Chapter 314 Account Book Troubles
Mrs. Liang, who was standing next to her, clenched her hands tightly in anger. In the past, her mother had always been gentle and kind to her, but today this treatment fell on her third brother's wife, who was previously insignificant.
How could she not be angry?
"Mom, I've finished reading the account book you asked me to look at earlier. Your daughter-in-law has carefully checked it and there are no problems."
Madam Liang glanced at her and said, "Okay, no problem. I'll bring it to me later. Thank you for your hard work this time."
"It's okay, these are what a daughter-in-law should do."
Just as she was about to smile, Madam Liang continued, "The third daughter-in-law has been in our Liang family for some time now. She's pregnant now and has nothing to do. You can help her with the account books. She can help you in the future. Our Liang family is huge and it's hard for you to manage it alone."
"Mom, this, this...wasn't it always done by my daughter-in-law alone in the past?" Mrs. Liang was horrified.
"Yes, isn't the third daughter-in-law the helper I found for you? Take good care of her. Third daughter-in-law, you should also ask your eldest sister-in-law for advice."
Compared with Mrs. Liang's forced smile, Song Ying's smile was much happier.
She had been married to the Liang family for so long, but Mrs. Liang never let her touch the Liang family's assets or the things under her control. Because she was the housekeeper, her eldest sister-in-law was always arrogant.
She bent her little finger holding the teacup and chuckled in her heart, wondering how her sister-in-law would act so majestically in the future.
In the future, it will be her turn to have good days in the Liang family. It turns out that her mother's family is important. They prosper together and suffer together.
....
"Bang!" The account book was thrown onto the table without mercy. Mrs. Liang glared at the maid in front of her.
"Why don't you take care of the yard?"
The maids looked at each other and said in embarrassment, "The Third Madam said that this was the Old Madam's order. She used chicken feathers as a token of authority, and the servants didn't dare to stop her."
Mrs. Liang was so angry that her face turned pale and blue. Finally, she sighed, her face unwilling, "This old thing, it's a waste that my uncle and I are filial to her all the time. We saw that the Song family will have a bright future, and she's pregnant with that foolish Third Brother's child, so we want to flatter her. Think about it, do you think she has the ability to do it?"
She shouted, "She wants to learn, call her in."
The first thing Song Ying did when she came in was to check on Mrs. Liang's expression. Seeing that she still had a gloomy face, she felt happy.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Is it because the servants didn't serve you well and you are angry?"
Seeing that she was asking knowingly, Mrs. Liang couldn't do anything to her at the moment. She rolled her eyes and said, "What do you want to do today?"
"Mom told me to learn how to be a housekeeper from my eldest sister-in-law. Although I'm clumsy, I dare not disobey, don't you think so, eldest sister-in-law?" She sat down familiarly, which made eldest sister-in-law Liang grit her teeth again.
"Butler? I remember my third sister-in-law didn't learn it when she was at home, right?"
This hit Song Ying's lung.
How could the Song family have so many rules? Noble ladies from aristocratic families began learning how to manage the household, keep accounts, and learn etiquette, including social interactions, from a young age. By the time Uncle Song became an official, they were already older, and apart from hiring a teacher specifically for Song Rouxi to teach them a little bit, they had also learned a few basic things.
It turns out that she and Song Ci have never learned any real skills.
As a result, she couldn't hold her head up when she arrived at the Liang family.
Seeing her expression, Mrs. Liang guessed what she had guessed. She sneered, raised her slender finger, and pointed at a pile of dusty account books on the table.
"Since you haven't learned it before, just learn how to read the account book first. If you don't understand anything, feel free to come to me."
Song Ying frowned. Although she had never learned it, she knew that when someone learns to be a housekeeper, they first learn to read the account books.
"There are so many account books. I'm going to see them until the end."
"Why, you don't want to? If you don't want to, I will go back and tell mom that you don't want to learn. It will save us a lot of trouble." Mrs. Liang said impatiently.
"I understand. I'll go back to the yard and check." Song Ying had no choice but to let the maid take the account book and then go back.
Mrs. Liang looked at her thin back and spat: "What a thing, arguing with me."
....
After that day, Qiao Yun was quiet for quite a while.
Song Ci looked at the invitation on the table, tapping her fingers with a "knock knock knock" sound. After a while, the sound stopped and she made a decision.
"Never mind. I can't hide. Since she wants me to go, I'll go and see what tricks she has up her sleeve."
Wanxiang frowned, "Miss, why don't you tell Master Pei about this?"
"Of course I have to say it." She said confidently, "He said that he would take the lead in everything from now on and would not let anyone embarrass me. Isn't it time for him to show his ability?"
After she said this, Wanxiang and Tian'er burst out laughing.
I agreed repeatedly, the lady is right.
On the day of the appointment, Qiao Yu was worried and planned to accompany Song Ci. Qiao Suo also said that the other party might have bad intentions, so if they went together, they could take care of each other.
Song Ci was touched by their consideration for her, as she had already had an idea about this matter.
"Thank you for your kindness, sisters, for thinking of me."
Qiao Yu: "Since you call us sister, we should act like sisters."
Qiao Suo: "That's right! It's my duty to protect my sister."
Qiao Yun changed her clothes, put on a lot of hairpins and came late. Seeing the three people who seemed to be on good terms, there was some jealousy and disdain in her eyes.
Everyone will get married and go their separate ways in the future, so what does it matter if we have a good relationship? The future is what matters most.
I got on the carriage and arrived at Pei's house.
All three of them were from the Qiao family, were engaged in business, and were wealthy. They had seen a lot of fancy things, but when they entered the Pei family, they were still shocked by the scene before them and didn't know what to say.
Qiao Yun couldn't hide the shock on his face.
The Pei family's house is large, and many rare flowers, plants and trees are planted around it. It requires countless servants to take care of it all year round to maintain this appearance.
When Qiao Yu came to a flower, he paused, "This is the Spring Orchid."
Qiao Rong stretched his neck and smacked his lips, "Really? Such a precious flower is planted casually in this corner. It's really a luxury."
As they were talking, a group of people happened to pass by behind them and stopped.
"Some people are so ignorant."
The young lady beside him smiled sweetly, covering her lips with her hands, and agreed, "Who says it's not? Although this spring orchid is precious, it is just an ordinary flower in the Pei family. Forget it, sister, let's go quickly. Madam Pei is hosting a flower viewing banquet, and we should go visit her first."
"You're right, let's go."
The two of them stood with their necks straight, like two proud white swans, and they were indifferent to everything in front of them.
Qiao Rong bared his teeth and said, "Who are these two people? They speak so harshly. We haven't offended them, so why are they disgusting us like this?"
