Chapter 24 Masters
As usual, Qiao Yue has simply fallen into a state of madness for more than ten days, since a few bait recipes in the black stone can have such a great effect, she is now more inclined to learn some strange things in it.
For example, in the black stone, in order to get a higher concentration of wine, you only need to get a simple device, burn it with fire below, and use a small pipe to connect the evaporated water above to get a high concentration of wine; Liuli is made of a thing called silica that is fired at high temperatures, which is very popular in the Shun Dynasty and is a good way to make a fortune; The horse's hooves are not wearable, and a piece of iron can be nailed underneath to make the horse walk like a fly; The bow and arrow can also be shot continuously, as if it is called Zhuge Lianbashi or something, if there is a pattern, you can try to do it; There are many uses for gunpowder for firecrackers, and lime and volcanic ash can be mixed in a certain proportion to get something called cement...
The whole world seems to have become mysterious and simple, and there are many things that can be studied in the very small things in life, Kong Ming lanterns can rise to the sky with fire, and if they are bigger, it is not difficult to bring people to the sky.
After reading poetry for three years, this time the preparation of fishing bait made Qiao Yue even more obsessed with everything in the black stone.
Maybe it's the character in her bones, even if Qiao Yue can only embroider and grind tofu when she was in Qizhou, she still has to do her best, even the embroidery of the Tianxiu Palace, the first in the Shun Dynasty, is not difficult in her hands.
Although she has lost her memory now, every mysterious thing still makes Qiao Yue forget to sleep and eat.
This time I was injured, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, it's been more than a month since I came to the Ye family, and these more than ten days of peaceful days have made Qiao Yue both relieved and moved, and for the first time in her memory in the past three years, there is someone who moved her.
People's hearts are made of meat, not to mention the nominal relationship with Ye Junsheng and husband and wife, she began to be moved by Ye Junsheng, and felt how happy she was for the first time.
He will come to the cold on time every day to ask for warmth, he is not at ease when he helps her change the dressing, he always has to cook it by himself when it comes to changing the dressing, when the meal arrives, Ye Junsheng will always prepare the most exquisite meal for her, not the kind of sea dry and rotten as imagined, people's hearts must be moved in such a dull day to be steady, and the feelings will be delicious enough under such a thin fire and slow simmering.
What touched Qiao Yue the most was that for herself, in the past ten days, Ye Junsheng had been angry with Old Madam Ye three times, and the quarrel made everyone in the courtyard feel afraid.
Except for him and the fat girl, he didn't want anyone to step into this small courtyard for half a step, if the husband was like this, what else did she have to demand, if she could live a life like this, Qiao Yue would definitely die with a smile.
You can rest assured that she took the black stone in her hand and looked at it, even the fat girl didn't dare to peep into her room, the days passed like this, and the injuries were almost healed, but the abscess on her forehead still showed no signs of healing.
The stomach growled a few times, what's the matter with the husband, I don't know if it's time to eat? She put the black stone in her hand into a black cover, hung it close to her body, lifted the thin gauze curtain, the sky became dark, the call of the boat came from not far away, and night was coming.
"Madame, are you awake, are you feeling better today?"
The fat girl who had been guarding below leaned her neck, and there were two small dimples on her round face, which made people want to reach out and pinch two handfuls when they looked at it.
"Well, why hasn't the master come today? But what's going on in the house? ”
His face was a little flushed, and he always felt a little embarrassed in his heart when he was born.
"Hee-hee... I went to take a look, and I heard that the old lady had a problem with the charity donation, and I don't know why, the posts sent out were all returned, and the old man went to the backyard in the afternoon..."
The fat girl spoke, and ran out of the yard as soon as she slipped away.
"Oops!" With a sound, through the arch of the small courtyard, the subordinates of the Ye family were all standing here in black, with sad faces one by one, and several middle-aged people who looked like housekeepers rubbed their hands and walked back and forth, it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.
"What do you want to do, I don't know if the master said that you won't be allowed to come near here?"
The fat girl was startled, and ran back to the small courtyard to get a stick and hold it in her hand, as if she was about to enter the courtyard and stepped on her corpse.
When the first housekeeper in his forties, the fat girl knew him, surnamed Mo, was the father of the little pillar next to Ye Junsheng, he hurriedly said with a sad face: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we are here to ask Mrs. for sin..."
"Please?" The fat girl still didn't get out of the way: "What the hell are you doing again, sue you, I angered my wife and there is no good fruit to eat, so get out of the way." ”
As she spoke, she was visibly lacking in confidence, and her hand holding the stick was shaking.
"The old man and the old lady both went to Beijing, saying that there was an urgent matter in the capital, and when they left, they handed over the Ye family up and down to Mrs. to take care of, and the little ones really returned to Mrs. to make amends, and there was a lot of offense in front, and there was no way to do it..."
It can be seen that everyone's attitude is very sincere, and the anxiety on their faces can't deceive people, the old man and the old lady are gone, and it is reasonable for such a big Ye family to be handed over to Qiao Yue to take care of.
Not to mention any arguments.
The fat girl invited Qiao Yue, who looked dazed, and couldn't understand which one Lu Menglou was singing, such a big Ye family, a daughter-in-law who had just passed the door, how could she rest assured that she would take care of it.
The husband is really, since he is leaving, he will not notify him in advance, the people in the family, in the shop, and on the dock have all come, two or three hundred people, a piece of black pressure, so that he is not psychologically prepared at all, this is really difficult to ride a tiger.
Steward Mo came forward and talked for a long time, just introducing the Ye family's business and the current situation for an hour without stopping, and there were more than a dozen shopkeepers lined up behind, looking at their expressions, it would definitely not be a good thing to talk about.
The more they talked, the more ugly Qiao Yue's face became, in the final analysis, it was all the same thing, the goods in the shop couldn't be sold, the boats on the dock didn't come back when they went out, in the final analysis, it was a matter of money.
"Let me be in charge at this time, I really didn't have a good heart!"
Qiao Yue was so angry that her teeth itched, if Lu Menglou was in front of her at this time, she would definitely be dismantled.
The more I listened, the more angry I became, and I forgot that I hadn't even eaten, and interrupted the steward who was talking: "What about the money, why is there all the money all of a sudden, where does the money go?" ”
More than a dozen stewards lined up, and the two or three hundred subordinates behind looked at Qiao Yue with eager eyes, and Steward Mo stepped forward and said: "In the past ten days, in the house, on the shop, and on the dock, all the cash and silver tickets have been taken away by the old lady, saying that there is an urgent matter in the capital, and we want to take it to the capital to take care of it, and let us find Mrs. when we leave..."
The money steward on the dock added with a sweat: "Some time ago, two cargo ships went out, and there are thirty-six sailors in our Ye family to press the goods, and we just got the news today that the ship sank when it passed through Yongzhou, and the people and goods are gone!" ”
As he spoke, he began to cry, as if he had seen the scene of more than thirty sailors of the Ye family dying in the river.
There was silence.
After a while, he stopped crying and said: "Most of the goods on the ship belong to other businesses, we have to pay for the dead, otherwise their families will not survive, the small ones are calculated, the goods of the two ships, plus the pension, our Ye family will pay two thousand three hundred..."
Speaking of money, another steward in the shop interjected and said: "I just received a batch of medicinal materials some time ago, and they haven't been settled yet, and today the medicinal herb vendor who sells medicine is urging me to settle the payment, and I urgently need 1,200 yuan here..."
“… I'm in dire need of eight hundred and twenty..."
“… I'm in dire need of seven hundred and fifty times..."
“… I'm in dire need of nine hundred and seventy..."
……
I couldn't listen to it anymore, Qiao Yue clenched her fists, and she didn't know who to vent to.
Touch it in your pocket, you don't have a big son, you won a lot when you gambled on fish, but unfortunately it was robbed by the shameless Lu Menglou, it's really a good calculation, leave me such a mess and let me be in charge?
Something urgent in the capital? What about ghosts? You must have swept away all the silver taels and fled! This damn shrunk of Qinglou is a poisonous method.
Before the stewards' voices stopped, they heard someone shouting from the people behind them, "Madame... You can do it, okay, settle the small monthly salary, my wife is seriously ill, and she is still waiting for money to see a doctor! ”
