Chapter 50: The Steward Opens
Ying Shu was smiling and staying by Mrs. Wang's side, but when she heard this, she was even stunned.
Why are you still dreaming in broad daylight? She pinched herself slightly.
It hurts, it's not a dream.
Ying Shu bounced up violently, waved her hand at Mrs. Wang and said, "Huh? Grandmother, I can't make it, I can't make it. "Hands swaying desperately, like a beckoning cat.
Old Lady Wang stared at Ying Shu carefully, but frowned and said, "What kind of expression are you?" I'm asking you! ”
Ying Shu continued to shake her head like a rattle: "Ancestor...... Grandmother, this ...... This...... I can't, no, how can I be a housekeeper? Isn't this all the wife running the family business? It's that the mother is not good, and the grandmother just mentions it, and no matter how bad it is, it is the grandmother who is the housekeeper, and when the mother understands it, can't you be the housekeeper again? ”
Old Mrs. Wang snorted coldly: "You're afraid of being a dog's brain!" ”
Ying Shu's brain was running rapidly, and after thinking about it, there was only one thought: "Old Mrs. Wang is afraid that she wants to learn some housekeeping things by herself." ”
I only heard Mrs. Wang chattering: "In the past, it was your eldest sister Huan who helped Mrs. take care of the house." In charge of the whole house, although it is hard work, but also learned a lot of things. It's just that although our family is the general manager, the person who has its own housekeeper in each courtyard is your second sister in the Narcissus Pavilion who also learns to be a housekeeper. It's just you, staying in Haoyue Hall, naturally you don't have to be tired, it's just ...... You're getting married, and if you don't know anything, what can you do? ”
Yingshu was moved in her heart that her grandmother was thinking about herself everywhere.
"But......" Yingshu puffed out her cheeks: "Mother also taught me to learn the skills of housekeepers!" I've learned it all. ”
Old Lady Wang glared at Yingshu angrily and scolded: "Something that has no interest!"
Ying Shu stretched out her tongue, jumped on the couch in a round manner, patted Mrs. Wang's back flatteringly, and said softly: "Grandmother is for my good, I know it." It's just that...... It's just grandmother, think about it, even if the eldest lady is wrong, but for so many years, the housekeeper director has no credit and hard work, if the grandmother cuts off the mother's housekeeping power for this matter, others will take the opportunity to say something, none of us can say for sure? ”
Old Mrs. Wang nodded, and finally didn't stare at Ying Shu with her eyes open, but there was obvious sorrow between her words and expressions: "But you also know, if the saints in this palace want to check the accounts of each family, there are so many shortfalls in our family's accounts, which cannot be made up in one or two days." ”
"Grandmother, then you can't teach me how to be a housekeeper! If I were a steward, wouldn't I have ruined all our money? ”
Mrs. Wang glanced at Yingshu: "It's so unproductive, it's not like my Peng Hua's granddaughter." ”
Ying Shu smiled, and the big stone in her heart had fallen to the ground. In this deep mansion compound, no matter how well the Liu family treats him, he is not his biological mother after all, and he must always pay attention to survive better.
Mrs. Wang interrupted Yingshu's small hands and muttered, "You have been careful, your mother, you are not the kind of person who thinks carefully." ”
Ying Shu smiled and said, "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!" ”
Mrs. Wang sighed deeply, very helpless and melancholy.
In the evening, when the matter was exposed in front of Wang Ying, Mrs. Wang and Wang Ying looked at each other, and they were both melancholy for a while.
"Just look, it's a matter of time before the palace wants to check the accounts, and sooner or later the white ministry will come, and the court will have to collect all the money between the white ministry and the court, and now something like this has happened in our family. If His Majesty makes an order tomorrow, then our family ......"
Wang Ying hurriedly knelt down: "It's all because my son is not good, I shouldn't do those things." ”
Mrs. Wang was helpless: "I don't blame you, there are many things in the officialdom, and many things are far from being able to call the shots." If you are too innocent, our family is afraid that it will fall faster. Mrs. Wang squinted at Wang Ying: "Get up." ”
Wang Ying respectfully agreed, only sat down on the side, and asked cautiously, "Mother, what should I do now?" ”
Old Mrs. Wang snorted coldly: "You didn't ask me what to do?" You have to pay for your own wife's insanity. ”
Wang Ying: "......"
After all, Mrs. Wang couldn't bear her son like this, she only stared at her for a long time, and finally relented: "I still have some dowry, counting the previous account, it will be enough to pay 500,000 taels." ”
Wang Ying was shocked, knelt down busily, and said tremblingly: "Mother, how can a child spend his mother's dowry? What can a son do? ”
Mrs. Wang glanced at Wang Ying: "You are my child, no matter what, the dowry will be passed on to you in the future." ”
Wang Ying thanked again and again: "Thank you, mother." ”
"Naturally, I will have to pay it back in the future."
Wang Ying: "...... Naturally. ”
"Only one point, your daughter-in-law ......"
Wang Ying understood: "My son knows." ”
That night, Wang Ying rushed to Haoyue Hall, closed the door, and the husband and wife talked all night. Early in the morning of the second day, when Liu went to ask Mrs. Wang for peace, he personally proposed to hand over the right to manage the inner house, but Mrs. Wang resigned several times, but Liu resigned, saying that he had made Wang's loss of profit, and he would never dare to do it again.
In this way, Mrs. Wang couldn't refuse, "That's it, I'll help you teach your two sisters, and when you are transferred out, I'll teach the two sisters to help you." ”
Liu is like a great enemy, she would rather leave all these things to the old lady than let the people of the Narcissus Pavilion get a little light, when even to the old lady Wang said euphemistically: "Sister Chang'er will get married in a few days, now it's better to rest at home, don't be tired." ”
When the goal was achieved, Mrs. Wang was naturally very satisfied, so she did not forbid Liu.
Liu gritted a mouthful of silver teeth, secretly kept this matter in his heart, and only waited for the limelight to pass in the future before settling the account.
When I returned to Haoyue Hall, I saw Aunt Wang staying there early, and saluted respectfully to the Liu family. Liu knew that Aunt Wang came to see his jokes, so he was even more angry, and before Aunt Wang could speak, he scolded him: "What are you doing here?" Do you want to disgust me? ”
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "What are you talking about, wife?" Sister, isn't this here to thank you for letting Sister Chang'er rest and not be tired! You are really considerate, you know that Sister Chang'er is about to get married, but I am uneasy! They are all sisters, how can they let the three girls work alone? I'm always a little embarrassed, but my wife ......."
Liu was very irritable: "What's so tiring about this?" The housekeeper is a trivial matter, and the marrying is a major matter, why am I so mean? turned around and the second girl married into the princess's mansion, so naturally she was trained by her mother-in-law. ”
Aunt Wang's eyes were dripping in her eyes, and she stepped forward to beat Liu's leg in a pretending to flatter, "Mrs. is really hard." I want the slave to say, "It's good for you to put down all these things and rest." You've worked hard all day, and I feel distressed to watch. Anyway, it's the housekeeper of the three girls, although the three girls are not born to you, but they can be raised under your knees for so long, they will definitely be able to treat you well. ”
This sounds like a compliment, but it is sowing discord everywhere, which means that Yingshu is not Liu's biological child, and this matter will only benefit Yingshu in vain.
As soon as Ying Shu walked outside the door, she heard such a thing, and she frowned, so she couldn't care about it, so she just entered the door and said: "Auntie, what she said is wrong, and it is not appropriate to teach people to listen to it." ”
Aunt Wang stood up very innocently and waved her hand: "Third girl, I didn't say anything!" But if you say you're going to be a housekeeper, that's a glossy thing! ”
Ying Shu snorted coldly, stepped forward to squeeze Aunt Wang away from Liu's side, sat on her foot pedal and beat Liu's back, with a respectful look: "I am an unreasonable and ignorant person, and I rely on my mother to survive in this big house." This time, my mother was tired and wanted to rest, so she said in front of the old lady that she wanted me to be a housekeeper, but I was so stupid that my mother had to worry about eating food, where could I have so many skills to be a housekeeper? I'm afraid that I will have to rely on my mother when the time comes, and my mother will have to worry about it. ”
In ancient mansions, it was important to stand in line. Ying Shu understood the truth of people under the roof better, so her words were not only to show her determination to the Liu family, but also to maintain the status of the Liu family in front of Aunt Wang, the Liu family was not dissatisfied, and her angry eyes changed a lot, and she only smiled and said: "Yes, I am blessed." Sister Shu is a smart person, what am I worried about? ”
Ying Shu said obediently: "This Wang family's inner house, every drink and food is a gift from his wife. Aunt Wang, we all have to serve our mother well, so that our mother has no worries! ”
Aunt Wang smiled very reluctantly, and her face turned into pig liver color in an instant when she failed to provoke, and she went back disgraced.
Ying Shu took a long breath, this kind of life is a bit too exciting.
After Aunt Wang left, Ying Shu knelt down in front of Liu again, and touched the ground with her head: "Mother Xie is promoted and valued, and the daughter will definitely respect her mother well and not let her mother down." ”
Liu originally wanted to help Yingshu up, but after thinking about it, he wanted to put his mother's wife and lady again, so as not to test Yingshu's mind, so he said "oh" with a shelf: "What are our mother and daughter talking about?" What's the difference between your butler and my butler? ”
Ying Shu was very solemn: "My housekeeper is naturally because my mother values it and wants to teach me and guide me behind my back." The daughter is a fool, and she will have to trouble her mother in the future. It's just that my daughter remembers that everything my daughter got today was because her mother took pity on me. I will never be proud in front of you as Aunt Wang said, if my daughter has the slightest disrespect for you, my daughter is not worthy of being a human being. Ying Shu said very sincerely, hugging Liu's thigh and shedding tears.
Liu is not a person who likes to put on a show, and although he has always treated Yingshu as not very sincere, he has accumulated friendship over the years, how can he have eight or nine points of affection. Even though she was so moved that she personally helped Yingshu up, she was crying: "You child, how can you still be so angry with me?" Don't listen to Wang Shun's little to provoke, your mother likes you with her mouth. ”
The mother-daughter relationship is deep and very touching.
