in charge

The fourth grandma Jiang Suxin came out from the wife's room, and the eldest maid Baozhu followed her to the outside of the courtyard, looked at the people around, and then asked in a low voice, "Did grandma tell the wife?"

"My wife is throwing things and getting angry because Sanniang is going out. I'm too busy trying to persuade her, so I don't dare to mention it. After a few days, I will talk about it when my wife is in a better mood." Jiang Suxin thought of her mother-in-law's order, and she was not too willing. , but it doesn't work if you don't listen.

In fact, as far as she was concerned, there was absolutely no need for her mother-in-law to target Sanniang over such trivial matters.The biggest wish of a woman is to marry a good family.And the master is seriously ill, so it is not a matter of the mother-in-law's words to whom Sanniang will be promised.The mother-in-law should give in to Sanniang in small matters, and coax her along, so as not to make Sanniang be extremely careful in everything now.If things go on like this, I'm afraid the marriage won't be easy, and there will be chaos.

Jiang Suxin's natal mother is also the wife of the wife, and she treats her concubine sisters and brothers with much better skills.Neither let them threaten the status of their own children, nor let outsiders have the opportunity to make irresponsible remarks.

Compared with her mother, her mother-in-law's way of dealing with Sanniang was too impatient and impatient.

Sometimes, Jiang Suxin would think, maybe it was the concubine who supported the right, and the mother-in-law was afraid of the legitimate Sanniang, and felt that she was already inferior to Sanniang, so after taking control of the property of the Qiu family, she had to win over this grand lady in all matters, big or small. The lady is satisfied.

"Grandma, have we gone back?" Baozhu asked.

"..." Jiang Su was silent for a while, "No, go to the warehouse and have a look."

After all, at the moment, don't risk your favored status, and do what your mother-in-law wants for now.Anyway, we all know that although she also has a key to the warehouse, it is still her mother-in-law who makes the big decisions.If you make trouble, you can't make trouble on your own head.

The warehouse of the inner house of the Qiu Mansion houses all kinds of valuables, ranging from a red coral screen of ten thousand taels of gold to a small gold and jade wine cup.Unless it has been rewarded by the master and wife, it must be taken out of the warehouse and brought back intact.

In the first lunar month, Fourth Aunt borrowed a set of emerald and pearl heads back to her mother's house, but when she sent them back, she was missing a large pearl worth 300 taels.The wife asked the aunt to post her own money to make up for it.The fourth aunt secretly gave Qiniang the money, but she couldn't find 300 taels, so she had to help her own silk shop to embroider.It's still counting.

As soon as he entered the high-walled compound where the warehouse was located, several ladies in charge greeted him, kneeling on their knees and calling him Fourth Grandma.

Jiang Suxin asked them to get up and sit in the hall next to the warehouse.The little girl handed her the fragrant tea, and she took a sip leisurely.

"Fourth grandma wants random checks?" Besides the master, the oldest one here is Mrs. An's daughter-in-law, known as Anshun's daughter-in-law.

The items in the warehouse must be counted every two months, either by the master and son, or by the appointed maid, daughter-in-law and mother-in-law.The random inspection was handed down from Qiu Sanniang when she was in charge of the treasury.Jiang Suxin thought it was good, so she continued to use it.

The rules of Qiu Sanniang's treasury were clearly written down, with clear rewards and punishments, and even the treasury owner was subject to these rules, which opened Jiang Suxin's eyes for the first time in charge of the treasury.But the mother-in-law was afraid that these rules would not be conducive to her exercising her private power, so when she changed all the servants in the warehouse, she simply abolished the book and returned to the rules when the master was in charge of the treasury.If the mother-in-law withholds the things in the warehouse and does not return them, she cannot pursue them.

Jiang Suxin asked Anshun's daughter-in-law to bring her notebook, glanced up, and asked, "Today's outer garden banquet?"

Anshun's daughter-in-law replied: "No one has ever said it."

"Then—the warehouse will be closed for inspection today." Jiang Suxin closed the notebook, "Get the sign."

General inspection means checking everything.If the warehouse is closed, you can't take it out, you can only take it in.

Anshun's daughter-in-law is surprised, it's almost the end of the month, and now she's going through the inspection, she's full, so why not?I wanted to go back, but I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly took the sign of the division of labor.

Jiang Suxin divided the work one by one, but she didn't intend to make a kiss, so she asked Baozhu to follow her into the warehouse, and only Anshun's daughter-in-law was left to talk.

"This is what my wife means." Jiang Su watched her words carefully, but she didn't know Anshun's daughter-in-law was nagging behind her back.

Anshun's daughter-in-law immediately smiled, "Fourth grandma, let me just say, you won't close the warehouse for some reason."

Jiang Su knew that she was flattering him, so he didn't care, "On weekdays, who does the third girl send to pick up the things in the library?"

"The third girl hasn't been here since she handed over the key to the storeroom. Every time she receives a reward from the wife, she will send her the eldest girl Bai He and the second-class girl Lu Ju." The An family is Zhang's confidant brought from her natal family. How can one not know the conflict between the wife and the young lady.When Grandma Fourth asked about Sanniang, Anshun's daughter-in-law answered very attentively.

"Only these two?" Jiang Suxin asked indifferently.

"I've only seen these two people. However, I heard my mother-in-law talk about what happened a few days ago. My wife taught a rough girl in the Third Girl's Court, named Mo Zi. I wonder why I haven't heard of it. This name?" Anshun's daughter-in-law is very chatty.

"It's not a lesson, it's just a slap." Jiang Suxin put down her cup, got up, and looked after Anshun's daughter-in-law, "Remember, no one can take things from the warehouse today. It's really urgent for the men in the garden. Let someone come Find me."

"Yes, fourth grandma." Anshun's daughter-in-law followed Jiang Suxin and sent her to the gate of the courtyard.

When Jiang Suxin was gone, Anshun's daughter-in-law found a trusted little girl, "Quickly go to An's mother to find out what the wife means."At that time, the one who offends others will become himself.

Close the warehouse?Where is it so easy to seal!

The fifth young master gave Curry's jewelry to those girls every few days.Normally, Anshun's daughter-in-law gave it to her on this side, and then quickly reported it to her wife on the other side.It is up to the wife to decide whether to turn a blind eye or turn a blind eye to beating and scolding.The mother-in-law said that if it is worth a dozen taels or a few dozen taels, the wife almost doesn't care.By coincidence, today, if she refuses to give it, she goes to the wife to make trouble, can she scold her own son but help her?No way.

When the little girl reported the letter and learned that it was the wife who wanted to show the third girl's face, Anshun's daughter-in-law would be counted.He took a bag of melon seeds, made another pot of tea, and sat on the porch, spitting out the melon shells one by one.

The incense utensils, tea utensils, and head and face jewelry required for the seven-day Muzhai ceremony are all regulated by certain regulations.The nunnery is clean, and they don't like gold and silver wares. They pay attention to plainness, but they can't lose their status as a lady from a rich family, so jade wares are the best.I will go out tomorrow, and I will come to fetch jade today.

Just after noon, someone knocked on the door knocker.

The little girl at the gate asked who it was in a soft voice.

"I'm Bai He, a girl from the Three Girls' Court."

The little girl quickly glanced at Anshun's wife not far away.

Anshun's daughter-in-law beckoned the little girl over, and ordered so and so.

The little girl stood behind the door and raised her voice slightly, "Today the warehouse is closed for inspection. You can only collect things but not pick them up. You can come back tomorrow."

It was quiet outside for a while.

Anshun's daughter-in-law thinks that people are knowledgeable, so she is easily dismissed, and she can't help but feel proud.

At this moment, a clear female voice that she had never heard before came into the courtyard, causing the maids and daughters-in-law to look at each other.

"What we are taking is not the property of the public, but something belonging to the third girl that is stored in the warehouse. What does it have to do with the inspection? Open the door first, and ask the lady in charge to speak."
