Chapter 156: Invitation
Nearly ten years of accounts, dozens of books, Linglong looked at the honest smile on Zhang Changsheng's face, and felt sad in his heart.
"I'll go back and read these accounts slowly, you live here, you can live as long as you want." Linglong said to Fen Niang.
Fen Niang's face flushed: "I came over with Xianggong, in addition to giving an account to Miss Five, I just wanted to see my wife, kowtow to my wife, and then I took my two sons to walk around, if they didn't let them come to the capital to see, they thought that this world was a little place like Yishui." ”
When she came out today, Linglong was prepared, with a silver ticket on her body, no longer as wolf as yesterday, she asked Xingyu to take a hundred taels of silver tickets to Fen Niang, and asked her to take her sons to visit the capital more, she arranged it, and accompanied her to Zhuangzi to see Feng's.
Fen Niang refused to accept the silver ticket, and Linglong smiled: "It is said that the Bodhisattva of Lingquan Temple is the most spiritual, you go and make a wish to my mother, which is regarded as incense money." ”
Fen Niang just accepted it, Linglong knew that her family was living a prosperous life, and she didn't need her to make up for it, she thought about it, or wait until Fen Niang returned to Shandong, and then bring her more things.
That day, she just went to Chen's front for a turn, and then went back to Xifu, Chen heard about Jin Yuan's matter, a little sneering, Linglong knew that she was sandwiched in the middle of it was difficult to do, so she smiled: "Sister-in-law don't think so much, it's none of my business, you just relax, the second cousin's screen is still one piece away, I have to drive him out in the next few days, so it's too little." ”
Chen was relieved to hear her say this, but he still held her hand and didn't speak for a while.
Linglong left most of the account books in Sweetwater Lane, and only took some with her, and she read them almost all night. In her previous life, she didn't understand this, and the money she worked hard to earn back was also left hand in and right hand out, she could read the account book, and she also benefited from Chen's guidance.
In the next few days, she didn't go out, nor did she go to Dongfu, she just hid in the house to read the account books, and Xingyu went to Sweet Water Lane a few times. Instead of her, she communicated with Zhang Changsheng about the problems in the account books. But these accounts are very clear, except for some things that are not well understood, there is basically no difference.
Three farms and 10 shops make about 8,000 to 10,000 taels of income per year. Excluding all kinds of expenditures, Tianchengchang and Maotong have a total of more than 70,000 taels of silver, with clear and meticulous accounts, and every year Zhang Changsheng and five families, including Feng Xin, sign and draw a pledge.
Linglong sighed. If the mother knew that the Feng family still had these loyal servants, she would definitely be very happy. It's a pity that the aunts and uncles and cousins don't know where they went.
She was looking for an opportunity to accompany Fen Niang to Zhuangzi, when Mrs. Jin called her over again.
Entering Chunhui Hall, Linglong felt that the atmosphere was wrong. I saw everyone smiling at her.
When I entered the small hall, I realized that it was a grandmother from the Gu family.
Mama was in her thirties, very wealthy, wearing a purple cocoon silk gown, wearing a finger-wide red gold bracelet, and was talking to Mrs. Jin. Seeing Linglong come in, the Jin Lu family hurriedly saluted. Remind that Mama that this is Miss Five.
Mama turned around and saw Linglong, so she praised Mrs. Jin Linglong, looking better than a fairy, showing off her wisdom, teaching well, Mrs. Jin was overjoyed, Linglong also understood, this Mama's surname is Shang, and the Gu family came to send the invitation.
The seventh princess, Gu Xinyue, was born because she was still young. It was inconvenient to do it on a large scale, so he invited his sisters and a few handkerchiefs to have a small gathering. Seventh Miss Gu Yanran wanted to invite the fifth miss of the Jin family and the ninth miss of the Chen family Chen Feng to go together.
Linglong was a little surprised, Gu Jinzhi had just come a few days ago, and today Gu Yanran came to invite her to warm Gu Xinyue's birthday? Last time I got together in Gujia Zhuangzi. Linglong intuitively felt that Gu Yanran was not as enthusiastic about her as Gu Jieyu, the sixth lady of the Gu family, and her eyes seemed to be wary, just like those women who walked in the crowd with huge sums of money, and looked at people as if they were guarding against thieves.
In her previous life, she was most familiar with this kind of gaze, so when she came back from the Gu family Zhuangzi that time, she didn't think about dating the Gu family sisters again. But she didn't want to see them, but they came to her.
"Please ask Mama Shang to find me and thank Miss Seven for her kindness, but I have to go to Dongfu every day for a while, and on the birthday of the Seventh Princess, I'm afraid I won't be able to get by."
She politely excused herself, and Mrs. Jin came over with a knife, and she was very displeased, and Mama Shang just fell into disappointment, and Mrs. Jin smiled and said: "Look at this child, you know how to be a female red all day long."
In short, Mama Shang went back happily, and Mrs. Jin agreed happily for Linglong, called Song Xiuzhu over, and asked her to accompany Linglong to choose patterns, sew clothes and jewelry, and then prepare a decent birthday gift for Gu Xinyue.
"Why don't you want to go, Miss Chen Jiajiu, you also know, it is your sister-in-law's sister-in-law, two days ago she came with the Chen family to ask for peace, she is knowledgeable, you and her just take this opportunity to get closer. It is also thanks to Linlang that when she got married, the Chen family took you with her, so that those housewives in the capital knew that you were a person, otherwise how could the seventh lady of the Gu family take you to the Seven Princes' Mansion together. ”
Linglong smiled bitterly in her heart, Gu Yanran didn't know her at that time, which is it.
She had no choice but to nod, but later the third old man Jin Min came back and went to Chunhui Hall to greet Mrs. Jin, saying that Linglong was going to the Seven Princes' Mansion to give Gu Xinyue a birthday, Jin Min frowned, and advised: "At present, the East Palace has not been established, and several princes are in the capital, so they will not dare to make friends with foreign ministers. ”
Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, compared to her grandmother, her father was relatively normal.
Jin Zifeng and Jin Ziye also came to Chunhui Hall, and after hearing about it, Jin Zifeng glanced at Linglong with a smile, and Linglong suddenly felt awkward.
Mrs. Jin seemed to have just noticed this granddaughter, and looked at it for a long time, and then said to Jin Min: "Sister Long arrived in the capital, and the result is different, it seems that there are some rules." ”
Jin Min hurriedly said: "Thanks to her mother's good teaching over the years, she was trained in the early court to know how to read and be courteous." ”
Mrs. Jin glanced at Song Xiuzhu, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Sister Yuan is also older, and she is not allowed to learn the rules, which is like a weed, so let's let her move to Chunhui Hall from tomorrow, I, who is a grandmother, work a little harder and teach you to come over." ”
Jin Min and Song Xiuzhu are overjoyed, Jin Yuan is fifteen years old, and she will be sixteen after the New Year, and it has long been time to engage her family, growing up next to her grandmother is completely different, just look at Linglong, just twelve years old, she has already begun to associate with the ladies in the capital, Jin Yuan used to have a few handkerchiefs, but since the Dragon Boat Festival, those ladies have been estranged from her, and her reputation is not as good as before, if you can spread the news that she grew up with her grandmother, the benefits of her relatives outweigh the disadvantages, Whether it is Jin Min or Song Xiuzhu, they can't ask for it.
