Chapter 23: Plans are not as good as changes
Since that day, the two have returned to their original way of getting along.
It's just that Xiao Yuanhuai was visibly busier, and Qianqian was subconsciously avoiding him, so after a month, except for the time when Old Master Xiao was giving lectures, they hardly met at other times.
During this period, Qianqian gradually adapted to the old couple's teaching and began to become more comfortable with it, so she also had time to take stock of her own assets.
The money originally brought was used to decorate the shabby temporary residence, and later half of it was given to Xiao Yuanhuai. He was also generous in giving rewards in normal times. Of course, the most frequent reward was to appease the old couple of the Xiao family.
In addition, she had to leave a way out for the people around her. Qianqian asked Li Ma and Xiao Cui, and they both had nowhere to go, and of course they were unwilling to leave her, so it was a bit tricky.
She could only see if she could find a place for these two people to live in a place with good security, then sell their indentures and release them, leaving them some money, and even better, put a few shops in their names.
Of course, secretly, she wanted to leave the big-headed Qianqian to Xiao Yuanhuai. After all, there were no other acquaintances in this time and space, and giving too much to Li Ma and the others might not be a good thing.
But it’s different for Xiao Yuanhuai. As long as this person is still around, I believe he will help take care of things.
Qianqian sometimes feels that every day is like preparing for her own funeral.
Fortunately, although most of the property left by his parents was swallowed up by his clansmen, there were still some shops looked after by a few loyal servants. Things were originally not very stable, but after Qianqian went to the prime minister's mansion, they were stable again.
Therefore, the silver sent each time was enough for her to live a carefree life.
She originally thought that she was not doing anything big, and was just simply not badly treating herself to daily food, clothing, housing and transportation, and was just a little generous with her money, which was already very low-key.
But I didn't expect that I would still be targeted.
"Host, host, Madam Xiao wants to fuck you!"
On this day, Qianqian was doing needlework in her own small yard. It was the transition between autumn and winter, and the warm sun shone on her body. She felt very sleepy. While she was half asleep and half awake, the system sounded the alarm.
"What's the matter?"
"Mrs. Xiao is here to see the old couple from the Xiao family!"
"Just look for her. She's been coming here quite often recently, and the way she looks at people is so scary. I've even hidden myself in my own yard!"
"She just mentioned it to Old Madam Xiao. You are old enough and it's time to meet someone!"
"What? You're so lenient? Aren't I just observing mourning? Isn't three years enough?"
"Host, have you forgotten that the original owner married Xiao Yuanchang a year later? So Madam Xiao said that you are old and live in the Xiangfu, so you should get married, otherwise you will affect the girls in the Xiangfu!"
"Oh my god, why is this guy like this? What does the old lady say?"
“The old lady didn’t say anything, but the old man nodded!”
"Then Madam Xiao said that her family knew everything and asked you to go with Xiao Yuanchang!"
"!" Qianqian was startled and woke up completely: "What has stimulated her again? Or has the hero and heroine broken up again!"
"The male and female protagonists are not separated, she wants you to be Xiao Yuanchang's mistress! Hey, host, what are you doing, sit down quickly, sit down, don't grab your weapon!"
Qianqian grabbed a gate bolt and slammed it to the ground, startling Xiaocui beside her: "Miss, what's wrong?"
Qianqian smiled wryly: "It's okay, just exercise! You don't have to worry about it!" Then she sat down again after hearing the system's consolation.
"Is Madam Xiao's eyes too far to see the sky? Or does she have a deep hatred for the original owner? Is she jealous of my youth, beauty and wealth?"
The system choked and said, "I don't know about the other things, but it's true that I'm jealous of your wealth."
Qianqian thought of this and was speechless: "She is so poor, yet she is so envious of such trivial things!"
It's no wonder Qianqian said that. After all, in modern times, although her parents were a little sloppy, they had never lacked money since she was a child. So she didn't think the original owner's wealth was too much. After all, the conditions in ancient times were there.
"Well, I don't know about that, but don't worry, host. Old Madam Xiao scolded people. After all, you are her granddaughter, right?"
"You deserve it. Scold her to death, and include my share in it! But that's it. Did she come here today just to get scolded?"
"No, she proposed plan B, introducing you to her nephew from her mother's side! She praised her nephew's clean family background, gentle manners, and reliable appearance."
"She can have good intentions. Besides, these complimenting words feel weird."
"Indeed, it is related to the host's lifelong event. I have just extracted all the data. Her nephew is real, but his family background is clean and poor. Anyway, if you marry him, you probably won't live as well as Xiao Cui does now.
Gentle and polite, well, how should I put it? Let me summarize it. It seems that he has no opinion. His parents make the decisions. Whatever they say is the truth.
If your appearance is anything to go by, this should be the ugliest person you have ever seen in this world!"
Qianqian couldn't help but tighten the bolt in her hand again: "That's it, the old lady will scold me again, right?"
"...Host, no, Madam Xiao said that in your case, although you are in the Prime Minister's Mansion, your father is a businessman after all, and it is definitely impossible for you to find a family comparable to the Prime Minister's Mansion;
But the father of Madam Xiao's nephew is only a minor official after all, and his family conditions are average, but you are rich. Isn't this just perfect? After marrying into the family, you can hold your head high and become the head of the family. The two sides are still relatives, which is just perfect!
Madam Xiao also said, of course, if the old couple had a better choice, she wouldn't say anything. "
Qianqian sneered: "She is smart for once. She knows that for those with better family backgrounds, I can only get a concubine's son at most. I won't have the confidence to marry him, and on the contrary, it won't be of much help to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Old Master Xiao is such a shrewd person, he probably won't be happy.
But if I marry a poor relative, what if he becomes rich in the future? Besides, he will probably think that I am marrying above his station. This may help to ease their regrets about their daughter.
After all, if they could abandon their own daughter, how much more could they abandon my granddaughter, with whom they had only been together for a short time."
The system felt a little regretful when thinking about this: "Hey, host, if we had known this would happen, we should have behaved well and made more friends. Now it would be easier for us to choose, right? We should not be too serious and just get engaged, spend more time together, and then run away, right!"
Qianqian was also sad. She was on guard against the male lead causing trouble, but she forgot about this part. She didn't expect Madam Xiao to take advantage of her: "What does this person want? She has to target me. Isn't she afraid that I will turn her nephew's family upside down?"
"Host, you are naive. I have said before that she is after money. I have checked. Her nephew's family was not happy at first, but Madam Xiao said that you are rich and have a steady stream of money. She will share some of the money, and the rest will belong to your husband's family. As for your reaction, she has not considered it!"
Qianqian was stunned. The other party had the guts to think so, but she had no idea what to do. This...
