Early that morning, the great-daughters-in-law thanked Grandpa.

The children of the family are grateful to Grandma Ma.

Because Grandma Ma said: "If you are studying, I will go back to the school earlier, and I am not allowed to go to the South Compound to find your third aunt." I've found you a master archer, learn it well, and then ride a horse to learn. ”

Erlang, Jinbao, Mi Shou, Garlic Miaozi, and Fuba, more than a dozen little men raised their heads violently.

Song Fuling also opened her mouth in surprise.

Do you know what Grandma's words mean?

Let's put it this way, it's the modern equivalent of: "I hired a personal trainer for you, and I came back to get my driver's license." After taking the driver's license test, one person drives a trolley to school. ”

This time, you will know what horses represented in ancient times.

Song Jinbao asked in a trance: "Milk, are you going to buy a few horses for our brother?" Even if I studied well, I couldn't count on my parents to spend money on it. ”

"That's natural, whoever proposes it, who pays the money," Mrs. Ma said as she didn't raise her head and put a mouthful of mustard shreds in her mouth.

Jin Baoteng stood up suddenly, excitedly left his seat, and began to circle around: "Ahh ”

Garlic seedlings also stood up excitedly, "How many of us have it too?" ”

"Yes, yes."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "No, sister, you listen to me, and do what you said last night, deduct the money for our work, and we will pay for our grandson." If you don't make money, you don't have any place to spend it. ”

However, the voices of these old ladies could no longer be suppressed by the children.

These boys were screaming and shouting for a while, how could they have the heart to eat.

The back simply puffed and knelt on the ground, and a group of half-sized children piled up at Mrs. Ma's feet, Jinbao's happy face flushed and said: "Milk, let your grandson kowtow to you, I won't kowtow to me uncomfortable." ”

Erlang also said: "The second grandson will kowtow to you." ”

Mi Shou was very embarrassed, he was squeezed by his brothers, and Erfu grabbed him in front of him, wearing a kindergarten scholar uniform, and knelt weakly behind him, "Grandson kowtows to you." ”

The dining room was instantly chaotic.

Mrs. Ma laughed, and didn't say anything about letting the children get up, she drank porridge as usual.

I thought: San'er said that he wanted to buy a dancer, what did he buy that.

If you have that money, you can buy it for us.

Our family used to be too good at living, and we lived a very low-key life.

When I had a little money, I thought about saving food, buying mules, and buying a house.

San'er is going to let Zhongyu and them go to buy a boat this time, but who can know?

makes people underestimate their strength.

Look at people in the crack of the door, when you mention it, it is a mud-legged family, there are no rules, counting on the third child to be an official and make a fortune, and there is nothing to do with a maid.

At that time, we thought, no matter what others say, our family is such a style.

Later, she found that it was not good, we had to show our strength first, and if we had the strength not to do that, we would be called by outsiders.

When you don't have the strength, it's bullshit to say anything, people think that you don't have it, so don't you just find an excuse to rub rouge powder on your face.

Therefore, I will not be low-key in the future, and I will not steal or rob.

Let them know that it is not difficult for the prefect's family to live better than anyone else's.

Some strange behaviors of the prefect's family are indeed their habits, not that they can't afford to be broad.

At this moment, his father of the roast chicken in the outer courtyard announced: "Old lady, the owner of the stable and the shopkeeper are here, saying that they are sending you a horse." ”

Mrs. Ma took out a handkerchief from her armpit and wiped her mouth and put it on the table, then stood up, "The one who is, the third daughter-in-law, the fat girl and the second girl, and the ones who have finished eating, all go with me and take a look." ”

At this time, even Song Fusheng didn't eat enough, and he smiled and helped Grandpa Song to follow behind the old lady.

He guessed that the old lady had already bought a car for her daughter, and he still wanted to buy it.

Back door here.

The owner of the stables and the shopkeeper saw the prefect appear, and knelt down in unison to salute.

But the prefect didn't look at them.

In a row, more than a dozen adult horses.

Song Fusheng guessed that the old lady would buy a car for her daughter, but she didn't guess that she would buy so much, didn't the kid in the family learn to ride first and then buy it? Why buy it back now, and then say that it is dangerous to buy such a high adult horse.

Mrs. Ma stood in front of a row of horses and turned around, "Third daughter-in-law, you come." ”

"Mother."

"These two horses, the most expensive, turned around and made a carriage to pull you, and my mother gave you, ah?"

Qian Peiying's mouth was half open.

"Fat girl."

Song Fuling and Song Sumu stepped forward.

"These two white ones are only for the two of you, and the two little girls are just right for this white."

Song Fuling looked at the white and supple horse, and it was estimated that it would cost two hundred taels of silver to buy only these two horses.

Mrs. Ma waved her hand with the gold ring again, pointing to the other maroon horses:

"For the rest, make four more cars for the daughters-in-law of the family to go out and sit, the eldest daughter-in-law, you can use it when you should use it, do you hear? When it's over, there may be two horses left, and those two horses, who go out to run errands and ride. ”

Song Jinbao was anxious, and he didn't have anything to do with them for a long time: "Milk, what about what you said before?" ”

"Don't worry, he's got all the milk, and I'll give you a foal when I get back."

The shopkeeper of the horse market accompanied the smiling face and nodded his testimony: "Yes, yesterday overnight, I passed down the word to find the best foal for the young masters." ”

The men in the family, Grandpa Song, Song Fusheng, and Song Fugui were all stunned.

They thought they were doing big things, so they dared to spend money, but they didn't expect that Mrs. Ma had been deducting and searching for most of her life, and if she didn't make a move, she was more generous than anyone else.

After all, the car is dispensable, and you can get it if you have two at home, not a must.

……

On this day, the well-informed steward knew about the prefect and her mother's purchase of empty stables.

They all sent messages to the inner courtyard, and they sent their daughter-in-law's car and granddaughter's car.

The prefect's family opened a large warehouse, and good timber was continuously transported out.

I heard that I want to find a professional master to customize the carriage, the drawings are from the prefect, for shock absorption, between the floor of the carriage and the axle.

I heard that even the wheels are custom-wrapped in leather and made of bearskin and wolf skin.

On the same day, Mrs. Ma invited a group of old ladies to the house.

Just look, she led these people to visit the furniture that the eldest princess gave her.

She stood next to the imperial plaque given by the emperor, raised her eyebrows slightly, and watched those people salute the imperial plaque.

She sat on the Taishi chair at the front, motioned for everyone to drink tea, and talked to those old ladies about the difference between the Song Jiu people and the next family.

said that she thought that she would be paid attention to as a slightly vulgar mother who had no skills.

said that she thought that there were so many relatives of the Song Jiu clan who were incapable in the eyes of outsiders to borrow light to live with her three sons, and they would be talked about.

These psychological preparations have been made.

It's inevitable.

This is the process from a mud-legged family to an official's family, and there is indeed no background if she doesn't avoid it, but the sudden rise of the emperor's grace will make people blush, and she can accept it.

But she didn't expect that what she thought she could accept calmly and calmly did not happen, what happened was what she said in a black heart.

The old ladies sitting on both sides of the table below didn't know what to say.

In fact, when I came, I knew that it was a Hongmen banquet.

Yesterday, Mrs. Ma broke into Luo's house, Mrs. Luo fell ill, and Luofu invited a medical officer, and they heard about it early in the morning.

After these old ladies returned home, they began to shackle and set rules for their daughters-in-law.

All mothers are afraid of one thing, and they must not affect the future of their parents and children because of their daughter-in-law, which is absolutely intolerable.

Two days later.

Qian Peiying was working in the factory office rented by Nandaemun, when the outer courtyard reported that Mrs. Liu had arrived.

Madame Liu didn't just come by herself, she wore a sable hat and a black cloak and shawl, and she was followed by the ladies of all the provinces except Luofu.

"Look at me, I came without saying hello, did I disturb you?"

Qian Peiying saw those ladies saluting her and motioned for everyone to enter the office.

took the lead in walking in front, held hands with Mrs. Liu and said, "What's the matter, I have always said that I want to invite you to come, and I have always been worried that there are many things in your house." ”

But when everyone sat in the middle of this spacious office, looking at the big office chair and big desk through the bead curtain, it was no worse than a man's house, there were various stamps of different sizes on the table, and the map hung on the wall turned out to be a map, and the map of the distribution of each branch of Maxima, I found that Qian Peiying was really busy.

Maybe they came without saying hello, because they were really disturbed.

Qian Peiying was also very sorry, and she was going to be busy without saying a few words.

Because after Zhongyu set off, Fugui is about to set off again.

This trip is not only to deliver goods to the counties of the old Song Jinshi's friends, but also to buy ships to Qinhuangdao, and Maxima not only needs to be transported by land but also by water.

Fugui came in to ask for money, Mrs. Liu is here, he also wants to come in and ask for it, how can he go if he has no money.

The ladies in the middle heard Qian Peiying ask about the number of silver coins while carding those large and small stamps.

Every question, every snapping sound, made their eyes flash slightly when they lowered their heads and drank tea.

Because they only knew a lot of unfamiliar words after listening to Qian Peiying's question today, it turned out that the nine gates of the capital had to have a passing tax, and other cities had a dam tax, a foot tax, and a merchant ship tax for shipbuilding, and the imperial court had to collect additional taxes for more than 6,000 taels.

The trouble is not how to collect it, but how to collect the additional taxes, and how to levy taxes according to what proportion and value.

Liu Shoubei's wife put down the teacup and picked up the books standing in the small bookcase by the sofa.

Here, the furniture is arranged in a way that is different from theirs, and the ladies feel strange everywhere.

You see, such a small bookcase is placed next to the chair, and it is not actually a separate study.

Mrs. Liu glanced at the book cover "The Beginning of the Tax Regulations", which has a fold, which shows that this book is often read.

I picked up another book, "Household Agreed Rules"

There are many books like this, and it can be seen that I often read them.

And these are things that the women in their house never dabble in.

Through the bead curtain, Fugui and Mrs. Liu made a gentleman's salute before leaving, said hello and left with the list approved by Qian Peiying, and the shopkeeper Niu and the two bookkeepers had to knock on the door and come in.

Qian Peiying is busy, and another tea time has passed.

It's embarrassing for her to show up again, especially since there is Mrs. Liu here, it's just noon, please eat to show your apologies.

If you want to say that Qian Peiying was paid attention to, she herself did not mention it like Mrs. Ma in front of these ladies, as if there was no such thing.

What's the matter, my mother-in-law has made her the decision.

Lao Song, a big man, called his subordinates in for a training session with a "small belly and chicken intestines".

Hehe, she doesn't need to do it herself.

No, Qian Peiying was in the Guangju Xuan, feasting on the wives of the officials under her husband, sitting on the main seat, and answering the most questions about the ladies of the various mansions was what she was busy with every day.

Qian Peiying smiled and compared to the hand wearing the gemstone ring and said:

"I want to party often, really, I envy you.

But at the beginning of the month, I made vouchers, issued statements, tax declarations, and sorted out financial information for my husband to see, so that you Song Governor can file in the official office, and there will be a voucher for the imperial court to audit the accounts in the future.

In the middle of the month, make inspection reports, positive and negative assets, profits and losses, and check the balance.

At the end of the month, I started to make payroll, pay wages, predict and prepare funds for the next month, and go back and forth to the bank. ”

Mrs. Liu wanted to show those ladies today how capable her friend Peiying was.

That's all, it's hard to put it in the man's place.

So, after hearing this, he cooperated and asked, "How many people's wages does Peiying have to manage right now?" ”

Qian Peiying thought for a while, "In terms of households, there are many people in Huining, more than 50,000 households." ”

The ladies present stopped their chopsticks one after another, and there were no maids to serve them at today's dinner, nor did they take their daughters out, all of them were of this age.

Shocked to hear this.

"So much?"

And what Mrs. Liu said was, "What you are doing is a big thing, and it concerns so many people." ”

Qian Peiying also sighed for a while:

"We all know that the common people dare not fight the officials.

I guess that if one day goes down one level and the wrong salary is paid, the people who work will not be silent in their hearts.

Are you saying I'm right?

As soon as I think of the people who have been working day and night, and the wages have not been paid, I have already thought about what to add to the family with every copper plate.

And once they send the wrong silver taels, they don't dare to make a noise, they can only admit that they are dumb and lose, how disappointed they are, I don't dare to relax, I don't want to send even a penny wrong.

That's all I can do to help my husband.

I only hope that the government will take the lead in letting more people in Huanglong have great good deeds to work on, and not be criticized because of the troubles of some accounts. ”

The ladies in the audience couldn't help but nod their heads.

Instead, Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Peiying, you can find a time, and we can do something for the people together." ”

Qian Peiying said yes, she also thought so.

The ladies said, yes, yes, Mrs. Prefect, you and Mrs. Liu are the leaders of our Huanglong women, you must help take the lead, everyone does their best.

On this day's lunch, the atmosphere of the ladies gathering together can be said to be unprecedentedly good.

I thought that the prefect's wife would be more or less dissatisfied with them, but she didn't from beginning to end, which was very unexpected and even more reciprocated.

When Mrs. Luo heard about it later, she regretted not going with her.

She saw the hope that the prefect's wife could open the page.

On the same day, not only Qian Peiying entertained these sudden guests, but Song Fusheng in the official office also received a rare guest in the office.

Master Yan is here.

After Song Fusheng was polite, he asked tentatively, did the children in the family get into trouble?

Master Yan stroked his beard and laughed and talked, he had something to ask for and wanted to see Ling Ai.

Song Fusheng was puzzled: En? It is related to Poria cocos.

After hearing it, I realized that Mi Shou's stinky boy had exposed the ninety-nine mantra.

You must know that in ancient times, you learned little ninety-nine here.

And his Mi Shou is the set of big ninety-nine taught by Poria, which fills in the ancient times of addition, subtraction and division, as well as various arithmetic formulas such as double multiplication.

Mrs. Yan was eager to find talent, and found the official office to see his daughter, and she wanted to publish a book after hearing that.

Song Fuling twisted her eyebrows and looked at her father: "I don't publish a book, so I didn't make it up." ”
