The matter of Old Aunt Chen and Old Aunt Zhang being sent to Zhuangzi was handled by Lu Qingling personally, and Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao were not allowed to interfere at all. Therefore, except for her and a few other people in this family,
Basically no one knows where the two aunts were treated.
Mrs. Yao rarely had a harmonious relationship with her mother-in-law. Seeing that her mother-in-law would not let her interfere with this matter, she really gave up and did not interfere, and just dealt with other matters in the house.
The principle that Mrs. Yao adheres to is that she makes the decision on small matters by herself, reports to the old lady on big matters, and then proceeds with the old lady's permission.
She was so cautious because she was worried that this group of housekeepers would finally get into her hands. If the old lady accidentally got hold of them and took them back, she would really not be able to get anything out of them.
After all, Mrs. Yao still doesn't believe in the old lady, and she also wants to guard against Mrs. Yao.
Recently, Mrs. Yao's business at Baixiang Pavilion in Jinling has been booming, and she has taken over the Yao family in Jinling. She has close contact with the people on the host side, which makes Mrs. Yao feel a little uneasy.
In the past, when the old lady Gu Qingling divided the money, she said it was quite nice. One person was in charge of the Baixiangge in one place, and everyone was responsible for their own affairs. Except for the dividends handed over to the public school and to the old lady, the rest were considered their own, and they could
In actual operations, there are actually many loopholes that can be exploited.
For example, in Jinling, Mrs. Yao Er can use the banner of Baixiang Pavilion to keep close contact with the people in Jinling's ancestral home and build up various connections.
Compared to the big house of their Yao family, isn't the relationship between the second house and this place much closer?
When one party has a closer relationship, it becomes a threat to the other party.
At this time, Uncle Yao was still carrying the "blame". Although Emperor Guang had ordered to clean up Uncle Yao, Uncle Yao changed from a man who dug his own ancestral grave to a loyal and patriotic minister.
Not everyone thinks so.
Among some families in Jinling, there are still rumors circulating privately that Uncle Yao is ruthless and digs his own grave.
In addition, it is the second brother of the Yao family who represents the Yao family in the capital when they go out to do business, which in the eyes of some people means...
"Yes! I understand this matter, you can take care of it!" Gu Qingling nodded and said to Mrs. Yao, "You have always done things safely. I am very relieved to leave this matter to you."
Mrs. Yao smiled and said: "That night, I will ask the people below to get started and reserve all the winter supplies at home. If anything happens by then, please report to the old lady at any time."
Gu Qingling waved her hand: "You can just deal with those trivial matters. There is no need to report to me. If there is anything that can't be dealt with, just tell me. Where are Sister Xin, Brother Hong and their children, you are here
Pay more attention and prepare everything that needs to be prepared. It is better to have more than less. This is the first year we spend the winter in Jinling, and there are not many things in excess. If we don’t prepare more, we will arrive.
When a few children suffered, it was us adults who felt sorry for us. Why do people live their whole lives? Isn’t it just for these children?"
"Old lady, what you are saying is, don't worry, no matter whose family is shortchanged, it cannot be shortchanged by the old lady and the children."
…
Mrs. Yao Er was sitting next to her, and she introduced several merchants to Mrs. Yao with a smile, saying that these merchants were Jinling businessmen she had met when doing business.
According to her wife's introduction, the products from these companies are very good. Most of the silver carbon, leather jackets, and mountain products ordered by their family are ordered from these companies, and the products are cheap, beautiful, and very affordable.
"Sister-in-law, I will give you a sign when the time comes. If you ask your servants to bring the sign with them when they place an order at your home, you can get a few more discounts." Mrs. Yao Er covered her mouth and laughed, and said, "I
The ice cream sold to them on weekdays is all at a discount, so when you go to place an order, you have to find a way to help me make up for the money."
"You're from the car department, you made a discount for others, and asked your sister-in-law to make up for it..." Gu Qingling pointed at Mrs. Yao Er's nose from a distance, smiled and cursed, "If you have the ability to make money, just make it yourself.
, Don’t embarrass your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law will order from whichever store has better products, and the price will be the same. Your sister-in-law is calculating carefully, how can she save money to make up for your shortfall?"
"Hey, old lady, I haven't come to greet you for a few days, and you just help my sister-in-law to talk like this? My daughter-in-law is so sad..." Mrs. Yao Er covered her chest and pretended.
Gu Qingling rolled her eyes at her: "Your acting is too fake. If you don't have the talent, just forget it. Your business in Baixiang Pavilion is so popular that I even heard about it at home. You'd better do your business well, sir."
Do something informal."
"When did I stop doing my job?" Mrs. Yao Er felt a little uncomfortable after being teased like this, and said with a smile, "Old lady, don't just see that Baixiang Pavilion's business is good, you also feel sorry for your daughter-in-law, who is busy.
I am busy at home and outside, running outside every day, and I am almost exhausted. No matter how much money I earn, it is just money earned through hard work together. Besides, I don’t earn this hard money alone. The more I earn, the less I earn.
Is there any share for your sister-in-law?"
"You have a soft mouth and short hands for taking people. Do you want to use money to silence me and your sister-in-law?" Gu Qingling said with a smile, "Okay, then your sister-in-law and I will wait for you to give us a package at the end of the year.
It's a red envelope. I'll say the ugly things first. If the red envelope you give is too small, I won't accept it."
…
After coming out of the old lady's yard, Mrs. Yao Er also invited Mrs. Yao to sit in her yard for a while.
Now Mrs. Yao Er has seen enough of the world outside. With an old hen that lays golden eggs in her hands, she feels that her body has become hardened, and she no longer stares at the three-acre land of the Yao family's general affairs.
After Mrs. Yao gave the sign to Mrs. Yao, she very generously asked the maid to pack a basket of food for Mrs. Yao to take back to Sister Xin.
"Sister-in-law, these are all fresh products I saw outside. I have tasted them and they all taste good. They should be what little girls like to eat. You can take them back and give them to Sister Xin to try so that she can be fine.
, there is also something in the mouth to pass the time.”
"How can you be embarrassed about this?" Mrs. Yao said with a smile, "You are usually busy running around outside, busy here and there, and you are still thinking about home. You bring things back every three days. When you bring things back,
, when did I not give it to Sister Xin? How could I have the nerve to come over for a visit and bring such a big bag back? "
"It's okay, sister Xin, isn't that my niece? I'm just a niece. If I don't feel sorry for myself, who else should I feel sorry for? By the way, sister-in-law, have you used up the ice cream over there? If so,
I’ve got a set for you to take back with you.”
"You just sent me a set last month, and I haven't finished it yet. I'd like to thank you for your trouble!"
