Counting, it should be Aunt Mei's cousin niece in her mother's family in the capital, also surnamed Mei.

Miss Mei is fifteen years old, and she came to serve Aunt Mei at the order of her parents, calling her cousin.

Earlier, the family was also an official, and later by the old Mei Ge, he was demoted to a commoner, and now he is just a girl from an ordinary family in the capital, and he invited a few old mothers.

He Jiaxian intuitively felt that Miss Mei's arrival was prepared for Fang Qirui.

But Miss May didn't make her feel bad.

She just played chess every day, stroked the piano, and struggled to dress up.

Anything He Jiaxian can't, she will.

But in addition to meeting and saluting, he never contacted Fang Qirui alone, nor did he visit He Jiaxian.

After wondering for a while, seeing that the other party did not hinder anything, He Jiaxian also went with her.

It's just that you should eat, drink, dress and take care of it well.

Her insurance career has been carried out vigorously, Ding Yue was very happy after receiving a compensation of fifty taels of silver from He Jiaxian: "Although this bit of silver is nothing, it is also an expense in the end." It's great not to take it from the dowry. ”

When she bought insurance, it was only five taels of silver per month, and she paid it for three months in a row.

After collecting five hundred taels, He Jiaxian handed over the silver to Fang Qirui: "...... You use it to do business. ”

Fang Qirui's fur shop can't make much money, and Fang Baoqian's industry is specially taken care of by a bookkeeper, and he is very clear.

Twelve-year-old Fang Baoqian also began to learn to manage accounts with Mr. Bookkeeper.

He Jiaxian finally discovered that Miss Mei's target was probably not Fang Qirui, but Fang Baoqian.

She is often in the account room occasionally, Miss Mei, and generally Fang Baoqian is also there.

However, in the end, he is only a half-old child, and there is still a year before the young master of a large family is thirteen years old and tries to be a human being.

What's more, He Jiaxian disciplined them, but he didn't put much effort into this.

"Miss Mei is interested in managing accounts?" asked Ho Ka-yin with a smile.

Miss Mei was thin-skinned, and immediately turned red: "Most of my family are scholars, and no one has done business yet, so I am curious and want to take a look." ”

He Jiaxian smiled: "Since you are interested, it is not a bad thing." Our family is in business. Although I don't care about the shop now, I still have to calculate the expenses of a large family. Why don't you come with me?"

Saying that, he smiled at Mengli and said, "Go and get the account book for Miss Mei." ”

Then he said to Miss Mei, "Let's go to the flower hall to see." If there is anything you don't understand, the second master is back, you can also ask him. ”

Miss Mei's face immediately blushed with embarrassment: "Second master...... Inconvenient. ”

Seeing that she really didn't come for Fang Qirui, He Jiaxian became more and more convinced of his suspicions, and secretly hated Aunt Mei for actually hitting Fang Baoqian with her idea.

She couldn't help but think of an allusion.

There was an emperor in the Ming Dynasty who had a big palace maid by his side, surnamed Wan.

He was nine years older. Basically, it's a single-handed one-handed one-handed one-handed

When the emperor succeeded to the throne, he sealed the concubine, and she was the only one in the harem, ruthless and vicious.

The emperor has a deep affection for this "eldest sister like a mother", and blindly connived, and in the end the heirs are not guaranteed.

She glanced at Miss Mei a few times, thinking of that Wan Guifei, she snorted coldly in her heart, her face was silent, and she only pulled her to look at the accounts together.

Later, as long as there was a maid who said that Miss Mei was dangling in front of Fang Baoqian again, she would immediately appear and take Miss Mei away.

After repeating this a few times, Miss Mei also realized something, and said secretly to Aunt Mei: "I'm afraid that the second grandmother will find out." ”

"Perceive what, you go while no one is around. Don't be in such an eye-catching place in the account room, won't it become?" Fang Baoqian held such a big industry, and the three generations of the Fang family couldn't finish eating and drinking, how could she be willing to think that one day she would give it to others?

If her son doesn't fight or fight, she can only go sideways.

Seeing that Aunt Mei would not give up until she reached her goal, and the ardent expectations of the family when she came, Miss Mei gritted her teeth and decided to stick to this cause.

If you can't do it at the door of the account room, then go back to the garden.

Fang Baoqian was reading, and Fang Qikai pointed out what he didn't understand.

Miss Mei was wearing a pink gauze skirt, her steps were light, and she mustered up the courage to step forward and whisper to Fang Baoqian, "Young Master Sun?"

Fang Baoqian looked up and saw that it was her, and smiled: "What's the matter with Sister Mei?" Recently, he always met this Sister Mei by chance, and sometimes said a few words, she was very concerned about him.

"Seeing that the weather was hot, I was afraid that you would be tired from studying, so I made herbal tea for you. Miss Mei asked the maid to put the tea she was holding: "Let's rest for a while." ”

"Thank you, Sister Mei. Fang Baoqian lowered his head and felt that he didn't bring a sweat towel, so he casually wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and then gave up a round stool: "Sister Mei also sits." ”

Seeing that Fang Baoqian was not disgusted with herself, and there was no hostility, Miss Mei smiled, with a girl's three-point smile: "Don't wipe it with your sleeve." She handed over her handkerchief, with the fragrance peculiar to a girl.

Fang Baoqian didn't think much about it, took it and wiped it, and put it on the table: "When I ask the girl to wash it, I will return it to Sister Mei." ”

"It's okay. "If you want to do things quickly, you can't do it. The care and concern have been delivered, and it is a little abrupt to stay.

Miss Mei smiled: "Then you study hard, I'll go back first." ”

Saying that, she bowed and walked away.

Fang Baoqian studied for a while, and found that when it was time to go to the account room, he was more tired than other children in the Fang family.

He Jiaxian was afraid that he would complain about himself in the future, so he let him study on the one hand, and let him learn to manage accounts on the other.

When he is older and can make his own decisions, he can do whatever he wants. Don't be like Fang Qirui, who was forced to read books for more than ten years, and in the end people just wanted to do business.

Fang Baoqian didn't know He Jiaxian's hard work, but he was an obedient child, and both sides worked hard.

Who called him the eldest grandson of the Fang family?

It's a responsibility!

Since he was born, he has been on his shoulders.

Fang Baoqian hurriedly said goodbye, leaving a handkerchief on the table.

He forgot.

Fang Qikai held it in his hand and lost his mind for a moment.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the invited Mama has finally arrived.

He Jiaxian didn't ask Aunt Mei to recommend it, and he also rejected the reliable one used by Fang Qirui's business friend's family, which she found on the street herself.

That day, Ding Yue asked her to go to the house for tea, and when she went out, she saw a mother-in-law scolding on the road, scolding no one else, but her daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law didn't say a word, just stood quietly, and waited for the old man to finish scolding before she stepped forward to help: "Mother, if you are angry enough, let's go back." If that's not enough, you keep scolding. ”

The mother of the Zhen family who sent He Jiaxian out whispered: "This one is a hidden master. ”

He Jiaxian wondered, the mother knew that this lady was a friend of her master, and the two often interacted, so she had a desire to please him, and wanted to tell He Jiaxian about this gossip: "This daughter-in-law is said to have come out of the palace, and she has served nobles before." ”

Mom covered her mouth and muttered: "Later, when I got older, I didn't keep it, and I was released from the palace at the age of 25." It is said that the noble man also sent people to see her a few times, which shows that she is assertive. Otherwise, it is not difficult to become an aunt in the palace in the face of the blue eyes of the nobles. ”

"Maybe she wants to get married. went back to Yanzhou City, which is her hometown. Mom pouted, a little pity: "Actually, she still has some background in her family, and later married the Qi family in our back alley." Since the Qi family entered the door, the young master died, and it was her father-in-law. Now there is only one mother-in-law left, and she scolds her when she is unhappy. ”

Strange to say, her mother-in-law scolded her, but she couldn't do without her. Scolding for one day and stopping for two days. The mother smiled: "Sometimes others say that she is a daughter-in-law, but her mother-in-law is still protecting." ”

"That's because she didn't remarry. Sydney guessed.

"It's not. It's her good means that she can always coax her mother-in-law. The mother smiled, although she was a little disdainful of the daughter-in-law in her words, but she listened to the tone with a little appreciation: "She wants to remarry, and her mother-in-law promised to transfer all the family property to her name, so she didn't remarry." But she kept her promise and took care of her mother-in-law all the time. ”

"Then where is she so powerful?" Thinking that this mother actually used the phrase hidden to describe the daughter-in-law, He Jiaxian was a little interested.

"Be sleek, dripping. The mother was still smiling: "Look at her, she killed her husband, her mother-in-law can't do without her, and she holds all the property of her mother-in-law's family, and we are full of praise for her, isn't this amazing?"

She smiled flatteringly at He Jiaxian: "This sentence is hidden from our wife." She asked this daughter-in-law to go to the house to teach us the rules of the young lady, but who knew that she was refused. ”

The daughter-in-law said to her wife: "Her rules are all rules for serving people, and the rules that Miss Zhen has to learn are the rules for disciplining people, and the way is different." ”

Madame didn't embarrass her, so she said, if you figure it out, the Zhen family still welcomes you to come. Later, after she was gone, the lady told the old slave that this person was really hidden. The mother finished talking in one breath, and the daughter-in-law had already helped her mother-in-law into the door.

He Jiaxian thought about his mother's words, and thought of Ding Yue's evaluation of her, so he thought about it and ordered Sydney to inquire.

Sydney inquired back, and then said, "It's so good, that mother didn't finish speaking." She paused, feeling like sowing discord, and said with a smile: "Look at what I said, it should be that mother doesn't understand the Tao......

"The Qi family is not poor, and there are a few shops and several subordinates at home. Sydney poured out the things she inquired about: "She and her husband are childhood sweethearts, and they said that they would get married when they left the palace." Her mother-in-law felt that it was not credible, and forced her to marry another father-in-law, but his father-in-law insisted on not marrying. ”

She didn't know what method she used, but she didn't offend the nobleman when she did everything she could to keep her, but she still got out of the palace smoothly. Sydney smacked her lips: "The two of them are just getting married." Later, she fell ill and died. ”

"Everyone said that she was powerful, it meant that she was far away and could ask the nobles in the palace to take care of her, and even the eldest lady of the Congjia met her on the street, and she made up her mind to ask her to teach the sister of the Congjia. She didn't agree, but she was never annoyed from home, and the eldest lady also said the same thing as Mrs. Zhen, and the door of the house was open for her at any time. Sydney said: "I see, the former Mama Cui, although she was powerful, was also because of her age." If it is said to be capable, I am afraid that the daughter-in-law of the Qi family is far above Mama Cui. ”

He Jiaxian heard the words of the eldest lady Cong, who had never looked at anything, indicating that in the eyes of the ancients, this person probably had some real skills.

She has never liked those etiquette rules, and she can't see any doorways. Before studying with Mama Cui, it was only three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, but later when she became pregnant, she was even more stranded.

Until Mama Cui left, she didn't learn anything.

However, she was young at that time, and because of her connivance, she could fool the past sloppily, so it was just that.

To be honest, she doesn't like Mama Cui's dogmatic teaching. Later, because the two girls who were studying had said that their in-laws were engaged, Mama Cui retired.

Now that Ran Ran is getting bigger day by day, because of laziness and naivety in the middle, the ones that he learned from Mama Cui have basically been returned, and Fang Qirui has paid attention to it again.

Compared with the last study, He Jiaxian did not dare to slack off on this correction and learning.

It's not good to tell Ran Ran to get married, like her, swallow her anger and be constrained everywhere.

This lady of the Qi family is really a good candidate.

Thinking of this, Ho Ka Xian decided to visit him in person.

It's just that as soon as the post was handed over, the lady of the Qi family had already passed the news: "Second Grandma Fang doesn't have to come to the door, I am willing to teach Miss Xiao." ”

He Jiaxian was surprised inexplicably, and deliberately asked the lady of the Qi family to set a date, just waiting for the affairs of the family to be dealt with.

Finally, I came around 10 a.m. and went back at about 4 p.m., teaching for two hours and having lunch.

On the day of the visit, He Jiaxian deliberately dressed up seriously, and Miss Mei said that she wanted to see the rules of the palace and follow along.

Fang Qikai teased Fang Baokun in Tinglan Courtyard, and went out to see the ceremony together.

Qi Niangzi was wearing a plain cloth skirt, simple and clean, and came over to pay a salute.

He Jiaxian saw that her etiquette was similar to that of Mama Cui, so he hurriedly returned one.

Qi Niangzi looked around at everyone, and several children hurriedly said in unison: "Sir." ”

"Well, that's what you call it. The first act that He Jiaxian didn't expect began, and she was justified as a "sir", unlike others who always politely excused themselves.

For example, Mama Cui said at the time: "An old idler, I can't afford to be called so by the young masters and young ladies, just call Mama." ”

Qi Niangzi's expression was arrogant and confident, her face was shining, she glanced at Ran Ran, and bowed over.

Ran Ran was stunned for a moment, and looked at He Jiaxian with some puzzlement. But without waiting for He Jiaxian to answer, he nodded to Qi Niangzi with some joy.

Qi Niangzi said to He Jiaxian: "The son can be taught." ”

He Jiaxian hadn't even understood it, but Ran Ran had already taken a step forward, and he also learned from her before he bowed down and bowed.

Qi Niangzi also smiled and nodded.

"I see. Fang Qikai smiled: "This is a dumb riddle." The gentleman said that this is the student who is going to teach. Ran Ran said, exactly. Then salute Mr. Exactly, Mr. said. ”
