In this way, in Xie Jin's words and smiles, Second Mrs. Xie began to take charge of the Xie family's expenses.

Naturally, there are a few happy and a few sad

Mrs. Xie angrily put down the bird's nest cup in her hand and said angrily: "What is this, the taste is so light, isn't it that you girls drank it secretly and mixed it with water?" ”

Seeing Mrs. Xie's angry appearance, the maids immediately knelt down and said, "Wronged, old lady, the slaves and maids are wronged." This is all taken from the large kitchen as is customary. The slaves and maidservants would not dare to steal food. ”

Mrs. Xie looked at the appearance of a few girls kowtowing in a panic, and she believed it in her heart, after all, she had been following her for some years, and they had all decocted the precious medicinal materials on time, and they didn't dare to slack off for half a point, but it was just a bird's nest, and they wouldn't let these girls eat it secretly.

"Then tell me what's going on." When Mrs. Xie saw the bird's nest cup that was as light as water, her anger surged up again.

"Back to the old lady, a few of us don't know. I just heard from the people in the kitchen that this batch of bird's nest was bought by the second lady from a friend, which not only saved a lot of household money for the house, but also generously rewarded a few capable subordinates. ”

"Peng ......" Hearing this, Mrs. Xie was furious, and said in a slightly sharp voice: "How can those subordinates deserve to eat the same thing as me." ”

Looking at the trembling maids, Mrs. Xie said, "Idiot, I have to teach you all this thing." Why don't you go to the storeroom and choose a good blood swallow to stew. ”

"Yes, the maids immediately asked and retreated, for fear of angering Mrs. Xie."

On the other hand, Second Lady Xie's mansion was indeed jubilant.

Second Mrs. Xie was patiently looking at the account books in the house.

The monthly money of each party, the amount of each yard owner.

Suddenly, Second Lady Xie's originally happy expression became solemn.

In order to prevent yourself from reading it wrong. Second Mrs. Xie checked it carefully, only to find that Xu Ping'er's mother's expenses were completely unsuitable for a living relative.

And the clothes and jewelry are even more gorgeous and abnormal.

The amount of rouge gouache is also really strange.

Second Lady Xie bowed her head and fell into a deep sense of loss.

It seems that this Xie Fu's account book still needs to be checked carefully.

At the same time, with a stroke of the pen, Mrs. Xie reduced the amount of money available for the two of them in their daily expenses.

If Xu Ping'er knew about this decision, she might not know how to curse Second Mrs. Xie in her heart.

Originally, Second Mrs. Xie also wanted to save the money that Fu Shi had recuperated during her illness, but Xie Jin knew about it.

Xie Jin looked at Second Mrs. Xie and said with the same look in her eyes as always: "Second Auntie, it is a good habit to learn to be diligent and thrifty, but it also depends on where it is used. Since the power of this master can be given, it will naturally be recovered. The second aunt should figure it out for herself. ”

Since then, Second Mrs. Xie has been more than heart, but not enough. As long as Xie Jin was at home, he didn't dare to speak loudly to the Fu family, let alone put forward any special opinions about Xie Jin. However, Second Mrs. Xie has checked, and those are all the effects of Fu's dowry subsidies.

Finally, the new official took office three times, and the resolute actions of Second Mrs. Xie made the entire mansion know that she is the current leader of the Xie mansion.

However, in order to show respect for the Fu family and take into account the overall situation, the second lady Xie also came to the Fu family's courtyard from time to time to send some of the most fashionable vegetables and fruits, and discussed the experience of the housekeeper with the two.
