After the two entered the house, Mr. Qiu sneaked around under the back wall, and listened with their ears close to the wall.

Seeing that she refused to admit it, Yu Siyu covered her mouth with a veil and chuckled, "You don't have to play stupid with me, my sister, I knew about you a long time ago. I've been waiting for you to come back for so many years! Poor see, went to such a family , I don't know how much suffering I have suffered, tell my sister quickly."

She took the girl's slightly rough hand with many scars and patted it lightly.

Yu Miaoqi pulled her hand back and forced a smile, "Sister said nonsense, I have been fostered in Shuiyuean, where is there any other family. My mother and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss them very much, so I went back to accompany her. I'll visit my sister when I have time in the future." The words left quickly, regardless of Yu Siyu's attempts to keep him.

When she was far away, Mrs. Qiu crept out from the back wall and pushed open the door to persuade, "Miss, you are really confused! You know that it's okay to be secretive, why should you mention it in front of her? Come out, I'm afraid she won't care about you, right? After this period of time, you can get married, but don't make trouble again. "

"You old dog, eavesdropping on me again, and sooner or later let God send a thunderbolt to kill you! You have the ability to run to Yu Xiang and shake her life to her! If you dare to go, I will give it to you. You five hundred taels of silver!" Yu Siyu pointed at her nose and cursed.

Qiu shi said in a low voice, "Not to mention that the young lady gave the slaves five hundred taels of silver, even if they gave the slaves fifty thousand taels, the slaves would not dare to open their mouths. When the trouble broke out, the Hou Ye cut the skins and bones of the slaves and chopped them into meat sauce, which is considered light. Yes, maybe even the slaves and servants will be used for surgery. Why would you let the slaves and servants run away to die in vain, Miss?"

Thinking of the eldest brother's care and affection for Yu Xiang, Yu Siyu kept silent and tore the handkerchief to vent his depression.

Mrs. Qiu continued to persuade her heartily, "Miss, you have really made a mistake here. When you say that you have broken the identity of the second lady, you are pulling yourself an ally who is close to the bottom of the heart. In fact, it's just the opposite. You don't say it. I'm sure I will hold you back. You think, ask that merchant to come and take Miss Xiang'er away. Isn't her previous experience also exposed? It's completely different when she is fourteen years old in the merchant's house and fourteen in the Hou's mansion. It can't be compared. The most difficult thing is not Miss Xiang'er, but she is the most difficult to stand on. In the future, how can she still have face to face. You rashly broke it in front of her, do you think she is afraid, hate or hate? Not sure how to deal with you."

Yu Siyu chewed her words carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She insisted on supporting her face, and sneered, "Don't be alarmist. My sister looks like a docile person, not the same as Yu Xiang's pungent goods. , if she hates me, what can she do with me? She and Lin's status in the Hou residence are not as good as mine."

Just as she was talking, Yu Miaoqi's eldest girl, Baosheng, reported from the door, "Miss, the second lady has asked the servant to bring you something. I'm really sorry to tell you to go to her place more often in the future. They are all sisters of their own, and they should be of one mind."

Yu Siyu opened the brocade box sent by Baosheng and found that there was a set of extremely delicate eight-treasure jadeite inlaid gold heads, which were heavy and dazzling in his hand.

She happily sent Baosheng away, and looked proudly at Mrs. Qiu, "Look, I'm here, she really has a soft personality and is easy to handle. If she is a spearman for me, in the future there will be Yu Xiang. accepted."

Soft-natured? Qiu shi shook his head and lifted the curtain to go out. Although Yu Miaoqi's face was gentle, gentle and very clean, her eyes were very cloudy, revealing a sinister aura. If you mix with her, the eldest miss will not know how to die. That's all, the eldest lady never believed in herself anyway, so she just said a few words.

Yu Miaoqi was walking on a dimly lit path with towering trees on both sides. The former Shen family was also a giant, and the pavilions and pavilions in the home stood everywhere, looking at a splendid sight. She originally thought that the Shen family was not inferior to other families, except for their lower status, but only when she returned to the Hou residence did she realize that the two were more than the same.

There are no exquisitely carved beams and painted buildings in the Hou Mansion. They are all the most stereotypical and orthodox square buildings. The colors are not the gold, green, red and blue used by wealthy people, but dull blue-gray. Even the plants planted in the yard are mostly giant trees instead of flowers. Tree.

However, it is such a simple structure that gives people a magnificent aura that devours everything, and they feel extremely small when they are in it. Yu Miaoqi walked to Lin's house and looked up at the beast-shaped tile on the porch. The wide open mouth seemed to swallow her.

She shook her head, feeling both shocked and happy. It turns out that this is the so-called high-level giant family, a century-old family, and she will be the young lady of this family from now on, and she has a brighter and brighter future. Whoever stops her is her enemy, and she must do everything possible to get rid of it.

Dingding stood for a long time, she calmed down and walked to Lin's house while ordering Baosheng to deliver things to Yu Siyu.

"My son, you're back. There are several pieces of cloth here. Come and have a look. I'll ask the tailor to make you a few sets of spring clothes if you match the colors." Seeing her daughter's return, Mrs. Lin came forward happily.

Yu Miaoqi walked over to check the fabrics, all of which were precious Shu brocades, but the colors were a bit old-fashioned, so she couldn't help frowning.

Lin Shi felt something, and quickly explained, "These are the satins that my mother saved a few years ago. They are all tributes. They are very valuable. Although the colors are new from time to time, it is also necessary to make a few gowns." He waved his hand, "Go and call the shopkeeper of Jinxiu Pavilion and tell her that you only need to bring the most expensive jewelry and fabrics. My daughter will choose."

Mammy Jin led the order away, while Mrs. Lin tore off a piece of cloth and kept gesturing on her daughter's body.

Yu Miaoqi sent back all the maids in the house and asked in a low voice, "Mother, how does Yu Siyu know about my background?"

"Yeah, if you didn't tell me, I forgot about this!" Lin's face changed greatly, "When I discussed with your grandmother to send Yu Xiang away, I just asked her to listen."

"Mother, she still asked me today why I didn't let the Shen family pick up Yu Xiang. I was really taken aback, and I couldn't find a word to return to her for a while. Mother, if she spread the word about me, she would be fine. What should I do? Does my daughter want to meet people in the future?" Yu Miaoqi took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears. After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to tell Lin to let Lin handle Yu Siyu. She had just returned home, and her heels could not stand firm. It was really difficult to get rid of Yu Siyu. It would be cheaper if Lin's shot.

She didn't want to get Yu Xiang away, but the premise was that her life experience could not be exposed. Now she has nothing to do with Yu Xiang, and there is nowhere to vent her grievances and resentments, but Yu Siyu is going to bump into her and touch her bad head!

Lin Shi was also angry and scolded in a low voice, "That cheap hoof is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he wants to use you as a gun to deal with Yu Xiang. Don't worry, mother will definitely think of a way to get her far away. It's a pity that neither your elder brother nor the ancestors agreed to let Yu Xiang go to Zhuangzi to live alone. Son, you can bear with me for a few days, and mother will find another way."

Yu Miaoqi's heart trembled slightly when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Mother, what did you say to your grandmother and brother?" She was afraid that Lin Shi would put this on her head and make her elder brother and grandmother hate her.

"I just said that keeping her in the house is very annoying, so it's better to send her away. My son, I speak in a measured way, you can rest assured." Lin Shi was not stupid at all, but he just didn't want to wake up. How to make her daughter happy and satisfied, she has a clear mind.

Yu Miaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, and threw herself into Lin's arms and cried lowly. The Yu residence was completely different from what she had imagined. She thought that her family members, whom she had not seen in years, would welcome her home in the warmest way, but when it came to the end, each one was more indifferent than the other. Only Mrs Lin treats her wholeheartedly, no matter how cold her heart is, she is still a little warm at the moment.

Lin patted her back and assured again, "You have a mother here, don't worry. Then Yu Siyu's mother must find a way to keep her far away, and it won't hinder you anymore. As for Yu Xiang, let's take it slow. She is not afraid of losing her life!"

The mother and daughter hugged and talked for a while, and Jin mama came with the shopkeeper of Jinxiu Pavilion, followed by many girls carrying boxes and cages.

When I opened the red lacquer box and cage, all kinds of precious jewelry and cloth were found. When the sun shone, the whole room was filled with bright colored light, which made people unable to open their eyes.

"Just pick what Madam likes. These are all the latest jewelry and fabrics this year, the treasures at the bottom of the box. If I change to another home, I would be reluctant to take them out." The shopkeeper smiled very flatteringly.

Lin shi took Yu Miaoqi to the front to choose, this hairpin and the tulle drape, she just couldn't put it down. After more than half an hour of picking, Mr. Lin pointed to a few boxes and said, "How much are these worth, you can do the math, I want them all."

The shopkeeper adhered to the principle of doing more and talking less. Although he was very curious about Yu Miaoqi's identity, he didn't take a second look. He picked up the small gold abacus hanging on his chest and fiddled with it for a while, and said with a flattering smile, "Madam Hui, a total of 3,500 Sixty-eight taels, you give me a pair of cards, so I can go to the accountant to pay the money."

"Pair, what pair?" Lin was stunned.

"This is the rule of the government, you don't even know it? Miss Xiang'er said that if the cost is more than one hundred taels, you have to go to her to get the right card, and only when you have a matching card accountant will you be willing to pay. Money. At the end of the year, Miss Xianger has a ledger, Minwo has a ledger, and Mr. Accountant has a ledger. These three ledgers must be accounted for, and there is no mistake. "The shopkeeper was speechless while explaining. When it comes to the work of a housekeeper, looking at the entire capital, Miss Xiang'er is the only one.

People say that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and the mistress of the house mostly turns a blind eye to the phenomenon of subordinates' greed for ink, and pretends not to see it at all. Miss Pian Xiang'er couldn't tolerate sand in her eyes, so she worked out an extremely strict way of managing accounts, making it difficult for someone to steal a needle.

Miss Xiang'er has a good saying - you eat my clothes, wear my clothes and use mine, the whole family is supported by me, and you steal my things behind your back, so greedy and greedy, what do I do to you? ? I'm not a Virgin!

This sentence literally entered the shopkeeper's mind, and she quietly asked Miss Xiang'er to obtain the scriptures. The accounts of several branches were all in accordance with this list.

The shopkeeper praised Yu Xiang so much, but Lin was furious and asked, "When do I even have to report to her when I buy something? What kind of thing is she..." Realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, Lin hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief. .

The shopkeeper pretended that he didn't hear it, and smiled, "Miss Xiang'er has been in charge of the house for four years. She has set the rules long ago, and the women can't. If you don't match the cards to the women, you can't let the women go to the cashier's office. Rob it by force? The guards in the palace are not allowed to chop up the women! Madam, you send someone to ask Miss Xiang'er, and it will only take half a cup of tea."

Lin couldn't, so he had to send Mammy Jin to get the pair of cards.

Yu Miaoqi had a contented smile on her face, but it was replaced by surprise. Yu Xiang has been in charge of the family for four years? Why is Houfu not the mother and grandmother calling the shots? When is it a lame's turn? How old was she four years ago, how could she support such a big mansion?
