The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 412 Bewitching and seizing power (2)
"Please trouble Seventh Miss."

"Nurse Wen is too polite. I'm a granddaughter, and I should serve the old lady." Xiao Mingyu stood by the bed, "Everything is fine outside, 20 taels is not too much, and it is not too much. It will definitely come together.”

Sister Wen sighed, "Now everyone has gone to the East Mansion. If you want to make up the 20 taels, the second master of the East Mansion has to nod and agree to sign and seal. But the third young master said that those properties are all handed over to the son of the prince's mansion." , In this way, Dongfu's plan will come to nothing. I am afraid that Dongfu will not easily agree to give money. If they intend to delay the time, they have to make a clear calculation, and it will be difficult to say what will happen tomorrow morning."

"Nurse Wen is right. But is it really okay for Nurse Wen to say these things in front of the old lady?"

Nanny Wen was taken aback, then smiled awkwardly, "Thank you for reminding me, I was reckless. Girl, please go back, as long as there are slaves here."

Xiao Mingyu nodded, "Okay, I'll go out first. I'll just watch outside. If Nanny Wen has any orders, just call."

Nanny Wen watched Xiao Mingyu go out with a complicated expression, then hurriedly waited for Old Madam Xiao to sit up, and wiped Old Madam Xiao's body.

The old lady Xiao's eyes were not friendly, and she stared at Nanny Wen.

Nanny Wen was a little flustered, "Old lady, do you have something to say?"

One side of Old Madam Xiao's face was stiff, but the other side was filled with various emotional expressions, which looked extremely weird. When she opened her mouth, the saliva would uncontrollably fall from the stiff side.This made Mrs. Xiao extremely embarrassed.It is a great shame and humiliation in my life. "Outside, outside..."

"The old lady asked about the situation outside, just like what the servant girl said before. Today, the seventh girl and the third young master went out to meet the prince of the prince's mansion. They reached an agreement with His Royal Highness. They said that they would give the government 20 taels tomorrow morning. The old man can be rescued. In addition, the property rights of several grain stores and those small mines in our West Mansion must be handed over to His Royal Highness. Said this is the condition of His Royal Highness's agreement to help." Wen Nanny said cautiously.

The old lady Xiao knew that she had to control her temper, but she just couldn't control it, "Unfilial son..."

"Old lady, there is nothing you can do. Those properties will either fall into the hands of the Dongfu, or fall into the hands of other people. For the son of the royal family, at least it can buy a way for the Xiao family to survive." Madam Wen cautiously Advise.

The old lady Xiao's lips turned purple, "Go, go and call someone... I, I have something to say..."

"Old lady, everyone is in the East Mansion right now." Nanny Wen said in a difficult way.

"You, don't you listen?" Mrs. Xiao tried her best to speak in full.

"Slaves don't dare." Nanny Wen knelt in front of the bed, "Slaves are gone, and those girls and women are not paying attention, wouldn't they make the old lady suffer."

"Go, go quickly." Mrs. Xiao waved her normal hand, "Go..."

"The slave is going here."

As soon as Nanny Wen went out, she saw Xiao Mingyu.

Xiao Mingyu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Nurse Wen, but there is something that needs my help."

Nanny Wen thought for a while, stomped her feet, and said to Xiao Mingyu: "Girl, the old lady wants to see everyone, and she probably wants to discuss saving the old man. But everyone is at the East Mansion right now, or they haven't come back yet. The servant girl is really embarrassed to die."

Xiao Mingyu smiled and said, "There's no need to worry about it. Mother, don't worry, I'm here to watch."

Nanny Wen hesitated, "How appropriate is this? How about asking the girl to help the servant walk, and the servant will kowtow to the girl."

"Don't be like this, Mammy. It's all right, you can appease the old lady, everyone will come later."

"Thank you girl."

When everyone came back from Dongfu, no one came to see Mrs. Xiao.Since Mrs. Xiao is paralyzed and can't speak fluently, no one will pay attention to Mrs. Xiao's opinion.Even Xiao Maoyang, who pays attention to the demeanor of a gentleman, did not say a word about Mrs. Xiao because of his dissatisfaction with Mrs. Xiao, let alone take the initiative to let everyone see Mrs. Xiao.

I got the silver from Dongfu softly and hard, and together with the part I collected before, I barely made up 20 taels.As for the gap of a few thousand taels, three housing heads, one family pays 2000 taels, and this matter is considered resolved.

On the second day, before dawn, everyone got up.

Everyone gathered in the meeting hall, accountant Liu Guanshi took the cash and bank notes to Xiao Minghui's hands, "Master, here is a total of 20 taels. In order to keep these silver, the little one last night I didn't close my eyes, and I didn't leave every step, but fortunately everything is safe. Eldest young master, do you want to take stock?"

"No, I trust you." Xiao Minghui said simply.

Xiao Mingzhen frowned, and suggested something subtly, "Brother, in order to prevent accidents, it's better to make an inventory."

Xiao Maoyang stroked his beard and nodded, "That's right, it's time to count. Since it's still early, there is enough time to count these silver taels. Come on, let's do it together."

Xiao Minghun's face was ugly, and he held back his anger, "Okay, since Fifth Uncle has already spoken, how can my nephew say nothing?"

Xiao Mingzhen remained calm, Xiao Minghui was dissatisfied with him, he could naturally see it.But now is not the time to worry about these things.

After counting, the number is the same as that on the ledger, no problem at all.So Xiao Minghui took the lead, and together with Xiao Maoheng and Xiao Maoyang, they set off to the Yamen to redeem people.Xiao Mingzhen sent it to the gate, and said worriedly: "Brother, if there is any difficulty, please ask someone to come back and report it as soon as possible. The family will find a way."

Xiao Minghui waved impatiently, "Okay, I'm more familiar with this matter than you. I've been working outside for so many years, don't I even understand these things? Go back and read your book carefully."

Xiao Mingzhen smiled and didn't talk much.On the contrary, Xiao Maoyang looked at Xiao Minghui dissatisfiedly, snorted coldly, and walked in front with his sleeves thrown.

After watching the group leave, Xiao Mingzhen returned to the inner courtyard.Xiao Mingyu was waiting for Xiao Mingzhen in the garden.

Xiao Mingyu asked, "Has everyone left?"

"Yes, everyone is gone. I hope everything goes well today." Xiao Mingzhen said expressionlessly.

Xiao Mingyu asked again: "Why didn't the third brother go with you today? In fact, it is most suitable for you to go. After all, you discussed it with His Royal Highness, and the government must know about it. If you go, the government will take care of you." For Your Highness's sake, I will give you two points of face."

Xiao Mingzhen laughed at himself, "It's the same whoever goes. Big Brother is familiar with the outside world and has dealt with the government for a long time. It is more suitable for him to go than me."

"Really?" Xiao Mingyu looked at Xiao Mingzhen with a half-smile, "This incident not only exposed the problems of our Xiao family, did the third brother not see the problems of the eldest brother?"
