Chapter 17 It is better to take two more concubines
Shu Changyu went to Shouhe Garden to ask for peace, Shuangqiao welcomed her in, and said in a respectful voice: "Young lady, please sit down for a while, the old lady is now worshipping the Buddha in the Buddha room." ”
When she entered the room, she happened to see what Shuangxi was remembering in the ear room, so she paced over slowly with curiosity and asked softly, "Sister Shuangxi, what are you doing?" ”
Shuangxi didn't notice when the young lady came in because of his preoccupation, so he hurriedly got up and saluted, and said with some embarrassment: "Because the slave and maid recognized a few big characters, the old lady told the slave and maid to transcribe the accounts at the end of each month. ”
Shu Changyu glanced at the account book, and saw that it was just a running account, and it was very difficult to check. After a little hesitation, he said: "Sister Shuangxi, I saw a way to remember how to remember accounts clearly when I was flipping through the book, but I can try it now, what do you think?" ”
Shuangxi was flattered and said: "The young lady doesn't dislike the slave and the maid for being stupid, and the slave and maid are too late to be grateful, so the young lady asks for advice." ”
Shu Changyu drew a table with a pen and said seriously: "In this horizontal column, you can record various accounts, such as cicada wing yarn, soft smoke luo, cixiro, etc. In this column, the number of days can be recorded. And the blank column in the middle is the number of each item per day. ”
Shuangxi was confused at first, and Shu Changyu patiently explained again, so she didn't seem to understand.
"Confused things, my old woman understands, why are you still an elm head."
The old lady walked out of the Buddha worship room at some point, and saw and heard Shu Changyu's words and deeds of patiently teaching Shuangxi in her ears and eyes, and couldn't help nodding slightly, and her vigorous eyes showed a hint of approval.
Shu Changyu was slightly flustered, and then smiled lightly, Zhou Zhou bowed to the old lady solemnly, and said generously: "Changyu greets the old ancestor." ”
Shuangxi also asked for peace, and did not forget to praise: "The old lady is a person like a literary qu star, how can he be compared to a foolish thing like a slave." Fortunately, the slave and maid bothered to ask the young lady for advice, and they could be regarded as touching some doorways. The young lady's method is really excellent, but I am afraid that even a few old gentlemen in the account room can't compare. ”
Shu Changyu helped the old lady to sit down on the Taishi's chair, only to hear the old man say angrily: "Noisy things, don't serve the young lady with tea." ”
After Shuangxi left, the old lady looked at Shu Changyu and sighed, and said slowly: "Good girl, in the end, everyone is beautiful, and our Xiao family repays grievances with virtue, and the old body is also ......."
Shu Changyu smiled quietly, her face was calm, and she said calmly: "Ancestor, Changyu said that the ancestor treated Changyu well. ”
The old lady was ashamed and moved in her heart, this girl came to ask her for peace and was harassed by her grandson, and she, the old woman, should have come out to administer justice for her. However, at her age, she still dared to compete with a child, and when she saw what tricks she still had, she only pretended not to know.
Who would have thought that the brother of the mother's family came to Huazhou to supervise as a messenger, and he did not leak a drop of water but supported his sister everywhere. This girl should have pushed the boat down the river to sue them, but who wanted to say nothing about being grounded, and even covered up his mistakes for Mo Bai.
But this girl understands what she said today. She made compromises completely for the sake of her wife, not for the sake of the husband and wife relationship with Mo Bai. After more than two years of tossing and turning, if it were replaced by her, an old woman, when she was young, she would also die.
"Girl, our Xiao family is ashamed of you. It's just a pity that you don't have a child under your knees......"
Shu Changyu listened to the old lady bring the topic to the point, so she pushed the boat along the way and said: "The old ancestor really talked about Changyu's heart. Changyu is only afraid that this life is hopeless, but the Xiao family must not be delayed. Aunt Su's belly has not moved since she gave birth last year, so there are still no heirs under the knees of the sovereign. ”
Shu Changyu's afterglow caught a glimpse of the old lady's sad appearance, paused, and said: "Changyu thinks, it's better to give the lord two more concubines, so as to open up branches and leaves for the Xiao family, so as to solve Changyu's heart." ”
The old lady felt in a trance that she had misheard, and suddenly turned her eyes to look at Shu Changyu, and a trace of surprise appeared on the old man's face. She knew that this girl had a deep love for Mo Bai, and one Su Qinhe was enough for her, how could she let other women share her husband with her?
But the problem of heirs is in front of her, she once asked Zhao Wan to hint to this girl, but I heard that this girl just gritted her teeth and did not let go, so this matter was over, and it also made her gradually lose her partiality towards this girl.
"Y-Do you really think so?"
Shu Changyu nodded, pretending to be a little lonely, and said earnestly: "Old ancestor, in the past, Changyu was young and didn't know how important it was, and in the future, I will ask my ancestor to teach me more." ”
When the old lady heard Shu Changyu's words today, she was really impressed by her, and her heart trembled with joy, and she paused and asked with a smile: "Girl, I heard what you said to Shuangxi just now, why are you interested in this business?" ”
Shu Changyu was slightly stunned, and said in fear: "Changyu doesn't dare to make a mistake." ”
"Silly boy, you are the future head of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family's business is still in the hands of Mo Bai and you. From Ming'er onwards, if you don't dislike my old wife and son, and you don't like to endure hardship, my old bones can take you to toss for a while. ”
Shu Changyu was overjoyed, she originally just wanted to disperse Su Qinhe's attacks and hostility, but she didn't expect that she would be able to kill three birds with one stone, not only to gain the trust of the old lady, but also to get in touch with the Xiao family's industry.
