Chapter 19: Long Hair and Waist, Ten Miles of Red Makeup (3)
Ye Xun drank tea while looking at the account books on the table. From time to time, his eyes swept over his wife, Xu.
After a long time, Xu was aware of it. I had to put down the booklet in my hand and look up at him.
Ye Xun looked at his wife's puzzled and dissatisfied eyes, so he had to show a big smile.
Xu's ......
I couldn't help but give him a blank look!
It's so silly to laugh at!
''Ahem, ahem!'' Well, I have an idea for you! Something about Jin'er's dowry!"
Ye Xun knew that he couldn't ink anymore, so he hurriedly spoke. Otherwise, she should be unhappy again!
Xu Shi listened, and his eyes narrowed.
Ye Xun hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that! It's just -- I've heard Lord Liu talk about some of the situation in Beicheng these days, and I wonder if your dowry may not be very suitable?!"
Is the last sentence a temptation, a tactful flattery?
Xu sneered.
Ye Xun had no choice but to clear his throat and give Xu a detailed explanation of the cause and effect:
Although Beicheng has the wealth of the rich family, it is rich in local resources--- thousands of acres of mountains and forests, not only rich in prey, food, fur, wood, charcoal, mountain ginseng, deer antler, and even minerals and jade are also extremely abundant. The land is fertile and the grain is also very high---- so the people here do not have to worry about food and clothing.
Living there, people are very indifferent to fame and fortune. It is also for this reason that there is no worship of literature, only martial arts. In the huge northern city, there are very few people who can even read and write, let alone anything else.
Only the Yang family's lineage is in charge of many affairs in a city that they can read and write. But the northern city is becoming more and more prosperous, if it is a long-term plan, it is better to have a lot of talents in the city. The Yang family also hired a husband and a son and opened a school, but no one cared about it!
Since the head of the Yang family of the previous generation, he began to ask to marry a woman from a scholarly family as his mother, in order to influence and improve the situation.
"So, I think, the dowry you prepared should not be these yellow and white things like the Zhu Hai Bao Ring, but should be a capable person who can help the Yang family improve the difficulties of a city!"
Ye Xun's mouth was foaming, and the head of the analysis was Dao, and he felt that he had guessed the heart of the Yang family!
Although what he said made some sense, Xu couldn't help but be angry. What do you mean that all she prepares are yellow and white vulgar things?! Without these mundane things, he can live so comfortably?!
Isn't that capable person to be recruited by this yellow and white vulgar thing?
It's really a scholar who doesn't know the cost of firewood and rice!
But now is not the time to argue with him, Xu Shi drank tea and listened to him continue.
''What do you think of the recruitment of talents?'' There are three hundred and sixty lines in the world, and there are good hands in all walks of life, so we paid a lot of money to buy some back and give them to Jin'er as a dowry!"
''Not good,'' Xu put down the teacup and couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ye Xun's staring eyes. ''The idea of choosing some skilled servants is fine. But the people recruited outside, I don't know the details, who dares to bring Jin'er to Beicheng to use?! If someone makes a fuss, won't the gains outweigh the losses?"
Ye Xun thought about it. But how is it that there are not enough people to raise at home?! I was frustrated for a while.
Xu didn't have any good ideas for a while.
''I'll tell you something.'' The Xu family sipped the tea slowly, "Tomorrow, the Li family in the west of the city will come to propose." I'm going to respond, and I'll do it for her first when spring starts next year. The dowry was taken care of together, and everything was done according to the rules, and besides,' she paused, glanced out the window, and sighed, ''Besides, the man had left some things for her, and they were all given to her. ‘’
After not hearing a response for a long time, Xu turned his head to look at him.
Ye Xun's eyes were staring at her, flashing with remorse, guilt and distress.
Ye Xun got up and walked over and sat down next to her. He clenched her hand, his eyes still on her.
''Aqin, the events of the year have passed, forget about it!'' You've done enough for so many years, and that person doesn't deserve your sorrow! As for Yin Yin, she has been raised by your side since she was a child, so she should follow the rules, and she doesn't have to touch the things outside!''
The calm words reveal the coldness and hardness that ordinary people can't understand!
That person was just an insignificant little scar, and she shouldn't have been saddened!
It was he who didn't protect her!
Xu Shi understood the distress and guilt in his eyes, and slowly put his other hand on the hand where the two intersected.
She had also resented him! resents that he is simple-minded, and inexplicably falls into other people's ways and enters other people's conspiracy!
I also thought that he was willing to do it half-pushing!
But after all, the truth made her believe him!
He hated it at the time, right?! Hate her for distrust and suspicion!
But no matter how crazy she is, he is conniving, even risking his own life to protect her!
Xu Shi closed his eyes fiercely.
When he looked at Ye Xun again, he had already regained clarity and warmth.
It's all in the past!
People always have to look ahead!
Now, their family is really going to be happy.
Ye Xun saw that his wife happily flipped through the account book again, and then slowly soothed his tightened brows.
Truly! The choice of servants in the house is not to be sloppy!
He's got to think about it!
