Chapter 362: Family Business
"When will you learn Mother Gui's rhetoric? Whatever the rules, you will do whatever I tell you to do, these are my rules. Song Yi said.
"Princess, don't be angry. I know, in the future, in the courtyard, I will still call you Sister Princess. Luckily? Haruka hurriedly said.
"You" Song Yi knew that Chunxiang had made great progress like this, so he didn't continue to say anything, so he nodded.
As she was talking, Gui's mother came in from outside.
Over the years, Gui's mother has been managing the property of the three rooms of the True King's Mansion for Song Yi.
Although the third room and the big room have not been separated, in fact, because the second room moved out to live, the old lady Du Shi has already divided the family business. It's just that it didn't go through the government.
Except for the second room, which went through the official procedures, the knowledge of the big house and the second room industry were tacitly separated from each other.
The share between the big house and the old lady is naturally managed by the eldest lady Wang. And the third room, because Song Yi has not been in the house all these years, it has been managed by Gui's mother herself.
It is said that it is an industry of Sanfang, but in fact, it is just some remote shops and Zhuangzi that are cumbersome in the real palace. It's all a money-losing business.
Because the real king and the princess are not in the house, Gui's mother is a subordinate, knowing that the old lady and the Wang family have calculated the third room, but there is no way.
Over the years, she has also been painstakingly running the shop and Zhuangzi assigned to the three rooms. After Zhuangzi was recovered, Gui's mother found some honest farmers to take care of it, although she did not make a living, she was barely self-sufficient, and occasionally sent some fresh fruits and vegetables to the house. As for those shops with bad locations, Gui's mother really had no experience in taking care of them, so she could only dismiss her subordinates and lease out the shop.
It can also slightly compensate for the cost of some three-bedrooms. Make ends meet in front of you.
Gui's mother has always had a heart problem, and she saw that the old lady and the eldest lady had fattened their pockets. And those were originally supposed to be the family business of the true king and the little prince. was eaten up by people with foreign surnames, and Gui's mother was heartbroken every time she thought about it.
So, on this day, Gui's mother found Song Yi here with the account books of all these years.
"Princess, this is the account book of the three rooms over the years. Please take a look," Gui's mother respectfully brought the account book to Song Yi.
Song Yi didn't know what Gui's mother was crazy again, but seeing that Gui's mother had a recurrence of the old machine in her leg because of her hard work over the years, and she could only rely on crutches to walk every day, she couldn't be harsh on the old man anymore.
Originally, Song Yi still wanted to go back to Beijing to rest for a while, so he had repeatedly rejected Gui's mother's hints. But unexpectedly, now, Gui's mother directly handed over the account books and forced Song Yi to take over the affairs of the house.
Song Yi couldn't blame Gui's mother for persecution, so he could only say with a smiling face, "Gui's mother, what is this for?" ”
"Princess, the old slave is old and powerless. Now he has a recurrence of leg disease and is unable to walk. The doctor also let the old slave rest more. Therefore, the old slave can no longer share these things for you. Today, the old slave took all the account books of the past few years that you have been away from the house. Do you want to take it yourself or leave it to someone else. The old slave won't say a word. Anyway, this palace was originally yours and the prince's. ”
"You two don't care, and the old slave doesn't care. After handing over the account book, the old slave left the palace and returned to Zhuangzi to recuperate. You and the prince, please rest assured, Xiao Er's family is in Zhuangzi, and the old slave will let them support the elderly, and they will not dare to treat the old slave badly."
"As for the affairs of the house, you will have to worry about it in the future, Princess. The prince is a man, and he can't be bound by some trivial things in the house. If the old slave says something that should not be said, the princess should take the initiative to take on the affairs of the real palace. Not only can the prince rest assured, but also give Xiao Shizi a good environment"
Gui's mother's words made Song Yi a little unhappy. He is obviously a strong young man, and he thinks about how to be lazy and slippery all day long, but Gui's mother is so old, but she always thinks about how to make the real king worry.
"Mother Gui, you must not leave. A few days ago, the prince discussed with me. Let me clean up a courtyard for you, so that you can live in peace of mind. He also said that he would let your son's family come back from Zhuangzi. Reunite your family. I know that your grandson Xiaohu has started school. In the countryside Zhuangzi, there is no good private school. You can let him go back to Beijing and study with Xiao Shizi. Two children also have a companion. You say, okay? Song Yi knew that she couldn't tell Gui's mother not to leave directly, because she didn't have a good reason.
Could it be that Gui's mother has worked hard all her life, and when she is old, she wants to reunite with her children and grandchildren, can Song Yi still stop her? This is emotionally and morally unjustifiable. But if you want Xiaohu to have a good learning environment, and ask Gui's mother's son and daughter-in-law to return to Beijing to work separately, it is completely different.
When Gui's mother heard this, she was also a little shaken, "Is this really what the prince said?" ”
"Mother Gui, you should understand the prince's personality. He has always regarded you as an adult, and knows that you have worked hard for the True Palace all your life, so he naturally hopes that you can enjoy your old age in peace. Besides, I have been away from Beijing for so many years before I came back, and I am a little unfamiliar with the things in the house. If I don't have you by my side, I'm afraid I'll make a mistake. Anyway, you've been working hard all these years, and you don't care about holding on for a while, do you? ”
Song Yi's words made Gui's mother very comfortable to listen to, but she still did not forget her purpose, "It's okay if you want me to stay." However, the old slave has always had a wish. If the princess can help the old slave to finish. The old slave is also considered to be dead without regrets, and even if he dies in the future, he will be able to give an explanation to the old prince."
"Mother Gui, what do you say? As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you" Where does Song Yi dare to refuse, as long as Mother Gui can make a request, it means that there is still the possibility of negotiation.
Mother Gui looked at the princess in front of her and said, "Princess, the family business of the True Wangfu is the result of the painstaking efforts of the ancestors, saving bit by bit. The old slave knows that you and the prince don't care about these family businesses, but the old slave can't watch the family property of the real king's mansion being taken over. You can turn a blind eye, but the old slave can't look at the family property that belongs to the little prince and be eaten up by some irrelevant people with foreign surnames."
Gui's mother was very excited, and her love was so strong that she coughed violently.
Song Yi hurriedly asked Chunxiang to pour a cup of warm tea and send it to Gui's mother's mouth.
When Gui's mother saw the tea handed by Chunxiang, she took it and drank it in small sips, and finally breathed down.
Then, Gui's mother continued, "Princess, the real palace has been governed by the old lady and the eldest lady all these years, and the stewards, shopkeepers, and villagers inside and outside the palace no longer know who is the real master of the palace. If you don't care, when the old slaves are all dead, it will make them even more lawless. This family business in the True King's Mansion has completely become someone else's."
Looking at Gui's mother's distressed appearance, Song Yi felt embarrassed. She couldn't help but know what was good and bad, and blamed Gui's mother for being nosy. Because she knew that the reason why Mother Gui was so excited was because she was afraid that the property of the True King's Mansion would be taken over.
