Chapter 171: The aunt who no longer forces her eldest son to make progress
After Song Xia's analysis, most of Zhou Yongli's anger subsided and he had to thank Song Xia.

"The madam is still thoughtful, but she is thinking wrong for her husband."

"Mr. Lang never thought of this. It's just that whenever he meets Aunt Liu, he is always impulsive. I understand that Lang Jun and Aunt Liu are childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship, but no matter how much Mr. Lang dotes on him, he has to consider the Zhou family. Think about it, if Aunt Liu is involved, then no matter how much your husband loves you, will Aunt Liu be able to keep her?"

Zhou Yongli said sarcastically: "Why can't it be this serious?"

"Mr. Lang is joking again. Aunt Liu should be restrained from her extravagance, even if it's not for Lang Jun, but for Brother Shu."

"What does this have to do with Brother Shu?"

"Mr. Lang values ​​Brother Shu so highly and sends him to Shangde Academy to study. Doesn't he want Brother Shu to take the imperial examination? Although Aunt Liu is an aunt, she is Brother Shu's biological mother. If Aunt Liu is taken by the censors, No matter what mistake you make, Master, you will be criticized harshly by His Majesty, and the future of this book brother will be completely ruined."

After hearing these words, Zhou Yongli's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect this!

"Mr. Lang, please go back and explain to Aunt Liu, lest I be resented for my good intentions. Brother Shu will have his imperial examination in February next year. Don't make any mistakes at this critical moment."

Zhou Yongli was suspicious: "I didn't expect you to care so much about Brother Shu."

Song Xia smiled sarcastically: "I know what Lang Jun is worried about. He just thinks that because Brother Yu is not as good as Brother Shu in studying, he will be jealous of Brother Shu."

Zhou Yongli quickly explained: "That's not what I meant."

Song Xia smiled faintly: "It's not surprising that Lang Jun has such a guess. It's just that Brother Yu and Brother Shu are brothers. They are both members of the Zhou family. They will both be prosperous and suffer losses. If anything happens to Brother Shu, Yu Is my brother okay? Please go back, Mr. Liu, and please tell Aunt Liu that from now on, there will be no more expenses beyond 50 taels in this mansion. It doesn’t matter if she hates me, I am thinking about the entire Zhou mansion."

"Fang Niang is the most considerate, how can she bear grudge against you, madam? When I go back and tell you, Fang Niang will understand."

"I hope, sir, please come back. I've been tired from taking care of Brother Yu recently, and I want to have a good rest."

It wasn't until he was kicked out that Zhou Yongli realized that he was obviously here to hold him to account, so why was Song Xia leading the way?But it has to be said that Song Xia's considerations are somewhat reasonable.

Seeing him coming back, Liu Fangniang hurriedly greeted him: "Yonglang, how are you?"

"You!" Zhou Yongli could not bear to criticize harshly, "You have really wronged Madam this time."

Not hearing what she wanted to hear, Liu Fangniang almost lost her expression.

"Yonglang, what are you talking about?"

"The accountant said it's only October, but you already withdrew 5000 taels of silver?"

Liu Fangniang pouted: "Isn't this all what you promised, Master? It's all in the past, why are you still blaming me?"

"Let me ask you, did you spend all that money at Linglong Pavilion or the Silk Satin Shop?"

"What's the use of money if you don't use it to store things? Yonglang, just tell me whether I look good in what I'm wearing, right?" "You also have to look at the time when it looks good."

"What do you mean, sir, you went to Madam's courtyard, why did you become so weird?"

"Aren't you too showy? You are a concubine. You must always remember your identity. My wife's expenses in the past ten months are less than half of yours. How will outsiders spread the news if they know?"

Liu Fangniang was still unconvinced: "If Madam doesn't tell me, how will outsiders know?"

"Does it mean that only the madam has to tell outsiders to know? Then Linglong Pavilion and Silk Manor don't keep accounts? The concubine's house is more popular than the main house. If you don't think about me, you have to think about Brother Shu."

Zhou Yongli explained patiently: "If I am involved by the imperial censor or a political opponent because of this, and my Majesty reprimands me, Brother Shu is at the critical moment of the imperial examination. Do you want to ruin the future of our father and son? Madam is also thinking about the Zhou family, Don’t doubt Madam’s intentions every time.”

Liu Fangniang's face really changed after hearing this. Firstly, she was afraid that her behavior would affect Zhou Yongli and Zhou Shuqing. Secondly, Zhou Yongli actually spoke for Song Xia. How could this be possible?

She didn't believe that Song Xia was really thinking about the Zhou family, but was just taking the opportunity to prevent her from paying.

But the excuse used does have some truth to it.

So she immediately lowered her head and sobbed: "Yonglang, it's me, it's not me. My lack of consideration almost hurt Yonglang. Originally, I just wanted to dress up beautifully so that Yonglang would look at him and feel comfortable. I will definitely act cautiously in the future." .”

Zhou Yongli hugged you distressedly and said, "I know you don't have bad intentions. I like you even if you don't dress up. I'll keep a low profile from now on."

Liu Fangniang was unwilling to give in, but she had no other choice. Her heart felt like needles pricking her heart. The Zhou family was so rich, but they couldn't spend it. Isn't this torture?
In the main courtyard, Furong was in high spirits: "We usually come to Qinyaxuan to get the sign to pay the money, and we are very confident. Let's see how arrogant the courtyard will be in the future. Today, the master can't even say a word! Which concubine in the whole capital is better than her?" So moisturizing.”

Song Xia's face was calm: "She is indeed living a better life. I didn't take it seriously in the past, but I will never tolerate it in the future. A concubine should behave like a concubine."

She used to think that the Zhou family had a profound background and she was born in a county prince's palace. She didn't have to worry about the money with Liu Fangniang. She would use her own dowry more for daily expenses. After all, the dowry from the county prince's palace was higher than that from the Zhou family. So judging from the money in the account, she used less than Liu Fangniang.

But now think about it, why?Use what you own, use what belongs to the Zhou family, and use what belongs to the Zhou family. Liu Fangniang has a concubine, so she should not have expenses beyond the concubine. After all, this Zhou family will be inherited by her son in the future. After thinking about it, Liu Fangniang What is being used now is Brother Yu’s property.

These few thousand taels are not much for me, but if I go out to distribute porridge to the poor, I don't need to make Liu Fangniang happy?
"You guys go to Qinyaxuan later and tell me that Brother Yu is just right. Brother Shu will also take the scientific examination at the beginning of next year. Starting tomorrow, my wife will go out of the city to give porridge and pray for the two young masters in the house. Sister Ying is with me."

Furong was puzzled: "Madam, why is this?"

"Of course, Zhou Ying will have to suffer. Her aunt is extravagant, and she is not much better. I guess she will not be able to endure that suffering."

"But even if you can't eat it, the master and the old lady will only feel sad and won't do anything to Sister Ying, right?"

Song Xia smiled: "She doesn't even want to pray for her two brothers. She is so uneducated. How can I, my wife, take her out to attend banquets in the future?"

Only then did Furong realize that the master and the old lady usually asked the madam to take Sister Ying out to see the world, in order to find a good husband for Sister Ying. With this excuse, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the madam does not have to worry about Sister Ying. I'm sorry.
