Chapter 181 Difficulty, Test

"Concubine Ming, what happened in those years was according to the rules left by the old master. Why do you hate Mingde? You know, you are not my own child. The person who came to the house to propose marriage did not treat you as my daughter at all, and you can't marry any good people."

"Really, that is to say, I have been wronged by Mingde these years, old lady." The Empress Ming said harshly, "You can still say these words. You know, even if I become an orphan girl, after all, I am the second lady of Yanfu. Even if I can't be too rich and noble, I won't be depressed enough to be small for others, right?"

"That's the idea taken by your eldest brother Yan Mingyuan. Even if you blame it, it has nothing to do with my own son."

Big brother, when his father passed away, he obviously handed over the power of the family to the eldest brother, but the old lady grabbed the power in everything and couldn't let go. When he forced himself to marry, the eldest brother and the old lady fought with the old lady. He, who had always been gentle, did not hesitate to tear his face with the old lady, mother and son. He kept his sister's innocence.

"Old lady, don't say that. It's a little too much for me to carry this crime alone. You should know what happened back then, shouldn't you?"

The old lady didn't say a word, just with a gloomy face.

The Empress Mingfei sighed and said, "The past is over. Fortunately, my eldest brother asked me to make a bet and knew that the emperor went on a tour. I was also lucky to be summoned by the emperor and entered the palace. Without the help of the old lady, maybe I would really not have become today's Mingfei."

When the old lady was angry, she knew that Yan Mingyuan secretly arranged her sister to deliberately approach the emperor. Otherwise, how could a weak woman approach the emperor?

"Mingfei." The old lady stood up tremblingly, "You are right. The past is over, but what I want to tell you is that this Yanji can't become the head mother of our banquet house anyway. You should know very well how she ruined the family."

"Old lady." The Empress Ming turned to sit down, and the noble Empress was full of demeanor, "Don't forget that the old lady knows the matter of Yan Ji. Even if she has a bad name on her back, Yan Ji is also the eldest lady of the banquet house. In addition, you have to remember that Duoduo is the royal blood anyway."

"Blood." The old lady sneered, "Concubine Ming, you'd better figure it out. In the eyes of outsiders, Yan Ji is just a crazy woman who has been deceived by Zhan Lengze. Duoduo is still an illegitimate child until she is not recognized by the royal family. This is something that no one can change. You'd better go outside and find out to find out what they call him. Mother and son."

The Empress Mingfei has promised them here that Duoduo will definitely return to their ancestors. As for Zhan Lengze, he is not just a princess of Venus. Yan Ji has a wide range of choices. Without Zhan Lengze, she can also become a royal daughter-in-law, as long as Yan Ji is willing.

"Old lady, if you come to me today, it should not be for nothing to talk about the rotten grain between us. Since Yan Ji and the second master are the same competition, they each have half the chance. If you have any problems, please feel free to raise them."

The old lady still knows the difficulties when she sees this Mingfei. If she doesn't make a cruel move, she will definitely not.

"Okay, pick lotus, bring the account book."

Cailian, a close maid, put a large pile of account books in Jin Sui's hand. The Empress Ming blinked her eyes and smiled meaningfully.

"Old lady, what do you mean?" Empress Ming pointed to these books and said.

"Hmm, what do you mean?" The old lady stood up and said, "Concubine Ming, you came to reach out and open your mouth in the palace. Thousands of favorites, beautiful clothes and jade food. Naturally, I don't know the hardship of being the master. Let me tell you, the banquet used to be a powerful palace in the capital, but over the years, what I have been struggling to support is just a crumbling banquet house, whether it is farmers. Zhuang, restaurants, or fields have suffered losses to varying degrees. Some industries can be made up for, but some of them are impossible. All of these in your hand are accounts with losses, and there is also one in Mingde. As long as you fill in these accounts for me and turn losses into profits, who is qualified to be The head of the banquet house, my standard of judgment, the noble concubine, are you satisfied?

"Satisfied", the Empress Mingfei stared at Mrs. Yan. For them, so many accounts were handed over to Yan Ji, which was not a test, but an obvious blow.

However, sometimes, the blow is also a kind of training. If Ji'er wants to take down the whole banquet house, even if she is escorted by them, she will have to suffer, so that she can achieve the style of being the master mother of the banquet house in the future.

"Of course, the old lady is thoughtful and careful. Don't make a new tailor. I won't say a word of objection."

The crutch in the old lady's hand touched the ground twice. In this case, let's wait to see who is the most suitable person to be the head of the banquet house.

"One month is the limit. If you can't finish it, you will take the initiative to admit defeat."

The Empress Mingfei stood up and said, "Okay, just follow what the old lady said."

"Jin Sui, let's go and take these accounts to Yan Ji as soon as possible."

Then nodded to the old lady and said, "Then old lady, let's see it in a month. I believe that at that time, the choice of the heir of the banquet house will come out. Don't you think so?"

The old lady Yan nodded, and the Empress Ming left with the maid.

"Old lady." Cailian asked a little confusedly, "So many accounts will take a long time, let alone solve them. This time, even if the eldest lady has great ability, there is nothing she can do."

The old lady sneered: "What I want is for him to retreat in the face of difficulties. There is nothing he can do. A woman who has corrupted the door style dares to take the lead alone. It's simply looking for a way to die."

"Yes, yes, old lady, I know that only you can support this banquet in the end, and I also believe that the second master will live up to his wife's cultivation and expectations for him."

"I hope so." The old lady sighed.

Although Yan Mingde has changed his habit of idleness over the years, the old lady's heart is very clear that he is just doing face-to-face and really has no heart. Now with the threat of Yan Ji, he is so enthusiastic about this face, but if he really relies on power, it is really difficult. Say.

I'm afraid that this Yan Ji is really talented, so Mrs. Yan is so worried, hoping that Mingde will not live up to her hope.

Yunshu Pavilion.

Yan Ji is holding her son Lai Zai**. Recently, she has developed a skin whitening ointment. After Yan Ji's trial, the men, women and children in the yard are now very enthusiastic about it.

When Empress Mingfei and Sister Jin Sui walked in, they looked at the green-faced demon in a room, and their hearts were about to come out.

"I said Yan Ji, what the hell are you doing?" The Empress Mingfei was angry. When she took a closer look, her eldest sister and the dignified wife was also a big green face.

"Little aunt." Yan Ji came down from **, "What did you bring me?"

Empress Mingfei snorted coldly and ignored him, just took Duoduo to wash her face.

"Jin Sui, what's going on? What's the matter with so many account books? Shouldn't you want me to collect accounts?"

"Miss, the old lady specially asked me to bring these back. She said that as long as the losses on this account are filled in, and the most important thing is to turn these loss industries into profits within a month. If you or the second master can do it, he will be the future family member."

"This, this, isn't it life-threatening." Yan Ji smacked her tongue. I'm afraid that only the old lady can think of such a poisonous account and such a poisonous means.

Linger looked at the accounts above and said worriedly, "Miss, we are really dead this time. I'm afraid we can't even find out these bad accounts in a month."

"This is really difficult to do." Aunt Ziling also interrupted.

"If it's difficult, you have to do it." Empress Ming came in and wiped her face and said, "You have to remember that if you really do great things, you must be able to endure hardships. The most important thing is that you have enough brains. This is not only the old lady's difficulties for you, but also my test for you."

Yan Ji sat on the chair and touched the accounts in her hand. In fact, it is very difficult to say that it is a man. If it is not difficult, it is not difficult for him. It is not a big deal.

"Well, since people want me to go to the west to get scriptures, then I will be a Tang monk and want me to admit defeat. These are not worth mentioning."

"Good." The Empress Mingfei looked at him and said, "Since you are so heroic, I will wait for your good news. In the past two days, Duoduo will stay in Peony Garden. Let's go."

Yan Ji didn't raise her head. She has been staring at the account book in front of her. For him, it was simply a joke that Mrs. Yan wanted to use such a method to make him retreat.

"Miss." Lan Er frowned and said, "What should we do? We can't finish all the accounts."

Mrs. Shangshu touched her face and said, "Jier, don't humiliate your aunt. I can tell you that if you can't handle this matter well, don't say that the old woman won't let you be the mother-in-law. You and I will pack it back tomorrow."

Yan Ji showed a very evil smile and said, "Auntie, I'm not a place where you want to come and leave as much as you want. You, just stay in the peony garden with your little aunt. In a few days, you two will have a great use."

Mrs. Shangshu nodded her forehead and left with a small fan.

Aunt Ziling thought about whether she should tell Zhan Lengze about this matter, but now looking at Yan Ji's posture, she seems to have something.

"Miss, do you have any eyebrows?"

"Aunt Ziling." Yan touched his nose and said, "If you think it's okay, help me with Linger. Remember, you must keep it secret."
