Although Song Yixiao was worried that her mother would stand in the camp hostile to her husband and wife, this would make Wei Mengying deliberately alienate her daughter and son-in-law, and she had nothing to do, so she had to press it down after worrying for a while.

Two days later, the chief steward handed over the list allocated to the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and the servants of the Hefu were seven or eight out of ten, below the chief steward, and more than a dozen stewards with great power such as the second steward were among them.

Not only that, but dozens of people will also be taken away from the properties under the name of the Guogong Mansion, such as shops and manors.

According to a rough estimate, there are more than 300 people to be transferred this time.

After Song Yixiao finished reading it, he immediately frowned: "Don't talk about it in the house, Hengzhi is now the two masters of me and my husband, even if there is a shortage of manpower, it's just enough to make do with it." But if the steward and the head of the village outside are also transferred, where will I find someone to replace me at this moment? Especially now that it is late autumn, there are more things to do about harvest and settlement, these people are leaving, shouldn't they mess up? ”

She thought to herself that Jian Xubai only hinted that he had a backhand for the people in the house, but she didn't say that she also prepared a substitute for the shop Zhuangzi, in case she casually let someone go, and finally went wrong, how could she not complain?

When the chief steward heard this, he said with a smile: "Grandma, you don't know, these people are not the children of our family, but they have signed a long deed." Now the date is almost full, and the little ones have asked one by one, and they don't plan to renew the contract, so they are listed on it for you to see. ”

"Really?" Song Yi took a sip of tea with a noncommittal smile, "The old man who has always worked hard for the Jian family for many years, even if he is leaving now, I think I should also see it and say goodbye." In this case, this list will be put here for now, and I will make a decision after I go back and discuss it with my husband! ”

The corner of the chief steward's eyes twitched, and he said, "But I don't know how long grandma will discuss with grandpa?" He explained, "I'm afraid that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is in a hurry to ask for someone?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this!" Song Yi smiled lukewarmly and said, "Since I received this errand from my mother, how to return it, I also know it in my heart, and I don't need you to think about it all the time!" ”

"The little one is too talkative." The chief steward heard her dissatisfaction, thought about it, and finally chose to back down, "What else does grandma have to say?" ”

Song Yi smiled and waved his hand: "Go down!" ”

After sending the chief steward, she handed the list to Qiao Qin, "Check these shop keepers to see if they want to leave, or if the chief steward wants them to go?" ”

Those shops are all in the imperial capital, and the business is booming, Song Yixiao has heard about it before the door, and he didn't know that it was the Jian family's - but he knew that the shopkeepers inside were all old people who had been doing it for more than ten or twenty years, and if they went to Jian Yiyuna, the shop might be an empty shell!

How can Song Yixiao not figure it out?

Qiao Qin went down, but Zhao's mother came to talk about the round house again, Song Yixiao was feeling helpless, and fortunately the outside came in: "Someone sent a brocade box and a letter to the door, saying that it was something to pay grandma." ”

"Pay me something?" Song Yixiao was confused, but in order not to let Zhao's mother entangle, she immediately put on a solemn look, "What about people?" Call it up! ”

The subordinate who told the confession was embarrassed: "Menzi said that the man left something and left, and he didn't have time to stop it." ”

Song Yixiao looked at the brocade box presented, but he was not unfamiliar: "Isn't this the box with hairpins in Ye Ji's jewelry shop?" ”

"Yes." Jin Xun also recognized it, "The shopkeeper of this shop, it is said that the ancestor once worked as an errand in the Shanggong Bureau, although I don't know if it's true or not, it's a fact that the craftsmanship is good." Most of my grandmother's makeup was bought from their family. ”

She has always had a fast mouth and a slow hand, and she opened it as she spoke—sure enough, on the brocade with a blue background entwined with lotus patterns, the red silk thread buckled a jade begonia hairpin, the carving is exquisite, the flowers and leaves are lifelike, the hairpin body is round, and the stamens are made of extremely fine gold wires, and the wisps are extremely realistic.

"Grandma has one similar to this one!" Jin Xun saw it and blurted out, "But it was broken in the courtyard of the Su family's son last time, is it ......?"

Song Yi glared at her with a smile and signaled her to shut up, raised her hand and opened the letter presented with the box to take a look, and sure enough, it was written by Su Shaoge - for the sake of her reputation, Su Shaoge blamed the responsibility for breaking the hairpin to the servant woman in the other courtyard in the letter, saying that it was compensated on behalf of the subordinates, and apologized repeatedly for Ye Ji now only having this kind of jade begonia hairpin and not being able to find the hairpin that was broken.

"This Xie Yuanlang is also polite!" Song Yi smiled, rubbed his forehead with a headache, and thought, "Not to mention the help he helped that day, I am embarrassed to worry about him for the hairpin; Let's just say that the reason why the begonia hairpin was broken, in the final analysis, I hit him first, but how to make him pay? ”

Originally, this matter could be solved, just prepare a gift and return it.

But Jian Xuan was clearly wary of Su Shaoge, so he told him not to get too close to him, such a back and forth, no matter how cordial it was, the relationship would not be far away.

"He couldn't have done it on purpose, did he?" Song Yi couldn't help but be suspicious when he thought about it, and after a long silence, Fang said, "Put away the things first, and wait for the husband to come back!" ”

Seeing that Zhao's mother opened her mouth, it seemed that she wanted to continue the previous topic, she had a headache, and said, "Jin Xun brought the list left by the chief steward to show her mother!" ”

After Zhao's mother took it, she flipped through it and said in surprise: "This is?" ”

"Most of these people will not be in the house for two days." Song Yi said with a smile, "The vacant position in the backyard, my husband means to let me choose from the people who accompany the marriage, the marriage is insufficient, and I am also in charge of buying people - Qiaoqin and Jinxun are both young, I feel that you have to help me in this matter to rest assured!" ”

"Don't worry, the old slave will take care of you!" Mother Zhao said solemnly when she heard this, "Never let those things that are not sloppy and flamboyant get in and make a good backyard a miasma!" ”

"This has to be done quickly!" Song Yi smiled and nodded, "Otherwise, I don't have anyone to listen to except Qiaoqin and Jinxun, but it's troublesome!" ”

…… Finally sent Zhao's mother away, Song Yixiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and caught a glimpse of Jin Xun covering his mouth and snickering, and he was not angry: "The birthday gift list for my grandmother, have you ever prepared it?!" ”

Mrs. Pang's birthday, Song Yi smiled and didn't have to attend, the ceremony was made - she really didn't like this grandmother, so she didn't bother to bother, and saw that there were no taboos on the list prepared by Jinxun, so she nodded.

But this reminded her: "Soon after my grandmother's birthday, it seems to be the Queen Mother's Holy Birthday?" ”

"It's not just Birthday." Jin Xun reminded, "After that, only seven days later, it will be Your Majesty's Halloween!" In the next half a month, it will be the princess's birthday! ”

Song Yi smiled and sighed: "I know-Ming'er asked someone to open the treasury and count it, I'll see how to give these three gifts!" ”

She felt that these things were very trivial, who would want to come back that day, listen to her talk about her birthday first, and sneered: "Do you want to worry about only these three birthdays this year?" Don't forget among the younger generations: Ping'an'er is October 19's birthday; The second sister-in-law is October 28's birthday; There are also five sisters who are the fifteenth day of the lunar month! ”

He also said, "The fifth day of the first month is the Thousand Autumn Festival; After that, in February, I will celebrate the birthday of my eldest sister; Second Brother He in March; In April, the princess of Hengshan doesn't care if people go or not, and you have to say something about growing up there; May dad and third uncle; June 3rd; Aunt July Daiguo...... Strictly speaking, not to mention other people's feelings, just the birthday banquet, no month is free! ”

Song Yixiao silently swallowed blood when he heard this: "Your treasury ...... Is it enough? ”

"I can still afford to come and go, you don't have to worry about sticking a dowry to maintain decency." Jian glanced at her playfully, and said, "Besides, it's not that we can't just go in and out, and the rewards of the New Year's holidays, the Yanguo Mansion has always taken a lot more!" ”

"Speaking of industry, I was about to tell you: the chief steward sent the list today, and there were a number of shopkeepers and village heads in it, but I didn't agree when I saw that I was not at ease, and said that I would discuss with you before deciding." Song Yixiao went to get the list and handed it to him, "Look at it, but what's the problem?" ”

Jian Xubai opened it and glanced at it a few times, and his face was a little ugly: "I'll send someone to check tomorrow...... Heng Zhu Niang didn't specify the date! ”

"Another thing is that Su Shaoge sent a hairpin." Song Yixiao continued, "The last time I borrowed his yard, I accidentally broke a jade hairpin in a panic, I think I didn't see the road well, but he was very polite, saying that his servant was wrong, and he would find a similar one, so he sent someone to send it over." It's just that you told me to stay away from him, and I don't know what to do with this? ”

"Just a hairpin, since he wants to give it, then you can stay." Jian Xubai sneered slightly, "When someone does things well, it doesn't hurt to reward it!" ”

Song Yi smiled and wrote it down, and said: "I am selecting people from the dowry left and right, and who will do the best at that time will just give this hairpin!" ”

…… Although it is a bit unkind to do this, she will live in the hands of Jian Xubai, so naturally she must prevail in Jian Xubai's meaning.

Jian Xubai was very satisfied with her meekness, showed a slight smile, and when he thought of something, he told her casually: "The matter between the Sikong family and the Wei family has come to an end!" ”

"Oh?" Song Yi smiled and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

"The second lady of the Sikong family married King Liang instead of her sister, and the big wedding was held as scheduled." Jian Xubai said, "At the same time, the Wei family will give one-third of the makeup that was originally prepared for Miss Wei to Miss Sikong Er as compensation!" ”

Song Yi smiled and said, "That second lady is very angry about her sister's death. Even if Sister Dai is out of the cabinet now, I am afraid that the block in my chest will not be easy to wear. After making a concubine with the crown princess, maybe there will be any disharmony? ”

"You rushed to the East Palace to ask for an explanation before the Dao Sikong family, is it really just to feel sorry for your daughter?" Jian Xubai said without shock, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Zhenyang is old, but the two generations of the Sikong family have no outstanding talents, for the sake of their descendants, it is easy to ask the queen mother to be a matchmaker, and the granddaughter is promised to King Liang - as a result, this girl is blessed, and the Sikong family will not have other girls, since there is still one, even if it is a concubine, how can this not want to ask for continued marriage?" ”

He said, "Speaking of which, King Liang is really wronged, his good fiancée is gone, and he is forced to change to a concubine for him, not only is he a concubine, but he is not raised by his mother...... I heard today that Concubine Cui Guifei coaxed him in Xifu Palace for most of the day, and I don't know if I want to open it now? ”
