Now that they talked about looking at the account books and the housekeeper, Mrs. Yang San naturally wanted to continue the conversation.

Mr. Dong's eyes lit up. Her future daughter-in-law was still learning to read account books. Mingjun could teach her!

"Ouch~! Reading the ledger is tiring. Jinglan wants to learn from Mingjun in the future! Let Jinglan do what she likes and enjoy her leisure time!"

"Or spend more time with the third lady or the old lady!"

Mrs. Yang San had a good impression of Mr. Dong just now, but now she frowned a little. What Mr. Dong said was different from what Ming Jun said!

"You always have to learn, and I also want to make Jinglan more capable!"

"To be honest with you, Madam Third, I originally wanted to hide away and wait for Jinglan to marry, and then give the housekeeping rights to Jinglan. But now when I hear you say that Jinglan has worked so hard to learn to read ledgers, I feel so sad!"

Mrs. Dong patted her chest gently as she spoke, and then hurriedly continued without waiting for Mrs. Yang San's reaction.

"How about... the third lady will marry Jinglan to a servant who can read the account books?"

Mrs. Dong's turn was a bit big. Mrs. Yang San's face showed an expression of astonishment again. Mrs. Yan lowered her head and pursed the corners of her mouth.

Mrs. Yang San was suddenly a little annoyed. She now suspected that Mr. Dong was pretending to be confused. Mrs. Yang San raised her head and looked around the jewelry shop.

At this moment, they had wandered to the second floor of Zhenbao Building, and there were still several familiar officials and family members around them, all of whom were regular guests at various banquets.

Mrs. Yang San felt that this was not the place to get angry, but it was an opportunity to avoid trouble for her daughter in advance. Mrs. Yang San took a deep breath and raised her voice slightly.

"Mrs. Xiao, my Jinglan is young, and this housekeeper is a big deal. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to leave it to Jinglan!"

Mrs. Dong is not stupid. Mrs. Yang San's looking around just now was seen by Mrs. Dong, and Mrs. Dong is no longer a woman who doesn't understand anything.

Mrs. Dong also raised her voice by two points and answered Mrs. Yang San openly.

"I, the Xiao family's third matchmaker, married Jing Lan with six marriages. She is the daughter-in-law of my Xiao family and the head mother of my Xiao family! Why can't she take care of the house? The Xiao family's wealth is not very rich, but she can give Jing Lan a hand training." It’s enough!”

"Third Madam, don't worry! I made the mistake because I was lazy and wanted Jinglan to be the housekeeper, and I allowed it."

Ming Jia had reminded her of this matter, and Mrs. Dong would naturally know what Madam Yang San was concerned about after just a moment's thought, so she would calm down Madam Yang's concerns in a generous manner.

Some words need to be raised in volume, and some words need to be lowered. Not only did Dong lower his volume, he also moved closer to the third lady.

"If you feel sorry for Jinglan's hard work, then send a capable servant to Jinglan! Or, wait for Jinglan to marry and let Mingjun teach Jinglan how to read the account books."

"It's a good idea to let the two of them get closer. If that doesn't work, just let Mingjun read the account books for Jinglan. Anyway, Mingjun can read the account books quickly and accurately."

Mrs. Yang San turned her head to look at Mr. Dong, and then secretly looked at the people around her with her peripheral vision. She seemed to have misunderstood Ms. Dong!

Mrs. Yan couldn't stand it any longer, so she took a step forward and saluted the two ladies.

"The two ladies must be a little tired after browsing the shops for a long time! The young master has booked a private room in Zhenbao Building. How about the two ladies sitting down and choosing slowly?"

There are private rooms in Zhenbao Building, which are usually reserved for some big customers. Waiters will carry jewelry on trays and bring them into the private rooms for selection.

"There are also private rooms! Third lady, let's go have a cup of tea?"

After chatting for a long time, Mrs. Dong was really thirsty, so she turned her head and invited the third lady to drink tea with her.

"it is good!"

The Marquis of Dingyuan is also eligible to book a private room in the Zhenbao Building, but only Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Shizi can book it. Mrs. Yang San also gets a private room with her sister-in-law.

Mrs. Yan led people all the way into the private room on the third floor. The waiter quickly brought hot tea and some refreshments. There were four different kinds of fresh fruits on the table.

Mrs. Yang San calmly looked around the private room, her eyes finally resting on the tea cup in front of her. She didn't show any signs of it on her face, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

Dong acted very calmly, as if everything was normal and a beautiful misunderstanding.

First, when Dong came to the capital for the first time, he simply thought that Zhenbao Tower would treat guests like this; secondly... after staying in Dianzhou for a long time, it was unusual to see fresh fruits even in spring.

This time the two of them could finally sit down and choose jewelry with peace of mind!

Mrs. Yan has a high vision. Since she is choosing jewelry for the eldest son to get married, it must not be vulgar.

Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Yang San were stunned to look at several pallets of fine jewelry. The more Mrs. Yang looked at them, the more frightened she became. The third floor of this treasure building was indeed not accessible to ordinary people.

But Dong only had one thought at the moment: If only Mingjia would wear jewelry!

However, Mrs. Dong soon became happy again. Her daughter didn't like to dress up, but she would soon have a daughter-in-law!

"Third Madam, what kind of jewelry does Jinglan like?"

Dong held an exquisite hairpin in her hand and was already thinking about whether Jinglan would like it.

Mrs. Yang San: "..."

[Is the master's behavior so outrageous now? First, he said that the Xiao family had three disciples, and they were not rich, and could even be considered poor! This doesn’t look like it! 】

"Jinglan has a lot of jewelry. We just bought a new batch last time. Mrs. Xiao, please don't spend any money!"

Mrs. Yang San has already made a plan in her mind. She will ask her eldest brother to help her check the Xiao family when she returns soon. If the source of the money is unknown, the marriage will need to be considered.

In the end, Mrs. Yang San and Mrs. Dong didn't buy any jewelry. After Mrs. Yan sent Mrs. Dong to the carriage, she went back to the store, ordered two blessings, and sent them to Xiao's house.

On the carriage back, the more Ms. Dong thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. They had obviously had a good conversation before, but when they parted at the end, Mrs. Yang San's attitude was obviously alienated.

"Grandma Yan, did I make any mistakes today?"

Mrs. Dong had not asked this question for a long time. When she first started attending the flower banquet, Ms. Dong would ask it several times in a row. Granny Yan did not expect that she would hear this question again.

Mrs. Yan had some guesses in her mind, but she wasn't sure, so she didn't dare to speak directly.

"Mrs. Yang San really loves her daughter. She is not willing to trade her daughter's marriage for her future. She must be reluctant to let go of Miss Yang!"

Mingjun went home and asked Mrs. Shui about the size of Dong's clothes. Naturally, she couldn't hide this from Dong. Mrs. Dong hadn't met Yang Jinglan yet, but she was really satisfied with Yang Jinglan.

"No! Go home quickly, I have to talk to Mingjun and Mingjia!"

Mr. Dong hurried home, but was told by the housekeeper that the two young masters took a post and went out together.

Ms. Dong was a little anxious. She just vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what the problem was.

Finally, I thought of Lady Water!

"Xiao Tao, go to Mingxi Courtyard and call Granny Shui!"

Soon Mrs. Shui came back and was directly pulled by Mrs. Dong to analyze today's events.

Mrs. Dong had long said that Mrs. Shui and Mrs. Yan did not need to bow as long as they were in their own home.

When Mrs. Shui heard Madam tell her everything about today, her first reaction was to look at Mrs. Yan who was standing aside. Mrs. Shui also knew about the Zhenbao Tower in the capital.

Seeing Mrs. Yan smiling and nodding, Mrs. Shui looked away.

"Madam, I think you scared the third lady?"

When it comes to this, Mrs. Shui has such a say!

When the Xiao family was still in Qu County and their financial resources were still very thin, Master Mingjia felt that the windows in the greenhouse were not light-transmitting enough, so he thought of replacing the windows with colored glaze.

Madam just thought that the whole family could pay for a piece of colored glaze, so she immediately expressed her support for Master Mingjia's idea of ​​replacing the colored glaze.

Today, although Mrs. Shui is not present, she can still imagine Madam's indifferent appearance.

Mrs. Yang San was afraid that she had misunderstood that the Xiao family's money had come from a wrong source, and she would probably have someone investigate the Xiao family when she returned.

Although... with the Xiao family's current wealth, there is really no pressure to choose a few sets of noodles at Zhenbaolou.
