Sister Zhen stood in front of Eleven Niang with a smile, there were two red clouds on her white cheeks, and although her voice was calm, it was difficult to hide her excited expression: "...... I made silk flowers and tied them to the holly tree with green silk threads, and they had different fragrances according to the patterns of the silk flowers. At first glance, I thought that the flowers had descended to earth and made their flowers bloom overnight. As he spoke, he pursed his lips and smiled.

"Sister Hui'er's idea?" Eleven Niang wrapped a handkerchief and peeled an orange and handed it to her, "It's definitely not made overnight, it should be done normally, and it will be tied temporarily when a guest comes." ”

Sister Zhen nodded, took the orange and thanked Shi Niang in a low voice, divided the orange into two parts, and handed one to Shi Niang to eat: "However, it is not as good as our family's flowers and water spirit." He whispered again: "Moreover, their family is not as big as ours." The stay was cramped. Several aunts lived in the east wing of the upper room.

Eleven Niang laughed.

It's the nature of women to love these gossip!

"Marquis Lin has six sons, all of whom live together, so it must be very crowded." She smiled and asked, "Don't they have a warm house in their house?" ”

Sister Zhen shook her head: "I didn't see the conservatory." ”

"Otherwise, you can ask the person in the warm house to pick a few flowers and send them over." Eleven Niang smiled, "I'm afraid it's rarer than you send some gold or silver." ”

Sister Zhen was very happy to hear this: "I think so too." I'm going to come back and talk to my mother. ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "You can do what I can do, you don't have to discuss me in the future." Just make up your own mind. ”

Sister Zhen was stunned: "This, how can this work......"

"What's not to do." Eleven Niang smiled, "You are the eldest lady of our family." What's not to do. ”

Sister Zhen listened silently, looked at Eleven Niang and smiled shyly: "I ......"

Eleven Niang hoped that she would be more confident in herself, shook her hand, and emphasized again: "What I can do, you can also do." ”

The corners of Sister Zhen'er's eyes were slightly wet, and she thought of Eleven Niang's words to let her stop shedding tears, blinked her eyes, and endured it again. smiled and asked Eleven Niang: "Mother went to the third aunt, but it went well?" ”

Eleven Niang's heart warmed.

Sister Zhen also thinks about herself.

"My grandmother brought me over to my mothers." She chatted with her as if she were a friend, "Everyone is naturally very friendly to me when they see this posture." However, I thought that I was always a newcomer, and it was best to follow your third aunt hand by hand and heel to see what your third aunt did. Even if my mother came to ask me, I didn't say anything. It is only said that you have to ask your third aunt to decide. In this way, it not only maintains the dignity of your third aunt, but also does not say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing because you don't understand the rules of the family. You must know that those who are in power are most afraid to change the order of the day. Even if it is wrong, in order to maintain the dignity of the superior, it must be wrong to the end. But this kind of mistake also has limitations. For example, if it will cause serious consequences, then it will have to be changed. The best thing to do to avoid this is not to make a casual decision......"

She told Sister Zhen her thoughts and practices in detail.

This is good for her to marry into her in-law's family in the future and face an unfamiliar environment.

Sister Zhen listened very carefully.

"Actually, the best thing to do is to look at the ledger. The family's income and expenses are all accounted for. If you want to know the rules of this house, check the accounts, you can know them all. For example, knowing where your family's income comes from, you can know how your family should spend it. When you know where your family's money goes, you know how your family's money is spent......"

Sister Zhen listened and muttered: "Isn't it every year that the outer courtyard pulls money to the inner courtyard?" Why do you need to know how to spend your family? ”

Seeing that she listened to her words, Shi Niang was very happy and explained to her: "For example, if a large part of the family's income is the income in the Zhuangzi, you have to take into account that the annual income is not good, and it is impossible to have the same income every year. You have to keep some of it and save it, and you can only use some of it. ”

Sister Zhen immediately understood: "That is to say, you have to ignore the worst time and the best time of the year, and only look at the usual income." ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help nodding secretly when she listened.

Sister Zhen is worthy of Wen's genes, and this kind of account problem is clear at all.

She nodded: "That's exactly the truth." ”

After getting the affirmation of Eleven Niang, Sister Zhen was a lot bolder, and said: "Do you know where the family's money goes, so you can do things according to the old routine." ”

Eleven Niang saw her draw inferences from each other, and encouraged her with a smile: "Yes, if there is a big girl who is used to getting married, how much is the reward?" How to tip? It's all conventional. If the rules are broken, firstly, the subordinates will not accept it, and secondly, the future people will not know what to do. At this time, it is best to turn over the ledger. According to the rules, no one can say anything. ”

Sister Zhen nodded and said in a deep voice: "If you like it very much, you can reward it privately, but you can't break the rules and spend it from the account." ”

Eleven Niang couldn't help but sigh slightly when she heard this, and touched her head.

Sister Zhen is really talented!

"Are you going to do it?"

Sister Zhen'er's face turned slightly pale when she heard this.

Eleven Niang immediately realized that Sister Zhen was a little taboo about her background. This must have something to do with the Xu family's gaze at Aunt Wen. But she doesn't think that's a good sign.

People need to face themselves, not avoid them!

"I want to find someone to tell me how to plan the plate, do you want to study together?" She asked Sister Zhen with a smile.

Sister Zhen hesitated for a moment: "The second aunt told me how to do mental arithmetic, let me practice hard!" ”

Eleven Niang was a little surprised when she heard this, and after thinking about it, it was more in line with the second lady's usual style of maintaining a noble and elegant posture.

She didn't want to affect Sister Zhen because of the difference in ideas between the two and make Sister Zhen embarrassed. Immediately smiled: "That's not bad!" ”

Sister Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said: "The second aunt also said that in a family like ours, it is okay for women to do some small business for fun, and it is better not to get involved in larger businesses - it is more convenient for us to do business than others, so as not to arouse the jealousy of merchants and cause unnecessary trouble." ”

This also makes sense.

People like Yongping Hou, as long as they let out the rumors that they want to do business, they can start a business without capital, or even become a shareholder. But there is never anything in this world that is not earned, you make other people's money, you have to take out the corresponding things in exchange!

Eleven Niang smiled: "No wonder the second lady wants to open a fragrant dew shop with the fifth lady!" ”

Sister Zhen shook her head when she heard this: "The second aunt didn't open a fragrant dew shop with the fifth aunt. It was the fifth aunt who was opening a fragrant dew shop and asked the second aunt for a recipe, and the second aunt gave the recipe for the fragrant dew to the fifth aunt. Later, the fifth aunt said that the business of the fragrant dew shop was very good, and she had to give two shares to the second aunt, but the second aunt did not ask for it. ”

Eleven Niang was stunned.

I didn't expect Sister Zhen to know about it. On second thought, the second lady is equivalent to her teacher, and the two must be together often, so it is not unusual to know these things.

Sister Zhen smiled: "This was told to you by the third aunt, right?" ”

Why is there such a statement?

Eleven Niang smiled calmly at Sister Zhen'er: "No." I also wanted to make a fragrance shop before, but later I found out that the only two shops in Yanjing were made by the fifth lady, and I heard that they were made with the second lady, so I stopped thinking about it. ”

Sister Zhen listened to it: "Once the third aunt came to ask me about the news. I said it, and she didn't believe it. I thought she was talking about it......" added, "but I really don't know the recipe for the dew - mainly because I didn't pay attention to it before." After speaking, he looked at her with some uneasiness.

Of course, it's not the people who have a heart, who will pay attention to these.

Eleven Niang hurriedly said: "I also have the recipe for making fragrant dew, but I have never done it before." Since our family already has two fragrance shops, how can our own people dig into their own foot walls. Naturally, this can no longer be considered. ”

Sister Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and then as if she wanted to make up for something, she said, "Otherwise, I'll talk to the second aunt and let her tell you how to make incense." The incense made by the second aunt is very famous, and the most famous incense of Ciyuan Temple has been guided by the second aunt, and the formula has been re-improved, and now it is selling well. ”

Eleven Niang didn't want Sister Zhen to beg for her own business. Hurriedly smiled: "Look at me, how can I do business?" Mainly when I got married last time, I gave two bottles of perfume, and I liked it very much, so I started to make my own perfume. And I thought, since I like it, others must like it too. I had the idea of opening a shop. ”

Sister Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "Or, when it is spring, I will help you make perfume at home?" If it doesn't work, ask the second aunt again! ”

Eleven Niang said vaguely: "Now it's so busy." If you think about it, you may not be able to do it. Let's talk about it then! ”

Sister Zhen was right to think about it, and asked about the New Year's Day of Eleven Niang: "...... Do you want me to help? ”

Let's learn how to be a housekeeper together!

"Okay!" Eleven Niang was very welcome, "Let's take a look at the account book together, summarize some things, and have a number in mind when the time comes." If you meet it later, you can also compare it with the one at home. ”

Sister Zhen'er's face was slightly red when she heard this.

Eleven Niang covered her sleeves and smiled.

A little maid ran in: "Master Hou is back!" ”

Eleven Niang was stunned.

I got up and looked at the chiming clock—it was still a quarter of a minute away at noon.

Why did you come back at this time?

She confessed to Sister Zhen and hurriedly greeted her.

As soon as the curtain was lifted out of the door, I saw Xu Lingyi striding through the courtyard towards the main house.

He looked a little tired, but his expression was as calm as usual, and it was impossible to guess his true emotions.

"Master Hou!" Eleven Niang bent her knees to salute him, and Sister Zhen'er, who came out after her, also squatted down.

Xu Lingyi was slightly surprised when she saw Sister Zhen'er.

Eleven Niang hurriedly explained with a smile: "Sister Zhen is older, I want her to help me do some needlework." Mrs. Tai asked her to move to our side temporarily. When the fifth sibling is safe, I plan to find a place for her to move there in the back garden. This matter was decided urgently, and there was no consultation with the Hou Ye......"

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Lingyi had already waved her hand: "You just need to make a decision on these things." Looking at Sister Zhen'er's gaze, there was a little hesitation, as if he didn't know what to say, and after a moment of hesitation, he went straight into the house.
