Chapter Twenty-Eight: If You Have Milk, You Are a Mother

Wei Xiaoqi's words and deeds made Li Guolou listen to it tastelessly, all of them were what others had said and said again, there was nothing brilliant, no new clues, and he was still a loyal servant. "I can guarantee it!" "I can swear!" These words, Li Guolou's ears are calloused.

Li Guolou asked in his heart, what is the second grandmother Xie Xiuzhu doing with these slaves? Isn't it a waste to feed them and clothe them, and not to plant them without land, and not to let them do business? Does a rich man have to keep a large group of slaves in order to show that he is rich?

Li Guolou interjected: "Little Qizi, what do you usually do? ”

Wei Xiaoqi said: "We are usually quite busy, running at both ends of the house and Jumbo Xuan, and doing business is annoying." Xiao Liuzi and I are both Zhenbaoxuan buddies, working half a day, and then coming back here to do some physical work, Xie Ma will not let us rest, the flowers and plants in the house and the repairs, we do it. Originally, we didn't go to work in Jumbo Xuan, but Mother Xie muttered a few words to the second grandmother, afraid that the business matters would be taken by the eldest grandmother, so let us learn to do business. We are also willing to go out to see some of the world, with Vice President Xu to discipline us, we are also very good at learning, and the monthly salary has also risen. Except for the above two grandmothers in Wei Mansion, there is not much contradiction among the others, everyone performs their own duties and does their own thing. ”

Li Guolou asked, "What about the business of Jumbo Xuan?" ”

Wei Xiaoqi said with a smile: "The Wei family's business can be eaten for a year as soon as it opens, don't look at the usual doors, but the gold and silver caught are full of jars." There is an Andehai in the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has to come every month to collect a few peerless antiques, what is the price? You know, everybody is sending it together. We usually take treasures to the princes' mansions, and we are also very rich, and the housekeepers of those big families are good brothers with us. Xiao Lizi, don't think that we are servants, the annual commission can let ordinary people work for ten years. We are all connected to the Wei Mansion, and no one will betray the old man and the second grandmother. ”

Li Guolou said: "Little Seventh Son, since you are so rich, why don't you get married?" ”

Wei Xiaoqi rolled his eyes at Li Guolou and said, "Didn't you just start?" Without the second grandmother to guide us, we are not worthless slaves. ”

Ai Hai asked, "Then Wei Wenshao's death has a big impact on your Treasure Xuan?" ”

Wei Xiaoqi said: "How do I know this, but in the future, the eldest grandmother will be in charge, and Xiao Liuzi and I are afraid that we will be swept out of the Treasure Xuan and will be beaten back to our original form." Ay! This is also fate, count me unlucky. ”

Li Guolou looked at the lit outside, blew out the oil lamp, and then said, "Wei Xiaoqi, tell me about your grandmother." You should be familiar with it, right? ”

Wei Xiaoqi likes to talk, unlike Wei Xiaoliu's clever ghost, and said: "We used to work in the big grandma's mansion, and the eldest grandma was fierce to women, afraid that someone would be stolen by the master, so we don't have a beautiful girl in the Wei mansion." However, the eldest grandmother is very kind to us, and the difference in status between us is so big, if you can't get used to it, she won't come forward to say it, and Manager Wang will directly reprimand her. The people we use in Wei Mansion add up to more than 20 people, most of them are old people, and my father and mother are still with my grandmother. The eldest grandmother will not be too difficult for our subordinates, but since we have been branded as the second grandmother, we can only accept our fate. ”

Li Guolou looked down on Wei Xiaoqi in his heart, the old man of the Wei family died, but he was sad for his own pocket, and his sour words confided in the idea of going back to the eldest grandmother's mansion, that is, a white-eyed wolf who was not familiar with it, and he was far worse than Wei Xiaoliu.

Li Guolou sighed and said, "Little Seventh Son, I really feel sorry for you. Tell me how the grandmother looks, how old she is, and why she didn't have children? ”

Wei Xiaoqi glared at Li Guolou viciously and reprimanded: "The old man and the eldest grandmother didn't have such a thing, how can you ask me." You're still a fast catcher, why don't you have professional ethics? Xiao Lizi, if you talk to me like this on the street, I will slap you to death with a brick! ”

The dog bites people when they are in a hurry, this is not true at all, Li Guolou stepped on the tail of someone's dog, Wei Xiaoqi forgot to talk to the people in the yamen, and the hooligan ruffian habit was revealed.

Ma Dequan stood up for Li Guolou, pointed at Wei Xiaoqi, and scolded: "Stinky boy, if the chief asks you, if you know, just say it, how can you tell me when you pretend to be a big man!" ”

Wei Xiaoqi suddenly languished, like a grasshopper after autumn, just jumped up and fell down again.

Wei Xiaoqi looked at the faces of the three chiefs, their pale faces, knew that there was no good fruit to eat, accompanied by a smiling face, and said: "Little Lizi, don't mind, I'll tell you everything I know, don't sell me." Of course, the appearance of the eldest grandmother cannot be compared with the second grandmother, she has not yet reached the age of forty, but it is quite eye-catching. As for the two grandmothers who have no children, we said privately that it should be the master himself who has a problem. This is just our nonsense, who can tell the real situation. ”

Li Guolou said: "Little Qizi, you don't have to be afraid, I won't be embarrassed for you, what you say, we will keep it secret for you." Here you are our eyeliner, go out and keep an eye on other people, if there is any weird behavior, you have to report it to me, and the benefits are indispensable to you. After speaking, Li Guolou stuffed a piece of broken silver into Wei Xiaoqi's hand, this person can be used, and if he has milk, he is the master of his mother, and he is the person he likes to use the most.

Li Guolou's hand made Wei Xiaoqi smile, and he couldn't wait to dig out his heart and lungs, and he spit out all the inventory in his stomach, gushing endlessly, like a continuous river, flooding. And Ai Hai and Ma Dequan were dumbfounded, and they couldn't understand why Li Guolou wanted to spend this unjust money.

Li Guolou opened his mouth and said: "Little Qizi, I already know these things, you don't need to talk about it anymore, tell me how Deputy Chief Xu was promoted, and he is not surnamed Wei, how did he climb to your head?" ”

Wei Xiaoqile said: "Little Lizi, I knew you were going to ask this, so if you give me money, I can't lose you." If you don't start, you don't know. surnamed Xu, four years ago, it turned out to be an errand boy in Zhenbaoxuan, and his status was not as high as mine. first worshiped Mr. Wang as his godfather, and then he rose to prominence. Let the eldest grandmother take a fancy to it and promote it, but now that Mr. Wang is old, he is raised in the house and does not go out much. The house and the store are all single-handedly grasped by the surname Xu, and the lord also values him, who called the lord no queen. When the surname Xu is like a nephew, he carries the surname Xu everywhere. Ay! This is fate, like me, in fact, no worse than the surname Xu, but no one appreciates it. Back! ”

Hearing Wei Xiaoqi's long sigh, Li Guolou couldn't help but move the corners of his mouth, this time he didn't smile, quietly observing people, digging out people's inner thoughts and motives, it was a place for him to study well, not to easily expose his mentality, and not to let the other party see his inner thoughts.

Ai Haidao: "Wei Xiaoqi, Sai Weng is not blessed to lose his horse, such a big thing happened in the Wei Mansion, it is a test for you." Think about who is the most eccentric and who is the most suspicious today? ”

Wei Xiaoqi frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Official, playing cards today, Deputy Chief Xu always plays randomly, and he has been a little prince several times, so that the three of us can win money, and he is not willing to end, if he is suspicious, of course he is the most suspicious." What about the othersΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Xiao Liuzi is also quite suspicious, I'm asleep, what is he still rubbing? I think he's already in the yard, sneaky and unkind, and may want to peep into Xiaoqin's room. Xiao Liuzi is now a painstaking person to Xiaoqin, and he is obsessed with it, so I can only give up. HeyΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Li Guolou asked: "Wei Xiaoqi, when did Xiaoqin start not closing the door, who opened the door when the old man returned to the house before?" ”

Wei Xiaoqi said: "I can't say for sure, Xiaoqin always liked to be by the master's side in the past, as for why?" Fools know. However, our master has a high vision and is generous, how can he take a fancy to her. Who can snatch Xiaoqin for such a thing as opening the door? Of course, she took the lead, as for when she started to be lazy, I really don't know, the master doesn't talk about her, who knows what's greasy inside? ”

Li Guolou and Ai Hai exchanged glances, and there was nothing to squeeze out of Wei Xiaoqi.

Waiting for Wei Xiaoqi to leave, Ai Hai spoke: "I think there must be a traveling accomplice among them, otherwise how can this kid easily enter the Wei Mansion to commit murder." When I went back to interrogate Man Youli, I didn't know how many teeth Jin Erzi would knock out Man Youli? ”

Li Guolou recalled that Jin Ear's shot at Fan Dana, he broke off one of someone's arms with one move, this is a person with good muscles and bones. Don't look at the appearance of five accumulations and six thinness, it seems that he is weak and can't help the wind, but in fact, a person who is different from the outside is ruthless and vicious. This man will be his enemy and his nemesis in the future, and if he takes a wrong step, Golden Ears will fall into the ground.

Li Guolou said insincerely: "Jin Erzi is amazing, his legs and feet are awesome, and the younger brother is ashamed." ”

Ma Dequan squinted and said: "Xiao Lizi, I heard that you brought the eighth master into the courtyard with only one hand, and it was an easy thing, and people inside and outside the house witnessed it with their own eyes." What does it mean to praise Jin Erzi now? Do you want to draw a field to practice? ”

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Ma Dequan, don't fan the flames, I don't mean anything else, just say my heart and feel my heart." Do you understand friendship? Jin Erzi and I are comrades-in-arms who catch Lao Qian together. ”

Ai Hai sneered and said, "Jin Erzi said that he was arresting Lao Qian, will we believe it?" He is a dog who can't spit ivory out of his mouth. said that Fan Dana wanted to escape, there were so many gamblers outside, who saw that old man cross the threshold? We're just pretending to be confused. If he does this, one day someone will use it as a shield and push him out to seek death. I'd rather be on the streets at night than hug someone's thick legs. There will always be retribution for endless troubles. ”

Ma Dequan said with a smile: "Don't say it, don't talk about it, the chief's business, let's just don't talk about it." People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, let's continue to try the case, and when Xu Xiaohu is finished, it should be time for Wan Qizuo to arrive. We're going to go back to the yamen soon. ”

Li Guolou looked out of the door, the sky was gradually brightening, and there was a haze shrouded in it, it seemed that it was a cloudy day today, and the fog would also obscure people's eyes.
