Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 722

"It's not good to give anything when it comes to children." Zhao Xi thought for a while and said, "Just prepare a few hundred taels of silver."

After a pause, "It doesn't need to be too much, just make a point of it, let's say 100 taels."

Jinxiu opened her mouth wide: "This...is it too little?"

She felt that her master was too indifferent in terms of human feelings, so she deliberately reminded: "The relationship between Da Furen and you is already very stiff..."

"Just be stiff!" Zhao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Could it be that if I give 1000 taels and 1 taels, she will be with me?"

Seeing Jinxiu's surprised face, she explained: "Human affection is icing on the cake, not a gift in the snow. The relationship between two people, if you have it, you don't have it. If you don't, you don't have it. It can't be cultivated through gifts from you to me. In other words, if a person wants to be nice to you, she will like any gift you give her; She will not give you a good word when you are her own. On the contrary, the better you treat her, the less she will look down on you. When it is useful, she wants to use you, and when it is useless, she wants to kick you away , we have to be sensible people, we can't be taken advantage of, and we can't be a persimmon, although the relationship needs to be managed, it also depends on whether the relationship is worth it."

She paused and sighed softly: "Besides, money is the most useless thing. Don't look at the 10 taels I have in my hand now, but there will be more places to spend money in the future. We will spend less on food and clothing in the future." You have to rely on yourself, and you have to carefully consider where every money goes, and you must not squander it carelessly."

After some words, Jinxiu's expression slowly filled with admiration: "It's because this servant thinks too simply, thanks to miss, you have a long-term perspective."

The master and servant are all in their teens, and no one knows how to live their lives.

What's more, Zhao Xiwei still wants to stand on his own, and with a lot of money by his side, those days will always be much more nourishing.

With the conclusion of the first matter, Jinxiu went on to report the second matter: "The old lady agreed to hold a wedding for the second master."

"Oh?" Zhao Xi was taken aback for a moment, "After so long, the old lady finally let go?"

"Yeah." Jinxiu's expression was a little awkward, "I heard that the old lady came to the Pei's house to say goodbye. This is a great face for the Pei family. Although the Pei family is still uncomfortable, they have made a lot of money. In order to save face, I will accept it."

Zhao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly realized: "Is it related to King Jin?"

"I don't know." When it comes to the palace, Jinxiu didn't dare to say more, but said: "My servant only heard someone mention it, saying that King Jin had been in a coma for seven days, and Pei Cairen was in Concubine Shu's palace. It's been going on for seven days... Concubine Shu had no choice, so she handed over a letter to the old lady, asking the old lady to go to Pei's house to walk around more."

"..."

The Pei family had the idea of ​​treason first, and the King of Jin almost helped the king to do evil.If it weren't for her sword, it would be difficult to say whether the scene could be controlled or not.

It is not so much that she assassinated the prince because of her rebellion, it is better to say that she saved King Jin and the Pei family by mistake.

In order to protect his son, the emperor chose to put it down gently, but could he not know the truth?
How could Pei Cairen be allowed to make such a fuss...

Forget it...

She couldn't understand or see through the affairs of the Tian family.

Besides, Second Sister Pei has a big belly, and she will marry in sooner or later, otherwise it will lose the face of the two families.

Zhao Xi shook his head slightly, not wanting to ask any more questions.

Jinxiu continued to report the third thing: "The eldest son is coming back."

"Eldest son?" At first hearing these three words, Zhao Xiwei almost didn't remember them, but after a moment of stupefaction, he realized that this is the eldest son of Uncle Zhao and the first grandson of the Zhao family.

Back then, Zhao Ziyi refused to compromise on the marriage, and it was delayed for several years. At the same time that the Zhao family was in trouble, the old lady was forced by the situation, so she had to let her second son get married first.

The eldest son, Zhao Chengyuan, was born of the Yuan family. He traveled around all the year round and almost never returned home. Even Zhao Xiwei's wedding was only passed on by his cronies, and he never met face to face.

This time I returned home suddenly, probably because of Zhao Erye's happy event.

"He really can take it easy..." Zhao Xiwei had a complicated expression, "Father will marry a new man, and he can come back to have a wedding."

"You only know one thing, not the other." Jin Xiu shook her head and reminded, "You forgot, the Eldest Young Master is about to get engaged."

"Engaged?" Zhao Xiwei was surprised.

"Yes, and the Qiao family! Don't you remember? Miss Qiao told you that she doesn't seem to be very willing!"

Zhao Xi frowned slightly, remembering vaguely, it seemed that there was such a thing...

Second Uncle Zhao had a newcomer, but Yuan Shi firmly refused to accept it. It was another division of the family property, another quarrel, and the quarrel was well known in the capital.

As a result, the marriage of the children was inevitably affected——

The family status in Beijing and Zhongzhong is similar, no one is willing to find such a frivolous husband's family for their daughter;

And the Zhao family looked down on those with a low family background. Thinking that they could marry the richest man like the Yuan family when they were down and out, it is even more impossible to choose a small family now.

The marriages of the sons were unsatisfactory, which made the old lady especially care about her grandchildren. After some selection, she chose the Qiao family.

The Qiao family has a high family background, and the girl is well-raised. The wife of the Qiao family has some business acumen and appreciates the eldest son's talent very much. There is only one requirement. You can't interfere in the life of the young couple.

That sounds good...

This matter was related to Qiao Yunqian's lifelong happiness, so Zhao Xiwei asked carefully: "What is your character, what is your talent, how is your way of doing things?"

After getting a satisfactory answer, he nodded lightly and said with a smile, "That's right, when he comes back tomorrow, you can personally say hello to him on my behalf..."

He lowered his voice again, and ordered: "Go and send a letter to Miss Qiao quietly, saying that I have prepared good tea here, and invite her to come over to catch up. By the way, don't disturb others."

Jinxiu heard the meaning of her words and hesitated: "Miss, what do you mean, you want to help the eldest son set up a thread?"

"No." Zhao Xi shook his head slightly, "I haven't even seen other people in real life, so how can I give him this line?"

"Then you?"

"I'm just thinking about Ms. Qiao." She sighed softly, "Ms. Qiao doesn't want to marry and have children, but with her background, how can she be self-willed in matters of marriage? Even if Mrs. Qiao loves her, But after all, Qiao An is an important minister of the court, if his daughter never gets married, not to mention the censor will make a big fuss, even His Majesty will not be able to sleep well."

"The servant girl understands. What you mean is, let Miss Qiao come here in the name of drinking tea to inquire about the situation first. If you don't like it, you can find a chance to shirk it!"

"You can also say that." Zhao Xiwei nodded slightly, "But I think that maybe a good relationship can be achieved, maybe..."

Jinxiu was taken aback for a moment: "Do you think the Eldest Young Master is good?"
