However, Zhou Yaoniang obviously couldn't listen to Xinghua's advice.
"We are all a family, so it's okay to tell him this. My husband is a kind and upright man. I believe he will not let me down. He is good to me, so naturally I can't hide anything from him. If If I concealed it intentionally, wouldn’t it mean that we were on guard against her?”
She was in a sweet state of love at the moment, and Xu Tianyi was a personable gentleman in her mind.
Besides, she and Xu Tianyi are already married. Since they are married, they are a family.
How could a family be so guarded?
Besides, Xu Tianyi's character was also proven, so she naturally couldn't listen to Xinghua's warning.
Xinghua saw that her young lady couldn't listen to her words at all. In addition, she was just a maid, and what she said didn't carry as much weight as others, so Xinghua just stopped talking.
However, the young lady has a simple personality and has never seen any storms, so Xinghua only thinks that she should pay more attention to her uncle. If there is anything wrong, it will not be too late for her to tell the young lady then.
Xu Tianyi was obviously very happy about opening a store. He excitedly went to the housekeeper early in the morning to talk about his plans.
However, the housekeeper seemed not very willing to accept Xu Tianyi's proposal.
"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to pay this money. It's true that I don't have the right to make the decision. After all, this is the master's money. If I don't get the master's consent, I can't get a cent of this money."
"What's more, uncle, you have never done business, and this business is not easy to do. You are a scholar, and studying is much better than doing business. Isn't it because of studying that I can achieve today's achievements?" At this moment, the old slave He only tried to dissuade Xu Tianyi with words.
When Xu Tianyi heard what the other party said, he was naturally very unhappy.
But he also understands that although he is now married to the daughter of the Zhou family, the Zhou family has not yet reached the point where he is the master of the family. Any servant here may make his daydream shattered.
Therefore, towards these servants, especially those with certain positions, he should show a certain attitude of humility.
Because he understood this, Xu Tianyi was not angry. He just smiled and said, "Old housekeeper, you are right. I can completely understand your concerns. In fact, this matter is also what my wife and father-in-law meant, especially my father-in-law. It means that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. He doesn’t ask Yaoniang and I to be rich and powerful, as long as we can live a safe and smooth life, that’s enough.”
When the old housekeeper heard this, he just smiled and said, "It turns out to be what the master meant. Sir, I won't embarrass you. Aren't you going to accompany the young lady back to your parents' home tomorrow? Why don't you ask what the madam wants. If the madam agrees, then I will naturally No comments either.”
After understanding what the old butler meant, Xu Tianyi naturally just thanked the old butler.
Then he just left the yard and returned to Yaoniang's side.
Yaoniang obviously did not expect that Xu Tianyi would come back suddenly. She looked at Xu Tianyi in surprise and said, "Husband? What's wrong? Is the matter settled?"
Hearing this, Xu Tianyi only smiled awkwardly and said, "How can things be solved so easily? The old housekeeper said he couldn't give me money!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yaoniang immediately said, "This is my family's money. I can give it to whoever I want! Since he said that, I will go ask the old housekeeper right now!"
After the words fell, Zhou Yaoniang got up to find trouble for the other party.
How could Xu Tianyi let Zhou Yaoniang confront the opponent, so he immediately stopped Zhou Yaoniang and said, "Yaoniang, don't be so angry. The old housekeeper definitely doesn't really regard the money as his own. He is doing it for our own good." Well, after all, we are both still young, so it’s normal for him to worry about spending money lavishly.”
On the other side, Xinghua said to Zhou Yaoniang, "Miss, I think the old housekeeper would never do such a thing. After all, he has been an old man for many years. If something happens to the master, he will not leave. I think we have misunderstood him." .”
Hearing what Xu Tianyi and Xinghua said, Zhou Yaoniang also realized that she had indeed been impulsive just now.
The old housekeeper was born into the family, so
Children born into families generally treat themselves as a member of the family.
She also knew the old housekeeper's personality very well. The old housekeeper was very cautious and conscientious, but he was absolutely upright.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yaoniang couldn't help but feel ashamed of her impulsive behavior just now. She actually wanted to quarrel with the old housekeeper just now. This was definitely not a wise behavior.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but whispered, "You are right. The old housekeeper is usually very cautious. I think if he does this, it is probably just a misunderstanding. I can just go and tell the old housekeeper in person." .”
After saying this, Zhou Yaoniang still wanted to find the old housekeeper.
However, Xu Tianyi stopped her at that moment, "Yao Niang, we are not in a hurry. We will go back to Madam tomorrow. Wouldn't it be great if we asked Madam what she meant?"
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Zhou Yaoniang couldn't help but whisper, "You mean to tell mother about this? But can mother agree to this?"
Xu Tianyi looked at Zhou Yaoniang helplessly, and then he analyzed in a low voice, "The old housekeeper belongs to the madam, and the money was given to us by the madam. Even if we didn't ask the madam about her intentions, we probably wouldn't be able to get the money. And we kept it secret." Madam doesn’t seem to be doing well either, so I think it’s better for us to take the initiative to tell Madam about this matter. As for whether Madam is willing to accept this matter, we can only see what Madam wants.”
After Zhou Yaoniang heard Xu Tianyi's words, she immediately praised her, "Husband is so considerate. Since you said so, we will discuss this matter with my mother tomorrow. Don't worry, husband, my mother loves me very much." Yes, I will definitely convince her."
Hearing what Zhou Yaoniang said, Xu Tianyi only smiled and said, "Of course I believe in you."
The next day, early morning.
The sky is dim.
Xu Tianyi and Zhou Yaoniang also got up early. They were busy dressing and grooming, while the servants were busy preparing large and small bags for them.
After the things were ready, Zhou Yaoniang and Xu Tianyi got on the sedan chair back to her parents' home.
And Mrs. Zhou knew that her daughter was coming back today, so she naturally got up early and organized everything.
There was a banquet today, and the people eating the banquet were all members of my family.
Mrs. Zhou was instructing her subordinates to prepare everything while waiting eagerly for her daughter to come back.
Until a maid hurried over and shouted to Zhou, "Madam! The eldest lady is back! The eldest lady is back!"
When she heard that her daughter was back, Mrs. Zhou was naturally excited, and she immediately ran towards the door of the courtyard.
Outside the door, Zhou Yaoniang was helped by Xu Tianyi, but as soon as she got off the carriage, the firecrackers at the door immediately started crackling.
There were only a few children standing next to the firecrackers, shouting happily, "The bride is back, the bride is back!"
Hearing their shouts, Xu Tianyi immediately and lovingly covered Zhou Yaoniang's ears, and he only deliberately stood in front of Zhou Yaoniang.
After the sound of firecrackers stopped, he let go of Zhou Yaoniang's ears and held Zhou Yaoniang's hand instead.
When they were about to enter Zhou's house, the group of children who had just yelled immediately stopped Zhou Yaoniang and Xu Tianyi. They were noisily begging for candy.
Zhou Yaoniang immediately happily took out candies from her pocket and distributed them to these children.
The children who got the candy dispersed and walked ahead.
Under their guidance, Zhou Yaoniang first saw Mrs. Zhou standing at the door, staring at her.
She and her mother just looked at each other in silence at the moment.
The moment Zhou saw her daughter, she was filled with emotion.
Although she and Zhou Yaoniang had only been separated for a day, Zhou still felt as if she and her daughter were reunited after a long absence, having not seen each other for a long time.
The same was naturally true for Zhou Yaoniang. She hurriedly came to her mother's side, and then she said with tears in her eyes, "Mother!"
Mrs. Zhou immediately hugged Zhou Yaoniang who ran over and said, "Daughter."
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a while, and then Mrs. Zhou immediately took her daughter in.
Xu Tianyi followed quietly behind him, followed by large and small packages of various gifts.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou just whispered, "Come as you please. Why are you bringing so many things over here?"
Xu Tianyi just smiled quietly. At the same time, when they came to the inner courtyard, he could see that these uncles from the Zhou family were still here. Seeing this, he was a little surprised.
He knew that these uncles came here for the Zhou family's property, so when he saw the scene in front of him, Xu Tianyi couldn't help but whisper, "Mom, why don't they leave?"
Hearing Xu Tianyi's question, Zhou just whispered, "It's not that they don't want to go back, it's really that they can't go back even if they want to."
Xu Tianyi asked curiously, "How do you say this?"
Zhou also told Xu Tianyi the information she knew, "There is a flood in my hometown, and now my family is evacuating outside! Naturally, they can't go back."
As soon as he heard Zhou's words, Xu Tianyi also knew about it. He sighed in a low voice, "It's really unfortunate."
Zhou just followed suit and said, "That's right!"
Xu Tianyi only said, "Then do they live here?"
Zhou said in a low voice, "We can only let them live here temporarily. Anyway, we don't have anything valuable now, and I'm not afraid of them staying here, so this matter is actually not important to me."
Seeing that Zhou himself said that this matter was no big deal, Xu Tianyi naturally stopped talking.
Then Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Yaoniang only went to the women's banquet in the inner room, and they were talking happily with the group of women.
As a male guest, Xu Tianyi could only greet the male guest alone.
Fortunately, most of the male guests in the men's seat were old acquaintances, and he was accompanied by a butler, so he didn't do anything embarrassing or lose his identity at the moment.
