Flowers are expensive

Chapter 498
"What kind of logic are you talking about?" Xi Xi laughed, "Does eloping have something to do with your size? It has something to do with your temper! What's wrong? Envy? Are you particularly jealous and hateful? If Sister Cuiyue also It would be nice if I could elope with you, wouldn't it?"

Qixiang was envious to death, but said with an indifferent expression: "How boring is it to elope? I have always done things aboveboard! I want to marry Cuiyue, and I will be good-looking, and Mingmei will marry her rightly!"

"Okay!" Xi Xi patted the table, pointed at him and said, "I'll be waiting for your invitation! I'll prepare a big gift for you when I get back. If you don't marry Sister Cuiyue, you will be a grandson!"

"The grandson is the grandson! I am determined to marry this daughter-in-law! I will leave first, and I will find you later!" Qi Xiang got up and opened the door to go out.Xixi asked where he lived, but he didn't answer.

Yutao asked curiously: "Who was that person just now?"

Xixi shook her shoulders and smiled and said, "Your fourth brother's cousin may still be your half-boss in the future!"

Not long after, Meng Furu came.Xixi introduced Yutao to Meng Furu, and then the two went to hand over the warehouse.Xixi was busy checking the accounts in the shop in the morning, and now that the banknotes have been paid and sealed, and in the afternoon, she rushed to meet the matchmakers, and put the feast on the agenda again.It wasn't until You Xian'er sent someone to urge her to return home for dinner twice that she called Wu Ye and Xin'er to leave the workshop.

But as soon as the sedan chair walked halfway, it was stopped by a panting deer.Xixi raised the curtain and asked, "What's wrong? Your house was burglarized?"

"Treasurer Long said that the empress must go and get the little prince away!"

"Qixiang went to your place?"

"Yes!"

"Isn't it over if you kick it out?"

"This time he didn't go to play, he planned to stay with his bedroll!"

"Huh? He...he became a rascal?"

"No matter how much our shopkeeper kicks him out, he won't leave. He said he will be a long-term worker for our shopkeeper!"

All the people beside the sedan chair laughed.Xixi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look and see what he's up to! Let's go!"

When Xixi left, Qixiang was in the kitchen, not knowing what he was busy with.Hearing the noise outside, he hurriedly ran out and said, "A visitor? Why are you here, sister-in-law? Did you come to see our shopkeeper?"

When seeing Qixiang, Xixi was stunned for an instant, to be precise, she weathered instantly!She stared at Qixiang for a long time, pointed to Qixiang's clothes and asked, "Where did you get your clothes?"

"Oh, I bought it ready-made at a tailor's shop. It's not expensive, only two taels of silver a set! How about it, sister-in-law? I look a bit like a housekeeper, don't I?"

Qixiang has indeed changed a lot!He is still very particular about dressing, sometimes he doesn't even care about the clothes that You Xian'er gave him, and there are even more messy things hanging around his waist. When he goes out, he looks like a salesman, which can dazzle your eyes .

But at this moment, he was like a smeared singer who suddenly took off her hairpin and washed her fat, and her whole body was refreshed. He was only wearing bamboo-leaf green clothes, with a purse hanging around his waist, and there was no other burden.Even the jasper belt that binds the hair has been replaced with low-key white jade.

Xixi looked at it again and again, and couldn't help but praise: "Little prince, I have never thought you are so handsome!"

"Handsome? Oh, is that the word you used to describe Brother Bingcan?" Qi Xiang was a little proud, and raised his head and said, "That's natural! Young master, I... No, it's my housekeeper who is born beautiful and hard to give up on!"

"Okay, the butler is going to pay back the principal? Then please ask the butler Qi to take me to see your shopkeeper!"

"Sister-in-law, please!" Qixiang gestured politely to invite someone, it really looks like that!Xixi covered her mouth and laughed all the way to Cuiyue's room, it was so funny!The butler?

"Xixi, hurry up and get the little prince away!" Cuiyue, who was lying on the bed, said with a sad face.

Xixi smiled and said, "I see that he is doing very well! Why don't you let him try? Maybe you can train a great housekeeper!"

"Don't make fun of me, I can't afford a housekeeper like this, and this," Cuiyue handed Xi Xi the IOU beside her pillow, "This is what he lent me 500 taels of silver back then. I will return all the IOUs to him, and I don’t want the 500 taels anymore, just ask him to go out!”

"He said he came to pay you back the money?"

"Isn't it? As soon as he entered the door, he said he owed the debt and paid the money. He had no money, so he had to work to offset it. Before I agreed, he started to assign work to himself, and forcibly sealed himself the title of housekeeper , do you think I need a housekeeper in this small yard? Isn’t that an elephant in a birdcage?” Cuiyue shook her head again and again, “You get him away anyway! He can be tied or lifted!”

"Why don't you let him stay with you temporarily? He already knows about the child, and he doesn't want you to take the child away. After all, he is his own flesh and blood. Besides, you don't know about some things that happened recently. , making it difficult for him to live in the palace."

"what's up?"

"Anyway, it was his mother who killed Bing Shuai's mother, and they are making a fuss!"

Cuiyue asked in surprise: "There is such a thing?"

"What are you doing to coax you? A few days ago, Bing Shuai almost wiped his mother's neck on the spot in the palace! It's not easy for him to meet Bing Shuai now, and it's embarrassing to meet him. Originally, he was forcibly taken away by his mother." Yes, when he heard that his mother had found him a concubine, she ran away immediately. So..." Xixi hesitated for a moment and said, "I was a little selfish, thinking that you would accept him, We can still be sisters-in-law in the future! Although I think so, you have to nod. If you really don’t want him to stay here, I can ask Bingshuai to tie him back.”

Cui Yue sighed lightly and said, "I really don't care about him."

"Usually you just think about that at all, but now you might as well think about it carefully and take a good look to see if he is so unsatisfactory. This is also an explanation for you and the child in your belly, isn't it?"

"But it's not the case that he stays in my house like this!"

"I promise you that if you don't let him stay in your house, he will definitely set up a shed to stay in front of your house. Tell me, which one is more eye-catching?"

"It was just a whim, and he withdrew after making trouble for two days."

"Well, let him stay at your house for a couple of days first. If he really wants to play on a whim, he will leave by himself, how? In this way, you will also give him a chance. I really want to take it in the future." I won't persuade you to lose this child, it's all because of his failure to live up to expectations."

Cuiyue frowned and thought for a while and said, "Okay, let him stay for two days. Let's see how long he can hold back? The world can be changed, but the nature is hard to change. He can't last for a few days."

Xixi then left Cuiyue's room, and waved to Qi Xiang who was instructing the little girl to clean the yard.Qi Xiang quickly ran over and asked with a smile, "Sister-in-law, how is it? She didn't say to drive me away, did she?"

Xixi patted her heart, and said with a low laugh: "Who am I? Your dear sister-in-law, why didn't you help me? She has promised to keep you for two days, you have to fight for yourself!"

"Don't worry!" Qi Xiang wiped his sleeves and said, "This time I have made up my mind, I must keep my son and marry back my wife! Sister-in-law, thank you very much!"

"You're welcome, I also want the fat and water not to flow to outsiders! Hee hee... Work hard, Housekeeper Qi!" Xixi raised her fist at him and smiled, "It's up to you whether you have a son in the coming year!"

"Understood, sister-in-law, go slowly!"

After Qixiang sent Xixi out of the door, he came back and told the little girl: "Remember to go out and buy two thick willow boards tomorrow."

The little girl asked curiously: "My lord, why are you buying willow boards?"

"Didn't I make my words clear just now? I'm not the little prince, but the housekeeper Qi, do you understand?"

"Ah..." The little girl was at a loss!Is this coming for real?Play house?
Qixiang said solemnly: "I bought willows for swings. The pergola alone in this yard is not good-looking, but the swings are unique enough. In the future, there will be a place for pillows and my son to play! Remember it?" ?”

The little girl nodded with a messy expression, completely confused about the situation!Are there really multiple butlers in the family?How big is this place, and a housekeeper has been created?For a housekeeper with such a big title, can the shopkeeper afford the salary?
Lu'er looked funny, walked into the room and said to Cuiyue: "Shopkeeper, the little prince really has the butler's score!"

Cuiyue frowned and said: "Let him go! Let him make trouble for two days and it will stop. Just watch him and don't make him make trouble."

Cuiyue didn't sleep well that night, she didn't know what she was worried about, and woke up as soon as she fell asleep, several times intermittently.It wasn't until dawn that she fell into a drowsy sleep.When she woke up, she was startled as soon as she opened the curtain, and hurriedly called Lu'er.

Lu'er didn't come in, Qixiang opened the door and ran in and asked, "Shopkeeper, what's the matter? Are you awake?"

"Why are you? Where's the deer?"

"I let her and the nanny go out to play with the pillow. It's not good for children to stay at home all the time, so they have to go out and walk around more." Qi Xiang no longer had a playful smile as before when talking to Cui Yue, but was serious .

"Then... what about these things? Did you change them?"

"I changed it. You see, the tablecloth was replaced with a royal blue one. It's warm and comfortable, doesn't it? I folded those plum blossoms from outside the city in the morning, and I found the plum vase from the grocery store." Yes, it fits the occasion. Also, I changed the carpet to a long-pile one. It’s almost December, and your short-pile one should have been changed long ago. I found these things from your grocery store. I didn’t give them Can you add an extra penny to your expenses?" Qi Xiang asked with his hands behind his back.

Cuiyue's throat suddenly seemed to be stuck by something, and it could be that the two words were stuck there, unable to go up or down.In fact, she quite liked Qixiang's arrangement.It's not that she doesn't like beauty, it's just that she is too busy on weekdays and has to take care of pillows, so she doesn't pay much attention to these decorations.When I just opened the curtain, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I thought I was sleepwalking!
"Shopkeeper, do you have any other orders?" Qi Xiang asked seriously with a face like I'm a big butler.

"No...it's gone...you...you go out first!" It was Cuiyue's turn to be at a loss, what did this guy want to do?Do you really want to be a housekeeper in your own home?

"I immediately asked the girl to come in and wait for you to freshen up. You are almost a little moon, but there is no difference between you and a little moon, so Brother Zhaoxun told you that you have to wait for half a month before you can go out to get some fresh air. Counting today, you still have nine days to die." You can go out now. Before that," Qi Xiang went to the window and opened it, turned around and said, "You can also stand here to breathe and smell the fragrance of flowers."

Cuiyue looked up and saw a few pots of poinsettias and camellias outside the window, instantly making her drab yard more lively.She blinked her eyes and asked Qixiang, "Where did you come from?"

"I moved to Prince You's Mansion." Qi Xiang replied confidently.

"How can you move the things from Prince You's Mansion to my house?"

"This is reciprocity! When I went to see my sister-in-law in the morning, I brought two baskets of buns steamed by Lu'er. In order to thank you, my sister-in-law sent you a few pots of flowers, isn't it good?"
