Chapter 25 Liwei
In the main room, it became more and more silent, and the mother who was on the side, the maid raised her eyes and quietly looked at the fourth lady, and the battle for the title of the heir of the Marquis of Yongning was something they knew.
Jiang Luqi was upright, looked at the old lady, and continued: "The second uncle is not uncultivateable, my father often says that there is no class in education, not to mention that after the second uncle is a registered son-in-law, it will be more convenient and safe for him to act outside, and it will also save the second sister and the second aunt from always worrying about him." ”
"Did the fourth child tell you to say this?" The old lady brought the Buddha beads again, and the corners of her mouth rose, "I really didn't expect the fourth child to be so friendly to the second child." ”
"In addition to my father, my granddaughter can't think of it."
Jiang Luqi didn't dare to take credit, and put Jiang Siye on the table, "My father has always respected the second uncle, and always said that the second uncle has a pure heart, and who inherits the title among the brothers is not the same?" Where do you have to divide the high and low winners? ”
"The fourth career is optimistic, he is quite valued by the prince, and he has the style of a fair and benevolent person, which makes me not surprised."
The old lady patted Jiang Luqi's arm lovingly, "And you, the fourth girl can come to say this to me today, it is worthy of my special importance to you in the past, and at a critical time, I can see people's hearts, the fourth girl taught you well." ”
"Come, open the treasury, and take the tooth box rhino horn screen given by the Queen Mother, the green weaving golden crane cloud satin, the gold emblem crystal foot piano and the Qizhou snow inkstone."
"Whoa."
The old lady said that every thing is a treasure, it is difficult to buy it with money, and the most important thing is the things rewarded by the Queen Mother, which are even more precious.
Jiang Luqi doesn't seem to know her grandmother, she has never seen her grandmother so generous in her two lives, "grandmother ......"
"Silly girl, you and your father have come up with such a good idea for me, and the fourth child is very brotherly, like you who are affectionate and trustworthy, if I don't care, wouldn't it really become a confused old lady?"
"Grandmother, I can't take any of these things."
Jiang Luqi knelt in front of the old lady, raised her chin slightly, and said seriously: "Grandmother has thought of this a long time ago, but it was just the granddaughter who said it first." ”
"What's the matter? I'm worried about the current matter, your second uncle is messing around, I thought of Aunt Liu serving me, and I didn't control him strictly, who would have thought that someone would talk about Aunt Liu today. ”
The old lady didn't think about dragging Jiang Luqi, she wanted to kneel, she was afraid that her knees would hurt?
"You don't know when you're young, I also pity Aunt Liu back then, but the second child is not angry, which makes me disheartened...... Now that I see that poor Aunt Liu's life experience has been turned out, I am really angry and angry, and I feel a little more sorry for the second elder, and I am deeply ashamed of Aunt Liu, who entrusted the second child to my care, but no matter how big the guilt is, it is not as important as the stability of the Hou Mansion, and it is not as important as the inheritance of the title. ”
"Who knew that I underestimated the fourth child...... It's me who looks down on the fourth. Okay, I mislooked at them, but I'm glad I saw the wrong person, and it turns out that the fourth child is a good man! ”
The old lady wiped the corners of her eyes, "The fourth child is even willing to be a knight, what is this thing?" Qi girl, this is what the fourth child deserves. ”
"......" Jiang Luqi was completely stunned by the old lady, and she couldn't even tell whether the old lady was saying good things or bad words.
She only knew that as if she had done something that benefited others and was not beneficial to herself, the shadow of the old lady had a slight overlap with the 'kind' Princess Qin, and if she went back with some good things, she would be scolded to death by her father, and she would also be hated to death by the long house and the third room!
Originally, she wanted to put the matter of remembering Jiang Erye as her sister-in-law on the old lady's head, who would have thought ...... After some singing and doing by the old lady, she became a person of high character and did not ask for a title.
"The elders give it, and you can't say goodbye." The old lady said slowly, "The fourth girl can't hurt my heart, you have helped me a lot, and the second family will also miss you in the future." ”
The mother next to her handed a bunch of good things to Jiang Luqi, "The master has spoken, and the fourth lady should not shirk anymore." ”
"Thank you, grandmother." Jiang Luqi reluctantly took the good thing, her face couldn't help changing, she accepted the gift, and went back to explain to her father and brother.
The old lady waited until Jiang Luqi left, and said in a low voice: "Do you know what to say? ”
"Yes." Mom lowered her hand and asked, "However, do you really recognize Second Master Jiang?" ”
"The second girl is smart, with her in charge, the Hou Mansion does not say that she is rich and noble, and it is no problem to survive the battle for the throne safely, as for the second child...... Although he is a bastard, but his mind is pure, he just can't look down on me, and he won't take a bite out of me. ”
The old lady's eyes were deep, "I neglected the second room before, if it weren't for the four girls pushing out the second room one by one, I still don't understand, even if I don't care if there will be a concubine to serve in my later years, but ...... Who doesn't want to be too peaceful? ”
She can't be counted as innocent all her life, in case the person who inherits the Hou Mansion has a hole in her head, and she stands on the wrong team in her later years under His Majesty, who has a grudge, the Yongning Hou Mansion will be in trouble, she is the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, and she can't avoid it.
It's better to choose a person who is willing to be obedient, has no major problems, and has harmless small problems to inherit the Hou Mansion, Jiang Luyao is smart and cautious, and has a sense of the overall situation...... When it is time to be hard, we will never be soft-hearted.
"The second girl has no one in her heart except for the people close to her, so it's the best, better than the kind people, she won't suffer because of kindness, or be deceived."
The old lady didn't say a word, the second master Jiang inherited the title, and I think that the noble man will also take care of the Marquis of Yongning.
The third lady made waves in the Hou Mansion, making the old lady understand that she was really old and had times when she was short of energy......
"Will the second lady be happy?"
"I don't think so, that girl has to make trouble." The old lady hooked the corners of her mouth and said playfully: "The four girls boast of being smart, let the two of them make trouble, they have to come step by step, in case I tell the second girl who will inherit the title, I won't stop." ”
"Are you going to?"
"One sheep is also driven, two sheep are also herded, and the children are all older, and they still want me to carry them on their backs?" The old lady looked around at the slaves and maids serving around her like a warning, "Before the second girl comes, don't mention the named matter, I also want to try her." ”
"Yes, master."
In the second house, the second wife was slapping the table and breathing fire at the shopkeeper who came to report the account: "If I say it wrong, I am wrong, you have simply miscalculated the account and embezzled the money of the Hou Mansion!" ”
"The second wife wronged the slave, and the slave has been a housekeeper for more than ten years, and she has never been greedy for a penny of her master's money."
Someone in the housekeeper took the lead, and others naturally appealed to the grievances of being humiliated by the second wife.
They don't look down on the second room from their hearts, and they don't have much respect for the second wife, thinking that she is just a trick, and no one would have thought that they would mix under the second wife for a lifetime, and the second wife would become the mistress of the Hou Mansion.
"What's the matter, it's so lively, tell me about it."
Jiang Luyao stood at the door with a smile, "Why did I just hear that someone was going to cry in front of my grandfather?" ”
Most of the stewards who came to report the accounts were very dignified in the Hou Mansion, and most of them were born to the family, and their ancestors had stayed in the Hou Mansion for generations, and the only person they were afraid of was the old lady, that is, to the Marquis of Yongning, they were mostly perfunctory.
"Second Miss is not a slave disrespecting the second wife, it's just ...... It's just that the servants are conscientious for the Hou Mansion, and they don't dare to be greedy for silver. ”
"The slave would rather be innocently killed by the second wife than admit the sin of greedy for the master's silver."
"Doing business outside, it is inevitable that there will be some losses, the masters of the Hou Mansion don't know the difficulties of business, this year is not good, the income on the books is a little less than in previous years, but it can't be said that the slaves have a black heart."
Several stewards in foreign brocade clothes wept and wiped their tears, as if if they didn't give them an explanation, they would die as if they were determined to die.
As the master, he is actually very afraid of the family giving birth to trouble, after all, the Hou Mansion is not very clean, in case the past dirty things are turned out, the faceless one is still the master.
Although the old lady is shrewd and capable, she sometimes turns a blind eye to the stewards, as long as it is not too excessive, she will not care, and the old lady understands very well the truth that when the water is clear, there is no fish.
Even if there is a change of people, they may not do well.
Jiang Luyao didn't have to hold on to them, she was in a bad mood at this time, the stewards deliberately embarrassed the second wife and let her anger rise up, and now she can't deal with the people who are making waves in her back, and she can't handle a group of stewards?
When did the second room let others on their necks and didn't dare to gnaw?
She has never been afraid of trouble, she just doesn't want to add more troubles, the fact that her grandmother Aunt Liu is a cheap drama has been turned out, and the second room is lacking the opportunity to stand up......
"I'll have to see the merits to understand." Jiang Luyao walked into the house, picked up the account book from the table, and squinted at the stewards who staged Dou E's injustice, "If my mother is right, even if you don't go to find your grandfather, I will escort you there." ”
“……”
The stewards looked at each other, somehow a little worried, but when they saw Jiang Luyao's young face, they thought to themselves, even the shrewd old lady couldn't see the skills of making accounts, and they didn't believe that the second lady, who had always been inconspicuous, could see the flaws.
Just scare people! The teenage girl is afraid that she can't even understand the abacus......
The sound of crackling and dialing the plan plate made the stewards' eyes almost bulge, they have been dealing with abacus and account books all year round, no matter which of them has the speed of the second miss's plan, the second miss is not fooling.
The second wife knows her daughter's ability very well, and her face is full of pride, you black-hearted ghosts who don't see the coffin and don't cry, is it okay to fall into the hands of your daughter?
Picking up the fan on the side, the second wife took the initiative to fan Jiang Luyao, who was settling accounts, thinking in her heart, looking at her daughter's serious appearance, she would definitely dig up a lot of moths this time, and when the time came...... The money reported to the old lady is not what she has to say?
What if my daughter doesn't agree?
The second wife fanned the fan all over again, she wouldn't cry, her daughter couldn't stand the tears the most.
