Chapter 279

But he didn't dare to talk about these words.

After talking with Xiao Ruixuan, he hurried back to Zhixiang Curie and turned it into the reverse room of the accounting room.

In the inverted room, two children dressed as men were making calculations in front of a stack of books.

"Qingfeng, are you clear?" As soon as the uncle came in, he wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"It's all figured out." A boy put down his pen and stood up respectfully.

The uncle nodded with satisfaction, and then said to the boy, "then you should go to the inner courtyard to ask, and see when your wife will be free to hand over the account with us?"

The boy called Qingfeng quickly slipped out like a gust of wind.

Looking at his running back, he shook his head, picked up the teapot that had been warming on the table and poured himself a cup of chrysanthemum tea under the fire.

It's better to hand in this account as soon as possible!

Before Shizi's wife got married, the backyard was an empty house. There were only some people in charge of sweeping and looking at the yard in each yard. Besides their monthly silver, there was almost no other expenses.

So when shiziye asked him to take care of it, he also took care of it.

But since his wife married in, there have been more people in the backyard.

First of all, no matter those who specially transferred from zhixiangju, they don't know how much more they spend on needlework, cosmetics, delicacies and so on every month, let alone the arrival and arrival.

The key is that there is no one in charge of the accounts in Zhuyuan! It's all over him.

So he had to set aside a child to help manage the account.

At this time, in the inverted room of the bamboo garden, several women and daughter-in-law like people were sitting around, eating melon seeds and drinking tea, which was more lively than the Chinese New Year.

"Oh, you're enjoying yourself here." A woman said with an exaggerated smile, "it's not like us. We have to pick up firewood to bake a fire."

Xia Yi also smiles, mentions the purple clay kettle which has been simmering on the peat stove, and continues the tea for you.

These people were on duty in all the courtyards before the imperial concubine of Jin went to the northwest. They could be regarded as legitimate, but they were not close friends.

Because all the cronies were taken to the northwest by the princess of Jin.

Last time, Jiang Wan was in the mansion. There was a life among them

I have a mind to take refuge in.

For these people, Jiang Wan asked Xia Yi to keep an eye on them and write down who they were.

These people thought that they had been on the line with Shizi's wife slowly, but they didn't expect that Shizi and his wife's trip to Jiangnan would last three months.

One by one, they seemed to be beaten back to their original shape.

At the moment when everyone was at a loss, they heard that lilac next to Shizi's wife was going to get married. They quickly gathered together in the name of adding boxes to lilac.

This kind of thing, clove naturally not good appearance.

So it's Xiayi and Han's mother who come out to treat the guests“ It's said that the princess is going to return to Beijing in a few days, so many people will be released at once. Is it really OK? " The big guy talked about it for a while, and finally someone brought the topic to the things that everyone was concerned about.

Just now, those who patronized tea and melon seeds immediately echoed: "yes, yes, it's not good to neglect the princess because of the shortage of manpower in the government."

Xia Yi also in the heart secretly a smile, took a golden orange on the table, side peel side way: "before we went out with Shizi lady, side also so few people, also didn't see the lady feel any inconvenience."

Speaking of this, she deliberately pause, continued: "the princess travel,

The ostentation will naturally be greater than that of his wife. Even a person holding a spittoon will take it with him. "

In other words, even if the princess came back, she would not care about them.

Their faces changed.

Before, they were left by the princess because they were dispensable.

Although they are working in the palace, they seem to have a lot of face, but only they know the desolation of "no one asks in the downtown".

The imperial concubine of Jin couldn't count on it, so they took the lady as a straw.

Xia Yi glanced at the crowd from the corner of her eyes and continued to peel the oranges. "But then again, if these people can't let go, it's not up to the lady to decide."

She divided the peeled oranges with the others and continued: "it happened that clove was going to get married, so the lady asked if there were any suitable servant girls in the house to be released. Otherwise, she couldn't tell when they would have the chance to be released."

If Jiang Wan sat here, he would certainly cheer for the words of Xia Yi.

She made it clear to these servants: you have been left here by the princess of Jin for so many years. When my son's wife comes here, I will do it for you

I'm in charge.

Then, Xia Yi sighed again: "I don't know if the lady's idea of being good at doing things for a while will make the princess blame her."

One or two of the maids were so clever that they responded immediately.

Before Shizi's wife got married, mother-in-law Tong, who came along with the princess of Jin, made a speech, asking them not to be too respectful to the new Shizi's wife.

What is the attitude of the princess of Jin towards Shizi's wife? It's clear at a glance!

If they now take refuge in the wife of the prince, it is tantamount to offending the princess of Jin.

There is a question of choice.

Some of them became silent.

Xia Yi saw, also just smile, don't urge them.

After the group dispersed, Xia Yi went to Jiang wanna.

At this time, Jiang Wan is sitting on the Kang of xicijian, ready to learn how to make small clothes from Molly.

See Xia Yi come in, she put the work in the hand aside, ask: "how?"

"Euphemistically, I said everything I had to say." Xia Yi glanced at the needle and thread basket on the Kang Table, in which there were several pieces of cloth that had been cut.

Jiang Wan nodded.

Some words, they can't say clearly, otherwise it's disrespectful to say them. If they are eloquent, they will be more passive.

"Be careful. If there's someone coming tomorrow, you'll be careful and ask them who else is in the family." Jiang Wan also explained.

Sure enough, on the second day, fewer people came to visit Zhuyuan under various pretexts, but one or two of them made up their minds.

One is Wang's second daughter-in-law, who is the head of Zhang Qing's Tianxiang courtyard. The other is Mrs. Li on the second door.

Wang's second daughter-in-law thought that she got the job because of his wife, so she didn't worry about it. She was entrusted by her mother-in-law and wanted to get a job for her sister-in-law.

The old lady Li was determined to get her granddaughter to work in the house. She begged her grandfather to sue her grandmother for more than a year. As a result, she tried to prevaricate her one by one. Up to now, her granddaughter is still having a free meal at home. How can she not want to take a chance with his wife?
