Fingertip dandy, the Republic of China Jia women want to start a career

Just turning into the gate, Zhilan expected that her father and aunt would question her for a while, and her heart became heavy.
Before she could make up her mind, there was a voice from the living room. Just listening to the voice, one could imagine that the speaker must have a majestic expression on his face, and the voice said: "Brother Zhou, we have been business partners for so many years. Things, I have to come to ask."
Then I heard something "slap" thrown on the coffee table, and the voice continued: "Brother Zhou, look at these things! Although we pay attention to Western style, but for us Chinese, Zhou etiquette is the foundation of our life! Your Zhou family will Can't even afford to hire a matchmaker? Besides, we are considered to be well-matched, you son of the Zhou family, when the etiquette comes, we will consider it to some extent, how can we have an affair!"
"Who's here?" Zhi Lan quietly asked Yan Cui, who was picking her up, somewhat guessing.
"It's the master of the Qi family who is here."
The appearance of the Qi family must be related to the eldest brother.
"Come on, let's go upstairs." As she spoke, she led Yan Cui up the stairs quietly from behind.
Mr. Zhou was stunned, and suddenly came to his senses, apologizing: "This... oh! It's my Hua'er who is ignorant, but you know the child now, Hua'er never told us about these things, me and his mother You have to ask him to find out. Brother, forgive me!"
"I saw this thing, but it's okay to say. Somehow it got into my mother's hands, and now the whole family is uneasy. My brother, it's not that I, the big brother, made things difficult for you, but it's really hard for the old lady to explain. I heard from the maid that your family The young master secretly asked our Shanshan to go out many times. I heard that Zhou Yuehua used to be famous outside. I admit that I have not been strict with my daughter's family education, and I am going back to teach her. But brother, you have to take care of your son. The Zhou family is legitimate. In times of crisis, let him stop causing trouble outside, so as not to bring you disaster." Master Qi spoke very seriously, and he was very merciless.
Hearing Zhilan frowned slightly, she quietly looked down from the upstairs, and felt that Mr. Qi was tall and majestic. She couldn't help but pictured the impressive second concubine of the Qi family and the plump and beautiful third concubine in her mind. too.
"I'm sorry, bro, I'm bothering you, I will discipline my Hua'er well." Master Zhou endured his displeasure, "If there is something wrong with your daughter, we will take responsibility for it, and I can still be trusted after so many years. "

"Brother Zhou, my words are a bit harsh, but for the good of your Zhou family!" Master Qi added, "Well, if I find out that your boss is about my daughter again, I am not as polite as I am now! Farewell !"
The old man accompanied the guests off, and after entering the door, he sat on the sofa for a while.The eldest wife did not dare to say much and sat silently with her.
"Look at your wonderful son! I don't have to worry about Qing'er!" He jumped up, "Zhou Gui, if that bastard Yuehua comes back, I want him to come to the study!"
"Yes!" Butler Zhou replied.

The eldest lady got up, feeling dizzy, and hurriedly grabbed the armrest of the sofa.Seeing that the situation was wrong, the housekeeper quickly ordered a few servant girls to support her, but the eldest wife faltered: "Send me to the Buddhist hall."

Zhilan saw the back of the eldest lady upstairs, and thought of her as a strong woman who was mercilessly hit by Yuehua's careless things again and again, and she couldn't bear it if she were herself, so she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.After the figure of the eldest lady disappeared at the corner of the stairs, she came out from the dark place and went downstairs to look around.
Just as he took the newspaper on the coffee table in his hand, he heard the door slam. Housekeeper Zhou greeted him, and the two young masters entered the room step by step.The housekeeper and the young master whispered a few words, the young master's expression changed, and he hurried upstairs to the study before changing his clothes.Without knowing it, Mu Qing went in, handed the changed coat to the servant, and Zhi Lan directly pulled Mu Qing into her room.
Mu Qing let her pull her, stepped up the stairs in two or three steps, and asked, "Why is Lan'er in such a hurry?"
"Shh, go into the room and say."
Mu Qing followed his words, entered the room and sat down.
"Do you know what happened to elder brother and was called to the study?" Zhi Lan was rather mysterious.
"what happened again?"
"Do you remember what I told you the day I came back to listen to the play, about the elder brother and the third miss of the Qi family? Today, when the Dongchuang incident happened, Mr. Qi came here to discuss with father."
"Oh. It's because of that. This matter is easy to solve. If they are really affectionate, we will do our best, and we will be fine."
"I don't think so! Mr. Qi's words are ugly today. After all, it's because of the bad reputation of the elder brother. Everyone knows. I have a selfish idea. If Dad can just remove the elder brother's errand and hand over the silver building to you Enough."
Zhilan's words were sincere. When she was sleeping in the car, Zhou Muqing whispered in her ears, thinking about how helpless she was when Li Shaowen took her away, if Wan De was in the hands of her second brother Muqing Here, those who have someone to back them up will definitely not be at the mercy of Li Shaowen.
Besides, she herself has eyes to see!Watching Zhou Yuehua's big and small absurdities with cold eyes, how could the eldest brother be a business material?The family's Wande property can only be obtained in the hands of Mu Qing's second brother, and he must support him unconditionally both in public and in private.
"It's not very likely. In the past, my elder brother made so many troubles, and my father didn't withdraw his errand. Today's matter is nothing. It's because you have so many thoughts in your head!" Mu Qing smiled slightly.
He said so, more or less thinking in his heart that the Yinlou is beyond its power, if the situation is opened up from now on, the situation of Wande's capital chain will fundamentally change.But the old man didn't say this, so he couldn't mention it, even if he had a mental activity like Lan'er.
"Oh. That's right." Zhilan replied, still feeling lucky and premonitioned.
"Look." Mu Qing suddenly added another sentence, Zhi Lan looked at his pensive expression, and understood that there was some activity in his heart, so it was very good.
At dinner, the atmosphere was quite heavy.Eldest brother Yue Hua just concentrated on eating, while the eldest wife looked gloomy.Mu Qingzhilan felt the atmosphere of the hurricane and rain, and looked at each other.
After everyone finished using up, the servants cleaned up the dishes, and the old man announced: "After dinner today, I have something to say. Qing'er, you have been with me for a long time, and your experience has matured. I decided, starting tomorrow, by You take over the work of Hua'er Wonder Bank."
"Master, I don't agree with your arrangement! Naturally, I will discipline Hua'er well. How can you be so eccentric and dismiss Hua'er for a trivial matter!" The eldest wife stood up and objected, her facial features distorted with anger.
"Can you discipline your son well? It's a joke! If Hua'er doesn't embarrass me, I'm going to burn it! It's because of your pampering and indulgence that Hua'er has committed such scandals one after another. How else do you want to discipline? Wande is in a critical moment now, Huaer, I just want to ask you, where did the working capital of the silver building go? Tell me!" Yuehua lowered her head, the eldest wife was choked by the old man, and suddenly she was helpless Be right.

"Besides, is this a trivial matter? Hua'er, as a man, you have to be brave in doing things, and you can't always clean up the mess for your father. In addition, you should check the accounts of the bank within two days, and hand over the accounts and keys to Qing'er. After that, you should reflect on yourself at home, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
"Yes, father!" Yuehua replied slowly.Zhilan's wish came true, as expected, a woman's intuition is not false, she was secretly delighted, and in a blink of an eye, she saw that the eldest wife's face was full of resentment, as if she could faintly read hatred, she turned her head to look at Mu Qing again, Mu Qing's eyes were calm There is no wave, and the mind is dignified.
"Qing'er, come to the study." After finishing speaking, the old man summoned Mu Qing to the study alone for a conversation.

The old man and Mu Qing left, the eldest wife stood up slowly, Yue Hua hurriedly supported her, the eldest wife glared at him and angrily pushed back a few times.Yuehua persisted in supporting her, the eldest wife did not break free, and the two slowly went upstairs to the Buddhist hall.Only Zhilan was left in the dining room.
Steward Zhou stepped forward at the right time: "Miss San, are you going upstairs to your room or going for a walk in the garden?"
"What?" Zhilan was taken aback, "Let me think about it... you guys go first."
"Okay, please go ahead." The butler retreated knowingly.
As she said that, the cleaning maid came in. The dining room couldn't stay any longer. She walked to the sofa in the hall, flipped through today's newspaper, and hurriedly finished flipping through it. Seeing that there was no one around, she wanted to go for a walk in the garden. When they reached the gate, they were stopped by Mu Qing upstairs: "Lan'er."
She was startled by his voice, and was a little surprised to see Mu Qing upstairs.
Mu Qing came down the stairs quickly: "I'll take a walk with you, it's dark in the garden outside."
Either way, it's better to go together in two than to go alone.
She was one with him.There is no moonlight, and only the rustling of the leaves in the breeze can be heard in the ears, and occasionally there are a few insects, making the night even more silent.Zhilan was the first to break the silence: "Brother, congratulations, I really hit the mark."
"Why are you happy about the silver building? The burden on my shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, alas! Lan'er, I'm afraid I will be busier and busier in the future, and I will have less time to take care of you. You have to take care of everything by yourself. At home, you Life is hard. There is Li Shaowen watching outside. You are the one I am most worried about right now!"
"I know, but what can I do? I just have to be more careful." Zhilan sighed, "Actually, I feel so boring at home. I only hate that I am a daughter, and I have nothing to do at home every day. I really envy you, brother!"
Mu Qing thought for a while and said: "If you feel bored, I have a suggestion. Don't you know how to draw? Recently, I found that the jewelry in our Wande Yinlou looks nothing new. I remember that I seem to have collected some patterns at home. You learn how to draw and draw at home, maybe you can use it in the future, and you can also pass the time. You have studied in school at a young age, so it is a pity to be idle at home."
It was really a good idea. Seeing her eyes light up, she knew that this proposal had been mentioned in her heart.
"Well, good! Let's do it like this! As expected of my brother, he can understand me."
He took advantage of her acting like a baby, and seeing her smile made him happy too.
She just had the ability to calm him down with a smile inadvertently.Tang Minghuang called Concubine Yang Guiyu Xieyuhua back then, but that's all.
"What are you going to do after taking over the Yinlou?" Zhilan asked.
"Father was so angry that he only gave my elder brother two days. If you think about how it is possible to clear up so many years of accumulated accounts in only two days, it is too unrealistic. So I specifically suggested to my father to give my elder brother more time, and my father agreed. I want to get in touch with master silversmiths first, and ask them for advice. There is no rush to do a good job in the silver building."
"That's right. Tomorrow, I'll go to Dad's study to look for books. After your bank takes over, I can get started early so that I can share your worries."
"Okay!" Mu Qing lightly patted Xia Zhilan's shoulder, encouraging her and herself, "Thank you for your hard work, Lan'er!"

The next morning, just as Mu Qing opened the door, Yu Zhilan came out of the room.
"So early?"
"I'm going to Dad's study to find information."
"Do you need me to help you?"
"No need, bro. I want to do this on my own." Zhilan's eyes glowed with confidence, "Hurry up and have breakfast, bro, you must be hungry too."
"Okay." Mu Qing replied, but she was watched as she walked towards the old man's study, and did not go downstairs for dinner until she was no longer visible.
It was the first time that Zhilan stepped into the old man's study, and everything was new.Dad puts it in order, look at those pens, inks, papers and inkstones are neatly collected, and the letters and official documents are filed separately.She keenly noticed that one of the drawers was locked, probably with a seal or something.
She was obsessed with finding books and materials, and raised her eyes to search the bookshelves. After a rough search, she found some notes and books. She took them all together and looked through them one by one. The useful ones were placed on the table, and the useless ones were still inserted back into the bookshelf. inside.Busy, unknowingly time flies by.
"How is it?" Mu Qing came up after eating, and went to the study to look at her. He stood at the door of the study, leaning on the door and looking at her. For some reason, seeing her smile was very satisfying.
"Brother, I have gained a lot! The stamps on the table are all suitable for me to study hard."
"Lan'er, you are very talented. If you work hard over time, you will do well."
"En. I'll take these in the room first."
"Don't be too tired. You can't eat a fat man in one go, and the same goes for reading."
Zhilan nodded.
From a distance, Steward Zhou saw it, and made up his mind to go forward: "Oh, it's the second young master and the third miss. I just came to report that there was movement in the master's study, so I came here to take a look."
"It's fine here." Mu Qing said lightly.
"Yes, since the second young master said so, I will order someone to clean it up." Zhou Butler said along the way.
