As Aunt Xiu expected, Mrs. Qiutai frowned.

"My concubine asked the kitchen to prepare white fungus and red date soup. Since the old lady and the Marquis are here with the ancestors, I can go and have someone bring it to me." Ruxiu is a smart person, so naturally she won't stand here and watch the mother and son argue, let alone She also relates to the subject of their dispute.

Qiu Yiran nodded approvingly and waved her out.

Seeing the door curtain hanging down again, Mrs. Qiu said: "When Mrs. Xu enters the door, she becomes the mistress of the family. The most important thing is to expand the branches of the Qiu family and manage the middle school. As for Zuixiangfang, Yi'er and I have already agreed Half of the profit goes to Aunt Xiu's private house. How can we let Mrs. Xu take care of it and let outsiders know? Doesn't it mean that the Qiu family has no rules and the mistress makes money for Aunt Xiu? Besides, Aunt Xiu has worked hard for the house. Zhang Luo, how can a family like ours do that thing of burning bridges across rivers? It’s better to let Aunt Xiu take care of it. With a manager and a shopkeeper, it’s not a hard task, and I have an old bone to guide me.”

She likes her daughters-in-law and grandson-in-laws to bring more dowries, but she doesn't like the confidence that dowries give them. In her concept, she is the ancestor who has the final say in the Qiu family. Once the dowry goes into the Qiu family, it belongs to the Qiu family. , it belongs to her grandson, the more the merrier, but if you have too much confidence, doesn’t it mean that you are putting pressure on her grandson and her ancestor?It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that she took a leisurely stroll outside when Qiu Yiran married Yin Zhiruo. Not only did Yin Zhiruo have a rich dowry, but she also had a powerful family to rely on, so she did not give her any power to make her realize that marrying into the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion As a wife of the Qiu family, she must regard her husband Qiu Yiran as her heaven. How can she ensure that Yin Zhiruo will use all her financial resources and her family's power to find a future for Qiu Yiran and serve her as an ancestor honestly?
This was true for Yin Zhiruo at that time, and Xu Yuanniang was just a merchant's daughter, so what else did she want?Mrs. Qiutai snorted coldly, with unconcealed contempt on her face, "I have already made the decision to return Ruxiu's body deed to her. Speaking of which, Xu Yuanniang only has a bigger dowry, has seen the world, and knows the rules of the family. I'm afraid it's not as good as Ruxiu. In the past few days, Ruxiu has helped me take care of the middle feed. As you can see, when Xu Yuanniang starts doing it, I don't know if she can be as good as Xiuxiu? Fortunately, Ruxiu can do it too. She is a responsible person who knows how to measure herself. I believe she will put herself in the right position, but we should also think about her, right? After all, she is the biological mother of our eldest grandson or eldest granddaughter."

"Mother, what are you..." The old Marquis' face turned a little dark, and he was a little embarrassed. No matter how capable Ruxiu was, she was just a concubine. How could a concubine be so useful?Do they still have to worry about a concubine?Xu Yuanniang is the legitimate daughter of a wealthy businessman anyway, and her two brothers (one is a cousin and the other is a brother) are also expected to take the imperial examination and become officials, and they will all be Qiu Yiran's help in the future.Xu Yuanniang may not be comparable to Yin Zhiruo, but she can't be compared to a maid abandoned by Yin Zhiruo, right?
Mrs. Qiu Tai's voice was as calm as the expression on her face: "I am considering the interests of the Qiu family and helping Yi'er. Everything else is secondary, what do you think? However, I know that you gave Yi'er a choice. There is nothing we can do about Xu Yuanniang, she has already made great progress."

Much progress?The old Marquis choked up. There was something in his mother's words. She was mentioning the past and complaining about his poor eyesight.Ji was his own choice at that time, and his father supported it, but his mother was very dissatisfied with Ji. What his mother liked was the daughter of one of her sisters. Although she was average in appearance, she had a gentle temperament and had a much larger dowry than Ji.I heard that the woman was very prosperous and blessed with a good husband. Her husband rose through the ranks and was now a second-rank imperial official. Her eldest son had been famous for his talent many years ago and was a favorite in this year’s scientific examination. It was said that many wealthy families had daughters of the same age. , even the royal prince regarded him as a candidate for his future son-in-law.

Back then, Mrs. Qiutai insisted that Mr. Ji had a bad appearance and bad temperament, and was not a good wife and mother. She also said that he would regret it sooner or later.Now, he really regrets it.In fact, Ji's life as Mrs. Hou for so many years was not bad, but she fell into the hands of Yin Zhiruo and Ye.First, he was misled by Mr. Ye, misjudged Yin Zhiruo, caused a turmoil of peace and separation, accompanied his wife and then defeated the army. Later, he was instigated by Mr. Ye again and did the stupid thing of colluding with the bandits to rob Meizhuang!She and the entire Qiu family were harmed.Thinking of the grievances of the Qiu clan and the various compensation conditions proposed, he was so angry that his heart ached. How could he not regret it?

What he knew more clearly was that because his mother was dissatisfied with Ji's family, she was also dissatisfied with him. After his father passed away, she often treated him coldly. It was no use how he obeyed and tried to please her.Except for the eldest son Qiu Yiran, who was brought up by his mother when he was born, his mother was extremely displeased with the other grandchildren, including Qiu Xiran and Qiu Yanran, who were also legitimate children. She always said that the Ji family did not know how to raise children.

"Grandma, the Xu family is the best choice for the current situation in our Marquis Mansion. My father has worked hard for this." Qiu Yiran saw the embarrassment and unbearable look on his father's face and couldn't bear it. What his mother had done The stupid thing had nothing to do with my father, and my father made amends in time.If it weren't for his father's decisiveness, how would the Hou family be dragged down by his mother?He and the Marquis may have had nothing to do with each other for a long time.And the mother, no matter how stupid she is, is still the mother who gave birth to him and raised him, right?If the father really divorced the mother, it would only be more detrimental to the three siblings.

"Okay, okay," the Madam waved her hand, "I know that you two have a deep love for each other as father and son, so I'm just talking about the matter. Xu Yuanniang is from a merchant background, so she will inevitably be petty. If we continue to indulge her, I'm afraid she will be even worse than the Ji family in the future. Oops, it's just a hindrance. I really like Ruxiu. She is very smart. If she can do more for the Hou Mansion and let Xu feel her own shortcomings and pressure from her, wouldn't it be a multi-purpose achievement? Ruxiu's identity Gao, has no other relatives, and is devoted to Yi'er. After having another child, she will definitely value the Hou Mansion more than herself."

In the eyes of Mrs. Qiutai, Ruxiu is a chess piece used to contain the Ji family and the Xu family. It happens that this chess piece is not only sweet-talking and skillful, but also smart and practical. It suits her very well, so she naturally doesn't mind. Give it more sweetness.Besides, my precious granddaughter is going to get married in less than two years, and she needs to have a sweet and caring person by her side who can also be an eyeliner and an ear.She was not worried about Ruxiu's loyalty. For a concubine who was born as a maid and had no natal family, who else could she point to if not her ancestor?She can give Ruxiu something, and she can take it back at any time.

The old Marquis will marry Qiu Yiran into the Xu family. The first thing he values ​​​​is Xu Yuanniang's dowry. If Xu Yuanniang is too coquettish and protective, it will be really... annoying.Well, Zuixiangfang really can't be left to Xu. According to Ruxiu's description of the effect of the "Seven Fragrances of Beauty", Zuixiangfang might really become a cash cow soon.

After thinking about this, the old Marquis no longer struggled: "What mother is worried about is, just follow mother's arrangements." The relationship in the backyard of the inner house is really not something he can worry about as a man. Alas, I hope that Xu's It’s better to be sensible.Seeing that the other children's marriages need to start to pay attention, especially the legitimate daughter Yanran who is most affected by Ji's bad reputation. Unfortunately, in the eyes of her mother, apart from Yi'er, she only has her niece Ke Qiaoqiao, and she doesn't care about the other grandchildren at all. If he doesn't care, he can only count on his eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xu, who will come in at the end of the year.

"By the way, there is one more thing about the daughter of the Niu family." The old Marquis suddenly remembered that someone had reminded him today, "The old man of the Ning family who just came back from the capital has taken a liking to Ru Xia and is willing to go out. The price is good, but I only care about Ning Concubine in the palace and cannot take concubines in a public manner, but I promise to enter the palace as an aunt. The Niu family seemed a little tempted before, but now that they are cooperating with us, they will probably hesitate again. Concubine Ning, That is, Mrs. Ning's little daughter is favored in the palace now. It would not be a good thing if he gets angry with us." The current emperor is not stupid, and the Ning family naturally does not dare to rob civilian girls, nor will they openly The Qingyuan Hou Mansion called for formation, but it was too easy to make a stumbling block secretly.And with the current situation of the Qiu family, they are worried that they will not be able to find a chance to make friends with the Ning family, so how can they dare to offend the Ning family?

Qiu Yiran also frowned, Ning family?It is said that the third master of the Ning family, who is in the Ministry of Household Affairs, is very likely to be sent to Luo City to supervise various preparations for the Baieling gold mine mining, so Mr. Ning took the first step and came back to retire.Mr. Ning once saved the late emperor by blocking arrows with his flesh and blood, and brought glory to the Ning family. In the past two years, because of Ning Concubine, the Ning family has shown a rising trend. The five legitimate sons and concubines are making people happy. Coveting the good position, he was still thinking about how to make friends with the Ning family.

What should we do now?Missing Mr. Ning's "good thing" is definitely a bad thing for them.However, in order to force Niu Jia and Ru Xia to take away their prescriptions and kick them away?If Ru Xia is favored, blowing the pillow fragrance will be equally detrimental to them.

"It's very simple. Just get a place for Niu San's youngest son Niu Jiabao to go to a private school, and then give him soft and hard persuasion to make sure that Niu San will accept anything, let alone be an aunt to Mr. Ning, just sell it. If you want to be a maid, they will agree." Ruxiu, who had just raised the curtain and came in, said with certainty.Niu San only has eyes for Niu Jiabao, his precious son who will make him a government official in the future. If Xia can exchange for Niu Jiabao's future and a large amount of money, how can there be any reason why he shouldn't? "In addition, the lobbyist sent by Mr. Ning didn't explain Ning Bin's identity, right? In fact, as long as he said this, I believe it would be too late for Niu San to agree." This is more important than money. Getting married in the same palace will make Niu Jiabao's family more prosperous in the future. Wouldn’t it be more secure to become a civil servant?
