Flowers are expensive

Chapter 497
"Let's talk somewhere else!"

Xixi ordered the sedan chair to go to the workshop, took Qixiang into the tent, then turned away from the left and right, sat down and said: "Do you know what disease she has?"

"How do I know? I'm not Zhao Xun!"

"You don't know the good things you did yourself?"

"What do you mean, sister-in-law?" Qi Xiang blinked and asked.

"Let me tell you the truth, sister Cuiyue is not sick, she is pregnant!"

Qixiang's face instantly froze into a stone!After a while, he asked Xixi with a face of sudden understanding: "So, it's mine?"

"Isn't it yours, Dong Guo Qixiang?" Xi Xi asked him with a glare.

"No, no, no! I didn't mean that, I just... It was too sudden, I really didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect anything? I'm done with my life, so I don't plan to take care of the rest?"

Qixiang quickly waved his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, what kind of talk are you talking about? It's mine, so how could I ignore it?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Marry!" Qi Xiang said without hesitation, patting his thigh.

"Marry? How do you marry? Just like last time you collected the whole jade lamp, rent a house outside to raise it?"

"Of course it can't be like Yuzhan's! I appointed Cuiyue to marry into the family in a grand manner!"

"Which door? Don't say it's the door of our Prince You's Mansion!"

"This……"

Sure enough, when this matter was mentioned, Qixiang's face became a little embarrassed.It is very unrealistic for Cuiyue to marry into Prince Qi's mansion gracefully at the moment.Not to mention that my old lady is still angry, even if she is not angry, she will not agree.

On the way back this time, she mentioned that she had found a girl from a small family in the capital to be his concubine. Qi Xiang was unwilling in every possible way, so she sneaked back halfway.

"Speak up!" Xixi urged, patting the table, "Don't dare to say it?"

Qi Xiang said with a troubled face: "It's really difficult to marry into Prince Qi's mansion..."

"If you say it, it means you didn't say it? Do you still want to keep Sister Cuiyue as an outhouse? If you want to, you have to ask Sister Cuiyue if she is willing! Let me tell you the truth, if I didn't find out quickly, you That son is gone!"

"How do you say that?"

"You don't understand Sister Cuiyue's temperament, she is fierce! She originally planned to have a baby secretly, but she just pretended that this hadn't happened. If I didn't go there in time, I'm afraid she would have given birth already!"

Qixiang's face changed drastically, he stood up excitedly from his chair and said, "Then how can I do it?"

"Why not?" Xixi asked him back, "You can't marry her right away, why don't you ask her to give birth to the child for you without a name? She already has a pillow, so raise another one." , can't tell her to pass?"

"I said marry! I will definitely marry!"

"I still say the same thing, what kind of marriage method? What kind of status!"

"Of course... sister-in-law, you also know that there is a shrew in my family. It is really impossible for me to give her the title of official wife. I can only wrong her to be a concubine and be like a wife."

"Even if it's Mrs. Ru, where is Mrs. Ru from? Qixiang, don't blame me for fussing with you. If you and Sister Cuiyue are in love with each other and love each other, I won't care what you give to Sister Cuiyue at all. Fame! If she really likes you, she won't care about your name! But you also know that Sister Cuiyue is not interested in you. If you don't show some sincerity, I can stop her once, stop her! I can't help her a second time."

"I know, I know!" Qi Xiang wandered back and forth in the accounting room like ants on a frying pan.

Xixi said again: "Fame is one thing, how to marry is another, and the most important thing right now is how can you reassure Sister Cuiyue so that she won't secretly marry her again?" Take the child away. She likes responsible men. Even Ma Liu, who used to be a manager of a small farm, is a capable and responsible man. But what about you? Even if you are a noble prince, It can't give her half of the safety, how can she follow you with peace of mind?"

"I know, I know!" Qi Xiang walked up and down restlessly.

"Furthermore, she is still dragging a pillow. What will happen to the pillow in the future? Should she change her surname or give it away? Ma Liu is dead, and there is only a relative like Grandma Yun left in her hometown. Maybe she should be sent back ? If you don’t send it back, what do you plan to do with it?”

Xixi said so many things to be solved at once, Qixiang's head is getting bigger!He sat down, shook his legs irritably and said: "Sister-in-law, you said that, there are quite a lot of things going on inside! Pillow, I will definitely treat him as my own, the most important thing is what Cuiyue thinks! "

"Sister Cuiyue's side is important, but you also have to think about your own situation. You haven't settled yourself down well, how are you going to settle down for Sister Cuiyue and pillow?"

Qixiang stopped talking, and sat there with a sullen face, shaking his feet constantly.Xixi also left him alone for the time being, let him figure it out for himself.

Xixi went back to the desk, picked up the account book and started doing calculations.After a while of crackling, she raised her head and glanced at Qixiang, still dazed there!Seeing that he was frowning, Xixi deliberately teased him and said: "Speaking of which, Xie's family members live in your Yueyuan, so should the palace pay you some rent?"

Qixiang put his chin on another hand, looked ahead blankly as usual and replied, "Give it to Cuiyue if you want it!"

"Why? Sister Cuiyue is not your wife in charge!" Xixi laughed at him.

"Yueyuan belongs to her, and I didn't write my name."

Xixi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is Yueyuan owned by Sister Cuiyue?"

Qixiang regained his composure, nodded slightly and said, "The Yueyuan was bought under her name, and my name was not written on the deed of the house."

"You can do it, you are worthy of being the little prince of Prince Qi's Mansion! You borrowed sister Cuiyue's money to buy a house for sister Cuiyue, are you an empty-handed white wolf?" Xixi asked with a smile.

"I didn't say I wouldn't pay back the 500 taels! I just want to buy a house outside first, and go out independently like my brother said, and then tell Cuiyue about the future. When I bought the house, I Write her name on it, and plan to surprise her in the future."

Xixi leaned forward and backward with a smile, patted the table and said happily: "Your surprise is too surprising! If you want to tell Sister Cuiyue, she will definitely praise you for your business sense! Hey, you should Just let her know!"

"Don't let her know!" Qixiang said anxiously, "If she knows, I will be ashamed! I have never asked a woman to borrow money in my life, and she is the first one."

Xi Xi copied his hand and asked: "Then how do you plan to pay it back? 500 taels is not a small amount. Although you have a salary from the imperial court, you still have to spend some time. Could it be possible to go back to the Qi Palace to find your mother? "

"I know, you want to laugh at me again, don't you? Cuiyue has already told me that if you don't like a young master like me who can ask for money from my family, I'm not good for anything!"

"Hehe...do you know that you are worthless? Actually, you are not considered worthless. You are very enthusiastic and righteous, but you are a little out of tune, and you can make people see that you are the dandy who played with the brothel. Sister Cuiyue is an ambitious woman, and she doesn't like those dudes at all."

"At best, I can be regarded as a son of an official family, not a son of a dandy?"

"Is it interesting to talk about this? The most important thing right now is how to get Sister Cuiyue to keep the fetus willingly! I asked Mr. Zhaoxun, this is better than falling. The previous falling and not falling, hurt her. Fundamentally. Even if you fall after you have cultivated well, it will still hurt a lot, and it cannot be recovered in a month or two."

"Sister-in-law, do you have an idea?"

"Come on! I can at most help out with this kind of thing, and say a few good words for you, but I can't help you with anything else! Think about it, if you don't marry Sister Cuiyue, how can she give birth to the child? Yes? The pillows are all useless. If you add another one, how will she live in the future? So, I have made up my mind. If you really can’t marry her, I still agree with her to remove that one. child……"

"Don't, don't!" Qi Xiang hurriedly waved his hands, "Sister-in-law, you are my own sister-in-law, you can't do such a thing, right? The thing in Cuiyue's belly is your nephew!"

"Nephew? How do you know it's your son?"

"Guaranteed to be a son, I have feelings!" Qi Xiang's eyebrows trembled three times.

Xixi rolled her eyes and said, "Forget it, you still have feelings! Do you only think about your son? It really is brothers, they have the same thoughts!"

Qixiang asked with a smile: "My brother also wants a son?"

"Don't mention your brother, just think about yourself! Sister Cuiyue's stomach won't last long, it's been more than a month, if you don't fall, you will be in danger in the future!"

"I know! But I..." Qi Xiang was stunned again, "But what should I do?"

Just as she was talking, Mother Yin came with Yutao.Yesterday in the palace, Xixi made an agreement with Yutao to let her take over the warehouse in Meng Furu's hands.When the two came in, they were startled when they saw Qi Xiang with a resentful woman's face sitting next to him.Xixi smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to him, just treat him as a rotten Buddha! Mother Yin, is the shopkeeper here yet?"

"not yet!"

"That's fine, you go first, if the shopkeeper comes, tell her that I have something to do with her."

"Understood, by the way, do you want to arrange a place for Yutao?"

"No need, she lives with Moxiang."

After Yin's mother went out, Xi Xi asked with a smile: "What errand did Bing Shuai arrange for Man Xiang? I forgot to ask yesterday."

Yutao said: "The lord said that he just came to the city and was unfamiliar with many things, so he arranged for him to go to the patrol team. He went there early this morning."

"Alright, let's hang out with the patrol team for a while and get familiar with it. After a while, the shopkeeper Meng will come, and I will ask her to hand over the accounts of the workshop and the warehouse on both sides of the shop to you. It's a little more, but depending on you Your intelligence should be able to handle it."

Yutao was cultivated by Xixi, so she is naturally very aware of her abilities.During the year when they didn't meet each other, she experienced another elopement and escaped marriage, and she became more mature and confident.She readily agreed: "Sister-in-law, don't worry! Leave it to me, and I'm sure there will be no mistakes!"

"Because you take care of the two warehouses, I will give you six taels of monthly money, and you will also get dividends at the end of the year. What do you think?"

Yutao nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's already pretty good! Calculated this way, Man Xiang and I can earn 16 taels of silver per month. After saving for half a year, plus the usual savings, it is enough to buy a small house in the city. The house is gone!"

"When the dividends are distributed at the end of the year, don't say two in and two out, even three in and three out can be bought. At that time, I have to pick up my mother... no, your mother-in-law, and put her in the house alone. That’s not the case in Zique Village, is it?”

"Yes! When I went back to see her this time, she had lost a lot of weight. My mother, Man Xiang and my sister-in-law tried to persuade her, but she still refused to come here with us."

"You eloped with Manxiang, don't your family blame you?"

"No wonder..."

"Elope?" Qixiang, who had been distracted by the side, suddenly asked, "You eloped?"

Yutao turned around embarrassedly, smiled at Qixiang, and nodded.Qixiang looked her up and down, and asked, "I can't see it! You are so small, how dare you elope?"
