After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

In the blink of an eye, it is the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Yuan Huiniang is busy welcoming and sending off gifts. In addition, Li Yueniang will also help when she is free.

Yan Qingqing meant that Li Yueniang should also learn to be a housekeeper, so that Yuan Huiniang would discuss matters at home in person.

Moreover, these skills can be used even if Li Yueniang arrives at her husband's house.

Yuan Huiniang also praised Li Yueniang's intelligence in front of Yan Qingqing, saying that she could learn anything quickly.

On this day, both Yuan Huiniang and Li Yueniang were in Yan Qingqing's room to report to her on the delivery of boxing gifts during this period and the arrangements for tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

This was not the first time that Yuan Huiniang had taken care of these things, so she did it with ease.

Including the human relations with Fucheng, they were all handled very properly.

Yuan Huiniang had just finished speaking when the concierge came over and reported that someone was coming from the capital to give him a gift.

Their family has almost no contact with people in the capital, and if they are called relatives, they only have Li Xinniang.

However, Li Xiniang had not even written a family letter since her marriage to the capital, so Yuan Huiniang and the others did not dare to expect that the gift-giver was sent by Li Xiniang.

However, Yan Qingqing said calmly: "Since we are here, let people come in."

Soon the concierge ushered in a manager-looking man.

After the man came in, he kowtowed to Yan Qingqing and then said: "I am the second steward of the Wu family in the capital. On the orders of our young master and young lady, I came here to give Ming Zhaoshuo a festive gift."

Yan Qingqing glanced at him and said, "In that case, get up. Manager Wu has worked hard all the way."

Manager Wu saw that Yan Qingqing was not enthusiastic about him, and knew that Yan Qingqing might not like him as the second manager.

But think about it, although the Wu family started early, they are still a merchant in the end.

Yan Qingqing was a real third-grade official, a Ming Zhaoshuo man conferred by the emperor, and his eldest son was also an eighth-grade agricultural officer. It's natural to look down on him.

But what Manager Wu doesn't understand is why his wife still looks down on her when she has such a high family background.

Fortunately for their young lady, their young master is protecting her, otherwise she wouldn’t know how she would be treated by her.

But even so, the young lady can't get away with it. After all, their wife is the mother-in-law, and the young lady can't afford to be slapped with an unfilial hat.

But Manager Wu didn't dare to say this in front of Yan Qingqing.

Yuan Huiniang saw the slight silence and said, "Since Manager Wu is the manager of the Wu family, I would like to ask how my sister is at the Wu family? Why didn't she come back? Did you ask you to bring a letter back?"

Not only Yuan Huiniang is concerned about this issue, but Li Yueniang on the side is also looking at Manager Wu expectantly.

Although Yan Qingqing said she didn't forgive Li Xinniang, the way she listened with open ears also betrayed her.

After all, this is a child that I have loved so much that I can't truly ignore him.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Steward Wu's face when he heard this, but he returned to normal immediately, and then replied: "Young Madam, what you said is really asking a lot of questions.

The villain is just the steward of the second door and usually has no access to the inner courtyard.

I really don’t know the specific situation of my young lady.

As for the letter, the young lady did not give it to the villain. She just asked the villain to send a message to the family to say that everything was well with her, so that the family would not miss her. "

Yuan Huiniang and Li Yueniang were a little disappointed when they heard this. They thought that Li Xiniang would come back with a letter even if she didn't come back in person.

However, the embarrassment in Manager Wu's eyes was not hidden from Yan Qingqing, and she knew that Li Xinniang's life would not be easy.

Thinking that Wu Jingzhi actually didn't keep his word and couldn't protect Li Xinniang, the cold air from Yan Qingqing's body kept coming out.

Manager Wu suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and a sense of oppression swept through his body.

So he quickly took out a gift list from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Qingqing and said: "This is the gift list details, please ask Ming Zhaoshuo to take a look."

Ruyi on the side received Yan Qingqing's signal, then stepped forward to take the gift list, and then handed it to Yan Qingqing with both hands.

Yan Qingqing immediately opened it and looked at it. Most of them were gold and silver jewelry and fabrics. In terms of freshness, the two buckets of crabs are probably the most delicious.

However, I don’t know if they are still alive after being transported from the capital so far away.

In the past, this gift would not have been considered light to the Li family. But in Yan Qingqing's current capacity, these things are really not enough.

However, Yan Qingqing is not a picky person. She is very happy that Li Xinniang has such a heart, but she doesn't know whether these things were sent by Li Xinniang.

So Yan Qingqing told Yuan Huiniang: "You pick some things from the warehouse and bring them back to your eldest sister.

In addition, you should also calculate the dividends from the embroidery workshop in the past six months and ask Manager Wu to bring them back to your eldest sister. "

Yuan Huiniang quickly agreed after hearing this.

Yan Qingqing looked at Manager Wu and said, "Go back and tell your young master and young lady that I have been involved in many affairs recently and I really can't get away from them.

When I get some free time, I have to go to the capital for a walk.

The emperor rewarded me with a mansion in the capital, and no one was cleaning the house.

Let them have some free time and send someone to clean it frequently to avoid dust collecting, which would be bad. "

The threatening meaning of Yan Qingqing's words was obvious. Manager Wu could naturally hear it and replied with a cold sweat on his face: "Don't worry, Mr. Ming Zhaoshuo, I will definitely bring you your words."

Yan Qingqing then waved him off.

After Manager Wu left, Yuan Huiniang and Li Yueniang looked at Yan Qingqing with worried faces.

Both of them are human beings. From Manager Wu's words and Yan Qingqing's attitude, I can guess that Li Xinniang may not have a very good life in the Wu family.

But Li Xinniang was thousands of miles away in the capital, so even if they wanted to, they were powerless.

How could Yan Qingqing not know what they were thinking when she saw their expressions.

She was still angry in her heart and said angrily: "It's useless for you to see me, she chose the path herself.

Whether her life is good or not depends entirely on her own destiny.

However, I can still give him gifts this year, which shows that my life is still going well. "

The two people heard this and looked at Yan Qingqing with some confusion.

Although both of them are talented housekeepers, the environment of the Li family is too simple and clean, and there is nothing secretive in the backyard, so some things are naturally unexpected.

Yan Qingqing helplessly spread the knowledge about house fighting to them.

The two people who heard this were stunned. Only now did they understand how much Yan Qingqing's family rules favored them.

If the people in the concubine were really fighting for favor and fighting for the power of the housekeeper as Yan Qingqing said, they would probably be killed by others within a few days.

The more this happens, the more worried they are about Li Xinniang's situation, but fortunately Wu Jingzhi does not have a concubine now.

Thinking of this, Yuan Huiniang said: "Mom, when I return the gift, I will make a copy of our house rules and bring it to my eldest sister."

When Yan Qingqing heard this, she glanced at Yuan Huiniang. The daughter-in-law here was quite clever, and then she nodded and agreed.
