Chapter 42: Resignation
Early in the morning of the second day, Jiang Xiaogongzi sent Zhou Matchmaker to ask for Geng Ti, although Liu Xuan didn't understand why Jiang Xiaogongzi suddenly changed, but she felt that it was a good thing, so she ordered Hongyuan to take Geng Ti and return it to Zhou Matchmaker.
Hongyuan was indignant, she handed the Geng post to Mrs. Zhou and asked, "What does Jiang Xiaogongzi mean?" When we are young ladies so good to bully can't we be? At the beginning, it was him who had to leave Geng Ti with a dead face, and now he is the one who wants to return Geng Ti, how can he be such a villain! ”
How did Mrs. Zhou know which play Jiang Xiaogongzi was playing, and in the face of Hongyuan's questioning, she had to apologize with a smiling face.
Hongtao wanted to scold a few more sentences, but Liu Xuan opened her mouth: "Okay, Hongtao, Mrs. Zhou also got the order of the little boy of Najiang, and she is also an errand for others." I'm afraid she doesn't know the reason. ”
Hongyu shut up stupidly, but she still didn't have a good face for Mrs. Zhou, and even invited people out of the other garden.
At the same time, in a courtyard somewhere in the Jiang family's house, Jiang Xiaogongzi was chatting with a small servant, and the little servant asked: "Childe, you had to marry Miss Liu Jialiu yesterday, why did you die shamelessly this morning to get back Geng Ti, the important thing for us businessmen is integrity!" ”
Jiang Xiaogongzi knocked the folding fan in his hand mercilessly on the little guy's head, and the little guy who hit it bared his teeth and grinned: "What is a shameless death, is your son-in-law the kind of person who is shameless to die?" ”
Seeing the little guy looking at him with a kind of shameless look, Jiang Xiaogongzi couldn't help but knock it over again, the little guy hugged his head and skewered it, Jiang Xiaogongzi sighed: "It's not that your son-in-law is shameless and honest, it's really that the people can't fight with the officials." ”
The little guy looked down on him: "It's good if the son goes back on his word, why do you have to find any excuses, where are there any officials." ”
Jiang Xiaogongzi Bai glanced at the little guy and decided not to argue with him, and suddenly his eyes blinked: "Yes, I heard that Steward Hu wants to sell a pint of incense?" You go and tell the housekeeper that I want to buy it, and let him talk to me. ”
The little guy responded: "Okay." Then he asked, "Do you need to talk to the master about such a big matter?" ”
Jiang Xiaogongzi shook his head: "No need, he doesn't even care about my marriage, why bother his old man with such a trivial matter." ”
The little guy answered and left, but he muttered as he walked: "In the eyes of the master, except for silver, everything else is a trivial matter." ”
Ten days have passed, Liu Xuan began to think about sending a group of servants, she ordered Hongyuan to take the roster, but this look at the roster is a bit of a headache, those newly bought maids and servants are easy to send away, but the old man in the Liu family's old house is a little difficult.
Most of those old people are serving Mrs. Liu, and after Mrs. Liu died, she raised them, anyway, Liu Zhai is not short of those few mouthfuls of food, but now that she is going to flee, these people naturally can't take care of them anymore, but most of those old people are old, and they have long lost contact with their relatives, and if she sends them away, these people will have nowhere to go.
Liu Xuan thinks about it, there is no way to have both, although she doesn't plan to sell Liu Zhai, but Liu Zhai can't keep people, in case She Huanxue comes to take revenge and sees that she is not there, wouldn't it be her evil to sprinkle her anger on those old servants? Those old people had worked hard for most of their lives, and she didn't want to see them die in vain because of her.
Liu Xuan pondered this question all day, and finally came up with an idea in the evening, that is, to buy a house for these old people before she left, place them there, and then choose a reliable steward among them, leaving enough money and silver to take care of them until they died.
The problem that had plagued her all day was finally solved, and Liu Xuan slept very deeply this night.
Early the next morning, Liu Xuan decided to go to the old house to meet with those old servants, and first ask them what they thought, this matter should be hidden from Hongmao, so he said that he wanted to make some new clothes, and let Hongqi go to various shops in the city to have a look.
After Hongzhi left, Liu Xuan was about to get up and go to the Liu family's old house, but just as she was about to give instructions to get off the carriage, Hongyuan came back, and Liu Zhiqing came with her.
Honglu brought Liu Zhiqing to see Liu Xuan: "Miss, Hongtao saw Lord Liu not long after leaving, and Lord Liu said that he was looking for Miss because of something, so Honglu led him here." ”
Liu Xuan nodded in understanding, turned his head to look at Liu Zhiqing and said, "Why are you here today?" Isn't your mouth hungry? ”
Liu Zhiqing sighed: "Liu Xuan, who knows me." He sat down at the table by himself, obviously he was already very familiar with this garden: "Your Lord Liu, I will leave tomorrow, come here on this last day to taste my Xiaoxuan'er's craftsmanship." ”
"Let's go?" Liu Xuan was slightly surprised: "But you want to be transferred?" ”
Liu Zhiqing poured himself a cup of tea: "It's not a transfer, I've been here in Yizhou for more than two years, and it's time to change places." ”
Liu Xuan also planned to meet Liu Zhiqing before leaving Yizhou, but never thought that he was leaving before herself, she and Liu Zhiqing began to know each other when they played tricks on each other, back and forth between the two but there was a sense of sympathy for each other, although they are a man and a woman and do not match each other, but these two are not secular people, these two gentlemen have intersected, and they are the most cherished people in Yizhou.
Liu Xuan was a little stunned, this farewell was only afraid that it would be difficult to see each other: "Where is this transfer going?" ”
Liu Zhiqing took a sip of tea: "Your prince doesn't plan to toss me, just transfer me back to the capital, and we'll see you in the capital then." ”
A sentence about your prince made Liu Xuan a little embarrassed, but he didn't plan to argue with him, arguing with Liu Zhiqing would only get darker and darker: "With your talent, staying in Yizhou is indeed wronged, and going to the capital can be regarded as returning to your hometown, you should be very happy in your heart, right?" ”
Liu Zhiqing smashed his mouth: "It's okay, I'm still used to staying in Yizhou, and there are too many troubles in the capital." ”
Liu Xuan thought about it and said: "In this case, if there is nothing else, stay with me today, I will eat with you what you like, and no one will play chess with me after you leave, today you should sacrifice your life to accompany the gentleman, let me have a good time playing chess." ”
Liu Zhiqing nodded and agreed: "That's exactly what I came here today, you have to entertain you for two meals, otherwise I will go to your prince to complain." ”
He always said that he was the prince of your family, and Liu Xuan couldn't help but defend: "I have nothing to do with him, and I may never see each other again in the future, so it's better for you not to talk nonsense." ”
Liu Zhiqing blinked and thought: The master left Long Yi to you, how could he let you be out for a long time, you will have to go to the troubled waters of the capital sooner or later.
Liu Xuan saw that he didn't speak, thinking that he agreed with her statement, so he ordered Hongyuan to take the chess and put it on the table.
