Madam Qin replied on behalf of her mother-in-law, "The old lady is in good health, so she hasn't used charcoal fire yet. But today your sister and fourth sister-in-law are here, so there is a brazier that will keep her warm."
Wen Linghuan muttered, "My sister only looks frail, but she's actually in good health." He turned his head to look at Song Guanzhou, "Fourth sister-in-law looks fine too."
Song Guanzhou waved his hands, "My aunt and sister-in-law really care about me. I'm not really afraid of the cold, but I'm going to eat some cold fruit soon. I'd like to have a charcoal basin to warm myself up. The combination of hot and cold is really exciting."
puff!
Wen Linghuan and Qin Youran both burst into laughter.
"Fourth sister-in-law, you didn't eat enough at the banquet just now?"
Song Guanzhou stroked his belly gently, "Today's food is delicious. I ate half a bowl of pearl rice more than usual. But... it's boring for us to sit together and talk without eating some fruits and snacks."
Stop it!
Madam Qin took her hand and said, "You should eat more. As long as you don't have food stagnation, we have a new dim sum lady in the kitchen who makes delicious dim sum. You sisters can try some later."
"That's a real treat, but it's a pity there's no alcohol."
As long as Prince An is not buried, no alcohol can be consumed. Of course, some wealthy families do not mind this in private, but the Qin family has to be careful.
Madam Qin stretched out her finger, poked Song Guanzhou's smooth and plump forehead, and said lovingly, "You are so greedy, I'm afraid it's because you have too hard a life on weekdays."
When talking about the hardships, Wen Linghuan, who had traveled to and from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion many times, immediately had something to say.
"Old lady, you don't know that Fourth Sister-in-law works day and night. According to the maidservants in front of her, she sits there all day."
Hearing this, Wen Lingyu also looked up.
But Song Guanzhou was holding the hot tea in both hands and shaking her head repeatedly. She was not much younger than him, but she looked naive.
"It's not hard at all, Ling Huan was just joking."
Madam Qin snorted, "Call Diewu Dieyi over, and I will ask in person."
The two maids were originally from the Qin residence, and they were not shy when they came in. After greeting the female masters, they heard Qin Youran change the subject, and Die Wu said with a smile, "Old Madam, Madam, today I finally have a place to complain. Otherwise, in Shaohua Garden, even though the Fourth Young Master loves the Young Madam, he can't control her."
Yo!
The old lady took Die Wu's hand and said, "Tell me what this troublesome young lady of yours does every day!"
Hearing this, Wen Lingyu felt uncomfortable.
Why are they all surrounding Song Guanzhou?
But when Die Wu talked about it, she didn't want to listen at first, but she was fascinated by it later. "The Xiao family's internal accounts, just talking about the account books, there are a few carriages, and only Sister Rendong can help out in the house. Then there is our cousin. It is also thanks to you, the old lady, that our young lady can relax for a while. Otherwise, at this time of the day, even the fourth young master would be helping in the study."
Song Guanzhou cleared out a category of accounts.
The need to turn cold data into fluent documents is exactly what Song Guanzhou, a modern man, does not have.
Xu Lingbai could do it, but now that he has become a little more experienced, he has to do the accounts of rice, flour, grain and oil, and he has no time to spare.
Song Guanzhou targeted Pei An and captured him to be his secretary.
Pei An was busy between the Imperial Academy and the Ministry of Personnel during the day, and when he returned to Shaohua Garden at night, he had no time to rest, and had to work by candlelight after dinner.
Speaking of this, Wen Linghuan and Qin Youran clicked their tongues and shook their heads.
Even Wen Lingyu, who didn't quite understand, gently touched the girl's clothes and asked, "Is this account for official business?"
Isn't this the accountant's...
Wen Linghuan lowered her head and whispered to her sister, "Fourth sister-in-law is helping the Xiao family in Jiangzhou to settle accounts."
There are so many Xiao families in the world, but how could Wen Lingyu not know about the Jiangzhou Xiao family? When she was discussing marriage with Pei An, she was familiar with the background of the Pei family. As the daughter of the Wen family, how could she not know?
Hearing this, my heart was already in turmoil.
Can women do the accounting?
That is the Xiao family, a wealthy family with huge business interests. It is just that the careers of the children of the Xiao family are not stable, otherwise, they would surely be a well-known family in the world.
A family like this, with hundreds of years of accumulation, what kind of talents would they not have?
He actually wants Song Guanzhou to help with the accounting?
Because they were in front of Old Madam Qin, the two sisters could not talk about Song Guanzhou openly. Wen Lingyu could only swallow her doubts and listen to Song Guanzhou's maid talking incessantly.
Madam Qin frowned upon hearing this and pulled Song Guanzhou aside, saying, "You! You are relying on your youth, but you can't degrade yourself like this."
Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "Aunt, it's really not a problem. It's all work that requires your brain, and it's not like you have to carry heavy loads on your back. Don't listen to what Diewu and Dieyi say. It's not that hard at all."
Madam Qin laughed in silence, "My sisters are so unbridled because they are young."
At this point, he took the hand of Wen Lingyu, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Look, it hasn't snowed yet, but Lingyu's hands are cold. It doesn't look like she has a cold. You have to take good care of yourself."
When the topic turned to Wen Lingyu, the old lady's face was full of compassion.
"My dear girl, no matter how absurd the Ying family is, you should listen to your aunt. Everything depends on your health. Take good care of yourself and then take your time."
Song Guanzhou looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wen Lingyu, who looked weak and delicate. At this moment, she lowered her head slightly and responded softly with "OK".
"Your mother-in-law has a tough temper, but she's not a bad person. Be more accommodating to her, and she'll at least be considerate of you."
Old Madam Qin thought of the lady from the Ying family and sighed.
"She was not like this in her early years. Why has she become a little confused now?" Favoring the concubine and neglecting the wife, supporting the aunt, isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
What's more, this is my son's family's matter!
When Wen Lingyu heard this, she thought of the bad things that happened in the house, and a look of shame and anger appeared on her face.
"Don't worry, aunt. No matter how you look at it, I am also a girl from the Wen family. I can't do anything too much."
When Wen Linghuan heard this, he became very angry.
"To be honest, this promise was just a pretense. When discussing the marriage, the elders in my family also asked around, but never heard of such a bad habit. Who could have expected that after the marriage, my sister would be bullied like this—"
"It's not really bullying. He's just sad that his brother is gone..."
"Bah! What kind of man is so heartless? Your brother is gone, are you not sad?"
Song Guanzhou was quite curious, but he couldn't stab anyone in the heart, so he could only lean next to the old lady, eating snacks with his mouth full, but his ears perked up, listening to everything.
At the end, Song Guanzhou frowned as he listened.
They have been married for just over two years, so Wen Linghuan has already given birth to two children?
The eldest was a boy, who died when he was three or four months old. Then she got pregnant with a girl, who is now just a hundred days old.
Live non-stop?
