Chapter 113: Questioning
"What's wrong?" Master Xu Si also noticed that Steward Yun's expression was a little wrong, and asked, "Do you also think that a Buddhist event is not enough?" It's just that the Shen family did a Buddhist thing on the day of death before, and now it's not good to make a fuss. ”
Steward Yun couldn't help but laugh: "Master, do you know how much money we still have in our account?" ”
"Aren't you in charge of the accounts, I know what this does!" Speaking of this, Master Xu Si was stunned, his expression was a little subtle, "I have no money in my account?" ”
Master Xu Si's expression revealed a kind of unbelievable surprise: "How can I have no money in my account?" Didn't you come back with three thousand taels of silver tickets last time? ”
Steward Yun frowned and said, "The three thousand taels last time, didn't you buy calligraphy and paintings for the fourth master?" ”
Master Xu Si waved his hand and said, "It's okay, since there is no money in the account, it's better to go to any shop to pay a little." ”
Steward Yun cautiously glanced at Master Xu Si: "Wasn't the shop sold by the master?" ”
Master Xu Si was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I forgot...... This season must have passed the autumn harvest, right? If you go and collect the rent in the Zhuangzi, you won't be able to take out even one or two thousand. ”
Steward Yun gritted his teeth: "Zhuangzi was also sold by the master a few days ago, with the shop." ”
Master Xu Si was stunned, and then he understood what the housekeeper meant by saying that he had no money. Although the Xu family is not a big family, for Xu Tingyuan, he has never been short in terms of money. When both the shop and the Zhuangzi were sold, Master Xu Si didn't have any obvious feelings, and he couldn't even afford to do a Buddhist thing at this moment. Only then did he realize that he was already poor.
Steward Yun cautiously asked Master Xu Si: "Master, what about the money from selling shops and Zhuangzi?" ”
Steward Yun is a smart person, and Master Xu Si is quite relieved of him. So he didn't think about it and said, "It's for Jin'er and Burning." ”
"It's all divided?" Steward Cloud's eyes widened.
Master Xu Si frowned and nodded, he didn't look at the changing expression of Steward Yun at all, his face was a little reluctant and difficult to choose, and finally gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "The pair of jade cabbage pen holders at the head of the desk in my study, and the pair of white porcelain fine-necked bottles engraved with flowers and birds in front of the window, you take them!" ”
Steward Yun couldn't help but say, "Didn't the master like that pair of pen holders and those bottles very much?" ”
Master Xu Si gritted his teeth: "It's done!" ”
"But...... It's not enough to be a pawn! "The cloud manager has the final say. A maximum of 200 taels of silver is used to do a Buddhist service, but the sesame oil money must be given at least 500 taels or more, plus 1,000 taels for Mr. Ye. At least 1,700 taels are needed, and the pair of pen holders and bottles are very good, but when a thousand taels of silver is already at most, "unless it is dead." ”
Master Xu Si's expression was a little dazed: "What is death?" ”
Master Xu Si, who is never short of money, can know that the pawnshop is already very good. Wait for the cloud steward to explain what death is. Master Xu Si sighed and said, "If you die, you should die!" "He didn't intend to redeem it again.
Steward Yun waited for a while and didn't see that Master Xu Si had any intention of repenting, so he had to nod his head. In addition to these two things, Master Xu Si has nothing else to do, and when Steward Yun saw that there was no trace of annoyance on Master Xu's face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder everyone said that the fourth master was a fairy-like character, and he was so indifferent when he heard that he had no money, and it was estimated that there would be no such masters in the entire Xijing City.
Wait for the cloud steward to step down. Master Xu Si still looked happy, even if he was penniless, it couldn't affect his good mood at the moment.
The burning throat is healed!
Early in the morning of the second day, the cloud manager went out of the door. Near noon, Mr. Xu Si visited Ye Lin with silver, it is said that Mrs. Ye has been in better health in the past two days, and the happy Mr. Xu Si happened to meet Ye Lin, who was in a good mood, and the two opened a jar of good green snow brew, and the jade cup you come and I go to the guests and hosts to enjoy themselves.
When Xu Qirong heard this rumor, he was puzzled by Ye Lin's attitude, and Mrs. Guo sent someone to Fengbo Building.
The little maid is not the one last time, she is very timid, and she doesn't know what rumors she heard, she didn't dare to turn her eyes when she stood in the stormy building, and it was easy to make her words clear without stumbling: "I heard that the fifth lady won the flower and fruit competition yesterday, and the ancestor was very happy, so he specially asked the kitchen to make a roast goose, and asked the maid to inform the fifth lady that she would have dinner in Lin'an Hall at noon today." ”
Xu Qirong didn't understand what it had to do with making a roast goose and letting her go over to eat, in the past three years, with Princess Pingtai, Xu Qirong's taste has changed, and he no longer likes to eat those fatty meat dishes.
He asked, "Am I alone?" Or do other sisters and sisters go too? ”
The little maid trembled: "There is also a second miss." ”
Just her and her sister? Xu Qirong was very surprised in her heart, since Princess Pingtai came out of the Buddha Hall, Mrs. Guo has alienated their sisters, she just slapped the face of the five county lords who had a good relationship with Sister Yun yesterday, Mrs. Guo kindly invited their sisters to come over for dinner at this time?
Xu Qirong made a look, and immediately left, and the little maid comprehended it, and quietly withdrew to find Mama Gui.
Xu Qirong and Xu Qijin went to Lin'an Hall in the end.
Xu Qirong thought that Mrs. Guo would at least go around in circles with their sisters for a while, but who knew that Mrs. Guo would go straight to the point when she opened her mouth.
Mrs. Guo's face was very ugly, and she seemed to be in a hurry. Thanks to her, she was able to calm down and let the maid use the excuse of eating to deceive people from Fengbo Building and Fenghe Courtyard.
As soon as Xu Qirong and Xu Qijin entered the house, they didn't even have time to say a word of greeting, when they heard Mrs. Guo ask: "The fourth child has divided all the family property to your sisters?" ”
Knowing what Mrs. Guo was doing this, Xu Qirong breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qijin reacted very quickly, sighed, and asked rhetorically: "Where did Uncle and Grandmother hear this gossip?" My sister and I are both daughters, my father is young, and one day there will be an heir, and the four-room family property will not be divided between our sisters. ”
Old Mrs. Guo's expression became more and more ugly, and she snorted with a cold face: "Are you still deceiving me at this time?" The fourth child sold all the shops and Zhuangzi, do you think you can hide it from me? ”
Xu Qirong said with a smile: "Daddy didn't give the family property to me and my sister, and sold Zhuangzi and shops, so naturally there is a reason for Daddy." ”
When Mrs. Guo heard her say this, her tone softened a little, and asked, "So the fourth child really didn't give the family property to your sisters?" But this morning, the cloud steward went to the pawnshop to pawn the pen holder and the antique bottle, what happened? What about the money from the sale of the Zhuangzi and the shop? Don't say you sisters don't know! ”
Because she had already known about the Huaguo competition, Mrs. Guo was not surprised that Xu Qirong spoke at this time, she had more important things to understand.
Xu Qirong was stunned, when something?
With Master Xu's temperament, he wanted to thank Ye Linxuan for not waiting until it was almost noon to go, could it be that the silver money given to Doctor Ye was taken back from the pawnshop by Steward Yun? Therefore, my father gave the money to her and her sister, and he didn't keep it at all.
Xu Qirong's nose was a little sour, but Mrs. Guo was still asking over and over again about the whereabouts of the money that sold Zhuangzi and the shop.
Xu Qirong sneered in his heart and said, "The money is naturally in the hands of my sister and me, and my father said that it was pocket money for our sisters." ”
"Hundreds of thousands of pocket money?" Mrs. Guo was shocked and angry, and the teacup in her hand slapped on the ground, "And said that the fourth child didn't give you the family property?" It is worthy of being born of a merchant girl, and her clever words make her clever tongue. ”
Xu Qirong pinched the hand of her sister who was about to speak, and was not afraid of the angry Mrs. Guo, but took a step forward and said with a smile: "Uncle and grandmother are not right, this is naturally not a division of family property, my sister and I are both women, and it is not our sisters' turn to divide the family property, not to mention that my father is in his prime." Besides, my grandmother is still here, and my father really plans to divide the family property, so naturally I have to ask my grandmother's consent first. Although the Xu family has long been separated, everyone lives together, and they eat together during the festival, and the family property is really divided, I think my father will definitely inform my uncle and grandmother. ”
Back then, Xu Jinyan followed the current saint to "rebel" together, and the old lady Xu Changfang divided the family for his two sons early. Later, Xu Jinyan died, and Princess Pingtai never thought that she would move out one day before she moved into the Buddhist hall, and she was worried that the two sons would be divided into two sons early because of the discord in the clan for a little property.
Master Xu Si really wants to divide the family property, not to mention that it has nothing to do with Xu Jinxing's lineage, even if it has nothing to do with his compatriot brother Xu Tingjin's room.
The meaning of Xu Qirong's words is self-evident.
Her grandmother, her father's mother-in-law, and her father-in-law's mother-in-law haven't said anything yet, so it can't be Mrs. Guo's turn to take care of her nephew's property.
Mrs. Guo's face was red and white for a while when she said this, Xu Qijin didn't expect her sister to be able to say it so well, she was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything in the end, and expressed her approval of her sister's words with silence.
Sisters, the position always has to stand together.
"You...... Well, you're so good! Mrs. Guo stood up tremblingly, and she didn't know if she was angry or really because she was old, "That's how Chen taught you?" There is no respect for the elders! ”
The words have already been said before, and there is no need to pretend to be well-behaved at this moment, Xu Qirong sneered, Xu Qiyun did everything possible to please Mrs. Guo, her uncle and grandmother, she didn't believe that Xu Qiyun instigated the fifth princess to trouble her, and Mrs. Guo didn't know at all!
Xu Qirong said with a smile: "I can't blame my grandmother, the Xu family has always been like this." A brother and daughter-in-law can say that the sister-in-law is not, the little lady is young and ignorant, and to tell the truth, it is not a big deal to poke someone's heart. ”
"She didn't do it to me, why can't she say it......" Mrs. Guo became more and more angry, and her voice became higher and higher.
"Uncle Grandmother!" Xu Qijin suddenly interrupted Mrs. Guo's next words with a loud shout, and said, "Even if there is no fiefdom and the name of the princess is there, it is still the heavenly family." Uncle and grandmother are so open-mouthed, do you think the Xu family is too comfortable to live? (To be continued......)
