The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 416 Cutting Meat (1)
Xiao Mingzhen asked: "Old man, the East Mansion has been plotting about the properties of our West Mansion, especially those mines. Originally, the East Mansion was ready to buy those properties from our West Mansion, but it turned out that the grandson decided to take all of these properties. After giving it to His Royal Highness, the East Mansion has long been furious. They said a lot of nasty things yesterday. Now that the old man is back, the East Mansion may not give up, and they will go to the mansion to find the old man. "

"What are you afraid of? They don't come to the old man. When the old man gets better, he will go to them to settle accounts. I want to ask them if their surname is Xiao. They even collaborated with outsiders to murder the Xiao family. Industry. Bo Zong is also an idiot. After finally going down the mountain, he was caught by his daughter-in-law. Okay, let’s talk about the East Mansion another day. Mingyu..."

Xiao Mingyu's heart trembled, and when the word Mingyu came out of the old man's mouth, Xiao Mingyu had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Mr. Xiao said: "Ming Yu, our Xiao family wants to revive the family tradition. In the land of Zhongzhou, the support of the palace is indispensable. Since you are familiar with Princess Qinghe, you can also be called His Royal Highness. Words. How about this, find a time, you go to the palace for the old man, and try to fight for the Xiao family. Do you understand? "

Xiao Mingyu lowered his head, making it hard to see his expression, "What the old man said is true. It's just that Princess Qinghe only asks about the affairs of the palace, so it's useless to find Princess Qinghe. And His Royal Highness, if there is nothing important, the granddaughter doesn't care at all. It would be impossible to meet His Royal Highness. The granddaughter will try her best to do what the old man ordered. But the granddaughter can't guarantee whether it can be done well."

Xiao Mingyu's answer made Mr. Xiao very disappointed.Mr. Xiao did not show his disappointment, but said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. In short, it's a big deal to communicate with the palace a lot. You can't be negligent, and you must take it to heart. Do you know? Even if Qinghe Princess is not Asking about the palace, but Princess Qinghe can help to pass on a message. Build a good relationship with Princess Qinghe, and I will have the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness in the future."

Xiao Mingyu smiled wryly, "Yes, my granddaughter will do what the old man said."

"That's great. If you need anything, just ask."

"Thank you sir."

It was already late, and all business matters were finished, so Xiao Mingyu and Xiao Mingzhen took leave together.

Mr. Xiao was frowning, but Butler Xiao reminded: "Mr., it's getting late. You should rest early. Mr.'s health is not as good as before, but now you need to take good care of it."

Mr. Xiao nodded, "You have someone notify the accountant and ask them to settle the accounts. I will see the result tomorrow."

"Old man, should you slow down this matter. The cashiers are exhausted these days. In order to guard the money, they dare not sleep all night long." Housekeeper Xiao said cautiously.

Mr. Xiao waved his hand, "Let him work hard for a few more days, and then the old man will give them a holiday. Now that the Xiao family's wealth is almost wiped out, no matter what to do next, the old man must first know what to do. Look at the Xiao family. After this incident, how many industrial silver taels are left? Can these industries help the Xiao family stand up again. "

"The old man has worked too hard. He only rested for an afternoon, and now he has to work again. Seeing you, I feel tired for the old man."

"The old man is the backbone of the Xiao family. Without the old man, the hearts of the Xiao family will be scattered. So how can the old man not use more snacks." The old man Xiao sighed, and his heart was also sad.

Xiao Mingyu parted from Xiao Mingzhen at the intersection, Xiao Mingyu said: "I saw the old man today, thanks to the third brother who helped me cover up one or two, otherwise the old man may have greater hopes for me, and in the end he will be even more disappointed."

Xiao Mingzhen said: "Sister Mingyu, you should pay more attention in the future. I will help you block the old man's place."

Xiao Mingyu smiled gratefully, "Thank you third brother. If there is anything third brother needs help in the future, as long as I can help, I will definitely help third brother, including the matter I mentioned earlier."

Xiao Mingzhen frowned, "Sister Ming Yu doesn't need to talk about that matter anymore, I am devoted to studying and taking the imperial examination, and I can't be distracted by other things. Also, the successor of the patriarch is determined by the old man. Since the old man chose Brother Minghui, naturally There is a reason. And brother Minghui is not as unbearable as sister Mingyu said."

"Really? Third brother, I can see that elder brother has grown jealous and wary of you. Do you think you two brothers can still live in harmony as before? It's like my father and fourth uncle are brothers. After getting married and starting a business, each of them has their own family, so their minds are naturally different. It is impossible for the two brothers to use their energy in the same place. In the future, there will be a lot of filth between you and your elder brother. I really do I am very worried about third brother. Third brother, plan ahead and plan early, anyway, I am optimistic about you."

Xiao Mingzhen smiled wryly, "Sister Mingyu, stop talking, I won't consider this matter."

Xiao Mingyu smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I won't bring up this matter again." Xiao Mingyu said goodbye and left, but Xiao Mingzhen was full of worries.After returning to the big room, I have to deal with Xiao Minghui who is suspicious. Thinking about it is really exhausting.

Mr. Xiao lay on the bed for two days, and he could not get out of bed until the third day.

In the past two days, Mr. Xiao has done two things.The first thing was to meet Xiao Maoyang, Xiao Maoheng, Xiao Minghui, and several daughters-in-law.The second thing is to let the accountant account.The accounts of the inner court and outer court business are all calculated clearly.

After Xiao Mingzhen handed over the promised property to the hands of His Royal Highness, the old man Xiao was sad again, but also heaved a sigh of relief.In this catastrophe, the Xiao Family's West Mansion lost most of its property, including all the property left by the ancestors.On the other hand, Dongfu had no loss at all.Think about it, it's really annoying.

On this day, Mr. Xiao got out of bed and came to Fushou Hall to visit Mrs. Xiao.

The old lady Xiao was lying on the bed, unable to move.But in just a few days, Mrs. Xiao has lost a lot of weight, and she looks old.

Seeing Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao burst into tears. She held Mr. Xiao's hand and refused to let go, and looked at Mr. Xiao eagerly.

Mr. Xiao also felt sad, and his old wife was paralyzed. No one would feel comfortable with this matter.Patting the back of Mrs. Xiao's hand, Mr. Xiao said: "Take good care of your body. Doctors say that as long as you calm down and recuperate, don't get angry, and your condition will be relieved. Maybe it will be as if nothing happened in the end."

The old lady Xiao shook her head again and again, "Old, master... son, old man, things outside..." The old lady Xiao spoke intermittently.

Mr. Xiao nodded, expressing that he understood, "Old lady, don't worry about the outside affairs. With the old man here, I will take care of everything. After this incident, although the strength of the Xiao family was greatly damaged, after two or three years, the Xiao family will be able to take care of everything again. It will recover. As for Maojie, the old man has already sent someone to talk to Zhang Shiqian. Zhang Shiqian is also a man of good manners, and has taken Maojie home from the village. After a while, Maojie will be able to come out and continue to take care of her. The Zhang family. Mao Jie will be able to visit you at that time. Take good care of your body, and Mao Jie won’t be so sad when you recover.”
