Chapter 120: Digging Old Corners
Yu Dana and Ye Feitian both knew that Qiao Lan's surname Qiao was taken from her father-in-law, but they didn't know it, following Qiao Lan's words just now, Ye Feitian asked, "What is the name of the master's benefactor, do you need me to let people inquire, maybe I can find it?"
"His name is ......" Qiao Lan's thoughts had a trace of trance, and the figure as majestic as a mountain flashed in her mind, "Qiao Yan!" Qiao Lan's emotions suddenly fell to the bottom because of the name "Qiao Yan", obviously, this is a sad story.
"...... back then" Ye Feitian still wanted to ask more about the past, but when he saw that Qiao Lan's mood was not right, he decisively closed his voice.
"There is only one name, the world is big, the sea of people is vast, how easy it is to find someone...... "I should never see it again, Dad, and ...... Grandfather!
The nose was sour, she calmed down, and then pressed the tears back to the bottom of her heart, and when she looked at Ye Feitian again, the sadness on her face did not dissipate, "Don't mention this, if you have a fate, you will see you again." The two of you have a total of things to do about running the school. Yu Dana also has to take charge of the construction of the house on the west bank, so this matter is left to you, you take care of your injuries first, and see when you come up with the charter to me. ”
At this point, the issue is more or less discussed. Qiao Lan left the front yard and returned to the small building in her backyard.
Early the next morning, Qiao Lan practiced boxing a few times, and she felt that she probably didn't have any talent for martial arts. She was a little discouraged, and the reason why she was still insisting was because she thought that she couldn't practice martial arts, and it was not bad to be able to strengthen her body.
She still wants to go to the West Bank today, but step out of the backyard. I saw Yu Dana respectfully waiting at the door. He had always been an early riser, and at this time of year, he had already gone out.
"Master, I would like to ask you to meet someone. ”
"So solemn, who?"
"The former account room of Huang Yuanwai's house, Guo Changlin!"
Qiao Lan had already instructed Yu Dana to find a suitable accounting room, but he never followed, and unexpectedly, he went to dig the old corner of Huang Yuanwai.
"Why is this person so rare to recruit you?"
"Honest enough!"
People, Yu Dana has been invited to Qiao's house. It's right in the front yard.
When Qiao Lan walked out with him. He talked about Guo Changlin by the way.
Guo Changlin, 45 years old, is from Taohua Village and is a fellow villager with Yu Dana. Two years ago, he was the general ledger of Huang Yuanwai's family. Huang Yuanwai's concubine Li Xiaolian wants to pull her people to work in the account room. Guo Changlin did not agree. Therefore, he offended Li Xiaolian. Li Xiaolian made a drama to frame Guo Changlin for adultery, which was an obvious frame-up. But Huang Yuanwai still obeyed his concubine's heart and terminated the long-term contract with Guo Changlin.
The work is lost, but the reputation is like a flood that bursts the embankment, and it can never be recovered. Guo Changlin's wife was not in good health, and she couldn't stand it for a while, so she died.
Guo Changlin's son Guo Wangding is also in the Huang family, doing a small housekeeper, in order to keep his errand, he directly surrendered to Li Xiaolian.
The gloomy Guo Changlin returned to Peach Blossom Village, nested in a dilapidated thatched hut, and stayed for two years.
Yu Dana understood Guo Changlin's temperament, so he wanted to invite him to Qiao's house to be an accountant. Guo Changlin's heart was like ashes, and he didn't want to go out of the mountain again, but Yu Dana went back and forth four times in order to invite him......
"Yo, you have more than three visits to the thatched house!" Qiao Lan teased, "Then I have to go and see if the one you invited me is Zhuge Liang." ”
Yu Dana was puzzled, "Zhuge Liang is?"
"But a wise man who lived on the mountain took a fancy to him, and wanted to ask him to be a counselor, and he went three times before he was invited down the mountain. Qiao Lan paused for a moment and added, "I saw the story in a script. ”
"I am ashamed of the master's breadth of knowledge......"
"Ouch, don't say such sour things to me. However, this Guo Changlin used to work as a long-term worker in the Huang family, and he was willing to sign a death contract with the Qiao family?"
"I mentioned it to him, and he agreed?"
While speaking, Qiao Lan and Yu Da went to the front yard. There is only one row of houses in the front yard, twelve rooms of all sizes, and Yu Dana occupies one suite. When I entered, the gem was already waiting inside. Yu Dana has always been careful not to let Qiao Lan be alone with the man.
Guo Changlin's figure is very similar to Yu Dana before, tall and thin. It's just that now Yu Dana's meat has been raised, and he has become a beautiful uncle with a standard physique.
Guo Changlin said very little, but he was not wooden, and in the face of Qiao Lan, he could not be humble or silent. He also had an abacus in his hand that looked a bit historical.
Qiao Lan naturally trusted Yu Dana, and the person he fancied should not be far behind. So she said some numbers at random, and asked him to add and subtract them with the abacus, and watched his five fingers quickly pull on the abacus, and knew that this person still had two strokes.
After a short time, she accepted Guo Changlin's deed of sale, and the rest was arranged by Yu Dana.
Before going out, she retreated and took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels and gave it to Yu Dana, which was the deposit for the spicy cabbage given by the Fang family, so that he could do it later.
At the same time, the people of the Chen family, who were supposed to act yesterday, finally dispatched, Chen Shenggui went to the West Bank, Chen Shengrong and Chen Laohan went to the town, and Chen Shengfu and Chen Shengli went to Qiao's house.
When Chen Shengfu and Chen Shengli went to Qiao's house to ask to see Chen Yueya, Qiao Lan happened to come out of Yu Dana's house.
Qiao Lan didn't let Chen Yueya know, but asked Yang Cong to reply directly that Qiao Gongzi would not let him see him.
Outside the door, Chen Shengfu listened to Yang Onion's reply, and secretly hated, his face was pale, and he asked in a suppressed voice, "Little sister, didn't you say that Ya'er was willing to see you?"
"I guess it's because you're there. Chen Shengli has a soft temperament and rarely gets into trouble with others, but in the past two days, Chen Shengfu's behavior is really disappointing, and she is as gentle as she is extremely dissatisfied with Chen Shengfu.
"You !!" Chen Shengfu couldn't believe it, Chen Shengli had never said such harsh things to people.
"......" Chen Shengli put aside his face and didn't look at Chen Shengfu. What she said just now was just telling the truth, Chen Yueya had something she didn't tell her family: You can come, but don't bring anyone else, I don't like it. "Third brother, let's go to the town to see the third brother. ”
"Hmph!" Chen Shengfu ignored Chen Shengli and did not move.
Time. The two siblings stopped talking, and were stunned outside the door of Qiao's house.
Yu Dana and Guo Changlin spent a morning sorting out the accounts of the Qiao family in the past few months, and after making a new account book, he took Guo Changlin to the backyard.
In the study, Qiao Lan listened to Yu Dana's summary while flipping through the account book......
After explaining everything, Qiao Lan handed over the account book and money box to Guo Changlin, and the Qiao family's accounts were handed over to Guo Changlin.
After Guo Changlin took the money box and account book, he said with a glance, "Master." According to the previous accounts of the Qiao family. The servant suggested that two permissions of five hundred taels and one thousand taels be set up respectively, and that the seal of Chief Manager Yu could be raised for five hundred taels, and anyone who wanted to extract one thousand taels would need the master's seal. ”
"Seal?!" Qiao Lan remembered. The ancients except for pressing mudras. Seals are also used. "That's how it should be, but the limit of five hundred taels is too low, and Manager Yu's seal can be raised for one thousand taels. My seal is 5,000 taels, and 10,000 taels need the seals of me and Mr. Yu. ”
"Yes!" Guo Changlin said respectfully, "Later, I will draw up a more detailed charter for the master's reference." Master, can you give me the appearance of your seal? ”
"Uh, this ......" Qiao Lan was stunned for a moment, she didn't have a seal at all, okay! ”
Before noon, Cheng Fatzi and Zhang Niangzi returned to Qiao's house, and the two went to Qiao Lan for the first time to resume their lives.
"Feng Gongzi is back?"
"Feng Gongzi is still on the Yang family's big Zhuangzi, and the slave came back with Steward Tong. ”
"Go down and rest. ”
After sending the two away, Qiao Lan asked Jewel to follow her, and then got up and walked out.
"Master, but do you want to prepare a car?" Before Ye Feitian got better, Ye Feimo took his place and became Qiao Lan's personal guard.
"No, just go to the Yang Mansion opposite. ”
Chen Shengfu and Chen Shengli have been guarding the door of Qiao's house and have never left. Cold, there was a sound in the door, and then the closed vermilion door opened, and Qiao Lan walked out with someone.
Chen Shengli, as the most silent and attentive person in the Chen family, was not as cold to Chen Yuehe as others, so that she felt inexplicably familiar with Qiao Lan at first sight, but Chen Shengfu stepped forward and accidentally bumped into her, dispelling her inexplicability.
"Qiao Gongzi, I'm Chen Shengfu, not long ago, we also met. Thanks to your kindness, my wife and daughter and I can see each other. Chen Shengfu avoided the important and trivialized, and never mentioned that he had offended the Qiao family.
Qiao Lan's steps did not hesitate to walk towards the opposite door, and Ye Feimo walked beside her, helping her block Chen Shengfu's entanglement. Wang Xiao on the opposite side had already opened the door of the Yang family quickly under the instructions of Zhou Changle. Zhou Changle also just came back, and as soon as he came back, he went to the door to gossip with Wang Xiao and inquire about the other door.
Zhou Changle personally waited for Qiao Lan inside the door, "Young Master Qiao, my young master is not here." ”
Qiao Lan was not polite, Shi Shiran walked in the door, "Hmm!
"Are you looking for Steward Tong? Zhou Changle took Qiao Lan to see Steward Tong, and at the same time curiously asked Qiao Lan what was going on, but Qiao Lan smiled silently.
Steward Tong was sitting upright drinking tea and resting, and his servant came in and reported that Zhou Changle had brought Qiao Gongzi over. Zhou Changle always cares about it like this, and is not informal, but fortunately his demeanor is quite thoughtful, otherwise he would lose his etiquette.
Qiao Lan exchanged a few words with Steward Tong, knowing that he had just come back, and it was inconvenient to disturb him more, so she went straight to the point and asked about the fact that there were three shops for her to send.
Steward Tong had already realized that Qiao Lan was not simple, and when she took the initiative to mention the three shops, she immediately became interested and was busy introducing the three shops in Lishan County.
"Is there anything in Wuli Town?" Qiao Lan didn't want Chen Shengli and Wugazi to have a "long-distance relationship", distance not only produces beauty, but also produces a third party. What she didn't expect was that even if there was no distance, a third party would still appear when it was time to appear.
"Yes, but it's just two small grocery stores. ”
"It's okay, can you help me arrange an errand for one person. ”
"So ......" Steward Tong was a little disappointed, but it didn't show on his old face, "I don't know who it is, but Young Master Lao Qiao himself spoke." ”
"Daqing Mountain Wugazi. It's not an important person, just a random errand. I hope not to let people know that I'm getting involved, though. ”
"Okay, it's a trifle. ”
After saying something, Qiao Lan didn't stay long, so she said goodbye and went home. From Yang's house to Qiao's house, Chen Shengfu didn't want to die, and followed all the way, saying something about what he didn't have, but naturally no one paid attention to him.
