22. Secret seizure

"What is this doing?" Yao Keqing picked up Mama Yao, who wanted to kneel down and ask for sin, "I know that Mama is all for my sake, Mama just didn't say that Uncle Yao has helped her mother take care of the dowry all these years in order to avoid suspicion, if I hadn't asked, Mama wouldn't have said it! Mama asked me to ask my grandfather's family for help, but my mother is a married daughter after all, and I am just a granddaughter, after all, there is a layer of separation." www.biquge.infoBesides, I'm still young, where can I manage this, and I still need Uncle Yao's help, otherwise how can the old lady let go of her mouth? Let Uncle Yao and Uncle Mao take care of their mother's dowry, it is my grandfather's intention, and the old lady has no reason to refute it!"

"It's the old slave who wants to go wrong! The old slave went to find the two of them. Mama Yao touched her face embarrassedly, and followed Yao Keqing out of the yard.

"Sister Qing, come here!" As soon as he entered the door of the conference hall, Yao Keqing was treated extremely warmly by the old lady, for Miao's enthusiasm, Yao Keqing almost thought that the old lady recognized the wrong person, and recognized herself as Yao Kerou, but she called her own name? Yao Keqing calmly crossed the screen, saluted the old lady and was about to sit aside, but was pulled by the old lady, "Sister Qing, just sit next to me!" Yao Keqing sat silently, obediently half held in the arms of the old lady.

"Mother, since Sister Qing has arrived, let them all come in?" Xiao Miao's family has been coveting Fang's dowry for a long time, so naturally she has to follow the old lady to take a closer look, and Miao also needs someone to help her, and the best candidate is naturally Xiao Miao.

The old lady said "um", and the mother-in-law opened the curtain and went out, and after a while, dozens of stewards of different heights, shortness, fat and thinness, aged between their twenties and forties, came in. The stewards bowed their heads and saluted respectfully, and someone took the account book from their hands and sent it to the back of the screen. Miao's aunt and nephew were very excited to see the account book, but Xiao Miao was good at hiding his emotions, and his face was still quiet, and Miao was a little overjoyed, grabbed the account book in his hand and looked at it carefully, forgetting for a while that there was still a group of stewards standing outside.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the screen, and the stewards outside were all confused, thinking, this year is not the old lady's director, could it be that even the two stewards who came into contact with him in previous years have changed? Otherwise, why haven't you seen you for so long? Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally a tall and strong steward opened his mouth: "I don't know who took care of the eldest lady's dowry this year?"

When Xiao Miao heard this eldest lady, he stabbed in his heart, but Miao didn't pay attention to this, and was about to say "It's me" when someone suddenly came in outside the door and said: "Steward Yao and Steward Mao ask to meet." ”

Yao Pu and Mao Song are already the stewards of the old lady's side, one is inside the master, the other is outside, very decent, although the old lady is gone, the old lady is very unkind to those who have helped the old lady, but they dare not treat them blatantly, although they still hold the title of steward, leading the monthly salary of the chief steward, but they are no longer on an errand in the house.

Hearing that Steward Yao and Steward Mao were coming, the old lady was not happy, she had already sent people out, why did they still come? Which one of the men on the door let them in?

The stewards below were all relieved, and before the old lady could speak, the tall and strong steward said, "Why did Steward Yao and Steward Mao come? Why did they come in?"

The old lady was angry, now she is the one with the highest status in the Changxiang Houfu, she doesn't speak, who dares to speak nonsense? Although she held her breath, the Miao family still asked people to invite them in, Yao Mao and the others saluted the people behind the screen one by one, and the old lady asked in an unkind tone: "Why are you here?" The next sentence 'Who called you here?' didn't dare to ask.

"Back to the old lady's words," Yao Pu said that although he looked thin and thin, he spoke with a lot of energy, "The old slave heard that the eldest lady's dowry steward has entered the house, and I thought that the old lady is gone this year, maybe the second lady will take care of these things herself, so I sent the account books of the previous years together, and now I am outside the door." ”

Hearing Yao Pu say this, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, since she was going to give the account book to Yao Keqing, it was not in her own hands in the end, and turned to Yao Keqing again, "Sister Qing, what are you going to do with these account books?" Without waiting for Yao Keqing to answer, she continued, "You are still young now, how can you understand this? or grandmother will help you take care of it for two years first, and then talk about it when you are older." As he spoke, he had to have the accounts sent to Shou'antang.

"Grandmother, my granddaughter doesn't understand, but Steward Yao and Steward Mao both understand, just have them in charge, how can you use your granddaughter. Just let Yao and Mao take care of it, they will never lose what their granddaughter deserves! Besides, how can the granddaughter be embarrassed to bother her grandmother?" Yao Keqing opened his mouth lightly, and immediately handed over the power of accounting to Yao Mao and the others.

Xiao Miao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Yao Keqing so indifferent, thinking that the old lady would be able to work harder.

Miao almost laughed when she heard Yao Keqing's words, as long as she didn't care, she was still afraid that the two minions would not succeed, so she hurriedly put on a loving look on her face, "Grandmother is tired of everything, just look at the account book, besides, when you grow up in a few years, you will be able to take care of yourself, and then grandmother will wait to enjoy your blessings......"

Before Miao finished speaking, Yao Keqing said impatiently: "How can my granddaughter be impatient to take care of this, didn't they all manage it before? In the future, let them continue to take care of it! If it is in the hands of my grandmother now, after a few years, I still have to let them take care of it, so in exchange for a few years, it will be more troublesome, it is better to let them take care of it directly from the beginning!"

When Miao Shi heard this, he was angry, and roared in his heart, since everyone is in charge, then why don't you let me take care of it, and ask a few slaves to take care of it?

Xiao Miao's was also sullen when she heard this, she didn't care too much, right? There was something unpleasant in her heart, she didn't care about such a large dowry, she tried her best to please her aunt to get the marriage, but Fang's stepped in sideways, and married in with a large amount of dowry to press herself everywhere, and the dowry that her family had poured all her wealth into looked extremely cold in front of her, and almost became a laughing stock......

"How can that be done?" Xiao Miao said when he saw that the old lady had a straight face, "Let them take care of it, that is to trust them and give them dignity, but you can't hand it all over to them! If they look at you as small, lose money, and deliberately make false accounts to fool you, where can you see it? You still need an experienced elder to help you palm your eyes! I am the aunt in the next room, so naturally I want to avoid this suspicion, so let the old lady help you take care of it! That is your grandmother, and she can naturally be trusted. ”

After listening to Xiao Miao's words, Miao's heart was much more comfortable, that is, he didn't take it for his own family, but let the group of minions take care of it, what's the matter?

Listening to Xiao Miao's words, Yao Keqing sneered in his heart, these two people still cooperate seamlessly! When I got married in my previous life, I was coaxed by you to give everything to you? When I got married in my previous life, the things on my mother's dowry list were the same, but I didn't see a single cent of the harvest of Zhuangzi and the shop every year, and couldn't it be that I didn't even earn a tael of silver for more than ten years? Didn't it fall into their hands, not only to take advantage of it, but also to get a good reputation, how could there be such a cheap thing!

"Of course I can trust my grandmother, but my grandmother is old, and it's not good to work her old man's mind, so it's better to let the second aunt work harder, right?" Anyway, the second aunt is quite capable......" Yao Keqing pretended to be ignorant and said casually.

As soon as the old lady heard this, her eyes widened, and Xiao Miao's heart was so uncomfortable, Xiao Miao was very happy to see Yao Keqing say this, and the joy on her face couldn't be hidden, but when she saw the old lady's eyes glaring, she froze on her face with a smile. I know in my heart that it is good to agree to it now, but the old lady will not let go of herself; the Fang family will come to send something to the long house every now and then, if he gives it to the old lady in private, the Fang family will know that it must be a trouble, saying that it is a small matter for him to use the dowry of his deceased sister-in-law to please his mother-in-law, and that it will be a big deal if he wants to make this money!

"Look at what Sister Qing said, how can the second aunt be so capable!" Xiao Miao smiled awkwardly, "The second aunt is still waiting for you to help the second aunt take care of the house when you grow up!

Yao Keqing waved his hand, with disdain in his tone, "How can people like us be bound by these copper-smelling things, and lose the face of the Yao family." Seeing the ugly face of the Miao aunt and nephew, Yao Keqing continued: "Our Yao family is a scholarly family, a family that has been hairpins for generations, and we are still short of that little money. Besides, they are all servants in the house, and even they themselves are the property of the Yao family, so I am afraid that they will not be able to do anything? Grandmother and second aunt are too worried!"

Miao was so angry that he almost brushed his sleeves away, but in the end he was reluctant to get the silver at hand, so he had to sit there with a calm face and not speak, and only after a long time did he say that since you are going to hand over the dowry to your second aunt, then let your second aunt take care of it! Anyway, it will be the same when he takes it from his niece, and he can settle down in front of people.

Yao Keqing didn't wait for Miao to speak before he spoke, "I think that grandmother and second aunt must be people with noble hearts, and they have no choice but to contaminate those worldly things, and now for the sake of me, a junior, forcing the elders to go against their own hearts to help Qing'er take care of housework, it is really Qing'er's unfilial piety! This not only damages the temperament of grandmother and second aunt, but also damages Qing'er's reputation, for the integrity of grandmother and second aunt, and for Qing'er's reputation, don't mention this matter again!" Yao Keqing's righteous words were full of people stunned!

Who can't talk big and empty words, since you reason with me, I will talk so that you have nothing to say!
