Chapter 683: Foolish (II)

Jiang looked at the account book overnight.

Xu Sizhen got up in the middle of the night and saw that she was still busy working under the lamp, and persuaded her: "Rest early!" There is still more than half a month before March 3, and it is still early. As he spoke, he took the leather jacket that was on the side and put it on her, "You can't become fat by eating in one bite." Some things have to be done slowly. ”

Jiang smiled gratefully at him and tugged at his clothes: "Xianggong don't care about me, let's go to sleep first!" I'm going to take a break from that! "There is no intention of resting.

Xu Sizhen was about to close her account book: "Let's go and rest together!" ”

Jiang hurriedly grabbed the account book: "Xianggong, you don't care about me!" There was a slight displeasure in his tone.

Xu Si was stunned.

Jiang Shi was shocked that his speech was too blunt, and he hurriedly explained with a smile: "Since my mother-in-law handed over this matter to me, how can I get this thing done." Although there is still more than half a month before March 3rd, you can check the expenses of March 3rd in previous years, the accounts of the banquet, who was invited, and how it was handled...... This pile, one by one, which one does not take effort. She said, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Xianggong thinks it's still early, why don't I think it's enough!" ”

Xu Sizhen also felt this way when he first took over the housework.

He was immediately relieved.

"Why don't you call Mother Song and ask?"

At the beginning, he was called Mr. Bai.

"Mother Song is the person next to her mother, how can we call casually." Jiang shook his head, "Don't worry, Xianggong, I also learned to manage accounts with my mother when I was at home, not to mention that my mother handed over the account books to me, and I also have a Yuan Baozhu's family by my side...... This is just a new takeover, and I am a little unfamiliar with it, so it will be good to wait until I am familiar with it. ”

Xu Sichen knew that his wife was smart and clever, since he said so, he must be a little sure, thinking that he would meet Lu Changgui early tomorrow morning, he yawned and went to sleep first.

Jiang went through the way of the banquet at home in his mind, called Baozhu to polish the ink for her, and wrote a charter for March 3. By the time I put my pen down, it was already white.

She rubbed her somewhat sour neck, read what she had written again, felt that there was no big problem, and called Yuan Baozhu's family to come in: "You can help me take a look again." If you think it's okay, I'll take it to my mother-in-law. ”

According to the old practice, the list of banquets was drawn up, the cost of each table, the dishes to be served, and the number of maids, daughters-in-law, and mothers-in-law who needed to be served...... Even the reward for the play was taken into account one by one, and it was several times more attentive than when I followed Mrs. Jiang to learn housekeeping at home.

"The fourth young grandmother has really grown up!" Yuan Baozhu's family sighed, "The slave and maid really can't find anything wrong!" She pointed to the "Twelve Flower Boats" written in it and said with a smile, "The fourth young grandmother wants to move the place for listening to the drama and the banquet to Biyi Lake, right?" It's just that Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Huang are old and can't stand the bumps of this ship? Look, do you want to change places? ”

Jiang does mean this.

When she was a child, she went to Jiangnan with her father, sat in the flower boat and fished, and the boat girls took the fish caught to cook, drank two cups of wine, and watched the scenery on the lake, like a fairy-like scene, which left a deep impression in her memory.

"Why don't you fix the boat in one place?" Jiang thought of Zhou Yu in the burning of Chibi, "In this way, you can move the banquet to the lake without bumping!" ”

"It turns out that the fourth young grandmother has already had a countermeasure." Yuan Baozhu's family secretly held the Jiang family, "It's the slave who has a lot of heart." ”

"I just thought of it!" Jiang said a few more words to her about the banquet, and asked the little maid to come in to serve and freshen up, and she was about to go to the place where Eleven Niang went.

Yuan Baozhu's family stopped her: "The fourth young grandmother is so close her eyes, it's not okay to stay up like this!" ”

"I'll come when I go." Jiang Shi was secretly a little worried, "If my mother-in-law thinks it's not good, I'm afraid this banquet will have to be rearranged......" Speaking of this, she smiled bitterly, "There is still time to be busy." ”

At this time, she deeply realized the gap between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

If you want to be in charge, it depends on whether your mother-in-law gives you a home.

Thinking of this, Jiang sighed and went to the main courtyard with the orb.

There were seven or eight cages in the west room, and Eleven Niang and Ying Niang's aunt and nephew were standing side by side with a smile, and they were selecting clothes and materials there.

Jiang stepped forward and saluted, and Eleven Niang beckoned her to sit on the kang near the window

Seeing Jiang's family, Eleven Niang beckoned her to sit down on the big kang near the window, and told Yingniang with a smile: "I remember that there are two white burnt cloths, you found them together." We'll do half-arm wear when the time comes. ”

Jiang Shi smiled and replied, "Is Mother preparing the materials for summer clothes?" ”

"yes!" Eleven Niang took the tea brought by the little maid and said with a smile, "It's about to be summer, and I'm idle, make a few new clothes with your eldest cousin." He added, "Are Brother Ting'er's summer clothes ready?" I still have two horses here that are paying tribute from Guangdong, so you can take them and make two small clothes for the children!" ”

"Thank you, Mother!" The fine kudzu paid tribute by Guangdong is light and breathable, and it is best to make summer clothes. Just because they are all tributes, they are rarely seen on the market. Precious. Jiang thanked Eleven Niang, and Ying Niang over there had already smiled and brought two turmeric kudzu over.

Jiang asked Baozhu to accept it, and saw that Yingniang was wearing a bean-green jacket, eight Hunan skirts embroidered with plum blossoms in pink, and only small pearl earplugs fell on her ears, which were delicate and cute, and said with a smile: "My sister is from Jiangnan, is there still eight Hunan skirts popular in Suzhou this year?" ”

Yingniang smiled: "I don't know much about this. This is the dress of my cage, and my aunt saw that I was wearing a white upline skirt, and asked me to find a pink dress to come out......" she said, looking down at her own skirt, and smiling, "I found one." ”

The two smiled and said a few words, and Jiang took out the charter that he had written overnight.

Eleven Niang looked at it carefully for a while, then smiled: "Not bad, not bad." It is indeed a good idea to open the banquet on Biyi Lake. You can think of connecting all the flower boats at home with iron chains for banquet purposes, which is very rare. She left her things behind and called out to Amber, "You go and tell the mother in charge that you will come to the flower hall tomorrow morning, and I have something to order." ”

Amber smiled and stepped back.

Jiang's face was slightly red, and his expression was a little excited.

Her proposal was all accepted. This affirmation is too important to her. At least it shows that although the mother-in-law beat her that day, she did not dislike her because of it.

"In two days, it's time to make summer clothes for the servants." Eleven Niang smiled and said to Jiang's, "When you and the mother in charge of the needlework room total, see what kind of materials are used?" How much silver? ”

Jiang Shi was stunned, but quickly recovered, got up with a smile and responded: "Yes!" ”

Shi Niang nodded slightly and took the tea: "Go down and rest!" Remember to come to the flower hall early tomorrow morning! ”

Jiang bent his knees and retreated.

I can't help but feel the time to go out.

Yingniang's cheerful laughter came from the room: "...... I've seen pods, but I've never seen a pod wrapped in red gold! ”

Jiang knew that it was her mother-in-law and the eldest cousin discussing jewelry.

She walked briskly out of the courtyard.

Eleven Niang smiled: "I also think it's too heavy." It's just something from your uncle, and it's always been here. Tomorrow, the master of jewelry will enter the house, and I am going to change it into a hairpin. Then he picked a beaded flower made of hibiscus stone and gave it to Yingniang, "You are young, you look good in these soft jewelry." ”

"It's beautiful!" Yingniang happily thanked her and played with it in her hand for a long time.

Eleven Niang smiled slightly and asked her, "Have you thought about what clothes to make?" ”

Yingniang looked at the colorful summer clothes in front of her, and said embarrassedly: "I, I haven't thought about it yet!" Usually my mother helps me do it, and I will wear whatever she does! ”

Eleven Niang laughed: "You don't have anything you particularly like!" ”

"Yes!" Yingniang smiled a little embarrassedly, "It's just that every time the needlework master does what I say, everyone says it's not good-looking when I wear it." ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing.

The two of them were picking up the materials for the clothes and talking about what to do.

Xu Si commanded and came to say hello.

"It's noon!" Eleven Niang smiled and took out a purple Gu Rong and put it on the kang, asked the little maid to invite Xu Sijie in, and said to Ying Niang, "You cut this and put it away." In the summer, I rewarded those maids and daughters-in-law to make velvet flowers to wear. ”

Ying Niang smiled and put the close-fitting maid Wanxiang aside.

Xu Sijie walked in.

"Is Mother looking for materials to make summer clothes?" He smiled and saluted Eleven Niang, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the Gu Rong placed on the side, "Do you want to start making velvet flowers now?" ”

Know this?

Even I don't know?

Ying Niang muttered in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Xu Sijie twice.

"This material is pressed at the bottom of the box, if I hadn't looked for a white charred cloth this time, I would have forgotten it a long time ago." Eleven Niang saw it in her eyes and said with a smile, "Since you find out, let your eldest cousin keep it." lest you forget it when you get it. Then he smiled, "Aren't you going to take a break in two days?" Yingniang also likes flowers and trees, you and Yingniang will help me move a few gardenias and plant them in the backyard. ”

Xu Sijie smiled hurriedly.

Yingniang also showed a few joys.

******

Jiang returned to the house and hurriedly re-copied the list of banquets in two copies - before the official posting, the list of banquets should not only be shown to Mrs. Tai, but also to Eleven Niang, so as not to fall behind. called Yuan Baozhu's family again, calculated all kinds of expenses, and even instructed Yuan Baozhu's family to inquire about the prices of vegetables these days and write a list for her.

"So troublesome?" Xu Si, who came back from the outer courtyard, couldn't help muttering, "I looked at my mother, just give the silver to my mother who is in charge......

Jiang Shi smiled and said, "I'm not trying to manage money with the mothers in charge. I'm afraid of the mothers in charge, and I don't know when they talk about these things. When others look at me, I can only say that I can't practice. ”

This makes sense.

When he was in the outer courtyard, some shopkeepers thought he didn't understand, and he just explained things like a jujube when he asked.

Jiang was busy until noon, and he couldn't hold it anymore, so he took a break, and got the food price list in the afternoon and looked at it for an afternoon. The next day she got up before dawn. I think today is the first time she has officially met with the mothers in charge, and after a long time of grooming and dressing, she went to the eleventh mother surrounded by the maid and daughter-in-law.
