suspected wife

Manager Zhou didn't come that day.

Qiao Mingjin didn't pay much attention either.

Apart from being a little dazed when I saw the place where the account book was originally placed on the table was empty in the study room, I didn't feel much.

That's what it is to do for others.

Doing well is within your ability and deserves your share.If you don't do well, it's because you didn't do your best.When others let you do it, they look down on you, and if they don't let you do it, it's naturally a matter of one sentence.

After dinner that night, Qiao Mingjin walked towards the study out of habit. When he came to the door, he held up the lamp and stared in for a while, then turned and went back to the room.

But that night in the Zhou Mansion, facing a pile of account books, the old lady went through each account book extremely carefully.

After reading the expression on the face.

The old lady herself is the daughter of a businessman. She has heard and seen it since she was a child, and she has learned to turn over the account book and make calculations since she learned to read.When she got married, she was dowry with a lot of shop property, and the old lady took care of the dowry shop and read the books, so she couldn't be more familiar with it.

After marriage, he was in charge of Zhou Guanzhong, and also managed the family business for the old man.After the old lady left, she was also the one who took over the huge family business of the Zhou family.

Isn't it a piece of cake for her to read a few account books?

The old lady originally thought that Qiao Mingjin had other thoughts and was making some preparations for entering the mansion.

Unexpectedly, they treated themselves as a tent, did not do anything, and could not find any other thoughts.Moreover, this tent seemed to be a formidable tent, and there were some problems that even she couldn't see, but she found them out.

The old lady had a complicated face.

It's just that the old lady will never admit that there is a woman who is better at accounting than her.

Just at this moment, Mother Lin who was standing by the side said: "This is Mrs. Qiao. She is really a good manager of the house. This account book is better than the accounting office that has been made for many years. It is the general accounting office in the mansion. I'm afraid I can't compare to her."

When the old lady heard it, her face became angry, she snorted heavily, and threw the account book in her hand far away.

Said: "Marry a wife and marry a virtuous person. This marriage is to take care of the six sons and inherit the heirs. Is there a lack of tents in the house?"

Seeing the annoyance on the old lady's face, Mother Lin tightly closed her mouth again.

I heard the old lady say again: "Is everything arranged?"

Mother Lin nodded: "It's all arranged."

After hearing this, the old lady helped Mother Lin's hand into the inner room.

The next day, Qiao Mingjin, who was at leisure, assigned homework to her daughter and Ming Qi, asking them to paint red and practice abacus.He got up and went to the workshop to check.Zhou Yanqing was not around, so she had to run and see more.

She didn't return home until about noon.

At about the same time as yesterday, the sound of carriage wheels was heard outside the door again.

Qiao Mingjin frowned and went to the desk.In the room and under the desk, he looked carefully.No missing books were found.Only then did I leave the room.

Sure enough, he was from Zhou Mansion again.

It's just that the two people who came here today are not those two people from yesterday.Instead, they were replaced by a middle-aged mother and a rather pretty maidservant aged sixteen or seventeen.

Both Ming Qi and Wan'er were in the room.

Yue Zhongyao had seen each other these few days, and Wan'er didn't dare to go to Yue's house when it came to eating.

I don't know if it's because people from the city feel something new about the yards of the country people, just like the two who came yesterday, they also looked around as soon as they entered the yard.

The eyes of these two people today are more presumptuous than those two yesterday.I can't wait to bring out one or two things from their Zhou family from somewhere.

The middle-aged woman who looked like a mother in charge seemed to be fixed on Qiao Mingjin.Looking at it is called a meticulous.

Wan'er was so frightened that she snuggled close to Qiao Mingjin's side, hugging her thigh tightly.

Ming Qi looked aggressive, and when the other party looked at her, he stared at the two of them intently with his eyes wide open.

Only Qiao Mingjin stood aside and looked at them coldly.

The middle-aged woman was very well dressed, I don't know if she was from the old lady's room, or she was the proud person in front of some lady in the house.

A full head of golden hairpins and silver hairpins.There are also two heavy gold bracelets on the wrists, and the jade rings on the skirt are all good things that are green and watery.

I don't know whether it is to show off the wealth or to open the eyes of the peasants in the countryside.This all-over jewelry.She looked just like the landlady of the nouveau riche family in the countryside.

In Shanghe Village, there are two or three women with a lot of land in their families. They often have hairpins, and they walk around with their wives and maids. .

The girl in front of her is not so vulgar, and she doesn't have so many hairpin rings on her head. The apricot-yellow skirt has only one jade hairpin and two or three flowers in her hair, which is refreshing and refreshing.There is also a jade bracelet in her hand, her gestures are very elegant, she looks like a young lady from some small family.

No wonder it is better to marry a maid from a big family than a girl from a small family.

This kind of upbringing, not only for the master of the family, but also for the married aunts, naturally it was cultivated with great effort.

"You two are here, what's the matter?"

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Qiao Mingjin had no choice but to speak up first.She is free, but she doesn't want to be so wasted.Who is impatient to waste time with a bunch of people he doesn't know every day?

"You are Mrs. Qiao?"

the middle-aged woman asked.

Qiao Mingjin nodded at her.

The man sized Qiao Mingjin up again, then turned to look at Wan'er who was snuggling beside her.

The maid smiled and took two steps: "Is this the lady's daughter? She really looks like a lady."

He walked in front of Wan'er in two more steps, bent slightly and said, "But it's called Wan'er?"

Seeing her harmless face, Wan'er nodded timidly.

The girl reached out to touch Wan'er's head, but Qiao Mingjin took her daughter back a step.

The girl lost her hand.Looking up at Qiao Mingjin, Qiao Mingjin also looked up at her.

The man quickly looked away, smiled at Wan'er again and said, "You are so good, where is your father? Did you go to the ground?"

Wan'er looked up at Qiao Mingjin this time, wondering if she should answer.

Qiao Mingjin looked at the two of them like this.I don't know why I came here, so I said, "Is there something wrong with you two?"

Seeing that she couldn't make the little thing talk, the servant girl straightened up and went back to the middle-aged woman.

The woman heard Qiao Mingjin's words and said: "We are from the Zhou mansion. I am the old lady's room, known as Zhao's mother, and this Miss Liu'er is a girl in our sixth master's courtyard. She usually takes care of our sixth master. Yes. We are here to talk to Mrs. Qiao."

After the woman finished speaking, Qiao Mingjin glanced at her, and then turned to Miss Liu'er next to her.

This personal servant bites clearly.If she pretends not to understand, I don't know if the two people in front of her should explain it to her.

Sure enough, the personal servants are all selected from thousands of miles.

Seeing that Qiao Mingjin didn't answer, the mother surnamed Zhao walked towards the side room familiarly: "Our old lady asked us to come and talk with the lady, the young lady will not be reluctant to pour a cup of tea for the two of us, right?"

Seeing the posture of the two of them, Qiao Mingjin was afraid that she would not leave until she had finished speaking, and that there was still a lot to say.

Then he signaled Ming Qi to boil water and prepare tea.

Look back at those two people.I have already looked at several wing rooms.

Except for the wing room that was used as a warehouse, which was usually locked, everything else was just concealed.

Those two people also looked in the door of the main room, but they didn't go in.Soon, he also looked at the backyard, and even glanced at the kitchen.

Qiao Mingjin didn't go with them, and she didn't have anything behind her back, so she let them watch freely.

Those two people didn't want this country family.The yard is neatly tidied up.

Unlike ordinary peasant households, the courtyard is a piece of yellow mud.One piece is higher and the other is shallow, the courtyard of this house is paved with bluestone slabs.

The kitchen was also cleaned up, large pots, small pots, frying pans, steamers, iron pots, copper pots, pans, casserole... a row of wooden forks were nailed to the wall, and all kinds of spatulas, spoons, and pot lids were neatly hung. , And various knives.

Big and small, cut and chopped, long and short.

It is also smaller than the kitchen in their house.But Liu Quan is very good at all kinds of utensils.

There are some things that they have never seen in their Zhou residence.

The two of them looked at each other, each having their own stomachs.

The one named Liu'er tightened the veil in her hand.

The sixth master didn't know how much money he put in.How can this be something that a country family should have?

Their Liu family got the master's eyes because of her in the mansion.Although there was a lot of money brought back, the family did not change much.Except that the land is a few acres more than before, how can the utensils in the yard, the kitchen, and the wing room compare with this one?

There was another room that was locked just now, I don't know if it is a warehouse?

Instead, I want her to open it and see how many good things have been brought in from the mansion.

The two saw Qiao Mingjin standing at the door of the wing room, looking at them from afar, with a smile on his face.

The face is slightly unnatural.

But soon recovered.

The two of them got the favor of the old lady in the mansion, and they were sent by the old lady, not to show cowardice.

The two entered the wing room first, Qiao Mingjin.

Over there, Ming Qi also made the tea.

Qiao Mingjin didn't bother too much.

Generally, when people come home in this weather, she will not serve hot tea made from this tea, that is, a cup of cold tea.Or add a spoonful of sugar or honey to it, or just add mung bean water.

It's just that he is so expensive, if he comes out of your mansion, Fei Naxin will not accept it or not.Look at this appearance is not to curry favor with friends.

Miss Liu'er smelled the fragrance of tea in the cup, her mouth was still burning, but she didn't dare to pour it into her mouth.Just by smelling it, I feel a little familiar.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is believed that Liu Ye brought good tea from the mansion.Liu'er felt very resentful again.

I and Aunt Li are close at hand every day, but Liu Ye just can't see it.I have to go so far to find a yesterday's yellow flower who is married and gave birth to children.

The clothes on her body are not as good as those of the rough envoy woman in the mansion.

Where can I not find this face and figure in Qingchuan City?Even in the mansion, you can randomly pick out a few from each yard.

And all of them have clean bodies.

What is Liu Ye thinking?

Is someone else's wife the best? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
