What kind of bad thoughts can my husband have?

Chapter 163 My Rules
After lunch, Lin Zhao was exhausted, so he slept on the second floor. Mang Zhong went upstairs to have a look. Lin Zhao's thin body was wrapped in the quilt.

Mangzhong sighed, wondering how distressed the young master felt when he came back to see this scene.

Going downstairs, the second floor is ventilated from all sides, and I lit a charcoal basin to keep warm, and the red-hot black charcoal was blowing sparks, and Xiaohan was sitting next to me to bake my hands. Buried the sweet potato, when Madam wakes up, sister remembers to dig it out for Madam Young to eat."

"You know how to do it." Mang Zhong smiled, went over to tidy up at the desk, saw the unopened letter on it, asked and found out that it was just delivered by Ping Lian, and waited for Lin Zhao to wake up and take a look.

"Sister, when did the Eldest Young Master come back? Didn't it mean that Suzhou has already solved the problem? The saint also summoned the Young Master to return to Beijing, and if it drags on, it will be Chinese New Year." Xiaohan muttered.

This is also what Mangzhong is worried about. How can he hurry in the continuous blizzard?

"It's been half a year since our young lady got married, and I only met the young master once. Rumors and rumors are flying everywhere in Qing capital, saying that the young master..." Xiaohan hesitated, "I raised a young one in Huaizhou, and I don't want to come back. "

"You can believe this?" Mang Zhong glanced.

Xiaohan shook his head and said in a low voice: "Young master is so kind to our wife, I don't believe it."

"If you don't believe me, don't talk nonsense. Every day on the spring equinox, you fight with the girl in the house because of these gossips. Be careful not to let her hear you. She slaps you on the face so that you can't eat it." Mang Zhong blamed.

Xiao Han chuckled: "I'm afraid of killing sister Chun Equinox."

Speaking of the invincible player in the spring equinox, Mangzhong also laughed, and said: "Buy two more sweet potatoes in it, the spring equinox also likes to eat."

"Hey."

Xiaohan agreed, and heard footsteps on the stairs, looked up and saw Lin Zhao, hurriedly stood up and ran to support her: "Ma'am, why are you up? But sister Nu and Mangzhong woke you up?"

"The branches of the snow are crunching outside, and I can't sleep."

Lin Zhao took a sip of the hot tea. When she saw the letter on the desk, she was about to open it. Chun Equinox came in from outside holding a broom. She was sweeping the snow on the bridge early in the morning, and now white hair was dripping down her neck. Angrily, he said, "Ma'am, Guan Cao is here."

"Go back and change your clothes to rest, and be careful not to catch a cold." Lin Zhao said.

In response to the vernal equinox, her stocky body stepped aside, revealing Guanshi Cao's slender figure. The glasses on the bridge of her nose were stained with the heat in the room and turned white. She took them off and saluted Lin Zhao. Lin Zhao was indifferent, as if A handful of Qingxue on a high branch stretched out his hand and said, "Guan Cao, sit down."

Guanshi Cao didn't refuse, and sat on the cushion. Lin Zhao ordered tea again, put the letter in the book, and said, "I also read yesterday's accounts, but I didn't expect the New Year's expenses to be so large."

Cao Guanshi smiled knowingly when he heard the words, and said that Lin Zhao really came from Wumen, and he had never seen such a flowing expense, and said: "Young Madam, this is the first time for you to celebrate the New Year in this house, you must not know, the master is sympathetic. Let’s wait, there are a lot of rewards every year during the Chinese New Year, plus food storage, gift giving, and other hundred or so expenses, it will be reduced by 10 taels every year.”

so much?
Xiaohan stared.

Cao Guanshi noticed her strange gaze, and his face was a little smug.

"These expenses and accounts are one after another. It is difficult for Guanshi Cao to manage them in an orderly manner." Lin Zhao said, "I looked at them for a while yesterday, and I really have a headache."

Cao Guanshi is a person who is not easy to be flattered, Lin Zhao said so, and he laughed again: "Young Madam's words are really frustrating to the old slave, but it's all a matter of duty."

"It's just..." Guanshi Cao said, with a sense of calling the shots, "Last year's snow disaster, the palace increased revenue and cut expenditure, and the government everywhere followed suit. It would be too bad for our mansion to act like it used to. Now that things are over, the old slave thought, how about saving some money this year.”

Lin Zhao glanced, Xiaohan was poking charcoal with an iron hook, turned out the redder side and got hotter, so he put his hand on it and asked, "What do you mean?"

Cao Guanshi said: "Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about these foods. In previous years, I bought a mountain of vegetables and meat. After making so many, I couldn't eat much. In the end, countless rotten ones were thrown away. There are also these things. As a reward from people, no one has two ingots of official silver, what a reward this is, the old slave thought, saving from these two places is inevitable."

"Eating can save a little money, but this reward must not be sloppy." Lin Zhao said.

Guanshi Cao frowned slightly, and then heard Lin Zhao say: "Since the father-in-law ordered the reward, why bother to save it from him." After thinking for a while, "If you increase income and reduce expenditure, you don't have to go too far. In a mansion as big as ours, it's not too much. We should show our dignity, after all, our Xue family is the most respectable in front of saints."

Cao Guanshi thought about it and nodded.

"By the way, since we have rewarded them all, let's make new clothes for every servant who has signed a deed in Xue's house, so it will be very festive." Lin Zhao said calmly, "As for the food, I will talk to Kang Ma Discuss."

Hearing what she said, Guan Shi quickly vetoed it, leaned forward and said, "Young madam, do you know how many slaves there are in our northern and southern mansions, there are no less than three hundred, if everyone makes new clothes, how much money will it cost?" Ah, please ask the young lady..."

"No problem. Just do as I tell you."

Lin Zhao's tone suddenly became cold and unquestionable. Cao Guanshi was taken aback, and seeing her, he said: "Even if my aunt wants to pray and swear, then the family will rejoice with her, and you don't have to worry about money. Regarding the affairs of the state, the young master won the reward from the sage, which must be enough. If you have time, you can contact a larger clothing store and ask a tailor to measure it. These more than 300 pieces of clothing must be rushed out. . "

More than 300 pieces of clothes, hurry up and get out...

If it wasn't for Lin Zhao sitting in front of him, Guanshi Cao really thought this man was crazy. There are more than [-] tailor-made clothing shops in Qingjing City, and even if they used all of them, it would take half a month to make [-] pieces of clothes. It has to be that the new year is not over in the family, so I can concentrate on making clothes.

"Oh that's right."

Lin Zhao suddenly smiled, and said, "I'm really confused. If you make [-] pieces of clothes, I'm afraid it will be too late for the New Year, then..." Nodding his chin, his white fingers are like tender shoots, "Then just give The little girls from the two prefectures do it, but the male servants still reward money as usual, what do you think?"

Cao Guanshi didn't know why Lin Zhao suddenly changed his mind, but it saved a lot of trouble.

"It's all because I didn't make a good calculation just now. Don't blame Guan Cao. Father-in-law and mother-in-law asked me to be housekeeper, it seems to be a problem for you." Lin Zhao laughed.

Guanshi Cao shook his head with a smile, and went straight to where.

"That's right, even if my aunt wants to invite Mrs. Miao Qing from the Bodhi Temple to do something, she has to pay another sum of money, so I'm going to trouble you." Lin Zhao said.

Guanshi Cao laughed and said, "No trouble, no trouble."
