Chapter 63 Account Book

The matter of painting the screen gradually subsided. However, Xue's house did not add maids as quickly as Sister Jiu thought. The old lady seemed to be ignorant of these things and ate and recited Buddha in the small courtyard in the south every day. Several mothers and maids around her worked in that yard and did not participate in the house. What's the matter? However, the old lady has no ostensibly estrangement from Sister Jiu, and occasionally rewards some small objects, which makes those aunts jealous.

Tianxiu beside the second aunt was arranged in an independent courtyard. The second wife called a mother and a maid to serve, and rewarded some jewelry and medicinal materials to make Tianxiu well. Tianxiu thanked the second wife tremblingly, and did not feel superior because she was pregnant. She usually only walked in the yard and never saw it.

The happiest thing is the second master. Since Tianxiu moved into an independent courtyard, he has gone to see it every now and then. Every month in the second wife's room has been much longer, and the husband and wife have become closer and closer.

The second wife didn't expect that her generity not only made her angry. Although her second aunt was also pregnant, she was not more favored. On the contrary, the second master had only been there once or twice. Obviously, the second master is very satisfied with her treatment this time.

As for Tianxiu, let her keep it first. After all, it is the flesh and blood of the second master. In addition, the second master likes Tianxiu. If she really has three advantages and disadvantages, she has no good fruit to eat. What's more, now that the third sister is getting married, she has prepared so much that she doesn't have time to take care of Tianxiu's cheap hoof.

As for the second aunt, she is very calm on the surface, not sad or happy. Her energy is completely on her stomach. This baby must have a boy, and she will have some confidence in front of the second wife in the future. The fourth sister is no longer a child, and it is easy to think about her marriage.

For good, after the fourth sister quarreled with her last time, she did not mention anything about marriage, and she also loved the children in her womb very much. After all, she will get married in the future, and her mother's family will be better with brothers.

Everything in the house seems to have calmed down. The busiest one is actually Sister Jiu.

Since the last illness, the ninth sister has been more and more serious about reading and practicing female red. Although the female red was not praised by Xun Xiuniang, she could still feel that Xun Xiuniang was more satisfied with her. However, Yang Qian never came to school again. The tenth brother also asked her about Yang Qian, and the ninth sister only said that Yang Qian was nominated by the son of the Marquis of An.

As for his cousin Li Yi, he may be aware of the difficulties of the ninth sister. Occasionally, there will be letters, but he only talks about his family affairs. He did not mention that the ninth sister went to Suzhou. Originally, the ninth sister was very satisfied with his current life, but suddenly, the second wife asked Deng's mother to teach her how to manage the account books.

The ninth sister was stunned at first. She tried her to design her mother Deng to teach her. Later, the second wife actually asked Deng's mother to teach her. Moreover, when they discussed the matter in Xue's house with the second wife, they also asked the ninth sister to listen to it.

On the surface, it seems to be nothing, but the ninth sister feels that she has been doing too well recently, but think about it, the third sister is about to get married in more than a month, and the house is very busy. Since the second wife has decided to train her to manage the accounts and has no extra time to teach her, it is better to let her watch and listen. Thinking about this, Sister Jiu also understood that every time she saw Deng's mother and Liu's mother report to the second wife, she would study seriously.

"Ninth sister, I brought you some account books of previous years!" Deng's mother was ordered by the second wife and tried her best to teach Sister Jiu to manage the accounts.

As soon as Sister Jiu returned to Dongyuan from Xun Xiu Niang, Deng's mother came back with a large pile of account books.

"Thank you for your hard work, Yao's mother. What shall we learn today?" The ninth sister sat upright at the table and looked straight at the account book in Deng's mother's hand. Although the second wife had promised for a long time and asked Deng's mother to teach her several times, she had never seen Xue's expense book. But I didn't expect that Deng's mother brought the account book over today.

Mother Deng looked kind and said, "There is no need to learn. A few days ago, I have taught you how to settle accounts. Today, I am familiar with these books. This management of accounts is not just accounts. You have to get familiar with these books quickly.

Sister Jiu nodded. These account books are not as concise as those of later generations. They are all written in traditional Chinese. If it is not easy to be familiar with them, it will be several times more difficult to manage the account books.

Deng's mother put the account book in her hand on the desk and saw that only the third-class maid who had just been brought up stood beside the ninth sister, and felt that the maid was dull, so she said, "Can this maid read?"

"Although I'm one year older than me, I haven't learned it. You reminded me that I'll ask Jinxiu to teach her a few words later."

Deng's mother nodded and continued to say, "Seeing that the third sister is about to get married, she has been busy with her wedding clothes recently and has not taken care of the account for a long time. It's hard for the maidservant and mother Liu to help the second wife take care of these. The second wife only hopes that you can learn to manage the accounts earlier and help the second wife earlier.

The ninth sister suddenly realized that it was not her who was anxious. The second wife should be more anxious than her. This time she actually fell behind. Perhaps the second wife tested her because she saw her hurry. In fact, she had already been determined. Thinking about this, Sister Jiu's heart became more and more indifferent.

"Jiu'er will live up to the expectations of her second aunt, but Jiu'er doesn't know if she can help the second wife like the third sister." Sister Jiu half lowered her eyes and actually had a hint of not wanting to do it.

Dang's mother suffocated and looked at the ninth sister. I don't know if she thought too much, but looking at the modest appearance of the ninth sister, Deng's mother also relaxed a lot, but advised, "Don't underestimate yourself. The third sister also began to learn to settle accounts at your age. You will definitely do better than the third sister."

A smile immediately appeared on Sister Jiu's face, "What you said is that Jiu'er wants to retreat before she starts to manage the accounts. Isn't it Jiu'er's?"

"Then you can watch first, and the maidservant will leave first." Deng's mother blessed herself and left the house.

Sister Jiu's eyes were heavy. She picked up an account book and turned over a few pages casually. Her face was not very good.

The third sister's status around the second wife is much higher than she thought. No, she must become the second wife's right-hand man before the third sister gets married. Looking at the dense text on the account book, the ninth sister changed her previous plan and started with this account book. There is still more than a month before the third sister will get married.
