Chapter 123: Find a Flat Wife for Him
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! After a few days, An Xiuer felt that the little girls who were serving beside her had been replaced by someone else, of course, Banxia was still the same Banxia as before.
She guessed that these girls must be the ones Zhang Zhenan exchanged for reading the account book for her, so she opened Banxia, closed the door, and then took out the account book and flipped through it slowly.
"Madame, let's take a look at it for you." A little girl really spoke.
"This ledger was given to me by the old lady, so it's not appropriate to show it to you." An Xiu'er was still a little uneasy, so she had to test them.
"Madame, don't worry, it was the uncle who asked us to come over." A little girl bowed down and smiled.
An Xiu'er nodded kindly, "There are a lot of ledgers in the box, you can take them by yourself, be careful, don't lose them." ”
"We know." Several girls replied in unison.
One of the older girls bowed to An Xiu'er and took the account books, and then gave them to the other girls.
An Xiu'er asked them to clean up the desk in the house, and let them sit opposite each other in pairs, and sit on this desk and flip through the account book.
A few girls are worthy of the people specially sent by Zhang Zhen'an, they quickly entered the state, and looked very seriously, An Xiuer also watched from the side, because of looking at these account books, she knew that there were so many treasures in this world.
What East China Sea pearl necklace, Western Wilderness agate bracelet, Burmese jade pendant, the price on it also amazed her, just one piece of jewelry, enough for them to eat for several lifetimes.
An Xiuer always felt constrained in the Zhang family, and she didn't spend much money on weekdays, and she still had some cheap self-esteem in her bones, and she didn't want the Wu family to look down on her, but after turning over these account books, she realized that no matter how high she was, in the eyes of the Wu family, she was just a little sparrow, and the gap between her and her life was too far.
In the past, she thought that the life of rich people was to eat big fish and meat casually every day, wear silk and satin casually, and be rich with gold ornaments, but now she realized that she was very wrong, their lives are unimaginable to her, maybe a small hosta is worth a fortune.
An Xiu'er couldn't help but look at her packing box, and she didn't know if there was anything particularly valuable in it, she had to be careful in the future, if it was broken, she couldn't afford to pay for it.
She touched the simple silver hairpin on her head, and was a little glad that she insisted on only inserting this silver hairpin, otherwise, she would feel so stressed if she was carrying a few hundred taels of silver on her head.
In the past, she felt that each of the Zhang family's dishes was very small, but now she knows that although it is few, the price of these dishes is too expensive, and she said that the pastry that Zhang Zhenan asked her to make a few days ago costs dozens of taels of silver for the materials alone, and I heard that the process requires more than a dozen.
She won't dare to eat it next time.
Especially the furnishings in her house, each piece is extremely precious, and she feels that she will try not to take it in the future, otherwise she really can't afford to pay if she is beaten.
Zhang Zhen'an said that this account book is a condensed Zhang family, An Xiu'er read the more account books, the more she felt that this was the case, she from this account book, a preliminary peek into the life of the Zhang family, because of this, she was worried in her heart, every time she saw the Wu family, she didn't dare to pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of her as before, but respectfully saluted her, and there was an inexplicable fear in her heart.
Because of this fear, she felt more and more that there was a kind of nobility in Wu's body, and of course, this nobility was piled up with vulgar gold and silver.
Being in this big mansion, she couldn't help but be imperceptibly influenced by them, and moved closer to them with every move, as if she had lost her aura.
Gradually, she also began to wear gorgeous clothes, comb complicated buns, behave politely, advance and retreat, but in just a few months, she was very different from when she first came.
In the blink of an eye, summer turned to autumn, the leaves on the trees turned from green to yellow, and gradually fell.
Of course, this is thanks to these girls, following them, An Xiuer has learned a lot.
Originally, she didn't understand anything, but after reading this box of account books, she not only had a preliminary understanding of these food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also knew a little about the Zhang family's personal contacts, after all, the Zhang family's gift list was recorded in these account books.
In order to embarrass her, the Wu family asked the housekeeper to give her all the account books of the Zhang family in the past two years, but she didn't expect that she would learn a lot from it.
She even found a lot of things wrong from it, and let Zhang Zhenan grab some of some people's pigtails.
In the past, An Xiuer didn't know a lot of words, but after reading these account books, she basically knew all the words, and her mental arithmetic was even more powerful.
Among them, she also found that her learning ability is very good, she learns things very quickly, usually able to draw inferences, she is even better at grasping details, discovering more and many things, among which there are several false accounts, all of which she found.
Originally, she just wanted to be a shopkeeper, and handed over the account book to these maids to see, and then she thought that anyway, even if she embroidered flowers for a lifetime, she couldn't afford to buy a piece of furniture in this house, and she couldn't afford to buy a piece of jewelry in her jewelry box, so it was better to learn some skills for the time being, embroidery she already knew, where to go is not afraid of starvation, and then learn to read the account book, it is also one more means of life, if she really takes care of the house in the future, she will not be helpless.
Later, she followed these maids to read the account books, and later, she also reviewed all the account books that these maids had seen, and it took more than two months like this.
The more she understands the Zhang family, the more she suffers from gains and losses, I heard that all big families have three wives and four concubines, like Zhang Zhenan's younger brother, I don't know how many concubines, how many girls in the room, and the outer room outside has a lot of them, fortunately, Zhang Zhenan will come back every night, if he doesn't go home that night, she can't help but think about it.
On the one hand, she comforted herself that it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, anyway, she was a lady and a main house, but on the other hand, she didn't want to share him with anyone.
But she didn't share him, and others would say that she was jealous, like Wu's, and called her over in private and beat her several times, and she skipped it every time.
In the past, when she was in the countryside, everyone was monogamous, and there were few people with three wives and four concubines, but here it was different, and the people here forced her to give him to others.
In the past, Wu called her over, and she said that she wanted to read the account book and was not in the mood to take a concubine for him, but now that the account book has also been read, she has no reason to delay.
On the way to deliver the account book, An Xiuer was very worried, now she is not afraid of Wu's other troubles for her, not afraid of her finding things to do for her, in her eyes, difficulties are like springs, if you are strong, it will be weak, if you are weak, it will be strong, if Wu will show her the other account books of the Zhang family, she will feel happy, she can find more things from the account book, and she can also help Zhang Zhen'an.
So she wasn't afraid of her trouble, but she was afraid that she would divert her mind elsewhere.
I still remember that before I left the cabinet, Liang always told her how difficult it was to be someone else's daughter-in-law, An Xiuer couldn't understand it at the time, and later married Zhang Zhen'an, and no one took care of it, she just needed to coax him well, let him eat and dress well, but now it's different, she also has an extra mother-in-law above her, although Wu's mother-son relationship with Zhang Zhen'an is average, but Wu's still seems to be a Buddha on her head.
Before she knew it, she came to Wu's courtyard, although there was no morning and dusk, but she was also very familiar with this courtyard.
As soon as the little girl saw her this time, without any delay, she immediately went in to report, she lived in Zhang's house for several months, and these subordinates saw that she still occupied the title of a big lady and was not driven away, and their attitude towards her slowly changed, and they respected her more than before.
Soon the maid came out to invite An Xiu'er in, An Xiu'er walked in a cloth, followed by two small men carrying boxes, and when she saw Wu's, An Xiu'er made a salute, and then stood aside.
"Have you read all these ledgers?" When An Xiu'er came in, the maid informed her, and the Wu family naturally knew An Xiu'er's intention.
"Hmm." An Xiu'er nodded and said, "I have written down some problems in this book." ”
This time, An Xiuer did not write all the errors in the ledger as she did last time, but wrote a part.
Wu flipped through it casually, and couldn't help but be angry on his face, there was also a place for manipulation in the account books of the previous months, not to mention the two years, and the mistakes of the two years were piled up, even if An Xiuer had hidden some of them, but there were still a lot of omissions.
Besides, An Xiu'er today is not the same as two months ago, she didn't understand anything two months ago, and two months later, she read these account books, she understood a lot, and found more mistakes, full of thick stacks.
Wu Shi was angry, but after brushing over the ledger, her anger quickly disappeared, she threw the notebook on the table, and said lightly: "It seems that you are really suitable for doing this, I underestimate you." ”
"Mother praised it falsely, and it took me a lot of effort to read these account books." An Xiu'er hurriedly said.
"You're doing a great job." Wu reiterated it again.
An Xiu'er said: "Thank you mother for your praise, is there anything else you need my help with?" I am willing to help my mother share her worries and read the account books. ”
"You don't need to look at the ledger." Wu Shi waved her hand lightly, signaling them to carry the ledger down, her nose was sensitive, although there was incense in the room, but when the box was opened, the faint musty smell emitted from the ledger still made her very uncomfortable.
The maid sensed her discomfort, so she opened the incense burner and fanned it gently, so that the incense burned faster.
Wu Shi felt that there was no more unpleasant smell in the house, so he spoke: "But you want to help me share my worries, which makes me happy, and now I am worried about one thing." ”
"What's the matter?" An Xiu'er asked casually.
"Naturally, it's my son's heir." Wu Shi glanced at her coldly and said; "My son is not young, he is already a year old, others have already had children under their knees, you have been married to my son for so long, and I don't see you pregnant, if you can't have a child, I think you should have asked others to give birth to a child for my son as soon as possible."
An Xiu'er was speechless when she heard this.
"Why don't you speak? Don't want to? Wu Shi looked down at her, and there was some mockery in his tone.
An Xiu'er simply raised her head and said, "Yes, I don't want to." ”
"Don't want to? Aren't you familiar with the female ring, you must know the rule of the seven, one of the seven is jealousy. Wu played with her cardamom-painted nails, her fingers were round and shiny, and they were so well maintained that they did not look like the fingers of a woman in her forties or fifties.
"I understand your thoughts, you must be unwilling, so I specially found a candidate for you." Wu clapped her hands, and Ye Jingshu walked out from behind the curtain, she saluted with great manners, and then stepped aside obediently.
"My son is a responsible person, it's not realistic for me to let him divorce you, but it's no problem to find a flat wife for him, I just want to ask you now, are you willing?" Wu's goal is like electricity.
An Xiu'er lowered her head, already in a state of confusion: "Why do you have to ask me about this, you should ask the person concerned." ”
"You're his wife, and it's up to you to arrange this." Wu said.
"When he agrees, my husband will be my wife, and I can't make a decision for him." An Xiuer replied with her head buried in her head.
"I thought you had become honest during this time, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Wu's voice was cold, and he said, "Do you think that if you don't agree, the matter will not be done?" ”
