CHAPTER XXIII

When Su Qingni came to the main courtyard, the eldest and youngest grandmothers had already left, and Mrs. Hou was sitting in the room sulking. This family is still in charge of itself, but the eldest daughter-in-law treats the things of the Hou Mansion as her own, how can she not be angry? You must know that even if the family is separated, the eldest son and daughter-in-law will not get a share of 70 percent of the property as the heirs of the Hou Mansion, and the remaining 30 percent will belong to the second son and the younger son, so what will happen to the property that he gives the younger son in advance?

Mrs. Hou snorted coldly and said to the eldest maid beside her: "Ask someone to go to the front yard to guard, and let the eldest young master come to see me as soon as he comes back." ”

When the time comes, she will ask her eldest son in person if he doesn't regard her mother and younger brother as relatives, whether he has regarded the Hou Mansion as his room, and wants to drive her mother and younger brother out of the Hou Mansion.

The big maid went out to arrange people, and just after ordering a mother-in-law, she saw Su Qingni walking over with the little maid.

The eldest girl Chunmei stepped forward to greet Su Qingni and personally led her into the room.

When Mrs. Hou saw Su Qingni, she hurriedly called someone to her side and asked, "Why did you kid run to the pawnshop to make things?"

Su Qingni thought that Mrs. Hou was blaming him for his actions, and learned from the original owner to make a pitiful look, and said: "Mother, the son doesn't want to, it's just that the son is really short of money, and he doesn't want to keep asking his mother for it, so he ......."

"So you hit the idea on the ornaments in your own room?" Madame Hou sighed, "You were not careless in doing things, and you were discovered by your sister-in-law's people." You also know that your sister-in-law is bent on taking stewardship, and she even wants to use this matter as a handle to take away the stewardship from me. ”

Su Qingni said apologetically: "It's dragging my mother down." ”

Mrs. Hou patted the back of Su Qingni's hand and said, "Don't go to the pawnshop to make things in the future, don't let others find out, it's not good for the reputation of our Hou Mansion." How much money do you want, Mother gives you. ”

Su Qingni shook her head: "No, no need." ”

If it's only one or two thousand, it's okay to ask Mrs. Hou for it, but the amount she wants is really huge, and she is embarrassed to ask Mrs. Hou for money.

Mrs. Hou looked at him like this, and her heart sighed, it seems that the youngest son needs a lot of money, he is a son-in-law, and the Hou Mansion pays for food and clothing, and he will only spend it when he goes out, how can he need so much money?

"Qingyu, you won't go to the casino to gamble, you owe a lot of money, right?" asked Mrs. Hou.

Su Qingni hurriedly denied: "Mother, my son didn't go to the casino, if you don't believe it, you can ask my little girl." ”

Mrs. Hou asked again: "Then why do you want so much money? You have 10,000 taels of those three antiques." ”

This 10,000 taels is enough for the entire Hou Mansion to spend for a year.

Su Qingni thought about it and decided to tell what she was going to do. Mrs. Hou is the person who cares about herself the most, and if she doesn't tell her what to do, I'm afraid that Mrs. Hou will be worried.

"Mother, son want to build an entertainment place. ”

"Entertainment place?" Mrs. Hou had not heard of this word, and repeated suspiciously.

"It's a place to eat, drink and be merry. Su Qingni briefly told Mrs. Hou about his shooting direction, "The son plans to buy Tu Yu Mountain in the suburbs and build a hunting ground behind it for people to hunt and play; in the front mountain, the son plans to build a bathing center, a casino, and a song and dance theater; the son will also divide two areas, one area will establish a teahouse, a chess hall, a piano art hall, and a calligraphy and painting hall for literati and scholars to enter the door for recreation and leisure; and an area is dedicated to serving female guests, in which women can travel and play in the mountains and rivers, and can also maintain their skin in the beauty salon ......"

Mrs. Hou felt unfamiliar with many words in Su Qingni's mouth, but it did not prevent her from understanding how much benefit her son could get after such a place was built, money was one aspect, and the most important thing was connections.

Mrs. Hou straightened her face and said to Su Qingni: "Tell me carefully, what is the bathing center, the song and dance theater, and the beauty salon?"

"The bathing center is a place to take a bath, but it is not just a bath, I will arrange for the attendants to give the guests acupoint massage...... The Cabaret Theater is a place to watch singing, dancing, and singing...... A beauty salon is a place where you can take care of your skin. Mother, when the beauty salon is built, my son will let you experience it first, a beauty will make your skin whiter and softer, and you will be ten years younger all of a sudden. ”

"Really?" Mrs. Hou's eyes lit up when she heard the last sentence. No woman can resist the temptation to become younger.

Su Qingni nodded.

Mrs. Hou was confirmed to be interested in Su Qingni's entertainment park, mainly in the beauty salon.

"Qingyu, it will cost you a lot of money to build this entertainment park, at least one million, right?" Mrs. Hou said.

Su Qingni said: "My son asked people to make a plan, and it takes less than one million, and if you add materials manually, you can use seven or eight hundred thousand." And the son will not spend so much money at once, the son wants to build in stages, build a bathing center, a beauty salon and a song and dance theater in advance, open to the public, and then invest in the construction of the second phase of the project when he earns money. ”

"It's a good idea. Mrs. Hou nodded, "This preliminary construction requires more than 100,000 taels of silver, right? ”

"No, no. Su Qingni waved her hand and refused, "This entertainment park is a place built by my son for his own fun, how can I get my mother to pay for it?"

Mrs. Hou said: "You are my son, isn't it normal for me to spend money to build you a place to have fun?"

"But I've grown up......"

"No matter how old it is, it's my son. Mrs. Hou patted her son's hand and said, "And my private room in the future will be for you, and now it's just for you early." ”

"Mother......" Su Qingni made a teary-eyed look, but sighed in her heart. Mrs. Hou is really good to her younger son, but she is too partial, causing the eldest son and second son to feel uncomfortable with Mrs. Hou, coupled with the pillow wind of the two daughters-in-law, the two eldest sons are even more dissatisfied with Mrs. Hou and the younger son.

From the timeline of this world, Su Qingni saw that if she didn't arrive, the fate of the original owner and Mrs. Hou would not be very good. The Hou Ye died, and the eldest son inherited the Hou Mansion, and the stewardship was naturally taken over by the eldest daughter-in-law. After the eldest daughter-in-law took control of the Hou Mansion, she secretly attacked Mrs. Hou and the original owner. The eldest daughter-in-law sold the eldest maid next to Mrs. Hou, secretly replaced Mrs. Hou's private room with shoddy, and replaced most of it, and used the same food for Mrs. Hou's diet. Mrs. Hou died of decay after only three years. After her death, the eldest son drove the original owner out of the Hou Mansion regardless of brotherhood.
