Chapter Forty-Eight: The Old Lady Goes Home to Pick Peaches

As soon as the old lady arrived at the second gate, someone cried and shouted that she was wronged, and the old lady dared to sue the second lady, and the old lady was angry at first, but the old lady was also a philanthropist, and she refused to let the innocent old lady be wronged.

Returning to Chunhui Hall and sitting down, the old lady's face sank like water, "Yutan, tell me what's going on?" ”

"Grandmother is like this," Yutan smiled slightly, "Daddy ordered me to check the accounts in the house in the past few days, these slaves rely on the grace given by their masters, and they are used to deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and their granddaughter has cleared out a group of black-hearted slaves, and they are about to return to Grandmother to know." ”

"Your dad asked you to check the accounts? When did it happen? He didn't know how to tell me, if he knew this, his grandmother wouldn't go out, and he could still give you a seat at home, how old are you, where will you check the accounts, your father is really messing around. ”

Yutan hurriedly smiled, "My granddaughter won't do anything, fortunately, my father asked Mama Qin to help me, my father said that Mama Qin is an old man who my grandmother is familiar with, and she has always been loyal, so let me listen to Mama Qin more in everything, and there are housekeepers Guo and his wife outside the house to assist, and some old people help me, Yutan is easy to take things into account, and I didn't embarrass my grandmother, and now I can save 10,000 taels of silver a year in the house." ”

When the old lady heard that she could save tens of thousands of taels of silver, she came to her spirit first, "Mama Qin, let her come to see me, Yutan, you child doesn't understand." ”

Mama Qin was already waiting outside, and when she heard the summons of the old lady, she hurriedly came in and said with a smile, "The old lady is very happy, now that the Hou Ye is wise, he ordered the second lady to check the accounts in the house, you old man guess, how much did that black-hearted slave dare to falsely report?" What a old slave! The grandmothers who stayed in the house of the eldest lady were especially unpleasant, and the one in charge of the antique accounts lost a number of antique calligraphy and paintings, all of which were replaced with fakes, and I don't know when she stole them. And the Mama Liu who bought it is even more black-hearted......"

Mama Qin is eloquent, this is more than an hour, the old lady also hated it when she heard it, "This slave has to be severely punished, now that the Qi family has been in charge of the family for a few years, he knows that he blindly buys well, and he is used to these black-hearted minions, if Hou Ye is not really unaccustomed to it, how can he let Yutan take care of such a big matter, fortunately, you are thoughtful, this is also the reason why Hou Ye knows people well." ”

Mama Qin glanced at the second miss and smiled embarrassedly, "Speaking of which, our second miss can also afford a big scene." ”

"You don't have to praise her, children can't praise her, she did this and made a mistake, that old lady cried and cried, the Hou Mansion has always been generous, and it is not possible for the subordinates to be wronged."

After the old lady finished speaking, she ordered someone to pass the old lady in, and the old lady saw the old lady and hurriedly fell to her knees, "Old lady, you are a merciful person, my youngest son was sent to the village in the countryside because he went to her aunt's house to play, and he was pitiful for the child who was just nine years old, where did he blame this big crime." After the old lady finished speaking, she kowtowed again and again, "Ask the old lady to be the master of the old slave, the youngest son of the old slave family is wronged, even the old slave's sister is wronged, my sister has always been by the old lady's side, and has been doing things according to the rules of the house, and she has been keeping accounts for decades, and she does not dare to break the rules of the house." ”

The old lady asked her, "Which one is your sister?" What's wronged? ”

"My sister is Mama Liang beside you, she has always had some face, and the old slave also thought about relying on my sister's face to change her face for a face-revealing job, my sister refused, and said that she couldn't rely on the face given by the old lady to break the rules, the old slave has stayed up at night on the second door for more than ten years, and he has relied on his sister's momentum for a day. The old slave just didn't accept it, even people like my sister who talked about the rules were squeezed out, and Mama Liu was also by the old lady's side, and when I thought about it, she also talked about the rules, and the second lady was young and was blinded. ”

The old lady shook a shot and pointed the finger at Mama Qin, and the old lady remembered the unsmiling Mama Liang.

Mama Liang doesn't say much on weekdays, she is not a person who likes rhetoric, she does things quickly and well, and has always won the trust of the old lady, seeing that this is Mama Liang's sister, the old lady sat up all of a sudden, and asked a few more words, the old lady cried, "The old slave doesn't know anything, I only know that the house has been ordered to close the two doors early in the morning, and the old slave is still wondering in his heart, and later, I heard that the house has arrested several housekeepers, and the old slave's sister was also arrested, Butler Guo outside also rubbed their children into the Zhuangzi. ”

The old lady felt that something was wrong, where did this look like checking accounts, this was clearly like copying a house, so she said to Mama Wang, who followed her out, "You go down to check what is going on, and I heard that I am taking care of some people?" The family rules of the Hou Mansion understand that there is no one who is domineering by relying on power, those people should be let go, and there is no reason to lock up others. ”

Mama Wang hurriedly smiled and agreed, "The old slave will go and check it, and I will give this mama an explanation." ”

The old lady was satisfied, and she was a little tired at this time, so she lay down to rest, "That old lady still let her take care of the errand at night on the second gate, and none of you are allowed to punish her, and you are not allowed to retaliate, I remember this." ”

No one dared not listen to the old lady's words, and the old lady went down satisfied.

The old lady leaned down to rest, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, her son didn't say a word to her in advance about such a big event as checking accounts at home! If it weren't for this old lady crying to the front, maybe she wouldn't know it for the rest of her life, the old lady never cared about the housekeeping, thinking of these people used by Hou Ye, although Mama Qin was her confidant, but this old man was broken at that time, and it was obvious that she didn't want to go to the temple with her to find an excuse, and the old lady didn't feel good in her heart.

That's Mama Guo, she has always followed Master Hou to run errands, in charge of collecting the rent in the land, the old lady calculated, now she has no one available at home, Mama Liang and Mama Liu have been kicked out by taking the opportunity, Mama Qin is okay to laugh and have fun, it's hard to say loyal, isn't this time flattering the second lady?

Yutan's family, the people who want to arrange it are also the people of the Qi family, the old lady is unwilling to lose power, her son is born by herself, and he is the head of the family, and it is not good to complain about him too much, Yutan knew these things in advance, but he didn't even want to say a mouth, and the words were strange and good, I was afraid that my grandmother would work hard, hum.

The old lady was determined to work hard, she didn't have the opportunity to take care of the house when she was young, at that time she married a little concubine into the Hou Mansion to fill the house, the old Hou didn't want her to be a housekeeper, and then she was the eldest daughter-in-law housekeeper director, and then the housework fell into the hands of the Qi family.

The old lady is flattered in and out of social occasions now, this housekeeper is nothing remarkable, there are those subordinates who do things, the master is just a mouthful, Yutan was twelve years old and could be a housekeeper, she was old Nuoda age, but she didn't want to that idleness on weekdays.

Now that there are so many accidents in the family, the old lady refuses to stand by anymore, and finds a few henchmen overnight, these people look at the opportunity in front of them, where can they not flatter the old lady, and recommend their three relatives and six dependents, all of whom are some amazing capable people.

The next day, just after dawn, Yutan was about to go to the council room, grandmother sent someone to call her over, Yutan didn't dare to delay, busy to see grandmother, the old lady leaned on the couch, her face seemed to be smiling, "Yutan, you help your mother on weekdays, now you don't have to be busy, look how big the basket you have poked, and grandmother has to give you the aftermath." ”
