Chapter 130: Please enter the urn
Qingwu didn't stop from the moment she entered the door, she twisted the handkerchief for Xin'er, handed the handkerchief, and helped pour tea, which was directly the posture of serving the master.
Xin'er sat down, drank a few sips of tea, and tasted a few pieces of dim sum, and praised: "It tastes good, and the lady's craftsmanship is better than that of the cook."
Qingwu said modestly: "These are all country crafts, my sister just tastes fresh, how dare she compare with the chefs in the house?"
"That's right, everyone's tastes are different." Xin'er didn't argue.
Seeing that the topic was about to be broken, Qingwu was a little secretly anxious, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "By the way, sister, how did the wild chrysanthemum pillow lord use last time?" Is there anything that needs to be improved?"
"Oh, the one last time, the county lord was useless." Xin'er said casually, "A few days ago, I was just about to send it to the county lord, and the county lord asked people to make an orange peel pillow, saying that they liked the smell of orange peel, and it happened that the palace sent a basket of fresh oranges, and the county lord let people peel and dry it to make a pillow. ”
Xin'er said as she went into the house and took out the wild chrysanthemum pillow and handed it to Qingwu.
Qingwu was even more anxious, but she didn't dare not take it, because Xin'er said that she didn't need this pillow, and it was not easy to say that Xin'er would give it away casually, so she could only take it.
"I'm a little tired, thank you for me, Auntie, in addition, this is the honey that the county lord rewarded me, I can eat so much by myself, Auntie likes to make snacks, maybe you can use it, you can take a jar back and see." Xin'er took out another small jar of honey and stuffed it into Qingwu.
Qingwu was disappointed and anxious. It's a pity that there is no excuse to stay, so I can only go back with my things.
went back to see her mother, and when she told her about the matter, Qingwu Niang was silent.
Qingwu said anxiously: "Mother, what do you say now?" I said earlier that we would take over the teahouse to do how good it would be, at least we could do things, and I heard that Mama Liang's relatives took over the cloth village and made money in the first month. For this reason, the county lord also rewarded Mama Liang, so Mrs. Wang took over the teahouse for his son, what should we do now? The county lord is simply ignoring us now. ”
Qingwu Niang sighed: "Silly child, do you think my mother is not in a hurry?" It's just that we are different from Mama Liang's mother-in-law, as long as they make a little money, they can be appreciated by the county lord, and what they ask for is just a small reward, and we are different, we want more than a little silver. We have to redress your father's grievances, and the officialdom protects each other, even if it is a dignified county lord. I want to overturn the case. You must also pay a lot of favors, and these favors are enough to buy dozens of small teahouses. ”
"But, according to what you said, why did the county lord help us in the first place? Mother, you also said that there are still good people in the world who fight unevenly, and the county lord may be such a person! "Qingwu is really anxious. Dad is still in the mine, as long as she can't come back for a day, she can't feel at ease for a day.
"Maybe, but now that something big has happened in the county lord's mansion, I'm afraid I can't take care of anything now." Qingwu Niang sighed. "This time, my mother made a mistake again, after all, it is in the people who make things happen."
"What's going on at the County Lord's Mansion? Why haven't I heard?" Qingwu is confused. She goes out to help with things all day long, and she hasn't heard anything abnormal, but her mother has been doing needlework in the yard or making snacks in the kitchen, and the news should not be as well-informed as her.
Qingwu Niang said: "Some things can be deduced from some details, these depend on the eyesight, and my mother will tell you slowly in the future."
"Mother, how can we have time to think about it slowly?" Qingwu said anxiously.
"No matter how anxious you are, you have to calm down, and you can't mess around." When Qingwu Niang said this, she actually didn't have a bottom in her heart, but at this moment, she could only comfort her daughter like this.
At this moment, it is not only Qingwu who is anxious.
The Mo family in the west of the city is also in chaos.
Mo Wei, the son of the Mo family, has been missing for a few days, and the Mo family has searched for all the places they can find, and there is no direction at all, they want to report to the official, but they are afraid that the wind will spread out, others will think that Mo Wei will donate money and abscond, but in fact, the Mo family itself is also a little muttering.
The amount of money owed this time is too large, and it can't be repaid even if they sell the entire Mo family, this Mo Wei may really not be able to withstand the pressure, and it is not known if he ran away.
The Mo family has no choice, everyone who is a little familiar with each other has been borrowed silver from them, and now they dare not look for it, so they can only find Aunt Mo to find a way.
Aunt Mo is also at a loss, Li Tong has been sad every day recently, he also owes a lot of silver outside, although people do not dare to come to the door to force debts, but the words are very harsh, she racked her brains so as not to make Li Tong angry with her, she can only hope that her brother, this batch of goods is a lot of shares, maybe others will have a way.
Just a few days ago, her brother asked someone to reassure her, saying that a solution had been found, and she was happy, but she didn't expect her brother to disappear suddenly.
Aunt Mo had no choice, so she had to find Li Tong again, and begged Li Tong to find a way with a big belly of pear blossoms and rain.
A petite and delicate woman like Aunt Mo is very pleasing to the eye and cute to make pear blossoms with rain, but no matter how beautiful her face is, she will get bored when she sees too much, let alone when she is irritable in her heart?
Li Tong was at a loss for the foreign debt of tens of thousands of taels of silver, at this time the Mo family had an accident again, and Aunt Mo's crying made him even more upset, thinking that he had been shy recently, and he had to let others pay the bill when he went out to have a meal with his colleagues, once or twice was nothing, but there were too many times, and others couldn't help but muttered in their hearts.
Generally speaking, like-minded friends drink flower wine together, divided into two kinds, one is rich can rush to pay the bill, the other is a slightly poor family background, can't afford to pay for wine, but is very good at flattery, drinking and fist to raise the atmosphere and flattery to make everyone happy, he is the son of a princess, naturally belongs to being flattered, everyone naturally needs him to pay the bill, can't pay the money, who wants to invite an ancestor to drink together?
At first, everyone just joked and sarcastically said a few words, but later saw that he still didn't rush to pay, and when he slowly invited guests to drink and chant poetry, everyone automatically eliminated him.
Li Tong, who is accustomed to spending money and living like a dirt in the face of his sad wife and concubine all day long, panicked, two days ago a few unfamiliar sons of the family suddenly invited him out, of course he was overjoyed, he went without thinking about it, and drank a whole night of wine in Wangxian Tower, the sons of the family flattered him, so that he was very happy, drank a few more glasses, and was dizzy and forgetful, after drinking, he said arrogantly that he wanted to pay the bill, and there was no cash on his body to wave a large pen, and sign a bill on credit.
The next day, after waking up, I was secretly a little annoyed, this group of people chartered the entire Wangxian Tower, called many courtesans and dancers to help the fun, and drank all the good wine such as the old daughter red, some people thought that the dishes made by the Wangxian Building were not good, and specially let people go to another Luoyue Building to invite the chef in the building to cook here, and some people said that Yi Cuiyuan had a new group of orchids, and they danced very well...... In this way, the cost of this meal was actually two thousand taels of silver.
Don't talk about the present, it's the past, for Li Tong, two thousand taels is not something that can be thrown away casually, but there is no way, the account has been signed, and he has to find a way to make up the silver to pay it back, but what he lacks most now is silver.
Now I heard Aunt Mo crying and crying and asked him to help find someone, his head was big, and for the sake of Aunt Mo being pregnant with Liujia, he reluctantly comforted him perfunctorily, and then shook his hand and went out.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw the personal servant Xiaoshan coming in a hurry, and told him that it was the people from Wangxian Tower who came to ask for the account, although he did not dare to enter the gate of the princess's mansion directly, but he had been guarding the back and the intersection.
Li Tong didn't dare to go out, so he turned around and went back to the main courtyard to find Su Yihua to find a way.
In the main room, Su Yihua pinched a stack of invitations with a sad face, and when he saw Li Tong coming in, he said: "Xianggong, Zhang Hanlin, Li Juren, and Wang Jinshi have all sent invitations, what should you do when you look at it?"
Li Tong was suddenly dissatisfied: "You can deal with these small things yourself, ask me what I am doing, these are not high-ranking families, you can go if you have time, just give a gift if you don't have time, no one will say anything."
"But, Xianggong, where did this gift come from?" Su Yihua sighed and said, "There is no silver in the account room anymore."
Silver, silver and silver, Li Tong was annoyed, his brain was a lot more flexible, and he immediately said: "I remember that when we got married and took a concubine last time, many people gave gifts, you find something great, don't you just send it back?" You can't even think of this, do you?"
Su Yihua said: "Xianggong, I also thought of it, but we have been married for a long time, in addition to antique calligraphy and paintings, other silk and satin medicinal materials that cannot be stored for a long time have been used almost, and those sent by your Aunt Mo's family, most of them are in Aunt Mo's room, even if you take it back, the time is still short, if someone finds out......"
Congratulatory gifts sent by others can be used to transfer to relatives and friends, but they can no longer be sent out as formal gifts with great fanfare, otherwise they will be laughed at.
Li Tong couldn't help but soften his tone a little after he was at a loss: "I have wronged you these days, you have to think of a way to deal with the past first, and I will be loose on hand another day, and I will definitely pay it back."
"Xianggong, husband and wife, say that you can't pay it back, so I will send my pair of ruby inlaid gold bracelets to the pawnshop, quietly pawn them, exchange them for silver, and talk about them after this time." Su Yihua agreed very obediently.
This pair of ruby inlaid gold bracelets is Su Yihua's dowry, when Su Yihua got married, he was carrying this pair of gold bracelets on his hands, and on the night of candles in the cave room, Li Luo praised her for carrying such a golden jade bracelet on her jade arms, which was very beautiful, and she was also very cherished, and she was reluctant to wear it if it was not important.
