Chapter Seventy-Three: The Descendant

The news of Qin Bai's marquis soon spread throughout the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoEven Qin Bofu in the second room decided to change his previous attitude towards the third room, not to mention others.

In the past, Qin Bai's subordinates and their families who had served him, as well as the dowry and room companions brought by Qin Bai's mother, Mrs. Ye, and the lineage that she had reused when she was the head of the house, etc., are now quite complicated.

Because these people have a close relationship with Qin Bai's mother and son, they don't like Qin Song, and they haven't mixed well in the past thirty years. The decent vacancies in the courtyards of the masters of the long house will definitely not be their turn, and there are good positions in the outer courtyard that do not have their share. In the end, under the name of the Hou Mansion, food and clothing can be guaranteed, so that they will not starve to death. But if you don't have a good position, you can't get into the house as an errand boy, and you can't get out after all. Among them, those who have better conditions will try their best to give money and gifts to those who can manage things, to please the wife of Chengenhou Xu, so as to find an errand that cannot be improved. Although Qin Song hated them, the Xu clan was still fair and willing to give them a chance, so they wouldn't be unable to eat. But many of the stewards had to look at Qin Song's face, so these people were also not doing very well. The highest position, that is, to be the second manager of a certain grange, can produce a third-class girl in Tingyuxuan among the girls, which is good.

As for those whose own conditions are average, or who have no money or things, and can't go to the relationship, they can only be idle at home, relying on occasional rough chores, and female dependents helping people do laundry, doing some needlework to sell, so as to earn some silver and make their lives a little better.

As soon as Uncle Hu returned to the Chengenhou Mansion, he began to contact them, wanting to add some reliable and useful subordinates to the third room. At that time, everyone was also moved, feeling that they finally had a chance to come out.

But when they calmed down, they began to hesitate again. The three-room Qin Bai is of course the old owner, but he has been gone for thirty years, and he has not heard from him, and he doesn't know what his net worth is now. The third wife, Niu, is even more unfamiliar to them, and I heard that she is a village woman with a pungent personality! How will such a housewife take care of the house? Will she treat them well? Sanfang doesn't know if she has any property, if she is all supported by the head of the Chengenhou Mansion, then the money is not loose. If you really vote for the old master, you may have the opportunity to get a decent errand, but if the old master has no money, they don't even have the opportunity to do rough work occasionally and do needlework in their spare time, so it is better to continue to be idle at home!

As for those who have errands now, they are even more worried that they will not be as good as they are now.

Therefore, everyone began to take a wait-and-see attitude, and they were not enthusiastic about Uncle Hu's invitation, only a few rooms were really poor, and there was no other way out, and the subordinates were willing to enter the Qingfeng Pavilion. Anyway, there is only one step in the Qingfeng Pavilion, and there are few masters in the third room, so there are not a few people in the first place. With a few of them, that's enough.

Uncle Tiger was very angry about this, and felt a little shameless. It was he who advocated the use of these old people in front of Qin Bai, and it was he who made a package ticket, saying that he would find a few reliable and capable people for Sanfang, but the performance of these people slapped him in the face too much. Although a few people are quite positive, there are few who stand out. He even felt that although these people were the sons of the Hou family, in terms of words, deeds, and skills, I was afraid that they were not as good as the village women and villagers used in the Qin family's mansion over there, so how could this be used? Uncle Hu could only try his best to lobby the family members he was optimistic about, and seeing that Qin Bai and the Niu family were not very hostile to the long house, he paid attention by the way, and the idle family children under the name of the long house were not as good as the seedlings, but they took a fancy to a few, and they were barely usable. However, these people still need to be trained, so things are delayed.

Now that Qin Bai is the marquis, the situation is completely different. Those who watched on the sidelines immediately regretted it and their hearts surged. This is a good opportunity! The third master has a knighthood and a new marquis mansion given by the emperor, so where can't he accommodate these dozens of people? Working in a serious marquis mansion is both decent and beautiful. They are still old servants for many years, and they have a love of incense, and it is easy to find a better position. It's a pity, why did they hesitate in the first place? If they had voted for the third room early, and now they have won the third room, they will naturally follow the chicken and dog to heaven. But they didn't agree to Uncle Hu's invitation at the beginning, and now they are rushing to curry favor, which is inevitably too snobbish, and they are afraid that the master will not like it in their hearts when they look at it. There may be a position, but this is discounted.

It doesn't matter if it's discounted, it's better to have a good or bad messenger than nothing. They have also waited for the old lady and the third master. The third master is beautiful, they should follow the light, there is no reason to suffer for the master for many years, and in the end, the benefits are cheaper than irrelevant outsiders.

So everyone connected in a row, and decided to go to Qingfeng Pavilion together, say hello to the third master Qin Bai, and by the way, please a few words in front of the third wife Niu. Then they can go to the Tiger Uncle, recount the old friendships, find a plausible excuse for the previous indifference, and then they can mention the matter of the messenger. Uncle Tiger persuaded them for a few days, and he must be glad to see them relent. Even if their behavior seems snobbish? They are more reliable than others. The owners of the three rooms can also rest assured that they can use it.

Everyone hurriedly rushed to the Qingfeng Pavilion, and entered the West Gate from Xiqingyun Lane, which was the closest to the entrance of the Qingfeng Pavilion, and would not alarm the others in the house. Who knew that when they walked out of the west gate, the door of the Qingfeng Pavilion was already full of guests. It turned out that they were unwilling in the Chengenhou Mansion, and the news was slower. Not long after the Holy Decree arrived at the Hou Mansion, many people got the news. When the people in the third room returned to the Seifukan, there were already people outside the door who had come to congratulate them. No one is a fool, the good errand in the Cheng'en Hou Mansion is that there are more monks and less porridge, and it is rare that there is now another Hou Mansion, and he is the master of the family, and now he has a thigh and does not hug it, is it difficult to miss this great opportunity?

As a result, a group of old servants could only look at the people who came and went in front of the Qingfeng Pavilion. One person said: "Ah, isn't that Chen Fatzi? He is his wife's companion, and there is never a shortage of good messengers, but he is only idle because he made a mistake a year later and was driven home." It's only been less than three months, how can he be embarrassed to come here to talk to our third master?" "This is a competitor at the level of a manager, and it should not be underestimated!"

Another said, "Damn! That seems to be the woman and daughter of the Li family." I heard that the granddaughter of our third master is now eight years old, and she lives in Mingyuewu, and she is about to pick a girl. They are going for this good errand, right? We also have daughters, how can we cheapen these outsiders? When I wanted to find the errand I am doing now, I was not less rubbed by the Li brothers. What did they say at that time? The third master is already dead, and he can't shelter us anymore? What a damn thing! When they say such things, the women of their family have the face to come up!"

Another person recognized an acquaintance: "Ah, that's Lao Zhang and the two boys of his family." I remember that during the Chinese New Year, Lao Zhang once said that he would send his two sons to Brother Xun of the uncle's family and Brother Shun of the third master's family to be small servants. What are they doing now in Qingfeng Pavilion again? Could it be that they have taken a fancy to the position next to the grandson of the third master of our family? They think well, the elder brother of the eldest family and the third master's family are all concubines, and they will not have much interest in the future, but the grandson of the third master is not only a serious heir, but also very favored. Being able to wait by this little brother's side is needless to say about his future future. The abacus is so loud, it can be seen that Lao Zhang is not as honest as he is usual......"

Everyone talked about it for a while, and they all felt that they had to speed up their pace. You can't ask outsiders to take the lead. So they were going to go up, planning to squeeze into the Qingfeng Pavilion to look for Uncle Hu, and they couldn't help but see a small guy poking his head in at the door of the Qingfeng Pavilion. The first one named Xu Yingnian opened his mouth to reprimand: "Where are you a little guy, why are you blocking the way here?"

The little servant looked back at him a few times, and saw that he and his companions were all looking a little naΓ―ve and dressed in ordinary clothes, so he guessed that they were undesirable subordinates in the house, and pouted his lips contemptuously, and said, "What are you doing?" and did not let go of the way, but still looked in by the door.

Xu Yingnian couldn't help but get angry, but he recognized the identity of this little guy at this time, and he didn't dare to offend, so he could only ignore him, and called out to Uncle Hu in the door: "Mohu, let's say hello to the third master." Uncle Tiger looked back, sighed, and walked to the door.

The little guy's face changed suddenly, his head shrank, he turned around and ran, almost knocking an old man behind Xu Yingnian into a stagger. The latter was so angry that he wanted to scold, but the little guy had already run away, and he was not good at making trouble in front of the Qingfeng Pavilion, so he had to endure it.

Uncle Hu stood on the door and looked at Xu Yingnian and the others: "Can you count it as coming? Have you heard the news? If it weren't for our lord becoming a marquis, please don't move you?"

Xu Yingnian and the others were a little embarrassed: "Good brother, don't be angry." We all have a family, and we can't help but think about more things. We are happy to come and serve the third master, but the family may not think like this, so we have to appease it. We originally thought that when the family settled down, we would be able to come to the third master with confidence, and we never thought of betraying the master!"

Uncle Tiger was noncommittal: "Okay, what are you going to do with so much? I'm also a subordinate, so how can I not know what you're thinking? The third master has always been generous, and he doesn't care about these things. It's just that once you vote for it, you'll have to be honest with me from now on. If you dare to fool me, you can wait and see. I don't have to wait for the master to speak, I'll skin you first! Don't think I'm talking big to scare people. My brother has also been training in the border city for decades, and he has never seen anything? If you think that I am still the soft-hearted and talkative little guy I used to be, and I can be fooled with a few words, then you are wrong!"

Xu Yingnian and the others were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly said, "Don't dare." From now on, I will be faithful to my ministry and do my errands with my heart. ”

Uncle Hu nodded: "Okay, just kowtow in the courtyard." The old lady is tired, tossing for half a day, and it's almost time to eat, and I don't have time to see you one by one. Go back and leave your name for me, I'll call you to come and pick someone another day, forget it today. ”

The crowd did not dare to object, and when they saw that the other people who had come before also kowtowed in the courtyard and left after saying a few good words, they did so one by one. Among them, Xu Yingnian saw a lot of people and left many names, for fear that he would not be able to rank, so he rolled his eyes and decided to add some code to himself.

He pulled Uncle Tiger and whispered, "Good brother, let me tell you something." When I was outside the door, I saw Brother Jian'er's little servant in the long room sneaking out of the door, and I didn't know what to do. The long room has always been not in harmony with our three rooms, and Cheng Enhou has long seen that our old lady and the third master are not pleasing to the eye. Now that the third master has been sealed, he may not be angry, will he call the little maid to keep an eye on our third master and third wife, planning to make it bad? Good brother, you have to be vigilant......

Uncle Tiger frowned. (To be continued.) )
