Chen didn't expect that Mrs. You gave two big red feather yarns a few months ago, and she and the third sister were still discussing and laughing in private, but later saw that Mrs. You didn't say much, and thought that this matter was over. I didn't expect it to be on this.

It's just that Old Lady You wants to borrow the big red feather yarn to ask for mercy, if she wants to pinch her handle and say something, then she can't.

Chen's heart was amused, but he couldn't see it on his face, and still said with a smile: "The silk shop with the inventory inside is priced at a total of five hundred and sixty taels, and the spice shop is priced at seven hundred taels with the inventory." The two shops totaled 1,260 taels, and because the owner asked for the price to die, and some people were fighting, I didn't bargain. Only 1,260 taels redeemed the two shops, and the remaining trivial matters for the transfer of ownership were all the silver handled by He Wangsheng. I saw him just now, and ordered someone to reward him with fifty taels -- how can there be a slave who does things for his master, but takes money to make up for it. If you wear it out, it's not like it. ”

Chen Yibi said, Yibi stretched out his hand and clicked on the deed of the two shops, because he smiled: "All the tickets have been deposited everywhere." The old lady wants to check it out? ”

Chen's mention of silver in the account room was all approved by Mrs. You and You Ziyu. If you look it up at this moment, of course you can't find anything. As for the outside affairs, He Wangsheng handles all the deals, and no one else follows, and the price of buying a shop is also in the market. Old Lady You naturally couldn't say anything. Hearing what Chen said, he had to wave his hand and smile: "I'm just saying it for nothing." Where to check the accounts. You're too willing to take it seriously. ”

Chen heard this, but smiled silently.

Mrs. You no longer mentioned the price of Chen's shop, and still circled around the hands of the person in charge of the shop. Chen knew that since Mrs. You raised this matter, she must have been sure to install Zeng Guodong. What's more, the old lady's thoughts are also right.

The eldest girl's biological mother, Wu, was so temperamental when she was alive, and her dowries were all mediocre people. Otherwise, Aunt Lan would not have found a gap and was thrown to Zhuangzi. Such a reckless and mediocre person, regardless of loyalty or not, must be discounted in his ability to do things. If these people are really used to run the dowry shop for the eldest girl, the business is still a small matter, and if you offend someone who should not be offended because of this, will it not cause trouble to the eldest girl?

It's just Zeng Wu's son......

Chen thought about it, and said with a smile: "I don't know what this Zeng Guodong is. I think the old lady lives in the inner house all the year round, and I don't know much. Just listen to what Mama Pan said to you? ”

Zeng Guodong is the son of comprador Zeng Wu, and Zeng Wu's daughter-in-law is the head of the kitchen in the house in Youfu and the daughter of Mama Pan. The reason why Mrs. You recommended Zeng Guodong to her must have something to do with Mama Pan.

Sure enough, when Mrs. You heard Chen's words, she felt very uncomfortable. Deng Shi turned cold and said, "But it was recommended by Mama Pan and me." She said that her little grandson was clever and transparent by nature, and she was quick to handle things. It's just that there is no good errand to serve the master now. ”

Chen smiled and said, "This is not honest. He now follows his father as a comprador outside. Why isn't it for our You family? I think it's just that the comprador job is not good and not decent enough. ”

Mrs. You did not answer.

Chen didn't want to worry about it, so he didn't want to go with the old lady. just responded to Mrs. You like this, which inevitably makes people think that she is easy to handle. In the future, it will not be good to make inches.

Therefore, Chen only pretended not to see Mrs. You's unsafe feelings, and said with a smile in his mouth: "I am often in the inner house, and I don't know what is going on outside, so naturally I don't know what happened to Zeng Guodong." On weekdays, I talk to the master, and I don't see the master say that he is good. But from the mouth of the old man, he often mentions that Pan Yuanxing, the youngest son of Mr. Pan, is very good. Pan Yuanxing is only 27 years old this year, and he is an entourage in the master's study. On weekdays, I also followed the master in and out, and saw a lot of the world. The lord used to say that he wanted to promote one or two. It's a pity that there is no such time. Now that I have to select the steward of the shop for the eldest girl, I think of him. I wonder what the old lady thinks? ”

From the perspective of these two people themselves, Mrs. You doesn't know any of them. It's just that Mama Pan learned from her family that the Chen family ran a dowry shop for the eldest girl, so she got this idea and explained it to the old lady in private.

Chen didn't want to let Mrs. You take care of it, but he didn't want to offend Mrs. You for this little thing. Therefore, she did not approve of Zeng Guodong proposed by Mrs. You, and mentioned Pan Yuanxing instead, but he was also Mama Pan's own grandson.

A grandson, a grandson, the palms of his hands and the backs of his hands are full of meat. Chen wants to know how Mama Pan chooses-

Presumably, no matter how Mama Pan chooses, she will eventually offend the family. It's either a son or a daughter. This is also so that Mama Pan knows that it doesn't matter if she speaks to the old lady for her own benefit, but she can't embarrass for her own interests.

Chen's calculations, Mrs. You didn't pay attention for a while. She was also dissatisfied with Chen's refutation of her suggestion, and then heard Chen mention Pan Yuanxing, and this Pan Yuanxing was praised by her own son, and she also thought it was good, and she was Pan's grandma's grandson, so Chen's did not refute her own face.

Mrs. You thought that this person was acceptable, and she couldn't help but laugh and said: "I don't have a housekeeper now, and these younger generations don't know much about it." Or do you understand things. If you think he's good, that's him. ”

After that, Mrs. You sent Chen back to the room to rest, and ordered someone to Xuan Pan's grandmother to come in and talk.

When Mama Pan arrived, Mrs. You ordered Mama Pan to accompany her to touch the dominoes. Because of the smile, he mentioned to Mama Pan that Pan Yuanxing was arranged to be the manager of the eldest girl's wedding shop. said with a smile: "I originally wanted to recommend Zeng Guodong." It's just that Chen said that she hadn't heard of this person, but she often heard from Ziyu's mouth that Pan Yuanxing was doing well. I think that they are all your children, and the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat. Since Pan Yuanxing has won the eyes of their husband and wife, it is just enough to ask Pan Yuanxing to go over. Zeng Guodong's errand will be talked about in the future. ”

When Mama Pan heard this, she complained in her heart. It's just that Old Lady You and the Chen family have already made up their minds, and she has nothing to do. I had to accompany the old lady to absent-mindedly wipe the dominoes. When she returned home in the evening, her daughter was really at home waiting for news. Seeing Mama Pan coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward, poured tea and water, and served wide clothes. I pinched Mama Pan's shoulders and rubbed her legs again, and asked Mama Pan about Zeng Guodong.

Mama Pan couldn't, so she had to speak clearly to her daughter, and repeatedly emphasized that this was Chen's idea. When her daughter heard this, she felt very uncomfortable. Deng Shi turned his face, sneered in front of his brother and sister-in-law, and said: "Our kid is stupid, naturally nothing is good, so he has been an errand in the outer courtyard for so many years, and he has never won the favor of the master. On the contrary, Yuanxing can talk and do things, and his poor mouth and poor tongue will make people happy. So the master likes it, and even the wife knows about Yuanxing...... Since my mother said so, I can't help it. Who let our family Guodong not have that blessing and failed to be born in the Pan family. There is only one surname missing, and it really doesn't work. ”

Mama Pan frowned unconsciously when she heard her daughter say this. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Pan's son Pan Youliang already open his mouth to reprimand: "What did my sister say? Could it be that the mother went to the old lady for Guodong to talk about the item, or did the mother do something wrong? ”

When Mrs. Pan heard this, she just sneered: "I didn't say that. Brother, don't be a wronged person with red lips and white teeth. I know that the men of your Pan family are used to talking, and even the master likes it. How dare I argue with you? ”

After that, he got up and said, "It's getting late, I still have to go home to cook, so I won't stay long." ”

Without saying a word, he turned around and threw the curtain away.

Seeing this, Mama Pan was angry and trembling. couldn't stop crying to his son Pan Youliang: "It's true that children are debts." What do you say I have been working all day long? You don't know my heart. ”

When Pan Youliang's family saw her mother-in-law like this, they had to hold back their joy for the time being, and stepped forward to comfort and explain. Because he said, "Mother Hugh is going to cry. The sister-in-law couldn't accept her anger for a while, so she didn't choose to speak. After waking up, I will definitely pay my mother compensation. What's more, this is all a decision made by the old ladies and wives, and the mother can't control it, right? It is already a good thing for a mother to think of recommending her grandchildren in front of the old lady. ”

It's good to say that I persuaded Mama Pan to leave. For a while, he served Mama Pan to wash her face. Mama Pan sighed at this time: "It's that I thought it was bad before." I just wanted to make the old lady happy and please the old lady, but I forgot about my wife. Fortunately, my wife was just dissatisfied, not seriously annoyed with me and tired of me, so she asked Yuanxing to marry the eldest girl. I still have to go to the house tomorrow, and I should pay compensation to my wife. ”

When Pan Youliang and his wife heard this, they were silent for a long time. Because he asked, "Mother will not make amendices to the wife, if the old lady knows...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? ”

When Mama Pan heard this, she shook her head with a wry smile and said, "You are also on an errand in the house now." What kind of thing is a wife, don't you know better than me? If our family seriously annoys the wife, let alone the old lady, I'm afraid that the master won't be able to protect us. ”

Pan Youliang and his wife listened to this remark, but they were deeply convinced. They all nodded. Pan Youliang thought for a while, and said: "Tai □□ Dian, I pointed out that our kid gave the eldest girl a room." In the future, when it comes to the Guogong Mansion, the Yuanxing family is also going to change their faces. That's a good thing. How could the mother make amends to his wife for this matter? If it spreads, won't it make people say that our family is cheap and well-behaved, but it will not sound good. Why don't you go into the house with my daughter-in-law and my daughter-in-law to kowtow to my wife and thank you, and then give some good things to my wife and say some soft words. My wife is also a sensible person, and she must understand our difficulties. ”
