It was just to put that sign there so that all of them could look up at any time and see what good things this concubine could be.
Mr. Yao San has an honest temper and does whatever he is told. That is a special situation. Who knows that if there are too many women in the backyard, the children born in the future will not be as virtuous as Mr. Yao? If he is a "single fool" like him, he has no scheming.
, it’s good that people can see through it at a glance, but if there are a few people who are very scheming and can scheme to the point of eating people without spitting out their bones, even a few Yao family members won’t be enough to scheme against each other.
There is only one who can be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Gu Qingling doesn't think that with her temperament, she can always guard against these "wolves, tigers and leopards".
"Whether there is something in my words or not, you know in your heart. Okay, stop talking nonsense," Gu Qingling said, "Call your wife over too, so we can talk together, so that I don't have to find people to talk to one by one afterward."
"Uh...Mom, Mrs. Yu doesn't need to come over, right? This matter has nothing to do with her..." Thinking of Mrs. Yao's unobvious belly, Mr. Yao felt a little uneasy.
"It doesn't matter, I have to make a trip."
Okay, now that we have talked about it, Mr. Yao has no choice but to invite someone.
However, in order to prevent Mrs. Yao Er from knowing anything and saying the wrong thing, Mr. Yao also asked Mo Gui to help pass on a few words.
He told Mo Gui: "You must tell the second lady, you know? Don't miss a word."
"Yes, Second Master, don't worry, I will definitely not miss anything."
…
On the other side, Uncle Yao hurried back to the yard.
"Where's the eldest lady?"
"Madam is in the house."
Uncle Yao broke in and saw Mrs. Yao and a maid sorting out the account books.
He glanced at the maid and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.
Without thinking much, he waved his hand and asked all the servants in the room to get out.
Mrs. Yao was a little surprised when she saw his expression: "What's wrong? You look...as if something happened."
"It wasn't me that got into trouble, it was you." Uncle Yao looked at her and said, "Some time ago, did you transfer the people in the yard and send them to your mother for training?"
Although Mrs. Yao didn't know why he asked herself this, she still nodded: "It does happen, but how did you know about it?"
"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?" There was some blame in Uncle Yao's tone.
Mrs. Yao was at a loss: "Ah? Do I want to tell you about this? But these servants... are all under my control. Except for a few that you often use, I have never made the decision where they will be transferred or what they will do.
Is that enough?”
"But can this be the same? They made such a big mistake, you have to tell me first. If you don't tell me, I won't know how to defend you when others talk about it...Okay,
Please tell me first, what mistake did they make? How did mother react when you sent them over?"
"They didn't make a mistake. I sent them there because the old lady can train people. I want the old lady to help me train a few servants who can do accounting. I don't know what you misunderstood, but...
...You come over and take a look first. I happen to have a new account book on my table. You will know after you take a look." Mrs. Yao was a little helpless and motioned to Uncle Yao to come to the table and organize the calligraphy of the maid who she just had with her daughter.
I dug out my new account book and showed it to Uncle Yao.
"Look, this account book is different from the one I used to have. This is my old account book." Mrs. Yao also took out the old account book. "If people who didn't understand the previous account book couldn't understand it, it was for those who understood it.
It’s a bit difficult to see if there’s any manipulation here…but the new account book is different, the ins and outs are all on one page, and you can understand it at a glance.”
While reading, Mrs. Yao explained it to Uncle Yao.
Uncle Yao showed a surprised expression. He felt that this thing looked familiar, as if he had seen it in Yao's Bookstore and Yao's Bookstore before.
However, Uncle Yao did not expect that Mrs. Yao had been using the old accounting method before.
"I always thought that you were all using this new one..."
Mrs. Yao laughed: "No, I always use this old one."
It's no wonder that Uncle Yao doesn't understand this. After all, he was a master who was "unable to handle common affairs" before. It wasn't until Gu Qingling came through time that he was forced to take care of these common affairs.
The first time he came into contact with the account books was when he was in Yunyang City, when he went to the capital for Mrs. Yao to deal with her family's several shops. Even at that time, he was accompanied by people who were mainly responsible for checking the accounts.
The person who reconciled the accounts was not him, but the shopkeeper Qiao whom he borrowed from Wen Haoze.
After that, he also had an accounting office by his side. He only needed to glance at the general ledger, and other people would do the rest, such as bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing.
Later, Gu Qingling asked him to take care of Yao's Bookstore and Yao's Bookstore. At this time, he used the accounting room next to the old lady Gu Qingling. He didn't need to do the accounting by himself, as long as he could understand it.
Therefore, when he saw the new account book, Uncle Yao's first reaction was - well, this kind of tabular account book is better, which can be understood at a glance.
As for anything else, he didn't think much about it.
It wasn't until Mrs. Yao told him the difference between the two types of ledgers and the advantages of using this new type of ledger that Uncle Yao realized that he had "missed" so much.
Mrs. Yao is different from him. Mrs. Yao learned the art of housekeeping before she got married. Later, she married into the Yao family. Although she did not have to interfere in the Yao family's general affairs, she took care of her own dowry and the yard of the big house.
As the head of the house, what she needs to master most is the "account book".
Regarding account books, she is naturally more sensitive than Uncle Yao. She can see at a glance the advantages and disadvantages of two different account books and the advantages of the new account book.
When she told him, Uncle Yao understood: "So that's it, then...then what's the saying that the servants don't understand the rules and it's disadvantageous for your housekeeper..."
"Who did you listen to?"
Uncle Yao: "..."
Can he say that he listened to what his second brother said?
Fortunately, his wife had a good temper and slowly explained things clearly to him. If someone else had a bad temper and was misunderstood by him like this, she would probably not have a quarrel.
There was no quarrel here, but Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao almost had a quarrel over there.
Mrs. Yao Er knew that this was going to be bad as soon as she heard the young man's rude message and brought it to the old lady Gu Qingling.
Entering the old lady's yard, Mrs. Yao Er looked cautious. While saying hello to Gu Qingling, she winked at Mr. Yao: How is the situation?
Second Master Yao: I'm still angry, be careful!
Mrs. Yao Er: Got it!
…
Gu Qingling sitting on it: "..."
The relationship between the two of them is really good. No wonder they have a good relationship as husband and wife. Just for this tacit understanding, they both have to give 100 points.
"Some people didn't seem to take what I said before into consideration, so I think it's necessary to say it again." Gu Qingling asked Mrs. Yao Er to get up, but she didn't bother anyone, and just told her about the "separation of families" again.
Only this time, she made it clearer - if the eldest son has no male heir, then everything owned by the eldest son in the future will be inherited by the eldest grandson Yao Anxin.
Mrs. Yao Er suddenly raised her head with a look of shock on her face: "What?! Old... old lady, what did you just say?"
