Chapter 185: Scolding Dad and Persuading Mother (2)
Aunt Wu was really disappointed, she immediately gave up and started chatting with her daughter. For example, Qin Meng was even discussed by the women who were on duty at the second door. There was a very powerful military attaché in the Marquis's study.
"Xiaowan, you said last time that your father was following Mr. Qin. Does Mr. Qin think that your father is a bad person?"
"Mom, don't worry. If my father is caught, he will scream and reveal all the details."
After that, she jumped up and performed for her mother.
"Do you know who I am? Who is my master, and who is my daughter?" She imitated Cao's father's bullying expression, raised her eyes, put one hand on her hips and pointed at Qin Meng in the air, "You touch me.
Try it!? No way! Dare you touch a trusted family member like me in the Hou Mansion?"
"..." Mrs. Wu was speechless, a little ashamed and blushing as she lowered her head to wash the vegetables.
It turns out that her mother also knew that it was embarrassing for her father to be like this.
Cao Xi had long since realized that sooner or later he would be embarrassed, and she could comfort him: "This is also a skill, at least I won't be bullied. When I quarreled with my wife's girls, I scolded them like this. They are no match for me at all.
Mom, you should also learn a lesson."
Aunt Wu smiled and waved her hands desperately, but she couldn't imitate her.
The chicken soup is in the pot, and the aroma is overflowing.
Cao Xiwan took some hot vegetables and dipped them in meat sauce, and when she ate them, her lips and teeth were fragrant. She immediately left her father behind and no longer worried about whether her father was freezing and hungry outside.
Deserve it.
If there is something delicious, don’t give it to him!
"Mom, don't worry. Mr. Qin or someone from our house, for my sake, they will at most give dad a good beating instead of killing him."
Mrs. Wu thought to herself, is it just a beating? She sat down with relief and nodded: "If it's just a broken arm or leg, it'll be fine. Don't blame others. It's fine."
"..." She thought, her mother has such a big heart. No wonder she didn't say anything when she was bullied, and she always said "It's okay".
She sighed, she really didn't have the energy to educate her mother anymore, so she just ate and drank, chatting with her mother, and had a beautiful meal of hot pot in the winter.
After eating until her stomach was full, she put down her bowls and chopsticks and cleared the tables. After drinking another cup of scented tea made by her mother, she stood up and left, slowly walking back to Baihua Hall from the second gate.
As she was walking on the corridor, a little girl with a red face across from her ran over and called her: "Sister Xiaowan, Sister Yuci from the fifth wife's side, sent me over to give you something."
"Thank you for your hard work. Now, go and eat some citrus fruit."
She took a small jewelry box from the little girl's hand, weighed the heavy one, and felt happy. She hurried back to her room. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door in the corner of her house, Yanzhi was actually with Lou Xiliu.
, both girls were wearing the same blue satin jacket and white silk skirt. They were sitting opposite each other on a blue tile charcoal basin, sorting a basket of more than twenty balls of fine colored thread.
She quietly turned around and ran away, but Yan Zhi smiled angrily at her: "Stop hiding, I won't ask you to do fine needlework."
"...I'm afraid that I can't do it well and make fun of me for being young. Sister labor, it's inappropriate for you to bother to redo it." She smiled, slipped in, and hid behind the bed curtain, then she opened the locked door.
Small box.
Lou Xiliu glared at her disdainfully several times. Seeing that she was so flattering, it was just because Yanzhi helped her to be lazy.
Cao Xiwan looked down and saw that there was indeed a pile of broken silver and copper plates inside the box. They were probably the bits and pieces that Yu Ci had saved over the years. There were eight taels in total, just a little more.
"Xiliu, Xiliu, give me some fine money. I want five taels of silver." She came out and shouted, holding the money box, "I know Yanzhi doesn't have it. Her monthly payment must be paid in full."
Give it to your family."
"Where do I still have it? You exchanged those broken gold bracelets for a few large ingots of silver of mine. Now I still have the silver beans. No more silver."
"If you insist, just go find Mother Chen. The day before yesterday, she said she didn't have any broken silver or coins. She didn't even care when she was rewarding people."
She hurriedly left the room and went to find Mother Chen. Sure enough, she exchanged a box of loose money for an ingot of five taels of snowflake silver and three other small ingots of one or two taels.
She went back to her room, carrying the money in a wrapped cloth, and sweetly flattered Yanzhi. She promised to stop by her aunt's yard when she came back and bring some delicious food. She would eat it for Yanzhi first.
She ate the rest.
It wasn't until Yanzhi chased her away with a smile and Xiliu rolled her eyes countless times that Cao Xiwan reluctantly left.
After leaving Baihua Hall, she sneaked into the duty room to write accounts.
When Qin Meng came back from work, he saw something strange on the table. The twenty-eight taels of silver she had exchanged were placed out, shining silver in front of the window.
"What's wrong?" He was puzzled and asked Luo's mother quietly. Luo's mother couldn't help laughing and explained that the money was put out just to prove the two taels in her account. It was by no means that she was thin-skinned and couldn't do business. The two taels were indeed
It's a deposit.
That's right, Cao Xiwan felt that Liu Ruhai's strange behavior was clearly a sign of competition with her. He was plotting to compete with her for the power of the drug store. It was true that eunuchs loved to compete for power! She had to make more money to control Liu Ji firmly behind the scenes.
She has the final say in everything about the shop.
It's a pity that Liu Ruhai went to Duke Li's house again. He didn't see her big money.
"Did you quarrel with your father?" In the Hou Mansion, there was no news that could be concealed. Granny Song laughed at her when she came back.
"Well, there was a quarrel." She asked Mother Luo to help read the account book, put down the pen, and sighed, "My father hasn't come home for two or three days, and he hasn't stayed in the uncle's yard. I don't know where he went. Sooner or later
One day, someone broke his leg. I took him back to have his leg treated."
She complained again, "The first and second managers don't care about him! If we catch him and beat him a few times, he will know how powerful he is!"
Mrs. Song and Father Chen both laughed.
She optimistically thought that if she made more money, she could pay for her father's medicine. After all, having her legs broken was very painful. She couldn't be so unfilial.
The quarrel between Cao Xiwan and his father was a common occurrence in the Hou Mansion.
As for her mother, Mrs. Wu, she lives in the wing behind the night room, and she is so quiet that she seems to be alone.
She just told her daughter that Yuci would never come to her again.
But Cao Xiwan knew early on that Yuci would never go to her mother unless it was not the real Yuci.
——Is it Nanzhi?
This guy was smart and didn't die under the blue shadow and frosty sky.
As long as Mrs. Wu doesn't go back to her parents' house every day, doesn't send big and small bags to her brother and sister-in-law, and just says it's okay, it's okay when she comes home. Cao Xiwan feels that her mother is still a very worry-free mother.
Feng Junqing has spies in the Hou Mansion and is keeping an eye on the Qingluo female ghost.
She and her father were quarreling, and he could hear the news from time to time. He was not much slower than Mama Luo and Granny Song.
Feng Junqing sat in the car, thinking deeply.
The moonlight shines through the car window and onto the surface of Mochou Lake.
Unknowingly, he had returned to Xuyun Manor, dismounted and entered the inner room. The bead curtain lightly bumped, and the inner room could hear his beautiful cauldron coming out to greet him, both of them saluting: "Immortal Master."
He casually looked around, and in order to please him, one of the beauties from the cauldron put on fairy clothes and necklaces and pretended to be a fairy fairy, while the other put on a green feather dress embellished with peacock feathers.
Seeing the colorful blue feather coat, he was slightly stunned and couldn't help but close his eyes and remember that Cao Xiwan knew that the owner of Wanjian Manor had a bird feather coat, and he casually told her about it back then. He also promised to borrow it from Yang Pingcui.
, let her wear it once and enjoy it.
When she usually met him, she was dressed in a men's flying fish suit, with high spirits and a dazzling smile. He thought that Cao's father was from his hometown, and she lived a willful and prosperous life in the Hou's mansion. It turned out that she had been a washerwoman when she was a child.
, loves beautiful clothes and gorgeous clothes, and vowed to wear gorgeous clothes all over the world. He only found out later.
Such memories made him sigh.
"Go down." He lowered his face and became impatient. He didn't want to recall these useless old things.
"...Yes." The beauties trembled and quietly retreated.
