Chapter 142: The Third Miss is back
Beiyuan, the capital. Old Man Shen flipped through the accounts page by page, and suddenly slapped his palm on the table, the big shopkeeper Huang Liang was startled, and secretly glanced at Aunt Hong, seeing that the master was sitting upright without changing his face, and he was also bold.
"There are more than a dozen shops well, and the original income accounts for half of the expenses of the Shen Mansion, but now you actually say that you can't make ends meet and can't go on!"
Aunt Hong had already been blowing the wind next to Shen Zhiyong's ears, and after secretly pulling it at this time, Shen Zhiyong frowned and said, "Father divided the expenses of the Shen Mansion into three, and each room spent its own expenses. The eldest brother and the second brother are businessmen, needless to say, how much money can I make as a third-grade waiter? Now that Yue'er has reached the age of saying that she is married, she always has to buy some dowry, and Lian'er also needs to go in and out of the poetry club, which is not a place to spend money. What's more, the competition between shops in the capital is bad, and the shops have been able to maintain very well until now. ”
Old Man Shen didn't get angry for the first time.
What Shen Zhiyong said is absolutely true.
Especially in the capital, a commercial house suddenly opened, and more than a dozen shops under its name are top-notch, especially monopolizing the sales and distribution channels, so that many shops can only rely on them to eat and live.
"So what do you want to do today?"
Old Man Shen glared at Aunt Hong grimly.
Although it was found out that Aunt Lin deliberately framed Aunt Hong last time, Aunt Lin committed suicide in fear of crime, which made him have a problem with this delicate concubine on weekdays.
Especially in the decline of these shops, Old Man Shen is even more displeased with Aunt Hong.
"Back to the old lady, the day before yesterday, the big shopkeeper of Yunxi Commercial Bank found the small one and said that he was willing to buy the shop in our Shen Mansion. The price offered is also twice as high as the market price. ”
Huang Liang stood up and replied respectfully.
Old Man Shen sneered and snorted coldly: "Hmph, market price? Could it be that you already had the idea of transferring the shop out and inquired about the market early? ”
Huang Liang lowered his head in fright, and his body arched even lower.
Before he could argue, Old Man Shen had already gotten up, and said coldly: "These shops are all dowries left by Yao'er's mother!" Zhiyong, if you sell it, how will you explain it to Xiao'er? ”
Shen Zhiyong raised his head and smiled bitterly and said: "She is very prosperous in Yujiang City, I heard that she has a deal with the businessman Gu Li, and she almost became the princess of the Jingguo Mansion, and she followed Mr. Hanxi to travel far away, she still has the Shen Mansion in her eyes?" Does she still care about the more than a dozen shops in this area that can't make a living? ”
"Rebel!"
Old lady Shen trembled angrily, picked up the teacup and smashed it, and Aunt Hong exclaimed in surprise and protected Shen Zhiyong.
The teacup smashed into Aunt Hong's forehead, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed despite the bloodshot that slid down her face: "The old lady is angry, this peddling shop is the concubine's idea." These shops can only be closed, and they are worthless even as a dowry. The concubine thought that she could deposit the silver tickets she peddled into the money bank, and then put it into the dowry of the young child with interest. ”
Aunt Hong raised her head, and Shen Zhiyong saw that the corner of her forehead was broken, so she hurriedly supported her, and said goodbye to Old Man Shen with a gloomy face: "My son helped Yu'er down to bandage first." ”
Old Man Shen didn't expect this Aunt Hong to protect her third son, and he felt a little relieved in his heart, and waved his hand to let them all go down, leaving only the chief manager Ah Cheng.
Old lady Shen stroked her forehead for a while before muttering, "Actually, what I can't let go of is Zhiyong." You said that this child is obviously very affectionate to Gu Yatou, why is he so unwilling to see this child? ”
Ah Cheng thought for a while and said in a low voice: "The so-called love is deep, and the hate is cut." After the third lady gave birth to the third lady, she was sick and sick, and the third master had a mustard for the third lady. Back then, that kick was in the heart of the third lady, and she almost ...... Almost went like that. ”
"Love is deep, hate is deep. You old thing, you've learned to write crepe. ”
"Master forgot, Ah Cheng was born in Xiu Cai back then!"
When Ah Cheng and the old lady were alone, they didn't look like masters and servants, but like friends.
"You! Hey, we're all old. When a person is old, his heart will not be ruthless. Originally, I was thinking of looking for a family affair for Zhiyong this year, but he said that he would straighten out this Hongyu. I said that he wouldn't think about it unless I died. ”
Old Lady Shen shook her head and sighed.
Ah Cheng took over and said, "I'm afraid that the third master will not agree to marry." ”
Old lady Shen nodded and said dejectedly: "You have also seen that he has been a stubborn cow since he was a child. I don't bother to care about him, it's good to see the Shen family prosperous in my lifetime. ”
Ah Cheng echoed and said: "The third master is a person who values love and righteousness. Although it failed to be corrected, the whole Shen Mansion called Aunt Hong 'Mrs.', which shows that the third master is attentive. ”
"Humph! I think he's just promiscuous! On the one hand, he can't forget Gu Yatou, he is listless all day long, and on the other hand, he does everything possible to protect his aunt, what kind of love is he! ”
Old Lady Shen said angrily, suddenly remembering Shen Tiange, and her face stretched again.
His Shen family, there is also a Dinghai God Needle!
"Old lady, here, here......"
A little guy was panting, and before he reached the hall, he was already shouting at the top of his voice.
Ah Cheng walked out a few steps and scolded: "You monkey, why are you yelling in the old lady's yard, what kind of system do you become?" ”
The little maid wiped his face and said with a smile: "It's the third lady who has come back, and she has passed the Hanging Flower Gate." ”
Old Man Shen walked out in three steps and two steps: "Third Miss is back?" ”
The little guy nodded hurriedly, but Old Man Shen had already walked past him and walked out.
The third lady wrote that she was going to come back this month, and she didn't say what day it was, but she came back at such a stall, which was really timely.
No wonder Aunt Hong and they are in a hurry to sell the shop.
Ah Cheng thought about it, suddenly shook his head and followed.
He always felt that since the death of the third lady, the house has always been not very quiet.
Aunt Hong wrapped her head in cotton cloth and was snuggling in Shen Zhiyong's arms.
Hearing the news that Shen Tingge was back, he hurriedly sat up.
"What are you doing here?"
"The third lady is back, and Yu'er wants to go to greet her."
Aunt Hong said, smiling softly, and was happy to see Shen Zhiyong frowning.
"What are you going to do to meet her? You are the head of the house, and she should come to greet you. ”
Shen Zhiyong couldn't tell his feelings about this daughter anymore, but he was always irritated when he heard her name.
Aunt Hong's face turned cold and said with a wry smile: "Yu'er knows that her husband feels sorry in her heart, but Yu'er, the head of the house, is not rightly named, and when she sees Miss Yan, she always has to bow her head." Besides, how could Yu'er make trouble for her husband again. Yu'er doesn't care about her identity, as long as her husband is good to Yu'er, it's nothing if she is wronged. ”
Shen Zhiyong, who said Aunt Hong's self-love and self-pity, blamed himself even more, and he hugged Aunt Hong into his arms and comforted: "Yu'er, I have seen your hard work all these years. Don't worry, I'll give you an identity. ”
