Chapter 121: Entrustment

After the last big dish, the banquet was about to end, and when it was about to disperse, Shujie stood up in front of Xia Linyu and the other clansmen and saluted the patriarch and the fifth grandfather: "My mother has always regarded Aunt Mei as a good sister, so in the eyes of our three brothers and sisters, Aunt Mei is our aunt and elder. This time, Aunt Mei did not follow us into Beijing, but stayed in Yulin to take care of the house and tofu shop. If there is anything or any trouble, please ask the patriarch grandfather, the fifth grandfather, and the grandfathers to take care of it, Shujie is not very grateful. ”

For Shujie to leave Hongmei to take care of industrial affairs rather than entrust them to them, many clansmen are very unhappy. But at this time, Shujie said it so bluntly, directly stating that Hongmei is a family member and an elder, and solemnly entrusting Aunt Mei and Xia Zhai to the patriarch and clan elders to "take care", what can they say?

It is very likely that Shujie will go to the capital to make steady progress, and in the future, they will need more places to take care of Shujie, who wants to offend him by being the "first bird"? Didn't you see that the patriarch and several clan elders all swore to let Aunt Mei go to them if she needed anything?

Shujie turned to Xia Linyu and said: "According to the contract, the courtyard of Xitang Street will be handed over to the third uncle and sixth uncle after the year, and the employees of our tofu factory will not move to the new residence until the end of the year. "As for the silver that sells the yard, Wang Xi's Daxin Yaxing will collect it on his behalf, and he is not afraid that Xia Fu will go away.

Xia Linyu and the others were so angry that their chests were like a big ball of cotton, and they couldn't send it if they wanted to, Shujie couldn't believe them, and beat them in front of the patriarch and the clansmen? That is, please ask the patriarch and clan elders to help watch it?

They weren't prepared to wait until the end of the year, and it would be better for the silver to be dug up early, especially now that their desire to be the uncle of the three Shujie and go to the Xia Mansion to be the head of the house and take charge of the money has been frustrated, and they hope to dig out the silver as soon as possible to solve the current embarrassment.

A few days ago, they overheard a saying that those wealthy merchants would use special boxes to transport gold, silver, and valuables. It looks like a wooden box, but inside it is a special layer of dark iron and other materials, which cannot be cut by swords, burned by fire, and will not be soaked if it falls into water.

If that's the case, as long as you dig up the original cellar, you may be able to get a whole box of silver and undamaged precious medicinal materials, then you will make a lot of money, and you don't need to bother to spend silver to wash and process.

Ever since they thought of this possibility, their hearts felt as uncomfortable as a cat's scratch, and they immediately took a shovel and went to dig it themselves.

They were still thinking about it when they were eating. Shujie, they can't deal with it, and they can't help Hongmei's subordinates? When the time comes, intimidate a few words, and drive those hired workers out of the city. I didn't expect ......

Shujie, this dead boy is really leaky! However, the handover of the yard after the year is written in the contract, the contract is registered by the government, and there is a middleman Daxin Yaxing, Xia Linyu and the others know very well that they can only follow it, and it is not good for them to make trouble.

The five masters and servants of the Xia Mansion left the patriarch's house in despair. Sitting in the carriage, Yu suddenly wanted to take out the handkerchief from his arms, alas, it was in vain, and he didn't have a chance to use it.

After digging for a long time, Yu's face changed. She was sure that she had brought it out, and it must have accidentally fallen into the patriarch's house, what if it was discovered by the shrewd old lady of the patriarch's wife?

Xia's mother thought about it. comforted: "Second wife, your handkerchief is just a plain veil, without any embroidery or other imprints, how can you say that it is yours?" refuses to admit it, we can still say that it is her daughter-in-law.

Yu Shi thought about it, and the color of the handkerchief was light. There are no patterns, so it can be used regardless of age. Although there are few women at today's banquet, there are nine people in total, and there are so many maids and women who serve food, how can you think that it is her? It's just that my heart is weak.

Thinking of "weak heart", Yu glanced at the old lady, and the old lady hadn't said a word until this moment tonight. If it weren't for the fact that her eyes would blink and stare, she would have wondered if the old lady was demented.

The Yu family and Mrs. Xia are the same kind of people, and they especially understand the old lady's thoughts, and she will agree to her sister-in-law Ruoxue's plan, on the one hand, for the sake of her son, daughter, and grandchildren, and on the other hand, because she has always wanted to return to the capital again, right? It's not impossible for them to live in the capital, Xia Ruoxue still has two private houses, but they can't afford to lose that face!

But if the title of Shujie Gold List is titled, and the old lady returns to Beijing as Shujie's "grandmother", plus the rewards received by the emperor and the queen mother in Xia Zhai before, it will be very different.

Not only does he feel humiliated by "recognizing his son as his son-in-law", but he also wants to occupy the light of Shujie's three "granddaughters", the thoughts of people like them are so contradictory, but unfortunately, this feeling of "being happy while being painful" can only be imagined for a few days, and then it will be wiped out.

On the carriage of the Xia Mansion on the other road, Shu Yao told the Shujie brothers and Liu's mother about tonight, and Shuwen's fists creaked in anger. This group of people in Xia Mansion is really doing everything! Such a solution can also be figured out!

Fortunately, their sister is very smart and very cautious and sensitive, otherwise they would have to think about it. It's a dream and a human witness, and it's really not easy to get rid of the sticky mud in Xia Mansion.

Suddenly, Shuwen laughed out loud: "But sister, you are really amazing, pretending to cry and pretending to be so similar!" The tears were pouring out, and my eldest brother and I were terrified. ”

Shu Yao proudly took out the ginger handkerchief from her arms: "Wipe your eyes with this handkerchief of Aunt Six, to ensure that you can also burst into tears immediately, I don't know how much ginger Lu Dao used?" ”

Mother Liu smiled and doted on Shu Yao's forehead: "You kid, you are so bold with fast hands, or did the sixth wife accidentally drop the veil?" If it's discovered, will you lose your reputation? Not next time! ”

Shu Yao spit out her little pink tongue and playfully said "hehe", "Yes, don't dare anymore." ”

Shujie and Shuwen were not worried at all, and only laughed. They knew that Shu Yao must not have used "fast hands", but let the handkerchief on Yu's body enter the mahogany box in a blink of an eye.

"But," Mother Liu frowned, "Mrs. Sima, the grandmother of the Xia Mansion, is really vicious, cunning enough, and thoughtful, much more difficult to deal with than her two brothers, and if you are not careful, you will fall into her trap, you should be careful after entering the capital." Especially Brother Wen, don't be too easily provoked, when people are angry, they often become stupid, but they are involuntarily at the mercy of others. ”

Shuwen's face was slightly red: "Yes, Mother Liu, Wen'er knows what to say." ”

"By the way, Mother Liu, are we going to visit Mrs. Xu tomorrow? I don't know when the old lady will return to Beijing, if she goes with us all the way, we can take care of it. Shujie quietly diverted the topic to relieve his younger brother, although he knew that Liu's mother was good for Shuwen, and Shuwen really needed to be beaten, but since Shuwen had listened to it, he couldn't bear to let him continue to be embarrassed.

Shu Yao secretly shook her head and laughed, the eldest brother's maintenance of his younger brothers and sisters has formed an instinct, and it is simply an extreme short-sightedness. In her previous life, she was so stupid and selfish, but she was still a treasure in her eldest brother.

Of course, Liu's mother also knew what Lu Dao Shujie meant, so she replied according to his words: "It's okay, I have already asked Uncle Qiang to deliver the post this morning, and it will be just right for tomorrow." By the way, would you like to ask Mrs. Xu if you would like to go with us? The second room of the Xu Mansion is indeed dirty, but Lord Xu of the big house is still very reasonable, and he has a great friendship with Jin Gongzi. I heard that after Mrs. Xu came back this time, she immediately broke up the family, thinking that Lord Xu was under a lot of pressure in the capital. ”

When they came back from the Daimyofu City, Aunt Mei said that Mrs. Xu had sent someone to the Xia Mansion to bring gifts to Shujie and the others, as well as a letter written by Nian'er to Shu Yao. I heard that Shujie and the three of them went to the Daimyo Mansion City to prepare for the exam, and they deliberately left a message saying that Mrs. Xu would stay in Yulin for two or three months before returning to Beijing, thinking that she hoped that Shujie and them would come back to meet her, right?

Shujie nodded: "Well, Mrs. Xu has helped us a lot of brothers and sisters, Uncle Jin and Master Xu are good friends, Yao'er and Miss Nian'er are also the best handkerchiefs, we can't let Mrs. Xu have any misunderstanding." ”
