Chapter 145 Someone's thoughts are clearly revealed
Mrs. Qiao said to the people in the hall: "Except for the old lady's Shou'an Hall, all purchases in the house will be reduced by 20%. You all can control your hands. If you have any questions about the account, please ask Butler Liu first. If the butler can't solve it, you can come to me. You all can go down."
The servants bowed their heads in response, and then exited the house in an orderly manner.
Ji Qingwu walked to the opposite side of the Kang table and sat down, looking at a pile of account books on the small table.
She said in surprise: "Mom, how did you manage to dig out all the account books from previous years?"
Mrs. Qiao waved her hand, and Chunhua went to the door to guard it.
Ji Qingwu looked at his mother and instantly caught the worry hidden in her eyes.
Mrs. Qiao sighed and said: "Your father has sent a letter, saying that it is Xi Jin's repeated provocations. There have been constant turmoil on the border recently. Your father has dealings with businessmen who specialize in traveling to the north. They have recently heard the news. General Wei He has been seriously injured, so the emperor sent General Yuchi to suppress the battle at the border. There is no telling when the battle will start."
In the Hanli Palace, Concubine Wei said the same thing after breaking in. But Emperor Wu Su said that Wei Ting was fine, and she believed him, and Wei Ting would be fine.
However, she had no idea whether or when this battle would be fought.
Mrs. Qiao continued: "Our Ji family still needs to make plans early."
At this time, we are sorting out the account books, liquidating the family property, and saving money in the house.
Ji Qingwu understood the profound meaning. She held her chin in her hands and said: "Mom, don't worry, I am a good runaway. If war breaks out and Lin'an City is unsafe, I will take you and Jiujiu will look for a safe place to live again. "
She thought in her heart that if the crisis came, she would have to enter the palace and steal Yuan Heng out, and the whole family would escape.
Mr. Qiao was amused by her words and asked happily: "Xiao Wu, do you have any tricks for escaping? Please teach your godmother."
Ji Qingwu patted his chest and said, "Of course it's because of my intelligence, and I can also disguise myself." At this point, she felt like she was about to reveal her secret, and suddenly stopped.
When Qiao heard what she said, there was no look of surprise on her face.
Looking at her face with warm eyes, he said: "My mother, Xiao Wu, is so awesome. It's great."
It seemed familiar, she faced Yuan Heng in the palace I just said it once.
Ji Qingwu felt hot in his heart.
Mrs. Qiao took out the things under the box and said to her: "These shops are not the Ji family's property, they are mother's dowry, and they are given to you."
Ji Qingwu wanted to refuse, But his eyes were glued to the stack of paper.
She wanted it, but was too embarrassed to take it.
Mrs. Qiao directly pushed the shop contract into her hand and said: "When your eldest sister got married, my mother also gave it to her. This is for you. Originally, my mother planned to wait for you to get married. When the time comes, I will give you a dowry.”
But her daughter’s marriage still needs to be considered in the long term. She said with emotion: “Now it seems that you don’t have to wait until that time. Life is for you. You should take over it earlier.” OK.”
Mrs. Qiao said earnestly and sincerely: "My dear, you can do whatever you want when you are with me. You don't have to restrain yourself."
Seeing Ji Qingwu's eyes turn red, Mrs. Qiao smiled and said, "Everyone You are a mother, and you still cry at every turn. If your servants see you, they will laugh at you."
Looking at the smile lines at the corners of Qiao's eyes, Ji Qingwu rushed over and hugged her. waist.
Coquettishly: "I don't care, you are my mother, I am moved to tears, others will not laugh, they will only envy my good life."
The little daughter who has been lost since childhood He felt satisfied so easily, and he hugged her intimately, just like she used to cling to him when she was a child.
Mrs. Qiao felt sour and sweet in her heart, and touched her head and said: "Xiao Wu is so lucky, and he will be blessed as a mother in the future."
Ji Qingwu stopped being polite, put away the lease on the shop floor, Sit up straight.
Thinking of Qiao's words just now, she said with confidence: "Mom, don't worry about money. I will find a way to make these shops more profitable. Even if we are not in Lin'an in the future, we can control these shops remotely."
However, Qiao was confused He asked: "Xiaowu, what are you talking about? Why did we leave Lin'an."
Ji Qingwu looked at the thick account book in front of him and said puzzledly: "Mom, aren't you planning a war? How can the Ji family escape and survive? ”
Mrs. Qiao shook her head: "If we really hit the capital, there are intact eggs under the overturned nest. The Ji family is the Queen Mother's mother's family, and there is no way to escape."
Ji Qingwu is really puzzled. , asked: "Then why did dad ask mom to sort out the account books to see how much money is left, and the whole family should be frugal? What should we do with the saved money?" Mrs. Qiao put the account book into a wooden box aside. After locking down.
Looked at her and said: "What your father means is that fighting on the frontline requires silver. Although the treasury has a surplus, it is a new dynasty after all and there is not enough foundation. The Ji family must set an example early. "
Ji Qingwu understands.
Her father, Gibren, wanted to use all the remaining money at home to donate money to the Northern Army on the front line.
This feeling really made Ji Qingwu silent.
She has been back and living for so long, and found that the whole family of the Ji Mansion is not extravagant and wasteful. This can be seen from the old lady's Shou'an Hall. Although she is a humeral minister who assists the new emperor in ascending the throne, there is no regulation in the mansion. Beyond the rules, some can even be considered simple.
Compared with many extravagant aristocratic families in Lin'an, the Ji family can be described as "poor".
But if someone is poor, he will take care of himself. If her father is poor, he will help the world.
Ji Bolian was an upright official. Most of the Ji family's money came from the shop on Ming Road, while the second house only had access to it.
The huge expenses of the war are not enough even the savings of tens of thousands of Jifu are enough.
Mrs. Qiao continued: "Your father is the most loyal and patriotic. If the emperor says that there is a shortage of people on the front line and we need to recruit soldiers, we don't have a suitable son in our family. Your eldest brother is on an envoy in Nanchu. Do you believe it or not? Even at this age, I am still willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."
Qiao's words were not exaggerated, and Ji Qingwu's eyebrows dropped.
Disregarding age, her father was a civil servant who could not carry his arms or bear his shoulders. He was not as good as her, who had no passion to serve the country.
Ji Qingwu said helplessly: "If that day comes, my daughter will have no choice but to follow the example of the ancient Mulan and join the army in place of her father."
Qiao touched her head and said: "You kid, why can't you It won’t be your turn to go to the battlefield.”
Ji Qingwu thought for a while, it was impossible to say.

Wutong Garden.
After chirping and studying, I came home and rushed into the yard like a little firecracker.
Ji Qingwu was sitting under the window, thinking about the use of those few shops, and what would be a more suitable way to make a living if there was a war.
“Aniang!” The little girl’s voice was loud.
Tweet Tweet walked in with a smile on her face, carrying a bulging pink and blue purse.
She took out everything inside as if offering a treasure, and covered the small square table with the kind of juice candies Ji Qingwu had tasted last time.
The "candy tycoon" tweeted very generously: "Auntie, eat some candy!"
Ji Qingwu could tell at a glance where the candy with the seal of the imperial kitchen came from.
Someone really had a two-pronged approach, and today he specially ordered someone to lead her to Yuanheng Palace.
He was not idle either.
This man’s thoughts are simply obvious.
After going to court, Lu Juan came to the palace to discuss matters. He felt bored while waiting for the emperor to change into court clothes. When he saw a book placed on the desk, he quietly walked closer and took a look.
It turned out to be——
"Luring her down!" Strategy for the Little Jiaojiao who Runs with her Cubs" (also known as this book)
