Chapter 442 Steward
Chen Youyi smiled at Meng Xiulian, took her hand and walked to the house, saying as she walked, "This is the capital, no better than our small village and small shop, we used to be here with heads and faces, and this time we can't lower our status, although there is no one in our family who is an official in the court, but we can't let those people look down on you, mother, I know what you're thinking, this money is earned by me doing business, let's spend it fairly, don't take it to heart." ”
Mu Xiulian suddenly stopped, grabbed Chen Youyi's hand tightly, and looked at her gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work, if it weren't for you, even Ziheng wouldn't know what to do until now, and the whole family really depends on you now." ”
"Whereever, that's what I'm supposed to do." Looking at the tears in the corners of Mu Xiulian's eyes, she reached out to help her wipe them away, "Mother, today is a happy day, don't be so sad, these things at home are trivial, as long as our family is still together, it is the best." ”
"Yes, yes, as long as our family is still together, it's good." A smile appeared on Mu Xiulian's face, and then she followed Chen Youyi and them to the mansion.
"This mansion is bigger and more beautiful than the former General's Mansion, it must have cost a lot of money."
"It cost a lot of money, to be honest, when I heard this price, I was a little hesitant, but in the end I gritted my teeth and bought it, you just like it, this will be our family in the future."
After looking around the house, Mu Xiulian was very satisfied, kept praising Chen Youyi, and even focused all her attention on Chen Youyi, but her son, who had not been seen for many days, was ignored.
However, Qin Ziheng was also happy to see that his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so harmonious.
"Mother, you wait here, I told the kitchen to make some of your favorite meals, you can eat in a while, and take a good rest in the afternoon after eating." Chen Youyi hugged Qin Xuan and teased her, while talking to Mu Xiulian.
Mu Xiulian stretched out her hand to take Qin Xuan in Chen Youyi's arms, "You go and get busy, just leave the child to me, you don't have to take care of me all the time, although I'm old, I can still take care of myself, you have a lot of things, go and get busy." ”
Chen Youyi touched Qin Xuan's little face, and then turned around and left, because there were some things that still needed to be dealt with, and Qin Ziheng stayed here to accompany Mu Xiulian.
After Chen Youyi left, Mu Xiulian looked at her son, and her face sank, "What happened on the battlefield?" After she found you, why did she come to the capital again? What happened in the capital? Tell me carefully. ”
Qin Ziheng knew that the weak mother outside was actually very strong inside, she used to be the general's wife, and she was also a person who had seen many people in the world, and she was different from those old ladies in Xiaojing.
"Mother, it's hard to say anything about things here, I'll tell you slowly in the future, let's stabilize in the capital first."
"Then why don't you go home? Let's come to the capital instead? Does this matter have anything to do with the emperor? ”
Sure enough, Mu Xiulian guessed this matter at once, if this matter was not ordered by the emperor, or if it was a major implication, Qin Ziheng and Chen Youyi should have gone home a long time ago, how could they buy a house in the capital, do business in the capital and take herself and Qin Xuan over.
Qin Ziheng didn't speak, and he didn't want to say it because he didn't want Mu Xiulian to worry.
"If you don't say it, I can guess eight or nine points, the companion is like a tiger, this time we will return to the capital, we must be very careful in doing things, and we must also use some heart for your lady, although we are just businessmen now, not an official in the capital, but there are some things, even if we want to hide when we come back, we can't hide."
Qin Ziheng understood the meaning of her words, what Mu Xiulian said that she couldn't hide from should be those grievances in the past, including those things that her father had left behind in the court.
Even if Mu Xiulian didn't say it, Qin Ziheng also felt that the people in Yuefu had begun to move, and they were not officials in the court, and these people refused to let go of themselves, but who let there be so many grievances at the beginning, but those grievances involved Chen Youyi, which was what made Qin Ziheng a little worried.
"I understand what my mother said, and I will definitely be careful in the future."
"You also help her do more business things, if you can stay away, stay away from those chaos, and not be an official in the court, it may not be a good thing."
"When the child knows, he will listen to his mother's teachings."
"Go ahead, go out and see if your lady needs help."
From the dislike of Chen Youyi to the care for her now, Mu Xiulian's attitude has changed dramatically, all of this was earned by Chen Youyi for herself, her hard work and not giving up made Mu Xiulian really see her clearly and trust her more.
"Wang Da, you used to be a housekeeper by my side, and the affairs of the family were handled very properly, I am very satisfied, but if I let you stay in the capital, what should your mother do?"
Chen Youyi asked people to put the things they brought in the warehouse, and put some of the things they needed now in their own rooms, and only after the matter was instructed did they talk to Wang Da about the housekeeper.
At this point, Wang Da actually thought about it, "Now Wang Er is on an errand in the capital, and my third brother is still fighting, if I stay in the capital, my mother will indeed have no one to take care of her, so ......"
"I've also considered this, so I plan to let you go back and continue to manage the business in Xinghua Village and Linjiang Town, after all, I have to have someone watch over there for me, I can trust you, so I still want to leave the things over there to you."
"That's no problem, I'll definitely do it well, it's just the housekeeper here......"
"I found a good guy at the tailor's shop, and there is no problem at the moment, so I want him to be a housekeeper here for the time being, and you have also seen the same Bai Tiesheng who worked for me in the tailor's shop."
Mentioning this person, Wang Da nodded again and again, "I have seen this person, he was still here just now to help clean up things, this person seems to be quite shrewd, the city government is also relatively deep, he does things neatly, and his brain is also very clear, if he can use it well, he is also a proper person." ”
"That's what I thought too."
As he was talking, Qin Ziheng walked over, "How is the lady's things packed?" ”
"I've asked them to put everything where they should be, lunch is being prepared in the kitchen, and we can eat after a while, and I'm telling Wang Da to go back if he's okay in the next two days, and the business over there and the things in the house also need to be taken care of."
Qin Ziheng nodded and looked at Wang Da, "If we are not here in the future, the matter over there will be entrusted to you." ”
"Where is this talking about, although we are all from the same village, but after all, I am working for you, and I am paid for your wages, so if you have anything, just tell me." Wang Da hurriedly said, "If I have time in the future, I will also let my mother come to the capital for a turn, see the world, and see the prosperity here." ”
