But Fang Qi knew that his mother-in-law, Wang, was not as open as Zhou Xiaoniang.

In the eyes of Mrs. Wang, Qin Mu's house is all outsiders, and nothing can be inherited by them at all, but in fact, Qin Mu's career is brighter than Qin Jing, and Mrs. Wang will not go to the court to question the officials of the Ministry - obviously my husband is the heir of the Prime Minister, why do you want to promote an adopted son?

Mrs. Wang knew very well in her heart that her husband Qin Jing was not an official.

The eldest son Qin Ze was sick and weak, and he didn't force him to study when he was young, so he naturally had no hope of taking the imperial examination, even if his health improved in the future, at most he would get a shadow seal and send Lu Guan, not just a white body, but he didn't have the slightest hope of holding real power.

Although Mrs. Wang is over half a hundred years old, but Qin Xun and the old lady are even older, Mrs. Wang will think that the second elder will go ahead, and the parents are gone, Qin Jing and Qin Mu will naturally separate, and Qin Jing's career may come to an end, so if they want to maintain the glory and wealth, how can they do it without relying on wealth? Mrs. Wang has already made up her mind, as long as the two ancestors pass away, she will definitely not allow Qin Zhi to live, even if Qin Ze's life is short and there are no heirs, she will also promote Qin Jing to inherit an heir from the clan, and he is an heir! That's the inheritance of incense for her son!

Therefore, Qin Ze's wife must be the daughter of the Wang family, and she must also be the daughter of her siblings, so that Mrs. Wang will not feel that it is cheap to outsiders.

Qin Mu's house should have been cleaned up!

But Mrs. Wang's brother-in-law Wang Di, the youngest daughter of the grandson has long been dedicated to the Liao court, and is still a slave in the Liao Palace, only Wang Lin, because of the death of his wife, married a continuation, and the birth of the seventh mother Wang Su is still to be married, although Wang Lin is not willing to let Wang Kun marry Qin Ze, who is "uncertain about life and death", but Mrs. Wang has already identified Wang Kun as her eldest son-in-law.

With her own life, Mrs. Wang believes that the concubine Li must be based on financial interests, and is unwilling to leave the house, so she colludes with Qin and his wife, and wants to start a family property battle with her at this time - after all, Qin Mu is the heir of Qin Xun who opened the ancestral hall and officially adopted, from the patriarchal point of view, it is no different from Qin Jing, Mrs. Wang's idea of letting the second room clean out of the house is actually not recognized by the patriarchal law and public opinion at all, she wants to achieve the goal of letting the second room clean out of the house, then she must always firmly control the housekeeper's rights, First use the authority to transfer all the property that should be transferred, and finally leave an empty bag rack, just divide the grange or something.

Since Mrs. Wang believes that Miao Niangzi has "exposed her attempt", of course, she must strike first.

She chose this time to target Miao Niangzi's "party disciples", although she will definitely be considered by the second elder of Xiangdi as having a desire to take revenge, but at this time, the second elder can use Fangzi to further envelop the Xu family, especially the old lady, and she can't tolerate Qin Mu's adopted son to gain power, and she naturally has to turn a blind eye to her revenge, as long as it can be confirmed that Miao Niangzi's manpower has indeed made mistakes, not that she is framing her, then she will not be prevented from pulling out these thorns in her eyes one by one, and completely grasping the power of the housekeeper.

As for Fang Qi, Mrs. Wang didn't pay attention to it at all, just on the battlefield of the housekeeper, Mrs. Wang seemed that Fang Qi was not even qualified to be a pawn.

But I don't want to be a "pawn" in Fang Period, and I'm ready to put on armor and go into battle.

Even if she didn't listen to Mrs. Wang's mercy and obediently married Peng Zizhan, this level is not enough to make Mrs. Wang have a boneless hatred for her, gritting her teeth and wanting to ruin her life and make her recover, then Fang Qi has no need to go against Mrs. Wang, and has long put her mind on the "right path" of relying on her own hands and mind to seek abundant food and clothing in the future.

But who let her grandfather instruct her to ruin Qin Fangzi's vision of marrying Ge Erlang? The result is good, Qin Fangzi can't marry Ge Erlang, but she is bent on harming Second Brother Xu, and Fang Ji even ruined Qin Fangzi's two marriages, how could she be delusional that Mrs. Wang would spare her?

The grandfather's backer is not enough, and Fang needs the support of the second aunt.

And day by day, Fang will still go to find Miao Niangzi to learn housekeeping, thinking that even if he can marry a loving and righteous Hanmenzi, at first the family population is simple, but there is no need to worry about not being able to deal with housework, but if the husband is admitted to the fame in the future, awarded an official position, it is inevitable to hire more servants and maids, and there are more things to do, and the movement between the officials and dependents, understanding how some high-ranking families manage internal affairs, and making friends and entertaining will also get twice the result with half the effort.

Housewives who don't have the ability will be disliked, not respected, and their lives will not be comfortable.

She is also a half-sincere "learning".

Of course, I found that Aunt Miao was a little absent-minded again.

This time, the servants and maids who were found to be wrong and omitted by Mrs. Wang, of course, not all of them were Qin Xun's henchmen who were recruited through Miao's snare, and even if there were so many of them, it was not a heavy punishment for expulsion but a transfer and demotion, Miao and Qin discussed it, and they both thought that there was no need to alarm the patriarch of the day, but those servants and maids who respected the Miao family were sure that the eldest lady would not be soft, and they would inevitably be expelled, so they rushed up to find Miao's grievances.

Also known as "the rabbit dies and the fox is sad" and "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold", Miao's henchmen also expected that the eldest lady would never let them go, in order to keep this welfare both high and stable livelihood, they also asked Miao not to let the eldest lady press step by step, so many people's petitions Miao certainly can't ignore it, but for a while can't think of a good way to "consolidate the position".

Even if she knew about the uncle, but she didn't get the error of the eldest lady, the uncle would have a hard time explaining to the old lady, so the method of suing the small lady would not work at all.

Aunt Miao Wu was at a loss, Fang Qi would naturally care about and ask, Miao Wu Aunt thought that the head of the family did have the idea of comparing Sanniang, so she didn't hide this trouble, and really planned to listen to Fang Qi's opinions.

But Fang Qi listened to it again, and the first thing he said was a question: "Could it be that the mistakes and omissions detected by Mrs. Wu are all true?" ”

"It's true." Miao is also willing to explain to Fang Qi: "But these mistakes and omissions are unavoidable, such as the loss of the Inner Treasury Bureau, the reason why it is inconsistent with the book, is only because most of the people who cause the loss are the powerful servants and maids around the big and small masters, according to the rules set by the family, the servants and maids are used to fine wages, but most of the branch managers of the Internal Treasury Bureau do not dare to offend these people who are trusted by the owner's family, so if they are not precious utensils, they will generally not be recorded and reported."

The prince and the old lady are not ignorant of these things, but they have not been held accountable, but also because they know how to behave in the world can not be more true everywhere, the loss caused by horizontal and vertical is not large, and why bother to blame the subordinates, the reason why they did not simply cancel this family rule is also to play the role of warning, after all, if the servant is careless, causing too much wear and tear or destroying precious utensils, then it can not be punished.

Of course, there is another important reason, if the family rules are not in accordance with this rule, it is inevitable that some servants and maids will become greedy, and they will steal and sell property for profit by lying about their losses. ”

"Although Weng Weng and the wife know that these mistakes and omissions are inevitable, the eldest lady must be investigated, and she has not been severely punished, but there is no reason to stop the eldest lady's behavior." Fang Qi frowned.

"If only the internal treasury bureau is found to be wrong, I will try to plead with the old lady, but the eldest lady this time the error is not limited to the internal treasury bureau, such as the procurement office, although the servant woman in charge of procurement does not dare to report more money, but the servant woman always inevitably spends money when she goes out, such as the weather is so hot, it is inevitable to buy a bowl of cold water on the way, or because of the errand missed the meal, you have to eat outside the restaurant, these bits and pieces of money, let the servant bear the big inappropriate, but it is not decent to record it in the account, Therefore, it is customary to add it to the total purchase item.

In the past, the inspection room looked at the accounts, and as long as the discrepancies were not large, they knew what the situation was, so they did not study it in detail, but this time Wu Shi used this discrepancy to make a fuss.

Even the Smoked Meat Bureau, the Soup Bureau, the smoked meat has been dusty for too long, of course, it can no longer be sent to the master's table, and in the past, the servants and maids of the Smoked Meat Bureau shared the food, how to keep accounts? The servants and maids of the soup bureau, what is it worth to drink two bowls of soup by yourself? But even the subtleties of this idea, Wu Shi even held on tightly. ”

Miao was obviously very dissatisfied with his new subordinate.

"But isn't the servant on the eldest lady's side guilty of such a mistake?" Fang Qi resolutely did not believe that Mrs. Wang's "party members" could be careful and cautious to this extent.

"How can this be without? However, the eldest lady came prepared this time, and the Wu family is indeed extremely proficient in the books, it should be before the attack, the Wu family has already flattened the accounts, and I have checked and checked, and I have not found any mistakes or omissions. ”

This is also one of the reasons why Miao can't question the eldest lady's fuss, if you talk about conventions, how to explain that the eldest lady's manpower is not "greedy" small advantages?

Moreover, a number of suggestions put forward by the Wu family, clarifying the account items, in fact, did not harm the interests of the people, and the harsh statement of questioning the eldest lady is not tenable at all.

"Aunt Five, don't be impatient." Fang Qi thought about it carefully, and then began to make suggestions: "This time, the servants and maids who were found to be wrong and missing, all thought that the eldest lady would be killed completely, and I thought that there must be a secret person on the eldest lady's side who instigated it, if the fifth aunt fought back first, the eldest lady had an excuse to reprimand the servants and maids who were punished this time because they were disobedient and made trouble, then there was really an excuse to drive them all away, but if the fifth aunt did not move first, the eldest lady would take action, and then it would be inevitable to use the means of framing and framing, as long as the fifth aunt found out the facts, You can cut off the arms of the eldest lady. ”

Miao thought about it carefully, and it seemed that there was only this way.

But she still didn't forget to discuss with Qin.

"Originally, because of the kindness of the clan uncle, we have been assisting in the affairs of the Xiang Mansion, not at all for our own profit, there is really no need to fight with the eldest lady, but if the eldest lady is allowed to be all over the mansion, but the clan uncle's people will be excluded and driven away, which is never happy for the clan uncle."

Qin Zhen thought so: "Because the official family is ignorant and can't listen to the advice at all, the clan uncle was worried that he might not die well, if the clan uncle is punished, don't say that Da Lang Jun, even Erlang Jun has not been able to maintain the honor of Qin Men, if Erlang Jun breaks off his career, and he can't share the family business, how bleak is the situation?" Although the clan uncle did not have the idea of obtaining family property for Erlangjun in the past, I thought that now I should take precautions, and I can't watch it, but if there is a case, Erlangjun has no fixed place to live, and he doesn't even have the basis to ensure the consumption of food and clothing. ”

"The idea of the officials is ......"

"The housework of the Xiangdi cannot be fully controlled by the eldest lady, and the second lady should also assist in the management."
