daily life

Chapter 277

Xiang Zhixuan sat down in front of the rectangular rosewood table, ignored the previous people, and called Mama Zhao from the sewing room to come forward and talk.

Zhao's mother didn't ask for instructions, she came to pay the bill.Make spring clothes in winter and summer clothes in spring. From the masters of each house to the maids to the servants in the outer courtyard, they buy the corresponding clothing materials and silk threads according to the order.If there is no problem, you can start to do it.

This matter started a few days ago, and Ning Shi was listening to it at the time.Yesterday, the silk and satin shop sent all kinds of clothing materials, and left an account. They will come over in a day or two to take the money from the account room.

Zhao's mother submitted the corresponding accounts, and then reported everything in detail.

While listening, Xiang Zhixuan slowly flipped through the accounts, checking the numbers on the accounts with her mental calculations.

Zhao's mother is a serious and straightforward person, and she is not as careless as others.If it wasn't like this, last year when Xiangzhixuan got married and came to make winter clothes, she wouldn't have followed Ning's instructions and made it with all her heart, and she could have taken Joe like others.

Xiang Zhixuan saw this, and was willing to give this person a bit of face.Let Zhao's mother sit on the stool at the side, let Qiangwei refill the tea twice, and said: "Don't worry, speak slowly."

Zhao's mother was actually a little anxious in her heart, fearing that she would delay the Fourth Madam's time for too long, so she had to talk about the incident in detail.Seeing the fourth lady like this, I felt at ease.

It was nearly noon when this matter was finished.Xiang Zhixuan nodded in satisfaction, took the pair of cards, and stamped the seal of the inner house on the account left by the silk and satin village, and handed it to Mother Zhao, asking her to inform the accountant.

Mother Zhao quickly said yes, saluted and left.

Xiang Zhixuan took a look at the sky, took out her pocket watch to look at it, stood up, and told the people who hadn't had time to deal with it: "Come back in the future."

People call it stepping down.

There were only a few disobedient people left in the hall.

Xiang Zhixuan looked at several people one by one, her eyes were a little cold, "You guys are so thoughtful, continue to wait." After that, she went out surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, and when she learned that her mother-in-law was still in Xifu, she went back to Qingfeng Pavilion.After lunch as usual, lie in bed and take a nap.

The former second wife of Xifu is now the old lady of the second room, and when outsiders mention her, it is old lady Jiang.Although my husband lost his official position a few years ago, she comes from a high family and has the title of county head on her head. Such a person can be named as her own surname.

The second old lady has been ill these few days.

Since last year, I haven't had a few good days. Now my mood has improved, but my body is starting to make up for the anger and anger accumulated in the previous period.After the separation of the families, the people in the West Mansion felt uncomfortable, they would not and would not be able to invite the imperial physician, and they always invited the doctor to come to the house for diagnosis and treatment.

The doctor came once, and the second old lady took the medicine according to the prescription for a few days, but her illness did not improve.The servant looked impatient, so he went to Dongfu to report the matter to Ning Shi.

No matter how much Ning gets tired of this younger brother and sister, she will not make trouble at such a time. Hearing the news, she first sends for the imperial physician, and then goes to the West Mansion to visit.

The two elder sisters-in-law faced each other, seeing that Mrs. Ning came to visit sincerely, she didn't put on a face, and calmly asked about Xi Lang's recent situation.

Ning said with a smile: "Isn't that what it's like to be an official? You have to get up before dawn to go to court early, and you have to work until midnight after returning. How much hard work."

"This is the truth." The second old lady smiled, "I can't say a few good things about the fourth child, but he is courageous and resourceful. I can't deny this. His future is bright. Potential." Looking at Ning's thoughtfully again, "Your old man, isn't it hard for a while?"
