Concubine Raiders Chapter 95: Accompanying room (middle)
Chapter 95 Accompanying Room (Middle) (Pink Ticket)
Mother Tao walked in with a smile, holding a stack of account books in her hand.
She bent her knees to salute the eleven mother: "Madam!" Her expression was very calm.
Eleven Niang nodded and asked the maid to bring her Xiao Xiaozi.
Mother Tao sat down and the little maid served tea. She handed the account book in her hand to the eleven mother: "This is the account book that Mrs. Tai handed over to me after the aunt's grandmother went. Now you come, naturally it will be handed over to you. Please have a look."
Eleven Niang did not take the account, and smiled: "Since Mrs. Wife has left it to you, please help with it for the time being!"
Mother Tao was startled, and then she understood what Eleven Niang meant.
She didn't want to intervene in brother's affairs.
Mother Tao flushed with anger and shook all over. But he didn't dare to tear his face with her, and just said with good words: "Fourth Madame, I am a servant after all. Taking care of the things left by my aunt and grandma, the name is not correct and the words are not right. Not better than you, the master. For one thing, better than us. Ten sentences are strong..."
It's been more than a year since Yuanniang passed away, and she married again. Elevenniang originally suspected that Mama Tao could not restrain the people below. Now listening to this tone, it is more certain.
She simply smiled and said: "But who is gossiping? Or who is not convinced?"
Mother Tao was startled and looked at Eleven Mother.
Didn’t the older lady say that she was young and didn’t understand anything, so she could just coax her with good words? How come you seem to know it? Or is someone teaching her? This is also wrong. In order to prevent those women who don’t know how to advance and retreat, relying on old and knowing things to encourage eleven mothers, so there is no mother who arranges dowry... Is the eldest wife looking away?
She was up and down, but she saw Eleven Niang picking up the tea cup and taking a quick sip.
Although the posture is very graceful and the look is very pleasant, Mother Tao looks more anxious in her heart.
Eleven Niang is obviously going to fight her time battle—it seems to know something!
But now the situation cannot help her. Eleven Niang can take over the stall Yuan Niang left behind anytime, anyway, the things are in his hands, and what happens is his own business. But I couldn’t wait... The smelly girl in Wanxiang pressed harder and harder, and the people underneath followed him and dragged on. It was a trivial matter to disturb the wife. Let the third wife know that it’s a small joke by her, I’m afraid she will take advantage of it. The incident turned out to be with the aunt*.
Anyway, there is a big wife behind Eleven...
The thoughts just passed by, and Mother Tao has made up her mind.
"Madam is really hot-eyed." She smiled with some flattery, "You just came in, logically, I shouldn't have bothered you with these trivia so early. But I was really forced by the little hoof Wanxiang There is no way. I have to come to you."
It's pretty much the same.
Eleven Niang nodded secretly in her heart.
Before marrying, she asked about it. When Yuanniang got married, she was four big maids, two mothers, a four-room companion house, two yards, and two farms. The four maids were married early, one of them was Wanxiang, who was the favorite of Yuanniang. They married Chen Xu, a young man in Xu’s family who had no father or mother, and the couple took charge of the kitchen—Chen Xu was responsible for the purchase. , Wanxiang in charge. Of the two mothers, one was Mama Tao, who was Yuanniang's nanny, and the other died of illness ten years ago. Both yards have three entrances, one in Four Hutong, one in Shibei Hutong, and both around Liubu. The annual rent can be more than 200 taels. The two farms are both in Daxing County, one with 6,000 acres and the other with 2,000 acres. The 6,000 mu one is managed by Tao Ma's son Tao Cheng, and the 2,000 mu one is managed by another companion.
In this way, it should be that Wanxiang and Gao Nian are dissatisfied with Tao's mother and son that they are in charge of Yuanniang's things and can't profit them!
She has a faint expression: "What are you talking about?"
Mother Tao told the eleven mother what happened.
Same as Eleven Niang guessed. Since the third wife took charge, she replaced Chen Xu with the excuse of the shad last time, and then withdrew Gao Nian's eldest son, who was working as a errand at the comprador's office, because of insufficient flowers and candles during Yuanniang's funeral. As for the others, those who guarded the gates, watched the night, and ran the garden, more of them were withdrawn... but they did not move Tao's mother and son. Wan Xiang got involved with these people, arguing every day to see Eleven.
Eleven Niang smiled: "Since you want to see me, let them come!"
Mother Tao smiled and said: "Accordingly, they should also come to greet you. But there are a few things I have to tell you first, so that you don’t suffer."
"Mom, please speak." Eleven Niang smiled.
"I think, that night Xiang, Gaopan group of people, I'm afraid they all made up their minds to let you help with an errand, you must grit your teeth and can't agree."
Tao's words surprised Eleven Niang slightly. She thought that Tao's mother would try to convince her to help these people.
"Most of the income from the dowry of the aunt and grandma is in the farm that Tao Cheng manages. No matter how troublesome those people are, they can't play any tricks. Now you have just entered the door, and Mrs. Tai has nothing to say, so you go to fight with the third lady. Those. If you win, others think it should be. You are Mrs. Hou Ye, but if you lose, then you will make a big joke." After speaking, I felt that I was not talking and laughed, "I didn't mean you would lose, I It means that without the support of Lord Hou and Mrs. Tai nodded, your chances of winning are not great."
"Mom made sense."
"So, your top priority is to serve Master Hou and Mrs. Good wife. For other things, it is not too late to plan."
As expected, she is the most powerful mother in front of Yuanniang. She is very delicate and considerate!
A glimmer of appreciation flashed through the eyes of Eleven Niang: "Just do as mom said!"
She found that Mother Tao was relaxed: "Then I will let Wanxiang and the others come and kowtow to you!"
Eleven mothers responded.
Mother Tao left the account book: "This is the person from the aunt's grandma and the accounts I have helped manage this year."
Eleven Niang asked the little maid to call Amber and flipped through the account books.
The handwriting is the same, and it's just a re-transcription.
Just as Amber came in, she handed Amber the account book: "Look carefully, and remember these names and their relationship with each other clearly, and then see if there is anyone who can take on the responsibility."
Amber answered the account book.
Eleven Niang raised her elbow in thought.
In all fairness, Yuanniang’s housekeeper has been doing very well in recent years. She accompanies the house to open Ye Sanye. She has married or married some of the more senior housekeepers of the Xu family. The most oily compradors are all hers. Even the accountant was settled by two people and went in... Even if she changed into herself, she might not do better than her!
After a while, Mother Tao brought five or six women and two men.
She introduced one of the clever-eyed women: "This is Chen Xu's house. The girl's name is Wanxiang. Now she is in charge of the kitchen." She pointed to a tall and thin man, "This is Gaopan. Originally, the comprador specialized in incense candles and charcoal fire."
In other words, there is nothing more to do now!
Eleven mother thought.
Mother Tao introduced several others to her. They used to be in charge of one party, but now they are all at home.
Satisfied the eleven mothers, and the Gao Pan couldn’t wait to say: "Madam, you have to be the master of us. We have been with the Luo family for a lifetime. Just like this, the Sanfang was replaced. It's not only the face of the dead aunt*, but also your face."
Several other people also joined in one after another, and the community was excited.
Eleven mothers found that the man named Yang Huizu and the woman named Wei Lu's wife were silent. According to Ms. Tao, this Yang Huizu followed Yuanniang to Xu's house when she was a teenager. He used to be in charge of the rouge gouache and four-season clothes of the servants at the comprador's office, and Wei Lu's wife was in charge of the night in the inner courtyard.
Eleven Niang comforted the people a few words, saying that she had just walked in, and some things were still unclear, and she could talk about it when she figured out the situation, and then beat them away.
The faces of those people can't help but show disappointment.
Eleven Niang and Tao Mama went to Yuan Niang's yard.
As if she was still there, everything remained the same.
I think it is Tao Ma's contribution!
She asked Amber to order people according to the booklet given by Tao's mother.
The four maidservants of Yanhong, Green Calyx, Purple and Baolan, and the four second-class maids of Meiqin, Zhuxiu, Guifen, and Shuizhi, what else are there more than twenty third-class and fourth-class Fangfei and Taorui Maid, there are dozens of women, there are so many people, there are more than forty people in total.
Eleven mothers discussed with Mama Tao: "You can help find a good house for you to let go of the elders! Leave a few more savvy and capable people to help take care of the yard, don’t let this place go to waste."
Mother Tao nodded, thinking of Yuanniang who had passed away, tears were in her eyes.
Eleven mothers looked at it as it was getting late, and went to Mrs. Tai.
The third and fifth ladies are here.
One was laying chopsticks with the maids, and the other squeezed on the kang to talk affectionately with the wife.
Seeing the eleven mother coming in, the two of them greeted her one after another, and Mrs. Tai also pointed to the opposite Kang: "I heard you have been busy all morning, are you tired? Take a break."
I heard...who told me?
Eleven mothers now smiled at the corners of the third wife.
She smiled and bowed to Mrs. Tai, then sat on the kang and told Mrs. Tai of her plan: "...Like Yan Hong and Lu E, they are not young anymore. Let me ask for your idea. Is it feasible?"
"This is a good thing!" Madam Tai smiled, "That's it!"
Eleven mothers answered "Yes", and the third lady over there has already arranged the chopsticks.
Mrs. Tai didn't want her daughter-in-law to make rules, so Yao Huang asked Brother Chen and Sister Zhen to come out. After the two saluted the elders, they sat around for lunch.
The wife and the children went to take a nap, and the three wives retired.
Madam Fifth took Eleven's arm: "Shall we come to Madam Tai to draw cards in the afternoon?"
In the morning, Mrs. Tai also mentioned wiping the cards together~IndoMTL.com~ It seems that Mrs. Tai often finds someone to wipe the cards in the afternoon...
Eleven Niang thought, and smiled: "I just can't."
The third lady politely refused: "How can I be blessed, there are a lot of things waiting!"
The fifth lady smiled at Eleven Mother: "It doesn't matter, I will teach you."
Eleven Niang smiled, and everyone left.
On the way, Eleven Mother told Amber: "If you have nothing to do, just walk around with Mama Tao to see what those people are doing? I take this opportunity to see how these people are. Especially ask about that Yang Hui What did Zu and Wei Lu's wife do when they went out from us?"
Amber nodded and took note.
