Chapter 113 The Clown
I don't know when it started, but a kind of pot that can be used to cook meat, meatballs and vegetables has become popular.
This kind of pot is the best to eat in the winter.
Mu Qingqing set up a hot pot in the restaurant, and she ate the hot pot with her three sisters-in-law and her cousin Master Lu.
The maids also asked them to sit together at a table.
My sister-in-law is about to give birth, but she really wants this.
Miss Song swallowed a mouthful of mutton and narrowed her eyes slightly, "That's great. We should eat something warm like this in winter."
Several women nodded, and the children followed their grandmother to eat from the pot, without having to serve the two little ancestors.
It was snowing outside and the house was warm.
He even drank a few sips of wine, and when his three brothers came to pick him up, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The next day after they had just finished eating the hot pot, the sister-in-law had an attack, and Mu Qingqing was so scared that she thought she had eaten something from the hot pot.
After the imperial physician's examination, everything was normal and the delivery was within the expected date.
Mu Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. If anything happened to the nephew in her sister-in-law's belly because of her, she would hate herself to death.
Yes, the eldest sister-in-law gave birth to a son again, which made her very disappointed as she was looking forward to a sweet and soft little daughter.
That day, Mrs. Mu asked Mu Qingqing to come over, and Mu Qingqing thought something had happened.
He hurried into the room and saw Madam Mu and his second sister-in-law, who were laughing and talking about something.
Seeing Mu Qingqing, the second sister-in-law pulled her over and said, "Qingqing is here. Mother has something to say to you."
Mu Qingqing looked at her mother in confusion, "Mom, what do you want to talk to your daughter about?"
Madam Mu and her second sister-in-law looked at each other and said, "It is indeed something. You are also engaged, so it is time to learn how to manage the household. It is just in time for the New Year, so you should learn from your second sister-in-law."
"After the New Year, I will give you the dowry shop and you can learn to manage it yourself."
After the new year, Mu Qingqing will be eighteen years old and can stay for two more years at most. All of King Han’s industries will have to be managed by Mu Qingqing in the future. After all, King Han has to lead troops to fight.
Mu Qingqing nodded. The second sister-in-law didn't say anything. She was not a short-sighted person and she would not think of embezzling Mu Qingqing's dowry.
"It just so happens that all the manors and shops need to send their account books before the New Year. You stay with me and I will teach you when the time comes!"
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."
Mu Qingqing had learned and mastered all of this in her previous life, and she was also in charge of the Akatsuki organization's accounts, so it wasn't difficult for her to get started.
From that day on, Mu Qingqing followed her second sister-in-law, going wherever she went.
As for the inventory of the e-commerce store, although there are people watching, and they are all trustworthy people, my second sister-in-law still needs to keep an eye on it personally.
There were several important shops in particular. The Mu Mansion’s businesses included the winery and wine business under Mrs. Mu’s name, and the rouge shop.
There are also other scattered small shops selling all kinds of things, and some are for rent.
When they arrived at the winery, the second sister-in-law asked her to watch more and talk less, so Mu Qingqing followed her into the winery.
The people who made the wine were all men. To avoid collisions, Master Lu and Banxia Qinghe surrounded Mu Qingqing.
The second sister-in-law greeted the person in charge skillfully and asked about the brewing and trading of wine.
Mu Qingqing was flipping through the account book in her hand. As she was reading, she paused and looked at the data, frowning silently.
The account book was placed on the carriage, and the manager personally escorted the person out of the winery with a very respectful attitude.
The second sister-in-law sat in the carriage and restrained her smile, picked up an account book and started reading. Seeing that she was reading it seriously, Mu Qingqing did not speak for the time being.
Suddenly, the second sister-in-law raised her eyebrows slightly, and indeed there was something wrong with the account book.
For several days in a row, the second sister-in-law took Mu Qingqing to various places.
We arrived at a farm owned by my mother. Before we even entered, a group of farmers suddenly rushed out from the side.
A farmer rushed in front of the carriage, but fortunately the coachman reacted quickly and stopped the carriage.
The coachman jumped off the carriage and pushed the man away. "What are you doing? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
The farmer ignored the other party and kowtowed to the carriage.
"Master, please let us poor people go. The 40% tax is too heavy. We can't even afford to eat."
A few more people rushed out from the side and knelt down and kowtowed one by one.
Mu Qingqing helped her second sister-in-law get off the carriage and looked at the farmers calmly.
They all looked pale and thin, their clothes were in tatters, and their eyes were dead silent.
The second sister-in-law raised her eyebrows slightly, "40%? Did you pay 40% in taxes this year?"
An old man stepped forward and said, "Yes, master, the harvest this year is not good, but the steward here said that we should hand in four years' harvest. After that, we still can't fill our stomachs!"
The old man was in tears and trembling as if he could collapse at any time.
The second sister-in-law's face was as gloomy as water. The manager was courting death. In previous years, the maximum collection was 30%. This year's harvest was not good, so they deliberately reduced it by 10%. The manager actually collected 40%. From the sound of it, it seemed that this had been going on for several years.
My second sister-in-law has a good memory. The account books reported by the manager only accounted for 20% this year and only 30% in previous years.
Suddenly, the door of Zhuangzi opened from the inside, and ten strong young men with strong arms and waists rushed out with fierce eyes.
At this time, a middle-aged man came out. He was probably in his forties. His clothes looked ordinary, but the material was very good.
When he saw the two of them, he immediately nodded and bowed, "Young Madam is here, please come in. These people are farmers from the neighboring farm, they are a bunch of unruly people who want to damage the reputation of the master. Don't worry, I will chase them away right away."
As he said this, he winked at the man next to him, who nodded calmly and immediately took out a stick to hit the farmer.
The second sister-in-law's pupils shrank slightly. She didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
"stop!"
She shouted softly, trying to stop everyone.
The housekeeper stepped forward and said with a chuckle, "Don't worry, Madam. These people don't know the rules. Just teach them a lesson to prevent them from talking nonsense and ruining the reputation of the Mu Mansion!"
The second sister-in-law was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at him for a long time and couldn't say a word. But the other party bent over respectfully with a mocking smile in his eyes.
He was used to being a local emperor, so even when facing Madam Mu, he dared to make some excuses. Anyway, the account books were all fake and there was no substantial evidence. What could the young lady in front of him do about it?
Seeing that the other party was fearless, Mu Qingqing couldn't bear to watch this group of people get beaten.
He nodded to Master Lu, who instantly flew up with Banxia Qinghe.
"Ouch!"
"It hurts so much, it kills people!"
In an instant, the group of men were howling like ghosts and rolling on the ground holding their legs and hands.
The manager's eyes widened. He didn't expect that all his men would fall down in less than one round.
He was filled with inexplicable shock and looked at everyone with inquiring eyes.
The second sister-in-law took a deep breath and said, "Little sister, let Master Lu tie him up."
"Stop it, you can't do this!"
The steward shouted loudly, trying to intimidate everyone.
"My mother raised Madam Mu and was her wet nurse!"
Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows slightly. Mother's wet nurse? She is just a servant. Does she really think she has done a great favor to the Mu family?
"Tie him up!"
"Let me see who dares?"
