Caiwei shook her head: "Mom, no! You and dad are both very good, very, very good."
"Then why do you have the idea of leaving to live?"
Could it be that Aunt Ou taught me? It shouldn’t be the case!
Caiwei lowered her eyes and did not look at Li Yuan.
"Mom, I'm just preparing for a rainy day, just in case. My dad and I don't have the same surname. Everyone knows that Shasha and I were brought into the Xie family after mom and you left. Dad is very good and loves me very much. . But I heard that being an official is also risky, and my house may be raided suddenly, so I want to set up a female household and move out. This way I can save a lot of money, just in case one day..."
Not to mention Zhou Caijing couldn't stand listening, but even Aunt Han was the same.
At this time, she quickly interrupted Caiwei: "Good boy, my aunt knows that you are doing it for your parents, but we can't be too pessimistic. When your father becomes a Jinshi and becomes an official, you will know the stakes. If you really move out of Xie's house one day, do you believe it or not, your father's official job was originally good, but the next day he will definitely be involved in a lawsuit, and those people will use your story to criticize your father?"
Only Li Yuan knew that Caiwei was not telling the truth.
What she said just now may be only one aspect, but it is not the main reason.
After she waited for Aunt Han to finish speaking, she pulled Caiwei to her and bent down to look into her eyes.
"Caiwei, mother, you must listen to the truth!"
Caiwei glanced at Li Yuan, pursed her lips, and then clenched her little hands hidden in her sleeves into fists to encourage herself before speaking.
"Mom, they say that a disciple is half a son. As the master's only disciple, when the master has no heirs, he must provide for the master until his death. Although my aunt is not my master, she is actually no different from the master. We are just different. It’s just a title.”
"Besides, my master was brought up by my aunt since she was a child. Master is going to get married, and there will be many things in the future. My aunt definitely doesn't want to retire in the Su Mansion. I think about it, whether it is as the master's only apprentice, or as my aunt's family member Regardless of whether she is a descendant or a descendant, I should support her in her old age and see her through the end of her life, both emotionally and rationally. What’s more, she also has a debt of gratitude to me for teaching her.”
Caiwei's words made Zhou Caijing look moved, and Aunt Han even had tears in her eyes.
Li Yuan didn't say anything, she held him in her arms and let go after a while.
"Caiwei, you are doing the right thing. My mother is not as good as you, and she is always asking questions. In this way, when your aunt returns to Beijing after the New Year, we will invite her. From now on, we will provide for her until she is old!"
Caiwei nodded vigorously, opened her arms, hugged Li Yuan, and buried her head in her arms.
"Mom, thank you!"
Thank you, not only did you not abandon my sister and me, but you also took over our aunt!
Li Yuan reached out and patted her gently on the back.
"No matter what you have to say in the future, you can talk to your mother directly and don't hold it in your heart. Also, don't mention the issue of setting up a female household again, you know?"
"Ok, I know!"
Caiwei acted coquettishly in Li Yuan's arms for a while, then maybe she had some scruples, so she let go slightly shyly, pulled Qingsha who wanted to be hugged by her mother, and sat aside without saying a word.
She said nothing, which did not prevent Aunt Han from looking at her with more and more loving eyes.
She turned sideways and took out the embroidered handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, and then looked at Zhou Caijing.
"Xiao Jing, it's getting colder and colder today. Xinyang Mansion is a place in the south of the Yangtze River. Your cousin's family may not be able to adapt to it when they first come to the capital. My aunt remembers that some time ago, someone down there gave me a few white furs. Go to my aunt's warehouse and look for it. If you find it, bring it over and make thick warm clothes for the two children."
As she said that, she glanced at Li Yuan's clothes and said, "Look for those cloths again. If there are any suitable for your cousin, bring them over."
"yes!"
Zhou Caijing responded and walked out.
Li Yuan wanted to refuse, but she had already left the room without saying anything.
"Auntie, there is no need! Although Xinyang Mansion used to be warm, it was extremely cold last year. I bought thick clothes for Caiwei and Qingsha. They used to make them longer, but now they only need to tie the trousers and sleeve corners Just let it out!"
As she said that, she paused and continued: "Before I came to the capital, I bought a lot of cotton. When I came, there was a lot of cotton in the carriage. If you don't believe it, just ask two children."
Caiwei, who was silent at first, pulled Qingsha and nodded at the same time.
"Yes, little aunt, my mother bought a lot of cotton."
When Li Yuan came, Mian Mian was only "seen" by Caiwei and the others. After they actually got into the carriage, she took them all into the space.
Now, not only Caiwei and Qingsha, but also Aunt Ou and Old Li's grandson and grandson all know that the master's family is not short of cotton.
Therefore, the bedding and cotton-padded jackets at home are made thicker!
For Aunt Han, the Li Yuan siblings and their children are the only descendants she has in her life except Caijing.
She wanted to be good to them, especially if the money could solve the problem.
Hearing Li Yuan's words, she said: "Silly girl, it's your business to have enough. If my aunt gives it, you can take it. Besides, with your husband's ability, it is inevitable that he will be a Jinshi. From now on, you When you go out, you must put on your clothes. The fur that my aunt asked your cousin to get is of high quality. As for the cloth, the best in my aunt's warehouse is Mingxiang satin."
Speaking of this, Aunt Han explained to Li Yuanpu what Mingxiang Satin was.
"My aunt, this bright fragrant satin is extremely rare. It is a tribute made of silk. The patterns on it are very rich. I heard that it was dyed, and the color is also very good. If Mrs. Hou hadn't given it to me, my aunt would have been rich. I can't buy them. But madam, she only got three horses in total, which were given to her by the queen after she got better and entered the palace a few months ago."
"Speaking of it, if Caijing hadn't come back and given her a life-saving potion before, which made her condition better day by day, she wouldn't have been able to get this thing, let alone give me one."
As Aunt Han spoke, she sighed and continued with seriousness: "Mother Yuan, I got this material from your family, so I thought about it, you don't have any good material at hand right now. You can take it back and make it into clothes, and wait for your husband to marry me." Whether you wear it after becoming a scholar or keep it as a dowry for Caiwei and Qingsha when they grow up, they are all very good things."
When Caiwei heard this, she was a little surprised and asked: "Little aunt, is that Mingxiang satin produced in Jiangnan?"
"Yes! My aunt is raising silkworms in the south of the Yangtze River. Not to mention all the silk fabrics, 99% of them are from the south of the Yangtze River. However, my aunt heard that this bright fragrant satin is produced in Hedong County, and the annual output is very small."
When Caiwei heard about Hedong County, she stopped talking and finally said nothing.
She thought that the bright fragrant satin was probably made by her master.
The master said that he owned a tavern and a dyeing workshop in Hedong County.
The dyeing workshop is said to be able to dye flowers on cloth.
At that time, she asked out of curiosity what the cloth looked like.
