Mrs. Qi Er looked at Xun Qingran, "You child..."

"Please teach me your wife." Xun Qingran got up, went to Mrs. Qi Er, and then bowed.

Mrs. Qi pulled Xun Qingran up.

"... The fourth brother had never gotten married before, so he naturally worries about everything himself. Now that you have entered the door, you should share some of it for him, so that he can only focus on his errands and other chores, and you will take over him. You will help him take care of this prospect. You will naturally control your dowry?"

Xun Qingran said oh, and suddenly realized, "This is good, but you naturally know the character of Madam and the Fourth Master. I am always a little afraid of him. I also need Madam to give more tips."

"Who can you still use to mention it?" Mrs. Qi Er laughed, paused, and then said again: "I heard that there are many farms outside Tongzhou, and the famous imperial villages are all rewarded by the emperor to his confidants. I heard that they are surrounded by mountains and rivers and have a great future."

After saying that, Mrs. Qi Er got up and went to the inner room, and took out a small wooden box.

"You are young and you need to spend more. Take these and keep them for rewards."

Xun Qingran took the wooden box and opened it. The inside was divided into two layers. The lower layer was filled with small silver croakers, including plum blossoms, crabapple, and pen ingots. The upper layer was about ten different gold and silver hairpins, simple in style, but meticulous in workmanship. They were all very decent things that appreciated people.

"The wife has not fulfilled her filial piety to her wife, but she took her wife's things first. The Fourth Master knows and wants to talk about her wife." Xun Qingran pushed the box back.

"Who wants you to tell him?" Mrs. Qi Er pulled Xun Qingran to her side, "We are women who need to follow the three and four virtues. However, men are big-minded and do big things outside. When a young couple is naturally intimate, you will plan for the future... Your sisters will always get married, and then they will be from other people's families. The fourth brother and the others have errands. In this house, we mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will spend a long time with us. I don't think about you, but for whom. If you take good care of the fourth brother for me, you will be filial. What is this box of things? My things will be yours in the future."

Xun Qingran gave in a little, and saw Mrs. Qi Er say this, so she took the box away. "Madam, don't think I'm clumsy, I'm naturally willing to come and talk to my wife more."

Xun Qingran came out of the Hall of Prayer for Life. He didn't go far, but listened to someone's greeting behind him.

"Fourth brother and sister, go slowly and wait for me."

Xun Qingran hurriedly turned around, but it was Grandma Qi who came from behind with two little girls.

"What is the second sister-in-law doing?"

"The old lady wants to eat the water chestnut cake, and it needs to be delicate and small, but the mold is kept in the warehouse. I just brought someone to find it. I made some dinner and I asked someone to send a copy to my younger brother and sister."

Xun Qingran hurriedly thanked.

"I have wanted to talk to my sister for a long time, but I can't go over and disturb me if you are newly married. The second master went to Baoding to do business. Before he came back, my sister would come to my place to sit."

"Just going to go over and pay tribute to my second sister-in-law."

The two of them came to the second grandma Qi's room while chatting and laughing.

The pomegranate courtyard where the second grandma Qi lives is next to Wangyouju. In front of the door is a white powder screen wall. Turning over the screen wall, there are three spacious upside-down halls, which are the location of the director of the second grandma Qi. The second grandma Qi took Xun Qingran around the hall, entered the moon gate, and passed through a hall. It was the inner courtyard of the pomegranate garden. There are four main rooms facing north and south on the front, the left and right ear rooms and the wing rooms, and there is a veranda connecting the hand-paper corridor around it.

Grandma Qi explained: "...I originally lived in the yard next to Shannian Hall. Later, in order to serve the old lady and take care of housework, I simply moved here."

The two entered the upper room and sat down directly to the main hall on the east side. Dong'er brought tea to serve him. The little girls came in one after another and put on fresh fruits and pastries.

"What are the fourth brother and sister missing? What should we use? We don't need to be polite, just send someone to ask me for it." said the second grandma Qi.

"My second sister-in-law is in charge, so I will have to trouble my second sister-in-law in the future." Xun Qingran hurriedly thanked.

Second Grandma Qi laughed, "That's right for sister."

The two of them were chatting about family matters one by one. Dong'er brought a golden lacquered tea tray and brought a small cup in to present it to the second grandma Qi.

Second Grandma Qi took the cover and frowned and said, "I'm so tired of drinking this Lao Shizi medicine soup, so I'm so tired. Let's put it on first."

"Grandma should drink while it's hot, don't forget the doctor's instructions. The old lady and the wife also ordered the maid to make sure to watch grandma drink every day."

Second Grandma Qi had no choice but to take Gai Chuan and smile at Xun Qingran, "Sister-in-law, I look at this girl, I'm spoiled to you. She took the old lady and talked to her, and then took care of me in front of her."

"Grandma joked at me again." Dong'er said.

"Dong'er must be doing this for the sake of the second sister-in-law's good. Is the second sister-in-law unwell?" Xun Qingran asked.

Second Grandma Qi pinched her nose, drank the medicine soup in the lid cup, picked up another candied fruit and ate it into her mouth, and then sighed and replied, "It's just an old problem."

"To be honest with the fourth grandma, our grandma has been hurt for a long time because of hard work, and she has lost her health." Dong'er said.

"Sister, you are not an outsider, so I will talk to you. Since I entered the door, the old lady, the eldest lady, and the second lady have nothing to say to me. Because I helped the second lady do a few things, the old lady said that I was so happy and insisted on letting me manage the family. I couldn't give it to me, so I had to agree. I am a solid person. Since I promised the old lady, I must repay the old lady's eyes wholeheartedly. The second lady felt more and more that I was useful, so I gave me all the cumbersome little things in the house to me. When I was fine, I should talk less than a few hundred things a day to make sense. I got up early and went to bed late every day, and didn't dare to rest for a moment. Finally, I had a cooking look. But in this way, there were still people who would complain."

"Speaking of this, the maid also feels sorry for our grandmother. Our grandmother had a body two years ago, and because of hard work, she gave birth to a miscarriage in seven months and she became a male child. In this way, she didn't dare to rest, and she fell into the disease. Now she has to take medicine to regulate her. Because of this, those villains are chewing on her back. It is said that our grandmother has been with her family for a few years and has no children." Dong'er said.

"Forget it, let alone the past, I feel bad. It's just to repay the old lady and the wife, and to live a more comfortable life for the whole family. My sister-in-law can't take it off, so I don't care who cares about it." said the second grandma Qi.

"Grandma is dedicated to the public, but those villains cannot see grandma's hard work, but they only think there is a lot of money to make. I don't know how much money my grandma has paid for this family." Dong'er said angrily.

Xun Qingran gently put down the tea bowl and coughed gently, "I just entered the door, and I didn't know that the family plan was so difficult. We were also eating the Duke Zhong, how could we let the second sister-in-law compensate for it alone? The fourth sister-in-law paid all the silver and rice for the Duke Zhong. Although I didn't have much gold and silver, I still had some dowry. Seeing how much it needed, the second sister-in-law sold it, and it was also my part."

Second Grandma Qi and Dong'er looked at each other, and they both looked awkwardly. Second Grandma Qi glared at Dong'er, "You are talking nonsense, thanks to the fourth Grandma, if it were someone else, you still have your life."

Dong'er hurriedly knelt in front of Xun Qingran, "It was the maid who said the wrong thing. I beg the fourth grandma not to bother with the maid."

"Sister, don't take this girl's words seriously, you'll be there. But sometimes you're waiting for money. If you don't have timely account outside, I'm not allowed to take out some of my body and put it on first. I will naturally pay it back later. Don't say that selling dowry will make me embarrassed as my sister-in-law."

"After all the time, it turns out that the most sincere thing is me." Xun Qingran smiled and pulled Dong'er to get up.

Dong'er spoke more than anything, and Xun Qingran was very unhappy. Duke Anguo's mansion had a property in Dukezhong for the expenses of the mansion. The same sister-in-law, but one of them told the other that your expenses were my money, so Xun Qingran would naturally not accept it. But Grandma Qi said soft words to remedy it again, and Xun Qingran would not be cautious and bitten.

The second grandma Qi smiled and said, "My sister is really an open-minded person. I envy my sister. The Fourth Master is a well-known man. She went to the martial arts exam and went to the palace to work as a guard. After that, she was promoted step by step. My sister's life is still to come. Our Second Master is a minister in the Ministry of Revenue, and she works outside for more than half a year every year. The third master of our family is not good at martial arts practice, and he is not good at studying, so he still gets thousands of dollars at home.

The money donated to the prison student was not in vain. It was also the blessing of the Third Master. He didn't worry, no effort, and no need to pay money to the Public School. He always shouted that he had shortages and asked the Public School to take the money to him. However, I am not from their family, so my third brother and sister often complained about me, just like I am an enemy, as if I took her money but didn't give it to her. If you hear it, you should also explain her to me."

Xun Qingran smiled slightly. Qi Xiu, the second master of the Qi family, is the eldest son of the eldest son. The title of Qi family has reached this generation, but the Qi family is thinking that the title of the superior will be inherited by the eldest son. Even if the second wife has grace, then it will be inherited by the eldest son of the second wife, Qi Ru. In short, this title of Qi You is completely unrelated. In this way, no one has to guard against Qi You.

However, Qi You has a high official position, and although he is inevitably influenced by the Qi family's family background, Qi You can generally be said to be a powerful person. No matter who is in charge of the Qi family in the future or who is accredited, his clever approach is to win over Qi You as his arm.

How could Xun Qingran do such a thing without enjoying such a superior position and worry about fighting for something that does not belong to him?

Xun Qingran looked down on the power of the housekeeper. As for the grudges between the second grandma Qi and the third grandma Qi, she didn't want to wade into the muddy waters.

"...This big family, more than a hundred people, and everyone sees it. It's just that those who are capable work harder, and others just want to take care of it, but they don't have the ability of their second sister-in-law. But the second sister-in-law also needs to take care of her health."

After chatting for a few more words, Xun Qingran said goodbye from the pomegranate courtyard.

Second Grandma Qi and Dong'er sent Xun Qingran away and turned back into the house.

"...This fourth grandma doesn't rub sand in her eyes, but she is a sensible person." Dong'er brought tea to the second grandma Qi.

Second Grandma Qi nodded, "It is well-educated, harmonious and generous, but has a strong character in it. No wonder the old lady chose her to be her daughter-in-law for the fourth child."
