Chapter 451 A harmonious family brings prosperity
But these are all things to be said later. The most important thing at the moment is to let Old Lady Xiao recover.
Mrs. Feng told the servants a few words and was about to take Xiao Nuobao back.
"Fengze, you stay. If there is anything that needs to be taken care of in the mansion, or if there is an errand, you can help Master Xiao." Mrs. Feng was very thoughtful.
Jiang Fengze nodded. Even if his mother didn't say it, he had the same intention.
At this time, he must stay with Xiao Lanyi.
"Mother, then I will stay in the Xiao Mansion for a while. When you go back, pack two sets of clothes and let the servant bring them over." Jiang Fengze sent his mother and sister to the gate.
"I know, you can go back soon." Mrs. Feng patted his shoulder.
After leaving the Xiao Mansion, Feng rubbed her forehead, thinking of the troubles of the whole day, she was very tired physically and mentally.
When she returned to the mansion, she looked at the peaceful house and the two grandsons sleeping soundly on the swing, and her heart was filled with emotion.
A harmonious family can bring prosperity.
This sounds simple, but it is not easy to do.
Fortunately, the children of her Jiang family, regardless of their level of education or appearance, are all good-looking, and none of them are evil like Master Xiao.
The greatest blessing for a person to live a happy life is to have a happy family.
Feng's restless mood was swept away, and she suddenly felt very relieved.
Xiao Nuobao was worried about Old Lady Xiao, so he didn't go back to the palace these days.
After hosting the celebration banquet for Feng Jing, Feng brought Xiao Nuobao to visit the Xiao Mansion every few days.
This was to accompany old lady Xiao
to relieve her boredom. Now she was lying on the couch, inevitably lonely, and only by seeing Xiao Nuobao could she feel a little happier.
But secondly, Feng had another idea.
There are no secrets in the capital, and now the rumors about the Xiao Mansion have long been "blooming" everywhere, with all kinds of rumors.
The Jiang family often came to the house, which was considered to be a face for old lady Xiao.
Even if those outsiders wanted to laugh, they dared not show contempt for the Xiao Mansion when they saw that even the little princess was close to the Xiao family...
...
In the afternoon, the cicadas chirped, penetrating the hot air and "playing music" wantonly in the streets and alleys.
The children on the street gathered in groups of three or five, and the little heads gathered together, emptying their pockets, and discussed buying a portion of ice cream together to cool off.
Li Qiqiao came back from the water shop, wiped her neck with a sweat towel, and then took out a big watermelon from the well.
The flesh of the watermelon was dug out and mashed into juice.
Then it was mixed with smoothies, milk and lotus root powder balls, and poured back into the watermelon rind, and it became a super-large special ice cream.
"Is the second sister-in-law ready?" Xiao Nuobao sat in the corridor, constantly looking in the direction of the kitchen, drooling in his little mouth.
On the big recliner, the little fat girl was wearing a pink jacket and blue satin pants, with two bare white feet, and kept swinging back and forth.
There was also a white little baby next to her, holding a palm-leaf fan in both hands, fanning her hard.
Chun Ge'er has grown up a lot, with black eyes and very well-behaved, never leaving his aunt.
"Little Bubu, is the wind from the fan cool?" He asked with saliva, looking up his little face.
Xiao Nuobao nodded comfortably and stuffed a piece of sour plum candied fruit into his mouth, "It's cool, Chun Ge'er, fan well, and aunt will give you something delicious."
The candied fruit was on the plate, and little Chun Ge'er could reach it with just his hand.
But he liked what his aunt fed him, and when he was praised, he happily showed his little teeth, like someone who was being sold and counting down the money.
At this moment, Feng came out of the house and saw Chun Ge'er serving Xiao Nuobao like "worshiping a god", and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Look at this aunt and nephew, they stay together all day, Chun Ge'er is almost becoming Nuo Bao's little tail."
Li Qiqiao wiped the sweat off her forehead, walked out with a watermelon filled with icy yogurt, and pretended to complain, "That's right, in Chun Ge'er's heart, even I, his mother, am not as close to him as his aunt."
"He refused to cuddle with me last night and insisted on going to sleep with Nuobao. The second child wanted to coax him with toys, but he took the toys away and gave them to his aunt."
Feng smiled and combed her hair, saying, "Okay, the ice cream is ready. Let's go to the Xiao Mansion to deliver it so that the two children can love each other at home." When
she heard that they were going out, little Nuobao jumped off the recliner and pouted in her small shoes with pointed toes, "Mom, I want to go too, don't leave me behind."
Feng took her little hand, smiled and scratched her nose, and then went to the door to take the carriage.
"Bubu, take Chun Ge'er~"
"Little Bubu!"
Little Chun Ge'er was clamoring and wanted to go with them, but he turned a corner under the corridor and couldn't catch up with the three of them.
He felt so wronged that he scratched his head and went back to the bench in the corridor. He planned to sit there for the whole afternoon, waiting for his aunt to come back.
After arriving at the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Nuobao was busy "borrowing flowers to offer to the Buddha". He held up the ice yogurt made by his second sister-in-law and skipped to the bedroom.
"Grandma Xiao, come and eat the watermelon-flavored yogurt. My second sister-in-law's shop also sells this. It's very popular recently!"
As soon as she walked around the screen, she saw Mrs. Xiao checking the account.
The graceful old lady was half sitting on the bed. There was a small stool next to the bed, on which was a thick stack of account books. Some of them had been opened and read, but most of them had not been touched.
Little Nuobao was a little worried, "Didn't we agree to take a good rest? Why did Grandma Xiao take so many account books?"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Xiao was willing to put down her abacus plate and was about to hug Little Nuobao.
"Okay, okay, listen to our dear, I won't watch it anymore."
At this time, a scent of chrysanthemum tea came, and it was Mrs. Xiao who came with chrysanthemum and ginseng soup.
"It's because of you that you are here, otherwise I don't know how long mother would have to watch it. No matter how much I persuaded her, she didn't listen. It's better that Nuobao is here." Mrs. Xiao was somewhat reproachful, after all, she was worried about her mother-in-law's health.
It turned out that in the past few days, the red lights of the Xiao family's cloth shops have been lit one after another.
Because Mr. Xiao had bribed several under-treasured people to steal a lot of money every now and then, and he had to make up for the shortfall by reporting false accounts.
Mrs. Xiao had no choice but to find out as soon as possible to know how much money was actually missing.
Feng couldn't help but say a few more words, "Doctor Yu told you not to work too hard and to take care of your health. It's okay if you look at one or two accounts, but there are at least thirty or forty accounts here, and it takes a lot of energy to count them. How can you bear it?"
Old Mrs. Xiao sighed and touched Xiao Nuobao's face.
"I have no choice. The cloth shop was the most profitable shop in my family, but it has been difficult to continue in recent years. I am now trying to sort out the bad accounts as soon as possible, in order to make a good account. Should I send the employees away and close the cloth shop, or think of something else?"
Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't help feeling unhappy.
The Xiao family's business was originally spread all over the capital, and they were so rich that they could even make a living with gold.
But she was getting old, and there were not many people in her family, so no one could take over.
So she could only watch the business go downhill, which was the hard work of most of her life.
"Time is really unforgiving, and you have to accept your old age." Mrs. Xiao smiled bitterly.
Mrs. Xiao looked at her uncomfortably, "It's all my fault that my daughter-in-law is useless. She can't even understand the account book, and you have to drag your sick body to suffer."
Calculate the profit and loss by looking at the account book?
Xiao Nuobao swallowed a mouthful of ice cream, and suddenly thought of his fifth brother, "Grandma Xiao, why don't you call my Wu Guoguo over and let him help you?"
The fifth brother couldn't save the Xiao family's business for the time being.
But Xiao Nuobao still had confidence in him to calculate some bad accounts.
Mrs. Xiao was skeptical at first. "Feng Miao is good at accounting, and he has no problem looking at some ordinary account books. I have also taught him."
"But the accounts of this cloth shop are mixed with forgeries, and he is a child who has never run a business. I am afraid he can handle it." Mrs. Xiao was afraid that it would be difficult for him.
"Let the fifth brother try, Grandma Xiao~ Once he can do it." Xiao Nuobao stomped his feet with a smile.
Feng listened to the lady, and while Mrs. Xiao was still hesitating, she asked the coachman to go back to the Jiang family and pick up Feng Miao.
I thought that these complicated accounts would give Feng Miao a headache.
But I never thought that this little "swindler" would be excited immediately after opening it!
For him, the fake account of the cloth shop was like a fish in water, which was just in line with his "strength".
On the contrary, he felt that it was a waste of talent to do the accounting for the Xianquanju at home, or the water shop now.
He sat from afternoon to evening, and before the sun set, he had finished the thick stack of account books.
Little Fengmiao stretched his waist and smiled with gap teeth, "My butcher knife has been used in the right place today. Master, please take a look and see if I have calculated it clearly?"
Old Mrs. Xiao looked down and saw that the account book was full of marks, all of which were the problems found by Fengmiao.
What surprised her even more was that these were not only fake.
Even Feng Miao was able to combine the accounts and calculate the actual amount of money, which even made Mrs. Xiao, a business veteran, sigh in admiration!
