The fourth grandmother, Jiang Suxin, came out of the wife's house, followed her to the outside of the courtyard, and saw that there was no one around, so she asked in a low voice, "Grandma told the wife?" ”

"My wife is angry that Sanniang is going out and throwing something, I am too busy to persuade it, where do I dare to mention it. In a few days, I'll talk about it when my wife is in a better mood. Jiang Suxin thought of her mother-in-law's instructions, and she was not too willing, but she couldn't listen to it.

In fact, as far as she is concerned, there is no need for her mother-in-law to target Sanniang in such a trivial matter. A woman's greatest wish is to marry a good man. And the old man is seriously ill, and it is not a matter of mother-in-law to whom he wants to promise Sanniang. The mother-in-law should give in to Sanniang in small things, and coax her, so as not to make Sanniang very careful in everything now. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the marriage will not be simple, and it will be a lot of trouble.

Jiang Suxin's mother's mother is also a lady of the main house, and she treats her sisters and brothers with much more skill. They will not be allowed to threaten the status of their children, nor will outsiders have the opportunity to speak up.

Compared with her mother, her mother-in-law's method of dealing with Sanniang was too impatient and uncontrollable.

Sometimes, Jiang Suxin will think, maybe it is the side room to straighten up, the mother-in-law is afraid of the righteous Sanniang, and she feels that she is already one level lower than Sanniang, so after mastering the property of the Qiu family, no matter how big or small, she has to win this eldest lady to be satisfied.

"Grandma, shall we go back?" Baozhu asked.

"......" Jiang Suxin was quiet for a while, "No, go up to the warehouse and take a look." ”

Measured, for now, don't risk your favored status, and do what your mother-in-law wants. Anyway, I know that although she also has a share of the key to the treasury, it is still the mother-in-law who has the big idea. If you make trouble, you can't make trouble on your own.

The treasury of the inner house of Qiu Mansion contains all kinds of valuable things, ranging from a red coral screen with 10,000 taels of gold to a golden jade wine glass. Unless it has been rewarded by the old lady, if it is taken out of the storehouse, it must be brought back untouched.

In the first month, the fourth aunt borrowed a set of jade pearls and went back to her parents' house, but when she sent it back, she was missing a big pearl worth three hundred taels. The wife asked her aunt to make up for her own money. The fourth aunt's silver was secretly given to Qi Niang, where did she get three hundred taels, so she had to help embroider in her own silk shop. We're still far away.

As soon as I entered the high-walled compound where the warehouse was located, several housekeepers and ladies greeted me and called the fourth grandmother on their knees.

Jiang Suxin asked them all to get up and sit in the hall next to the warehouse. The little girl handed over the fragrant tea, and she took a leisurely sip.

"The fourth grandmother wants to be sampled?" In addition to the master, the biggest one here is the daughter-in-law of Mrs. An, known as Anshun's daughter-in-law.

The items in the treasury should be counted every two months, or ordered by the master himself, or reported by the assigned daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law. The temporary sampling inspection was passed down from Qiu Sanniang's time in charge. Jiang Suxin thought it was good, so he used it.

Qiu Sanniang's rules and regulations are clearly written, the rewards and punishments are clear, and even the people in charge of the treasury are limited by these rules, which opens the eyes of Jiang Suxin, who is in charge of the treasury for the first time. But the mother-in-law was afraid that these rules were not conducive to her exercising her private rights, so when she changed all the servants in the treasury, she simply abolished the book and used the rules when the master was in charge of the treasury. If the mother-in-law withholds the things in the warehouse and does not return them, then she cannot be recovered.

Jiang Suxin asked Anshun's daughter-in-law to bring the book, glanced up, and asked, "There is no banquet in the outer garden today?" ”

Anshun's daughter-in-law replied, "No one has ever said it." ”

"Then—let's close the warehouse and inspect it today." Jiang Suxin closed the book, "Take the sign." ”

General inspection is to count everything. If the warehouse is sealed, it cannot be taken out, but can only be brought in.

Anshun's daughter-in-law is strange, it's almost the end of the month, and now it's a general inspection, this is not full, what are you doing? I thought about it, but I didn't dare to delay, so I quickly took the sign of division of labor.

Jiang Suxin divided the work one by one, but he didn't plan to do it himself, so he asked Baozhu to follow up with the warehouse, and only Anshun's daughter-in-law was left in the hall to speak.

"That's what Mrs. meant." Jiang Suxin observed the words and looks, how could he not know that Anshun's daughter-in-law was bothered behind her back.

Anshun's daughter-in-law immediately smiled, "Fourth grandmother, I'll just say, you won't seal the warehouse for no reason." ”

Jiang Su knew that she was pleasing herself, and she didn't care, "On weekdays, who will the third girl send to pick up the things in the library?" ”

"The three girls haven't been here since they handed over the key to the storeroom. Every time I receive my wife's reward, I send more big girls around her, Bai He, and second-class girls with green chrysanthemums. "The An family is the confidant brought by the Zhang family from her mother's family, how can you not know the contradiction between the wife and the eldest lady. Listening to the fourth grandmother inquire about Sanniang, Anshun's daughter-in-law answered very attentively.

"Only these two?" Jiang Suxin asked indifferently.

"I've only seen these two. However, I heard my mother-in-law talk about what happened a few days ago, and my wife taught a rough girl in the courtyard of the third girl, named Mo Zi. I still wonder, why haven't I heard this name? "Anshun's daughter-in-law is a very talkative person.

"It's not a lesson, it's just a slap in the face." Jiang Suxin put down the cup, got up, and took care of Anshun's daughter-in-law again, "Remember, no one can take anything from the treasury today." It's really in the outer garden, and people come to me. ”

"Yes, Fourth Grandma." Anshun's daughter-in-law followed behind Jiang Suxin and sent her to the gate of the hospital.

When Jiang Suxin was gone, Anshun's daughter-in-law found a trusted little girl, "Go to An's mother and ask what Mrs. means clearly." "The fourth grandmother is so good, saying it is equivalent to not saying it. When the time comes, he who sins against others will become himself.

Closure? Where is it so easy to seal!

The fifth young master took the jewelry in the library and gave him those girls at every turn, once a few days. Usually, Anshun's daughter-in-law is given by this head, and the other head hurriedly reports to his wife. It is up to the wife to decide whether to scold or turn a blind eye. The mother-in-law said that if it is worth a dozen taels or dozens of taels, the wife almost doesn't care. It's a coincidence, she doesn't give it today, and she goes to his wife's place, can she scold her son but help her? It's not possible.

When the little girl reported the letter, she learned that it was the wife who wanted to show the third girl's face, and Anshun's daughter-in-law would count. took a bag of melon seeds, made a pot of tea, sat under the porch, and spit out one melon shell at a time.

The incense utensils, tea utensils, and head and face jewelry required for the seven-day fasting ceremony are all regulated by certain regulations. The nunnery is pure, and he doesn't like gold and silverware, and he pays attention to plainness, but he can't lose the identity of a lady from a big family, so jade is the best. I will go out tomorrow, and I will come to get jade today.

Just after noon, someone pulled up the knocker.

The little girl who watched the door asked in a soft voice who it was.

"I'm the girl Bai Lotus in the courtyard of the three girls."

The little girl hurriedly glanced at Anshun's daughter-in-law not far away.

Anshun's daughter-in-law beckoned the little girl over, and ordered her like this.

The little girl stood behind the door and raised her voice slightly, "Today's warehouse is closed and inspected, you can only collect things and not take things, you will come back tomorrow." ”

It was quiet outside for a while.

Anshun's daughter-in-law thought that people were interesting, and they were easily dismissed, and they couldn't help but be proud.

At this moment, a clear female voice that she had never heard before came into the courtyard, making the maids-in-law look at each other.

"What we have taken is not what is in the public, but what is stored in the warehouse and belongs to the three girls, what does it have to do with the inspection? I opened the door first, and asked the lady in charge to speak. ”
