The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 40 Lie (2)
But when Zhang's mother heard Zhao Jing's words, she suddenly became enlightened in vain. Even if she didn't say it, would Zhao Jing really not know in the future?Now that I have said it myself, it is better than being known by Zhao Jing herself in the future, at least I can still save face in front of her.

"Miss Jing, to be honest, last time Zhao Yongcai paid the silver and said he would buy a few more children in this Puzhao Temple. Who knows that it is the end of the year, and every household is buying slaves. It took half a minute to get so many people, so...so..."

"So what's the matter?" Zhao Jing saw that Zhang's mother couldn't keep telling lies, so she didn't make things difficult for her, and just smiled and said: "So I borrowed dozens of little nuns from other nunneries, and came here to gather together first." Is that the right number?"

When Zhao Jing said this, the chopsticks in her hand rested on the mouth of the bowl. Those delicate fingers were especially beautiful. They were like slices of white onion. Except for the slightly red and swollen little finger, they were really a pair of pleasing hands. up.

Mother Zhang remained silent, her eyes only fell on the polished tabletop in front of her.

"In theory, I'm only here to do the funeral for Mrs. Hou. I shouldn't care about your family background, but this family matter also involves Mrs. Hou's funeral. I have to take care of it." After struggling for a long time, I feel that if this matter is really settled like this, after all, those old slaves are being taken advantage of. Since she is still talking, it is better to treat them.

When Mama Zhang heard this, she looked forward to it. She had swallowed her anger in the Hou Mansion for all these years, but in fact, she only wanted to make a comeback one day. If Zhao Jing could really move Mama Sun's weight in Mrs. Xu's heart If she moves, then she will be able to live a more decent life in the Hou Mansion in the future.

"What is the girl going to do with it? Mama Sun has the support of an old lady, and Zhao Yongcai, who is in charge of the temple, is Mama Sun's in-laws. They are closely related. Mama Sun's family has been greedy for money from the Mohou Mansion these years, and Guangjia Temple This place can squeeze out hundreds of taels of silver throughout the year!"

Ms. Zhang is really powerless. The old lady doesn't like to take care of these things. Master Hou is busy with government affairs, let alone take care of them. She is a servant and can't interfere.Now that Mama Sun has finally left, Mama Han is in charge of the family's affairs, and she can't intervene.Two days ago, the old lady found out with her conscience somehow, and told her to deal with the two nonsense slaves. If Zhao Jing hadn't been there to push the boat along with the flow, she would have been told by Sun Yu'e and Mother Han again. came back.

"You don't have to worry about that. I'm leaving in a few days, but you are different. You have to stay here for a long time. Just pretend you don't know anything." Zhao Jing knew that she was a servant The difficulties, especially the servants who are out of power, are squeezed out everywhere.Mama Zhang is obviously not as good as Mama Han in front of the old lady. If she is involved in this matter, and she will leave by herself in the future, it is inevitable that Mama Zhang will be squeezed by those people.

After hearing this, Zhang's mother was so grateful that she didn't know what to say, and she wondered inwardly. She didn't know what Zhao Jing could think of to fix that group of people.
After lunch, Ms. Sun, who had been building her mind for a while, finally mustered up her courage again, and came to ask Zhao Jing to go out to discuss matters.

"Miss Jing has already eaten. Do you want to take a rest for a while? Everything has been arranged. I guarantee that it will be done properly in two days." After taking a sip, he waited for a while before he opened his mouth and said: "I did the math, although there are many people who will come over that day, only three are the most important, apart from our own mansion, the Jingguo mansion, and The Empress Dowager’s natal family’s Ningyuan Hou Mansion, when the time comes, you will prepare a meditation room for each of the three families, it must be clean and tidy, and all things must be newly purchased, and none of them can be old.”

Ms. Sun just came to listen and didn't take it to heart. Ms. Zhang and Zhao Yongcai's family took note of everything.

Zhao Jing continued: "Every household that comes in is matched with an old mother, two little maids, and an errand boy. Now I just ask, how many little maids were there with the money that Manager Zhao paid for? There is not enough manpower, I will try to find a way to bring in a few more."

Ms. Sun was worried about the lack of manpower, but she didn't expect Zhao Jing to say that she would send people over. She secretly laughed in her heart that Zhao Jing was young and timid after all, and she couldn't let go of things, which just happened to be an advantage to them.

Zhao Yongcai's family's eyes lit up after hearing this, only Zhang's mother was puzzled, thinking that Zhao Jing was really going to wipe their ass.

"Last time I said I was going to buy it. Who knew that at the end of the year, there were more maidservants than maidservants, but now I didn't buy them. I only bought a dozen or so sisters-in-law. I just gathered 49 people for the Houfu's affairs. "

The implication is that there is no maidservant in this temple.It's just that among the 49 little nuns, how many of them were really in this temple?
