At night, Meng Tianbo dragged his tired body into the house and plunged into the clean room. After washing himself, he came out refreshed. The lights in the bedroom were enough for the two of them to see each other clearly, and they were both on the bed together.
, one on the bed.
"Dad has been teaching me how to keep accounts for the past two days. I read some, and it's not very difficult. Instead, I can see some tricks. It seems that the accounts at home have been tampered with. On the surface, it is normal, but in fact there are several ways.
The shop is losing money." He explained his whereabouts in the past few days.
Xu Ruoshui said "Oh" and did what she was doing to show that she understood.
"You should find a chance to go to Mom's place and take a look. It's best to get the account so I can check it." After Meng Tianbo finished speaking, Xu Ruoshui stopped the thread and looked at Meng Tianbo seriously, hoping that he didn't see the joke.
"You know that my mother is in charge of the accounts alone. Even if Zhuangzi talks to the house steward, I have no chance to listen to it."
"You will find a way," he said firmly. "A big shot is going to come to the house in a few days. It seems that there will be a lot of people coming. When the time comes, she will be too busy by herself, so she may ask you to help."
"Aunt Fang in the second room is still my mother's nephew. She will definitely feel close to her at this time."
"I will let dad put pressure on her, just do as I say," Meng Tianbo took off his clothes, blew on the light beside the kang, and sighed longly before resting.
Xu Ruoshui felt like he was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off. It could be seen that his plan could help him get revenge faster, so he told himself that he had to bear it no matter how difficult it was. But speaking of that big shot, he didn't know what kind of person he was. Mr. Meng wanted to do it.
We went out to greet him, not to mention the jewelry store.
At this time, Meng Tianbo was not asleep yet, slowly sketching out his plan in his mind.
Early the next morning, Meng Tianbo was nowhere to be seen again. Xu Ruoshui packed up and went to Chunhui Courtyard. However, this time she had an extra task, and it was not as simple as saying thank you.
Bao Ju brought the message back last night. Mrs. Meng had prepared two boxes of jewelry this morning. When Xu Ruoshui entered, they were placed on the table in the flower hall. You could see them clearly at a glance. There were also two more boxes.
There are also some small trays.
As soon as Xu Ruoshui entered, the two aunts from the second room also came in. The three of them greeted each other. Mrs. Meng was quite satisfied to see the joy and peace.
"If that's the case, I'll be relieved. Come on, come on, these things are all for you." Baoju had already received Mrs. Meng's instructions and sent the things on the small tray to Wang Fang and Wang Fang.
There were four kinds of jewelry: suet-colored jasmine hairpin, hollow orchid bead hairpin, pearl jasper step-shaped hairpin and jasper Linglongzan. When the items were in their hands, Xu Ruoshui clearly saw their different expressions.
Fang Liying was overjoyed and said thank you several times to Mrs. Meng, but Wang Mengjiao just gently said, "Thank you, Madam," and handed the things to Bi'er to hold. To outsiders, she was still Aunt Wang.
Only Xu Ruoshui knew the etiquette in general, but he knew it very well. That was because Wang Mengjiao was used to seeing good things, especially Xu Ruoshui's dowry, which was not of the highest quality.
"Late Autumn, you have two more items than them. You would have had more, but unfortunately, the shopkeeper of Baozhen Pavilion said that he would process more for a young lady these days. Even if the quantity is not enough, he will also give it to you.
I've done it," Mrs. Meng's face was filled with joy when she mentioned a young lady from the family.
Xu Ruoshui took the tray and took a look. There were some emerald pearls, Suihan Sanyou flower hairpins and hollow round hibiscus jade earrings. The craftsmanship was beyond compare. "My daughter-in-law doesn't go out much on weekdays. These things are enough." Neither humble nor overbearing.
The tone is just right.
"Eh... you can't say that," Mrs. Meng waved her hand in denial, "You are the eldest mistress, and you can't treat people as well as others. You can't be sloppy with your clothes and jewelry, otherwise you will make people laugh. I'm honest with you.
, it won’t be long before a big shot comes to our city, and even the post has been handed over to your father, so your dad asked me to prepare quickly, it seems that the big shot has a lot of background.”
He was able to get the jewelry because of someone else's credit, Xu Ruoshui cursed, but fortunately he never cared about the pros and cons. Who is that big shot, so that Mr. Meng is so interested in it.
Before several people could go back, the rare housekeeper, Mrs. Wang, came over and stood at the door without going in. Mrs. Meng looked at the time and said, "Ying'er, you go back first." You include Wang Mengjiao.
The two of them knelt down and left, Xu Ruoshui said, "Since my mother has something to do, I will go back in late autumn and come back to serve my mother in the afternoon."
Mrs. Wang had already entered the house at Mrs. Meng's signal, and even the door was closed. Xu Ruoshui didn't know why and was filled with doubts, but she heard Mrs. Meng say, "Late Qiu, it seems that your father will treat that person well."
I'm a big shot. I thought about it all night last night. When receiving big shots, I have to pay attention to the details. I want you to help me, are you willing?"
When Xu Ruoshui heard that he was going to do it himself, he felt a hundred resistances in his heart, but Meng Tianbo's words were tightly entangled in his mind like a rock, but how could Mrs. Meng be willing to delegate power? Due to Meng Tianbo's mission, Xu Ruoshui was hardened.
The scalp responded, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know how to run a house and doesn't know how to help my mother. She is so clumsy that she makes her laugh."
Mrs. Meng was just reading the brochure handed over by Mrs. Wang. After a while, she reacted, "If you don't know how, just learn it now. If Qi'er's room wasn't empty right now, I wouldn't let you learn such a difficult thing."
Something." There was a bit of regret in the words, why is she not the direct daughter-in-law.
Xu Ruoshui felt uncomfortable in every way, but she said, "My daughter-in-law will learn hard and I hope I can share some of the burden with my mother. When the second young master marries the new second young mistress, you will be able to relax a little."
"I hope so," Mrs. Meng handed the booklet to Xu Ruoshui, "These are the daily expenses of our house. Mother Wang has recorded them in detail. Take it back and take a look at what dishes are needed for a banquet.
Yes, you will reply to me one by one in two days."
"Young Mistress, there are some things in there that may cause trouble for you. When the time comes, ask someone to call the slave, and the slave will definitely come over and explain it to you." Mother Wang squinted her green bean-sized eyes and spoke.
Xu Ruoshui took the booklet with both hands, turned sideways, and said to Mrs. Wang, "It's my first time to be a director in late autumn. There will be many things I don't understand, and it will definitely trouble my mother. Please forgive me then."
"I don't dare." Mother Wang lowered her head in response to Xu Ruoshui.
Mrs. Meng drank tea by herself. Although the tea was fragrant, the herbal tea was astringent and difficult to swallow.
