Mrs. Shangshu's purpose is actually very simple, she just wants to deliberately embarrass Xi lightly.

Since her daughter Xi Chuyu's plan to beat Xi Qingyan has failed, then she, as a mother, should naturally use more clever means to control Xi Qingyan.

Xi Qingyan was in charge for the first time, although she repaid the monthly money of Shangshu Mansion last month, but Mrs. Shangshu knew how much money Shangshu Mansion still had.

She has been in charge for so many years, and she has been tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall.

In her opinion, Xi Qingyan can prevaricate the monthly money of Shangshu Mansion this time, and nine times out of ten it is the dowry of Xi Qingyan's mother!

Since this is the case, she asked Xi Qingyan to squander all her own mother's dowry!

"Xi Qingyan, how can I say that I am also your mother, I will not watch you as a child work all day long, and I will come forward for you in this begging festival."

The abacus in Mrs. Shangshu's heart hit her face.

How could Xi Qingyan not understand?

"No, madam, this matter is not troublesome Madame, isn't it just a trip for the Begging Festival? Madame can make a list, and then I will send someone to do this little thing."

Xi lightly refuted Mrs. Shangshu's words.

"Did you send someone? Xi Qingyan, do you know how important the begging festival is in Kyoto?"

"My dynasty has been fighting for many years, and the people are not prosperous, Your Majesty hopes that with the help of this begging festival, men and women of the right age can have a beautiful encounter!"

"On the day of the begging festival, the people of the government will set up five begging banquets on the streets of Kyoto, and those are all for the men and women of the people to have a *** occasion."

"At that time, the ladies of Kyoto and the ladies of Kyoto who have no marriage leave will go to the banquet prepared by the harem ladies!"

"Do you know what kind of sedan chair we will take to enter the palace on the day of the Qiqiao Festival, as a family member of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites? Do you know what color and pattern of towel we are carrying? What kind of spices are smoked on the body? What style and material of brocade clothes are you wearing?"

Mrs. Shangshu saw that Xi Qingyan was disobedient to herself, and she was displeased, so she scolded Xi Qingyan and covered her face.

"Xi Qingyan, you are a fledgling daughter's family, Mrs. Ben is teaching you, don't be ignorant!"

Xi smiled lightly.

All along, the expression on Xi Qingyan's face was faint, but when Mrs. Shangshu threatened her, Xi Qingyan actually smiled.

"You...... What are you laughing at?"

Mrs. Shangshu did not frighten Xi Qingyan by herself, but when she laughed, she was stunned all of a sudden, in order not to lose her majesty, she questioned Xi Qingyan very imposingly.

"Xi Qingyan, you must know that you have lost not only your own people, but also the face of our Shangshu Mansion!"

"Madam, don't worry, I'm not your daughter Xi Chuyu, and I won't let Shangshufu be embarrassed on such an occasion, as long as no one deliberately causes trouble for me, I believe I can handle this matter."

"After all, Madame, you didn't know the specifications and etiquette of the Kyoto Begging Festival when you were in charge of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites!"

Xi Qingyan said a few words and sent Mrs. Shangshu away.

"Anyone will have a first time, for me, that is, you need to study the specifications and etiquette of the begging festival, and for Madame, you should adapt to the fact that Shangshufu is no longer your master in the future!"

"You're ......!"

Mrs. Shangshu was so angry by Xi Qingyan's words.

Xi Qingyan is really too lawless! How could she say such a thing to her, the head of the Shangshu Mansion!

"Miss Ben still has a lot of things to deal with today, come on, send the second lady and her wife to the Peony Garden!"

Xi Qingyan didn't want to see the group of people in front of her at all, so she directly asked the two to be sent away.

Then he pulled Chun Tao into the room and threw a jade porcelain bottle in Chun Tao's arms.

"Miss......?"

Chun Tao was beaten by the actions of the eldest lady

was caught off guard, and for a while he didn't understand what Xi Qingyan was intending to do.

"What is in this bottle is medicine, rubbing it on the face can not only invigorate blood and eliminate blood stasis, but also reduce swelling, you are the big girl of Hanlian Garden, if you go out with a swollen face, others will definitely laugh at you at that time."

After Chun Tao understood Xi Qingyan's intentions, her face was full of smiles.

"No, it won't!"

"I'm the eldest lady, they don't dare to laugh at me! As long as the eldest lady is here, my Chuntao will have something to rely on, and I won't be bullied!"

Today, in order to avenge her, the eldest lady directly beat the second lady.

Chun Tao was shocked by the eldest lady's demeanor, and it was also at that moment that she believed that no matter what happened to her, the eldest lady would avenge her.

"Miss, Chun Tao is going to apply the medicine, and when I finish applying the medicine, I'll do something for the eldest lady!"

Chun Tao ran away in a puff of smoke.

Regarding Chun Tao's thoughts, Xi Qingyan was also very helpless.

"No, you can rest in Hanlian Garden, after all, on the day of the Begging Festival, you still have to accompany me to the banquet in the palace."

"There are so many people in Hanlian Garden, since they are all people who are light-faced by me, then there is no reason to only take monthly money and not work!"

"Yes, Miss!"

In Hanlian Garden, a master and a servant cooperate very tacitly. Look at the book

In the Peony Garden, Xi Chuyu's mother and daughter, who did not get any benefits, held back their anger.

Mrs. Shangshu, who rarely gets angry, also dropped all the teacups in her yard after returning to her yard!

"Mother, is it possible that this matter is left at that? The daughter is unwilling! Xi Qingyan, how can that *** keep bullying our mother and daughter?"

Xi Chuyu saw that she had returned in vain today, and the fire in her stomach was accumulating more and more.

"No, it won't."

"I finally became the head of the Kyoto Rite Ministry Shangshu Mansion, how could I let Xi Qingyan take over the power of the family with a small hoof?"

After Mrs. Shangshu dropped the teacup, she had an idea in her heart.

"Mother, do you already know how to deal with Xi Qingyan?"

"Chu Yu, you said that in our Shangshu Mansion, who is the one who is really in charge?"

Mrs. Shangshu did not answer her daughter's words, but threw a question to Xi Chuyu, Xi Chuyu knew that her mother had an idea, so she smiled and hugged Mrs. Shangshu's arm.

"Of course it's you, mother, you are the master mother of our Shangshu Mansion!"

"Wrong, the real master of Shangshu Mansion is your father!"

"Chu Yu, don't apply medicine to the slap on your face, wait for your father to come back from the next dynasty in a while, and our mother and daughter will join forces and pull Xi Qingyan off the horse with your father's hand!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you, mother!"

Mrs. Shangshu's mother and daughter made up their minds, and Lord Shangshu Xi had just finished the court, and before he had time to drink tea, when he was resting, Xi Chuyu stood up to her slapped-faced face, and the pear blossoms came to Lord Xi with rain.

"Daddy......

This sentence of the father shouted a special grievance, and Lord Xi was immediately unhappy when he saw the slap marks on the face of the second daughter.

"What's on your face? Who the hell hit it?"

"This is the Ministry of Rites, who dares to do anything to my daughter?"

When Lord Xi was furious, Mrs. Shangshu walked in from outside the door, crying as she walked.

"Master, I really can't live these days! Master, the concubine and Chu Yu no longer have any majesty in this family, and they will be slapped if they say a word or two casually, how can they live like this!"

"Master, otherwise you'd better divorce me! When the time comes, I don't want anything, you just give Chu Yu to me, even if I take Chu Yu to ask for food outside, it is better than being bullied in Shangshu Mansion!"

Mrs. Shangshu's mother and son cried and wiped their tears, and said while crying.

"Madam, are you saying that the wound on Chu Yu's face was caused by someone from our Shangshu Mansion? Who dares

If you let him come out like this to my daughter, I want to see who he is!"

"Father, it was none other than the eldest sister Xi Qingyan who beat me."

"Today, my mother and I went to the eldest sister's Hanlian Garden, because seeing that the begging festival is coming, my mother and I also need to buy clothes to attend the begging festival banquet in the palace, the eldest sister is now the housekeeper of the family, our mother and daughter want to tell her about it, who knows that she didn't say a word, and slapped me directly!"

"Daddy, you're going to call the shots for me!"

"When Xi Qingyan was the housekeeper, Daddy, you said that you had to tell Xi Qingyan about the expenses up and down the house, I told her in a good voice today, but she treated me like this!"

Xi Chuyu's words made Lord Xi's brows furrow, and Mrs. Shangshu knew that this was a manifestation of her husband's displeasure, so she quietly added fuel to the fire.

"Master, the concubine is old, I originally thought that my lord, you would fancy Xi Qingyan's ability to run the family, so I pushed the boat down the river to unload the burden of supporting the family."

"But she is really too young, she is not thoughtful enough to do things, and she treats her siblings so lightly!"

"Look at how she slapped Chu Yu's face, could it be that she was jealous of Chu Yu's face, so she couldn't do it with such a heavy hand?"

"Master, if Chu Yu also becomes an ugly monster who describes horror like Qing Yan, our Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites will really be finished!"

Mrs. Shangshu's words made Lord Xi's brows furrow deeper.

"Someone, go and find the eldest lady, I have something to ask her!"

When Xi Qingyan was calculating the expenses of the mansion in Hanlian Garden, he was called to Lord Xi by your servants at home.

"I've seen my father."

Xi Qingyan saluted Lord Xi, and glanced at Mrs. Shangshu and Xi Chuyu.

"Xi Qingyan, for your father to let you take charge of the family affairs, not for you to kill your brothers and sisters, this begging festival is a rare event in my dynasty, Mrs. and your sister let you buy a dress for them is the right thing, but you, the housekeeper, make it difficult for them in every way, are you announcing a personal vendetta?"

Master Shang Shuxi knew that her daughter didn't like her stepmother.

"Father, do you know how much it costs Madam and Xi Chuyu to buy a suit? Five thousand taels, a full five thousand taels of silver, father, your year's worth of money is not enough for two or three of your wife's clothes!"

Xi Qingyan sneered and spoke.

"Five thousand taels?!"

Lord Xi was also shocked by this sum of money.

"Yes, father, Mrs. asked me for 5,000 taels today, many people have heard about it, and my daughter is definitely not lying!"

Xi said lightly.

"Old ...... Master, listen to my explanation, the reason why the concubine costs five thousand taels is because she beat Chu Yu lightly, I can't be angry!"

Mrs. Shangshu hurriedly explained.

"Actually...... In fact, on weekdays, it only takes a thousand taels of silver to buy a trip for the begging festival."

"Madam, you kept asking me for five thousand taels, and now you say one thousand taels in front of my father, which is a difference of several times!"

Xi Qingyan deliberately squeezed Mrs. Shangshu and said.

"But, father, you know what? In fact, this thousand taels of silver, our Shangshu Mansion also spent unjustly money!"
