Qi Yunxiao glanced at Qi Yunheng contemptuously: "What's the matter? If you treat them to a few more banquets at Guiyunlou, can you ask them to give you a good position in the yamen?"

Qi Yunheng was choked: "Brother, what are you talking about!"

If there is a network, how can the good positions in the various ministries be transferred to other people?
Others are not enough for themselves.

"That is, if you have a few more drinks with them, your knowledge will be greatly improved, and you will be admitted to the Jinshi? The second place?"

Qi Yunheng: "..."

Qi Yunxiao looked at Qing Pinghou: "So father knows that the money in the family is only enough to feed the whole family, but still allows the second brother and the others to go out and drink with others?"

"As for the second brother's money for drinking, everyone will pay from me by default? From my mother's dowry?"

These words were too embarrassing, and everyone couldn't answer.

Qing Pinghou clapped his chopsticks: "Could it be that if you can afford a big house in Xinghua Lane, your parents will starve to death?"

Qi Yunxiao smiled: "The big house in Xinghua Lane belongs to my wife, and I haven't paid a single coin."

"I forgot to mention, my wife can make money now. She puts her face down, makes stewed pork, grows bean sprouts... and feeds three children by herself!"

"Madam is so noble and dignified, it is not difficult to make money."

Mrs. Qing Pinghou's face froze: "These...how can I know these things?"

"That's right, women in the country know that they can support their families with their own hands, but the noble ladies in the capital don't touch the spring water with their fingers, and have to rely on the dowry of the deceased former Mrs. Qingpinghou to support their families..."

This is so disturbing.

There were tears in Madam Qingpinghou's eyes.

It is angry and ashamed.

"Crack!" There was a crisp sound.

The Marquis of Qingping threw a bowl: "The wings are so hard! Even my parents dare to look down on me! I'm going to face the saint, and I beg His Majesty to deprive you of the position of the eldest son! Such an unfilial son is not worthy of inheriting the title of Marquis of Qingping!"

Qi Yunxiao chuckled, pulled Shen Qingyu and the two children away.

When he reached the entrance of the hall, he waved his hand back: "Go! Go and file a complaint!"

Seeing Qi Yunxiao's family walk away, Qing Pinghou was so angry that his beard trembled!

"This is an unfilial son! This is an unfilial son!"

Madam Qingping Hou burst into tears: "Master Hou, what will happen to the family when he leaves?"

Qing Ping Hou glared at Mrs. Qing Ping Hou: "What should I do? Don't you still have two shops? You don't make any money at all?"

"What kind of money do you earn? How can the income of a few hundred taels of silver a year be enough for such a large family?"

"Then how do you take care of this middle gift? If you don't have enough money, you shouldn't buy this season's clothes and jewelry at home!"

"There are a few of you, study hard at home! What are you running out all day?"

Qing Pinghou's eyes of accusation finally fell on Qi Yunheng.

Seeing that Qing Ping Hou got up and was about to leave, and actually threw this big stall directly to herself, Mrs. Qing Ping Hou was anxious: "What about those things?"

"What should I do? There is a Zhuangzi in the outskirts of Beijing, and there is not much money left. If it doesn't work, let's sell it!" Qing Pinghou seemed to say casually, and had already walked away.

Mrs. Qing Pinghou was stunned, only feeling a chill rising from her heart.

Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing was bought with the money raised from the dowry proceeds when Mrs. Qing Pinghou was still in charge of Qi Yunxiao's mother's dowry.

Although the Zhuangzi did not earn much, he had a rare hot spring. In autumn and winter, it was a very honorable thing to invite the wives and ladies of the aristocratic family to soak in the hot spring.

For this reason, Mrs. Qing Pinghou still secretly sighed for her cleverness back then.

Even the Marquis of Qing Ping would often take his colleagues there. At that time, he should have said that his village had bought well, but now he wanted to sell it...

But besides this road, what else can we do?
Mrs. Qing Pinghou asked the steward to discuss the matter of selling Zhuangzi with a sad face.

Qi Yunheng and other juniors were also worried.

What Qi Yunheng worries about is communication.

Those who often play together have been invited several times, saying that they are going on an outing to eat wine.

He has already had a few meals from others, it's time to invite him back, he has no money in his pocket, where would he dare to go?
The daughters-in-law are worried about clothes and jewelry.

The noble ladies of other people's family have bought several summer clothes for this season, but they are still wearing last year's old clothes...

Not to mention jewelry, it's just old styles that come and go.

The concubine and the concubine looked at each other, as quiet as a chicken.

They can't get them to meet passengers, and they can't get their clothes and jewelry. They worry about food.

Before today, it's been a long time since I saw Hun Xing...

After they dispersed, Qi Yunxiao took Shen Qingyu and the children back to Xinghua Lane.

Shen Qingyu couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart: "Have you been raising them all these years?"

Qi Yunxiao sneered: "In the beginning, it was my mother's dowry, and later, it was me."

Qi Yunxiao talked about what happened back then.

Back then Qi Yunxiao lost his mother when he was young, and soon Qing Pinghou married his step-wife.

The stepmother was born as a concubine, so naturally she wouldn't have much dowry, but because of the good face, the family spent a lot of money.

Fortunately, Qi Yunxiao's mother's family has a profound background, and the dowry can be said to be rich, and it has been supported in the past few years.

The reason why the stepmother didn't dare to be too presumptuous was also because of the queen at that time and the queen mother now.

The queen at that time felt sorry for the only son born to this girl, but because of her dark forehead, she couldn't enter the court as an official.

Therefore, the queen asked questions from time to time, and was admitted to the palace many times when she was a child to live in the palace for a month or two.

As she got older, the queen made the decision and took back Qi Yunxiaoniang's dowry, but she also tacitly allowed the Qingping Houfu to benefit from the dowry proceeds.

But what Qi Yunxiao was angry with was: the Qingping Hou Mansion will cost more and more every year.

And the money is not being used properly.

It was all spent paving the way for Qi Yunheng, socializing with the son of the aristocratic family, buying all kinds of jewelry and clothing, and saving face!

This year their appetite has grown to 1 taels a year!

If it was in the past, maybe he would have given it while pinching his nose.

But ever since Qi Yunxiao returned to Shenjia Village and saw the miserable life of Shen Qingyu and the three children, he thought about who caused all this...

Do not give!

I don't even want to give a copper plate!
Qi Yunxiao sneered: "She thought that by plotting you against me, she would cut off my chance to make a comeback by marriage, and she was even more determined to make money for them, but she never thought that she would eat her back."

"My wife and children live like that, why should they eat and drink spicy food?"

"In the future, they should live a life of frugality!"

Shen Qingyu: "..."

Dare he still avenge himself?
"Then should I thank you?"

Qi Yunxiao suffocated: "That's not necessary... I was the one who was asshole."

Shen Qingyu chuckled lightly: "It's rare for you to reflect on yourself like this."

Qi Yunxiao was caught off guard by the praise, and was stunned for a moment!

The young man looked at Shen Qingyu with scorching eyes, and the words came to his lips: "I am willing to reflect and make amends, can I not make peace?"
