Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy
Chapter 155 South Lake
Xu Yixing glanced through it and found that it was not much different from what his father showed him last time, so he sent it over along with the shop title deed and the land deed.
From today on, these things officially belonged to her. In addition to the cash, the cash would be taken away with her when she got married. Now she just wanted to familiarize herself with the store in advance.
"You mean, Gu sent an accountant to help me manage the store?" Xu Yixing almost burst out laughing when he heard Si Hua's report. This Gu was too smart. She hadn't even gotten married yet, but she was thinking about interfering in her affairs in the future.
"Yes, Madam said that the young lady didn't have a close wet nurse or someone who knew how to manage a shop, so she was worried and specially transferred a gentleman from her side to serve the young lady."
Si Hua also felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that the lady did not mean well, but he did not refuse.
"It's not because of her that I don't have a nanny. Xu Yiwen has two nannies, but I don't have any. I don't know who to blame, hum!"
"Then Miss, you have to think of a reason to refuse her, otherwise Madam will definitely secretly make profits from our shop."
"No need. If she wants to insert someone else, let her do it. I just happen to be in need of someone to help me sort out the account books first."
Xu Yixing had already figured it out. It would only take a month to settle the accounts of these ten or so shops. Besides, some of them were given to him by his father in the past. Nanny Bai had already checked the accounts with him. If there were any problems, he would be able to find them immediately.
As soon as I marry into the prince's mansion, I will immediately say that I will hand over the shop to Lu Anyuan's people to manage it, and see what Gu can say. This month's free accountant is a waste if you don't use it!
Thinking of this, Xu Yixing was not annoyed. Instead, he politely received the accountant recommended by Gu. He acted as if he knew nothing the whole time and asked him to help figure out the situation first.
The days passed slowly, but in the blink of an eye it was already September. The wind gradually brought a hint of coolness. Although the summer heat was not over yet, at least I was no longer sweating profusely.
Si Wu's money was eventually recovered by Xu Yixing. She placed all the money with a distant nephew, but unfortunately, she had entrusted the money to the wrong person. When the nephew heard that she was in trouble, he immediately took the money and ran away.
When the Shadow Guards investigated, they only recovered three thousand taels.
The only thing that made Xu Yixing happy was that Gao Yao was found. She bought a small courtyard for her parents and their family 20 miles outside of Kyoto, which was both a protection and a confinement, so that Gao Yao could work for her with peace of mind.
Father Xu had already agreed to celebrate her birthday on September 5th, and let her choose the location. It was not until Gao Yao came back that she finally felt relieved.
"Siqin, go tell dad that I want to go to Nanhu to celebrate my birthday on the 5th."
"Why is it that ghost place?" Siqin shook her head in confusion. Nanhu is indeed a lake, but the lake is mostly filled with brothels and singing boats. It is not really a good place for a family gathering.
"I thought it would be great if our family could charter a small pleasure boat and go boating on the lake together, and listen to music on other boats."
"Well, I'll go and tell him, but the master may not agree."
Xu Yixing smiled and fixed his hair. Dad was also a romantic man when he was young, otherwise he would not have married again and again. It was Gu who had the ability to pull Dad back from the brothel. I don't know what magic she has.
The reason why I chose the boat tour was actually inspired by Wu Xueyan.
She said at the beginning that she could achieve flying-like movements with the help of some small auxiliary tools, and Xu Yixing should learn from her.
However, what she wanted her father to see was not some fairy concubine, but her mother's "ghost". When her father was drunk, and with the stimulation of the drug and Gao Yao's superb imitation ability, she was not afraid that her father would say something.
On September 5, the Xu family happily prepared for the evening boat trip. In Yi Yan's memory, such a scene was rare. Although he had celebrated birthdays before, it was just a simple longevity noodle. And after Liu's death, Yi Yan didn't celebrate his birthday much.
For Gu, this banquet was just a daily entertainment. Since it was not held at home, she didn't need to worry about it.
For Yi Wen, this was the only time he could go out openly after being confined for many days, and he had already started matching his clothes the day before;
For Old Man Xu, this birthday meant the last birthday his daughter would spend at home. It was also the prelude to his family finally welcoming the status of a royal relative, so he was actually quite happy.
If Xu Yixing hadn't stopped him, Dad would have really planned to hold a big party and invite all the relatives and friends to show off.
Dad naturally also had to invite Lu Anyuan and Madam Jing, but he had been warned by Xu Yixing in advance, so he dragged his aunt along and did not dare to come, which made Dad very distressed.
However, when the old man looked at the gifts sent by the Seventh Prince, he forgot all his worries and kept giving a thumbs up: "My dear son-in-law, my dear son-in-law!"
At about dusk, Xu Yixing and his family boarded the pleasure boat affectionately, not minding the not-so-nice weather at all.
"Dad, mother, brother, everyone is here to celebrate my birthday today. I am really happy. I would like to offer a toast to everyone. I wish you all long-lasting happiness and a bright future for my brother!"
After giving a seemingly sincere toast, Xu Yixing drank the wine in his hand.
There was something to do today, so she had already instructed Siqin and the others in advance. The wine for herself was all plain water, while Yingwu was responsible for preparing the wine for Dad and Gu, and adding a little bit of something into it.
"Okay! Yan'er, after you turn sixteen you will be seventeen years old, and you will be a big kid. You must know how to protect yourself and also know how to protect our Xu family!"
Old Man Xu spoke in a high and excited voice. In his opinion, Yiwen was the only son of the Xu family and would naturally inherit the family business in the future. Unfortunately, he was too mediocre. If he had a relative like the prince, it would be much easier for him to make progress in the future.
"Yes, I will never forget the kindness of my parents in raising me."
Seeing the master so happy, Gu was also willing to say a few good words: "Yan'er, you are married to the Seventh Prince, so you are a member of the royal family. You must know the respect and inferiority, and never dare to offend the noble man."
"Yes, I will remember your mother's teachings."
"Sister, there's nothing much to say. I wish you happiness and longevity!"
Xu Yixing liked Xu Yiwen's words the most. He was the one who knew most of his secrets and helped him the most. Xu Yixing didn't ask for anything, but just hoped that Chang'an could be happy as he said.
"Thank you, brother. You should also work hard to find a sister-in-law~"
