Chapter 89: Helping Mother Share Her Worries
She was very clear about her skills, and she didn't dare to dispense medicine to Gu Mingyuan rampantly, she just wanted to choose some soothing herbs mixed with dried flowers and the like, and make a soothing pillow for Gu Mingyuan.
Regarding Qin Huaiyu's idea, Zhang Chenglin naturally supported it. After all, his original intention was to hope that Gu Mingyuan could get what he wanted.
So with his help to make changes, Qin Huaiyu finally wrote a satisfactory recipe, and happily took it back to prepare medicinal materials to make pillows.
Just before leaving, he was stopped by Zhang Chenglin.
"I'm going to go out for the next two days, and I won't be back until the end of the year. Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you don't have to come over, so you can celebrate the New Year in the house with peace of mind. ”
Hearing Zhang Chenglin's words, Qin Huaiyu was surprised at first, and then nodded in response: "Okay." ”
She was still thinking about the gift to Zhang Chenglin, thought about it, and continued: "When will the master leave? ”
Zhang Chenglin waved his hand and said with a smile: "The old man is not a three-year-old child, where do you need someone to send it, okay, it's not early, you can go back." ”
It was getting dark, and the sun was fading at a visible rate.
Qin Huaiyu nodded, exchanged a few words with Zhang Chenglin, and confirmed that he would not leave until two days, so he planned to send the Boxing gift over tomorrow, and then returned to the Pingyuan Hou Mansion.
When I got home, it was completely dark.
The lanterns on the house are lit up one after another, and a little soft light illuminates the huge courtyard, bringing out a bit of warmth.
Qin Huaiyu went to her mother first as usual.
In the past two days, Zhang Chenglin taught her a set of techniques for massaging acupuncture points, which is suitable for Zhuang Yuelan at the current stage. Originally, he meant to let Qin Huaiyu teach the maid, but Qin Huaiyu refused to fake his hands to others, even if he came back late at night, he had to massage Zhuang Yuelan first.
The same is true today.
When she came, Zhuang Yuelan drank the medicine and was having dinner under the service of the maid, and when she saw her come back, she immediately smiled and beckoned and asked, "Can you eat?"
Qin Huaiyu shook his head, leaned over with a smile and said, "I know that my mother must be eating, so I came here to eat." ”
Seeing a naughty smile on her face, Zhuang Yuelan couldn't help laughing, stretched out her hand and pinched her nose, and said with a smile: "Like a monkey, sit down and eat, don't be poor." ”
Qin Huaiyu responded with a smile, accompanied Zhuang Yuelan to dinner, asked the maids to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and began to massage various acupuncture points for his mother.
Just a casual glance with his eyes, he saw the ledger thrown casually on the table.
Qin Huaiyu pressed her and asked casually, "This is the account book in the shop?"
The account book of the family is with Mrs. Qin, although Zhuang Yuelan is the serious lady of the Hou Mansion, but even when she was not sick before, she didn't bother to fight with the old lady for these small profits, and she has been in charge of the old lady Qin all these years.
And the only thing that can be placed so casually is Zhuang Yuelan's private property.
Zhuang Yuelan was a little drowsy by her, and when she heard this, she raised her eyelids, saw the account book that Qin Huaiyu pointed to, and nodded: "Well, it was sent by the two silk villages on Qianmen Street, and they were sent two days ago, and I just made time to look at it today." ”
What she said is also the truth, seeing that she has entered Layue, and when it comes to the New Year, she needs to do a lot of things every day, and these two Zhuangzi are all henchmen in care, so Zhuang Yuelan asked Zhuang Mama to check it, and she can see it for the last time, so it has been delayed until today.
Originally, Qin Huaiyu just asked casually, but after hearing Zhuang Yuelan's words, he thought a little about it.
Her hand paused slightly, and she continued to use her strength, and said with a smile: "Now that the year is approaching, those shopkeepers should also come to collect the accounts, right?"
Zhuang Yuelan only played with her child, remembering that one was one out, and she still nodded with a smile: "Well, in ten days, those shopkeepers will come over and remit the general ledger, and everyone will have a good New Year." ”
Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu nodded secretly, lowered his head and said coquettishly: "I have seen the accounts of the master after he examined the master in the past two days, and it looks like a ghost. I will also learn a little bit from you when I go back, and I have gained knowledge, and maybe I can help the master. ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Yuelan immediately smiled and said, "A girl with no conscience, with such a heart, why don't you want to help me?"
Qin Huaiyu covered his mouth and smiled: "Why don't I want to help you, isn't this someone sharing your worries?
She said this as a joke, but for a reason.
Although the foundation of Qinghe Zhuangjia is not in the capital, it is the door valve of the family, and Emperor Taizu also took root in the capital when he was in the capital, and later moved to Qinghe. Although people are not here, there are a lot of shops and estates.
In addition, her maternal grandmother is the daughter of the Zhou family of the Empress Dowager, and she has deep roots in Beijing. When my mother got married, my grandmother felt sorry for the youngest daughter to marry far away, and in addition to the gold, silver and jade furniture in those dowries, there were more than ten places in the field shops, which were all good places in the capital for every inch of land.
The Pingyuan Hou Mansion is a family, so naturally he will not deduct the dowry money in the hands of his daughter-in-law, but the old lady Qin is an exception.
In the early years, even if there was a disagreement, she didn't dare. However, three years ago, Qin Yi went on an expedition, and after that, Zhuang Yuelan fell ill, and seeing that her spirit was becoming more and more sluggish day by day, Mrs. Qin made up the idea of her dowry. Only she also wanted face, so she went to a few shops in the name of helping, saying that she could share her worries.
Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but sneer when he thought of this, what a worry, but he just felt that his mother was not in good health, and he wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Hearing her daughter's words, Zhuang Yuelan glanced back at her in surprise, but saw that Qin Huaiyu's face was full of innocent smiles, and she couldn't see anything different.
Her heart moved, and she subconsciously said, "You mean the shops that your grandmother helped me take care of?"
Qin Huaiyu nodded with a smile and said, "Mother won't be reluctant, don't worry, I will never give you Huo Huo's closing luck." ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Yuelan couldn't help but be amused by her, and said: "It's okay, what's the matter if it's closed, it's just a few shops that don't make money, and my mother can still afford to pay for such a little money." ”
She was not false, her mother-in-law wanted to get some benefits from her own hands, Zhuang Yuelan was not in good health at that time, thinking that more things were better than less, and she couldn't take care of her own illness, Qin Huaiyu still had to be taken care of by her elders, so after thinking about it, she gave Mrs. Qin three or four shops.
Although those shops also make money in her hands, they are irrelevant, and the business is not too prosperous, and the important ones who make money are firmly held in their own hands, which are prepared to be left to their children in the future, and no one can touch them.
