The weather is sunny and the house is brightly lit.

Meng Jinyao was busy with her needlework with an expression on her face. After a while, she vaguely felt that there was someone else beside her. When she raised her head, she saw a man in scarlet clothes standing next to her. Her eyes lit up instantly, and her voice With a smile: "Husband is back?"

Gu Jingxi nodded: "Just let the embroiderer do these things, don't be tired."

Meng Jinyao shook her head: "It doesn't matter, I just have nothing to do and find something to do to pass the time." After that, she put down her work for the time being and pointed to the snacks on the small coffee table next to her, "This is for you The jujube paste cake I sent someone to buy in the morning is from Yipinzhai. Try it. I heard that the dim sum master's wife passed away. The dim sum he makes now is not as sweet as before, but it tastes good and has a unique flavor. "

Gu Jingxi looked confused when he heard this: "Ayao, did you remember it wrong? When did I have someone buy it in the morning?"

Meng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That was probably what you ordered before. When you came back, you didn't tell your servants that you didn't need to buy any more. However, the people below still maintained their previous habit of buying snacks every two days."

Gu Jingxi was very confused. He had never ordered his servants to do this, so he asked again: "Ayao, are you sure it was me who ordered you?"

"Are you still pretending to be stupid with me?"

Meng Jinyao glared at him, and then said: "After you left Beijing, you were worried that I would not have enough food and clothing to keep warm. You had arranged my food and clothing expenses for me. I asked all the questions, and it was you who gave them to me. It was arranged. Look at the clothes I wear and the jewelry I wear, but you asked the shopkeepers from Jinxiufang and Jinyu Pavilion to come to your door and let me choose the style and make it custom-made."

After Gu Jingxi heard this, he understood. He had written a letter asking his mother to help take care of Ayao. It must have been done in his name, so Ayao thought it was him who arranged it. Then he asked again: "Ayao, what are you doing?" Tell me, what have you arranged these days?"

Meng Jinyao thought he was afraid that the people below him would not pay attention, so she told him everything in detail.

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi felt a little bit strange. His mother raised A-Yao much more carefully than he did. She was even as meticulous as the empress in the palace. His husband was not as good as his mother-in-law. Well done, suddenly a little frustrated.

At the same time, he also understood what his mother meant by giving him a 10,000-tael banknote today. This money was not given to him at all, but to A-Yao through him. He was afraid that he would not be able to support A-Yao, so she specially subsidized his maintenance. Wife's.

He has private property, but his mother doesn't know exactly how much private property he has. It seems that he has to find a time to reveal it to his mother. He can't let his mother think that he can't support his daughter-in-law and give him money to support her.

Seeing that he was silent, Meng Jinyao thought he was blaming his subordinates for not doing a good job, and said softly: "Husband, they did a good job. They were very conscientious in their duties. I am also very satisfied. You have to reward them."

The old mother gave him all the credit, but Gu Jingxi didn't want to take the credit from the old mother. He sat down next to her and said warmly: "Ayao, I just wrote to my mother to ask her to take care of you for me. I didn't make any arrangements. These things are all arranged by my mother."

Meng Jinyao's eyes suddenly widened in shock: "Husband, you, you said this was arranged by your mother?"

Gu Jingxi nodded lightly: "To be precise, my mother arranged it for you in my name. I didn't know about it before just now. I didn't know until you told me." He took out ten more cards from his sleeve. A thousand taels of banknotes were handed to Meng Jinyao, "My mother gave this to us not long ago."

After hearing her husband's words, Meng Jinyao's eyes fell on the banknote in her husband's hand, and she was deeply shocked. Although her mother-in-law was usually very good to her, she was still flattered. During the days when her husband was away from the capital, her mother-in-law turned out to be meticulous and meticulous. He arranged everything for her according to her preferences.

But she thought it was arranged by her husband, so she was not restrained in spending money. It turned out that it was arranged by her mother-in-law. No wonder when she put on new clothes, her mother-in-law always looked at her with a satisfied and appreciative look. She even complimented her on how good-looking she was. Now she understood that her mother-in-law was satisfied with her results.

However, she has spent a lot of money on her mother-in-law these days.

She slowly raised her head to look at Gu Jingxi and said calmly, "Husband, I've been a bit of a loser recently."

Gu Jingxi touched her head to comfort her, and said warmly: "It doesn't matter, my mother has money and is very well-off. The money you spent is nothing to her." As he said that, he took out the banknotes in his hand. Putting it into Meng Jinyao's hand, "This is what mother gave you. Take it and buy whatever you want. No need to save."

Meng Jinyao lowered her eyes and looked at the banknotes in her hand. Although she couldn't count how many there were, at first glance, she felt that there were tens of thousands of taels. Although the banknotes were light, they felt heavy in her hand. She was very puzzled: "Why did mother suddenly suddenly Give us so much money?"

Gu Jingxi smiled and said: "Maybe he thinks that your husband is too poor and will treat you and the children badly, so he specially subsidizes us. This is mother's wish, so let's just keep it. Thanks to Ayao, I have grown so big. This is the first time I have received a subsidy from my mother. I never received one tael of silver before, but now I have received 10,000 taels."

Meng Jinyao said "Huh?" in astonishment. She didn't react for a while and asked nonchalantly: "My husband is poor?"

Gu Jingxi smiled and said, "You can understand that when it's cold, even though you're not cold, your mother thinks you're cold, so she has to wear two more layers for you."

Meng Jinyao instantly understood that they were obviously not poor, but her mother felt that they were poor and had to subsidize them. She was moved in her heart. She had never felt such heavy maternal love before. Let alone Mrs. Sun, who was not her mother. Meng Dongyuan was her biological father. He gave her almost nothing, but he still thought she asked for too much.

Her eyes were a little hot. She looked at the banknote in her hand and said softly: "I know mother loves us, but we are so old. I have a dowry, you have private property, and you still receive subsidies from your elders. Isn't it bad?"

Gu Jingxi said softly: "It's okay, just keep it. Let's keep it. Mother can rest assured and don't have to feel embarrassed. Mother loves us. Let's just repay her by being more filial to her in the future."

Meng Jinyao thought for a while and felt that he was right. She put down the banknote first, then picked up her needlework again and pursed her lips: "Look, this is the dress I made for my mother. It's ready to be finished. I will send it to my mother tomorrow to honor her. My mother likes the clothes I made. She wears my clothes when she goes out and says that my embroidery work is better than the embroiderer's."

Hearing this, Gu Jingxi thought of his old mother's words. No wonder some older sisters were envious of him. Every time his mother went out, she would wear clothes made by Ayao to show off to them.
