Jin Ran listened to Qi's words and responded with a smile: "But it looks good on the face." It's all my mother's work. She has the best skill in training her subordinates. ”

Jin Ran smiled lightly at Zhang Qi, and her voice carried a slight comfort: "When you get engaged, your grandmother and her old man will definitely call you housekeeper." My mother learned everything from my grandmother. It will be good for you and your grandmother to learn more. ”

When Zhang Qi came, he heard his mother tell him that this Jin Ran has now become the county lord, and he is in charge of the county lord's mansion of one hundred and ten people, although Jin Ran is less than sixteen years old, but she is in charge of the county lord's mansion of one hundred and ten people.

It is said that the county lord's mansion is also well managed, and there are few rumors about the unruly county lord's mansion. Although Zhang Zi often said something when other girls discussed Jinran, it was just the rules of those subordinates and had nothing to do with Sheng Jinran, but Zhang Qi felt in his heart that what Zhang Zi said was wrong.

Take today's situation, Jin Ran said that her mother is in charge of the house. But from the form of these people, Zhang Qi can still see the respect for his own young lady.

Moreover, if there is a mother, there must be a daughter. Zhang's means are not bad, and that Jinran must also have its advantages.

At least in terms of housekeeping, Jin Ran is better than many ladies of the Zhang family. Zhang Qi knows that the Zhang family now has several rooms in the main house, and the battle between the first and second rooms is the most intense.

Su Rili's mother and his second aunt fought for the power of the family, how could they still have the time to teach themselves how to manage the house? And the best way for ladies to learn the art of housekeeping is to be a real housekeeper, not just a butler.

At first glance, the housekeeper will inevitably have all kinds of mistakes, Zhang Qi's mother does not dare to teach her daughter casually, she is afraid that if Zhang Qi goes wrong, let the second lady of the Zhang family catch the mistake, and then clean up the Zhang family's big house.

So Zhang Qi's mother just took Zhang Qi with her from time to time, which made her have an impression of the housekeeper in her heart, and she didn't dare to let Zhang Qi do it.

The Zhang family's big house is still in such a situation, and the second room of the Zhang family is also unable to discipline his own young lady because of the fight with the Zhang family's big house, and Zhang Zi will not do anything.

The head of the Zhang family is such a way of upbringing the young lady, how much profit can the Zhang family's division have?

It's just that it's not short of his daughter's eating and drinking fat powder, and they don't have any brains one by one, and they don't know anything about the family. When they first arrived at the Sheng family, their performance was understandable.

But the Sheng family is different. Originally, the Sheng family also had two rooms, but the Sheng family's big house was simply separated from the Sheng family's second room, and now the two rooms do not live together, so there is really no connection.

The Sheng family is now the housekeeper of the Zhang family, and occasionally the old lady of the Sheng family will come out of the cultivation hall to help, but she will never cross the line, and the stewardship of the big head is still in the hands of the Zhang family. Therefore, the Zhang family has a lot of time to train Jinran well.

Moreover, Jin Ran also housed himself for a long time in his previous life and had a lot of experience. She herself is also smart and clever, and under the intentional cultivation of the Zhang family, she manages her county lord's mansion in an orderly manner.

In Zhang Qi's eyes, how could it not be that she was sour in her heart?

Zhang Qi is 16 years old this year, which is not a small age. Nowadays, the daughters of many powerful families in the Chinese Dynasty are engaged very early, and some are already married at the age of Zhang Qi.

Just like Jin Ran, she is less than sixteen years old this year, and she was already engaged by the emperor at the age of fifteen and became the fiancée of General Zhengyipin, which can be said to have an excellent family business.

And ...... for yourself Zhang Qi felt uncomfortable when he thought of this.

Zhang Qi's mother didn't look for relatives for Zhang Qi, but they were all destroyed by the second lady of the Zhang family. For the rest, the conditions are really not good. Zhang Qi himself was not satisfied, so he dragged it down after going back and forth.

Zhang Qi is not like Zhang Zi, who deliberately did not say his relatives just to wait for the draft to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine. In her heart, she actually wants to marry someone she likes as soon as possible.

But...... The Zhang family's current power is unable to give itself a good home. Zhang Qi had some mixed feelings in his heart.

If she was born in the Sheng family, where could she not find a good family? As soon as you open your mouth at that time, the talented and handsome people in the capital can't help but choose at will? But Zhang Qi is not the daughter of the Sheng family after all, she is just the daughter of the Zhang family's unfavored big house, so she can only plan by herself.

No matter how Zhang Qi turned over the river and the sea in his heart, he still couldn't show half a point on his face: "I have been looking forward to such a day for a long time." Zhang Qi continued to lower his voice and said: "I don't want Sister Zhang Zi to always want to enter the palace as a concubine, I just expect to be released from the palace by the emperor and give me a marriage." ”

Jin Ran was a little surprised: "That'...... Do your aunts and uncles agree with you? She looked at her eldest aunt today, no matter how she looked at it, she was full of ambition and planned to let her daughter enter the palace and plan for the Zhang family's big house.

Zhang Qi smiled bitterly: "My parents...... They haven't had a good time since they learned about the draft. I...... I'm just a little girl, so where can I say no? I eat theirs and wear theirs, and I don't do what they tell me to do? ”

Zhang Qi's words were extremely sad, Jin Ran had a good relationship with her, and when she saw her look so wronged, she was also soft-hearted, Jin Ran sighed: "In any case, you can also talk to your uncles, and you don't have to be a concubine when you marry into an official eunuch." ”

Recently, the Zhang family's eldest house has gradually shown fatigue in the battle with the Zhang family's second room, and Jinran's eldest uncle is now a little unscrupulous. Even his daughter's lifelong happiness had to be used, and he forced Zhang Qi to enter the palace.

Zhang Qi shook her head silently, if she could say that she had said it a long time ago, why wait until now. She looked at Jin Ran, who was also worried about herself, and smiled: "It's okay, Ran'er, you don't have to worry about me, it's too early to say this." I might not be able to choose it at all. Then I can go home and marry again. ”

Jin Ran is still a little worried, Zhang Qi's temperament is extremely outstanding, and he has a graceful and indifferent style. Usually when she doesn't speak, as long as she sits quietly on the chair, she is like a very beautiful lady, which makes people unable not to be moved.

Besides, the current emperor is an extremely beautiful person. It can be seen from his unscrupulous inclusion of He Luoyi in the palace.

Jin Ran rubbed Zhang Qi's white and tender face with some worry, and secretly decided in his heart that he must cut a few more dresses for Zhang Qi that did not show her figure and were not very good-looking, at least to cover her.

The two little sisters here were whispering, while on the other hand, the Zhang family chatted with Mrs. Zhang about the rules of the draft. Zhang smiled and packed the ticket: "I don't know anything else." But this time in the draft, the dresses and hairpins of the girls of the Zhang family are all prepared by me. ”

The second lady of the Zhang family was happy, her money in the house was a little unlucky, and this Zhang family jumped out by herself, she was naturally happy.

But Mrs. Zhang took the lead and rejected Zhang's kindness: "Where is this? It's just a few sets of clothes. Can you still let your married aunt and grandmother pay for it? How much can each of their children wear? It's just that I'll wrap it up. ”

Zhang shook his head: "Mother, you don't know. I'm a useless sister. A few days ago, I partnered with Concubine Fang and Princess Ming'an to open a few hairpin ring shops and ready-to-wear silk shops, specializing in some draft specifications. It's selling well now. ”

Zhang brought a bowl of tea to Mrs. Zhang, who could listen attentively: "I didn't care about her before, let her do it according to her temperament." Now I look at it coldly, but she is doing well, and some of her clothes are also decent. Now that the draft is not long in coming, it is too late for you to order someone to make some decent dresses again, mother. However, there are enough people here. It's better to let her do it, and follow the girl of our Zhang family first. ”

Jin Ran also hurriedly came out to respond to his mother: "Yes, grandmother." My shop has enough for everything now. Don't worry about what's going to get in my way. When I come back, I will find a few embroidery girls to go to the house to tailor the clothes for my sisters and sisters, and I will save you from being busy at that time. After all, the shops in Kyoto are also very busy because of this draft, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to find suitable tailors and embroiderers. ”

Mrs. Zhang was moved to hear this, she originally planned to borrow the Sheng family's embroidery. But I didn't expect that the girls from the Zhang family's branch family also followed one by one, and the number of embroidery girls in the Sheng family was also limited, so it was impossible to make seven or eight young ladies' clothes in just a few days.

Old Madam Zhang agreed after a little consideration in her heart, and she smiled slightly: "Then thank Luo'er and Ran'er for having a heart." However, the money still has to be paid, and it is not easy for us to open a shop. Besides, these sisters are older than her! How can you just take your sister's things for nothing? It's not good to spread the reputation. ”

She smiled and pointed to the daughters of the Zhang family sitting together: "These are the daughters of our Zhang family. All of them won my heart. They don't have to pay for me. Even if you take my body and raise it for yourself? They will not be wronged and embarrassed. ”

These words have some meaning for the second lady of the Zhang family. After all, her expression just now was a little obvious, and everyone in the hall saw it clearly.

The second lady of the Zhang family also had a hot face. She is not young now, and she rarely goes to the old lady to make rules after taking charge of a room alone, and now the old lady of the Zhang family has not heard this ruthless meaning for a long time.

The second lady of the Zhang family hurriedly spoke: "What the old lady said is that the silver still has to be paid." There will certainly be no penny less. ”
