Since returning to Xiaojia Village, Mu Ningxue began to take the initiative to run the family, of course, only focusing on the trivial matters at hand, and did not think of doing the Xu family's family affairs without the permission of his wife.

But when it came to the exchange of money, Mu Ningxue realized that something was wrong, there were more than 37,000 taels of silver in her husband's small account room, and the bluffed Mu Ningxue hurriedly asked her husband what was going on, you obviously don't care where you got so much silver?

She didn't know that the Xu family's industrial and family affairs were deliberately stirred up like a mess by Xu Hao. Except for Xu Hao himself, the whole family has a black eye, and they only know the little industry and income in their hands.

The account book of the Xu family is a confused account, and the details of the transactions can only be understood by Xu Hao and his henchmen, and there is a small account that has been managed by Xu Qinglian, and now it has been transferred to Hongye.

It is reasonable to say that the Xu family tacitly divided the family property and passed its own way, but the old lady is still alive, just like not separating the family, and there is Zhu Qiaoqiao in the family to stand on his own mountain, and the red leaves and the girls have their own business, and they are messy and tangled together. Therefore, they didn't care about the accounts of the public school, and when they needed to spend money, they sent someone to collect it.

Take Xu Cuitao's family affairs as an example, half of the dowry is the money from Xiao and Zhu Qiaoqiao, and the eldest wife Wang acquiesces to this situation, as for the expenses of each room on weekdays, more than half of it is paid by the account room of the public middle school, as for where does the money in the account room come from? Zhu Qiaoqiao, who is in charge of the account room, only knows a rough idea.

Now living in the long house of Xu Mansion in the capital, Xu Yaozu and his wife think that the money and grain in the monthly account are all from the Grange shop under Zhu Qiaoqiao's name.

Don't you know that Zhu Qiaoqiao firmly holds her share of property, unless she is willing to take it out, otherwise no one will want to take advantage of her.

Although Zhu Qiaoqiao is far away in Beiping, he has a confidant family member who stays in the capital to take care of his industry, and the total income has dropped by more than half due to the great environmental impact this year, and he has to come up with money and grain in order to appease the tenants. And who doesn't have a few poor relatives below? Once the expenses such as borrowing debts and rewarding are calculated, it is a blessing to be able to offset the expenses this year. And the whole Xu family is not like this? I had to live frugally, but the silver came home like flowing water, so that I thought that other houses had a good way to make money.

The people who feel this most deeply are the three old men and his wife who are officials in Texas, and the people under their rule do not have enough to eat, and they naturally have a hard time as parents and officials, and it is inevitable that the officialdom will be ushered in, and it is not enough to support the people.

The third wife, Liu, has changed her temperament a lot since her son's disappearance, and she no longer cares about money and only wants her husband and son to be safe, so she categorically refused her mother's family to go to Texas for refuge.

Liu's wish came true, and she became an official wife who made a promise. After personally managing the family, I realized that it was not easy for the second sister-in-law to run the family for many years in the past, and the family who took refuge in the family earlier belonged to the most three-room, among which there were many people who were lazy and lazy, and after a long time, everyone was lazy to do things and scramble to think about the benefits, resulting in everyone counting on the main family to feed, for which Liu was very troubled, and the cost of eating alone every day was ten taels of silver.

At this time, after a long time, Liu often blushed when he thought about it, thanks to the family, he never cared, his son and daughter were not around, and all the expenses were paid by the second brother and sister-in-law. Not only do you not hand over a tael of silver in a year, but you have to reach out to your family to ask for four or five thousand taels of silver? If one day the offering is cut off, how will you live? Do you want to be cheeky and go back to Beijing to ask for it?

The couple, who finally understood that it was not easy to run a family, simply dismissed more than half of the family members who had taken refuge at the beginning of the year. Leave honest and reliable.

Because they personally felt the suffering of the people, Xu Zengfu and his wife had a premonition that this year would not be better since the beginning of the year, and they knew that the Dezhou Mansion was located on the main road of water and land transportation, and they did not dare to do business in private. Tighten your belt and save some money for your family.

Liu understood that it was not easy for his sister-in-law's family to have a big business, so he wrote to inform him that there was no need to send silver. Who knew that there were still five hundred taels of silver sent every month, which made Liu, who was used to spending money generously, secretly grateful in his heart.

And this silver was actually not sent by the Xiao family, and even the family did not know about it, saying that the Xiao family, even if they were virtuous, would not let the third brother and his wife squander, and would have written a letter to warn and inform the old lady.

In Zhuyuan's bedroom, when Xu Hao told his wife the truth about the transaction in his hand, Mu Ningxue was already speechless in shock, and sighed for a long time: "No wonder you never care about money, I have calculated your family's daily use more than once in the past, at that time I was still worried, the luxury is too much, and sooner or later I will have to lose the family's foundation, who knows that your family's silver is like the tip of the iceberg." ”

Xu Hao smiled very innocently: "I don't know how to partner with people casually, I can make so much money in a year, there is too much silver and there is no place to put it, so I want to take it out and spend it for the whole family, last year's New Year was not working, my mother and sister-in-law tossed all the cash, who knew that only three days later, five thousand taels of silver." ”

Mu Ningxue said angrily: "It turns out that you and your eldest brother have long been embarrassed, and they actually joined forces to deceive me, and I don't know how many tears were shed in vain." No, you'll have to pay me. ”

Xu Hao threw Ning Xue down on the bed, leaned over on his soft chest, and said with a smile: "All the industries will be compensated to you." ”

Mu Ningxue smiled and stretched out her hand to block her husband's arch in front of his chest, and it took a long time to break free, lying on the bed in disheveled clothes and worried: "I'm afraid I can't take care of it, the second brother and sister-in-law went to Yunnan, my mother is lazy by nature and never pays attention to family affairs, I have to help my mother's family take care of daily needs." At first, I thought that your mother and sister-in-law were in charge of the family affairs here, so I just had enough to worry about the trivial matters here, who knew that you secretly had so much business, God, how many palaces do you have to do with it? ”

Xu Hao said with a smile: "Which palace has it, it was originally a partnership with Zhu Shangbing, the king of Qin, to open a silver mine, but I didn't expect it to be a million profits, and then in the big hall when I had nothing to do, I opened a gold mine, opened a silver mine, opened a wine shop, opened a jewelry store, and there are special products in the palaces all over the country, write to your eldest brother and ask him to help take care of the business in Yunnan, relying on the shops all over the Yanwang Mansion to sell goods from the south to the north, who knows that it is gradually out of control." In fact, most of these businesses are rootless duckweed, and they may be gone one day, and this year we have to put away the money in case of emergency. ”

Mu Ningxue suddenly asked: "I said that you and the third brother were sneaky when you were in Wendeng County, and the nine-year-old Prince Lu Wang Shizi had nothing to do, so dare you plan to open a gold and silver mine in Shandong, right?" ”

Xu Hao couldn't put it down, playing with his wife's little hands, kneading and kneading. explained: "Zhu Zhaoxuan is not easy, his father died of taking Jin Dan before he was born, how favored was Concubine Guo Ning, the biological mother of King Lu, when she was alive?" Since the queen and Concubine Li Shu passed away one after another, the palace respected her, but she lost her beloved son and went away a few years after she became ill.

Speaking of Concubine Ning and Concubine Hui are cousins, when they entered the palace on the same day, Concubine Ning was favored but unfortunately only gave birth to a son of King Lu. And Concubine Hui gave birth to three boys and two girls, and later came to the top and her mother's family together with the unspeakably expensive.

Zhu Zhaoxuan's father was deceased when he was born, and the princess and the princess depended on each other. Thanks to the help of his uncle who shaved his hair and saved him from death. Thinking about the absurdity of King Lu's death, Bixia was very evil because he gave the name of the barren, and the imperial property guards were all cut off, poor Zhu Zhaoxuan was not yet ten years old and could not inherit the county prince, and he had been very poor in his hands, and he naturally had to take him with him if there was a good thing. ”

Mu Ningxue Bingxue is smart, as soon as she heard it, she knew that her husband and third brother had a wishful thinking of enjoying the shade under the big tree, no matter how bad Zhu Zhaoxuan was, he was also the only son of the former prince, how noble was his status? Once he was ten years old, he was canonized as the king of the county by the imperial court. Will you be short of money in your hands? But they had to put on a benefactor face.

Xu Hao also knew that he couldn't hide it from his wife, and said with a smile: "Okay, this mining operation must be led by the palace, otherwise the risk is too great." Naturally, I want to be with Zhu Zhaoxuan. ”

Mu Ningxue said worriedly: "Now that you have earned enough money, why take risks?" ”

Xu Hao sighed: "Building a water master is a money-burning business, and besides, we have adopted so many people in the past six months, how can we raise adults without money?" ”

Mu Ningxue's face was red and fluttered, allowing her husband to play with her little hands. said: "Can't it be handed over to the imperial court?" Why bother to bear it yourself, you are not afraid of being reported and losing your life, even if you are kept at home. If there are too many slaves, they will be questioned if they exceed the etiquette. ”

Xu Hao groaned and said for a long time: "I will make proper arrangements for this matter, you are right, this kind of thing cannot be prevented." ”

Mu Ningxue smiled with relief and said softly: "It's late at night, husband should rest early." ”

Xu Hao sighed and said, "Is it red leaves or green frost to sleep with you tonight?" ”

Mu Ningxue said with a smile: "The two of them don't let each other go, so they naturally accompany me together." By the way, I'm going to talk to my mother tonight. ”

Xu Hao said angrily: "I wonder, I haven't seen anyone sleeping and living with you in the past, why are you obsessed with you now?" It's like I can't live without you. ”

Mu Ningxue got up with a smile and walked to the dresser Yingying sat down, and took a picture of the bronze mirror, without applying grease powder, the color on her face was like peach blossom dew, and she was full of energy, "Zhiyan come in." ”

Xu Hao lay on the bed and watched the curtain be lifted, Zhiyan came in with a plate of butter cakes filled with roses, and said with a smile: "Miss, you are hungry, you just made haode." ”

Mu Ningxue snorted lightly and said, "Hurry up and bring it to your young master, duplicity." Tonight, I will go to Tianxiang Pavilion to accompany my mother, you and Zhiqing are waiting for Hao'er, what he wants to do is up to him, just remember your duty. ”

Zhi Yanqiao's face flushed, and she said unhappily: "I don't want it, I want to accompany the young lady, and ask Zhiqing to accompany the young master." ”

Mu Ningxue glanced at Xu Hao and said: "That girl is dead set on him, what he wants to do is not obedient, once my mother finds out, except for Hao'er, even I can't protect her when she arrives, why bother to have an accident?" ”

Zhiyan smiled and said, "The young master refuses to round the room for the sake of the young lady, so continue to sleep alone." ”

"It's not big, it's not too small." Mu Ningxue frowned and said: "Hao'er is eighteen years old, and the blood is strong, and the young master of the family is thirteen or fourteen years old, who doesn't have one or two rooms?" We can't just look after ourselves, if you don't want to, then that's it. ”

Zhiyan suddenly cried and said, "I didn't say I didn't want to." ”

Mu Ningxue sneered and said, "You complain a lot in the house, so you can ask Amber Qiuwen to go over with me." ”

Zhiyan lowered her head and said, "Miss, did you talk to the young master?" ”

Mu Ningxue suddenly looked uncertain, and Xu Hao said when she saw this: "Yesterday, a pearl secretly told me, your father will be the second housekeeper, and he will continue to be a housekeeper after living with him in the future, Li Qiu is only temporary, there is no need to be jealous of his young age." ”

Zhiyan was speechless in surprise and joy, Mu Ningxue glared at her fiercely, and just as she was about to explain, Xu Hao smiled and said: "You can't have a powerful person around you, and I have always been negligent in ignoring personnel." With so many people marrying, who will be convinced if you don't arrange a housekeeper and a few housekeepers? It's not about intrigue, it's about making a bowl of water even. ”

Mu Ningxue smiled bitterly: "Thank you for your understanding, I have been pressing down for the past half a year, but as soon as I came back, they regarded my mother as the backbone, and it reached your ears without my permission." ”

Xu Hao said casually: "What's so embarrassing to fight if you have to fight?" Even if the elders are unreasonable orders, you should go back and go back, you don't have to endure everything and blindly think about the overall situation, when you encounter difficulties, just tell me directly, don't be bored in your heart, is my Xu Hao's wife an ordinary woman? ”

"Hmm!" At this moment, Mu Ningxue is as delicate as a flower. (To be continued......)
