Chapter 562: A Few Children and a Play 4
"Why not? Can't you see that our family Ce Xiao has a talent for managing money?" Xi Xi asked with a raised mouth.

"No way, no way," Yuan Yin's attitude was very firm, "It's fine to have you, a lucky cat, at home. Ce Xiao is a boy, and he has things to do."

"Hey," Xi Xi patted Yuan Yin dissatisfied, "Zhao Yuanyin, you are discriminating against the industry! What happened to the business? Do you lose face to Lord You?"

"It's not a matter of face. If you have that spare time, it's better to go to the battlefield and fight for it. That's the ambition of a man."

"Go! What kind of ambition? Isn't doing business counted as ambition?"

"Don't be unreasonable."

"Who is being unreasonable?"

While their parents were arguing, the three children cleverly slipped out of the room and went to sleep with their nanny.As for what Ce Xiao will do in the future, the two finally decided to let Ce Xiao choose by himself, and no one is allowed to interfere.

The next morning, Yuan Yin remembered what happened to Xi Wei, so he sent a guard to investigate.After a while, Xixi came in with a gift slip, handed it to him and said, "Look, King Yama, this is a congratulatory gift for Qing Yi and the shopkeeper, is there anything else you want to add?"

Yuan Yin didn't even look at it: "You can decide these things yourself, don't show it to me."

Xixi leaned against the edge of the desk, lowered her head and touched her long nails, and said slowly: "That's not okay! What if our lucky cat is not reliable? If you are short in the middle, how much is it?" OK……"

Without saying a word, Yuan Yin reached out and fiddled with her armpit.She giggled and wanted to jump away, but Yuan Yin pulled her over, stuffed her into her arms and asked, "Isn't this over yet? When are you going to read it?"

"It was supposed to be..."

"It's done, no one is allowed to add words, if you say it again, it will be a foul." Yuan Yin circled her and smiled.

"Hmph," Xixi pouted and tilted her head, "King Yama is just being unreasonable!"

"It's too late, let's find a reasonable person in the next life!"

"Let go, I'll go find it now!"

"Find one and kill the other, believe it or not?"

The two were arguing, and the guard who had been sent just now came back in a hurry.Xixi got up and leaned against Yuanyin's chair.Yuan Yin asked: "Have you found it?"

"The investigation found it, but the situation has changed."

"what happened?"

"The subordinate just went to the steward on the street in the back alley, and the steward said that there are several families renting there recently. There is only one family named Xia with a boy of [-] or [-] at home. Wait. The housekeeper only found out when he led his subordinates to Xia's house that something happened to Xia's house last night!"

"What happened?" Xixi asked hurriedly.

"Xia's family originally had four members. Besides the boy, there was a younger son and a couple. For some reason, the couple were killed last night, leaving only the younger son, and the older boy also It's gone!"

Xixi was startled and asked, "Do you know who did it?"

"According to that little boy, it was his cousin who did it. The older boy is his cousin. Now the work in the yamen is being inspected there, and the subordinates should hurry back and report to the prince."

Yuan Yin asked: "The couple were killed by what sharp weapon?"

"According to Zuo Zuo, it should be a sharp dagger."

Hearing the word dagger, Xixi couldn't help but think of Xi Wei's words, looked down at Yuan Yin and said softly, "Could it be the one Xi Wei bought?" Yuan Yin frowned slightly, and told the guard: "This matter Just keep an eye on it, and see what results you can find out in the yamen."

"Yes, my lord!"

After the guards left, Xixi said with a look of lingering shock: "Could it be that Xi Wei bought it? That boy is too scheming, right? He coaxed Xi Wei to buy him a dagger, and then he Holding that dagger... Zhao Yuanyin, don't tell Xi Wei about this, right?"

Yuan Yin shook his head and said: "Of course you can't tell her, or she will feel sad. This boy has some scheming, and if he kills someone and escapes, it must be premeditated. This time, I just want to learn a lesson and tell Si Zhengtang The people in charge will check the yard carefully, and this kind of thing is not allowed to happen again!"

"understood!"

At this time, Xi Wei was sitting in Qiao Yuan's medicine shed, rubbing the pills with Shuangxuan on the swing.Qiao Yuan was also at the side, chatting with them from time to time.As early as when Xiwei was two years old, Xixi asked Xiwei to worship Zhao Xun and Qiao Yuan as teachers, and later Moxiang also sent the swing to the medicine house, so the two would come to the medicine house to help when they had nothing to do.

While rubbing the pills, Xi Wei said to Qiao Yuan, "My little brother has hidden a lot of money, Master."

"Really?" Qiao Yuan asked with a smile, "How do you know?"

"I saw it! I found it for my mother last night. It was a big pile. My mother said there were more than 100 taels! He is so small, and I would not agree to lend him a little bit! My little brother is such a small ghost." !" Xi Wei said "indignantly".

Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "Ce Xiao is so good at saving money? Then Xi Wei, you should learn from your little brother! Save money by yourself, so you don't need to borrow it when it's time to spend it."

"Yeah!" The swing sitting opposite Xi Wei nodded, "My mother said the same thing. My mother gave me a peach jar, and I put all the money I don't need in it."

Xiwei looked at Shuangxuan and asked, "Do you have it too?"

Shuangxuan also nodded and said: "I also have a little monkey jar, which was given to me by my wife. I put all the silver and copper coins given by my wife and my mother in it."

Xi Wei pouted, and reflected on herself with a puzzled expression on her face: "Why didn't I have one? Why didn't Mother give me one? How did Mother become someone's mother?"

Qiao Yuan couldn't help laughing, and said, "Master will give you one later, okay? What kind of one does Xi Wei like?"

"Butterfly!" Xi Wei likes beautiful things, such as butterflies, pearls, gems, and so on.

"Butterflies? There shouldn't be such ones, right?" Qiao Yuan smiled after thinking about it, "That's okay. After a while, my wife went to the street to buy a white-faced pottery, and asked your uncle to draw two butterflies on it. Why? Sample?"

Xi Wei clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Ms. Mistress is really smart!"

"Then hurry up and rub the pills for me!"

"I want it too, I want Chang'e's." Swing said coquettishly.

"Okay, do you want Shuangxuan?"

Shuangxuan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head lightly, seeing that she wanted it but didn't dare.Qiao Yuan hurriedly smiled and said, "It's nothing, Shuangxuan, just treat it as a gift from me, okay? What do you like?"

"Celing... no, it's the kind in the forest." Shuangxuan almost bit her tongue!
"Oh, do you want to draw some trees? That's fine, it's settled. Hurry up and rub the pills first, so I can send them to Baoxintang, otherwise the side concubine will have to come to urge the goods later."

The three little girls were working hard when Linghu suddenly ran in sweating profusely and shouted, "Little aunt! Little aunt, are you there?"

Qiao Yuan stood up and asked, "What's the matter, Linghu?"

"Little aunt, hurry up! Cering broke his leg in your yard and bled a lot!" Linghu pointed to the door anxiously.

When Qiao Yuan heard this, it was worth it!Hastily put down the medicine ball in his hand and ran out with Linghu.

It turned out that a few little boys were playing the game of chasing Jiangyang robbers just now.Celing drew lots and became a gangster, so he climbed up the sycamore tree in Qiao Yuan's yard.When Linghu chased and climbed up, he accidentally fell from the tree, scratched a branch with his calf, and made a big cut, blood gushing out.

Seeing this, Qiao Yuan hurriedly picked up Celing and hurried back to the medicine hut.That Celing could bear it, and he didn't say a word when he applied the medicine, but the sweat on his forehead dripped down in big drops.While applying medicine to him, Qiao Yuan exhorted distressedly: "Be careful next time, you know? If the wound is deeper, it will hurt the bone. Don't go to the ground these few days, and the wound will crack again."

"Understood, little aunt." Celing said, wiping off his hot sweat.

"Big brother, I'll fan you!" Xi Wei took a round fan and fanned Celing vigorously.Seeing this, Swing hurried to find a fan to fan Celing.

The other children gathered around, watching Qiao Yuan bandage Celing seriously.After the dressing was finished, Qiao Yuan straightened up and was about to turn around to put her things away, but saw Shuangxuan's eyes filled with tears, as if she was very sad.Qiao Yuan was a little surprised, so she asked, "Shuangxuan, why are you crying?"

Shuangxuan lowered her head, shyly pulling the small sachet on her belt.Xi Wei volunteered and said, "Shuangxuan was scared to cry!"

"Really, Shuangxuan?" Qiao Yuan bent down and wiped the tears from her face and asked, "Did you cry because you saw Celing bleeding a lot?"

Shuangxuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.Qiao Yuan patted her on the back lightly and said with a smile: "There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just that the skin is torn. You see, Celing didn't cry himself, but you started crying? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I am here!"

"Why are you crying?" Celing asked Shuangxuan with a white look.

Shuangxuan didn't speak, just lowered her head in a slight aggrieved look.Xi Wei jumped up and down and flapped his fan: "Big brother, didn't I tell you? Shuangxuan is timid, she cried because of your blood!"

"Don't come around if you are timid!" Celing said with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm afraid..." Shuangxuan timidly said two words.

"What are you afraid of, Shuangxuan? Don't be afraid, my wife is here!" Xi Wei said.

"I'm afraid... the bleeding is over... the little county king will die..."

Qiao Yuan happened to hear these words when she came back, and couldn't help but glance at Shuangxuan again, thinking that this girl's thoughts are so delicate?

"Don't be afraid!" Xi Wei laughed loudly, "My eldest brother has a lot of blood, and he won't die if he bleeds a bucket."

Celing cast a sideways glance at Xi Wei and said, "You're so stupid! I'm still a medical student! I'm going to bleed a bucket, I'll die by now!" A series of hearty laughter immediately flew out of the medicine room.

That night, when Qiao Yuan went to see Ying Mian, she mentioned Shuangxuan to Zhuang Yunxian.Zhuang Yunxian said: "Her family used to be a small rich family, so they should be raised delicately. Now the situation is different, and her mind is naturally more delicate and sensitive. I also think she is a little inferior and timid in front of Xiwei swing, and often dare not tell the truth. "

"I have an idea, I don't know if you would like it, Senior Sister?"

"Speak!"

"My body is not much different from yours. Zhaoxun doesn't intend to let me be born again, so I want to accept Shuangxuan as a righteous daughter. In this way, I will have a son and a daughter. I just don't know if the senior sister is willing or not." ?”

Zhuang Yunxian smiled and said: "What is there to be reluctant about? Being your daughter, that's a family!"

Immediately, Zhuang Yunxian called Wei's sister-in-law and explained what Qiao Yuan meant.The sister-in-law Wei knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed her head in gratitude.Qiao Yuan quickly pulled her up and said, "It's fate that brought us together, you don't need to be so polite."

Wei's sister-in-law said gratefully with moist eyes: "Madam is willing to accept our family Shuangxuan, this servant really doesn't know how to repay you and Mrs. Houye! Our family is in such a difficult situation, she can still pick up such a good name, servant girl Even if I die, I am willing!"

"Okay, don't say that unlucky thing! How about this, I won't pick another auspicious day, I will set up a few tables tomorrow, and invite Mo Xiang and the others to congratulate me, this matter is also considered, what do you think, senior sister ?" Qiao Yuan turned her head and asked Zhuang Yunxian.
