Qin Mingyue couldn't help but nodded: "My sister-in-law and my wife are worthy of being strange women from a big family." Steward, director, this is a good hand. The master has told me many times before that my wife manages the house well. After the master and mother went away, the sister-in-law managed the family affairs, and she was even better than the blue. ”

Hearing Qin Mingyue say this, Mrs. Yang's face couldn't help but smile. got a compliment from his father-in-law, that is the most powerful person in Da Zhou, can you not be happy?

Mrs. Yang said, "Where? I'm just an ordinary housewife. It's just that I'm old in life, and I married into the Shen family after my mother's family, and I've seen a lot of things that have passed, so I learned so little things. Nothing else, this housekeeper is a little careful. Little junior sister is a beginner housekeeper, if there is anything that you can't do, just come and ask me. If you need help, I'm old and it's inconvenient to move, but your eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, Liu, is still a Lisuo person, you can call her over. Or your eldest niece Xingyi, she has been learning from me since she was a child, and she is also a smart person. ”

Qin Mingyue hurriedly thanked her, this was exactly what she needed. She took over the housework of the Qin family, basically relying on Mama Liao and Mama Ma, two personal grandmothers. She herself had no experience as a housekeeper. In her previous life, she had always paid attention to the major affairs of the court, how could she have paid attention to these small things in the inner house, so she didn't even have a reliable person around her, and she easily caused Yin Dye Qiu to be harmed.

Mama Ma and Mama Liao are loyal and diligent, and it is okay to manage some servants. But the housekeeper director, it is a comprehensive and meticulous job, especially the noble family, which involves many things in the officialdom and many things in the shopping mall. How could the two of them, who did not leave the house, know so carefully?

This really needs to be taught by the housekeepers and wives of the mansions. In fact, Qin Mingyue herself also has a mother and grandmother, and she has been the Duchess of Liguo before and after. However, it goes without saying that grandmother was a very failure, and it can be said that Liguo Gong has today's fiasco, and she has a great responsibility. His mother, Mrs. Yin, was only blindly afraid of her husband, and pulled things to her own small treasury, how could she have the insight and talent of a housekeeper?

Therefore, Qin Mingyue was really worried about this. Now that Mrs. Yang has said such things, can she not be happy? Needless to say, Mrs. Yang was a housekeeper who even Shen Guoshi praised. It is Shen Xingyi, the ability to do things and the ability to be a housekeeper in his previous life, Qin Mingyue has seen it personally, and he is very envious, according to Shen Xingyi, the wife of the prince, Liu, is also a middle-ranking person. With these three people to guide you, are you afraid that you won't be able to learn?

Qin Mingyue is a person with a very strong sense of action, and when she got Mrs. Yang's words, she immediately asked a few questions from the housekeeper, and when Mrs. Yang heard it, these were the basic common sense of the housekeeper, but Qin Mingyue didn't understand it at all. It can be seen that her mother, the Duchess of Liguo, Mrs. Yin, did not teach at all. However, she had long heard that Mrs. Yin's blind petty family spirit was probably not true. It is also difficult for Qin Mingyue, a little girl, to have to shoulder the great responsibility of the prosperity of the family on her shoulders at a young age, which is really pitiful.

Mrs. Yang naturally instructed Qin Mingyue very wholeheartedly, and said it in great detail, which made Qin Mingyue suddenly open.

Qin Mingyue said happily: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for knowing." It turned out that my previous plan was wrong. It's really interlaced like a mountain. This steward's knowledge is too great. In the future, I will have to trouble my sister-in-law and Mrs. Shizi, and the stars will move them. ”

Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "A little thing, why worry about it." Say it whenever you need it. ”

Speaking of which, Mrs. Yang suddenly remembered the second thing she had asked Qin Mingyue to do. He opened his mouth and said, "Little junior sister, when you come over today, I have one more thing to ask you." ”

Qin Mingyue hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law has something to do, just tell me." ”

Mrs. Yang became more and more kind: "Actually, it's not a big deal. It was our Shen family who was going to set off for overseas business in the spring. However, the days of the fleet's voyage every year, the routes, etc., were all calculated by the old lady herself. There are a lot of things going on this year, and the old lady has never had time to make good calculations. Originally, the old lady said that it would not be too late to go to sea in late spring and early summer after this period of time. However, the old lady suddenly retreated again. ”

"The old lady is in retreat, and we can't go to the Star Picking Tower to find someone, seeing that time has passed, we are afraid of delaying this year's caravan voyage. There's really no way to do it. I want to ask the little sister to bring a letter to the old lady, and ask him to take the time to calculate a day. ”

When Qin Mingyue heard this, she smiled: "Isn't this year too busy?" Previously, the master accepted me as an apprentice to hold a ceremony of apprenticeship, and later, he wanted to teach me that it was easy to relax for two days, and then I could do divination, and the master went into retreat again. Isn't that just a delay? ”

"However, I am afraid that I will not be able to do this request of my sister-in-law. This retreat is very important, and you can't be disturbed when you are free. The dissatisfied sister-in-law said that the master had no way to deal with the state affairs during this period of time. I'll take care of it. It's the Queen Mother of Great Xia a few days ago, and the master can't get out of such a big thing. How can I be deducted for this? Besides, this divination route and date are not a matter of one or two days, at least three to seven days, how can the master be free? ”

As soon as Qin Mingyue said this, Mrs. Yang couldn't help but show a disappointed look on her face: "Hey, I guessed that was the case." If it weren't for the fact that this retreat was very important, some time ago, the Queen Mother of Great Xia died, which was a major event that shocked the whole world, why didn't the old lady get out of the customs? Such a big event can't alarm God, how can this little thing in our family's business alarm the old lady? ”

"There is no way, this year's sea trade can only stop. Missed the early summer season, and by midsummer or late summer, there are more and more typhoons at sea, and the risk of maritime trade is also greater. It's really not suitable to go to sea. Ay. It's a pity that this year's business has been. ”

Qin Mingyue saw the disappointment on Mrs. Yang's face, and roughly calculated in her heart, this one-year stop of sea trade is more than three million taels of silver. With such a big profit, anyone will be sad. This Mrs. Yang is a good person, but she is just disappointed. Ordinary people are estimated to have vomited blood.

Qin Mingyue looked at the disappointed Mrs. Yang and couldn't help but say, "It's not that I can't go to sea, I have an idea." ”

When Mrs. Yang heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head and ask, "What is the idea of the little junior sister?" ”

Qin Mingyue smiled slightly: "I'll do the divination for my sister-in-law." ”

Mrs. Yang was dumbfounded.
