Xu Ruoshui looked up just in time to see the smile on Meng Tianbo's face. He was laughing at himself for being suppressed by a servant so easily. Huh, to put it nicely, the account books were made deliberately? No matter how you say it, how do you do Mrs. Meng and Mother Wang?
There is a solution for everything.
"Wan Qiu, this is your negligence. Mrs. Wang is kind enough to go to your place. Although she is a servant, she is old, and there are so many things in the house. You still let her go in vain." Mrs. Meng said
The ignorant name was given to Xu Ruoshui.
Now that she has opened her mouth, she has confirmed that she is indeed looking for trouble with Mother Wang.
Meng Tianbo couldn't stand it anymore. She is such a stupid woman. She can't handle this at all. She thinks she is capable. Why don't you ask me for help? "Dad, look, Mother Wang is really interesting. It's a fake account book and it's fair and square."
Why should I write a fake word and make it look like the real thing? My wife is not a fairy, and looking at accounts is not child's play. Do you think that's right?"
Mr. Meng's eyes darkened. The two housekeepers had not even explained the true and false account books for so many years. They gave his daughter-in-law an account book. Didn't they turn a deaf ear to his words?
It's normal for the young mistress to not understand it when you bring her the account book. You should teach her better and don't let her work blindly with her eyes open."
Xu Ruoshui felt relieved, he was finally out of trouble.
Mother Wang looked to Mrs. Meng for instructions. What else could Mrs. Meng have to say at this time? Didn't she just catch up? Mother Wang had no choice but to go back to get the account book.
It happened to be such a coincidence that Meng Tianqi came with two concubines to pay respects to the two elders. It was really rare for these three people to travel together.
When Mrs. Meng saw her son coming, she also had a smile on her face, "Why are you here today?"
"I've been so busy these days that I neglected to say hello to my mother, so I came here to take a look." Meng Tianqi looked around the flower hall and found that Meng Tianbo was also there. He wondered if he was in charge of so many businesses in the house and felt superior.
Zexian said, "Brother is here too? Why didn't you go play? The chrysanthemums in the study are blooming beautifully."
Meng Tianbo tilted his head and said, "I don't care. If you like it, why don't you go and play."
Meng Tianqi was speechless and had nothing to say to a fool.
Xu Ruoshui, Fang Liying and Wang Mengjiao looked at each other and smiled. In front of everyone, the two of them could only treat each other peacefully. However, Fang Liying was smarter and immediately came behind Mrs. Meng to squeeze her shoulders, which was very helpful to Mrs. Meng. Wang Mengjiao
Then he stood quietly behind Meng Tianbo.
"Since everyone is here today, I will explain a few more words. Today, the Prime Minister resigned and returned to his hometown. He has already said that he will be a guest in our house. In less than a month, he will come over, and everyone will start a fight by then.
When you are in good spirits, Wan Qiu will help your mother receive you. Avoid whatever you need to avoid and don't lose etiquette." Master Meng explained the origin of that important person.
"But that Prime Minister Yu Wenjun talks about?" Mrs. Meng asked.
"That's right," Mr. Meng nodded, "I heard that he is no longer the prime minister, and the emperor has awarded him the title of Marquis of Anyang. It is also an honor for us that he can visit our house."
As soon as Mrs. Meng heard that Mr. Hou was coming to her house, Mrs. Hou would definitely come with him. Then she would entertain him well, make friends and tell stories, etc. It would be a lot easier to do things in the future.
Xu Ruoshui agreed. As Meng Tianbo said, he was indeed a big shot. No wonder Mr. Meng was so interested. However, she didn't understand Mr. Meng's real intention, and thought he was just trying not to miss out on this entertainment.
"I still have face, and the Marquis can come to our house. I don't know how many people will fawn over me." Fang Liying said while beating her back, "I wonder how many young ladies the Marquis has in his family?"
Mrs. Meng also had this question.
However, when Mr. Meng saw Mrs. Wang coming over, he stopped talking about the Marquis. "Madam, all the utensils and objects in the house can be replaced with good ones. Don't be too vulgar in eating and drinking. After all, the Marquis is here."
People who have stayed in the capital."
"I understand," Mrs. Meng bent down and responded, and then said to Mother Wang, "Mrs. Wang, give the account book to the eldest mistress, and listen to the eldest mistress's instructions at any time. If there are any mistakes again, I will skin you."
These words made Xu Ruoshui unable to resist. If Mrs. Meng turned her anger on herself, she would have spent so many days in vain. "Mother," she looked at the account book and didn't take it. She was at war in her heart. What should I do? Just take it.
It is easy for Mrs. Meng to think that she is going against her, and if she doesn't answer, it will be difficult to complete what Meng Tianbo told her.
The dull-looking soft-cover ledger is like a hot potato, putting people in a dilemma.
"Young mistress, please continue quickly, my hands are sore." Mother Wang urged.
"Wan Qiu, what are you doing?" Master Meng also asked strangely.
"Father, mother, my daughter-in-law is stupid and doesn't understand many things. If there is someone around to supervise her, my daughter-in-law will be more courageous, otherwise she may not dare to take it." Wan Qiu found something in Wang Mengjiao's jealousy.
The idea. She wanted to drag Fang Liying into the water together. While helping Meng Tianbo, she could not leave her own affairs behind. If Fang Liying also helped with the housekeeping, Wang Mengjiao, who was alone, would definitely become anxious.
Mrs. Meng retracted her sharp look and said, "Well... Master, what do you think?"
"Madam, let's look at the arrangements," Mr. Meng had no objection. There were many people in charge and many pairs of eyes watching.
"Dad, it's so boring here, let's go out and play," Meng Tianbo showed a bored look, and his hands restlessly touched here and there. No one suspected that he was pretending now.
Xu Ruoshui glared at him indifferently, and he gave him a warning, which seemed to mean that he was bound to get the account book.
Master Meng felt sorry for his son, and repeatedly said good to him, got up and took his eldest son out. Mrs. Meng was confident in her heart, so she said to Meng Tianqi, "Qi'er, if you have anything to do, go back first. I'll have Ying'er to talk with me."
Wang Mengjiao immediately understood Mrs. Meng's intention and gave Meng Tianqi a gentle push, indicating that she wanted to stay too. However, Meng Tianqi didn't pay attention to the push and stood up to leave. He had to follow his father when he was free.
If any property falls into the hands of others, it is your own loss.
Seeing that Wang Mengjiao was still standing in the room, Mrs. Meng waved to her and said, "Mengjiao, please go back. I will talk to you another day." Now Wang Mengjiao couldn't stay any longer, so she had to leave awkwardly.
Keeping Fang Liying was also what Xu Ruoshui wanted. After all, she guessed Mrs. Meng's thoughts correctly. These days, the two families are harmonious, and the distinction between closeness and distance has emerged again.
"Wan Qiu, since you said so, let Yinger help you," Mrs. Meng said.
