Chapter 460: In vain

After listening to Xie Changjing's words, Xie Shurou began to deliberately pretend to be stupid again: "Father's daughter doesn't understand much. Isn't the biggest thing in the DPRK right now the matter of the northern border? According to his daughter's shallow opinion, if there is no increase in troops in the north, he will really start a large-scale attack on the Rirongdi people, and it will be too late to regret it. Even if the Mu generals in the north are a hundred, they can't defeat the Rongdi people on their own, can they? ”

"This is the government, not your woman's housekeeper in the back house." Xie Changjing looked away: "You're right, General Mu can't be a hundred, and in the eyes of the two years of war losses in the northern camp, the soldiers will eventually increase." But when and how much to increase is a matter of learning. Who can say how to increase troops to ensure the comfort of the northern border and ensure that the treasury is not under too much pressure? ”

"The money in the treasury is not blown by the wind, and the household department is in charge of the finances, which is not as simple as your mother's housekeeper. Even your mother can't manage accounts without using her brain, right? How much money is paid to the farms and shops each year, and how much money your grandfather has, and how much money I have with your uncles, are counted. ”

"That's exactly what it is." Grandma Xie smiled and nodded: "Xianggong is right, it is not easy to be a housekeeper, there is a lot of money, how to spend less money and do things well, it can be a science." How can anyone pay for the money, and I will give it all? If this is the case, then in just two or three years, our house will be hollowed out? ”

"But isn't that a matter of the Tobe?" Xie Shurou continued to be cheeky and pretended to be stupid in order to draw more information: "Grandfather is Xiangye, according to his granddaughter, how to run the house, that is the responsibility of the household department, if the grandfather feels that the north needs to increase the army, then what can't be said, the matter is handed over to the household department." ”

"You child, your father is from the household, aren't you changing the law and making things difficult for your father." Grandma Xie glanced at her daughter with a smile, but she didn't feel that her daughter's words were inappropriate.

"My daughter just doesn't know how to ask," Xie Shurou smiled innocently: "Besides, isn't there still a book in front of the household." ”

In Xie Changjing's cognition, it is too normal for a girl to say stupid things, he did not dislike Xie Shurou's question for being too low-end, but said with a smile: "What a stupid child, your father and I are also household officials, where can I pick it clearly?" Besides, this matter is not as simple as you say, although your grandfather does not care about the household, but as a minister, he has to be responsible for the court. How can you listen to the wind is the rain, and you will make a decision casually when you pat your head. ”

"You don't understand it, let me give you a simple analogy, just like in our family, your grandmother is no longer in charge of the house, if she wants to spend thousands of dollars to buy something one day, she can't just talk to your mother because she doesn't care about the account, and you have to consider the actual situation in our family."

"And what did the father himself think?" Xie Shurou still couldn't help but ask directly.

"What do you think," Xie Changjing shook his head and refused to answer: "You don't understand what you said." But your words today remind me. ”

Xie Changjing refused to answer any more questions about An Guogong's recital, and Xie Shurou knew that she had failed in her mission today. spying on the military situation, he didn't get any useful information, and Xie Changjing didn't look like he would take the initiative to persuade Xie Xiang.

Could it be ...... Master Jiang didn't succeed in fooling Xie Changjing? Xie Shurou frowned slightly, a little worried.

However, before she could think about it carefully, Xie Changjing turned her face and looked at Grandma Xie with an inquiring face: "Regarding these things about housekeeping, Rou'er should have started learning a long time ago, why is she still so naΓ―ve now?" Are you a little too indulgent of her? ”

"I've already started learning." Grandma Xie personally took the pot and poured wine for Xie Changjing, and replied with a smile: "It's just a husband, what kind of family our Rou'er will marry in the future, you have a plan in your heart." Rou'er will be from a high family in her husband's family, so this thing that should be taught before getting married, her mother has to personally Zhang Luo, what is there to worry about her mother personally training her husband? Our Rou'er is the first proud granddaughter in front of her old man! ”

"Hmm." Xie Changjing nodded: "That's fine." ”

"Xianggong can rest assured." Grandma Xie glanced at Xie Shurou with a proud gaze: "Among the girls in our Xie family, Rou'er is the most top-notch." In fact, don't talk about the Xie family, the girls in Manjing, how many can you count who can be stronger than Rou'er right now? My daughter is known for her talent and beauty! ”

Xie Changjing looked at his slim daughter and nodded with satisfaction, but he was not as proud as Grandma Xie. In Xie Changjing's opinion, the biggest reason why Xie Shurou became a famous noble girl in the capital is that she is Xie Xiang's granddaughter and his Xie Changjing's daughter.

In Xie Changjing's cognition, if she doesn't have a good background, the value of a woman is just that. There are some beautiful and well-read little jasper families in the capital, so what? Without a good background, their best way out is to marry into a big family of scholars and make a red-sleeved concubine for the young masters, but they can't get on the stage.

However, Xie Shurou is the most outstanding one among the girls in the Xie family, which Xie Changjing agrees with, so he still patted Grandma Xie's hand and praised him like a leader praising his subordinates: "You still know how to teach your son, Mu Feng and Rou'er have been taught very well by you, much stronger than Mu Chun and Fang'er." ”

That's right, in Xie Changjing's heart, Grandma Xie is really a very good wife, and the children she has raised are very good. Of course, the most important thing is that the son is excellent, Xie Mufeng is much more promising than the son born to the concubine, Xie Changjing is absolutely positive about this.

If the two words of praise for Grandma Xie just now, it only made the modern Xie Shurou feel a little uncomfortable, and the ancient indigenous Grandma Xie was even quite happy. His next sentence completely changed the faces of the mother and daughter at the dinner table.

Xiao Xie looked like a matter of course, and instructed Grandma Xie: "Mu Feng and Rou'er are out of breath now, and you don't need to worry about it from time to time, I think you should spend more time on Mu Chun and Fang'er, you are also a mother-in-law, don't be too small, and you should help teach Mu Chun and Fang'er more." ”

Listening to Xie Changjing's words, Grandma Xie's face was a little unsightly, but Xie Changjing seemed to be blind to his wife's face, and poured a glass of wine by herself, but she looked more and more comfortable.
