Chapter 1532 Calculations
Lin Dai and Xie Hengnu all got their pocket money.
Based on their consumption level, these money is enough for them to spend. If there is anything that is not enough, you have to apply to Xie Yuner.
However, since Chen Xi formulated this pocket money system, several girls from the inner house never proposed to Xie Yuner to advance the silver tuition due to lack of money.
With the pocket money of more than two taels per month of Lu Xier and Yin Wen, it can basically cost the family of four people for half a year. They usually have food and clothing borne by the general account of the family, and they don’t need to spend their own money. If they really want to be frugal, they can even spend a penny.
Xie Yuner was still talking about things there, and the girls had already started to think about what they should buy some money they had just obtained.
The more money I have saved, I have to spend more money, either beautiful rouge powder, or small green silk fan, embroidered handkerchief, etc.
Girls always have something they like, and give them pocket money in order to make their lives more fulfilling and their moods cheerful, rather than doing the same thing every day and being bored.
Xie Yuner talked a lot about the current situation of the Shen family and how to deal with her own affairs in Ninghua County, reminding her sisters to take good care of themselves and not to leave the inn at will.
These words are already clichés to the Shen family and other relatives.
Just as Xie Yuner was talking, a sharp girl suddenly heard from outside: "...why? I want to go in! Let me go! Sister-in-law, I also want pocket money!"
This sound made people want to cover their ears. Xie Yun'er had to stop. In the blink of an eye, the door was knocked open from outside. A young girl with a pigtail with a childish look rushed in and rushed to Xie Yun'er, hugged Xie Yun'er's willow waist and started shouting:
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I also need pocket money. I only give me twenty cents a month. It's too little. I want forty cents! If I don't give it to me, I won't leave! Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."
It was not someone else who came, but Chen Xi’s sister Chen Yier.
Chen Yier was eight years old at this time. Although she was not a big girl, she had already begun to show signs of high-quality beauties.
Zhou's appearance is a bit worse, but Shen Mingjun has excellent genes, so that Chen Yi'er has been a beauty since childhood. In addition, she has been influenced by Zhou's appearance and has always been very fierce. She is known for bullying her younger brother and being naughty. She is a demon king at home, and anyone who sees her will have a headache.
Zhou could not take care of Chen Yi'er, so he simply threw his daughter to his daughter-in-law and let her daughter-in-law discipline her.
Xie Yun'er couldn't cure her sister-in-law. Now, facing Xiong Yatou, who was playing tricks and doing everything in front of her, she was helpless for a moment.
Chen Yi'er was clamoring happily, and suddenly Lin Dai shouted: "Enough! Can you shut up? Who do you want to make a noise to death?"
Just one sentence made Chen Yi'er's noise stop suddenly. She looked at Lin Dai sideways, and there was a cold and pretty face in her eyes. Realizing that this little sister-in-law was never easy to mess with, she stood there with her big eyes blinking and stopped saying a word.
The only one who can really control Chen Yier at home is Lin Dai, and I don’t know what’s going on. Once Lin Dai shows his power, even Chen Yier can only be honest.
Chen Yi'er stopped yelling around here, and Xie Yun'er finally could breathe a sigh of relief. She shook her head: "Okay, Yi'er, your voice is loud at home. I said that you only add five cents of pocket money to you every year. Now that the Chinese New Year is not yet, why are you disobedient again?"
Chen Yier showed her cute little loli's spirit of pestering: "Sister-in-law, didn't you agree that I would have to increase my pocket money if I have made progress in my studies. This time, the female teacher took the school to study, and I was much smarter than my younger brother! I did not make any mistake in reciting the "Four Books" and the "Five Classics"... Humph, I have memorized it all..."
Xie Yuner couldn't help frowning after hearing this.
She also knew that Chen Yier's intelligence could be comparable to Chen Xi. Other girls did not have the chance to study. This little devil who had always served like a princess has been taught by a wise teacher since she was a child. Whether it was studying or having fun, she learned very quickly. In just two years, Chen Yier had recited all the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" and could even write them verbally.
Xiaoyu pulled Chen Yi'er over, touched her head, and asked in surprise: "Miss, you are so amazing. Are you able to learn all the "Four Books" and "Five Classics"?"
"That's not!"
Chen Yier was proud and opened Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, you can't touch other people's head casually. My mother said that she often doesn't grow big if her head is touched... Humph!"
Xie Yuner said angrily: "You are the only one in your family, so let's do it. Starting today, I will add ten cents of pocket money to you and Juro every month. In this way, you will have one cent of pocket money every day, but you can't give it to you at one time... What do you want to buy, save money by yourself!"
Chen Yier's big eyes narrowed into a slit, like crescent moon, smiling and overjoyed. Obviously, there was something bad in her belly.
Needless to say, she calculated the penny she had for her younger brother every day. With her powerful ability to control her brother, Chen Yun had to "give her pocket money" to her public. In name, she had to put the pocket money of two people together to spend it, but in fact, they were all dominated by Chen Yier.
"I just said that my sister-in-law is the best. Thank you, sister-in-law, hehe!"
Chen Yi'er jumped up and kissed Xie Yun'er directly on the face, then ran away. This move made Xie Yun'er have a big fancy face.
He was forced to kiss in public. Although he was his sister-in-law, Xie Yuner still felt a little embarrassed. But Chen Yier was always just a girl of seven or eight years old, and it was meaningless to be petty.
Lu Xier and Xie Hengnu were laughing secretly beside each other, and Xie Yuner said with a stern face: "Jun'er, Xier, why are you laughing at?"
"No, no!"
Xie Hengnu put down his slender hands covering his mouth and sat upright.
Xie Yuner looked at Lin Dai who was a little annoyed, withdrew her gaze and said, "I haven't finished what happened just now, but I was disturbed by Yi'er coming in. Let's continue to tell you..."
...
...
On a sunny morning, a family of women gathered together to talk about things, and this scene was very warm.
If Chen Xi could come back, he would definitely want to listen. Unfortunately, Chen Xi was thinking about how to deal with Jiaozhi's attack on the border troops at this time.
Chen Xi arrived at Xuanhua, Nanning Prefecture City on the 27th of the lunar month. Unlike before, he stationed outside Guilin Prefecture City, this time Chen Xi directly entered Xuanhua City, took over all city defenses and access controls, and was personally responsible for the military operations of Nanning Prefecture and surrounding prefectures.
The troops led by Mo Zhuan from Jiaozhi have invaded the border areas of Nanning Prefecture several times. As early as three months ago, the five prefectures and three counties in the prefecture were already in war preparation.
Because the Jiaozhi soldiers were not very familiar with the Ming terrain, the area they harassed was in Guangxi, which was south of Nanning Prefecture, and the north was only around Nanning Prefecture. Because the defenders of the city implemented a strategy of being unable to defend from the beginning, even if the Jiaozhi thief army invaded outside Nanning Prefecture, no one fought head-on with them, which made the Jiaozhi soldiers even more unscrupulous.
When Chen Xi entered the city, Gao Ji, the prefect of Nanning, immediately handed over his yamen to Chen Xi for use, and he moved out of the yamen and ran to the county yamen to work with the county magistrate Xuanhua.
Chen Xi went to the tent to discuss matters, and Gao Ji also attended the military aircraft.
Because Nanning Prefecture was invaded by the Jiaozhi thief army, Gao Ji wrote to the court many times, and even sent troops to the six provinces to write letters for help, for fear that he would follow the city to be buried with the city.
Gao Ji estimated that even if he could escape back to the mainland safely at a high position, the court would not let him go afterwards.
On the 27th night of the winter moon, Chen Xi rose to the tent to discuss matters.
Gao Ji seemed to be bitter and told about the actions of the Jiaozhi soldiers in the jurisdiction of Nanning Prefecture in the past few months. During this period, he burst into tears several times, as if the court ignored Nanning Prefecture and was preparing to "cede" Nanning Prefecture to Jiaozhi.
Finally, Gao Ji looked at Chen Xi and said, "...Master Shen, you must expel the bandit army that violated the border. There are no less than seven or eight thousand people abducted around Nanning Prefecture. If you let them rage like this, sooner or later, Nanning Prefecture will be robbed by them one day!"
Su Jingyang said dissatisfiedly: "Gao Zhifu, what do you mean? Lord Shen has brought troops into the city and said that the thief army will come to rob the city. Do you think that so many of us are here and can't defend your Xuanhua County?"
Gao Ji knew that the person in front of him was not an ordinary general, but a commander of the provincial capital. He could only say politely: "Mr. Su must not be anxious. Isn't this official afraid that something will happen to Nanning Prefecture City?"
"Although Dayue repeatedly invaded the border a few years ago, he had only a handful of times to attack Nanning Fucheng. However, within this year, he had robbed the surrounding areas of Nanning Fucheng several times, and it was even more and more time after time. This is what made me worry about. Lord Shen, what do you think?"
Chenxidao: "What kind of Dayue is just called Jiaozhi!"
Gao Ji was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Jiaozhi was a name changed by the Ming Dynasty court. In those decades, the court officially included Jiaozhi in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Now the name "Da Yue" was translated according to the statement from Jiaozhi.
Gao Ji shook his head: "Mr. Shen, I'm afraid I'm not going to care about these things at this time!"
Chen Xi said coldly: "Some things should be taken care of from the beginning. This time, it is not an enemy country that disturbs the border, but it is best to treat it as an internal rebellion. At the beginning, our Ming Dynasty brought Jiaozhi to the territory, but his ambition was to make a series of changes. Now that I came, I was going to quell the local rebellion..."
Because what Chen Xi said was not accepted by Gao Ji, he coughed and said, "Whatever the lord said is nothing!"
Zhang Yong said angrily: "Mr. Shen, do you care about a title? Do you think it's meaningful? You told the Southern Barbarians that you are the people of the Ming Dynasty, can they understand? Now discuss how to solve the problem of the Southern Barbarian soldiers who are wandering in the local area. This is the most important thing at the moment... The court did not allow you to recover the lost territory, but only let you expel them from the country, so you can withdraw your troops!"
Gao Ji felt very pleasant to hear Zhang Yong's words and nodded: "Eunuch Zhang said so well!"
With Gao Ji's understanding, Zhang Yong, the military supervisor, must have a great position in the army. He made this judgment based on the relationship between the commander and the military supervisor in other military commanders.
