Chapter 5: Temptation to Test You (2nd Update)
Xiao lowered his eyelids weakly, and bent lower. Secretly raised his eyes, but saw that the young grandmother was still looking at him, he quickly lowered his head, and slowly sweated from his forehead, and said for a long time: "Back to the eldest grandmother, the eldest aunt and grandmother had a very sad time in the Zhao Mansion, but fortunately Cuiyu was loyal to the lord, so, so ......"
"Manager Xiao, why did you say that my grandfather left with my uncle and left you?"
Xiao Zhong said cautiously: "The old slave doesn't know. ”
Xin Yao glanced at Weiyun and said, "Weiyun, can you talk about it?" ”
Weiyun said with a smile: "Grandma, I want the slave to say that this Qiu family's behavior has reached the point where the old lady and uncle avoid it, which shows how arrogant and arrogant they should have been in the past." Steward Xiao, our grandmother often said to us that meritorious people are most afraid of merit, and they will be proud of their merits, and they will cause trouble if they are proud. The slave only believes what our grandmother says. ”
A girl can actually say such translucent words, Xiao Chong only felt that cold sweat broke out on his body, and his legs were a little weak.
Xin Yao said with a smile: "You are the head of the house, and the big and small things in the house can't escape your eyes." Manager Xiao, the caregiver also has to see clearly who is protecting, for fear that if one is not careful, the person does not protect it, but hurts himself, and this monopoly is a bit of a loss. ”
He swallowed his saliva, and had to say truthfully: "Grandma, the Qiu family has a pharmacy in the north of the city, and some of the precious medicinal materials are from our house, do you see this?" ”
Xin Yao didn't speak for a long time.
Weiyun sneered: "Grandma, this kind of subordinate who betrays the master, if he is changed to our Jiang Mansion, it will be considered light to be thrown out, if he reports to the official, maybe he will have to be imprisoned for ten years or eight years." ”
Xin Yao saw Xiao Chong subconsciously shrink her head, and then smiled: "Hey, who doesn't have a slave and evil servant, there is a way that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and this matter does not have to be taken outside." ”
"Grandma is merciful!"
Benevolent?
Jiang Xinyao secretly felt funny. To be merciful to the intercourse is to be cruel to the main room.
"Manager Xiao, you go and tell the Qiu family. As for the pharmacy, I'll just turn a blind eye. It's just that this Xiao Mansion can't stay any longer, and he has returned the deed of sale. And give two hundred taels of silver out of the account, and go out and live a good life. ”
The corners of Weiyun's mouth pursed: "Grandma, what if the Qiu family refuses to leave?" ”
Xin Yao poked Weiyun's head with her hand, and scolded: "You girl, you still think that others are as stupid as you, who would put a good life and like to eat that prison meal......"
Before she finished speaking, Xin Yao suddenly coughed, and Weiyun said anxiously: "Grandma, the old lady just told you to have a good rest." Look at you, you're coughing again, and the slave will help you back to your room. ”
Xin Yao sighed: "My body! Hey, Mr. Xiao, I'll trouble you with this. When it's over, I just need to reply to my grandfather, and I don't have to go out of my way here. Weiyun, let's go! ”
Xiao hurriedly said: "Grandma don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter for you, grandma take care of your body, you go slowly!" ”
Xin Yao listened. Happy, the leg that had just stepped back retracted, and looked at Xiao Zhong deeply.
"Manager Xiao, there is one less person in front of you, you can find someone to make up for it when you go back, there is a way to be idle and not avoid relatives. Mr. Xiao doesn't need to avoid it too much. ”
When Xiao Zhong heard this, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.
Xiao Zhong has a youngest son, named Xiao Qing, who is fourteen this year, and has always wanted to wait in front of the uncle. The people around the uncle are full, and he can't even insert a single foot. Now that the grandmother said this, she must have inquired about it, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, grandma!" ”
Xin Yao held Weiyun's hand and walked out of the main hall like this.
Weiyun leaned closer and whispered, "Thanks to Mother Li's clear inquiry." Grandma, the slave looks at this Mr. Xiao, but he is a smart person! ”
Xin Yao straightened her back and tilted her head.
"Grandma, my favorite thing is smart people!"
The master and servant looked at each other and smiled, and walked back to the house leisurely.
……
In the study, Xiao Ting was talking to his grandson without a match, Xiao Han was anxious, but his face was not visible. The grandfather and grandson had just drunk two sips of tea, and saw Xiao Zhong hurriedly enter the study.
Xiao Ting said: "Didn't you let you accompany your grandmother to deal with the affairs of the Qiu family, why did you come here?" ”
Xiao Zhong took a breath and said, "Old lady, it's done." ”
Xiao Tinghu glanced at Xiao Han suspiciously, and said, "How did you deal with it?" Come on! ”
Xiao hurriedly recounted the matter.
Xiao Ting listened, and said with a blank face: "The Qiu family is gone?" ”
Xiao Zhong said: "Let's go, I'll leave without saying a word." Old lady, the old slave just learned that the Qiu family actually bought a house in the north of the city. ”
Xiao Ting snorted coldly: "That's it, I'm also worthy of them!" ”
Xiao Han said: "Grandfather, it's nothing, I'll go back first." ”
"Wait, give these account books to her, and I can finally let go of the affairs in this house in the future."
Xiao Han glanced at the account book a few times and said, "Grandfather, she is not in good health, and she is impatient to take care of these things, you will work hard for another two years." ”
Old lady Xiao said angrily: "My health is not good, and I have never seen you so filial to me, you are really an unfilial son." Your daughter-in-law is a smart one, Xiao Zhong has been with me for more than 30 years, and she was stopped by her before she even made a move. These little things, for her, are not a problem. ”
Xiao hurriedly said: "Yes, uncle, even the girl next to the grandmother is also a powerful person." ”
"Grandfather, it's only the first day, and it's not appropriate for you to put all the things in and outside the house on her head."
Old lady Xiao said angrily: "If you are willing to marry a daughter-in-law early, I still have to wait until now?" Come on, go back, I'll go to the treasury to find some good medicine, make up for your daughter-in-law, and give me a great-grandson. ”
After that, he didn't care what kind of watch Xiao Han was, and went out with his hand behind his back.
Xiao Zhong looked at the uncle's face, stepped forward and said, "Uncle, the eldest grandmother coughed a few more times when she left......
Xiao Han copied the account book with one hand, and without saying a word, he went to his own courtyard.
Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked to the courtyard, looked up at the sky, and let out a long breath.
The second manager, Xiao Ji, hurriedly greeted him.
Xiao Zhong glanced at him, and couldn't help sighing: "Tell me to go down, from now on, the one in the east will be the main one, if anyone makes that grandma unhappy, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." ”
Xiao Ji leaned closer and said, "Is it really so powerful?" ”
Xiao Zhong sneered: "That's it." That's not what we're supposed to say. I'll just tell you one word, grandma coughed a few times, and the uncle was anxious. ”
Xiao Zhong saw that he was silent, and said, "People from the Qiu family." If you find someone for me to keep an eye on, I'm afraid I won't be satisfied. ”
Xiao Ji hurriedly stammered: "Don't worry, it will be done properly." ”
……
The earth dragon in the house was burning hot, Xin Yao took off her cloak, leaned against the Huanghuali open-carved three-dimensional Arhat bed under the window and drank tea comfortably.
Weiyun took the hand stove handed over by Qingxu, stuffed it hot into the young lady's hand, and said, "Grandma, will Manager Xiao handle this matter?" ”
Xin Yao said with a smile: "If it can't be done, the chief manager of this Xiao Mansion should also be replaced." ”
Qingxu hurriedly said: "Grandma." Do you want to meet the people in our courtyard? ”
Xin Yao scolded angrily: "You just can't see me resting for a while, this matter, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm tired today." Take a break. ”
Weiyun said with a smile: "Grandma, I have to follow the eldest master to Du Mansion tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I will return to the door, so let's see you today!" ”
"Who does Grandma want to see?" Xiao Han lifted the curtain and entered the door.
Weiyun looked at the young lady and said with a smile: "Uncle is back, grandma is empty, meet the girl in our yard." ”
Xiao Han thought for a moment. said: "This matter is not in a hurry, you go and tell Manager Xiao, gather everyone in the main hall this afternoon, and see you when the eldest grandmother takes a nap." ”
Weiyun nodded yes.
Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang saw that the uncle was back, so they hurriedly entered the house and waited.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Han said: "Let's go down." Just have a big grandmother here. ”
The four girls saluted and went out of the house. Xin Yao neither got up nor looked at him, and drank tea by herself.
Xiao Han took off his shoes and clothes and sat opposite Xin Yao. lowered his head, looked at Xin Yao's face, put the four account books on the small table, and said, "Grandfather gave it to you, take a look." ”
Xin Yao tilted her head slightly, and said coquettishly: "I don't look at it, it's not good to see it." ”
Xiao Han didn't speak, he took Xin Yao's hand for a while, put it in his palm, and rubbed it carefully.
"This is the biggest family of the Xiao family, and my grandfather has handed it over to you. Mr. Xiao's account books are all on the surface. ”
Xiao Han suddenly put down Xin Yao's hand, got up and walked to the side of the bed, and I don't know where to take out a brocade box, put it on the small table together, and sat down again and said, "This is my private room, you keep it." ”
Xin Yao stared at the brocade box for a long time, and suddenly said loudly: "Today's Qiu family's affairs were calculated by you?" ”
Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, and said, "You know? ”
"Why?"
Xiao Han said: "The Qiu family has followed my grandmother and my mother, and the two masters were originally meritorious ministers of the Xiao Mansion, but they have been a little unbearable in recent years. The reason why my grandfather and I turned a blind eye was just because we couldn't bear to do it because of the loyalty of the Qiu family. Grandfather borrowed your hand to go to their power today, firstly, to test your ability, and secondly, to hand over this family to you. ”
Xin Yao said with a bitter face: "I have just entered the door for half a day, and my grandfather and his old man trust me so much, and they don't even let me breathe. ”
Xiao Han pinched Xin Yao's index finger and said with a smile: "I'm just a small conductor so far, I don't have much ability, and my grandfather doesn't worry about handing over the family business to me." My daughter-in-law is a capable person, Jin Juege, Yiyuan is so well run, much better than me, grandfather he naturally chooses the strong and abandons the weak. ”
Xin Yao was angry, and her hand struggled a few times, but she was held tightly by Xiao Han, so she had to say meaningfully: "Uncle, according to this, King Jing has seen the wrong person." ”
Xiao Han's eyes narrowed, and he leaned closer and said softly: "I can't hide anything from you, daughter-in-law." ”
The two crossed their heads and necks, Xin Yao's face turned red, but she heard the guy say again: "There are many things that I am inconvenient to do, and my grandfather has been tired over the years." You, my husband and wife are one, and the affairs of the house and the affairs of our courtyard will naturally be handed over to you. You look at the account book first, if there is anything you don't understand, then ask me. ”
It stands to reason that the new daughter-in-law passed the door and took charge of the house on the first day, which is a good thing that you can't ask for.
Xin Yao has never been a person who twists, the man's words have been talked about here, no matter how much he shirks, he can't say it, so he just said lazily: "Then I'll take care of it first, if it's not suitable, you just talk about me!" ”
After that, he picked up the account book, flipped through a few pages, and was shocked, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Han with a pair of wonderful eyes.
Xiao Han nodded and did not speak.
