Chapter 62: Dowry

Compared with Pei Baoer's anger after learning that Qi Heng was a reborn product, and his "rewinding and starting over" also affected his death in modern times, and he was "killed" by him again after finally going back, Qi Heng himself was very calm and calm after learning the so-called world truth from Pei Baoer.

What makes Pei Baoer accept incompetence even more is that he can still put forward a rebuttal with reason, but he has no power to resist!

After she was dumbfounded, Qi Heng also added: "Since you have seen Qingyunzi, you should know that with his current situation, it may be difficult to use ordinary spells in twenty years, let alone a large-scale spell like traveling through time and space." ”

Pei Baoer was stunned for a moment, and only then reacted.

This guy is telling her euphemistically, if she dies and goes back, she can only honestly squat in this "imaginary" world for the rest of her life.

She was a little flustered, and could only avoid its edge.

"Whether this is true or not, you know where I came from, and know that I am no less familiar with it than you are. Why do you have to force each other to let me go? ”

Qi Heng frowned and asked, "Why do you say this?" You and I are husband and wife, even if we have gone through all kinds of things before, and now we are finally reunited, don't you rejoice? ”

Pei Bao'er: "...... "I like you big-headed ghost!"

She realized that she couldn't make sense of the person at all, because the two of them didn't seem to be on the same channel.

"I'm Pei Bao'er, not Pei Shu. What happened in my previous life, it has nothing to do with me, those grievances and hatreds disappeared as early as when Pei Shu died. She said word by word: "In my opinion, you are the most selfish person in the whole world." Even if Pei Shu really doesn't die, she won't accept you again. ”

"Why?" For the first time, the man's voice was confused, as if he had touched something he didn't understand.

Pei Baoer said coldly: "What you do, you have never only considered yourself, and you have never thought about whether others are willing or not." I used to live in a good place, and though I had no hordes of servants to call upon and no rich money to call upon there, I was a hundred, a thousand times happier there than I am now! You have dragged me into such a situation for your own selfishness, and you have asked me to rejoice in my heart...... Scold! Don't you think that's ridiculous? ”

There was silence in the room, save for the faint sound of candlesticks popping.

Neither of them spoke again, nor did they move. One looks at each other through the mirror, eyes focused and sad. The other looked at the messy puddle of jewelry on the ground, but his mind drifted somewhere.

After a long time, the man said softly: "It turns out that you think so......

Pei Baoer originally wanted to say something harsh again, so that the man would completely die, but when the words came to her lips, she somehow couldn't say them.

That's it, that's all, if he still insists on asking himself to play a loving couple with him, she has other tricks waiting for her to tear her face.

After Qi Heng left, Beiyan slipped in timidly.

She lightly cleaned up the pile of jewelry remains on the ground, and sighed regretfully while carefully looking at Pei Bao'er's face.

"Ouch, this white hosta is cracked, and it's the same set as that pile of bracelets...... Alas, this crested head is also crooked, and I don't know if the master of the Treasure Bureau in the palace can repair it......"

Pei Bao'er was upset in her heart, and said angrily: "If it's broken, it's broken, and it's all thrown away." The old doesn't go, the new doesn't come~"

Bei Yan looked frightened and stammered: "But, these are the most cherished things in the past, master, and there are also new ...... that the prince has made people fight."

When she heard that Qi Heng was still flattering her, Pei Baoer was even more unhappy, so she turned her face away, and ignored her if she didn't listen.

Beiyan saw that Pei Bao'er was unmoved, thought about it, picked out a little from it and put it aside, and said solemnly: "Master, you can dissipate your anger, you can throw everything on the side, these are imperial gifts, and this one is one of the dowries left to you by the lady......" and confidently mobilized Ling Xue and them to advise Pei Bao'er seriously.

Pei Baoer was so annoyed that she couldn't do it, so she simply let them go.

She thought about it for a while, but turned her face to Ling Xue and asked, "By the way, who has been taking care of my dowry all these years?" ”

This was the first time she had asked about the dowry since she came back, not that she hadn't thought about it before, but she still had some unrealistic fantasies, so she was lazy to care. Today is a showdown with Qi Heng, looking at his appearance, there is no turning around in the short term, she still takes the opportunity to take stock of her economic strength and then make plans.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xue was a little embarrassed, and two red clouds flew on her face: "Back to the master, your shop is taken care of by Steward Sun." In the past few years, the business has been relatively stable, and the specific profit is Ming'er, and the slave and maid asked him to submit the account books to you for a look......"

Pei Bao'er was a little puzzled, and only after Bai Lu reminded her that it turned out that the Sun steward was the person Ling Xue married.

She smiled: "What should I do, I thought that the Pei family saw that I didn't give birth to an heir, so they came directly to take back ......."

Several handmaidens looked at each other, and only Bei Yanxin said straightforwardly: "How is that possible?" But those who want to save face and don't plan to cut off contacts will easily not do this. The lord is not a fool! ”

Pei Bao'er smiled and shook her head, Pei Shangshu is indeed not a fool, but if the Pei family falls like in the book, is forced by the Lin family step by step, and falls to the point of leaving the capital and returning to his ancestral hometown, maybe under the prodding of the Yang family's mother and daughter, this dowry matter can really make trouble.

Speaking of which, of the four personal maids that Pei Shu married in that year, except for the Liu family, who successfully climbed into bed in the "mutiny", the remaining three can be regarded as loyal to Pei Shu. Beiyan, who was invited to guard the mausoleum, didn't say anything, Ling Xue and Bai Lu stayed in the palace and didn't leave.

Perhaps because they were afraid of being misunderstood as scheming women who wanted to borrow the old master's position, they all coincidentally married in the past few years. Ling Xue is married to a little steward, and the shops under Pei Shu's name are nominally managed by Steward Sun, but in fact, they are managed by their little husband and wife together, Ling Xue is careful, and the accounts are a few points more powerful than Steward Sun. Bai Lu married a guard, the young couple lived in the house, she had no ambitions, she had been in charge of this piece for all the years when the main courtyard was dusty, and now it can be regarded as a good beginning.

"Alright, you two should hurry home. Come back tomorrow in the morning and train the newcomers who have been recently selected, and you can be free. Pei Baoer began to drive people away.

Ling Xue blushed and wanted to excuse herself, but Bai Lu smiled and teased.

"Sister Ling Xue still has a young son at home, so she really should go back early. As for the slave and maid, the husband doesn't know where to send the letter by the prince's envoy, so if not, let the slave and maid keep vigil for the master tonight. ”

The two women fought for me, and in the end, Pei Baoer spoke, and both of them went back in a wilted manner. She didn't let Beiyan do such inhumane work as a vigil, and she rested after a hasty wash, but she was always unsettled.

The people she had seen in the past few days had been dangling in Pei Baoer's mind, and she couldn't help but start thinking, if this was a fictional world, how could the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of these people be so real? She is actually very envious of these people, they don't know anything, they can live an ordinary life, they don't have to worry about these problems like her, and even begin to question the meaning of their existence.

Pei Baoer knew that it was not good to go on like this, and she didn't want to be depressed.

So, in order to keep herself from continuing to be aggrieved, she chose to toss others. Of course, this toss is not bad.

Pei Baoer doesn't have any other hobbies, and half a year ago, she thought very simply, nothing more than tinkering with cosmetics, working hard to make a fortune, and reading scripts in her spare time to relieve boredom.

Now the second one seems to have been reached ahead of schedule, and the third one is not a problem, leaving only the first one to play. Although there is no shortage of money, it is quite interesting to work hard for a career, and it is better than feeling sorry for yourself every day and dying in the back house. In particular, her son, who is not yet three years old, has been forced to "go to kindergarten", and she is too lazy to deal with those women in the palace, and she is really bored if she doesn't do something.

The next day, Steward Sun came to deliver the account book.

Pei Bao'er was also impatient to look at such things, she only asked a few rough questions, and the steward Sun on the left and right didn't look like a cheater. What's more, in her opinion, these dowries that belonged to her previous life were completely a windfall, and it didn't matter how much.

The main thing that shocked her was that Pei Shu's dowry was so much, and the annual income of the shop alone was thousands of taels. It's just a shop, and the fields don't count! In comparison, her hard work in the first two years to save money to set up a small shop is very shabby.

"Which of these shops have the worst returns?" She asked coldly.

Steward Sun was stunned, and cold sweat broke out on his head.

He couldn't help but feel a trace of resentment towards his own lady in his heart, saying that the princess who was good was the most kind and not good at the economy, it was all nonsense! This master asked this as soon as he came up, and it was obvious that he was not fooled.

He didn't dare to raise his eyes, only stared at the patterns of birds and beasts on the carpet in front of him, and replied cautiously: "Last year, the least profit was Zhenbao Zhai, there have been no new things to sell in recent years, and old buyers have gradually stopped patronizing......"

Hearing the word Zhenbaozhai, Pei Baoer's eyes flashed, and her thoughts couldn't help but drift to the snowy night in Taixing County, the neatly placed tangram in the package, and the flying chess......

"Then there is the grain store, the cost of transportation has been getting higher and higher in the past two years, and the rice and grain in the south are ......"

Pei Baoer listened carefully to the end, and couldn't help but have a great impression of Steward Sun. said it so carefully, the head is the way, eighty percent is a safe one, Ling Xue has always had a good eye.

"Well, Jumbo Zhai will not move for now." She paused, and then continued, "How big is the store?" Hmm, the layout drawings in the specific shop will be given to me tomorrow. Let's do it first. ”

Steward Sun retreated with relief.

Not to mention him, even the Beiyan, who had served Pei Bao'er for a long time, were stunned.

This is the first time that Pei Baoer has unscrupulously exposed her "true nature" in front of them.

Bei Yan was dumbfounded and said, "Master, that divine doctor not only cured your heart disease, but also cured all the diseases that you regarded money as dung?" ”

Pei Bao'er: "......" What kind of nonsense is this???
