Chapter 271: The housekeeper helps
Ling'er and Osmanthus discussed the specific details again, and then personally sent them to the gate of the courtyard.
In the evening, the lotus came back and said that the old lady was still on guard, and the things she sent were only allowed to be placed at the gate of the courtyard, and she was not allowed to enter at all, and she couldn't even stuff silver into the janitor.
This is also expected, it seems that the old lady is determined not to see herself, not to pull down, there is always a time for you to show your face.
The next day, Ling'er went to the outer courtyard to find Wan Xiaogui again, first, to ask him for a few blank deeds of sale, and second, to try to inquire about Li Liang's news.
To Ling'er's surprise, Wan Xiaogui was very familiar with Li Liang, and the two often drank together, so they naturally knew where his home was. Ling'er was secretly happy in her heart, she really had nowhere to find it when she stepped on the iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it!
It's profitable, Ling'er goes to Wan Xiaogui more diligently, almost all of them are there for two days in a row, and Steward Zhou, who came back from running errands, met her a few times, and couldn't help frowning and staring at her, wondering what this girl was thinking?
In fact, Steward Zhou did not have a good impression of this young lady, the first time she saw her, she came to sign the deed of sale, and heard her say that her life experience seemed to be very miserable, but her expression was not half miserable, and the whole person did not feel like a country girl who had never seen the world, no matter how to hide, the arrogance born in her bones could not be hidden.
But this girl was wanted by the inner courtyard, and he didn't want to be nosy, but he didn't expect that in less than two months, this girl suddenly became the daughter of the old man who was outcast! Steward Zhou still remembers that this girl deliberately ran to the old man to show her face and dropped her purse, and he intuitively felt that this girl was scheming.
Evening. Ling'er finally left, and Steward Zhou called Wan Xiaogui over and asked him carefully about the topic of conversation with Ling'er. Hearing that Ling'er was eager to inquire about the eldest young master's side and Li Liang, Steward Zhou frowned.
Steward Zhou still knows a little about Li Liang's identity and family history, and Mrs. uses this Li Liang to dominate the eldest young master everywhere. Li Liang is the master in the mansion, but he became the master when he left the mansion, and Steward Zhou didn't like that person very much, this new young lady asked him what he was doing?
Steward Zhou asked, "Xiaogui." Do you know who this little white lady is friends with in the inner courtyard? ”
Wan Xiaogui thought for a while: "Listen to Miss, Mrs. and Miss Yan'er don't like him, and the old lady never sees her." But the young grandmother got closer to her. ”
Steward Zhou suddenly understood, and smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that this new young lady was still a little chivalrous, and she wanted to give her brother a head as soon as she came. Case. It's okay to give her a hand.
So, Steward Zhou said: "Xiaogui, Miss Xiaobai has something to send you, you can just go, you don't need to report it." ”
Wan Xiaogui was stunned for a moment, and then his face was full of joy: "Okay! Uh, Steward Zhou, can you take a few people with that little one? ”
"Bring someone?"
"Yes! The young lady asked the little one to find a few reliable strong men. The day after tomorrow, I went with her to do a big thing. ”
Steward Zhou's eyelids jumped: "Did Miss say anything?" ”
Wan Xiaogui shook his head: "Miss didn't say it, she just said that it was a good thing to eliminate harm for the people." ”
Steward Zhou pondered for a moment. Seeing that this young lady mostly wanted to teach Li Liang a lesson, instead of indulging her nonsense, it was better to send two people to follow, so she nodded and said:
"Yes, but you have to persuade her, don't let her cause trouble, our lord is the county lord, and he must act carefully and moderately, and he can't affect the lord's official reputation."
"Okay, the little one must persuade Miss."
In the evening, Ling'er ran to the courtyard of the big house early and waited, just waiting for the eldest brother to come back.
They waited left and right, the meals were hot several times, and it was dark for a while, and the eldest brother Jiang Guosheng came back drunk. The sister-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but the eldest brother was staggering, still shouting and drinking.
Ling'er helped him into the house and sat on a chair, fetched hot water to wipe her face, and then the sister-in-law went to boil the sobering soup herself, Ling'er pinched her nose and leaned over and patted her eldest brother on the shoulder: "Big brother? Eldest brother? ”
"Woo~~Drink~~ Drink again!"
"Big brother, you're drunk!"
"I'm not drunk, Li Liang, you stinky boy, don't want to get me drunk."
Li Liang...... Ling'er had a flash of inspiration: "Big brother, Li Liang is gone, you still have to drink with him!" ”
"Stinky boy, what are you going to do, do you think Young Master Ben is afraid of you? Don't you just rely on your mother to support you, you stinky boy, don't forget that it was this young master who saved your father in the first place, you are not allowed to leave, drink ~~~~"
"Big brother, did you go well with the rent collection this time? The ledger can be brought back. ”
Li Liang ...... Li Liang, your brother stinky boy, don't even let Lao Tzu read the account book, you stinky boy......" The eldest brother lay on the table, muttering and muttering, sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and I don't know what he is talking about.
The sister-in-law came over with the sobering soup and poured it for him, dragged him to the bed again, and exhaled: "Sister, your eldest brother is so drunk that he can't ask anything, you can come back tomorrow!" ”
Seeing the eldest brother drunk like this, it can only be like this.
The next afternoon, the eldest brother came to his senses, Ling'er asked her about Li Liang, he only blackened his face and didn't speak, asked about the rent, his face was even more ugly, remembering the words of the eldest brother when he was drunk last night, Ling'er thought about it and said:
"Big brother, Li Liang is your long-term follower, I heard that he treated you as a long-term follower when he went out, but is there such a thing?"
The eldest brother glanced at her with an ugly face, and immediately turned his head away, Ling'er leaned over and whispered: "Big brother, Li Liang, this stinky boy is so ignorant, how about we find a chance to teach him a lesson?" ”
The eldest brother raised his eyes to look at her, the bottom of his eyes flashed, obviously he was tempted, Ling'er smiled, leaned into the eldest brother's ear and muttered for a while, the eldest brother stared at her in surprise, Ling'er nodded: "Big brother, I've arranged it, do you want to go?" ”
"This ...... He is Madame's man, in case he sues Madame......"
"Oh, big brother, you are a man, what else can you do if you look ahead? Are you not even as good as a little woman like me? If you don't go, I'll go alone! ”
Ling'er made a gesture and walked out, and the eldest brother hurriedly caught up: "Sister, do you really want to go?" ”
"Of course, I've found everyone and the place is also optimistic, if I don't give you an outlet, I don't feel comfortable."
Jiang Guosheng looked at Ling'er with bright eyes, his eyes were full of emotion. Growing up so big, in addition to his long-deceased mother-in-law, who really cares about him, there is only his wife Lan Xin, but he didn't expect this sister who has only known him for a few days to stand out for him everywhere, this rare family affection has always been what he longed for and could not reach.
Looking at her expression, Ling'er patted him on the shoulder arrogantly: "Big brother, the matter hasn't been done yet, don't be too happy." ”
The two walked out side by side: "Sister, I'...... Thank you, big brother! ”
"Oops, thank you, thank you? We're brothers and sisters! But if you really want to thank me, when the thing is done, you can tell me what happened to my mother when I was a child! (To be continued......)
