There was a crackling sound in Zilan's study, and she was still writing a drawing and painting schedule, and everything she was going to do in the coming year was clearly written, and it was pasted on a board hanging on the wall as a hint.

"Miss, the accounts of the candied fruit shop have been calculated, and the error is not big, it is about the same as in previous years, and it is more than last year's surplus."

"Miss, the account of the shipping has also come out, and it has dropped by more than one percent compared to last year, saying that it is because of the water thieves, and it is suspected that it is the cause of the Cao Gang's run, which needs to be solved urgently."

After Rue Xiang finished speaking, she added a few strokes to the paper and pasted them on the board to make prompts.

"Let people inform my grandfather and uncle, find some retired soldiers as guards, send someone to talk to Cao Bang, ask my grandfather what he means, who is better, and remember to remind me when I go to my grandfather's house tomorrow."

"Miss, don't pick your eyes, eat something and drink saliva."

Mu Xiang brought refreshments.

Zilan raised her head and rubbed her stiff neck, took out a vial and used the spiritual liquid as eye drops into her eyes, soothed her tired and sour eyes, and leaned back on the chair to rest for a while.

"Miss, why are you so busy with the affairs of the school clan, I see that Miss Guifeng and the others are not as hard as you, why are the three old ladies so strict with you, you have to do the homework given by the master from morning to night, and you can't be idle for a moment."

Mu Xiang sighed and felt sorry for her own young lady, but several of them were slaves, and there were still too few places to help.

"You don't understand. With great ability comes great responsibility, and I like it myself and am willing to do it. ”

Zilan opened her eyes, drank saliva, smiled, and took a few snacks to cushion her stomach.

Mu Xiang tilted her head and looked a little confused, but she didn't dare to reply again.

Zilan smiled, "Mu Xiang, you are a big girl now, why do you worry more than them?" ”

Mu Xiang thought for a while and said: "Because I am a big girl, I am the youngest first-class maid, this is not only friendship but also Miss trusts me, I should worry more about thinking more." ”

"That's right, you think it's your responsibility, the same Song family raised me and raised me, you have to know that many official daughters outside can't study, because the family believes that women are virtuous if they are not talented, but my Song family despises this, so my daughter can study.

Do you know how much it costs to hire a female master a year, and how much it costs a year to have these talents in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Let's talk about playing the piano, every few years as the girl grows up, the piano has to be replaced, and an ordinary piano costs dozens of taels of silver.

It's enough for a person with good conditions for a year, and I'm talking about people with good conditions.

Besides, I make perfumes, you know why some people are displaced, because after the disaster, their relatives are sick, they spend all their money, and they have no choice.

Most of the incense is medicinal materials, and if these are ordinary, then the agarwood and sandalwood are very expensive. But because the Song family is good at blending fragrance, I can play with all kinds of medicinal materials at home, how much is this?

A lady like me who has grown up to get married, and the money spent is more than a little bit, and now that I have the ability, why not do it? What's more, the elders have helped me run away from the outside, and I don't have to work too hard, it's just an account.

People must know how to be grateful, know how to drink water and think of the source, no one likes selfish and ungrateful people. ”

Zilan told a few maids these words earnestly, it was her sincere words, and she also wanted to take the opportunity to teach a few girls, after all, they are still young, and the road ahead is still very long, if you want to live with your chest high and raise your head, the first thing is to learn to be a man first.

"The slave and maid understand."

Mu Xiang thought thoughtfully after hearing this, and nodded seriously, obviously listening to it in his heart.

They didn't know that Yang and Song Zhengtian were standing outside the door, so they came to see the child and persuaded her not to work too hard. I didn't expect to hear this.

The husband and wife glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, with extremely proud looks in their eyes, waved their hands gently at Su Xin and Qiong Xin who were guarding the door, and left quietly, without disturbing the children.

Out of the courtyard, Song Zhengtian took the initiative to take Yang's hand and hold it in the palm of his hand, looked at his wife's face with emotion and said with a smile: "Yueqing, thank you for giving birth to two such excellent children for me, being able to marry you is a blessing that my Song Zhengtian cultivated in his previous life." ”

Yang raised his head and smiled very happily, "That is, you don't look at who I am, can the child I give birth to be worse."

Zhengtian I was worried about the children's marriage, and I couldn't let go of this only one thing in my heart. I don't worry about Brother Yan'er's future fame, he is a stable and measured child.

Lan'er has a tough personality but is also stubborn, she doesn't rub sand in her eyes, and I'm only worried about her marriage.

Heaven, do I beg you to do anything? ”

Yang has been holding back some words in her heart for a long time, and she has always wanted to find an opportunity to discuss with her husband.

"You say."

Song Zhengtian lowered his head slightly, a look of surprise crossed his eyes, and he knew what his wife wanted to say.

"If, I mean, if Lan'er doesn't choose a suitable husband one day, I'd rather let her comb her hair, with her ability and ability, she can live a good life, worry-free about food and clothing.

Rather than having a bad time getting married, I would rather her live alone, with money and slaves, which may not be worse than marrying.

If this is the life she wants, although I don't approve of it, I will support my daughter, and I just want the children to be safe and happy.

Also, I want to leave all my dowry to Lan'er, and give the things of the Song family to Brother Yan'er, with Lan'er's ability, our family's property can be more than doubled in less than five years, and Brother Yan will never be short of money, so I want to leave my dowry to my daughter.

As long as the child has property and money in his hand, he can also regress in the future and have a room. ”

Yang values her children more than her own life, even more than her husband's love, and after years of thinking and seeing her daughter's ability, she made this decision.

Song Zhengtian took his wife's hand and patted it, "I don't have a problem with this as a dowry, but the matter of marrying can be discussed."

I can promise you that if Lan'er has a bad day one day, even if she has a grudge, I will definitely take my daughter home.

I will make arrangements for my daughter before I am a hundred years old, even if my son, daughter-in-law and nephew will change their minds because of the passage of time and will not tolerate Lan'er, I will arrange everything for her, and she will not be looked down upon.

The two children are my eyeballs, they are my treasures, I will not favor one over the other, I have already prepared the dowry for Lan'er, there is still time, I still want to add some more shops and the like.

As for the candidate, I will consider it at my discretion and fight for her best interests, and I will not let people sacrifice my daughter's interests to fulfill them.

Over the years, I have been so generous in supporting the clan affairs, donating money and materials, and doing everything I can to provide for the sons and daughters of the clan, for the sake of our children, otherwise I don't have to take so much at all, and no one will say a word about donating as much as others.

Qing'er, you have to trust me, they are also my own birth, and I love them no less than you. ”
