Xu Chaoqian's four children, except for Xu Rongrong, who was a few years older than his first wife He, the rest were all born in Tojian'er.

Today, Xu Yaoyao is 14 years old, Xu Minmin is 13 years old, and Xu Ming is 12 years old.

They are all young boys and girls who are in their ignorant and lovely age, but these people in the Xu family have their own thoughts.

Today, knowing that Zhuxiang Yayuan was here to carry things from Wutong Courtyard, Xu Yaoyao immediately fell ill and hid in the room to stay out of the incident, just waiting to reap the benefits.

Although Xu Minmin acted like a girl in front of others, after more than half a year of struggle, she had become even more mean and vicious than before.

After she was taken back to her home, Xu Chaoqian planned to sell the village in the suburbs of Beijing and send all the wives and villagers back to their old homes.

But how could she agree? During the more than half a year at Zhuangzi, the women had made things difficult for her. So she lobbied Xu Chaoqian, saying that if these people were sent back to the Xu family's old home, they would have to bear their travel expenses, and they would have to find ways to accommodate them after they returned, so it was better to just sell it.

When Xu Chaoqian heard that he could not only save a fortune in travel expenses, but also make another fortune, he immediately agreed.

Anyway, the mansion has sold many servants during this period. Although Master Zhuangzi's servants were all those who left their hometowns and came to the capital with him at that time, and some were his childhood playmates, the servants are still servants after all.

Just sell it.

So, Xu Minmin effortlessly sold all those who had worked with her on Zhuangzi or treated her well to the bitter cold in the north, never to come back again in her lifetime!

How could her sinister temper allow Xu Rongrong's people to carry things away so smoothly?

So, she jumped off her seat, took the gift list from her father without asking, and praised her:

"I didn't expect that eldest sister would secretly hide so many good things behind our backs."

Aunt Xiao frowned when she heard this: "Third Miss, be careful what you say."

Xu Minmin smiled innocently: "Did I say something wrong? This is obviously a new year's gift from the Hou family to our Xu family years ago. How come it ended up in the eldest sister's private treasury and was taken away as a dowry?"

After saying that, she leaned next to Xu Chaoqian: "Father, tell me, is there such a truth?"

Xu Chaoqian was hugged by her and said nothing.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was acquiescing.

If I had known that if I came to the Xu Mansion today, this would be inevitable. Aunt Xiao sneered and said, "Miss Third, you don't know. Although the Marquis of Weiyuan is married to our Xu Mansion, the Marquis is a first-class military prince after all, and He is the nephew of His Majesty, so no one dares to say anything if he doesn't give us New Year's gifts because of his status. But for the sake of the county master, the Marquis not only treated us with extra courtesy, but also sent two New Year's gifts to us. .”

Having said this, she took out a second gift list and handed it over: "In addition to the annual gift given to the county master in the warehouse, the Marquis also brought one directly to the master. You will not forget it, master." Alright."

Xu Minmin had just returned home, so naturally she didn't know that this happened during the New Year's ceremony. She raised her head and looked at Xu Chaoqian: "Father, is this really happening?"

Xu Chaoqian had some embarrassment on his face, and he glared at Aunt Xiao: "You old man was not in the house at the time, why did you say it as if you saw it with your own eyes!"

Aunt Xiao smiled and said, "It's not because I know the people in our house well, so I'm fully prepared."

This sentence almost slapped Xu Chaoqian in the face.

But thinking that this woman was sent to take charge of Zhuxiang Yayuan by Weiyuan Hou Mu Rong, Xu Chaoqian had to suppress the anger in his heart.

Xu Minmin, on the other hand, looked at the gift list with an ugly expression.

Although it was just a thin list, she could tell at a glance that the items in it were valuable!

She has not forgotten that during the Chinese New Year, she was trapped in Zhuangzi and sent people back home to ask for money, but she was sent away with some scraps of silver! As a result, she was severely ridiculed by those slanderous women in the village!

She wrung the handkerchief in her hands angrily, and turned to see that Manager Xu had brought all the boxes in the Wutong Courtyard with his people.

Her mind came back: there will always be a time to settle accounts for the past, and the key today is to never let Xu Rongrong's people carry away the things.

She looked at Aunt Xiao: "Everything is here, do you want to take inventory?"

Aunt Xiao smiled and nodded: "I am here to do this job for the county. Naturally, I have to be more careful in order to fulfill my mission."

After saying that, she opened the box and started counting them one by one according to the gift list.

Xu Minmin sneered: "Do you really think of our Xu Mansion as a thief?"

Aunt Xiao ignored her and continued working with her head down.

She worked quickly and quickly finished the list. She said with a smile: "I made a mistake in front of the master and the third lady. Since the items on the list are all available, I will carry them away immediately so as not to disturb the two." The quietness of the place.”

"Wait a minute!" Xu Minmin stopped her, "I was thinking about my compatriots, but I didn't expect that the eldest sister would come to settle the account with us with the list! In this case, I wonder if our Xu family should also settle the matter with the eldest sister. What about two?”

Aunt Xiao looked at her, and the smile on her face gradually faded: "How is Third Miss going to settle the matter?"

"My father has raised my eldest sister for so many years. Now that she has climbed up the ladder to marry Marquis Weiyuan, shouldn't she repay the Xu family and her father for their upbringing? The things in these boxes are not what she can do right now. If you use it, why don't you keep it in the house to repay the kindness of raising me?"

Aunt Xiao smiled. Now that Miss Xu San has peeled off this layer of skin, what else is she afraid of?

She put her hands on her hips and said with a sneer: "After all, the third lady just wants to seize the county master's things. It is difficult for you to come up with such a lame excuse in this short time. It can be seen that Mr. Xu was focused on official matters in the past. It seems that the ladies’ upbringing is not excessive at all.”

"Presumptuous!" Xu slapped the table forward.

"This old slave is trying his best to be arrogant. He also wants to clarify for the county master: Master, are you marrying your daughter or selling your daughter?"

"You old guy! What are you saying?" Xu Chao walked forward and blew his beard and glared.

"The third lady keeps saying that we, the county master, should use these boxes to repay your kindness in raising children... I don't know if this kindness of raising children can be converted into gifts? Isn't this a business? If you marry a daughter from someone else's family, your natal family will They all send dowries to their husband's family in the 32th and [-]nd places, in the hope of a grand marriage, but our Xu family is not only not spending a penny on the dowry, but also withholding the married woman's own things. This Speaking of which, I’m afraid the kids in Beijing who wear crotchless pants will laugh out loud!”

"You..." Xu Chaoqian pointed at Aunt Xiao and was about to scold her.

But his mouth is nowhere faster than the mother-in-law's.

Just listen to Aunt Xiao continue to say: "Just now, the third lady said that our county master climbed up to Gao Zhi'er, but who handed over this Gao Zhi'er? That is the current emperor! The emperor sealed the title of Ping'an County Master with a golden and jade-like mouth. Why is Third Miss so upset? The palace gate is right there, why don’t Third Miss also go to His Majesty to ask for a seal?"
