Chapter 38
Xiuzhu became excited, and smiled cutely to himself.

Yunxia, ​​who was also accompanied by the fragrance of books, had no time to think about other things. She took out "Complete History" and spread it on her lap, and couldn't wait to read it from the beginning.

Along the way, Yunxia was immersed in the book and never said a word.Seeing that the young lady was studying hard, Xiuzhu didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing the young lady.Accompanying them are only the clacking of horseshoes and occasional sounds of coachmen whipping their whips and drinking horses.

When she was almost home, Yunxia raised her head from the book, closed the book and put it down.Then she raised the little curtain at the back of the coachman, and said to the coachman, "Drive the carriage directly to the stables later."

Although the coachman didn't know why, it was the young lady's order, so he immediately answered yes.

Yunxia said to Qingxi again: "After you get off the car, go to my mother's yard and ask two servants to help carry the books and cloth bags. Also, don't let other unrelated people know, remember."

"Yes, I understand." Qingxi Nuonuo.The coachman also said that he would not talk nonsense.

Yun Xia thought that if she bought so many books, if the women in Yun Hui's family knew about it and would say or do something, it would be better to keep a low profile.

After moving all the books into the room, Xiu Zhu called Qing Luo to stack them neatly together, and according to the young lady's order, put them all in the big cabinet next to the bed.

After dinner, Yunxia asked Xiuzhu to go to the kitchen to warm up the steamed cakes, and then brought some snacks and Xiuzhu to her mother's yard.

The mother welcomed her daughter into the room, and after learning about her coming, she sent her maid, Xiangmei, to fetch Yunxiao, and then left Xiuzhu to watch outside, while the mother and daughter chatted inside.

Yunxia told her mother about what she saw and heard about going to the restaurant today. Her mother hadn't paid much attention to this restaurant that belonged to her. When her daughter said that the restaurant was in a good location and the business should be good, she thought about it.

In the past, when Xia'er's grandmother was here, life in the General's Mansion was always very comfortable.The cost of food and clothing is not only the best, but it is also considered first-class.At that time, even the servants of the general's mansion held their heads up when they went out, proudly accepting the envious eyes of others.

Later, Xia'er's grandmother passed away, and the financial power of the mansion was handed over to the old woman, who seized them all.In just a few years, the life of the general's mansion is not as good as before.The old woman often complained in front of her, saying that the house was not easy to manage.How the business is declining, the harvest of the farms outside the city is not as good as the year after year, the generals stationed at the border can't control the family at all, and the family's expenses are too high... In short, it seems that she has broken her heart for this family, and she can maintain it like this It was not easy and almost exhausted her energy.

At that time, Yun Xianiang felt that it was not easy for the old woman to manage the house, and she couldn't help much, so she proposed to take less monthly bills, and the old woman immediately praised her for being sensible and courteous.

She remembered that day when the old woman smiled all over her face, she took her hand and said, "I know you still love my mother the most. Then it's settled. Starting next month, you and Yun Huiniang will lose five taels of silver every month. The personal maids are also reduced by [-] coppers, and the servants, who have monthly exceptions, are all reduced proportionally. Oh, this mother can breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise this family will not be able to be a mother."

Yunxia smiled and said sincerely: "Mother has worked hard, it's really great to be able to share a little bit for Mother."

Next month, the old woman did what she said, and slashed the monthly money of all the people.Yunxia Niang was naturally the first to bear the brunt.

After half a year, Xiangmei accidentally overheard the two maids in the second room discussing behind the scenes, and then realized that her wife had been cheated.The monthly payment of the second lady was not low at all, and it actually increased; even her confidant maids also received the same monthly payment as before.Co-authoring, the old lady pointed to the pit on the side of the big lady.

Mei Xiang gritted her teeth and told the eldest lady when she returned.After hearing this, the eldest lady was still a little angry.However, she said to Mei Xiang at that time: "This is just gossip you heard, it is not clear whether the matter is like this, please don't say anything, let's check it out before we talk about it."

Mei Xiang had no choice but to suppress the anger in her stomach, and quietly investigated according to Da Furen's orders, and finally found out that it was true.The Da Furen understood the truth, her face turned pale with anger, and she sat down on the stool with her hands on her heart.

In fact, Yun Xianiang didn't care about the monthly money of five taels of silver, she just used more of the money and used less of it.What she cared about was that she was so deceived by her that she devoted herself to sharing the old lady's worries.

Yun Xianiang's heart shrank tightly as if being soaked in bone-chilling icy water, throbbing with pain.

"Madam, let's go find the old lady." Mei Xiang shouted unwillingly.

Yun Xianiang waved her hand: "Forget it, I won't go back on my promise. It doesn't matter if you lose five taels, and I won't be hungry. But Mei Xiang, I will make up for your monthly money."

"Madam, I don't want you to love me. The servants in this yard don't know that you are kind-hearted. You never treat everyone badly. You often use your natal dowry to pay us. Madam, everyone thinks of you well. I will not agree with you to make up this month's money. I just think that the old lady is doing too much. Our general worked so hard outside to support this family, but in the end it was taken over by the second room, which makes people feel uncomfortable Qu." The more Xiangmei said, the more angry she became, and the veins on her neck appeared.

Yun Xianiang closed her eyes, and said in a warm voice: "Xiangmei, I know your loyalty, I accept this love, just go to the old lady, I don't want to be idle."

Xiangmei burst into tears, but the wife had already spoken, so she couldn't say anything.

Since then, Yunxia's heart has been chilled, and there is not much to talk to that old woman.The old woman always thought that she had kept everything secret, and she talked about it in front of Yun Xianiang from time to time, saying that thanks to saving money, the family's life was barely going on, and she lied so confidently.

……

Yunxia told her daughter what she was thinking, Yunxia snorted and said: "What an old woman, she is a duplicitous thing, does she really think that she can keep playing with us in her hands? Mother, in the face of such bad guys, we should You can't be merciful, you must get all your dowry back immediately!"

I saw my daughter's face flushed, her small hands clenched into fists and placed on the table, her voice forcefully announced her decision, Yun Xia'er's eyes were a little moist, Xia'er is so firm and courageous now, like a husband, she also has a It's the demeanor of a general.

"Good Xia'er, I promise you, no matter how the old woman stops me this time, I will take back what belongs to me." Mother made up her mind.

As soon as the words fell, Yunxiao's clear and clear child's voice came from outside: "Mother, sister, I'm here." Then, she swept in like a small whirlwind, and plunged into her mother's arms.

Yunxia removed the veil covering the ring cake, and the golden ring cake appeared in front of Yun Xiao, and the little guy's eyes widened instantly: "Sister, what kind of dessert is this?"

"This is called ring cake, also called You Sanzi, it's delicious, eat it quickly."

Yun Xiao unceremoniously picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. Fatty immediately showed a delicious expression on his face, his eyes were bent into a slit, his nose was wrinkled together, and he wriggled his small mouth, enjoying the delicious food.

"Mother, you can eat too." Yun Xia urged her mother.

Mother smiled and ate a piece, nodding while eating, saying that the taste was really good.

Yunxia gave Xiangmei another big piece, but Xiangmei said she couldn't do it, and dared not take it.Mother said: "Miss, you can take it." Xiangmei thanked Madam and Miss, and then took it.

Looking at her younger brother, who was full of greasy food, Yunxia remembered the old lady's rules, and she didn't want to cause trouble, so she reminded him that this is the food that the old lady dislikes the most, so don't let her know that we have eaten it.

With a big mouthful of ring cake in his mouth, Yun Xiao nodded obediently.When he swallowed the ring cake in his mouth, he asked curiously: "Why doesn't the old lady like ring cake?" In his little mind, it never occurred to him that there are people who would not like such a delicious snack. I like it, it's so strange.

Yunxia also wanted to know what was going on, so she turned her head and asked her mother, "Yes, mother, do you know the reason?"
