Early the next morning, Ru Xi asked Chaolu about Lang Chinese medicine, so she sent Xia Yue to Chi's family to ask a trustworthy Lang Zhong to come for a follow-up consultation, and she took Cai Wan to Qiu's mother and the housekeeper Pu Quan's daughter-in-law to talk about the dowry and the matter of receiving the gift.

Qiu's mother is Chi's companion, and she is an old family member who watched Chi's grow up, regardless of how she doesn't show virtue to others, she is very loyal to her master. Seeing that the Chi family is now in a hurry to get sick like this, and the Chi family's lone seedling Chi Zhugui is injured like that, not to mention going to Beijing to run for the future, now I am afraid that the "certain blessing" of marrying a wife and having children in the future will become a problem, and Qiu's mother's resentment and resentment towards Ruji in her heart do not need to be mentioned. Although he lowered his eyebrows and did not dare to disobey head-on when he replied at this moment, the old servants wanted to save the country and take the road of "non-violence and non-cooperation", but there were many tricks.

A lot of old ledgers were brought out, saying that the last third of Yanwei's dowry was large pieces of furniture and porcelain, and many of them were in Jiyang. Because after Pu Yu married Yan Wei and before entering the Hanlin Academy, there was a very short period of exile, that is, he served as a superintendent in Jiyang Mansion for a year and a half. When they were released from Beijing, Pu Luo and Yan Wei probably thought that they would be released all year round, and even settled in Jiyang, so they moved a lot of furniture, porcelain and other large items over, but when they were transferred back to Beijing, they didn't know why they didn't bring all of them back. Now that Ru Xi wants to pursue Yanwei's dowry, then the thing is over there. But the old furniture and porcelain is not easy to move, the road is easy to damage, and the weather is getting colder, after the winter, there is a lot of rain and snow in Jiyang, if you want to move those furniture and porcelain in a hurry, I am afraid that the cost of transportation will be discounted a lot. If Ru Ji wants to send someone to Jiyang to sell those old things for discount, it is naturally okay, then the price will be worse if she is in a hurry, so you are not in a hurry...... Just take it slowly.

In a word, the dowry has, on the account. Want cash? Just wait.

Regarding this paragraph of Jiyang's release, Ru Ji probably heard of it in his previous life memory. But whether Yanwei thought that he lived permanently and whether he moved his family back then, that can only be asked by the old people back then. At this time, Qiu's mother said it calmly and steadily, which sounded reasonable, but people couldn't find anything wrong for a while.

However, Ruji's five-year shopping mall fight is for nothing? Procrastination policy is the most common situation faced by salespeople, "you wait first, there is news to inform you", "we have to have another meeting", "we have to communicate again", in fact, the essence is the same, they are all euphemistic refusals, the real subtext is: you, wait and go!

"As a wife, Qiu's mother actually knows so clearly about the affairs of the old man and my mother, as if she saw it, it is really rare." The corners of Ruji's lips rose slightly, but her bright eyes were as sharp as knives, "Mrs. is from Jiyang Mansion, right?" Uncle seems to be a colleague or subordinate of the master at that time? No wonder, no wonder Ruyan is only a little more than a year younger than me, and the Jiyang Chi family is really good. ”

Qiu's mother immediately changed her face, although Chi and Ruyan Rushu were not present, but the housekeeper Pu Quan's daughter-in-law was there, and there were also the main housekeepers' daughters-in-law who were purchased in the kitchen outside, and the eldest girl was going to slap his wife's mother's face in public? And the meaning of Ruji's words is very powerful, pointing directly at the virtue of the Chi family's boudoir, and knocking the entire Chi family to death with a rod.

"The eldest girl is called the dowry of Mrs. Cha Xiantou, and the old slave naturally does not dare to slack off." Qiu's mother is a living servant of the Chi family, her husband's surname is Qiu, and her mother's family is also surnamed Chi. I just don't know that it's a sin to find out clearly, and whatever the girl says is what it is! ”

Qiu's mother's words are indignant, and they are not groundless. Yan Xiao's method of shocking the Chi clan was to call Chen Hao to arrest people on the grounds that Huan Ningbo's mansion was stolen. Qiu's mother, as the Chi family's companion, bore the brunt of accountability. Although he was not tortured for the two or three days he spent in Jingzhao Yamen, he was also terrified. Putting aside the matter of Yanwei's dowry, just talking about the "theft of Huan Ningbo's mansion", Qiu's mother is indeed wronged.

Ru Ji smiled when she heard this: "Mother Qiu, as the saying goes, there are gods three feet above your head, I believe in the way of heaven, and the retribution is not happy." You have a reason for being so resentful, and I will not argue with you. It's just that it came out to mix, and sooner or later it will have to be returned. You yourself have done things that are red and white, bullying people, and helping your wife to do things that hide from the world and steal beams and pillars, you know very well in your heart. Now I have seen this account, and I understand the difficulties. Since you said that you want to do your best, how about you go to Jiyang Mansion in person? You were originally from Jiyang, and you want to be more good at handling these, and when you will come back when they are sold out. What do you think? ”

Going to Jiyang? Now that the Pu family's finances are so tight, I am afraid that the money for the business trip subsidy will make Qiu's mother sleep in the Jiyang Mansion. But that's still a small section, and the most important thing is how many things are in that small house in Jiyang, and how much money can be sold, Qiu's mother knows best in her heart. If you can't go back to Beijing if you can't sell out, then how can you go back to Beijing in this life?

Mother Qiu's face changed and changed: "This, this, big girl," her tone finally softened a little, "Mrs. is sick now, how can the old slave leave Mrs. ......"

Ru Xi slowly smiled: "If Mother Qiu doesn't want to go to Jiyang, I naturally won't ask someone to tie you up in the carriage." It's just that the matter of recovering the dowry of the late mother has no reason to stop and delay. You are so capable, then bother to solve the furniture and porcelain of Jiyang for me to think of a way next to me, and talk back tomorrow. Yan Yan waved his hand, signaling that Qiu's mother could withdraw, and then turned to the housekeeper Pu Quan's daughter-in-law: "My wife cut the amount of money in the house before, what is the situation now?" ”

Pu Quan's daughter-in-law watched the confrontation between Ruxi and Qiu's mother, and she didn't dare to slack off in her heart, so she hurriedly replied with a smile: "If you go back to the eldest girl, the use of the whole house, except for Yueluju, has been reduced by at least half." "The general situation is similar to what Lingzhi asked before, but it is more comprehensive and detailed. Among them, the most inevitable thing for Pu Quan's daughter-in-law to complain is naturally the deduction of the monthly money of the subordinates. Although according to the body deed, the vast majority of servants and maids are sold to take refuge, life and death are determined by the master's family, and it is not a crime not to give monthly money, but that is only theoretical. Now that the Chi family is short of money, they will directly halve everyone's salary, except for the old servants like Qiu's mother, who are loyal to the Chi family and are not short of money, even if the others dare not say anything to the Chi family on the surface, they are naturally complaining behind their backs.

As for the big and small masters of the Pu family, they are also all kinds of wolves now. Chi Cuiliu almost had to hang herself so that she hadn't been moved to Willow Hutong, but of course the maid was gone, and her daily use was only two dishes and one soup, with a monthly money of eight hundred, which was the same as the previous example of the big maids in the main house. Ruyan Rushu and Xiaozong Xiaozu, these serious girls and young masters of the Pu family are naturally better, but they are only half better than Chi Cuiliu.

Cai Wan couldn't help but sneer: "It's not too bitter, isn't it like this for how many years the original Moon Dew has lived." ”

Pu Quan's daughter-in-law had a little sneer on her face: "Yes, yes, it's not easy for the eldest girl to come to Ji Tai now." ”

Ru Ji waved her hand: "What happened in the original has nothing to do with those of you who obey orders. As for seeing the wind and making the rudder, that is also human nature. In the past, when the moon dew was in trouble, you and Pu Quan never fell into the well, and I remembered your well. ”

Pu Quan's daughter-in-law bowed again and again, her face full of gratitude: "The eldest girl is serious, you are really generous and transparent, no matter how good you are, the slaves and maids will definitely do a good job for the eldest girl in the future." ”

Ru Xi smiled and motioned to Cai Wan to hand over the red envelope: "It's been hard work in the past month, but I'm just temporarily taking over for a while during the days when my wife is sick, and it's not me who is in charge of this family." The rules of the monthly money share are still according to the wife's wishes. This little meaning is not in the eyes of your big steward, but a little heart, just take it and drink tea. ”

Pu Quan's daughter-in-law took it, and when she pinched it, she knew that it was a silver bill, and she couldn't help but smile: "Thank you, girl." ”

Ru Ji waved her hand to stop her remaining compliments: "You are the lady in charge, and I will not hide it from you when I am busy next." I want to buy myself a small yard and a shop, and I must often go out, so I will only give me a carriage, and I will have my own coachman's servant, so I don't need to leave the house. As for the matter of feeding at home, Miss Chaolu will take Cai Wan to preside over it, and their words are my words. The rules and regulations for all expenses follow the previous cut of the wife, but if you do a good job, Yueluju will naturally have a reward. After a pause, he took a sip of tea, and said, "Mrs. 's illness, I have already asked Xia Yue to invite a good Lang Zhong who is familiar with Bofu, and in the future, my wife will take medicine and eat, and she will follow Lang Zhong's instructions." If the second girl and the third girl are not satisfied, tell them to talk to the master. ”

Pu Quan's daughter-in-law responded again and again, and Ru Ji handed over the rest of the details to Chaolu and Caiyun, and went to concentrate on planning the opening of the tea shop. Before the crossing, Ru Ji could only be regarded as half a foodie, although she likes to go out to eat, her cooking skills are very ordinary. So for business, Ru Xi doesn't have much creative ability to open a big restaurant hotel, just wants to sell drinks and snacks, develop some set fast food, and it is best to become a chain in the future, and you can live a leisurely life.

Nowadays, milk is a rare thing, and cream and the like are even more unreliable, but fruit tea can still be easily cured. Salted crispy chicken, dried rice, omelet rice, french fries, etc. are also very simple. Local materials, with sales, many business models in modern society can be appropriately substituted, such as Ji while writing the package plan and membership system, while imagining the future of the silver and a well-off life, unconsciously wrote at noon.

After a simple lunch, Ruji wanted to take a nap, but she didn't want to welcome a completely unexpected guest.
