Chapter 172: It can't be my maiden cousin, right?
Meng Xinniang heard that Jian Ying did not tell the Fang clan about her fainting in the ancestral hall, she was relieved at first, and then felt that she had been tricked by Jian Ying, and her face was gloomy for a long time.
was teased by Ming Mei, and forgot to think about why Ming Mei didn't follow her instructions and give away the silver ticket before Jian Ying entered the Jing Courtyard.
Originally, she should have gone back to her parents' house to save her relatives today, but she fell out with Zhou Han because of Fang's popularity, and at this juncture, it was difficult for Zhou Han to accompany her back to her parents' home.
When she went back alone, she was bound to provoke questions and discussions from the three aunts and six mothers-in-law of her mother's family, so she simply excused herself from being unwell, and only sent her close servants to send New Year's greetings back to Qufu Meng's house.
From yesterday to now, Zhou Han has never shown his face. She was angry, hateful and flustered, pulled down her head and asked someone to invite her a few times, but she was rejected by Zhou Shu, and she was unhappy all day.
When Fang heard that Meng Xinniang had given Jian Ying a thousand taels of silver tickets, she didn't suspect Jian Ying as Ming Mei expected, and only snorted lightly, "There are self-made smart masters, and there are self-made smart girls, and they can toss them by themselves." ”
Jian Ying went to the east and west of the Jian family, stayed in the east and west mansions for a banquet at noon, and came back in the afternoon to talk to the two aunts and grandmothers who also went back to their parents' house to pay New Year's greetings.
After sending the people away, he took advantage of the gift boxes distributed in return and sat in various courtyards, mainly to talk to Concubine Wen.
Because the friendship with Concubine Wen was not enough, he couldn't ask about the old lady and the first princess abruptly, so he only picked up gossip for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.
Concubine Wen personally sent her out, and when she was ready, she took her hand and smiled kindly: "I have believed in the Buddha for half my life, and I was able to endure purity when I was young. As I get older, I often look forward to having someone to talk to.
If you don't think my old woman is boring to talk about, come and sit down from time to time. ”
Jian Ying couldn't ask for it, and held Concubine Wen Shu and said with a smile: "You speak one sentence at a time, I have really benefited a lot from listening to it for a long time, and I don't feel bored at all." Besides, you're still young, where is the old woman?
If you don't believe me, I'll walk around the street with you, and let the big guys see such a clever old woman? ”
Concubine Wen Shu was amused by her, "No wonder the princess always said that the second young lady had a clever mouth, and it was true." ”
After a few more jokes, he let go and told her to go back.
After turning back to the house and sitting down, Xun Qin and Banlian both smiled and praised, "The second young lady is so funny, she has been here for a while, concubine, you have laughed more times than in the past three months." ”
"No, the second young lady is easy-going and generous, and you also respect the concubine very much, you are really a good person."
Concubine Wen smiled faintly, "How can there be a good person in this world for no reason?" ”
Xun Qin and Banlian glanced at each other in surprise, and looked at Concubine Wen Shu with understanding, "You mean that the second young lady has a plan?" ”
After saying this, I felt that Concubine Wen thought too much, she was not favored, and second, she didn't have much money, what could people plot against her?
Concubine Wen looked at the expressions of the two girls, and knew what they were thinking, and she didn't waste her tongue to explain to them.
When Meng Xinniang first got married, she also had a close relationship with her, and she didn't have a long relationship before she asked the inside story of the princess's death.
She was still young then, far less calm than she is now, and she was able to breathe through the air without paying attention. Meng Xinniang chased the wind and caught the shadows, and in the blink of an eye, she took that matter and confronted the Fang family. As a result, Fang's methods were slightly higher, allowing Meng Xinniang to hit a big nail firmly.
She also suffered a lot, and was severely taught a lesson by King Ji'an.
She's not a person with no memory, and she's not a person with no plans.
She is more than ten years younger than King Ji'an, and if there is no accident, she will definitely die behind King Ji'an. She has no children, no relatives and nephews to turn to, and she will inevitably depend on the three young masters in the house to live in the future.
The third young master has Fang's mother-in-law, and there is a chance that others will not be able to rely on eight ~ nine times out of ten.
The eldest young master was crowned the son of the world and was able to inherit the family business, but he was a sour and rotten person who ignored mundane affairs and was full of ups and downs, and he was entangled with his stepmother Fang, and married a daughter-in-law who was used to making trouble. Even if it is on the top, it is not a good day to live a pure life.
The second young master, she was not optimistic about it originally, but in the past few months of marriage, she has seen him become more and more popular. I heard that I picked up a medical book and began to study medical skills. The most important thing is that he married a smart and sensible daughter-in-law who can afford to let go of everything.
It's too early to say whether she can rely on it or not, but if there is an opportunity to get close to the second room, she will not miss it.
After all, it is still very cost-effective to exchange some old things of old sesame seeds and rotten grains for a comfortable and carefree second half of life. And she believes that Jian Ying, unlike Meng Xinniang, will not be stupid enough to take such a thing to provoke and cause trouble.
Jian Ying and Concubine Wen were thinking about each other in their hearts, and in a blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the third day of the junior high school, and Fang Yiyun went to the door according to the previous agreement.
I haven't seen her for many days, and I see that she has lost a lot of weight, and her skin is not as white and smooth as before, and I think I have been running around to shelter those abandoned baby girls, and the wind and sun have roughened the skin.
After seeing each other, she took a white book with nails from Zhu Jian's hand and handed it to Jian Ying, "This is the charter that I drew up with Gongzi Chu, please guide the second young lady to correct the axe." ”
Hearing the words "Gongzi Chu", Jian Ying's eyebrows jumped, "The Gongzi Chu you are talking about won't be my maiden cousin, right?" ”
"It's that Chu Gongzi." Fang Yiyun nodded and replied, "The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the school is closed." My father couldn't bear Mr. Tan's master and apprentice to celebrate the New Year in the Fuxue, so he invited two of them to the Fuya to celebrate the New Year with us.
Chu Gongzi went out with me to do two different things, and he also became interested in this thing for the benefit of the people, so he drafted some charters with me.
I felt that there were still some deficiencies, and I couldn't think of what was lacking, so I hurried over to ask the second young lady for advice.
I hope I didn't disturb the second young lady's New Year's interest. ”
"Not really." Jian Ying said, her eyes turned around her face, and when she saw that she was not shy when she mentioned Chu Feiyan, she looked like she was doing business, and she knew that the hard work of Governor Fang, Mrs. Fang, and Mr. Tan who had done everything possible to match them was going to be in vain.
I opened the white book and took a cursory look at it, and saw that it was written with some trivial rules and precautions, so I pointed out to her: "I think you lack an accountant." ”
"Accountant?" Fang Yiyun was puzzled.
"It's the bookkeeper." Jian Ying changed her words, "As the saying goes, if you have food at home, you don't panic in your heart. No matter how many baby girls you adopt, what's the use of not having the money to feed them?
It is time to find a smart and reliable person to manage your finances for you, calculate the daily income, expenses, how much is left, how many days can be maintained, etc., and report to you at any time.
You'll be able to plan your finances and decide when to adopt how many children to adopt, and when to fundraise for help......
The money matter is clear, and the other problems are not a problem, just slowly regulate. ”
Fang Yiyun suddenly realized, "No wonder I always feel that I don't know the point, it turns out that this is the case." ”
hurriedly took notes, and humbly asked for advice, "Second young lady, what else?" ”
