Chapter 253

When ye Chaoge went to Zhining garden, ye Cibai was already there.

I'm talking to Qi.

Hearing the notice from the servant, the mother and the son looked at the door at the same time.

When I saw ye Chaoge coming in, I looked surprised one after another.

Especially Qi.

It's almost a year since her daughter came back. As a mother, she knows her preferences very well. She doesn't like bright colors, but only plain colors. Even those bright yellow colors are rarely worn by her, let alone bright red.

At this time, her daughter was wearing a red cape, how could she not be surprised.

"Mother, what's the matter with you? How can I look at my daughter like this, but what's on my face? "

Ye Chaoge's puzzled voice sounded in his ears. Qi quickly recovered and said with a smile, "no, I just feel that today's song is very different from the past."

Then he looked at her from top to bottom, nodded to himself, and said, "it's like a little girl's house. Song, you'll wear more colorful clothes in the future. Don't be too plain. If you're too plain, you'll be less flexible and lively. You look good now."

Ye Chaoge smiles and doesn't want to talk much about this topic. Then he says, "it's late. Mother, brother, let's go to the general's house to pay New Year's greetings to our ancestors."

According to the custom, every married daughter should go to her mother's home on the second or third day of the first month.

However, rules are dead and people are alive. Besides, Qi Jiren and Qi are not old-fashioned people who stick to the rules. They don't have so much attention and scruples.

What's more, customs vary from person to person. According to the custom, husband and son-in-law have to go with each other when they go to their mother's home. This day is also commonly known as the day to welcome their son-in-law, and ye Tingzhi

From going out to the general's house, I didn't see a half figure of him. I didn't even send someone to deliver a word.

Fortunately, Qi now wants to open up a lot, and is not too sad because ye Tingzhi did not appear, chatting and laughing with a pair of children all the way, without the slightest reluctance.

Ye Chaoge can't help sighing that time is the best medicine. No matter how deep the wound is, it will heal with time. No matter how deep the emotion is, it will release with time

When the carriage stopped at the general's house, Tian Bo had already taken people to wait.

After paying homage to the new year, they just entered the mansion together.

Because of the Chinese new year, the general's house is very festive. It is full of red lanterns everywhere. Compared with the cold and clean Ye's house, it has a more festive atmosphere.

Qi Jiren got the report from his servant and waited in the front hall ahead of time.

Qi took ye Cibai and ye Chaoge, brother and sister, to pay a new year's visit, kowtow and say auspicious words.

Qi Jiren gave each of them a very thick red envelope. The size, weight and thickness of the three red envelopes were the same, but Qi's face was blushed.

As a mother, she even received red envelopes with her children

After lunch and reunion, Qi Jiren takes ye Chaoge to his study.

Take down a sandalwood box from the shelf and put it in front of Ye Chaoge, "open it and have a look."

Ye Chaoge's doubts opened and he was stunned.

The sandalwood box was filled with a thick stack of banknotes. Although it was folded in half, the face value of the banknotes could not be seen, but even the hundred Liang banknotes with the smallest face value were worth a lot of money.

"Waizu, this is..."

"This is for you. My grandfather knows that you have set up a shelter, and you have to put in a lot of money every month. Although your mother's dowry is rich, it has filled a lot of Yefu a few years ago. You should use it first. If it's not enough, my grandfather will think of a way for you."

Qi Jiren is easy to say, but ye Chaoge, who has lived in the general's residence for a long time, knows that the family background of the general's residence is not rich.

Although her grandfather was a general of Zhenguo, he made countless contributions to the great Yue, and the reward from the palace every year was also very expensive, but he always used to be a military when he got the reward.

The dowry my mother brought when she got married almost emptied the whole general's house. It took a few years for her to recover. I'm afraid the money in this box is all the money in the general's house.

"Grandfather, I don't want it. My mother gave me some assets before, and I don't need money on hand."

Ye Chaoge is telling the truth.

Although my mother used her dowry to fill Ye Fu for many years in a row, the remaining amount is still considerable. Moreover, those shops have been making profits. After careful calculation, the money to fill the public house is only the annual dividend of the shops.

As early as half a year ago, her mother gave her part of the property, including several profitable shops. It is precisely because of this that she squandered enough money.

So far back, there has never been a shortage of money.

As for the shelter she set up.

Sometimes she is really soft hearted, but not so soft hearted that she can't help herself. If she's not sure, how can she help others?

"Take what's given to you. If you can't use it, you'll keep it for dowry in the future." Qi Jiren insisted."Waizu..."

"Take it." Qi Jiren sighed, "I'm a grandparent. Since you came back, I haven't done anything for you. These banknotes should be a little compensation from my grandparent. I feel better if I accept them."

The person he felt most guilty about was his granddaughter.

Over the past year, he has witnessed the hardships and struggles of his granddaughter. He has to protect his mother and brother, take care of his grandparent, fight with Ye Fu's careless wits and bravery, and watch out for them everywhere

As a granddaughter, looking at her granddaughter like this, in addition to helplessness, more is guilt.

What he did for her was limited, and most of the time, he couldn't get involved, such as yesterday's new year's Eve dinner

He didn't know how to be good to her, so Laotian proposed to give her money. He felt that she would be short of money. In the past two days, he asked Laotian to take all the money that could be transferred from the government.

I hope I can help her a little, even if it's just a little, it's also his grandfather's intention.

Ye Chaoge is in a dilemma. She doesn't lack any money. To tell you the truth, my grandfather doesn't believe it. But if she takes the money, the general's house will be hollowed out again

She thought a little for a while, and said, "well, grandfather, I'll take the silver note, but I'll put it in your custody first. When I need it, I'll come to you to get it. How about that?"

Qi Jiren frowned, but he was not stupid. He naturally heard his granddaughter's words of evasion. As soon as he opened his mouth to say something, he listened to her again.

"I'm not trying to shirk from you. It's just that it's not right for me to hold such a large amount of money in my hand. As you know, my grandfather, ye Fu Gong Zhong doesn't have any money. If the old lady knows about the existence of the money, they will try to figure it out My grandfather, I want to live in peace for a few days. "
