Chapter 7: Grandmother's Thoughts
Ji Yanning didn't know what this old lady was about, she only knew that it wouldn't be for the good of their sisters and brothers.
From the moment she and Ji Lang entered the door, the old lady's dislike for them was obvious, knowing that she was just in the right body, she didn't ask a few more words, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she shared their sister and brother, and also took the business of this big house to the second room. In that case, why should Ji Yanning be too polite to her?
"You...... What are you talking about?" The old lady stood up from her position suddenly, pointed at Ji Yanning with her finger, and said angrily, "I can't control you if I split up!"
The lobby was silent, and everyone was shocked by her scolding.
This old lady is really a grumpy.
Ji Yanning is not afraid of her, she has seen many grumpy people in her previous life, compared to it, what if the old lady in front of her is angry?
She looked at the old lady and said, "Naturally, it can be managed, but the granddaughter thinks about her grandmother and hopes that her grandmother doesn't have to worry too much." ”
"You!" was said by her high-sounding words, and the old lady stood up angrily.
The second lady Wei Shi looked at the situation, and hurriedly came out and said: "Mother, don't be angry, Yan Ning is just talking, where can I disobey your intentions." ”
She said it skillfully, if Ji Yanning did not agree with the old lady's approach, it would be disobedience to the elders and unfilial piety.
Ji Yanning sneered in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
The third lady on the side thought carefully in her heart, the old lady was really biased, which means that the second room supports Ji Lang, and even the business affairs are taken over by the second room, so they will not be able to get any benefits from the third room.
Li Shi didn't have a good face when he thought of this, and said: "Yan Ning and Lang'er are the masters of the big house, so you have to listen to their opinions no matter what you say." ”
The old lady snorted angrily: "It's just two children, what can you say." ”
Ji Yanning glanced at the Li family and said: "Naturally, there is an opinion, the old lady acts like this, I don't know if I think it was the second uncle's family who took advantage of our sister and brother's young age to take the opportunity to seize the property, which is not good for the reputation of the second uncle." ”
Her second uncle Ji Yuansheng is the chief secretary of Jizhou Mansion, and his official position is from Wupin, and he is the son that Mrs. Ji values the most, he has been in Jizhou for almost six years, and he is expected to be transferred to Chang'an this year. The most important reputation in the career is that if something goes wrong again, I'm afraid it will take another three years!
Hearing Ji Yanning say this, the old lady and Wei's faces froze, and their eyes became resentful.
Webster said: "It is natural for an aunt to take care of her nephew, so how can we have this idea?"
"I know that the second aunt is kind, but outsiders don't see it that way, if it is spread by someone with a heart, I don't know how to criticize the second uncle!" Ji Yanning said, looking worried about them.
Wei Shi looked at Ji Yanning's cunning gaze, and her heart was panicked, she knew that if she dared to take the business of this big house now, Ji Yanning would dare to go around talking nonsense and slandering Ji Yuansheng's reputation!
This cheap girl should have killed her in the first place! Webster secretly hated in his heart.
The old lady said, "Since this is the case, then I will divide some for the Li family to take care of." ”
A mocking smile appeared on Li's face, and now he remembered the three rooms of them.
"It's not easy for the third uncle to be a long history, Yan Ning still don't drag down the two uncles. It's just that before the Li family could speak, Ji Yanning had already spoken, "My granddaughter still has something to do, come over next time to say hello to my grandmother." ”
After she finished speaking, she bowed to the old lady, then turned and walked straight out of the lobby.
When Ji Lang saw that his sister was gone, he also saluted the old lady and said, "Lang'er went back to Wen Shu." ”
Seeing the sister and brother ignoring her like this, the old lady's anger suddenly surged into her heart, picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it towards the door!
Everyone in the room was frightened.
"It's really lawless!" said the old lady angrily, "bring them back to the ancestral hall!
Ji Yanning and Ji Lang hadn't gone far yet, when they heard the old lady's unscrupulous abuse, they suddenly stepped down, but Ji Yanning still left with Ji Lang without looking back.
Wei stepped forward and persuaded: "Mother, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry, if you punish them to kneel in the ancestral hall, I don't know how harsh we think we are to punish them!"
"Evil...... the old lady shook her head and sighed bitterly, "Why did the Ji family have such unscrupulous descendants!"
Li said on the side: "In the end, Yan Ning and Lang'er are just children, if no one teaches them, how can they do such a hurtful thing." ”
The old lady and Wei Shi listened to Li's words and felt that it was not unreasonable, with Ji Yanning's brain, how could they resist their approach like this.
Now most of the affairs of the big house are taken care of by Wu Geng, who else can sow discord in front of this sister and brother?
Thinking of this, the old lady's face darkened even more.
Ji Yanning returned to the study of the big room, and Steward Wu was already waiting.
She stepped into the room and saw the thick ledgers on the desk.
"Miss, this is the account book of Baochang Ji, and there are some sorted out shop properties, which are also all the property left by the lord and his wife. Steward Wu said to Ji Yanning.
Ji Yanning bowed, it seems that Steward Wu has already liquidated these things.
"Although Miss Yu is concerned, the old slave is an outsider, but there are some things that the old slave has to say a few more words. Steward Wu said, "These things and property are the things that the master has worked hard to get, and he is for the future life of the eldest lady and the sixth young master, so please don't give these things to others easily." ”
He spoke extremely seriously and spoke earnestly, perhaps because he knew that the people of the Ji family did not have any good intentions.
Ji Yanning frowned slightly, and looked at him a little: "But grandmother said that I would leave all this to the second aunt to take care of." ”
Steward Wu said, "Miss can learn to deal with business matters by herself." ”
Ji Yanning chuckled and said, "Then I'll bother Uncle Wu to teach me." ”
She picked up the ledger at the top and began to read it, in her previous life, she naturally learned how to manage the house, how to read the accounts, and her mother had also given her several medicinal herb shops to learn to take care of, so she was no stranger to these. And with Steward Wu on the side, she quickly took a cursory look at one of the account books, and then picked up another one.
It's just that the more I look at her, the more solemn it becomes.
This Ji family's big house is richer than she imagined, Baochang Ji is mainly engaged in the silk business, and there are some other industries under his name, this business is not only in the Jiangnan area, but also in the north and southwest, and it seems that the operation is very extensive.
It's just that Ji Yanning was puzzled, she remembered that Ziyu once said that when the old lady died and the three brothers of the Ji family separated, Ji Tingsheng didn't get anything at all, only food and clothing.
What made Ji Tingsheng fight for such a big family business in less than ten years?
