Chapter 160: Newlywed Yan'er (3)
Gu Xiyan really guessed correctly. When Qi Mao was born in the quiet room, no one was allowed to enter, including Qi Xiao.
Although he is married now, he has not confessed to Siping's personal servant, saying that Gu Xiyan can be an exception. As Siping, of course, you have to follow the original regulations. But Siping knew everything that happened between Qi Maosheng and Gu Xiyan, so if Gu Xiyan really wanted to break in, he really didn't have the courage to stop it.
Seeing Gu Xiyan standing in front of the wall shadow, Siping breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Gu Xiyan doesn't enter the quiet room, everything is easy to say, let alone just ask a few words.
Besides, don't say that my wife has given herself a few thin noodles now and didn't break into the quiet room, it's just normal, I asked myself to ask, and it's so difficult that I dare to prevaricate!
Siping's attitude towards Gu Xiyan was a little flattering.
"Madame, excuse me? The small ones must be told the truth! ”
Gu Xiyan branched out of Cuiyu and Yanhong, who were following her, and asked Siping quietly: "You are close to your master, do you know why you only eat white porridge and pickles in the morning?" ”
Found out so quickly?
Siping was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw Gu Xiyan looking at her sharply, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was like two people he usually saw, as if he didn't know each other at all, revealing shrewdness.
Isn't it easy to answer?
Siping's attitude made Gu Xiyan even more convinced that this answer was not simple. She asked again: "Ye is not usually a person who avoids oil and meat, why is it so simple to eat in the morning?" ”
Siping's forehead couldn't help sweating.
But in Gu Xiyan's increasingly sharp gaze, he didn't dare not answer.
Looking forward to it, he suddenly saw the high warped corners of the open building.
"Madam, I have said this to your ears, but I can't get out of your mouth!" Siping's expression was weird, and then he leaned into Gu Xiyan's ear regardless of etiquette, "You know, what kind of skill does the master have to practice every morning." You can't eat meat, and if you eat it, you say that you want some qi and blood to roll, and what meridians are broken...... And say that what is the devil! It's a big deal. To the outside world, I dare to say that I am a vegetarian......"
Gu Xiyan smiled: "Then it doesn't matter if you eat meat at noon?" ”
"Of course it doesn't matter!" Mrs. seemed to accept this statement a little, and Siping breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as that period is over, it doesn't matter!" ”
Mrs. Xu, who has been fighting with Mrs. Wei all her life, sent a menu, is it just to prevent Qi Maosheng from having an accident because he ate something he shouldn't eat?
Gu Xiyan was very skeptical. ==
She looked at the stupid and dull Siping who tried her best to show it, and smiled thoughtfully. Said: "Siping, how long have you been on an errand by your side?" ”
Siping smiled honestly: "Back to Mrs. Hui's words, it's been twelve years since the New Year." ”
"Well, it's been twelve years!" Gu Xiyan sighed a little, "It's been so long, I must believe in you very much!" ”
Siping said modestly: "The little stupid and dull, Meng Ye does not give up, and helps run errands on weekdays!" ”
Gu Xiyan sighed softly and said, "Siping." I'm afraid you don't know yet, Mrs. Xu sent me a menu, which is full of green vegetables and radishes...... You say, you can't eat meat because of your practice, who did Mrs. Xu hear about such a big thing? ”
Siping was stunned.
Gu Xiyan said earnestly: "Siping, if you speak in the future, you should be more cautious!" ”
looked at Gu Xiyan's sparkling eyes. Siping only felt a chill down his spine. He barely smiled and said, "Mrs. is a lesson!" ”
Gu Xiyan smiled at him and turned away.
So when Qi Maosheng came out of the quiet room, Siping knelt at Qi Maosheng's feet with a "poof" sound......
Qi Maosheng returned to the house thoughtfully. Gu Xiyan was sitting on the kang and talking to Hongyu and Cuiyu, and there was a pen, ink, pen and inkstone on the kang table.
Gu Xiyan heard the movement, looked up and saw that it was Qi Maosheng coming in, and a smile appeared on his face: "Cuiyu, pour a basin of hot water for the master to wipe his face." ”
Jade left in response, and Hongyu hurriedly bent her knees to salute Qi Maosheng, and then took the things on the table and went out.
Qi Maosheng went to the kang. Laughing: "What are you doing?" ”
Gu Xiyan smiled embarrassedly: "I'm calculating how much our annual expenditure is." I have to have a number in my heart, what will be in the future. It's easy to look at. ”
Qi Maosheng smiled and said, "What's the point of this." In the future, the chewing in our house will be given by the public, and if you have a dowry, you can keep it for yourself to save some private money. ”
Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "Having said that, it's better to do the math." How much income and how much expenditure there is in a year, you can't be confused! ”
Qi Maosheng thought of the menu mentioned by Siping.
Since Mrs. Xu has made a move, she will not give up.
When the tiger still has a nap, it is impossible for him to protect her for the rest of his life.
Although he doesn't have to be as powerful as Mrs. Wei, he must at least support it until he can turn around......
Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xi's face as white as a pear blossom, and couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Otherwise, you can take charge of the affairs of the mansion when you go back......
Before Qi Maosheng's words fell, the sound of jade's footsteps came from outside the house.
She came in with a wash water.
Gu Xiyan sat on the kang very unconsciously, carefully considering Qi Maosheng's words.
Qi Maosheng wiped his face under Cuiyu's service, got on the kang with a relaxed expression, and squeezed and leaned on the big pillow behind Gu Xiyan. He continued the topic just now: "It's a bit hard to be in charge, but hard work also has the benefit of hard work, and you don't have to use your own private money to buy a needle thread and bead powder since you don't ......" said while holding the green silk behind Gu Xiyan.
Gu Xiyan couldn't help but look back and laughed: "We are in charge of our own affairs, naturally it is good, maybe I can also calculate left and right, and give you the rest of the money every year." However, now is not the time, we must always see what Mrs. Xu means. It is better to take over, and not to put the contradiction on the face. Anyway, there are hundreds of people up and down the Qi family, and everyone in each branch and room is staring at us to live! ”
Favors. It's not a lot of money. Mrs. Xu has been a family for decades, and suddenly asked her to hand over the financial power of the Qi family, which is equivalent to breaking her hands, how could she be willing. And Qi Mansion is a century-old family. There are many servants, the relationship is complicated, and Mrs. Xu has been in business for many years, needless to say, even if the time comes, she will fall into a dilemma. So, the master. It's better to find an opportunity!
"Calculate left and right, give me the rest of the money!" Qi Maosheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "I can't see it, I still know this." ”
"Just look down on me!" Gu Xiyan laughed disgustedly.
"Have you calculated how much we spend in our house each year?" Qi Maosheng said with a smile.
"Well," Gu Xiyan was a little proud, "It's not a favorite, according to the practice of the Wei Mansion, it only costs about one hundred and five hundred taels a year, and if it is according to our Gu Mansion, it will be less, one thousand two hundred taels is enough." But. I think the rules of Qi Mansion are bigger, and if it is full, it will not exceed two thousand five hundred taels! ”
The expression on Qi Maosheng's face was a little strange.
Am I not sure?
Gu Xiyan said a little apprehensively: "What's wrong?" Isn't it outrageous? ”
Qi Maosheng looked at Gu Xiyan's eyes a little serious: "Are you accurate?" ”
Gu Xiyan wasn't sure: "It should be accurate." Monthly money, clothing money for each quarter, firewood, rice, oil and salt...... It seems that everything should be counted! ”
"It turns out that the expenditure in the government is divided into two large parts." Qi Maosheng's face was a little solemn, "The Songzhen Courtyard is managed by the account of the Guogong Mansion, and the other courtyards and houses are managed by the Dexin Courtyard. When I first accepted the title, several uncles were clamoring to split up, and I was also annoyed, so I broke up. Now Dexin Yuan is only in charge of our room. When my father was alive. The annual expenditure of Songzhenin Temple is 20,000 taels of silver, and the expenditure of Tokushin Temple is 50,000 taels of silver per year. After the separation, the first few years were according to the old practice, Xizhao 291 years, I want to use money. Songzhenin Temple was changed to 10,000 taels per year, and Tokushin-in Temple was changed to 30,000 taels per year, and then it decreased in turn, and now Songzhen-in Temple is 6,000 taels per year, and Tokushin-in Temple is 18,000 taels per year. Last year, Mrs. Xu was in charge of the expenses of Dexin Hospital, and told me that the money was not enough. I gave her a total of 12,000 taels. ”
Gu Xiyan suddenly felt a little dazzled.
I want to be at the beginning. She also helped Mrs. Gu manage the house, except for Gu Baozhang's own expenses. In the entire house, including the money from the favorites, you can live comfortably with three or four thousand taels of silver a year.
Mrs. Xu's housekeeper, 18,000 taels is not enough, and 12,000 taels are also supplemented.
But Qi Maosheng's expression was a little weird.
He was a little suspicious of the expenses of Dexin Academy. I once asked the account office of the Guogong Mansion to check the accounts once, but on the surface, there was no problem, and Mr. Li, who was in charge of the accounts at that time, also said that some accounts were not easy to investigate. Now it seems that there must be water in it, no wonder Mrs. Wei always nagged in front of herself, saying that she had used her own body and money to make up for the deficit in Huaiyuan.
He did everything possible to make money, and even sent troops to occupy Gaochang. But the expenditure of the family land flowed into Mrs. Xu's pocket, no, it can even be said that it flowed into Xizhaoren's pocket.
Although it is not much, this practice makes Qi Maosheng's heart angry.
His face turned pale, and he suddenly said, "Xiyan, I want Hongluan to move to Wanqingxuan next door to the pear orchard." ”
Gu Xiyan was stunned.
Why did you suddenly mention Hongluan?
Qi Maosheng saw the surprised expression on Gu Xiyan's face, and thought that she didn't have this consideration at all.
He couldn't help but say anxiously: "Xiyan, I only have this one daughter, and her mother is ...... She is seven years old this year and will not be able to stay at home for a few years. For my sake, take good care of her. ”
Gu Xiyan also lost her mother since she was a child, and she has the heartache of sympathy for Hongluan. When she married Qi Maoshengdi, she had carefully considered this issue. Although she can't guarantee that she will be a qualified mother, she at least promises that she will treat her with a kind heart and will definitely lend a helping hand when she needs herself.
Hearing Qi Maosheng's tone, she was not only anxious, but also worried, and couldn't help but say, "Maosheng, are you worried that I won't get along well with Hongluan?" (4) Reading in the library
