Chapter 144 Sisters
Even though she was mentally prepared, seeing that Qin Xiao really paid her quarry bonus with a white note, Jin Xi still had the urge to bump her head to death.How could she believe the nonsense about the year-end dividend? She should collect the account once a month, no, it should be paid once a day.

She was angry, but from Zhou Xiyao's unintentional exclamation a few days ago, she roughly guessed where Qin Xiao borrowed the money and used it. Although her heart was bleeding, she felt that Qin Xiao was doing the right thing, and secretly even admired it. His bearing.It is a trouble for the imperial court to quietly help and support the family members of the army who died with Uncle Qingyuan. The burden of thousands of people is a trouble for the court, let alone a young man who has not been entrusted with a title.

No wonder he tried every means to calculate other people's money.The three words of last resort contain so much bitterness and helplessness!
Jin Xi carefully put the IOU written by Qin Xiao into the makeup box, and finally put the lock on it, and stuffed the key into the purse that he carried with him.He secretly made up his mind to prepare a copy for Qin Xiao and send it to Uncle Changping's mansion when he returned to give the New Year's gift to Jingli. It could not help him change the situation, at least not to let people catch the obvious.

Mrs. Tang worked very quickly. In a few days, the other courtyard was tidied up, and she specially came to the door to deliver all kinds of keys and the roster of servants to Jin Xi.

Jinxi couldn't find time, so she arranged for Ai's mother to take the magpie to have a look. Hearing that the Tang family obviously added a lot of things to the servants, at least it cost a few thousand taels of silver. Jinxi secretly sighed that she owed favors again. .But for Jinyue, this favor is worth it.

Zhou Bohai circled around Zhao Qingtai every day, and he didn't care about the affairs of the backyard.Hearing that Jinxi brought Jinyue to celebrate the New Year, he didn't express any opinion. After reading the gift list sent by the Yun family, he told Jinxi with a smile on his face, "You must treat your third sister well, and the Yun family will find fault. The Yun family stood up to look good for your third sister, don't let them underestimate our Zhou family."

Jin Xi nodded sincerely and apprehensively, but pouted secretly, you are afraid of offending the money of the Yun family!

Waiting left and right, finally the Yun family's carriage stopped at the gate of the magistrate's inner yamen.As soon as Jinyue's feet touched the ground, Jinxi, who had been waiting all morning, ran over in a few steps, supported Jinyue who was about to salute, and said with a smile, "How did you get here? Did the road go well? My father even sent someone to ask all over!"

When Jin Yue heard that Zhou Bohai personally asked her about her diet, her eyes were still reddened.Holding Jin Xi's hand, he was so excited that he couldn't speak.It was Yun Fengnian who replied on her behalf: "The road is very smooth. Because the waterway is busy next year, we are afraid of the crowds, so we are going by land, so we are slower. The princess and the magistrate are thinking about it! "

Jin Xi looked Yun Fengnian up and down a few times, and seeing that he was telling the little girl to take out the cloak and put it on Jin Yue, his words revealed his love for Jin Yue, and he was secretly happy for Jin Yue, so he said to him: " We will be one family in the future, so there is no need to talk about seals. You are just like the third sister, just call me sixth sister!"

Yun Fengnian was so moved by Jinxi's recognition that he didn't know what to say, but he heard Jinxi say to Jinyue again: "Father said, uncle is far away in the capital and can't take care of him. Father is also elder sister's elder. I can make decisions for my sister in everything! If my sister has been wronged for no reason, our Zhou family has to ask clearly."

This is beating him!Yun Fengnian is upright but not a fool, he can't help but smile wryly when he hears this, Jinyue is the candidate chosen by his grandmother, and he followed him all the way to Changde, unaccompanied, how could he wrong her?
Jin Yue stole a glance at Yun Fengnian who was half a step behind, and happened to meet his gaze.Seeing her looking over, Yun Fengnian secretly caressed Wuxin's position, pursed her mouth and made an aggrieved and scared look, Jin Yue blushed immediately, and lowered her head to pretend she didn't see it.

Jin Xi had been paying attention to these two people all the time, and of course he didn't miss the small movements between them. Seeing this scene, he immediately admired Yun Li's vision and means.Although there is such a thing as love at first sight, the relationship between people is mostly cultivated.Jinyue and Yun Fengnian were both concubines, so they felt a sense of sympathy for each other. Coupled with their childhood sweetheart, as long as Jinyue didn't get confused, the future would not be sad.

Zhou Bohai was not there, so Jin Xi and Zhou Xiyao accompanied Jin Yue and Yun Fengnian for dinner respectively.After dinner, Zhou Xiyao accompanied Yun Fengnian to visit Zhao Tingxuan, while Jin Xi accompanied Jinyue to talk.

Knowing that the two of them had something to say, Mama Ai and the others retreated tactfully. Jinyue took out a money bag from her arms and handed it to Jinxi, "This is my private money, and the old lady gave it to me. Let me buy whatever I like. I don’t lack anything, and I have nothing to add. I beg my sixth sister to bring it to my aunt, so that she can make up for it. And...buy an annual gift and find someone reliable Bring it here quietly!"

A few willow leaves were embroidered on the grape-purple Shu brocade. Jinxi looked familiar, and suddenly remembered that Yun Fengnian was carrying such a purse today, so she joked: "The third brother-in-law received the purse, did you praise my sister's sewing skills?" ?”

"What kind of brother-in-law is he?" Jin Yue spat on Jin Xi, her face flushed with embarrassment, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground.

"Oh!" Jin Xi deliberately dragged out the tone, "Didn't the young master have nothing to do with us back then? Then what are you going to do with him? When you come back soon, drive him away."

"Don't..." As soon as Jin Yue raised her head, she saw Jin Xi clutching her stomach and laughing so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, waiting to see her joke.Shame and embarrassment, the head drooped almost to the chest, and did not lift it up without saying anything.

Knowing that Jinyue is thin-skinned, Jin Xi was too embarrassed to tease her again, so he stretched out his hand to weigh the purse she had taken out. It was very heavy. He unwrapped the ribbon around the mouth and looked inside. In addition to the broken silver, there were two 200 coins. Two silver bills, since together there are 500 taels.

"Third sister, please put this away. I will give you a copy of the New Year's gift slip from your aunt. Anyway, it is the account of the public office. It is not for nothing. As for letting your aunt secretly give the New Year's gift to Yun's house, there is nothing wrong with it." This rule is also inconvenient because of the long distance. The old lady of the Yun family and Mr. Yun are sensible people, and they will not look down on you because of such a small matter. You keep the money well, and don’t panic if you encounter anything."

Jin Xi tied up the purse and returned it to Jin Yue, "Since you said that Mrs. Yun gave you all the money to buy you something you like, you can't go to your natal family to subsidize it. Let me say no." If you are being kind, maybe this is to test you on purpose. After all, the old lady wants you to host the Yun Family Feedback in the future. What’s the matter with thinking about subsidizing her mother’s family every day? Instead of taking it back and asking your aunt to buy a New Year’s gift and send it back, you might as well According to the preferences of the old lady and Mr. Yun, buy something for them. What they have is theirs, and it is your favor to give it away."

Jin Yue was taken aback after hearing this, but she really hadn't thought about the meaning of what Jin Xi said later, she clutched the purse and thought for a while before saying, "I listen to the sixth sister! My aunt..." Thinking of the dear one who misses her day and night Her mother was thousands of miles away, and she was begging for a living under the eyes of the eldest lady. Jinyue's eye circles couldn't help but turn red, "My aunt, I'll ask the sixth sister to take care of her!"

"Don't worry! Your aunt can only feel at ease when you live well, otherwise eating dragon meat won't taste good!" Jin Xi understood Jin Yue's pain, and put his arms around her shoulders to comfort her gently.

Fortunately, Jinyue has been with Mrs. Yunli for more than half a year, and has seen some things in the world, so she doesn't just feel awkward about it.After washing his face and redressing his make-up, he suddenly asked, "What did you say about the third brother?"

"What's the matter?" Jin Xi was taken aback.Jin Yue was also stunned, "Second Aunt wanted her niece from her natal family to marry Third Brother, but Third Brother ran out after making a fuss. Don't you know about this?"

"Which niece is she?" Jin Xi's heart sank suddenly.The second wife Xie's natal family has no other brothers except the eldest son born to the eldest princess.With the status of the Xie family, if the girl is fine, how can she look at Zhou Xiyao?
She once asked Zhou Xiyao why he came to Anyang, and he only said that he was kicked out, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen!

Jin Yue told Jin Xi in detail what she knew, "I heard that my second aunt's elder brother had a favored concubine who gave birth to three children. The first two sons did not survive, and the youngest was a daughter. It's just dumb. I heard that there is still a bruise on his face, and he never comes out to meet people. He is eighteen and has not been engaged. Now the eldest princess is talking about marriage to the thirteenth young master, and she doesn't want to bear the accusation of a mean concubine. She was notorious, so Madam Xie hurriedly made an appointment for her. Even if you can't insult the disciples of the princess mansion, you must have a good character, choose and choose...the third brother is chosen!
When the third brother found out, the two families were going to change the Geng stickers, and the third brother ran out in a panic and made a big fuss.This is what the manager of the capital said when he wrote to the old lady, and the old lady didn't hide it from me. "

The more Jin Xi listened, the more she frowned. It wasn't that she doubted the accuracy of the information that Mrs. Yun and Li had. It's just that the second wife wanted Jin Xiu to marry Xiaojin, so how could she agree to Zhou Xiyao's marriage to Xie's daughter?
Compared with the Dachang Princess's mansion, Zhou's mansion is not rich, but Xiyao is a world-renowned talent, and with his status as the eldest son, he will not give in to a concubine who can't get married.Even if the second wife played tricks, Zhou Boshan would not agree. Zhou Xiyao's value is higher, and he will not let go easily.

There must be articles here!

And there is another puzzling thing, after all, it is the marriage of Zhou Bohai's eldest son, so the whole Zhou family actually decided it directly without asking him a single question?
Jinxi made up her mind that when Zhou Xiyao came back, she must ask what was going on.But when they entered the watch, Zhou Xiyao and Yun Fengnian didn't come back either.

Jin Yue was restless, and Jin Xi was also afraid that something might happen, so she hurriedly sent Zhou Ren and his family to the inn where Zhao Tingxuan was staying to inquire.After a meal, Zhou Ren came back with a smile and said: "The three young masters were in a joint sentence, and they couldn't tell the winner, so they delayed. Mr. Yun asked the villain to tell the third girl that the dinner was very good, and there was no wine. Don't worry. The third young master also asked the villain to tell the princess that he won't be coming back tonight, and he will take the two young masters to the Tang family's other courtyard early tomorrow morning to enjoy the plum blossoms."

After Zhou Ren finished speaking in one breath, Jin Xi nodded and said "Got it". When Zhou Ren turned around and went out, she couldn't hold back the laughter that had been held back for a long time, and pinched her nose imitating Yun Fengnian's tone and said : "Dinner is very good, no alcohol, don't worry, lady!"

When Jin Xi added an extra word of 'lady', the embarrassing Jin Yue blushed almost to the point of bleeding, twisted her handkerchief for a long time before pursing her lips and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter with you and Mr. Zhao? I heard He didn't even go home because of you!"
