On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 298 Newlywed 5
After hearing this, Xiao Xiao said: "Then I will ask someone to send two thousand taels of silver to dad tomorrow."

He also explained: "I need a lot of seafood there, and a round trip will take several days. Let's transport more."

Boss Xiao took a breath: "Isn't that too much? Will it attract the attention of the bandits?"

Last time, I could load five cars for less than 3,000 taels.

If it were five thousand taels this time, there would be at least three more carriages.

He was afraid that there were too many carriages and horses, and that bandits would take notice of them, so they might not be of any use.

"Dad, you misunderstood me. Now the seafood restaurant uses a lot of seafood." Xiao Xiao explained to him: "Last time, our five carts were not too full. This time we each paid two thousand taels, which is enough. "

"You can also save some money for self-defense."

This was really a good idea. Boss Xiao was instantly tempted, but he still politely refused: "How can I ask for your money?"

"Dad, just agree, or I have to pay you some hard work?" Xiao Xiao changed the subject again: "When the new goods come in, all the seafood in the store will be taken to the restaurant to be used first."

After Boss Xiao was 'forced' to agree, he said to her: "You just came in, and you can't come out often. If you are too busy, have someone send a letter back."

"We can take you back to stay for a few days if we have something to do at home."

He didn't believe the old saying that a married daughter was like water thrown away.

Even if she gets married, she cannot be estranged from her mother's family even if she is a good daughter that she has finally raised.

Xiao Xiao also agreed.

The family had a lively lunch and chatted for a while. Mrs. Liu urged them to go back first: "You can't go back too late today. You can come back and stay for a few more days when you find an opportunity next time."

Xiao Xiao responded: "I listen to my mother, let's go first."

Xiao Xiu and Xiao Lian reluctantly pulled their little sister and sent her out.

"You must be careful." Xiao Xiu was worried for her: "You have been honest since you were a child, and you are not mean-spirited."

"Isn't that right? But those people from high-ranking families have more eyes than a sieve." Xiao Lian also agreed: "You must be more careful. If you ask me, you have to bring a few more people with you. Let's It’s not like we don’t have money now.”

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid." Xiao Xiao has money.

But when buying maids from the tooth shop, most of them are like Menghui and others, who need to be trained and trained.

If it was too clever, she wouldn't dare to ask for it. She was afraid that there might be some master behind the person, or that he might be harming her secretly for the sake of his relatives who were living abroad.

Buying someone halfway is also risky.

This is the beauty of a wealthy family. The maids dare not be disloyal, otherwise they will betray the whole family.

Moreover, the maids and servants have been taught to be loyal to their masters since childhood.

After they returned to the General's Mansion, Li Yan was invited away by the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Then Xiao Xiao could only follow the rules and go to see the madam first and say thank you.

When Xiao Xiao passed by, the maid at the door went in to report, and came out soon: "The eldest young lady, Madam, I still have something to discuss with the second young lady. Let the eldest young lady go back and rest first?"

Mrs. Li also deliberately ignored Xiao Xiao and let her know that there was a difference between concubines and concubines, and that she valued the second young mistress.

But when Xiao Xiao heard that she didn't have to have an awkward chat with Mrs. Li, she suddenly felt relieved, but she still deliberately bit her lip with a look of shock on her face: "Ah, oh, I'll go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and left. At this moment, Mrs. Li and Zhou's mother were at the window in the inner room, watching Xiao Xiao leave.

Mrs. Li sneered: "I feel like a petty person, but I thought too much before."

Seeing that Xiao Xiao had not made any mistakes before, but could be said to have advanced and retreated in a measured way, she was inevitably a little worried, fearing that she might unintentionally marry her concubine as a helper.

That's why I deliberately didn't see her, wanting to see how she behaved.

If you know the rules, you should say wait outside and see her again when you are done.

But Xiao Xiao really left, looking very worried.

Mrs. Li felt that she had thought too much before, so she turned around and said to her second daughter-in-law, who was standing respectfully by the side: "Aru, I heard that you also help with the management of things when you are at home, so I will give you some practice in the kitchen first. "

Mrs. Zhou responded respectfully: "My daughter-in-law will never betray her mother's trust."

She came from a wealthy family and didn't take Xiao Xiao seriously.

She even felt that it was a waste of time for her mother-in-law, as the mistress of the General's Mansion, to bother embarrassing Mrs. Xiao, and it was completely unnecessary.

She felt in her heart that Xiao Xiao was able to marry Li Ji only because of the grace of saving her life. She was provided with delicious food and drinks and was taught some rules and etiquette, so as not to lose the face of the general's palace when she went out.

She didn't want to embarrass Mrs. Xiao at all, but hoped that Mrs. Xiao could always sit firmly in the position of the eldest mistress.

People like Xiao are easy to handle.

If anything happens to Xiao, not only will Li Ji and the General's Mansion be separated, but if he remarries to a wealthy family, then he will have to be careful of his sister-in-law secretly stumbling upon him.

As for her mother-in-law asking her to take care of the housework, she was not surprised at all.

After all, her husband was the legitimate son and the only legitimate son of her mother-in-law, so she must be partial to them.

Mother Zhou remained silent.

She has dealt with the eldest mistress before, so she naturally knows that the eldest mistress is not as timid and fearful as Madam imagined.

She originally wanted to say something before she opened her mouth, but then thought of the young master's threat, so she swallowed what she wanted to say.

She also wanted to be loyal to her master, but when she thought about it, if the eldest mistress was in trouble or something happened, the eldest young master would take his men, sons and nephews from his mother's family to the battlefield.

No matter how loyal she is, she still has selfish motives.

Xiao Xiao also went back to the yard happily. She was even in the mood to enjoy the veranda.

It must have been specially repaired for their wedding. She admired the carpenters nowadays. They didn't use a single nail, and they were all mortise and tenon structures.

And it can be made so beautiful and generous.

She saw several fruitful pomegranates and felt better: "You guys will pick some pomegranates later. I want to drink pomegranate juice."

Yiqing, who was following behind, was originally prepared to comfort her master, but unexpectedly she heard her say that she wanted to drink pomegranate juice.

Yiqing suspected that her master was a little careless. Determined to share his worries, she immediately approached her and said, "My eldest mistress, aren't you worried that your wife will embarrass you?"

"If Madam wants to embarrass me, then there's no point in worrying." Xiao Xiao turned around and reached out to flick her head: "Besides, I didn't tell you to spread the word earlier that I was weak and sick. If Madam embarrasses me, I will You can faint."

There's nothing you can do about it. Who made people nowadays have parents who can do anything in the world? This sentence is deeply ingrained.

She didn't dare to confront someone head-on. If there were policies from above and countermeasures from below, she would have to prepare for a confrontation.
