Suning'er handed over the housekeeper's pair of cards, and was free every day, accompanying Wanniang to let Xilian teach some female red skills in Ningyuan, or to study piano music and chess, which was very comfortable.

Later, Zhao Yuanbai learned about it, and Suninger also persuaded him not to worry about it for the time being.

Zhao Yuanbai saw that she was full of confidence, thinking that she had a way, and she didn't say anything, and by her temperament, she acquiesced to Zhao Pingguang and his wife.

After waiting to send Wan Niang away, the houses in the house seemed to gradually realize some changes, and people began to come over to ask Suning'er about the situation in the house.

The most dissatisfied is the mother of the fourth room.

On this day, Suninger was sitting in the inner hall with her eyes closed, and the mother of the fourth room came in with a pair of daughters in a hurry.

"I said San Lang's daughter-in-law, what are you going to do, your ancestor handed over the housekeeper's cards to you, why did you easily give it to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, don't you know their temperament?"

Su Ning'er slowly instructed the fourth aunt and the two sisters in the fourth room to sit down, and asked the girls to give tea, and said lightly: "The fourth aunt should not be angry, the slave family is pregnant now, I am afraid that it will not be good to take charge of this family again, the father and mother are sympathetic, and want to share some of the burden for the slave family, so that the slave family can be born in the yard and raise the baby with peace of mind." ”

"Ouch, San Lang's daughter-in-law, don't mention them", the fourth master mother said with a sad face:

"What's going on with the two of you lately, Yuan Bai and Yuan Bai don't care about anything all day long, the old lady seems to have disappeared, the monthly money and food and clothing of our four rooms this month are different from the past, and the rewards that those girls should have been deducted, and now the whole house is full of complaints."

"This year is indeed a very critical year for the Zhao Mansion, there are so many shops, markets, and tea gardens, all of which require a large amount of money to invest, and my father and mother probably think that the slave family did not know how to make a living in the past, so they want to open up sources and reduce expenditure, and cut off the little guys to come forward."

Most of the slaves in the Zhao Mansion were bought from the slave market, but the Zhao family has always been very generous to the slaves, so they will also give a certain reward to those who bought them every month, so that they can enjoy the same treatment as the hired slaves, so that the slaves can be more loyal.

It's just that there is no real separation, and the subordinates in the second and fourth rooms also ask for the third room for their monthly expenses, and even the big house will count these accounts into the dividends and take them away at the end of the year every year.

In fact, the old lady did not mention these expenses when he explained them at the beginning, but everyone had already taken this as a habit, and Zhao Yuanbai did not care about it, so it was more natural for each room to be obtained.

The mother of the fourth house was even more angry when she heard Su Ning'er's words, and shouted loudly: "Now the servants in which house will not give some rewards every month, our Zhao family is a big family, how can we not take care of this dignity, your father-in-law and in-laws are not so damaging to the face of the ancestor." ”

Su Ning'er smiled indifferently: "It is not only a reward but also the mind of the housemother, why should the fourth aunt care about these, it is useless for the fourth aunt to say these things to the slave family, presumably the fourth aunt has also heard about it, and now many sisters and elders in the house feel that the slave family is still underqualified, and should not be in charge of this family, if the slave family holds the right cards again, this family may fall apart." ”

"San Lang's daughter-in-law, you don't want to listen to those gossip", the mother of the fourth room said loudly: "You are the old lady's handpick, who dares to disobey you, you should hurry up and get the housekeeper's pair of cards back, according to this, I can't resist the fourth room." ”

"Fourth aunt, let's be more patient, my father and mother are not unreasonable, if you talk to them, they will definitely understand the hard work of the fourth aunt."

Suning'er persuaded the mother of the fourth house with good words, and sent her out of Ningyuan half-coaxing and half-deceiving.

A few days later, the head of the second room came over and asked: "San Lang's daughter-in-law, what kind of trick are you playing, why did you hand over the pair of cards to your father-in-law?" ”

Su Ning'er deliberately straightened her belly, and replied casually: "Could it be that the second uncle also came to ask the slave master for his guilt because the reward and supply of the little servants in the courtyard were deducted?" ”

"Naturally, there are also factors in this layer", Zhao Pingyuan, the head of the second room, said with a cold face and displeasure:

"I'm not so petty, if it's just because of this matter, I won't come to disturb Sanlang's daughter-in-law, but recently your father-in-law has been acting more and more presumptuous, they actually sealed the silver money purchased by the shop, Yuan Bai doesn't know where to go, I went to ask your ancestors, but your ancestors didn't see me because of illness, it's not a way to go on like this, San Lang daughter-in-law, you know, this year we have invested a lot of money in the second room, if there is a deficit, who can be responsible at that time, don't let me go to your father-in-law."

"The second uncle's words are wrong, I heard that there are many brothers and sisters in the second uncle's courtyard who are unwilling to rely on the big tree of the Zhao family and want to divide them, and some people even threaten not to care about the money invested, why should the second uncle increase his sorrow for himself."

"Who, who is so ignorant and arrogant", Zhao Pingyuan listened to Suning'er's words, and immediately became angry, scolding and scolding:

"Ning girl, you don't have to listen to people's nonsense, although I have put some private property outside for your brothers, but everyone understands the truth of prosperity, if the Zhao family is scattered, what good can it do us, the Zhao family has worked hard for several generations, and it must not be lost in the hands of my generation."

Su Ning'er deliberately persuaded lightly: "Second uncle doesn't need to be so alarmist, my father and mother have just taken charge of the family, and it is inevitable that they will stumble with everyone, and familiarity will be on the right track." ”

"Nonsense", Zhao Pingyuan glared angrily and stood up: "Ning girl, I know that there have been some rebel vinegar girls in the second room recently, and they have been entangled with the new evil woman in your third room, and they haven't done anything good, I will clean up the family style when I go back today, this Zhao family, the ancestor believes in you, and I also believe in you, you still have to take charge of the housework again." ”

With that, he rushed out of the yard in a hurry.

After waiting for Zhao Pingyuan to leave, Zhao Yuanbai came out of nowhere, startling Suning'er.

Su Ning'er looked at him in horror, and said angrily: "Husband, you, what are you going to do, Xinshi is in a mess, you still don't go to solve the siege." ”

Zhao Yuanbai bent down and hugged her, and said with a slow smile: "Madam won't let me ask about this matter, so I should naturally find a place to spend a few days of leisure." ”

"I didn't let you ignore business matters", Suninger pouted.

"I know, I know", Zhao Yuanbai glanced at her badly: "Didn't Tao Yunshu think that she could manipulate our Zhao family, I will let her have a good deal with the uncles in each room of our Zhao family." ”

Suning'er stared at him blankly, confused.

Zhao Yuanbai patted her on the shoulder calmly: "Don't worry, your husband is on top of the sky when the sky falls, what are you afraid of." ”
