Under the eldest lady's strong arrangement, Su Rong moved out of that small courtyard and moved into the eldest lady's west courtyard.
The eldest lady is a powerful character. In just three days, she built her West Cross Courtyard into the Nuanxiang Pavilion of that year.
From the first day she moved in, Su Rong watched her direct people to move things one by one to the west across the courtyard. She sat on the steps, holding her chin, looking at a man who had always collected dowries for concubines. Now he was so willing to do so, which showed that he really valued her marriage, and he finally took the initiative for the first time in her life. Lost money.
Her memory of her mother was already a little weak. She only remembered that she was a gentle and reserved woman. She embroidered clothes for her in the dim light. There was always a little bit of sadness on her face. At the moment before she died, she spat out He told her that she had a marriage contract and asked her to remember it, and then she closed her eyes.
The eldest lady is a completely different person from her own mother. She is not gentle at all and likes to have a sullen face, but she is aggressive and flamboyant. The first time she fought with someone, she said it was a good fight. Our concubine , and there is no reason to be bullied. He also taught all the aunts and sisters that as long as they enter this family or are born in this family, they must be in harmony. Anyone who dares to look down on anyone will be beaten out with a stick.
But she was born with a dark mind and liked to bully others. She not only fought with outsiders, but also bullied her own family. To this family, she was a piece of rotten meat. The eldest lady wanted to kick her out every time, but she always said what she meant. Doesn't count.
Hey, actually she didn't know, there were many times when she thought it would be great if she really kicked her out.
"If you want to bask in the sun, you must also wear a veil. Your face is not healed yet, so you can't be exposed to the sun. Why do you always forget?" The eldest lady came over for a routine inspection of the furnishings, and took the opportunity to teach Su Rong a lesson.
Su Rong sighed, took out the crumpled veil from her arms, unfolded it, and covered her face.
She was already thin, and she was sitting boredly under the window. She looked like a small ball, and she looked obedient, which was quite lovable.
The eldest lady smiled, thinking that she should have done this long ago if she had known that this little thing would be soft and hard. Why has she been so angry to death all these years?
The eldest lady inspected the inside and outside of the house, pointed out a few things she was not satisfied with, and assigned people to continue repairs. Then she called Su Rong, "Come, follow me to see the account book. You have done three things." God’s heart is ready, and it’s time to be ready.”
Su Rong: "..."
She never wanted to prepare for such a troublesome thing as accounting books.
She sat still and tried to persuade the eldest lady, "Mom, Zhou Gu ranks fourth in the Zhou family. There are three brothers above him. His parents and grandparents all built in Zhou. Even if I get married successfully, it won't be my turn to take care of the house, right? You Isn’t it too redundant to teach me this?”
"What's extra? When you were married, even though you were married to a middle-aged man, you still had to take care of the family in your own small yard. Also, he won't have a title to inherit in the future. You two can't just lick your faces and let others raise them, right? You have to You start your own business, right? When you get a share of the family property, you will be the matron of the family, don't you care about the family? You are like this now, wasting money so much, no matter how much gold and silver you have, it is not enough for you to lose? You don't How can you learn to run a household? Only if you learn it, you will know that you will not know how expensive food and rice are when you are not a householder. Only then can you learn to live a good life."
Su Rong asked in her soul: "Then after I learn to be a housekeeper, what should I do if I can't control Zhou Gu's prodigal family?"
The eldest lady choked.
Su Rong said again: "Mother, are you thinking too much? Zhou Gu robbed women with others, and there was an uproar in Jiangning. It can be seen that he himself is also a waste of money, and he may not be able to live a good life. I'm sorry. I'm a hard-working housekeeper, but on the other hand, I can't waste my money, so why should he just waste it?"
Madam: "..."
She took a deep breath and said, "Husbands and wives can influence each other, can't you have some confidence that you can control him?"
Su Rong sighed, "I can't even control myself, how can I control others?"
Madam: "..."
The cute, cute and cute things just now were all an illusion. Sure enough, this was still the same annoying dead girl.
She didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore, "Let's go. Anyway, there are many skills. It doesn't matter whether you can use it or not. You have to learn this thing. Going to drink the northwest wind in the future is also your own business. It's not that I didn't teach you."
Su Rong had no choice but to follow her obediently. From the corner of her eye, she saw Yuewan covering her mouth and snickering. She immediately said, "Mom, I'm going to learn. Does Yuewan have to learn too?"
Yuewan's snickering instantly turned into horror.
Su Rong didn't let her go, "She will marry with me in the future, right? I am the housekeeper, will she also help me?"
"Yes, yes." The eldest lady nodded, "Yuewan, come here and learn with your young lady."
Yuewan: "..."
With a sad look on her face, she responded with a hesitant yes, and could only follow the eldest lady.
The eldest lady was angry and laughing at the same time. This pair of master and servant was really a virtuous couple.
After Zhou Gu checked into Jiangning, he stayed in a mansion that day. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he naturally couldn't rest, but went straight to the street.
At night in Jiangning, the city lights are like daylight. There is no curfew here and the market is not closed at night, which really surprised Zhou Gu. Even the capital city is so prosperous, except during New Year's Day, when the night comes, there will be a curfew, the city gates will be closed, and the markets will also be closed.
Zhou Gu was surprised, "The market here really doesn't close at night."
Ziye nodded, "What the travel notes said is exactly right."
"A lot of snacks." Zhou Gu came out without even having dinner. He originally wanted to choose a restaurant to order food, but when he saw so many snack sellers on the street, and he had never seen any of them before, he couldn't help but think twice.
Ziye was also greedy, "Sir, that one looks delicious at first glance, let's have two skewers?"
"OK!"
"Sir, let's try that, and that, too?"
"OK!"
"Sir, there's still a queue for the steamed bun with meat in front! Let's go too?"
"Um."
So, the two of them walked and ate while the guard who followed them paid money. After walking out of a street, they successfully ate to their fullest.
Ziye held her stomach and said, "Well, sir, I can't eat any more."
"I can't eat anymore either." Zhou Gu looked back and glanced at the few guards following him, who also shook their heads at him with expressions of being unable to eat.
Zhou Gu looked at the long snack street in front of him and said in shock: "Let's change the road? Let's go to another street."
Midnight was reluctant, "Are we coming again tomorrow?"
"Come."
Ziye felt relieved and immediately followed Zhou Gu around to a small commodity street to avoid the temptation of delicious food.
