Mother Quan and mother LAN brought the baby over. Because it's hot now, except for the clothes they wear, they only cover a very thin quilt, which 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." Finish saying, poked the Xuan elder brother son that pokes to sleep is fragrant. Xuan Ge'er kicks his lower leg in protest, and then goes on sleeping.
Tu Qingmei said with admiration: "it's very good." With that, he took out the three gold long-life locks he had prepared and said, "I didn't catch up with the washing ceremony. Now I'll make it up."
Yuxi also didn't refuse, let the servant girl accept: "wait for next time to come over, will purple Yao they bring over, all more than three years didn't see."
Tu Qingmei explained: "the children have a long journey. They are not used to it when they just arrive at ho Cheng. I will bring them here next time." Several children are uncomfortable when they arrive at ho Cheng. How dare she bring them here like this.
Yuxi nodded and asked, "by the way, has ziyao been practicing calligraphy these years?" At the beginning, she sent a calligraphy to ziyao!
Tu Qingmei said happily, "yes, I practice for half an hour every day. Now my handwriting is much better than before."
Just then, Liu Er took Qi Hao's hand and came in. Before Liu er said that he would not take Qihao, but it turned out to be the opposite. Yuxi wanted Liu Er to take Qihao this month. Liu er's heart is very unwilling, but she doesn't want to disobey Yu Xi, can only reluctantly agree. At the beginning, Liu Er broke down, but now she is used to it.
Seeing Yuxi, Qihao staggers to the bed and shouts happily: "Niang." Then try to climb up and get to bed.
Yuxi takes him to bed. Liu er said: "Niang, they are still in bed! Ah Hao is so naughty. If you let him go to bed, what will they do in case of hitting his second younger brother? " Since he began to take Qihao, Liu Er began to talk more.
Many people don't understand why Yuxi did it? There are so many maids in the mansion that it's unnecessary for Liu Er to take them. Only mother Quan knew that Yuxi was cultivating Liu er's patience, and by the way, she also asked her sister and brother to cultivate more feelings.
Yuxi said with a smile: "it doesn't matter if I'm here."
Liu Er hears this, this just went up to help Qi Hao take off shoes. He took off his shoes and said, "be good, you can't beat your brother, you know?" Before Qi Hao clapped his hand on Liu er's face, the pain made Liu er's tears come out.
Kai Hao now speak more clearly, said: "mother, brother, play." He meant to play with his brothers.
Yuxi took the handkerchief, wiped the sweat on Qihao's forehead, and said with a smile, "my brothers are still small now. You can play with them in another two years." In another two years, Kai Hao will have to enlighten. I don't have time to play.
Tu looked at liu'er and said in surprise, "ah, is this the second princess? Is the second princess really good-looking? " A four-year-old looks so outstanding. He'll be great when he grows up!
Yuxi nodded with a smile and said, "well, this is Liu ER and this is Qihao." Then he said to liu'er and Qihao, "liu'er, Qihao, this is my aunt."
Liu Er called in a soft voice, and Kai Hao called in a loud voice: "good aunt."
This loud voice directly wakes up the sleeping three brothers. As soon as the three children wake up, they are asking for milk.
It was more than a quarter of an hour after feeding the three children. Yuxi toward Tu Qingmei said with a smile: "all said to sit on the moon to be pure, I this every day is not noisy."
Tu Qingmei was a straightforward girl with no twists and turns. When she heard this, she said with a smile, "you are so hateful. I don't want to be disturbed! " Which woman has four sons and has to walk across the house!
Yuxi said: "since you plan to live in Ho City, you must have your own house? Ready to buy most? I'll ask Han Ji to inquire for you. " Han Ji is the housekeeper of Pingxi palace, and he knows these things very well.
Tu Qingmei shook her head and said, "let housekeeper Han help me find a house. Isn't it overqualified?" It's said that Yunqing is the eldest in the northwest. As the chief steward of Pingxi palace, Han Ji works outside, and everyone has to call Han Ye. However, Han Ji is very low-key and never bullies others. Because Han Ji is cautious, those who don't like him can't find a chance to deal with him.
Yu Xi holds Tu Qingmei's hand and says, "I really treat you as my sister. You don't have to be polite to me. If you need any help, just open your mouth."
Tu Qingmei shook her head and said, "Yuxi, I'm not going to buy a big house this time. I just want to buy a yard with two entrances."
Yuxi was a little strange and asked, "it's too small. Ziyao and Jingyao have no separate courtyard in the future." After that, Yuxi asked again, "isn't the money enough?" The house price of Ho City is not comparable to that of Yu city.
Tu Qingmei did not deceive Yuxi, saying: "I'm afraid to buy a big yard. My sister-in-law and her family come to the city of Ho, and then they will have to live with us." She really doesn't want to live with that sister-in-law. In recent years, she was also the master of the country. How could she be willing to be oppressed again. No matter how old he is, he doesn't want to be in Ho City.
Yuxi hasn't paid much attention to the Zhao family in recent years. It's strange to hear this: "won't it? Your mother-in-law is in Xinping city. As the eldest daughter-in-law, she doesn't stay in her hometown to serve the elderly and take care of her husband. What's she doing in Ho City? "
Tu Qingmei is the kind of person who has a lot to say, and does not hide from Yu Xi, saying: "the Zhao family used to do medicine business, and every house had a lot of dividends every year. Since the end of the business, dividends have been cut off. My elder brother-in-law and my elder sister-in-law are used to extravagance, and their food and use are the same as before. In addition, my elder brother-in-law now has four aunts and seven children, and the cost is more than twice as much as before. There are only a few shops in my family and the income of 800 mu of good land. What's enough? " At present, some of the medicinal materials in Northwest China are supplied by Wu Kuo and some by caravans. Without the intermediate link, only the medicinal materials save a lot every year.
Yu Xi frowned and said, "you haven't separated yet?" Without separation, Dafang is so extravagant that Tu Qingmei and his wife will suffer a great loss.
Tu Qingmei said with a bitter smile: "at the beginning, the second master sent all the money he got home. Only after he got tengge'er did he know how to plan for his family. " Teng Ge'er is the concubine's son.
Yuxi really didn't know these things: "in the past three years in Xining, didn't you have a hard time with a few children?" In Northwest China, the administration of officials is very clear now, and corruption and bribery rarely happen. Moreover, Zhao Hao's position is not high, even if there is filial piety, there will not be many.
Tu Qingmei shook her head and said, "it's not hard to suffer. It's just the way the family is now. Ziyao and Jingyao will not have much dowry when they get married. As a mother, I want to make more plans for them. "
Yuxi said with a smile: "don't think about it. Ziyao is only 11 years old this year. There are still five or six years to get married. Don't worry. Moreover, dowry is the second, mainly to find a better family. " If the person you are looking for is not good, red makeup is useless.
Tu Qingmei nodded and said, "this is the reason, but I want to prepare more for my children when I am a mother."
Yuxi nodded with a smile and said, "it's the same idea that makes a mother. By the way, how do you know your sister-in-law will come to Ho City? "
Tu Qingmei said, "someone has sent me a letter in the mansion. My sister-in-law knew that my child and I were going to live in Ho City, so she encouraged my elder brother-in-law to say that there are many famous doctors in Ho City, and that coming to Ho City could not cure his injuries. " Zhao Zhuo has been decadent since he was injured and disabled. In the past few years, I have four concubines and five children. Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao want to manage it, but they can't manage it at all. They have to leave it to him.
Yuxi thought about it and said, "if so, it's useless for you to buy two houses. You can't help it when they insist on coming in. "
Tu Qingmei said: "it's difficult to buy one."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "how much money did your mother-in-law give you to settle down this time?" There's no separation of families. If you buy a house here, you'll have to pay a part of it.
Tu Qingmei said, "my mother-in-law sent me two thousand taels of silver." In Ho City, as long as you don't choose a prosperous location, you can buy a courtyard with three entrances for two thousand taels of silver. If the location is good, you can only buy a second one.
It's fair that Mrs. Zhao has an accident. But no matter how fair it is, there are also partiality. The eldest son has been abandoned, and the second son has a good future. In the future, he will be partial to Dafang. Yuxi said, "if trouble comes, you can't avoid it. You don't want to avoid trouble to buy a yard with two entrants. This yard may have to live for a lifetime! Or buy a courtyard with three entrances, so the two sisters have their own courtyard. "
Tu Qingmei nodded her head and said, "I think it's my fault." After a pause, Tu Qingmei said, "I still have some money on hand. I want to buy two shops. After a few years, ziyao and Jingyao got married in these two shops. It's just that I'm not familiar with Ho City, and I don't like to trouble my aunt... "If Yu Xi could say these words to her, she would not be polite any more.
Yuxi said with a smile: "let Han Ji inquire about it for you, and you won't suffer a loss at that time." Han Ji is sure to get a discount.
After a while, Tu Qingmei went home.
In the evening, Yunqing came back and said something to Yuxi: "Yuxi, the summer harvest in Jiangnan this year is very good. It should not be worse than last year." Yuxi said that there might be drought in Jiangnan, but in fact, not only was there no drought, but the weather was good.
Yuxi said with a smile: "is there anything ugly?" Looking at the appearance of cloud engine, you know it's not a good thing.
Yunqing also did not hide from Yuxi, said: "yubaojia will we had written to his official letter posted out, said we harbored evil, deliberately spread rumors."
Yuxi didn't care about these words at all, and said: "they can say whatever they like, and don't care. By the way, since Jiangnan has a good summer harvest this year, we can take the opportunity to buy more grain. " Anyway, when the flood came, there was nothing left. Instead, it's better to buy more and save more.
Cloud Qing was not able to laugh or cry, and said: "we can't put down our granary. Do you want to buy it? Are you addicted to food He really didn't feel the need to buy food.
Yuxi said: "I'm not joking. What we store is potato. We should save more rice and noodles. He Rui, I want Wu Kuo to buy one million stone grain in Anhui and Jiangxi. The price is not a problem, but it must be guaranteed to arrive in the northwest within two months. " Grain purchased from Anhui and Jiangxi can be transported to the northwest from Hubei. The relationship in Hubei has been dredged. In recent years, everything has been transported from Hubei.
Cloud engine looking at Yuxi this way, asked: "even if there is a drought in northwest, we have enough food to eat northwest people for more than a year." What Yun Qing said did not include the grain on hand.
Yuxi said: "I'm not saying that we store potato, no rice and noodles. This time, we have made up for all kinds of grain.
Yun Qing said in silence: "not to mention the stored grain, but the corn and wheat in the field are growing well this year. Yuxi, I really don't think we need to buy more grain? "
Yuxi's mind can't help but come up with the tragic situation of AI Hong's savage cannibalism. He can't help shivering. Yuxi said firmly, "it's necessary, it's necessary. Hurui, a million Dan of grain is only 2.3 million taels of silver. We have money and can afford it now. "
"We spent more than two million silver on the acquisition of potato this year," Yunqing said in a funny and angry way This is still a lot of potato left in the hands of the people, otherwise it would cost more than three million silver.
Yuxi said, "didn't Yongcheng send 20000 taels of gold last month? Anyway, I can't use it for the time being. Let's use it to buy food first! "
Cloud Qing is not willing to say: "this twenty thousand taels of gold can be used to buy other things."
No matter what Yuxi says this time, Yunqing doesn't agree. Jade Xi sees this, can say only: "since you don't want, that calculate."
In fact, Yuxi is not an easy compromise person. The next day, he wrote a letter and asked mother Quan to give it to Xu Wu. Mother Quan said, "the princess said it's not suitable for the prince to know. Please don't tell the prince about it."
Xu Wu asked, "why can't you tell the Lord?"
Mother Quan didn't hide it from Xu Wu, saying: "this letter is from the princess who asked Wu Kuo to buy another one million stone grains. Unfortunately, the prince didn't agree. This is the only way the princess can do it This letter is for Wu Kuo.
Xu Wu said, "there's a lot of grain in the northwest, so there's no need to buy any more?"
Seeing Xu Wu's hesitation, mother Quan said, "what kind of temperament is the princess? You should know. Now that she has decided to do so, it must be for the same reason. "
Xu Wu thought about it and nodded: "OK, I'll send the letter to Wu Kuo now. But I'll tell you later. "
Mother Quan said, "it will be later, or the Lord will send someone to recover the letter." She doesn't want to make it useless.
Xu Wu nodded and agreed.
