Chapter 168

"You just have to know it in your heart." The elder knew that his son would still pay attention to his views on the position reserve, harem, and court disputes, and would not oppose him in this regard.After another glass of wine, he talked about family affairs, "The disturbance at home is becoming more and more unseemly. I don't expect you to intervene, but I hope you don't add to the chaos."

Xi Lang didn't respond, and changed the subject with a cup, "Have a drink."

Grandpa: "..." After drinking a glass of wine with luck, he said again, "Your second uncle is not suitable to take care of general affairs. In a few days, let the third take over. I haven't found him an official position all these years." , never did him any favors."

"No." Xi Lang flatly refused, "If that's the case, it's better to continue to let the second uncle take care of it."

The elder stared: "It's just to make a fuss, and it makes sense on the surface, why do you do this?"

"How many things are caused by you doing this kind of article. No way." Xi Lang smiled slightly, "Can't you write an article once in a while, give me some benefits, and let me live a quiet life for a few days?"

Grandpa: "..."

Xi Lang stopped talking, just raised his glass frequently.It wasn't that he was impatient to talk about these family matters with the old man, but because the old man's way of dealing with the world was really the opposite of his - there was nothing to say, and if he talked too much, he would get into disputes.In the middle of the night, he didn't have that kind of leisure.

Xiang Zhixuan guessed that Qian Youmei was already an ant on the hot pot, and maybe she would order the servant girl to pass the message to her tonight.

Sure enough, after doing embroidery work for a while, Xiao Lian came over again.

Xiao Lian is an old man in the third master's room, but Qian Youmei has repeatedly sent her to pass on the message. It seems that this girl also knows the importance, and she is more clever than Qian Youmei's dowry maid.

The maids in each room, the owner only has women who are the main wives, no matter what a man will protect a maid in the open - the guarded maid usually has already become a concubine or concubine.

When Xiao Lian came this time, she first asked Xiang Zhixuan to send away the maid who was serving at the side, and then she explained in detail the dispute between Qian Youmei and Xixiu, and then said in a low voice: "Third Grandma feels extremely chilled by Third Master." , the slave girl listened to it... and it was because of her dissatisfaction, which is also the reason why the third grandma let the slave servant come over to pass on the message. The third grandma wanted to follow the way of the uncle of the Xiang family, using the bribery of the old lady as an excuse to stay here It is not difficult in the mansion. Right now she just wants to get out of the predicament of being grounded. The longer the time is, the more the servants will despise her. If she really waits until three months before going out, remember that there are not many of her. Therefore, she just She wanted to ask the fourth grandma to help her. She also knew that there was no hope of the Qian family's promotion right now, and even the second master would take action to clean up the Qian family. She only hoped that the Qian family would remain as it was, and that she would obey the fourth grandma in the future—she said She has now seen clearly that only the elder master or the fourth master can give the Qian family a little benefit, and the elder master and the fourth master can completely obstruct the Qian family's affairs if they are obedient to each other."

After Xiang Zhixuan listened carefully, she thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "I'm sick now, so I can't go to Da Furen to help and intercede. If your third grandma can really do what she says, I can give her an idea: she can go to I beg the Second Madam, give the Second Madam some benefits, if there is such a person to help you speak, the day when you leave the house is not far away."

Xiao Lian was taken aback when she heard the words.

Xiang Zhixuan smiled, "What your third grandma thinks is one thing, but how she acts is another. If you turn around immediately and get along well with my sister-in-law, others will only find it weird. The two of us It's not easy to be a human being. According to my guess, if she asks the second wife, it should be able to get things done, remember to promise benefits first, and then honor them after things are done. Try first, if it doesn't work, I will help her deal with it."

Xiao Lian was still at a loss, and said yes in a low voice, "After the maidservant returns, she will tell the third grandma what the fourth grandma said."
