On the second day, when the juniors invited An, Mrs. Jiang couldn't wait to send them back, so she urgently ordered An to take the personnel roster and the account book of the shop Zhuangzi to check. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yesterday, An's had already told Jiang Mutong about the old lady's housekeeping, and Jiang Mutong had no objection.

When Mrs. Jiang asked for something, An handed over the prepared account book roster.

Mrs. Jiang flipped through the roster first, frowned and asked, "Why is it all your dowry?" Is there no one in the Jiang family? ”

An Shi replied word by word according to what Mama Tian taught yesterday: "Back to my mother, the people around the master take care of the shop and Zhuangzi. The family is full of trivial things, and they are a little condescending to take care of things. If the mother has a good candidate, she can also bring it useful. ”

When Mrs. Jiang heard that her son's people were all outside in charge of the key points, she nodded: "Well, there is nothing wrong with this division of labor." "My own manpower is in an important position in the Jiang family's compound, but I can't lose watermelons for sesame.

She turned over the personnel piece, turned over the account book, and said half-loudly: "Can you spend a hundred and ten taels of silver just for a day?" Do you eat flowers? ”

An looked at Mama Tian, and Mrs. Jiang saw it at a glance, and asked with a smile: "What does the third wife think of the minions around her?" Could it be that the person in charge of the feed behind him is a minion, and the third wife is just a puppet? ”

Old Mrs. Jiang listened and looked at An's: "Is this really the case?" ”

An Shi hurriedly said: "The big kitchen is all in the hands of Mama Tian, and the daughter-in-law is not too clear. ”

Mrs. Jiang "snapped" the account book still on the table, and said to An Shi: "The big kitchen is the most important place in the house, and you actually handed it over to a slave to take care of!" No wonder Sister Qian ate her stomach for nothing!"

An Shi hurriedly stood up: "Mother is angry! ”

"Humph! Fortunately, I came, otherwise I don't know what a mess it would have been. Such a small family is managed like this by you, and in the future, Brother Yuan will marry a daughter-in-law and there will be a large population, and he can't think that there will be any trouble! Mrs. An said: "You can learn from me during this time!" ”

As he spoke, he looked through the other account books, quickly finished reading, and asked, "That's it?" ”

An nodded: "The income and expenses of the public middle school are all here." ”

Mrs. Jiang's eyes were slightly downcast, and Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said, "Old lady, let's look at it first, and then talk about the rest." ”

An Shi was a little puzzled: "Mother, all the account books of the Shilang Mansion are here, and there is nothing else. ”

For An's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jiang has always been very proud, she can help her son progress in his career and flatter herself in front of herself, but now she has a little headache for her stupidity: "You go down first, it will take a few days to read the account book, and in the past two days, let's come according to the previous one." ”

Mrs. Jiang had just taken over Zhongyu, and in the afternoon, the eldest lady of Anfu, An Yu, came to visit her.

Mrs. Jiang didn't know what the situation of the An family was now, so she politely invited An Yushi into the upper room.

An Yushi asked him for peace, and after sitting down, he spoke to Mrs. Jiang with a smile: "I haven't seen her for a few years, and the old lady's body is still so tough." In the past, my aunt and grandmother regretted that they could not fulfill their filial piety by your side, but now they can look forward to you. The old lady could stay a few more days. ”

"An's filial piety, I have always known." Mrs. Jiang said, "Is my mother-in-law okay?" ”

An Yushi said: "Mother is fine. This time, I heard that you went to Beijing, thinking that the two in-laws have not seen each other for many years, and I want to come to see you in person. Who knew that before he went out, someone from his uncle's house would come to the door crying. Mother is so old and has to worry about a lot of things in her mother's family, it's really.... Alas"

An Yushi wanted to speak and stopped, wanted to say but didn't want to say.

Mrs. Jiang was curious about what could happen to Mrs. An's mother's family, it didn't seem to be a good thing, why didn't she say it and make everyone happy?

So she asked curiously: "What's wrong with Mrs. An's mother's family?" Is it so ignorant to worry about an aunt and grandmother who wants to get married? ”

An's face was also nervous.

An Yushi took a sip of tea, quietly glanced around, and then said embarrassedly: "It's all ugly." The old lady and sister are not outsiders, I just talked about it, the second sister-in-law of our old lady's mother's family, you know, right? ”

An frowned: "What's wrong with the second aunt?" ”

Mrs. Jiang has been staying in Anqing, and it is rare to listen to any gossip, and she was also aroused by An Yu's spirit, and asked, "What's wrong with her?" ”

An Yushi said with a disgusted face: "The second aunt was born in a small family and doesn't understand the rules. Newly married a daughter-in-law with a large dowry, you said that your uncle's family is not short of food or clothing, why is the second aunt so cheeky to reach out to the daughter-in-law's dowry? I don't know who passed it out, it's good, I was impeached by the imperial history the previous time, and what did the second uncle say about embezzling the daughter-in-law's dowry, being unkind to the old man, and losing the face of being an official, and begging the second uncle of the Holy Admiral to demote the official! How did the second uncle know about the inner house? I want to divorce my wife when I am angry! The second aunt didn't just cry and cry, so she came to our old lady. ”

An Shi listened to it and sighed that his second aunt was so confused.

Mrs. Jiang's face was cloudy, and she listened to An Yu's words "dowry" for a while, and scolded people for "shamelessness" for a while, and she couldn't help but ask her what she meant several times.

When I heard An Yushi say that her second uncle was impeached and demoted because of this matter, she was shocked and asked, "Why are you still demoted?" ”

An Yushi waited for her to ask this sentence, took a sip of tea and moistened his throat: "The law of our dynasty clearly stipulates that a woman's dowry is her private property, and her in-laws prohibit embezzlement and misappropriation without permission. Therefore, it is a very bad act for me to take my daughter-in-law's dowry. Our kind of family pays the most attention to decency, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, and the daughter-in-law's private property is grandchildren's sooner or later, who will touch the daughter-in-law's private property? Still shameless? Do you want to go out? Old lady, did you say? ”

Old Mrs. Jiang forced out a smile: "That's what her sister-in-law said." ”

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, An Yushi turned his head and asked, "Why don't you see their sisters?" ”

An Shi hurriedly instructed: "Hurry up and invite the four young ladies to come out, why can't the eldest aunt come out of her own courtyard when she comes?" ”

An Yushi stopped: "No need, I'm here today to see the old lady." I was relieved to see that the old lady was tough and ruddy. Oops, I am usually busy at home all day long, but this time I came out to talk to the old lady, and my heart is really comfortable. ”

Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, accompanying my sister-in-law to talk about this conversation, I feel a lot more comfortable." ”

An Yushi smiled when he heard it: "That's our mother's fate, if you don't dislike it, I'll come and talk to you when I'm free, okay?" ”

"Then how can it be good, how can the An family be tired of the sister-in-law? Just let Ann stay with me. "I can't be angry after a few more times, Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth and muttered the second half of the sentence in her heart.

An Yushi wanted to get up and say goodbye, and Mrs. Jiang suddenly thought of something and asked her, "I heard that Mrs. An went to Qingshan Academy to be the mountain chief?" ”

I almost forgot about it! An Yushi secretly pinched himself, and the other party took the initiative to mention it.

She sat back and said to Mrs. Jiang, "Exactly." The father is old, and the son asks to go home to care for the elderly and enjoy the joy of humanity, who knows that the saint is too loving and reluctant to let go. My father made repeated compromises, and the saint agreed, but he gave it to the head of Qingshan Academy to do it, and his father's plan to provide for the elderly was all in vain. ”

Mrs. Jiang asked, "How many officials is this mountain chief?" ”

An Yushi covered his mouth and smiled: "The mountain chief is not an official. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang looked contemptuous, she said: "But Qingshan Academy was founded by the Holy Lord himself, and the ministers of the court mostly came out of it before taking the entrance examination. Although the mountain chief is not an official, he is the teacher of many important ministers and is highly respected. If you are not a confidant of the saint, you can't sit in this position. ”

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she weighed and weighed it in her heart, it seems that her in-laws have not fallen but are very favored, and she does not dare to despise her again.

After An Yushi left, she said to Mrs. Jiang: "It seems that we came for nothing." ”
