Mother Tao came in with a smile, holding a pile of books in her hand.

She bowed her knees to eleven Niang: "madam!" He looked very calm.

Eleven Niang nodded, let servant girl move small Wu son for her.

Mother Tao sat down and the little maid served tea. She handed the account book in her hand to eleven Niang: "this is the account book handed over to me by the great aunt and grandmother. Now that you're here, it's up to you. Please have a look. "

Eleven Niang did not receive account, smile way: "since too madam handed over to you tube, you help manage temporarily!"

Tao's mother was stunned, and then understood the meaning of eleven Niang.

She didn't want to get involved in brother Zhun's business.

Mother Tao was so angry that her face turned red and her whole body trembled. But he didn't dare to tear his face with her. He just said, "four ladies, I'm a servant after all. In charge of the things left by my aunt and grandmother, the name is not correct and the words are not smooth. It's not like you. It's the master. It's better to say one sentence than we can say ten... "

Yuan Niang died more than a year ago, and she married in again. Eleven Niang suspected that Tao's mother could not hold down the people below. Now listen to this tone, more sure.

She simply said with a smile, "but who's gossiping? Or who is not convinced? "

Tao's mother was stunned and looked at Shiniang.

Isn't the big lady saying that she's young and doesn't know anything, so she'll just have to coax her with nice words? How do you seem to know? Or is she being taught? It's not right. In order to prevent those old women who don't know how to advance or retreat, relying on their age and knowledge, they encourage 11 Niang, so they don't arrange a dowry mother Did you look at it, madam?

Her heart is up and down, but see eleven Niang take tea cup, take a sip slowly.

Although the posture is very beautiful and the look is very comfortable, Tao's mother is more anxious when she looks at it.

Eleven Niang is clear is to fight time war with her - look, should be to know what!

But now she can't help it. Eleven Niang can take over the stall left by yuanniang at any time. In any case, the things are in their own hands. If something goes wrong, it's their own business. But I can't wait Wanxiang's smelly girl pressed her step by step. The people below started to coax and drag on. It was a small matter to disturb Mrs. Tai. She told the third lady that she was a little girl. I was afraid that she would take advantage of this to attack the people who had followed her aunt.

Anyway, there is a big lady behind the eleven Niang

The idea just flashed by, and mother Tao had made up her mind.

"Madame, you are so beautiful." She had a few flatteries in her smile. "You just came in. According to reason, I shouldn't have bothered you with these trivia so early. But I was forced by Wanxiang's little hoof that I couldn't help it. I have to come to you. "

That's about it.

Eleven Niang nods in the heart secretly.

She inquired before she married. When yuanniang got married, she was four maids, two mothers, four housewives, two courtyards and two farmlands. The four maids had already married people. One of them, Wanxiang, was the favorite of yuanniang. She married Chen Xu, a little boy of Xu family who had no father or mother. The couple took charge of the kitchen. Chen Xu was in charge of purchasing and Wanxiang was in charge of the business. Among the two mothers, one is mother Tao, who is yuanniang's nurse, and the other died ten years ago. The two courtyards are all three entrances, one in four hutongs and one in Shibei Hutong, all around Liubu. The annual rent can be more than 200 Liang. Both of them are in Daxing County. One has 6000 mu and the other has 2000 mu. The six thousand mu one is managed by Tao Cheng, the son of Tao's mother, while the one of two thousand mu is managed by Gao Nian, another companion.

In this way, Wanxiang and Gaonian are dissatisfied that Tao's mother and son can't make profits for them!

Her expression is light ground: "you say to see, what are these things?"

Tao's mother carefully told the story to Shiniang.

It's the same as eleven Niang guessed. Since the third Madame became the head of the family, Chen Xu was replaced by Chen Xu on the pretext of the last shady fish incident, and then Gao Ran's eldest son, Gao Pan, who worked as an official at the comprador's office, was removed because of insufficient candles during Yuan Niang's funeral. As for others, there are more people who guard the gate, watch the night and manage the garden But they didn't move either. Wanxiang gets involved with these people and quarrels to see Shiniang every day.

Eleven Niang smile: "since want to see me, let them come!"

Mother Tao said with a smile: "according to the truth, they should also come to say hello to you. There are only a few things I have to tell you first, so that you will not suffer from the depression. "

"Mom, please." Eleven Niang says with a smile.

"I think that the Wanxiang and gaopan people are determined to let you help with a job, but you can't agree."

Tao mother's words let eleven Niang slightly surprised, she thought that Tao's mother would try to persuade her to help these people.

"Most of the income from the dowry is in Tao Chengguan's farm. No matter how noisy those people are, they can't make any difference. I've just come here to talk to you again. If you win, others think it's right. But if you lose, you will make a big joke. " "I don't mean you'll lose. I mean, you won't win without the support of marquis and Mrs. Tai nodding.""Mom has a point."

"Therefore, your urgent task is to serve the Marquis and Madame. It's not too late to plan for other things. "

Worthy of being the most effective mother in front of yuanniang, she is very delicate and considerate!

Eleven Niang's eyes flashed a trace of appreciation: "according to the mother said to do!"

She found that the whole mother Tao relaxed: "then I'll let them kowtow to you!"

Eleven Niang should.

Tao's mother left an account book: "this is the people from the aunt's side and the accounts I helped manage this year."

Eleven Niang let small servant girl go to call amber, oneself turn over account book.

The handwriting is the same, it is a new copy.

When amber came in, she handed the account book to amber: "you have a close look, remember the names of these people and the relationship between each other, and then see if there are any people who can take on great responsibilities."

Amber received the account book.

Eleven Niang raised her elbow to ponder.

To be fair to say, the housekeeper of yuanniang has been running very well in recent years. She has married or married some senior steward of the Xu family. The most influential compradors are all her people. Even the cashier, she has arranged two people to go in Even if you change yourself, it may not be better than her!

After a long time, mother Tao brought five or six women and two men.

She introduced one of the shrewd looking women: "this is Chen Xu's family, whose maiden name is Wanxiang. Now she is in charge of the kitchen." He also pointed to a tall and thin man, "this is tall plate. He used to specialize in incense and charcoal at the comprador's office. "

That is to say, there is no business now!

Eleven Niang thought.

Mother Tao introduced several others to her. Originally they were all in charge of one thing, but now they are idle at home.

To eleven Niang line gift, that high dish can't wait to say: "madam, you want to make the decision for us. We have been with the Luo family for a lifetime. In this way, the third room was replaced. This is not only the face of the dead aunt and grandmother, but also the face of you. "

Several other people have also joined in, the crowd is excited.

Eleven Niang found that the man named Yang Huizu and a woman called Wei Lu's daughter-in-law did not make a sound. According to Tao's mother's introduction just now, Yang Huizu followed yuanniang to the Xu's house when he was a teenager. Originally, he worked in the comprador's office, specializing in rouge, gouache and clothes for the servants. Wei Lu's daughter-in-law was in charge of the night duty at the inner courtyard.

Eleven Niang comforted those people a few words, said that he had just entered the door, some things are not clear, and so on to find out the situation before, and then sent them away.

There was disappointment on those faces.

Eleven Niang and Tao's mother went to yuanniang's yard.

It was as if she were still there, and everything remained the same.

I think it's mother Tao's credit!

She asked amber to point people according to the pamphlet given by mother Tao.

There are four maids: Yanhong, lvcalyx, crimson and Baolan, four second-class maids like Meiqin, Zhuxiu, Guifen and Shuizhi. There are more than twenty third-class and fourth-class maids like Fangfei and taorui, and a dozen or so women. All in all, there are more than 40 people.

Eleven Niang discussed with Tao's mother: "Yanhong several big you help to find a good family to let go! Leave a few more smart people to help take care of the yard. Don't let it be abandoned. "

Tao's mother nodded, thinking of the deceased yuanniang, her eyes were full of tears.

Eleven Niang looks at the day is not early, went to too madam there.

The third and fifth ladies are here.

One and the servant girls are putting the chopsticks, the other and Mrs. Tai are kissing each other to talk on the Kang.

See eleven Niang come in, two people say hello to her one after another, too madam also pointed to opposite Kang: "hear you are busy all morning, tired? Take a rest

I heard that Listen to who?

Eleven Niang found the third lady smiling.

She smiles and salutes Mrs. Tai. Then she sits on the Kang and tells Mrs. Tai of her plan Like bright red and green calyx, they are not young. I'm here to ask for your idea. Is it feasible? "

"That's a good thing." Mrs. Tai said with a smile, "that's it!"

Eleven Niang should be "yes", over there three madams have already arranged the chopsticks.

Too madam does not want daughter-in-law to make rules, let Yao Huang call Zhun elder brother and Zhen elder sister son come out. When they saluted their elders, they sat around and had lunch together.

Mrs. Tai and the children went to have a nap, and the three wives retired.

Five Madame took eleven Niang's arm: "we come to too madam this afternoon to touch card?"

In the morning, Mrs. Tai also mentioned wiping cards together. It seems that Mrs. Tai often finds someone to wipe cards in the afternoon

Eleven Niang thought and said with a smile, "I just can't

However, the third lady politely refused: "I don't have this blessing. There are a lot of things waiting for me."

Five Madame smiles to look at 11 Niang: "never mind, I come to teach you."Eleven Niang smiles to answer, everybody disperses separately.

On the way, eleven Niang told amber: "if you're OK, just walk around with mom Tao and see what those people are doing? Just take this opportunity to see how these people are. In particular, what did Yang Huizu and Wei Lu's daughter-in-law do when they went out from us? "

Amber nodded and wrote it down.
