Chapter 137: A Little Try

Second Mrs. Qi shook her head, "It's just that I'm old, today the house invited the imperial doctor of the Ping'an pulse to come over, and there is no need to ask for another imperial doctor." I don't need you to serve here, you can go...... If you don't understand something, you can ask Wangcai's daughter-in-law. ”

"That lady is resting, if there is a big matter, I will come to ask my wife again." Xun Qingran bent his knees and retreated from the house.

Wangcai's daughter-in-law led the way in front, along the hand-copying verandah, through the two moon cave doors, and there were three neat inverted sitting halls. At this time, the housekeepers and daughters-in-law from all over the place had gathered outside the hall, and they were chattering and not knowing what to discuss, and they saw Wangcai's daughter-in-law accompanying Xun Qing from a distance, and they all shut up for a while. When Xun Qingran approached, the daughters-in-law all bent their knees and greeted Xun Qingran.

Xun Qingran nodded and walked into the hall. In the middle of the hall, there is a short collapse, next to a table, a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and below is a pear blossom wood chair lined up with two swallow wings.

"In the past, my wife was all here as a director, but then the second grandmother took over, so I didn't need it. Yesterday, the minion took people out overnight. The fourth grandmother looked at what was wrong and what needed to be added, and the slave picked it up again. Wangcai's daughter-in-law laughed.

Xun Qingran nodded, "Sister-in-law Wangcai has worked hard. So he walked up.

The bellflower has already laid another brocade mattress on the collapse, Xun Qingran sat down on the collapse, and the malt sent the new charcoal hand stove, and Ziguan and Baozhu placed two other hand stoves at Xun Qingran's feet. After the placement was completed, several girls retreated to stand behind Xun Qingran.

Wangcai's daughter-in-law watched coldly, several girls acted in an orderly manner, thoughtful and considerate, and saw Mama Song standing respectfully beside her, Wangcai's daughter-in-law didn't feel that her waist was bent down a little more, and there were a few more laugh lines on her face.

The jewel was taken and handed to Xun Qingran, who opened it and took a look.

Xun Qingran took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was already three quarters, so he nodded and ordered:

"Just according to the old practice, let them come in and talk back one by one, according to their priorities.

Wangcai's daughter-in-law nodded and wanted to go out, but Mai stopped her and said, "Sister-in-law, wait, our grandmother's first day director, these housekeepers' daughters-in-law, there are also people who don't know much." When my sister-in-law went out, I ordered them to report to our grandmother before they went back. ”

Almost everyone in the Qi Mansion knows that there are several big girls around Xun Qingran, and the most outstanding ones are bellflower and malt. Among them, there are more people who know malt, because the malt is more colorful, the mouth is sharp, and the people are also spicy. And people inside and outside Ning Yuan know that Xun Qingran is very fond of the girls around him, and he is more fond of malt. Now that the malt is open, Wangcai's daughter-in-law unconsciously looked up at Xun Qingran's face, saw Xun Qingran smiling and nodded, and hurriedly went out to order.

After a while, Wangcai's daughter-in-law first brought in a slightly older woman.

The woman curtsied, "The slave Qiao Dexi's family is an errand boy in the yard of the second grandmother." Qiao Dexi's family said and handed over a post, saying that it was Qi Er's grandmother raising a fetus, and the prescription prescribed by Imperial Doctor Jiang was still lacking several precious medicinal materials such as fish maw and ejiao, and he needed to go out to buy it now, and he had to get the right card to the account room to receive the silver.

Baozhu took the post, and still handed it to Xun Qingran, Xun Qingran glanced at it, and frowned secretly, a few flavors of medicinal materials, the price and dosage were clearly written, but there were two miscalculations in the number of silver that was summarized.

Xun Qingran read the post this time, nodded, and did not speak immediately, but looked at this Qiao Dexi family anew.

Qiao Dexi's family once nursed Qi Xiu, the second master of the Qi family. Yuan also took care of things, and since Qi Er's grandmother entered the door, she slowly unloaded her errands. Today, there is only a vacant office hanging in the pomegranate courtyard, and there is no specific deacon. The second grandmother of the partial birth Qi purchased medicinal materials, so she arranged for Qiao Dexi's family, and the partial birth of the Xi family was the first to come in, and there was a mistake and omission in the post.

Xun Qingran squinted her eyes slightly, although she thought that Second Lady Qi would not give her power, but she did not slack off because of this. On the contrary, she was well prepared.

Qiao Dexi's family saw that Xun Qing was smiling, neither giving the right cards nor speaking, so he laughed and said: "Back to the fourth grandmother, the second grandmother is going to take medicine this morning, and she is waiting for these medicinal herbs." The fourth grandmother came to be good with our second grandmother, and begged the fourth grandmother to quickly issue a pair of cards, and the slave also received the silver and bought medicinal materials. The second grandmother is a double body, but she is waiting for this medicine to protect the fetus."

"It seems that Mama is very considerate of the second grandmother, since this is the case, it should be more careful, but a few things, these mistakes will be made, how can Mama explain." Xun Qingran threw the post to the ground.

Qiao Dexi's family hurriedly picked it up and looked at it, "It's the second grandmother who is in a hurry to use it, and she can't delay." The slave didn't sleep all night, only took a nap, and then he got the number wrong. Now I will buy it according to the number of four grandmothers. ”

Wangcai's family came from the side, took the post to read, and praised with a smile: "This grandma is really confused." The malt girl's abacus is really good, and it is comparable to those account gentlemen in the outer courtyard. ”

Qiao Dexi's old man sells the old, Xun Qingran is not angry but laughs.

"Mama has also been in this house for some years, has she been talking like this? Simply Mama didn't even have to hand over this post, and told us that we would have calculated the account, and the silver was neatly delivered to your old man's hand, and your old man went back to sleep enough, and this errand was done, so why bother to run this trip there. ”

This Qiao Dexi's family originally thought that Xun Qing dyed the new daughter-in-law's face was tender, she relied on the old and sold the old, and this matter was mixed up, and the Wangcai family was helping by the side, and it may not be the idea of fighting, but Xun Qingran was not so easy to fool.

"Back to the fourth grandmother, it was the slave who fell asleep and got the account wrong. Ask the fourth grandmother to spare the slave this time. Qiao Dexi's family knelt down and said.

Xun Qingran thought about it for a while, and already had an idea. She didn't want to use killing to gain power, she thought of a better way.

"Mama is sleepy, so go outside and stand in the West Hall for a while, wake up and take a nap. Let's talk again. Xun Qingran commanded.

There was no punishment for kneeling, no slapping of the board, and no scolding of the scolding, just punishment for standing.

The daughters-in-law who were waiting outside saw it and came forward to ask about it. Qiao Dexi's family didn't have the face to say anything, so he only went to the west side to stand in the hall.

Just because she doesn't speak doesn't mean others don't speak. The wives of these stewards will know the whole story in a moment.

"It's not, that west wears the hall, not only people come to live, but there is also a good style of passing through the hall." The other snickered.

After punishing Qiao Dexi's family, Xun Qingran held the post in her hand and asked, "Is there any daughter-in-law who is idle?" ”

Xun Qingran smiled slightly, and ordered someone to call the Qi Fu family.

"You go and get the money, remember to buy the good one, even if the price is higher than this, it doesn't hurt, let the store send someone to make up the money." The second grandmother is in a hurry, you can do it now, don't delay. Xun Qingran instructed Baozhu to hand over the pair of cards to the Qi Fu family.

Such a good errand fell from the sky, Qi Fu's family naturally smiled, took the post and the pair of cards, and left happily.

The daughters-in-law talked back and forth in the hall, and listened to a few in succession, all of which were not wrong or missing, some of them were to receive money and things, and some were just daily chores to ask for instructions, Xun Qingran disposed of them one by one, and those who received money and things, there was malt on the side to record them one by one, and arranged for the daughters-in-law to receive the cards in order.

The last old grandmother came in and led the sandalwood, fine cotton, and various colored rulers in Rong's yard.

Xun Qingran recognized it as Mama Meng, who stayed at Rong's place and followed Rong's to joke about her and Qi You, there was this Mama Meng, who was the old man in front of Rong's, and she was very embarrassed.

"Mama, please be seated." Xun Qingran smiled and gave way.

"Mama and wait here, have a cup of hot tea. I'll send this girl to fetch the things and send them to Mama in a moment. ”

Mama Meng hurriedly thanked Xun Qingran and still followed the jewel. Originally, Zhou Gui's family was behind the Qi Fu family, but who dared to compete with the people in the old lady's yard. Xun Qingran asked Zhou Gui's family to wait for the jewel to get back the pair of cards, and then go to the support.

Yi Nian lived, Rong sat on the collapse, closed his eyes and listened to Mama Meng. After Mama Meng finished speaking, Rong opened her eyes and said with a smile: "How did she deal with it?" Good, atmospheric and beautiful. ”

"That's what the old lady said. I don't know which one is teasing it, Qiao Dexi's family is the second master's wet nurse, although she doesn't take care of things, she is decent. The second grandfather's nurse is different from the second grandmother's person. If the fourth grandmother gets face and goes over vaguely, those people behind see it, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other hearts, who knows what problems will arise to embarrass the fourth grandmother. If the fourth grandmother punished Qiao Dexi's family, whether it was light or severe, it would be difficult for the second master not to complain, even if the slave thought about it, he felt embarrassed. The fourth grandmother handled it skillfully, and called the Qi Fu family next to the fourth grandmother to take over the errand, so that people can only praise it, and they can't find the slightest mistake. Later, the fourth grandmother still had a word, and asked the Qi family to buy it quickly, just buy the good ones, the silver is not enough, just fill it. Tsk, the old slave is next to him, and the fourth grandmother is really respected and loved, which is a little better than when the second grandmother was just a director. Mama Meng sat on her feet and said, "It's still the old lady's good vision, and she chose a good daughter-in-law for the fourth master." ”

Rong's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, "The benefits of dyeing a girl's head are not only these, she also has an advantage, but it is difficult for ordinary people to reach." ”

"Alas, according to the slave to look at it, this appearance is good, good temperament, good needlework, can be a housekeeper, and the means are beautiful, which is already excellent. There are even benefits that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, and the old lady has to teach the slaves. Mama Meng said with a smile.

"That kid also has a great advantage, that is, he has no utilitarian heart and will not compete for fame and fortune. The reason why she handled this matter so beautifully was not only because she was smart, but also because of her extreme benefits. ”

Mama Meng thought about it and smiled, "The old lady has really worked hard for this family. ”

Rong sighed, "When I'm old, all I can do is to try my best to plan more for my children and grandchildren while I'm alive, so that they can have a better life in the future." In the days to come, they will have to rely on themselves after all. ”

“…… The second wife is blessed. ”

"I hope she can cherish her blessings."

……

Small study in the front yard

"It's not that the second grandmother is pregnant and can't work. Mama Qiao thought that she wanted to share her worries for the second master and serve in front of the good milk, so she got this errand. The little guy said.

"It was said that the fourth grandmother asked the Qi Fu family to do it, and the fourth grandmother also told the Qi Fu family not to delay, everything must be good, and if the money is not enough, it can be added. These four grandmothers are usually very good with the second grandmother, and this time they also gave the second grandmother great affection, how can I not know how to leave some dignity for the second master, after all, Mama Qiao once had a second master. ”

"This, who...... Who dares to calculate the second master? The little guy couldn't speak for a long time.

"I don't need to ask, who else can there be. I am honest and sincere here, she has a baby there, and she has not forgotten to calculate me, and she wants to suppress me with this reason. Hateful! ”

Qi Xiu stomped his feet, "I asked you to inquire where Xiao Song fell, but did you find out?" ”

"It's not easy to inquire about this, grandma's side won't ......let people talk about it," the little guy laughed, "It took a lot of effort for the slave to finally know some clues, and he was sold......" The little guy lowered his voice and whispered in Qi Xiu's ear.

Qi Xiu frowned deeply when he heard this, and sighed for a while, "That's it." He sat back in his chair.

The little guy observed his words, poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Second master, if Yan Xiaoyi had been willing to reveal this matter earlier, it would not have ended up like this." ”

The little guy giggled and said no more.

"She treats me like this, don't blame me for treating her like this." Qi Xiu leaned on the back of the chair and thought for a while, then suddenly had an idea, and called the little servant to come to him and give such and such an order.

"This ......" the little girl was a little embarrassed, "This is a little difficult, now that she is in front of her grandmother, she is not afraid that grandma will know?" Besides, Ye had already chilled her, and at this time, I don't know if she was willing to do that. ”

"It's not difficult to find you to arrange anything?" Qi Xiu said, "The master looks for her because he looks up to her, what does she refuse." If you do it, you will not be able to benefit from it after it is done. ”

The little servant hurriedly agreed, and the master and servant discussed in a low voice.

"Grandma, have you forgotten what the Imperial Doctor said? Your body is hard-won, but the gold is precious. Grandma is still taking care of it, and now, nothing matters as grandma's body. Dong'er persuaded.

"Do you know who got it?"

Dong'er shook her head and said she didn't know.

"The hearts of these housekeepers and grandmothers are clear. Rao is grandma is like she usually plays, and from time to time she has to stumble on grandma. The fourth grandmother is the new daughter-in-law, and someone bullied her for her tender face, making this method difficult for her. Maybe it's over there. Dong'er pointed westward, "Grandma is like this, she came over there yesterday, and the meaning of her words is to take over from grandma." I didn't expect the old lady to have an idea first, it was not good to fight with the fourth grandmother over there, and she was unwilling to do so, wishing that something would go wrong with the fourth grandmother, and it would be good to come up over there. ”
