The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 449 Seeing the Princess (1)
Xiao Mingyu picked up Brother Cheng and kissed him, "Honey, you need to grow up quickly. I don't know what's going on with the fourth sister and the others now. How is the talk with the Chai family?"

Nanny Chang smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry. Didn't the wife write a letter a few days ago, saying that everything is going well. Miss, what else is there to worry about?"

"How can I not be worried. The rainy season is coming soon. If the mother and the others don't come back, the road will be difficult. Also, judging from the letter, it seems that the wedding date has been set. No, the fourth sister will get married this year. There is Ming Qi who has not made a decision. The second sister of the third room is from the East Mansion, she got married last year, it doesn't matter. But we are both from the West Mansion, why don't you think about Ming Qi?" Xiao Mingyu asked curiously .

Mother Chang laughed and said: "What does it matter? Ming Qi's marriage cannot be settled, she found it herself. Besides, the fifth house and the eldest house are not in the same house, so you don't have to marry each other according to their size. Of course, If you, Ming Yu, get married earlier than Ming Xuan, then you will definitely not be able to, and you will be gossiped about."

Xiao Mingyu smiled and said, "I heard that the rules in the capital are very strict. Like the current situation of the Xiao family, before Ming Qi gets married, Ming Xuan can't get married no matter what. Aunt Chang, is it like this in the capital? "

Nanny Chang nodded, "That's the rule in the capital. But now we are in Zhongzhou, so naturally we don't have to abide by the rules in the capital."

"In this way, the rules in Zhongzhou are a little looser. The rules in the capital are a bit stricter. People like us who are used to living in Zhongzhou may not be able to get used to it when they go to the capital." Xiao Mingyu laughed.

Nanny Chang smiled and said: "Girl, you don't have to worry about this. The rules in the capital are strict, but they can't control the girl. Besides, I don't know when I will be able to go to the capital. Maybe Brother Cheng is enlightened. leave."

While playing with Cheng Geer, Xiao Ming said: "It may not be. The world may change at any time."

Mother Chang disapproved, "Girl, you can't talk nonsense. If the world really changes, our Xiao family may not be able to hide from it."

"Don't worry, Mammy, I won't say the same thing again."

But looking at the actions of the palace, Xiao Mingyu is really not optimistic.Maybe at some point the palace will directly tear apart the face of the imperial court.

Early in the morning, Xiao Mingyu got into the carriage and went out of the city to return to the Xiao family's old house.The journey was safe, no one robbed, no one murdered, Mei Ruhui finally kept his word once, and didn't come out to intercept her.

Returning safely to the Xiao family's old house, Xiao Mingyu was not in a hurry to see Mr. Xiao, but went back to the fifth room first.Although Wufang's family has gone to the city, there are still people guarding and cleaning Wufang.After returning to the room to wash and change into clean clothes, I called my mother-in-law to inquire about the recent situation in the mansion.

The mother-in-law said: "Returning to the girl, since the fourth wife took care of the house, there have been some troubles. But because the old man is in charge, although the troubles have arisen, they have been suppressed in the end."

Xiao Mingyu asked, "What is it, tell me about it."

The mother-in-law did not hesitate, and said: "Returning to the girl, the fourth wife first wanted to replace the buyer. You can't say that this is wrong. After all, the fourth wife is in charge. It is not an exaggeration for her to replace someone she can trust. But Wu The person who was in charge was the old lady, who was also dismissed. Wu was not convinced, so he went to find the old lady. The old lady was already unbearable, but this time, the old lady fell ill again, and made the old man very angry. Manager Wu was beaten up and kicked out. If the old lady hadn't pleaded for mercy, Manager Wu's life might not have been kept. Also, the fourth wife in the kitchen had to change. This time, the fourth wife learned from the last time However, the girl also knows that most of the people in this mansion are born in the family. If you pull two people out at random, you can get a little relationship. If the fourth wife wants to move the kitchen, she just moves There are a lot of other people's financial resources. Although those people are afraid of the old man and dare not make a scene, they have also caused trouble for the fourth wife. The fourth wife is not having a good life recently, and her temper is also very big. The old man reprimanded the fourth wife Twice. If it weren't for the big wife's fault, the old man would have wanted the old lady to continue to take care of the house."

After Xiao Mingyu listened, he nodded. These changes were all predictable.The Xiao family laid off so many people at once, and many of them hadn't found a livelihood in a short period of time, so they had to rely on the help of their relatives who were still working in the Xiao family.In this way, everyone naturally hopes that everything will remain the same. Only in this way can they have a chance to earn more money.As soon as the Liao family came to power, personnel changes began, which would naturally touch the interests of countless people.

Those servants seem to be servants of the Xiao family, and they must obey the master's words unconditionally.But the reality is not the case. These people are intertwined with relatives, and coupled with related interests, they will definitely try to find trouble for the Liao family.For example, the Liao family moved the interests of the people in the kitchen. Some relatives such as uncles or uncles in the kitchen worked by the old man's side.So he looked for an opportunity to arrange bad things about Liao in front of the old man.When the old man heard this, it was serious. Later, the old man would find trouble with Liao Shi, and it was almost difficult for Liao Shi to do things.

Xiao Mingyu asked: "Apart from the troubles encountered by the fourth wife, is there anything else?"

The woman said: "I have come to Dongfu several times to negotiate with the old man about money. I don't know the specific slaves. I only know that Dongfu quarreled with the old man a few times. It is said that the old man's attitude is very firm. I also heard that The old man has tripped up Dongfu in private, and Dongfu's life has not been very easy recently. The boss has suffered losses in business."

Xiao Mingyu laughed, this seemed like something Mr. Xiao would do.

Xiao Mingyu asked again: "So, the 20 taels from Dongfu haven't come yet?"

"That's right. For the 20 taels, the East Mansion is going non-stop all day long."

Xiao Mingyu asked: "Where is the big room? Has there been no movement recently?"

"Returning to the girl, since Miss Mingying is gone, Aunt Xue can't do it anymore. The doctor said it's a heart disease. If she doesn't open her heart, Aunt Xue might not be able to survive this winter. The eldest wife also gave birth to a serious illness because of Miss Mingying. Very angry. Now Miss Ming Qi is being supervised very strictly, even the eldest girl is not allowed to take a step out of the boudoir. The young lady has a big belly and is raising the baby with peace of mind. The young master is running around outside, but all ideas are The old man made the decision, and the young master is just an errand runner now. The servants have heard people say that it was the young master who secretly complained about the old man's arrangement."

Xiao Mingyu nodded and smiled, "How is Mingzhen?"

"Girl, the third young master is studying at ease now, and he hardly cares about outside matters. The old man didn't let the third young master participate in these matters. But from time to time, the old man will let young master Mingzhen accompany him to play chess. It takes a long time. The servants watched coldly, although the old man didn't let the third young master participate in business matters, he paid the same attention to the third young master as much as the eldest young master, and there was a faint tendency to surpass the young master."
