Chapter 160: Qi's Final Calculation
Yuqin coaxed Brother Jin in the east wing, the mother said that she wanted to clean up, let her lead Brother Jin out to play, the mother helped her comb the hair on the sideburns lovingly, and I don't know what Brother Shen promised, the mother's face was full of smiles, this time, when the mother smiled, she couldn't hide the sorrow in her heart, and it was the first time to laugh from the heart.
Yu Qin also felt curious in her heart, they all treated her as a child, Brother Shen was obviously younger than her, her mother and sister both regarded Brother Shen as an adult to discuss things, she has also grown up, and she can also help her mother share her worries, the second sister is as big as her and is in charge of housework, Yu Qin easily put Brother Jin to sleep, beckoned to ask the little maid Bailing next to her, "What are you busy with Sister Caidie?" ”
"Sister Caidie is busy asking her mother-in-law to move the account books, and they are all moved to the lady's house, and several mothers-in-law are moving them here, and they can be as high as a hill."
Yu Qin's heart was even more strange, "You go out to look at the point, and if you see something, tell me quickly." ”
Yuqin pondered in her heart, there are only two or three accounts that her mother often reads, and the accounts in the shop have been collected years ago, what kind of famous hall is her mother doing, and after a while, Bailing ran back, "Sister Caidie took someone to the old lady's side." ”
Absent-mindedly doing needlework, she was really impatient with these embroidery work, in order not to make her mother anxious, she was busy embroidering dowries every day, and after a while, Bailing ran back, "The old lady brought someone over." ”
Yuqin hurriedly stood up and went out, don't let her mother suffer.
The third sister also accompanied her grandmother over, Yurong wore a narrow jacket embroidered with phoenix tail bamboo in lotus color, a red fox fur shoulder gown, a red embroidered cotton skirt sprinkled with gold, an inch-long ruby earring on her ears, and a red gold ruby hairpin on her head, Yurong had a trace of contemptuous provocation in her eyes, and Yuqin looked at it without showing weakness. Seeing that Yurong was a little uncomfortable, he hurriedly lowered his eyes to look at the ground.
Caidie smiled and let in, "Our lady is not lightly ill. It was hard to even get up, otherwise I would have come out early to greet the old lady. ”
The old lady smiled kindly, "If she is sick, let her take care of her, what do you have to worry about." ”
Yuqin also came in, personally brought the teapot to pour tea for her grandmother, and stood aside obediently. Look at her very good rules. The old lady was also satisfied, and frowned when she saw the account books on the table.
The maids are all out, and Hexiang still wants to stay. Yuqin said, "Grandmother has me and my third sister by her side, isn't it better than you to serve?" If you don't go down yet, there is a reason for you to stay when the master speaks? ”
Hexiang was busy looking at the old lady, the old lady also had a gloomy face, and Yurong smiled, "Hexiang is serving by my grandmother's side." I know my grandmother's preferences best, and it's better to let her stay. ”
Hexiang didn't go out when she stood up, Caidie sneered slightly, and also stood beside Qi's side.
Qi Shi lay there with a sallow face, "I have to invite my mother-in-law over today, and my daughter-in-law is so sick that she can't move." It has been 18 years since the daughter-in-law married into the Li family. The mother-in-law believes in her daughter-in-law and lets her daughter-in-law take care of the housework. Now that the daughter-in-law is sick, it is difficult to manage these, Hou Ye is doing big things outside, and he can't use these housework to worry about Hou Ye, these account books in front of him can only be handed over to his mother-in-law to worry about, Hou Mansion's huge family business, and he must not let others fool him. ”
The old lady deeply believes that these are the family businesses of the Hou Mansion.
Yu Niangzi took the account book and said.
Real estate, fields, hills, buying and selling shops, sacrificial fields, etc., all kinds of registers, accounts of the past years, books of personal contacts, rosters of stewards everywhere, lists of tenants who are piled up as high as a hill, and books of antiques in the house, books of gold and silver utensils, rents accumulated over the years, dividends of various shops, rosters of family members, and other chariots and horses, woodware, gold, silver and tinware, and so on.
The old lady's brain hurt, "You can take care of this, what do you say to me." ”
Qi Shi smiled sadly, "The daughter-in-law won't live long, and the Hou Ye will have to continue the string for a year, who should take care of these accounts, the daughter-in-law feels sorry for Yushan, he is too busy to be at home for the New Year, and the daughter-in-law can't help him anymore." ”
These words were so desolate that the old lady couldn't help crying, and discussed with the Qi family, "Let Yurong take care of it first, and she should also learn to take care of these housework." ”
Yurong's eyes lit up and she hurriedly smiled sweetly, "My granddaughter is willing to help my grandmother share her worries." ”
The old lady was satisfied, and Qi sneered, "Mother-in-law, don't forget that girls are outgoing, Yurong housekeeper, all the money in our house will be managed in the Liangguo Mansion, and it will be too late for mother-in-law to regret it." ”
Yurong's face turned red, Qi said this too harshly, she hasn't married yet.
Yu Qin's eyes also widened, this was really not like what Qi said.
The old lady hesitated for a moment, and Qi smiled and said, "How about letting Brother Shen take care of it first?" The property of the Hou Mansion was handed over to him, what else did the mother-in-law not worry about? Brother Shen'er's child is also filial in his heart, and he also has such a ability. ”
"Brother Shen is still a child, where can he eat such hardship, and besides, he doesn't understand this."
The old lady just felt sorry for her eldest grandson and refused to let her eldest grandson be tired.
Qi had an indifferent smile on his face, "There is nothing to worry about after the death of the daughter-in-law, Tan'er is the young lady of the Yingguo Mansion, how can she not bring her younger brother?" In the future, the Hou Ye will marry the girl of the Wu family, and the new lady will not dare to embarrass my brother Jin'er, but Brother Shen's aunt gave birth to it, how can the new lady not hate him? In the future, Brother Jin will attack the lord, the new lady will take care of the housework, the money in the house is in the hands of the new lady, she is the girl of the Wu family, poor Brother Shen is only the little silver industry in his hand, is it enough to eat or drink? Mother-in-law loves Brother Shen once, but she doesn't want to think more about Brother Shen? ”
The old lady didn't care about anything, but after hearing what Qi said, she pondered, "Brother Shen'er's silver industry is not enough?" ”
Qi smiled sarcastically, "At the beginning, Hou Ye gave Brother Shen's family property, he was still a nine-year-old child, Hou Ye was willing to give more to Brother Shen, first, I was afraid that I would be used to Brother Shen'er's big money, and secondly, I was afraid that he would not be able to control his subordinates, Hou Ye gave him all unprofitable small shops, only said that it was a family, and sooner or later he couldn't lose Brother Shen, but now it is also difficult, the new lady enters the door and adds a few golden grandchildren to the house, if the new lady insists that Brother Shen is divided, Brother Shen will not suffer a big loss?" The little money in his hand is not enough for him to marry in the future, let alone socialize in officialdom. ”
The old lady also had no idea, "Then I'll tell Yushan and ask him to give Brother Shen more property." ”
"Mother-in-law's words are inappropriate, and the property assigned to Brother Shen'er has to be enthroned and made a book, which also alarmed the official office, where is the Wu family still willing to marry a daughter, for Brother Shen'er, the good marriage of the Hou Ye has been delayed."
Qi Shi had a faint mockery on his face, and he was a little sweaty when he said these words, Yuqin's little face next to him was pale, his mother said such things, and said the girl of the Wu family, the little girl bit her lip and didn't dare to squeak, she knew that her mother was fighting for her sister and brother, with tears in her eyes, and glanced over there, Yurong had a look on her face, and Yuqin felt extremely dazzling.
Caidie pinched her fiercely, Yuqin was suddenly startled and hurriedly smiled, "Grandmother might as well hand over these account books in the house to Brother Shen, Brother Shen is in charge of the house's affairs, he can also have more money in his hands, and his stepmother can't control Brother Shen, he can still take care of our sister and brother." ”
The old lady thinks this is a good way, but she is still a little hesitant, can Brother Shen be a family?
The old lady looked at Yurong, "Rong'er, how about you?" ”
In order to please her grandmother, Yurong did not miss Brother Shen's clothes, shoes and socks inside and out, and Brother Shen did not miss the third sister, and she was a new jewelry, and she gave her a good color of silk and satin, Yurong also understood in her heart that this family was in the hands of Brother Shen and she was the most advantageous, and she would still point to Brother Shen'er to support her in the future.
Yurong smiled sweetly, "It's still grandmother who feels sorry for Brother Shen." ”
The old lady smiled, "It can be seen that you are a virtuous person, you can rest assured that you can't lose anything after your death, I will also help you take care of this girl Yuqin, find her a good mother-in-law, what else are you worried about?" ”
Qi's eyes were cold, and there was a detached smile on his face, "If you can do this, it is also Brother Shen'er's blessing, and it is also a little selfishness of my daughter-in-law, Qin'er's sister and brother still point to Brother Shen'er's child, but my mother-in-law and I say this at home does not count, how can the new lady give up in the future?" It's better to let her die, and only help the Hou Mansion to spread the branches in the future, Brother Shen'er's child is benevolent and righteous, and she will not treat her younger brothers and sisters badly. ”
The old lady was puzzled, and Qi smiled and said, "Mother-in-law Mo Ruo sent a post, please please, please ask a few ladies to come over and give a witness to our Houfu?" Brother Shen is in charge of the house's affairs, and it is justified that in the future, the title of the Hou Mansion will be Brother Shen'er's, and the money in the family will be Brother Shen'er's, which is also a little selfishness of the daughter-in-law, what does the mother-in-law think? ”
The Qi family made it clear that they were a little selfish, if there was no help from Brother Shen, whether Brother Jin could attack the lord or not.
Qi sighed faintly, "Poor Brother Shen has no mother, and no mother-in-law, Master Hou is busy with official business, how long can my mother-in-law protect Brother Shen, Brother Shen told me that my grandmother doesn't like him anymore, and I won't call him to come to the house for the New Year, so the child is also sad." ”
The old lady made up her mind, "Then I'll send a post and ask for a please?" It's just that where are people willing to take care of our housework? ”
Qi sneered in his heart, "It's just to invite someone to be a witness, so that everyone knows that our family is in charge of Brother Shen'er, and there will be no way for the new lady in the future, right?" The house was also at peace. ”
The old lady felt sorry for her eldest grandson, and Yurong also wished that Brother Shen could take care of the house and help say good things, so she carefully ordered someone to write an invitation and sent it to each house overnight.
Yurong helped her grandmother back, and Yuqin sat down in the chair in a daze, her eyes out of focus.
People who have a little friendship have received an invitation from Anguo Houfu, and they have to wonder in their hearts, Qi's illness is so sick that they can't get up, at this time, the banquet of Houfu is a bit of a saying, the families asked each other, and they all said that they received the invitation, what is the matter with Anguo Houfu? The wives of each family were curious, and they all wanted to go over to see the excitement. (To be continued) R655
