Yan Jingshu sat beside Zhao across Yan Jingyuan. The two are side by side, red and indigo, like a sweet spring meets a spirit, and a breeze meets a flame. Today, Yan Jingshu is dressed as usual in an elegant outfit, with only two moon-white jade hairpins in her hair, indigo dots and emerald wipes on her forehead, wearing a light blue Luo skirt, with a moon-white double-embroidered short jacket, and the neckline and cuffs are embroidered with indigo blue silk thread and silver silk moire. In fact, just looking at Yan Jingshu, because of the kind of soothing peace in her, she always seems to be extraordinary among all beautiful women, but today because of Yan Jingyuan's dress, she seems to be a little dull.

Zhao and Yan Jingyuan Yan Jingshu talked about their son, and Danqing came in with Steward Liu and Steward Huang of Zhuangzi and Shop.

Steward Liu's name is Liu Wu, he is the steward in charge of Zhuangzi's accounts, he grew up in Zhuangzi since he was a child, and his ancestors are all working for the Yan family, although his surname is Liu, he is also a servant of the Yan Mansion. Huang Steward's real name is Huang Han, who is in charge of the large and small shops of the Yan Mansion, and walks some business accounts on weekdays, because this is doing business in the city, although he is not a servant of the Yan Mansion, but because of the frequent exchanges, he is more comfortable walking between the Yan Mansion.

"The servant greets the lady."

"Steward Liu, Steward Huang, please get up quickly." Zhao said gently to the two stewards.

"Mrs. Xie, this is the account collected by Zhuangzi this year, please take a look." Liu Erbi respectfully handed over the account book, although he has come to pay the account all these years, but the people he comes into contact with on weekdays are crop men, and it is too cramped to suddenly come to this high-ranking family. Liu Er is a typical farmer, with a dark complexion, thin arms but not thin, and a pair of gray eyes on his square face. Because of the main work in recent years, his wrinkled face has also become ruddy, and he still has that loyal and honest appearance.

"This is a summary of the shop, and the subordinates have classified it according to the location of the street and the category of the shop, so that it is convenient for the lady to watch." Different from Liu Er's sturdiness, Huang Han's body is slightly wider, his face is piled with fine white meat, and a pair of eyes are squeezed to leave only a crooked slit, but because of his sweet mouth, this appearance looks extremely pleasing.

Zhao smiled kindly and patted Yan Jingshu's arm, and motioned for Yan Jingshu to take the account book and look at it aside.

Yan Jingshu took the account books with some solemnity, while Zhao discussed the business rules with the stewards in detail. This is the first time that Zhao has let her look at the accounts in the past few days with Zhao, and she used to say some skills in reading accounts, she knew that this was what Zhao was teaching her, and the test for her was not to be said and she looked at it word by word.

Rong Kang Tang

Mother Song walked into the courtyard with a solemn face, and waited for Mrs. Yan's summons in the courtyard with a worried face, in fact, she was not sure if Mrs. Yan would see her again today, but she always thought that she was old, and when she left the house, she was afraid that she would never have the opportunity to see the old lady again.

In fact, there is a reason why Song's mother was suddenly transferred to Youlan Courtyard, specifically in order to make up for the merits, Aunt Su was able to make such a big deal back then, and she helped again, and because of her grandson's future, the old lady was snubbed and couldn't get out of it, and then Mrs. Yan found out that there was her figure in that matter, thinking of the relationship between the master and servant in the past, she only secretly punished her for half a year in private. Although she was not heavily punished, she lost her friendship, and then the old lady no longer reused her, only Zhang's mother was by her side, she thought that she was just given up, and she thought that she would only wait until she was old enough to be released from the house to take care of her life, but she didn't expect that day the old lady Yan called her to her side and said something like that to her...

"Huaiqiu, how have you been doing in the past six months?"

"Slave maid, slave maid regrets not being at the beginning." Mother Song knelt on the ground, she knew that Old Madam Yan was preparing to let herself out.

"Do you know how I felt when I learned that you passed my message to Aunt Su in order to give your grandson a future? You've been with me for more than 40 years! Mrs. Yan held the handle on the chair and said bitterly.

"The slave is guilty! The slave and maid have no face to face the old lady again, and ask the old lady to expel the slave and maid from the house! Mother Song's head hung heavily to the ground, and a pair of old eyes were blurred by tears.

Old Madam Yan waved her hand, a little stunned, "That's it, how can you and I have more than 40 years of friendship between master and servant, how can it turn into nothing." ”

"Old lady..."Tears slowly flowed down her cheekbones, and Mother Song looked at Mrs. Yan with guilt.

"Okay, you are already older than me, and I can't force you to keep you for many years, now that Meng Yatou is still young, you can go to her side to take care of her for a few days."

Mother Song was stunned in place, and when she looked back, she realized that this was the opportunity for the old lady to give her the opportunity to make up for her mistakes, and she was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly responded, "The slave and maid all listen to the old lady's arrangement." ”

Mother Song has been standing under the hall for half an hour, as the sunlight gradually becomes scorching, a pair of old legs are also a little numb, and she can't help sighing, not only is her mind ancient, but even her physique is not as good as before. After yesterday's incident, she knew that she had no chance to continue to do things for the old lady, and today she should only apologize in front of the old lady, and she didn't dare to ask the old lady to see her again...

"Mother Song, old lady, please." Dongmei walked out and said respectfully to Mother Song.

Mother Song felt that her eyes were a little moist, so she stretched out her hand and rubbed it indiscriminately, leaking a smile and hurriedly responding: "Hey, just come." ”

Entering the house, I saw Mrs. Yan sitting on the Luohan bed, leaning over and teasing the goldfish in the white porcelain jar, somehow I would remember that the first time I saw the old lady, she was introduced into the house by the steward of the Ji Mansion for Mrs. Yan's mother, Mrs. Ji, to choose her to marry, and Mrs. Yan, who was still a girl at that time, chose her at a glance and gave her the name "Huaiqiu", seeing her from Ji Mansion to Yan Mansion, from a girl to marrying a wife, and she also went from a first-class maid to a mother in charge of the main courtyard, and spent more than 40 springs and summers by her side...

"Slave Huaiqiu, I've seen the eldest lady." This time it was like it was forty years ago.

Old Madam Yan turned her face and looked at the gray-brown back figure kneeling in front of her with a complicated expression, and in a trance, she also saw the servant girl with a straight back, when did her back also bend? Isn't that the case for you? His mouth opened and closed a few times, but there was some bitterness between his teeth, and he sighed secretly and said to the woman on the ground, "Get up, don't always kneel when you are old..."

"The old lady... I..."

"You're here to bid me farewell." Mrs. Yan said what Mother Song was going to say, but her tone was indifferent, and her eyes did not fall on her mother, and others couldn't see any joy or sorrow for her. She stared at the three silver-tailed goldfish in the white porcelain jar, and found that one of them seemed to be fatter than the two next to her, so she used the bamboo stick in her hand to catch up from time to time.

"Yes..."

"Let's go, Ah Cheng I have already instructed someone to arrange for him to be a companion of the time, I didn't agree to him when he was young, but now he is an adult and can afford a piece of your family, you... Rest assured. ”

Ah Cheng is the grandson of Song's mother. Hearing Mrs. Yan's words, Mother Song only felt that her intestines were full of regret, what was her plan, she actually ruined half of her own life of hard work with her own hands, and now it is still relying on the old lady to remember the old love, so she put Ah Cheng next to the eldest young master.

Mother Song buzzed, but she couldn't say anything else, "Old lady Xie, I still hope that the old lady will take care of her body, and Huaiqiu will retire!" ”

"Hmm." Old Madam Yan seemed to be very focused on the goldfish in the fish tank, and she didn't look at it from beginning to end.

After a long time, there was only the sound of bamboo sticks carrying water in the house, and the slightly chubby silver goldfish was driven by Mrs. Yan to hide under the rockery, and she suddenly felt a little tasteless, she put down the skewers and opened her mouth, "Nian Shuang..."

Zhang's mother replied, "The slave is here." ”

"Go and do as you are told." Since she chose to give her grandson a good future, it means that there is no nostalgia for the side. What about age? It's not that she didn't have mercy, but she gave up on her own, so don't blame her for not caring about her feelings, she will never allow another Song Huaiqiu to appear around her...

"Yes."

Looking at the fish, it seemed that there was no interference from the outside world and swam out again, and Mrs. Yan picked up the bamboo stick again...

Listening to the lotus wash the mud on Man'er's body, and then put on clean clothes, I realized that Man'er was a very iconic little beauty, because I just washed up with her in a word, I couldn't help but joke: "Just now I was a boy when you were a boy, but I didn't expect to be a little girl with good skin after washing." ”

Man'er wrinkled her nose at Tinghe, "Of course, otherwise why would I make so much mud on my face, because of my stunning appearance." After speaking, she raised her head, looking proud, she has been praised since she was a child, and she also knows that she has a good appearance. It's just that in the past, she only thought that those words were good words, but now she is inevitably a little sad when she thinks about it, if she is not good-looking, her mother may not take her in, but it is this appearance that allows her to escape from there, alas...

The first time Tinghe met such a shameless woman, she was only ten years old and called herself "stunning", compared to Yuchen, she was almost inferior, and she didn't know what to say to refute for a while, and said in a daze: "Who taught you to speak?" ”

Man'er came back to her senses and listened to He's sudden question, and thought seriously for a moment: "I've been able to speak since I can remember, what's wrong?" ”

"If I were him, I would have regretted teaching you to speak like this now." Tinghe looked at Man'er seriously and said.

"Are you serious?" Man'er looked at Tinghe in surprise, and saw that her serious appearance was not like a joke, and immediately understood that she really thought so, and it was the first time she was choked up so seriously, and she was a little crazy in her heart, and she didn't know who shouldn't speak! But I thought that the woman in front of me was the young lady's confidant, and if she provoked her, in case she was thrown out again, she still swallowed that sentence back into her stomach.

"Okay, let's go to Manager Li and record a name, let's go."
