Old Madam Xue nodded, made a decision, and said, "The Jiang family is the eldest daughter-in-law, and she is the daughter of the Xue family, no matter who takes over the heavy responsibility of the housekeeper, they are all carrying the burden for you, and now you can take the initiative to ask for help, which is naturally the best." ”

When Mrs. Xue spoke, she settled the matter.

Xue Jihong didn't dare to say more.

Mrs. Xue said, "That's it for today, go back to the Xue family, all the account books, everything is in the hands of the Wu family, and before the Jiang family takes over, let Mama Qiu help check it." ”

Then he glanced at Wu's family, and said to Jiang Yue with deep meaning, "Your second brother and sister have no credit over the years, and they have also worked hard, if there is something wrong in the accounts, calculate it well, no matter how much is missing, record it and fill it by the official." ”

Wu's face suddenly turned red.

Xue Jihong's momentum was also half lower.

Xue Ling said secretly, Jiang is still old and spicy.

Grandmother is now telling the story, so as not to embarrass her mother when she takes over.

Fill in the vacancies, record in the book, and in the future, with this booklet, at least the second room will not dare to be presumptuous.

Old Madam Xue said again, "You all go back to rest, Jihong stays, I have something to tell you." ”

Xue Ling followed her mother out, and unexpectedly, the chores managed by the second uncle were about to be taken back by her grandmother.

The people in the house had almost retreated, and Mrs. Xue said, "I have discussed with your uncles, and the general affairs in your hands will be taken over by your uncle for the time being, and now the Xue family is an eventful time, and it is not appropriate to have another incident before Ah Ling takes over the position of head of the family." ”

Xue Jihong suddenly soared, "Mother, what do you mean by this?" ”

Mrs. Xue said softly or hardly, "Jihong, you have made a lot of money over the years, and I didn't say anything, how much you and your daughter-in-law have lost in your hands, you will know when you go back and check the accounts." You have a good rest now, and when Ah Ling takes over the position of head of the family, let her decide. ”

Xue Jihong was still a little weak in the end, "Uncle is not young, how many years can he manage?" ”

"Yes, your uncle is old, and he can't manage it for a few years, his house already belongs to the side branch, and the Xue family will still rely on you and Jiman to help Ah Ling in the future, you guys are making too much trouble these days, if you are more restrained, it is not what it is now."

Xue Jihong wanted to say more, but Mrs. Xue didn't want to listen anymore, "I have time to coax your daughter-in-law, teach your son, and there are three months left for the annual witch doctor exam, Ah Yuan has already participated for the second time, you don't want him to participate for the third time!" Let's go down. ”

The matter on the ancestral side of the house is over.

Next.

Old Lady Xue took everyone back to the house.

Because of Xue Yan's physique, Jiang Yue took care of it in the carriage behind.

Mrs. Xue took Xue Ling in a carriage.

The carriage creaked.

Xue Ling sat quietly, and the old lady Xue seemed to be very tired, sitting on a large soft pillow.

Xue Ling remembered the feeling of returning to the Xue family from here in the previous life.

At that time, I had just lost my parents, and it was a time when I was lonely, snuggling up to my grandmother, and all my heart was attached.

Old Lady Xue talked to Xue Ling without a match, "Ah Ling, at the beginning of March after the beginning of the year, it will be the annual witch doctor exam, let me tell you about this exam." ”

Xue Ling had experienced it once, but she still nodded and said, "Grandmother, please speak." ”

"Every year's exam, each of the four major families recommends a judge, a total of four people, regardless of the number of applicants in each family, the number of people who pass each year cannot exceed eight, and this year it is the turn of the Qiu family in Rongcheng to take the exam."

The Qiu family is the mother family of Mrs. Xue.

"The exam lasts for two days, the first day is the paper test, the second day is the witch test, and only those who pass can pass it, and the list will be announced on the third day, if there is any objection, the head of the family can appeal on behalf of the family, if there is no objection, it will be reported to the government, record the roster, and officially become a witch doctor."

Xue Ling listened quietly.

Mrs. Xue said, "Your talent is good, your memory is good, there is no problem with the paper test, but you have never been to the clinic, I am a little worried about the witch test, now that the New Year is approaching, that's it, wait for the New Year." ”

"Okay." Xue Ling replied obediently.

The carriage jolted all the way and finally stopped.

Xue Ling glanced at the familiar alleys, the familiar high walls and green tiles.

Without looking, Xue Ling could also feel a lingering dull atmosphere in this house.

The Xue family is the most mysterious and prestigious house of witch doctors in the land of Gangneung, giving people a sacred and solemn feeling.

At least that's what Xue Ling thought in the past.

Of course, this is also the image of the Xue family in front of the people of Jiangling.

But after she really began to understand, she realized that the dirty thing hidden behind this solemnity was nothing more than the villain's behavior of putting interests first.

The despair of the previous life finally became a kind of transparency with the resurrection of the dead.

Until this moment, standing here, Xue Ling finally felt that the past was in the past.

Now it's a whole new life.

Old Lady Xue took Xue Ling's hand and stepped in.

Jiang Shi took Xue Yan's hand and followed closely behind Old Lady Xue.

Xue Jihong's family, Xue Jiman's family, stepped into the mansion in a mighty way.

In the long corridor, no one said a word, except for the sound of footsteps.

The Xue family gave people a terrifying feeling of silence.

Walking through the corridor, Mrs. Xue said to Xue Ling, "You still live in the old courtyard, and after you become the head of the house, you will move the yard." ”

Xue Ling raised his head.

This courtyard is called Yuemingyuan, and it means that the moon and stars are scarce.

The layout of the interior echoes the tone of the entire house.

Dark, silent.

The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south.

This is the courtyard where Xue Ling's parents got married.

In the previous life, she did not move into the courtyard where the head of the family lived, but stayed here.

Therefore, this courtyard carries the memories of Xue Ling for four years, and when she stepped into the courtyard, she felt an uncontrollable pain in her heart.

It seems that as soon as you look up, you can see the past self, dressed in green clothes, wrapped in old-fashioned colors to wrap the young and bright face.

The youngest witch master, the most dull soul.

At that time, she and the tone of the entire mansion seemed to have blended in.

And now, Xue Ling is unwilling.

Xue Ling raised her head and looked at the sky.

It was also a blue sky, but this piece of sky above the Xue family seemed to be dark.

Not only for her mother and sister, but also for herself, she wanted to break through the shackles and shackles and get out of this house for the first time.

Take to the sky.

The front hall had already burned charcoal, and when I opened the curtain and entered, a warmth came to my face.

The furnishings in the house are simple and elegant.

The girls were silent.

Old Lady Xue walked over, sat down at the top, and said to Xue Ling, "I'm a little tired today, you guys have a good rest, and later, the Jiang family will come to me, and I'll talk to you about the housekeeper." ”
