Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Chapter 20 Her father is really sick

"You girl, why haven't you been able to speak like this before?"

The queen said that in the past, every time the mistress would follow her cousin as a follower, it was unpleasant to watch.

Now she can say, still can say, she likes it.

The little fourth lady sighed, "My dear, you don't even know that my daughter's head was almost split open. When she woke up, she realized that she had suppressed her temper too much before, and her life was so miserable that it was unbearable."

The Queen smiled and asked, "So now you want to understand?"

"Understood." Xiao Si Niang looked at the queen happily, "In the past, the courtiers were ignorant, and when they saw the majesty of the empress, they felt a little scared, but now they only think that the empress is beautiful and kind, and she is so glamorous, which makes the courtiers admire her very much. "

The queen laughed again, and asked her to come into the palace to talk with her every time in the future. The little fourth mother was very pleasantly surprised, "My daughter is willing, and my daughter will definitely come here often in the future."

Xiao He has always maintained a decent smile, the corners of his mouth are sore, and the little four in front of him has changed so much that she doesn't even recognize her anymore, why dare to say anything?
She also thought that the empress was good at this, she thought that the empress should maintain her majesty at all times and be unsmiling, it seemed that she was thinking too much.

The mother and daughter went smoothly, and Cheng Daqi naturally went smoothly, but the emperor said inexplicably, "Although the border has been defeated, it has also withstood the enemy's invasion, and the country is considered peaceful. How is your Cheng family's business?" gone?"

Cheng Daqi's brother Cheng Dakuan and his family are mostly managing the business of the Cheng family in their hometown, which is good, but Cheng Daqi is in a bit of a dilemma. After all, he wants to take the elegant way of doing nothing, and feels that money can only make him stink. Not daring to lie, he hesitated for a while and one came, "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, the family has decided to do less business and train more scholars so that they can serve the emperor."

Oh, how well I said it.

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly, so did the Cheng brothers really have luck in saving him?

"Ai Qing doesn't have to be like this."

"Yes." Cheng Daqi thought that it was time to express his loyalty to the emperor, so he cupped his hands and said, "The Cheng family will never forget the kindness of the emperor. They always remember to repay the emperor, and they are willing to do anything for the emperor. I am willing to have a clear mind and eat vegetarian food every day, so that I can cultivate pillars of the country in the future and share your Majesty's worries."

emperor
I don't want such a reward.

Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, Cheng Daqi thought he hadn't said enough, and racked his brains to recall what Zhang Xiucai had taught him. Suddenly he knelt down and raised his hands to swear. The emperor took a deep breath, "Okay, I believe My love."

Sin, he can't say bluntly that I miss your money, can he?

Who taught him the breeze on Gui's sleeves?
We must find people. If everyone follows suit, who will make money?

Will he, the emperor, take the lead in begging in the future? !
The emperor said that he didn't want to see Cheng Daqi at the moment, so he sent him away directly. The eunuch in charge felt that he should find a chance to mention Uncle Shunyi, but he didn't know who was cheating him.

The young lady talked too much. After returning home, she felt too tired and went to bed. She thought that she would analyze it with everyone in the evening. She should understand what the queen said today.

Just when she was sleeping soundly, Cheng Yi accompanied his wife back to her natal home. Cheng Yi came back, the family of three were all smiles, and Cheng Yi, who wanted to show off after entering the door, took out the account book.
"Girl, wake up, the eldest son has returned with his young wife and young master, you should go and have a look, the uncle is going to beat the eldest son to death."

Xiao Si Niang opened her eyes in a daze, "What's wrong?"

Huahua didn't know the inside story, but she knew that Cheng Daqi had moved the cane to Cheng Yi, "Go and see, uncle is very angry, madam can't count what he said, young master was frightened. "

Little Si Niang blinked and turned over and sat up. What happened to her elder brother?

Down and out?on one's last legs?

Not a good ending anyway?

The fourth lady wanted to take a look. Huahua was busy helping her get dressed, but she didn't forget to continue: "I don't know where the rattan in my uncle's hand came from. It looks like it is made of several rattans. It's very thick and big." The young master is in pain, and he is still talking about money, which makes the uncle very angry."

The fourth lady was stunned. Her mother said that the eldest brother was accompanying the sister-in-law back to her parents' house to handle some business. Could it be that the losses were so severe that the family was about to go bankrupt?

In fact, her father is also a good-tempered person, and he is also a strict wife, so it can be seen that he is ruthless to be violent.

As for my mother, she just thought that this family might still be rich, but now it is about to die?
"That's it, go and have a look."

In the small courtyard outside the ancestral hall of Bofu, Cheng Daqi raised the cane in his hand and beat his son who was in his 20s. Cheng Yi, who was lying on the stool, was bleeding from the back, and Cheng Daqi was still shouting, "Why did I give birth?" You bastard, how are you going to live in the future?"

The fourth lady slapped her thigh, she was about to finish her job, "Dad, how much did the eldest brother lose this time? Don't be afraid even if you lose. With so many people in the family, you can always make money."

Seeing the little girl coming, Cheng Daqi turned around staggeringly, with two lines of old tears hanging on his face, he trembled, "Si Niang, your brother is such a bastard!"

"What's the matter, big brother?"

Little Si Niang was so anxious, Cheng Yi, who was half out of breath, turned his head with difficulty, "Sister, it doesn't matter if it's Big Brother, Big Brother"

"Cough cough cough~~~"

As Cheng You coughed, the fourth lady became even more anxious. Cheng Daqi said angrily, "Your brother is such a bastard~"

Cheng Yousan expressed that he couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted loudly: "Father, are you sick? Are you out of your mind? What's wrong with Big Brother?"

"What do you bastard know?"

Cheng Daqi's face turned red, "You and I just told the emperor today that our Cheng family has changed their family status. From now on, we will focus on cultivating scholars and share your worries for you. Your eldest brother, a bastard, brought back such news. Doesn't that mean that you and I are deceiving you?" ?”

Xiao Si Niang was so anxious, "Can you tell me, what's wrong with my elder brother?"

Erniang Cheng, who was wiping away tears, pulled the fourth lady and said, "Brother said that the business is easy to do now, and it would expand our family's business without discussing it with Dad. In addition, Uncle Du helped introduce a few more businesses. I earned 10 taels a month.”

The fourth lady breathed a sigh of relief, "Isn't that a good thing?"

"No, did the eldest brother drop the money? Was it robbed by bandits?"

Cheng Erniang shook her head, saying that she had brought back the silver, and the little fourth mother was confused, "Father, why are you beating your elder brother? Shouldn't you celebrate with wine?"

"Xiaosi~"

Cheng Daqi was crying, and repeated what he said to the emperor in the morning, saying: "Our family is to be a noble family, what is a noble family? Then we must not be contaminated with the smell of copper."

"I'm still thinking of hiring craftsmen to renovate the courtyard in two days, trying to make the mansion look more sophisticated and bookish."

Xiao Si Niang was dumbfounded, her third brother was right, her father was really sick, and he was seriously ill!
