Chapter 798, Handing Over Assets
Because they got up too late, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang had breakfast and lunch together.
At the dinner table, Xiao Yeyang asked, "Have you met those two maids?"
Rice Flower nodded.
Xiao Yeyang: "How are the people?"
Daohua looked at him with a smile: "Mother's training is naturally excellent. I asked them to follow Guyu to familiarize themselves with the situation first, and then arrange their tasks."
Xiao Yeyang hummed, "As long as you feel good about it." He paused, "If there's something you don't like about the two of them, you don't have to worry about anything. Just say what you need to say, and chase them away if you need to."
Daohua nodded with a smile.
Xiao Yeyang continued, "I haven't lived in the palace much, and there aren't many of my people there. However, before that person left, he showed some favors to some people. When I came back this time, a few of them came to me."
Daohua suddenly reached out and held Xiao Yeyang's hand, interrupting him.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the rice flowers in confusion.
Daohua: "Xiao Yeyang, it's not difficult to call me mother."
Xiao Yeyang paused and remained silent.
Daohua knew that Xiao Yeyang had some grudges in his heart, and also understood that too much is as bad as too little, so he didn't say anything more: "Can those people be used? Could they have deliberately defected here?"
Xiao Yeyang collected his thoughts and said, "I asked Defu to investigate secretly, and there is nothing wrong with those people. When I return home tomorrow, I will ask them to come and see you, and you can take a closer look."
Daohua nodded, and diligently picked up a piece of beef brisket for Xiao Yeyang, saying with a smile: "My husband has made such thoughtful arrangements."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her with a smile, put down his chopsticks, and grabbed Daohua's hand: "Call me husband again and let me hear it."
Daohua quickly pulled her hand back: "Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold!"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "It's okay. You can call me at night."
When Daohua heard this, she couldn't help but think of the scene of begging for mercy last night. Her face suddenly turned red and she glared at Xiao Yeyang fiercely.
Seeing Daohua looking at him with anger and blushing cheeks, Xiao Yeyang felt itchy in his heart. If he hadn't considered that they were at the dinner table, he really wanted to hold her in his arms and love her dearly.
Noticing that Xiao Yeyang's eyes were getting increasingly scorching, Daohua didn't want to eat anymore. She took two quick bites, put down her chopsticks, and ran to the inner room to see Wang Maner and the others tidying up the boxes and cabinets.
Xiao Yeyang smiled and shook his head, muttering, "The monk can run away, but the temple cannot." After that, he continued to eat leisurely.
After Xiao Yeyang finished his meal, Daohua didn't want to stay in the house, so she asked him to accompany her to visit the palace.
Xiao Yeyang wanted to stay in the house and be alone with Daohua, but since she was so interested, he didn't want to spoil her fun, so he accompanied her out.
Because the land to the east of the palace was demarcated and the area was large enough, the entire Pingxi Hall was a bit like a small garden, with rockery, stacked stones, greenhouses, artificial lakes, bridges, pavilions, bamboo forests, etc. distributed throughout. Here one can live a leisurely life as well as have fun and have fun.
Rice flowers watched with great interest.
She participated in the architectural design of Pingxi Hall, and the layout was engraved in her mind. However, since it was winter and there was no sun today, the weather was cold, so she could only take a quick look.
After leaving Pingxi Hall, Xiao Yeyang took Daohua to visit other places in the palace.
After walking around for a while, light snow suddenly started to fall from the sky.
"Let's go back!"
Xiao Yeyang took the umbrella from Wang Maner's hand and held it for Daohua himself.
Daohua tightened her cloak around her and nodded, "Okay."
On another fork in the road, Luo Qiong had just come out from Princess Ma's place and was about to return to her own courtyard when she saw Xiao Yeyang and Daohua walking hand in hand around the palace.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang holding an umbrella and carefully protecting Yan Yiyi, as if he was afraid that she would get wet in the snow, Luo Qiong's eyes suddenly showed envy.
Even in the early days of their marriage, Xiao Yechen had never been so considerate to her.
She understood that Xiao Yechen married her because he valued the power of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, and she married him because her father wanted the Luo family to have a princess.
From the very beginning, they were united by interests. How could they have true feelings for each other?
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes, and my father was wrong after all.
Before she got to know Xiao Yeyang, she once thought that Xiao Yechen would inherit the title of the royal palace, but now, she really can't deceive herself. Xiao Yechen is really much inferior to Xiao Yeyang!
Pingxi Hall.
After returning to the room from outside, Daohua went straight to the charcoal brazier. Because she had been walking around for a while, the hand warmer was no longer warm, and now her hands were very cold.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang walked over, held Daohua's hands, rubbed them constantly, and carefully warmed them for her: "I told you to come back earlier, but you refused to listen."
Daohua said stubbornly, "Who made the palace so big?"
Seeing Daohua stamping her feet, Xiao Yeyang said, "Go lie down on the kang bed."
Daohua instantly became alert: "I don't want it."
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang was a little amused: "Aren't your feet cold? Don't worry, it's still daytime. Can I still eat you?"
Daohua looked doubtful and stood still.
Xiao Yeyang was speechless. He picked her up and put her on the bed. Then he took off her embroidered shoes himself. Seeing that the shoes were a little wet, he took off her socks as well.
Looking at the delicate feet that were red from the cold, Xiao Yeyang held them in his arms to warm them, while looking at Daohua disapprovingly: "Don't go out on snowy days in the future."
Daohua shrank her neck and pulled the quilt over herself.
At first, Xiao Yeyang was just rubbing her feet, but slowly, Daohua felt Xiao Yeyang's big hands moving higher and higher, so she quickly pulled her feet back and huddled into the quilt.
"The bed is warm now, so I don't need you to warm my feet."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her, stood up and walked out.
Seeing this, Daohua immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yeyang was too energetic. Even though she felt that she was in good health, she still felt a little overwhelmed.
Soon, Xiao Yeyang came back with a wooden box in his hands.
Daohua sat up wrapped in the quilt: "What did you take?"
Xiao Yeyang placed the wooden box on the bed and said, "These are the farms and shops under my name, as well as some gifts from my subordinates. You will keep them from now on."
Daohua smiled and glanced at Xiao Yeyang who had come up, then lowered her head to look through the land deeds, house deeds, and account books in the wooden box: "Not bad, quite conscientious."
Xiao Yeyang also took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, sitting at the end of the bed. As soon as he got under the quilt, he pulled Daohua's feet into his hands. Seeing Daohua staring at him, he immediately smiled and said, "You've walked a lot today. Let me give you a massage. Don't you want to know how much I'm worth? Look at the account book."
"Don't mess around." Daohua warned Xiao Yeyang before turning her gaze to the things in the wooden box again.
Seeing that the largest source of income in the account book was the Xiangyang Liulichang in Zhongzhou, Daohua quickly asked, "Is all the income from the Liulichang still yours?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head. "After the war in Northern Frontier, the national treasury was not full, so I took the initiative to hand over the Xiangyang Liulichang to my uncle. My uncle didn't take it all back, but I can only get half of the annual income."
"I was just about to tell you this. The profits of Xiangyang Liulichang have always been shared by you and your third brother. Now that the emperor's uncle has taken back half of the profits, I can only give each of you three brothers 10% of my share."
Daohua nodded and asked, "Do you have enough money? If not, I have more here." She knew that Xiao Yeyang secretly supported a group of people, and these people cost a lot of money.
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang immediately laughed and rubbed Daohua's feet vigorously: "I am your husband, after all, an upright man. How can I use my wife's money?"
Seeing him like this, Daohua didn't say anything more.
It gets dark quickly in winter, and by the time Daohua finished looking through the contents of the wooden box, it was already time for dinner.
The two got out of bed and ate.
After the meal, Daohua's heart trembled when she saw Xiao Yeyang, who suddenly became energetic. When he carried her to bed, she reminded him again and again that she had to go back home tomorrow and couldn't sleep too late.
That night, Wang Maner and Lixia stayed up late, brought hot water into the room, and waited for another half an hour until there was no sound in the house. Then they made a bed on the floor in the outer room to rest.
