Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

When Yingchun brought Xiuju and the two little girls over, Jia Lian had already gone to the front yard.Sister Feng pointed to the kitchen account book in the morning and said: "Sister, the account book you read is for one month, and you can still remember the inconsistencies. What if it is for three months, six months, or one year?"

Yingchun replied, "I guess I'll forget about the previous one."

Sister Feng said: "Let's change the method of keeping accounts and write down such a detailed ledger." Sister Feng explained to Yingchun the simple method of making detailed ledgers. Time, price, it’s just that you have to turn page after page to record, it’s not as easy as running a journal, and it’s not easy to check everything.”

Sister Feng said: "This bookkeeping is for future inspection."

Then tell Yingchun to copy this month's account book according to the new method, and then go to sleep again.

When Jia Lian came back to have dinner, he saw Yingchun lying in front of the kang table, on which there were books on the left and the right.Seeing Jia Lian coming back, Yingchun was about to get up. Jia Lian stopped her and followed Ping'er to the west room to change clothes.

When Jia Lian came back, Yingchun had already packed up the account book.Jia Lian said: "Second sister, don't worry, just read the books one by one, you don't have to read so many at once."

Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled: "There is only one account. The second sister-in-law taught me a different way to record the details, so that I can see how much I bought, how much I used, how much money was spent on the same thing in a month, and who I bought it, where I bought it from, and who took it for use.”

Jia Lian was surprised when he heard it, so he picked up a book and read it again and again, feeling very curious in his heart. If he always remembers like this in the future, there will be no moths like Lai Da.

As usual, when the food was set out, Sister Feng woke up.Jia Lian asked Sister Feng how to teach Yingchun how to make accounts. Sister Feng smiled: "I was also forced by those daughter-in-laws in charge. The price of the same thing three days ago was [-]% more. After looking at the things, I can't remember." Yes. I have been thinking about how to change the notation. The same things are recorded together from day to day. When the time comes, the daily flow is compared, and I will know it naturally. The accounts are settled once a month, and the general account is calculated once a year. There will be no mistakes. .”

Jia Lian pretended to cup his hands: "It's terrible, Second Mistress, if you study, the number one scholar will be yours."

The maids in the room just made fun of it, and paid their respects to Wang Zhuangyuan!Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled.

Sister Feng said: "Let's not talk about reading, the second master and the second sister have time to teach me how to read."

Jia Lian smiled, "First you have to worship me as a teacher, and then you can teach me after you have given the gift of apprenticeship."

Sister Feng patted her belly and said, "Tell him how much you want."

There was constant laughter in the room.

After dinner, Jia Lian sent two women to light the lamps, sent Yingchun's master and servants back, and took the elder sister to play for a while.It's time for the eldest sister to go to bed, but the eldest sister still doesn't want to go to bed, so she managed to coax her to go back with the nanny.

The husband and wife washed and went to the kang, and Sister Feng laughed at herself, "I have been sleeping every day, except eating and sleeping, but I can't sleep enough."

Jia Lian comforted Sister Feng: "It is said that when you are pregnant, what you think about is what you lack. You must have worked too hard before, and now you are so sleepy." He hugged Sister Feng for a while, and his heart was full of pity. Without thinking, he knew that he had been away for half a year. Sister Feng supported the hard work of the housekeeper and director alone.When he was at home, he could still control the stewards outside, even if he was playing tricks, being lazy and committing adultery, he would watch them.In the past half a year, he still doesn't know how many troubles those in charge and the housekeeper's daughter-in-law have added to his Feng'er.

Caressing Sister Feng's thin back, "You sleep like this, and you don't see any fatter. It's better to eat more."

Sister Feng said: "Okay. Eat more, and my son will be strong."

The couple have a warm atmosphere.

Sister Feng said: "The matter of entering the family has to be worked hard by the second master. Yingchun has to add two mothers and four maids. The mothers want to be kind and honest, have rules in their hearts, and can help Yingchun make decisions. If you want to know medicine, or know how to cook, or be a female celebrity, you must have the same outstanding ability, and you will accompany Yingchun to leave the cabinet in the future. First, the elder sister needs a nanny with a gentle personality. It is best to be able to read and understand etiquette. Girl, she has a lively personality and is articulate, so she can play with the eldest sister."

Jia Lian said: "Don't worry, I have entrusted someone here, and a group of people will be released from the palace before the year. For the girl, do you want to choose from the family's children?"

"It's best to have children in the family. Parents are the priority in this house. I'm afraid that the girl who came in is too young and can't hold herself. She is asked to do something by her parents. Second master, you know, since you know you have This one, I don't feel good about it." Sister Feng stroked her slightly protruding belly, and said slowly.

Lian Er couldn't take it anymore, and hugged Sister Feng, "It's hard for you two."

"This child has been bad since conception. I'm just afraid. I'm terribly afraid. I'm afraid that someone will do something in the dark. It will come out in the open. I'm getting heavier every day. Whoever said it was unintentional bumped and frightened me?" , may kill this child. I am also afraid of my wife, God knows that Wang Shanbao's family and Mrs. Fei never bothered me in that mansion, but they would rush into my yard and scold me."

"There are still a few months before the birth. I worry about it day by day, thinking about now and later, how can I let him grow up safely. How can I clear up the wrong-minded people in the house, second master, uncle At that time, he was already six years old, not a child anymore."

"Feng'er, don't worry, if I, Lian Er, are alive, I will protect your mother and child well."

"Then it all depends on the second master. It's hard work on the second master."

"Hehe, hehe, Feng'er, I am the head of the house, so I should do it."

"Today, I promised Lin Zhixiao to put his daughter next to the eldest sister. Do you see if it is suitable? If it is not suitable, I will be an extra person on the side of the eldest sister. If it is necessary to add a playmate to the eldest sister, I will add it as usual."

"Bring it in tomorrow and have a look."

"The stewards of the outer courtyard are sure?"

"Not yet. The master is also worried. He said that he can choose another one, but he can't choose it all at once. This matter must be decided before the master and I are on errands."

Thinking about everything waiting to be done in the house, the two of them suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

"Second Master, how about choosing someone from the side branch?"

"Branch? It's always an ancestor. I'm afraid it won't be good to be a servant."

"The side branch has lived for several lifetimes, and those who are about to pass the fifth service or have passed the fifth service. Many of them are not as good as the servants in the mansion. At the beginning, those who were a little motivated and didn't want to wait for the relief of the clan, it was not often. Come here and find something to do to fill the household."

"What Feng'er said is true."

"They're all of the same family, and they know the background better than outsiders. Like Jia Yun, that kid is good. He can wink, and he can do a good job. The second master and the master consider it, try it out for a few months, and change it if it doesn't suit you. As for As for the matter of greed, it depends on the rules and regulations in the mansion. After these few months, I can still do it."

"Feng'er came up with a good idea. Ask Jia Yun to try him out tomorrow."

"The master left a message for Lin Zhixiao and Wu Xindeng, saying that he can come back if he wants to come back in the future."

"Second Master, do you want to?"

"I don't want to. That's what the master is used to."

"I'm the same as the second master."

"It can be seen that we have a good understanding."

"That's right. Otherwise, why would I marry the second master?"

The two were talking, and the atmosphere became more and more heated.

"There are two boys in Wu Xindeng's family, one is 8 years old and the other is 10 years old. I decide to keep you in your yard as messenger boys."

"Second Master, you're so kind. I'm missing a boy here to pass on the message. Fortunately, Second Master is thinking about what I'm missing here. It saves me a lot of trouble."

"Your second master doesn't miss who you miss. Feng'er is all I think about every day."

"Second Master, many people are going to enter this family one after another. Although there are few people now, shouldn't this rule be established first?"

"It should be set up first. Feng'er taught the second sister a new way to keep accounts today. I will tell the master tomorrow that all purchases in the tents, storerooms, kitchens, etc. in this mansion will be kept in this way. January After taking an inventory, all the ones that have been handled will be pledged to the master."

Sister Feng gave Lian Er a compliment in her heart.You're smart, Lian Er, as long as you start, this guy can keep up, which really saves worry and effort.

"Brother Cong, what should we do? Send him to the Jia family to study? There hasn't been a scholar in the family school for more than ten years. I really don't know if the sixth old master Jia Dairu is paying attention. Is it because he is old and has no energy to manage?"

"Send it to the ethnology first. When I enter the household department as an errand, I will see if my colleagues can help recommend a wife. This will be a good husband in our family in the future."

"Second Master is more thoughtful. It's good to invite here first, the eldest sister can study with Brother Cong since she was a child."

"Do you want the eldest sister to take the No. [-] Scholar exam?"

"Where there is, I have my master to support me. Wherever I go, I will use my eldest sister to work hard on my own."

Jia Lian is proud. "It's good to learn to read without taking the number one scholar."

"It's what the second master said. The second master knows me and hasn't read many books since he was a child. Seeing sister Xue's knowledge of the past and the present, I'm really envious."

"Then you and your eldest sister should learn how to read together."

"Then the second master hastened to invite a female gentleman back. While the elder sister is young, I will learn first, otherwise I will be compared to my daughter in the future, what will happen."

"Ahaha, yes. The first thing to do is to find a female husband for the eldest sister."

"Oh, I have to thank the second master first for the eldest sister."

The husband and wife talked and laughed, discussed some family affairs, and fell asleep in each other's arms.
