Chapter 5 Whose Accounts Are Collected?
"Nine girls are really good?" Shopkeeper Ge asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info heart is so dangerous, I just want to loosen my mouth. If Jiang Li also died of illness, there was no reason for him to hold on to the account books and not hand them over.
Jiang Li ranked ninth in the Jiang family.
"That's great!" Green Pothos lowered her head and said, "Thanks to the medicine sent by Shopkeeper Ge!" At first, we didn't dare to use it, but that night it didn't work, so I thought that I would take my life and give the girl a gamble, but I didn't want to really save it! ”
"Isn't that scared. This prescription is really caught by a traveling doctor! The ninth girl has been sick for so long, and I am also out of line, and it happened that there was an iron mouth at the door, so I asked him to calculate a hexagram, and he promised me that there was help, so he gave me this medicine. I also don't know the bottom of my heart, so I told you not to use it unless you have to. Finally, the sky has eyes! Shopkeeper Ge sighed.
"The people in the house have finally made a move, you let the ninth girl be a little prepared. I guess they will think of another way if they don't get the account book today, I'm just afraid that they will turn around and embarrass the ninth girl. The shopkeeper Ge told a story.
In the past few years, the Jiang family has long been unable to make ends meet. In the past, the old lady was in charge, and the clothes in the house were borne by the Mei family's shop, and at the end of the year, the old lady also asked people to settle the bill, most of which were just to give some capital.
Gradually, even the capital was wiped out from the account of the third room, so that Mrs. Mei had to take out some from her private account from time to time to supplement the family. It is said that the third master still has a lot of money to hand in every year before he took office, that is, the old lady does not bear the cost of the three rooms, and she should not have to collect another sum from Mrs. Mei. Mrs. Mei Bingxue is smart but cowardly, so she will let the Jiang family handle it at will. Shopkeeper Ge looked at it, but it was not worth it for her.
Now that Mrs. Mei is gone, the Jiang family ignores the seriously ill Jiang Li, but first runs to Mrs. Mei's dowry shop to collect the account book, it seems that they are impatiently ready to tear the last layer of skin.
Looking at it now, the Jiang family didn't care about it, and they didn't know about Jiang Li's recovery, let alone that Mrs. Mei left a token for Jiang Li. It's just that if this Lin steward runs into a wall and goes back, the Jiang family will find Jiang Li. Shopkeeper Ge asked Jiang Li to bring a message to let her plan earlier.
"Also, the Mei family is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and the old lady Mei is already a terminally ill old man, and there is actually no one in the Mei family who can support the nine girls. Although the third master is her biological father, I don't think I really feel sorry for her. So the nine girls have to make their own decisions! So he told her that I was completely oriented towards her, and it was up to her to see what she did. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he got up and gave it away.
The purpose of the message has been achieved, and the pothos hurriedly said goodbye and rushed back.
When he was about to leave the store, he saw the shopkeeper Ge holding Sixi's arm, listening to Sixi patiently explain something, and smiling bitterly while listening. Sent out to the door, the pothos heard and said: "Now that your grandfather is old, he handed over the plum village to you to take care of, and you have to weigh a few points in advance." Those few splashes will deal with them after the New Year, so as not to be calculated by people with ulterior motives! ”
Sixi grimaced, nodded his head and agreed, got into the car and hit the horse.
Luluo coughed in the carriage and deliberately teased him: "It turns out that Sixi is the steward of our Meizhuang, please take care of our girls in the future!" Today's pothos doesn't know the depths, and I take the liberty of asking you to drive me, how offended! ”
Sixi outside the car wore a cloak on his head, his face was red, and he could hear the teasing in Luluo's words. Ne said: "What about the bullshit, I saw that my grandfather was bullied when he was old, and I came to give him strength." ”
"Who dares to bully Maeber? There are only a few people inside and outside Meizhuang. Pothos was surprised.
"It's not the Zhuangzi business, it's the rent collection in our Zhuangshang that went wrong!" Four happy answers.
The pothos sighed and didn't ask anymore.
Luthos hurriedly rushed into the courtyard, and when she arrived at the door of the main house, she called out crisply: "Girl, I'm back!" "Reach out and lift the curtain and go in.
Jiang Li had already gotten out of bed and sat on a carved chair in the room, dressed in a moon-white homely robe, with black hair combed into a bun, and there was no sick appearance that had just recovered from a serious illness. In the past, some baby fat faces were more delicate after being thinner, and a pair of apricot blossom eyes revealed a calmness that was incommensurate with her age, as well as the wisdom and fortitude that the pothos had never noticed before.
Seeing the green pothos enter the house, Jiang Li hummed, handed over the teacup in his hand, and Xiaoxiang took it. Motioning for the pothos to sit, Jiang Li asked the pothos to learn the words of the shopkeeper Ge word for word, and a chill gradually condensed in his eyes.
After hearing this, he snorted coldly: "Whose account are they collecting, and their hands are stretched out!" It's true that I'm going to die, isn't it too anxious! ”
Jiang Li pondered for a moment, the family was poor and calculating, and the inheritance left to him by his mother could not fly from the palm of his hand. She is not the honest and cowardly daughter of the past, but she can't be a rude stepdaughter who drives her stepmother out with a broom, she has to use her brain to take care of the inheritance that God has given her.
It doesn't matter what kind of conspiracy the Jiang family has, she will follow it well. The business of more than a dozen shops, as well as a huge plum village, she can not be a daughter, this rich man who gave it away for nothing should be decided-Jiang Li smiled pleasantly, and the sky fell when it was covered. A little lazy ordered: "Little fragrant pothos, I said that I will take you to enjoy the plum blossoms when you are sick, prepare tomorrow, just wait for the weather to be good, let's go out and breathe!" ”
"When did the girl become so wild, she was going to go out as soon as she opened her mouth! I used to be very scared of being born and never went out! Xiao Xiang burst out of her mouth.
"What, I've been sick for a few months and I'm bored, do you want to go out now?" Jiang Li's eyes were stunned, it was an arrogant appearance that Xiao Xiang had never seen before.
"Oh!!" Xiaoxiang chirped, a pair of eyes looked at Jiang Li's body in disbelief, what could she say to Xiaoxiang a little girl, only looked at the pothos.
Green pothos said: "Xiaoxiang is also reasonable, the girl is well, and she is not allowed to notify the people in the Jiang family's mansion, she has to go out to enjoy the plum blossoms first, where is this kind of behavior like Miss Qianjin." If the house gets rumors again, what will happen? I don't think I should go out, and tomorrow I will set up a table in this courtyard, and I should have a scene? ”
Jiang Li secretly sighed that he was anxious, and he was so careful because of the green pothos. Anyway, the days are still long, and it's not too late to take care of your body and go out. She plans to stay in this plum village for a long time, but she is afraid that someone will not let her do it. Thinking like this, he changed his words and promised the pothos: "You are right." But tomorrow you're going to have to prepare an extra table, I'm afraid we'll have guests on the door. ”
Green Lothos said, "How do you know someone is coming?" ”
"I counted! You said that no one from the Jiang family came for more than half a month, that was because you thought I was dead. After so long and no death news, today they went to the shop to ask for the account book, which shows that they are in urgent need of money, and they don't care and can't wait for me to die. Now that the New Year is approaching, I will be paid attention to, and people will come to see me in the house. Prepare two tables early, and don't lose your manners. Jiang Li said unhurriedly.
It's a little different, and it will be analyzed and prepared, and the pothos smiled slightly and agreed one by one.
