Mama Qing brought the box, and there were a few account books in it, including embroidery rooms, flower and tree houses, and fruit and vegetable farms in the suburbs. Mama Qing smiled and said: "This fruit and vegetable village was originally the princess's marriage, and the palace also has fruit and vegetable villages, but it is far from being as good as the princess's, and there are many fruits and vegetables every year. The old lady of the Jiang family is originally a person who can take care of it, and seven or eight years ago, someone took care of this fruit and vegetable village and came out for the princess to prepare. ”

Ling Wei and Xin exchanged glances, and Ling Wei said: "This was originally your dowry Zhuangzi, how can I take care of it, I want to be told." ”

"Mine, also from the palace, my mother-in-law will help me take care of it, Mama Qiao originally came from the fruit and vegetable village, she is familiar with the affairs over there, with her to help her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law will take care of it properly."

Ling Wei glanced at Mama Qiao, and now she realized that even this Mama Qiao was Su Yan's companion, no wonder Mama Qing boasted about it.

In this way, she is a person who doesn't understand, and she can't be said to be ignorant of taking care of the inner house.

Qing Mama first handed over the account book on the fruit and vegetable village.

I took the account book of the embroidery room, "This is the embroidery room, there are several silk and satin villages under the name of the palace, and sometimes I take the job of making wedding dresses and clothes for people, and I send them to the embroidery room." The wages of the work, seventy percent of the embroidery room, and three percent of the silk village. ”

Mama Qing handed the account book to Ling Wei, "The masters in the house make clothes, pick up good materials and send them, and let the embroidery room be done." ”

She looked at Ling Wei and Xin's, "When Miss Ye Wu was in the house last month, she made a total of five clothes, three of which were originally silk and satin jobs, but she took a fancy to the material and robbed it. ”

Mama Qiao took over. Immediately said: "The slave maid has also heard of this, saying that this Miss Ye Wu is very rampant. The housekeeper of the embroidery room said that it was a job sent by the silk Zhuangzi, but he didn't listen. actually forced the embroidery girl to cut the material according to her figure, so that the shopkeeper on the silk village apologized to the female guests, and searched all over the imperial city, only to find the same fancy and the same fabric to make another ......"

Xin raised his eyebrows, "I have never seen anything like this in the world." connived at her niece's niece to run rampant in other people's houses. ”

Ling Wei didn't say much, but secretly said in her heart: It is not easy to see that Su Yan and Yu Wenyan are not easy, the Ye family is by the side of Yu Wenyan's mother, and she is doing evil, and now she is her mother. I have to think more for them.

Ling Wei took over the account book of the embroidery room, which means that from now on, the embroidery room will also be taken care of by her.

Qing Mama took the account book of the flower and wood house and said: "Together with this flower and wood house, there is also a Zhuangzi that specializes in planting flowers and trees, and the 'Wanhua Nursery' near the imperial city overpass is the shop of the palace." After the princess married into the palace, she specially asked the old lady of the Jiang family to find a few people who could grow flowers and grass, and opened this nursery, and the business was also very good. Flowers come out all year round. Most of the flowers on the Zhuangzi are bought on the shop, and sometimes like some official houses, they can't grow good flowers at home, so they also buy them from the shop.

Flowers are planted in the flower and wood houses of other official mansions. It is for domestic use. Most of the flowers in our house come from Huamu Zhuangzi. The flowers and trees in Fuzhong are mainly used to breed new varieties, such as the moon season of the twelve bachelors and the rose of the eight immortals crossing the sea...... Because it is to breed new varieties. It costs a lot of money. How much income does the flower and wood Zhuangzi have, and how much does the flower and wood house spend. It's all written clearly in this book. ”

Hui Niang moved her eyes to look at Su Yan, who was also a woman. People can take care of it so well.

Ling Wei's face was embarrassed, "I'...... I'm afraid it's not good to take care of ......."

Mama Qing said with a smile: "The master florist of the flower and wood house has been raising flowers for a living for generations, and his family has several members of the palace to serve in the palace, and there are eight capable girls in the flower and wood room to help raise flowers." Mama Qiao also knows a little bit about raising flowers, so she can help her. ”

Mama Qiao hurriedly bowed and said, "Mama Qing will really lift me up." I know how to grow vegetables and fruit trees, but I really don't understand the delicate work of raising flowers. ”

Su Yan is not angry, and always has a slight smile.

Xin Shi gently grabbed Ling Wei with her hand, she has been a wife, she understands these things, some of them sound complicated, once you get started, in fact, it is just like that, "When you were in Qingxin Villa, you didn't often say that you wanted to help the children. Now that you've asked for help, how can you say that you can't take care of it. ”

Ling Wei hesitated, she admired Su Yan so much at this moment, she was not very old, she could take care of so many things, and said, "Since Sister Xin said it, I will take care of it first...... If you don't take care of it well, I'll take care of it later. ”

Isn't it just raising flowers and cultivating new varieties, in fact, it is not that difficult.

Su Yan handed it over, and handed it over to the account room every month to find out, how much money was earned on the flower and tree Zhuangzi, how much silver was spent on the flower and wood house in the house, and the flower and wood house cultivated a new variety, and then handed it over to the head of the flower and tree Zhuangzi, raised well, and then sold it from the shop at a good price. After calculating, it cost two taels of silver, and when it was sold, it might be ten taels or even more than ten taels.

Mama Qing said again: "The mother-in-law in the big kitchen and miscellaneous warehouse are also powerful, if there is anything, Concubine Jing only needs to give them an order." There is a special yard on the side of the miscellaneous warehouse, and the two large rooms are for ingredients, such as fungus, ginseng, deer antler, and bird's nest; and another room for the storage of grain.

Fresh vegetables are kept in the large kitchen storeroom.

There is a treasury stacked with silk and satin, which contains palace silk and tribute satin, in addition to the queen mother in the palace and the queen to the princess, and there are also gifts sent by various palaces during the festival.

There are two warehouses stacked with ornaments, one with all kinds of ornaments, such as porcelain vases, vases, etc.; The other room is a room with plates, plates, pots, scoops, etc.

There was a storehouse with gifts from various provinces, which was considered to be more valuable. Earlier, the lord of Qingxia County was in charge of the palace, so he picked good things to make her dowry. There are special books for each province to come and go, and when the time comes, the concubine will look at the return gifts and give gifts. ”

The eldest girl in Jingtang served refreshments, and after that, several people held the tray and stood silently on the side to listen to Mama Qing.

Qing Mama took ten pieces of exquisite workmanship silver poor cards, each with two fingers wide, five inches long, tied with red tassels, engraved on the back of the "left shoulder of the palace" four big characters, one side is engraved with the word "Jingtang", decorated with a dragon pattern around, the front is engraved with the word "bad card", is also a dragon auspicious cloud pattern.

"This is what the princess ordered the Internal Affairs Office to supervise earlier. If you receive silver and objects, you will write a note with the steward and the subordinates, and then give the 'bad card', and when they receive the things, they must immediately send the 'bad card' back. ”

When Ling Wei heard it at the moment, she only felt a cloud in the clouds, "This is too troublesome......

Xin Shi hurriedly said: "But all the princes and princes are doing this. With the slips, the account office can record the accounts. ”

Mama Qing smiled: "Mrs. Xin is right. ”

There are two more pass tokens in the box, "There are hundreds of people up and down this palace, some of the mother-in-law and doorman who guard the door do not know, and some do not recognize the doorman of the house, this does not matter, and the housekeeper and the housekeeper let the housekeeper lead the people." The doormen are all eye-seeing, and they usually see them once and remember where they are.

Mrs. Xin and Miss Hui also had to meet the housekeeper and let her know each other with the doormen. When visiting each prefecture, the name card will be handed in advance, and these pass tokens are prepared for the guests in the permanent residence.

When the guests leave the palace, they have to return the pass tokens, and they must not stay for long. Earlier, I heard that there was a guest in Shouwang's Mansion who left a token, and a wicked person pretended to be a distinguished guest, which led to a robbery. Like Master Ling and Uncle Ling, if they stay in the house for a few more days, the mother-in-law and the doorman on the door are familiar with each other, and they don't need to use the pass token anymore. ”

Mama Qing said a lot of this because she wanted to tell Ling Wei that this matter was not a trivial matter, and she must keep the pass license of the palace well.

Orthodox, Tian Zhuangshi stood at the door of the flower hall and said, "Concubine Ling, princess, Weiyuan Houfu sent an invitation." ”

Bai Yan took it and handed it to Ling Wei.

Xin stretched his neck and glanced at it, "The second son of the prince of Weiyuan Houfu will turn 1 year old on the first day of the first month of March, and invite us to the first birthday banquet." ”

Ling Wei looked at Mama Qing and Mama Qiao.

Mama Qiao bowed down and said, "The Han family of Weiyuan Houfu is the in-law of the county lord of Qingxia. At the beginning of the month, Mrs. Wei Yuanhou had a birthday banquet, and she didn't give us a post in the palace, and then the princess gave a generous gift to the lord of Qingxia County. I thought that the Han family was a governor, and my family had a hundred days, and no one from the Han family came, and there were no gifts. ”

Xin asked, "What kind of gift did Mrs. Wei Yuanhou give?" ”

Mama Qiao replied: "It's an obsidian Buddha bead worth thousands of taels of silver." ”

Xin Shi rolled his eyes, "It's really rare, Weiyuan Houfu is also a century-old public waiting house, and he doesn't even have personal knowledge, he has received other people's gifts, but he doesn't know how to return the gifts, and now he has a cheeky face and sends it again." ”

Ling Wei glanced at the invitation card and looked at Su Yan with a sense of inquiry.

Su Yan said casually, "Mother-in-law is now taking care of the palace, what do you say you should do?" ”

Xin felt that this face-saving matter had to be taken over, even if she was tired of the two daughters born to the Ye family, but the Han family sent an invitation, she always had to back up the gift, "I'll just prepare a pair of silver bell bracelets worn by children." ”

This is a very thin gift. gave a gift, which can be regarded as giving enough face.

Ling Wei glanced at the Xin family, "In my heart, the Han family doesn't take our house seriously, and we should confiscate the invitations we receive, and we don't give gifts, but let people say something, 'People respect me, I respect people.'" 'Who can let us give a gift back, but we don't know how to return it.' ”

As soon as Ling Wei heard that the palace had sent valuable obsidian Buddha beads as a birthday gift, her heart ached. When Ling Wei was young, her family was not well-off, and she disliked the Han family more and more at the moment.

Especially when I heard that the Han family was the in-law of the county lord of Qingxia, I was quite disappointed when I thought that Qingxia had been in Yaodong for 100 days, and there was no gift. Although they were not born to the same mother, they were all children of the old prince.

Qingxia can do it, and she can do it.

She treats others as they would have treated her.

Su Yan smiled, feeling that Ling Wei had some appetite for her.

She gave a generous gift to Lu He at the birthday banquet of Mrs. Weiyuan, which was a temptation.

If Mrs. Wei Yuanhou was the governor, when she received a generous gift, she should have made up another gift for the Yaodong 100-day banquet, but after all these days, she never received it. (To be continued......)
