Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Steward

There was a group of maids waiting under the eaves of Changsong Courtyard, and Qin Yuwan entered the house with a smile, "Mother and second aunt have had breakfast so early." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

The eldest lady sat as steady as Mount Tai and didn't move, "I just served my mother and had breakfast, and my younger siblings didn't know it." ”

To put it bluntly, the same daughter-in-law, you come to walk around every day when you lie idle and think about it, and there is no filial woman who will not serve her mother-in-law.

When the second lady came in, she was puzzled by her, and she didn't stop talking in front of the juniors, not to be outdone, and said, "I'm not as good as my sister-in-law, the capable person under my mother's ordinary mother manages the shop in the public middle school, but I reconcile with my sister-in-law on time." The sister-in-law's dowry is a lot, but it is probably some property, and the Zhuangzi field is in the mother's house in Liaodong Mansion, and there are only one or two shops in Beijing. I'm different, I always want to earn a little more and honor my mother, so naturally I don't have a sister-in-law to be idle. ”

"It's not a businessman's house." The eldest lady scoffed, "If you have money and money, your younger brother and sister can be cheesy." ”

The second lady couldn't reply, and her teeth itched with hatred.

While they were arguing, the old lady waved at Qin Yudui, who sighed hot on her palm, rubbed it, and pulled the old lady. The old lady touched her fingertips and said, "It's really cold in the morning, so I'll pick up the hand stove again." ”

Qin Yu was coquettish, "I've been copying it in my sleeve, so I'll take it out for a while, it's weird." ”

The second lady found an opportunity and said, "I heard that the fifth girl was sick yesterday, and I don't know what the situation is, what did the doctor say when he came?" If you want to lack any medicinal materials, go to my warehouse and get them. ”

The eldest lady was so embarrassed that she said unkindly, "It's not richer than the second room, but my sister can still get medicinal materials when she takes medicine." ”

The second lady ignored her and said to herself, "I don't know why, it's all three acres of land in the Qin Mansion, and it is rare for that girl to get sick in the first year, and there are few bumps." The three girls here are uncomfortable for three days and two ends, and the five girls are also like this, which is worrying. ”

Where can the eldest lady bear it, the second lady hurriedly grabbed the white, "Now the fifth girl is sick, and the third girl's body is not good, I said yesterday to listen to the master, the master still cares about the nephew's body, let the third girl have a good rest." Even if I have selfish intentions, I can't say it openly to dismiss the master's mind, otherwise it will seem that my aunt is doing so viciously. ”

Qin Yu said in his heart that it was interesting, this is not to be a praiser again, which daughter did you choose?

The eldest lady looked at the old lady's obscure face, and the corners of her mouth curled, "What do you mean by brother and sister?" At the beginning, you came to beg Sister Twilight to come back, Sister Twilight was frightened and returned home in a carriage so far away, and you left it behind to mess around? ”

The second lady knew that her own thoughts could be seen clearly in the eyes of the old lady, and she did not hide it, "I know that I am tired of the three girls, so I will come to apologize in the morning." ”

Qin Yudu's eyes fell on Mama Li's hand, a stack of brocade boxes, I don't know what it contained in the sandalwood box at the bottom, but the box alone can be given away, so carefully prepared, it seems that I am afraid of annoying the old lady.

Qin Yuwan himself was not interested in the matter of the ceremony, since the second lady put her sincerity on the table, she said, "I am happy to be able to help the eldest sister, and the middle father and aunt are thinking about my body, apology or something, but I am out of sight." ”

What an elbow to turn out! The eldest lady's sarcastic words choked in her throat, and she pouted in almost invisible disgust.

The main lady said that it didn't matter, and the old lady didn't say anything. The second lady didn't receive much ridicule, and opened her eyebrows comfortably, "I know that you are a reasonable person, and it makes me more and more uneasy, so I have to compensate you well." ”

The two of them were polite and polite, Shulian came in and said, "The reward of the three girls came to the palace." ”

Yesterday should have arrived, and today we should have come.

Qin Yu couldn't think of the way out of the door with his head stuffy, so he simply threw it behind his head and hugged the old lady out.

It was Tong Pinghuan's godson Tong Jian, who was not as good as his godfather, with two dimples on his face with a smile.

In addition to the rewards of the Ming Edict, there are also those who have not passed the Ming Dao and are rewarded.

As soon as the documents and land deeds were collected in the box, he handed them to Qin Yuwan and said with a smile, "One hundred hectares of good land, one hundred horses of Hangzhou silk and Shu brocade, five hundred gold and three thousand silver." "Stopped for a moment," the latter is the queen mother's other reward, a red sandalwood color lacquer cloisonnΓ© enamel smoker, a pair of blue and white folded branches and fruit pattern square bottles, a magpie climbing branch gold basin, and a lotus glass colored bead target mirror. ”

The eldest lady and the second lady glanced at each other, and their eyes were gloomy.

The old lady smiled, and the white jade bracelet that she didn't often wear faded from her hand and stuffed it into Tong Jian's hand, and Tong Jian put it into her sleeve and said goodbye to the Qin Mansion.

As soon as she sat down in the courtyard, the old lady said, "Mama Zhao picked up the box and said that it was more than ten miles behind the Ming Lake. ”

The eldest lady and the second lady couldn't hold back, one went to pick up the box in Mama Zhao's hand, and the other found the title deed account book and unfolded it for the old lady to see.

The three of them flipped through one by one, the expressions of the two ladies gradually stabilized, and the old lady was also satisfied, "Yes, yes, although there are few fertile fields for grain farming in Shanbaoer, fruit trees are planted on Shanbao'er, plus the land in Sister Duan'er's dowry, it is enough." I'm just talking about that, Sister Dusk, you're also full of confusion, when will I take you to see. ”

The two ladies did not stay to chat, said goodbye to the old lady, and went out together.

Qin Yuwan sent the two out of the courtyard, came back and took a piece of candied fruit from the table and ate, "Go and see the land, okay, but when it comes to the fields, I want to meet the steward of my Zhuangzi and the shopkeeper of the shop." ”

"What do you look like! Eat and talk! The old lady wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, "Why did you think of seeing your Zhuangzi shop again?" Your aunt watched it for you, and gave me the account books every year, which were very well kept. But your aunt can't help you watch for the rest of your life, but she wants to call someone to see you. ”

Qin Yuwan swallowed the candied fruit, took a sip of tea and washed the sweetness in his mouth, "Exactly, Grandmother Mingjian." It's just a matter of Guangyang Mansion, and my aunt doesn't have to worry about watching over there, it's this part of Kyoto, I want to see it. ”

The old lady touched her head lovingly and said, "According to you, you think it's okay to let them come to Changsong Courtyard to see you in the next two days?" ”

This is because I am afraid that Qin Yuxiao will not be able to suppress it, and he will help Shuwei.

Qin Yuwan was naturally happy, "That grandmother will teach me to read the accounts first, and then ask them to hand in the account books for the past few months, if I can take over, I will repair the books to my aunt, and I will take care of the Kyoto area by myself." ”

The old lady was afraid that she would develop a leisurely and elegant temperament, and when she got married, she couldn't take care of the dowry, so that some pickled people took advantage of the loopholes.

Now seeing that she is so active in learning housekeeping, she is so happy that she can't close her mouth, "Okay, I will teach you everything." ”
