"Is that so?" Xue's face was happy, the tails of his eyes were slightly raised, and he found that her husband and son were looking at her, so she had to cough awkwardly, hiding the smile at the corner of her mouth and replacing it with a sad face, but her heart was happy.

"Madam, I was also about to tell you about this, since Wei'er was sent to the family temple, my sister must not have a good time in the Ji family, as our mother's family, we should have something to say, hand over a post in a while, and you will go tomorrow."

Hmph, I won't lose this person if I make a face for her, a small concubine's room, where did the mother's family come from, Xue sneered disdainfully, but said on his face: "This Ji family is really too bullying, the child makes a mistake, a small punishment is a big commandment, a punishment is enough, how can a good child say that he will be sent away, or sent to a place like the family temple, but the master, tomorrow the first two Zhuangzi stewards will come to pay tribute, and the concubine body can't take a break even if she wants to." ”

Ignorant stupid woman, make excuses and don't find a decent one, who is fooling, Xu Liang snorted coldly: "If you don't want to go, then let the Xin family go." ”

"Master, although the Xin family is a noble concubine, it is only a concubine, so it's not good." Xue said.

Xu Liang just looked at her coldly and didn't speak.

Xue Shi was stared at by him so much, he couldn't help but lower his head: "I thought about it and it would be more appropriate for the concubine to go, my sister has suffered such a big grievance, and I, as a sister-in-law, should do my best, anyway, it's still early, and the concubine will let people spread the word after a while, so that the two stewards will come back tomorrow." ”

"If only you could think like that." Xu Liang's face softened a little, glanced at Xu Yuze, brushed his sleeves and left.

As soon as Xu Liang left, Xu Yuze suddenly felt that the pressure became less, and he breathed a long sigh of relief: "Mother, I'll go with you tomorrow, my aunt loves me so much on weekdays, and now my cousin is not around, I should also go and see her." ”

Xue Shi looked at him deeply: "That's it, you can go if you want." ”

Anyway, the little vixen isn't there, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Xu Liangxi couldn't help himself: "Mother, then it's decided, I'll go to Wenshu first." ”

Xue Shi looked at his back, and his expression became more and more solemn.

——

Since Ji Wei was sent away, Aunt Xu went back to her yard, and never came out again until it was dark, and the whole Wanying residence was only lit with a few lights, which seemed very quiet.

In the dark room, a slender figure sat at the table, her hands clenched on the table, her expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but after a long time she maintained her original posture, like a sculpture that did not move.

A knock sounded on the door.

The figure moved, raised its head slightly, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Come in." ”

"Madame, the slave is back." The magpie pushed open the door and entered, lit the nearest candlestick, and then bowed his head and stood aside.

"What did my brother say?"

"Uncle asked the slave maid to bring you a word, and you need to tie the bell to unlock the bell."

"Do you have to tie the bell to the bell?" Aunt Xu's eyebrows were hidden in the dim candlelight, and she could only vaguely see her frowning brows.

The magpie knew that Aunt Xu was not asking herself, and she didn't answer out loud.

After a while, I heard Aunt Xu chuckle softly, and there was an inexplicable coolness in her tone: "If you talk to the outside world tomorrow, you will say that I am sick." ”

"Step aside, let the thrush in."

"Yes."

The magpie only dared to look up and hurriedly retreated, serving the Xu family for so many years, she and Bailing and Du Juan are also confidants, but when facing the Xu family, she still can't help but feel bottomless, for fear that one will accidentally make a mistake.

Only the thrush is different, but she is not envious at all, and she wishes that the thrush would be more eye-catching, and it will save them from worrying in front of the master every day.

The magpie spoke, and the thrush soon came, and as soon as he entered the house, he quickly closed the door.

Aunt Xu glanced at her lightly, and continued to use scissors to cut off a burned candle core, and the flame shook a little, burning more vigorously than before.

"Got it done? What do I want? ”

Thrush took out a paper bag from his bosom and put it on the table, and a touch of cruelty flashed on his ordinary-looking face: "Madame, don't worry, the matter has been done." ”

"Well done, hehe, no one who betrays me will end well." When Aunt Xu heard this, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked.

"I'm tired, you go down first, you keep an eye on me over there in Qiyunyuan, if there is any movement, come and tell me at any time."

"Yes, slave and maid obey"

This night, there was a sudden lightning and thunder, and it was pouring rain, Ji Wan woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep anymore, looking at the raindrops that hit the windowsill with the size of beans, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and stroked his forehead, how could he forget such an important matter.

I remember that in my previous life, it rained for five full days, and several county towns on the outskirts of Beijing were flooded and washed away, with countless deaths and injuries, 10,000 acres of fertile land destroyed, and a large number of displaced people poured into the capital.

"Miss, why did you wake up, it would be bad if you caught a cold if you wore so little."

Yan Bing slept in the cubicle, and as soon as he heard a noise inside, he immediately got up and came over, seeing Ji Wan standing by the window wearing only his bedclothes, and hurriedly took a thin blanket and draped it on his body.

"Why is the young lady worried?" Yan Bing asked.

"This rain is so cautious, if it rains for a few days, I'm afraid it will cause waterlogging."

"I think you're just thinking too much, this summer thunderstorm is normal, I can't say that tomorrow the rain will be clear."

"I hope so." Ji Wan didn't want to talk to her much, so he asked instead, "Yan Bing, how many silver taels do we still have in our hands." ”

Yan Bing didn't know why she suddenly asked this, she wondered in her heart, turned around and took out a small ebony box from the mezzanine of the cabinet, opened it and put it in front of Ji Guan: "It's all here, a total of 153,800 taels of silver tickets, you can directly get it to Huitong Money Bank to redeem." ”

"It's also that Miss spends less on weekdays, so she can save so much silver, and there are 100,000 taels in it that Mrs. left for Miss as a dowry before she died, and the slave has always helped you keep it."

Ji Wan glanced at the wooden box and asked, "Do you know how much grain is on the market now?" ”

Yan Bing thought for a moment and replied: "This year's harvest is good, the price of grain is not high, a load of grain is about one or two or five dollars of silver." ”

Ji Wan held his cheeks and thought about how much food he could buy with the money in his hand.

Yan Bing was very puzzled and asked, "Miss, why are you asking this?" There is still a lot of food in our house, and besides, these old ladies and masters have their own worries. ”

"I want to buy some food and put it away in case I need it."

Although Yan Bing didn't figure it out, she didn't ask, Miss has more ideas than before since she woke up this time, and many things don't need to be reminded by them, and the current Miss can always give them an inexplicable sense of security, as long as they are told to do things well.
