The Major General's Country Wife

The scorching summer passed by quietly, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Yun Changsheng was still lazily at home, he had nothing to worry about, and just watched everyone busy.

After the Duke's Mansion punished the wives in the mansion, it opened its doors to welcome relatives and friends from all walks of life, as well as some people who cling to wealth and power.

Sweeping away the decadence in the past, the former scenery reappeared, and the gift was soft, and Xu Changfeng would bring him back some delicious food, or rare treasures every few days.

Yun Changsheng accepted them all with a smile. They were all gifts from others to the Duke's Mansion.

The only regret is that Xu Changfeng goes to the palace every day to be on duty, and he has to return to the Duke's mansion to handle general affairs and manage various trivial matters.

With Xu Guogong's suppression and support, Xu Changfeng did not hand over the housekeeping power in despair, and continued to manage the empty shell of the country's government.

In addition, they have to prepare for their wedding. Thinking of this, Yun Changsheng smiled comfortably, and finally fulfilled his grandfather's instructions, but what should he do next!

Just as he was thinking, He Xi came to him, "Changsheng, the seafood will be delivered soon, and the shop will open tomorrow, but the restaurant will have to wait, and the decoration is not complete."

"You guys are already very fast, don't rush, come a little bit." Yun Changsheng said with a smile: "This year, Kyoto will be more prosperous. With the addition of our ice shop and fruit shop, the whole of Kyoto can be regarded as a cool summer."

"Yes." He Xi smiled slightly, waved his folding fan again and said, "The business of the Escort Bureau has also improved. With the help of the Major General and his friends, they have now received a lot of business."

"Yeah." Yun Changsheng nodded. Apart from the need to keep their identities secret, they can be said to be separated and work at every step in the capital, and they have already occupied a place.

"Once all kinds of seafood are launched, they are open to everyone. Those high-ranking dignitaries and high-ranking officials no longer enjoy it alone, and there may be a gap in their hearts."

Yun Changsheng said with a smile: "In addition to autumn, the cattle and sheep we transported will come one after another, and the people in the capital will have another enjoyment. The exclusive enjoyment of the rich and powerful will never return."

"We will also make a lot of money, hahaha." He Xi said with a smile: "It's just a short time here, we have made a lot of money from the fruit shop and ice shop, it is really easier to do business than other places .”

"There are a lot of right and wrong." Yun Changsheng said seriously: "The time is short now, and it is estimated that someone will be watching soon. Be careful and don't reveal your cards."

"Don't worry." He Xi said: "In other places, our business is also

It is all separated, and each manages a share without interfering with each other. Even if it is checked, it is a separate business and will not affect others. "

……

At this time, Xu Changfeng was preparing invitations at the Duke's Mansion, "Ningshan, send out the invitations."

"Yes." Ning Shan rolled his eyes and said, "Young General, can you accept a lot of gifts?"

Xu Changfeng glanced at him, saw his wretched face, and said angrily: "This is not always the case for welcoming and sending, and our Duke's Mansion also sends out a lot, it is not normal to accept some."

"That's right, I've collected a lot recently." Ning Shan chuckled inwardly.

Xu Changfeng ignored him, he could clearly see the little trick below, as long as it was not specially given to a designated person, Ning Shan led people to intercept it.

The things are all kept here by him now, and no one else will touch them at all. Xu Changfeng has no choice but to turn a blind eye and let them do whatever they want.

Walking around the mansion, he saw that he was about to leave if there was nothing to do, but before he reached the gate, he was stopped by someone, "Young General, Da Furen is here to invite you."

"En." Xu Changfeng turned around calmly. Recently, the mansion has been welcoming people to and from the house. The heat has just subsided for a few days, so my mother probably can't wait any longer.

"Mother." Xu Changfeng came to Qian's courtyard and saluted.

"Brother." The two younger sisters were also there, saluting and saying hello to him.

"En." Xu Changfeng just nodded, without any extra words, and waited quietly for Qian's speech.

"How is the dowry prepared?" Qian's face was still a little haggard, but her momentum was stronger than before, and she seemed to be breaking the boat.

"What dowry?" Xu Changfeng asked pretending to be puzzled.

"Presumptuous." Qian slammed the table and said angrily, "Your sister will get married in a few months, are you not prepared?"

"Which family buys the dowry and has the elder brother do it for you?" Xu Changfeng said calmly, "It's the mother's job."

"You?" Qian Shi choked, and couldn't hold back his pretentious posture, but said forcefully: "You are the housekeeper now, so naturally you will take care of it."

"Oh." Xu Changfeng said: "My son has to be busy with official duties and marriage affairs, and there are a lot of common affairs in the house, so I really can't help, so I can only trouble my mother to handle it by herself."

"Where's the silver?" Qian said.

Qian Shi didn't care about Xu Changfeng's marriage, but she wanted to keep the housekeeping power and money in her hands. After all, she was the wife of the eldest son.

Xu Guogong and her own husband were displeased by being punished some time ago, she couldn't make a noise to snatch it, and then she began to receive relatives and friends who came to congratulate her, and some little friends who climbed up

mansion.

I haven't lost time all the time, now that I have taken care of my health, I have to start the matter of my daughter's dowry.

Xu Changfeng was silent for a moment, and said: "I don't have any money, if I have money, it's not my turn to be the housekeeper."

There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were dark and quiet without any emotion, and he said: "Mother has to worry about my sister's dowry, so I can take care of other things without worrying about it."

Just when Qian Shi was about to open his mouth, he said again: "As for the money, my mother will go to my grandfather and father. After all, no one gave me the money for the dowry."

"You housekeeper, how can you ignore this matter?" Qian's face was ugly, and his words were full of resentment.

"Take care of an errand without money, what should I do?" Xu Changfeng said.

"Aren't you holding the keys to the storeroom and the shops?" Qian mentioned these, his eyes flickering with calculations, "If you don't buy your sister's dowry sooner, the second wife will come to you in a few days. "

"What's the use of anyone looking for me." Xu Changfeng smiled bitterly: "If you don't look for the person you should look for, what can you come up with if you look for me, an empty-handed person?"

"You think of a way." Qian thought it was hard to do, but wanted to be soft, "You brothers and sisters are one body, and if outsiders see jokes, your face will not look good."

"Your grandfather doesn't care about this matter, and your natal family." Qian Shi said: "Everyone contributes a little, and you can always buy a decent dowry for your sister."

"Brother, I will never forget my family." Xu Jingyi kept her head down and did not make a sound, but at this moment she suddenly raised her head and said, "No matter what grandfather says or does, I am from the Xu family."

"Hmph." Xu Changfeng sneered in his heart, he had already been cheated by this sister once, how could he be fooled again, "Don't worry about your family, after you get married, keep your duty and serve the second prince and concubine well."

"Uh." Xu Jingyi was confused, knowing that Xu Changfeng meant that her side concubine was a concubine's room, and said with grievance in her eyes: "The emperor's order is hard to break, so what can my sister do."

She said with tears streaming down her face, her delicate face was full of sorrow, and she said: "I don't want to either, but disobeying the emperor's order will bring disaster to the house, and I can't just watch my mother accept the family law, I can only bear it all by myself." .”

She was crying pear blossoms with rain, Xu Changfeng was unmoved, looked away and said: "Since this is the case, why do you need so much dowry, the Prince's House can still wrong you."

"Brother." Xu Jingyi didn't expect that Xu Changfeng would still be ignorant of her feelings when she was so obedient, "The prince's mansion is not so easy to live in. If there is nothing to hang around, how can it be safe?"

She squeezed the handkerchief tightly to cover her pale fingers, and said sadly: "Big brother just watched my sister don't have much dowry and was ridiculed by everyone, making the second prince and concubine look down on him?"

"Yes." Qian Shi persuaded at the right time: "You should take care of your sister anyway, she will definitely think of you in the future."

"The second prince is from the middle palace, and he will definitely be the crown prince in the future." When Qian said this, she had a complacent expression on her face, "You all want to benefit from it, and you must do what you have to do now, and you can't just point to your sister's glory , I can’t do anything on my own.”

"It seems that mother still doesn't remember the ancestor's instruction." Xu Changfeng said coldly.

As a son of man, he couldn't say anything about being punished and kneeling in the ancestral hall in vain, but he was really tired of facing his mother's stubbornness and unrepentance.

"The Xu family is not allowed to participate in royal affairs, no matter how prosperous the scene is, they will not be able to enjoy it." Xu Changfeng got up and said no more, "My son resigns."

"Wait." Qian grabbed him, "You have no money, but you have the key to the warehouse."

With longing in her eyes, she said: "Take out some things, sell them for some silver, and take out some treasures to add to your sister's dowry. No one will know."

"I'll tell the outside world that it's your natal family's subsidy." Mrs. Qian held onto Xu Changfeng's sleeve tightly, "Even if your grandfather knew, he wouldn't dare to go to the second prince's mansion to ask for it, and he wouldn't even publicize it to embarrass him. "

"What about me?" Xu Changfeng's face was obscured, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, "How should my grandfather treat me and punish me? It's just that I have nothing, my face, and my reputation. Do you have any consideration?"

Without waiting for Qian's answer, Xu Changfeng said again: "You have not only one daughter, but also other children. You have thought about them."

Xu Changfeng looked at Xu Jingyi, who was weeping silently, and said, "Or does mother want to follow my sister into the Second Prince's Mansion to enjoy the glory and wealth, away from the Duke's Mansion and these children?"

"What did you say?" Qian Shi became furious and said, "I am the mother who gave birth to you and raised you, how could you say such things to me."

"It's the mother's actions that make people incomprehensible." Xu Changfeng turned his wrist cleverly, breaking away from Qian's pull, and said, "I want to steal all the things from the Duke's mansion's warehouse and add them all to the prince's mansion, and my son thinks that mother has found a place to retire. .”

Xu Changfeng lost his patience, and couldn't help being furious with his calm temper. He knew that his mother and sister would call him attention, but he didn't expect to instruct him to steal the warehouse.

"The side concubine should follow the rules of the side concubine, don't wishful thinking that it doesn't belong to you

s things. "Xu Changfeng glanced at his sister, and said, "Where do you want to set up the Duke's mansion, and fight with the prince and concubine?" "

Xu Changfeng walked away in a huff, leaving behind Qian Shi with a livid face, and Xu Jingyi who was full of resentment. Even if these people were not enemies in the future, they would no longer be his relatives.

"Mother." Xu Jingyi looked at Xu Changfeng's back coldly, and called out to Qian Shi, "Go to grandpa and father. No matter what, I'm still married into the royal family. They don't care about everything, so what's the use of the royal family's face?"

There is a sneer on the corner of her lips, no one can stop her, if she wants to marry into a small family and look up to others, I, Xu Jingyi, am willing to be a concubine.
