Chapter 18: Li Er's Butler (1)
In the afternoon of this day, the housekeeper Li took the craftsmen invited from the county seat to sprinkle lime on the foundation of the cleaned house, preparing to rebuild the house. A "fire" burned to death seven old kitchen mothers and a little maid, and the account office gave a sum of silver, ready to let Li Er's housekeeper go to the county seat to buy some old mothers to come back, but was stopped by the old lady. This housekeeper Li was so busy, but the old lady still found him from the backyard construction site and sent him to the county seat again. The cousin of the niece of Sun Ledger is the concubine of Li Er's housekeeper, so he has always been close to Li Er's housekeeper. After the big butler Li got into the carriage and left, he took leave from the head of the account room in the account room, hurriedly went out of the house, and looked for Lao Zhao, who raised horses, to go straight to Dongshan with a horse.
There is a hill with an altitude of more than 400 meters three miles to the east of the Li Mansion, which is called Dongshan. The tree-lined flat land on the top of the East Mountain is buried with Mrs. Li's mother, and the old lady's original partner is also buried on the East Mountain, it is estimated that in the near future, the old lady will also be buried like this, and a continuous Yin House is built here, occupying the entire top of the East Mountain. The old lady is very particular, so this mausoleum has already been repaired, and the old lady has come to see it many times, and has lived in this yin house for one night.
At this time, the second housekeeper Li was taking the family members, but he was not in the yin mansion of the Li family's ancestral tomb. In the depression halfway up the mountain, there are countless raised small earthen bags, and the people lying in the earthen bags are all descendants of the Li family before their lives. They are burying those who were burned to death by "fire", saying that they were buried, but in fact it was very simple, just rolling it with a reed mat and putting it in the pit to bury it. If you meet a descendant with a high status, the Li family will also be merciful to give up the bed and bamboo mat. If it is a subordinate of the status of Li Er's housekeeper, he will get a thin coffin with a white face. If you are matched by the main family and have a family, most of them will pay for the burial at their own expense, which is much more decent than the burial of the main family, although you still have to be buried in Dongshan, but the main family will allow you to choose a place to be buried outside the wall of the yin house on the top of the mountain.
When I came to the foot of the East Mountain, I met two people. Sun Jiaofang fixed his eyes on it, it was a doll about twelve years old and a sturdy young man. That young man is that bastard! He carried a bamboo basket with some sacrificial items in it.
Sun took the reins and immediately asked, "Are you Niu Ba?" ”
"Yes." Since discovering out that he was Zhu Qizhen last night, Tong Hang has been immersed in excitement. So when he fell asleep sitting at the table last night, and then he didn't know how he went to bed, but when he got up in bed in the morning, he thought about it for a long time, and then Xiaocui came in with a red face and washing water, and he simply didn't bother to think about it. Now seeing those subordinates in the Li Mansion, he felt as if he was on top. This is the child's heart, he secretly warned himself, not like this! It can't be like this! But my heart is still swelling!
"What's his name?" Sun asked arrogantly. The godson of a subordinate is still so arrogant, and this is worth it.
"I'm called Hanzi, the follower of the eighth son, arranged by the old lady." Han Zi Urn shouted angrily.
Eight...... Eight sons? Follow...... Attendant? Arranged by the old lady? Sun Jiaofang was dizzy, this is really a strange thing every year, especially this year! With a wave of his whip, he struck his horse and left.
"Who is he?" Tong Hang asked.
"He is the bookkeeper, and he comes to my house every autumn to collect rent." Hanzi replied: "Last year, he wanted Xiaofeng to pay rent, but I beat him, and later the old lady found out, so he didn't dare to make trouble." ”
One Huang Shiren! Oh, it's not Huang Shiren, it's a dog's leg! Who is Huang Shiren? The old lady is not like that. Whose power is he fighting?
This dog, oh no! That Sun bookkeeper didn't know that Tong Hang scolded him for being a dog. His heart exploded at this time, that fool was actually called Hanzi, what kind of dog name is this? I have to find an opportunity to borrow the hands of others to rectify him! Don't be angry, I'm not angry!
Li Yi heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he looked up, he saw Sun Ledger riding a horse. A family member hurriedly stepped forward to pull the reins, and Sun Shufang dismounted and rushed over.
"Sun Accounts ......" Li Er's housekeeper greeted him.
"Second housekeeper, can you take a step to speak?"
When Li Yi heard this, he knew that there must be something related to him in Sun Ledger. Hurriedly said: "Let's go, let's go sit over there." He turned to the man who was leading the horse and said, "Come to the rejoicing, beckon them to finish their work, and wait for me to come and walk together." Then the two of them walked together to the top of the mountain.
Seeing that he was far away from the people, Li Yi asked: "Sun Accounting, so careful, why is it so alarmed?" ”
"It's not a big ......deal," Sun sighed, thinking about how to pick the fool into this matter, and let out the evil anger in his heart.
"What the hell is going on?" Although the account room is in charge of the young lady, she is not allowed to stretch out her hand with Li Donglin. But if a small account room entertains itself, it will have to be weighed. Li Yi didn't lose his temper because he believed that he didn't dare, there must be something, otherwise he ran so far to find out why he came.
"That's right, Second Steward. Originally, the young lady arranged a sum of silver taels to send someone to the county seat to buy some old mothers and maids, but I have already communicated with Mr. Wang, and I want to send you. ”
It's a good oil spread, not bad! "It's hard to be a grandson." Li Yi couldn't help but smile.
"I heard that Niu Ba went to the old lady at noon, and then the old lady sent someone to send the silver two to the big butler and let him go." Sun Shufang secretly glanced at Li Yi, and saw that his face was getting more and more ugly, and said cautiously: "This is also what I heard, and I can't do it accurately." He hurriedly put himself away.
"Don't worry, I know how to do it. But I still have to thank you, Sun Ledger, Juan'er is always reciting Lan'er these days, you bring a message, let Lan'er take her cousin to get together with her cousin. The family should always come and go. ”
Sun Shufang couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that the second housekeeper was going to arrange for his son to enter the house on an errand, so he hurriedly thanked him again and again: "Second housekeeper, if there is anything in the future, just words, I will do it immediately." ”
"Well said, well said." Li Yi knew what Sun Jifang wanted, and grabbed his son in his own hands, and was afraid that he would not sell his life. "Go back quickly, lest any one else see it, and you may produce right and wrong." In front of people, we still have to distance ourselves a little. ”
"Understood, understood." Sun was busy saying goodbye as he walked.
Li Yi stood in place, waiting for Sun Ledger to go away before he slowly paced down. What did this Niu Ba say in front of the old lady? The old lady actually stopped me from going. Isn't Li Donglin busy repairing the kitchen? I want him to go. Niu Ba, you stinky boy! There is a day when you cry.
Li Yi walked down, but saw Lai Xi and others gathered in a corner of the cemetery, and he didn't know what he was looking at, so he hurriedly walked over.
"What? Do? Fake death! Everyone heard that the voice was Li Yi's, and they dispersed in a hurry.
When everyone dispersed, he found that it was Niu Ba, and that kid was directing a sturdy silly boy to build a shed.
