The most difficult female boss in history

Chapter 263 Father's Private Property
Jiang Lianxin had never seen Ding Wei so fierce before, she was startled for a moment, then immediately lowered her head obediently, not daring to speak.Xiao Mingzhu stepped forward and embraced Jiang Lianxin's shoulders, patted her on the back lightly, and smiled at Ding Wei: "Well, don't scold her either, she just cares about me."

Ding Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he stepped forward and hugged Xiao Mingzhu tightly, and said: "I understand, but she is not young anymore, she should know what to ask and what not to ask, she should know."

Xiao Mingzhu didn't say anything, Jiang Lianxin also nodded: "Sister Xiao, I really shouldn't inquire about this matter."

Ding Wei's tone softened a little: "Lian Xin, it's not that my cousin insists on scolding you, nor does it mean that my cousin doesn't believe you. It's just that you are still young, sometimes you can't hide your thoughts, and you are easily seen through. I I know that you won't say anything unfavorable to Mingzhu, but I'm afraid that sometimes if you reveal something unintentionally, it will bring Mingzhu some necessary trouble."

Jiang Lianxin also remembered the words of her mother who had been scolding her for a month after Yunhualou, and nodded repeatedly: "I know, so I don't care that you keep it from me, because I can't be sister Xiao's weakness."

"So cute!" Xiao Mingzhu and Ding Wei both hugged her at the same time.

Xiao Mingzhu pulled them to sit down at the round table again, and Nanny Shang brought hot tea and cakes for them, and also brought up plum blossoms that had been placed in vases.

"It's so beautiful, is this cinnabar?" Jiang Lianxin couldn't sit still, and immediately circled around the plum blossom in a vase twice: "Can I take a bottle home?"

"I don't know what species it is. I just picked it because it looks good. You can take it if you like it." Xiao Mingzhu smiled and winked at Ding Wei. Zheng Xiangyi's conversation is said to cover up this matter.He just said that he met Jiuye and his group on the way back, and told them that he went to the plum forest because he lost a bet with Ding Wei and the others and was punished by them to pick plum branches.

"Of course, you are punished to pick plum branches." Ding Weishou understood, smiled, and pointed to one of the vases of plum branches: "I want this, and I will take the vase with me."

Xiao Mingzhu laughed: "All right, anyway, the vase is not mine, as long as Mrs. Qian doesn't ask you for it, you can take it away."

After that, they didn't go out of the garden again, the three of them ate lunch together, took a lunch break for half an hour, and played together for a while, before Ding Wei and Jiang Lianxin bid farewell.

Xiao Mingzhu asked Nanny Shang to send the two of them away, and after watching them leave, she asked Zhichun to invite Master Qian quietly.

Master Qian might have been waiting for Xiao Mingzhu a long time ago. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Xiao Mingzhu playing with the jade tiger in his hands. His eyes narrowed, and others couldn't see through his thoughts.

Xiao Mingzhu glanced at the servant next to her, "Go out."

Aunt Qiao hesitated, Xiao Mingzhu nodded cautiously at her, Aunt Qiao led all the servants out of the hall, but she didn't go far and stood outside the door.

Xiao Mingzhu got up, walked to the pillar in the hall that she had noticed something strange before, stretched out her hand to touch a certain recess on the pattern, and pressed the white jade tiger in her hand to the recess, a piece popped out of the pillar, it turned out to be a box , and there are a bunch of things in the box.

Xiao Mingzhu didn't take the items inside, but looked back at Master Qian.

Master Qian smiled, stepped forward, and bowed to Xiao Mingzhu: "Qian Yi has met the eldest girl."

"Master Qian, why is there such a big gift." Xiao Mingzhu said.

Master Qian pushed the box back into the pillar with his hand, took off the white jade tiger and handed it back to Xiao Mingzhu: "These are all left by the general for the girl, the dowry the general left for the girl. The battlefield is ruthless, and the general is always afraid." I have a good or bad thing, the girl will have nothing to rely on, and she is afraid that the property in the mansion will be taken away by the clan, so I put all the dowry here and let me manage it temporarily."

Some people only know that he is the general's personal soldier, but in fact he is a boy bought by the general from a human trafficker, but the general pardoned his slave status and let him join the army.After he was injured and discharged from the army, the general also married him, and asked him to guard the dowry left for the girl.

He took out a thin notebook from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Mingzhu: "This is the account book, you can take it back and take it back for a closer look."

Xiao Mingzhu refused, "I don't know how to run a business, and the general's mansion is in chaos right now, so it's better for Uncle Qian to take care of these things." Father chose Qian Yi to be the manager, and he could even give these tokens to Qian Yi, She must have trusted him very much, so why should she bother.Besides, if Qian Yi had a greedy heart, why would he hand over the white jade tiger to her.

Master Qian didn't insist, he put the notebook back in his arms, and said: "Miss, if you have something to do, you can send a message."

Xiao Mingzhu smiled and saluted him cautiously: "Thank you for your hard work, uncle."

"Don't dare!" Master Qian avoided it, but the smile on his face became much more sincere.

"Girl." Aunt Qiao called softly from outside the house, and then she opened the curtain and came in, and asked the girl behind her to refill with fresh tea.

Master Qian avoided it politely, and said, "Miss Xiao, don't worry, you don't need to bear all the expenses for the teacup today, and all the young masters and girls have paid the bills."

"Okay, if there is someone who doesn't pay the bill, it's fine to put it on my account. You can talk to Nanny Shang later, and say that I accepted it." Xiao Mingzhu also followed the excuse made by Master Qian.

Grandma Shang came in, just in time to hear this, and immediately responded: "Miss, don't worry, this old slave will take care of it."

Xiao Mingzhu stayed in the garden for a while and waited until the sun went down. There was no news from Han Yunjun's side, and nothing happened in the teahouses on both sides, and there were no more accidents.

She was a little disappointed, but also a little uneasy, and started back to the house with some dissatisfaction.

After getting into the carriage, Xiao Mingzhu saw birthday gifts from everyone piled on the small table of the carriage. The sunlight suddenly fell on the brocade box that Xiao Dongzi had sent.She angrily threw the brocade box into the corner of the carriage.

Nanny Shang caught the brocade box sensitively, carefully put it aside, and said with a smile, "Girl, at least I should take a look."

"Don't look at it." Xiao Mingzhu turned around and began to fold other people's gifts.

Jiang Lianxin's gift was a box of fragrant powder made by herself, and Ding Wei's gift was a sachet embroidered with cats and butterflies. The gifts were not expensive, but their intentions could be seen.

Inside Jia Haoren's box was a set of Duobaoge jewellery, a complete set of earrings, necklaces, jade bracelets, and three small goldfish-shaped silver coins beside it.Aunt Qiao carefully picked up the jewelry and inspected it. After making sure that there was no special mark on it, she put it away again: "Girl, let's keep it here. I will give it away when I have a chance." Anyway, Jia Shizi is also a foreigner, so This kind of jewelry is inconvenient for girls to wear, let alone collect.
