Xie Zhu began to follow Mrs. Xie when he was young, and he also learned some from him, and when he was older, he saw that Mrs. Xie was working hard, and he also helped deal with some things.

Therefore, it is still very proficient to help check and check the account books, but Xie Yixiao is the first time to do this.

Xie Zhu told her some things to pay attention to, and then analyzed with her the output of each shop operation and grange, and even compared the account books of previous years, Xie Yi looked at the bundle of account books with a smile, blinked, and looked a little blank.

It may be that not long after the establishment of the Dongming Dynasty, the clans of the world were reshuffled, and many clans fell in successive years, and after the establishment of the new dynasty, the new generation of powerful clans quickly accumulated a lot of foundation.

It's like when Gu Qinse got married, he could get so many shops and farms, and even a lot of them have been added over the years, if it is a few decades later, where will there be a chance to hold these shops in his hands, even if he wants to buy them, no one will sell them.

Take the Xie family as an example, even if they offered their family wealth back then, they could still leave these, and after gaining a firm foothold, they would develop again, but it would be thirty years, and compared with that year, it was not bad.

The Xie family has the family's property here, and the personal private property of the main family, some of which are in the imperial city, some are not, and some are even far away in Jiangzhou.

The stewards arrived one after another, and while the two of them helped check the account books, they watched Mrs. Xie receive one after another stewards.

Then I watched the output of each grange come in one by one, and the warehouses were full and crowded, with grains, vegetables and fruits, chickens, ducks, fish, etc., when these things were piled up too much, and it was also close to the New Year.

Mrs. Xie asked the two of them to make a list of New Year's gifts for their relatives, and after reading it, she felt that it was no problem, so she asked people to prepare and send the New Year's gifts to each family.

The rest of the things were handed over to the two girls, let them arrange, keep some in the house, and send the rest to the side branch to divide them for the New Year.

Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu also discussed, planning to divide it according to the population, if there are elderly people and children in the family, they can give more, which is considered a subsidy, plus after Mrs. Xie calculated the family account book, everyone shared a sum of New Year's money, and the side branches of each family had this money, and they could have a good year.

Although it is said that the side branch is not as noble as the grandson, it has a good life compared with ordinary people, children and the elderly have family support, and there is money to take during the New Year's holidays, as well as all kinds of grains, fruits and vegetables distributed by the family.

If you have the ability, the family will support you to get ahead, if you don't have the ability, you will live in peace.

The family has so many shops and granges, but anyone who is more industrious and does something can have a good life.

Xie Yi smiled and sighed, but Xie Zhu said: "Most of them are indeed like this, but there are always some side branches that are not regarded as people by the side branches, and they feel that the side branches are the most noble, and those side branches are just slaves who lift shoes and wash their feet." ”

Xie Zhu said and snorted coldly: "I heard my sister-in-law and her fifth sister say before, where is there something in the side branch, I want to be beautiful, pull you out to do things, and reward you with a bite of food It's already thank God." ”

The two of them had just talked about Wen's, and after a while, she came, and she was relieved to see that the two girls had arranged things in a good manner, and the things had been packed and ready to be sent to the side branch.

As a daughter-in-law, Wen should have assisted her mother-in-law in dealing with these things at this busiest time, but she had only given birth to a child for less than two months, and it was freezing cold, and the family didn't want her to be tired.

This year, Wen took care of her own dowry, and the rest of the rest was resting.

Wen said: "This year is hard for you. ”

Xie Zhu waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, why do you say such a thing, you have to recuperate well and take care of my little nephew, if you want to help, you will be busy in the future." ”

Xie Yi said with a smile: "Where is the hard work, I am here to learn, I didn't understand these before, I will be blind in the future, I will learn this year, I have an experience, and when I encounter things in the future, I know how to do this." ”

Wen laughed: "That little aunt really has to study hard, maybe she will be able to use it next year." ”

Not long ago, the Rongguo Mansion came over to discuss the date of marriage, it is February 12 next year, that day is the Flower Dynasty Festival, the spring flowers are blooming, it is a good season, if nothing goes wrong, in the second half of next year, she should also get married.

Xie Yixiao was not shy, she said: "Then you will also have a helper next year, and when the time comes, my sister-in-law can also take a rest." ”

Xie Zhuo's family affairs went relatively fast, and at the beginning of December, the date of marriage was also set, just in March next year, in March, spring is good, and it is also an excellent season.

When Xie Zhuo was about to marry Jiang Zhaoling, the Wen family inquired about this girl from the Wenxian Marquis Mansion, who had an excellent reputation outside and was also reasonable, and she was Xie Yixiao's cousin, she and Xie Yixiao also got along, and it seemed that they were still relatively easy to get along with.

Wen smiled softly: "That's right, then my mother-in-law will be much more leisurely." ”

It has not been easy for Mrs. Xie to support this family over the years, her mother-in-law is not there, her concubine is gone, and there is no one who can help, so she can only come by herself, her daughter-in-law marries back, and she can raise the next generation well, so she can be much more leisurely.

Xie Yi smiled: "It's cold outside, go back quickly, Ah Zhu and I will go and divide things first." ”

"Okay, be careful on your way."

At this time, there was still some light snow in the sky, not much, and someone had already shoveled snow in the alley from the main house to the side branch, and the ground was clean.

There are subordinates pushing carts in front, Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu walking behind, the two are dressed thickly, holding a stove in their hands to keep warm, and the maid holding an umbrella to shield from the cold wind and the occasional falling snowflakes.

Twenty-four bone oil paper umbrellas, painted with delicate patterns, each fan bone is extremely exquisite, ingenious.

This kind of oil-paper umbrella that can be retracted is also one of the great inventions in the world.

Xie Yixiao raised his eyes to look at the fan bone and talked to Xie Zhu behind him.

Xie Zhu said: "Shouldn't there be a few more people in my aunt's yard?" If you don't get busy, you won't even have a tea and umbrella at that time. ”

When Xie Yixiao had just moved back to Xie's house before, she only brought Mingxin Mingjing and black tea and red yarn, and Mrs. Xie asked her if she wanted to add two, but she refused.

But these days, Hongsha is busy with the affairs of the workshop outside, and the black tea has to guard the door to receive guests, and the people in the yard are indeed a little insufficient.

"Add it, add a few at the beginning of spring next year."
