Chapter 29 [The Old Man in the Purple Robe]

Not long after Xu Ziqian left, Chunlan Qiuju and a few other maids and daughters who were brought by Ye Junyi from the Zhou family were also sent over, and the master and servant met each other, and they had to sigh and cry. This Qian Hongying didn't feel much trouble for them, it was nothing more than interrogation and custody all night, and she still let them all come out early this morning.

Ye Junyi stayed in this bright moon for a day, feeling extremely bored, and worried about the old lady, listening to Qingyu said, although the old lady's snake wound was fine, but was frightened, the patient was distressed in the past few days, Junyi wanted to see if the old lady was suffering from coronary heart disease or something.

Early the next morning, Ye Junyi got up and went to the old lady.

The old lady still lives in the wing room of the Buddhist hall, Ye Junyi just arrived at the gate of the courtyard, there are two maids who are usually by the old man's side and four or five strong men standing at the door, seeing Junyi coming, the maids stopped her, and went to the door for a long time before letting her go in alone. Ye Junyi couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, could it be that the old lady was frightened by the events of that night and strengthened her guards?

As soon as she entered the door, she walked a few steps, Jing Liangyi and Zhenyi, and the two girls ran over and pestered her, and she played with them for a while before persuading them to follow the maids.

After a long delay, he finally started to go to the old lady's house, but before he reached the door, he saw a man who was more than half a hundred years old, dressed in a purple robe and had an extraordinary bearing, walked out of the old lady's room. She couldn't help but be shocked, so she lowered her head to avoid it.

"Are you Qian'er's new wife, Ye?" When the man saw her, he did not avoid her, but came to her and asked her.

"Yes," Ye Junyi had to stand there stiffly, bowed his head and replied, "The concubine is exact, dare to ask this ......."

"Let's go see your mother, I just said that I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm very worried."

When the man had finished speaking, he went straight away. What a domineering person, Ye Junyi sighed in his heart and entered the old lady's room.

"Mother, I heard you're not feeling well?" Ye Junyi blessed Mrs. Xu, who was half-lying on the couch.

"Hurry up, kid. Come here. ”

Although the old lady on the couch was half-lying, she was also dressed up, and there were faint tears on her face, and when she walked in, her voice was slightly hoarse and called her over.

Ye Junyi stood up straight, and saw that Qian Hongying was standing there alone next to the old lady, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, when he came in just now, a few people were standing outside the courtyard, and when he came in, he only saw two maids with children, and he also encountered a strange ........

"Child," the old lady beckoned to her when she saw that she was standing there unmoved, "I really wronged you yesterday, and my mother also knew about it not long ago." Hongying, she still doesn't ask her wife for her guilt. ”

"Yesterday, Hongying mishandled it, so I'm sorry for Mrs." That Qian Hongying was still unwilling to give her a blessing and retreated, turning her face to the side.

"Heh," Ye Junyi treated Qian Hongying with a gift, and Fang Shiyun chuckled lightly and said, "It's the daughter-in-law who is not careful, so this happened." Aunt Ying, as a steward, was also anxious when she saw the situation at that time, and her daughter-in-law was fine. ”

"Good boy!" The old lady was very satisfied with her attitude.

Ye Junyi walked to the old lady's couch, the old lady pulled her to sit beside her, and raised her hand to let Qian Hongying out, leaving only the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the room.

"In the future, Qian'er will let you go to Zhang Luo when she says that there will be things in the house," the old lady took her daughter-in-law's hand and said, "This is a complicated matter, you can see if you can deal with it first, if you feel that you don't understand, let Hongying take a look." Although Hongying's words are not good, he is a good hand at doing things, and he can be regarded as a hard worker for me and Qian'er. ”

"Well," Ye Junyi nodded, "Good and bad daughters-in-law can be distinguished." Mother, be relieved. It's just that my mother has been feeling unwell these days? ”

"Hey, mother, this is an old problem, it's just that my heart hurts a little, the doctor has come several times to see it, and now it's fine."

After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at the front with some sadness and distraction: "I'm an old lady, if I go, I have to be relieved." It's just、It's just that you can't rest assured! Now that my mother has seen you coming, her heart has let go of a lot. ”

At this time, Qian Hongying, who was outside the door, came in with medicine. Ye Junyi took it.

"Mother Hugh is going to mention these disheartening words." While talking to her, she fed the old lady, "Daughter-in-law, my mother's body is indeed fine, but it is not appropriate to be too sad and think too much." ”

"The imperial doctor also said the same," the old lady finished drinking the medicine and took the candied fruit handed by Ye Junyi, "There is a big mess in the house, I have Hongying and them here, daughter-in-law, you take over on the first day, let's go quickly, don't worry about me, the old lady." ”

As she spoke, she asked Qian Hongying to give her a pair of cards, and there was the Lu family who was always by the old lady's side waiting at the door outside.

"This is Mama Lu, you have seen it, let her take you to the account room to familiarize yourself with those things later." The old lady pointed at Lu and said.

"Yes, the daughter-in-law will retire first."

"Well, go ahead."

The old lady waved her hand, and Ye Junyi walked out.

Let's say that Ye Junyi said goodbye to the old lady and walked out of the courtyard, but was stopped by a big man who was guarding the gate of the courtyard just now.

"Ma'am, go this way."

The big man said that he didn't care whether she agreed with it or not, and led the way ahead. Ye Junyi also wanted to know who this old man was, who was able to walk freely with a guard in the inner courtyard of the Yasukuni Mansion.

Ye Junyi followed him, but he came to the begonia forest where he came last time, and the big man stopped Ye Junyi's subordinates, but motioned for her to go forward alone.

She walked a few steps among the begonia flowers, turned a corner, and saw the purple-robed old man sitting at the stone table.

"Hello uncle, Xu Ye's is polite." Ye Junyi stepped forward and blessed him.

The purple-robed old man shook the folding fan calmly, and Ye Ziqian often had such an action, especially when talking about business, he was sitting on the Taishi chair.

"Well, it's rare for Qian'er to value it so much, and it's a good one." The old man pointed to the stone bench opposite him, "Sit down, I'm Qian'er's uncle, and you can call it the same." ”

"Yes, thank you, uncle." Ye Junyi sat down.

"I heard that I wronged you yesterday," the old man looked at her with a pair of shrewd eyes, "Qian'er is busy with business, and he usually takes care of the affairs of the house, and when this happens, he is also very uncomfortable." ”

"Yes, my nephew understands." She lowered her head and replied respectfully, for some reason, she felt a kingly aura in this old man, so she didn't dare to behave in any way. The nephew is grateful to the Hou Ye in her heart, and it is he who gives her nephew a warm embrace and a home to live in. The marquis worked hard for the emperor and the people in the court, and his nephew and daughter-in-law must handle the affairs of the palace properly and will not let him have worries. ”

"Good!" The old man slapped the folding fan into the palm of his hand and stood up, "That's very good." Your mother is not in good health, so you need to take care of it. She ........"

"That's how my nephew and daughter-in-law are." Ye Junyi saw that he was about to leave, so he also stood up.

"Well," the old man listened, but just stayed and watched the begonia flowers bloom all over the garden, "the begonia flowers are blooming again!" She also came out to see it? ”

Turning his head, he saw Jun Yi looking at him blankly, he felt a little out of shape, put one hand behind him, and put the hand holding the folding fan to his lips and faked a few coughs, "Ahem, then you treat her mother and son well, I will not treat you badly." If you have any requirements or lack of items, tell Manager Luo, let him find Master Wen from the Internal Affairs Office, and let him come to me if the Internal Affairs Office can't do it, do you know? ”

"Yes, my nephew knows." Ye Junyi was taken aback when he heard him say that he had something to do with the Internal Affairs Office, and he knew in his heart that this person's identity was not an ordinary noble, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he lowered his head and stood there in a proper manner.

"Okay, go ahead, I'm going back too." As he spoke, the old man put his hands on his back, looked at the begonia flowers while staying in a row, and walked away with steps that seemed to be unwilling to move.

Ye Junyi kept watching him go far before he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked back. There are so many delays today, I don't know how to deal with the affairs of this big mansion.

Ye Junyi followed the Lu family to the account room, and there was already a room full of stewards waiting. She had never seen this battle before, and she only beat the drums in her heart.

"Madam, this is Luo Yixin, the chief steward of the outer courtyard, Luo is in charge." Lu was in charge of the introduction, first introducing a middle-aged man in his forties in the room, who was wearing a dark blue robe and was burly and strong.

"Madam, the small one is in charge of the various business transactions of the Yasukuni Hou Mansion, this is the business of the Hou Mansion and the income and expenditure of the outer courtyard in the last month. This is a secondary book, and the main book is locked in the outer court tent. Steward Luo took a booklet and gave it to Ye Junyi, "There are still stewards in the outer courtyard waiting for the small ones to deal with some things, the small ones go first, if the lady has any questions or sends, just tell the small ones." ”

Ye Junjia took the account book and nodded: "In this way, Manager Luo, please take care of it, I will come to call you if there is something." ”

Steward Luo left, followed by the various housekeepers and mothers-in-law in the inner courtyard, the kitchen, the pulp washing room, the various aunts' courtyards, and so on. Ye Junyi found that although the matter was complicated, it was not difficult to manage. It is rare that this Qian Hongying actually sorted out these accounts and things clearly, and there was nothing unclear about it.

After sorting out the affairs of these housekeepers one by one, it was already past noon, and Ye Junyifang dragged his tired body back to Mingyuezhai in a small car.

After lunch, she changed her clothes and went to lie down on the sandalwood bed. She didn't have time to look through the account book that Steward Luo gave her, so she took it out and opened it now. Obediently, it's okay not to look at it, but it's really shocking to see it. That night, Xu Ziqian told him about being a soldier at the border, and she didn't believe it, but when she saw it, she believed it for seven or eight points. I saw that in addition to five jewelry shops, three silk villages, and a horse racing patent, the main assets under Xu Ziqian's name actually had a jade mine and a gold mine.

I knew that the dowry would have made him come back a little. Ye Junyi thought about it and fell asleep on the bed.
