The next day, the guard chief Ying Tete got up early and waited for a while before being called in when he went to the room. Mrs. Su was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's attitude of knowing her mistakes and correcting them. She kindly excused her courtesy and said: "You are here today." "My son came too early. You came over before I had packed up."
Wei Changying said with a smile: "My daughter-in-law was thinking that she got up late yesterday and asked her mother to wait for her. She is really ashamed. I was thinking that if I came earlier today, I might be able to go in and help my mother wash up. It’s my fault! I’m just clumsy and don’t dare to recommend myself. I won’t dare to express my feelings until my mother is well.”
Mrs. Su also laughed when she heard this and said, "You wanted to come in but didn't tell me. Aren't you just waiting in the corridor for nothing?" Because she saw Wei Changying with a servant behind him, who seemed to be carrying a box and cage, she was surprised, "Bring him What's coming?"
"Last time, the account books that the sisters-in-law shared with my daughter-in-law were all sorted out last night, so I took them and asked my mother to help me compare them with my sisters-in-law, so that my daughter-in-law would not be stupid and make miscalculations. I don’t even know!” Wei Changying said respectfully.
Mrs. Su was surprised and said: "So many, you can sort them out by yourself?"
"I don't dare to hide it from my mother. My daughter-in-law can't handle it alone. It's the aunts who helped." Wei Changying specifically mentioned the Wan family, "Aunt Wan has helped my daughter-in-law in everything since she came in. I really don't know where she is. I am so lucky to have a good elder like my mother and a good aunt like Aunt Wan to help me. "
"Wan's temperament is honest." Mrs. Su nodded and said, "You can take it and show it to me first."
Although Mrs. Su had left the house to her daughter-in-law since Mrs. Liu entered the house, Mrs. Su had an account in her mind about the general entry and exit, and she was not afraid that she would not be able to tell whether the account book handed over by Wei Changying was true or false.
Wei Changying hurriedly asked someone to open the first door of the box, took out the top book, and held it with Mrs. Su in both hands.
Mrs. Su took it, looked at it for a moment, closed her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Take the fourth box and the third from the bottom, and I'll take a look at it."
Wei Changying understood that this meant a spot check, so he took it to her as he was told. Mrs. Su looked at it again, her expression softened a little, and she casually pointed to a few books, and saw that every book she picked was organized. The handwriting is clear and correct, and each item is listed in detail and easy to calculate. It is indeed organized in a serious way. Didn't I just make two books and put them on the top and just come here with a lucky heart and pretend to invite them. She held the book that was the last to be randomly checked, with a smile on her face and said: "Good boy, I think you have worked hard these days, so I can sort it out quickly."
"This is a mother's promotion of her daughter-in-law! How can it be said that a mother has worked hard?" Wei Changying was humble. Outside, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu came together. It was reversed from yesterday. Today, it was Changying Wei who arrived first, and Account books were spread everywhere in the hall, boxes and cages were brought over and opened. It was obvious that they had been talking for more than a while. Both Mrs. Liu and Mr. Duanmu had ugly expressions on their faces. But when Mrs. Su saw it, they hurriedly covered it up and apologized together. I'm late.
Mrs. Su was not an unreasonable mother-in-law. She said calmly: "Chang Ying came early today, but you guys also arrived a little early."
Mrs. Liu smiled and said sweetly: "Despite this, the three younger siblings were the first to come to greet my mother. The two sisters-in-law, the daughters-in-law, lagged behind. I am really ashamed of my mother."
Mrs. Duanmu also echoed her words - the underlying meaning behind her words was nothing more than to instigate Mrs. Su to think that Wei Changying deliberately crossed his two sisters-in-law.
Wei Changying said with a faint smile: "You two sisters-in-law don't know. Fortunately, I have sorted out all the account books that I was given to see before. In addition to being late yesterday, I came a little early today, so I came early today. Asking mother for advice is also asking for forgiveness.”
"What?" Mr. Liu and Mr. Duanmu were both shocked when they heard this, and asked subconsciously, "Has everything been sorted out?"
Wei Changying smiled and nodded. Neither Liu nor Duanmu looked very good. They gave those account books to Wei Changying as a delaying measure, so that Wei Changying would spend all his time on some old accounts and would not be able to use them. Come and seize power. Originally thinking about these many account books, Wei Changying was young. Even if she had learned some accounting skills before leaving the cabinet, she would not be as good as the accountant. Half a year.
Even if Wei Changying asked the people around him to help, the ordinary literate servants would not be able to do the calculations for several months. In order to prevent Wei Changying from calling the dowry accountant to make a quick decision, when they handed over the account books before, they also put in a few account books that were not suitable for external distribution. They used this as an excuse to tell Wei Changying not to let outsiders look at the accounts, otherwise The responsibility for the leakage of the news rests entirely with Wei Zhang Yinglai.
These days, they paid attention to Jintongyuan and indeed did not see Wei Changying summoning the accountant in the dowry. As for the comings and goings of other servants such as Huang, it seems that Wei Changying was not confused enough to take the account book to Huang outside. To the point where people can see it.
I thought this would delay Wei Zhangying for a while, but I didn't expect that she would hand it back so quickly.
Thinking of how yesterday they used Wei Changying's tardiness to make Mrs. Su think that the third daughter-in-law was young and incapable of taking on the important task of housekeeping; today, Wei Changying brought up the account and gave them a hard slap in the face. He proved his ability to his mother-in-law - this means that either Wei Changying himself is extremely proficient in accounting, or there are such experts in her dowry.
No matter which outcome it is, it will not be a good thing for the Liu family and the Duanmu family.
But now that things have happened, Mrs. Su looked at her with a half-smile, and the two sisters-in-law suppressed their anger and disappointment, and smiled and praised her a few words - Wei Changying asked at the moment: "Now that the account books have been sorted out, But I don’t know what else the two sisters-in-law can do for me. It’s really shameful to see the two sisters-in-law busy all day long, even though I am the youngest and always enjoy the success.”
Although Mrs. Su didn't say anything after hearing this, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu were still a little bit on pins and needles: Mrs. Su had previously asked them to share some things with this sister-in-law, but neither sister-in-law wanted Wei Changying to seize power. , so he grabbed Mrs. Su and asked Wei Changying to ask her two sisters-in-law for more advice. He sent her a bunch of old accounts and asked her to sort them out... At that time, both of them said: "We are like this People, there are so many things, big and small, in one day! Third brother and sister, you have just started to take care of things. I don’t know how to explain all these things to you from the beginning. Why don’t you just look at the account book first and put these things together? After the accounts are settled, you almost know what’s going on in this house!”
At that time, Wei Changying also frowned and said, why are we still looking at the old accounts from so many years ago? Mrs. Liu was about to smile and said: "I heard that the third brother and sister were quite favored by the old lady in the family when they were in the boudoir. I guess they didn't worry about it? The third brother and sister don't know something. If they don't look at this old account, how do they know how to proceed with it? Is the new account correct? Is it the third brother and sister?"
At that time, Duanmu was neither yin nor yang, and said leisurely: "If the third brother and sister find it troublesome, then we don't dare to tire the third brother and sister. How about we think of something more leisurely for the third brother and sister?"
Wei Changying heard that if he didn't agree, he would be said to be too lazy to shoulder the responsibility, so he had no choice but to agree...
The original plan was that this move could delay Wei Changying's formal taking charge of Chen Guang, but he didn't expect that Wei Changying would really have the ability to sort out the ledgers so quickly... At this time, both Liu and Duanmu felt very uncomfortable, but seeing that, After reading several accounts, no one was speechless, and they all said: "The third brother and sister are really amazing."
"The third brother and sister can work hard, and we are not as good as them."
Wei Changying naturally had to be more humble - in the end, because Mrs. Su had been drinking tea, although she did not speak for the third daughter-in-law, she did not stop the third daughter-in-law from asking what mission she would give her next.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu did not dare to deal with trivial matters such as sorting out old accounts, so they had to divide some of the power in their hands. Mrs. Su saw that they had agreed, then she put down the tea bowl, said a few words, and let The wives resigned.
Back at Jintong Courtyard, Wei Changying ordered with high spirits: "Get a set of red gold head and face jewelry for Aunt He!"
Where did she find the time and thought to look at the account books when she was so busy these days? These account books were all sorted out by He! That's right, it's not the Huang family who is the most guessed by the Liu family, but the He family - the Huang family is good at housekeeping, but when it comes to managing accounts, the He family is the real master!
When the first few boxes of account books were brought back, Mr. He complained: "All these account books are for the Young Madam to manage. The First Young Madam and the Second Young Madam are really well-intentioned! How long will the Young Madam be able to manage them?" while putting up an abacus. The beating was like beads falling from a jade plate, but she never stopped when she saw her fingers flying. With two words written neatly on the maid's record, it seemed that the old account could be read at a glance... The speed made the guard chief who planned to help personally Ying was stunned when he saw it!
Later, when I asked Mrs. Huang, I found out that Mr. He was impatient, neat in doing things, and especially quick in settling accounts. This was because this aunt was born to be very sensitive to amounts. It is most obvious to say that He has his own way of keeping accounts. Therefore, the Liu family and the Duanmu family estimated Wei Changying according to ordinary people, but they did not know that Wei Changying had a master like He next to him.
In addition, the four Qinge people who were married to Wei Changying also had to handle accounts in addition to martial arts. They helped out when they had free time - seven or eight gangs, and they actually cleared out all the account books in a short time!
Seeing He's unparalleled speed in managing accounts, the guard chief Ying Fang realized that the choice of dowry given to him by his grandmother and mother was actually the same as the dowry, and he had been thinking about it since he landed. As a wet nurse, Mr. He had an impatient temperament and was not very rich, but she was very good at managing accounts. One person was worth a lot of money.
The most important thing is He's aunt. As Wei Changying grew up, he was naturally extremely loyal to her. Mrs. Song's absolute confidant, Huang, was deep-minded enough to coordinate the overall situation. The two aunts had always been good friends and accompanied her when she came out of the cabinet. It's perfect!
He was rewarded with a set of red gold heads and faces. Qin Ge and others who had also helped in the past few days also had their own rewards. Wei Changying was proud of giving a good look to his two sisters-in-law, and also told Mrs. Huang: "Take this to my eldest aunt." Let’s prepare the gift! I’ll mention this to my mother tomorrow, I think she will agree.”
Huang said with a smile: "That's just right. Today, the young lady has just asked for power from the eldest young lady and the second young lady. If we don't mention going to the eldest aunt's wife now, and just take care of things immediately, we will inevitably call others a fool." Look. The young lady is going to visit her elders first, which seems to be very affectionate and righteous."
Wei Changying said with a sneer: "Aunt He had already finished the accounts first, but she advised me to send them in later, so as not to attract people's attention and let people know that Aunt He's ability to manage accounts is far beyond ordinary people. That vicious villain planned to harm Aunt He... If my mother knew what Aunt He was capable of, she would think it was natural for me to hand over my account in advance. I think what my aunt said was right. It would take ten days and a half to delay the payment. Cheng... I didn’t expect Mr. Liu and Mr. Duanmu to be so impatient, but they dug a big hole for me when I arrived a little late!”
Huang said with a smile: "Young Madam is right, let's see if the First Young Madam and Second Young Madam dare to chat in front of Madam again and whisper about Young Madam's abilities!"
"To tell you the truth, my ability is really not that good." Wei Changying smiled again when he heard this, clapped his hands and said, "But who told me that I have aunts like you, Aunt He, and Aunt Wan to help me?"
Huang said with a smile: "If the young lady is unable to do it, my servant and Sister He will follow the young lady wholeheartedly."
"It's not my fault, it's my aunt who loves me!" Wei Changying threw himself into her arms with a smile and said coquettishly, "Auntie is the best!"
Mrs. Huang was smiling from ear to ear, holding her from ear to ear: "Young Madam has become a Young Madam now, and she still loves her so much. Oh, it's really..." Her words sounded like she was angry, but her eyes were full of love and care. Unfortunately, "Young Madam, you should always be so happy..." (To be continued)
