Su Hong asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?" I also cried, and I said something slowly. ”

He hugged her, the third aunt gradually calmed down, crying is also a talk, if you keep crying and crying, it will only be boring, crying just right to achieve the goal.

She pointed to the ledger on the table and complained coquettishly: "Master, you don't know, Madame, she ......" Halfway through the words, Su Hong was aroused, but when he saw her stop again, he suddenly said unhappily: "Say it quickly, I will bear it for you, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Don't be angry, the concubine is just afraid that the lord thinks that the concubine is complaining, the conscience of heaven and earth, the concubine is really out of line, the lady has embezzled all the money in the family, and now it is the concubine's turn, and even the silver that is purchased can't be produced, the lord also knows, and it is difficult for me to fill in the monthly silver every month." The third aunt quietly looked at Su Hong's face, and when she saw that he was silent for a long time, she immediately stood to the side, quietly waiting for his reply.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the third aunt came to his side, took Su Hong's hand and asked, "Master, the concubine has an idea, but it is a little inappropriate in terms ......of reputation, and I don't know if the master will agree, so I haven't said anything" The third aunt opened her mouth, and when she saw Su Hong looking over, she gradually lost her words.

"You just say it, I'll listen and see what a good idea is." Su Hong is not happy in the house now, and this patience is not as good as before, if he had a bad temper, he would have slapped him in the face, how could there be room for the third aunt to talk more.

"The lord also knows that all this in the house today is made by the lady, if the concubine is capable, she will naturally fill the hole, but the cost of this silver is huge, and the concubine has the heart and the strength, and it took a few days to come out, and I want to ask the lord to check it." The third aunt was vague, and seeing that Su Hong was becoming more and more impatient, she hurriedly said her thoughts.

"Master, there are still many valuable things in the lady's room, if we exchange those things for cash, then the Prime Minister's Mansion will be saved." The third aunt carefully observed Su Hong's emotions, and as long as there was something wrong, she immediately dispelled this thought.

Su Hong was silent for a moment, and then asked, "How much might it be worth?" ”

The third aunt was overjoyed, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, covered her overexcited emotions, coughed lightly, and then roughly estimated: "Don't say too much, the concubine can at least ensure that the house has the silver for the winter this year, as for the rest, if you can have more, it will be better, if not, the concubine and the master can think of a way again." ”

Su Hong thought for a moment, and then saw the third aunt's pleading look, and asked hesitantly for a while: "If Zhi'er knows about it, and there are people outside who talk nonsense, there will be no good end in the entire mansion at that time." "It's not nice to say, the third aunt is beating the idea of the dowry of her wife, if it really spreads, the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not good.

The third aunt also took this into consideration, patted her chest and promised: "How can the concubine make the master embarrassed, you can rest assured, now that the second and fourth ladies are married, it is rare for the two young ladies to come back, and the lord does not have to worry about them knowing about this matter, as for the eldest lady, the lord will not talk much when he looks at her that day, and when the time comes, let's do it more hidden, who will know what is going on in the lady's room?" ”

Su Hong looked at her in wonder and asked, "You have a lot of ideas in your heart now, and such a big thing will come as soon as you open your mouth." ”

The third aunt chuckled: "This is not for the master, since the master has handed over this family to me, I naturally have to do my best, I can't make the master embarrassed, the master can rest assured, even if something happens at that time, it will be the concubine, and it will not make it difficult for the master." ”

"I'm the kind of person who is ruthless, since it was the trouble caused by Madame, naturally she has to bear it, so I will do it according to your ideas." Su Hong stroked the third aunt's hand, and the two of them said affectionate words, and they suddenly became a ball.

The third aunt got Su Hong's words, and after serving Su Hong on the second day, she recruited the housekeeper, "Butler, where is the lady locked up now?" ”

"Madame is now locked up in her own yard, what is the matter with the third aunt?" The housekeeper looked up at the third aunt with a calm appearance, and he could see that she had used means to get to the top.

"It's nothing, the lord just ordered, Mrs. took the housekeeper's silver, these things naturally want her to return, now Mrs. has no cash on her, so she will take the things to mortgage, you quickly send a few people to the lady's room to move things." The third aunt opened her mouth in surprise when she saw the housekeeper, and asked unhappily: "The housekeeper is unwilling, this is what the master just told me, if you don't believe it, the master has not gone far, you can catch up and ask." ”

The housekeeper hesitated, and saw that the third aunt didn't look like a fake, so he said ruthlessly: "Just listen to my aunt, I will immediately let people move things, if something really goes wrong, I hope that my aunt will help the slave say a few good words in front of the master." ”

"Don't worry, the housekeeper, I have a conversation with the master first, and I won't embarrass the housekeeper." The third aunt waved her hand indifferently, and the housekeeper could only arch her hand and retreat.

The housekeeper soon sent someone to Yao Ruoshui's room to move things, and the valuable ones would not be let go, hand ornaments, vases, ornaments, and soon a large box was moved, and the third aunt flipped left and right and asked, "This is all the things in the lady's room?" ”

"It's almost here, and there are other large items that haven't been put in, and they will be packed in another box, auntie, these are small pieces, keep them for aunt to play with." The housekeeper carefully complimented, now that the third aunt has the right to be a housekeeper, there are still many opportunities for the two to meet in the future, and this relationship must be preserved first.

The third aunt picked out a few things, and the rest should be what it should be or what it is, and said with a chuckle: "Forget the others, it's not easy in the house now, you quickly exchange them for cash, and you can spend a while, if it's still less, you have to find another way." ”

The third aunt is a little embarrassed when she looks at these things now, she has been able to plug this hole more, and now it seems that she is a little embarrassed, but unfortunately she has already made a dead word to the master, and she has to raise the money anyway.

"It should be enough, and my aunt doesn't have to worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and now I will pass the difficulties in front of me first." Su Dongxuan came in from outside, saw the housekeeper discussing business with the third aunt, waited for a while, and heard her worried words again, and comforted softly.

The third aunt had to sigh and said: "It's just like this, housekeeper, I'm sorry for you, this silver has to be exchanged as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid that the house won't be able to support it at that time." ”

"Auntie, don't worry, the old slave will do it immediately." After the housekeeper withdrew, Su Dongxuan stayed with the third aunt for a while, and the third aunt took out the account book to show her, and said to her seriously: "Xuan'er, you also have to learn from the housekeeper director, and in the future, you will learn from the aunt when she is in charge of the house, and then I can find a good family for you." ”

Su Dongxuan nodded casually, as if she didn't take it to heart, and the third aunt didn't do much to persuade her, she would naturally understand that she was still young now and didn't understand the power of the housekeeper.

The housekeeper exchanged the things for cash, and handed a silver ticket to the third aunt, and she suddenly asked in disbelief, "How can there be only such a little?" ”

"Auntie, this is the most I have exchanged with the shopkeeper, the large items in the lady's room are not particularly valuable, according to the slaves, these silver are only enough for the house to use until the New Year." The housekeeper's brows have not been stretched since Yao Ruoshui's accident.

"You go down first, and I'll figure it out when the time comes." The third aunt sighed.
