There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 229

[Chapter 229, more rain]

Mrs. Yu Duo Ren and Fang Gui stayed in the Daohuayuan for less than a quarter of an hour before leaving. As soon as they finished their work, Mrs. Li received the news.

After listening to Dao Huaduo’s two rules, Mrs. Li was silent for a moment: “This girl has thought carefully, and the food registration books in each room are written in black and white. Everyone can know it in their hearts, lest some people eat it. I feel that I have eaten less.”

Ping Tong nodded: “In the past two years, the mansion has become more affluent, and the slaves found that the second master and the second wife would call a lot every time they ordered food, and it would be too wasteful if they couldn’t finish it. Ah.”

“There is also the one from Shuangxin Courtyard. Ever since she gave birth to the fifth girl, she has been using the excuse of needing to make up for her body, and went to the kitchen to order things from time to time.”

Mrs. Li sneered: “Now the second master and The second wife is imitating the style of the family, but they don’t think about it, can our family afford such extravagance? Because of the old lady and the master, I can’t say anything.”

“As for the Shuangxin Courtyard, it is the master. Open your mouth, let Aunt Lin let the kitchen cook whatever she wants to eat, with this sentence, Mrs. Lin will not eat hard.”

Saying this, Mrs. Li smiled again.

“It is said that the daughter is the mother’s caring little padded jacket. This is really true. That girl made such a move to suppress the unhealthy tendencies in this house. Even if there is any unpleasantness in the future, we will have a reason. ”

Ping Tong answered immediately: “Isn’t it? The eldest girl’s heart has always been towards the madam.”

Some things, even if the madam knows, it is not easy to do, but the eldest girl is different, and can be much less concerned. .

Mrs. Li continued: “As for the purchase. Now that our family’s expenses are getting bigger and bigger, the purchase side should really be tightened. Do something to enrich yourself.”

Ping Tong nodded, and then said with a smile: “Our eldest girl is really a good housekeeper, once she took over the kitchen, she helped Madam solve two major problems.”

Mrs. Li also smiled: “That girl is smart because she is smart, but she is a bit lazy, and she has to be pushed to move forward. Let’s be careful.”

A month later.

Mrs. Ren handed over to Daohua the booklet that recorded the food details of each house.

Daohua was sitting in the yard, flipping through the booklet, and knocking on melon seeds, while laughing from time to time.

“In our house, the biggest food expense is not the old lady’s courtyard, nor the main courtyard, but the courtyard where the second uncle and his concubine live. It costs two to three hundred taels of silver a month!”

Daohua He shook his head with a sneer, then got up and walked to the study, quickly copied two copies. Afterwards, one of them was given to Wang Man’er and asked her to take it to the second room.

“Whether it’s for the second uncle or the second aunt, when I see them, I tell them that I’m in charge of the kitchen for the first time, and I don’t know the family’s expenses. I made some statistics and let them know.”

After finishing speaking, there was a pause.

“If they ask who else knows, just say, I’m worried about the inaccuracy of one month’s expenses, and I plan to record two more months before reporting to mother.”

“That’s all, go!”

Wang Man’er turned and left immediately .

As soon as she left, Dao Hua looked at the other copy, thought for a while, and looked at the sky: “Father should be leaving the government office soon, right?”

Gu Yu nodded: “Yes, girl.”

Dao Hua stood up: ” Let’s go, let’s meet Father.”

Chuhuamen.

As soon as Yan Zhigao came back from Qianya, he saw the eldest daughter and her maid sitting in the pavilion on his only way to drink tea.

Seeing this, Yan Zhigao raised his eyebrows.

People who usually come to block him include people from the Lin family and his wife. The other children also met him by chance for various reasons, but the eldest daughter never did.

He was very curious, why did the eldest daughter come to him on her own initiative?

“Ahem~”

Yan Zhigao came to the pavilion and coughed twice.

Daohua greeted him immediately with a smile: “Father, are you in the office?”

Yan Zhigao nodded, walked into the pavilion, saw the tea brewed on the stone table, and said with a smile: “This is for my father. ?”

Daohua smiled and nodded: “I don’t know if it suits my father’s taste?”

Yan Zhigao sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, “That’s right, the heat is well controlled.”

Daohua smiled and said, “Father likes it.” That’s good.”

Yan Zhigao put down his teacup: “Is there anything you need to find a father?”

Dao Hua took the food account book from Gu Yu: “Father, mother asked me to take care of the kitchen, so I let the kitchen steward take care of the records. I took a look at the food ordered in each room every day, and made a summary, please have a look.” The

eldest daughter took over the kitchen, Mrs. Li mentioned this to him, Yan Zhigao didn’t say anything, just reached out to take the account book and read it.

The first thing he looked at was the final summary. When he saw that the second brother’s courtyard and Shuangxinyuan had spent two to three hundred silver for one month’s food, his brows frowned.

Seeing him like this, Dao Hua quickly said: “Father, there is a record of each day in front, and when the maids in each room went to the kitchen to get food, they all confirmed it.” The implication was that she did not lie at all.

Yan Zhigao looked through it quickly, indeed, every time he took something, the maid would sign it for confirmation.

Daohua continued: “Second Uncle, I have sent someone to send a transcript, saying that it will be reported to Mother after a few months of recording. On the side of Shuangxinyuan, I can’t go directly to Aunt Lin. That’s why I’m here to bother father.”

Yan Zhigao put down the account book, and sighed in his heart for the meticulous and thoughtful work done by the eldest daughter.

“You did a good job, your second uncle, if you change it later, there is no need to mention this matter.” To avoid hurting the second brother’s face.

Daohua nodded in response.

Yan Zhigao: “I will tell Aunt Lin about it. She has been making up for several months now, so let her eat according to the rules in the future.”

Daohua nodded again: “Okay, listen to father It ‘s.” The

courtyard of the second room.

After Wang Man’er left, Yan Zhiyuan and Sun’s expressions became ugly.

Sun’s dissatisfaction said: “I knew that something would happen if my sister-in-law let Daohua take care of the kitchen. Sure enough, as soon as this girl came up, she would attack us.”

Yan Zhiyuan frowned, ignoring Sun’s words, but somewhat Uncertainly asked: “We really ordered so much food?”

Sun choked, and then said angrily: “You don’t remember how much you ate?”

Yan Zhiyuan was silent.

What the wife said was an admission that they ordered the food, and Daohua did not lie to frame them.

After a long while, Yan Zhiyuan said: “Restrain yourself in the future, sister-in-law may take care of mother and elder brother’s face and not make a fuss, but Daohua will definitely not.

” Two or three hundred and three hundred taels of silver is really too much.”

Mrs. Sun curled her lips, this is too much for them, and other people’s banquets cost thousands of taels of silver, so where are they, besides, now It’s not that the family can’t afford it.

The left and right are just sister-in-law stingy!

This chapter is Chapter 229, the caring little padded jacket, the label is wrong!
