Chapter 564: Division of Labor

Lan Xi couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to put away the thought that he really wanted to return the thing at that moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This time I took a serious look at the contents of the box. The box is not big, unlike Lanxi's makeup box, which is filled with all kinds of jewelry, and the bright and shining light alone can make your eyes hurt. Is there a gem in the box? Naturally, there is. But there are not many of them, and they are all rough stones, three pigeon's bloodstones, pure and uniform red, each of which is the size of a baby's fist. There is also a small box of diamond diamonds, each of which is about the same thickness as Geng Xiwu's thumb cover, and Lan Xi has counted it roughly, how can there be more than twenty of them.

The rest is just paper. House deeds, land deeds, silver tickets, the most valuable is naturally Baoyin Building, Lan Xi remembered the two pages of account books that he had just flipped through, and most of the money came from Baoyin Building. Speaking of Baoyinlou, Lan Xi's curiosity that had been held back in his heart for a long time came out again, feeling that today's flowers are full moon, and the time is human, but it is the right time to tell secrets, so his eyes moved, stretched out his index finger and gently poked someone's hard arm, and asked in a low voice, "I have always wanted to ask you, the owner of this Baoyinlou has always been very mysterious, why hasn't there been any rumor to say, this is your Geng family's industry?" ”

Geng Xiwu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "No one has heard of it, naturally because this is not the Geng family's industry at all!" ”

"Not from the Geng family?" Lan Xi frowned, she also felt strange at first, even if this Baoyin Building is the property of the Geng family, but the news is tightly sealed, but it shouldn't all fall into Geng Xiwu's hands, after all, it is true that the Marquis of Jingbei is not close to his father and son. Lan Xi also secretly guessed that he was afraid that Mrs. Geng quietly subsidized Geng Xiwu in private, and also thought that Mrs. Geng felt sorry for her grandson, and she was too generous. However, hearing him say this, this Baoyin Building has nothing to do with the Geng family, Lan Xi suddenly had an idea, "Could it be ......!" I've long heard that his biological mother has a rich dowry, isn't it?

Geng Xiwu nodded, "Yes! That's what my mother left me. ”

He has never called Shen's mother, so the mother in his mouth is naturally his biological mother. Lan Xi actually had a lot of doubts in her heart, she only knew that his biological mother died early, but whether he had a foreign family or not, and what his biological mother's background was, she didn't know at all. She had tried to investigate, but strangely, even Mrs. Lan didn't know anything, but I heard that Mrs. Lan had a relationship with the former Mrs. Jingbei Hou, who was an extremely beautiful and sparse woman, bright as the sun, but she didn't know anything about her family background, but I heard that it was the wife of the second master of the Geng family, who was not the Marquis of Jingbei at that time, but the origin of the whole capital was unknown. But looking at the woman's behavior and dowry, she also knew that she was definitely from a rich family. It has been more than 200 years since the founding of the dynasty in Daqing, but there are still many families who are beyond the court, and some people secretly guessed that the second lady of the Geng family was the daughter of an unborn family.

No one stopped being curious, but no one dared to inquire blatantly.

And until her death, the mystery of her life story remained a mystery.

For a moment, Lan Xi almost couldn't help but ask, but when he raised his eyes and looked at Geng Xiwu's side face that sank into his thoughts, those ancient water without waves, Lan Xi seemed to see the undercurrent from the calm surface, and he still couldn't ask after all. She thought, there are some secrets, and there must be a reason for its existence!

There was nothing to say all night, maybe there were too many things this day, Lanxi was indeed a little tired, even if it was already Meimei who had a nap at night, she still slept very sweetly this night. I'm afraid it's because she slept too sweetly, so she didn't know when Geng Xiwu got up. When she woke up, she was the only one in bed.

After freshening up and having breakfast, Lan Xi thought, since the Marquis of Jingbei personally spoke yesterday, no matter what Shen thought, she had to go through the motions, and she had to have a correct attitude before, so that her father-in-law, who was still unable to see clearly and reality, couldn't pick out the thorns. Therefore, Lan Xi took Fangcao and Liuyan and went to the plum garden to greet the Shen family.

Xu came early today, and when Lanxi arrived, Geng Xikai and Geng Xiruo were there.

For a while, Lanxi asked Shen to say goodbye, and the two younger ones gave her sister-in-law a salute, and after a while, the family sat down affectionately.

"You still have to go to the master, right? Mother, it's okay here, you can go busily! After a while, when you become a parent, you will have less time to practice your fists and feet. These words were said to her own son, a motherly attitude, but it made Lan Xi sigh, this Shen is just an ordinary mother after all!

It's just that...... I happened to hear Geng Xiwu mention it once, his half-brother can be regarded as an outlier of their Geng family, just like her sixth brother is an outlier of their family, born in a family of military generals and nobles, but he is a scholar who can read, and he also likes to read, although he is only seventeen years old now, he is already a lifter. It's just that I heard that Shen didn't like him to study very much. Now that I have found a master to learn boxing and kicking?

Lan Xi still couldn't figure out why Shen did this, but after thinking about it again, he suddenly understood something.

pulled the corners of his mouth, and when he glanced at Geng Xikai again, he felt that this was also a pitiful. Just raised his eyes, he saw that Geng Xikai's face was a little strange, he opened his mouth, and when he looked at the Shen family, he seemed to have something to say, but in the end, he glanced at Lan Xi and Geng Xiruo on the side, and swallowed the words back, it seems that he is afraid of them as outsiders, and it is difficult to speak!

"Mother, then I'll go first." As he spoke, Geng Xikai had already stood up, arched his hand towards the Shen family, and then arched his hand towards Lan Xi, and turned around and left with a somewhat uncomfortable face.

Lan Xi could find Geng Xikai's strange expression, and Shen's mother could naturally find it, and she even noticed Lan Xi's inquiring gaze on Geng Xikai, so she couldn't help but smile and said, "This kid is shallow, and when it comes to marriage, he is actually shy." This house is full of his own family, is it possible that he will still make fun of him? ”

Lan Xi didn't look shy. However, she smiled cooperatively, "The sixth brother is a little shy, but he is a good match for the future sixth brother and sister." Shen Yanshu was about to enter the door, and Lan Xi was really not happy.

These words were just a whitewash of the peace, Lan Xi was able to cooperate so wisely, Shen nodded, quite satisfied, "Speaking of Kai Ge'er's marriage, it was temporarily shelved because I wanted to handle the affairs of you and Shiro earlier, and now that you have entered the door, it is time to handle it." It's just that I'm already in charge of the trivial affairs of this mansion, and I'm still worried that I can't let go of my hands, but yesterday the old lady showed me a clear way. I hope you can share a share of it for me! Come to think of it, when you were at home, you helped your mother handle your brother's marriage, and I can rest assured that you are experienced. ”。
