Chapter Ninety-Four: Returning with a Feather
Finally coaxed the fourth elder lady away, and Li Qianqian's whole body was about to collapse! When she came out, Li Shu asked Jin to show her the news sent by Zhenjiang City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After just one glance, she looked up at Li Shu in confusion.
"What do you say you want to do?"
"How to deal with it?" How could she know? Li Qianqian felt that her head hurt so much!
"I didn't ask you to make a decision, I just asked you what you think!" Li Shu said lightly, to be honest, he didn't want to care about the affairs of the helmsman's wife, the mother and daughter followed all the way, from the capital to Zhenjiang City, what do you want to do?
If the people in the house hadn't been notified earlier, their mother and daughter would still want to move in!
When Li Qianqian heard him say this, he was relieved, and thought for a while before speaking, "Their mother and daughter are in trouble in a foreign land, and we should help them, but how to help them is also to pay attention to." Although Master Xu Fen can't do it, and he still does things with the second elder, but in the end, he is a member of the Ruiyao Sect, and he doesn't relieve his wife and daughter's worries, I'm afraid that the people in the sect will know about it and say that my cousin is cold. ”
"Even if they knew their mother and daughter's calculations, would they still say this about me?"
Li Qianqian nodded, "It is precisely because of this that it is even more important to prevent those people from talking nonsense." ”
Li Shu snorted coldly, "I don't care about fame. ”
"We're about to recruit people to form a caravan, but what if we can't recruit people because of this?"
"Isn't that right? If you don't come, you won't come!" Li Shu has been rich since he was a child, and he thinks that as long as he takes money to smash it, he is afraid that he will not be able to recruit people to form a caravan?
"We can use money to smash people, but why spend that unjust money and attract a bunch of people who may have problems with their character?" Li Qianqian faced Li Shu's wealth and wealth, and deeply felt the sense of powerlessness that the eldest brother faced himself back then!
She carefully considered her words, "If you can hire someone with good character at a reasonable salary, you won't have to spend too much effort on it in the future." ”
Li Shu and Lan Hai exchanged glances, "Okay, according to what you said, if you want to take care of this matter, how to take care of it?"
Li Qianqian really wanted to roll her eyes and stare at people, and the co-author was testing her just now?
"Girl?" Li Shu reminded her.
Li Qianqian said, "Report to the official and hand it over to the government to handle it, the fugitive slave steals the master's property, and the government has to take over, right?"
As for how this money came from, how could the helmsman Xu have this money, and how it fell into the hands of the wife of the helmsman Xu, Li Qianqian didn't care.
Li Shu and Lan Hai nodded with satisfaction, and asked Jin Yi to explain to someone.
In Zhenjiang City, the steward who received Liu Er's notice took someone to the inn to see Mrs. Xu Fen Helmsman.
It has been nearly half a month since the incident, and Mrs. Xu Fenrud's wife has lost a lot of weight, her eyes are dark and blue, and her expression is a little sluggish.
Seeing that the sect leader sent two servant women, I was very unhappy, their mother and daughter came all the way, and when they encountered such a big thing, the sect leader did not say that he was in person, but he also sent a cronie to care! Why did he send two servant women?
She didn't know that the sect leader originally planned to let Jin Yi go in person, or send Liu Er!
"If my cousin wants to marry Miss Xu San as his wife, then send Jinyi or Liu Erducheng, if you don't want to marry her, then it's better to send someone else. ”
"Oh?" In fact, as soon as she opened her mouth, Li Shu figured it out, but she still had to ask Li Qianqian, and she must say that she was ugly from her mouth.
Li Qianqian once again suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "If the family members of the four elders encounter this kind of thing, it makes perfect sense for you to send your cronies to help." Although she felt that the families of the four elders should not encounter such a thing.
"Xu Fenrud's family is in trouble, you send Jin Yi or Liu Er to go, don't talk about others, Xu Fen Helm and his wife are afraid to think more, besides, Xu Fenrud's wife is a woman, you send a man, in front of them, she is embarrassed to say?
"Who is that to send?"
Naturally, it is Fang's mother who stayed behind in Li Qianqian's courtyard, and Yan's mother in Lantang Courtyard!
Mother Yan and Mother Fang are not good speakers, but because of this, they can make Mrs. Xu Fenru let down her guard, and began to complain with a handful of snot and tears, and peeked at the two of them from time to time, hoping that they could go back to tell the sect leader in the situation of her mother and daughter, it is best to arouse the sect leader's pity and cherishing the jade, and then welcome her daughter into the door.
Mother Yan listened to her repeating the same words, it was useless to track down the evil slave, and couldn't help but signal to a maid who accompanied them, but the ordinary-looking maid had a pair of flexible eyes, and when she saw this, she quietly turned out, and she went to talk to the maid and servant woman of the lord of Xu Fen.
After a while, she let her inquire that not only Fang's mother, who was suspected of running away with the money, was missing that day, but also a third-class maid named Xiaojuan in the third lady's house.
"That Xiaojuan and Fang's mother are familiar with each other?"
Xia Lian didn't know why, thought about it for a while, and finally shook her head and said she didn't know.
In the end, I asked for some information from Ke's mother.
Fang's mother is Gao's cronies, but she is not a child, Gao's mother's family is low, and the family that came to give birth to a child, Ke's mother was bought back after she got married, and Fang's mother was the daughter-in-law of the Xu family's original housekeeper, but she has not been used, and after she entered the door, she took the initiative to attach herself.
"Xiaojuan, this maid!" After many years, Ke's mother really couldn't think of it, "She seems to be a relative of the third lady's nurse's family, and when she was able to enter the door to wait for the third lady, it seems that she was going through the door of the nurse." ”
The third lady Xu Fanghui's nurse is old, so she didn't come with her this time and stayed in Beijing.
Mother Yan and the two were relatively helpless, "So you don't know, did Xiaojuan leave with Fang's mother, or was she kidnapped?"
As soon as this speculation was uttered, the originally dull atmosphere in the room suddenly dissipated, and was replaced by laughter from everyone.
"Xiaojuan is just a little girl, it's not worth a lot of money to take her away!" everyone was discussing.
Mother Yan waited for them to come to an end before she spoke, "So she shouldn't have been kidnapped, but walked with Mother Fang?"
"But the two of them don't know each other, how can they leave together?"
"Who said they didn't know each other? Xiaojuan's mother and Fang's mother are cousins!" said a rough envoy beside Xu Fanghui.
"Is that true?"
The mother-in-law nodded, "Seriously, seriously." The mother-in-law continued to break the news, "And Mother Fang and Miss Sun are very familiar with Caiyue, every time Miss Sun comes to divide the rudder, Mother Fang will go to find Caiyue." ”
"Ah, Caiyue is Fang's mother's daughter, don't you know?" The black-faced woman who had been leaning against the corner and napping suddenly interjected.
"What?" Caiyue is Mother Fang's daughter? Doesn't it mean that Mother Fang is useless? If that's the case, then how could her daughter be an errand by He Yanyan's side?
Mother Fang, it's useless!
It's just that whose person is Mother Fang? Is it the helmsman's? Or is it the lady in front of her? Or is it the eldest young master's person? No, her daughter is on an errand next to the eldest lady's daughter, is Mother Fang the eldest lady's person?
Ke's mother had a headache thinking about it.
Xia Lian and a few maids thought about it carefully, and they were also afraid.
Mother Yan said in her heart, where there are really people, there are disputes! In a small inner house, it is so complicated, she glanced at Fang's mother, and saw that she was tilting her head to look at people, and couldn't help but follow her line of sight, it was Miss Xu San who came.
Xu Fanghui is no longer in a high-pitched mood when she first came out of Beijing, but is a little low, walking with her feet dragged, her eyes lowered and not approaching people.
"I've seen Miss Xu San. ”
Xu Fanghui was taken aback, looking at Mother Yan and the two of them in a daze, it was still the maid next to her who grabbed her, "Miss, they are mothers sent by the sect leader." ”
Xia Lian hurriedly stepped forward to introduce the two of them, and Xu Fanghui knew that the sect leader had sent these two servant women to deal with the difficulties encountered by her family.
Why didn't you send them here? When the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them again.
Mother Yan asked Xu Fanghui a lot of questions with a smile, and then got up to say goodbye.
It wasn't until she left the inn that Fang's mother said, "Fortunately, it was the two of us who came, otherwise, that young lady would definitely have to think of going elsewhere." ”
Mother Yan nodded, boarded the carriage together, and said to the steward when she went back, and the steward nodded, "I know, the two mothers have worked hard, and we will deal with the next thing." ”
Mother Yan asked, "When will our young lady come back?"
The steward shook his head, "I don't know about this, anyway, I'll come back when I'm done." ”
"Shouldn't they come back until the mother and daughter are gone?" When the mother and daughter of the Xu family first came to Zhenjiang City, there was a bit of a big trouble, so everyone in the house knew that Miss Xu San wanted to marry their father as a wife, but the master was not interesting to her, and she happened to be busy with something, so she simply didn't come back to live.
"This is not necessarily, they are busy!" Maybe the mother and daughter were taken back to Beijing, and the sect leader hasn't finished their affairs yet, so naturally it is impossible to come back!
Yan's mother and mother were relatively speechless.
The two of them were panicked! Since they waited beside the master, they were left in the courtyard to guard, and the masters followed the master to the capital, and they all looked forward to the masters coming back as soon as possible, but they didn't expect to come back with great difficulty, but they didn't enter the door, and went to Jiangxian City, and this stay was more than a month.
In fact, it was not only the two of them who were panicked, but Su Yue was even more panicked.
The mothers have all been married, and when Li Qianqian and them come back, they will be the daughters-in-law in charge, and they will be able to wait until they make a big mistake, and they may be able to follow them to their uncle's house in the future.
But they are different as maids, they are older than a year, they always have to get married, if they marry outside, then they will break off the relationship with the house, if they marry the housekeeper or the little servant, they want to come back to wait, but it is not an easy thing.
If they have been waiting for the young lady since they were children, and their feelings are different, even if they get married in the future, they can still go into the house and ask the young lady to raise her hand to help, but they are not! And if the two young ladies don't come back, how can they cultivate a relationship with the two young ladies!
Therefore, as soon as they seized the opportunity, a few maids rushed to the steward, wanting to inquire about the whereabouts of the young ladies, while thinking in their hearts that if the three of them were sick or injured in Chunjiang, it would be the best, so that they would have a chance to come out!
Unfortunately, they have not been able to do so.
The steward didn't know what was going on with these maids and the two mothers, and took Li Shu's name post to the government to complain to the evil servant for bullying the master, and the county magistrate of Qujiang County was shocked to see that it was the name of the head of the Ruiyao Sect, and hurriedly asked the official to ask the steward to enter.
The steward was not polite, and explained the matter clearly in a few words, and the county magistrate of Qujiang County did not dare to slack off, and quickly arrested Fang's mother and Xiaojuan.
The officials didn't dare to be greedy for ink, so they honestly handed over all the property they carried, and after counting, they found that the Gao family had not bought it before, but Xu Fanghui bought the set of noodles.
When the mother and daughter of the Xu family learned of this, they hurriedly went to count their belongings and jewelry, only to find that all the jewelry they bought in Zhenjiang City was gone, and even the jewelry they brought was missing several pieces.
Gao was so angry that his teeth itched, and Xu Fanghui clamored to go to the yamen to tear Xiaojuan.
"It was she, she was the one who told me that the reason why the sect leader left Beijing in a hurry must have been moved by me! Xu Fanghui cried a handful of tears and snot, Gao heard that the reason why Fang Zhi's daughter was clamoring to come to find the sect leader was all instigated by the maid, and she was so angry that she jumped to her feet, and when she knew that Fang's mother and Xiaojuan were relatives, and Fang's mother's daughter was He Yuyan's maid, she immediately figured it out!
Are they co-authored by someone else?
"What do I have with them that made them start calculating me so many years ago?"
The next day, Gao asked the steward to take her to see Fang's mother, "You have to let me figure out, who the enemy is, right?"
The steward had no choice but to check up and down, and then take her to see Fang's mother.
Fang's mother sat in the cell with a depressed face, and when she saw her coming, she only lowered her eyelids, and she did not have the appearance of groveling and pleasing herself in the past.
"Who is your master?" Gao asked in a loud voice.
"Madame, can't you be the master of the slave family?" Fang's mother chuckled.
In terms of scheming, the ten Gao clans are no match for Fang's mother, Fang's mother is already shrewd, and she has been by Gao's side for more than ten years, so she knows this hostess the most.
"Madame, you don't have to ask. ”
"Aren't you worried about your daughter?" Gao suddenly thought of Fang's mother's daughter, and immediately threatened her.
Unexpectedly, Fang's mother scoffed, "Madame is really nonsense, although Miss Sun is your granddaughter in name, but her grandfather is the second elder, do you think that the second elder will allow you to put your hand next to Miss Sun?"
"You!"
"Besides, that money belongs to the second elder, madam, you are a thief and shout to catch a thief!"
Gao was dazzled by anger, and finally returned home.
Liu Er took the news back and forth, but Li Shu refused, "Take it and hand it over to Qianqian, and she will deal with this matter." ”
Li Qianqian, who was speechless, looked at Liu Er, "Can you not pick it up?"
Liu Er looked at her sympathetically, "I'm afraid not." ”
After a long sigh, he stretched out his hand to take the message that had just arrived, "Oh, Lord Xu has finally decided on his daughter's marriage? Fang's mother and Xiaojuan have been arrested!"
"Jinyi, who do you say this mother is?" Li Qianqian gossiped and couldn't help asking.
"No matter who it is, they don't want to see the helmsman Xu have a good time. (To be continued.) )
