Chapter 47

In the afternoon of this day, the butler went to the other courtyard to invite Ye Xihan back to the prime minister's mansion.

Ye Xihan asked what was the matter, but the housekeeper smiled without saying a word. He returned home full of suspicion, wanting to wash off the smell of alcohol before going to see his parents.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw his parents were already waiting for him.

Ye Xihan was taken aback, "Father, mother, this is—"

Ye Shuxuan told him calmly: "You will move to Kuayuan from now on. From then on, food and clothing expenses have nothing to do with the prime minister's house, and you will use your salary to take care of everything. Besides, if your deputy guard has done enough, tell me as soon as possible, I'll give you another talent."

"..." Ye Xihan felt that this was really a shock, "What, what, what does this mean? You want me to be in the prime minister's house but have separate lives?"

Ye Shuxuan ignored him and continued: "I checked the account in the past two days, and the 1000 taels of silver you withdrew privately from the account room at the beginning of the year have not been returned yet, so make up for the shortfall immediately."

Ye Xihan's eyes widened, "If I had one, wouldn't I have paid it back?"

Ye Shuxuan already had the words to respond, and said calmly: "Then use your salary to pay it back, and your salary will be sent directly to the accounting office in the future."

Ye Xihan was dumbfounded, "Then can I live this day?!"

Ye Shuxuan's tone became more serious: "You are always so extravagant, how can I live?! I am your father but I want to support you? What's the reason?! You bastard!"

"..."

"In the future, I will order the housekeeper to inform you one by one of the restaurants and other places you often go to. If anyone dares to leave you eating and drinking, the prime minister will not give you any money, and let him close the door!" Ye Shuxuan stood up and walked out. He said to Meng Shi: "Please explain the rest in detail."

Ye Xihan came to Meng Shi's side and expressed his doubts: "Mother, what's going on?"

Meng Shi didn't bother to pay attention to his appearance, first ordered people to call Xu Shi and his four concubines, and then said: "What's the matter? You don't live up to yourself, who can you blame?"

"I'm not up to date, but I won't be treated like this, right? Can't I change it?"

Meng took a deep look at him, with disappointment in his eyes, "I can't believe your words anymore. Your second brother joined the army, guarding the frontier, and was favored by the generals, and he made meritorious service for him every time. What about you? If I were your father, comparing the two, I would despise you as a son in every possible way!"

Ye Xihan's face changed when he heard the words, it seemed that the situation was more serious than he imagined.His second younger brother, Ye Xilang, joined the army at the beginning, starting as a little-known official, and later joined the army to quell the chaos, and often stayed at the border.So far, the official position is only from the fifth rank, but it is promoted step by step by one's own strength.As for him, the emperor rewarded him as a fourth-rank official because of his father's favor.But these fourth-rank officials have been working for two years, and there is no sign of promotion, and they are even a little shaky, and they will be demoted at any time.

"You can do it yourself." Meng warned, "If it is the same as in the past, if your father is not in order, he will try to transfer your second brother back to the capital as soon as possible, and keep him in front of him to train him carefully." Afterwards, he laughed at himself, "Actually, why do you need your second brother?" Whoever gives advice, that is a good seedling. Besides, I will only indulge you, Second Aunt is not as confused as I am."

"..."

Meng looked Ye Xihan up and down, and finally shook her head and sighed: "You really don't look like the Ye family at all."

Ye Xihan was really hit.

Mrs. Xu and the four concubines entered the room, and Mrs. Meng said, "Xihan will be moved to the Kuayuan from now on. Nothing in the room will be taken away, and all the salary will be handed over to the mansion. You guys Think about it carefully, if you stay here, you will receive the regular money, food and clothing expenses every month, and if you move to Kuanyuan with Xihan, he will distribute the regular money to you—don’t think that the Xiangfu is unreasonable to do this Waiting for something that violates the rules, this is what Xiangye wants, and I have to do it."

Mrs. Xu was surprised for a moment, then bowed her head in silence.

Yan Hong and the other four concubines looked at each other after hearing this.

At this time, Ye Xihan felt that it was not impossible for him to be completely abandoned by his father if things continued like this, and he panicked like never before, but he smiled heartlessly on his face, and half-jokingly said: "What do you think? It's better to stay here, I will be kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, and I will leave the house. After all, there is still a way out for you to stay, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will never abandon you."

He said it casually, and the concubines heard it, but really hesitated.go with him?He is penniless, spends too much in his spare time, and can't even pay for monthly bills; why don't you go with him?But it is already his people, staying in the mansion is also in a difficult situation.

Only Mrs. Xu said softly to Mrs. Meng: "Daughter-in-law, go back to the room and get ready—you must always bring your daily clothes."

"Yes, you go." Meng shi nodded in satisfaction, looked at Xu shi's figure, and said in her heart that she had really wronged the child.It wasn't because Ye Xihan was so irresponsible, she had already asked Mrs. Xu to host Zhongfei.

At this time, Ye Xihan noticed the hesitation of the four concubines, and he was so angry that he turned around and left, "Don't hesitate, I don't want anyone who is crying and going to cross the hospital afterwards! Every heartless thing !"

After hearing this, the concubines rushed to catch up, but Meng stopped her with his eyes:
"Since Xi Han has already said that, what else do you want? Go back to my room!" As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Hong, and his voice turned cold. people?"

The four concubines Shi Gong claimed yes, bowed their heads and retreated, and went back to their rooms.

When Mrs. Meng returned to the main room, Ye Shuxuan was drinking tea. She hesitated for a moment, but said: "This will help Xihan get rid of some bad habits slowly, but it won't really make him enterprising."

"What's the rush?" Ye Shuxuan smiled lightly, "Let him struggle in the officialdom in the future."

"Struggling in the officialdom?" Meng repeated the words, and became worried again, "You mean to let him experience ups and downs in the officialdom? What should he do if he is devastated?"

"That only shows that he was born to be a waste."

"You can't say that..."

Ye Shuxuan interrupted her with a wave of his hand: "He will either change his mind, or he will never recover. Both of these results are better than the current situation - now he is simply a hidden danger to the Ye family."

Meng looked at him thoughtfully, "You invited Lord Hou to the mansion for dinner at noon, just to discuss with him how to punish Xi Han?"

"How to say?"

Meng Shi was not afraid that he would not like to listen, so she said truthfully: "According to your previous temperament, you can't do such a thing, and you are completely helpless against Xihan."

Ye Shuxuan couldn't help laughing, "That's true."

"Then what did Lord Hou tell you?"

"You have seen my actions and heard my plans, but you still can't guess what he said? Compared with his intentions, I am too soft-hearted."

Meng thought about it too, and then asked: "If those so-called friends of Xihan go to the Kuayuan to find him—"

"Don't stop me, I'd like to see how many people can still pay attention to him when he is struggling."

Meng smirked wryly, "I will have to bear the days of the past coldness." Just now, she was very angry with several concubines, and then she was alienated by friends in the future, one can imagine her mood.Then thinking of Yu Shaoheng, he smiled again, "It's hard for you to open your mouth to discuss such matters with Lord Hou."

Ye Shuxuan said with a smile: "I am a literati after all, but Xi Han has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and he only decided to discipline him until now. He is really at a loss. After thinking about it, we can only ask our good son-in-law for his opinion."

In the afternoon, Qiao Chen arrived at the Hou's Mansion, took the pulse and changed the prescription, instructed on the paper to make the medicine into pills and take it, and after convincing the medicine, he would probably be fine.

Ye Xizhao took a careful look at Qiao Chen, he looked exhausted from the journey, and he didn't know where he went on this trip.

Immediately, Ye Xizhao became curious about Qiao An - anyone who has experienced Xiao Xun's temperament will inevitably worry that he will have a hard time getting a wife, and she is no exception.It's just that Qiao Chen couldn't speak, and it was not convenient for him to talk with each other, so he calmed down and sent Qiao Chen out of the courtyard in person.

Regarding Yu Shaoyun, Ye Xizhao was a little worried and asked people to pay attention to the movement over there.After a whole day, the eldest lady stayed quietly in the room doing embroidery work.

When he went to pay his respects at night, Yu Shaoheng turned a blind eye to Yu Shaoyun.Yu Shaoyun asked him to talk, but he ignored him.This made Mrs. Tai suspicious, leaving Ye Xizhao alone to ask: "What's wrong with these two brothers and sisters?"

Ye Xizhao looked innocent, "My daughter-in-law is also confused and was thinking of asking you."

Mrs. Tai had no choice but to give up.

After a few days, Ye Xizhao heard about Ye Xihan, and he was relieved from the bottom of his heart.Regardless of whether such a method is useful or not, at least the father's attitude made it clear that he was cruel, and even if it failed, there would be other tricks in the future.

Just when she was happy, Yuanyang came over and said that Mrs. Tai had something to do with her.

Ye Xizhao immediately went to Mrs. Tai's room.

Mrs. Tai confessed: "Go and check the items in the warehouse to see if there are any mistakes. In addition, you can take a look at the previous account books of the inner house and the old rules for handling big and small things when you have time. I have ordered someone to prepare them for you. down."

Ye Xizhao said yes.

Mrs. Tai laughed again and said: "In the future, you will have to go out with me and go around. The Hou's mansion often comes and goes, you have to gradually get familiar with it. Besides, the matter of Shaohuan's remarriage also needs to be discussed, you Follow me and keep an eye out for me."

Ye Xizhao once again respectfully claimed yes.

Mrs. Tai saw that she hadn't reacted yet, so she couldn't help laughing out loud, "This child..."

Yuanyang also covered her mouth and laughed.

Ye Xizhao blinked her eyes, and finally understood, "Mrs. Tai..." This happened so suddenly, she never thought that she had already been trusted by Mrs. Tai from the bottom of her heart.

Mrs. Tai smiled and took her hand, "I will take you with me for a while, and after you get used to it, I will hand over the inner house to you. You have been married to the Hou Mansion for two years. Let's gossip."
