I steamed buns for the general

Chapter 82

Xie Yuanzhou has actually been very kind to Aunt Zhao these years. Even in the past few years, Xie Yuanzhou never spoke in such a cold voice.The look in his eyes made Aunt Zhao tremble, but thinking of Zhimian's dowry, she said bravely, "My lord, these years my concubine has worked hard at home to take care of the affairs of the family. If there is no credit, there will be hard work. How can I mention it?" And madam, the master is just like this."

She secretly knocked on Xie Yuanzhou, and seeing that his face softened a little, she pulled out her handkerchief and tucked the corners of her eyes and cried: "Madam, for more than ten years, has never cared about the family affairs, and it is my aunt who is in charge of it. Now that the child is old enough to Married, shouldn't she, the aunt, come forward and take care of her? Although Zhimian was the one who said it, she didn't even dare to call her "Mother" outside, so why not call her Qiao's mother? Since she is the mother of two daughters, then She can't ignore the child when she gets married, she has to take care of the dowry for the child no matter what."

Aunt Zhao was crying pitifully, but Xie Yuanzhou was silent. Aunt Zhao had already complained about Xie Yuanzhou in her heart. Xie Yuanzhou has been refusing to give up all these years. After the person left, he had no intention of righting himself.In the end, Xie Yuanzhou still thought about Qiao Shi, even if he blamed Qiao Shi in his heart, he was reluctant to divorce her.

"Master, my aunt is not capable, but she should do her part for the two children. At least Zhimian still calls her mother. Isn't the marriage of this girl's family prepared by her mother? Master, for Isn’t Zhimian preparing more dowry for the sake of the master, thinking that Xie Zhijin won’t have the same thoughts as the master, isn’t it still Zhijin who speaks for the master in the palace?”

Xie Yuanzhou looked at him, thinking of everything this woman had done for him over the years, he still felt a little owed, and Zhimian was his daughter, so naturally he wanted to do her best, and she would definitely think about her own future, while Xie Zhijin's wild If it is possible to deal with her if she gains power, she will not be able to make her stronger.

Seeing that his expression was relaxed, Aunt Zhao wiped her tears at the right time: "In the past few years, our house has been worsening day by day. I just cut down my stuttering and let the two children spend less, and I never cheated on my wife. Penny, my lord, you have to think about it."

You have to think about it.He naturally wanted to end well with Duke Huai, but it wouldn't do him any good if someone messed with him.Anyway, Mrs. Qiao doesn't want to see herself, so it's better to let her take out the dowry to subsidize Zhimian.

"You, your mind is alive." Xie Yuanzhou figured it out, and his attitude towards Aunt Zhao became better. He reached out and squeezed her waist, and said with a smile: "What do you think should be done?"

Aunt Zhao just put away her veil, and smiled openly: "Master, of course we can't count on that bastard Xie Zhijin. What we should count on is Zhimian. Zhimian is a smart kid, so she will be able to do well if she enters the palace. What I think is that both of them will enter the palace. Let's just say that the wife's dowry will be Xie Zhijin's dowry. When the day comes, the master will have the final say on whose house the dowry will be sent to. At this point, Madam, she has nothing to do."

Xie Yuanzhou nodded approvingly, "That's right, that's the truth. In this way, you can go to her yard tomorrow and let her come out to preside over the marriage of the two daughters. In addition, she can freely enter and leave the yard, but as long as she leaves the yard, she must follow our people staring."

"Hey." Aunt Zhao responded cheerfully, and then graciously changed Xie Yuanzhou into loose clothes.

Xie Yuanzhou felt Aunt Zhao's gentle service, and the last bit of guilt towards Mrs. Qiao was gone from the bottom of his heart.She didn't want to see him all these years, but when someone wanted to see him, people's hearts were full of flesh, and after a long time, they naturally tended to be gentle and careless.

Early the next morning, Aunt Zhao went to Lanhuiyuan with her family's account book and the housekeeper.Mrs. Qiao was very surprised by Aunt Zhao's arrival.She has been locked up in this small courtyard for more than ten years. Except for the girl and woman brought from her mother's house, she never sees outsiders at all. It seems that Mrs. Zhao herself doesn't get along much, but now she is full of faces. Come to yourself with a smile, so why?
Could it be for Xie Zhimian's marriage?As far as she knew, Xie Zhimian was going to marry into the palace, but she never paid attention to these things, why did she come now?

Aunt Zhao put the ledger on the exquisitely crafted round table with a pleasant smile, and looked around the room with her eyes catching traces.After looking around, the smile on Aunt Zhao's face was a little stiff. Some of the expensive furniture and decorations that she saw were some of which she had never even seen before.

"Why is Aunt Zhao here today?" Mother Xu, who was beside Mrs. Qiao, asked with a stiff face.

Aunt Zhao glanced at Nanny Xu, curled her lips indifferently, and said to Qiao: "Sister, my sister has something to do today. The master said that it has not been easy for Madam these years. From now on, my sister can come and go freely in Lanzhou." Huiyuan, and the matter of giving money should also be in charge of my sister, after all, my sister is just an aunt, after all, it’s just an escrow, these ledgers are here, my sister can look through them. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiao raised her eyelids and glanced at her. Before she could speak, Madam Xu next to her said calmly, "My lady is the only daughter of the Duke, and she has never had a younger sister. Aunt Zhao, please recognize her identity." Identity, other cats and dogs come and recognize relatives indiscriminately."

"You!" Aunt Zhao glared at Nanny Xu, then quickly glanced at Mrs. Qiao, she couldn't help being a little annoyed when she saw Mrs. Qiao's expression was indifferent, she didn't answer her words at all and allowed her servants to insult her, but she came today It's not that I'm here to find you unhappy, but to hand over the bad debts in hand, and then let Qiao's handle the marriage of the two daughters. She must hold back, hold back, hold back.

After calming down, Aunt Zhao said with a smile again: "Sister, this servant really doesn't understand the rules, but my sister is a lady from the Duke's Mansion, so I will definitely not insult my sister like a slave. I put these account books here." , Sister, take a look."

Speaking of which, Aunt Zhao stood up and was about to go out. When she reached the door, she turned her head and smiled coquettishly: "I also want to congratulate my sister, the eldest girl and the second girl of our mansion are going to marry into Prince Huai's mansion. The master said that the two girls' The marriage has to be done by my sister Zhang Luo."

Mrs. Qiao glanced at her, picked up an account book, flipped through it, threw it back, and said casually: "Mother Xu, I haven't read the account book for more than ten years, and I can't remember how to read it. Return the ledgers and those in charge to Aunt Zhao. In addition, don’t let those cats and dogs in Lanhuiyuan from now on.”

Aunt Zhao paused her footsteps, her expression was bad: "Sister, this is what the master ordered..."

Mrs. Qiao smiled: "As the master ordered, let the master tell me. If I don't tell servants like my aunt, I will lose my status."

"You!" Aunt Zhao was dazzled by her smile first, and gasped even more after hearing such vicious words from her bright red lips. Suddenly she rolled her eyes and passed out.

The maid who accompanied her was terrified, and Madam Xue shouted in a shrill voice: "Oh, auntie, what's wrong with you, it's terrible, please hurry up and ask the doctor."

Qiao's lips curled into a smile, and she didn't take it seriously: "Go out and make a noise. Mother Xu, see off the guests."

Madam Xu gestured to the left and right with a sullen face, and immediately came out a few thick women who lifted Aunt Zhao and walked out.Mammy Xue rushed to stop her, but was tripped by someone while staggering, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The Lanhui Garden was in chaos, Mrs. Qiao didn't even look at it, and went into the inner room to rest while being served by Qingyao.

Qiao said to Qingyao: "What else is going on in the mansion recently?"

Qing Yao lowered her head, and said expressionlessly: "I heard that the master asked the young miss to marry Xie Zhimian to Prince Huai's mansion as his concubine."

Qiao snorted coldly, tightened her fingers, and said calmly: "Xie Yuanzhou is really getting more and more promising, and he still doesn't let my daughter go. Qingyao, find a chance to go back to the Duke of Qi's mansion and let the eldest brother and the child Get in touch."

Qing Yao responded, and said: "These ladies don't have to worry, we girls can solve it by themselves. Besides, even if the girls can't handle it, there is still the Qin family. I heard that General Qin will be back soon."

Qiao's eyebrows and eyes are soft, as if time has not left traces on the corners of her eyes, after hearing Qing Yao's words, she just glanced at her, and said to herself: "I owe her."

Qing Yao didn't hear clearly, so she couldn't help asking: "What?"

Qiao shook her head and smiled: "Qingyao should get married too, she's in her 20s."

Qingyao is not an ordinary woman, she has already passed the age of marriage, she blushes when told whether she is right or not with a little girl, she just smiled and said: "I don't want to marry, I want to be with the young lady for the rest of my life."

"Okay, let's go down." Qiao Shi rubbed her forehead and closed her eyes.

After Qingyao went out, the outside had been cleaned up. Seeing her coming out, Mother Xu asked, "Miss is asleep?" After all these years, she is still used to calling her Miss.

Qingyao nodded, and said to Nanny Xu: "Mommy take care of it first, I'll go out for a while."

Nanny Xu didn't ask what to do, but just instructed: "Be careful."

"Understood." Qing Yao smiled, went back to her room, changed her clothes, and went out through the corner door to avoid people.
