Chapter 477 Attack
Zeng opened her mouth and was about to say something, but was quickly interrupted by Xia Zihan, "Grandma, I now have more than thirty shops across the country. These shops can earn at least two hundred thousand taels of silver a year. Calculate the future of my seven or eight villages.”
"Grandma, I can be a bit arrogant and say that the money I have now can fill your warehouse. I earned all this money from my grandmother. My brother should have a share. Grandma, this is what my granddaughter gives you as a filial piety. , please don’t refuse.”
"Brother is working as an errand at Yinlin Guard. There will be more places to use money in the future. When Qinghui comes in, I will give you a few more great-grandchildren. This will increase the expenses. Wait for your old great-grandchildren. When I grow up, I marry a wife and have children. When my brother gets old, the Chu family will branch out. When the time comes, the Chu family will only have these properties. How can we divide the family? "
The Chu family only has a few Zhuangzi shops. If the family can eat and drink, they can have enough food and clothing and live a luxurious life. However, if Chu Yuexi and Qinghui have more sons, the family business will have to be divided in the future.
With one piece of property divided among several families, will it really be possible for all the descendants of the Chu family to have enough to eat and drink?
"You always think these are a lot, but I still think they are little. These only cost 50,000 taels of silver, which is still far from what I budgeted. In addition to these, I also asked the head of the farm to go to Tuihuai City, planning to Buy some more shops for my brother around here.”
“It’s far away and it’s not convenient to collect rent.”
"I will buy more properties for my brother. In the future, he will give you more great-grandchildren. Slowly, the Chu family's life will get better and better. When you are old, just wait and enjoy your great-grandchildren."< br>
In the capital city, there are many examples of wealthy families dividing their families due to the number of children and grandchildren, which weakened the family's property and made the family poorer and poorer.
Xia Zihan did this to guard against that day.
I also want to see the Chu family grow stronger and stronger under Chu Yuexi’s hands.
Mrs. Zeng's eyes turned red when she was moved. She held her hand and choked with sobs, "Good boy, my grandma has not raised you in vain all these years. ... If your grandpa were here and saw you working so hard for the Chu family, he wouldn't even think about it. How gratifying it would be to know.”
After saying that, tears fell down.
Xia Zihan laughed, her throat tightening, "Grandpa can see it too. He will see it. Maybe he is watching from the side now. When grandpa sees this scene, even if he goes underground, he will be happy."< br>
"The Chu family has an heir, a legacy, a good character like my brother, and his ability, and the support of the Second Prince's Palace and Anguo Duke's Palace behind him. I believe that in the future, the Chu family will only get better and better. Okay, grandma, you must live a long life. My children, Aqi’s and my brother’s and Qinghui’s will all call you great-grandma. In the future, the children will still look to grandma for guidance.”< br>
Mrs. Zeng was so moved that her eyes filled with tears, and she choked with sobs and said, "Okay, okay, grandma will be fine. Wait until my great-grandson calls me great-grandmother."
Mrs. Zeng accepted the deed of the house immediately. As for the rent of several thousand taels, Mrs. Zeng planned to use it to purchase Xia Zihan's dowry.
Of course, she didn't want to tell Xia Zihan about her plan, because she was worried that she wouldn't accept it.
Xia family......
Old Mrs. Xia stared at Chu Fei, who was standing upright with an expressionless face, her face turned dark, "She won't come back? I think she doesn't even have this family in her eyes, right?"
Why is there no time? How can she, a girl who has not left the government, have so many things to do?
This was obviously a random excuse made by that little bitch.
That little bitch looked down on the Xia family just because she was the princess. She never looked down on the Xia family, let alone her as a grandmother.
Sure enough, that little bitch didn't raise her by her side and didn't kiss her.
The second daughter-in-law said it right.
Although that little bitch has a noble status, she can't bring any benefit to the Xia family, so why should the Xia family keep her?
Hum...
Mrs. Xia's eyes became colder again, "Go back and tell her that if she doesn't have me as her grandmother in her heart, and if she doesn't want to be named Xia, then just tell me and I will make it happen for her."
Chu Fei didn't answer her words, but gave her a cold look. That look, like a poisonous snake's letter, made the old lady feel cold all over.
A flash of fear flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she became even more angry when she came to her senses.
Her mother, a dignified fourth-grade bachelor, was actually frightened by the look in the eyes of a little maid. It was so unreasonable and so irritating.
She stood up, pointed at Chu Fei's nose and cursed, "You bitch, what's that look in your eyes? Is this what your princess taught the servants?"
< br>
"The servants of the Chu family are the ones who know the rules best. Who in the whole capital wouldn't praise them?" Chu Fei mocked, neither arrogant nor humble, "But old lady... if you know the rules, why would you want to put them down at every turn?" Remove your granddaughter? ”
"Could it be that the old lady doesn't know how to do this? It won't have any impact on our princess. At worst, my princess has joined the Chu family. But if the Xia family really does this, what will outsiders think?"
"This consequence... I don't want to talk about it, but the old lady should have thought about it, right?"
If Xia Zihan made no big mistake, he would be expelled from the old lady's family. Others would not say anything about Xia Zihan, but would only laugh at the old lady of the Xia family for being stupid.
The princess's granddaughter, who was personally named by the emperor, doesn't fawn over her, but makes things difficult again and again. Such an old fool will definitely be laughed at by outsiders.
Xia Zihan has a distinguished status, is engaged to be married, and is deeply loved by her husband's family. As long as she does not make a big mistake and is expelled from the Xia family, it will not affect her at all, and Chu Jingqi will not be affected by this incident. There is no need for her. Moreover, she can also be directly naturalized under the name of the Chu family, with the surname Chu, and truly become the granddaughter of the Chu family.
Xia Zihan thought so, but Xia Shiming would not agree.
Xia Zihan was his eldest daughter. Even if she was beaten to death, he would not let the old lady expel her from the family.
Some time ago, because of this incident, Xia Shiming beat Mrs. Xu until she was bedridden. Now the injury has not healed. Even when Xia Ziying got married, Mrs. Xu didn't show up. It was Mrs. Liu who stepped in to help.
Later, the matter dropped and the old lady did not dare to mention it in front of her son.
I thought the old lady would never mention it again, but she mentioned it again today. Xia Shiming on the side immediately frowned and disagreed.
The eldest man of the Xia family even stopped the old lady who wanted to argue with Chu Fei and said, "The princess is busy and has no time to come to me as an uncle. I understand. I heard that she has a lot of properties under her name. Those people Well, this is the year before, so she must be busy.”
Then he said to Chu Fei, "The old lady is also missing the princess. The princess didn't come. The old lady missed her so much that she said a few more words. Don't take it to heart. Don't tell your princess when you get back." Listen, so that she won’t get misunderstood.”
Sure enough, he was a man who had been an official for many years. This statement calmed the anger of people on both sides. His ability to speak was much better than Xia Shiming.
Chu Fei wished him a blessed life and said with a hint of respect on her face, "The princess said that when the eldest master holds a promotion banquet, no matter how busy she is, she will come to congratulate him in person."
< br>
She deliberately didn't say this before, just to see what the Xia family's attitude was towards her princess.
Sure enough, the old godly woman hated her princess in her heart. She always wanted to expel her princess and discredit her princess. Unfortunately, she underestimated her princess's reputation in the capital.
Let's not talk about how much Chuge Lao was loved by the people in the past, let's talk about her princess.
When the refugees came, it was the princess who tried her best to protect the second princess, mother and son, so that the second prince's palace was safe and sound, and even became more famous than before.
When the south of the Yangtze River was hit by floods, it was the princess who took the lead in buying grain to make cotton-padded clothes and donating them to the people in the south of the Yangtze River. This led to the wealthy and powerful people in the capital to donate grain and materials.
The late emperor was poisoned, and the princess's master, Doctor Bai, came to the palace several times to revive him.
Last year, the late emperor passed away, and the princess tried her best to protect the young prince Ao Tianchen and Princess Qinghui. The Chu family even lost dozens of people to save the Zhuo family.
If it weren’t for the princess, the second princess, the three mothers and their son would have died long ago. If the princess hadn’t brought back Divine Doctor Bai, the late emperor would have died long ago. If it weren’t for the princess, the common people in Jiangnan would have died that winter. , I don’t know how many people will freeze to death.
If it weren't for the princess, Princess Ao Tianchen and Princess Qinghui would have died again after being assassinated during the palace turmoil.
There is also Mrs. Zhuo of Anguo. If the Chu family had not fought tooth and nail to protect her during the palace chaos, if she had been captured by Concubine Lu, even the emperor and the queen mother would have been in danger.
Under the original situation, the Emperor and the Queen Mother could ignore other people, but they could not ignore Zhuo's life.
Otherwise, even if the emperor ascends the throne, there will be rifts in the relationship between him and the Chu family.
Fortunately, the Chu family protected her.
And all of this is the result of the princess.
Otherwise, without such great merit, how could the emperor grant her master the title of princess.
The princess also has a high reputation and status in the eyes of the common people and the powerful people in the capital. She will not look at her differently just because she was expelled from the family that has not raised her since she was a child.
Perhaps, you can still sympathize with her.
On the contrary, the more outsiders sympathized with her princess, the more they would complain about the Xia family.
Therefore, when the old lady proposed to remove her master from the Xia family tree, instead of being angry, she was happy.
However, she still wants to show off and lose her temper.
After Chu Fei said that, the eldest son of the Xia family was naturally very happy and said some kind words. However, he took out the gift he bought for Xia Zihan when he was in office and asked Chu Fei to bring it to Xia Zihan.
"It's just some small gifts. I know that the princess may not like it. Tell the princess that if she doesn't like it, she can just keep it and give it away.
Master Xia spoke so beautifully, Chu Fei felt happy listening to it, and thought to himself that the Xia family finally had an understanding person who knew how to please her princess, but he said, "I will definitely tell the princess. ”
