The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 85

? Seeing Shen Yiyao’s in and out of the day without a foothold, people who understand naturally know that she is busy talking about her daughter, someone who does not understand, or who understands and does not want to understand, such as the old lady, what is natural See how unpleasant.

On this day, the old lady called Shen Yiyao to Rong’antang alone.

“I see you are so busy day by day, I wanted to mention it later, but you also came back, you can’t let Xue take charge of the house, then it is not proper to say it, it is better for you to take it, after all You are the most serious lady in this house.”

The old lady said this to Shen Yiyao in a homely tone.

Shen Yiyao sat down, lowering her eyebrows and replied pleasingly: “What the mother said is, but you see that your daughter-in-law is busy talking to A Yan, where can you have time to take care of the house? Sister-in-law will continue to take care of it.”

The reason is very good, the old lady can only rest.

From the next day, the old lady began to provoke Xue’s sting.

Most of it was for housekeeping, and Xue was often trained to be so **** that he couldn’t lift his head. Everyone in the house knew that the old lady had annoyed the old lady and also affected Yan Ru’s mood. Occasionally coming to Ningxiang Pavilion in the past two days, Yan Ru always seemed very worried.

“Sister, what’s the matter with you? Seeing that you have been unhappy these past two days, you have not paid attention to the rules before.

Yan Ru sighed and put down the needle and thread in his hand.

She is really busy lately, and Xue can’t wait to let her have 18 kinds of martial arts overnight. In the morning, I learned the rules with Mother Chang. If Yan Ling and Yan Ling were not proficient, they seemed extremely hard. In the afternoon, I have to learn from Xue’s housekeeper, and occasionally I have to practice needlework when I’m free.

Yan Ling rubbed her neck, and continued the needle and thread in her hand, and said: “It’s not that the old godly woman is holding her mother every day. Sesame seeds are a little bit bigger, so she can make up all of them.”

She is in the same state as Yan Ru now, and Yan Ru is there at her age and can’t wait. But she is urging herself, she is a concubine, can only be top-notch in other aspects.

Yan Yan is the most leisurely here. She is leaning halfway on the pillow at the end of the Kang, and compared to the two Yan Ru Yanling who is not free from the opposite side, she is so leisurely enough to make people jealous.

But who asked the second aunt to pet the third girl? Then the daily mother asked about their embroidery work, Yan Yan said very righteously, her mother said that since she didn’t want to learn, she didn’t need to learn.

Mother Chang could understand the meaning inside, and didn’t say anything. But Yan Yan dare to say so, do Yan Ru and Yan Ling dare? Yan Ru didn’t want her mother to talk in her ears, Yan Ling wanted to be strong.

The needle and thread that was thought to be good had a lot of problems in the eyes of Mother Chang. Actually, Mother Chang doesn’t need to teach this, but she feels that since learning the rules is only half a day, it’s not good to be idle for the other half day. After all, the master’s family paid the money, so she will take the time to give instructions on Yan Ru Yan Ling in the afternoon. Human embroidery.

Xue felt that the mother’s request was worth the money, while Shen Yiyao was thinking about the way her daughter could pierce a needle with the needle and thread, so she shook her head and sighed.

Without mentioning it, Yan Yan’s eyes flashed, and said: “She can’t toss for a few days.”

Yan Ru was upset, and simply put the needle and thread into the dustpan and pushed it away, leaning over, “Anything to talk about?”

After growing up, Yan Ru looks like the Xue family, but her eyebrows are more refined than those of the Xue family. She has a delicate eyebrow, and she seems to be somewhat elegant, plus she loves to dance, literary and ink, and she is full of a scent of scrolls, which adds three points to her.

Seeing this Wenxiu eldest sister on weekdays suddenly showed this curious expression, Yan Yan was a little bit amused. She put down the book in her hand and said: “She is nothing more than trying to take the housekeeper’s rights from her elder mother and hand it over. Going into my mother’s hands is not too hard to toss.”

After a pause, Yan Yan said again: “However, my mother doesn’t want to be in charge of this house.”

“Yes, now I know how difficult it is for butlers, up and down inside and out, I can’t make mistakes at all.”

Yan Ru thought about the twists and turns in the housekeeper, his head was big. In the past few days, she has been studying housekeeping with her mother day by day. Now she is in the stage of watching. Even so, she knows that it is not easy to manage a house well.

Yan Ling thought a lot more than Yan Ru. She took a look at Yan Ru, then looked at Yan Yan, and found that the look on Yan Yan’s face didn’t seem to be concealed, and she was relieved.

At the same time, Yusheng courtyard.

Xue is complaining to Yan Zhi who is at home in Xiu Mu. They naturally think more than the juniors.

“I can’t wait any longer for this. I really can’t stand your mother. I have to find a chance to push this out.”

Yan Zhi frowned, “Did you say hello to the second sibling?”

“I mentioned it to her, she shouldn’t be so stupid right now?”

“It’s hard to say, the second younger siblings have always been soft-faced, you don’t know.”

“Then I’ll go talk to her again. In this case, she must be unwilling to take it over.”

After speaking, the Xue family went to Jinseyuan.

***

Chen sits in the lower part and listens to the old lady talking.

Scolded Xue for a while, scolded Shen Yiyao for a while, in short, these two daughters-in-laws didn’t say anything good in her mouth.

Chen has always been silent, even if he hears something, he won’t talk much. The old lady had only one mother Zhao to vomit, but mother Zhao also helped her take care of many things, inevitably, she would have to capture the Chen family as a substitute. In the old lady’s heart, this is a daughter-in-law, and naturally she is a bit closer than her.

It’s just that this closeness has to be divided into circumstances. For example, the old lady would not ask Chen’s face why she hates Shen Yiyao and Xue’s two people so much. It’s nothing to the Xue family, she just scolds Xue family for taking power and not losing hands, and doing things at a disadvantage, and they can’t handle even small things in the day.

The one on the top just vents, the one on the bottom naturally thinks a lot more.

Although Chen is silent, she is not stupid. It’s just that her natural identity does not have any advantage in the mansion. First, she was ranked last, and the top two were sister-in-laws. Second, she entered the mansion late. When she married, Xue and Shen Yiyao had already married in. Be able to fall behind in everything. She was not a good word by nature, and she was like an invisible person in the house.

Even an invisible person is a master and the third wife in the house.

Shen Yiyao was busy outside, and Xue was not in the eyes of the old lady, so could she put a hand in it?

Butlers only exist in Chen’s imagination. In the early years, there was Shen Yiyao. Later, Aunt Pei had a better face than her in front of the old lady. It was Aunt Pei’s turn to retreat, and Xue, a daughter-in-law who liked the old lady. Now that Xue’s is also getting bored, is it possible to face her?

Of course, this is just the Chen family’s imagination, and she still listens to the old lady’s rumors in a dull face.

At this moment, the Xue family begged to see him outside the door.

The old lady’s eyes flashed, she stopped frothing, took a few sips of tea, followed her heart, and let Xue come in.

The Xue family simply came in, saying that he was incompetent and worried about the eldest girl’s marriage, so that he made many mistakes these days, and he did not dare to take matters into his hands, and wanted to hand over the stewardship.

The old lady was overjoyed in her heart, and she wanted to persuade her on the face, but the Xue family was quite resolute, so the old lady was not difficult to accept it.

The Xue family ordered people to go to the big house to hold keys and account books everywhere, while the old lady ordered the girl next to her to go to Jinseyuan to call Shen Yiyao over.

Chen’s heart was dim, Xue’s sitting there as if he hadn’t heard of it.

Shen Yiyao came soon, and the old lady pointed to the pile of things neatly and said that Xue’s own resignation is better if you take it over.

Shen Yiyao looked very embarrassed, but she was always reserved, and she could only look at the old lady and the Xue family. Following Xue’s gaze, she looked at the Chen family aside.

The light in Chen’s eyes made her stunned for a moment, and then looked again, but Chen’s eyes dropped.

She didn’t rush to sit down on a side chair, with a smile on her face: “My mother is so loving and trustworthy, it really makes my daughter-in-law so kind–” She paused, and saw Chen quickly looked up at her. , Bowed his head again, sighed in his heart, and said: “But you also know that I and my sister-in-law are in the same situation now. Where can I go to the housekeeper? Months are not too short.”

The old lady wanted to stop her, but Shen Yiyao directly asked Chen: “I wonder if the three younger siblings are willing to take this burden?”

Chen’s behavioral reaction was faster than the thoughts in her heart. Before she could react, she found that she had nodded her head. Now, I can only say: “Then I am disrespectful. I hope I won’t be entrusted by my mother and my two sisters-in-law.”

Her thoughts are naturally simple. Neither sister-in-law likes the old lady, but she has a lot more face than them. Maybe this is how the old lady wants to leave the housekeeping to her. Of course, the old lady won’t say it clearly, but you can’t let people not want it.

The old lady’s expression was very surprised, and she was able to show this way, which proved that she was very surprised.

Xue secretly smiled in his heart and said to Shen Yiyao: “Second siblings, there is something I want to ask you about, it’s the eldest girl.”

Shen Yiyao nodded, and said to the old lady: “Mother, then we will leave first.”

“By the way, the accounts of the third siblings are very simple, because regardless of the money, you only need to match the accounts with the accounts of the accounts. You can check it with the accounts. If there is anything wrong, come to my sister-in-law. ”

In fact, how could it be wrong? Xue had checked all the accounts a few days ago.

After speaking, the two retired, and they didn’t want to wait to see the old lady get angry.

The old lady pointed at Chen’s fingers trembling, she couldn’t accept that she was struggling, and was finally cut off by this idiot.

At this moment, Chen also understood that the old lady’s expression was not relieved but surprised. She was also a little wronged in her heart, “Mother, don’t you want your daughter-in-law to be the steward?”

The old lady was choked and shook her head, “No, how could it be possible.”

Chen’s expression was happy, “Daughter-in-law must not let her down!”

After speaking, the maid beside her with joy, picked up the small box with keys and a stack of ledger books, and prepared to go back to the three rooms for reconciliation.

After she left, the old lady’s face was black as charcoal, and her heart was sore. Seeing that her complexion was not good, the maid hurriedly took the pills, served her to take it, and then took her into the inner room.

Seeing this situation, a maid was very worried and asked if she should go to the doctor. Nowadays, there is not a single doctor left in the palace. If you ask, you will have to set up a car and go out to invite.

The old lady shook her head weakly. How could she let people know that she was heartbroken by anger, not to mention, please don’t ask the doctor for money!

She knows that her old troubles are going on from time to time. Although Doctor Chang is no longer there, the prescription for her is still there. She can be relieved if she asks someone to dispense the medicine. There is only one old problem of hers. , Can’t be angry, can’t be tired, just take a rest.

…

The Chen family took over the power of housekeeping as he wished, and the next day he called all the housekeepers and the housekeepers to Songboyuan to teach.

She thinks that butlers are naturally not aimless. You must know that people like them who don’t have other income, live by pointing to monthly bills all year round. Fortunately in the early years, she had a private house owned by herself, and the old lady would also subsidize one or two. But in recent years, the Fuzhong has cut its expenses and the old lady’s subsidy has also been cut off, so it is naturally tight.

Of course she also went to the old lady to cry poorly, but the old lady said that the girls are getting older, and now they have to prepare the dowry, but some places have been cut, and it is not that they can’t live. It is only clear that there are two girls in Sanfang, so it is impossible that if you will not get married in the future, you can only get rid of it in the end.

The old lady said it well, that the whole house is close to Rong’antang, so that after a few days when her expenses are reduced, she can understand the pain. In previous years, ice and charcoal have never been used, but now the summer ice is unbroken, but it is extremely rare. In the summer in Beijing, which is not so hot that it can’t be soaked in water.

There is also charcoal. In the past, the finest silver wire charcoal was used, which is smokeless and has no peculiar smell. Now it has been lowered and lowered. Not to mention the daily food and use, the mansion has not made new clothes for two seasons, and there is also the share of gold and silver jewelry, which is simply impossible to mention.

In the past, the Chen family was not too caring about the housekeeper. After seeing the Xue family’s housekeeper, the life of Dafang was moisturized, and it was inevitable to be moved.

In fact, everyone can understand this truth. The housekeeper is not the one that occupies the house. You don’t need to mention it yourself. The next housekeeper will come up. As for daily food, it doesn’t matter which one comes first. Others naturally do. Divide the rest. Not to mention taking advantage of it. There is a nurse next to the Chen family who urges her to make progress every day, and the Chen family can’t help but think again.

Now that he is finally in his arms, it’s not that the new official has three fires, and he wants to let the people below know that the people who should be fawning on in the future will be replaced. She is the Chen family, not the Xue family.

The Chen family jumped up and down in the mansion, and the Xue family laughed in the big room for a long time. After the laugh, he was a little sad. Everyone knows that even mosquito legs are meat. Now that the meat is gone, there is no income, so naturally you have to worry about it.

Shen Yiyao is also in a very strange mood now, she really doesn’t want to take care of things, and she has no time to break with this stall. If Chen hadn’t had that idea, she would prepare herself for the next step. Of course, she must also receive the foreign account together. It can be seen that Chen is so eager, how can she cut off other people’s thoughts, and simply adult beauty.

Yan Yan’s news has always been well-informed, knowing what happened that day, and almost passed away with a smile. He knew Shen Yiyao’s change in his heart, so he didn’t mention it.

Her work is indispensable here, and of course Xue’s contribution is also indispensable.

For this reason, she decided to solve problems for the big house. Since she was short of money, she would find a way to make money. She took the initiative to talk about the difficulties of the big house in front of Shen Yiyao. In the past few years, she helped her mother butler, and she naturally knew that Shen Yiyao still had a unique perspective in business.

If you don’t mention how much you can earn, at least you haven’t lost money. The woman opened her own shop to do business, and she was earning a lot of money. It’s slow, but it’s okay. Of course, this is compared with ordinary women. For Shen Yiyao, a small shop makes a lot of powder. If there are more shops, the sum of money in one month is actually not a lot.

Generally, every girl gets a dowry when she gets married. Those who are not good at business naturally sit in the mountains and are good at business. For example, Shen Yiyao, the dowry of Shili Hongzhuang in the early years did not lose much due to consumption over the years, but more than doubled.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich and rich.

Like now, Yan Yan also helped Shen Yiyao manage a few small shops, talking on paper is elegant, but it has to be practiced, all of which Shen Yiyao learned from her mother.

Shen Yiyao also felt that Xue was implicated by herself, and the two of them got along very well these days and became more and more affectionate. Without hesitation, they proposed to open a small ready-to-wear shop in partnership. The source of the goods was supplied by the silk and satin shop under her name. The price was naturally lower than elsewhere. This is a business that makes no money.

Although Xue is good at calculations, he is not good at doing business. It is due to lack of experience in this area. No one had ever handed her this to her in the past when she was in her natal family. I tried to do business twice before, and lost money, and then I didn’t dare to step into this trip again.

Seeing Shen Yiyao’s initiative to propose, she knew that this younger sibling was very rich. Since they did not point to this small amount of money, others also offered to partner with her, so naturally it was a way to give money to her family. Not much investment, only five hundred taels of silver for a family, Shen Yiyao’s shop, even renting out. Although it hurts a bit, she still happily took out her money and gave it to Shen Yiyao, so that she didn’t have to worry about losing money even though she let go of her hands and feet.

Regardless of whether others are so generous in their hearts, Zi Shao has done a remarkable job on the surface. Shen Yiyao was not vague, so she ordered the following to proceed, but she didn’t care, but let the Xue family come by herself, and she could only use it to give pointers. The shopkeeper used Shen Yiyao’s person, and he could replace it when Xue Clan became familiar with it or had someone of his own.

Where Xue did not understand the meaning of this, he was even more grateful.

On the other hand, Yan Yan also became generous with Yan Ru and Yan Ling.

Depending on the early days of Dafang and the others, even though Yan Yan got along well with Yan Ru and Yan Ling, there was still some estrangement in her heart. As Xue and Shen Yiyao got close, she was not a stingy person. When she met Yan Ru and Yan Ling, she always wore old clothes, and occasionally gave them some fabrics.

But the two of them didn’t accept it. After that, it was the pretty years, and Yan Ru is now sensible, knowing that the family’s situation is not good. Xue’s act of saving her dowry wholeheartedly, she also saw it, and she didn’t want this or that like she did in the early years.

And Yan Ling, after Xue’s words that day, asked her servant to give her some satin. Since you have to learn from the housekeeper and learn the rules, you can’t show your short-sightedness in front of the parenting mother or the servant. After that, the mansion went down to assign sub-routines, and Xue did not pull it at all. But unfortunately, the mansion has not made new clothes for two seasons. Yan Ling has always been careful and asked Aunt Wang to cut her two clothes. When the facade, the others have been left untouched.

Both of them are usually dressed in half-old home clothes. Compared with the two, Yan Yan wears new clothes every day. Even if she is careless, she won’t be without feeling.

But both of them refused to send the fabric. Yan Yan couldn’t help it. After checking the stature of the two, the maid came out with a lot of clothes to pick them out.

These clothes are all new, Yan Yan is not a particularly cute girl, but Shen Yiyao loves her daughter, eight sets a season, inside and out, arranged for the people below to do it. But Yan Yan has been growing up in the past two years, and she has too many clothes to wear. Many of them can’t be worn without her upper body.

Neither she nor Shen Yiyao is a person who would wrong themselves, so they can do it if they can’t wear it. These unupperformed clothes come from this. In addition, Yan Yan was born tall, with an anterior/convex/backward development of less than fourteen years ago. Yan Ru is a thin body, and Yan Ling is a petite and exquisite figure. There is no way if it is small, it can be changed if it is big.

“Don’t dislike you two. I have never been upset with these clothes. They grow too fast. My mother has a lot of things and can only press the bottom of the box. The materials are all good materials, but they may not fit your stature, but Just change it. Of course, if you don’t want it, I can only take it back and press the bottom of the box.”

Both of them also understand Yan Yan’s temperament. She has one thing to say, but she is not happy on her face. Since she can take out her clothes to give away, she must not be an outsider, not to mention Yan Yan is not a person who will take her clothes out to give away.

Besides, even if they pass through, neither of them knows that the third girl has many good things, and the one who can get on her body will definitely not be bad.

“Then I will first thank Sister Third.”

Yan Ling was not polite, so she immersed herself in picking it up, picked up a moon-white undergarment embroidered with lavender primroses, and said to Yan Ru: “Big sister, you like plain elegance, do you like this one?”

Yan Ru didn’t have an opinion in his heart, but a thin-skinned face. Seeing Yan Ling talking to her, she smiled at Yan Yan, and looked down at the undergarment. The fabric was excellent and the embroidery on it was quite delicate and beautiful. Yan Ru liked it at first glance.

The last two divided them. Most of the eye pigments belonged to Yan Ru. Yan Ling looked pretty and could hold her beautiful, so they all went to her.

Seeing this, Yan Yan was very happy and became very interested, and asked Mei Xue to go through the cage and take out some thick clothes that could not be worn in winter.

It’s just autumn, and it’s good to wear thinner, but it’s not good to be colder. However, she has a lot of bottoms all year round, and now it is good to share them with others, lest Mei Xue will be a pity when she sorts out the cages, and she is upset by hearing it.

In the end, Yan Ru and the girl next to Yan Ling ran back and forth a few times before sending the clothes back. When the girl could not be allowed to go back, there was a girl holding a bunch of clothes next to him, which looked a bit too bad.

Even so, it fell into the eyes of some people.

Those who are jealous and envious don’t have to mention it. If you don’t talk about those good clothes, others can feel the meaning of being naked. The three girls have been domineering since childhood, and the relationship can be imagined by allowing her to take the initiative to give things away.

And Shen Yiyao lamented that her daughter finally learned to make friends. This daughter has been alone since she was a child and doesn’t like to socialize with others. There are naturally reasons for this, and Shen Yiyao has been able to experience it in the past few years. But there is no urgency and can only be guided slowly.

Aunt Wang’s dexterity changed Yan Ling’s body that night.

Yan Ling saw that Yan Ru was silent, and she didn’t wear it at the time. Xue family is busy these days, so where is there time for Yan Ru to do this. None of the few girls around Yan Ru were dexterous. Everything was good. The two of them came back at night tossing and watching for a long time, and they liked it more and more. But it would be a pity if the craftsmanship is ruined.

Yan Ling offered to ask Aunt Wang to help, but Yan Ru did not refuse.

Aunt Wang was quite flattered when she saw her daughter took the eldest girl’s clothes back. She said it was the eldest girl’s, and she carefully changed her clothes after staying up all night.

The next day, Yan Ru put it on just right, but she couldn’t bear to take it off. Yan Ling went to put on her own body too, and the two went to Sister Chang to attend class.

After Xue knew about it, he didn’t say anything, but added two dishes to Yan Ling in the evening.

The things were made by Aunt Wang, but Yan Ling was the beneficiary. Everyone understands this.

***

It seemed that the sky became cold overnight.

The sky was overcast as if it was about to fall, Yimeng came back from the outside, and when she entered the door, she told the little **** the porch whether it was going to snow.

The little girl is not very old, but she is very eloquent, she speaks eagerly and quickly, and her voice is clear.

“Only now, sister Yimeng, it’s true that the servant girl looks like it’s going to rain.”

I thought about it as I dreamed, too, it was autumn, and it was not time to snow.

After entering the room, the girl was sitting on the big kang in the west, looking down at the account book. Yimeng walked over and put a black bag on the kang.

“Girl, this is something Young Master Luo handed you.”

In recent years, several intimate girls in Yimeng also know that it is Master Luo who often contact the girls. They were a little older than Yan Yan, and in private they had guessed whether Master Luo liked her girl.

But it doesn’t look like it at all, because Master Luo has always been a hippie smiley face, and this matter was known to Mama Zou. Mama Zou told them to talk about the master privately, so she didn’t dare to pay attention to it anymore.

But Yan Yan didn’t know about these.

Yan Yan put down the ledger in her hand and looked at the burden.

Since she returned to the house, there has been no news from Luo Xiaopang.

Seeing him look strange that day, and then in this situation again, Yan Yan was still wondering if something happened, and she was going to send someone to ask about it. It’s just that I’m busy these days, I’m too busy to forget it, and I was a little surprised when I saw that I was handing something over.

Yan Yan pushed open the account book, and Yimeng placed the burden on the Kang table in front of her. After opening it, there is a piece of rice paper on the top with a few large characters written on it. It is not suitable for her to be present when looking at this thing.

She couldn’t help but smile, waved to make Yimeng retreat. ?
