Chapter 355: Inquiring
Wu was distressed, and immediately ordered Mama Zhao to serve the mung bean soup that had been boiled in the morning, and she personally watched Lu Shuyi drink a big bowl.
"After staying up all night, don't get angry, drink a bowl of mung bean soup and defeat the fire." Wu looked at the account book seriously, and said strangely again: "I haven't taught you to keep accounts, how can you still have these things?" ”
Lu Shuyi put down the soup bowl in her hand and said with a chuckle: "I also have fun watching Moju Dongmei and them keep books in my spare time, so I will follow ......"
Wu nodded with satisfaction, feeling that her daughter could really start a family.
If she marries like this, she can rest assured.
She smiled gently, looked at the few granges and shops highlighted on the booklet, and hesitated: "It's just that these places are all in the capital, even if they are given to us, we are not easy to operate." ”
Changle Town is more than a day away from the capital, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth.
Moreover, business needs to be carefully taken care of in order to make money, so how can it be carefully taken care of such a long distance?
Therefore, the Wu family felt that it was a little inappropriate for them to ask for these fields and shops.
So she took a fancy to several fields and shops in Changle Town, one was a spice shop in the east of the town, and the other was in the west of the town, a silk shop of five sizes.
"I can look at these places, it's close to us, and it's very convenient for Pingsuri to go around the shop if you want to......"
However, these two shops are not very profitable, and they are not in a good location.
Lu Shuyi shook her head and frowned: "These two locations are not good, even if they are close." No matter how carefully we take care of it, the benefit is also minimal, you should consider other places, we are not afraid of far away, just find a trustworthy shopkeeper......"
Mo Ju also said: "Yes, the location here is too poor, and there are only a few hundred taels of income every year, so it's better to ...... other places."
Wu had a bad choice, and after watching it for a long time, he had to put the account book on the kang table and said, "That's it." I don't want to do that. I'll let your father see it later. Besides, even if we want the fields and shops in these areas, the old lady may not agree to me......"
She thought of the Sixth Master.
The sixth master is Mrs. Lu's heart, since these places make money. It's all in the capital again. Then the old lady probably gave them all to the sixth master.
Wu was a little discouraged at the thought of this.
All are children born to the same parents. It's just going to be partial to this, towards that......
But they're also about to move out, and they're out of sight. and so as not to be upset.
As soon as she thought of moving, she became interested and said to Lu Shuyi: "Your father said that we will move out in two days." ”
Lu Shuyi already knew about going to Liuye Hutong.
In the previous life, the house in Liuye Hutong was given to Lu Shufang as a dowry, and finally became the property of the He family.
In this life, it has become their second room residence.
However, I heard that the house in Liuye Hutong is very good, the sitting is good, and the design inside is also good.
She chuckled and asked, "So when are we going to pack up?" ”
If you can move away, you can move away, it's really sad to live here.
“…… Your father told me to go and see it, and he asked me to think about what kind of furniture to use first, so that I could order a set earlier. Besides, you can get your own room, write me a list if you want to decide anything, and I'll send someone to do it. ”
Wu Shi was very satisfied in his heart, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and said: "Liuye Hutong is also separated from Mao'er Hutong by one street, I want to go to your grandmother's house in the future, but it is ...... close."
The mother and daughter were talking and laughing, and the third wife suddenly came.
The third wife has hands and eyes to the sky, and she has also heard some rumors about what has happened these days, but the news is not very accurate.
The third wife wore a red woven gold gown with a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, a mink shawl, a bean-green eight-treasure pattern horse-faced skirt, her hair was meticulously combed into a round bun, and the hairpin was a ruyi pair of hairpins with red gold bat patterns, and a pair of emerald green jade bracelets were also worn on the snow-white wrists.
And the makeup is also more delicate than before, with thin willow eyebrows, delicate red lips like roses, a layer of tender red lipstick on it, and sunflower powder on both cheeks, which is indeed more delicate and moving than before.
Since the last time he went out of the outer room of the third master of Lu, the third wife has paid more and more attention to her appearance, and she has become more and more gentle to the third master, for fear that he will run out to raise the outer room again......
Wu hurriedly beckoned the third wife to take a seat, and sent someone to pour tea and serve refreshments.
The third lady smiled and said, "Don't bother, I'm just here to sit and leave in a while." ”
Lu Shuyi doesn't have to guess to know what she is here for, it is nothing more than inseparable from the matter of separating the family and Lu Shufang's matter, after all, the Lu family is so big, and everyone will hear the wind when there is a disturbance.
However, Lu Shufang's affairs have been pressing, and she only said that she was sick, and it stands to reason that the third wife should not have heard the exact news......
However, sooner or later, the matter of the separation must be known, the third wife is well-informed, and Lu Shuyi is not surprised.
She sat quietly on the pestle on one side and listened, but who knew that the third lady turned her eyes to her, and said with a smile: "The young girl shouted early in the morning that she was going to watch the Keju competition today, and she was worried that no one would accompany her, so you should accompany her." ”
This is to break her apart......
Lu Shuyi couldn't help but go, so she had to get up and say, "Then I'll go to accompany the sixth sister......
When she went out, she didn't go far, but quietly stood under the window with someone and listened.
Mama Zhao also had no choice but to quietly move a pestle for her, and simply let her sit under the window and listen.
After some polite greetings, the third lady really mentioned the matter of splitting up the family, she said: "I also heard from a servant woman, I was very surprised at the time, so I went to the old lady's house early in the morning to ask for peace, and asked the old lady, sure enough, your second room is going to be separated to live ......"
“…… Why are you going to break up all of a sudden? The third lady frowned.
Although she heard that the second room was going to be separated, she didn't know what it was, and she didn't know why she was separated.
Unfortunately, the old lady's tone was too tight, and she couldn't inquire about anything, so she had to come to Wu's place to inquire about the news.
In her opinion, Wu is a person who can't lie, and she won't refuse others, so she should be able to say it when she asks her.
The third lady leaned forward and looked at Wu Shi.
Wu didn't say much, but said lightly: "It's nothing, the children are all older, and it is some to live separately." ”
She lowered her eyebrows and drank tea, not for any other reason.
The third lady pursed her lips to express disbelief, she guessed: "It won't be for the sister-in-law, right?" How did I hear that the matter of the Seven Girls has something to do with her? ”
Wu immediately retorted: "Who are you listening to nonsense? There is no thing, the seventh girl was just sick that night, and she fainted in the garden, and she only found out in the middle of the night......"
The third lady saw that the Wu family was a little anxious, and she couldn't ask anything else, so she could only talk about the separation of the family, and said: "I just heard the old lady say that you are going to move to Liuye Hutong, and now you are much closer to your parents' house." ”
Wu Shi's face turned slightly positive when he heard this, and said with a light smile: "It was my mother who was considerate of us, so she gave us this house, and I am also very satisfied." ”
But the third lady did not speak.
Is this considerate?
It is clear that they are unwilling to give them the most valuable house.
Others don't know what she knows clearly, the old lady and the old lady still have two big mansions in Yizhou, and those houses are all big mansions with four entrances and five entrances, which are much stronger than those in Liuye Hutong.
The Wu family is honest and coaxing, if her mother-in-law gives her such a house, she doesn't want it.
She glanced at Wu quietly and saw that she looked very satisfied.
The third lady pursed her lips, and if she wanted to say something else, Wu refused to say a word.
Lu Shuyi listened and laughed slowly under the window, her mother is not stupid, she knows what to say and what not to say.
This also reduces the opportunity for the third wife to talk about right and wrong.
She got up with a smile and said to Mo Ju, "Let's go, go to Miss Seven." ”
The group went to find Lu Shufang.
Lu Shufang's complexion looked better than yesterday, and Xiaohong was also released to serve her side again.
Lu Shuyi asked Xiaohong how much Lu Shufang had eaten in the morning.
Xiaohong said happily: "Miss Seven has a good appetite, she drank a bowl of red bean porridge and ate half an egg cake......
Lu Shufang looked at her and smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a fool, I won't seek death again." ”
In the past two days, she seemed to be reborn, and many things gradually figured out, who was good to her, who was using her, and who looked down on her, and her own shortcomings, all of which were reflected on one by one.
So she took Lu Shuyi's hand and talked seriously about her uncle taking 100,000 taels of silver from the Lu family and the He family: "I really didn't think that my uncle would do this, I always thought that they would protect me......"
“…… However, they took advantage of me. ”
Lu Shufang's eyes were a little hateful, she trusted her uncle An Zhiyuan so much, but she didn't expect him to betray her in private, which made her very unhappy.
So she wanted to get the silver back.
She told Lu Shuyi her thoughts, and said, "Since we want to go out to live separately, if we can get back the 100,000 taels of silver, we can also subsidize the family's chewing, right?" ”
It is rare that Lu Shufang is willing to think about their second room.
However, this idea is not practical enough.
Lu Shuyi groaned: "Your idea is good, but the silver has been given, how can you get it back?" ”
Lu Shufang didn't think about it, and immediately said: "I'll go back and steal it back, I know where my uncle's silver is." ”
Lu Shuyi held her forehead, her face full of helplessness.
thought that Lu Shufang had already brought her brains, but she still thought wrong......
She stared at her and asked Lu Shufang: "Then do you know what happens if you steal 100,000 taels of silver?" (To be continued......)
