Chapter 90: Silver! Silver (the second watch)
Old Madam Xue was sick, and when Xue Maoye, the Marquis of Guangping, said that she was not allowed to ask Zhongfeng again, she fell into the chair with a weak body, she was finished, what use could the housewife without the right to be a housekeeper be, wouldn't even Aunt Lan and Aunt Mei be able to bully her with the favor of the Hou Ye, and these daughters-in-law could still listen to her? !
Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and hurriedly called the girl's mother-in-law: "Why don't you help the old lady in?" ”
The Guangping Marquis Mansion opened the corner door late at night, and let Lang Zhong enter the mansion, and the lights in the Liqing Courtyard were lit up all night, but no girl dared to come and go at will. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info And the mother-in-law in charge of the house was called to Qionghua Courtyard by the Chen family overnight for questioning, and the house suddenly became noisy, and even the little guy who guarded the door knew that something was wrong in the Hou Mansion, and he didn't dare to be lazy anymore, and honestly guarded the gate.
It's just that Qiongbi Courtyard is still as calm as before, Shen Ruohua came back from Mingguang Temple, he was really tired, he freshened up early and rested, and slept soundly until dawn, not knowing the chaos in the Hou Mansion the night before.
Mama Xia personally brought the decoction in, and said with a smile on her face to Shen Ruohua, who was letting Yao Tao comb her hair: "Lady, I was afraid that there was a night of trouble over there yesterday, but I heard from Liu Er's family early this morning, the chef has already been instructed, and in the future, the old lady's meals and decoction will be sent to Liqing Courtyard, and there is no need to send them to Hou Ye's Xianghua Courtyard." ”
Shen Ruohua raised her eyebrows and laughed: "It seems that he was locked up in Liqing Courtyard." ”
"No, in the past, I could always see Mama Chang walking around in the account room, which was amazing, but now I don't see it." Mama Xia was very happy when she thought that Mrs. Xue and the people in Liqing Courtyard were grounded, and last time Mama Chang snatched Shen Ruohua's dowry, she hated them to death, "I heard that Mrs. Shizi asked those housekeepers to reply last night, and asked about the errand, and they didn't disperse until dawn, so I'm afraid I want Mrs. Shizi to be in charge." ”
Shen Ruohua pursed her lips slightly, looked at the peach in the bronze mirror and gently pulled her black hair into a bun with the clouds: "Mrs. Shizi is really not simple, accompanied the old lady to Mingguang Temple to give porridge, everything was done by her, but there was no punishment at all, the notoriety was borne by the old lady, she also got the right to be a housekeeper, and the old lady couldn't blame her, it was really leaky." ”
She picked a white hosta for the peach hairpin, and then said: "It's just that I'm too anxious, the old lady has just been robbed of the housekeeper's rights and fell ill, she asked questions overnight, and it was inevitable that she would show her heart." ”
Mama Xia put down the decoction with a smile: "It's also that the old lady was too arbitrary before, saying that she let Mrs. Shizi be in charge, but she asked about everything one by one, and Mrs. Shizi was just a name." ”
Yao Tao put the last white jade sideburns on the hairpin, and then interjected: "The maid looks at Mrs. Shizi is quite kind, how can she be so powerful." ”
Mama Xia glanced at her: "What do you know, but where there is a calculation, it will be easy for people to see, Mrs. Shizi is afraid that she has already planned it." She urged Shen Ruohua to eat the decoction, but she frowned, and told her another thing: "There is another thing, I don't dare to hide it from the lady, the third master has not come to the account to receive the silver in the past two days, but he goes out of the house every day, and goes to the west wing every day to sit for a while, and then rests in the south wing, just ......"
"Early this morning, Chunxiang in the west wing took fifty taels of silver to buy the mother-in-law, and asked her to buy bird's nest for Aunt Lian and come back, and asked the mother-in-law to keep quiet." The more Mama Xia said, the more she felt that it was wrong, Shen Ruohua had already ordered not to buy more for the West Wing, but just delivered two meals a day, where did Aunt Lian get the money to spend it.
Shen Ruohua was not surprised, but smiled slightly: "I think it's where the third master got the silver, after all, he was reluctant to use the silver in her stomach." ”
"Third Master?" Mama Xia didn't believe it, but she knew that in addition to spending silver like flowing water, where did the third master know what economic methods, and he often spent all his money when he got it, if it wasn't for his own lady who had been giving him the silver in the pressure box, his sleeves would have been empty, "Didn't you borrow it from someone?" ”
Shen Ruohua didn't have the interest to know where his silver came from, she just helped the sideburns that had slipped a little: "Let him be, he got it himself." It's just that since he has silver, these two aunts should be raised by himself. ”
She said to Mama Xia: "Tell me to go down, except for the monthly money in these two rooms, let them take care of the third master by themselves, and the third master will have a way." ”
Mama Xia agreed, but said in a low voice: "The third master has a loose hand this time, will someone invite Mrs. Qi again......
A sneer appeared on Shen Ruohua's lips: "Naturally, I will, I haven't succeeded yet, how can our third master throw away his hand, I'm afraid that someone will soon invite Qi Niangzi over." ”
Mama Xia pursed her lips in disgust: "In the past two days, the Qi lady has been wandering around in front of the Hou Mansion, maybe she will enter the mansion that day." She looked at Shen Ruohua, "Could it be that they had a private meeting?" ”
Shen Ruohua smiled meaningfully: "Of course we can't help it, we have to plan carefully." She didn't want to be so easy to accomplish this pair of dog men and women.
Qionghua Courtyard is not as easy as Qiongbi Courtyard at this time, Chen looked at all the account books, the more she looked at the frowns, although she said that she was in charge of the affairs of the Hou Mansion, but she could only look at some of the account books on the public account, these account books in previous years and the key in the old lady's hand have never been handed over to her, and she can only know how much silver is in the account.
At this time, the old lady fell ill, and the Hou Ye forced Chang Mama to send all the account books and keys over, she carefully looked at it for a long time, only to find that there was really not much silver left in the Hou Mansion, except for the original grange title deed was not moved, almost all the cash and most of the silver on the account were taken by the old lady to put the money, that is, all of them were lost, and there was less than 1,000 taels of silver left in the account.
She originally thought that losing the silver would definitely be a big loss of vitality, but she always thought that the old lady must still have a bottom in her hand, and no matter how bad the money sent by the soup kitchens could be repaid, and other silver could be slowly moved from the shop, but she guessed wrong, the Hou Mansion can't afford to lose the silver now!
Chen Shi looked at the account books blankly, rubbed her forehead, and couldn't imagine that she really tried her best to get a hot potato for herself, she looked up and asked Mama Chang, who no longer had that ostentatious momentum: "Did the old lady ever say that now that there is no silver at all, how can I compensate those people in the house?" "The old lady will definitely not think about it, if she doesn't think about accompanying the silver to those mansions, the Hou Ye will definitely be angry, and he will mention the matter of sending her to Zhuangzi, and he will find that the silver is gone.
Mama Chang said with a bitter face: "The old lady said that it is better to sell the 100 acres of land of the previous third lady and exchange it for silver to accompany them." ”
