Chapter 465: Wool Picking
After Arlene went to Sichuan, Hefu suddenly felt a lot colder, Yingyun stayed in the palace for many years, and only came back once during the New Year's holidays, and the mansion became more and more depressed.
On this day, Yingyun heard that Ji Wen was sick, so she took leave with the emperor early and made a special trip back to take a look.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Ji Wen coughing severely, and it was not a day or two to see the wind and cold.
Ji Wen put on a black fox mask, coughing while looking at the accounts in the house.
Ying Yun took off her official hat, roasted her hands on the charcoal fire, and said: "I let you take care of the accounts in the house, I just wanted to give you something to do, to pass the time, you are good, you work so hard, and you still see what Na Laoshizi is doing when you are sick?" ”
As she spoke, Ying Yun snatched the account book in her hand and handed her a bowl of tea to moisten her throat.
Ji Wen took a sip, smoothed her throat, and said with a smile: "It's all my own family's silver, I don't care who cares?" ”
Ying Yun flipped through the cumbersome account book casually, and said: "The accounts in the mansion are so small, it is difficult for you to take such a detailed note......" Her eyes swept down, she suddenly frowned, and said: "Why is the Xitara clan's expenses so large?" ”
Ji Wenxiu frowned slightly, and said: "She wants to eat bird's nest and ginseng every day, if she doesn't follow her, she will come to me to make trouble." I read that she is an elder, and I don't want to conflict with her, so I can rely on her. ”
Yingyun turned the pages one by one, and said suspiciously: "In the past two days, she asked for a pound of bird's nest?" Is this a meal? ”
Ji Wen was silent and said, "She doesn't eat by herself, I sent someone to follow her, and found that she often brings the expensive food in the house back to the old house." I asked people to inquire later, and she brought it back to her daughter-in-law to mend her body. ”
"Daughter-in-law?" Yingyun rarely heard Arlene talk about the Hitara clan, so she didn't know where she had a daughter-in-law?
Ji Wen nodded and said, "The Hitara clan has a son with her ex-husband, and she remarried you Ama after her ex-husband died. Her own son is not successful, he is mixed in the capital all day long, and last year he fell in love with a woman from the Chu Pavilion, and she was pregnant, so she insisted on marrying her. The Hitara clan refused, and the two were in a stalemate for a long time, and then, for some reason, he suddenly had a large sum of silver, ransomed for the woman, and married in private. ”
Ying Yun guessed that the windfall of the son of the Hitara clan might be related to the people in the palace, and it was from that time that the Hitara clan appeared at the gate of the mansion from time to time.
Ji Wen said again: "Although the Xitara clan doesn't like that woman, that woman is pregnant with her grandson in her belly, so she acquiesces." ”
Ying Yun snorted and said, "She can pick up wool and take things from Hefu to supplement her son, and you let her do the same?" ”
Ji Wen said helplessly: "I look at the poor pregnant woman, the old house has long been hollowed out, and her husband lingers in the land of fireworks day and night, if it weren't for the Hitara clan to bring her something, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to open the pot a long time ago." ”
Ying Yun shook her head with a smile and said, "You, your heart is too kind, but you don't know that it is the Hitara clan that is used to her son, so there is today's bad thing." Thinking about it, Yingyun asked again: "Do you know what her son's name is?" Where do you often go? ”
Ji Wen said: "My full name is not clear, I only heard the Xitara clan call him Xibaoer, and he often appears in the area of Hefang Street." ”
Yingyun wrote them down one by one and said, "Okay, leave this matter to me, you don't care." ”
