Chapter 47: The Poor Master's House and the New Steward
It was already time to send away the resentful Xu Pengju, Cao Wei hastily ate dinner and planned to blow out the lamp to sleep, and he was really tired of walking the dog on the street today, it seems that being an official errand is indeed not suitable for him, it is better to go home and sleep early.
When he saw the sweet potato walk into his room, Cao Wei was overjoyed, and couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be because the cold night was long and the beauty was unbearable, so he wanted to warm his body through friction between each other?
Since Cao Wei cured the epidemic of sweet potatoes in Yangzhou Mansion, the relationship between the two is like piercing a layer of window paper, and an unexpected taste flows between the two.
Now seeing that the sweet potato came late at night, Cao Wei hurriedly greeted it, took the sweet potato's hand, looked at her emotionally, and said shyly: "It's the first time for me, can you be gentle......"
“…… Master, we have no money. ”
"Huh?" Cao Wei was shocked, and brought a few thousand taels of silver from Yangzhou Mansion, and the recently collected Ping'an silver also had more than a thousand taels, so soon it was gone?
"There are a lot of people in the house, the expenses are large, buy rice and vegetables every day, the wages of the workers, the old man was drunk a few days ago, and he gave his subordinates a reward of 1,000 taels of silver, I can't stop it, the warehouse at home is empty, the old man has no points in his heart?"
Cao Wei said embarrassedly: "I've been busy sleeping for the past two days......"
Du Yan sighed faintly, took out an account book from his arms and handed it to Cao Wei, and said: "This is the account book of the family, the master has seen it, if there is no silver next month, the master can only take us servants to beg on the street together." ”
Cao Wei's face suddenly fell, more bitter than bitter gourd, could it be that he wanted to invite his subordinates to drink again, and then ask for the money back while they were drunk? I'm afraid that the next day my men will rebel......
It's only been a few days since I came to Nanjing, and the dividends of the drunken immortal brew have not yet been delivered, and it is still far from the day of receiving safe silver next month, so if there is no new silver to fill the treasury, I am afraid that I will really have to eat bran and drink thin. Cao Wei is constantly reflecting on himself, which step was wrong, resulting in such poverty now.
The family is poor, as the head of the family, it is incumbent on him to desperately take the money home, and it is the responsibility of a man to support the family, especially to support such a family. Don't look at the family is so big, outsiders look like a rich family, but the head of the family is likely to not be able to eat meat tomorrow, maybe in a few days even can't afford to eat green vegetables and radishes, just like some big bosses in modern times, living in villas, driving luxury cars, and holding Xiaomi, but in fact they are in debt, and only they know the bitterness in their hearts.
At this moment, Cao Wei missed Pan Fu who was far away in Qinyang County, how good it would be if this ATM was still around......
It's better to rest early, and tomorrow you have to get up early to think about making money, but it's really not okay to collect the next month's safe silver tomorrow, if you dare not to give, then let these businesses not be safe......
…………
There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the next day, when the servant opened the door, a gray-haired man was kneeling straight at the door of Cao's mansion, and two and a half children were kneeling behind him. The servants at home thought that this person had something to rely on his master, so he hurriedly ran into the house to report Cao Wei.
Cao Wei was furious after hearing this, straight mother thief! Slandered people into the homes of hundreds of households in Jinyiwei, what kind of tune is this? The child is definitely not mine, Cao Wei reviewed it carefully, and finally made sure that Yuanyang had not leaked in this life, and his heart was more calm, and he picked up the embroidered spring knife and walked towards the outside of the mansion with a fierce attitude.
Cao Wei came to the outside of the mansion and was about to scold, but he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Aren't you the one who died with your wife? What's it called, oh... That's right, Wang Sheng. What are you doing here? I don't have a widow in my family to introduce you! ”
"The old slave knocked to see the master," Qian Tong kowtowed on the ground, and the two children also kowtowed.
"Hurry up, it's cold on the ground in the winter, what minions? Master Ben was happy to reward you with silver, and he will take care of the two children in the future. Cao Wei hurriedly stepped forward to help the two children.
"The old man is benevolent, Wang Sheng received it, yesterday the old man threw the old slave silver ticket and left in a hurry, the old man can think that this is a small matter, but Wang Sheng can't, yesterday I bought a good Nanmu coffin for my deceased wife, and invited someone to come over to bury it, my deceased wife walked decently. Now that my wish has come true, this life is the master's, and I should come to serve in the house. ”
Cao Wei sighed in his heart, the ancients were really honest in their hearts, they had credit, and there was a lack of insight and talent in the house, so they couldn't always let sweet potatoes manage the whole family, after all, there were more and more things at home, and one person couldn't be busy at all, although Yu Dezhi was clever, but after all, he was young and couldn't do everything, so he still needed a person who could handle the trivial matters at home.
"In this case, you will stay, take the child in the east wing of the front yard, there is still a lack of a housekeeper at home, if you don't dislike it, then settle down in the house, take care of the family's affairs, if there is a suitable person in the future, I will give you some money, so that you can go out to live independently, the family will also have some business to take care of in the future, you can go to be a shopkeeper......"
Wang Sheng shook his head and said to Cao Wei: "The master is too worried, now it is very good to be able to give the two children a place to eat and clothe, and this is thanks to the grace of the master, if it were not for the help of the master, the bones of the deceased wife in the family would not know how to be buried."
When I came, I also inquired, although the master is only a hundred households in Jinyi, but he has a very good relationship with the young grandfather Xu of the Wei family, so his reputation is extremely high, and the future will be limitless. “
Wang Sheng looked very open, there was no look of grievance on his face, but there was more spirit, years of exile had long exhausted the heroism in his heart, and now he just wanted to live a good life. Yesterday, after burying his deceased wife at home, there were still some silver taels left, Wang Sheng bought a lot of meat on the street and brought it home, watching the two children eat wolf, Wang Sheng burst into tears.
These two children have not enjoyed happiness since they were born, they have become sensible at a young age, and they still sent meat to Wang Sheng's bowl halfway through eating, and kept persuading Wang Sheng not to cry and eat quickly.
When the children were just born, he named the two children as Shifu and Tianxi, but the two children did not feel the slightest blessing and celebration.
Now that he can find a place where the children are not frozen or hungry, Wang Sheng is very satisfied, and secretly vows in his heart that he must let the two children live a good life, and he must die for Cao Weixiao!
Wang Sheng quickly became involved in the role, and began to understand the situation at home as soon as he entered the door, focusing on the servants and ...... in the family Two taels of silver in the storeroom.
Looking at the empty warehouse, Wang Sheng was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, for the first time, it seemed that the master who had taken refuge seemed to be probably a poor ......
