Huo Hongying went home through the back door. When her dog was leading Gaofeng and Pojun to the stables, a man's deep and serious voice sounded from behind:
"Huo Hongying."
Miss Huo Er's skin tightened all over, and she turned to look at her elder brother with a flattering face.
Huo Yi was wearing armor. He had obviously just returned from the military camp. His handsome and resolute face showed no anger or authority. He walked forward step by step with a strong sense of oppression.
Huo Hongying shrank her head, smiled and said, "Big brother is back..."
"What are you doing?" Huo Yi stared at her expressionlessly.
Huo Hongying thought that she couldn't hide, so she straightened her back and said, "I'm going to see my future sister-in-law. What's going on? Do you have any opinions?"
Huo Yi's expression froze for a moment, and he yelled, "Nonsense! I think your skin is itchy!"
Huo Hongying shrank again and choked back: "Huo Jianniu, you don't know a good heart. You should be lucky to have such a caring little cotton-padded jacket like me as your sister!"
"If I don't help you, I'm afraid that if you die in battle, no one will throw a bowl over you and cry in mourning. You obviously like my sister Mu Ying, why do you admit it so openly! Are you a man?"
Veins popped out on Huo Yi's forehead.
As she spoke, Huo Hongying distanced herself from him to avoid being beaten: "Sister Mu Ying has nothing to do with that Wang Sheng. You guys are unmarried and you are unmarried. It's a great marriage. Take the initiative!"
"Who heard about Sister Mu Ying's experience on the way back to Beijing and got angry again? It's useless for you to have unrequited love here alone!"
The corners of Huo Yi's mouth twitched more and more. He didn't talk nonsense to her and went straight to the stick.
Huo Hongying was numb and immediately ran to the tree.
"Come down." Huo Yi said calmly.
Huo Hongying: "I'm stupid, why should I come down and let you beat me?"
"Come down and beat you to death. I'll catch you and beat you to death." General Huo said coldly and ruthlessly.
Huo Hongying bared her teeth, "You Huo Niu, you have the ability to fight me, but you have no ability to pursue your wife!" What a man!
Miss Huo Er dared to criticize everyone, but she did not dare to make too many mistakes in front of her elder brother.
"Brother, my dear brother, calm down! Listen to me first..."
Huo Hongying said quickly: "Princess Yan also went riding with us today. She asked me to bring you a message related to Sister Mu Ying."
Huo Yi was about to beat his sister violently. From Xiao Chenyan's mouth, he learned something about the special features of the other princess.
Unlike Huo Hongying, who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, Huo Yi is not afraid, but believes that everything in the world is full of wonders.
And that princess is indeed capable.
"What words?"
"Fell into the water in the western suburbs, the fishermen benefit, and the mandarin ducks are mismatched." After Huo Hongying finished speaking, she asked curiously: "Brother, what do you mean?"
Huo Yi was stunned in place, and his expression changed drastically the next moment.
Huo Hongying was also frightened by his sudden ugly expression and wanted to ask more questions, but Huo Yi had already turned away.
"Oh! Brother, please don't leave. What about that? Sister Mu Ying wants to find a martial artist for her child. I have already agreed for you."
Huo Yi paused, and Huo Hongying felt uneasy now. Her elder brother was obviously not feeling right at the moment.
"Brother, are you okay?"
After a while, Huo Yi's hoarse voice sounded: "It's okay."
"As for Master Wu..."
"I understand." After saying that, Huo Yi walked away.
knew? So is this agreed?
Huo Hongying scratched her head. She always felt that her eldest brother's back was particularly heavy right now.
But she couldn't pry Huo Yi's mouth open, and Huo Hongying felt like a cat's claws in her heart.
"The princess must know what's going on. Damn it, today we should break the casserole and get to the bottom of it."
It feels uncomfortable. Huo Hongying feels uncomfortable right now!
She shook her head and sighed, then turned around and secretly rejoiced. She probably escaped the severe beating today.
but……
"I seem to have forgotten something?"
Miss Huo Er scratched her head.
"Well, since I forgot, it shouldn't be important."
…
Xiao Chenyan went on duty early today and was just in time to have dinner when he returned to the palace.
He leaves early and comes home late every day. When he comes back at night, Qingnuo is often asleep, so he stays in the study.
It is rare to come back as early as today.
After dinner, Qing Wu took him to see the lightning strike wood she brought back.
"I'll use the stuff to carve a wooden basket later, and you can find a way to hide it in the palace."
Xiao Chenyan nodded, said thank you for your hard work, and then saw her reaching out to him.
"The prince is in charge of the household department. He must have money now. He can't let others work in vain."
When Xiao Chenyan saw her money-obsessed look, he really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was not a stingy person either. After thinking about it, he handed her the two land deeds, which he had obviously prepared a long time ago.
Qing Wu took it and looked at it, and laughed unexpectedly.
These two are clearly the land deeds of Jinlu Pavilion and Chaoyun Building.
Jinlu Pavilion, Jinluyi. The most profitable clothing store in Kyoto, dignitaries and dignitaries flock to it.
Not to mention Chaoyunlou, the cheapest meal costs a hundred taels of silver.
Qing Wu took it unceremoniously and pinched his arm a few times: "I know you are a rich man, but you still pretend to be poor."
Xiao Chenyan turned aside to hide, and Qingnuo ran towards him in small steps to scratch him again.
"Unruly."
"Just being unruly!"
"Shrew."
"Hey, don't you call me virtuous and virtuous now?"
The two were fighting in the house.
Xiao Chenyan held her wrist and turned her into his arms. Qingwu turned her back to him and was imprisoned in his arms.
Qing Wu lowered her head and took a bite on his forearm, then made two noises and cursed: "Grudge your teeth!"
Xiao Chenyan was amused by her and pinched her nose: "You bite her even though I know it, and you don't remember the lesson."
He didn't even notice the intimacy in this movement. When he reacted, his eyes flickered. Just as he was about to take back his hand, Qing Wu firmly bit her finger.
"hiss--"
This time the bite really hurt.
The bitten evil female ghost took the opportunity to slip out of his arms, sat on the desk with her legs crossed, and arrogantly shook the land deed in her hand.
"From now on, I will be the richest person in this family. I advise you to be wise~ otherwise I will deprive you of food without negotiation~"
Xiao Chenyan was so arrogant by her that he narrowed his eyes, and his deep-seated resentment was stimulated.
"The princess is very satisfied."
Just two land deeds, nothing more.
Qing Wu had a scheming look on her face: "I know you must have hidden some private money, well, who makes me proud? I know you still have so many people in the north to support, so I won't argue with you~"
Xiao Chenyan: "..."
It is true that he still has many ways to make money, and he has money, but he can't afford to have a large family to support in the north. It is not an exaggeration to say that he cannot make ends meet.
Xiao Chenyan was not surprised that Qing Wu had already found out how old he was, but now that he had been exposed, he was a little embarrassed.
"Feel sorry."
Qing Wu blinked and suddenly smiled, "What are you sorry for?"
"I can't give you fine clothes and food." Xiao Chenyan said seriously.
He was once the grandson of an emperor, and when it comes to extravagance, no one can compare to the royal family. The cost of food and clothing in Prince Yan's Mansion is naturally more than a hundred times better than that of ordinary people.
But not to mention comparing with the East Palace, I am afraid that it cannot even compare with the third-grade official family.
Qing Wu did ask him for money from time to time. Some of the dirty silver that Yun Houxing had used to deal with the old emperor should have been given to her according to the agreement after she solved the old emperor's difficulties.
Xiao Chenyan did give it, but it touched his own private treasury.
He expected it to be a mess before taking over the household department, but the situation was worse than he thought.
Dayong seems to be peaceful in these years, but in fact there are many natural and man-made disasters. Whether it is civil unrest in the south, floods in the central part, or a plague somewhere, it is simply a bottomless pit.
And each of these items requires money.
Qingwu snorted, folded the land deed and put it in her arms, saying: "What can we do? Who makes us hate the king and care about the world?"
Qing Wu knew what Xiao Chenyan had done in private and what he had been busy with recently.
Xiao Chenyan paid her hundreds of thousands of taels privately, and she did burn it to death for the little devils in the city.
But.
"Wait a minute, your hundreds of thousands of taels of money were not wasted."
Qing Wu gave it up and planned to give Xiao Chenyan a surprise later.
But when she mentioned money, she couldn't help but ask: "Is the deficit of the Ministry of Finance huge?"
When mentioning this matter, Xiao Chenyan's expression became more mocking: "If I hadn't seen those account books with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known Dayongyuan was so rich."
