Fortunately, the carriage only shook for a moment and stopped, but at this time the carriage was tilted, and the people in the carriage did not dare to act rashly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The driver's panicked voice sounded outside, "The wheels of the car are broken, please ask the second young lady and the third young master to get out of the car quickly!"
Yao Keqing glanced through the gap in the curtain of the car, and couldn't help frowning, there were people coming and going on the street, how could he show his face, but seeing that the coachman was blocking the inclined carriage with his body, he knew that things could not be delayed, so he had to take a hat and get out of the car.
The old lady sent Mama Li over to question, and Mama Li saw that the car was broken, so she didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly took Yao Keqing's sister and brother to the old lady's carriage.
Yao Keqing glanced at the place where the wheel of the car was broken, and reached out to touch it again, and his expression became a little dignified.
"Ouch! Second Miss, don't touch it, beware of hurting your hands!" Mama Li saw Yao Keqing reach out to touch the wheels of the car, and hurriedly stopped her, but still let Yao Keqing touch it.
"It's just that I heard that the carriage has been running for a long time, and the wheels are hot, so I touched it out of curiosity!" Yao Keqing withdrew his hand and wiped it on the handkerchief.
Mama Li saw that there were people around to watch the excitement, afraid that they would take a look at Yao Keqing's appearance and damage Yao Keqing's reputation, so she hurriedly sent Yao Keqing's sister and brother to the old lady's carriage.
Before Yao Keqing got into the carriage, he quietly commanded Gui Yuan, and Gui Yuan nodded solemnly.
?? As soon as Yao Keqing changed his clothes after returning home, Gui Yuan came back, "Because the young lady and the third young master are going out today, yesterday's slave's father carefully checked the cars that the masters are going to use today, and it's all right!"
Yao Keqing nodded, the carriage she just sat in was indeed fine on the surface, but the wheel was still very new, obviously it had just been replaced, and it was broken when it was replaced. The wood used to make the wheel must be hard and flexible, and the most important thing is that the wood should not be too dry, too dry will become very brittle, brittle and easy to break. The wheels of the wagon today were unusually dry, as if they had been specially dried by fire.
"Miss's confession, the slave and maid have all said, the slave's father asked the slave and maid to thank Miss for his great kindness! Whoever has used the carriage in the house is registered, and it is easy to check, and it will be easy to check it tomorrow, and you will be able to know who used the carriage and changed it tomorrow!" Yao Keqing knew that the carriage was broken on the street today, and the house must give their sisters and brothers an explanation, and this time the carriage and horses were all handled by Guiyuan's father, Uncle Gui, and thought that the old lady would have an attack on Uncle Gui, so Yao Keqing asked Gui Yuan to go to remind him in advance, and by the way, let Uncle Gui check the carriage.
"You serve by my side, and I will naturally help take care of your family! It's just that this time I have to wronged Uncle Gui, you will go to Mama Fang to give your father five taels of silver later!" Yao Keqing is not short of silver, and he has always been generous to the people around him, especially when he asks people to help with things, but he doesn't give it for no reason, only if he gives it well, people can remember your kindness, and if he doesn't give it well, he will breed greed.
Gui Yuan's heart warmed, knowing that the silver given by Yao Keqing was for her father to run errands, and he didn't shirk it, and thanked her father for it, "The two elder brothers of the slave maid are all graced by Miss Meng to have errands, the eldest brother has learned the craft of making jewelry, and the second brother has followed the Mao steward to learn to manage the accounts, and now others envy our family, and there are five errands in our family of five!"
When Gui Yuan entered the Youhuan Pavilion, Yao Keqing inquired about the situation of her family, and saw that her eldest brother and second brother were capable, but they were leading the errand in the outer courtyard, Yao Keqing had the intention to win them over, so he arranged them to be apprentices in the shop, but Guiyuan's second brother had a good calculation, and was favored by Mao Song, and took him to learn to manage the accounts. "That's also your ability, Uncle Gui is afraid that he will be discharged from his errand this time, but you don't have to worry, let Uncle Gui just rest!"
Gui Yuan knows that their family is living a prosperous life now, I am afraid that it will make many people red, and others will definitely step on their family a few times before they stop, but Miss let their family take advantage of this matter to keep their eyes on it, she also felt that it made sense, so she smiled and said, "The slave's father said that he has been in the carriage and horse bureau for so many years, and he has not learned anything else, so he has learned the craft of driving a car, this time he has unloaded the errand, and he will drive the car for the young lady in the future!"
Yao Keqing also laughed, "That's good, Uncle Gui's skill in driving a car is much better than other coachmen!" Gui Yuan smiled and went to Mama Fang to get the silver, and asked Uncle Gui to check that the carriage wheel had been replaced.
Sure enough, as Yao Keqing expected, the old lady called the people from the Carriage and Horse Bureau to ask questions after dinner. After the old lady summoned him, before the old lady asked, Uncle Gui kowtowed and admitted his mistake, only saying that the carriages of the carriage and horse bureau had just been renovated and rested not long ago, so he didn't take a closer look yesterday, and now he knows that he was lazy for a while and almost made a big mistake, hurting the young master and the young lady, so he came to ask for guilt.
Uncle Gui admitted his mistake with a sincere attitude, and the old lady couldn't take the opportunity to attack, so she could only unload his errand and let her henchmen be on top.
Uncle Gui thanked the old lady with a grateful face, and wiped the sweat on his forehead when he left Shou'an Hall, and couldn't help but sigh that the second lady was really like a god. It has only been a few years since his family followed the second lady and has become a gateway with a head and a face among the subordinates, and he feels more and more in his heart that it was the right decision to send Gui Yuan to Yao Keqing to serve, and he should be more loyal to Yao Keqing in the future. Thinking of what Yao Keqing confessed, he didn't dare to delay at the moment, so he went back to the house and asked Aunt Gui to find the old wine, wrap a bag of braised meat and go out to visit the door.
When the door of the fast courtyard was locked, Uncle Gui returned to the small courtyard rented by the Gui family with a smell of alcohol. There are many people in the Hou Mansion in Changxiang, all of them live in the back cover room behind the Hou Mansion must be very crowded, the people who have heads and faces, and have money in their hands rent a yard in the surrounding alleys, the Gui family has earned a lot of money in recent years, plus they help Yao Keqing with things, for convenience and confidentiality, Yao Keqing proposed that their family move out to live. Uncle Gui thought that the two sons would get married in a few years, and the family was crowded in the lower room, and it was definitely not okay for the young boy to be crowded in the chase shop, so he rented this small courtyard that was only separated from the Changxiang Hou Mansion by an alley.
Seeing that Uncle Gui was back, the chubby Aunt Gui brought out the decanting soup that had been prepared a long time ago, "Can you inquire?"
