With Lin He and Lin Yuan supervising the workers, everything in the academy is going smoothly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Lin Daiyu asked about the income and expenditure of various places, and the housekeeper reported on the distribution of benefits for the New Year of the shop and craftsmen.

The next day, Lai Er from Ningfu took someone to Jinxiufang to pick up the goods. The butler himself came forward to receive them, ordered the men to fetch the list, and the carriage that had prepared the goods also drove out, and waited in the backyard of the fairfair. The housekeeper took Lai Er and the others over and proofread the list one by one:

"The gold thread makeup brocade and doroni that your house wants, our master ordered to move all the stocks in the shops in Suzhou, and there are twenty horses for each of them. The peacock gold thread was woven with a total of twenty-five horses. Fifty pieces of black and gold thread and fifty pieces of bright red feather yarn, and eighty pieces of shadow yarn. The other brocades of all colors, fifty horses were also removed, and they were all of the finest goods. Lai Yegui is the housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion, and he also knows that the annual output of these precious materials is scarce. ”

Lai Er's face was a little unsightly. That Lai Pozi boasted in front of him that day, saying that Lin Daiyu agreed, he thought that Jinxiufang would definitely try their best to do it for them, but who knew that these people were just doing things in a decent manner, and they didn't mean to scold these royal relatives of Jiafu at all.

Although things are not yet fully prepared, it is better than nothing, Lai Er said "hard work" to the housekeeper of the Lin family, and ordered the little servants under his command to drive the carriage. The housekeeper smiled and invited Lai Er to drink tea in the living room. Lai Er was so enthusiastic that he had to tell the servants to go back first, and he followed the housekeeper to the living room.

The butler's face was full of joy and he ordered the best tea to be served. One is the butler of the Guogong Mansion with a false title, and the other is the former butler of the Salt Imperial History Mansion who was in power. Na Lai Er has always been arrogant and arrogant, and there are people who give face everywhere he goes, but at this moment, here in Steward Lin, not only can he not have the upper hand in terms of tongue and tongue, but he is also not better in terms of the background and background of the main family, and he is inevitably a little unwilling. took the material as the beginning of the conversation, and became sarcastic in words.

The housekeeper Lin Zhuo was not a casual temper with people, and he was pressing Lai Er and Yi everywhere at the moment, just to lead him to talk to this. As soon as he saw Lai Er take the bait, the housekeeper's smile became more and more warm: "Since our master knew that Uncle Zhen of your mansion wanted to use the materials in the shop, he immediately said: 'Everything that can be used, try to take it out and prepare it, even if it affects the business of some shops, we have to take care of the eldest cousin's family first." So I waited overnight and was busy transferring goods everywhere. The master also said, 'Since my grandfather's family built a garden, the money must be tight, and the people who come with them to get the goods do not have to be calculated according to the usual price, but only charge half of the price as a deposit, and the remaining balance is not a big deal even if it is counted in three or five years. 'Steward Lai, you said, although the master of our family is young, he is rare and thoughtful, generous, and understands the difficulties of relatives. ”

Lai Er's face suddenly darkened, and he secretly slandered: "Didn't the dead mother-in-law of the family say that the chicks of the Lin family are very coaxing, as long as they come directly to pick up the goods, don't you understand that money is a good thing?" This mind is no worse than that of an adult. ”

He complained in his heart with a dark face, but the housekeeper just took the tea and tasted it slowly, and glanced up at Lai Er from time to time to appreciate the change in his face.

Slander is slander, he is the chief butler of Ning Mansion, and he also has a silver ticket and a sign from Qianzhuang, and he asked at the moment: "How many taels of silver do you need in total?" ”

The butler's heart was happy, his smile became more and more kind, he took out the list from his sleeve, and said: "The purchase price of one horse is two hundred taels, the purchase price of one horse is two hundred taels, the purchase price of Doroni is three hundred taels per horse, and the purchase price of each horse of peacock gold thread hundred velvet is also three hundred taels." The purchase price of black and gold feather yarn is one hundred and fifty taels per horse, the big red feather yarn is one hundred taels per horse, the shadow yarn is eighty taels per horse, and the other brocades are calculated according to the purchase price, thirty taels per horse. ”

As he spoke, he instructed his man to take the abacus and calculate it in front of Lai Er: "A total of 58,400 taels of silver, half of the cash silver is 29,200 taels, make up a whole number, and Lai Steward will pay a deposit of 30,000 yuan first." You can go back and tell Uncle Zhen in your house, and the balance can be settled within three or five years. ”

Raiji's eyebrows were twisted into a kawako shape. When they came out, they only prepared 100,000 taels as funds. Originally, according to the calculations on the account, it was enough, but as soon as Jia Zhen came, she fell in love with two Qinglou red cards, and one of them spent 10,000 taels of silver to redeem herself. At present, less than one-third of the fabric alone is prepared, and half of the silver will be spent, so it is naturally very reluctant.

But the housekeeper of the Lin family has already waited here, and the price is really to take care of relatives, and the deposit of 30,000 taels has to be handed over. With a bitter face, Lai Er took out Qian Zhuang's signature book, wrote a note of 30,000 taels of silver, and took out the seal and seal clay he carried with him, and carefully stamped the seal. As long as you take this note, go to the money bank to withdraw the money.

Lai Er looked at the Lin family's housekeeper with a smile on his face and accepted the note, and he didn't know how he said goodbye to him, he only felt dizzy, and his steps seemed to be in the clouds. When he came to his senses, he found himself standing on the bustling street.

Where do you go to buy all the ingredients left? Lai Er thought about it, he had to go to the major silk shops to buy it, with the less than 50,000 taels of silver left in his hand, it was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket, not to mention adding some antique ornaments, barrier screens and the like, and buying girls who studied opera.

He was standing next to the carriage and was about to get on the carriage, when he suddenly saw a row of more than a dozen luxurious doors not far in front of him, with an endless stream of people coming and going, going in and out.

"Let's go and have a look at that house." Lai Er said to the little guy who was driving the car. The little guy said "hey", and when Lai Er got in the car and sat down, he shook the reins and walked to the silk shop over there.

When he arrived at the door, he had just gotten out of the car, when suddenly a person walked across the street, looking a little familiar.

Lai Er was still trying to identify, but the other party had already greeted him, and said with both hands: "Steward Lai, how are you doing?" ”
