"Father, if Princess Ya's plan fails and she tries another one, wouldn't I have to be frightened every day?" Xie Fengyue lowered her eyes and asked aggrievedly.
Taifu Xie thought for a moment and replied: "Then what else do you want?"
As soon as these words were said, none of the three people in the room spoke again, and they could only hear cicadas screaming outside the window.
Seeing Taifu Xie's brows softened, he started to frown again.
Xie Fengyue went straight to the point and spoke: "I want government soldiers."
"Then I will send you two teams of soldiers.
Taifu Xie thought she wanted a lion with a big mouth, but it turned out that there were only a few hundred soldiers, so he agreed without thinking.
However, Wei Ning knew that his sister had a lot of little thoughts, so he raised his eyes to look at her.
Xie Fengyue opened and closed her lips and answered without hesitation: "The soldiers my father sent to my government must also give me their deeds."
Before Taifu Xie could refuse, Wei Ning spoke up: "Impossible, the Xie family's soldiers carry family deeds with them. If I give you a girl, doesn't that mean I'm giving you hundreds of military rights in the family? Xie family There is no precedent for this, not even Xie Fengyu!”
Of course Wei Ning wanted to stop Xie Fengyue from having soldiers. If she really had soldiers whose wealth and life were all in her hands, how could he instigate Princess Ya to take action and make Xie Fengyue leave with worries.
Xie Fengyue looked at Taifu Xie and saw that he didn't speak. She immediately became bolder and replied: "I am surrounded by guards sent by the royal family. They don't care about me at all. If I order them, I will I wouldn’t have fallen into such a dangerous situation yesterday and almost got myself in trouble!”
"Father, I'm just a little girl. What's the big deal if I hold the military power in the palace, not to mention there are only a few hundred people. I just want to feel at ease. My brother is so busy with affairs. If he comes again for a while, Shen, I may not be as lucky as yesterday to escape Princess Ya’s plot!”
Xie Fengyue shut up after saying this.
Things should not be rushed, but planned slowly.
Taifu Xie was silent for a long time this time. It was so long that Xie Fengyue wanted to exchange for a simpler compensation, so he responded slowly: "The soldiers can be given to you, but how can you afford them? Your princess The salary is only so small. It would be difficult to pay the salary to a hundred or so people, but the soldiers have to support their families together. "
His words woke up the dreamer, and Xie Fengyue was shocked to realize that her thoughts were too simple.
Weining also laughed out loud: "Sister, you are still too young. You have no business in Beijing."
"Then please father be more considerate of his daughter and select two teams of soldiers who have no family members!"
Neither of them expected Xie Fengyue to say such a thing, and the expressions on their faces were extremely exciting.
"Fu soldiers without family members are just soldiers who have not been trained. Are you sure you want such soldiers?" Taifu Xie asked.
Xie Fengyue was silent and replied seriously: "Thank you father for your consideration. My daughter is so grateful that she burst into tears."
"Ha" Wei Ning chuckled softly: "Sister, your life will be very tight in the future. Don't even want any jewelry or clothes."
Xie Fengyue blinked at her: "Brother, although what happened yesterday was done by Princess Ya, the fundamental reason is that you didn't keep an eye on her and didn't take my sister's safety to heart. Shouldn't brother apologize to me? What?”
Alarm bells rang in Wei Ning's heart. The evil Xie Fengyue he was familiar with was back again. He looked at her warily and pursed his lips in silence.
"Why don't you, brother, give me some of the shops under your name, so that I can use more ice in the summer?" She looked at Wei Ning longingly, and opened her mouth in a rude request.
I would like to ask, where in the whole of Qian'an can anyone give their elder brother's property to his younger sister?
Even if it is a dowry, it is clearly separated from her brother in the family. Now she wants the property in his name with just one word. If he could agree to it in the past, everything he is planning now needs to be real. If you throw away the gold and silver, there will be no surplus left for her. Weining's face was as dark as ink, and the hands on his knees were already interacting unconsciously: "I can give you ten thousand taels of silver. Don't worry about what you have and what you don't have."
If the money is gone, you can still make it again. If the apparent wealth is gone, then it is really gone.
Today's Qian'an dynasty is no better than the previous dynasty, and properties can be transferred at will.
In order to protect their interests, the royal family members robbed the aristocratic family of food. They personally grasped the legal documents. Now that he is Rong Anbo on the surface, he must transfer the property through the documents on the surface. Once it is transferred, it cannot be taken back unless Xie Fengyue goes to the sect's mansion in person, fingerprints and writes the paperwork before it can be returned.
Xie Fengyue looked at Taifu Xie aggrievedly: "Father~"
Taifu Xie naturally understood what Weining was thinking, and he comforted him: "Your brother will give you ten thousand taels of silver, and I will give you another thousand gold here. He is about to marry your sister-in-law, so you must leave some body for him. ”
A smile flashed across Xie Fengyue's eyes. Now that her goal has been achieved, she no longer wants to be that snarky little girl. A look of admiration immediately appeared on her face: "My father is still thoughtful, and I listen to him."
After chatting for so long, Taifu Xie was tired. He rubbed his brows and said, "You go back to your house today. After I finish handling the matters at hand, I will send all the deeds and people to your house."
"Can you ask my brother to send me back? I'm afraid~"
Taifu Xie nodded and waved, indicating that it was okay. Xie Fengyue then stood up and saluted to say goodbye.
She and Weining walked one behind the other on the path paved with bluestones, both of them silently understanding each other, like strangers.
Before getting on the carriage, Xie Fengyue said: "Am I lucky enough to ride with Uncle Wei?"
Wei Ning nodded with a complicated expression. Now he was completely unsure of what this sister was thinking.
He cursed in his heart, could Wu Gong really be so good at teasing people that he could make a little girl who used to see through her at a glance look like this now?
Weining's carriage belongs to the earl system and is much more spacious than the carriage Xie Fengyue used to travel on weekdays.
She sat on the bench calmly, but her eyes drifted to Wei Ning, who had been silent.
This seemingly invisible look made Wei Ning feel uncomfortable. He felt guilty for this sister in his heart, but this guilt was not enough to make him give up what he wanted.
He let out a long sigh: "Just tell me what you have to say, and we won't become so estranged as brother and sister."
Xie Fengyue crossed her arms and replied: "Shouldn't it be me who said this?"
She silently added: "Right? Uncle Wei?"
These words were extremely strange, but Wei Ning couldn't get angry. He lowered his voice and said, "What do you want to do?"
"I should still ask you this." She spoke softly.
Wei Ning suddenly became discouraged: "What I do now involves many things. As long as you know that you abide by your duty as a girl, you will be more prosperous and wealthy in the future."
"Brother, do you want to make me the eldest princess?"
Moon Girl doesn't want industry. That thing can't maximize short-term benefits, and it's not as practical as real money!
