Chapter 55: The Shopkeeper
Regarding Zhou's mother's words, You Xiaoya thought of the TV series of palace fights and house fights that she had watched on TV in her previous life, but she didn't expect that such a thing really existed, and she couldn't say that she was a little resistant in her heart, after all, she couldn't do it without compromise to achieve her goal.
"Forget it, Mother Zhou doesn't have to worry about this, Mrs. Ben has her own way." You Xiaoya glanced at Zhou's mother, didn't say anything more, and walked towards Li's mother's courtyard outside the courtyard.
Now that she has read the account books for most of the day, she also knows a lot about Li's mother before tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, eating inside and out, but now it's good, she didn't go to her trouble, she made trouble first, she You Xiaoya has never been a vegetarian.
This time, she wants to let Mother Li completely understand what kind of person she is, even if there is an old lady behind her, master, so what?! She might as well start from the account books, although this can't solve these troubles in one go, but it can also shock some people who look down on her.
Li's mother's yard is in the middle of the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, with her back to the north and south, and a small leaf Xiao Nan is planted outside the courtyard, and when she enters the courtyard, the hydrangea flowers under the grape trellis in the corner of the courtyard are blooming brightly, and now the courtyard is crowded with twenty or thirty people, and they have different looks in the shadow of the thin leaf Xiao Nan.
You Xiaoya's calm eyes swept over these people unhappily and slowly, half of them were brought by Jin Shouzhong, and the other half were familiar and some were not.
And some people are still dressed very well, and at first glance, they are not the servants in the courtyard, and you Xiaoya doesn't have to think much about it to know that these should be the people in the shop outside.
When You Xiaoya came in, she asked the little guy outside the courtyard not to make a noise, and the little guy hesitated and didn't make up his mind, but after You Xiaoya stared at him for two seconds, he didn't dare to squeak anymore.
So when You Xiaoya was about to walk to the middle of the courtyard, someone saw her and shouted in horror: "Madam is hereββ! β
At the same time, many people in the courtyard also turned their heads towards her.
"Madam-" The group led by Jin Shouzhong saw You Xiaoya coming over, and hurriedly saluted her.
You Xiaoya looked at them and bowed her head slightly, and finally raised her eyes directly to look at Mother Li, who was crying in the courtyard and only had one breath left.
Under the eaves of the porch nearly three meters away from Li's mother, it was Uncle Jin who escorted her to the old house of the Jin family. At this time, when Jin Bo saw You Xiaoya coming, he first saluted her politely, and then didn't say much, he still stood up, as if he was just an outsider.
Standing under the pillar not far behind him was Zhu Ziyu with his hands on his chest and his eyes full of interest, he looked at the people in the courtyard like watching a play, but it was very leisurely, You Xiaoya's gaze almost didn't stay on him before he took it back.
"What's going on? It's so uncontrollable, and when outsiders see it, don't you want to say that my Jin family can't be treated? You Xiaoya glanced at Li's mother, and then her eyes calmly swept over the people around her, and finally stopped at Jin Shouzhong on the side, making it clear that she meant Sang scolding Huai.
Jin Shouzhong knew what You Xiaoya meant, and hurriedly arched his hand and said while saluting her. "Madame is like this, Shopkeeper Lai, Shopkeeper Liu, and Shopkeeper Qin came back today to pay the account, but they didn't want to meet Li's mother who was unwell, so they ......" Jin Shouzhong said while glancing at Lai Yun.
I don't want that Lai Yun to hear Jin Shouzhong say this, he was immediately unhappy, and he didn't think about saving some face for You Xiaoya or anything, so he sneered twice and pointed at Jin Shouzhong and scolded: "Steward Jin, I think Mother Li is in good health, why is she 'unwell'?" β
"Hmph, this is strange-" You Xiaoya's eyes were clear, and she sneered and glanced at Lai Yun, who was angry on the side.
"What do you mean, ma'am?" Lai Yun has been the shopkeeper of the Jin family for many years, not to mention Mother Li, even the lady and lady in charge of the house have to give him a few thin noodles.
I don't want this new little woman to dare to talk to him like this, and after listening to what Mother Li said before, about You Xiaoya's disrespectful eyes, not taking the old lady in her eyes, and acting as soon as she returned to the old mansion, he couldn't say that he was extremely resentful in his heart.
"Shopkeeper Lai, right? I think you have heard a lot about Mrs. Ben today, just before, Mrs. Ben also has a little understanding of you, the shopkeeper, and also knows some things about you and Mother Li, why don't we sort it out today, how about it? β
You Xiaoya has always been a person who likes to strike first, and her personality is decisive and direct, and she is too lazy to go around the bend with others.
And just as she finished speaking, Xiao Cui'er walked quickly to her side, and saluted her respectfully: "Madam, the sun is very hot here, go and rest over there." β
It was also at this time that the big guy saw that under a huge thin-leaved Xiaonan in the courtyard, a chair and a few cases had been prepared at some point, and a pot of tea seemed to be brewing in the corner of the cases, and now it was wafting with a trace of green mist.
And the tea is placed next to the delicate pastries and preserved fruits of the cold saucer, so arranged, giving people a feeling of elegance and leisure, and now the needlepoint of the wheat mang's formation is in contrast, it can't be said to be a slap in the face to the shopkeeper Lai.
I think they were ready to take care of this new lady, so that she would know what etiquette is and what is humble.
But they never thought that her unclear words just now and such a casual act now suddenly made them feel like they had just hit the cotton with all their strength, and when they turned their heads, they were hit with a heavy punch, which was really indescribable.
You Xiaoya retracted the cold gaze that looked at the shopkeeper Lai, turned around, and walked towards the cases with a lot of grace, and just as she was about to walk to the side of the cases, she saw Mother Zhou leading two little girls to come over with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and after saluting You Xiaoya, they put those things neatly on the case.
Everyone suddenly wondered again, what is this lady doing with pen, ink, paper and inkstone? What kind of medicine is she selling in her gourd?
"Madam, bring it!" Just when everyone was puzzled, I saw two young guys, one holding a few account books in their hands, walked into the courtyard one after the other, and when the leader spoke to You Xiaoya, he smiled and showed two small tiger teeth.
"Let's leave it here." You Xiaoya pointed to the other end of the case, and slowly sat down on the chair behind the case as she spoke.
"Yes" The two little guys responded respectfully, stacked several account books neatly together, and finally bowed to You Xiaoya and retreated behind her in a proper manner.
"Little Bean, the person you asked you to find, can you go to find it?" After taking a seat, You Xiaoya's voice sounded calmly.
"If you go back to your wife, let the fast horse go." Xiaodouzi replied with a smile, and the two little tiger teeth showed a lot of skill. [bookid=3505525,bookname="Jinyu Liangtian"] [bookid=3442352,bookname="Divine Woman"] Recommend a friend's masterpiece, there is a through train below~
