It turned out that Aunt Zhou was already summoning the next steward, and it happened to be the steward of the needlework room.

"Thank you, Aunt Zhou." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly and sat up straight.

can do this account, make this account like this, needless to say that the manager of this sewing room is Qian's henchman.

The steward of the needlework room was a mother-in-law surnamed Wang, and after entering the door, he saluted Aunt Zhou above: "The old slave has seen Aunt Zhou." ”

"Mama Wang, why does the needlework room only have one year's account books, and this year's account books are only a few months, and some of the old accounts of the previous year should not have been eliminated, right?" Aunt Zhou came up and asked straight to the point.

"Returning to my aunt, there are indeed some accounts that have not been eliminated last year, but the previous lady's meaning, there are not many accounts that have not been eliminated, so I will take them back first, if there are accounts that need to be eliminated, just go to Mrs. and write them off directly." The sewing room manager said with a smile, and his words were very smooth, and he was prepared at first glance.

"I'm afraid this doesn't make sense?" Aunt Zhou said coldly.

"Aunt Zhou, the old slave also knows that it is not in line with reason, but this is ...... Isn't that what Madame meant? If Aunt Zhou feels that something is wrong, she can send someone to ask Mrs. for it. Mama Wang said unhurriedly, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, but she was just an aunt who bought her body to bury her father and entered the house, and she really thought that she was the master of the house.

Seeing the disdain in the eyes of the needlework housekeeper, Aunt Zhou's face showed anger, and she patted the account book in front of her: "Mama Wang, what I am asking about you now is." ”

"Aunt Zhou, the old slave answered his own business, but this matter is related to Mrs., you can't say that the old slave should help Aunt Zhou ask for it, right?"

Mama Wang said disapprovingly, and spread her hands to show that she was powerless: "Madam is the master of the house, and the old slave is just a slave, where can I do this kind of thing for my aunt." ”

This was said very innocently, and he stabbed Aunt Zhou again, saying that Aunt Zhou was just a minion.

Someone in the hall was already chuckling lowly.

Aunt Zhou's gaze swept to the bottom of the hall, and the laughter stopped.

"Mama Wang, do you think I shouldn't ask Madame for the account book?" Aunt Zhou said word by word.

"This is not the old slave who can be the master, the lady is the master, the aunt is in charge of things now, the old slave and the others are all subordinates, where do you dare to say such things." Mama Wang continued, "But Madame is Madame after all, and Madame is the first person in the backyard in this mansion. ”

This is another stab at Aunt Zhou.

Yu Xijiao saw clearly that the housekeeper of the needlework room surnamed Wang should have been sent by the Qian family to deliberately find fault, just looking at the neatness of her words and the lukewarm ridicule in her words, she understood that this was the Qian family's disadvantage to Aunt Zhou.

If Mama Wang's affairs are not handled properly, there may be more people who disobey Aunt Zhou's arrangement in the future.

If the steward doesn't suppress these people on the first day, more people will slack off in the future, how can they manage the house well?

The slender fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, causing Aunt Zhou to turn around.

"Aunt Zhou, I don't know if I can ask Mama Wang a few words?" Yu Xijiao picked up the tent in front of her and asked politely.

Aunt Zhou took a deep breath, of course she knew that she couldn't be angry at this time, let this dog slave say it first, and it seemed to sound very reasonable, she also understood that the mother-in-law in front of her was a thorn, and she would have to press this thorn on her first day today.

It's best if the three girls can help.

"Third girl, please." Smiling slightly, Aunt Zhou said slowly, the third girl has given herself enough face, and she should grasp this advantage even more.

"The surname is Wang, right?" Yu Xijiao looked this capable mother-in-law up and down and beckoned to her.

Seeing that it was Yu Xijiao who asked, the look on Mama Wang's face became a little solemn, yesterday's incident was in front of her, even Madame had to retreat, and she didn't have the courage to bump into the third girl.

Mama Xi didn't say that the third girl would also come over to take care of things, and she had a faint bad feeling in her heart inexplicably.

"Old slave...... It is indeed surnamed Wang...... I've seen three girls...... And big girls. Mama Wang cautiously stepped forward to salute the two girls.

"Mama Wang is polite, how many years has Mama Wang been in charge of the sewing room?" Yu Xijiao asked quietly, smiling softly.

At first glance, it looks extremely harmless, but Mama Wang doesn't dare to peep.

"The old slave has been in charge of the needlework room for more than ten years."

"That's in my mother's hands?" Yu Xijiao raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, it was still ...... Mrs. Xie promoted the old slave. Mama Wang said vaguely, everyone in the house knows that Mrs. Xie is the most disliked to mention the previous Mrs. Xie.

"Is my mother's account book still at that time?" Yu Xijiao asked curiously.

"After so many years, those unused account books are long gone, and the sewing room managed by the old slave is not like the shop outside, the account book of that kind of shop is real, and some will be kept after many years." Mama Wang said with a smile.

Yu Xijiao smiled and stopped talking, but looked up and down at Mama Wang again, this kind of gaze was like substance, and Mama Wang's whole body was cold, and her smile stiffened.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Mama Wang stood uncomfortably here, and her hand that fell to the side was put down and clenched, which was much more difficult than asking her to reply.

Finally, Yu Xi's soft voice came from above: "Since Mama Wang is an old man in this mansion and has been in charge of the sewing room for so many years, she should know all the affairs in the sewing room." ”

"That'...... It's nature. A very simple sentence made Mama Wang a little afraid to answer, and deliberately left a way back for herself, and answered a lot more lively, "But...... If something is too small...... Old Slave ...... The old slave may not remember clearly. ”

I always feel that the three girls sitting on it make her heart sad.

"Just ask about the last few months." Yu Xijiao flipped through the account book, "The new clothes that the eldest sister did before, Mama Wang should remember, right?" It's a lot of money. ”

"The old slave remembers this." As soon as she heard that she was asked about this matter, a big stone in Mama Wang's heart fell to the ground, and Mama Xi had told her about it before, saying that she might inquire about this matter, and she was not afraid to check it.

"What is recorded here are several sets of clothes made for the eldest sister, some matching embroidery and accessories, and some expenses related to clothes."

Yu Xi said slowly: "There are so many things, more than anyone else in the mansion, even the second sister can't compare." ”

"Madame has always been kind to the eldest girl." Mama Wang hurriedly said.

"No matter how grace you are, you can't be graced like this, look at these expenses, they are more than Mrs. and the second sister, it's really not true, are there such examples to be found in previous years?" Yu Xijiao lightly picked her eyes and asked.

"In previous years, there were indeed becoming, every year the eldest girl would make some good clothes, and the lady said that since the eldest girl likes these, she let the sewing room do it as usual, and she can't be wronged by the eldest girl."

Mama Wang smiled, her expression relaxed.

"When you were making clothes, the eldest sister was not in the house, and I don't know who the amount of this clothes is?" Yu Xi sneered suddenly, and his face sank.

"The sewing room has the sizes that several masters have measured before, and they can make clothes directly." Mama Wang reacted quickly.

"After all these months, you're sure that this dress fits?" Yu Xijiao asked sharply, a boudoir woman like Yu Zhuqing, I haven't seen her for a few months, and the changes are also large, and she will generally measure her body on the spot when she makes clothes, and the previous size may not fit.

"...... It used to be like this, and the big girls all fit. Mama Wang subconsciously defended.

"So, this is how you all made clothes for your eldest sister before?" Yu Xijiao didn't allow Mama Wang to think too much, and said aggressively.

"Big girl...... If it's not in the house, it's the size before, and if it's in the house...... Just measure it on the spot. Mama Wang stammered and became uneasy.

"Such expensive clothes, costing so much, more expensive than anyone's clothes, but in the end, it is your clothes that are made according to the previous size, how dare a little needlework steward be as negligent?"

Yu Xijiao sneered in her heart, saying that the clothes specially made for the eldest sister were clearly the clothes specially made for Yu Yuxi, and they were all in the name of the eldest sister, all the benefits were obtained by Yu Yuxi, but the last reputation was a bad eldest sister, the Qian family was so calculating, and he really put people in it.

Mama Wang was stunned when she was asked, but she reacted quickly, immediately wiped away her tears, and said: "What does the third girl mean by this, isn't it that the eldest girl has an opinion on the old slave?" The old slave just did things according to the rules, and the eldest girl was not there when she was making clothes, and the previous size used was also the meaning of the house. ”

"What do you mean? Whose mean exactly? "Since Yu Xijiao asked, she won't let this mother-in-law go simply.

"Yes...... It is the meaning of the lady. "Mama Wang is also anxious, which of these clothes are worth a lot of money, and where can she afford a little mother-in-law.

But she is not afraid, this is all the meaning of the lady, no matter how powerful the third girl is, she is just a girl who has not come out of the cabinet, how can she understand this.

"Get on your knees!" Yu Xijiao said coldly.

Everyone was stunned, many people guessed that Aunt Zhou would be powerful today, but they didn't expect that it was the third girl who was powerful, and they were shocked for a while.

Mama Wang looked left and right, this would also be annoying, she didn't kneel down and even straightened her neck, her face turned red: "Three girls, the slave maid has been in the house for so many years, seriously, there has never been an accident, why did the three girls come up and punish the old slave, everything the old slave did was documented, and she was not greedy, let alone did anything wrong, why did the third girl come up and deal with the old slave like this." ”

Mama Wang has been in charge of the needlework room for so many years, and she is also a decent person in the Xuanping Hou Mansion, and she thinks that even if her wife sees her, she is smiling, where is it the turn of a yellow-haired girl to point her fingers and feet, and let herself kneel in public, which makes her old face where to rest.

Although she was taboo with Yu Xijiao before, she was not really afraid, and she couldn't bear it anymore after seeing that Yu Xijiao kept picking on her thorns, and she was ashamed and angry......
