33 Next time… It’s Your Turn! (2/2)
”Yao Ling, can you stay behind and accompany me?” The matriarch wanted to squeeze a juicy story from Yao Ling. She was old and her life was pretty boring, so she was trying to find an excitement. Then, she glanced at Madam Wang, ”Ji An, do you want to join us too?”
”Of course, Mother.” Madam Wang smiled at her mother-in-law. Truth to be told, she was thankful for having a nice mother-in-law like the matriarch. This kind gesture, of course, she didn't mind. She knew she had to get closer to Yao Ling. If she had the backing power of her new children, her foothold in this household would get stronger. The concubines wouldn't have the gut to quip at her.
The matriarch suddenly remembered that she needed to find a time for Zhang Mo Mo to teach Yao Ling etiquette. ”Hai-er, I think Yao Ling need to lessen the time at 'Fu Rong'. I want her to learn etiquette. Maybe let her stay at home at least two hours a day in the morning?”
Wang Luo Hai knew that it was important. His mother had a noble background and it was a great importance for her to have a proper etiquette. He nodded in agreement, ”Of course. She can learn until she's good. I don't have any objection.”
Yao Ling sighed inside her mind. She didn't really like learning etiquette, but she knew she didn't have the power to refuse. She also didn't want to embarrass Yao Ying. She wanted to be a wife that could make him proud. She couldn't help but agree. ”Thank you for Grandmother's concern. Ling-er will certainly learn diligently.”
”Good. I know that Ling-er is sensible.” The matriarch praised her.
”Father, can I go to 'Lin Fu' again today?” Yao Ying asked for Wang Luo Hai's permission. ”I will go to 'Fu Rong' after that.”
”Why?” Wang Luo Hai was curious. Yesterday, he already went there and he also knew about his spar with Lin Jian.
Yao Ying answered him truthfully about yesterday matter. He only told him about the sparring part and their talk in General Lin's study room. Yao Ying didn't think it was wise for him to tell them all about the probability of his high status. It was just a guess, so he didn't think it was worthy of mentioning.
Wang Luo Hai nodded in understanding. ”Learning martial arts is also a good thing. Just go! I can handle 'Fu Rong'. You can take your time.” Wang Luo Hai thought that it would be good for Yao Ying if he could protect himself. Although he didn't mention anything about the possibility of his high status, yesterday Lin Zheng had already told him. This matter was better to be kept a secret.
It would be fine for him to handle 'Fu Rong' all alone. Their new selling system had been established pretty well by Yao Ying. They only needed to check the whole process carefully and maintained a good relationship with the customers.
Wang Luo Hai usually only kept an eye on the purchasing material process. He always went to the supplier along with his subordinates. This was a more important matter because Yao Ying had found out about suspicious activities in the buying process. The servant that they trusted was actually playing with the price. He marked up the price of every material and gained profit for his own benefit. That was why Wang Luo Hai and Yao Ying had to do it themselves until they could find a trustworthy and reliable person for the job.
After breakfast, they went to separate ways. Yao Ling went to the matriarch's room along with Madam Wang. Yao Ying went to 'Lin Fu' and Wang Luo Hai went to 'Fu Rong'.
