The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 204

A few days later, Mrs. Fifth Young Master took the initiative to invite Mrs. Seven to come over every morning when she was in charge of the affairs. In front of all the housekeepers and mothers, she told Mrs. Seven all the written and unwritten rules of the Xu family.

"Grandmother and mother are both believers. Every year in the first month of the month, they pay respects to the Buddha. They make big and small wishes, and the yearly offerings are also different. It's all in the twelfth lunar month, and they will settle the bill with the temple." Mrs. Wu did not pay attention to these small things. Hiding his secrets, he pointed at Lei Xianqing and said with a smile, "This is her business. During the wedding at the end of this year, if the six brothers and sisters hear the aunts complaining that the money has not arrived, then let her settle the score."

Seventh Lady looked at Lei Xianqing's family, smiled lightly, nodded and said, "This is what Fifth Sister-in-Law said, even if you don't complain at that time, you have to find a reason to attack you."

Lei Xianqing's family has a lively personality, and it is easiest to climb up the pole. He laughed immediately, "It is our blessing to have the young lady's seizures! What the men outside said, thunder, rain, and dew are all the grace of the king. Madame's seizure, doesn't it mean that Young Madam has us in her heart?"

Low laughter suddenly resounded in the house, even the Dragon Boat Festival when the head was bowed and writing, couldn't help but be amused by Lei Xianqing's family.

The fifth young lady glanced at Duan Wu again, and sighed slightly in her heart.

I just said a joke casually, and this dead girl will write it down.If something happens in the future, just turn around and search, and you will know what you are talking about.

In this way, even a little bit of tricks can't be used.

She couldn't help turning her head away again, covering up with a smile, and looked at Qin Niangzi seriously.

With this woman's delicate personality, when Yang Shanli poured a bowl of medicine in Mingde Hall back then, her whole body seemed to be dying. When there was chaos inside and outside, she could still notice the whereabouts of that bowl of medicine, and wait for Yang Shanli to take a bowl of medicine. As soon as I went, I immediately raised doubts and made things worse in person...

How can such a perceptive and decisive temperament let go of all kinds of pretentiousness?

Not to mention anything else, but when I first entered the door last year, after I made a few hard and soft movements, when I saw this woman again, I could clearly recognize a trace of temptation on this person's face.

She found something was wrong.

Now that he has doubts, it is inevitable that he will get into the hub. The few clues carefully arranged by himself lead to nothing but the ledger.It took more than an extra month to arrange this fake account cleverly.

But all pretense is always worth it. With this woman's temperament, since she suspects something tricky in the family account, there is a [-]% possibility that she wants to use the problem to play and save Wufang's face.And according to her method of planning and acting after everything, before checking the accounts in her own account room, there is a [-] to [-]% possibility that she will find her cronies and take a look at the accounts in advance.

But it had only been two days since the box arrived at Mingdetang. Unfortunately, she was ill and slept in bed for three or four days. It was hard to say whether she had the time to arrange these.The time limit is tight, and the harvest is coming soon. Maybe she has given up the idea of ​​checking the accounts in advance, and plans to adapt to the situation. If she finds the root cause, she will dig down, and if she doesn't find it, she will let it go?

There was nothing wrong with the accounting when handing over the accounts, and it will be difficult to grasp the handle of this matter in the future.

Can she give up this rare opportunity?
The Fifth Young Madam frowned secretly.

With Yang Shanheng's temperament, she is absolutely willing to let go!
What is there to be reluctant to live in a different place?The eldest son is in the right place, and the sixth wife is sitting securely. As long as she can secure the family, ten or twenty years later, ninety percent of the millions of property will be earned by the sixth bedroom. It was treated as a joke.

Alas, if Yang Shanheng hadn't been sick in those three days, the road would have gone smoothly, and she would be able to make her look ugly without showing any traces of herself.

It's a pity that this concubine's concubine had great luck since she was a child. Because of the kindness of her aunt, she actually picked up the name of a concubine. Things got worse, but he plotted himself into Xu's family, and became the wife of the eldest son that so many famous daughters of the family dreamed of!
It's only been half a year since I've been in the house, my mother-in-law is in pain, my husband is in pain, even my natal family's only younger brother, and I value him very much, but it's just a cold, I visited twice in three days, how many precious medicinal materials seem to be free of money, flowing from the old mansion I heard that if Mrs. Yang hadn't been in a bad condition for the past few days and it was inconvenient to go out, she would have come to visit her in person!

It's me, why did I have such a scene...

The dowry was appallingly large, and I heard that the Wan Guan family property that accompanied Yang Shanli was also entrusted to her—it's really different, this mediocre-looking concubine with cunning means has such good luck!

The fifth young lady squinted her eyes, and a rare sour taste appeared in her heart.

Having been so smooth all his life, it is inevitable that there will be an unbearable complacency in his actions.

It's time for someone to teach Yang Shanheng the proper way to advance and retreat!
She smiled kindly again, pointing to Lei Xianqing's family and continued, "The six younger brothers and sisters must have a vague idea in their minds. On weekdays, Lei Xianqing's family is dedicated to running errands for the female relatives, except for grandma and mother. In addition, we, the sisters-in-law, down to the little girls with broom sticks, have told her what big and small items need to be purchased, and she will tell the outside buyers. But this is not just us For the big accounts, each house settles money with her, and she settles with the buyers, that is, to let you know, and you can ask her if you want to buy anything in the future."

This is a fat vacancy. If Lei Xianqing's family and the old mother were not relatives of their children, they would not be able to sit in this position for 20 years.Seventh Lady looked at her and winked her eyes, then said to Fifth Young Madam solemnly. "Sister-in-law Wu is right, I know it well. If there is anything I want to buy privately in the future, I must ask Mama Torrey!"

In fact, a housewife like her has as many means to connect to the outside world as she wants, so there is no need to bother Lei Xianqing's family.She is mainly serving the girls who are usually unable to send the underlings to the streets at will, but what Qin Niangzi said shows her attitude after all.Lei Xianqing's family immediately beamed with joy, and even the old mother smiled slightly.

"When there is a happy event at home, Mother Lei will also take care of the shopping for the family members." Madam Lei suddenly felt a little tired. Instead, he glanced at a few housekeepers with blank expressions, and felt relieved. "Of course, after the sixth younger siblings take over the account, there will be any changes in personnel affairs. It's okay to go back to the two elders, so just talk to Sheng Jin's family. She is in charge of the roster now."

Seeing that Seventh Lady nodded and said nothing, Madam Wu felt a little joy: once the emperor and the courtiers, Yang Shanheng was in charge, and countless people under her hand wanted to be inserted in, and the young daughter-in-law next to her was the one who was in charge of personnel affairs at first glance. He made it clear that he wanted to compete with Sheng Jin's family for errands - this one is also an old man next to her mother-in-law, and she should be close to Mingdetang, but in the past few months, she has only visited a few times to ask for Ann.

She also told Qin Niangzi some trivial matters, and seeing that Qin Niangzi either knew some superficial things a long time ago, or knew it very well, and there was nothing that she didn't know, she felt that it was very boring, so she took advantage of the situation He smiled and said, "Other things may not be known to others, but the old mother must know. I just told the sixth sibling a few words for nothing. Seeing that the sixth sibling knows it well, then I can rest assured."

Seventh Lady gave a rare sincere smile to Mrs. Fifth, "Sister-in-law Wu's words are off the mark. People like us are all about stability. It's the same if you change the housework. You said The more I get, the more stable I will be when I get started in a few days. It is a great kindness for everyone to help each other and get through it safely. You have instructed me so carefully, and it is obvious that you love me. You are worthy of a famous family The daughter of a prominent family, she acts like a gentleman, she is truly admired by younger siblings."

Although her words were gentle, she had never praised anyone in such a lengthy manner. These words were spoken with sincerity, which made people feel as comfortable as if they were covered with a hot towel.All the women showed their expressions of admiration, and they rushed to praise, "Sisters-in-law are so harmonious, it really warms people's hearts when they see it."

"It's not that the old are relying on the old to sell the old. Seeing the filial piety of the two young wives, we all feel good as servants."

The fifth young lady paused insignificantly, sighed irritably in her heart, and then smiled kindly, "Sixth siblings are too polite, to be honest, being a housekeeper is not an easy job. I've worked so hard all year long, and I'm really tired. Teaching you like this is actually not at ease—I hope you will take over the housework as soon as possible, so that I can ignore everything and enjoy my leisure!"

The eyes of the two met, and she carefully pondered Qinianzi's expression again.

Qin Niangzi had a smile on her lips, her eyes were as calm as water, and there was really a slight gratitude in her expression, as if she had spoken from the bottom of her heart.I am somewhat grateful to the Fifth Young Madam who kindly taught her so that the housework can be carried on smoothly.

She was determined to maintain stability, so she might not investigate further.Is it possible that all my plans will come to nothing like this?
no!With this means of being a woman, she took over the status of the son-in-law, and if she worked in the mansion for one more day, her position would be more stable. She maintained stability because she could afford to wait, and she liked to wait.But if I wait one more day, I will lose one point of advantage.Taking a step back now, I am afraid that there will be no place to stand in the future.

That being the case, this road will not work, and of course we can only go another road.

Fifth Young Madam smiled affectionately at Seventh Lady, and patted her hand. "Fifth sister-in-law is sincere. Don't laugh at me, sixth sibling. I wish I could stop worrying about the troubles at home. It would be a great thing for sixth sibling to take over the housework."

Seventh Lady laughed as she left Leshan Residence, held Mrs. Fifth Young Madam's hand and reluctantly said a few words before heading for Mingde Hall with Zhongyuan and Duanwu.

As soon as she turned around, her face collapsed, and she couldn't help reaching out her hand and touching the corner of her lips.

"I'm about to die from laughing." She murmured to the two maids in a low voice.

Both Zhongyuan and Duanwu were more lively, and when they heard Qiniangzi say this, they couldn't help laughing in unison.

"The same goes for Mrs. Fifth Young Master. She has such a shallow smile on her face from morning to night. People who don't know may think who hung her mouth up." Duan Wu turned and looked at Mrs. Fifth Young Master's face From the back, he snapped his tongue again, "I don't know if the servants have misread it, why do you think that Mrs. Wu..."

When she was about to speak, Qiniangzi and Zhongyuan glanced at her at the same time, Duan Wu immediately realized her mistake, closed her mouth with a snap, and dared not say anything more.It wasn't until I entered Mingde Hall that I breathed a sigh of relief, "I almost caused trouble for the young lady!"

Seventh Lady couldn't help laughing, she waved her hands casually, "In the future, you should pay attention to the occasion when you speak—what did you say about Fifth Sister-in-law just now?"

Only then did Duan Wu roll his eyes, "What do you think, Madam Wu seems to be a little uncomfortable these few days, although she is still so elegant in her actions, when there is no one around, her face always shows a little bit of irritability Come on, it's a little scary to see."

Qin Niangzi couldn't help pondering for a moment, and then smiled happily.

Although Duan Wu is sometimes a little frivolous, he is a good hand at observing words and demeanor.

It seems that my pretentiousness has indeed deceived the fifth young lady.

She nodded and told Duan Wu, "Don't talk nonsense about this matter, if it is known by others, it will be regarded as our arrangement of the fifth sister-in-law!"

To say that Mrs. Wu is in a bad mood is to say that she is depressed because of the handover of the housekeeper. This statement from Liufang is extremely mean.Duan Wu hurriedly covered her mouth, nodded cautiously, and then smiled, "Sister Lixia and Sister Shangyuan are taking turns off, today I will set up a meal with Zhongyuan, what the young lady wants to eat, let's talk to the small kitchen!"

Qin Niangzi turned her head and thought for a while, and she was a little surprised. "I actually want to eat Huadiao stewed ginger legs!"

Don't talk about herself, both Zhong Yuan and Duan Wu were surprised. "It's rare for the young lady to want to have sex!"

Qin Niangzi had a bad appetite since she was a child, and she always had to be persuaded to eat more than half a bowl of rice. She also tried to import vegetarian dishes as much as possible. The meat dishes were only one or two mouthfuls, and she tasted them lightly. If she ate too much, she would feel greasy.Even if you have your own small kitchen after you get married and only cook with vegetable oil, it is difficult to eat more meat.Both Quan Zhongbai and Mr. Zhong raised this point, asking her to eat more meat dishes for nourishment, but she couldn't tolerate meat, so she put it on hold.Therefore, it is rare for Seventh Lady to have any meat dishes that she wants to eat today, and everyone thought it strange. In the evening, Zhongyuan even told Xu Fengjia while laying out the dishes, "Young Madam ate four pieces of ginger leg at noon today, and each piece is delicious." One or two inches square!"

Qin Niangzi couldn't help being very embarrassed, "It's rare to be greedy, but I was caught by you, and I still have to treat it as a strange thing, and imitate my mouth everywhere."

Xu Fengjia was also very happy, he patted the table, "Jiang's legs are easy to get, you eat well, tomorrow I will write a letter to the guard in Jinhua, the best ones will cost one or two hundred catties, no One thing—but I’m afraid you’ll get tired of eating it, so in another day, you’ll have to change your mouth and try the famous Qingjiang pork in our capital.”

Qin Niangzi's heart moved, "Speaking of which, where did the little official come from last time, he paid tribute to the clear sauce meat of several parties. I heard that Shiro and Wulang ate very deliciously, but they got angry after eating. Dare to supply it at any time, since you mentioned it, give the children a tooth-beating ceremony."

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Fengjia raised her eyebrows, "Interesting, this is like Fifth Sister. When we were young, we all loved to eat clear sauce meat. It is Seventh Brother and Fifth Sister. After eating, there will be blisters in the mouth, but the more it is This way the more you like to eat!"

The two were chatting and laughing, while eating, Qin Niangzi didn't notice for a while, and actually ate several pieces of mutton that Xu Fengjia's camera sent to her bowl.

After the meal, Qin Niangzi really didn't do anything else, she just had a few games with Xu Fengjia in Shuanglu, chatted for a while, then closed her eyes on her pillow and rested her mind.The Major General naturally fell asleep on the pillow. She closed her eyes, hypnotized countless times "sleep now" in her mind, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

At the end of July, Er Niangzi sent someone to send a message to Qi Niangzi, asking Qi Niangzi to visit Ding Guohou's mansion.
