Chapter 268: Deed of Sale
If you want to leave, you have to finish what you have to do.
First of all, the first thing, you must get out the deed of sale of the lotus and the osmanthus, which has long been promised to them, and they can't be untrustworthy, and they have left here by themselves, so this one is the most important.
She asked the lotus flower to go out to inquire, it is said that the recent autumn harvest, there are many things on the Yamen, Master Jiang has been staying in the Yamen office, has not come back for several days, and I don't know when I will be back.
If Master Jiang doesn't come back, how can he get the deed of sale? If this thing can't be done, then there is only one other thing, ask the eldest brother about the biological mother's childhood, but now the eldest brother Jiang Guosheng is not there, and the old lady hides herself like a plague god, who to ask?
The more anxious she is, the more she will fail, Ling'er fidgeted in the yard, and Chrysanthemum said: "Miss, instead of thinking nonsense here, it is better to go out for a walk and have a look, and change your mood." ”
Hearing her say this, she has been in Donghu County for two or three months, and when she entered the county, she went straight to Jiang's mansion, and she has never gone out for a walk.
So, Ling'er packed up and took a few maids to prepare to go out. When she walked to the outer courtyard and passed by the account room, Ling'er rolled her eyes and asked the lotus flower to wait, and went to the account room to take a turn to see if she could get some silver out.
When she entered the account room, she saw that the layout was like that of a modern bank window, in which the gentlemen worked with sturdy panes, and those who took money to pay the accounts could only stand outside under the high counters.
Ling'er leaned in front of one of the windows: "Hey, I'm Jiang Xiaobai, the young lady of the Jiang Mansion." The monthly case issued in the backyard is not enough, give me two hundred taels of silver? ”
The bookkeeper stared at Ling'er for a long time with a straight face, and said coldly: "Is there a letter from the master or the housekeeper?" ”
"Nope!"
"Then you can't take it."
"Why? I'm the young lady of the Jiang Mansion! ”
"Even if the lady comes, it won't work. Miss, please go back and report to the lord first, and come again when you are approved. ”
Ling'er stuck out her tongue, of course she knew that it wouldn't work, but she just came over to try it and see how the management of the outer courtyard of the Jiang Mansion was?
"Miss, do you want any silver?"
Ling'er turned around and saw a young man looking at her. Ling'er was overjoyed: "Huh! Wan Xiaogui, why are you here? ”
"Steward Zhou asked me to repay the bill."
"What's the bill? Show me. ”
"Oh, no, no, no. Miss, forgive me, this is the rule of the house. ”
Ling'er didn't embarrass him, and stood at the door, waiting for him to come out after the report. smiled and said, "Wan Xiaogui." It's been a long time, how are you doing? ”
Wan Xiaogui scratched his head embarrassedly: "Fortunately, last time, I didn't know that you were a young lady, and I didn't know how important I spoke, so please don't forget your heart." ”
Ling'er patted Wan Xiaogui on the shoulder generously: "Where is it, we are friends!" Is Steward Zhou here? Is it convenient for me to sit there? ”
"Of course, of course, Miss, please."
Wan Xiaogui led Ling'er to the house where he signed the deed of sale when he first arrived at Jiang's Mansion, and a few people were waiting at the door. Ling'er paced around the room. When I saw the huge cabinet, I suddenly remembered that I didn't take it from this cabinet when I signed the deed of sale?
A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind: "Alas. By the way, Wan Xiaogui, the deed of sale I signed is still here, right? ”
Wan Xiaogui paused and shook his head: "No, Miss, when you transferred from the courtyard to the eldest lady's house, oh, no, when you transferred to the second Miss Yan'er's house, Mrs. sent someone to take away your deed of sale." ”
"Huh? That means my deed of sale is still in the hands of my wife? ”
Wan Xiaogui nodded: "Yes!" He saw that Ling'er's face was not good-looking, and hurriedly said:
"Miss, don't worry, you are the daughter of the master, and now you are a serious master, the master has already re-registered you in the county government household registration book, you are now surnamed Jiang Bu Wen, and the deed of sale has been automatically invalidated."
"Oh? Is it? ”
"Yes, miss, don't worry, the master is the county master of our Donghu County, this kind of thing is easy, just let the scribe add a few words."
It's that easy? Isn't it easy to solve the deed of sale of the lotus and osmanthus flowers? In addition, get yourself an identity document or something, and it will be convenient to go anywhere in the future!
Ling'er's heart crackled, but Wan Xiaogui asked, "Miss, what are you doing when you go to the account room to get the money?" Didn't Madame send you a monthly calendar? ”
Ling'er was stunned for a moment, "Oh, yes, it's been a month since my young lady took office, and I never know what the monthly routine looks like, Wan Xiaogui, how many monthly cases should I have according to the rules?" ”
"The rules of the house, Miss, you should receive two taels of silver a month, if it is not enough, you can also ask the lord or Mrs. for some subsidies."
"Really?" Ling'er asked casually, not too concerned about this issue, but walked to the large row of cabinets and wanted to open the drawers to take a look, Wan Xiaogui hurriedly stopped her: "Miss, these can't move, if you mess up Steward Zhou, you will be beaten out of the house." ”
"It's not that serious, is it? I'm just going to take a look. Hey, Wan Xiaogui, I brought a few maids from the miscellaneous courtyard last month, where are their deeds of sale? ”
"Brought out of the Miscellaneous Courtyard?"
"yes!"
"Miss, what's their name, the little one will help you find it."
Ling'er was overjoyed: "Is it really here?" Then you look for it, lotus, chrysanthemum, osmanthus, small cui, and an orchid. ”
Wan Xiaogui took out a bunch of keys, first took out a thick account book, checked it on it, put it away and locked it, and then rummaged through the large row of cabinets.
Ling'er waited for about a quarter of an hour, and Wan Xiaogui took out a deed of sale: "Miss, the small one has only found one, take a look, is it what you want?" ”
Ling'er took it and took a look, it turned out to be the deed of sale of the orchid, that is, the one whose nose was cut off in the courtyard, Ling'er nodded: "It's this, the others?" ”
"Nothing else, it should have been taken away."
"Can you find out who took it?"
Wan Xiaogui searched again: "I found it, miss, a month ago, Madame's mother came to pick it up in person." ”
As expected, she came early to take away the deed of sale of the lotus people, and the meaning could not be more obvious.
Ling'er thanked Wan Xiaogui, and did not leave the house after coming out, but took the lotus and a few people straight to Mrs. Jiang's courtyard.
When Ling'er arrived, Mrs. Jiang was receiving a few matchmakers in the living room, and when she saw Ling'er coming in, she didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, here, I'm discussing your marriage with a few mothers, you go to the flower hall next door to sit, and then come over when I've discussed it here!" ”
Ling'er smiled and blessed her body: "Mother Lao is bothered!" Then I honestly went to the flower hall next door.
Mrs. Jiang was a little surprised, she originally thought that this girl would be furious and make a fuss, but she cooperated with the acting, did she still expect me to choose a good family for her?
Hmph, I'll choose a family affair that is too good for you to be, dead girl, wait and see! (To be continued......)
