The two housekeepers and daughters-in-law of the Song Li family and the Feng Shu family both retired.

Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Ziyu and asked with some concern, "Yu'er, the second wife looks like this, nothing will happen." ”

Mrs. Xiao didn't expect that on the first day she took over the power of the family, the Rong family would be able to deal with them like this, which was really a bit too much.

But if this matter is not handled well, it will definitely cause an uproar, and Rong's is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Mother doesn't have to worry, the second wife just wants to fight with me, it's not a big deal, mother doesn't have to take it to heart. Xiao Ziyu smiled and comforted.

On the first day of the family, this kind of thing was encountered, which was also a big setback for Mrs. Xiao.

In fact, Mrs. Xiao has not been in charge of any family affairs for so many years, she has always dealt with things in her own room, and there is still Yu's mother, so she really hasn't had much experience.

So now Xiao Ziyu is trying her best to train all the subordinates of the Guogong Mansion and have an independent operation process, so that Mrs. Xiao will be familiar with it and handle things in the future, which will be more handy.

Xiao Ziyu estimated that it would take two or three years, and it should be almost okay.

Xiao Ziyu really tried her best to pave a broad road for Mrs. Xiao, and it was also painstaking.

"Yu'er, it's all useless from my mother, but she makes you mess up everywhere and makes you worry. Mrs. Xiao said with some guilt.

"It's okay, mother, don't be presumptuous, in this life, I really feel very happy and honored to be a mother's daughter. Xiao Ziyu said sincerely, in fact, she is really grateful to God for giving her the opportunity to start over, so that she can live without being so guilty.

Mrs. Xiao was a little sad to hear it, and she didn't know why she heard Xiao Ziyu say such a thing, her heart hurt so much, and this feeling made her very uncomfortable.

"Mother, let me take care of this matter. ”

Mrs. Xiao adjusted her mood for a moment, and then said, "Yu'er, I'll go with you, what's the matter, let's face it together, I don't want you to protect me like this all the time, in fact, the most important thing is for me to protect you." ”

Xiao Ziyu looked at the firmness in Mrs. Xiao's eyes, and was very happy in her heart, Xiao Ziyu knew Mrs. Xiao's temperament too well, in fact, she was really not a person who liked to cause trouble, she had always been able to endure it, hoping to be harmonious.

It's just that this kind of temperament is too soft and not suitable to be a housewife.

As long as Mrs. Xiao can slowly start to change, Xiao Ziyu feels that this is a good start.

Xiao Ziyu nodded and said, "Okay, mother and I will go to see the second wife together." ”

So, the mother and daughter came to the second room together.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, the maid hurriedly greeted her, "Say hello to the eldest lady and the third girl." ”

Mrs. Xiao asked in a deep voice, "What about your wives?"

The maid smiled and said, "If you go back to the eldest lady, our wife is not in the room, and she will go out early in the morning." ”

Xiao Ziyu frowned, "The second wife is out?"

The girl nodded and said, "Yes, our wife is not in the house. ”

Xiao Ziyu looked at the girl and asked directly, "Did your wife go out and report to the old lady?"

The maid's expression was a little stiff, and she lowered her head and said, "This slave and maid are not clear, and the matter of the wife will definitely not be asked by the slave and maid." ”

Xiao Ziyu didn't say anything, just turned around and left.

Mrs. Xiao also followed.

"Yu'er, what does the second wife mean by this?"

Xiao Ziyu sneered, "She had long expected that I would come to look for her, so this is considered to be avoided, if I guessed correctly, she should have gone back to Rong's house." ”

Mrs. Xiao was even more puzzled, "What is the second wife going to do? ”

"I naturally know what she means, the treasury of the Song Li family is full of ingredients and supplements, the most precious is this blood swallow, the second wife this time, just wants me to fill the gap, she is also venting her inner anger, because the old lady handed over this housekeeper to her mother and me, and also stood behind me unswervingly to support me, the second wife was angry and did such a thing. Xiao Ziyu explained.

Mrs. Xiao nodded clearly, "I see, in fact, the deficit of these six catties of blood swallows is not too much, it is only about 10,000 taels of silver, so it is better for me to come out with this 10,000 taels of silver." ”

10,000 taels of silver is really not a large amount for Mrs. Xiao, when Mrs. Xiao got married, but ten miles of red makeup, all kinds of precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, countless grange shops, the annual interest is a lot, and there is absolutely no shortage of money in her hands.

The Guogong Mansion is also regarded as the leader of the imperial capital, and it is needless to say that the family background is definitely not worse than the Mo family, and it will definitely not calculate the dowry of the daughter-in-law.

So Mrs. Xiao's dowry has really saved a lot over the years.

Although Mrs. Xiao is not familiar with general affairs, the stewards who accompany her to marry are all good at business.

Yu's mother is also a shrewd person, these subordinates are all fiercely loyal to Mrs. Xiao, of course, there are also some greedy ink, but all of them are within a reasonable range, so Mrs. Xiao is really not short of money.

Of course, Mrs. Xiao is also in charge of Xiao Qinghe's outer study and private treasury.

These are all Xiao Qinghe's private property, although Xiao Qinghe's relationship with Mrs. Xiao has not been too harmonious over the years, but these things, since the two of them got married, have all been handed over to Mrs. Xiao to manage, Xiao Qinghe is the favorite minister of Emperor Taihe, and there is no need to say anything else.

So Mrs. Xiao is really not short of money, 10,000 taels of silver, she really didn't look at it.
