Qiu Tao groaned softly, "Big lady......"

She didn't understand that the son of the world was born to the Xu family if he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and the next day the Lord would definitely bring supreme glory to the Xu family, why did the Xu family not care about him and didn't expect it.

Xu Shi glanced at Qiu Tao and understood her confusion, but Xu Shi just sighed lightly and did not respond.

She didn't know what to say, she didn't belong here, and the system prompted that she could only go back if she drove Jiang Wan away, prevented Hou Ye from favoring his wife and destroying his concubine, and saved enough tens of millions of silver taels.

Xu didn't care about the fate of the Hou Mansion in the future, nor did she care if Song Huaijin was promising, she just wanted to go back.

If she wants to go back, she has to go off the rails to make money, which will definitely cause a lot of holes, she doesn't belong here, and her ability to deal with it must be inferior to others.

Therefore, she wants to find someone who can help her deal with the aftermath and is worthy of her dependence.

Although Hou Ye protects her and respects her, he has the world in his heart, and now that he has a new love, he must not allow the Xu family to make mistakes, so the Xu family does not dare to gamble.

Although Song Huaijin is biological, he only thinks about his love and love with Jiang Juan, where does he care what the Xu family does?

Although Xiao Yicheng is not a boy of the Song family, nor was he born and raised by the Xu family, he is grateful, affectionate, and has a stable temperament, which is the only thing that can be considered.

In the past, Xu was confident that Xiao Yicheng would respect her and help her as always, but now, she was suddenly unsure.

Xiao Yicheng obviously found that many incidents pointed to the Xu family, but he didn't come to interrogate, which was not a good sign.

Xu Shi was a little flustered, and now that she had accumulated more than half of the silver in her pocket, she must not have any forks at this time.

After pondering for a while, Xu called the housekeeper to discuss it again, and said, "I thought about it for a long time, and I feel that the business of the money bank is temporarily put on hold, so you don't have to worry about this matter anymore." ”

Although the housekeeper had doubts, he didn't want to ask again, so he nodded his head.

Afterwards, Qiu Tao was surprised: "Big lady, why don't you do such a lucrative business?" ”

Xu chuckled: "Who said I won't do it, I just don't want to make this money in the name of the Hou Mansion." ”

"Help me find someone to take care of this shop, can you do the matter of changing the soup without changing the medicine?"

Qiu Tao immediately understood and nodded to receive the order.

Early the next morning, Xu came to visit the old lady as usual, but when he entered the door, he saw that Xiao Yicheng was also there.

Her heart chuckled, and her face instantly became unnatural.

"Didn't Chen'er say that he was going to be busy with the plague and the homeless people, why are he still in the house?"

Xiao Yicheng looked back and chuckled, "I was originally going to go with Master Zhang, but I couldn't rest assured that my grandmother, so I wanted to come over and have a look before leaving." ”

Xu Shi walked over and smiled dryly: "There are people in the house to serve, no matter how bad it is, there is still me, what are you worried about?" ”

"That's what I said, but he didn't listen!"

The old lady clasped Xiao Yicheng's hand and sighed with a smile, "He said that his subordinates have complained a lot recently, and he is worried that they will not be careful. ”

"You say, those people are all old people in the house, how can they not do their best work? How dare you not be dedicated? ”

Xu Shi's heart trembled when he heard this, and the discomfort in his eyes was fleeting, "Mother said yes, however, Chen'er is filial, he is worried about you!" ”

"Humph! Where is his filial piety, he clearly thinks that my old bones are useless. ”

Although the old lady complained, the corners of her eyes were full of love and joy.

Xu lowered his eyes, but his face was even more complicated.

Xiao Yicheng glanced at Xu's and said lightly: "It's not that I'm making a big fuss, but I heard people in the house complaining, saying that they felt uncomfortable deducting wages for no reason, and I was worried that they would be angry with my grandmother because of this." ”

"Withholding wages for no reason?"

The old lady smiled instantly, and turned her head to look at Xu, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Shi frowned instantly, she had been waiting for Xiao Yicheng to come to her yesterday, but she didn't expect that no one would come here to put pressure before she arrived.

She couldn't help pursing her lips and muttered for a long time before she said, "The business in the house has encountered some difficulties recently, so I moved to deduct my salary." ”

Xiao Yicheng sneered when he heard this: "The stepmother is not open? ”

The old lady was suddenly shocked, "Even if the business is not good, we still have land, the Hou Ye is rich, and Aunt Qian is also rich, so it will not fall to the point of deducting labor money!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Shi took a sharp breath and replied calmly: "I can't say a word or two about this matter, don't worry, mother, I will explain to my subordinates, and when the Hou Mansion gets through this difficulty, I will restore their wages in full." ”

Xiao Yicheng chuckled lightly, and said with an unclear meaning: "So, when it comes to fundraising to appease the displaced people, the Hou Mansion can't make up the money to donate?" ”

Xu's brows tightened, not knowing what Xiao Yicheng wanted to do, let alone whether to nod or shake his head.

"How can there be displaced people?"

Two or three years after the fall of Beiliang, there were few displaced people in Nanzhao who entered Beijing.

The old lady got up instantly, she hurriedly pulled Xiao Yicheng's hand tightly, and asked urgently: "Chen'er, is there chaos outside again?" ”

"Grandmother, don't panic, it's not a big mess."

Xiao Yicheng shook his head and reassured, "It is a group of displaced people in Qinghe Town, a suburb of Beijing, who are infected with fever, which has caused many local people to be infected. ”

"The doctor said that a large number of rare medicinal materials are needed to solve this disease, and the price of medicinal materials is high, and the amount required is also large, and the imperial court proposed to let the courtiers and officials raise silver taels to solve this problem in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that the world isn't in chaos." ”

When the old lady was young, the war was raging, and the Song family was loyal for generations, but only Anyang Hou died due to the war, and she can't hear the word "war" now.

She tilted her body and muttered: "The imperial court has always treated the Hou Mansion well, since the imperial court has an order, we can't sit idly by." ”

"Xu, how much silver do you think the Hou Mansion can come up with?"

Xu's mind is even heavier, Jiang Juan's 50,000 taels have not been recovered so far, and Xu's has never been able to let go, where is he willing to give another tael of silver.

Xiao Yicheng chuckled, "I remember that my stepmother just earned 50,000 taels, I wonder if I can take it out and do good deeds?" ”

Xu Shi slammed and raised his eyes to stare at Xiao Yicheng.

I saw that Xiao Yicheng's eyes were calm, and he couldn't see any waves at all.

Xu frowned, he knew where the 50,000 taels went, but he still had to mention this matter in front of the old lady, what was he going to do?

The old lady saw Xu's shocked face but didn't say anything, and asked repeatedly: "It's not that the business turnover can't be opened, and now it will be reduced to the point of deducting labor money, how can there be more than 50,000 silver?" ”

"Xu, what's going on?"

In the last sentence, the old lady used almost all her strength.

Xu Shi was hindered by the old lady's majesty, so he could only force himself to be calm, and said: "Fifty thousand taels was just earned two days ago, and I haven't had time to enter the account yet." ”

"That's good, just make money."

The old lady raised her eyebrows and was overjoyed, "These 50,000 taels will be used to do good deeds!" ”
