact, Mrs. Xiao herself feels that she is not a very good leader, and even sometimes, she is not as good as Xiao Ziyu.

"Three girls, don't force your mother too much, the old body actually thought about it early in the morning, after the New Year, you are also thirteen, and the family affairs should also look like each other, if there is a suitable one, you can set the family affairs first, and if you get married, wait for your eldest brother to marry, and then directly hand over the mansion to the grandmother, as for your mother, it is estimated that she will enjoy the life of Qingfu in this life. Mrs. Xiao said a little helplessly, and guessed that it was like that.

Anyway, she didn't want to give too much hope to these daughters-in-law.

"I know that my mother disappointed my grandmother in the past, and my mother's temperament is indeed not suitable for being in charge, so let's take a look at it, since my grandmother has made up her mind in her heart, she will do what my grandmother said. Xiao Ziyu knew Mrs. Xiao's concerns, although Xiao Ziyu hadn't experienced it at that time, but she had also heard that her mother had just been married for a few months, and she had also managed the family for a while, but the result was really unsatisfactory, that scene, even if Xiao Ziyu hadn't seen it, she could guess some of it, so it was normal for Mrs. Xiao to have no confidence in Mrs. Xiao.

"Well, with you, the old body can be raised with peace of mind, if you are looking for relatives for your eldest brother in the future, the old body can be selected personally, and the girl's family background can be slightly inferior, but the personality and ability, the old body must be checked personally. Old Lady Xiao said firmly.

Of course, Xiao Ziyu knew why, but she just smiled silently.

In fact, when Mrs. Xiao thought of this, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, when she first said goodbye to Xiao Qinghe, she and Mrs. Xiao also had some disputes, Mrs. Xiao wanted Xiao Qinghe to marry Rong, but Mrs. Xiao disagreed, saying that Rong's temperament was not calm at all, not atmospheric, and it would be difficult to be alone in the future.

had to pick the eldest girl of the Mo family, at that time, Mrs. Xiao did not insist too much, and the Rong family grew up with her, at that time, the Rong family's temperament was better than now, but there was also a bit of arrogance, and Mrs. Xiao was very satisfied with the Mo family's family background.

Mrs. Mo is also very familiar with her, she is a very hearty and atmospheric person, and she also has a lot of ability and means, and later after seeing Mo Lingrong, she also thinks it is very good, Mrs. Xiao looks very good, she was absolutely unique in the imperial capital at that time, and her words and deeds are also extremely outstanding, and no one can pick out half of it, so this family business has been decided.

It was only after Mrs. Xiao entered the door that after a short time, Mrs. Xiao asked her to take charge of the house, and the follow-up things made Mrs. Xiao vomit blood and vomit enough.

With such a weak and naïve temperament, how can he bear the burden of the eldest daughter-in-law, if he is a second daughter-in-law, it will be so-so.

The Rong family had also been assigned to Xiao Qingfeng at that time, and Xiao Qingzhuo's family affairs had also been decided.

Because only Xiao Qinghe is a disciple, Xiao Qingfeng, Xiao Qingzhuo's daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Xiao's requirements are not too high, as a result, none of the three daughters-in-law can take on the heavy responsibility, and Mrs. Xiao has to work alone until now.

However, what Mrs. Xiao is most proud of is that she has cultivated Xiao Ziyu, she can be in charge at such a young age, and in the entire imperial capital, I am afraid that there is no girl who can compare with Xiao Ziyu.

"Grandmother, I have one more thing to tell you, and I would like to ask for your opinion. Xiao Ziyu suddenly said, in fact, Xiao Ziyu thought about it just now, and felt that it was better to tell Mrs. Xiao directly about the matter with Yu Wenmo, because this matter could not be hidden from Mrs. Xiao at all, sooner or later the old lady would say it, but it was better to say it herself, and Mrs. Xiao would still feel acceptable.

"Okay, you say. Seeing Xiao Ziyu's expression was very serious, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but mention it, Mrs. Xiao also knew Xiao Ziyu, and knew that if Xiao Ziyu didn't have a big event, she wouldn't have this expression.

"I know that my grandmother and mother are also going to show me family affairs, and my grandmother and mother have also said that my family affairs are my own decision, and I must nod my head to do it, I don't know if this is still counted?" Xiao Ziyu asked.

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded, "Of course, the old body has also meant this until now, you have always had a big idea, and you still have to be in charge of your family affairs." ”

Xiao Ziyu smiled, "Okay, grandmother, if I want to marry the Ninth Prince, Yu Wenmo, will you agree?"

Old Mrs. Xiao was also taken aback suddenly, the surprise was definitely not pretended, it was really surprised, her eyes looked at Xiao Ziyu fixedly, and she didn't say anything for a while, obviously she was really surprised.

Xiao Ziyu was actually a little unsure of Mrs. Xiao's thoughts.

Old Lady Xiao was loud for a long time before she spoke, "Three girls, are you serious?"

Xiao Ziyu nodded solemnly, "Yes, I do like the Nine Princes very much in my heart." ”

Old Mrs. Xiao sighed and smiled, "Actually, the old body thinks that you and Lao Jiu are quite compatible." ”

Now it was Xiao Ziyu's turn to be surprised, Xiao Ziyu really didn't have a bottom in her heart, because she didn't know if Mrs. Xiao would agree or object?

She didn't feel this at all.

And she said to Xiao Qinghe, and said to Mrs. Xiao, they didn't agree at first, but Mrs. Xiao would say that the Ninth Prince was compatible with her, which was really surprising to Xiao Ziyu.

Old Lady Xiao looked at Xiao Ziyu's surprised appearance, but said with a smile, " In fact, the old body has always liked the old nine, it should also be fate, in the eyes of the old body, the old nine is really good, every time I come over, I will accompany the old body to talk for a while, and I am very patient, although the old body is old, but there is no old confusion, the prince and the second and fifth children when they accompany the old body to talk, although they are all respectful, but this heart is very impatient, but it is just a face to please, only the old nine this child, like the emperor, is to really respect the old body, this point, the old body is still more sure。 Mrs. Xiao spoke eloquently.

Xiao Ziyu didn't pay much attention to these, mainly the prince, the second prince, and the fifth prince, they didn't come many times, just these few times, can Mrs. Xiao see it so thoroughly?

"Also, in fact, Concubine Xian is also very good, very calm and generous, although she is a palace concubine, but there seems to be a quality in her body, which makes people can't help but like her, I like her very much when I was old, and I guess you and her should be compatible. ”

The corners of Xiao Ziyu's mouth twitched, she really hadn't thought about it in such a long time.

But Mrs. Xiao was thinking too far.

"Grandmother, don't you object?" Xiao Ziyu couldn't help but ask.

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded, "Naturally, I don't object, the old body said that you are in charge of your own family affairs, and the old body's opinion will not change at this point." Mrs. Xiao replied.

"But didn't grandfather not allow the Xiao family to marry the royal family?" Xiao Ziyu asked.

Mrs. Xiao felt very indifferent, "There are always exceptions to everything, besides, the old body hopes that you can live happily, this husband, you still have to choose the most hearty by yourself, the old body doesn't want you to have regrets, and finally you become a couple with others." ”

Xiao Ziyu was very moved when she heard it, Xiao Ziyu really didn't think that Mrs. Xiao would be so open-minded, in fact, Mrs. Xiao is really the person who knows herself in the world.

The reason why Mrs. Xiao hesitated was because Mrs. Xiao was afraid that she would be hurt, but Mrs. Xiao did not have this concern, because Mrs. Xiao knew herself, and she knew that she would not be wronged.

No matter where she marries, she will not wronged herself, nor will she be bullied, so Mrs. Xiao is very confident in herself.

"Girl. Old Lady Xiao stepped forward and stroked Xiao Ziyu's forehead and said, " You have been with the old body since you were a child, and the old body has always taught you hand in hand, just thinking that one day, if you get married, it doesn't matter who you marry into, the old body doesn't want you to be wronged, the old body has never been wronged in this life, and naturally it has not been taught to you according to the set of standards of virtuous and virtuous lady, what virtuous lady, generous and kind, that is all for outsiders to see, people outside like such a woman, but it doesn't mean that you want to be such a child, because the person who suffers in the end is yourself, understand? Old Lady Xiao said with a sigh.

"Grandmother, I know that I won't let anyone bully me. Xiao Ziyu said word by word, what she said was also from her heart, in this life, she really wouldn't let anyone bully her.

"Then I'm relieved. Old Madam Xiao seemed to remember something, and then asked, "Do your father and mother know what you are thinking?" Of course, what does Lao Jiu think?"

"I have discussed it with my father and mother, and they didn't agree at first, but in the end they still relied on me, as for the Nine Princes, naturally he has the same mind as me, otherwise, I wouldn't say this. ”

"That's good, your grandfather's place, you don't have to worry, I will do your grandfather's work, and the emperor's side, there will be no problem, and if you want to come to the virtuous concubine, you shouldn't object. "Old Mrs. Xiao doesn't seem to take this matter too seriously.

Xiao Ziyu didn't speak, but this time Mrs. Xiao really miscalculated, Concubine Xian actually didn't agree with this family business, but Xiao Ziyu didn't plan to say it, and saying it was just to make everyone have concerns, Concubine Xian disagreed, this is a problem that Yu Wenmo needs to worry about, and Xiao Ziyu is also more sure that she can get along well with Concubine Xian.

"Grandmother, rest up, I'll go back first, and there's a lot of books. Xiao Ziyu thought for a while and said.

"Why, is it just the two of you to reconcile the accounts? Didn't you let Mr. Bookkeeper come over?" asked Old Lady Xiao with a frown.

Xiao Ziyu smiled, "No, Jing'er and I are relatively fast, and sometimes, we don't need to be so troublesome." ”

Mrs. Xiao didn't ask much, she knew that Xiao Ziyu and Xiao Jing'er were still a little tricky, and they liked to go off the beaten path, but often the results would be unexpectedly good, so she let them go.

Xiao Ziyu and Xiao Jing'er returned to Jingxin Pavilion, and the two of them continued to reconcile the account books, the two of them had a tacit understanding of doing things, so the speed was really fast.

After two days of hard work, Xiao Ziyu and Xiao Jing'er got all the account books right, and Xiuqing and Xiuxin also checked all the warehouses of the public middle school, and there was not much discrepancy.

Sure enough, it was Mrs. Xiao who was in charge, and from top to bottom, no one really dared to make a big fight.

Of course, there are some accounts that are also a little wrong, but the amount is not large, and it can be within the acceptable range, so Xiao Ziyu and Xiao Jing'er will not be pursued.

Xiao Ziyu was in charge of the internal affairs of the East Palace in his previous life, and later he was in charge of the Sixth Palace, and he was also familiar with the government and politics, so he naturally knew everything well, greed is human nature, no matter where it is, it is inevitable.

As long as there is a degree of relaxation, there is no need to come at a glance, these things, Xiao Ziyu has an account in his heart.

In this way, all the handovers are equivalent to all being completed, Xiao Ziyu plans to gather all the housekeepers and daughters-in-law together tomorrow, and some things should be explained.

In the future, someone will violate her taboo, and don't blame yourself for not reminding them when the time comes.

It is said that the three fires of the new official will definitely be burned.

It just so happens that this is a day off.

Xiao Ziyu and Xiao Jing'er also really felt a little tired in the past two days.

"By the way, what's going on with Luo Shuilian?" In the past two days, I haven't been able to take care of Luo Shuilian, and even how my father discusses his own family affairs, Xiao Ziyu can't take care of it.

"I didn't go over to see it, but Ying'er came to report at any time, these days I ate and drank medicine on time, and my body has been much better, I said, although the medicine is difficult to drink, but the effect is really good. Xiao Jing'er blinked and said.

Xiao Ziyu nodded, "She should be able to leave." ”

"It should be fine. Xiao Jing'er nodded.

"Okay, let's go for a trip, I'm going to take my mother as a housekeeper from tomorrow, you must be busy too, you don't have time to take care of her, let her go." Xiao Ziyu said impatiently.

Although Xiao Jing'er regretted that she couldn't toss Luo Shuilian anymore, Xiao Ziyu said so, and Xiao Jing'er would definitely not object, so she had to agree.

The two sisters came to the chrysanthemum house together.

Xiao Zimeng has not paid attention to Luo Shuilian in the past few days, in fact, Xiao Zimeng's original purpose of staying was to monitor Luo Shuilian. As long as Luo Shuilian doesn't get into trouble, Xiao Zimeng doesn't bother to care about her life or death, if she can, Xiao Zimeng really hopes that Luoshui Lan will disappear as soon as possible, and stop worrying about herself.

But it happened that the weather was good and sunny today, Xiao Zimeng was reading on the wicker chair, but she didn't feel cold.

Xiao Ziyu and Xiao Jing'er entered the courtyard, and just saw Xiao Zimeng reading, and couldn't help laughing, "Cousin doesn't feel cold?"

Xiao Zimeng heard the movement, so she stood up, saw that it was Xiao Ziyu, and said with a smile, "It's my cousin and sister Jing who are here." ”

The two sisters met Pingli, and they were relatively close.

"Why did my cousin come over freely?" Xiao Zimeng asked.

"I'm coming to see Miss Luo. Xiao Ziyu didn't hide her purpose, "I've been very busy these days, I'm going to officially start taking charge of the house from tomorrow, I think that Miss Luo's body is getting better, I really can't take care of Miss Luo, so I just let Miss Luo go back and raise it." ”

Xiao Zimeng is a smart person, so he naturally understands the meaning of Xiao Ziyu, which is obvious, that is, he wants Luo Shuilian to get out.

However, Xiao Zimeng understood very well, if it was herself, she would have wanted Luo Shuilian to get out of here.

"Okay, that's how it should be, my cousin's health should be much better, and it's time to go back. Xiao Zimeng said again and again.

Xiao Zimeng originally wanted to go over together, but Xiao Ziyu took Luo Shuilian's hand and said, "Cousin, don't go over, Miss Lu will blame you when the time comes, Miss Luo and I won't see each other a few times a year, and you will have to face each other day and night." ”

Xiao Ziyu's words were all for Xiao Zimeng's sake, she actually didn't want Xiao Zimeng's relationship with Luo Shuilian to be too bad.

In fact, Xiao Zimeng didn't care for a long time, with such a cousin, it was also Xiao Zimeng's bad luck for eight lifetimes.

"It's okay, anyway, my cousin has long hated me to death, I'll go together, at the critical moment, there are some words that my cousin can't say. ”

"Thank you, cousin. Xiao Ziyu said sincerely.

The three sisters came to the door of Luo Shuilian's room together, Xiao Jing'er knocked on the door, and the person who opened the door was Ying'er.

When Ying'er saw the three of them, she hurriedly leaned over and saluted.

Xiao Ziyu asked, "How is it, is Miss Luo better?"

Ying'er replied, "It's much better, three girls, Jing girl, Dream girl, please come in." ”

Luo Shuilian was half-lying on the bed, closing her eyes to recuperate, and when she heard the movement, she sat up, but she didn't expect to see Xiao Ziyu, Xiao Zimeng, and Xiao Jing'er.

When Luo Shuilian saw these three people, she hated the root of her teeth, but she was a little helpless.

Luo Shuilian just snorted coldly, and then turned her face away.

Xiao Ziyu looked at Luo Shuilian, in fact, Xiao Ziyu looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, such a fool, I really don't know what is the use of living?

What a waste of air and food to live.

"What does Miss Luo think?" Xiao Ziyu sat down directly and asked.

Luo Shuilian didn't speak, when Xiao Ziyu was air.

Xiao Ziyu was not annoyed, because it was really not worth it to worry about Luo Shuilian.

"I look at Miss Luo's complexion is not bad, why don't Miss Luo go back and raise it." Xiao Ziyu said lightly.

Luo Shuilian suddenly became angry, she had been drinking bitter medicine for the past few days, and she wanted to get better quickly, just to find a chance to meet Xiao Jingchen, but her body just got up, and Xiao Ziyu actually let her go, which was really too much.

That combined with her suffering in the past few days will be in vain, absolutely impossible.

"Miss Xiao, my body has just improved, this ice and snow, aren't you afraid that I am suffering from the cold? I am also a guest of the Xiao family. Luo Shuilian said angrily.

Xiao Ziyu looked at Luo Shuilian's blushing face and arguing with herself, Xiao Ziyu really thought it was funny.

"Miss Luo, there are some things that I don't want to say clearly, I want to save face for everyone, Miss Luo should accept it when she sees it. Xiao Ziyu's tone was still not impatient.

When Luo Shuilian heard this, she was even more annoyed, she felt that she was the one who took advantage of the reason, and Xiao Ziyu was ignoring her like this, so she said unceremoniously, "Xiao Ziyu, what do you mean?"

Du Juan looked at this situation and knew for sure that Xiao Ziyu must have known everything, so she thought about reminding Luo Shuilian, but she didn't dare to remind Luo Shuilian directly, she just glanced at Luo Shuilian.

Luo Shuilian was angry at the moment, where could I see the explicit hint of the cuckoo, the main thing Luo Shuilian is not a smart person, so he can't see it.

"Okay, since Miss Luo doesn't want to be faced, then I'll just make it clear. Xiao Ziyu smiled, but her expression was cold, "Miss Luo, don't think that I don't know how you got sick, and what is your purpose in staying in the Xiao family?" I just don't want to say it explicitly, I let you go, but also to save face, since you don't care, then I don't need to scruple, I tell you clearly, you and my eldest brother is impossible, if you leave now, everyone can treat it as if nothing happened, if you are still blindly entangled, then don't blame me for being unkind, these days, you have suffered enough to make you unforgettable? I can guarantee that if you leave obediently, there will be more suffering waiting for you. Xiao Ziyu's words were like a hammer, striking Luo Shuilian's heart one by one.

In fact, Xiao Ziyu's words didn't leave any face for Luo Shuilian, it was more serious than slapping Luo Shuilian fiercely, and it was equivalent to stripping Luo Shuilian naked on the street.

Luo Shuilian bit her lower lip tightly, she really didn't expect Xiao Ziyu to know everything, she always thought it was just a good secret she hid, but in Xiao Ziyu's eyes, it was a joke from beginning to end, how could Luo Shuilian stand it?

Tears almost swirled in Luo Shuilian's eyes, she raised her head, looked at Xiao Zimeng fiercely, and roared viciously, "Xiao Zimeng, you are my own cousin, are you treating me like this? Is it good for you to watch me make a fool of myself? Do you hate me so much? Do you want me to die?" Luo Shuilian's emotions collapsed a little, and she almost vented all her anger on Xiao Zimeng, because she really felt too embarrassed and aggrieved.
