192 Uncle and those goods were all buried in heavy snow

"Isn't Qin's clothing in the colorful embroidery pavilion?" Mu Xian asked with a little surprise.

"The Caixiu Pavilion was only available after the separation of the three rooms, and you know that my mother has always had a good face, so naturally she refused to pull down her face to make clothes in the Caixiu Pavilion. Nowadays, the West Courtyard has encountered difficulties. My mother just wanted me to come to you. The Yuan family is three points similar to the noble concubine, especially when she shows weakness, it is exactly the same as the noble concubine Shu.

Mu Xian listened carefully and thought for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure about this. I can only talk to the prince first. If the prince doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do.

"The prince has always spoiled you. As long as you say it, he will definitely agree." Yuan's tone was a little eager, and then she realized her gaffe. She quickly covered her mouth, "I'm so happy to let the princess laugh."

"It doesn't matter, they are all a family. What are you doing with these polite words? Mu Xi's smile on her exquisite facial features is extremely pure.

The original family breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "My mother is still waiting for my news, and I won't leave more. In othere..." glanced at the book on the window sill, "I'm sorry to disturb the princess's reading."

Mu Xian then stood up and sent her out of the door. "In the future, my sister will come and sit down often."

The original came and went fast, just like a gust of wind, just blowing a few leaves.

When you say good afternoon, Mu Xilan took Qin Yu's meaning to him, and in the future, the matter of Qin's clothing making was handed over to the Caixiu Pavilion.

The eldest lady didn't show any expression on her face when she heard the words, but her lips still moved and said calmly, "The craftsmanship of Caixiu Pavilion is the best in the capital. I'm relieved that I can give it to Miss Xiuyue."

The second lady stroked the lid of the teacup and said with a smile, "I don't believe that some people will do such a good thing."

Mu Xian was not angry, but said with a little joke, "Since the second lady doesn't believe it. Don't wear them when the clothes are ready. Maybe I told the embroidered moon girl to leave a fine needle on her clothes.

The original clan next to him covered her mouth and smiled, "The princess is really funny. Even the queen praised the craft of the embroidered moon girl.

"Well, don't say these are useless. Tomorrow, you will go to the Caixiu Pavilion in person, talk about the situation of Qin Mansion with Miss Xiuyue, and let her make it simpler. The eldest lady only felt that a stone had fallen, but other things needed to be solved one by one, so she looked at the Leng family, "Tomorrow, Qin Ze's daughter-in-law and I will go to the account room to calculate the money."

"Yes, mother." Leng's light response came down, and there was not too much expression on his face.

Hearing the previous sentence, Yuan's face suddenly showed joy, thinking that her mother intended to take charge of the family, but when she heard the last sentence, her face suddenly sank and bit her lips and glanced at Leng Shi.

At this moment, the maid beside the old lady hurried in, "Madam, something has happened to you! There's something wrong with you!"

The old lady's face suddenly changed. She stood up in a hurry and tried to keep calm. "What did you say?"

The maid nodded and her voice trembled slightly, "The uncle encountered an avalanche on the way back, and the uncle and those goods were all buried in the snow... The shopkeeper Qin, who was with the uncle, barely recovered a life, and now he is waiting outside."

The old lady couldn't hold on any longer, and her eyes fainted.

"Auncle! Mother..." These people sitting on the left rushed up one after another.

Mu Xilan first walked to the old lady, and then ordered them in an orderly manner: "The second brother and the third brother take the first lady back to the room. Yuan, go and invite the doctor. Mr. Leng, take the shopkeeper Qin to the east courtyard to meet the prince.

When Su Shi saw Mu Xijian facing him so calmly, he couldn't help admiring him and walked over himself, "Princess, I don't know what I can do for you?"

"There are enough people here. Just take your second aunt back." Mu Xian smiled gratefully at Su.

"Good." Su readily responded, walked to the second lady, looked at her gloating, and forcibly pulled the second lady down from her seat. "My mother just looks at the joke in her heart. If she is too obvious, she will be punished."

At this time, the second lady came to her senses and wanted to pull out her arm, but she was not as strong as Su's strength, so she had to grit her teeth and let Su pull her away.

After everything settled down in the big house, Mu Xilan returned to the east courtyard and walked into the yard and saw Qin Yan following Leng Shi and Qin's shopkeeper. When Leng passed by Mu Xi'an, she said softly, "Thank you, princess."

Mu Xiran nodded and watched them leave. After standing for a while, she felt a warm shoulder. She turned her head slightly and saw Qin Yu buckle her shoulder. Mu Xiran was a little worried and said, "I heard that uncle took 80% of the silver in Qin's warehouse to buy goods. Now when I encounter an avalanche, I'm afraid... I can't come back.

Qin Yu said with deep meaning: "My uncle has been buying goods in the northwest for more than 30 years. How could he suddenly encounter such a thing?"

"You mean... someone did it on purpose?" Mu Xi is a little unbelievable.

"All the people were buried in the heavy snow, but only the shopkeeper Qin escaped. It's not hard to imagine that someone did it on purpose. Suddenly, a cold wind came, and Qin Yu took Mu Xilan's hand and said, "It's windy outside. Let's go first."

To kill the master of Qinfu, Mu Xilan couldn't think of anyone else would do this except the second room.

Near the end of the year, the capital is less lively and prosperous than in previous years.

The same is true of Qin's house. Since the two days of learning that Uncle Qin was buried in the heavy snow, the house is also full of a dull atmosphere. Madam Qinfu forced herself to continue to prepare for the New Year after a day's rest in **, which made Mu Xilan of the East Courtyard admire the will of the eldest lady.

It's just that one thing is not done, and something else happened.

As soon as Mu Xilan took a nap, he heard Nan Xiao say that the maid beside the old lady was waiting outside. Mu Xilan hurriedly dressed and went out.

Hongmei bowed to Mu Xi'an, "Princess, the eldest lady has something to ask everyone in the house to go there."

"What about the prince?" Mu Xian asked casually.

"The eldest lady said that the princess was enough to go there for the prince, so there was no need for the prince to go there." Hongmei bowed her body. Finally, she raised her head and bent down to bow to Mu Xilang. Her tone was a little begging, "Please ask the princess to say a few words for the old lady later."

Just from the last sentence of Hongmei, Mu Xian can guess what happened there, which is nothing more than that the second wife wants to seize the power of Dafang while her uncle is away. However, the previous generation of Qin Mansion has passed away. According to the current situation, it is really difficult for the big house to keep its family power.

Mu Xiran said with a smile, "Naturally, the eldest lady is more suitable for the master than the second lady."

Although he did not agree clearly, Mu Xilang also said his own words. Hongmei was secretly relieved and bowed again and said, "I thank the princess for the first lady."

"Hm, let's go." After saying that, Mu Xian slowly put away his smile.

When Hongmei led Mu Xilan in, everyone glanced faintly and had a little depth in their hearts. Only the second lady flashed imperceptible coldness on her face after seeing Mu Xi'an, but she soon regained her virtuous appearance.

Although there was a lot of rouge powder on the eldest lady's face, it was not difficult to see the haggard look on her face. Her eyes swept around majestically and said in a low voice when she saw everyone,

"Today, I asked everyone to come here to make a decision. Now the money in the account is not enough to give monthly cases to each master except for the monthly expenses. So I want to scatter all the idle maids around you, and it's enough to leave two of them by each side. What do you think, everyone?

The young grandmother Yuan was the first to speak this time and smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that our Qin family would also be sent back the maids to make a living. Since the mother has decided, the daughter-in-law will follow her mother's wishes.

Despite all kinds of grievances, unwillingness and complaints in Yuan's tone, he finally obeyed the wishes of his predecessors.

The old lady was slightly unhappy and regained her majesty. "The world is unpredictable. As every member of the Qin family, you should think more about the Qin family. No wonder when the Qin Mansion has passed, it will add someone to you.

"That's right, but the eldest brother took 80% of the silver in the house, and now that 80% of the silver is equivalent to wasted. Has the eldest lady figured out how to get through the difficulties? The second lady's fierce eyes shot at the eldest lady, and her tone was full of blame for the big house.

The first lady maintained her face and said calmly, "Isn't it just to ask you to come today to think about countermeasures?"

The second lady suddenly smiled lightly, "When the uncle left, he didn't say that he would take 80% of the silver. Moreover, there have always been rules in the house. No one is allowed to take away more than 50% of the cash in the house. Should the first admit her mistake?

The old lady lowered her eyes and said sincerely, "This matter is indeed my fault and my uncle. At the beginning..."

"If the wrong admission is over, then you should bear the consequences."

The second lady suddenly interrupted the eldest lady's words, and her tone became more and harder. "It's been really hard for the big house to be in charge these years, but everyone has also seen people using their power to take advantage of the money in the house!" Maybe the old man took away the silver and escaped, but said that he had encountered an avalanche.

"It's impossible. Uncle has never been this kind of greed, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out at such an old age." The old lady's tone was awe-bodied, and she turned to the second master Qin, "Second brother, don't you know what kind of temperament you are?"

Second Master Qin's standard Chinese character face showed a firm look, "Big brother is not such a person."

"Even if there is no such thing. But if the head of the big house is allowed to go down again, I'm afraid that in less than a year, our Qin family will be reduced to borrowing money from people everywhere. The second lady really refuses to let go of any opportunity.
