Chapter 20: The Feed in the House
Murong Yue was stunned, looked at Qiyu's uninhibited face, lowered her head boringly and began to drink porridge, although there was nothing good in this ancient world, but I have to say that this dish is really much better than modern times, and it is clean and pollution-free.

"Second Miss, you have to chew slowly and swallow too loudly, otherwise it will be extremely rude." Kiyu spoke again.
"I... Ahem, can you eat without so many rules? Murong Yue said.
Qiyu shook her head and said, "You are the second lady of the General's Mansion, your words and deeds represent the General's Mansion, and you must have rules in doing things." ”
"I'm done." Murong Yue put the empty bowl on the table and stood up and said.
"Miss, please rinse your mouth." Qiyu said, Qingdai had already come over with a cup of tea and a spittoon.
Murong Yue looked at this scene and nodded, this is a good habit, she accepted it, took the teacup and took a sip of tea and spit it into the spittoon.
"Second Miss, please wipe your mouth." Qiyu handed the veil to Murong Yue and said.
Murong Yue did not make a mistake, then handed the handkerchief to Qiyu and said, "Can I go out now?" ”
"That's it." Kiyu nodded.
Murong Yue stretched her eyebrows at this time, lifted her skirt and walked outside, and before she was happy for half a second, she heard Qiyu say, "Second Miss, please put your skirt down." ”
"Oh." Murong Yue obediently put her skirt down.
"Second Miss, your steps are too big, take small steps, try not to move the skirt." Kiyu spoke again.
Murong Yue turned her head and said, "What else do you want, just say it at once." ”
"Only when the eldest lady makes a mistake, the slave will remind her." Kiyu said without fear.
"Come, you go." Murong Yue pointed to the bluestone road in front of her and said, just kidding, you can't move your skirt when you walk, so how can you go.
Qiyu nodded and stepped forward step by step, although the pace was small, but it was not slow, the most important thing was that the skirt really didn't move much, and it was really a lotus step by step.
"Second Miss, please, it's already two o'clock, and the old lady is already waiting." Kiyu spoke.
Murong Yue had no choice but to walk slowly, but her skirt was still fluttering, and she was constantly instructed by Qiyu, and finally because of lack of time, she had to walk over quickly.
"Say hello to my grandmother, hello to my aunt." Murong Yue knelt on the ground and said with a teacup.
"Well, get up." The old lady took the teacup and nodded.
Murong Qing stood aside and watched Murong Yue's movements, and couldn't help but sneer and said, "Second sister, who taught you this posture of serving tea, why are you as vulgar as a country girl?" ”
"Qing'er, don't be rude, that's your second sister, how can you be so rude." Mrs. Zhao hurriedly spoke, and the implication was naturally to affirm Murong Yue's rude words and deeds.
"Okay, the rules can't be learned in a day, eldest daughter-in-law, you taught Qing'er girl very well, and I am relieved that Yue Yatou will be handed over to you for training." The old lady spoke.
Mrs. Zhao was suddenly stunned, nodded and said, "The daughter-in-law should do her best." ”
"What's the best effort, you must train her well, otherwise you will be asked." The old lady saw through Mrs. Zhao's heart at a glance and spoke.
"Yes, old lady." Mrs. Zhao nodded and said.
"Yue girl, you will study with your aunt from today onwards, please be safe every morning and dusk, and be sure to bring me the account book clearly." The old lady spoke.
"Yes, grandmother." Murong Yue nodded, although she didn't want to be in charge of the feed, but she also knew that this was the old lady's kindness, and she wanted to cultivate her, how could she refuse ruthlessly, not to mention that there was still that ancestral hall waiting for her.
Since she can't go back for the time being, let's stop and stay for now, and when she finds a way to get the necklace, she must go home immediately.
Mrs. Zhao glanced at Murong Qing, and then said to Murong Yue with a smile: "Girl Yue, let's go with the eldest aunt, let's go to the warehouse today to have a look." ”
"Yes." Murong Yue complained in her heart, her smile was too fake, you must know that although she is a major in traditional Chinese medicine, she has read books about psychology, there are no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and her eye muscles are not moving, which is obviously a fake smile.
But it seems that he hasn't offended her, and then again, Mrs. Zhao's father-in-law is not her father, and there is no problem with her stepmother at all.
"Mother Lu, bring the account book of the warehouse, and call the person in charge of the warehouse to come and open the warehouse." Mrs. Zhao said.
"Yes." Mother Lu nodded, handed over the account book, and handed it to Murong Yue.
Mrs. Zhao looked at this scene and gritted her silver teeth, obviously as long as she took the middle feed, she could pocket the things of the General's Mansion, but the old lady, the old immortal, insisted on sending Murong Yue over.
Murong Yue took it and looked at her hand suspiciously, why was this woman's hand so slippery, but looking at her face, it was obviously a tough body, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Auntie, come and see." Murong Yue handed the thick stack of ledgers to Mrs. Zhao, because she really couldn't understand them, not to mention that the words in their articles here were in traditional Chinese, and she didn't understand the ancient bookkeeping methods.
Mrs. Zhao showed a smile on her face at this time, and took it in her hand, and the warehouse at this time was also opened, and the two of them and a group of maids and women walked in, and suddenly Mrs. Zhao's eyes straightened, and she looked at this gold, silver and jade, which was really worth 120,000 taels of gold.
Murong Yue was also stunned, she has lived until now, and she really saw what is a mountain of gold and silver, a jade mountain of gems, it turns out that the General's Mansion is so rich.
At this time, looking up at Mrs. Zhao's greedy eyes, Murong Yue instantly understood, no wonder the old lady must follow herself, this is knowing Mrs. Zhao's greed, let herself stare at it.
Should she take care of this matter, if she doesn't care, this Mrs. Zhao will definitely take these things for herself, but if she does, she will inevitably have a conflict with Mrs. Zhao, who knows what means she will use to frame herself at that time.
Murong Yue was in a dilemma at this time, recalling that General Murong and Murong Yu, and even Murong Yan, all loved herself, if she really sat back and watched like this, she couldn't help it, it was a big deal to be careful, it was difficult to kill her in the General's Mansion.
Thinking of this, Murong Yue settled down, standing there straight, her eyes were shining, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but look sideways, just for a moment, she felt that this Murong Yue was different.
"A mutton fat white jade net bottle, a four-gentleman screen, three pairs of red coral bracelets, a three-tailed phoenix hairpin, a pair of Lantian jade earrings, a red sandalwood table, two cold fragrant jade pendants, a piece of Luotian white jade, and a ....... of Tang Meng's relict landscape painting"
Murong Yue listened while watching Mrs. Zhao keep dotting and drawing on the ledger, only to feel that her brain was buzzing, oh my God, I have been counting for a morning, when will I finish counting, what other female rings does she have not written.
"Qiyu, you...."Murong Yue whispered to Qiyu.
