Those things about the landlady

Chapter 2 Taking the opportunity to teach a daughter
After all, Shu Ran lived in a modern society with democracy and the rule of law, and it was the first time for her to commit murder in public.

Aunt Mei was beaten to pieces again, and the strong smell of blood made her want to vomit.

In front of everyone, she was still able to pretend nothing had happened.

As soon as he returned to his yard, he immediately vomited.

She was pregnant and was extremely sensitive to smells.

I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but I didn't feel that I had done anything wrong.

You should do whatever you are in, but it is the first time you see blood, and it is not easy to hold on.

Seeing her like this, the girls and women hurried forward to serve her.

The servants were all nimble and they were used to serving by her side, but after a while, they were taken care of.

Putting on clean clothes, she sat on a low bed and drank warm water to rinse her mouth.

The doors and windows of the house are wide open, and the smell is not bad anymore.

Shu Ran let out a long breath of stale air, as if she came back to life.

After resting for a while, he turned his head and ordered the maid to show her the account book in the study.

Now that Master Yao is out to collect rent, he won't come back in a few months.

During this period, Shu Ran had to stand firm and firmly grasp the three-acre land of the inner house.

Mother Zhong is the old man in front of Shu Ran, and she feels distressed and worried when she sees that her master is not resting well.

"Madam, you just vomited just now, why do you need to look at the account book again? It's the same for the accountant who throws it to the outer court for those troublesome errands."

Shu Ran frowned and continued to look through the ledger, and said with a bit of a headache:
"If I, the wife in charge, don't have an account in mind, how to take care of the inner house, I thought it was wrong before, and I should bear the responsibility myself. There is no reason to throw it to others. You have to change it."

As the old saying goes, every kind of master is like a kind of slave, Shu Ran still has the arrogance and nobleness of a scholar, and she always feels that she should not let the smoke and fire of mundane things get on her upper body.

She loves to recite poems and paint pictures when she has nothing to do, and she doesn't understand the world at all. Such a headed mistress is rare.

The servants around her are also ignorant, so there is no one who understands to help and persuade her.

When she said this, Mother Zhong only agreed and did not dare to say more.

The ledger is not difficult to understand, but today's ledger is cumbersome and messy, and it takes some effort to sort it out.

But Shu Ran had to focus on this. The inner house was in a bad shape, and the original owner had to bear most of the responsibility.

Although I only watched it for a while, it was full of loopholes, which couldn't be hidden from Shu Ran's sharp eyes.

She suppressed her temper and continued to watch, the concubine's room would stop for a while after beating the concubine's room, and the servants in the mansion would have to clean it up.

Thinking in his head, he didn't put down the account book in his hand. As soon as he looked up, he saw two pretty little girls standing outside the door.

The older one is only about ten years old, and the younger one has just turned five years old. The two sisters, Yuxue and Yuxue, are cute, holding hands, and tilting their heads together to look at Shu Ran.

Unprepared, Shu Ran was poked at the cute spot, her heart was so soft that she couldn't describe her mood at this moment.

She smiled and waved to the two of them, and said softly: "Why are you here now, have you eaten?"

Sister Ning has a gentle temperament, although she is only ten years old, she is already very slim, her facial features are extremely delicate, she replied shyly:
"My sister and I have both eaten, and we haven't seen mother for several days. We panicked, so we came here on our own."

He speaks clearly, and although he looks a little weaker, he is likable.

Sister Xin is not like her elder sister, she let go of her elder sister's hand, ran to her mother's side on short legs, and opened her arms to hug her.

"Mom, I miss you."

Shu Ran couldn't bear to refuse, and pulled her over. When her soft and fragrant body was nestled in her arms, Shu Ran felt her heart melt. She didn't know if it was the remaining emotions of the original owner or some other reason. .

It seemed that in an instant, she experienced the emotions of being a mother.

Close to Sister Xin's face and get close to her, hugged her fleshy body tightly, and patted her little buttocks lightly.

"Mother is sick, and there is a baby in her stomach. I am worried that I will give you the sickness, so I won't let you come here."

Shu Ran explained earnestly, and when her words fell, Sister Ning also came to her side, Shu Ran pulled her to sit beside her, touched her little hand subconsciously, and said with concern:
"Hands are getting colder, and everyone says that spring covers autumn cold. Although it is spring, you should wear more clothes on your body, so as not to catch the wind and cold."

The reason why I haven't seen the two children for so long is that Shu Ran has no idea.

She didn't know how to be a mother, but when she really saw the two children, it seemed that everything should be self-taught.

Sister Ning nodded obediently, "Mother, don't worry, I just washed my hands with cold water, I know all about it, it's only right for you to take care of yourself first, is your body better?"

Seeing her adult-like appearance, Shu Ran chuckled, pinched her face and said:
"Okay mother, don't worry about it."

Sister Ning smiled shyly, pulled Sister Laxin, and said angrily: "Come down quickly, it was agreed before you came, don't make mother too tired."

Although Sister Xin has the temperament of a bully, she still loves others, her small eyes rolled around, and she sat up from Shu Ran's arms in a sensible way, and sat beside her.

It was the first time for Shu Ran to experience the happiness of raising a daughter, and her smiling eyes narrowed into a line.

Sister Ning thought about it and asked:
"Did mother hit Aunt Mei's board today? All the servants in the mansion are spreading the news, and my daughter has also listened to it."

Sister Ning's sudden mention of this made Shu Ran stop laughing.

She pinched Sister Xin's chubby hand, and said indifferently: "It was indeed a beating, but what doubts do Sister Ning have?"

For a ten-year-old child, her own three views have basically formed, and the temperament of the original owner may have some influence on her daughter.

"It's not a doubt. Mother told me earlier that concubines and servants are the most lowly and just ignore them. Why do you want to beat them now?"

Sister Ning is a very smart girl, Shu Ran can tell that she can just take this opportunity to correct the wrong place that the original owner led.

Seriously, he turned to Ning and asked:
"What do you think the mistress of a house should do?"

Shu Ran pointed directly at the core, although Sister Ning is young, she is not ignorant.

On the contrary, many people around her age have already been engaged, and they are also learning to manage the house, and they are not completely ignorant of inner house affairs.

Sister Xin didn't make trouble, and obediently listened to the two of them talking.

Sister Ning said uncertainly: "It's nothing more than serving your husband well and managing your servants well. My mother also said that everything is done by servants. We should read more books to be serious."

Shu Ran smiled helplessly, looked at her daughter solemnly and said:
"It's my mother who said wrong and did wrong before. Recitation of poetry and painting is an elegant thing, but it is not the most important thing. No matter what your status is, you must have the capital to stand firm. The most important thing for a woman is to have money by her side." body, you must have the ability to drive your subordinates, and you must have a city in your heart."

These words can be said to be spoken from the bottom of the heart, but Sister Ning didn't quite understand, her eyes were full of confusion.

Shu Ran lovingly stroked her bun, and said softly, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, mother will teach you a little bit, you can think about it after you go back, come here early tomorrow, and see how mother does it first."

The two sisters are still young, and it is still too late to teach them everything.

"Mom, what about me, sister, don't I need to come over?"

Sister Xin muttered unhappily.

Shu Ran said with a smile: "Our sister Xin can naturally come, but you are just getting started, and you have to study hard with the female teacher."

In order to invite the husband back for the two sisters, Master Yao took great pains. Although Sister Xin is young, she also knows that her studies cannot be neglected.

The mother and daughter were bored for a while, Shu Ran didn't preach too much, only the combination of precepts and deeds is effective, and you can't become fat in one breath.

Sister Ning saw the thick account book on the case table, and knew that her mother had business to do, so she sat down for a while and obediently took her sister and left.

The two sisters live in the same yard, and they have the best relationship, and they have appropriate mother-in-law and girl to take care of them, so Shu Ran doesn't have to worry.

The time passed by looking at the ledger, and before I knew it, it was time to light the lamp, and I probably knew what was going on, so Shu Ran felt suffocated.

The money in the mansion didn't know where it was going, and the purchased items were several times higher than the market price. It was like using her as the head wife as a display, and even the account books were not used as a fake cover.

Shu Ran really didn't like the original owner anymore, she didn't know what to think about being able to live like this and still be so arrogant.

After closing the ledger, Shu Ran couldn't suppress her anger, and said coldly to the girl who was serving her, "Go and ask Butler Wang to come to the study."

Butler Wang was also just busy with the work at hand, and was about to go back to the house to rest, but unexpectedly his wife would look for him.

He couldn't figure out his wife's way, so he didn't dare to waste time, and he was even more respectful when he arrived in the study.

Shu Ran sat on the rose chair in front of the desk, and when she saw someone coming, she said straight to the point:
"Steward Wang, do you know where the deed of prostitution for the servants in the mansion is?"

Steward Wang was a little surprised, and said without much hesitation: "The deeds of sale are all in the master's warehouse. I don't know what the wife wants to do?"

Shu Ran said unhurriedly: "I think you know better than me that there are too many worms in our house. It's time to clean the house."

Steward Wang could understand the meaning of these words. He thought that his wife would punish Aunt Mei with arrogance only because she was pregnant, but now it seems that he was wrong.

Butler Wang said cautiously: "When the master left, he said that as long as the wives and young masters in the mansion are not in danger of their lives, everything is up to the wives."

Although she has never met Master Yao, based on what he said, Shu Ran has a slightly better impression of him.

"Then let's call all the servants who are on duty here tomorrow. We will reward what we deserve and punish us. We will continue to use what we need, and sell what we can't use."

Steward Wang lowered his head when he heard the words, he felt a coercion that the master had once had.

The girls raised by scholars are just different, or no matter what they really want to care about, they are afraid that no one can compare.
