Chapter 178 Calculation (2)

The next day, it began to rain.

Yuxi didn't need Zisu to say more, she took the initiative to say: "Bring me my cloak." The weather in November was already cold, and it became even colder after it rained. At this time, the wind blowing on the body will make people tremble. She is in good health, but no matter how good her body is, she will still catch cold in such a wind. After studying pharmacology, Yuxi paid more and more attention to this aspect.

Arriving at the main courtyard, Yuxi walked outside the house. Liu Yin came over and said in a low voice: "Girl, Madam didn't sleep well last night, breakfast is useless."

After entering the room, Yuxi looked at Qiu Shi sitting on the couch with a gloomy face. Seeing Yuxi, he squeezed out a smile: "Xi'er is here!"

Yuxi said: "Mother, I just heard from Liu Yin that you haven't had breakfast yet?"

Qiu Shi said: "I don't have an appetite." Thinking of what happened yesterday, she felt so congested that she couldn't eat or sleep well.

Yuxi laughed: "Mother, isn't it just an aunt? If you don't like her, just lock her in the yard." Yuxi really can't understand Qiu's family. With her current status in the Duke's Mansion, she is Beating Aunt Mei to death on the spot, at most she would be scolded by the old lady and the Duke, no one dared to really punish her. But she chose not to use her advantage, instead she was angry with an aunt, couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep, she really didn't know what to say.

Qiu smiled wryly: "You don't understand." From the time she married into the Han family, she has done her best in everything for more than 20 years. She asked herself to be a qualified mistress and daughter-in-law. But now, she felt that she was a failure. It's fine if her husband's heart is not on her side, anyway, she has long since given up extravagant hopes. But she is really filial to the old lady, and she hasn't done anything wrong in these years. But there was Wen Shi first, and now there is a beautiful aunt, Qiu Shi feels unspeakably sad.

Yuxi understood, she was afraid that what the old lady said yesterday made her mother sad. Yuxi smiled and said, "It's good that mother can think so. These years, mother has been busy with everything. Now that the eldest brother and the second brother are all promising, mother doesn't need to be so tired. Those trivial things in the mansion I will leave the matter to the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. If the mother feels bored, she can invite people to come into the mansion to talk about stories, sing songs or listen to operas. It will be lively and fun. What do you think, mother?" children's. Although the children are more angry in the yard and make the yard lively, raising children is actually very tiring. Furthermore, although Lu Xiu is pregnant, she may not be willing to give the child to Qiu Shi in her heart. Yuxi has never given birth to a child, but when she thinks about it, she knows that no one is willing to give their son to someone else to raise, even if this person is a mother-in-law. Moreover, to put it bluntly, with the precedent of Han Jianye, Yuxi is really worried about Qiu's raising children.

After listening to this, Qiu felt much more at ease. So, it's better to be a daughter, and the daughter is considerate: "I haven't reached that age yet!"

Li's mother was very moved when she was listening, and she also interjected, saying: "Ma'am, I think the fourth girl is right. The uncle and the second master are both promising and filial, and the first and second sisters are also smart and capable. Madam also It's time to let go and have a few days of easy life." No one knows what Qiu's life has been like in these years than Mama Li.

Qiu Shi and Yu Xi said: "Your second sister-in-law and Jia Shi are both pregnant! How can I let go at this time!"

Yuxi smiled, and there is a saying that is very good, raising a child to be a hundred years old, and worrying about ninety-nine years. There are very few things that can really let go of their children, no matter whether it is just to enjoy their old age. But with Yuxi's explanation, Qiu's expression eased a lot.

Seeing this, Mother Li immediately ordered the servant girl to bring the breakfast. After all, Qiu ate an egg, a flower roll, and finally drank a bowl of chicken soup.

After breakfast, Qiu Shi drove Yu Xi back: "I'm fine here, you go and do your work!" Yu Xi's schedule is very tight every day, Qiu Shi knows this.

Before Yu Xi left, she heard the maid outside saying that Aunt Mei had come. Not long after, Aunt Mei entered with the help of two maids. After entering the room, she pushed away the hands of the two servant girls, walked up gracefully and saluted, "Madam and Fourth Miss are well."

Yuxi didn't wait for Qiu Shi to speak, and asked with a smile: "Why? Didn't Aunt Mei learn the rules from her mother before she entered the mansion? She didn't even know how to salute." Pay attention, but you still have to have the proper etiquette rules, otherwise it will be bad if you bump into the guests who come to the mansion one day."

Aunt Mei burst into tears when she heard this, she was so pitiful. However, this pitiful look is useful to men, but it is not only useless to women, but it will only be annoying.

At this moment, the Duke of the State walked in.

Qiu Shi didn't want Yuxi to be exposed to these bad things, and said: "Yuxi, you go back first!" Seeing Yuxi's reluctance, she said: "Don't worry, mother will be fine."

It's all said and done, it's not good if you don't leave. Yuxi saluted the Duke and went out. However, Zisu was left behind and let Zisu see the follow-up.

Not long after Yuxi returned to Taoranju, Zisu also came back. Zisu and Yuxi said: "Girl, after you left, the eldest lady quarreled with the Duke."

Yuxi stroked her forehead, mother's fighting power is really... Fortunately, she had other plans, and she didn't mean to rely on Qiu's family to solve this problem: "Go and see if the elder brother is in the mansion? If not, when the elder brother comes back, someone will pass it on to me." a word."

Zisu hesitated, and said: "Girl, it's not good for the son to meddle in this matter!" Although the son is the real head of the Duke's mansion, it's not easy for the son to meddle in the affairs of the father's house. Zi Su felt that Yu Xi's behavior was inappropriate.

Yuxi feels that Zisu has been saying stupid things recently: "I'm out of my mind, how can I let my elder brother take care of my father's concubine affairs." As far as my eldest brother's temper is concerned, he doesn't know how to take care of the inner house.

Zisu's face was full of doubts: "Then why are you looking for the son?" Usually Yuxi went to Han Jianming, but Zisu never asked. But this time, the timing was too coincidental.

Yuxi smiled: "I want to ask my brother some questions." To solve this problem, we must solve this problem fundamentally. It's meaningless to make a fuss.

Zi Su was dubious.

[UU Reading 00kxs] Coincidentally, Han Jianming is at home today. In fact, when he came back last night, he heard from his entourage that Grandpa Guo had brought back a woman with a big belly, but Han Jianming didn't take this matter to heart. It's just a plaything, so don't worry about it.

Han Jianming knew that it was a little strange for Yuxi to find him, mainly because it would not be a trivial matter for Yuxi to find him. Yuxi will find a way to solve small things by herself and will not bother Han Jianming. But recently, not only inside the mansion, but also outside, Han Jianming couldn't figure out what could happen to Yuxi.

When Yuxi arrived in the study, she said bluntly: "Brother, did you know that Dad brought Auntie home yesterday?"

Han Jianming nodded slightly, and asked, "You came to me just for this matter?"

Yuxi said: "Eldest brother definitely doesn't know, father had a fight with mother because of that aunt yesterday, and just now father quarreled with mother about this matter again."

Han Jianming looked at Yuxi and asked, "What do you want to say, just say it." Han Jianming knew that Yuxi came to him definitely not just telling his parents about the quarrel.

Yuxi didn't answer this question, but said to herself: "I heard from Mama Li that when my mother married, the Duke's mansion was unable to make ends meet, and relied on selling shops and land to maintain the daily expenses of the mansion. Do you know about this?"

Han Jianming nodded, as the actual head of the family naturally knew these things.

Yuxi said: "Since elder brother knows about the past, should he also know about the current family property of the Duke's Mansion?" Qiu's family is very good at managing money, and in the second year of her marriage, the Duke's Mansion stopped selling its property. After more than 20 years of operation by the Qiu family, not only the loopholes have been filled, but also a lot of properties have been purchased. Now the Duke's Mansion has a lot of surplus in addition to expenses every year.

Grandpa Guo is a man who only knows where to spend money to make money. As for Han Jingyan, he is a master who can only get in and out. It can be said that the current family fortune is all earned by the Qiu family. It is also because of this that Yu Xi feels that Qiu Shi is too sincere. It can be said that the Qiu family is the biggest hero of the Han family. But this hero is receiving the most unfair treatment.

Han Jianming probably knew what Yuxi was going to say: "Yuxi, one is a father and the other is a mother, what do you think I should do?" No matter how stupid the Duke is, he is also his own father. It would be like a thunderbolt for a son to deal with Lao Tzu.

Yuxi is not such a careless person, she did not let Han Jianming deal with Han Jingdong. Immediately said: "Brother, mother has done so much for this family, but she has never had a comfortable day. I won't talk about the anger I received before, but I still suffer anger at such an old age. I feel really uncomfortable in my heart." Brother, you don’t know, Mother was so angry that she didn’t sleep all night, and she couldn’t even eat breakfast.”

After a moment of silence, Han Jianming said, "If you have any thoughts, it's okay to speak up." Han Jianming and Yuxi had similar thoughts, and both felt that Qiu Shi was too much to think about. But just an aunt, it's worth it when she can't eat and can't sleep. If you don't like it, just send it to Zhuangzi.

Yuxi said: "If you want your mother to live a comfortable life, you must solve this problem fundamentally. And this, only the eldest brother can do it."

Han Jianming's face remained unchanged, and he said, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse." Han Jianming is also extremely filial, but he is too busy and rarely has time to accompany Qiu Shi.

Yuxi's method is very simple: "Brother, as long as you take over the title, mother will be able to live a comfortable life." After Han Jianming took over the title, he is the Duke of the State, the legitimate head of the Duke's Mansion. Those women can provoke the Duke's wife, but they don't have the guts to provoke the Duke's own mother.

Han Jianming's face changed slightly: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Yuxi naturally knew what she was talking about: "Brother, in the past 20 years, has Dad done anything for the family with the title of Lord Duke? Brother, you have been unable to recruit useful talents these years. Most of the reason is because of my father's bad reputation. But if the eldest brother takes over the title, it will be different." The Duke of the State and the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion are two different concepts.

Seeing that Han Jianming didn't say a word, Yuxi said: "Brother, the title of Grand Duke is actually dispensable to Dad. Anyway, he spends all year traveling around mountains and rivers to have fun. Even if Dad is not Duke, He can also live that kind of life. But this title is different to you. Once you become a noble, you will be the legitimate head of the Duke's Mansion. As long as those people know your talent, how can they not rely on you? Yes With enough helpers, there is no need to worry about revitalizing the lintel of the Duke's Mansion."

The three cardinal guides and the five constant principles are engraved in Han Jianming's bones. So no matter how dissatisfied Han Jianming was with Han Jingdong, he never thought of surpassing Han Jingdong to attack the noble. But Yuxi's words are indeed very reasonable. Han Jianming fell into deep thought. (to be continued)
