Chapter Seventy-Three: Wei Lao
Su Jinxi wanted to refuse, considering that some words could not be said directly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info finally agreed perfunctorily.
It's better to let her continue to be simple, and as for those dirty and shady, let her cover her up.
At this point, she didn't say anything, lifted the curtain and walked to the bed, and pinched the corner of the quilt for the sleeping Uncle Zhang. After staring at his pale face for a moment, he turned and walked out.
"Liuqing, I went to the account room with Chanyi and the old lady. You stay behind to take care of Uncle Zhang. When Qin Huan came back, let him go buy some coal.
It's best to be smokeless, and if you have a charcoal stove to warm your hands, remember to let him carry a few as well. And then there's ......"
The words were said to Liuqing, but his eyes kept falling on Chan Yi, who was following closely.
Liuqing snatched the broken silver handed over by Chan Yi and pushed them out impatiently.
"Got it, got it. No matter how much you nag, I won't leave you with the thirteen uniques that Qin Huan bought. ”
"You girl, Chanyi, let's go. Su Jinxi paused helplessly and turned out of the backyard.
Although she didn't want to think about it, the past of her previous life still made her heart full of depression that she couldn't avoid, and she couldn't help but feel the wind under her feet.
After a short time, he came to the account room with a shirt that was "familiar with the road".
Although Chanyi was puzzled about Su Jinxi's familiarity with Su Mansion, she didn't open her mouth to ask.
Soon, they approached several interconnected low rooms. The windows were shut, and on the wall near the door hung a sign with the words "Ledger".
The handwriting is orderly, and it is finally not written by Su Mo Nian himself.
Su Jinxi ignored the two little guys who were tossing and weaving outside, and stepped in with his legs raised.
In the accounting room, there is only one old man settling accounts. Seeing Su Jinxi, he stopped dialing the plate and squinted at her.
"Who are you?" There are only a few young ladies in the family, and this one is a fresh face. Besides, what was the black patch on her face, was it the one they said it was......
"This is the fourth young lady who has just returned home. Chanyi replied.
After hearing this, the old man nodded casually, which was regarded as a salute.
"The old slave has seen the fourth miss, and the old slave still has some important accounts, so he shouldn't pay the fourth miss. ”
After speaking, he lowered his head very casually, continued to fiddle with the abacus beads, and ignored Su Jinxi.
Sure enough, it was her.
He had already heard of this fourth young lady.
Although her grandfather's family has a prominent status, it is a pity that the relationship has been broken since her mother's generation. There's no background at all.
To put it nicely, what kind of illegitimate daughter was born outside by Uncle Changfang. It's not nice to say, it's just a cheap girl that no one wants.
Since he was a child, he first learned to count money, and then learned to read, and he was naturally more proficient than anyone else if he couldn't afford to be early.
Ugly appearance is secondary, this has no money and no background......?
"You ......" Chanyi couldn't help but want to scold, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Su Jinxi raising her hand.
Put down his hand, smiled lightly, and took a few steps in.
After that, the god of the dead sniffed the tea in the house, sat down at the table with the tea bottle "leisurely", and poured himself a cup.
"Disturbing a cup of tea, presumably Wei Lao has no opinion, right?"
The old man was busy with his own business, and he didn't even look back and answered casually.
"Miss Four is casual. Suddenly realizing something, he looked at Su Jinxi sharply.
"Do you know the old slave?!"
Although the account room is not big, there are more than a dozen people, and there are no less than three or five of his age alone, how can you recognize him at a glance?
You know, this is the first time the two of them have met.
Su Jinxi ignored his question, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
"The best pre-fire tea, but unfortunately the baking temperature when steaming is a little different. ”
"Do you know tea?!" Wei Lao was even more surprised, and simply threw away the ledger and stood beside Su Jinxi.
I thought that Su Jinxi, who grew up in the countryside, had no physique and knowledge, so he just dealt with the sentence casually, but he didn't expect to be a tea connoisseur.
I know that the tea he has today is specially obtained from Wu Yueguo, and the name of the tea can be determined with just one bite, and there are few in the entire Jiangning Mansion.
Although he has been dealing with accounts since he was a child, his favorite thing is tea. In particular, I respect people who understand tea.
Su Jinxi's expression was calm, and he didn't answer him immediately. He just lowered his head and took another sip before continuing.
"I don't understand, but I know a little bit about it. As far as this tea goes, though. I don't know if it was bought cheaply, or if it was bluffed. There is always a hint of bitterness. ”
"I've always wondered about this, the tea is my nephew's filial piety, there should be no problem, but this bitter taste is old. ”
As the saying goes, "a thousand dollars are easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find".
Wei Laodun was full of energy, and he forgot Su Jinxi's identity, and sat on the chair next to her and talked seriously. It's as casual as a tea lover who tastes it with you on weekdays.
Su Jinxi didn't mind his faux pas, shook his head slightly, and motioned for Chanyi, who had already stepped forward, to retreat behind him.
After a moment of reflection, he frowned slightly.
"Oh, that's just a question of Ancha. Fire tea has always been known for its delicateness, and the water temperature is slightly higher to bring out some bitterness. ”
Wei Lao's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, and he immediately picked up the cup and took a quick sip. Smacked his mouth a few times, and instantly made a sudden realization.
"It turned out to be this Tao, and I said how I got it more than a dozen times, and it smelled like this. He shook the tea soup in the porcelain bottle, got up and poured it into the porcelain bowl at his feet.
"Wait a minute, I'll soak it again. ”
Su Jinxi glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth curved a little.
This person doesn't look at his appearance, but he is the one who has been in the account room for the longest time among the slaves of the Su family, and all the money in the Su Mansion over the years has passed through him.
He is a calculating and capable person, and there has not been a single wrong account in decades. is not as old as the mandate of heaven, but he is already the chief steward of the accounting office.
It's a pity that there are two weaknesses: one is that he is a tea addict and regards tea as his life. Once you encounter a lovely tea, you don't care about the money.
The second is to have a stuttering son with mediocre qualifications. His future family and livelihood have always been his heart problems.
If Su Jinxi wants to gain a firm foothold in the snobbish Su Mansion, the first thing is to be rich.
And in her current situation, the easiest money to get is Sufu's.
As for the ones given by Princess Yan, there are too many things to be considered, and they are not in the category of her consideration at all.
And to get the money from Su Mansion, Wei Lao is definitely the best helper that cannot be surmounted.
Thinking of this layer of stakes, the smile on her face became a little thicker. His eyes followed Elder Wei, who had put the broken tea and filled the water in his hand, and glanced at the few tea sets on his hand.
"Even if the temperature is properly controlled, if you want to drink with a taste, you must also have the right tea set. Speaking of which, you have to go over the kiln celadon cups. Bring a few. ”
Su Jinxi said it lightly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary and simple thing.
