Chapter IV: Tokens

The pothos got the order to go out early in the morning. www.biquge.info The snow has melted and the weather has cleared.

The two mothers-in-law who got up early looked a little surprised. Obviously, I saw two girls in the middle of the night in the middle of the night in the main room, and I was afraid that there would be news of death in the morning, and it seemed that she had survived again. This master's life is really hard.

The green pothos ignored the surprised eyes of her mother-in-law, and she didn't care about the two of them sleeping last night when she had happy events in her heart. With a smile on his face, he went out to ask for a carriage and horses.

The plum village is divided into two entrances, and the master and the girl are inhabited, and the servant women take turns to keep vigil on the middle corner door. Outside lived a coachman, a small servant, and an old servant.

The old servant has a waist and crane hair, and he was left in charge when Jiang Li's grandfather placed this piece of Zhuangzi in the early years, and it has been three generations. Seeing that the pothos asked for the carriage early in the morning, she stepped forward on crutches with a white face and said, "But is the girl seriously ill again?" ”

As soon as the pothos turned around and saw that it was him, she smiled and said, "Mabel, the girl is fine now." Tell me to go and inform the shopkeeper Ge, saying that he is tired of his illness and is worried about him. "The old servant's surname is Mei, and he is also the third lady's maiden family, and there may be the Jiang family's eyeliner in the courtyard, but there is no need to avoid Mei Bo.

Mei Bo's old face also smiled at the walnut pattern, and said: "Just call my boy to go to this errand business, this girl is just sick, and you have been tired for a long time." As he spoke, he turned around and shouted at a room outside the corridor: "Four joys, four joys!" ”

In response, a round and round-haired young man rushed out, with thick eyebrows and handsome eyes, a white and fat face, bright eyes, a head taller than the pothos, a gray cotton robe, a brown fur jacket, a simple smile, looking a little silly.

Mabel pointed to the boy and said, "This is my youngest grandson, and I don't like to be controlled by his father and mother in the city, so I ran to this country." It's useless to study, specialize in some fist and foot kung fu, and look at it, although you are stupid, it's okay to work and run errands. Shopkeeper Ge is also familiar with him, is it feasible to run this trip for the girl? ”

Sixi rushed forward, and when he heard that it was just errands, he pouted happily.

Green Pothos didn't want to let him go, and he was not happy to see him, but said: "Don't dare to work and run errands." The girl told me to run myself, and I had to go back as soon as possible. I think other guys are too slow to catch the car, and I would be grateful if they could give me a ride! ”

Sixi drooped his head and was silent, and Mabel couldn't stop saying: "Go quickly, don't go and prepare a horse for Sister Luthos!" ”

Sixi jumped into the carriage silently, and sure enough, he galloped all the way away.

The carriage was bumpy for a long time, and the pothos was napping, the car stopped suddenly, and the green voice of Sixi sounded: "The silk shop has arrived, won't Sister Luluo get out of the car?" ”

The pothos woke up in an instant, holding her head dizzily, and lifted the curtain with one hand to go down.

Suddenly, a familiar carriage came into view: the familiar cloud and water pattern decoration on the carved carriage of vermilion lacquer, and the word 'river' embroidered on the blue silk curtain. The two young men in green clothes and white socks in front of the car, but I don't know who is from the Jiang family? The clothes of the masters in the Jiang family's mansion were all made by someone sent by the shop to come to the door in person, but what did the people come here for at this time?

Pothos shrunk back and sat back with a groan, telling Sixi to drive the car to the back door.

The back door was wide open, and among the few people there happened to be the guy who used to be the shopkeeper of Ge to make Meizhuang move around.

The guy took the pothos straight to the front hall, and Sixi stayed at the back door to laugh and chat with the guys.

In the front hall, the shopkeeper Ge, who was fifty miles away, was dressed in a brocade robe and looked rich and shrewd. At this time, he was drinking tea with a cold face, and a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper opposite was waiting for the shopkeeper Ge to reply with an uneasy expression.

This person has some impressions, it seems that he is a steward surnamed Lin in the big house, and he usually follows the eldest master out to run errands. I wondered how this man had come here.

After a while, I heard Steward Lin say to Shopkeeper Ge with a dry smile: "Shopkeeper Ge is giving a happy word, when can I hand over the account book, I will also talk back!" ”

The shopkeeper was about to speak, but the man stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear and handed over the letter.

The letter was brought by the pothos, and it was Jiang Li's handwritten letter.

Jiang Li often followed his mother to the shop when he was a child, and he had some impressions of the handwriting. It's just that it's a little different now, the pen is more vigorous and free, and the juan show is capable, especially the plum blossom seal at the end of the paragraph is particularly eye-catching. This is a token passed down by the Mei family to her daughter in charge of more than a dozen shops, with gems and beads and flower seals, and seeing things is like seeing people.

Shopkeeper Ge let out a long sigh of relief and smiled easily.

Steward Lin saw that Shopkeeper Ge's iceberg-like face was happy, thinking that things had taken a turn for the better, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ge has figured it out?" Not to mention that you and I are both servants, we shouldn't be in trouble. Besides, the old lady of the Jiang family is still alive now, and there is no separation in the third room, they are all stirred in a pot, and the men of the Jiang family ignore the economy, as the daughter-in-law of the long house, the grandmother is now at home, and the third grandmother is gone, it makes sense that she just wants to collect the account book! ”

Shopkeeper Ge slapped his face when he opened his mouth: "Yes, we are all servants, but one respects Jiang and the other respects Mei." Besides, the Jiang family left our girl's sick daughter outside without knowing whether she was alive or dead, so they rushed to ask for the account book. I know that the Jiang family is harmonious, and the eldest grandmother takes care of the inheritance for the granddaughter of the Mei family. I don't know, I still said that the Jiang family ignored the patient, but reached out to cross the line to make money! If it is ugly, it will be said that the Jiang family is so poor that they are worried about the marriage of their daughter-in-law! Therefore, if the housekeeper of Fulin brings a word and pays the account book, don't mention it again in the future. ”

Steward Lin's purple face rose and stood up, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, and pointed at the shopkeeper Ge and said, "You, you, the shopkeeper of the Mei family dare to belittle the Jiang family like this!" You can't get rid of these shops, either the surname Mei or the surname Jiang, you won't have the surname Ge! Mrs. Mei has been gone for more than half a year, wouldn't it be natural to hand it back to the Jiang family, how can you tolerate the posture of a small shopkeeper! ”

The shopkeeper Ge smiled kindly: "Ge just remembers that he is the shopkeeper of the Mei family, so as long as the Mei family still has a little blood, these account books will not be in the hands of the Jiang family!" Steward Lin, do you want to make you tea again? ”

This is to drive people, and the pothos listens pleasantly.

Steward Lin shook his sleeves and stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Why does Shopkeeper Ge have to be this wicked person!" If you don't pay it at this time, can you still not pay it when the third master comes back and he comes in person? Mrs. Mei's marriage, the third master naturally did the master. At that time, Aunt Zhao will not be able to be at home, and the third master will not be handed over to the family to take care of, aren't you making trouble in vain! ”

"Give it to the third master? Not necessarily! Does the third master have a token? Not to mention that the token of the Mei family is not in the hands of the third master, even if the third master takes it away, I will also give it to my master: his daughter is gone, and his granddaughter is wronged, and he can't take back his granddaughter and the things from the dowry to take care of it! The shopkeeper said calmly.

Steward Lin's words were choked in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound anymore, so he flicked his sleeves and went out.
