Mrs. Cai seems to be inconspicuous, but who knows that her natal family is the largest aristocratic family in the place next door?
At that time, her older sisters had all married into wealthy families, and those behind her wanted to find some potential young people, and one of them chose her husband, Cai Zhongyan.
Cai Zhongyan's family background is not obvious, but he is a member of the Qingliu School in Jinling. Several generations of people have taken the imperial examination and served as officials. They are deeply entangled in Jinling, so he can be regarded as quite wealthy.
But there is one weakness in this kind of family, that is, there are no particularly big officials in the family. If you want to advance, you have to find a backer for yourself.
Therefore, the largest aristocratic family next door, Mrs. Cai's natal family, became interested.
If he hadn't met a Miao woman later, Cai Zhongyan might have been able to make achievements in the local area and enter the capital, but it's a pity...
Cai Zhongyan's handling of the Miao women's affairs somewhat damaged the relationship between the government and the indigenous people, and he was punished and had no hope of promotion.
Later, Cai Zhongyan had no choice but to return to Jinling and become a minor local official.
With the auction house and the group joining Baixiang Pavilion, Jinling and the surrounding markets were directly made famous by Mrs. Yao Er, making Mrs. Yao Er make a lot of money.
The proud second Mrs. Yao naturally wanted to show off in front of Mrs. Yao.
Mrs. Yao: "..."
——Don’t you know that the template you have here can also be used in Beijing?
However, the capital city is quite far away, and Mrs. Yao cannot control it herself. She can only leave this matter to the old lady's natal family, the Gu family, or the eldest prince's concubine.
As for Mrs. Yao’s own natal family, the Sun family...
Mrs. Yao said that of course she would take him with her to play with, but given the complicated situation in Beijing, it was not something her family could afford, so she would just hug her thighs and play with those thick thighs.
Like the places around the capital, those thick thighs wouldn't be in the way, so her mother's family could have some fun.
Therefore, Mrs. Yao really didn't dare to play in such a big way like the second Mrs. Yao, so she could only keep it secret and secretly make a fortune.
In addition, the news over there is not that fast, compared to Mrs. Yao's second wife who is right in front of her, Mrs. Yao's side seems much deserted.
"Sister-in-law, I gave this to Sister Xin. When Sister Xin comes back from school, remember to give it to her." Mrs. Yao Er told the maid to bring the things over, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud on her face.
——So what if you are the eldest lady? Who would recognize you in this land of Aurous Hill?
——If people want to recognize me, they must also recognize my second wife.
The eldest maid Xia Mo standing nearby was a little unconvinced, but seeing Mrs. Yao's smile on her face and no look of anger at all, she didn't dare to make a mistake, so she could only accept it honestly.
Last time, she only complained a few words for her master, but was punished by her master when she came back.
——Sigh... It's very difficult for her to be an overly loyal little maid!
"Thank you. I'd like to trouble you, the second aunt, to worry about a little girl like her when you are so busy outside." Mrs. Yao Er said with a smile.
"Hey, that's all right. Who asked her to call me second aunt? My sister-in-law is busy, so I won't bother you. It's just that my silver carbon is a little short. Please take care of me and give it to me when the time comes.
Send some more over there."
"It's just getting cold today, so I won't be in a hurry to use the silver carbon, so I'll give you a little less just in case. As for the other one, I'll give you a little less so you don't take up space there and have no room to put it.
When it gets really cold, we will give more away. Don’t worry, everyone will have their share.” Madam Yao wanted to remind the other party that the amount of silver carbon each master needed to use had been decided in advance.
.
If it exceeds the stipulated share, you will need to pay for the rest yourself.
And these were all decided by her alone, but they had discussed them with the old lady Gu Qingling.
"Oh, that's it," Mrs. Yao Er slapped her forehead, as if she had just remembered, "I'm just telling you, why is my share so good? Since it's just a preparation in advance, okay, I'll actually use it when the time comes.
When you get up, sister-in-law will judge me again."
Second Mrs. Yao said goodbye and left Mrs. Yao's courtyard with a group of maids and women.
The eldest maid Xia Mo looked over what Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao had given her and rolled her eyes: "Madam, Mrs. Yao also bullied you for your good temper. If it had been another person, she would have been punished if she did this every two days.
It was beaten out."
"Have you forgotten your memory from last time again?"
Without Madam Yao having to say anything, another maid, Xia Tao, who had been following Madam Yao, spoke up and warned Xia Mo.
Xia Mo pouted and whispered: "I know, I know, I am..."
"Um?"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Can I send these things to the young lady later?"
After the eldest maid Xia Tao finished "teaching" Xia Mo, Mrs. Yao opened her mouth and said, "No, there is a monthly exam today. Sister Xin will come to my place after school. I will let her take her back then."
"
"Yes, this slave knows."
…
The house was no longer troubled by Aunt Chen, Aunt Zhang, Master Yao Liu, Miss Yao Qi, and Miss Yao Ba. Gu Qingling sent someone to look at them, and the Yao family suddenly became much quieter.
Mrs. Yao was in charge of the general affairs, and Mrs. Yao was in charge of Jinling's business. Even in the Yao Academy, Uncle Yao and Mr. Yao were busy. Apart from making decisions, Gu Qingling had a lot of free time most of the time.
Then she has time to take care of the little bun in her yard.
Three lifts, four rolls, six sittings, seven rolls, eight climbs and nine lifts. At one year old, Yao Jiuye can walk. The little bun Yao Jiuye has reached the age where he can roll over. Because the weather is getting colder, the room where Lu Qingling usually stays was covered with blankets early, and then put
As soon as the little bun was placed on the blanket, the active little guy started to practice turning over.
When he couldn't turn it over any more, he would look inside with his big dark eyes and scream "Ahhhh".
Gu Qingling had never taken care of a child before, so she didn't know what kind of things a child of that age could play. However, the housekeeper around her, Mrs. Chen, had experience and took Xiu Niang to make a few cloth dolls to make little Baozi happy.
The colorful strips of cloth really attracted Little Baozi's attention. He shouted "Ahhh" and wanted to grab it.
When Gu Qingling saw it, he gave them an idea. It was boring to play with just one doll, so he had to make a few more, and then he did carpentry to make a shelf, which was placed directly above the little bun's body.
The shelf is made flexible and has a mechanism. Then bind the rope at the other end to the little bun's leg. When the little bun's leg shakes, the shelf will rotate. When the shelf rotates, all kinds of colorful dolls and dolls hanging on the shelf will appear.
The color will attract the little bun's attention, making him unable to help but stretch out his hand to reach for it.
In this way, even if there is no maid to take care of him, the little bun can still entertain himself and have fun when he wakes up.
When Chen Ma saw it, she praised Cai Taijun for being smart and smarter than people like them today. How come they didn't think of such a good thing?
Gu Qingling resisted the urge to roll her eyes: This Mother Chen is getting more and more skilled at flattery, really...
