What's more, there is a giant Buddha named Gu Qingling in the backyard of the Yao family. Mrs. Yao seems to have the power of housekeeping, but she can't control the old lady, nor the people in Mrs. Yao's courtyard.
The rest is the right in Mrs. Yao's hands.
It's not that Gu Qingling didn't see Mrs. Yao's predicament, but she didn't think there was any problem.
It seems that the Yao family has not been divided yet, but Gu Qingling has already divided the property in advance. Each house is in charge of each house. The common area belongs to Mrs. Yao, and the representative when going out is also Mrs. Yao.
Gu Qingling didn't feel that she was being dishonest and unfair to Mrs. Yao. She just felt that it was better for brothers to settle the accounts clearly than to make a muddled account.
The so-called "every penny must be compared" is actually because we are not rich enough.
If you have spare money, you won't be fussy with others. If you are fussy with others, it may be because you are too poor.
That's why Gu Qingling was so generous and gave so many things to Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao. He just hoped that they would have money in their hands and be confident, so they wouldn't keep staring at the three-acre land in front of them.
The best example is Mrs. Yao Er. She holds the Baixiang Pavilion in Jinling. After the auction, won't she no longer keep an eye on the housekeeper's rights like before?
And Mrs. Yao had the Baixiang Pavilion in the capital and had the power of housekeeping, so she didn't care about Gu Qingling's distribution of the things in Jinling to Mrs. Yao?
As for the third room, they are still following the first room. The second room eats broth. How much they can eat depends on their ability.
Third Master Yao followed Uncle Yao and Second Master Yao, and was assigned a lot of work. He also contacted some big businessmen in the name of Yao's Bookstore and Yao's Bookstore, and imitated how Second Master Yao and Master Qian talked about cooperation.
Started talking to them.
As a middleman, if the business is concluded, there will naturally be a commission.
Mr. Yao can't get the big share, but he can get the small share, which is a good income.
On the other side, Mrs. Yao San followed Mrs. Yao, and Mrs. Yao Er also negotiated several deals related to Baixiang Pavilion.
When Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao saw that she did not compete with her, they were happy to show off their face and cooperate with the businessman whom Mrs. Yao was pulling strings with.
Repeatedly, the third room looked inconspicuous, but in fact, it already had some small money in its hands.
Mrs. Yao San also discussed with Mr. Yao San to avoid the old lady, buy a big house, and buy land for a second house in a village.
"In business, we are definitely not as good as the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, and we don't have enough connections. We can just live with them and make some soup, but we must buy the land." Mrs. Yao San said with a serious face, "Brother Yi
As our son grows older, we always have to think about him. When our families are divided, our family will have a place to stay, and Brother Yi will be able to live in peace and happiness."
"Well, that's what I plan to do. I heard from people on Old Taijun's side that Old Taijun bought a lot of land, including several in Zhuangzi. We must follow Old Taijun's steps. It's definitely right.
"Yao Sanye said, "Let's do this. I'll treat the steward to a meal tomorrow and see if he can help us find a more reliable seller."
"Okay. I have bought from Old Taijun so many times, and he must have more experience than us. That is..." Mrs. Yao San hesitated, "If you go to Old Taijun, will the information be passed on to Old Taijun?"
In the ears?”
"You can't hide it from the old lady. You don't really think that we can buy land behind the old lady's back, do you?"
"I'm afraid the old lady has any objections."
Third Master Yao followed Uncle Yao. Second Master Yao had been around for so long, so he had some discernment, and said: "No. The old lady has already divided the property for our third house in advance, and also encouraged the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to buy private property. She definitely won't
There will be opinions. In fact, we are not separated on the surface, but each family is responsible for what they earn. Even during the Chinese New Year, the old lady didn't interfere."
…
Gu Qingling knew that the third house had followed the first house and the second house had saved some money, but he didn't expect Mr. Yao and Mrs. Yao to save enough to want to buy land and build a village so quickly.
When she heard the reports from the people below, not only did she not stop her, but she also wished she could buy three bedrooms and more space so that she could support herself as soon as possible.
After thinking about it, Gu Qingling gave the servant a task: "Pick some pieces of land that are more cost-effective and let them choose by themselves."
"Yes, old lady."
…
After the servants left, the eldest maid Chun Chun came over with a notebook in her arms to remind Gu Qingling that Yao Erfu was about to give birth.
Uncle Yao had already written a letter, saying that he was on his way back. Gu Qingling calculated the date: "It seems that your uncle will not be able to catch up with Brother Yu and Brother Zhou's full moon wine."
"It's okay if you can't make it. There will be a hundred-day banquet and Zhou Zhou. Besides, the eldest lady still has a baby in her belly. The uncle can just catch up with his own son's full moon wine when the time comes."
Gu Qingling smiled: "How do you know it's a son? What if it's a daughter? Our family doesn't favor boys over girls. Even a little girl is good."
"Old lady, it is good that both men and women are your descendants, of course. However, I think that Miss Xin needs a younger brother, so it is better to wait until she has a younger brother first, and then a younger sister. Then the family will have a bunch of younger children.
Boy, it’s a lively place there.”
Gu Qingling didn't know how much pressure the second wife Yao would have after giving birth to twin sons. But this kind of thing cannot be decided by human beings. The birth of a boy or a girl depends entirely on God.
but……
Gu Qingling was a little hesitant. She remembered that in her previous life, she had read the pseudoscience about "the pH level can determine the birth of a child." It is said that when women are preparing for pregnancy, they should eat more alkaline foods such as beans, vegetables, grains, tea, kelp, and seaweed.
It can help increase the chance of giving birth to a boy.
If Mrs. Yao is giving birth to a daughter this time, should she tell Mrs. Yao to try this method?
Although I don’t know if this method will work, Mrs. Yao is very thoughtful. If she gives birth to a daughter this time, she will definitely make some small moves in private. Instead of letting Mrs. Yao make some unreliable fertility pills, fertility charms, etc.
It's better to do this.
If she is still a daughter by then, the worst she can do is say that Mrs. Yao's pH level is not good enough.
Almost instantly, Gu Qingling made a decision in her heart.
"Old lady, the second master is here."
A little maid came in to report.
"Let him come in." After Gu Qingling finished speaking, she smiled at the eldest maid Qian Chun, "Look, he must be talking about the Full Moon Wine."
The eldest maid Chun Chun: "Then I don't know. The old lady has always been wise, so I won't make a bet with the old lady. If the fight continues, the old lady will lose all my money."
Second Master Yao came in and happened to hear the second half of the sentence, and asked doubtfully: "Ah, what did the old lady lose?"
"I have met the second master," the eldest maid said after bowing in spring. "I have returned to the second master. I made a bet with the old lady and lost money."
"Hahahahaha..." Mr. Yao laughed when he heard this, "Then you really deserve it. It's not good to make a bet with anyone, but you have to fight with my mother. In this whole house, my mother doesn't make the decision on any matter."
?You still make a bet with my mother, isn’t it obvious that you will lose?”
The eldest maid Chun Chun deliberately showed a sad expression: "Yes, I know this too, but the old lady insists on making a bet with me. Can I refuse?"
Second Master Yao was very generous and said on the spot that he was rewarded with this reward.
The eldest maid Chun Chun quickly showed up and thanked her happily.
Money is not important, what is important is that she can gain face in front of her masters.
