Chapter Seventy-Four: Disbursement of Money
Wei Lao was stunned by her words, and skipped for a while before putting down the water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info rubbed his hands together and said in a sneer.
"Yue kiln porcelain? That's a precious thing. Ordinary people don't say it's useful, it's hard to see it. Alas, it seems that with my 'Taoism', I don't have the blessing of "drinking" the tea before the fire. ”
After that, he sighed as if no one was looking. Completely immersed in your own tea world, you can't wake up.
No one knows about good things, and who doesn't want them? It's a pity that people like him can't have them.
But when I got a few words from the book, I said it recklessly. This newcomer to the 'country' lady is inevitably too daring to speak.
After speaking, there was a little more sarcasm in his expression. The things that can't be on the table are really ignorant and fearless.
Su Jinxi looked at it, heard his words, and knew what Wei Lao thought in his heart. Smiling slightly, he lowered his head and turned the red gold jade bracelet on Hao's wrist. After a pause, he looked up and said.
"I have one of these things, but it's from Yaozhou kiln. It's useless to save it, since Wei Lao is lacking, he will give it away. ”
The one that Uncle Zhang gave her to play with since she was a child was used to "buy people's hearts" at this time.
"Give it to me?!" Boss Wei was startled and stood up suddenly. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and carefully looked at the people in front of him. only to calm down a little.
Although Yue kiln porcelain is rare, Yaozhou kiln is an object of the Great Zhou official kiln. Its value is ten times more than the average one.
Wei Lao has studied the tea ceremony for several years, and he knows a thing or two about tea utensils. Hearing Su Jinxi mention things that he didn't dare to think of in his dreams, he couldn't help but be distracted and fluttered away.
It wasn't until a long time later that she slowly came back to her senses, lowered her eyelids and secretly raised her head, seeing that Su Jinxi was calm, she didn't feel that she was talking nonsense.
suddenly realized that he was standing close to the fourth lady, and knelt on the ground in panic.
"Four, Miss Four, the old slave is old and confused, rude, please forgive me. ”
Compared with the earlier disdain, the tone at this time was much more awe-inspiring. One is because Su Jinxi's tea knowledge makes him really admire, and the other is because of the tea cup.
He shouldn't, but he wanted to try. Even if it was Su Jinxi bragging in the end, he would have nothing to lose.
Su Jinxi's smile was clearly visible, and he did not lose half a point.
"Wei Lao's enthusiasm for tea can only make me admire, where to blame it. As for the object, when I go back to Qingzhi Garden, I will send Yahuan to you early. ”
After that, he raised his hand to signal Wei Lao to get up and sit down.
"In this way, the old slave has thanked Miss Si for a thousand thanks. ”
Seeing Su Jinxi's easy-going attitude, Elder Wei got up after speaking.
But where did he dare to sit down, bowed his head and stepped forward to add a cup of tea to Su Jinxi, and respectfully held it to her table.
After that, he turned around with the teapot and stood a few steps away.
Taking advantage of Su Jinxi's time to drink tea, he secretly glanced at her half-serious and half-joking face, and couldn't help but turn eighteen turns in his heart, becoming more and more uncertain about her temperament, so he had to wait carefully.
However, Su Jinxi is really full of tea, and there is no follow-up.
Seeing that Su Jinxi no longer spoke, Wei Lao, who had been holding back for a long time, couldn't help but say more.
"I don't know why the fourth lady came here? If it's just for shopping, the old slave can accompany the explanation. ”
The eyes unconsciously showed sycophancy, and the folds on his face were flattened.
Su Jinxi took advantage of the situation to put down the cup and pushed it far to the center of the table.
"Let's explain it next time, I'm here this time to pay money. "Serious things are said very casually, and it is still a tone of small talk.
The corners of Wei Lao's mouth suddenly froze. After a pause, Fang put down the teapot.
"Pay money?" Wei Lao was a little embarrassed, and he was afraid that he would offend Su Jinxi and lose the teacup, so he replied very hesitantly.
Unexpectedly, before he could say the whole thing, Su Jinxi's face drooped first.
"Wei Lao has such an attitude, could it be that he saw that I had just come from outside and had not a deep foundation, so he deliberately embarrassed me?"
His brows are furrowed, his eyes are like blades, his eyes are like knives, and he cuts people inch by inch. Although there is no blood, it is enough to make people tremble.
Wei Lao didn't expect Su Jinxi's face to change so quickly, and it was this majestic expression that was too different from before.
My heart panicked, my legs weakened, and I knelt on the ground again. Fortunately, the teapot in my hand was grasped tightly and did not shatter on the ground.
"Fourth Miss misinterpreted the old slave, you just returned home and didn't know. Although the four rooms in the house live together on the surface, they are managed by the eldest lady. In fact, it's self-managed.
The size of each room must have the approval of the lady of each room before you can take the money as you like. The old slave is just a compilation and registration errand. Don't call the shots. ”
Su Jinxi knew that it would not be so simple to take the money, and based on the former's expression and tone towards Wei Lao, it was just a matter of grace and power, and he filed the last bit of sharpness in his heart.
Seeing that Wei Lao was trembling, he knew that he had achieved his goal, so he changed back to smiling, and even better than before. Raise your hand and signal him to get up.
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. The money to be paid, not only the eldest lady agreed, but even the third lady of the third room also approved. ”
"That's good, that's good. Wei Lao wiped his sweat and nodded incessantly. But he didn't dare to get up, and still knelt respectfully on the ground.
"I don't know how much the fourth lady will pay, the old slave is so good to send someone back. ”
Although his head was lowered, his eyes peeked in the direction of Su Jinxi from time to time.
Seeing Wei Lao's appearance, the corners of Su Jinxi's mouth raised slightly, picked up the teacup, and sneered in his heart.
This is the half-master slave cultivated by Su Fu, who shows off his martial arts on weekdays, and he doesn't have any backbone when he encounters trouble and profit.
"Pay one hundred and fifty taels of silver first, and remember to record it in the account of Miss Six. It's better to have a silver ticket, or I'll have to send someone to pick it up again. ”
Hearing the number, Wei Lao's sweat moistened again. Obediently, he worked hard for a year to get only ten taels of silver, and the fourth lady actually opened her mouth to be one hundred and fifty taels.
Although Su Mansion is also regarded as Zhong Ming's prosperous family, he does not dare to spend such a large sum of money at will. But he didn't know how to dissuade Su Jinxi, so he was silent for a while.
Su Jinxi knew what he meant, and put the tea bowl on the small table with a bang. His face was slightly gloomy.
"Elder Wei doesn't need to worry, just send someone to give the two wives. ”
"Yes, yes. ”
Wei Lao was frightened, and he responded again and again, not daring to refute it. Got up and poked his head out of the window, and said to the noisy little guy outside the door.
"The two of you divided the matter of the fourth lady coming to the account to withdraw one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and divided it between the eldest lady and the third lady. ”
"Yes. Wei Lao is the senior of the account office, and he has the title of chief steward, and the two of them dare not neglect his explanation, so they answered and hurriedly ran away.
Su Jinxi's eyes turned up slightly, he didn't look at him, and continued to say lightly.
"Wei Lao has been in Su Mansion for many years, and he is capable and self-reliant. Unexpectedly, the thinking is not lively. ”
