Lucky Star Gao Zhao

Chapter 791

She knows how Zheng sees the Hou family's sister-in-law, but what can she do?
She never took it to heart.

Marrying into the Hou family, she treats this as a business, each takes what she needs, and it is her duty to teach her stepson and stepdaughter, and it is also necessary for her to live in Anshun for the rest of her life.

The person in the next room is just handling business, and there is no affection or family relationship.

The eldest son of the Hou family is Hou Bingxiu's branch. His parents passed away, and the second son is Hou Haishuan. His original spouse is gone, and he gave birth to two legitimate sons. The eldest son is Hou Yanting's father, Hou Binggui.

After marrying his stepwife Qian, he gave birth to a son and a daughter. Without a concubine, there was no concubine.

Hou Binggui gave birth to two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter is already married. The eldest son is 16 years old and has not yet engaged. The second daughter is Hou Yanting, who is 14 years old. It is reasonable to be engaged. Because of filial piety, there are still two years left.

The few times Zheng took Hou Yanting out were only a few relatives' homes, and she didn't show up on festivals or other people's family celebrations.

Hou Binggui graciously followed Mrs. Zheng back to the room, and poured the tea himself and handed it over.

Mrs. Zheng took it and thanked the master, Hou Binggui smiled and said: "Wu Niang is tired, pouring a cup of tea for my husband is nothing."

Zheng Shi smiled and lowered his head to drink tea.

Hou Binggui looked at her with satisfaction, and was so satisfied with marrying Zheng, she was the girl in his dream when he was young.

Gentle, elegant, soft-spoken, whispering at night is even more distressing.

I used to be afraid to move out of the ancestral house, but now I think, it’s good to move out, I am the eldest son of the second house, my father and stepmother don’t care about things, and now everything is up to me.

In the past, it wasn't that I was incompetent, or that I had no chance. Now that I've moved out, isn't it good?
Mrs. Zheng drank the tea, and Hou Binggui took it and put it on the table.

"I went to see the concubine today, and I said that I would go to pay my respects to the concubine after the master recovered. The concubine said that the master has worked hard to take care of such a big family. He is filial to his parents, loves his brothers, and his children are well-behaved and obedient. This is the master. thanks to

Hou Binggui said modestly: "Where is it, I am the eldest son, so I should."

I think so in my heart, and I still think, let's see, the old concubine understands and sees problems clearly.

Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "My lord, I wanted to ask the lord for help today, but unfortunately the lord is not here. I asked the lord if there are any good shopkeepers in his shops, and I can help introduce one so that I can add a helper to the lord. The concubine said , Baoshan sixteen, just learned how to do things from the master, I said how good it is, Baoshan is a son of an official family, and the concubine said, Prince Qing is still a prince, and he doesn't work as a businessman himself, and he doesn't know anything about his property. I understand, what are you talking about. The concubine blushes when she said this, the old concubine is wise, and the concubine thinks so much better than the old man does."

Hou Binggui supported Zheng's shoulders with both hands and comforted: "Wu Niang is very good, my mother praised Wu Niang yesterday, saying that she brought soup to parents and mother every day, and was kind to her younger siblings. Wu Niang is a housewife, how can she know about those things outside? Concubine Tai is right, Baoshan is getting bigger, it's time to learn something, don't worry, no one will say Wu Niang, it's my idea, how can a man ignore everything? He is my eldest son, and the family will depend on him in the future. If things go on like this, how can I rest assured that I will hand over my home to him?"

Mrs. Zheng touched his hand and said: "The master understands people. The concubine said that there is nothing to worry about if the master brings Baoshan and kisses the father and son. Master, this family has worked hard for the master, and the concubine is also blessed. I can marry the master. I have someone to rely on for the rest of my life."

Hou Binggui embraced Mrs. Zheng, and Mrs. Zheng nodded: "Don't worry, I have you."

Early the next morning, Hou Binggui called his son Hou Baoshan, and asked him to follow the housekeeper to get acquainted with the second-family property. Seeing his son's reluctance, he immediately slapped him.

"Prince Qing also manages the shop himself. You are more expensive than the prince? Whose property is it? If you are not my eldest son, and your surname is not Hou, I will let you know how much your property is? How much? How much did you spend yourself? Did these fall from the sky? If you don’t have these properties, you’ll have to see if the sky blows if you go to drink the northwest wind?”

After Hou Binggui finished reprimanding, Hou Baoshan walked out dejectedly, but saw his younger sister standing at the door with an excited face.

"Brother, I'll be with you."

Hou Baoshan opened his mouth and reprimanded: "Women don't stay in the house, why run around?"

"Is it a fool to stay in the house? Why did Meng's mother move three times?"

Hou Baoshan choked, looked at his younger sister who was getting better and better at talking, and flung his sleeves away.

If it was before, Hou Yanting would just cover her face and run back to the house crying, not going out for a few days.

Now that I have the guts and I can speak, I feel a little despised for my elder brother for some reason.

Today, her mother asked her to familiarize herself with the Hou family's property with her brother. Hou Yanting was very excited. It happened that she also wanted to know how much the second room's property was, and whether the accounts in the hands of the aunts could be matched.

She knew that her aunts secretly said that her mother was embezzling by taking charge of the Hou family, but she believed in her heart that her mother would not do this. For some reason, she felt that her mother would not think so and just focus on that little property.

My mother said that if she was a man, she would never stay in the four corners of the inner house. The world is so big, she would go everywhere.

At that time, Hou Yanting thought in her heart, this is the four quarters of the inner house, I still don't understand, how did I live in the past?

Cousin Danruo said that when she was less than ten years old, her mother let her take care of the accounts in her own yard, how many servants she had, how much she paid each month, how she spent the money given by the office every month, and received gifts. One bookkeeping.

Hou Yanting thought that she used to be in charge of her own mother, and that was left to her mother. She asked her what she wanted, whether she had enough money every month or not, and her own mother didn't know, so she had to ask her mother around her.

But now she sees that the second aunt and the third aunt are keeping accounts by themselves, so why do they say that the mother is a good woman who never touches these mundane things?
Hou Yanting has a feeling of being cheated, and she thinks more about the second-home property.

Seeing her brother's unearthly appearance, Hou Yanting was angry and followed him angrily.

In the accounting room, the housekeeper and the accountant were all introduced by the head of Changhua County after they moved out. The previous accountant and housekeeper were also staffed by the big house.

After a while, Hou Binggui and Mrs. Zheng also came in. Hou Binggui said to his son and daughter, "Your mother loves you so much that you have to come along. It's good to pour some tea. You have to work hard so that your mother can rest assured."

Hou Yanting thanked him, Hou Baoshan was silent, and Hou Binggui gave him a dissatisfied look.

Zheng Shi said: "To cause trouble for the master, the concubine will not disturb the master's work while grinding the ink."

"My wife has worked hard, and I have to bother my wife with these mundane things."

The accountant bowed his head and suppressed a smile, and the wife knew every account without reading the account book. Paying these mundane things?
When Mrs. Zheng got married, the Hou family only knew that she was from Wucheng County and had run a business. After she took over the Hou family property, she sent people to do things, and she didn't go out most of the time. The Hou family thought she was just looking at the account books. After checking the accounts, Hou Binggui thought that Mrs. Zheng was a weak and delicate woman. Even if there was business in the past, it was her cousin who helped her and was in charge. Mrs. Zheng was a housewife who collected money at home.

It's not surprising that the inner house can be taken care of. All the houses are taken care of by the mistress. In the past, Yan Ting's mother was there, so the house was fine?Just let the servants do things.

How did Hou Binggui know about those outside, but now he is full of masculinity, he has done a few things and found it easy, and he started to take care of his son again.

It has long been forgotten that he also opposed his son's contact with these mundane things.

　It was still past twelve.Good night.
