Chapter 84: Fighting with my aunt
  After such a chat,

The atmosphere in the hall was very warm.
  Probably only Sheng Hong felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to show it.

He also kept chatting with me!

Noon,
  Lunch was arranged at Shou'an Hall.

Xu Wenhui also looked at Minglan’s younger brother Sheng Changdong.

A very clever little boy,
  Her personality is a bit like Minglan’s when she was little, lively and active!

Xu Wenhui was a little relieved when he saw this. He had not made a wrong choice at the time, and he had saved a small life!

Minglan's craftsmanship is indeed good, she is better than her master.

Xu Wenhui's food was also very delicious. During the dinner, he praised Minglan and Rulan who also contributed a lot.

after eating,

Everyone else took their leave,

Xu Wenhui was left to chat with Mrs. Sheng.
  No more outsiders,
  Xu Wenhui no longer had any scruples, picked up the prepared account book from his sleeve, took two steps forward and handed it to Mrs. Sheng.
  "Auntie, please look!"

Seeing that the old lady was puzzled, she explained:

"Auntie, this is a breakdown of the income from the fields and shops that you gave to your grandnephew.

Part of it was used to train and reward the promising Xu clan members, and part of it was used to subsidize the orphaned and poor Xu clan members.
  The remaining grandchildren are also stored separately! You old man, please take a look! "

When she was in Yangzhou, Mrs. Sheng once donated some fields and shops to Xu Wenhui.

At first, Xu Wenhui just wanted to run these industries well, and then he could just take Minglan back and hand it over to Minglan for management.
  Later I thought about it, maybe this was not Mrs. Sheng’s original intention.

Just treat the properties given to him by Mrs. Sheng as something similar to family property.

The money you make every year will do your part for the Xu family!
  "Is...really?"

When Mrs. Sheng heard what Xu Wenhui said, her expression was very moved, and the hand holding the account book trembled slightly.

She has always been strong these years, but she never expected that she would be able to contribute to the prosperity of her parents' family in her lifetime.

She turned over the pages page by page and saw that every expenditure on it was contributing to the Xu family. Mrs. Sheng was very pleased to see it.
  "Okay, okay, Hui'er, you are thoughtful, my aunt is very happy!"

"This is what the grandson should do! Besides, the grandson is just doing things with my great-aunt's money. It is my great-aunt who really contributes!"

Mrs. Sheng shook her head when she heard this. She didn't say anything. She held the booklet and read it carefully.
  When I see a familiar name, I will ask Xu Wenhui!
  ……

After Mrs. Sheng saw that it was almost done,
  After chatting for a while,

Xu Wenhui thought of another purpose, looked at Mrs. Sheng and asked:
  "Great aunt, my grandson wants to ask great aunt for help with something!"

"Oh? What can you ask me for? Tell me!"

"It's like this. In the past two years, the clan culture at home has become more and more unsatisfactory. The men's side is fine. The grandson can just take care of it.
  But the grandson at the girls' school is a little unable to do anything.

Unfortunately, my grandmother and my eldest daughter didn’t pay much attention to girls’ education because their two younger sisters were already married.
  I heard that your aunt has been growing up in the palace since you were a child and knows many people. I would like to ask my aunt if you know an old lady who is well-educated and has good character. I would like to invite her to help me manage my daughter. study! "

Now that we are both in Bianjing, it is easier for Mrs. Sheng to know about the affairs of the Hou Mansion than before.

Wen Yan did not respond to Xu Wenhui's question first, but instead frowned and asked:

"Are you doing it for the sister who became Wan Ling?" Xu Wenhui continued without waiting for an answer:

"I heard that you have a mediocre relationship with your two eldest sisters, but you are very nice to your concubine. My aunt, I have to tell you that this is very inappropriate. It's better for everything to be on the same level as a bowl of water!"

Apparently Mrs. Sheng believed that Xu Wenhui’s purpose in regulating girls’ school was for Xu Wanling, a concubine sister.

Xu Wenhui couldn't help shouting that he was wronged. He really didn't mean it.

But it seems that there are many rumors about my preference, and they have all reached my great-aunt!
  It is true that Xu Wanling was partial to Xu Wanling in the past, so Xu Wenhui accepted Mrs. Sheng’s criticism very much.

He bowed and replied:

"What my aunt taught me was that Hui'er did some wrong things in the past and felt sorry for her two sisters.

The day before yesterday, I made a special trip to Yongchang’s Mansion to visit the old uncle and his wife! "

The old lady of the Sheng family obviously also knew about the situation of the Yongchang residence, and she admired Xu Wenhui and the Yongchang residence very much.
  "That's right, they are both sisters, not to mention those two are direct relatives. Even if it is just on the surface, you should cherish her more, otherwise you will make others laugh!"

"What my aunt said is true, and my grandson understands!"

Xu Wenhui naturally knew that his aunt was sincerely advising him, so he nodded in agreement!
  Seeing Xu Wenhui listen to the advice, Mrs. Sheng nodded with satisfaction.
  Thinking of Xu Wenhui’s initial question, do you want to find an old lady with good education and high moral character?
  Mrs. Sheng pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up and she said with a smile:
  "When you mentioned old nanny, I really thought of such a person. When I was in the palace, I knew a little palace maid named Kong.
  She is in charge of etiquette in the palace, and her character and knowledge are first-rate!
  If you can invite her over, that would be the best! "

The character and knowledge of Aunt Kong, Xu Wenhui, has been seen a lot in TV dramas.
  The scene when Grandma Kong came out to reprimand Lin Sushuang was even more of a highlight. Xu Wenhui was extremely impressed when he saw it.

However, Xu Wenhui did not pay attention to these things in this life, so he had never heard of Grandma Kong, and it was difficult to show it, so he just smiled and said:
  "Since it was recommended by my great-aunt, it must be the best, but I still have to trouble my great-aunt to help invite one or two!"

When Mrs. Sheng mentioned Grandma Kong, she naturally wanted to help, so she nodded and smiled:

"That's natural. Speaking of which, I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so I just happened to take the opportunity to meet her!"

Seeing that Mrs. Sheng was happy, Xu Wenhui thought of his ultimate goal and pretended not to care, smiling and saying:
  "By the way, great-aunt, there aren't many students in the girls' school now, but Ling Yatou is a bit lonely. Why don't we let Sister Rulan and Sister Minglan come over together?

It just so happens that these little sisters can cultivate their relationship! "

Mrs. Sheng was still immersed in the fantasy of meeting her old sisters. When she heard Xu Wenhui's words, she just wanted to smile and nod.

Suddenly I realized something was wrong,

To put it bluntly, the old woman has never seen anything in all her years.
  It is absolutely abnormal for Xu Wenhui to invite Ru Lan and Ming Lan to study here for no reason.

With the current status of the Xu family, there are so many people in the female school who want to get in, so why bother inviting others?
  Mrs. Sheng stared at Xu Wenhui and asked with some uncertainty:

"Hui'er, tell the truth to your aunt, why did you invite Rulan and Minglan?"
