Chapter 102: Steward's Mother

Qin Dai's heart got up early the next morning, her biological clock has always been very accurate, and she often woke up before the girl she called arrived. Waiting for the girls to scream, it's just that she likes to lie down and like to lie down for a while, which is a rare enjoyment for Qin Daixin.

Chunli helped Qin Daixin comb her hair and said, "Miss must have slept well last night, so she got up so early today." ”

Qin Dai smiled heartily, "It's not too early, it's not early." ”

At this time, Ruyi brought Xueqing's mother and daughter. Qin Daixin looked through the bronze mirror, and after not seeing her for many days, Yan's white skin was still the same, dressed appropriately, and her demeanor was respectful. and the somewhat selfish and indifferent Yan family when they first met, they are like two people.

"Coming back?"

"After listening to the young lady's letter, the slave maid immediately set off to rush back, and I didn't sleep well all night last night, for fear that the young lady had something important." The Yan clan spoke happily, and he couldn't tell that he wasn't a close servant at all, but like an old man who had been by Qin Daixin's side for many years.

Qin Daixin didn't pay attention to her words, but just said to herself: "In this weather, it's already too hot to wear a jacket, and it's earlier to wear spring clothes, and I don't know why, I feel that there are no clothes to wear in the cabinet." ”

Na Yan said: "Miss wears a thicker brocade dress, and the outer cover is more than a armor." Although the weather was still a little cold, there was no wind, and the slave and maid walked all the way, and they didn't feel half of the wind. ”

Qin Dai listened to it and was extremely satisfied. Sure enough, people picked out a concubine-colored bijia with snowflake pattern embroidered begonia flowers, covered it outside the original clothes, and said to the people in the house after dressing up: "From today on, Yan's is the housekeeper's mother in this house." After speaking, he said to Ruyi: "Come with me to my mother's yard and say goodbye!" ”

"Yes." Ruyi didn't care to look at the expressions of the people in the room, and hurriedly followed Qin Daixin to Fang Wanru's courtyard.

The master and servant walked in the garden, feeling the smell of spring, and there was a pleasant smell of earth in the air, and if you looked closely, there seemed to be a little new green at the base of the wall.

Such an environment is the most comfortable.

"Ruyi, don't you ask me why I left Xue Qingniang in the house?" Maybe you just don't dare to ask!

Ruyi thought that Qin Daixin would ask her this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while. To tell the truth, she was afraid that Miss would say that she did not keep her duty as a slave, and if she concealed something, she was not confident that she could deceive Miss. So for a while, she really didn't know how to answer Qin Daixin.

Just thinking about it, a person suddenly walked over to him, and when he looked at it, it was the second son of the Qin family, Qin Zixin.

This Qin Zixin, Qin Daixin has seen it a few times, but she only thinks that this child is sullen, thin, and very good at reading. Before he could speak, his face turned red first, but he was the same as his biological mother, Aunt Feng, who was kind.

Sure enough, when Qin Zixin saw Qin Daixin, before he could speak, his face turned red first, and he asked in a small voice, "Hello third sister." ”

Qin Dai was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Where are you going in such a hurry?" ”

Qin Zixin saw that she was not angry, and she did not make fun of herself like in the past, thinking that it seemed that the rumor that the third sister had changed her mind was true, and he was a little relieved at the moment.

"I just came out of my mother's house, and now I'm going to the academy." This child was teased and scared by Qin Daixin before, and when she saw her, it was like a mouse seeing a cat. Although he is a person who can read, he is very stupid, he is often wronged and digested by himself, and he will never do anything to sue Fang Wanru, even if he says a few words to his aunt, she will persuade him to be more patient in everything, as long as he is famous and famous, he can leave this home.

Qin Dai smiled in her heart, "It's a good thing to study hard, but don't forget your body!" Look at you, how thin you are, eat more nutritious things on weekdays, rest and rest when you are tired of studying, if your body collapses, no matter how good you learn, it is useless. ”

Qin Zixin was surprised, his face was incredulous, and he was stunned for a while before he said, "Thank you Third Sister for your concern, I ...... I went to the academy. After saying that, he bowed and left without looking back.

Qin Dai looked at his background and shook his head, this kid, although he reads well, he is not suitable for being an official. Any thoughts are written directly on his face, but he is afraid that he will be sold, and he doesn't know it! How can you be an official with such a heartless city!

Qin Dai was thoughtful, stunned, and hurriedly said: "The second son is far away, Miss should hurry up, go to Madame!" ”

"You're right, let's go!" In other people's lives, others are in charge, where can it be her turn to be melancholy? She's bothering here.

Where did Ruyi know Qin Daixin's thoughts, thinking that she cared about Qin Zixin's attitude, she explained as she walked: "Miss, don't blame the second son, he was also scared by you, and he hasn't come back to his senses yet!" If you want to say that these two sons are too thin, if they grow taller and fatter, they will look the same as the eldest son. ”

"Really?" Now Qin Daixin, where does she care about what others think of her. "I don't see it."

"The young lady didn't look closely, the eyebrows and eyes of the second son are exactly the same as the eldest son. It's just that he is young and hasn't grown yet, and if he grows a few more years, I'm afraid anyone can see it. ”

Qin Dai disagreed, "Two brothers, they should be similar after all." ”

Ruyi thought that she didn't want to talk about this topic, so she kept silent. The master and servant walked all the way through the garden and the pavilion, and soon came to Fang Wanru's courtyard.

At this time of the day, Fang Wanru met people from all courtyards and rooms in the second room, in addition to the brothers and sisters who came to greet him, and the aunts who came to make rules, she would also meet some stewards in this room, and deal with some affairs in the Zhuangzi and the house. If it is according to the rules, from the day Qin Zicheng got married, this family should gradually be handed over to Lin Qingyue, and others should also call her "big grandmother", with this title, it also means that she is the head of the new generation of the Qin family, and she can take over the affairs of the house. But Lin Qingyue is a talented woman, needless to say, she would rather stay in the house and play black and white games with herself, rather than bother to look at any account books. What about Fang Wanru? It's not been a year or two since she was in power, and she really wants her to hand over the keys to the house at once, and she is not at ease. In this way, although it is not in accordance with the rules, it also conforms to the wishes of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they are safe. Qin Zicheng has no children and no daughters under his knees for the time being, and it makes sense to call him "eldest son" and "eldest young master".

Fang Wanru was leaning on the kang, listening to the mother-in-law in charge. Fang Wanru is a child of an official family who reads poetry and books, and since she was a child, she has learned how to take care of the affairs of the family, how to rectify those slaves who deceive the superiors and subordinates, and of course, she will inevitably learn how to deal with other women in her husband's house. In the past few decades since she married into the Qin family, she has always taken care of the affairs of this family, and the truth in the words of her mother-in-law cannot be hidden from her.

"It's just such a small thing, and it's bothering me?" Fang Wanru couldn't help but feel a little headache, rubbed her forehead with her hand, and said angrily: "According to the old practice of previous years, the people of this red and white matter have all left the bottom of the matter, if you don't know, you can go to the steward of the outer courtyard to ask." After she said these words patiently, she instructed: "February 2 of this year is different from every year, the master naturally wants to go to the Chamber of Commerce with the eldest young master, and I am afraid that the reception expenses of the family will have to come out more." ”

The woman didn't dare to make her own decisions, so she asked with a straight face: "How much is appropriate?" ”

Fang Wanru secretly thought about it, and felt that it was not enough to be afraid of not having five thousand taels, after all, they were all distinguished guests, and they were not allowed to be sloppy, not counting the cost of gifts, all of which added up, I am afraid that it would be a lot of silver. Although the pain of the flesh is spent like flowing water, Fang Wanru has also seen the world, and knows that if it is taken care of, the silver will be returned exponentially. In this way, these expenses are now nothing.

So he instructed Begonia to let people take a pair of cards, and instructed the woman to go to the account room to advance 5,000 taels to the account.

The mother-in-law smacked her tongue secretly, what a big stroke. Although he was curious, he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he respectfully took the pair of cards from Begonia and retreated.

When Qin Daixin came in, Fang Wanru was reading the account book, and when she saw her coming, she closed the book and asked her to move a square stool with mahogany paint for her to sit on.

"It's really hard for my mother to start busy with family affairs so early." The scene always has to be said.

"The family is big and small, eating and drinking, and they need money every day, and where there is more and where there is less, they must be aware of it." The firewood, rice, oil and salt in the small door and small household still have to be carefully calculated, not to mention the people of this big family. "This is in charge of the affairs of the family, but a university asks, not only female celebrities, but also the main feed, there are many bends and curves in it? The daughter of our Qin family, whether she marries into the family of the official eunuch or the family of the merchant in the future, she must be the right person with us. If you get married, you have to take care of the family. Fang Wanru's words were meaningful, and I don't know if she deliberately said it to Qin Daixin.

"What the mother taught me was that the child wrote it down." Although Qin Daixin was surprised that Fang Wanru would tell her this, she didn't show it. In her heart, these things had nothing to do with her at all. Ruyi listened to it on the sidelines, and was secretly happy, thinking that this was the young lady who had entered the eyes of the lady, and finally did not have to worry about it all day.

"When you are ready, you will have to learn these things, and when the time comes, you will have to ask a housekeeper mother to teach you well." Fang Wanru thought of her second daughter Qin Qianxin, this girl is simply an idiot in this regard, let her learn to be a female celebrity, she is either tired or pricked, and it is not possible to embroider a simple purse. Mainfeed? Not to mention.

"Speaking of the housekeeper mother, the daughter has something to tell her mother here, and I hope the mother will not blame the daughter for being good at making claims."
