The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 79 Luring the snake out of the hole, poisoning and planting (2)
When Gong Qinglan arrived at the Qi Mansion, the doorman told the story of Xiao Zhengsheng yesterday.I don't know who disclosed the news to the old lady, and the old lady went on a hunger strike to see Xiao Zhengsheng.

"The mansion is saving money, the old lady doesn't like to eat, so she ordered the kitchen to prepare one meal a day. With the reduced money, get some snow ginseng, and send the bird's nest. If you don't eat it, you will reward the servants." Gong Qinglan flipped through it and gave it away. When the account came, he told Hongyu without looking up.When the time comes, the old lady will say that she has abused her, and she will have something to say. Every day, she will give her a big supplement twice a day. Whose old lady eats so well?

Hongyu stepped back, Gong Qinglan put down the ledger, and rubbed her temples.Looking at the bracelet that the concubine gave her on her wrist, the whole body was full of emerald green water.In the middle of the bracelet is a hollow dot the size of a little fingernail, surrounded by smoky purple, and a few scattered red threads around it, like a girl's neon dress.Looking from a distance, it looks like a mermaid rippling in the blue waves.

Jasper beauty bracelet?
Gong Qinglan was surprised that this bracelet belonged to the queen of the previous dynasty, but it was passed down to Concubine Wei in the end.

Wearing it on the wrist, as usual, is no different.The only feeling is that it is warm and cold when you touch it, which is extremely comfortable.

However, she doesn't like things that are too beautiful, they are easily damaged and broken, and they are easy to cause disasters.

Putting it into the wooden cabinet, she saw Zhao's mother coming in, and said respectfully: "Eldest young mistress, tomorrow is the charity fundraising meeting, and the wives sent by each house to help you are already waiting in the front hall."

Gong Qinglan let out a 'huh', stacked the messy ledgers on the desk, and said with a smile: "Mother Zhao, can your grandson take part in the scientific examination now?"

Mother Zhao said bitterly, "I'm 16 this year. I was admitted as a scholar at the age of [-]. I haven't passed the exam yet. I'm working as a teacher in the village."

"Mama Zhao is willing to let him manage the accounts for me?" Gong Qinglan has no available people around, and most of them are illiterate and don't know how to handle accounts.

Mother Zhao said hesitantly: "It's his blessing to be able to work for the young mistress. I'm just afraid that Zhuzi will be stupid and can't handle the account."

"Call him to come to the house tomorrow, let's do it for a few days to see." Gong Qinglan ignored Zhao's mother's compliment.

"Hey!" Zhao's mother was delighted, she had planned to recommend her grandson to the eldest young master, but she didn't want the eldest young mistress to take the initiative to mention and praise her.

After tidying up her clothes, Gong Qinglan went to the front hall, where two people sat down on the left and right sides.

Gong Qinglan slowly sat on the main seat, looked at them with a smile, and her eyes sparkled brightly: "I have to trouble a few sisters and sisters these days, what are you good at? Talk about it and discuss it, so I can distribute things."

Li Liying was wearing a dress with ancient patterns of double butterflies in the shape of clouds and thousands of waters, covered with a white magnolia gauze dress, a pair of almond eyes, the corners of which were slightly hanging up, red lips were pink and thin, and she spoke in a sharp voice with a mean look on her face. "Sister, I don't have any good work, I just know how to manage the accounts. I usually stay in the mansion, and work with my sister-in-law to take care of the Fuchu Zhongfu."

Gong Qinglan looked at her coldly, the meaning in her words was nothing more than that if she wanted to manage accounts, she had to have that ability!
"My sister is always teaching a couple of children in the mansion, and she takes them to visit when she has nothing to do. She can say a few clever words with her mouth." The floor-to-ceiling dress, the low-hanging temple hair slanted and inlaid with pearls and jasper, followed her delicate movements, the pearls swayed, and the white skin was as crystal clear as jade.

Gong Qinglan silently remembered that she was sociable and would receive the wives from various houses when the time came.

"The younger sisters can do some practical things, but the elder sister is useless. She likes to play with porcelain and antiques on weekdays. Even the slightest flaws can't escape the elder sister's eyes." A pair of satin pinches.The Ruyi bun is decorated with pearls and emeralds, which is solemn and elegant.

Gong Qinglan took the wolf hair and quickly listed it on the rice paper, and Li Fengjiao was good at appraising the price.

The next one was Qiao Min, the new wife of Duke Cheng's mansion, wearing a lavender embroidered gardenia veil skirt, with a lavender silk flower inserted diagonally, she was charming and charming.She said in a soft voice: "My younger sister has been out for the first time, and she is best at needlework."

After the words fell, everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Sister, is the embroidery auction going?" Li Liying covered her mouth and giggled, with contempt in her eyes.

Qiao Min is weak and introverted.Being bullied outside, she endured not saying a word. Fortunately, she had a good life. Cheng Guogong and his wife were kind people. Her husband doted on her and never took concubines. Life was good, but it was inevitable to make people jealous.

"My sister embroidered a hundred flowers in her boudoir. They are lifelike, and the butterflies are so lifelike. If they are put up for auction, they will definitely be the finale." Gong Qinglan smiled and helped Qiao Min. In a word, the value of the embroidery was determined.

The embroidery is double-sided embroidery, with a hundred flowers blooming on the front and a phoenix perched on the back.In the previous life, it was also this year's charity event that sold for the highest price.On the queen's birthday, the prince of Changning Hou dedicated it to the queen.

The corners of Gong Qinglan's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a sneer.

With anger in her eyes, Li Liying gave Gong Qinglan a vicious look, and said with a smile, "Have you figured out how to arrange it, sister?"

With a slight smile on the corner of Gong Qinglan's mouth, she held the rice paper and said slowly: "Mr. Li will be responsible for borrowing dishes from various mansions, the concubine Shizi will receive the ladies and ladies of each mansion, Mrs. Chen will appraise the antiques and set the price, and sister Qiao will take care of it." I will manage the accounts and register together.”

When the words fell, everyone had no objection, only Li Liying's face was livid, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Why should I borrow porcelain?"

"Third young lady, I am acquainted with the eldest young lady of your mansion. She manages general affairs in the mansion, and you just help with trivial matters. It's nothing, so why not talk about it?" Gong Qinglan gently comforted: "This It is also the ability of the third young lady, each has its own strengths, and only when they stand in their own competent positions can they encourage each other. We should not be dragged down by our own petty thoughts."

Everyone understood the meaning of Gong Qinglan's words, not only did he have a good face when he was in charge of the account book, but also had a good face outside.How capable you are, what kind of things you can do.Don't hold them back just to play prestige.

Li Liying's face turned hot, from red to white, and then to blue.

Gong Qinglan fiddled with the teacup with green fingers, and said empathetically, "If the third young lady feels that you have been wronged, then go back and change someone else."

"Third Young Madam, this is not a small matter. If you don't come, don't hold on to it." Li Fengjiao spoke straightforwardly, not afraid of offending others, took a sip of tea, and said bluntly: "Your young mistress is a A good person, if she is allowed to come, it will be the best."

Li Liying tore the brocade handkerchiefs with both hands, wishing she could hold them in her palms and tear them into shreds.He forced a smile and said: "What did Mrs. Chen say? Even though my sister is not as good as my sister-in-law, such a trivial matter can't trouble me. What's more, this time my sister-in-law specially asked me to come to see the world."
