106, housekeeper

Wei Jue was angry and turned around and left with a tense face.

Princess Yongyang was also very angry and shook her head, "This temperament is your second aunt. Even if you are stubborn, you can't even pull back ten cows. I've thought they were smart before."

"That may not be. Some people pretend to be confused and cannot see the prospect in the big room. They deliberately try to make their mother disgusted." Wei Shi shook Princess Yongyang's arm, raised the corners of her lips, and looked in a good mood.

Princess Yongyang thought something and then smiled, "He will die of this heart. I will never go back to the second room in this life!"

Time flies. Wei Shi has been in a state of custody for more than a month, and there are less than two months left. Although he cannot go out, his life is very leisurely and happy.

Occasionally, I slept until the sun was sunny before getting up. I stretched my waist, rubbed my arms and legs, and tasted the fruit and snacks comfortably.

"What's so lively?"

June said, "It was the old man who came back and brought the third bedroom back. The whole family is being resettled."

Wei Jing's tea-drinking action suddenly came, "Will you come back so soon?"

"No, I'm going to calculate the day. No, I've sent my concubine to the countryside for almost a month. The Marquis was also cruel and sent the old lady away. The old lady was so old that she was paralyzed in bed. I heard that she had been sick all the time."

"It's not cruel. My ancestor doesn't like this concubine, and there must be someone serving her around her. The concubine is old and indifferent, and is paralyzed in bed. If she is stimulated by something, there will inevitably be someone who needs to be mourned."

When Mr. Wei made a mistake, the concubine stayed and did not follow him, enjoying wealth and glory. You should know that Mr. Wei was the one whom Mr. Wei took the top spot in his heart. He abandoned Mr. Wei when the disaster came to an end. It can be imagined that Mr. Wei felt so uncomfortable. How could he not hold a grudge against this?

"Miss Seven, the princess asked you to prepare and go to see the old master later." Huiju came to pass the message in person, and Wei Ji nodded, indicating that she knew.

He changed into a light blue long skirt, combed his hair, and only two jade hairpins were inserted diagonally on his head. He dressed very simply. He followed Princess Yongyang to the front hall. Along the way, Princess Yongyang reminded him, "If your grandfather punishes you, just tell your mother, and your mother is not afraid of him!"

It is useless to be honest with your reputation, as long as Wei Shi is not wronged.

"Why did grandfather punish Xiaoqi?" Wei Jing blinked at Princess Yongyang, "Xiaoqi just doesn't provoke her. She is a virtuous person. Xiaoqi is a daughter again. She has a bad reputation and doesn't care about adding one more thing."

Princess Yongyang frowned and glared at Wei Jing, "I'm talking nonsense again, my daughter's reputation is still important."

Wei Jing raised her red lips, and Wei Jing's reputation in Kyoto City is at the opposite end of the world. There are many people who praise her and many people who scold her.

After entering the main hall, Wei Jing became much more restrained and obediently followed Princess Yongyang. The room was filled with people, laughing and cheering, and it was very lively. As soon as the mother and daughter entered the door, the room suddenly became much quieter.

"Why did my father come back? No one told me, so I could ask my daughter-in-law to greet him." Princess Yongyang spoke very quickly and told everyone that she came late because the beauty told the big house that the old man came back today, but she did not arrive late on purpose.

A man sat at the top, about sixty years old, with white temples and good spirits. His muddy eyes were shining, his figure was thin, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and he was a little cunning when he was not smiling. His eyes were slanted like an eagle-like eyelids slanted with Princess Yongyang.

Chen Yan spoke, "Those who do not know are not guilty. They are all family members and there is nothing to be seen."

Princess Yongyang looked slightly and Wei Gui stepped forward, bowed and saluted, "Granddaughter greeted her grandfather."

Old Master Wei glanced at Wei Jing, "How many girls are you?"

Look, even people can't remember it. Old Master Wei has never cared about the big house. Wei Jing smiled faintly, "Granddaughter Xingqi."

"It turned out to be the seventh girl. I remember that you were not a few years old when you left, and you became a big girl in the blink of an eye." Old Master Wei's tone was calm, and he looked at Wei Jing with a smile. Wei Jing frowned slightly, lowered his head, and ignored Old Master Wei's gaze.

"Sister-in-law hasn't seen each other in recent years, but there has been no change at all." Wei, a third-person roommate, spoke, smiled slightly at Princess Yongyang, wearing a light plain dress and light makeup on her face. She is a standard beauty, with a small melon-shaped face and kind eyebrows and eyes. She has good maintenance in recent years and looks only in her early thirties.

Princess Yongyang also smiled, "It's really hard to sleep in the open all the way. For so many years, it's really hard for the third brother and sister to take care of their father."

"If it's not the case, this is what the junior should do." Wei is gentle and speaks very gently, holding a few children, "Bao Yatou, Jiu Yatou, why don't you pay homage to my aunt!"

The eighth old Wei Xian and the nineth old Wei Qian are twins, but they look different, one is lively and the other is steady.

The two were three days younger than Wei Shi and were twelve years old this year. Wei Xian and Wei Qian stepped forward and said softly, "Please pay tribute to the aunt."

Princess Yongyang smiled and helped the two children up with her own hands. "The Ba Yatou and the Jiu Yatou have also changed. They almost couldn't recognize each other and are getting more and more beautiful."

As he said that, Princess Yongyang took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Wei Xian's hand, pulled out another bead hairpin and inserted it between Wei Qian's temples.

"Thank you, aunt." The two of them thanked him. Wei Qian turned to wink at Wei Xi, "Sister Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm very worried about you."

Wei Jing grinned and thought he was a child. If Wei hadn't reminded him, Wei Jing wouldn't remember who the two were. He said with a shameless face, "So, I am, my third aunt is fine."

Wei smiled, "These three children are of the same age and are the most acquaintance. Seventh girl, I have nothing to give you. I will give you a piece of fox fur that your third uncle hunts and make you a cloak."

"Thank you, Aunt San."

Wei was a little surprised. Before leaving home, the entire Nanyang Marquis Mansion was the most delicate of Wei Shi, and he looked down on the third room. Then he thought about the changes in the Nanyang Marquis Mansion over the years, and sighed, with a faint smile on his face.

"You don't have to be polite to be a family."

Then the conversation changed, Wei Qian took Wei Gui's hand, "We were in a hurry this time. The second aunt was sick for a few days, and the third sister was busy embroidering wedding dresses. There was no one in the house and the yard was cleaned. I would sleep with you tonight."

As soon as Wei Qian opened her mouth, Wei Xian also looked at Wei Jin, and his meaning was self-evident.

Wei Zhi was unwilling to do so, but he was not willing to refuse in front of his elders and lowered his voice, "It is natural for someone to be with me, but it's a pity that I am still confined. The emperor punished me to copy scriptures quietly. I was afraid that I would copy scriptures at night, so I might as well wait until I lifted my confinement before discussing it."

After moving out of Emperor Nanliang, Wei Qian was not stupid, so naturally she didn't dare to contradict him, so she had to nod her head as she said, "Finish, then you can copy the scriptures with peace of mind."

At the evening family banquet, three tables were arranged. In addition to the sound of bowls and chopsticks, the hall was quiet, without saying anything or saying anything.

After about half an hour, Old Master Wei put down the chopsticks, and the juniors also put down the chopsticks, took off the mat, and served tea and snacks.

Wei Tingyu on the opposite side suddenly snorted coldly at Wei Si, and Wei Si's eyelids twitched.

"Now all three bedrooms live in the same mansion, I don't want to see the three bedrooms alienated. The huge Wei family still needs someone to take care of them. I have heard a lot of rumors about the Wei family along the way. In the future, I hope that the three bedrooms can work together to reorganize the Wei family."

Old Master Wei spoke, but no junior dared to speak. Then Old Master Wei called out Princess Yongyang's name.

"The eldest house is the eldest son, and the eldest son is not in the mansion, so you will be in charge of the mansion for the time being."

It may not be a good thing to let the housekeeper of Yongyang County. The second house is in deficit, and the third house is a villain, and the foundation is poor. Seeing that several sisters are about to get married, they can't escape a dowry, and there is also the food, drink, defecation and urination in the mansion, everything is money.

"Father, this is not allowed..." Princess Yongyang slowly stood up and waved his hand to refuse, "Now the plaque outside the door is hanging on the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion. If I agree, I will turn around and let my second brother and sister who have not passed the door handle themselves now?"

"You haven't entered the door yet, so you don't have to think too much. You won't hand over the huge mansion to others." Old Master Wei's tone sternly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Princess Yongyang's refusal.

"Sister-in-law, you are in charge of the house. I can't help any of my things. If no one controls the backyard, the servants will inevitably lose their composure. Without the rules, sister-in-law, don't refuse." Wei stepped forward and pulled Princess Yongyang's hand and persuaded.

If you don’t be in charge of your family, you don’t know how expensive it is. Princess Yongyang doesn’t want to worry about the whole family, and there are troubles everywhere.

But now Princess Yongyang really can't refuse. Once she speaks, Old Master Wei may even accuse the eldest son of being unwilling to be filial and going to Fenyang.

"Since everyone can trust me, I agree. I haven't been in charge of the family for a long time, so I can't help but feel unfamiliar. If there is anything wrong with it, please forgive me."

Seeing Princess Yongyang respond, Old Master Wei's face looked better. Then he changed his tone and his eyes fell on Wei Jue.

"Brother Jue is not young anymore. It's time to start a family and start a business. The descendants of our mansion have not been married yet. You have to take care of your family and can't take time to see Brother Jue. Leave your marriage to me."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he gave Princess Yongyang a warning. Old Master Wei was not a tone of negotiation, but an order.

First, he was trapped by Princess Yongyang, and then he followed the conversation and refused to be allowed to take charge of Wei Jue's marriage. To put it nicely, he was sharing the burden for Princess Yongyang. To put it nitrate, he was afraid that Princess Yongyang would be punished by Wei Jue.

"Okay." Princess Yongyang nodded readily and did not argue with Mr. Wei anymore.

Wei Jue at the banquet breathed a sigh of relief. Without the level of marriage, Wei Jue would not be controlled everywhere in the future.

At midnight, the family dinner was gone, and Princess Yongyang's face was already tense. Wei Gui followed behind and entered the East Courtyard before speaking, "Mother, this is not the butler, it is obvious that he is filling in the money."

Nanyang Hou Mansion is a big hole, and whoever is in trouble will be in trouble.

"Fill in the silver?" Princess Yongyang curled her lips and smiled, "Xiaoqi, your grandfather has returned to Beijing, and she is still in good health. She will not be able to separate the family for a while. But you remember one thing. According to your grandfather's nature, you will sooner or later turn against the big house. Instead of doing this, why should I sell him and pay the silver from my pocket?"

Wei Jin's eyes lit up, "What does mother mean?"

"Just follow the visit of the Wei family housekeeper eight years ago, the three houses will pay the money to the middle of the bus. As for what to fill, don't think about it. If we have meat and eat meat, we don't have meat and vegetables. Those who have money will naturally not be wronged. Those who have money will think of their own ways!"

Princess Yongyang is not an obedient person at all. She pulled Wei Jing, "Xiao Qi, you don't have to worry about the affairs in the mansion."

"Mother, I don't have to worry about it. I always have to learn it. Xiaoqi also wants to share one or two for her mother."

Seeing Wei Jing say this, Princess Yongyang didn't stop him. The Wei family's big business could not be covered up, and she just pretended to be confused when she understood.

"It's just that my brother's marriage was taken over by my grandfather, so it must be that my brother asked me to come to my grandfather." Wei Shi said.

Princess Yongyang was not worried at all, "Your grandfather can't be the decision to marry someone, don't worry, there are ways to let someone come in."

Just like Wen Xuan'er, isn't Wei Hong happily preparing for a marriage?

"Mother said very much!"

Wei Zhi was not worried at all now. Princess Yongyang Bingxue was smart and had a thorough understanding of things. She has been used to being intrigues with the eldest princess since she was a child, and only saw Princess Yongyang thinking about it.

The next day, a large number of account books and keys were sent to Hengshuiyuan. Princess Yongyang glanced lightly, "Putting aside the old accounts in the past, can the second and third bedrooms send money to the Zhonggong?"

Huiju shook her head.

Princess Yongyang was not surprised at all, and said, "Except for the old man's yard expenses, the remaining yards will be reduced according to the money. If it should be reduced, please find a few people to register the warehouse items and make careful."

"Yes, I'll make arrangements now."

After reading the account book for three consecutive days, Princess Yongyang rubbed her eyebrows and supported her energy to settle the accounts. Every day on the 15th day of the lunar month, she would have to go to Mr. Wei to pay tribute. If it weren't for Wei Huaijin's sake, Princess Yongyang would have wished shed a cup of tea from head to toe.

In the first few days, the account was still a little silver, but there were many people in the family, and even more people brought back from Fenyang. So many were waiting, and the silver was spent like flowing water. After more than half a month, some people could no longer bear it.

After the steward of Yongyang County, the affairs of the mansion fell on her alone, and she became a little busy.

However, every day Wei Shi would accompany Princess Yongyang for breakfast, and after returning, he would copy the scriptures quietly.

"Sister Qi, your yard is so beautiful. The pavilion connected to the lake was built by my aunt for you. It is hot in summer. If you sleep on it, it will definitely be very comfortable."

As winter came, I thought about the summer. Wei Qian stood beside Wei Jin, "It's still warm in Sister Qi's yard. It's not like my room, it's as cold as an ice cellar, and I can't even stretch my fingers out. I've been embroidered for several times. I can't sit still, come and see Sister Qi."

This sentence means something, Wei Gui lifted his eyelids and looked at Wei Qian, "If Sister Ninth, please stay for a while."

Wei Qian was stunned. Why didn't this person play cards according to the rules? She was so obvious that she was still pretending to be stupid.

Didn't you understand?

"Sister Seven, the charcoal fire in your room has no choking smell. Unlike my room, I can't stay there when the charcoal fire is lit. I will be choked to wake up at night. When I come back for a few days, my nose will hurt." Wei Qian pouted and rubbed the tip of her nose.

"Maybe you just returned to Kyoto and are still a little uncomfortable with the climate of Kyoto. I have ointments here. I will give you some of them in a while, and just apply them twice." Wei Shi said lightly, just ignoring Wei Qian's stubbornness.

Wei Qian's mouth pouted higher, and she caught a glimpse of the pastries and tea on the table. She didn't hesitate, and greeted herself. She picked up a glutinous rice cake with her fingertips and put it in her mouth. It was sweet and delicious, neither sweet nor greasy, and had a great taste. She also paired with a cup of top-quality Dahongpao. Wei Qian couldn't stop eating it, piece by piece, and soon the plate came to the bottom and ordered three cups of tea in a row.

June twitched his mouth, saying that this is not drinking tea, it is almost the same as drinking water for cows.

"The snacks in Sister Qi's house are delicious, unlike those in my house. When placed on it, they are cold and hard, and they are all twitching." Wei Qian said again.

Wei Jin looked up at Wei Qian and smiled, "This is easy to deal with. This is done by June. I'll let June make some for you later to try."

Wei Qian was choking, why didn’t this person come to the fore?

He raised a lot of topics, but Wei Gui easily avoided them. Wei Qian almost couldn't help it and said that there was something to do in the yard and left first.

Before leaving, I didn't forget to leave a few plates of snacks. June was speechless. This Nine Miss was like a child who had not grown up.
