After the rebirth, the concubine, she went crazy

Chapter 17
"Mother Cui, what are the properties of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the shops in the city?" Xie Chen asked.

Nanny Cui helped take care of it all the year round, so she knew it by heart: "There are three shops in the south of the city, including a tailor shop and a pawn shop, two gold and silver shops in the west, and a restaurant in the north. The property is in the suburbs of Beijing. There are three or four miles of land, there are individual courtyards there, and people take care of them all the year round, and the accounting books seem to be relatively easy."

Xie Chen nodded, she had never been to the other courtyard in the suburbs, and she didn't know how the people in charge of it were.But after listening to the shops in the city, she probably knew which ones they were.

"Well, mother, please teach me to look at the account books." Xie Chen asked for advice.

Nanny Cui nodded, and then seriously taught Xie Chen how to look at these account books, and told her how to organize them.

Time passed quickly, and by the time Xie Chen had finished his studies, it was almost dark.

"I'm going to be busy today, Mammy. I asked Yulian to prepare some snacks. Mammy can take it home and taste it with the family." Xie Chen's words contained gratitude to Mammy Cui. Although she was not close to Xie Chen, she also Taught her a lot.

Hearing this sentence, Nanny Cui had a strange expression on her face, and was about to open her mouth to refuse, Xie Chen seemed to know what she was going to say, took the box and stuffed it into Nanny Cui's arms, and said, "Don't Don't reject me anymore, otherwise you have taught me so much, I can't repay you, and I will feel uncomfortable."

Nanny Cui could only take back her refusal, and said, "Thank you miss, that servant will leave first."

Xie Chen nodded and watched Cui Mama's back as she left.

When Nanny Cui walked away, she looked at Yinhuan and Yulian in the room: "Who of you know about Nanny Cui's family?" There should be nothing wrong with what she just said, but she saw the expression on Nanny Cui's face, It feels a little strange.

Could it be that something happened to Madam Cui's family?

Yinhuan and Yulian glanced at each other, shook their heads, and Yulian spoke first: "Madam Cui doesn't seem to talk so much with outsiders."

Yinhuan seemed to have remembered something, and added: "I heard people talking before, and it seems that Mother Cui and their mother and son are at odds, so there should be a son."

After Xie Chen heard that Mother Cui's mother and son were at odds, he thought that he might have said something wrong that made Mother Cui sad, so he could only avoid mentioning this topic in the future.

Yulian said to Xie Chen at this time: "Miss, it's time for us to go to the main hall for dinner."

On weekdays, Xie Chen eats mostly for himself, but tomorrow he will go to the National Temple to pray for blessings, Prime Minister Xie must have something to explain during dinner, and Aunt Jing doesn't know if she will be a demon tonight.

"Let's go, pack up and let's go to the main hall for dinner." Xie Chen said.

When Xie Chen took Yinhuan and the others to the main hall, everyone was already there. Mrs. Xie was sitting in the middle seat, and when she saw Xie Chen, she smiled and said to her, "Come on, Chen'er, sit next to grandma."

Xie Chen has been busy with family affairs recently, and he hasn't seen his grandmother for a few days. He walked towards Mrs. Xie's direction, finished it, and said with a smile: "Recently, Chen'er didn't go to pay his respects to grandma, and grandma won't It's weird."

After the old lady Xie heard it, the smile on her face became more obvious, and she patted Xie Chen's head lovingly: "Why would grandma blame you? Chen'er has been busy with housekeeping recently, and her face looks a little smaller. It's too late for grandma to be distressed."

Xie Chen felt a little guilty, after all, he only ate so much at Chunfenglou at noon, so he could only hold his grandmother's hand and coquettishly say, "Where is Chen'er thinner? She is obviously fatter, so grandma will lie to Chen'er."

Looking at the old grandparents friendship between Mrs. Xie and Xie Chen, the expressions of the people at the dinner table were different. Prime Minister Xie looked indifferent, and Aunt Jing also maintained her usual false smile. Xie Wan couldn't control her expression when she was young. , showing jealousy on his face.

"Father, why didn't Aunt Lan and Xie Han come?" Xie Chen knew that except for the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, Prime Minister Xie would not call Aunt Lan and the others for dinner, but this time she asked on purpose.

After Prime Minister Xie heard it, there was no change on his face, he just said: "I'm not here on weekdays, they are greedy and clean, so let them stay in your yard."

After Prime Minister Xie finished speaking, Aunt Jing also spoke: "Chen'er has gotten very close to Aunt Lan and her mother and son recently."

In a word, it was nothing at first, but now that Xie Chen is in the housekeeper, one has to think that Xie Chen is deliberately trying to win over Aunt Lan and the others.

The expression on Prime Minister Xie's face became subtle, and Xie Wan took advantage of the situation to add fuel and jealousy: "My sister went to repair Aunt Lan's place yesterday, she was really kind."

The words of Aunt Jing's mother and daughter sound like they are expressing their gratitude, but in fact, it is true that they have ulterior motives to win over Aunt Lan's gratitude.

"That's enough. Chen'er and Han'er are siblings. It's a good thing to be close." Mrs. Xie couldn't bear to watch from the sidelines, and spoke, trying to make this matter go away.

Xie Chen took the old lady Xie's hand to comfort her, then raised his head and smiled at Aunt Jing and the others: "Chen'er was young before, so I don't know how hard Auntie's housekeeper is."

After finishing speaking, he continued without waiting for others to open his mouth: "Chen'er wanted to learn from Auntie, so I went to Xie Han's place to have a look, and found that Auntie Lan's yard was full of damp bedding, and the windows were ventilated, not to mention Speaking of other things, my daughter was afraid that it would make people laugh, so she took the initiative to renovate the place."

Xie Chen said and looked at Prime Minister Xie, "My daughter also learns from my aunt. If I do something wrong, I will ask my father to punish me."

Xie Chen said that he was learning from Aunt Jing, but Aunt Lan’s yard has become like that, and Aunt Jing hasn’t moved at all. It’s really a joke when it gets out. Xie Chen can help with the renovation but does better than Aunt Jing. What’s wrong?
Prime Minister Xie glanced at Aunt Jing, then turned to Xie Chen, and said to her, "Chen'er has done a good job, and I am very pleased for my father." He didn't care about Aunt Lan's situation, nor did he say anything about Aunt Jing's favoritism before. .

Aunt Jing squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, guilt appeared on her face, but she didn't admit her mistake, Xie Wan instead opened her mouth to complain for her.

"My mother has so many things to do on weekdays, how could she notice Aunt Lan and their mother and son?" Xie Wan looked at Xie Chen's hypocritical look, and spoke for Aunt Jing.

Aunt Jing hurriedly stopped Xie Wan, and patted Xie Wan as if to tell her to stop talking, then looked at Prime Minister Xie with wet eyes: "Master, it's because I'm not good enough, it's because Jingyun is incompetent." He knelt down and admitted his mistake.

When Prime Minister Xie saw Aunt Jing's teary eyes, his heart ached. He hurriedly pulled her and said, "Jingyun, what are you doing? You are still pregnant. It was not easy to manage the big and small things in the house before, and you have suffered."

Aunt Jing looked deeply moved by Prime Minister Xie, and Xie Chen broke the harmonious scene: "Auntie, what father said is right, you should not move too much when you are pregnant, but the road to the National Temple is bumpy tomorrow. It's not appropriate."

What Xie Chen said was all for Aunt Jing's sake, and there was a very concerned expression on his face.
