Guan Zhuofan counted the days. The general soldier Yuchang gave a total of fifteen days, and it took three days on the way back to Beijing, and when he returned, even if he galloped with a horse team, it would take two days, and another day's surplus, which would remove six days. The remaining nine days, as of today, are the sixth day, and there are some things that should be done.

Let's take a plate with Bai's first. When Túrin returned, he paid his wife the 1,100 taels of silver he had deposited; Libin sent six thousand taels; Zhuangzi of Tongzhou, in addition to sending a supply of goods, also paid 250 taels of silver; and the exchange of New Year's gifts during the New Year, there is a balance of more than 100 taels; Coupled with the original two thousand silver in Bai's hand, a total of nine thousand five hundred taels, and after removing the family's expenses during this period, the net income was nine thousand three hundred taels of silver.

Nine thousand three hundred taels, that's also considerable. I thought that when I entered Beijing from the military camp in Dingfuzhuang, I only had an ingot of twenty taels of silver sent by Alhatu and Lao Cai, and it was only half a year, and the situation was very different. Guan Zhuofan sighed in his heart, and at the same time discussed with the Bai family, listing the places where the money would be used one by one.

In the Shengbao Mansion, the Baojun Mansion, and the Zhaoxiang Mansion in the Fang Jiayuan, three heavier gifts should be given, according to the standard of four hundred taels of silver. The first two families only gave gifts, and the latter family gave half gifts and half cash, in order to take care of the actual needs of the "Fang Jiayuan".

Then there is the second sister-in-law's family. Now the second brother Zhuoren is still in prison, leaving her with a child, and it seems that she should also take care of it.

"You gave her a hundred taels of silver last time, and I asked Tuber to go there twice in the middle, and she has nothing to do in her house. Those who want to pay the account, knowing that it is the brother and sister-in-law of 'Chengnan Guan San', don't even dare to open the door now. The Bai family has always been a little overwhelmed by such a large amount of silver taels, and now when it comes to Zhuo Ren's daughter-in-law, the reason is clear, "She has nothing else, she just wants Zhuo Ren to be released sooner...... " She looked at Guan Zhuofan's face and whispered: "Zhuo Fan, of course you have the final say in this matter, but I think your second sister-in-law is also strange and pitiful." ”

"Shuangshuang, if you want to talk about your heart, it is naturally haode......" Guan Zhuofan smiled and shook his head, "It's just that this is called a woman's kindness, what I said before was forgotten so quickly." Zhuo Ren can't come out now, and he has to be closed for another half a year before he can turn his temperament around. ”

There was another thing in his heart that he had never said. The next few months will be the most critical period for himself, his future and destiny are in it, he has no extra energy to deal with other chores, and he doesn't want Zhuo Ren to cause any trouble for himself after he comes out.

Bai Shi nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Then send something to her house?" ”

"That's fine, you can let Tuber do it. I also told Tulin to go to Sanlitun to find Lao Hao in charge of the prison again, and he would not let Zhuoren suffer any losses. Guan Zhuofan knew that the Bai family had always been uneasy about putting Zhuo Ren in prison, so he didn't want to go against her, not to mention that he had another thing to ask her.

"By the way, there is another matter," Guan Zhuofan pretended to remember suddenly, "The daughter-in-law of the Ma Eqi family is not having a good time......

"yes, it's time for you to go see her." Bai's face was a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Guan Zhuofan looked at the expression on her face, as if he knew something, and he panicked, and he couldn't speak.

"She's alone with a child...... Ahem...... The official house where you live...... Ahem...... Ahem......"

"Zhuo Fan, you tell me the truth," Bai looked at him very calmly, "Did you bully others?" ”

"You...... How do you know? Guan Zhuofan was embarrassed. With his thick skin, it is a rare thing to make a fuss with a flushed face. And as soon as this sentence is said, it means that everything is not self-confessing.

"You originally ran to Lao Ma's house when you saw the sky, and when the Ming family came to our house, the eyes looked at you wrong." Bai lowered his head, looked at the ground, and said faintly, "And when you came back from Zhoujiafang last time, the whole person was depressed." You men don't pay attention to these things, but we women's families can see it. ”

Guan Zhuofan's face was red, and he couldn't speak, thinking to himself, what happened ahead can't be counted on me.

"Speaking of which, you didn't do this properly," Bai Shi still stared at the ground, "but I was not qualified to say this." Now that things are like this, of course, you can't ignore people, I want to ask, what are your plans? ”

"Shuangshuang, I...... I have a little idea to ask for your advice," said Guan Zhuofan, "and their orphans and widows live outside, and they really don't have anyone to take care of. I wondered, isn't that row of rooms in our main courtyard still empty? It's better to let her move in, there is usually someone to talk to you, and Xiao Yun also has multiple people to play with......"

Bai Shi raised his head, his eyes clear and bright, and stared at him.

"Hey, hey, don't be angry, let's discuss...... Let's discuss ......" Guan Zhuofan was exposed to her shortcomings, and he couldn't help but whisper when he spoke.

"I'm not a jealous woman, yujian, you are such an enemy, it is about my life, and it is also the life of the Ming family." Bai Shi shook his head, but still said resolutely: "It's just this matter, you can't do this." ”

"Yes, yes." If you can't do that, what can you do? Guan Zhuofan looked at her face while accompanying her smiling face.

"In the wing room in the main courtyard, there are mothers and maids, you let the Ming family live there, do you plan to use her as a slave?" Bai looked at Guan Zhuofan reproachfully, "You bullied others, now you want to be good to others, but if this is arranged, even if she doesn't say it, what should she think in her heart?" ”

"Then ......" Bai's words were reasonable, and Guan Zhuofan was speechless.

"The inverted house in the inner courtyard is also a big house, and tomorrow I will let Xiaofu and Xiaoyun go in to live." Bai Shi said categorically, "You go to Ming's and let her live in the East Wing, and our sisters will be companions in the future." ”

The inverted house that Bai Shi mentioned was a few houses against the courtyard gate of the inner courtyard, facing the main house where she lived. She had repeatedly thought that if she let the Ming family live outside, with an amorous seed like Guan Zhuofan, most of them would not be able to let go, it would be equivalent to letting him buy an outer house. Things outside are not like at home, they must not be kept secret, and once it spreads, he can't afford this reputation. And it's far away, and you can't manage it yourself, and if something happens, it's even more troublesome.

On the other hand, Guan Zhuofan's words also touched her. She has always known the Ming family, and has always felt that the Ming family is good, and when Guan Zhuofan is not there in the future, if there is anything, you can discuss it with many people, and when you are lonely, there is also someone to talk about, and it is much easier to solve the long night, and Xiao Yun can also have multiple playmates, which are all real benefits.

"This ......" Guan Zhuofan was speechless again, but this time he was excited - this Shuangshuang, not to mention the appearance of the flower and the moon, is still so "deeply aware of the righteousness", what more can a husband ask for? God treats me well!

"Shuangshuang, you've treated me too well." Guan Zhuofan took Bai's hand and kissed her on the hand: "Don't worry, I asked her to come, but there is nothing else." ”

"You don't have to talk to me here," Bai blushed from his remark, "It's interesting or not, you know for yourself." Anyway, let me make it clear to you, the inner courtyard is full, and there is no room for the third sister-in-law. ”

Guan Zhuofan knew that this was Bai's warning to himself, and he should not fight any more sisters-in-law's ideas. At that moment, Nuo Nuo continued to speak, took her hand, and said solemnly: "You are my daughter-in-law, not a sister-in-law." "But I was thinking in my heart, if you want to talk about the inner courtyard, Xiao Fu is not my sister-in-law......
