Chapter XVIII

After instructing Dongxue to send Hu Shi away, Chunxiang returned to the room, but kept her head down, not daring to look at Wei Ruyi, and looked carefully at the slightly reddened circles under her eyes, as if she had cried once. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wei Ruyi saw it clearly, and didn't break her, but just ordered: "You and Mother Zhao go to the warehouse with me." ”

Chunxiang has always been steady and responded softly, but she hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes and followed Wei Ruyi out.

Although they had been prepared, when they opened the warehouse, Wei Ruyi and Zhao's mother Chunxiang were still taken aback. When Wei Ruyi married into the Yin Mansion, most of the one hundred and twenty full dowries were not moved, and they were all placed in the warehouse, originally this small warehouse was piled up, but I never thought that it was now empty, only some calligraphy and paintings and large pieces of wooden furniture, the previous one

Dozens of neat sets of fur materials and rulers are all gone, along with the valuable antiques that the Wei family married, only empty boxes remain.

Mother Zhao's face was frighteningly white at this time, the treasury was in charge of her before, and she came to check these dowries from time to time, for fear of being moved, and she didn't want to go for a month, but all of them were gone, she hurriedly stepped forward and opened all the black lacquered wooden boxes, which had been turned over messily, and many objects were missing.

"This, how could this be! There were a lot of them here before, and I came to check them from time to time...... "Mother Zhao's face is like earth, it is the marriage of the second young grandmother, and it is the only reliance on her to settle down in Yin Mansion, how can it be good now."

Wei Ruyi looked at these boxes coldly, these were all carefully purchased for her by her mother Mrs. Wei when she was alive, to this day, she still remembers that her mother was seriously ill, but she also called the girl to hold the Shu brocade clothes woven with phoenixes and peonies to her couch, and forced herself to touch and touch and look at it, then she put her mind at ease and ordered people to put it in the box well, and regarded the marriage with her as so important.

Now that all of them have been taken by Yin Shaojun, they are going to be sent to the Zhu family as a dowry!

She walked over slowly, took out the few remaining calligraphy and paintings from the box, all of them were authentic works of famous artists, although they were not very precious, but they were also rare, gently smoothed the wrinkles that were turned over on it, and only after a long time did she speak: "Mom, bring me the list of my dowry, check it carefully, and see what is missing." "These are her dowries, and they were personally arranged for her by her mother, and brought them from the Wei Mansion, I just hope that with these, she can be valued by her husband's family, and she can have a way to live even if she is not valued in the future, but it is not for Yin Shaojun to please the Zhu family and marry other women as a dowry, she wants to ask for it back without pulling it!

Looking at most of the missing items on the dowry list, Mother Zhao and Chunxiang couldn't help but glance at Wei Ruyi standing in the warehouse from time to time, the second master is afraid that this time it will completely make the second young grandmother sad, these many dowries have been moved, or when the second young grandmother is sick, how to end up now.

Mother Zhao sighed, stepped forward and said softly: "Young grandmother, I want to talk to the second master, there are so many ...... missing."

Wei Ruyi shook his head: "No need, my mother tried to ask someone to send these calligraphy and paintings out and exchange them for money." ”

Zhao's mother was stunned, and took the calligraphy and painting to exchange for silver money? Second young grandmother, what is this going to do? These are all her dowries!

Wei Ruyi didn't answer, but asked something else: "Li Zhong is still a banker in Zhuangzi?" ”

Li Zhong is the only son of Zhao's mother, Zhao's mother's head of the house has been gone in the early years, and Mrs. Wei arranged Li Zhong to be a banker in the Zhuangzi that Wei Ruyi married, just so that Zhao's mother can serve Wei Ruyi loyally.

Zhao's mother didn't expect Wei Ruyi to ask about her son, but she couldn't come back to her senses, so she just nodded stunnedly: "Yes, he is still in Zhuangzi in the western suburbs." ”

Wei Ruyi stroked his somewhat messy sideburns: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to let him come to the house, I have something to tell him to do, if it is done, stay in the city, and there is no need to go back to Zhuangzi." Mom will also be more convenient in the future, and she doesn't have to remember it all the time. ”

It took a while for Zhao's mother to understand what Wei Ruyi meant, this was to promote Li Zhong and hand him over an errand, and she could trust their mother and son, she was happy and worried for a while, she didn't know what Wei Ruyi would have to explain to Li Zhong to do, and the current second young grandmother couldn't understand it.

Wei Ruyi didn't wait for her to say more, walked straight to the outside of the warehouse, looked at Chunxiang and said, "This warehouse is sealed, and no one is allowed to enter unless I tell you." ”

Haruka should be.

"The money sent to the public account this month will also be kept first, I have other plans." Wei Ruyi said as he walked.

Even the money sent to the official account of the government was pressed down! Chunxiang lost her composure at this time, and stammered and asked: "It's just, it's just that it was sent at this time every month in the past, if you don't send it this time, I'm afraid that it will ......" Yin Mansion doesn't have too much input, after Wei Ruyi marries in, she will send a large part of the income from her grange shop to the public account every month, which is to help Yin Mansion support, which is also what Wei Ruyi was willing to do, she thought that she was filial to her mother-in-law and flattered He, and the people in this house will always think of her good, It's a pity that this seems to be her wishful thinking.

She sneered: "Just do as I tell you, if the young grandmother asks, she will say that I am not in good health, this Zhuangzi shop was previously taken care of by the second master, there has been no income, and there is no money in the account." "Since Yin Shaojun has spent the silver, he has to take this responsibility well, and I am afraid that the silver of the Yin Mansion will be broken in the future.

Chunxiang never thought that the second young grandmother would not care about it at all this time, she nodded in response, but she also knew that she was afraid that it would not be so easy to dismiss.

Wei Ruyi looked at her at this time, and said: "Tell the kitchen to prepare some wine and food to send to the south wing, you and Dongxue, as well as Qiu Tang and Aunt Yuan are also sisters, she will carry the room tomorrow, I am afraid that there are some considerate things to say, it is good to make it clear in the past, so that you can have some worries in your hearts." ”

Chunxiang was startled, and knelt down busily: "The second young grandmother forgives her sins, and the maid is not to Xia ...... Aunt Yuan has concerns, but she ...... "It's just that after that, she can't talk about it after all, but she still cares about the old love, the people who have been close to her for so many years have suddenly become like this, she is also affectionate, how can she let it go."

Wei Ruyi didn't look at her anymore, just turned his head and said, "You get up, I'll let you go, I can trust you, you don't have to be like this." ”

Chunxiang had to get up, and didn't dare to say anything more, so she lowered her head and retreated to the kitchen.

Mother Zhao couldn't hold it back, but still said: "Chunxiang is a steady and affectionate person, I'm afraid I can't figure it out for a while, so I still think about that idea of sisterhood, and it will be fine after a while." ”

Wei Ruyi walked forward along the zigzag corridor, his eyes aimlessly looking through the sycamore outside the corridor that had sparse yellow leaves: "The four of them have come to serve by my side, so they naturally know their temperament, Xia He will be like this today, I won't be too surprised, but she shouldn't have listened to Hu's words...... Since she stabbed me in the heart with a knife, I can't let her live in peace! If Chunxiang and the others figure it out this time, it's naturally the best, but if they don't understand, I have to send them out and find someone else who can use it! ”
