Chapter Ninety-Seven: Busy
The sunlight shone through the glass window on the small cabinet by the windowsill, and Yang Lihua saw that the photo frame placed on the cabinet was exposed to direct sunlight, so she hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, looked at the portrait on it, and gently rubbed it.

The weather was hot, she pulled her hair in a bun at will without powder, dressed in a cool tulle dress, sat next to the bookcase and looked at Yu Wenwen's portrait, and was a little distracted for a while.
"Auntie, Auntie!"
When the shouts started, Yang Lihua frowned, and after putting the photo frame away, she turned around and saw that her son Yuwen Weihan was looking at her with anticipation.
"Brother Finch, what's the noise? Haven't you said it many times? Don't make loud noises. ”
Yuwen Weihan touched his head when he heard this, and smiled: "Auntie, Ah Ju, they said they wanted to see the child catch..."
"Is Steward Li here?"
"Yes, Steward Li is there for Ah Ju."
Yang Lihua nodded: "Go ahead, be careful, don't hurt your younger brothers and sisters, and don't hurt yourself." ”
Yuwen Weihan said "um", ran out as soon as he slipped away, Yang Lihua sighed helplessly, turned to the bookcase next to him and sat down, his son was at a naughty age, which really made the mother feel uneasy.
She is the concubine of Yuwen Wen, the king of Xiyang, so even if Yuwen Weihan is his biological son, he can only call her "aunt" instead of "A-Niang", because "A-Niang" is the mother-in-law Wei Chi Chifan, this is the sadness of the side room, and the etiquette is so difficult to change.
Yang Lihua gave birth to a son and a daughter with Yuwen Wen, the son Yuwen Weihan is nine years old this year, and the youngest daughter Muniang is nearly five years old this year.
The son-in-law is very good to Yuwen Eying, and the husband's family is also good to Yuwen Eying, Yang Lihua is finally relieved to be a mother, but now what she worries about all day is her son, and her younger brother's son.
Her younger brother Yang Guang has been a monk in Jiankang, leaving two offspring, Yuwen Wimbledon opened up, let her properly arrange these two little guys to be raised elsewhere, as soon as she thought of having four little ones to worry about, Yang Lihua felt a great responsibility and had an unfinished heart.
Princess Wei Chi Chi Fan took her son Yuwen Weicheng to Yecheng to visit relatives, and she was originally going to take her eldest son Yuwen Weihan with her, after all, her mother wanted to treat her son as her own, and it was not enough to just say it and not do it.
But considering the long distance, once Yuwen Weihan has a headache and brain fever, it is easy to attract rumors, so Yu Chi Chifan and Yang Lihua combined, or let him stay in the mansion and help take care of his younger brothers and sisters by the way.
Yu Chi Chi Fan's second son born to Yu Wenwen is nicknamed Ah Ju, the youngest in the family, it is the age of becoming someone else's "little tail", and now he follows the eldest brother Yuwen Weihan around all day long, and plays with the third brother and two sisters with the nickname "Ah Lu".
Several maids made a report outside the door, and then walked in with many account books, one by one in front of Yang Lihua, and now the princess is not in the house when she goes out, so a lot of the work of checking accounts is distributed to Yuzhuyuan (Yang Lihua).
Flipping through the account books, Yang Lihua asked with luck: "Are they all here?" ”
"Back to Yuzhu Courtyard, there are still some of them that have not been brought, and now they are being reviewed in the account room, and after a while, the slave and maid will be sent over."
"Got it, you guys should step back first."
Yang Lihua looked at the account books and only felt a headache, the princess went far away, and it was said that the part of the reconciliation matters managed by her was responsible for her maids, but the stakes were very high, and the princess personally ordered her to review it on her behalf, and this time Yang Lihua's workload increased several times.
The industrial scale of Xiyang Wangfu is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things, and other things are naturally in charge of the shopkeepers and stewards, but the accounts have to be checked by the princesses, after all, money and food must not be sloppy.
Princess Wei Chi Chifan, as the main mother, of course bears more than half of the responsibility, and Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang are not idle, each managing a big stall.
Now Yang Lihua not only doubles her workload, but also has to take care of the little ones, she is busy all day and night, but she feels that time flies, and she even has an illusion, as if Yuwenwen has not been on the expedition for long.
A greeting came from outside the door, and a woman floated in, although she was dressed simply and without gorgeous clothes, she still couldn't hide her graceful figure.
It was Xiao Jiuniang who frowned, she also didn't use powder, she held her hair in a bun at will, and came to Yang Lihua to discuss things with a few account books, the industry under the name of the palace has been busy for more than half a year, and seeing that there are a few more branches in Jiangzhou, there are more and more things to deal with, and Xiao Jiuniang is so busy that it is dark.
As soon as Xiao Jiuniang sat down, she began to pour bitter water, and Yang Lihua asked, "What's the matter, there are not enough people in the account room?" It's only been a few years, huh? ”
"Where is enough, Jiangzhou over there to send someone to settle the account, Nanchang also to send someone to the store to reconcile, Lingbiao's Shixing, Qujiang, Panyu more people to go, now every branch is a person to do the work of two people, in case of which one is sick, no one can stand up."
"Then what should I do, the trainees of the training class are still early to leave the class, and it is not a problem to send them out now."
"So I'm thinking... I want to borrow a few people from you..."
"How can I do that, I don't have enough people here..."
Yang Lihua frowned after listening to Xiao Jiuniang's report, and the two sat on both sides of the bookcase in silence, and finally sighed together.
The industry under the name of Xiyang Wangfu has to check the accounts once a month, but it is impossible to wait until the end of the month to check, so it is necessary to take time to check on weekdays, so as not to know the problem and be exploited by Xiaoxiao.
This kind of workload will be very large, so the royal palace has a lot of manpower, which is responsible for reviewing the accounts of various industries that are constantly sent, but after the review, three people in the backyard have to check it.
Originally, including the princess, the three of them were reluctant to divide their labor, but as a result, the princess Wei Chi Chi went far away, and everything was pressed on Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang, and they had to take care of the little guy, ask about the daily operation of the palace, and be busy all day long.
Reconciliation and taking ideas consume a lot of energy, and there seems to be something to be busy every day from morning to night, which is just the workload after many shopkeepers and stewards are in charge.
When I thought of Yu Wenwen's presence, he dealt with the mountains of official documents in the government office every day, and when he came back, he pinched and met all kinds of guests, made various decisions, and ran to the barracks from time to time, and his energy was breathtaking.
Xiao Jiuniang, who was worried about the lack of manpower, suddenly had an idea: "Or, please Sister Caiyun to help?" ”
"She herself is very busy, and when she was a guest in the house yesterday, she still wanted to borrow someone from me, where can I find a manpower."
The two sighed again, Yang Lihua picked up a big shell on the bookcase as a paperweight, put it in the palm of her hand and looked at it carefully, this is the shell that Yuwenwen picked up from the Panyu seaside, it is the size of a fist, and the pattern is very beautiful.
There are also many large and small shells, which were divided into several parts by Yuwenwen and sent back as gifts for the children, and the little ones loved it when they saw it, and Yang Lihua looked at this shell and thought of Yuwenwen again.
"Alas, I have to hold on no matter what, and it will be good if the princess comes back."
According to her previous letter, she will not leave for Xiyang until her sister and the Son of Heaven are married.
Wei Chi Chi was not there, Yang Lihua temporarily took over the power of the backyard, and it didn't feel bad to be in power, but she was too tired, so she eagerly hoped that the princess would come back quickly and be more relaxed.
And the thing she and Xiao Jiuniang are most concerned about is when will her husband come back?
