The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 911

[Chapter 911 Misfortune]

Mother Quan and Mother Lan carried the child over. Because it is hot now, apart from the clothes I wear, I only cover a thin quilt, and even this small quilt is always kicked off by them. No way, it’s too hot.

Tu Qingmei looked at the appearance of the three children and said with a smile: “It’s so interesting, the three children look like two!” After speaking, she poked Brother Xuan, who was sleeping soundly. Brother Xuan kicked his calf in protest, then continued to sleep.

Tu Qingmei said enviously, “That’s great.” After speaking, she took out the three golden longevity locks that she had prepared and said, “I didn’t catch up with the three rituals, so I’ll make it up now.”

Yuxi didn’t refuse, and let the maid accept it: “Wait for the next time I come, bring Ziyao and the others over, I haven’t seen each other for more than three years.”

Tu Qingmei explained: “The children travel long distances, and they are not used to it when they first arrived in Haocheng. I will definitely bring them here next time.” Several children felt uncomfortable when they arrived in Haocheng. How dare she bring them here.

Yuxi nodded and asked, “By the way, has Ziyao been practicing calligraphy in the past few years?” I think she even gave Ziyao a copybook back then!

Tu Qingmei said happily: “Yes, I practice for half an hour every day, and my handwriting is much better than before.”

Just as he was talking, Liu Er took Qi Hao’s hand and walked in. Liu Er said before that he would no longer want to bring Qi Hao, but unfortunately it backfired, Oak Xi asked Liu Er to bring Qi Hao this month. Liu Er was very unwilling in her heart, but she did not want to disobey Yuxi, so she could only reluctantly agree. At the beginning, Liu’er was very broken, but now she’s used to it.

When Qihao saw Yuxi, he staggered to the bed and called out happily, “Mother.” Then he tried to climb up, trying to get on the bed.

Oak-hee carried him to the bed. Liu’er said: “Mother, the second brother and the others are still in bed! Ah Hao is so naughty, what if you let him go to bed and hit the second brother and them?”

Many people don’t understand why Oak Hee did this? There are so many maids and wives in the mansion, and it is not worth letting Liu Er take them. Only Mammy Quan knew that Oak Xi was cultivating Liu Er’s patience, and by the way, he also let the sister and brother develop more feelings.

Yuxi smiled and said, “It’s okay if I’m here.”

When Liu Er heard this, she walked up to help Qi Hao take off his shoes. As he took off his shoes, he said, “Be good, you can’t hit your brother, you know?” Qi Hao slapped Liu’er’s face with his hand, and the pain caused Liu’er to cry.

Qi Hao spoke more clearly now, and said, “Mother, brother, play.” What he meant was that he wanted to play with his brothers.

Yuxi took the veil and wiped the sweat on Qihao’s forehead, then said with a smile, “My brothers are still young, you can play with them in another two years.” In another two years, Qihao will be enlightened. Well, I don’t have time to play.

Looking at Liu’er, Mrs Tu said in amazement, “Ah, this is the second county master, right? The second county master is so good-looking?” The four-year-old child’s appearance is so outstanding, and it will be good when he grows up!

Yuxi smiled and nodded: “Well, this is Liu’er, this is Qihao.” After speaking, she said to Qihao, “Liuer, Qihao, this is Auntie.”

Liu Er called out in a soft voice, while Qi Hao shouted loudly, “Hello, Auntie.”

The loud voice woke the three sleeping brothers directly. As soon as the three children woke up, they started making noises for milk.

It has been more than a quarter of an hour after feeding these three children. Yuxi smiled at Tu Qingmei and said, “It is said that confinement should be clean, but I can’t make a fuss every day.”

Tu Qingmei has a refreshing temperament and doesn’t have any twists and turns. Hearing this, he laughed: “You are too hateful. I don’t want to be disturbed!” Which woman gave birth to four sons and was not allowed to stay at home Go sideways!

Yuxi said, “Since you plan to live in Haocheng, you must have your own house? Are you planning to buy a large one? I’ll ask Han Ji to inquire for you.”

Tu Qingmei shook her head and said, “It’s overkill to ask the big butler Han to help me find a house.” It is said that the prime minister is a seventh-rank official, Yun Qing is the boss of the northwest, and Han Ji, as the big housekeeper of the Pingxi palace, works outside for everyone. You have to call Han Ye. However, Han Ji acted very low-key, and he never used power to bully others. Because Han Ji is cautious, those who don’t like him can’t find a chance to deal with him.

Yuxi held Tu Qingmei’s hand and said, “I really treat you as a sister, you don’t need to be polite to me, just ask if you need any help.”

Tu Qingmei shook her head and said, “Yu Xi, I’m not going to buy a big house this time, I just want to buy a second-class yard.”

Yuxi was a little strange and asked, “This is too small. In the future, Ziyao and Jingyao will not have separate courtyards.” After speaking, Yuxi asked again, “Is there not enough money?” , it is not something that Yucheng and Xinping can compare to.

Tu Qingmei didn’t lie to Yuxi, and said, “I’m afraid to buy a big yard. My sister-in-law brought her family to Haocheng, and then she will have to live with us.” She really didn’t want to live with that sister-in-law. of. In recent years, she has also been the master of the house, how could she be willing to be suppressed by others now. It’s fine if it’s his hometown, he doesn’t want it in Haocheng.

Oak-hee had not paid much attention to the affairs of the Zhao family in the past few years, and it was a little strange to hear this: “No way? Your parents-in-law are both in Xinpingcheng. What are you going to do?”

Tu Qingmei is the kind of person who can tell one thing and one thing, and doesn’t hide Yuxi, saying: “The Zhao family used to be in the medicine business, and every year each house received a lot of dividends. Since the business disappeared, the dividends also stopped. The uncle and sister-in-law are used to spending a lot of money, and their food and consumption are still the same as before. In addition, my uncle now has four aunts and seven children, and the expenses are more than twice as much as before. There are only a few shops and 800 acres in the house. Where is the income from the fertile fields enough?” Now, the medicinal materials in the entire northwest are partly supplied by Wu Kuo and partly supplied by caravans. Without this link in the middle, the medicinal material alone saves a lot of money every year compared to before.

Yu Xi frowned and said, “You haven’t split up yet?” If they didn’t split up, the big house was squandering like this, and Tu Qingmei and his wife would suffer a big loss.

Tu Qingmei smiled bitterly: “In the beginning, the second master also sent all the money he got home. It was only after he got Teng Ge’er that he knew how to make plans for the family.” Teng Ge’er was the concubine who gave birth to a son.

Oak Xi really didn’t know these things: “Then you have been in Xining for more than three years, and you and a few children have had a very hard time.” Now the northwest has a clean government, corruption and bribery rarely happen. Moreover, Zhao Hao’s position is not high, even if someone is filial, there will not be much.

Tu Qingmei shook her head and said, “It’s not enough to suffer, just like the family is now, Zi Yao and Jing Yao will definitely not have much dowry when they get married. As a mother, I just want to make more plans for them.”

Yuxi smiled and said, “Don’t think too much, Ziyao is only eleven years old this year, so don’t worry about five or six years before she gets married. Besides, the dowry is second, the main thing is to find a better person.” If it is not good, Shili Hongzhuang is useless.

Tu Qingmei nodded and said, “That’s the truth, but since I’m a mother, I just want to prepare more for my children.”

Yuxi smiled and nodded, “It’s all about being a mother. By the way, how did you know that your sister-in-law would come to Haocheng?”

Tu Qingmei said: “Someone in the mansion sent a letter to me. My sister-in-law knew that my child and I were going to live in Haocheng, so she encouraged my uncle to say that there are many famous doctors in Haocheng, and he might not be able to heal his injuries when he came to Haocheng. “Since Zhao Zhuo was injured and disabled, people have become decadent. In the past few years, she has taken four concubines and gave birth to five children. Master Zhao and Madam Zhao wanted to control it, but they couldn’t control it at all, so it was up to him.

Yuxi thought for a moment and said, “If that’s the case, it’s useless for you to buy a house for two. When they insist on moving in, there’s nothing you can do.”

Tu Qingmei said: “Is it possible to buy one for one entry.”

Yuxi shook her head and said, “How much money did your mother-in-law give you to settle down this time?”

Tu Qingmei didn’t hide it, and said, “My mother-in-law sent me two thousand taels of silver.” In Haocheng, as long as you don’t choose a prosperous location, two thousand taels of silver can buy a three-entry yard. If the location is good, you can only buy a second.

Mrs. Zhao’s accident is more fair. But no matter how fair this is, it is also biased. The eldest son has been abolished, and the second son has a good future. In the future, the family will definitely favor the big house. Yuxi said, “The trouble is coming, but you can’t hide. Don’t buy a second-entry yard just because you want to avoid the trouble. This yard may last your whole life! Or buy a three-entry yard, so that the two sisters can live in it for the rest of their lives. It also has its own courtyard.”

Tu Qingmei thought for a while and nodded: “I thought it was wrong.” After a pause, Tu Qingmei said: “I still have some money, and I want to take it out and buy two shops. After a few years, these two shops will be given to Zi. Yao and Jing Yao are dowries. It’s just that I’m not familiar with Haocheng, and I can’t trouble my aunt…” If Yuxi could say these words to her, she would no longer be polite.

Yuxi smiled and said, “Let Han Ji inquire about it for you, and you won’t be disadvantaged by then.” Han Ji will definitely get a preferential price when he comes forward.

After talking for a while, Tu Qingmei went home.

In the evening, Yun Qing came back and said something to Yuxi: “Yuxi, Jiangnan’s harvest this summer is very good, it should not be worse than last year.” Yuxi said that there may be drought in Jiangnan, but in fact not only is there no drought, Instead, the weather was good.

Yuxi smiled and said, “Is there something ugly?” Looking at Yun Qing’s appearance, he knew that it was not a good thing.

Yun Qing didn’t hide it from Yu Xi, and said, “Yu Baojia posted the official letter we wrote to him, saying that we were hiding evil intentions and deliberately spreading rumors.”

Yuxi didn’t care about these words at all, and said, “They can say what they like, don’t care. By the way, since Jiangnan has a good harvest this summer, we can take the opportunity to buy some more grain.” Anyway, when the flood came, everything was there is none left. Instead, it’s better to buy more and save it.

Yun Qing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and said, “Our grain granary can’t even fit in and still want to buy it? Are you addicted to buying grain?” He really didn’t feel the need to buy grain.

Yuxi said sternly: “I’m not joking, we store potatoes, we should store more rice noodles. He Rui, I want Wu Kuo to buy one million stone grains in Anhui and Jiangxi. The price is not a problem, but it must be guaranteed. It will be delivered to the northwest within two months.” Grain purchased from Anhui and Jiangxi can be transported from Hubei to the northwest. The relationship in Hubei has been dredged up. In recent years, all things have been shipped from Hubei.

Yunqing looked at Yuxi like this and asked, “Even if there is a drought in the northwest, the food we have stored will be enough for the people of the northwest for more than a year.” What Yunqing said did not include the food that the people had on hand.

Oak-hee said, “I didn’t say that, we are storing potatoes, not rice noodles. This time, we have made up for the variety of food.

Yun Qing said speechlessly, “Let’s not talk about the stored grain, just say that there is corn and wheat in the ground, and they are all growing well this year. Oak-hee, do I really think we don’t need to buy any more grain?”

In Yuxi’s mind, the tragic scene of Aihong being eaten by savages couldn’t help but shuddered. Oak Xi said firmly: “It is necessary, it is very necessary. He Rui, a million load of grain is only two or three hundred thousand taels of silver. We have money now and can afford it.”

Yun Qing said in a funny and angry voice: “We spent more than 2 million silver on the acquisition of potato this year.” This is because a lot of potato left in the hands of the people has not been sold, otherwise it is estimated that it will cost more than 3 million silver.

Yuxi said: “Didn’t Yongcheng send 20,000 taels of gold last month? Anyway, it’s not needed for the time being, so let’s use it to buy food first!”

Yun Qing was reluctant and said, “Two thousand taels of gold can be used to buy other things.”

No matter what Yuxi said this time, Yun Qing did not agree. Seeing this, Yuxi could only say, “If you don’t want to, then forget it.”

In fact, Oak-hee was not one to compromise easily. The next day, I wrote a letter myself and asked Grandma Quan to give it to Xu Wu. Mother Quan said: “The princess said that it is inappropriate for the prince to know about it, and please Lord Xu not to tell the prince about it.”

Xu Wu asked, “Why can’t you tell the prince?”

Grandma Quan didn’t hide it from Xu Wu, and said, “This letter is that the princess asked Wu Kuo to buy another 1,000,000 stone of grain, but unfortunately the prince doesn’t agree. The princess can only use this method.” For Wu Kuo.

Xu Wu said, “There’s already a lot of grain in the northwest, so there’s no need to buy more grain, right?”

Seeing Xu Wu hesitating, Mammy Quan said, “What kind of temperament the princess is, you should know. Since she decided to do this, there must be a reason.”

Xu Wu thought for a while and nodded: “Okay, I will have someone send the letter to Wu Kuo now. But I will tell the prince about this later.”

Mother Quan said: “It will take a later date, or the lord will send someone to retrieve the letter.” She didn’t want to do it in vain.

Xu Wu nodded in agreement.
