Chapter 60: A dilemma
Mu Zhiyue went out of the door, and the eldest uncle was waiting there, and when he saw her coming out, he took the lead and walked to the corner gate on the west side, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the west garden and say." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Mu Zhiyue asked Ling Yan to invite the shopkeeper of Lu Da to come over, and took Xiao Zhuo to follow the footsteps of Master Cui and walked in the direction of the garden to the west.
The west side of Cui's house is used to entertain guests, the green bamboo is planted all over it, the breeze blows and can hear the rustling of bamboo leaves, there are three main rooms facing south, and a wing room on the west side, there is no upside down, when the guests come, they can choose the main room or the wing room according to their identity.
Cui Sanye was waiting in a wing room on the west side, and after Master Cui went in, he chose the main seat and sat down, Cui Sanye did not sit, leaned against Master Cui and stood next to him.
The door curtain shook, Grandma Cui San flashed in, and Mu Zhiyue saw that her uncle's eyebrows were almost undetectably wrinkled, but she didn't speak.
Mu Zhiyue naturally didn't speak, she could come as a child, how could she stop Grandma Cui San, who was her aunt.
Master Cui asked Mu Chenqi's situation: "How is Brother Qi doing?" ā
"My brother is very good, and I have learned a lot from my husband", Mu Zhiyue replied lightly, she didn't want to let people know that her brother was obsessed with metaphysics too early, she was afraid that her brother would lose her interest in the face of others' contempt and contempt.
"It's good to learn something", Master Cui is not good at chatting with a child, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly condensed.
At this time, Ling Yan brought Lu Da's shopkeeper to find him, so as not to make the atmosphere in the house embarrassing.
"Little Lu Qi asks for peace to the eldest uncle and the third uncle", Lu Da's shopkeeper bowed his hand.
Mu Zhiyue only learned that the name of the shopkeeper Lu was Lu Qi today, and Master Cui San, who had not spoken, called the shopkeeper Lu first.
Straight to the point: "Shopkeeper Lu, you came today with your aunt, what do you want to do with those people?" ā
The shopkeeper Lu didn't speak, but raised his eyes to look at Mu Zhiyue.
Mu Zhiyue lifted the hem of her skirt and took two steps forward and said, "Eldest uncle, third uncle, Zhiyue came here today to talk to the two uncles about her mother's marriage shop."
"This matter has nothing to do with my father, my father didn't want to interfere in my mother's marriage, it was Zhiyue who found my father and said that he wanted to take over those shops and Zhuangzi. As for Lu Da's shopkeeper, it was his father who lent him to Zhiyue, who was a girl in Zhiyue, and she was young, so she couldn't go out often, even if she could go out, some foreign men were not easy to contact, so I asked my father to borrow Lu Da's shopkeeper."
Mu Zhiyue explained the cause of the incident in one breath, and Master Cui and Third Master Cui were stunned when they heard it.
I always thought that my aunt was going to rectify my sister's marriage, but I didn't expect it to be Mu Zhiyue, a little girl
To be handled.
"Nonsense, what can you understand as a girl", Master Cui was a little incredulous, and the aunt was relieved to hand over the Cui family's dowry shop to an eight-year-old child.
Mu Zhiyue came today with the preparation that her uncle would obstruct, and said crisply: "Uncle must also know about the situation of those shops, open there, let alone make money, it's a blessing not to put money inside." It's such a shop, where can I go if I mess around anymore?"
This time, Master Cui has nothing to say, yes, the shop is already like that, where can you mess around no matter how much you mess around.
Cui Sanye didn't care about who was in charge of this shop now, and asked straight to the point: "You are renovating the shop, and you don't think about how to buy goods, bring forth the new, and attract customers, why do you want to replace all the people in the shop first." Do you know that those people are all from the Cui family, but they were only given to your mother, you cut so many people at once, and you also saw the situation in the house, what do we use to feed so many mouths? ā
Mu Zhiyue argued: "The third uncle can know why my mother's shop has not been as good as a year in recent years, it is because these people from the past of the Cui family have relied on the absence of their mother and no one to control them, and the shop is a mess. ā
Mu Zhiyue motioned to Lu Da's shopkeeper to take out the account books of several shops: "Two uncles, please take a look, I have checked this account book again, and none of the shops can match the accounts."
"When my mother got married, my grandmother and uncle loved me and gave my mother all the good shops of the Cui family to my mother. But I don't want to think that over the years, that evil servant has relied on no one to care about how much property in the shop has been embezzled, and those who know will say that the Cui family doesn't know people clearly, and those who don't know will say that it was instructed by their uncles. Such people, how could Zhiyue continue to keep them in the shop."
Mu Zhiyue's words shocked the two masters of the Cui family, if it was rumored that the people of the Cui family had married their aunts and grandmothers, then how could the two of them have the face to stay in Fengyang any longer.
Mrs. Cui San couldn't sit still on the side, this pot could not be carried by their Cui family, so she said in a cold tone: "These are just cousins, you are alone, although your mother is gone, you can't pour dirty water on the Cui family."
Mu Zhiyue didn't expect the third aunt to say that this was the dirty water she splashed, and she blocked her throat in one breath, "If the third aunt doesn't believe it, you can take the account book yourself and verify it carefully, and you can see if it's dirty water."
The shopkeeper of Lu Da, who was standing on the side, said: "Don't hide it from the two uncles and uncles, the treasurers of these shops have embezzled more money than I imagined, so today I followed our girl to ask for the opinions of the two uncles." Since these people are from the Cui family, can the uncle help find the money for the sake of the deceased wife? If the uncle thinks that they are all the old people of the Cui family, they have a face-saving feeling, they can't do it, the little ones are not too troublesome, and they have already prepared the situation, and they want to go to the yamen of the state capital to sue those evil servants to the prefect, they must be asked to spit out all the embezzled property, and when the time comes, the people of the prefect yamen will definitely find out the truth of the matter. ā
Cui Sanye was stunned when he heard this, not only to drive people away, but also to spit out the silver money that was swallowed?
He immediately lowered his head weakly, in the past few years, he has secretly moved money from those shops.
Mrs. Cui San's eyes have been aimed at Mu Zhiyue, and Mu Zhiyue did not react after seeing the words of the shopkeeper Lu, and she knew that Mu Zhiyue knew about this, and she knew about the money used by her master in her aunt's and grandmother's wedding shop, and those who were in charge of the shopkeeper were still the threads she was looking for, and now Mu Zhiyue wants to investigate thoroughly, so she has to think of a good way quickly.
"Cousin, the people in the shop are all domestic slaves of our Cui family, you want to sue them to the yamen, do you want to sue your uncle too", after thinking for a long time, Grandma Cui San only came up with this way to use filial piety to suppress Mu Zhiyue.
Mu Zhiyue originally thought about how the shopkeeper in the shop was so bold and dared to embezzle so much money from the master's family, but now that she saw the weakness of the third uncle and the third uncle's mother, she knew in her heart, I am afraid that there is still something about the third uncle's family in between.
In her previous life, she didn't care about the life and death of these shops, and after she got married, she threw the shops there as if they didn't exist, so she never thought that the situation of this shop would be related to the third uncle.
What to do, should it be done? Is it to debunk or to give up? Mu Zhiyue had no idea in her heart.
