Chapter 114: Plucking the Phoenix
If Xu Qirong said this, Mrs. Guo might still be angry, but Xu Qijin said it.
First, Xu Qijin's outside shop has been doing better and better in the past two years, and everyone naturally has more respect for Xu Qijin, and Mrs. Guo is no exception; Second, Xu Qijin is the only companion of the lord of Yuwang Mansion, although Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong are sisters, they are already different in terms of identity.
Therefore, as soon as Xu Qijin's words came out, Mrs. Guo's face changed, and finally she had to say three words hatefully.
Seeing that Mrs. Guo no longer had the intention of leaving the two sisters to eat, Xu Qijin took Xu Qirong's hand and walked out of Lin'an Hall, fortunately, the small kitchen of Fenghe Courtyard was still there, and when she went back at this time, she would not have no lunch to eat.
Xu Qirong had a worried face, and followed Xu Qijin obediently.
Xu Qijin thought that she was afraid at this time because she had just contradicted her uncle and grandmother, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, and comforted: "Sister don't be afraid, there is a sister in everything!" Besides, the things in our room are naturally up to my father, and if you live in a yard with your grandmother now, your grandmother will always protect you. β
Xu Qirong shook her head, she didn't worry about this, she thought about it, and asked Xu Qijin seriously: "Daddy let Steward Yun go to the pawnshop today?" β
Xu Qijin remembered Mrs. Guo's words, and nodded affirmatively: "Daddy asked Steward Yun to go to the pawnshop." β
Xu Qirong had some panic in his eyes, which made Xu Qijin feel a little surprised, and said: "Don't worry, Daddy must have been too excited for a while, and gave us all the silver tickets." I forgot to keep it for myself. Later, we will quietly go to Daddy, and we will say that we are not at ease with so many silver tickets in our hands, so we should return them and let Daddy help us keep them. β
Xu Qijin smiled and joked to Xu Qirong: "It's scorching." I know that I feel sorry for my father. We're not going to let Daddy be poor enough to continue to be a thing! β
Xu Qijin shook his head, the panic in his eyes did not weaken in the slightest, and he said very strictly: "Sister, why did you say that Daddy gave us these silver tickets?" β
Xu Qijin was stunned, she didn't think about this question. It's just that although Master Xu Si seems to be gentle, his temperament is still stubborn sometimes. Sometimes it's not impossible to do something earth-shattering because of a touch. At the beginning, Master Xu Si was because he heard someone say that there was a little lady in the Shen family who was born with a small mouth, and when she was young, she once compared with a handkerchief and ate wine and stuffed balls, and the handkerchief was handed over and ate a bowl. The little lady of the Shen family only ate half a bowl, and she was so anxious that she cried. Turning his head, Master Xu Si asked the matchmaker to go to Yangzhou to propose.
Therefore, although Xu Qijin couldn't figure out the reason why Master Xu Si suddenly sold the shop and Zhuangzi distributed the money to their sisters, he didn't delve into it. It was only when Master Xu Si encountered something again that he was touched.
At this time, Xu Qirong asked. Xu Qijin smiled, it was not good to tell his sister about his father's original rhyme, and only comforted: "What are you afraid of, Daddy will never harm us." β
If Xu Qijin said this before, Xu Qirong would not believe it, but since her rebirth, the more she looks at it coldly, the more she feels that Master Xu is really good to their sisters. Thinking about it carefully, it was not all the responsibility of Master Xu Si to break off the relationship between father and daughter in his previous life. Master Xu Si is good. Every bit of it was stored in her heart. In addition, today, Xu Si took the money to thank Ye Lin for his beloved pen holder and bottle, and when Xu Qijin said this, she could not have the slightest objection in her heart.
Xu Qirong was anxious in his heart, but at this time, he was still in Lin'an Hall, and there were people from Mrs. Guo everywhere, and if he had more, Xu Qirong could only swallow it back.
Speeding up all the way, entering Fenghe Courtyard, and waiting for Xu Qijin to order Yu Qiu to arrange lunch, Xu Qirong hurriedly pulled Xu Qirong into the inner room, and retreated from the maid.
Xu Qijin sighed: "What do you have to tell my sister?" "Xu Qijin knows his sister in the end, how can he not see that Xu Qirong has something in his heart.
At this time, Fengheyuan was no longer as full of other people's eyeliner as Xu Qirong was when he was first reborn, Xu Qirong paused, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said to Xu Qijin: "Sister didn't see anything wrong with Daddy?" β
Xu Qijin thought for a while and said, "Daddy wants us to be happy!" β
Xu Qirong shook his head: "Uncle and grandmother said that this morning, Steward Yun went to the pawnshop to wash pens and antique bottles, and the brushes and bottles in Daddy's study are one-to-one, and Steward Yun goes alone, too many things can't be taken, but a pair of pen holders and a pair of antique bottles can be used as a few hundred taels of silver at most." β
Although Xu Qijin often looks at the account books that Uncle Gao brought, he really doesn't know anything about the pawnshop. β
Xu Qirong continued: "Daddy sent a thousand taels of silver tickets to Doctor Ye to express his gratitude, and in a few days he will ask the monks of the White Horse Temple to do a Buddhist event, the Buddha is different from the Dharma event, a Buddhist event costs at least a few hundred taels of silver, and after the Buddha event, he has to offer sesame oil to the temple, and it is a few hundred taels of silver, so it is at least two thousand taels of silver to be enough." β
Xu Qijin nodded and said, "Zhuozhuo is worried that Daddy's silver is not enough?" β
Xu Qirong shook his head: "Daddy doesn't understand this, so the cloud manager will naturally tell Daddy the same." Come to think of it, the money and sesame oil money for doing Buddhist things are ready. If Daddy could think of leaving a silver ticket for himself, he would naturally not only keep a few hundred taels. β
Xu Qijin made a mistake this time, and Xu Qirong said even more confused: "Daddy has no money in his hand, and he only used a few hundred taels of silver as a thing, but he gave Doctor Ye a thousand taels, and he has money and sesame oil money for doing Buddhist things in his hand...... Scorching, how is this account wrong? β
"That's right." Xu Qirong bit his lip, "That pen holder and bottle, Daddy is only afraid that Yun Guan will die!" β
"What is death?" Compared with Master Xu Si, Xu Qijin didn't know what was going on with death.
After Xu Qirong finished explaining the death dang, Xu Qijin first cared about why Xu Si Master wanted to kill things, but asked: "Zhuozhuo, honestly Sister SΓΉ, why do you know so many rules of the pawnshop?" β
Xu Qirong is young, dumb for three years, basically has no contact with the outside world, and the people he knows are not people who can enter the pawnshop, so naturally he shouldn't know about death.
Xu Qijin was a little worried that her sister was damaged by an eyeless subordinate when she didn't know.
"Naturally, I saw it from the script." Xu Qirong said perfunctorily and expressed his worries, "Those things that Daddy collects, whether they are worth or not, should be things that Daddy likes." If something wasn't going on, why would Daddy take things to death? Our family is not the kind of person who can't take out the money to redeem things after eating the last meal and not the next meal! β
Xu Qirong reminded him like this, and Xu Qijin also reacted to the strictness of the matter, but there was still a trace of luck: "Or maybe this pair of pen holders and bottles is not something that Daddy likes?" β
Xu Qirong looked at Xu Qijin, although he felt that the possibility of this guess was very small, but he was still willing to coax himself with you Xu Qijin, and couldn't help but say: "In this case, after lunch, my sister and I will go to talk to my father?" β
Knowing that Master Xu Si had killed his things, Xu Qijin was also a little panicked, but she was a sister after all, and she couldn't wait to be a sister to comfort her, so she smiled and said, "Well, listen to the scorching one, after lunch, let's go talk to my father." β
This lunch, the two sisters naturally did not eat well.
I had already asked the maid to inquire, and after Mr. Xu Si drank with Ye Lin, he went back to the study and did not go out. The two sisters walked hand in hand to Pingqiu Courtyard.
When I met Shen An's family on the road, I learned that Master Xu Si had just been called by the second old lady.
Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong glanced at each other, and already understood in their hearts that the second old lady was looking for her father at this time, and naturally she wanted to ask about the "division of family property" in the fourth room.
Shen An's family also knew that Miss Five's throat had been cured, and he was so happy that he said that he would make something delicious to celebrate Miss Five, and ask Miss Five to appreciate her face. Where is Xu Qirong in the mood to celebrate something at this moment, she is worried about it. Fortunately, Qiu Nong saw that his girl was not very interested, and he was busy persuading his mother in a few words.
As soon as he left Pingqiu Courtyard, he saw Green Dye asking all the way to find him, and when he asked, he learned that Princess Pingtai was going to see their sisters.
Xu Qirong and Xu Qijin were a little unsure, whether Princess Pingtai was just called by her uncle and grandmother, or because her father let people enter the pawnshop today to see them. However, my grandmother had to go because of the call. Although Green Dye followed Xu Qirong, in the end it was Princess Pingtai's person, so they had to inquire about some inside information, not to mention that Green Dye didn't know, but Green Dye knew, as long as Princess Pingtai didn't want to say it, they couldn't find out.
When I saw Princess Pingtai, Princess Pingtai's face was not very good, and she was a little haggard.
Although she doesn't dress up much on weekdays, Princess Pingtai still pays great attention to maintenance, and she has a lot of secret recipes in the palace in her hands, such a haggard appearance, Xu Qirong has never seen it, and she can't help but be a little surprised.
Seeing the two sisters coming, Princess Pingtai actually smiled reluctantly, and then said, "I heard that the Guo family came to you just now, and I didn't embarrass your sisters!" β
Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong glanced at each other and shook their heads.
Princess Pingtai sighed: "You are all like this, don't tell me as an elder anything, your father is, and so are your sisters." Grandmother still has some means, you hide it from me, and when one day grandmother becomes a plucking phoenix, you want grandmother to help, grandmother can't do anything. β
Xu Qirong and Xu Qijin were stimulated by the four words "plucking phoenix", with the temperament of Princess Pingtai, they would never describe themselves like this for no reason, obviously stimulated by something.
Then I thought of what Princess Pingtai said, "Your father is", and I couldn't help but feel panicked, could it be that my father really encountered something? (To be continued......)
