71. Chapter 71
She felt a little unpleasant. If their husband and wife were closer in the past life, would she have more trust in him, would she have less regrets?
She sighed lowly, held his generous palm lightly, and said softly, "No need, it's fine now, there are elder sister-in-law and three younger siblings in the house, I just need to take care of our happiness. Ning Yuan and Brother Lin will be fine."
Wei Junhang turned his palms over and held hers, his brows still furrowed: "You don't have to worry about me, I have a way to get my mother to agree."
Although the mother must have been quite unhappy at first, it was not impossible for him to convince her.
Shen Xinyan shook her head: "You don't have to do this, I said you don't need it, you really don't need it. Now it's the most appropriate arrangement for the three houses to manage everything in the mansion, and I believe my mother thinks the same way, so why bother to provoke her old man about this matter. angry."
"Besides..." She smiled slightly and gave him an angry look, "Now I have to take care of everything in our family. Although Brother Lin has reduced a lot of things after entering the palace, the girl Ying'er has become more and more difficult to manage. There is also Yunfu, now he has to study with Mr. Lu, and also learn martial arts with Master Wu, and it is inevitable to manage everywhere."
"In addition, after a while, I want to re-organize my dowry shop, and Sister Xu can't completely let go."
"Everything here and there has made me very busy. If I feed it in the palm of my hand again, I'm afraid I won't even have time to breathe in the future."
Compared to her at this time in her previous life, she has a lot more things to manage and responsibilities in this life. Although it was a lot of work, the whole person felt quite fulfilled.
At least, she will no longer cast all her eyes on one person.
Wei Junhang thought about it and thought it made sense.
In case the lady is exhausted, isn't it yourself who will be distressed at that time?
"However, China Feeder is the mistress of a mansion after all..." Thinking of the rumors outside, he was still a little hesitant.
Shen Xinyan knew what he was worried about just by hearing it, a little funny, but a little moved.
"Why should you take what those long-tongued women say outside? We know what is good or bad for ourselves. Is it good that we have to show it to outsiders?"
"Besides..." She narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with a half-smile, "Everyone said that I married an incompetent dude, is that really the case?"
Wei Junhang didn't expect that she would actually turn the talk on himself after going around in circles, he laughed dryly, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look at her.
Shen Xinyan shook her head helplessly, glared at him angrily, but said nothing.
Wei Junhang carefully looked at her face and found no signs of anger, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly thinking that she had just mentioned that her daughter was becoming more and more difficult to manage, she couldn't help but tell the difference: "Ying'er couldn't be more obedient, especially after Zi Yunfu came here, she didn't pick up her tongue very much when she was eating, she was studying and writing, and she was red with needles. It's not like studying diligently."
Shen Xinyan said with a stern face: "Why is it not difficult to manage? You don't think about how many times she has made troubles in less than a month? A good girl's family, Zhenjing Xianya didn't learn half a point, but noisy fights are from Donβt fall behind, if such impulsive temperament is no longer restrained, you will get it in the future!β
Seeing that her face was not good-looking, Wei Junhang didn't dare to say any more, touched his nose and shrank back.
"Now at home, everyone is letting her let her go, and she has no scruples. If she is married in the future, who will spoil her unconditionally? Isn't she herself the one who suffers? "
"She's still young, why did she think of getting married in the future..." Wei Junhang retorted in a low voice.
"Could it be that you still want to keep her at home as an old girl for the rest of your life?" Shen Xinyan said angrily.
"That's not true. When my parents die in old age, my brother will always have someone else important to him. Keep her in the mansion for the rest of his life. Isn't she the only one who suffers in the future!" Wei Junhang said sternly.
Shen Xinyan was stunned, and then looking at his serious appearance, she somehow remembered the words of the father and son of the Zhou family in the previous life - "It doesn't matter if my daughter/sister is not married, I will support her for the rest of my life. !"
She lowered her eyes, and after a while, pretended to be relaxed: "It's just a joke, it doesn't matter if you want to keep her for the rest of your life, maybe the little girl will like Daddy even more when she hears it!"
Wei Junhang frowned: "I know it's impossible, so what does it do? It's just that in the future, Ying'er's husband will have to choose carefully. He has to choose someone who can tolerate and care for her, and has a clean home..."
Listening to him seriously reciting the basic requirements for his future son-in-law, Shen Xinyan finally couldn't help laughing: "You just said 'she is still young, why do you think about getting married in the future', now it's yourself It's getting serious, are you thinking about your future son-in-law in your heart early in the morning?"
Wei Junhang was stunned for a while, then he smiled helplessly: "No, I'm really confused!"
After signing the contract, the partnership with Xu Sumin has become a foregone conclusion, and Shen Xinyan put the matter aside for the time being and began to rectify the shops under her own name.
After the incident with the money shopkeeper last time, she changed the rules, requiring the shopkeepers of each shop to pay monthly income instead of quarterly.
She figured it out, after this change, the silver taels collected were much more than before. Of course, she did not give up her plan to search for candidates again.
And since Xu Sumin came back, she found that Wei Junhang had resumed his earlier state of leaving early and returning late, making it difficult to see people. just asked Mingshuang, but he said that the prince would come back every night, just because it was getting late, it was inconvenient to disturb the lady to rest, so he had been resting in the study.
Knowing that he was not staying outside, she felt a little relieved. It's just that Xiao Yingzhi didn't see her father's figure for several days in a row, and she would ask questions from time to time, so Shen Xinyan found a reason to coax her over at will.
Today is the day when Wei Chenglin enters the palace. Shen Xinyan, who should be in charge, has already taken care of it, and the British prince and the eldest princess who should be warned have also warned a lot. Therefore, when Wei Chenglin came to resign her early in the morning, she only warned her a few words such as Be cautious, etc.
Wei Chenglin waited for a long time and saw nothing, his lips pursed, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Is that just a few words?
Thinking that when Yunfu was going to study with Mr. Lu for the first time, his mother pulled him to instruct him worriedly, and carefully arranged his clothes for him, for fear that his clothes would be inappropriate and would be disrespectful to others.
Now it's your turn, is it just a few simple exhortations?
"Come on! It's getting late, if it's too late, it will be bad." Seeing him standing still, Shen Xinyan was a little puzzled and urged.
"...Okay, the baby is gone." He concealed his disappointment and said goodbye.
After walking a distance, he stopped and turned around, staring blankly at the main room not far behind him, seeing Yunfu holding his sister's hand and happily walking into the room, but after a while, his mother's laughter could be heard in the room Voice.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart, and also a little unspeakable sadness.
What's even more strange is a sense of loss in the bottom of my heart.
"Eldest son, it's time to set off!" Seeing that he was standing still, the servant on the side couldn't help but urged in a low voice.
"Let's go!" Finally, he shook his head to throw this feeling away, turned around, and strode away.
He is not a child like Yunfu and his sister. He is tired of being by his mother's side all day long. He has grown up...
"Madam, Your Highness invites Madam over." After Yunfu and Xiaoyingzhi left one after another, a servant from the eldest princess came to invite her. Shen Xinyan said, 'I'll go here', put down the account book in her hand and ordered Qiutang Keep it.
"Do you know what mother wants to tell me?" she asked casually on the way.
"The eldest madam returned the key and account book to Her Highness yesterday..." The maid who led the way replied with a slight smile.
Shen Xinyan immediately understood.
seeβ¦β¦
On that day, Mrs. Fang promised to return the keys and account book to the eldest princess after a few days. The wait was a few days. During this period, Mrs. Yang came to look for her more than once, but to unite with her to put pressure on Mrs. Fang. , forcing Mr. Fang to hand over the keys and account books as soon as possible.
It's just that every time she finds a reason to get rid of it.
This kind of thing that she knows will annoy the eldest princess, she is crazy to do it. As for what kind of account book Fang Shi will hand over at that time, that is not something she should care about.
Fang has been in charge of the middle feeder for many years, and she has always regarded the things in the public as her eldest house, so there is no need to think about it at all. There will definitely be problems with the account of the public.
But looking at the eldest princess looking after the long room, it is estimated that even if she knows, she will only turn a blind eye.
When Mr. Yang saw her pretending to be deaf and dumb, he was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do about her.
As a result, the matter of handing over the keys and account books has been delayed again and again, and finally it has been delayed until today.
When Shen Xinyan arrived, Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Yang were already there, and they just greeted each other when they saw her coming.
"Sister-in-law is really meticulous and thoughtful in her work. It took so long to sort out. I must have arranged everything properly, right?"
Fang shi glanced at her, but she didn't say a word, she was completely ignoring her, and seeing Yang shi could only scratch her face.
To make you proud, I want to see, if the eldest princess finds out that you are short of money, see if you can still be mad!
Shen Xinyan found a seat and sat down. Looking at Fang's calm appearance, she guessed that she really made up the shortfall? Or is she pretty sure she can make the fake account flawless?
"It's all here? I'll assign the errands in each room!" The eldest princess walked out of the room with the help of the maid, took a seat on the soft couch at the top, glanced at the three concubines, and said straight to the point. .
"Mother, don't you need to check this account?" Seeing that she didn't even mention the account book, Yang was a little anxious.
"I have already ordered someone to investigate, why, do you have any other opinions?" The eldest princess looked at her with a cold face, but her eyes were quite sharp.
Yang shi has always been a little afraid of her, and when she saw her eyes, she couldn't help shivering, and she couldn't say a word.
Shen Xinyan immediately realized.
It seems that the eldest princess is well aware of it, but she intends to gently reveal it.
This was also what she expected, so it was not too surprising.
The eldest princess has been paying attention to her. Seeing her expression indifferent, she only said, "But listen to my mother's arrangement."
