The surviving daughter-in-law is named Chen E, who is seventeen this year, and it is rare for her to marry at this age in the capital. However, Chen E's parents died when she was a child, and she only followed her grandmother to rely on each other. Such a girl is too hard, and whoever marries a daughter-in-law will be a little taboo. Besides, the Chen family has some ancestral property, coupled with her grandmother's favor, she is also picky and selective.

As soon as Yuyi and the others heard that she was coming, they couldn't wait to rush to the East Cross Courtyard. Before he could enter the house, he heard hearty laughter coming from inside.

It seems that this new cousin's temperament is quite bold, which is in line with the character of the permanent general. The girl opened the curtain, and the sisters rushed in. Youyi walked at the end and couldn't help but look through the gap in the middle of her dress.

I saw a girl in a red dress sitting next to the old lady, it must be the bride Chen E! When I got closer, I took a closer look at my facial features, which were plain.

Not only did Youyi think so, but all the sisters were more or less disappointed in their hearts. Chang Cun is a person who practices martial arts, and it is inevitable that he will be careless, and he will not care about his children's affairs. may make him fall in love at first sight, and therefore beg the old lady to call the shots, and everyone can't help but guess that this bride is not a city and a country, but should also be beautiful and moving. But Chen E in front of her has nothing to do with these, at most her complexion is quite pale.

When she saw the sisters come in, she looked over to this side. The sisters of the Jin family were all watery, and she couldn't help but be jealous and ashamed when she saw it, and said with a smile: "My sisters are all beautiful and fragrant, but it seems that I stand out from the crowd, hehehehe." ”

Hearing her make fun of herself like this, Youyi had a smile on the corner of her mouth, she was a girl with a pleasant personality. Chang Cun has no scheming, this cousin-in-law is open-minded and cheerful, and the two have the same temper.

"To each his own eye!" The old lady patted her hand, obviously liking her temperament very much, "Always like you, beautiful or not, he said the most!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, no matter how bold Chen E was, she was also the new daughter-in-law, and she couldn't help but glance at Chang Cun on the side with a crimson face. The old man who always existed, his face was like a red cloth, and he was even more shy than the bride.

It seems that the two of them get along very well after marriage, and they live a very comfortable life. If you think about it, you can guess that the in-laws and elders are not in front of you, and you always have a good character, can you have a bad time this time?

"This is my gift to you, I don't know if you like it or not." The old lady instructed someone to take out a jewelry box, open it and take out the bracelet inside, "It's all old-fashioned, and it may not be in line with the young man's mind." ”

"The older things are, the more valuable they are! My grandmother had a similar bracelet, and she didn't even bother to take it out when I got married, so she had to keep it for her great-grandson. It's still the old lady who loves me, and it's too late for me to rejoice. As he spoke, he put it on and shook his wrist with a smile, "It's not big, it's not too small, it's just right!" ”

"This girl, interesting!" The old lady became more and more happy when she saw this.

Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, the old lady let them go to the east and west to ask for peace, and told them to come back for dinner, and left all the sisters behind.

Chen E and Chang Cun agreed to go, but when they came back, she was the only one.

"The eldest brother has come back from the south, and he is checking the details of the items shipped over with the second uncle. The second uncle stayed over there to help take care of it, and by the way, he had a meal. The eldest brother asked me to talk to the old lady, and then come back to kowtow to the old lady later. ”

"Howen is back?" The second wife was overjoyed when she heard this.

This Jin Haowen is the son of the second wife, seventeen this year, and became a relative in the spring. He has been learning business from his father since thirteen or fourteen, and now he can take charge of himself. This time, the Jin family moved his family, and he came over last and escorted the family's valuable belongings. He came over smoothly, so that the second wife's heart that had been hanging finally relaxed.

The old lady was also very happy to hear this, and even ate a few more bites than usual. Everyone rinsed their mouths and cleaned their hands, sat down again, and the girls came up with tea. Two people came in from outside this kung fu, tall and thin, yellow and white, with a pair of eyes that were quite bright. Looking at his facial features, he vaguely resembles the second wife.

"Brother Hao is back, come to my side!" Although the old lady's favorite grandson is Brother Han, the most important thing at the moment is Howen. There is a lot of business in the family, the eldest lord is mainly strategizing in the capital, the second and third masters are getting older and older year by year, and among the sons and nephews, only Brother Hao is the most secure, the most intimate and credible. He is not very old, but he has gradually matured and stabilized in the past two years, and the second master is also relieved that he is walking outside. Especially recently, he has entrusted him with a lot of important things, and he has done every one of them beautifully.

When the second wife saw her son come in, her eyes were full of love and pride. At present, Brother Han in the big room is only nine years old, and Brother Yu in the third room is only ten years old, and the remaining Brother Jin is a concubine, and he is not in the eyes of the second wife at all. The three grandsons of the Jin family belong to his sons, who are outstanding and take the lead. Even if the younger brothers grow up in the future, Brother Hao has already gained a firm foothold. In any case, the Jin family's business will have the final say in Brother Hao. As soon as she thought of this, the second wife didn't want to fight for anything. Her son's ability to take over the Jin family's business is the most important thing, all she can do is not to make trouble for her son, and it is best to help.

Now the old lady likes Brother Hao's daughter-in-law very much, and if she can win a man in one fell swoop, the old lady promises to be more and more happy. What could be more precious than the great-eldest grandson of the Jin family? It's just that Yan's belly is round, and he doesn't look like a boy. And Yan vomited badly as soon as she was pregnant, and reacting so early is also a characteristic of a girl. The second wife was gloomy when she thought of this, glanced at Yan's stomach next to her, and calculated in her heart. Yan's stomach is only more than four months now, because she is thin and weak, she doesn't show much pregnancy, and it will take some time to see accurately.

Yan Shi seemed to feel something, and when he turned his head to see his mother-in-law staring at his stomach, he couldn't help but feel nervous. Although she has been married for less than a year, she can see that her mother-in-law is a powerful person, not only coaxing her father-in-law around, controlling the concubine's obedience, but also suppressing the third room. And his father-in-law is a filial son, he is obedient to his mother, and he discusses everything with his mother first. She felt that she had a lot to learn from her mother-in-law, don't underestimate the trivial matters in the inner courtyard, there are a lot of doorways!

Brother Hao

Many!

Brother Hao walked a few steps, knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady, and only then got up and stood closer.

The old lady looked up at him, nodded and said, "I've grown taller again, but I'm too thin." When I come back this time, I will have a good rest first, and I will send someone to tell you Lao Tzu in a while, don't let you go out of the capital first. ”

"How old am I, and the old lady still treats me as a child." Howen replied with a smile.

"Stinky boy, even your father is a child in front of me!" The old lady laughed and scolded, "People say that men are twenty and women are eighteen." I see that you still have three years to grow, and this son will surpass your father. You can't be too tired when you grow your body, and you have a lot of business at home. When your body is strong and strong, how many things can't be done? ”

"The old lady is right, and the grandson has written it down." Howen hurriedly returned, and told the old lady the interesting stories along the way. In the past few years, he has often walked around outside, has come into contact with many people, seen and heard a lot of things, and has a sharp mouth, telling stories that are more exciting than those written on the excerpt of the play. The old lady likes to listen to these lively things the most, and Yuyi and the others can also hear it.

Before I knew it, the sun had set, and Chang Cun took his daughter-in-law to say goodbye. They bought a house near Chen's house, which was not far from the Jin Mansion, and it only took half a pillar of incense to get into the carriage. When the old lady saw that it was getting late, she let the two go, and when she left, she told Chen E to come over often.

Chen E agreed with a smile, and turned her head and smiled before going out. Youyi happened to see it, and her heart couldn't help but move. Ever since she saw Chen E, she felt a sense of intimacy, and now she understands where this feeling comes from. Just now, she turned her head and smiled, and there was a bit of Wei Ru's charm in it. It's just that this feeling is fleeting, if it weren't for Youyi and Wei Ru being very familiar, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to associate it together.

Thinking of the time when a few people went to Huizhou together, the old lady was moved to want to match Wei Ru and Chang Cun together. Later, because he saw that Wei Ru didn't have any thoughts, he put it down gently. However, Youyi felt that Chang Cun had some feelings for Wei Ru. He fell in love with other girls at first sight, and asked the old lady to make the decision, which made Youyi feel strange and disappointed at that time. Now it seems that this permanent existence is a fool's eye. It's just that this infatuation will be let down after all, and it won't even be known.

When everyone saw their little couple go back, they got up and said goodbye, and Youyi was stunned. Because the eldest lady was there, she had to go back to the gate of the hospital.

"Four girls, come here." The old lady beckoned to her.

She hurried over and replied with a smile: "These 'four girls' have been replaced by Zhuang Yi, and the old lady will call me 'six girls' in the future." ”

"Good, good, good." The old lady said three good words in a row, "It should have been lined down in the first place, they were all a family." ”

The old lady sat on the kang, and there were account books, abacus and other things on the small kang table, and Mama Lu sat opposite. Youyi approached and understood, and her heart couldn't help but move.

"You take off your shoes and sit next to me, and I'll teach you to look at the ledger." The old lady said as she drank tea.

Youyi was stunned when she heard this, and Mama Lu said with a smile: "Why are the six girls still in a daze?" This is a good thing that others can't ask for. I still learned this abacus from the old lady, and now the old lady actually asked me to train it myself, so that the girl can learn it in a while. ”

"The old lady personally taught me naturally I can't ask for it, but it's a little strange, what do you do to learn these things plainly?" Youyi obediently took off her shoes and sat down next to the old lady obediently, "All the girls learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I haven't seen anyone playing with an abacus crackling!" ”

"Oh, my silly girl. Which housewife doesn't know how to settle accounts? These things are no better than female red and six arts, and they can't be put on the bright side. Those little daughters-in-law who marry into the in-laws' housekeepers will keep accounts and read the account books all of a sudden, is it possible that they will suddenly? I must have learned it in my mother's house, but no one takes this as a skill. The eldest girl was engaged to the An family, and she stayed in Ning'an for two hours every day a while ago, and she learned this kind of thing. Of course, there are still some ways to be a woman, and the six girls don't need to learn it for the time being. Mama Lu's fingers were neatly blocked on the abacus, and the upper and lower beads were clearly and neatly, and she looked like an expert.

The way to be a woman? To put it bluntly, it is how to control the husband, rectify the concubine, and coax the in-laws. The eldest lady was afraid that Yuyi would suffer a loss when she entered the An family, so she naturally had to give her money. Yuyi is better than the blue, more ruthless than the eldest wife, and never soft-hearted! Youyi knows this better than anyone else.

"Girl, you can remember it, I'll only teach it once." The old lady said that Mama Lu planned to dish, and then the old lady explained.

Their master and servant checked the account books and taught the children to calculate the abacus, killing two birds with one stone.

In her previous life, Youyi was a little girl whose father didn't love her mother, so naturally no one taught her these things when she was in her mother's house. When she married into the An family, she was just a soft-spoken concubine, and she couldn't figure out the abacus and account books. It was her first time in contact with these things, and she felt a little novel. But she's smart, and she's looking at the old lady and they're counting a few pages, don't touch the doorway.

The old lady saw that she seemed to know something, so she changed her plan. At first, it will definitely go wrong, and there is still Mama Lu staring at it. Gradually, her fingers became flexible, fast and accurate.

"It's still the sixth girl who is talented and smart, and I think it was very difficult for me to learn from the old lady at the beginning. I've been studying for seven or eight days, and I'm still not as skilled as the girl is now. Mama Lu praised with a smile, "Originally, I thought that I was old and dizzy, and I was afraid that I would make mistakes when I checked these account books." Now that I have six girls, I can be much more relaxed. ”

"It's not just about planning." The old lady said meaningfully, she asked Youyi to look at the account book carefully, taught her how to remember, how to look at income, expenses and balances, etc.

Youyi studied very modestly and seriously, and took the old lady's words to heart.

"The most important thing in this bookkeeping is to have an account in your heart, and you have to have an impression of Chen sesame and rotten grain. Otherwise, if you suddenly use something, it will take a while just to turn over the ledger. You don't need to remember every page, at least you know a rough idea. And based on my years of experience, it's best to have a table of contents with a page number under each page, so it's easier to find. "The old lady is unreserved, she has been in business since her early years, and she naturally has her own experience in bookkeeping.

Youyi followed the old lady to check the account book for three days, and after the end, the abacus crackled, and the account book was even more clear. She found that everyone has a habit of keeping accounts, and the second wife and the eldest wife remember the accounts differently.

The eldest lady likes to use black to indicate income and vermilion to indicate expenses, which looks very distinct; The second wife's bookkeeping likes to be divided into several large parts, the income is divided into granges, shops, and rents, and the expenses are divided into inside and outside the house. The two of them have their own account books, which has benefited Youyi a lot.

The accounts are checked clearly, and it is naturally penniless. The old lady took advantage of the three daughters-in-law to come over to say goodbye and handed over the account book to the eldest lady, this time officially announcing that the eldest lady was in charge. All the expenditures of the three mansions must first ask the eldest lady for instructions, and only after getting the right cards can they go to the account room or treasury to withdraw silver and things. The eldest lady pretended to excuse herself a few more words, and then took the account book.

The three rooms of the Jin family will live together completely this time, I don't know if there will be any incidents in the future!
