CHAPTER XXXI
Mama Wu took the man with her when she returned to Luju, and when they appeared in front of Xi Cui, Xi Cui almost couldn't help screaming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Mama Wu is finally back, Xi Cui seems to have found the backbone immediately, relieved, or something else, she can't say clearly, too many things have happened recently, she can't wait to pull Mama Wu and say a few days and nights.
The man beside her was an existence that was hard to ignore, and Xi Cui couldn't help but look at him a few more times. The black coarse cloth robe, loosely draped on the body, in the deep winter wax moon, such a swaggering outfit really makes people can't help but look sideways. At first glance, he is a practitioner.
Seeing Xi Cui staring at the man, Mama Wu just smiled and pulled her in front of the man, "Third Brother Duan, can you clearly see that this girl is Xi Cui, now you can take out the things that the young master wants you to bring?" ”
The man stood up straight, bowed to Xi Cui, took out a navy blue cloth bag from his arms, carefully opened the cloth bag, took out a letter from it, and respectfully handed it to Xi Cui.
Xi Cui looked at the man's appearance and hesitated, "It's for me?" ”
"The girl is Xi Cui in Mama Wu's mouth, and this letter is for you. In the second section, the three were the dart masters who went south and north, and two months ago they took over the business and ran to the southwest, but they didn't expect to encounter a war just when they arrived at the place, and the brothers were intercepted by the bandits who occupied the mountain as the king, and all the dead and wounded dart silver were robbed. When the bandit leader saw Major General Xi's army and horses coming, he took refuge in the enemy, and all the darts and silver were filial to the enemy, not to mention that he wanted to sacrifice a few of our skilled prisoners as well. Although we are reckless, we also know some national righteousness, so we naturally refuse to obey. After being entangled with the bandits, Major General Xi rescued him, and snatched the dart silver back for us, so that we could complete the transaction smoothly. According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, I Duan San has to remember the favor of Major General Xi, although the dart bureau has regretted that this favor cannot be repaid by our way of the rivers and lakes, but what we pay attention to when we walk the rivers and lakes is a letter. As long as there is a day when I Duan San is in the world, I should remember the love I owe, one is to save my life, and the other is to repay the silver, Duan San immediately swore that he was willing to repay with his life. Originally, we wanted to stay in the barracks to protect the general, but the young general didn't let us, saying that our habits were not suitable for the barracks, and we tried for a few days and didn't help much, but caused a lot of trouble for the general. The young general was reasonable and did not blame, and seeing that he couldn't easily send Duan San away, he had to write this letter and ask Duan San to hand it over to the girl, and also told Duan San not to go back when he saw the girl this time, just stay by the girl's side and take care of it, and wait for the general's triumphant return by the way. Duan San's voice was low and powerful, and he didn't despise Xi Cui at all because she was just a little girl, but she didn't read it when she saw Xi Cui holding the letter, as if she was afraid that she would doubt herself, so she hurriedly said, "Duan San said the truth, when General Xi sent me out of the barracks, he told me how to find Mama Wu, so that I could find the girl through Mama Wu." When I was in the south, I always heard the young general talk about you, and although Duan San had never met the girl, he could be regarded as having some knowledge of the girl. The Major General said that he had made clear my affairs in his letter and asked me to stay with the girl in the future. ”
Xi Cui looked at Mama Wu and slowly opened the letter when she nodded.
It was indeed Xi Yunjian's handwriting, and what he said about Duan San was not much different from what he said. Regarding this person's future arrangements, Xi Yunjian did not elaborate, only said that he wanted Xi Cui to discuss with Mama Wu to arrange an errand for him. This person's kung fu is good, and with him by his side, others can't easily enter him. But can she use such a guard for a little maid? Regarding Xi Yunjian's arrangement, Xi Cui complained but was very happy in his heart, did he already treat himself as his person to protect him?
Xi Yunjian's letter did not say anything about the situation on the border, and only talked about a few serious things, only saying that he and Nangong Yufeng are now under the command of Pingnan Hou, and this Hou Ye is grateful for his friendship with Huai'an Hou and takes care of them very much, so that she doesn't have to worry about herself. It's just that this letter said a lot of instructions to Xi Cui, telling her to discuss with Mama Wu more in case of trouble, protect Yun Ting while also considering herself properly, don't be wronged and swallow your anger, he greeted Wang Shaoyan before the expedition and asked him to take care of Xi Cui, and tell Wang Shaoyan when he encounters some unconscious people and things......
Looking at Xin Xi Cui, he suddenly felt that Xi Yunjian seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, since that long conversation on the side of the road, his words have become more and more, not at all like the Xi Yunjian he knew before.
After reading the letter, it was time to arrange Duan San's errand, and this matter must be discussed with Wang Shaoyan. After all, she and Mama Wu are just slaves in the end.
But this section of the three is different from ordinary people, he is respectful to Xi Cui, but there is a difference of 108,000 miles to others, that is, when Wang Shaoyan talks to him, he looks like he loves to ignore him. made Wang Shaoyan very unhappy, and he almost asked the nursing home to drive Duan San out of the house. Fortunately, the old lady didn't know about it for some reason, so she called Mother Mu to come over and call Xi Cui and Duan San over.
Xi Cui couldn't believe that the old lady actually let Duan live in the left side courtyard of Luju three days later. It turns out that there is one on the left and one on the left and one in the side courtyard of this open house, and Xi Cui and they are all female dependents who have been living in the right side courtyard close to the main house, and the left side courtyard has been idle. The old lady actually knew so much about Lu Ju.
Wang Shaoyan didn't know that Duan San was sent by Xi Yunjian, and after Xi Cui and he left, Mama Wu explained that she regretted her actions a little. Xi Yunjian arranged for this person to come in for the good of Yun Ting and their master and servant, although he promised him to take good care of Yun Ting and Xi Cui, it seemed that he had not done anything during this time, and he felt a little guilty in his heart. Now that the old lady has arranged people like this, it can be regarded as rounding her face, so naturally she has no objection.
It's just that there was a lot of movement outside Xi Cui's door that night. Huanhuan, who has always come and go freely, was caught by Duan San today, and it was a shame that Xi Cui's arm that had already been in charge of her was now in Duan San's hands.
Huanhuan is Aunt Yang's person, and Mama Wu knew about it a few days after she entered the Wang family, but she didn't know that this girl had kung fu. Looking at the posture in front of her, it must be that this girl is familiar with the road, it can be seen that Xi Cui has not had any days of dissipation in the past few days when she has left, and Aunt Yang gave birth to a stillborn child, Xi Cui did not follow the blind mix, right?
Mother Qi knows Huanxi's skills, Aunt Yang has been fighting with the Liu family in the Wang family all these years, if it weren't for these two girls with extraordinary skills, I don't know how many times she would have died. Now Huanhuan can't move at all in Duan San's hands, it can be seen that this section of San is even more unfathomable, she only knows that this person was sent to Yun Ting by Xi Yunjian, but why is this person guarding in front of Xi Cui's room?
After Xi Cui sent Huanhuan away, she pulled Mama Wu into the house, and told her in detail about the recent events, and after speaking, she didn't forget to ask Mama Wu what she was doing during this time? She specifically talked about how she found out about Ximei's conspiracy and how she changed the list in her room.
Mama Wu took out a list from her arms and asked Xi Cui to take the list in her hand and compare it. The content on the two sheets is exactly the same!
Mama Wu was in such a great mood that she slapped the list in her hand on the table, "The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion is really a traitor!" It's a shame that Mrs. has prepared me to write down the list on two pieces of paper, otherwise if I really ask Ximei to give all the list to the second child of the Liu family, all my hard work these days will be in vain! ”
"It seems that Mama is really not in the Hou Mansion these days, I don't know what happened, Mama even has to hide Xi Cui?" Xi Cui was really unhappy.
Mama Wu didn't explain much, but just gave her the key that she had taken with her before. "The one that was given to you at the beginning was actually the dowry of the real young lady, but this one was ordered by the lady to secretly go to the grange shop in the name of the young lady and the young master, the winery tea house, I have gone through all the accounts of these shops these days, and according to the arrangement on this list, let these people be the nominal owners of the corresponding shops. And in the end, all of these people will be at the mercy of the one who holds the key. Mama Wu said and pulled the hidden grid behind the key, and the key instantly turned into a stamp. This is the stamp of the lady's family, and these industries are also the inheritance of the lady's family, although half of them have been divided, but the rest of them are still the world's riches that ordinary people can't imagine, I didn't expect that in the lady's generation, you will have to rely on you to guard the master......"
Mama Wu, are you kidding? Xi Cui felt a chill in her heart, let alone taking care of any industry that ordinary people can't imagine, even if she is given a small fat powder shop, she is afraid that she will not be able to take care of it, okay? First of all, her inability to read the ledger is the biggest problem, okay?
Mama Wu seemed to know the doubts in her heart, and then said, "I see that there are a lot of people in the courtyard, and there seem to be only one or two of Liu's eyeliner left." Aunt Qi is a rest assured, I discussed with her to send those two out, and then this open house does not need you to serve as before, I will tell the young master about this, you have to spend more time to read the account books in the future, and after learning to manage the accounts, I will take you out to run a few shops, you have to hurry up when there is not much time. "Even if you can't learn any real skills in a short period of time, didn't the basic book left by Madame give to Xi Cui when she was in the Hou Mansion? The most important thing is that the industry left to Yun Ting accounts for the majority, and these will be left to Wang Shaoyan sooner or later, even if Xi Cui is not good at managing it, Wang Shaoyan will not sit idly by. The abacus in Mama Wu's heart began to fiddle.
Mama Wu's words made Xi Cui even more weak-hearted, it is impossible to learn to do business in such a short time, Mama Wu is obviously in a hurry to go to the doctor.
But I didn't expect Mama Wu to really do this, and the next day she took the initiative to find Qi's mother, and it happened that Liu's people had been grounded these days and were taken away by the old lady, so it was easy to send one or two of the eyeliner she had planted in the open house. Although Qi's mother didn't agree with Liu's behavior, she only had Wang Shaoyan heartily, and although her attitude towards Yun Ting was much better, if she wanted her to go against Liu for Yun Ting, I am afraid that it would not be enough to do so. She helped Xi Cui send some of Liu's eyeliner out before, and she was thinking that she wanted to repay Xi Cui's favor, but Mama Wu wanted her to completely break off Liu's control over Luju, and she still had some scruples.
Not to mention that the Liu family was only temporarily grounded, even if the Liu family was really seized power forever, her power in the Wang family over the years should not be underestimated, to say that she really offended this big Buddha, the side did not dare to say that it was easy for the Liu family to kill her little nurse.
In this case, Mama Wu is not easy to be strong, so she can only find her own way. At this time, Xi Cui can't be allowed to come forward, Xi Cui had better be as low-key as possible. So she hit the idea on Ximei.
That night, Ximei had a big fight with the two girls, because the golden hairpin that Ximei had put in the jewelry box was missing, and someone saw the two maids enter Ximei's room that day. Ximei rushed to the room of the two maids to look for it in a fit of rage, and actually asked her to find it. This can be regarded as conclusive evidence, but the two maids refused to admit it, saying that they had never been to Ximei's room at all. There was a lot of commotion, albeit a small one. In the end, the old lady came forward, who let Lu Ju not have a hostess who could talk?
The old lady sold the two maids and asked Mama Wu to pick people in from Renyazi herself, which can be regarded as handing over the big and small matters of the open house to Mama Wu to deal with. Although Qi's mother greeted her with a smile on her face, she was somewhat uncomfortable in her heart, no matter how she was the old man of the Wang family, but the old lady was obviously selling Mama Wu's favor this time. To say that you are not jealous is false.
This matter soon reached Liu's ears, and Liu, who was copying Buddhist scriptures, smashed the brush dipped in ink on the feet of Linglong, who was reporting to himself, and the ink splashed, staining Linglong's dress. Linglong dodged for a while, but still couldn't keep her clothes, and finally could only stand in place and didn't dare to move. It's not that she hasn't seen her get angry with Liu's over the years, but this time it's different, Linglong can clearly feel Liu's helplessness. At this moment, she is not so much resentful of the old lady and Mama Wu, but more of an anxiety and uneasiness about the situation she is in at the moment.
"Didn't your second brother say that Ximei was his person for a long time? Tell him to move the one named Ximei, and it seems that he can only count on her in the future......" Liu quickly sorted out his emotions, took a pen again, sat down and began to copy the Buddhist scriptures, as if the person who had lost his temper before was not himself at all.
This Mama Wu will really pick a time to come back, and she just had an accident on her front foot and she entered the Wang family on her back foot. After I came back, I didn't go directly to the open house, but went to the old lady, right? On the surface, this open-home replacement is just a trivial matter, but there are still many twists and turns. The old lady seems to have reached a consensus with Mama Wu on something, and the old lady has given Mama Wu enough face in this matter. It seems that this is closely related to what they talked about yesterday, and this matter must be investigated anyway, otherwise she will be passive in the Wang family.
These days, she reflects on what happened day and night, Aunt Yang should not be lying, the old lady should have discussed with her a long time ago to lead herself into the bait. She thought of Aunt Yang deliberately being late on the day of Laba, and the old lady was furious, and she thought that it was a great opportunity to provoke the relationship between the old lady and Aunt Yang and facilitate her own treatment of Aunt Yang, but she didn't know that the old lady and Aunt Yang were acting at that time. After this period of training, Aunt Yang's means are getting more and more powerful, this time she can actually use the child in her belly ruthlessly, so ruthless and unscrupulous, even she is beyond her reach.
But she couldn't figure out when Aunt Yang caught the old lady's line? Her eyes have been staring up and down the Begonia Garden, why do she know nothing? It seems that we can't wait for the old man to come back and make some moves, we must know the relationship between the old lady and Haitang Yuan as soon as possible, as well as the content of the secret conversation between Mama Wu and the old lady. Otherwise, before the old man came back, she was locked up here, and the old lady and Aunt Yang were outside but let go of their hands and feet, although her plan was quite thorough, but in the end, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, who knows what the scene would be like at that time? Although you can't stop them from doing anything, you must at least know what they are doing, and you will be more certain about how to deal with them when the time comes.
After Linglong left, Liu clapped his hands, and three or four men in dark blue robes suddenly popped out of the shadows, and several of them were masked. Liu didn't look at anyone, and continued to flip through the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, "Can you get in Ningju over there?" ”
One of them stood up and replied, "Mrs. Hui, all the mansions of the Wang family now, except for the open house, we can enter it." ”
"Humph! I know! Liu snorted coldly and said, "You did go in Haitang Garden, but you just broke in, and you didn't find anything useful, but it made the master suspicious of me!" And let me sacrifice one of you. You know, how much effort I put into training the five of you! Wasting one, in the small Begonia Garden, you are the boss, and you dare to say in front of me that you can go in! ”
After a period of silence, Liu asked again, "Can Ning Ju get in?" Remember, I want not only to go in, but also to find out what I want to know! Wait, what did you just say? Except for the open home? Why in addition to the open house? ”
The masked man thought for a moment and replied, "Ningju, we can go in as Madame asks, but this information requires a little more thought." The old lady is very cautious, even when she talks to Mother Mu, she says half and leaves half, and we don't understand. After a pause, he continued, "Mama Wu came back this time to bring a man named Duan San, who is above us, he is now living in Luju, and we can't get close to him in Luju." ”
"Mama Wu!" Liu gritted his teeth and read these three words. What the hell is this old woman doing these days? How did you still know the masters of the rivers and lakes? It seems that she was still careless, and she knew that she should have ordered someone to follow her from the beginning! I thought she was a slave who was too old to walk fast and couldn't make much waves, but I didn't expect that Jiang was still old and spicy!
