Mama Zhou looked at the chair on the painting seriously, and said, "This kind of chair is good, there are armrests on both sides, it is more comfortable than the lamp hanging chair, Mrs. Tai will definitely like it,"

The chairs used in this year are the same as those of the Tang Dynasty, most of them are Hu chairs, and this lamp hanging chair is a kind of backrest chair, which is also a Hu chair. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Mama, do you know which carpenter in the county is more powerful?" asked Shi Niang with a side face.

Mama Zhou thought for a while and said, "This, the old slave is not very familiar with it, if you don't ask Steward Xu, he knows better." ”

"Okay, Mama, you go and help me ask," After thinking about it, Eleven Niang said again: "Anyway, it's all about Steward Xu, Mama, you talk to Steward Xu, and you have time to help me measure the size of the most comfortable chair in my grandmother's room, such as this and this-" Eleven Niang compared the painting, Mama Zhou understood, and said, "Okay, the old slave will go to Steward Xu to talk about this later." ”

Mama Zhou went to find Steward Xu according to Shi Niang's instructions, but Steward Xu was not available, Xu Boyan only heard the rumors of the sinking of the Shangyuan today, and immediately panicked, and he hurriedly went to his mother to discuss.

I heard that my son actually borrowed 30,000 taels of silver from the Li Mansion behind his back, and the interest was still three cents, that is to say, a year later, they would repay the Li Mansion 39,000 taels with interest.

Mrs. Xu was immediately furious, she picked up the cup on the table and threw it directly at Xu Boyan, and scolded in her mouth: "Your wings have grown stiff! You have the ability! What did I tell you before? Is our family that is the kind of rich family? You have sold your entire family and all the people in your family, and you can't make up this number, and you dare to borrow it outside!"

"Mother, mother, my son won't dare next time!" Xu Boyan knelt on the ground and didn't dare to lie up, so he could only beg his mother for forgiveness.

"Next time? this time will make our family finished, do you still want to have a next time! Even if there is, it is impossible!" Mrs. Xu was so angry that she kept spinning in circles, and her mouth kept scolding.

"Mother, mother, it's my son's fault!"

Mrs. Xu was so angry that she kicked him and said angrily: "When you borrowed this money, did you think about your son? Did you think about your wife? Did you think about me? Have you thought about the whole house?"

"You are the son of the sect! The son of the sect! You are the backbone of this family! But what have you done, the son of the sect? Obviously I don't agree with something, but you are acting against the yin! You, you are really angry with me!" After saying this, Mrs. Xu fell weakly on the chair, and Steward Xu and Mama Yu hurriedly went up to support Mrs. Xu: "Mrs. Tai! Mrs. Tai!"

Mrs. Xu was helped by them to sit on the chair, and Mama Yu touched her back to give her a good breath, and persuaded: "Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai, if you want to open something, don't be angry with yourself." ”

After Mrs. Xu smoothed down that breath, she pointed at Xu Boyan and said, "Get out, go down and reflect on me, don't make me angry in front of me!"

"Mother, mother, it's all the son's fault, the son is really wrong!" Xu Boyan knelt and walked over, wanting to continue to pray for his mother's forgiveness, Mrs. Xu said angrily to him: "Get out!

Steward Xu on the side immediately stepped forward and persuaded Xu Boyan: "Master, you better go down first, and come back when Mrs. Tai is out of breath!"

Xu Boyan went down at this time.

After he left, Mrs. Xu couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

Mama Zhou happened to bump into it at this time, and when she saw Xu Boyan who was embarrassed, she immediately lowered her head and retreated like other maids, not even daring to gasp loudly.

After Xu Boyan walked away, Mama Zhou found Xiaoxi, the maid at the door, to send a message to Steward Xu, and after waiting for a long time, Steward Xu frowned.

Seeing Steward Xu's expression, Mama Zhou knew that she had found the wrong time, so she could only say, "Steward Xu, have you been free lately? I have a little matter that I want to trouble you." ”

"If you're not in a hurry, wait until next time, Mrs. Tai has explained a lot of things to me just now, and I'm going to do it right away." Steward Xu thought of what happened before, and said with annoyance.

"Don't worry, then Steward Xu, you are busy with your business first, and I will come back next time. Mama Zhou gave a blessing, and then withdrew.

Mama Zhou returned to the summer garden, and immediately told Shi Niang what had just happened, and finally added: "Miss, it may be that Mrs. Tai is so angry when she knows about the eldest master borrowing money outside." ”

Eleven Niang nodded and said, "I guess too." ”

Eleven Niang paced around the room twice, then stopped and asked Mama Zhou, "Mama, are we very poor in the house?"

Otherwise, why can't you even take out 30,000 taels?

Mama Zhou looked at Eleven Niang and said: "Actually, the slave doesn't know much about the situation in the house, but he feels that the house has become poorer and poorer in the past few years.

"And what?" Eleven Niang looked at Mama Zhou and asked.

Mama Zhou thought about it, and still said to Eleven Niang truthfully: "And even the second master has converged, it turns out that the second master is always taking credit outside, but in the past two years, very few people have come to collect the accounts." ”

In other words, even the second uncle knew that the family was poor.

"Mama, do you know why this is happening?" Eleven Niang has only been in this family for two years, and she has been in the first year of enlightenment, and she is only reinvigorated now, so she doesn't know anything about the previous things in this family.

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard Mama Li say that the Li Mansion once wanted to buy our mansion's silk village and silk reeling factory, but was rejected by Mrs. Tai. Mama Zhou replied.

Shi Niang sat down on the couch and said, "The silk village and the silk reeling factory are the main sources of income for our family, and if I were my grandmother, I would also refuse the Li Mansion." ”

But since then, the economic situation of the Xu Mansion has not been good, and Mama Li also inquired that the silk village now has a backlog of fabrics, and it can't be sold. ”

"Huh, why is this happening?"

"The Li family is the largest buyer of cloth in Shangyuan County, and he refuses to buy our family's cloth. Mama Zhou said.

"If the Li family doesn't buy it, we can sell it to someone else's house, Mama, is it possible that others won't buy it either?"

Mama Zhou said: "The Li family is the largest silkworm cocoon buyer and the strongest silk merchant in Shangyuan County, he said outside that the quality of the cloth in our Xu Ji Silk Village is not good, who else will come to us to buy it?"

So this is the reason, if you can't buy it by force, you will compete viciously, this Li Mansion is really disgusting!

"This year is a little better, at the beginning of autumn, it was the second master who took the cloth to other cities to sell, so he made some money, otherwise, the backlog of cloth can not even be put in the warehouse, I also heard that the silk reeling factory is now on holiday, so that the workers will come back after the year, we are all thinking about whether Mrs. Tai is going to dissolve the silk reeling factory. ”

No wonder he hasn't seen his second uncle in the past few months, it turns out that he went out to sell cloth.

Eleven Niang sat on the couch, her hand kept knocking on the table, it seems that this family is really strong outside! She has seen a lot of rich people in her previous life, and it seems to be beautiful on the surface, but in fact, she has been in debt for many years in private.

This home, alas!
