Old Madam Qiao said worriedly: "Since it is a place for nobles to fight, how can the fourth child conclude that the master followed by the Wang family can succeed?" ”

"Mother, the Wang family is followed by the third prince, the son of Cao Guifei, the emperor's favorite son."

Old Madam Qiao didn't know anything about the capital, let alone the court.

Xue Tao explained: "Cao Guifei is the emperor's favorite concubine, and she has been dominant in the harem in recent years, especially in recent years, after the queen is sick in bed, Cao Guifei will take charge of the wind seal on behalf of the queen, and her words are equivalent to the queen's will." It is rumored that the reason why the emperor did not appoint a prince was that he wanted to wait for the three princes to make a career and then make an order after they had the reputation and achievements to serve the public. After all, if the eldest prince born to the queen occupies the eldest prince and appoints the third prince as the crown prince, the conservative ministers of the court may have objections. ”

Old Madam Qiao nodded thoughtfully.

"Mother, these things, the daughter-in-law doesn't understand much, the lord only revealed a tone in front of the daughter-in-law, how to do it, you have to wait for the lord and the nobles to come into contact with the nobles to know. The lord asked his daughter-in-law to tell you this, just to let the mother have a number in her heart. This period of time is a critical time, the more low-key the Qiao family, the better, taking advantage of the absence of the long house, we plan well, the dead girl doesn't understand anything, we don't fight with the dead girl for the time being, it's good for us. ”

"Cheap her!" Don't look for Qiao Yixi's stubble, Old Mrs. Qiao always feels uncomfortable.

Compared with these, the future of the four rooms and the future of the Qiao family are important.

If she becomes the helper of the nobles, San'er will enter the eyes of the nobles again, and she really can't look down on the Qiao family's current family business.

But you can't afford to buy a long house.

"Mother, I've wronged you, when the matter of the master is settled, don't say a Qiao Lixi, it's those in the long room, it's not a word from a nobleman."

That's right.

How can the powerless and powerless people fight with the nobles?

If the nobles think that their four rooms are useful, the Qiao family is useful, and those occupied by the long room, the nobles can return to the hands of the four rooms with a word.

"Okay, I know, don't worry, I'm measured."

Xue Tao sneered and said embarrassedly: "Mother, now the master is at a critical time, you also know how much income we have in the four rooms, the noble person comes, and the master wants to follow the noble person to do things, so ...... Therefore, we are afraid that the silver in the public will be subsidized...... Limited. ”

Old Madam Qiao looked at Xue Tao inscrutablely.

Although Xue Tao said it very tactfully, she still understood what Xue Tao meant.

Doesn't that mean that if she wants to make up for Qiao Linzi in the future, she has to take out her own silver, and the silver in the fourth room is to be kept for big things.

"Did the fourth child tell you to tell me that?"

Xue Tao was frightened, "Mother, it is indeed what the master meant, now is the critical moment, what position we can occupy by the nobleman's side depends on what we can come up with to make the nobleman's heart." What the master means is to temporarily wronged everyone, and when the fourth room replaces the long room, what is the silver, identity and power are the most important, and at that time, the Li family will not look at the face of the sister-in-law? With the way, my sister-in-law is still nervous about those few silvers? ”

Old Madam Qiao stared at Xue Tao gloomily.

Just when the smile on the latter's face was almost unbearable, he said gloomily: "Qiao Linzi is the daughter of the Qiao family, no matter who she marries, she is the daughter of the Qiao family and the master of the Qiao family, I hope you remember this." ”

"Yes, mother." Xue Tao wisely didn't refute, as for what she thought in her heart, only she knew.

Old Madam Qiao was unforgiving in her mouth, but she was still biased towards Fourth Master Qiao in her heart.

This is a major event related to the fourth room and the Qiao family, and the temporary patience is not only glorious and rich, but also superior.

So, regarding the arrangement of Qiao's family feed, Mrs. Qiao and Xue Tao rarely reached an agreement.

The part of the feed that the Qiao family extracts from the income every quarter is equivalent to the amount of chewing and entertainment for some people in the circle for a year, otherwise, where will Mrs. Qiao get the extra silver to supplement Qiao Linzi and put it into her own small treasury?

Therefore, as long as she doesn't indulge Qiao Linzi, the silver is enough to support the Qiao family's eating, drinking, and Lazar.

……

Qiao Linzi returned to Li's house triumphantly, and when she heard the report from her grandmother beside Mrs. Li, she went to Mrs. Li's yard after a little repair.

Old man Li looks mean, and he is also a good person, and his relationship with Qiao Linzi is quite passable.

The Li family and the Qiao family are world friends, and when the Li family was developed, the Qiao family was just starting, and she couldn't look down on the Qiao family.

But Old Man Li and Old Man Qiao are good friends, the two often drink and eat tea together, she is a woman, but asking the men about things outside, just out of politeness, and Old Mrs. Qiao walks around more.

Old Madam Li is a strong person, so she doesn't like the equally strong Old Madam Qiao.

At first, she still had a great sense of superiority in front of Mrs. Qiao, but Old Man Qiao knew how to do business, and gave birth to a son who was even better at business, and gradually, her sense of superiority in front of Mrs. Qiao disappeared.

Qiao Linzi is also considered to have grown up with her, so when it came to the relationship between the two children, emotionally speaking, she was not happy, and in terms of interests, this is undoubtedly a good family affair.

Fortunately, Qiao Linzi entered the door of the Li family, and after three years of hugging the two, the eldest grandson and the youngest grandson are outstanding figures among their peers, one is learning to take care of the family business, and the other is taking a career path, and the Li family has become the envy of everyone in the circle.

Coupled with Qiao Linzi's pulling some things back from Qiao's house from time to time, overall, she was still satisfied.

But last time, Qiao Linzi not only returned those things, but even took away those that were placed in her yard, and the only good impression she had for Qiao Linzi completely disappeared.

To put it nicely, it was Qiao Lixi's dead girl who was a demon and forced Qiao Linzi to return the things, according to her, it was just Qiao Linzi who borrowed Qiao Lixi's hand and gave her a dismount.

The most hateful thing is that her son is actually standing next to that slut!

This is the last thing she can tolerate!

He never dared to disobey her son, and actually slapped her in the face for a slut!

Like all mothers-in-law, Mrs. Li has always thought that her son is a good one, and it is this woman's fault that she has brought her son badly.

Putting down the teacup, Old Madam Li finally glanced at the person opposite.

Kitsune!

Mrs. Li looked at Qiao Linzi unpleasantly, and she could always find fault with her, that is, the smile in the corner of her eyes, in the eyes of Mrs. Li, she was also charming, and she didn't know who she seduced outside!

"Brother Rui'er will be back tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, mother, Brother Rui said before leaving, and he will be able to enter the city tomorrow evening, but he will have to go to the 'Meal World' with his classmates to have dinner before coming back."

The better the "Meal World" business, the more she earns.

"It's time to move around more with your classmates, these people will also be his help in the court in the future," Mrs. Li nodded with satisfaction, and changed her words, "This month, the treasury has been counted?" ”

Qiao Linzi was shocked, but said inconspicuously: "Mother, over there in the warehouse, the daughter-in-law has not yet taken inventory, and the master is buying medicinal materials outside, and the daughter-in-law is thinking that when the new medicinal materials come back, she will take inventory when they are in the warehouse." ”

"How's that going to work?" Mrs. Li was obviously unwilling, "There are so many goods in and out of the warehouse every day, although there are records, but there are too many accounts, and the people below are easy to cheat." I'm afraid that the old man will have to delay for a few days, and last month's account is last month's, and it has nothing to do with this batch of medicinal materials. ”

"Mother......" Qiao Linzi looked restrained when she had done something wrong.

The more Mrs. Li looked at it, the more angry she became.

She couldn't see Qiao Linzi's appearance the most, as if someone had harshly treated her, but her son still ate this set the most, as long as this vixen made this appearance, her son would be obedient to her.

Seeing her high-spirited son curry favor in front of a woman, she couldn't get angry!

Holding back the anger in her chest, Old Madam Li said sharply: "On weekdays, you all know that small accounts are settled once a month, and big accounts are settled once a quarter, what is going on this time." ”

"It's the daughter-in-law who is negligent, and the daughter-in-law wants to wait for the grandfather to come back, and do the old and new accounts together, too...... Convenient. ”

"Nonsense! You are the head of the Li family, before leaving the cabinet, you are also in charge of the accounts in your mother's house, knowing that this kind of new and old accounts are done together, it is easiest to do tricks and feet in the account book, some are lazy and can steal, but some can't! "Mrs. Li is used to being strong, and she is not only stern, but also very old-fashioned.

However, it is precisely because of her old-fashionedness that the Li family has not had a business trip in the past few years, and there has been no mistake in the account book.

Mrs. Li didn't want to let go of the rare opportunity to take Qiao Linzi, "Whether it's the business account book or the account book in the backyard, how to settle it, otherwise, it will only become a confused account, so that the people below can find an opportunity to fake the public and private interests or small, I am afraid that the hole will get bigger and bigger, let alone fill it when the time comes, even if it can't be blocked." ”

"That's what my mother said."

"It's just right, I'm fine today, go to the warehouse, and the two of us will reconcile the accounts together."

Qiao Linzi's hands and feet suddenly became cold.

The medicinal materials in the warehouse, which can be used, have been moved by her, although there is no registration in the ledger, you can be an old pious woman, you will definitely check in the warehouse, if the things in it do not match the booklet, then ......

Don't dare to think deeply.

"What's wrong, there's a problem?" Seeing that Qiao Linzi didn't move for a long time, Old Madam Li's shrewd gaze poked directly at her.

"It's so late, and my daughter-in-law is worried that you won't be able to stay up, so if you don't wait for tomorrow morning, your daughter-in-law will ask the account office to bring you the account book."

"I said now, right now, why are you doing so many things, pushing back and obstructing, have you done anything to be sorry for the Li family?"

"Mother, what are you talking about, haven't you seen all the things your daughter-in-law has done over the years? The daughter-in-law is worthy of the sky, the earth, and the Li family. The daughter-in-law is worried about your body, and the daughter-in-law has nothing to be afraid of. ”

"I just said something to you, what do you want to do crying? Put away your horse urine, you don't know, you think I'm treating you badly. ”

Qiao Linzi hurriedly wiped away her tears and knelt on the ground with a cower.
