Chapter 256: What are you doing?
The major events that happened in the court were one after another, but all of this seemed to have nothing to do with the Zhu family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info because the current Zhu family seems to be a family that has fallen so much that it may be inferior even to ordinary people.
The courtiers are always very forgetful, and now very few people remember the Zhu family. But what can still be mentioned in their mouths occasionally is Zhu Hong, a figure who runs Ruyifang, and the courtiers will also be connected with Ruyifang when they mention him.
But here's the problem, Zhu Hong is a member of the Zhu family, but because he left the Zhu family when he was young, people rarely associate with the Zhu family when they think of him, as if he and the Zhu family are two directions that have nothing to do with each other.
But no matter what, Zhu Hong is still associated with the Zhu family, because these people in the Zhu family are very depressed and live in the house he bought.
However, these days, the Zhu family is obviously not calm.
And these days, the most heartwarming one belongs to Mrs. Zhu's Cui family.
Since Mrs. Zhu and Mr. Zhu lived in Zhu Hong's house, except for a few complaints at the beginning that the house was too small, they seemed to be letting go of themselves and felt that it was time to enjoy Qingfu.
Of course they wanted to go back to the old way of life, and in fact they did. Eat well, wear well, and want a few maids and slaves to serve. Now the Cui family of the Zhu family is in charge, but Zhu Hong gave her so many dozens of taels of silver every month, which naturally cannot provide the enjoyment of the family, so the ideas that Mrs. Zhu and Master Zhu wanted were rejected by her.
Because of this reason, there are no fewer quarrels between husband and wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but Cui's is strong, and in the end, it is more time when Master Zhu and Mrs. Zhu are defeated.
But Master Zhu and Mrs. Zhu are not helpless in this regard. If you don't buy me good food and clothing, okay, then I'll go out and find good food and clothing. If you don't have any money in your hand, then you can pay on credit. Branded with Zhu Hong's name, there are really shops that give them credit.
As a result, Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu were eating, drinking, buying and buying outside, but a large amount of silver was paid on credit. Then in a few days, naturally someone will come to the door to collect debts.
Master Zhu and Mrs. Zhu naturally didn't have any silver in their hands, so they pointed their fingers and said, "You all go to my son and wife, or you all look for my grandson and daughter-in-law."
Zhu Hong is not in the house for three days, and the chance of the people who come to collect debts to meet him is really very small, it should be said that these people have come to the door many times, but it is so coincidental that they have not met Zhu Hong once. Since Zhu Hong can't be found, it is natural to find Cui's.
Cui's was so troubled that he told them to let them go to whom on credit, or to ask Zhu Hong for an account. But these people are not stupid, Master Zhu and Mrs. Zhu are the two masters who have no money at all, and no matter how hard they press, they can't jump out of the silver. As for Zhu Hong, that is something that little people like them can find casually. However, this Mrs. Zhu also often comes out to consume, and she must have silver in her hand, so she doesn't look for anyone.
Cui's fight with them is red-faced, and he can't wait to beat out all these people who come to collect debts. But the Zhu family is different from the past, these people who collect debts will no longer be afraid of the Zhu family, that is, Mrs. Zhu's surname is Cui, but seeing that Mrs. Zhu wanted to return to the sect after the Cui family was down, but was persuaded by the Cui family to come back, obviously the Cui family didn't take her seriously.
The debt collectors set out one by one, bluffing the Cui family, and finally had to take out the silver to pay off all the debts owed by Master Zhu and Mrs. Zhu.
As a result, it was still Cui's heartache, but Master Zhu and Mrs. Zhu really dared to give credit, and they had two or three thousand taels of silver on credit, but all the money she took out was her dowry. And the most important thing is that Mrs. Zhu and Mr. Zhu's credit behavior continues.
According to this momentum, her dowry should be tossed by these two mothers and sons in less than three months.
Cui was so angry that he almost wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The Cui family was planning to abandon Mrs. Zhu and Master Zhu, the mother-in-law and husband, and I really hated to leave them at this time and leave the Zhu family. It's just that she still has something to do in the Zhu family, and before she finishes this matter, the Cui family obviously doesn't plan to let her go back.
There is no way, the Cui family can only find a way to finish what the Cui family asked her to do as soon as possible.
So on this day, when Zhu Hong came back in the starlight and bright moon, he entered his study and saw Cui's sneaky look in his study.
Cui's search was so serious that he didn't even notice Zhu Hong coming in.
Zhu Hong looked at Cui Shi, who was looking at his back and rummaging on the bookshelf, and said, "Mother, what are you looking for in my study?"
Cui Shi exclaimed in fright, and a booklet in his hand fell with a "bang".
Cui Shi slowly turned his head in shock, smiled at Zhu Hong as if he was disguised, and said, "No, it's nothing, I see that your study is too messy, and I'm going to help you clean it up." ”
Zhu Hong glanced around the study, and then saw the lock on the door, and the lock on the door had been opened.
Zhu Hong's study is the only place in this house where Cui Shi and others are not allowed to enter, and Zhu Hong has already said this.
Zhu Hong frowned and asked, "Where is Ah Song?"
Ah Song is one of the two little servants who followed Zhu Hong closely, and today it was Zhu Hong's other guard, Ah Bai, who followed him out, and Ah Song stayed at home to guard the study. But at this time, Ah Song, who was supposed to be guarding the study, was gone.
Cui Shi hurriedly replied, "Oh, Ronglang is sick, I asked him to go out of the house to find a doctor." ”
Zhu Hong laughed when she heard this, looked at Cui's, there was a deep meaning in her eyes, and Cui's heart was a little hairy, and then she heard Zhu Hong say: "The second brother is sick, and my mother is still in the mood to help me tidy up the study?"
Cui Shi listened a little uncomfortable and said: "Didn't I also come to find Ah Song, I saw that your study was a little messy, so I wanted to help you tidy it up?"
This reason is really a bit lame, Zhu Hong is a meticulous person, and the study has always been neatly organized, and there will be no mess. What's more, even with Cui's temperament, it is impossible for Zhu Rong to be in the mood to help him tidy up the study when he is sick.
Zhu Hong said again: "I should have told my mother not to enter my study at will. ”
Cui's face was very embarrassed, but the more embarrassed she was, the more she had to pretend to be forceful, and said slightly loudly: "Why, I, as a mother, did a wrong job of helping you tidy up your study." ”
Zhu Hong said: "My son doesn't mean this, it's just that my study has some trade secrets of Ruyifang, if my mother accidentally turns it over and accidentally passes it on, it won't be good." ”
Cui Shi didn't want to turn his face with Zhu Hong at this time, she even needed to please him at this time, although she was very dissatisfied with him, she still showed a big smile, and said thoughtfully: "I know, I won't enter your room next time." ”
Zhu Hong didn't say anything more and walked in directly, and Cui Shi also walked to his side with a smile at this time, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have something to look for you today." ”
Zhu Hong sat on the stool, turned his head to look at her with a meaningful smile, and asked, "At this time, shouldn't my mother go back to see the second brother?"
