The Male Wife

The old lady looked at Hu Xiayun coldly. Since the incident with the Liu family, she had more and more opinions on Hu Xiayun, but it was because the Hu family didn't have an attack, so Hu Xiayun was poured hot tea just now when he mentioned the separation of the family. The old lady is just making use of it.

How could Hu Xiayun not be able to see that the old lady was making things difficult for herself on purpose, but she couldn't be furious because the old lady did it on purpose, her eyes were flushed, she knelt on the ground wronged, looked up at the old lady, and said pitifully : "Mother, I didn't bring up this family division. Why are you angry with me?"

As soon as the old lady saw Hu Xiayun, she thought of the increasingly stiff relationship with the Liu family, and felt upset. She even sent someone to give a gift to her elder brother in the Liu family this morning, but the other party flatly refused.After the servant sent to deliver the things came back, he sent word that the head of the Liu family immediately kicked him out when he heard that he was sent by the Jiang family, without giving him any face.

"Who told you that the family is separated?" The old lady looked at Hu Xiayun coldly, her eyes full of disgust, "Songwu's health is still very poor recently, didn't you say before that you would send century-old ginseng to the Liu family, did you give it?" ? Don’t tell me Song Wuniang still refuses to see you.”

"I sent someone to deliver it to Liu's house, but after Song Wuniang knew that I sent someone to deliver it, she immediately kicked out the maid and woman, and I couldn't do anything about it, so I haven't delivered this thing yet. "When Hu Xiayun heard the old lady talking about the Liu family, her heart skipped a beat, knowing why the old lady was so angry.

"I said that you, a woman, have no rules at all." The old lady felt that Hu Xiayun was not a peaceful daughter-in-law. "Songwu is still lying on the bed, but Qi'er goes to school every day. You say that How many lessons did Songwu fail? You still don’t allow his mother to be angry? Why can’t you come to the door to ask for peace for the sake of the future relationship between the Jiangliu family?”

"Mother, I'm still the young lady of the Jiang family. If I come here to ask for peace in person, it will make people laugh." Hu Xiayun couldn't help but feel that the old lady was just embarrassing herself, but how did she know that this was the old lady? He was deliberately embarrassing her.

"What do you know as a woman. The most important thing for us now is to reconcile with the Liu family. Hu Xiayun, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, you left home with a congratulatory gift, did you hear me?" the old lady said angrily, "Boss can't go again because of face. , what face are you afraid of losing as a woman? It is your duty as a daughter-in-law to share the worries of your own man. "

Hu Xiayun lowered her head and said nothing, she really couldn't bear to look for Song Wuniang, but the old lady's attitude was too tough, Hu Xiayun could only agree now, and said: "Mother, can we discuss the division of the family? These family properties are now being guarded by the uncle, so we can’t just give most of the family property to the East Courtyard once the family is divided, it’s not in compliance with the rules at all.”

The old lady looked at her unkindly, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking. The boss is handling the division of the family, and I shouldn't intervene, but...the family business won't be given to them any more. "

Hu Xiayun's face brightened, and he said, "That's the way Lier is."

The old lady was still a little irritable, especially looking at Hu Xiayun's heartless appearance, she was even more worried about the relationship between the Liu family and the Jiang family after a hundred years from now.

At this moment, the old lady looked at Hu Xiayun as if she was looking at a sinner, "What do you think, if you can take care of the family affairs so calmly on weekdays, why can't you restrain yourself on the night of the Lantern Festival?"

The smile on Hu Xiayun's face froze, and he said, "Mother, you can't put all the blame on me. If Songwu hadn't fallen into the water that night, and Songwu's mother saw that there was only Qi'er from our family beside him, she would just slap her Qi'er must have pushed Song Wu into the water, and kept saying that he would strangle our Qi'er to death, how could I fight with Song Wuniang in public."

When the old lady heard this, the original anger on her face gradually subsided, "Although you acted recklessly that night, it was also to protect our Qi'er."

Hu Xiayun breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady waved her hand, signaling Hu Xiayun to get up from the ground.

Qiuyi put the tray aside, seeing this, hurriedly stepped forward to support Hu Xiayun, who would have expected that after Hu Xiayun got up from the ground, he would immediately push herself away, Qiuyi was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground.

Hu Xiayun didn't care that the old lady was still at the scene, she only focused on targeting Qiuyi, she looked down at Qiuyi, "A lowly maid, do you still want to do something to me?"

Qiuyi shook her head in horror, then bit her lower lip and looked at the old lady for help, but she was ignored by the old lady.

After all, Hu Xiayun is also the daughter-in-law of the old lady, and Qiuyi is just an insignificant servant, so how could the old lady make Hu Xiayun lose face for a servant.

Thinking of this, Qiuyi hated her humble background even more.

East Court.

After Pei Cheng figured out some things, he didn't think there was anything wrong with staying in Jiang Linzhi's yard to celebrate the New Year tonight. He lay lazily on the low couch, watching the servants busy in the room. The happy words were pasted inside, and the originally deserted house was full of New Year's flavor in a short while, and the corner of the mouth curled up, and the mood gradually became joyful.

Jiang Yanzhi is still practicing calligraphy diligently, and after practicing calligraphy, he will have to paint for a while.

This painting was added to his daily itinerary on his own initiative. The two fathers who had no experience in educating children didn't think Jiang Yanzhi's request was too much, so they let him go.

Pei Cheng started to feel drowsy, he yawned, and stared sleepily at the happy words pasted on the wall, after looking for a while, there was a "creak" sound of the door opening outside the house.

Jiang Linzhi paused, threw the cloak on Donglai casually, then walked to Jiang Yanzhi who was painting with his head down, admiring the little guy's paintings expressionlessly.

Jiang Yanzhi's originally fairly natural movements became stiff instantly after Jiang Linzhi approached.

Jiang Linzhi saw that he was uncomfortable, so he didn't continue to stay and watch more.

Donglai shook off all the snowflakes on Jiang Linzhi's cloak, then hung it on the screen at one side, and walked out quietly, guarding the door. Only then did Pei Cheng realize that Jiang Linzhi had returned, and supported the cloak under him with his hands. On the low couch, straightened up, eyes full of sleepiness, and said: "Second Master is only coming back now?"

"Yeah." Jiang Linzhi sat across from Pei Cheng, stared into Pei Cheng's eyes for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand, took out two books in his arms, and said, "This is what I just sorted out. The ledger is running."

Pei Cheng became energetic in an instant, took over the account book, and quickly flipped through it. After reading a few pages, he suddenly raised his head, stared at Jiang Linzhi without blinking, and said, "Second Lord, those three shops are all The annual profit is very high, but did the money go into the accountant of the East Hospital?"

Jiang Rinzhi looked at Pei Cheng and said nothing.

Pei Cheng couldn't help sighing, lowered his head and continued to read, but the speed of reading the account book was obviously much slower, he propped his chin, and said while reading: "If the separation was proposed earlier, so much money wouldn't have been wasted over the years." .

"Xiyuan is not short of money." Jiang Linzhi picked up the steaming teapot in front of him, poured half a cup into the cup, blew on it, and then took a sip, "But if you raise points two years in advance If they are home, they will not give up these three shops so easily."

Pei Cheng actually knew it in his heart, but when he saw the running water recorded in the ledger, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. After all, these are money, and he felt distressed just letting them flow away from his hands. .

"Second master decides to take care of the three shops himself after the next year?" Pei Cheng just glanced casually, and then put the ledger on the table, with an inexplicably complicated expression, "Can the second master's body hold up?"

Jiang Linzhi looked at Pei Cheng with a half-smile, "I said a few years ago that these three shops..."

Said, Jiang Linzhi took out the last account book in his arms, put it on the two account books that Pei Cheng only saw just now, gently pushed it in front of Pei Cheng, and said: "These should be given to you in the future." Madam took care of it. I am not in good health, if I need to trouble Madam in the future, please forgive me."

Pei Cheng stared at the three ledgers in front of him, his eyes were full of complexities, he loves money but he doesn't like trouble, and the three ledgers in front of him obviously represent three troubles, he is unwilling to take them, but...

Jiang Linzhi was not in a hurry, and drank tea calmly and naturally, as if he was sure that Pei Cheng would pick it up.

Pei Cheng glanced at Jiang Linzhi, shook his head with a wry smile, then picked up the three ledgers, put them by his side, and said, "Second Master is too exaggerated, you and I are husband and wife, these words are unavoidably related. Will give birth."

Jiang Linzhi smiled and said nothing.

Pei Cheng looked at the cup that had finished drinking tea in front of him, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup, and refilled a cup of tea for Jiang Linzhi, held it up, and said, "Second Master, we will talk about it later. Just live the life in front of you now." Jiang Linzhi took a sip of tea lightly, his frowning brows finally relaxed.

Xiyuan.

Qiu Yi lowered his head, looked around cautiously, saw no one, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ran into the inner wall of a rockery that can accommodate two people.

A man dressed as a servant handed Qiu Yi a pack of medicinal powder, and said, "You have to be careful, don't let people find out, and end up hurting me."

Qiu Yi nodded, quickly stuffed the powder into his arms, took a deep breath, and said, "When I'm done, I don't think I'll forget your great kindness."

The servant curled his lips, thinking that if the uncle gets angry, you'd better not drag me to be buried with him.

Qiu Yi took the medicine powder, probed out, looked left and right, and ran out along the same path.

Seeing that Qiuyi ran away first, the servant waited a while, poked his head out like Qiuyi did to look around, saw no one outside, and then trotted away.

But at this moment, they didn't know about the episode that happened in this small corner of the Jiang family.
