The fourth girl made the whole family cry again

Chapter 46 My mother turns out to be the big boss behind my father’s scenes
  System Xiaobao rolled his eyes. He really didn't expect this, so Xiaobao quickly checked the video playback of the incident.

System: [Your father went to find your mother. The two of them went into the inner room and sent out all the maids and women. Only the two of them were left. 】

Zhou Xixi: Are you sure I, an underage girl, can understand this?
  [It’s true that my dad was just talking to my mother the night before, and then he went to see my mother the next day? That's right. They went after my own mother as soon as they came back. Unfortunately, the second lady had her beard cut off. Even though it was nothing, I guess she wasn't willing to do it. So he couldn’t wait to find his true love the next day! Hey~~scumbag! 】

Second Master: I have this idea? Why didn't I realize it?

Second Lady: Second Master obviously loves me! How could this happen? Oh, how can I live?
  Aunt Liu: It’s all a mess!

System: You just interrupted without listening, so don’t blame me for not making it clear!
  Zhou Xixi secretly guessed: [You think my father is not too tired? I just came back from a business trip out of town, and my aunt and my mother-in-law called for the cannon to go off at night. How come I was still so energetic the next day?
  Tongbao, we don’t have this experience either! Look up the information and see if this man, especially a man in his thirties, is really not tired after a long period of time? 】

The system watched as the host's words became more and more outrageous. His face turned red with embarrassment and he hurriedly interrupted her.

【Definitely! My host ancestor! The second master went to Aunt Liu's room to pay for an errand. Are you thinking wrong? 】

The color palette in Zhou Xixi's mind was suddenly overturned.
  Zhou Xixi was surprised: [What kind of errands are there? My father, the second master of the General's Mansion, has to pay responsibilities to a concubine? 】

System: [Tong Bao, I didn’t believe it at first, but later I saw the second master entering the inner room, and there was no movement inside, so I went in and took a look. 】

Zhou Xixi: No, it’s normal for there to be no movement. Why don’t you go in? You pervert!
  System: [As a result, what do you think Tongbao saw? 】

Zhou Xixi: Here we go again! I won’t guess, I won’t say that I’m going to throw it down!
  【Ouch! I have a headache. I probably overused my brain when doing things yesterday. How about I go to sleep for a while and guess again when I wake up? 】

System: [No, no, no! I said, I said! 】

It doesn't matter if you sleep this time, Tongbao's internal structure has to be reorganized.

Hold it in!

[It turns out that our second master is on a business trip to the south this time, partly to work for the Ministry of Household Affairs, and partly to collect accounts from Aunt Liu! So when I went in, your father was handing over the accounts to Aunt Liu, and it was a big account! 】

Zhou Xixi: [How do you say this? Why are you going to collect accounts from Aunt Liu? Does it mean that the business belongs to my mother and has nothing to do with my father? 】

Zhou Xixi was a little confused by these words!

She knew that Aunt Liu was from a merchant family. In the Northern Dynasty, merchants were of low origin and low social status. Even if they were rich, they were just rich. They were even looked down upon by the nobles and were called people who smelled of copper!

Girls from merchant families, if they want their children to succeed in the future, would rather be concubines in the family than live a free life as housewives in merchant families.

Although Zhou Xixi did not agree with this, she could not change the established rules of ancient society.

System: [It really doesn’t matter. Your mother was a good hand in business before she joined your father. Later, your mother came to the General’s Mansion. After all, it’s in the backyard. It’s hard to come forward with some business matters. It’s better to leave it to outsiders. Dad helps take care of it, and your mother will also give your dad a portion of the dividends or commissions. 】

Zhou Xixi's mind was a little confused.

【Depend on! Are you saying that my father is actually employed by my mother, who turns out to be the big boss behind my father’s scenes? ] ˆ ˆ System: [It can be said that Aunt Liu’s collection income this season can catch up with the General’s Mansion’s annual harvest! 】

Zhou Xixi nodded silently: [No wonder my mother-in-law can use banknotes to cover the bottom of the plate. She simply has too much money and doesn’t care! 】

Aunt Liu: I have a lot of money, but I’m not stupid. No one can try to cheat money from me! My second master and I have a lot of money in our accounts. Feelings and money never get mixed up!
  Zhou Xixi: [No wonder that night, my father had to go to Aunt Liu's place as soon as he returned to the backyard. After returning from a business trip, he had to report to the boss first! 】

Although Zhou Xixi was curious, she still finished what she had to do.

After lunch, Fat Ya and Thin Ya tidied up while Xi Zhi filed away the two packages of gifts.

Zhou Xixi was a little puzzled, so she asked Xizhi: "Sister Xizhi, when did you learn to read? Is your writing okay?"

Although it's a little better than a dog crawling, I can barely make out what's written.

Xizhi raised his head, put away the pen in his hand, and waited for the ink to dry.

"Have you forgotten, girl? When the Second Madam asked you to go to school, you slept there. The female teacher left a note and you didn't know it. You didn't finish your homework the next day and were punished with a slap on the hand. From then on, the slave sat there I will secretly learn to read with the female gentleman, and when the female gentleman leaves a copybook, I will copy it for you, so that I can do business the next day without being punished! In this way, although my slave is slow to learn, I can gradually recognize a few words as time passes."

Zhou Xixi was moved!

Although these three maids are the only ones left by her side, these three maids are quite loyal.

Putting aside the appearance of the fat girl and the thin girl, she is really diligent. In a bamboo orchid garden, there were originally four little maids, four rough maids, and two women to do the work, but these two people did it all!
  Needless to say, Xizhi has grown up with me and has been by his side since he was a child. He knows his interests and hobbies well and uses them very well!
  When Zhou Xixi was thinking about the monthly payment next month, she told the second lady to increase the monthly payment for these maids. If the first lady didn't agree, then she could subsidize some privately!
  Zhou Xixi was just making plans when she didn't expect a wave of guests to come to Zhulan Garden.

Xizhi murmured: "It's strange. When have these three girls been to our Bamboo Orchid Garden? How come they all came here after we agreed?"

After muttering, Xizhi welcomed the three girls in very politely, and then hurriedly asked Fat Ya and Thousand Ya to pour them tea.

Zhou Xixi felt a little annoyed.

She hates this kind of worldliness the most!
  From now on, people will come every now and then, and she won't be annoyed to death!
  [No, I have to find a way to get sick! 】

The three girls were admiring the scenery of Bamboo Orchid Garden when suddenly this sentence came into their minds.

Three girls: Can you think of a way to deal with this illness? Sure enough, the fourth sister is the smartest, and I will follow suit!

The four of them greeted each other, and Zhou Xixi invited people to sit on the couch outside.

On the anniversary year, I looked at the two big packages of gifts that had not yet been confiscated, and I was so envious thinking about how many square Supas I had just received!
  　Colleagues have a dinner together, so the next chapter will be late.
