Chapter 201: Closing the Accounts
"The third lady and the third grandmother are here!" Mama Yan's eyes were sharp, and she greeted her with a smile. Old Mrs. Rong turned around and saw Mrs. Jiang and Luo Yan, and finally had a smile on her face.
"Say hello to the old lady, many didn't come, is the old lady in good health?" Mrs. Jiang smiled softly and walked up to the old lady to give a deep salute. Luo Yan also gave a full salute and held the old lady's arm affectionately.
"Okay? How could it be good! "The old lady held back for two days, and finally she could vent her bitterness." This one moved out and the other had nowhere to live...... Ay! I don't know if God is dissatisfied with me and wants to punish me! ”
"Don't think so, old lady, there are times when the water flows and goes against the current!" Luo Yan smiled mischievously at the old lady.
The old lady pulled Luo Yan's forehead, looked at the rouge on Luo Yan's forehead and muttered, "Concubine Ji, could it be said that Rong Xi's grandson has this life?" ”
"What did the old lady say?" Mama Yan led Mrs. Jiang into the house behind the old lady, and it was a little strange to see the old lady looking at Luo Yan in a daze.
Luo Yan understood it, but she didn't expect it to fall into this step, and the old lady still wanted to give the Rong family a prince reads();!
"Old lady, let's walk slowly, be careful of the slippery leaves of your feet." Luo Yan took the old lady to the house. The old lady turned around and told the treasure chest not to beat dates, just hang there as a scenery to see!
"I got up early in the morning, and when I saw that there were still a few dates hanging on the tree, I let the treasure chest play with them, and watched the bamboo poles knock on the branches, so that I wouldn't be idle to think about those troubles......
Luo Yan understood that the old lady must be uncomfortable at this time, but she couldn't comfort her. Accompanied the old lady into the house, Mama Yan asked the little maid to bring the white fungus bird's nest stewed for the old lady.
"It's not as frugal as it used to be, you have to be more frugal!" The old lady just sat down and sighed.
"No matter how much you save it, you can't save what is in the old lady's mouth, you still need tonic." Mama Yan brought the white fungus bird's nest to the old lady. The old lady suddenly remembered something. Let Mama Yan bring another bowl, "Come and give half to Yan'er, Yan'er is a pregnant person." ”
Mrs. Jiang's face was embarrassed, and the old lady thought it was the reason why she didn't give Mrs. Jiang, "I didn't know if you came, there was only one bowl of bird's nest." ”
"No, that. The old lady ......, "Mrs. Jiang thought about how to phrase it to make Luo Yan's miscarriage clear. Luo Yan saw Mrs. Jiang's difficulties. Hurriedly poured the white fungus bird's nest back into the old lady's bowl.
Luo Yan smiled: "The old lady must have remembered it wrongly, how can Yan'er be pregnant!" But when Xianggong comes back in the autumn, we will work hard......" Luo Yan blushed unconsciously.
"What! I remember ......" the old lady was stunned. Mrs. Jiang was also stunned, and swallowed back the words she had just thought of.
"Last time the fourth master had a wedding banquet, I had a bad appetite and was greedy for a while. That's why it's misunderstood. Luo Yan winked at Mama Yan. Mama Yan understood, and hurriedly agreed. "I was so happy at the time, of course I was happy, but the third master and the third grandmother are young, and there will be many opportunities in ......the future."
The old lady sighed. There was a look of disappointment in his eyes.
Luo Yan and Mrs. Jiang exchanged glances, and they both understood that it was better to disappoint the old lady than to lie. It's better than telling the truth and making the old lady sad.
"Hey! There's really nothing that makes me happy! "The old lady was a little lonely.
Mrs. Jiang hurriedly diverted the topic, "It's not a matter that Yonglu Mansion is sealed like this. What do I have to do to open the gate? ”
“…… It is said that Yonglu embezzled 100,000 taels of silver, and if the accounts are verified, he will have to hand over the dirty silver, and he will have to pay a fine of silver, and the Yonglu Lou assets will probably have to be sold to pay off the debts, and the court will not continue to investigate Yonglu's crimes after paying off the silver, and now he is only exempted from his official position......"
"But the second sister-in-law has always been good at managing the family, and she will definitely be able to get through this difficulty!"
The old lady sighed, "How can it be so simple! Good things are worth a lot in your own hands, and if you take them to pay off your debts, they are as cheap as straw paper! I'm afraid that all the belongings of Yonglu Building will be sold for *10,000 silver. ”
"Mother-in-law, the furniture in our Muxi Garden is also worth 20,000 taels, and it is idle to be idle there, so it is better to ......"
"Yes, you can give Mu Xiyuan's furniture to the second sister-in-law to pay off their debts. Those pieces of furniture were their ......."
"That's a good idea!" The old lady asked Mama Yan to go to the tent quickly and transfer the furniture tent of Muxiyuan to the tent of Yonglu Building. Mama Yan hurriedly answered the door......
"The fourth master and the fourth grandmother are here!" The treasure chest opened the cotton curtain, and Rong Jue and Meng Lingju came in. Meng Lingju saw that Mrs. Jiang and Luo Yan were stunned at first, but then calm as usual, pulled Rong Jue to give the old lady a salute first, and then gave a light salute, and called out, "The third aunt and the third sister-in-law are good reads();!" ”
Mrs. Jiang was busy asking Meng Lingju not to be polite. Rong Jue raised her eyes and looked at Luo Yan, her eyes were no longer as cold as before, "Hello third sister-in-law!" Rong Jue's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was standing unsteadily.
Meng Lingju helped him sit down, hesitated but still spoke to the old lady, she wanted to go to Hefu with Rong Jue to find a way, to see if she could calm down Rong Yonglu's affairs, it was really inconvenient to live in the guest room......
Mrs. Rong groaned, "Well, it's also a way." It's just that Old Lady He lives in seclusion and doesn't care about political affairs, and I'm afraid that I will hit a nail if I look for him. You can go to find his little grandson He Kunlun, he often goes to Lin'an and Yangzhou, and their family's champion building can collect any gossip in Lin'an......"
"Daughter-in-law Sun thanks the old lady for her guidance, but the property of Yonglu Building has been sealed, we can't go to ask people empty-handed to see if we can ......"
Before Meng Lingju finished speaking, the old lady asked the treasure chest to go to the tent and pay three hundred taels of silver to Meng Lingju and Rong Jue.
"Three hundred taels?" Meng Lingju hesitated, but still said that it might not be enough. The old lady gritted her teeth, "Then five hundred taels." Go get the treasure chest. ”
Meng Lingju saw that the old lady really couldn't take out any more silver, so she had to thank the old lady, and when Yonglu Building opened in the next day, she would definitely return it to the old lady. "Hurry up and thank the old lady!" Meng Lingju pulled Rong Jue to say good things to the old lady. Rong Jue looked like a wooden man, "Thank you, old lady." ”
Mrs. Rong waved her hand and kept sighing. The treasure box held the money bag to the old lady, and whispered: "Rong An said that the cash on the Cuiyuan account is used like this, I'm afraid it won't be used for ......the New Year."
The old lady's body trembled, sighed again, and handed the money bag to Rong Jue.
The sound of the treasure chest is not loud or small, and it is obviously deliberately intended for everyone to hear. Mrs. Jiang immediately said that she would send 3,000 taels of silver tomorrow for the old lady to keep for the New Year.
"Where did you get the money?" Old Lady Rong couldn't believe it, you must know that Mu Xiyuan had never given the old lady a silver tael for the New Year. The old lady had long been used to it, and suddenly when she said this, the old lady was not used to it.
"It's Yan'er's money this time!" Mrs. Jiang's face was full of smiles.
"This has to be thanked by the old lady for the list of jade bottles that Yan'er received! The three thousand taels of silver should be used as pocket money for the old lady, and my husband and I will give the old lady another 10,000 taels of silver for the festival during the Chinese New Year. ”
The old lady was stunned, "That's good!" I'm waiting for my Rong Xi grandson to come back after the entrance examination, and have a good New Year! ”
Rong Jue's numb handsome face seemed to be stimulated, and his eyes fell on Luo Yan's face in a daze.
"I thanked the old lady again, and Ling Ju retired. The third aunt and three sisters-in-law forgave the orange and the father-in-law for being unaccompanied. Meng Lingju pulled Rong Jue out in a hurry and went straight to He Mansion to ask He Kunlun for news......
Coming out of Cuiyuan, Mrs. Jiang glanced at Mu Xiyuan's broken door, and a wry smile appeared on her face.
"Mother-in-law's method just now is really good, that way you can help Yonglulou pay off your debts, and you can settle Mu Xiyuan's debts."
"Where do I mean that! I originally wanted to take the furniture to Yonglu Building to pay off the debt, but we still have to pay off the old lady's debt. Who knows that the old lady's mind is fast......"
Luo Yan smiled, she didn't understand what the old lady meant. In the eyes of the old lady, Mu Xiyuan was depressed and unable to repay his debts. Now it is just right to help Yonglu Lou in an emergency, transfer the debt to Yonglu Lou, whether it can be repaid in the future, the old lady does not care. The most important thing is to keep your children and grandchildren safe......
