Chapter 1276 Chapter 1276
Because of this matter, Pei Jian called Xiao Yinxiu. The father-in-law and daughter-in-law should have avoided each other, but the old lady in the mansion was useless, so he had to take over and ask about these trivial matters in the mansion.
"Have you ever seen the woman outside Chen'er?"
Xiao Yinxiu felt a surge of grievances when she heard Pei Jian's gentle words. "My aunt, I have never seen him. I just heard about the prince's quarrels a few times."
Pei Jian sighed, "Chen'er is playful by nature, and your aunt is not helpful in this mansion. You should discuss everything with your sister-in-law. But I'm afraid Chen'er has forced you many times on this matter."
"My father is very observant and I am grateful to him as my daughter-in-law."
"That's all."
Pei Jian waved his hand while tending to the flowers and plants, "I have already told Xingniang and Dahai, they will handle it. You don't have to worry about it."
deal with?
Is that what you meant?
Xiao Yinxiu looked stunned, "Father..., the prince said that the girl is pregnant, do you really want to bring her back?"
"When did I ever say I would take it?"
Pei Jian smiled faintly, his face was cold and indifferent, and people dared not say much, "Chen'er is not good at doing business either. He is far worse than Hua'er. Now I have also asked Dahai to take it back, and then make plans."
Pei Chen, even though he has little talent, has a good family background and is the crown prince.
In the past, he had spent a lot of money, and except for not lending money, he would take a share of anything else he asked for.
Now if I think about it again, I lost more than I earned.
"It is because of this money that he is able to spend money everywhere. Dahai will inform you when this matter is settled." After hearing this, Xiao Yinxiu obediently agreed.
"Uncle made the decision for Xiu'er. Xiu'er is really ashamed."
"As a family, harmony is the most important thing. I asked you to come here today not because of this matter. It's July now and there's not much business going on in the capital. You can find some time to come and check your aunt's private vault with Dahai and the others."
What? The old lady’s private vault!
"Uncle, my aunt is still here, what are you doing——"
"Your aunt is now a vegetarian and a Buddhist. These material possessions will only tire her body. Yue Niang and Guan Zhou are not as close to your aunt as you are, so this matter can only be left to you."
If Pei Chen said that women outside the Duke's Mansion could not enter, she would be happy for a moment.
To be asked to look into her aunt's private vault at this moment was like being struck by lightning. She wanted to ask, but she did not have the courage in front of the head of the family.
"Has Che'er's income been sent to your house in the past few years?"
Xiao Yinxiu perked up and said yes.
"The farms and shops left by Aunt Qin have not had very good harvests, especially the two farms in Qing'an, which have suffered disasters year after year, and the grain they send is getting less and less every year."
"Whatever is sent, you should report it to Dahai and the accountant, and make an account with him. San'er is far away from the mansion now, but these are all left by his mother. There is no reason for them to be confiscated by the mansion."
"Yes."
After he finished speaking, he asked Pei Hai to come in and gave them a brief explanation before waving his hand and letting the two of them leave.
After leaving Zhengxian Pavilion and parting with Pei Hai, Xiao Yinxiu's face suddenly turned gloomy, and she gritted her teeth, "They are actually going to confiscate my aunt's private vault!"
Shuangyue didn't dare to say anything else, and only whispered to persuade, "Maybe the master has figured it out, and wants to divide it among his brothers."
"Which brothers? The two born by my aunt, or that bastard?"
"Madam! Be careful with your words!"
Xiao Yinxiu was no longer in the mood to go to Biluozhai. After entering her room, she could no longer hold back, "Why can't I say it? Is the third child my aunt's? If it is really confiscated, give him a cup. Believe it or not, my aunt will be so angry that she will die immediately!"
Deceiving too much!
Deceiving too much!
Xiao Yinxiu paced back and forth while repeating these four words, "Aunt..., Aunt's hard work!" Pei Jian was not wrong, she knew how big her aunt's private treasury was.
He knows it better than the two brothers Pei Chen and Pei An.
Now that she had gotten this difficult job, she felt even more bitter. If her aunt lost these last supports, she would probably lose her life in the future.
She thought hard but couldn't find a solution.
Zhang Fanghui's maid came outside and asked the prince's wife to come over for dinner. She wanted to say no, but was stopped by Shuangyue, "Madam, you are bored here alone. The more you think about it, the more uncomfortable you will feel. Why not share in the joy of your cousin's wife and ease your mind?"
What's more, there is a banquet today, and the kitchen has not left any dishes that Xiao Yinxiu likes.
If I send someone to do it temporarily, I would be afraid that the prince's wife would be hungry.
After much persuasion, Xiao Yinxiu was finally convinced. She re-did her makeup and sighed, "This mansion is becoming more and more unfamiliar to me day by day."
When Pei Hai was about to go out, he asked Linchuan and Linxi to carry in a big box.
"This is……"
Xiao Yinxiu was a little surprised. Pei Hai came up to her and bowed, "Madam, the master said that you have been very hard this year. He will visit friends in Mo County in a few days. These are just birthday gifts for you."
what?
It's really a slap in the face followed by a sweet date!
Xiao Yinxiu was flattered. In the past, on her birthday, her aunt was there, and her aunt's reward was her uncle's reward. She had never really been treated differently by Pei Jian...
What's going on today?
Pei Hai bowed and said goodbye after Linxi and Linchuan were brought to the main room. Xiao Yinxiu thought about it and wanted to open the box, but Zhang Fanghui came in a hurry.
"My dear sister, you can't escape from my sister's banquet today."
The figure was still far away, but the voice had already reached him. Xiao Yinxiu paused to think about what was going on, then turned around and went out. "Things keep coming one after another, and I'm about to go out. If I don't go to your place to eat today, where can I go to eat?"
The two sisters were arm in arm, very close.
Zhang Fanghui had already glimpsed Xiao Yinxiu's expression and could not see anything unusual, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"The prince's brother-in-law has also given me some face. Now I am in Biluozhai. My dear sister, I beg you to look after my little Fangchen today. Whether you can see it or not, please be magnanimous and just pretend you didn't see it. How about that?"
whispering sound!
"You are disgusted with me?"
Zhang Fanghui begged for mercy again and again, "Of course I don't dare, I'm just relying on my elder sister's love."
Thinking that she was in a foreign land and Xiao Bei had failed the exam, and now they had discussed going back to Jiangzhou someday, he couldn't ignore her face.
"Well, it's up to you."
After entering the house, the banquet did not become dull without her, but became lively instead. Ling Ge'er and Qin Ge'er pestered Song Guanzhou to play chess. Song Guanzhou's Go skills were extremely poor, and he was no match for the two brothers after several games, so he simply came up with an idea, "Let's play watermelon chess."
As he spoke, he asked Xiao Bei for a large piece of white paper and pen and ink.
Draw a not-so-standard large circle, draw a cross inside, use the intersection of the straight line and the arc as the center, draw a semicircle along the edge, and draw a small circle at the intersection of the cross in the middle with the intersection as the center.
It's so simple...
The chessboard is in place.
