Chapter Seventy-Eight: New Year's Gift
Because Gao Bo has left the Xu family, he is the steward of Xu Qijin's shop on the surface. Therefore, it is not possible to enter and leave the Xu Mansion as freely as before.
Seeing that the New Year was coming, the stewards of the Xu family's shops and Zhuangzi all used board cars to pull the New Year's gifts, and sent them to the Xu Mansion one by one. Gao Bo pondered for a while, and spent three days personally shopping around the streets of the capital, and then bought a lot of worthless things such as noodle people, sugar gourds, paper kites, and porcelain dolls from rings, and also pulled them with a board car, took the account book, and followed a group of old stewards into the Xu Mansion.
Everyone's New Year's gifts are brocade, embroidery, pearl and jade, head face, silk, tea and the like, no matter how bad it is, it is also some game, like Gao Bo pulled a bunch of children's things, there is really nothing!
A middle-aged man glanced at Gao Bo suspiciously, and then at the things on the car, his eyes flashed, and said, "This brother, which part are you in charge of?" This year's wind and rain are smooth, the country and the people are safe, no matter how bad it is, it will not pull a cart of broken things! ”
Gao Bo glanced at the middle-aged man coldly and ignored him.
An older one next to him, who was a little unbearable, pointed at Gao Bo: "Little brother, you are new, right?" This is about to be the New Year, bring good things, that is, if there is something wrong with the account books, as soon as the masters are happy, they will turn a blind eye. You're young and ignorant, don't lose your big because of your small size! ”
Although Gao Bo was impatient to speak, after all, he had good intentions, so he had to say: "I have my own measure." ”
The older steward sighed: "Young man, my Lao Liu has eaten more salt than you have eaten, listen to my advice, it's still too late to make amends!" A few years ago, the old lady disposed of a few stewards, and there was no problem with the books, guess what? It's not that I saw those stewards pulling a cart of bud rice and cabbage, and my heart was blocked! Let's rely on the master to reward a bite of food......"
The middle-aged man from before snorted a few times as if he was laughing, and looked at Gao Bo with some schadenfreude.
Gao Bo was already gloomy, he didn't like to deal with people, and he was annoyed by the reading, so he had to say: "I came with the deed!" ”
The middle-aged man choked and choked on his own saliva.
Steward Liu was still chattering: "I lost a lot this year, right?" But the shop and the Zhuangzi are all rewarded to us by the masters, what's the use of bringing the deed! I see that you are dressed like five or six, and you think that the foundation is not bad, so hurry up and fill in some by yourself, and then take care of it next year......"
Gao Bo really had never seen such a chattering person, his face was so dark that he could drip ink, and his tone was a little impatient: "Don't bother, I bought a new shop with the profits in the shop two days ago." ”
Then Steward Liu wanted to say more, but the middle-aged man who had been watching the joke changed his face, pulled Steward Liu's sleeve, and stopped Steward Liu. At this moment, a well-dressed maid with handsome eyebrows and eyes suddenly came, swept around the steward, walked up to Gao Bo, and said timidly: "Senior executive, Miss, please go in." ”
When the people left, Steward Liu looked at the middle-aged man in surprise: "Why did he leave?" It's not time for the old lady to check the accounts! ”
The middle-aged man had a bitter face: "I'm confused, why are you more confused than me!" The person just now, I'm afraid that the surname Gao next to the fourth master, was later kicked out of the Xu family, and the second lady was kind-hearted, and she didn't pity him for any relatives, so she took him in to run a pen and ink shop in Dama Street. ”
"Drink!" Steward Liu was taken aback, "It's him!" Amitabha, Amitabha. ”
The middle-aged man stopped talking with a tiger face.
Everyone has heard of Gao Bo, because they have heard of his character and behavior, so everyone is very jealous of him. The middle-aged man now regrets his carelessness just now.
Fortunately, now Gao Bo is just a small steward in Miss Xu's dowry shop, and he doesn't need to be too afraid.
Gao Bo pulled a cart of gadgets to Fenghe Courtyard, Xu Qirong heard that Gao Bo was coming, so he had already taken Qiu Nong and Yu Xia to Fenghe Courtyard and waited. The two sisters, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong, stared at a car full of colors in a daze.
Gao Bo said hello to the two little masters in a stiff tone, and then said: "These things, play with the two little masters." ”
Seeing that Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong were stunned there, Gao Bo remembered that the two stewards outside said that these things were too cheap, so he thought that Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong were disgusted, and hurriedly took out a pile of paper from his sleeves, presented it to Yu Qiu with both hands, and said: "The villain signed the jade shop next to Zhiyaxuan the day before yesterday, this is the deed and paperwork. ”
wanted to buy a jade shop, Gao Bo brought in a letter before, and Xu Qijin also agreed, so he was not very surprised. didn't reach out to pick up the deed and paperwork in Yu Qiu's hand, but pointed to a cart of children's things and asked Gao Bo: "You bought all these things?" ”
Gao Bo was stunned and nodded a little awkwardly. When he bought these, those bosses were bold enough to ask him how many children he had, and he actually bought so many messy gadgets at once.
Xu Qijin couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "It's too much, where can I have fun with Sister Rong!" Again...... Besides, I don't play rattles anymore. ”
Xu Qirong echoed in his heart, although these things are ordinary, but to buy so many different things, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort!
Gao Bo said seriously: "That's for Miss Five." ”
Xu Qirong's eyes widened, she didn't play rattle anymore!
Gao Bo continued: "The second young lady went to Yuwang Mansion, and if the fifth young lady is bored, she can also use these to pass the time." As he spoke, his tone softened a little. In the final analysis, Xu Qirong couldn't speak, so he "locked" himself in the Fengbo Building all day long, and he was a little distressed.
In the end, it was Gao Bo's intention, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong still accepted the small things in the cart, and after the two sisters agreed to accept it, Gao Bo explained embarrassedly: "The silver money that can be moved in the shop is used by the villain to plate the jade shop next door, and they can only give these worthless things to the young ladies." Wait for next year, next year the villain will definitely pull the best New Year's Lily to meet the second and fifth misses. ”
In fact, not only the money that could be moved in the shop, but also the money in Gao Bo's own hands were all invested in the jade shop. The money in the shop is not enough to buy the jade shop, and he has been running Zhiyaxuan for more than half a year, he is a little embarrassed to reach out to Xu Qijin at this time to ask for money, and besides him, there are other people who have taken a fancy to this jade shop, and if it is delayed for a while, I am afraid that it will be too late. So Gao Bo gritted his teeth and used all the money he could to use the jade shop.
Xu Qijin didn't understand the business matters, so he naturally didn't know the joints, so he smiled and asked Yu Qiu to bring a small red envelope with fifty taels of silver in it, saying that it was for Gao Bo to have a good year.
Xu Qirong was strong in his previous life, and he had to preside over the middle feed of the Dongyang Hou Mansion, so he was much more sensitive to the things on this silver coin than Xu Qijin.
She understands Gao Bo's temperament better than Xu Qijin, and knows that if Gao Bo really can't come up with the money, he won't just pull such a car of gadgets and give them to their sisters. At that moment, he quietly instructed Yu Xia to return to Fengbo Building to take two hundred taels of silver tickets, seal them and give them to Gao Bo.
Gao Bo pinched the silver ticket instead of the silver ingot, and thought it was a few silver tickets with a denomination of ten taels, so he didn't shirk it, and accepted it directly.
Xu Qirong smiled and did not point to Gao Bo. Seeing that the New Year is coming, if Gao Bo only celebrates the New Year by himself, a few dozen taels of silver is enough. But Gao Bo is the manager of Zhi Yaxuan, and he has purchased a new jade shop, and there are no hundreds of taels of silver in business, where can he fool him!
After talking about the business, Gao Bo hesitated for a moment, looked at Qiu Nong, Yu Xia and Yu Qiu, and finally glanced at Qiu Nong, and said, "I don't know if Miss Yu Xia and Miss Yu Qiu can avoid it." ”
Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong immediately understood what he was going to say, and waved their hands to let Yu Xia and Yu Qiu wait outside the door.
Gao Bo lowered his voice: "In the past half a year, the villain has gotten closer to the shopkeeper Duan of Bimo Xuan, and I found out a few days ago, in our house, only the eldest master, the third master, the third young master, the fourth young master and the second old lady have sent people to Bimo Xuan to buy Daishan ink and Liujin paper. ”
The eldest master Xu Tingjin and the fourth young master Xu You are both from the big room, the third master Xu Tingbai and the third young master Xu Sheng are both from the third room, Xu Qijin and Xu Qirong frowned. They also analyzed it in their hearts before, but the result of the analysis was that the big house and the third room were the least likely to harm the people in their fourth room.
The big house wants to have four rooms to succeed Brother You, and the third master of the third room, Xu Tingbai, is a concubine, and he is not treated by Mrs. Guo, and he has always been patient with all the rooms in the Xu Mansion, not to mention, something happened to them in the fourth room, and the third room did not get any benefits!
After sending Gao Bo away, Xu Qijin suddenly pulled Xu Qirong and whispered: "Zhuozhuo, do you remember that you went to Yangzhou two years ago." ”
Xu Qirong nodded, her sister asked a strange question, but in two years, she forgot where she was.
Xu Qijin continued: "After setting up a dojo for my mother on the Buddha's birthday, we went to the flower viewing banquet hosted by the eldest father together, do you remember what happened at the flower viewing banquet?" ”
Xu Qirong didn't quite understand what Xu Qijin wanted to say.
Xu Qijin sighed, with some anger in his eyes: "The fourth sister is the most obscure person on weekdays, why was she so bold that day, she actually said in front of the wife of the whole Xijing City that she ate venison during the burning mother's filial piety!" ”
Xu Qirong was stunned for a moment, and also remembered this incident, she also wanted to ask Xu Qiyu why she did that, who knew that after that day, Xu Qiyu regained her unsmiling temperament, and often stayed in her yard and did not go out. Later, the matter was closed.
Xu Qiyu is also a person from the third room, Xu Qirong hesitated in his heart, could it be that the third room really has other thoughts about their fourth room? But whether it was assassinating Xu Qijin or driving away her father, it would not be of the slightest benefit to Sanfang!
Xu Qijin waved his hand: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, let's take more precautions in the future, I don't believe he doesn't show his fox tail!" ”
Xu Qirong nodded, that's all. R1152
