Chapter 1566

"I have to take care of Ye Baoer's injury!" Shi Anxue said confidently, and chattered about how Ye Baoer was injured, the earthquake in Chang'an County, and proudly talked about the great achievements of her mother, "Mrs. Xuezhou".

Shi Yunzhou was shocked for a moment: "Mrs. Xuezhou is my mother?"

When he heard the name, he thought it was a coincidence. Xue and Zhou, weren't they brother and sister? But he would never dare to associate the now popular painter "Mrs. Xuezhou" with his mother.

Nowadays, this humorous painting style has been adopted in many schools in the capital, because some students have brought back some drawings from other places.

Yu Sujun blushed, "I just drew it for fun."

Shi Chengyi actually knew that his wife liked to draw some humorous paintings at home, and she had even drawn some funny things between the two of them for him to see.

He found it funny at the time, and didn't think his wife could do anything. When he heard his wife say "I just drew it for fun", he also thought it was indeed "drawn for fun".

But Shi Yunzhou knew that "Mrs. Xuezhou" might lead the trend of humorous paintings, just like "Mr. Chu Sheng", who led the trend of new poetry in the north.

On the other side, Shi Yunqi and Wei Cailing came to pick up Shi Anxia and others back home.

The two of them got the news two hours ago and had been waiting at the city gate to welcome their relatives back to Beijing. They were happy, but their expressions were hard to describe.

It turned out that their father Shi Chengxuan was back.

Shi Anxia had received the news on the way and was not surprised. Shi Chengxuan had been very well behaved in Ganzhou in the past few years. Since his concubines left him last time, he was threatened by his daughter and his silver supply was cut off for several months. He stayed in his house all day and did not go out or show off.

After all, Ganzhou is only Madam Shi’s hometown, and Shi Chengxuan is not very familiar with it, so it is only a matter of time before he returns to Beijing.

Shi Anxia arranged the destinations for everyone in the huge team, and then returned to the Young Master's Mansion with her mother, husband, brother and sister-in-law.

In the three days after returning to Beijing, the Young Master's Mansion received a constant stream of visitors.

At that time, An Xia was busy with general affairs, especially the hot spring villa in Yanxing Mountain, which had been dug out according to the drawings she left earlier.

There are a lot of big and small things piled up on the desk, all waiting for her to deal with.

Just at this busy time, her stupid father came to collect debts in person.

He couldn't miss his own father, so Shi Anxia put down the things at hand and came to the main hall. From a distance, he saw his stupid father leaning over the ice plate to cool down.

Shi Anxia bowed to Shi Chengxuan before sitting down to talk. He asked straight to the point, "I heard that my father is poor and asked my sister-in-law for money. Is that true?"

Shi Chengxuan: “…”

Now it was time to settle the score! There was no transition at all! All the speeches he had prepared were useless. He hated his talkative daughter-in-law!

It's a misfortune for the family! Marry a virtuous wife. A small family is not up to the standard, so you just complain.

He didn't dare to anger his daughter at all, so he replied carefully, "Yes, yes..."

"Then remember not to have it in the future!" Shi Anxia ate the iced silver fungus handed over by Bei Hui, and after swallowing it, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "When my sister-in-law married in, this mansion was just an empty shell. There was no money, and there were not many people. Now my sister-in-law has worked hard and relied on her grandfather's porcelain to make the mansion look a bit better. Please don't cause trouble for her as soon as you come back, and don't ask her for money."

Shi Chengxuan was not convinced. "Isn't your brother the Minister of the Northern Propaganda Department? He is also the instructor of Yunqi Academy. Oh, yes, he is also the editor of the Hanlin Academy. You said that the Marquis' Mansion has no money and relies on your sister-in-law?"

Shi Anxia was annoyed when she saw the beads on her father's abacus making a clattering sound. She didn't indulge him at all. "The annual salary of the Minister of the Northern Propaganda Department is 150 taels, which is only about 10 taels per month. The instructor gets 2 taels, and the editor of the Hanlin Academy gets 3 taels, which is about 20 taels in total. Is all your salary, added together, enough for father to have a drink?"
