Chapter 563: Private Room
The meaning of Mrs. Geng's words couldn't be clearer, although Lan Xi is the new daughter-in-law, but now she is the next hostess of the Jingbei Hou Mansion who has been canonized by the Holy Decree. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
No matter how Shen's heart turned upside down, Lan Xi really didn't know what else to feel at this time. There is surprise, maybe a little helplessness, she didn't expect to face the Shen family so soon, she really wants to be lazy. Qingping has Mother Xue in the house, and this Jingbei Hou Mansion, even if she really can't escape, it will be in the future, and she really doesn't have the slightest intention of interfering now. She still wants to be more leisurely, but now it seems that she can't tolerate it.
Seeing that there was no response, Mrs. Geng frowned and said, "Second child, what do you see?" But the conversation changed and asked directly to the head of Jingbei Hou.
"Mother was thoughtful. Sooner or later, this Hou Mansion will be handed over to Shiro and his daughter-in-law, so it's better to take care of it earlier. Jingbei Hou had a solemn face and responded seriously. Then he turned to Lanxi and said, "For so many years, Mrs. Hou has put the whole Hou Mansion in order, you are still young, you have to watch and learn more." ”
What else can Lan Xi say? Naturally, I can only respond obediently. "Yes."
In the end, the Marquis of Jingbei looked at Shen and said, "Shilang's daughter-in-law is a junior, you should be taught, if you don't do it right, it doesn't matter if you scold." But if she doesn't do well, she will be locked up in the face of the entire Hou Mansion in the future. ”
Shen's face was a little pale, as if he felt that this responsibility was too heavy, and his smile became a little reluctant, "Mrs. Shizi is a gift from the Holy Lord, and she comes from the Lan family, so naturally everything is good." Where can the concubine be taught? It's just that she has to work hard to help the concubine take care of these trivial things. ”
"Hmm." The Marquis of Jingbei responded, "Then from tomorrow, when you are on the council, you will take Shiro's daughter-in-law with you!" ”
"Yes." Shen pulled his lips open and responded with a smile.
Lan Xi also responded, "Yes!" Then, raising his head, he quietly glanced at Shen, who was half-hanging his head, but his face was very pale, and when he inadvertently glanced at Jingbei Hou, his eyes were full of grievances. Seeing this, Lan Xi's eyes flashed slightly, and he collected his emotions one by one in the depths of his eyes.
A meal, under the banner of celebrating Lanxi, was a pleasant meal. After the meal, the people of Dongfu returned to their own mansion, and the Marquis of Jingbei called his two sons to go to the outer courtyard to discuss matters, Lanxi naturally would not stay to hinder Shen's eyes, and returned to Qingping Ju with interest, giving others freedom and being at ease.
When everyone dispersed, Shen returned to his plum garden, and the depressed emotions were no longer manifested without scruples.
With a "bang", a group of celadon painted peach blossom tea sets on the kang table were swept to the ground and shattered cleanly. Behind her, Shen's mother stood with her hands tied, not persuading or making a sound, letting Shen vent, but there were only two of them in this house, and the rest of the girls were sent away by Shen's mother with great foresight before entering the house. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Shen family has no scruples.
"He is now more and more frank, and he doesn't even want to act. Sooner or later, this Hou Mansion will be handed over, and they will have it. Now he feels that this title and that evil seed are nine out of ten. ”
"Madame, don't be upset. Earlier, the position of the son of the world has fallen on that head, and the canonization of the lady of this world is a matter of time, as for the old lady and the marquis to let you take her to be a housekeeper, there is nothing, after all, the lady is teaching, she is just learning. Since she is still learning, she naturally can't let her have the final say. Mother Shen's tone was very flat, she naturally knew what her master was angry about, but in her opinion, being angry now, but, it was useless.
"I know what you say, I'm just angry." Shen's chest rose and fell sharply under the placket, but the anger on his face still subsided slightly.
"Madame, don't be impatient. Didn't you know our current situation earlier, and what Madame is planning is not overnight, you must calm down and wait for the opportunity. Mother Shen muttered, "Master Hou will return to Beiguan sooner or later, and the two of them are still young, and there is no foundation in this mansion, and then wait until the sixth grandmother enters the door, Mrs. and the sixth grandmother together, the sixth master's position as the son of the family is not yet captured?" ”
Shen Shi was like an initiation, and he reacted instantly, "Yes! Now the top priority is to handle Kai Ge'er's marriage as soon as possible, so that the seven girls can enter the door as soon as possible. At that time, she will have two daughters-in-law, there is no reason for one to participate in the housekeeping, and the other to be left aside, right? Even if it is the Marquis of Jingbei, there is only one son in this world, but in addition, two sons and two daughters-in-law, where a bowl of water can be leveled, it is naturally mediocre.
Mother Shen quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that Madam can figure it out." ”
Qingping was in the house, but she didn't know any of this, Lan Xi was dumbfounded at the box in front of her, "What are you doing here?" But she thought in her heart that she had moved to confiscate his private room, could it be that she accidentally said something in her sleep at night, and he heard it?
Geng Xiwu looked at Lan Xi's eyes rounded, a little cautious, and only felt so cute. With a slug in his throat, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, "I'm proving to my wife that I can afford to raise you!" ”
Lan Xi was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't cry or laugh, "What did I say?" ”
Geng Xiwu also smiled, "I'm afraid that Mrs. will think that I can't afford to support you, so everyone has to use their own private room." ”
Lan Xi listened, and was even more helpless, it turned out to be for this stubble. She has seen a lot of men's cautious eyes in the past few days, but he can make her feel that she still underestimates him every time.
Uncontrollably, he pulled the corners of his mouth, "You mean, just let me see?" ”
"I mean, my money bag will be in your hands from now on, and I can only use the money to ask for it."
A big man made a pitiful look, Lan Xi really didn't dare to think about how people outside would feel if they saw the appearance of the fourth master of the Geng family, who had always been upright and indifferent.
The corners of his mouth turned up again, Lan Xi's heart was full of warmth and sweetness, and he looked down and looked at the contents of the box seriously, "That's all?" Didn't secretly hide your money anymore? This was a pure joke, if he really wanted to hide his private room, there was no need to give this box to her.
But Geng Xiwu was surprised and said, "You found out?" I've hidden a lot of it! This time, he handed over an account book, "There will be Mrs. Lao in the future." ”
Lan Xi just turned the page, and suddenly felt a little headache, this is a lot of money, and a lot of money! She regrets it now and doesn't help him take care of his private house, can she succeed?
Who knows, Geng Xiwu seemed to understand her thoughts, and immediately said with a cautious face, "The owner of Jinxiuzhuang, you know the rules of this business, once the goods have been sold, they will not be returned!" ”
