Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1567

Chapter 1567

Shi Chengxuan had used to spend twenty taels of silver on a meal. Sometimes he would order singing girls and dancing girls from a brothel, but he couldn't get that much.

He knew his daughter was not lying. He himself had once served in the imperial court and knew exactly how much officials were paid.

His face flushed for a moment. Fortunately, he was not here for his son's money, which was not enough for a meal. He had another purpose. "Then I will support myself. You have to support me, your old father, right?"

Shi Anxia raised her eyes slightly, "Tell me about it, it's rare that father, at his age, still understands the term 'self-reliance'. As long as it's not excessive, your daughter will support him."

Shi Chengxuan didn't dare to look into his daughter's eyes, he just stared at the ice tray, "I heard that the hot spring resort in Yanxing Mountain is being prepared, you arrange for your father to go in..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Anxia interrupted him with a half-smile, "Did your concubine ask you to come? What's her last name?"

Now there are only two concubines left by Shi Chengxuan's side, one is Wang and the other is the young lady.

Wang was an honest person who would not give any stupid advice. My father was a man who could do nothing but lie down and never thought of looking for a job.

Only the young lady was a little more active, but not much, otherwise she would not have asked her father to test her as soon as she returned to Beijing.

"The last name is Guo." Shi Chengxuan's eyes were evasive, and he thought his daughter might have become a spirit or something, and he guessed it right away.

No wonder Guo had warned her not to let her daughter know that she was the one who came up with the idea. He subconsciously denied it, "No, it wasn't her, it was me."

Shi Anxia smiled slowly, "I don't believe it."

Shi Chengxuan saw his daughter smile, and the anxiety in his heart calmed down. "Just think of it as an old father taking a break. What's wrong with wanting to do something? You let so many people from the Shi family come to the hot spring manor to work. If I go to manage them, I will have my own people, right? Do you think I, as a father, will harm you?"

"Father, what's wrong with me?" Shi Anxia ruthlessly destroyed the beautiful picture of a loving father and a filial daughter that Shi Chengxuan had imagined. "Do you want to recall why you left the capital and went to Ganzhou? Do you want to think about it again? I was sold when I was two years old. Whose fault was it? My brother was replaced. Whose fault was it?"

Shi Chengxuan was anxious, "It's all old news, how come you're still digging up the past? It's over, don't bring it up!"

Shi Anxia took the herbal tea handed over by Bei Hui and took a sip to relieve her internal heat. "For father, these are old things, past accounts that have been turned over. But for me, my brother, and mother, these things can never be turned over."

Shi Chengxuan sighed, somewhat self-destructive, "I can't go back to the past. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have gotten involved with someone like Wen Huiyi, and everything that happened later wouldn't have happened. Xia'er, I really want to do something. Just tell me, can you let me go to the hot spring villa?"

"No." Shi Anxia had indeed selected quite a few people from the Shi family to participate in the preparations for the hot spring villa. They were responsible for accounting, managing the money, arranging the process, and finding craftsmen.

She also made it clear that if anyone embezzled money, deceived superiors and subordinates, don't blame her for being cruel in the future. This matter has been unanimously supported by the elders of the clan. They have long said that if anyone does not follow the rules, they will not only report to the government, but also be expelled from the clan.

Everyone knew about this before they went in to work. And Shi Anxia did not treat his own people unfairly, and paid them double the wages they received outside.

With high wages and a share of profits in the future, no one would be tempted by such a small profit.

If Shi Chengxuan was sent to take care of these people, the good situation would definitely be thrown into chaos.

Shi Chengxuan felt angry when he saw that his daughter refused to listen.

He didn't really want to go out to work, run around in the sun and rain, who wants to endure that? He just felt embarrassed that his daughter rejected something that was almost certain to happen.
