After sending Zhang Youshi away, You Xiaoxiao finally had another matter in her mind, but she still had a lot of thoughts about the rest.After returning to Xinlan Courtyard, Yindie saw that she was exhausted, so she quickly helped her to sit down, squatted on the ground with a beauty paddle and beat her legs, and persuaded her, "Grandma rest for a while, so you can eat later." You Xiaoxiao shook Shaking his head, he asked: "You're not here, I can't ask in detail, Third Sister You came yesterday, she said that she had seen the old man in the mansion, and she kept saying that she wanted to talk to the old man, when did this happen? When Yindie asked, disdain appeared on her face, and she said: "It's not the grandma who let it go! So the three girls..." You Xiaoxiao sneered: "Where did the three girls come from!"

Seeing her change of tone, Yindie hurriedly said: "That's right, Third Sister You and my mother often come to the mansion for a stroll, and once it was the Eldest Master's birthday, she even got married with the Eldest Wife of the West Mansion..." You After hearing this, Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing and said: "Sure enough, they have similar temperaments." Yindie also laughed and said: "What the eldest grandma said is that the wife in-law has a sweet mouth, and the eldest wife over there likes to eat this set." He said vividly: "Last year, grandma felt unwell for a while and was always dizzy. Mrs. You took Third Sister You to the mansion every three days, but Second Sister You didn't come here often. You She said, when they came, they just had a good rest in our yard. The third sister You didn’t see her except when she was eating. The servants and maids in the mansion saw her several times, and it turned out that she was wandering in the back garden. The servant girl didn't know it at first, but it was the lady in the kitchen who was delivering food to the main room and saw it. She said that the third sister You was wandering around the rockery lake every day, just to wait for the uncle to go. Later, she met her, and she, a little girl, didn't even know about it. He avoided it and insisted on pestering the old man to talk, but the old lady told her, but the old man had no choice but to give him a piece of gold to send him away."

"The slaves have long said to ignore them, and the grandma didn't listen to them before..." Seeing You Xiaoxiao listening intently, Yindie couldn't help complaining: "I also said it last year, but the grandma ignored me and scolded me instead. "You Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "But we wronged our girl Yindie, I must know it in the future..." Then she slandered in her heart, how could the original Youshi dare to offend them, she was counting on the girls to be her favorite, I wish we could live together in the mansion, if it wasn't for my bad reputation, I would have covered myself with a big quilt to live.Yindie said again: "The maidservant can't afford it, it's just because of grandma's grievance." You Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile: "Yes, I understand it very well, don't worry, tell the concierge that they can no longer enter the mansion."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and rested, when a woman outside came back and said: "Grandma, someone came from Mr. Qin's house, and he said he was seriously ill. Please ask for some money to go back and find a doctor to take some medicine. Grandpa agrees, let's go back and forth." Grandma." You Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Who is here?" The woman replied, "It's the old man of their family, who is kneeling outside and crying." You Xiaoxiao listened Then he said: "You go and ask him how Mr. Qin is sick, ask carefully, and then come back to me." After hearing this, the mother-in-law went out to ask questions again, secretly hating herself for being a hard job Who doesn't know that the eldest grandma and young mistress Rong are at odds with each other, and now it's even more neglected, so it's strange that the eldest grandma can take care of the Qin family's affairs.

Without the effort of a cup of tea, the mother-in-law came back immediately and said: "I asked, and said that the master of the Qin family beat him, but he was not treated. He had tetanus, and his heart was on fire again, and he became seriously ill after two attacks." It's gone." You Xiaoxiao said: "Did anyone beat him for no reason?" The old lady hesitated and said, "...I dare not tell my grandma about the dirty things here..." You Xiaoxiao knew in her heart that she was smart enough to enter the city When the secret meeting with him happened, he sneered and said, "Forget it, you go to the accountant to pay him two taels of silver, and then go and talk to your uncle. Needless to say, just give the silver and send it away." Go, You Xiaoxiao stopped again: "Their brother is on good terms with Baoyu in the West Mansion. If the two taels of silver are not enough, let him make trouble in the West Mansion, and the Qin family will not be allowed to come again." Although the scandal must not be exposed, making such a fuss can be regarded as an eye salve for Jia Zheng.

There was nothing to say for a day, and the next day was the death anniversary of Jia Rong's biological mother, Shen Shi.Jia Zhen always only laughs at the newcomers, and never pays attention to the cries of the old ones. Over the years, she has completely forgotten about her first wife.Woke up early and had dinner with You Xiaoxiao, then went out to find a group of friends to go hunting in the West Mountain, eat wine and have fun.At the current stage, You Xiaoxiao thinks it's fine for him to go out and play in peace, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble.

Before breakfast was over, Jin Sanxi's family came to the door and waited, ready to report to You Xiaoxiao the result of checking the account room.Seeing that she was really impatient, Yindie couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister-in-law go home for dinner first, how can she be so busy for a while."

Jin Sanxi's family accompanied him with a smiling face, but he remained motionless.In the past few days, she has shown her prestige greatly and tasted the sweetness of power.Those women who didn't look at her seriously lined up day and night to deliver things to Jin's house, just hoping that she would show her high hands in the future and not send the whole family to the toilet shop.In the past few days of clearing the accounts, the people in the accounting room are even more respectful when they see her, knowing that she is the future immediate boss, they are even more filial three times a day.The members of Jin Sanxi's family deeply know that their beauty is given by the grandma, so they are absolutely meticulous in doing things for the grandma.

You Xiaoxiao saw that Guoer had put away the bowls, chopsticks and leftovers, and saw that there was still a whole plate of freshly fried purple potato and sesame rolls untouched, so she ordered her to take it down and eat it.After sipping half a cup of tea carefully, he regained his senses, and then ordered Yindie to bring Jin Sanxi's family in.

As usual, Jin Sanxi's family flattered for a while, and then they were about to start talking about business. You Xiaoxiao raised her hand and said, "You don't need to go into details, Huanyan will be able to sort out the accounts in a few days, and I will naturally not leave one behind." Take a closer look." Jin Sanxi's family broke out in a sweat after hearing this, and thought to himself that it was fortunate that he hadn't acted recklessly and did something to deceive the master. Never dare to underestimate again.

"Just talk, how about the deficit? How about the comprador? Who should leave? Who should stay?" Seeing her nervous, You Xiaoxiao laughed again: "You haven't handled the accountant for a long time, and some omissions are inevitable. It’s just that one must not have two, you remember.”

Jin Sanxi's family said: "There is no deficit every year, but there is no surplus either. The silver recorded by the comprador is more expensive than outside..."

You Xiaoxiao interrupted her and asked: "Is it more expensive? How much more expensive?" In the original book, the Liu family in the kitchen can still open their mouths and say that ten dollars can't buy an egg, and the rouge and gouache you get every month is dirty. It can't be used, the comprador has skimped to such an extent, and there are no punishment measures, it's really a big deal.Ningguo Mansion has about a dozen Zhuangzi outside. It is mentioned in the book that Wu Jinxiao, as the owner of the villa, should have a normal income of 1 taels of silver. He can eat so much that the rivers dry up and the seas dry up. Could it be that they all raised this group of dog slaves? It's a joke to say it.

Jin Sanxi's family hurriedly knelt down and said: "Grandma... I dare not lie to you... some are acceptable, some are really outrageous, and Miss Huanyan has recorded it in the account book, you will know it at a glance."

You Xiaoxiao said: "Look at how many people can be left in the counting room?"

Jin Sanxi's family replied: "Now there are five people in the counting room, two of them are confidantes who came to Sheng's family, and this old slave feels that they cannot be kept."

You Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "You can listen clearly, let's listen to you first, let Huanyan go, and make up for a gap. I don't care about the small bills, and I have to come to me to check the bills at the beginning of every month. "

Jin Sanxi's family said again: "The one who came to promote the family..."

You Xiaoxiao knew her worry, and said with a smile: "You will still be your second housekeeper, but you will be in charge of everything about the accountant, do you understand what I mean?"

Jin Sanxi's family hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, grandma, old slave."

You Xiaoxiao said again: "Don't move the big kitchen, I have my own arrangements."

After dismissing Jin Sanxi's family, Yindie came in with a piece of clothing and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Jin is very respectable in the mansion now, we little girls dare not talk to her casually." You Xiaoxiao laughed : "But it's a lie, other girls are fine, she has to be honest when she sees you - what is she holding in her hand?" Yindie hurriedly unfolded it, and said with a smile: "It's the fine white cotton that Grandma asked for." The clothes were made by the slaves overnight, grandma came to try them on."

You Xiaoxiao quickly changed into it, she was fat and thin. Seeing that she had embroidered a few butterflies with silver thread on her sleeves, she praised her.It happened that Guo'er came to report that the wine table was ready, You Xiaoxiao looked at it, and ordered some boys to carry it directly to Jia Rong's yard. After thinking about it, she ordered a basket of flowers and fruits.

Jia Rong got up early this morning and was dispirited. She changed into a plain shirt and didn't eat breakfast.After so many years, he didn't expect his father to remember his miserable mother.Every year at this time, it is all about sending a servant to the big kitchen to ask for some light food, and then burn a few sticks of incense, and just meditate silently.This year is still the same, the big kitchen sent some tofu, white song, fungus and shiitake mushrooms and other food, and asked the servant to bring back some lotus root.

Ready, Jia Rong kicked everyone out, ordered the servants to watch at the door, took out the bronze incense burner hidden deep in the cabinet, and put it on the desk next to the window. Wiping her tears, she was about to kneel down and kowtow, when there was a light knock on the door, the servant called out from the window: "Master, Grandma asked the small kitchen to deliver the wine table for the sacrifice, shall we carry it in?" Jia Rong was a little dazed when she heard this, not knowing what was going on.The boy didn't hear his objection, so he opened the door and welcomed the wine table in.

The leader was Guo'er, she saluted Jia Rong, and then said politely: "Young master, this is the wine table ordered by grandma to make for grandma first, and it is reserved for your private sacrifice, later, grandma Let you go to Xinlan Courtyard."

Jia Rong looked back, and saw that the black lacquered wooden table was trimmed with white satin, and there were six dishes and six bowls neatly arranged on it, red dates, chestnuts, fungus, peanuts, shiitake mushrooms, gold silk cakes, butter crisps, crucian carp, pork ribs, Roast goose, steamed chicken, etc. are all available. A bunch of freshly picked lilies and white plums are placed in the bamboo basket.

"Sister, please go back and thank mother for your troubles. I will go to the main courtyard to greet mother later." Jia Rong pursed her lips and sent Guo'er out in person.

You Xiaoxiao heard Jia Rong accept it, and hurriedly ordered Yindie to reset the house, hid all the red and bright objects first, smoked sandalwood, and placed some clean fruits, waiting for him to come .
