Chapter 221: Value (Seeking Pink)
h2> Fourth Mrs. was shocked, and her already somewhat pale face turned even paler, "Who calculated us?" ”
The fourth lady obviously asked knowingly when she said this, and it was obvious.
Fang Cai was still worried that the Hou Mansion would be calculated, so the Hou Ye came in with a blue face, or with the fourth master, could it be something else?
Hou Ye's face was very bad, which made the old lady's heart lift.
After he sat down, the old lady couldn't wait to ask, "What's the matter?" ”
Hou Ye glanced at the old lady, his eyes fell on the rewards that had not yet had time to be cleaned up, and he frowned solemnly and said, "On the way back, the person who gave the fourth brother Jin Toad said that he sent it wrong, he originally wanted to give the fourth brother two jade gold toads, who wanted to take the wrong one." ”
Shen Anxi stood aside and laughed when he heard it, "Who is this deceiving, the jade toad and the real golden toad can be confused, doesn't the fourth uncle even look at the gift, the fourth aunt just said that it was the golden toad, and it was accepted when it could cure grandmother's illness." ”
The fourth master was a little embarrassed and at a loss.
The fourth lady bowed her head, looking like she knew what was wrong.
On the contrary, it was the second wife who helped Yuan and said, "The thing was sent by someone, and everyone said that it was sent wrong, and our Wu'an Hou Mansion will never worry about the idea of not returning it, but now that Jin Toad has been sent to the palace, how can I return it?" ”
The third lady was not happy when she heard this, "The second sister-in-law's words are strange, the Wu'an Hou Mansion will not worry about something and not return it, but the things sent by the fourth brother and the fourth brother and sister, the old lady is the master and sent it to the palace, why does it sound like the old lady is wrong?" ”
The second wife's face stiffened, hooked her lips and sneered, "The third brother and sister, don't misinterpret what I mean, I'm worried about what to do in the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, they all say that they take people's money and do things with people, and they accept other people's things, so they have to do things for others, and the fourth brother does this without consideration, but it is also for the sake of the old lady's body, but the fourth brother and sister have made it clear that they received it for the old lady, and they also gave it to the old lady. ”
The third lady was about to speak, but the second lady took a quick step and said, "How did the good old lady think of sending Jin Toad to the palace, whose bad idea was this, even if it stays for a day, it won't be so embarrassing." ”
An Rong lay down and was shot.
Shen Anxi said very unhappily, "Second aunt, the fourth sister just mentioned that she sent two drops of Jin Toad's urine to the Queen Mother, but it's not a bad idea, besides, the fourth uncle said that it was calculated, and it was because people were able to hang Jin Toad Wu'anhou Mansion and not pay it back, so they would show their faces and want to go back, if Jin Toad is still there, will they want it?" ”
An Rong said, "I want to know what the person who sent the golden toad wants our Wu'an Hou Mansion to help do?" ”
An Rong's sentence can be regarded as to the point.
What is there in the Wu'an Hou Mansion that is worth calculating for others.
The fourth master looked ashamed and did not speak.
However, after the Hou Ye sulked for a while, he spoke, "That Jin Toad, the other party said that it was given to Prince Rui's mansion, and he figured out the hand of Prince Rui's son, and bought a thousand daggers from the Li family iron shop, who wanted Prince Rui to have good bones, Prince Rui refused to help, he had no choice but to return, and on the way, he learned that the Li family iron shop had something to do with An Rong, so he would stammer with the fourth brother." ”
An Rong was speechless, how could she calculate and calculate, and in the end it all came to her?
"Why do you want a golden toad again?" An Rong asked.
Wu Anhou shook his head, he didn't know either.
The old lady's face was gloomy, her whole body trembled with anger, and she suddenly lost her good impression of the filial piety of the four old men and the fourth wife.
The old lady fiddled with the Buddha beads and said, "Regardless of whether the Li family's iron shop has anything to do with An Rong or not, dare to calculate my Wu'an Hou Mansion, this will never be allowed, how much is the value of the golden toad, it will be converted into silver and returned." ”
The fourth master raised his eyes suddenly, "But ......." ”
The old lady slapped the table angrily, "What?!" No, but! ”
The fourth lady turned pale in fright, stood up and pleaded guilty, "It's the daughter-in-law's fault, but the golden toad is invaluable, how can we let the Hou Mansion lose so much because of our momentary negligence." ”
Hou Ye looked at the old lady and sighed lightly, "People only need gold toad, not silver." ”
Shen Anxi bared his teeth and sneered, "It's really shameless and skinless, but they gave the wrong gift, it was extremely despicable to return the gift, and there were so many requests, in this case, what did you give it in the first place?" ”
Shen Anxi didn't dare to put it bluntly, she just felt that Sifang was bullying the Hou Mansion with outsiders.
Seeing that the room was quiet, Shen Anxi became more and more curious.
She looked at An Rong and asked, "Fourth sister, why do people buy a thousand daggers that are sharpened like clay and go to Prince Guòrui's son, and don't buy them directly, and there are not many." ”
An Rong didn't speak, but Xia He on the side said with a smile, "Sixth girl, daggers that sharpen iron like clay are expensive and rare, and only the old Li blacksmith will be in the Li family's iron shop, if it is relied on by him, it will take at least half a year, people are afraid that they are in a hurry, and in terms of price, if there are acquaintances, it can be cheaper by tens of thousands of taels, right?" ”
Xia He knew so much about the Li family's iron shop, which made the old lady a little impressed.
The old lady remembered that An Rong went to the Li family's iron shop to buy a dagger and gave it to Shen Anbei and his classmates, and used a dagger with sharpened iron as a stepping stone, and asked Prince Rui to help ask for an official for the third master.
The Marquis said that the person who sent the golden toad was planning to bribe Prince Rui's son, and said that he had something to do with An Rong, could it?
The old lady looked at An Rong with doubts.
An Rong smiled back at the old lady and said, "Grandmother, the Li family iron shop has something to do with me, no matter who buys more than ten daggers from the Li family iron shop, only one is sold every three days is a rule I set, this rule will not change, no matter what bribes will not change." ”
An Rong said something, and the eyes of the room widened.
The rules of the Li family's iron shop were actually set by the four girls?!
The fourth old man was stunned and looked at An Rong, "Can't you make an exception?" ”
An Rong shook his head, "No." ”
The attitude is very resolute, and there is no possibility of wavering.
The fourth old man's eyes were a little cold, "That's a big business, why don't you ...... the Li family's iron shop." ”
An Rong stretched out his hand to interrupt him, and said with a smile, "Fourth uncle, the business of the Li family's iron shop is good, I know, I don't want the Li family's iron shop to become bigger, and I and the Li family are satisfied with this at present." ”
As he spoke, An Rong sat down next to the old lady and said, "Grandmother is right, how can the people who calculate my Wu'an Hou Mansion be appeased, if there is one, there will be two, if everyone follows suit, won't my Wu'an Hou Mansion be subject to others?" In the future, my grandmother will not dare to accept gifts, even if she dares to accept them, she will not dare to use them, and she will not dare to use them if she is stored in the zài warehouse, so what do you want our juniors' filial piety to do? In the future, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, especially things from unknown sources, the fourth uncle still receives less. ”
The second wife couldn't see An Rong being so arrogant, so she said coldly, "An Rong, what you said is too hurtful, your fourth uncle and four aunts are also for the good of the old lady, for the sake of her body and bones, if you can save the old lady's life, won't you accept it?" ”
An Rong hooked her lips and smiled, wanting to use filial piety to force her to regress, but she was too underestimated.
"Doctor Liu said that as long as my grandmother is less angry and less worried about the bad things in the house, she can live a long life, and if she really wants to be filial to her grandmother, she will be safe, and she will fight less of the crooked ideas of the Hou Mansion, let alone hit me with the idea," An Rong was really angry.
I want her to say that the fourth wife is even more hateful than the eldest lady.
The eldest lady is stealing, it is an absolute mistake, everyone can blame her, she is ruthless, and she should be.
But the fourth wife achieves her goal through filial piety, and those who don't know will think that she is cold-natured, and she is blamed.
What's wrong with her cold temperament, for the sake of a good temperament, why should she be wronged?
She won't help.
On the contrary, she will also add fuel to the fire, "Fourth uncle, if I were you, I would directly find someone to arrest the person who wanted to buy a thousand daggers with iron like mud, what do ordinary people need so many daggers for, I suspect that he is rebellious!" ”
Saying that, An Rong looked at her father and said, "Such a person, our Hou Mansion should stay away." ”
Shen Anxi nodded heavily, "That is, he should be arrested and interrogated first." ”
The fourth old man's back was moist, and he argued, "People are just a businessman, and they just want to make a few more money." ”
An Rong looked at him and smiled, "Fourth uncle, I'm just guessing, since he is trying to make money, it's not right to exchange the golden toad for silver for him, our Wu'an Hou Mansion is not afraid of a merchant, and then take 10,000 steps back and say, the golden toad is not used by my grandmother, it was sent to the palace, if he really wants it, I can only go out and enter the palace to beg the queen mother, at that time, the fourth uncle will accept gifts from others casually, and the unclear things will spread throughout Kyoto, and the career will definitely be damaged, and the merchant, I think he will not be able to move an inch in the future." ”
An Rong said it lightly.
Knowing that Jin Toad was sent to the palace, he forced the Marquis of Wu'an to return it, didn't he force them to go to the Queen Mother?
Dare to ignore the life of the Queen Mother, and ask for the lives of your nine clans!
The imperial court, the royal family is such a domineering, otherwise why would there be good things to pay tribute?
The fourth old man's forehead was bruised, but he had to endure it.
The fourth wife didn't know what to do, and looked at the third and second wives beggingly.
The third lady did not speak.
The second wife had nothing to say.
The old lady sat there and asked Master Hou, "How much is a pair of golden toads worth?" ”
Hou Ye shook his head, he didn't know.
An Rong stood aside and said, "I've seen one bigger than the fourth uncle gave to my grandmother, worth six thousand taels, and the two will not exceed ten thousand taels." ”
Shen Anxi looked at An Rong curiously, "Fourth sister, when did you see it?" ”
An Rong's throat choked.
That was in the previous life, when the emperor had his birthday, someone gave it away, and it would take two years to count.
An Rong couldn't explain it, because anyone who had such a precious golden toad couldn't help but show it, and then sent it back and forth, and finally went to the emperor.
An Rong was helpless, and gave Shen Anxi a look that you know.
Shen Anxi automatically made up for it, and finally became Xun Zhi, and the fourth sister knew the most mysterious and local tyrant only him.
The old lady didn't expect that the two golden toads would cost 10,000 taels to the Hou Mansion, and she was distressed. R1152
