Zheng understands how she thinks of Hou Jiayu, but what can she do?

She never took it to heart.

Marrying into the Hou family, treating this as a business, taking what she needs, and teaching her stepson and stepdaughter is her duty, and it is also a must for her to live a peaceful life in the rest of her life.

The next room is to handle things, and there is no affection and affection.

The big house of the Hou family is Hou Bingxiu's branch, his parents passed away, the second room is Hou Haizhuan, the original match is gone, and two sons-in-law were born, the eldest son is Hou Yanting's father Hou Binggui.

married the step-room Qian family and gave birth to a son and a daughter, there is no concubine, and there is no concubine.

Hou Binggui originally gave birth to two daughters and a son, the eldest daughter has been married, the eldest son is sixteen years old this year, and has not yet been married, and the second daughter is Hou Yanting, fourteen years old, it stands to reason that it is the age when the marriage should be determined, because of filial piety, there are still two years of filial piety.

The Zheng family took Hou Yanting out a few times, but it was only a few relatives' homes, and they did not show up at festivals or other people's celebrations.

Hou Binggui diligently followed Zheng back to the room, poured tea and handed it over.

Zheng took it and thanked the master, Hou Binggui said with a smile: "Wu Niang is tired, pouring a cup of tea for her husband is nothing." ”

Zheng smiled and lowered his head to drink tea.

Hou Binggui looked at her with satisfaction, marrying the Zheng family, she was so satisfied, she was the woman in her dreams when she was young.

Gentle, elegant, soft-spoken, and the murmuring at night is even more distressing.

I used to be afraid of moving out of the ancestral house, but now I think, it's good to move out, I am the head of the second room, my father and stepmother don't care, and now everything is up to me.

It's not that I didn't have the ability to do it before, but I didn't have the opportunity, but now that I've moved out, isn't it good?

Zheng drank tea, and Hou Binggui took it and put it on the table.

"I went to see the concubine today, I said that I would wait until the master was well and then go to the concubine to say goodbye, the concubine said that the master worked hard, to manage such a large family, filial piety to parents, love brothers, and the child is well-behaved and obedient, this is all the credit of the master."

Hou Binggui said modestly: "Where and where, I am the eldest son, and I should be." ”

I think so in my heart, and I still want to, look, the old lady understands it, and she sees the problem to the point.

Zheng smiled and said: "Master, I originally wanted to ask the prince for help today, but unfortunately the prince is not there, ask the prince if he has a good shopkeeper in a few shops, and help introduce one, so as to add a helper to the master." The concubine said, Baoshan sixteen, just follow the master to learn to do things, I said how good, Baoshan is a child of the official family, the concubine said, Qing Wang Ye is still the prince, and he does not personally do the business, his own industry does not know a little bit of understanding, like what to say. The concubine blushed when she said this, the old man of the concubine was wise, where was the concubine, and the old man understood how much she thought. ”

Hou Binggui put his hands on Zheng's shoulders and comforted: "Wu Niang is very good, my mother praised Wu Niang yesterday, saying that she sends soup to her father and mother every day, and she is kind to her younger siblings. The concubine is right, Baoshan is big, it's time to learn something, don't worry, no one will say Wu Niang, it's my idea, how can a man care about everything? He is my eldest son, and he will depend on him in the future, so how can I rest assured that I will hand over my home to him? ”

Zheng touched his hand and said: "The lord understands people, the concubine said, there is a lord with Baoshan, father and son, there is nothing to worry about, lord, this family is hard work, the concubine is also blessed, I can marry the lord, and I have a support for the rest of my life." ”

Hou Binggui took Zheng and nodded solemnly: "With me, rest assured." ”

Early the next morning, Hou Binggui called his son Hou Baoshan and asked him to follow the housekeeper to get acquainted with the second-room industry.

"The king also takes care of the shop himself, you are more expensive than the prince? Who owns the property? If you weren't my eldest son, not surnamed Hou, I would let you know how much your property is? How many acres of land do you have at home? How much grain is harvested each year? How much do you spend on yourself? These fell from the sky? Without these industries, you have to rely on God to drink the northwest wind? ”

After Hou Binggui finished reprimanding, Hou Baoshan walked out dejectedly, but saw his sister at the door with an excited face.

"Brother, I'll follow you."

Hou Baoshan opened his mouth and reprimanded: "If the woman doesn't stay in the house, what is running around?" ”

"Is it foolish to stay in the house? Why did Meng's mother move three times? ”

Hou Baoshan choked, looked at his sister who was becoming more and more talkative, and flicked his sleeves and left.

If it was before, Hou Yanting would only hide her face and cry and run back to the house, and would not go out for a few days.

Now that I have the courage, I can say it, and I slowly look down on my brother like this somehow.

Today, her mother asked her to follow her brother to familiarize herself with the Hou family's property, Hou Yanting was very excited, and she also wanted to know how much the property in the second room was, and whether the accounts in the hands of the aunts could match.

She knew that the aunts said behind their backs that her mother was corrupt by taking charge of the Hou family, but she thought in her heart that her mother would not do this, and she didn't know why, she felt that her mother would not think so much and just stare at that bit of property.

Her mother said that if she were a man, she would never stay in the inner house, where the world was so big that she would have to walk anywhere.

At that time, Hou Yanting thought in her heart, it is this inner house in all directions, I haven't understood yet, how did I live my previous days?

Cousin Danruo said that when she was less than ten years old, her mother asked her to take care of the accounts in her own yard, how many people she wanted, how much she spent every month, and how she received gifts.

Hou Yanting thought that she used to be in charge of her mother, and that was also handed over to her mother, what did she want to ask her mother, I don't know if there is enough monthly balance, and her mother doesn't know, so she has to ask her mother around her.

But now she sees that the second and third aunts keep their own accounts, so why do you say that her mother is a good woman who never touches these mundane things?

Hou Yanting had a feeling of being deceived, and she wanted to think more clearly about the second-room industry.

Seeing her brother's appearance of not eating fireworks in the world, Hou Yanting was angry and followed with a wilt.

In the account room, the housekeeper and the bookkeeper were all introduced by the county lord of Changhua after moving out, and the previous bookkeeper and housekeeper were also big house people.

After a while, Hou Binggui and Zheng also came in, and Hou Binggui said to his son and daughter: "Your mother feels sorry for you, so she has to come along, saying that it is okay to pour a cup of tea, you have to be careful, so that your mother can rest assured." ”

Hou Yanting thanked her, Hou Baoshan was silent, and Hou Binggui glared at him dissatisfied.

Zheng said: "Trouble the master, the concubine grinds the ink and does not disturb the master's work." ”

"Mrs. is hard, and these mundane things have to be bothered by Mrs."

Mr. Bookkeeper lowered his head and smiled, his wife knows every account without looking at the account book, and these vulgar things?

Zheng married, the Hou family only knew that she was from Wucheng County, ran a business, and after she took over the Hou family's industry, she sent people to do things, and she didn't go out most of the time, the Hou family thought that she was just looking at the account books and checking the accounts, Hou Binggui thought that Zheng was a weak and delicate woman, even if there was a business before, it was her cousin who helped her, and there was a steward, Zheng was a woman in the house who collected money at home.

It's not surprising to be able to take care of the inner house, everyone is taken care of by the housewife, Yanting's mother was in the past, isn't the family good? Just do the next person.

Outside, where did Hou Binggui understand before, but now he is full of manhood, he has done a few things, he thinks it is very easy, and he starts to take his son again.

I have long forgotten that he was also opposed to his son's exposure to these mundane things.
