Concubine like a house

Chapter 64
"Madam Tai! Don't say that he was a good friend of Master Hou... Now I can't tolerate another person in my heart." Chuxiu's tears continued, and the drops fell like pearls in the sea, dazzling and beautiful.

Mrs. Tai picked up the veil on the case and handed it to her: "Let's not talk about the children's personal relationship for now, let's get through this difficult time first. If Beixi's business is ended according to your wishes, how will the people of that clan be? place?"

Chuxiu quickly wiped away the tears, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, and replied: "Nowadays, there are at least a few hundred people in Beixi's tribe. If they are all moved to Nanxi, there will be too much resistance. What I mean is, since we will After the money is distributed, let them find their own way out. They have no power in their hands, and it is a troubled time, even if they are used by others, they are limited. As long as the family members in various places can hold their own, there will be no big troubles."

Mrs. Tai thought carefully for a while, then nodded and replied: "This idea is good, but in terms of face...the Marquis of Lixin's Mansion will definitely be criticized, saying that we ignore our clansmen."

It's face again... Chuxiu felt a little helpless, so he had to say: "No matter how important face is, it is not as important as human life. Considering the delicate status of Li Xinhou Mansion, it is a bad thing to control the clansman more. Besides... "

"And what?"

"Furthermore, if we bet on the wrong treasure, if the North-South dispute is won by the Chen family...at least, it will also leave a way for the Beixi people, and they will not be implicated by us." Chuxiu said frankly.

yes!If he wholeheartedly supports the Nanxi Nie clan, and the Nie clan loses to the Chen clan, then the entire Yun clan will be in danger.If some of the clansmen were abandoned, they might be saved instead.However, this decision may not be understood by the clansmen before the dust settles on the dispute between the North and the South.

"How did you come up with this idea?" Mrs. Tai asked again.

"It's Lord Hou." Chuxiu held back tears, "Back then he was afraid that the thief would poison me secretly, so he didn't hesitate to alienate me and belittle me, and even pretended to be affectionate with Mrs. Xia, wasn't it just to divert the attention of the thief and save my life? Now, I just borrowed this method and used it."

"Pride and kill, the higher the praise, the higher the praise, not the love but the harm. It should be the same with the clansman..." At the end, Chuxiu couldn't help crying again, letting the past flow like a tide heart.

"Could it be that Ci'er really appeared?" Mrs. Tai muttered, and finally made up her mind: "Do as you say! Order Beixi's branches to complete all the business under their name within half a year. Profit and loss."

Chuxiu took the order and said yes, and heard Mrs. Tai say again: "Cheng'er's biological father, Yuntan, is a talent, and he is also the head of the Minzhou branch. You might as well let him pay attention to Beixi's movements, and tell all branches not to come out." Now that Cheng'er has become the eldest son, I'm not afraid that he will not be loyal!"

Thinking of the relationship between Yuntan and Yuncheng, Chu Xiu raised his spirits and expressed his agreement: "Just looking at the teachings I have given Cheng'er in the past nine years, we can see that Yuntan has put in real effort."

Mrs. Tai nodded: "Yes! Yuntan looks good, it's good to use him."

Speaking of this, Chuxiu remembered something again, and hesitated to speak: "Cheng'er is nine years old this year, only eight years younger than me...I want him to move out alone next year."

"I understand your concerns." Mrs. Tai shook her head, "But the rules of the ancestors cannot be broken. The descendants of the Marquis of Lixin only open the garden alone when they are 13 years old. If you let him move out when he is ten years old, it will only make him happy." If you are held back, you will either say that you treat your heir harshly, or that you ignore the family rules. If you are upright and not afraid of the shadow, let him live in Zhiyanxuan, so you can teach him."

With Mrs. Tai's words, Chuxiu felt a little relieved: "I have hired the most famous teacher in Fangzhou to teach him to read. It's just a martial arts master, and I haven't found a suitable candidate yet."

Mrs. Tai heard the words, thought carefully, and replied: "Go and ask Shen Yu, if he is willing to teach, it is actually the best."

"Young Master?" This time, Chang Changxiu was greatly surprised.

"The reason why Shen Yu was valued by Emperor Nanxi Nie at the beginning and accepted as the son of a mothfly was all due to his martial arts and understanding of the art of war. It's just that Marquis Wenchang loves his son and is reluctant to let him go to the army for training. Besides, Shen Yu has been humiliated. The true biography of the genius doctor, if you can also teach Chenger the Qihuang technique, it will be even better." Mrs. Tai raised her eyebrows and looked at Chuxiu, "Why, you don't want to?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just..." Chuxiu was concerned, "I'm afraid it's not suitable for him to teach Cheng'er, the son of Marquis Wenchang."

"What's inappropriate? It's not about letting him be a teacher just by name. He is Ci'er's best friend during his lifetime, and Cheng'er should call him 'uncle' after all. Why not teach my nephew how to practice martial arts and medicine as an uncle?" Mrs. Madam looked at Chuxiu frankly, "I'm not worried, what are you worried about?"

"I understand what you mean." Chuxiu heaved a sigh of relief.She didn't know what Madam Tai meant by this move, but at the moment, Cheng'er's teaching is the most important thing, since she was the old man who appointed Shen Yu, Chuxiu naturally has nothing to say, only agrees.

But the most urgent thing is to resettle the Beixi people, and she also needs to write a secret letter to Yuntan, asking him to take care of each branch.Thinking of this, Chuxiu said: "If you have nothing to do, I will take my leave first, and I will submit the order for you to review after I prepare the order."

Mrs. Tai nodded: "You go."

"Yes, you also rest earlier." Chuxiu bowed and bowed, intending to leave.

Just took two steps back and wanted to turn around, Mrs. Tai called her again: "Wait a minute."

Chuxiu raised her eyes and asked respectfully, "What else do you want?"

Mrs. Tai moved, and although her face was expressionless, she vaguely revealed some discomfort: "Don't call me 'Mrs. Tai' from now on. You don't have to let Cheng'er and the servants in the house see a joke. You should call me 'Mother'."

Mrs. Tai finally recognized herself!After waiting for so long, looking forward to it for so long, she finally waited for this day!Chuxiu was so excited that she couldn't speak, the word "mother" stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it no matter what.

"Why are you crying again! Why, you don't want to?" Mrs. Tai pretended to be impatient.

Chuxiu shook his head, still in a momentary loss of voice in excitement.

Mrs. Tai suddenly changed her expression at this time: "Don't cry, I remembered another important matter... Just now you said that you want to end all Beixi's business and separate the family on the spot, but the third child refuted you. You know, He hated the silver."

"Businessmen should be cautious. I don't know how much Yun's family background is. If I find out, maybe I can't bear it." Chuxiu spoke for Yunxian tactfully.

Only then did Mrs. Tai smile slightly: "The third child knows something about Yun's family background, but he is not very sure." She paused for a moment, and then said, "If Beixi's business is all stopped, in fact, only Yun's One or two percent of the base."

"One to two percent?" Chuxiu couldn't help exclaiming.She thought that Beixi's business would account for at least [-]% or even [-]% of Yun's property!
"We used to have a lot of contacts with the Beixi Cao Gang, and the money we earned a few years ago was transported back by water. But since the year before last, the Cao Gang has gradually grown, and the forces of the northern and southern clans are secretly controlling it. Get in touch with him again." Mrs. Tai straightened her back, proud of her foresight, "This matter was carried out in secret, apart from Ci'er and me, only Yun Zhong knew about it in the mansion. The one who has stayed in Beixi now is only the past three years income."

"My God!" Chuxiu couldn't believe that such a large sum of money could be transported back without telling everyone!How much effort did this take?How to hide it from the outside world?Also, if the money left by Beixi is only [-] to [-]%, how can those clansmen be satisfied?How can you be peaceful?

As if guessing what she was thinking, Mrs. Tai smiled confidently: "Don't worry, that one or two family fortunes are enough to make hundreds of people in Beixi jealous. What's more, they have been enriching their own pockets all these years, and I have always kept an eye on them." Close your eyes, whoever dares to come out and clamor for less points, the first one will be dealt with according to the clan rules!"

Mrs. Tai is kind and powerful, and she can only admire her when she comes out of Xiu.

Unexpectedly, the old man had another trick, so she squinted her eyes and pointed to the floor tiles of this house: "My Yun family has a foundation of hundreds of years, except for the business income and money houses in various places, the most fundamental family background has two place." She lowered her voice, motioned for Xiu to take a step forward, and whispered, "One is under my Rongjintang garden, and the other is... inside the lotus pond in Jingyuan."

Hearing these words, Chuxiu was both surprised and delighted.The joy is that Mrs. Tai finally admitted her, and told the truth about the secret about Yun's lifeline; the surprise is that Yun's is really "rich as a country", richer than she imagined!After all, she was conservative!

No wonder Mrs. Tai guards the Rongjin Hall every day. It turns out that there is a cellar under the garden; no wonder the entire Lixinhou Mansion is heavily guarded, but Jingyuan is deserted. the garden.

Chuxiu couldn't help casting admiring glances at Mrs. Tai, whose face glowed with pride, and her words were compelling: "The wealth in the hands of the Yun family is the root of the covetousness of the two countries. It is by no means an exaggeration to say that a country is as rich as an enemy. In a few years, as long as Mrs. Yun moves a finger, the economic lifeline of a country will be broken..."

At this point, Mrs. Tai looked at Chuxiu with deep meaning: "At present, the two countries can't move Lixinhou's mansion, so they actively win over the side branches from various places, and separated many people's hearts. Although you are talented, the water here is deep. What's going on with current affairs, what's going on with business, what's going on with accounts, what's going on with people...everything is very important, you can imagine how I've been here for more than ten years, and how hard Ci'er has been."

In the last paragraph, Mrs. Tai spoke in a flat tone, but Chuxiu could hear the bitterness in it.Thinking of their orphans and widows guarding the big family property, there are covetous things outside and worries inside, it must be extremely difficult.

That night, with the shocking secret of the Yun Mansion in his arms, Chuxiu suffered from insomnia.

Three days later, an order was quickly spread from Lixinhou's Mansion to various places in Beixi, causing an uproar.The members of the Yun clan felt resentment, contempt, and even contempt for the sudden appearance of the widow of Marquis Li Xin.

In particular, what came out of Xiuxiu was the "Hongzha Order", which is the highest, most important, and most unresistable order of the Yun family.

Overnight, the four-character name of "Mrs. Chuxiu" was spread all over the world, some scolded, some praised, some waited and watched, and some were surprised and uncertain.But there is no doubt about one thing—another strong-armed mistress of the Yun family has been born!

Mrs. Chuxiu wants to imitate her mother-in-law Mrs. Xie Tai, and the chicken Sichen will be in charge of the Yun family - this rumor quickly spread with the promulgation of Hongzha's order.

When Chuxiu was full of controversy, the Minzhou branch, led by Yuntan, took the lead in complying with the red tie warrant, ended all businesses in the area within two months, and separated the family properly.Who takes over the bank, who takes over the rice bank, who takes over the Yunjinzhuang, who takes over the real estate... Some take cash, some take real goods, some take house deeds, and the division is clear and clear.

Seeing Minzhou's move, the various branches realized that the separation of the family was a chance to make a fortune, so they began to follow suit.Time passed quickly amidst the controversy over Chuxiu. During this period, Mrs. Tai had been watching from behind the scenes, without uttering a single question or support, as if she had disappeared, avoiding any visitors.

In a blink of an eye, nearly four months have passed, and another year is approaching.[-]% of Yun's business in Beixi has already been completed or is in the process of being closed, and another [-]% will have to wait until the next year.It is said that there were several bloody conflicts in order to separate the family, and several clansmen died, but fortunately there were no major bloody disasters.
