Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu are not brainless, after learning calligraphy and painting with Mr. Miao, they probably know that they have just arrived, this place is not theirs, and they didn't dare to move at all, which made Shu Manyao breathe a sigh of relief - she was not afraid, she was not free, life was so long, she couldn't let herself keep thinking about revenge, now she understands, Xu's person, is really too careful, as long as she lives well, it is the most unbearable thing on shijie for her.

Therefore, no matter when, Shu Manyao must focus on his own affairs first. In the morning, I studied with Mr. Miao, in the afternoon I learned the rules with Chen's mother, and in the evening I learned to read the account book with the old lady.

Housekeeper is roughly divided into two contents, one is to use people and arrange things, when to do what things, when to use what things, when to give what gifts, this must be known clearly. The other is to look at the account book, so the old lady deliberately turned out the account book from more than ten years ago and compared it to Shu Manyao for Shu Manyao to see.

"In the past, when your mother was housekeeper, she was the most impatient to read the account book, she was so smart that she knew that it would not work if she didn't read it, and after thinking about it for a few days, she actually thought of a very simple way. Just ......"

The old lady sighed, the Xu family would never use the accounting method left by Man Yao's mother, and she even wished that there was no trace of the Chen family at home. Therefore, after a few years of Xu's housekeeper, no one knows the method of managing accounts.

"Look at this account for yourself and see what you can't see." The old lady stretched out her hand and took out an account book and handed it to Shu Manyao, paused and asked, "You have seen Aunt Wang in the past two days?" ”

Aunt Wang's month is getting bigger and bigger, and since she has been beating for eight months, the old lady has not allowed her to come to ask for peace. Every day, I only sent someone to ask about the situation, Dr. Xiao Song entered the college held by the Tai Hospital, and moved away from the Shu family before, and the doctor invited by the Shu family was surnamed Li, which was also quite famous in the capital. Dr. Li would come over every three days to check Aunt Wang's pulse, and if you count it, it's the third day today.

"I didn't see it, Aunt Wang didn't go out easily." Shu Manyao said with a smile, she can't come to see her father's concubine. The old lady also knew this, nodded and said, "I still have some ginseng here, and I still have old ginseng of the year." Aunt Wang is about to give birth, so you can take a moment to send this ginseng to her. ”

A woman giving birth to a child is like passing through the ghost gate, Aunt Wang has always been duty, and the Shu family will not do that kind of thing to go to the mother and keep the child, so since these life-saving medicines are available, they will not be stingy. Let Man Yao send it over, which is to let Aunt Wang remember Man Yao's favor. Although Aunt Wang chose to stand on the old lady's side before, the old lady is old, and she always plans for Man Yao, so she is more willing to make Aunt Wang and Man Yao befriend.

"Grandmother, you should keep this ginseng to make up for it, Aunt Wang, I have already asked Dr. Li to pay attention, if there is ginseng of the old year, no matter how much, our family can always buy it." Shu Manyao said with a smile, signaling Jin Ling not to take the ginseng: "Grandmother, no matter how precious the child in Aunt Wang's belly is, for me, it is not as important as grandmother, grandmother, you are my dearest relative, and you are the person who loves Manyao the most, and good things are naturally left to grandmother." ”

The old lady was full of joy that this granddaughter was finally not in vain. It's just that the old lady smiled and said, "You stupid boy, you also know that our family can't afford it, how can grandmother only have such a ginseng here?" Don't worry, grandmother has a lot of it here, and it's a waste if you don't use it. Moreover, my grandmother's body is very haode, and now it is not better than using ginseng to raise, otherwise there is really a disease, what will I eat when the time comes? ”

Instructed Jin Ling to get the ginseng, the old lady smiled and patted Shu Manyao's hand: "You take time to send it over, Wang's month is not small, maybe it will be launched one day, don't wait for it to be launched before sending it over." ”

Shu Manyao nodded, and was about to speak, when the maid outside reported that the second and third girls were coming. The old lady hurriedly asked people to invite them in, Shu Manyu was still so lively, and when she came in and saluted, she came to the old lady's side: "Grandmother, what are you and your eldest sister whispering?" ”

The old lady pinched her cheek: "What can you whisper?" Just to check your big sister's homework, can you two finish your homework for today? Does the gentleman have any additional assignments? ”

The old lady saw that Shu Manyao was really reluctant to take the women's red class, and Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu were very interested in calligraphy and painting, so they adjusted the curriculum of the girls in the family again, in the morning, the three of them learned calligraphy and painting together, and in the afternoon Shu Manyao learned the rules, and then Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu went to learn women's red and read and read.

"It's done, Mr. praised me today, I did a very good job today." Shu Manyu said proudly, and took out a handkerchief from his sleeve for the old lady to see: "Grandmother, look, this is what I embroidered today, is it beautiful?" I want to give it to my father, but I don't know if my father likes this pattern or not. ”

The old lady took it and looked at it, nodded and praised: "It's really good, and your father must like it too." When he returns, you give it to him, and when he is happy, he may give you something in reward. ”

"Really?" Shu Manyu was very surprised: "I have long fallen in love with the pen holder in my father's study, which is the one made of bamboo, and the carving on it is really lifelike, if only my father could reward me with that." ”

said, turned his head to look at Shu Manyao again: "By the way, big sister, didn't we say last time that we were going to make clothes for grandmother, father, and Zheming?" Mine is almost ready, how much has the big sister done? ”

Shu Manjin pinched her: "Fool, didn't you say that you want to surprise your grandmother and father?" ”

Shu Manyu was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the old lady, the old lady hurriedly picked up the teacup, and asked Yao's mother next to her with a blank face: "Oh, people are useless when they are old, these ears are almost unable to hear things, what did the three girls say just now?" Want a pen holder? That's too easy, I'll ask your dad to buy more and come back, two per person! ”

Shu Manjin couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and Shu Manyu also nodded with a smile: "Yes, one person and two, it can't be the same!" ”

The old lady drank tea with a smile, and when Shu Chengye came back and had dinner with the family, Shu Manyu said again: "Big sister, it's still early at this time, will I go to your place with my second sister to sit for a while?" ”

Without waiting for Shu Manyao to speak, the old lady smiled and said, "Go, go, I'll have someone send you a supper in a while." Shu Chengye also looked at them with a smile, with a look of relief: "Go, you sisters talk, I'll take Zheming to the study, just to inspect his homework, mother, your supper, don't forget to send us some too." ”

Shu Manyao had no choice but to get up, saluted the old lady and Shu Chengye, and led Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu to their courtyard. Shu Manjin smiled a little embarrassedly: "Manyu is also too competitive, don't mind big sister." ”

Shu Manyao shook his head, glanced at Shu Manyu, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I don't like to show people things that haven't been made, but since you are my sister, it's okay to look at it occasionally." By the way, I heard from my grandmother that my mother had written a letter, how was my mother's health? ”

After Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu came back, Xu wrote a letter back from time to time, with one purpose - to bring her back. For this reason, Manyu also thought about pretending to be sick, but she didn't know who made a move for her behind her back, and before the old lady could react, Shu Manyu immediately recovered.

In this regard, Shu Manyao said that it is a pity, if Shu Manyu can get seriously ill, maybe the time for Xu's blessing can be extended for another year and a half.

Shu Manyao is very curious about the people behind Shu Manyu, smart and knowledgeable about current affairs, and can control Shu Manyu's small artillery battle, which shows that the means are not ordinary.

As for Shu Manjin, he is much smarter than Shu Manyu, since he came back, he has been quiet, and when he doesn't speak, he is almost forgotten, he never mentions Xu's on his lips, and only occasionally looks haggard, but he still has to make the old lady happy with a smile.

This trick is really more effective, although the old lady and Shu Chengye are tired of Xu's, they are a little guilty about Shu Manjin, although for Shu Manyao's sake, they did not propose to take Xu's back for the time being, but Shu Manyao always felt that the day Xu came back would not be too far away.

"I'm slow to do the work, and I'm only halfway through it, and I haven't done the embroidery on the placket." Shu Manyao asked Xia Xi to get the clothes she made, spread them out for Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu to see, Shu Manyu reached out and touched it, and praised: "Big sister, this embroidery is really good, I think it, big sister must be much smarter than me, you see, big sister doesn't have to go to that female red class, she can do it so well, I go to class every day, and do the work, well, in the words of the second sister, it is the same as a cat scratching." ”

Shu Manjin pursed his lips: "Just your work, I'm embarrassed to show off in front of my grandmother, and I'll blush for you." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Shu Manyao: "Big sister, is there any trick to this?" I always feel that no matter how much I practice, I don't look as good as my big sister. The eldest sister has only been studying for less than a year, and my third sister and I have been studying for several years, but we are still not as good as the eldest sister. ”

Shu Manyao raised her eyebrows slightly and folded the clothes: "It's like the second sister said, this is to be practiced, just practice more." In the past, when the two of you were in class, I had nothing to do, and I didn't like to go out, so I nested in my room to be a female celebrity, and I have been practicing for nearly ten years. ”

Anyway, the people around her, who can't be trusted, have been left on Jiangnan East Road. Those who stay around are very reliable, and if Shu Manjin wants to find fault in this aspect, he is in the wrong place.

Shu Manjin's face was slightly embarrassed, thought about it, and gave Shu Manyao a big gift: "Big sister, all kinds of things in the past, the sisters were ignorant, jealous that my sister could be favored by my grandmother and father, and my mother felt sorry for our sisters, so I had bad intentions towards my big sister...... "I don't know if it's shame or annoyance, Shu Manjin's face turned red, and she pulled Shu Manyu, and the sisters gave Shu Manyao a big gift again: "Only now, my mother has known her mistakes, and the mistakes she made in the past can no longer be corrected, and she will definitely not make them again in the future. also begged the eldest sister to forgive her this time. "
