suspected wife

Another two days passed.This morning, Yue Zhongyao still got up early.

I walked around the courtyard wall of Qiao Mingjin's house several times, and waited until Yunjin and He Shi opened the door before going up to meet her.

He peeked in through the crack of the door, then lowered his head and dragged Yun Jin to the side, muttering.

Yun Jin was a little surprised after hearing this.

Because Yue Zhongyao was asking him for leave, saying that he was going to the city for two days.

Ordinarily, Yue Zhongyao was not a worker in the workshop, so in his eyes, he still seemed a bit stubborn and refused to leave.No one has arranged for him to do work all the time. He finds work for himself, and if there is no work, he will help others everywhere.

During this period of time, as soon as the door of the workshop was opened early in the morning, he would go in, more active than anyone else.Every day after work, I was always the last one to leave.

Since he came back from his official business, he has not seen any serious work in the village.In the first few days, his mother, Mrs. Wu, scolded outside the workshop for several days, but Yue Zhongyao still did his own thing and came to the workshop to report on time every day.

Their father-in-law's family has a total of less than ten mu of land. Now that the rice is heading to the field, there is no need for the whole family to go down to the field. Usually, there is no loss in a field without him.

And since he's been back for so long, he didn't see him go to his own field and run to the workshop every day. It seems that he is going to take root in Xiahe Village.

Seeing his seriousness, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he is guarding the posture of his wife and daughter.

What did he say just now, going to the city?Still going for two days?

Yun Jin was suspicious and looked him up and down several times, but she didn't ask what he was going to do in the city.

He, Yue Zhongyao, was originally just a person who wasn't even counted as a non-staff.He came to say hello to him seriously, what else would he do?

Yun Jin nodded to him, opened her mouth, and found that there was nothing to tell her.He watched him turn and leave.

"What is this for?"

When Yue Zhongyao pulled Yun Jin aside to talk, He did not leave first.But just waiting for his man from afar.It will be seen that as soon as Yue Zhongyao left, he came up and walked to the workshop with her husband.

"I don't know. I just said I'm going to the city for two days."

"What are you doing uptown?"

"I don't know that."

"You said he really wants to keep working in the workshop? Did Jinniang say how much he would be paid?"

"I didn't say it."

……

The two went to the workshop while talking.

And Yue Zhongyao went home, packed a simple burden on his body, and went out...

After Qiao Mingjin got up in the morning, he made breakfast for the two children, washed the clothes, cleaned the courtyard, and went straight into the study.

When Zhou Yanqing came back.He brought her tents from several shops.In addition to reconciliation and auditing, it is still necessary to make internal accounts.

In recent years, the government collects various taxes from merchants, and often allocates various expenses to merchants under clever pretexts.

Fortunately, in the past two years, the ruling and opposition parties have been clear. First, there are no battles to fight, and second, the year is good. There is no drought or flood.The merchants finally breathed a sigh of relief when they needed to repair canals and dig ditches.

However, the peace year also has the sorrow of the peace year.

For example, the Empress Qianqiu, the Empress Dowager's birthday, the prince's marriage to the princess and so on.As a businessman, you always have to pay some gift money.It's okay to meet a clean magistrate, but if the magistrate collects money ruthlessly, the merchant will be stripped of his skin.He also took several knives of meat bloody.

Fortunately, the Zhou family still has the one in Beijing to take care of them.And the first and second in command of Qingchuan County also gave up three points to the Zhou family, a local snake, otherwise it would have made a lot of money.Turned in a lot.Maybe what I earn in a year is not enough to make a confession.

Looking at the account books of the Zhou family, it can be seen that a lot of money was spent on management in this year.

As far as Qingchuan City alone is concerned, a large sum of money has to be paid to the yamen every year, and not only the county magistrate, but also the county magistrate, county lieutenant, master book, clerk, pawn and the people below, Everything is in place.

This costs a lot every year.

This Qingchuan City is still the territory of the Zhou family.Shops in other places are afraid that they will handle more money.

It's no wonder that merchants always have internal accounts and external accounts, so there is no external account to deal with those who exploit outside.I'm afraid that after a year of hard work, it's just making wedding dresses for others.

Although Zhou Yanqing confessed that all the shops have to make an internal account, it seems that the workload is quite a lot.But fortunately, Qiao Mingjin is a good hand at internal accounts.

In any case, they all came out of professional classes. At any rate, they have been mixed for so many years and practiced for so many years. Not to mention the integration of Chinese and Western, they also understand the ancient and modern.Keeping the internal account she made, the people who exploited and inspected the account could not help but shed tears of sympathy.

Throughout the year, not only did the shop not make much money, but it also posted a lot of money.How can this man who eats a lot of money have the nerve to use a ruthless knife?

Zhou Yanqing was particularly satisfied with Qiao Mingjin's ledgers, and the fellow sent over more shop ledgers.And in order to prevent accidents, I turned out all the old accounts, so that she had time to make all the inner accounts.

So Qiao Mingjin buried her head in a pile of ledgers every day, and the beads of the abacus were crackling by her.Ming Qi and Wan'er listened to it and said that it sounds better than playing the piano.

Early this morning, Qiao Mingjin was still beating her, while the two children were playing with theirs.

But after Wan'er arrived at the workshop, she didn't see Yue Zhongyao.

I looked inside and outside the workshop and saw no one.Later, when Yun Jin said that Yue Zhongyao had been away for the past two days, the little boy's face dropped.

The little thing has become even more afraid of Mrs. Wu since he saw Mrs. Wu smashing the house to pieces that day.It seems that she vaguely understands that her grandma doesn't want her father to get close to her and mother.

The little thing moved away from her father.

It’s just that other children have fathers, and they play together in front of the workshop every day. When they get off work, when they see the workers coming out of the workshop, the other children will call for father repeatedly, and then run towards them.And then watching their father pick them up, or holding their hands to go home together, the little thing feels envious in his heart.

Why can't her father go home with her and mother?

Since Yue Zhongyao came to the workshop every day, Wan'er only felt that her heart was going to fly.

But she was afraid that her grandma would see their family getting close.Let's smash their home again.He just looked at her father from a distance, smiled at her father occasionally, and felt happy when he saw her father calling her.

It's just that her father is gone today.I didn't even say a word to Wan'er...

The little thing is a little listless, and she is not interested in other children asking her to play together.After squatting by the side and watching a group of children playing around for a long time, he returned home wearily.

"Wan'er? What's the matter? Are you unhappy? Why don't you play with other children?"

Qiao Mingjin glanced at her daughter who was leaning on the door frame, and then sorted her head into the account book.

"Hot. Don't want to play."

"Then stay at home. See what my aunt is doing, ask my aunt to go to the warehouse to get some snacks. Then go write big characters with my aunt."

It took a long time to hear the little thing reply: "Okay."

Qiao Mingjin felt that her daughter should be a little weak.I was just about to ask, did I catch the heat?

He raised his eyes to look at the door, only to find that his daughter had turned around and left.

After thinking about it, he didn't bother with her, and buried his head in it again.

Let's talk about Zhou Yanqing's side.

I had planned to go out early, but the day was getting hotter and hotter.It is not an easy job not to go out early, and bake on the road at the hottest time.

Unexpectedly, she had just stepped out of the courtyard when she was stopped by Mama Lin sent by the old lady in the main room.

"Why did you hear that Fengyuan is here?"

Zhou Yanqing was surprised.What happened to work hard for Mrs. Lin?

This mother Lin married the old lady as a dowry, and she is the first-class confidant of the old lady.Not to mention the servants in the mansion, even the masters and wives in the mansion respect her three points.Who doesn't respectfully call out "Mom" when they meet?

Zhou Yanqing looked up at the sky.At this time, the sky is showing fish belly white.So early.

"Why can't the old slave come to see our sixth master?"

Mother Lin was also filled with emotion when she saw the Sixth Young Master whom she brought up single-handedly.

The old lady raised this old man in the palm of her hand since she was a child.I was really afraid of melting in my mouth.Holding it in my hand is afraid of falling.Sure enough, both parents love Yaoer.

"Look at what mom said, how dare you come to see me? I should be the one to see you."

Since this mother Lin accompanied the old lady to marry, she has never been married in her life.After the age of 20, I combed myself.He has been accompanying the old lady in the main courtyard and helping the old lady look after the young masters and ladies in Gu's mansion.In the future, he will also have a share in providing for Mother Lin's retirement.

"Master Liu is very busy these days. The old lady said that she hasn't seen anyone from Master Liu for a long time. She will go out before dawn. She won't come back until the lights are on. The old lady said she will wait for Master Liu to accompany her. It's hard work for her to eat a meal."

Zhou Yanqing was quite embarrassed by what Mama Lin said.

Said embarrassingly: "I have been really busy during this time, and I have neglected my mother. I also hope that Mama Lin will help me to say a few good words in front of my mother, so as to forgive the old lady. I will go with Mama Lin to say hello to my mother. I don’t know Has the old lady eaten breakfast?"

After listening to Zhou Yanqing's words, Mother Lin grinned.

He said happily: "Not yet. This is why the old slave came to invite Liu Ye. The old lady ordered the small kitchen in the main courtyard to make Liu Ye's favorite lotus seed soup and spring rolls last night."

"Really? Then I'll have to have a good meal with my mother."

Zhou Yanqing showed some joy, and followed Mama Lin to the main courtyard.

"Mother, where are you? My son misses you to death."

Before reaching the main room, Zhou Yanqing croaked loudly.

The old lady heard it in the room, and the corners of her mouth raised.You can clearly see a few more wrinkles on the face.

"Bad boy, why do you miss me? If you don't send someone to invite you, you won't come here. Fortunately, it was Mama Lin who was sent. If the little girl goes, I'm afraid she won't be able to call our Sixth Master of the Zhou Mansion. .Next time, I’m afraid I’ll have to bring a sedan chair to invite him.”

The old lady sat on the official hat chair and blamed Zhou Yanqing. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)

ps: Let me also make a complaint: Dear friends, can I beg you to pat lightly?In principle, except for advertisement posts in the book review area, I generally don’t delete comment posts, whether it’s good or bad, after all, freedom of speech.Those who like Yue San will abandon the article if they say that the ending is not right, and those who like Saturday will also abandon the article if they say that the ending is not.Hungry God, let me die.Is it hard to code a chapter?Now the plot is unfolding, and I don't intend to spoil it, can you keep a low profile if you abandon the article?You have to go to the book review area with great fanfare and say that you want to abandon the article... I have always been tolerant of reading pirated copies, after all, it is not easy for anyone to earn two dollars.Just don't influence others, okay?Some book friends said that after reading the book reviews, they would not read the text directly, and my heart was broken...
