Grandma Wang had a son who used to go to Beijing with her. She followed Qiao Yuyan in the mansion, so her son was arranged by the Xu family to work as a steward in a teahouse in Beijing.
Although the income is average, the advantage is that I can see my mother all the time and have a lot of leisure time.
Qiao Yuyan understood that Grandma Wang was willing to follow her to the capital at such an old age, and the monthly rate given to her was higher than that of a first-class maid, and she was not stingy with the extra subsidies and rewards, so they built a small courtyard in the capital.
, it can be said that I have settled here.
"What are the rumors going on outside now? Mammy, please ask the Wang family to inquire more and hear the news from all sides."
In fact, she wasn't very sure, but everyone could tell that this kind of large-scale rumor was deliberately done by someone.
But since it was intentional, there must be a motive.
Against the Holy One?
She actually thought that according to the time of her previous life, she would die in the second half of the next year, but before that, she had not heard any rumors about the Holy Emperor.
Something suddenly came to her mind, but Qixi Festival came in at this moment, interrupting her train of thought. She couldn't remember it anymore, so she had to give it up.
However, Mrs. Xu had not been resting well these past few days. The old lady sent people over to ask questions every day, and repeatedly told her not to go and say hello since it was hot today, but to wait until the weather cooled down.
When Qiao Yuyan went to Ninghe Hall, she saw the old man setting up a Buddhist niche in the house.
Qiao Yuyan knew that the old lady had always believed in Buddhism, but she had never seen her so pious before. Judging from her posture, it seemed that she planned to do her homework every morning and evening.
"The eldest and second masters have been so busy these days that no one has been seen, and the rumors outside are so severe. In addition, the wife is pregnant and is suffering from all kinds of disasters. The old lady feels uneasy, so she invites the Bodhisattva to offer sacrifices."
Aunt Zhao invited Qiao Yuyan to the next room for tea and explained to her with a smile.
Qiao Yuyan didn't believe in gods and Buddhas before, but such mysterious and mysterious things as her being reborn happened.
Who can say for certain about the causal connection between this unknown cause and effect?
Not to mention whether it is useful or not, it is always a good thing for the old man to have someone to rely on. After returning home, he went to the warehouse to select two boxes of fine agarwood and sent them to Ninghetang.
Just when Lin Yong came in, Qiao Yuyan went to the flower hall.
Lin Yong is Lin An's father, and he has been working under Qiao Yuyan these days.
He is someone Xu is used to, he has all the skills and abilities, but he is relatively reserved and does not easily reveal his edge.
In the past, when I was with the Xu family, even when I was under the control of the inner courtyard, I didn't even complain at all.
Qiao Yuyan has been very good at using him during this period. He is neither arrogant nor impetuous, can endure, and has skills. He is a rare talent in the inner house.
After everyone else had retreated, Lin Yong said: "The young ones squatted separately for several days, and carefully inquired around for a long time, and recorded everything they found in the book. The girl's account book was not sent over.
They seem a little uneasy lately."
Qiao Yuyan thought for a while, "You used to take care of this matter for my mother. Do you have a suitable person under your command? Someone who can do things neatly and be qualified to be the shopkeeper of these three stores?"
Lin Yong thought for a long time before solemnly nodding, "I understand what the girl means. There is no problem in handling it neatly. As long as I am qualified to be the shopkeeper, this needs to be investigated by you, girl. There is no problem in letting them handle it for two months first."
This meant that he was not willing to make the decision for his master. It was this sense of propriety that made Qiao Yuyan like it very much.
She nodded, "I can rest assured about the people you recommend. You can draft a charter for me later."
After finishing speaking, I thought for a while and decided not to tell Mrs. Xu about it yet.
First of all, she was thinking too much during her pregnancy. She had been upset in the past few days because Qiao Weisheng had been scolded for leaving early and returning late.
Secondly, I already told her last time, so there is no need to be so anxious to report to her again.
Qiao Yuyan just stepped into Mrs. Xu's house and saw her sitting by the window taking a nap in a bitter summer, with the fan surrounded by greenery probably never stopping.
Seeing her coming, Aunt Liu quickly walked over on tiptoe and waved her hand, "I haven't even gotten to sleep yet! I got up many times during the night. It's hard to fall asleep now, and I'm not in a good mood."
Qiao Yuyan nodded slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, mama."
"Women have all kinds of things during pregnancy. Madam's pregnancy is so uncomfortable. It's a shame if she can't keep it safe!"
The two of them talked and went to the ant room.
Qiao Yuyan said: "Mommy, this brother should talk less in the future. The child is still in the womb and no one can say whether it is a boy or a girl. If we look back..."
Aunt Liu was reminded of this and nodded repeatedly, "I was negligent if you didn't say it, girl. It turned out that everyone said this for good luck and to make Madam happy, but now it's smoother. If you keep saying this,
I'm afraid that the madam is used to thinking that she is a brother, and she will be sad if she doesn't give birth to him."
"That's the truth." Qiao Yuyan nodded and called for Xu's prescription for fetal protection. "We have to deal with this one by one to make sure nothing goes wrong."
While he was talking, he suddenly heard the soft laughter of a young girl coming from the main room next door, "Mom is sleeping so well. What time of the year is it and she is still sleeping! Could it be that the little brother in your belly is bothering you?"
Qiao Yuyan frowned, she was sleeping so well, what was she doing here?!
Sure enough, I heard Mrs. Xu's vague voice next door, "It's Sister Ning who's here. The sun is so strong, don't let the sun burn you."
Qiao Yuning walked in with a smile and sat directly next to Mrs. Xu, "My mother is having a hard time with her pregnancy. No matter how bright the sun is, Ning'er will come over to have a look. She feels uneasy after all."
Then she asked about Xu's sleep last night. Huan Cui frowned at the side. She wanted to speak several times, but she swallowed it down when she saw Qiao Yuning's concerned look.
After hearing this, he finally muttered next to him, "My wife only slept for two hours last night. She didn't sleep much at noon today, so she was just squinting!"
The smile on Qiao Yuning's face froze, and she quickly stood up and said apologetically: "I really didn't know that my mother was bothered by me after working so hard."
Mrs. Xu was indeed sleepy. When she heard what she said, she just smiled weakly and said, "I don't know why, but I haven't slept well these past few days. If you come over after dinner, our mother
Let’s talk nicely.”
I originally listened to Aunt Pei's words and intended to cultivate a relationship with Mrs. Xu, but who knew that it actually disturbed her sleep.
Normally, if she had apologized like this, Mrs. Xu would have said a few nice words to appease her, but today it seemed as if she really said she was disturbing her.
Trying to keep a gentle smile on her face, Qiao Yuning bowed and exited. Then she walked into the yard and saw Qiao Yuyan talking with Aunt Liu in the ear room. Seeing her look over, Qiao Yuyan even smiled.
"Sister knows I'm coming?" This chapter has been completed!
