The Changgong of Chaoyang mainly picked up Shen Miaolan and Shen Yilan, and naturally he also wanted to inform the old lady of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. Not to mention the eldest princess's mansion, it is the grandmother of ordinary people who said that they would take their granddaughter to live for a few days, and the grandmothers had no reason to stop it. But at this juncture, it is inevitable that the old lady will be a little unhappy.

She made Shen Miaolan feel wronged, and the princess was about to pick up the two girls, obviously demonstrating to her. Signaled to her, even if Shen Miaolan and Shen Yilan are her granddaughters, they can't be left to her at will, they have a backstage.

The old lady did not want to see the third lady, mostly because she had a wonderful mother. Most of the reasons why they don't want to see Shen Miaolan and Shen Yilan is because they have a grandmother who pops up from time to time to support them with her identity. Let her be a grandmother, it's very shameless.

Although Shen Miaolan is not tactful, she is very eye-catching. At present, the most offended thing in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is the old lady, regardless of whether her father is a Shenwu general or not, a saint's favored minister, in this era of ruling the world with filial piety, in front of the old lady, her father has no status. Therefore, hugging the old lady's thigh, she can successfully counterattack. Grandmother or something, it's not for hatred.

After quickly analyzing the pros and cons, Shen Miaolan made a decision. On the grounds that the New Year was approaching, the third lady was busy with personnel and shopping, and needed the help of the two sisters at home, so she refused her grandmother's invitation.

When the old lady heard the news, she was very happy. For three consecutive nights, Shen Miaolan was left to eat in Rongshoutang. This move made the second room very nervous.

The second lady worked hard for a day, and when she returned to the room, she saw Shen Chunlan sitting on the soft couch and playing rope with the little maid, so she was angry. waved his hand to dismiss the little girl, and said to Shen Chunlan with a dark face, "You don't know the so-called idiot, you actually sit on the kang and play rope with the girl, and now the third room can be favored by the old lady." You don't go to the old lady to ask for some favor, learn from the three girls to study hard to learn the female red, cooking skills, and actually play rope with the girl here. Are you trying to your mother off?"

Shen Chunlan was reprimanded by her mother, both aggrieved and embarrassed, and her face turned red for a while. Stiffening his neck, he replied, "My mother herself suffered a loss from the third aunt, how can she sprinkle her anger on me? Who doesn't know that grandmother likes Guerlain's delicate and sensible first, and secondly likes the second sister's clever and cheerful. My grandmother had never liked me, so what did she do with her? ”

The second lady was choked by Shen Chunlan's unenterprising logic, her lips trembled, and she pinched her handkerchief and pointed at her for a long time speechless. On the side, Mother Ning gave Shen Chunlan a slap in the face, signaling her not to speak against the second lady again. Shen Chunlan was not convinced, but looking at the second lady's purple face, she knew that her mother had no good fruit to eat when she started the fire, so she had to quietly lower her head, pursed her lips and stopped talking.

The second lady scolded a few times, and she couldn't stand up in anger, and she was helped by Ning's mother to sit on the soft couch of Furong. Chunlan took the opportunity to sneak out quietly. Mother Ning took the tea bowl of birds and beasts painted in the Ru kiln and handed it to the second lady, "Mrs. take a sip of tea to dissipate her anger." The girl is still young, and she will be trained slowly in the future, so why do you bother to be so angry. ”

The second lady's angry face was slightly red, but she looked a little coquettish and lovely.

took a sip of tea and sighed, "It's almost time now, I'm already in charge of my mother's house at her age." But look at her, sitting there playing with children's stuff!"

It's not what you're used to, the age when you want to learn to write, I'm afraid that she won't be allowed to write when she's tired, and I'm afraid that I'll break my hand and won't let her move. She did everything for her, she didn't flip the rope to play, what would she do? Mother Ning had a lot of discussion in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it. After quickly reorganizing the above paragraph in his stomach, he said, "This girl is learning to manage the family's finances, and they are all coming step by step. Where is the truth of eating a bite to become fat. Since Madame wants to cultivate the second girl, it is better to take it step by step now. Seeing that the New Year is coming, let her take care of the accounts in the girl's yard from next year. ”

What Ning's mother said makes sense. But although Shen Chunlan's yard is not big, although the sparrows are small, they have all the organs, and it is very complicated to manage property and personnel. The second lady was not at ease at all, firstly, she was afraid that Shen Chunlan would work hard, and secondly, she was afraid that she would not be able to manage her subordinates and suffer losses.

Mother Ning saw the hesitation on the second lady's face, and said, "Now the girls in the house, not to mention the older second girl, have taken care of their own yards early, and the younger fifth girl will also take care of their own accounts this year." Now the second girl has just taken over, if something goes wrong, Mrs. can give some pointers, and it will be a success when she arrives at her mother-in-law's house in the future. Don't be hindered by others. ”

The second lady thought about it carefully, but it was also the truth. So he nodded in agreement.

Shen Miaolan, who was already in charge of things in her yard at the beginning of the year, was in a daze at the account book at this time. When it came to the liquidation at the end of the year, it was found that there was a serious discrepancy between the accounts and the facts, which was really enough to greet others several times in my heart!

Mother Yun saw that Shen Miaolan was depressed, lest she be in a hurry. Hurriedly asked someone to cook white fungus lotus seed soup and brought it over, and persuaded, "The girl is a housekeeper in her first year, and it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes." Just be cautious in the future. ”

Shen Miaolan took the soup and drank it while thinking about it. In this era, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are nothing more than a girl's plug-in, and the most important basic skills should be female celebrity and palm. Therefore, if you want to live a good life smoothly, the skills of the housekeeper must not be too weak. Shen Miaolan decided to learn from her sister Shen Yilan.

So she cheekily begged Shen Yilan to come and sort out this bad account for her.

As a sister, she should respond positively to Shen Miaolan's off-site assistance. So after blackmailing Shen Miaolan with a pair of treasured prints, Shen Yilan came to Shen Miaolan's Miaoxian Residence early the next morning to clean the door for her.

Shen Yilan, who was welcomed into the house by Shen Miaolan, sat in the main hall of the Little Flower Hall. said to Miao Lan, "You just watch from the sidelines today, don't interject." ”

Shen Miaolan nodded like pounding garlic, and obediently hid behind the screen. According to Shen Yilan's instructions the day before, he asked someone to bring over the roster and account books in the hospital. He also gathered all the maids and maids of the court.

Although Miaolan's courtyard is small, there are one or twenty servant girls of all sizes. For a while, the small flower hall was full of people.

Seeing that everyone was almost together, Shen Yilan cleared her throat and asked, "Are all the people here?"

Mother Yun stood aside and quickly glanced at everyone in the hall. said, "Back to the second girl, there are a total of 23 servants and girls in Miaoxian's residence, except for the sprinkler girl who is sick, and the mother-in-law Feng Er's family who is on leave and mourning. ”
