Chapter 108: The Incident
readx;? In the courtyard of Zhiwu at noon, there was a mysterious silence. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the main room, the magpie stood by the door, his calf throbbing faintly, but he didn't dare to move.
Ho was spinning around on the ground.
"What the hell is going on with Chen Yongcai, didn't he say that he would be able to repay the money in half a month? It's been four or five days, why hasn't there been any movement?"
The magpie has heard this I don't know how many times.
Since the expiration date did not see the money being exchanged, He has to read it several times a day.
The magpie stubbornly said: "Madam, someone has come to the ready-to-wear shop several times, and they said that if you don't give money, you won't give the goods." It's getting colder and colder every day, and every room comes to ask when the winter clothes will be issued, and I'm afraid it will be troublesome if it goes on like this. ”
He sat down with his head in despair.
"Move a little money from the big kitchen to help the emergency, and send the clothes down first. ”
The magpie said: "Madam, you forgot, the money owed to the big kitchen last time hasn't been filled, and someone from the big kitchen has come to ask for it." ”
He Shi had a headache: "Where else is there silver, all of them will be used first." ”
The magpie bowed its head in embarrassment.
He Shi couldn't believe it: "Don't you have a penny? With such a big Qin Mansion and so many expenses, can't you even make up three hundred taels of silver?"
The magpie whispered: "In the past two years, more money has been more and less in, and the silver on the account will be enough, and if you are not careful, you will be stretched, you don't know." When have you ever been rich?"
He Shi was stunned by her rhetorical question, and even forgot to find out the fault of returning the favor.
Isn't that the way of her heart, she is a family member, she looks very beautiful, and she has a lot of oil and water in her hands, but not only has she not earned a penny in the past few years, but she always has to worry about the expenses of the Qin Mansion.
That's why Chen Yongcai matched her this time, and she was so excited and excited.
He Shi felt a pang in his heart and said: "If you go to find Chen Yongcai again, just tell him, if you don't give me an explanation, I will go to the front yard to find him in person." It's a big deal that everyone is making a mess and the net is broken, see if he is unlucky or I am unlucky!"
The magpie trembled and took the order.
After a while, he came back with a white face and said: "Madam, it's not good, Chen Yongcai said that the tea merchant we rented was robbed on the road, and the payment for the goods has not arrived, and the money is not paid!"
"Huh?"
He only felt a pain in his chest, his breathing stagnated, and the person fell to the ground.
After a while, I saw that I was half lying on the bed, and the magpie was crying and red-eyed, and was rubbing my back.
"Madame, are you better? ”
He Shi gasped for a while, and struggled to ask, "Chen Yongcai said that he can't get the money back?"
The magpie cried and nodded: "It is said that the person has run away, and even his fellow countryman is gone." ”
He Shi's eyes were spinning again.
That's when someone knocked on the door outside.
The magpie wiped away his tears and said angrily: "Who knocked on the door outside, didn't you know that Madame was resting?"
I heard the maid outside say: "Sister Magpie, come out and take a look, someone from the ready-to-wear shop said that he was here to ask for money, and said that if he didn't give money, he would go to the eldest master to ask for it." ”
I'm really afraid of anything.
The magpie ran out of ideas and looked at Ho.
He hated to pass out, out of sight and out of mind.
"Go and tell them that tomorrow you must give them silver, so that they can stop making trouble, and send the clothes early tomorrow, and pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. ”
The magpie asked, "Where do we get the money?"
He gritted his teeth and said, "Take my jewelry as a few, and make up enough for them." ”
The magpie nodded in response in a panic and hurriedly went out to reply.
That night it snowed heavily, and then the snow turned to freezing rain, and it was so cold that people could not sleep.
Early the next morning, the gate of Zhiwu Courtyard was smashed, and even the old lady sent someone to ask about the winter clothes.
He Shi held his head and urged the magpie to say, "You go and come back quickly." ”
However, before the magpie returned, the two shops outside came to pay for the goods.
And the men of the great kitchen came and begged for the money they bought.
He was frightened and closed the door, waiting for the magpie to come back with money.
But the magpie brought back only two hundred and fifty taels of silver.
"How can such a large amount of gold jewelry be regarded as such a little?"
The magpie was secretly angry in his heart, and he was still reluctant to give up things at the critical moment, and all he took was hollow gold ornaments, and it was not enough to make up for a trip.
But she didn't dare to say more, so she hung her head and didn't speak.
Ho regretted it in his heart.
I don't know where anyone heard the news, and the matter of He's shortfall in silver spread.
Some people also said that the Qin Mansion had already sat on the empty mountain, and even the winter clothes of the subordinates could not be distributed.
The matter of Ho's arrears of monthly silver was also revealed.
After a while, a few bubbles suddenly appeared at the corners of He's mouth.
When Mrs. Qin heard the news, she called for the He family to come over and ask questions.
When he saw the plaster on He's head, he was startled by a string of fire bubbles at the corner of his mouth, and asked, "What's going on?"
He also knew that the matter could not be covered up, and the old lady was his last savior, covering her face and crying, and told the matter in a secretive way.
"You dare to take the money from the house to lend, you are so bold!"
He cried: "I have earned it before, who would have thought that this time it would be like this." ”
"How much money did you take out?"
Ho was silent.
The old lady slapped the table: "It's all this time, you are still hiding in Tibet, saying, how much money did you take out." ”
He Shi's voice was like a mosquito: "Three, three thousand taels." ”
The old lady was so angry that she threw the cup in her hand at her.
He shrunk her neck, and the cup flew over her head, smashing on the ground, spilling tea on the ground.
He also had tea juice on her face, but she didn't dare to wipe it, crying and falling at the old lady's feet: "Auntie, I was wrong, you have to help me." ”
The old lady said angrily: "Why are you so confused, a lady in charge, embezzling the property of the house, and going to loan sharks." Let those imperial historians know about this, and if you talk about it casually, the future of the third child will have to be ruined by you!"
"You and the third child don't have a deep relationship, if he knows, won't he take you home?
These words poked at the fear in He's heart, and he couldn't help crying loudly.
"Crying, crying, I had a big idea before the accident, and if I had an accident, I would only cry if I had no idea. ”
The old lady looked at her unkempt and embarrassed appearance, and her heart was angry and anxious.
If the Qi family is like this, she will definitely make the Qi family unable to turn over for the rest of her life. But in the final analysis, He was his own niece, and he really made a fuss, and his face was lost.
What's more, there is a third child in the sandwich.
At the beginning, this marriage was said by herself, and the third child did not return after many years in office, she knew in her heart that she was dissatisfied with He's and dissatisfied with herself.
If Qin Han knew about this, wouldn't he slap himself in the face? What face would he have in front of his son in the future?
Old Madam Qin felt as if her head had been put under a tight spell, and she was in pain.
She ripped off her forehead, as if that would rip off the spell. (To be continued.) )
