Chapter 17 Picture of Xishan

Mrs. Song was sitting in the accounting room with a proud expression on her face.

"Then Xie Lingyu is also smart and knows better than to fight for power with me."

Ever since the old lady made the decision to let the two of them take charge of the palace, except for Xie Lingyu who pretended to do two things on the first day, he always complained of illness and never left Zhilan Courtyard.

Mrs. Song was very satisfied with Xie Lingyu's attitude and had been much kinder to her in the past few days.

Even when Xie Lingyu arranged for her to be sent to the stable by Xu Jiaxu's boy, she didn't take it to heart.

Aunt Zhou stood behind Mrs. Song, "I'm here to report that Mr. Fu has agreed to accept Young Master as his student."

"Good good!"

"My brother Qi will definitely ascend to a high position in the future. When the time comes, those civil servants will have no right to look down on my Xuanwu Marquis Mansion!"

"I have to hold a grand initiation ceremony for Brother Qi, so that everyone in Shengjing will know that Mr. Fu has accepted Brother Qi as his student."

Mrs. Song was so happy that she wanted to announce it directly to the whole world.

But Grandma Zhou thought a little more.

"Madam, don't do this in a big way!"

Song, who was still immersed in her beautiful fantasy, was suddenly rejected. She looked displeased and looked at Aunt Zhou.

"Why?"

"Old Fu has accepted Brother Qi as his student. When those literati see this, they will definitely treat the Marquis Mansion with less contempt and more respect. After all, Mr. Fu has a great scholar under his sect."

Although she doesn't care about face, she has always been looked down upon by others, and she has long been resentful in her heart.

Grandma Zhou lowered her head and frowned.

"The Marquis and several young masters all died in the battle, and the prince was not afraid of life and death and went to the frontier. Now the Marquis Mansion is full of martyrs. The Holy One expresses condolences. It is a supreme honor. The literati dare not openly look down on the Marquis Mansion."

"But if Young Master Qi has not even started reading, he will make public because he has a good husband, which will make others hate him. They will think that Young Master Qi's success in becoming a disciple of Mr. Fu is all because of the Hou Mansion. "

"It would be better for both the Marquis Mansion and Master Qi if we wait until Master Qi completes his studies."

Listening to her words, Mrs. Song nodded from time to time.

Right.

She really shouldn't be too public about it, she could just order people to spread it quietly.

In the future, Brother Qi will hold a grand banquet after he has passed the child examination.

At that time, her brother Qi was the youngest scholar in the dynasty!

"Zhou Ying, you do your best for me, I won't treat you badly!"

Looking at the woman beside her with a low eyebrow, Mrs. Song said warmly.

There are not many capable people around her, Zhou Ying is one of them, and Zhou Ying has never thought of climbing out of bed.

So Mrs. Song was also willing to give her some benefits.

"I remember you have a son. Does he study or work?"

Aunt Zhou looked a little helpless: "He is stupid and has never studied. Now he works as a clerk in a shop, but he can still make a living. I'm sorry to bother you, Madam."

Mrs. Song: "The housekeeper said the day before yesterday that there is no one available, so let's let your son work with the housekeeper first. The monthly money will be more, and he can learn real things."

"Be a servant..."

Grandma Zhou laughed without any reluctance.

"Then I'll thank Madam for him first."

Song nodded.

"You can order people to send more gold and silver to Mr. Fu these days. I remember that Mr. Fu loves painting. Don't Mr. Xie have many paintings there? Choose a good painting and send it to Mr. Fu."

Aunt Zhou hesitated a little: "That is the private treasury of the Crown Prince's wife..."

Song's expression remained as usual.

"Since they are all in the Hou's Mansion, they all belong to the Hou's Mansion. There is no private or public treasury!"

A few days ago, she might not have dared to do this, but the old lady's attitude that day was obviously to dig out Xie Lingyu's dowry bit by bit.

The old lady thinks so, so what else does she have to hide.

Just take it!

Aunt Zhou responded and went out.

Ms. Song lowered her head and flipped through the account books. There were several books on the table. She felt a headache after just looking at them.

Forget it.

It's better to ask the accountant to sort out the account books first and then she can read them. …

"Madam, Grandma Zhou is coming to get the picture of Xishan from the private treasury."

Taoyue carries the key to the private treasury, and the private treasury guards will only let her in if they see her, so everyone who takes things from Xie Lingyu's private treasury has to go through Taoyue.

Not long after she went out, she ran back very upset.

Even Lu Yue, who was practicing martial arts in the yard, was attracted by her appearance. She put down the dagger and dagger in her hand and followed her.

Taoyue took a gulp of water and suppressed the anger in her heart.

Forget about other things, the painting of Xishan is a unique painting. The eldest son found it after overcoming all difficulties and searching for it for two years.

Grandma Zhou wanted to go there with just one word.

When Taoyue came in, Xie Lingyu was holding a storybook in his hand, looking a little obsessed, while Heyue was fanning aside.

Xie Lingyu discovered that the storybooks currently circulating in Shengjing were ones she had never seen in her previous life. The stories in them were very novel and interesting, even a little... weird.

It doesn't look like it was written by someone from this dynasty.

Maybe it came from the Western Regions or Southeast Asia.

"Did she say what she wanted the painting for?"

Turning the pages, asking questions.

When this was mentioned, Taoyue became even more angry.

"Mama Zhou said that Mrs. Hou asked her to choose a good painting and give it to Mr. Fu. She would like to thank Mr. Fu for accepting the young master as his student."

"They are quite good at playing tricks. They use the lady's things to support their own appearance."

Xie Lingyu didn't even raise her head. She was still looking at the storybook. When she saw something funny, she couldn't help but smile.

She really wanted to meet the author of this storybook.

Just looking at her written narrative, it is not difficult to see that she is a very interesting person.

Close the storybook.

Xie Lingyu chuckled: "Mama Zhou also has very good eyesight."

There are so many paintings, and you can choose the best one at once.

Taoyue was shocked: "Madam, you don't really want to give them the Xishan Picture!"

"how is this possible."

"That was my birthday gift from my brother, and I cherish it very much."

Xie Lingyu waved to Taoyue and whispered a few words in her ear.

From Lu Yue's point of view, Tao Yue's expression changed from surprise to shock to a look of malicious intent.

He Yue also pursed her lips and smiled.

Looks like he's about to do something bad!
Luyue was too far away to hear, and her heart was extremely pricked.

When Taoyue came out, she followed her all the way.

"What are you doing with me?"

Taoyue turned around, inserted her waist, and sounded impatient.

Like He Yue, she didn't have a good impression of Lu Yue, who was given a name by his wife as soon as they met and was able to learn martial arts.

Why did her arrival cost them more than ten years of companionship?
Therefore, every time they saw Lu Yue in the past few days, they pretended not to see it.

I just want to give her a kick in the ass!

Although Luyue looks cold on the outside, she has actually been living under the shelter of others since she was a child, eating from hundreds of families, and has developed a good eye at a young age.

For example, she knew at a glance that Madam was a good person, a very good person, so she was willing to trust Madam and follow Madam.

She saw Taoyue Heyue's little moves.

Lu Yue only felt that these two eldest sisters were very strange.

On the surface, they pretended not to see her and ignore her, but if there was something delicious and fun, they would give her a piece.

Sometimes the lady would reward her with a plate of pastries, and half of the plate would appear on her table.There are also the Jiuhuanhuan, Huarongdao and other gadgets that appear inexplicably in her room.

Lu Yue didn't care about Tao Yue's tone, and leaned forward, looking at her eagerly.

"Good sister, what did Madam tell you just now? Lu Yue really wants to know."
