The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 137 Pampering?

Cao Tan wasn't really angry, it was just the rules in the family.

After all, Liang Mansion is also a wealthy family now.

The reason for punishing Li Qingzhao is absolutely correct.

The reason is simple. Although Li Qingzhao said he was busy all day and night, it was hard work.

But the rules of Liang Mansion cannot be broken.

When Liang Xin returned to Wangxue Residence, Li Qingzhao was standing under the porch with a handkerchief in both hands, carrying the Liang family rules on his back.

Liang Xin looked at it and smiled: "What did you steal this time?"

Li Qingzhao looked aggrieved: "I didn't steal it, it's just..."

Before Li Qingzhao could explain, he heard Cao Tan say: "She won all the money from Jingyu, Shizhen, and Bijun, and even asked them to write down IOUs. She went out nine times and returned thirteen times. I'm afraid that by the end of this year, these three people will All the monthly money is not spent, and it is not enough to pay off the debt. Also, even the jewelry is not spared."

"My family, do you want to be so merciless?"

Liang Xin laughed from ear to ear after hearing this: "Otherwise, limit the bet."

Cao Tan: "These are two different things. Husband, please tell me, if we supplement the money to these three people, it would be unfair to Qingzhao, because we didn't compensate her. If we don't supplement the money, they will even pay for the jewelry. If this is the case, Door, Liang Mansion still wants to be shameless?"

Li Qingzhao quickly said: "If you go out, I will lend them jewelry."

"That's enough." Cao Tan shouted in a low voice: "You don't even know what's wrong with you? If I punish you severely, you will feel resentful and think that Jingyu and Shizhen came into the palace with me. , I am biased towards them, which is unfair to you. If..." Cao Tan started to lecture, but Liang Xin quietly dodged away.

Now Liang Xin knows that it is really not easy to be the head wife of a family.

Take Cao Tan, for example, she has to manage the farm, shop, and workshop at home.He also has to take care of everyone in the backyard, as well as maids, servants, servants, and guards.For example, before time travel, many companies may not have a hundred employees, and all the farms, shops, workshops and homes of the Liang Mansion, plus the people in the Beiyuan.

More than a thousand people.

This is definitely the difficulty of being a CEO.

The most troublesome thing is that it can't make people feel unfair, especially in the backyard.

Liang Xin hid.

No matter how Cao Tan handles it, Cao Tan is the eldest lady of the Liang family and she has the absolute right to speak.

Where is Li Qingzhao?

The rest is not that complicated.

But she did give Cao Tan a headache.

Addicted to gambling, good wine, rocks, antiques, famous paintings...

That’s all the rest.

These first two items are really a headache.

After scolding, Cao Tan said again: "In the palace, the master already loves you very much. Do you think you are pampering you by saying many things?"

Li Qingzhao thought for a while.

It really is so.

Just like last time, I secretly got a few pieces of raw Tao inkstone under the carriage. If this happened in another mansion, it wouldn't be surprising if the concubine would be hung up and beaten.

If it were an ordinary family, even if the head wife dared to do this, she would be at risk of being divorced.

Because those raw Tao inkstones were shipped to the officials.

If this was a crime, the crime would be quite serious.

But when he took it, he was beaten a few times by Cao Tan, and the matter was over.

Also, that bunch of glazed grapes.

It was enough to be hung up and beaten.

and also……

and also……

Cao Tan didn't know that Liang Xin didn't think that much, because Liang Xin didn't understand the rules of the big families in the Song Dynasty, and was still dominated by the thoughts before time travel.It's just that most of the time, Cao Tan decides everything, and he just doesn't ask.

Speaking of the bunch of glazed grapes, Liang Xin also thought that Li Qingzhao had a childish temperament. He secretly hid something he liked and did not think about the rules of a wealthy family at all.Things that Cao Tan didn't know about, Li Qingzhao naturally didn't know either, so he just assumed that Liang Xin really doted on her.

Thinking of this, Li Qingzhao became happy again.

This smile is bad.

Cao Tan stared at Li Qingzhao: "Copy the family rules three times. Regarding the money the three of them owe you, pay back some every month without interest. Pay it back slowly next year. If you play again, you will limit the bets. All jewelry will be returned to them. Okay. Calculate the accounts. From now on, you are not allowed to drink alcohol for ten days, and you will be treated as a punishment. What can I say?"

Li Qingzhao quickly admitted: "No, no, I accept the punishment."

Cao Tan: "Go."

Li Qingzhao returned to Yiyuan and saw Liang Xin sitting in the front hall reading.

What I read was Li Qingzhao's version of "A Dream of Red Mansions" with Liang Xin in charge of telling the story.

Seeing Li Qingzhao entering the room, Liang Xin put a token on the table: "The pass token for the North Campus Warehouse. If you like it, you can register it with the North Campus steward and take it back here for appreciation. It's just for appreciation. I've written it down. It's just Appreciation.”

Li Qingzhao was moved to tears and said: "Remember it, remember it, just for appreciation."

Even if the ownership does not belong to him, Li Qingzhao is extremely happy to be able to take it back and select it for appreciation in the courtyard.

Liang Xin put down the book: "I've been working hard recently, and this book is well written. Just rest."

Li Qingzhao was very happy.

Did Liang Xin indulge herself a little too much? Even Li Qingzhao began to reflect on it.

After leaving the gate of Yiyuan, Liang Zhong got in from the bushes on the side, trotted behind Liang Xin, and whispered: "My lord, I put the bundle of moldy ancient paintings into a big box. Inside, I asked people to move them to the corner. There are also a bunch of inkstones made of unknown materials and where they should be placed, but I can’t figure out where to put them.”

Liang Xin smiled: "Push it outside the house, pile it up when it rains, and pile it up like rotten bricks."

Liang Zhong understood immediately: "I understand, the Lord is wise."

Liang Xin actually thought very simply. In his opinion, Li Qingzhao was just a child who had not grown up. Perhaps because he was a real genius, he was a little willful and naughty.

Instead of asking her to move some things back secretly, it is better to ask her to pick them up openly every time and register them so that you can know what she has moved back.

But speaking of books.

Li Qingzhao is really a genius and his writing is so good.

Books!

At this time, Shanzhou City.

A letter from home has arrived.

Liang Shicheng had a lambskin jacket here. It was already autumn, and it was about to snow over there in Shanzhou. As the eldest lady of the Liang family, Cao Tan had to worry about many things that Liang Xin couldn't worry about.

As for Cao Ping, he also sent a set of Zhang Dun's version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Cao Ping was very happy.

After opening it and reading it, it turns out that Zhang Dun's writing is much more powerful than Cao Tan's version of "The Three Kingdoms".

only……

Why is it only printed to Changbanpo? What happens next?

Cao Ping felt very depressed.

Just because he is not in Bianjing, there is nothing he can do if he wants to go to Liang Mansion.

But someone has a way.

Cao Song is back.

First, he went around the Cao family's big room, second room, own house, fourth room...the eighth room, the ninth room...the third uncle's public room, and the fifth uncle's room, and personally delivered the gifts brought back from the Liao Kingdom one by one.

The Cao family is divided into different houses, not families.

By the way, who wants to separate the family?

The heads of the family are all people with good reputation in the court. If they are separated for a long time, they may become far away from the circle of nobles.
