did not show a look of great compassion during the banquet, there was an old lady, and no one wanted to make her feel sad.

Steward Tao replied in a low voice: "Old lady, there were originally one hundred and twenty-six people in the house, thirty family members, thirty maids, thirty mothers-in-law, thirty rough servants, five guys in the store, and just enough old slaves." ”

"At present, the seventeen people who have been killed are all family members, and on that day they went from house to house to distribute pensions, and everything was according to the old lady's words, and all the money was distributed to every household, so that there was no silver in the account."

"In the morning, the third lady has already sent people to spread the word everywhere, and the rest of the people are willing to leave and leave to their own discretion. In the afternoon, seventy-six people came to collect the deed of sale, and each of them sealed two hundred taels of silver. ”

"After all, there are thirty-three people who stay in the house now."

After hearing this, the old lady said calmly: "Enough, I am relieved that I can still leave thirty-three people." These thirty-three people, except for you, each courtyard is divided into one point, I am old, it is enough to leave my grandmother and two girls. ”

Yu Qiao said: "I have Watson, Cui'er, Wen'er and Wen'er, and that's enough." ”

The old lady put down the chopsticks, and the rest of the people also put down the dishes and chopsticks.

The old lady said: "Xiyuan moved out and vacated, Qiao Yatou will bring her subordinates to live in tonight, and where people live, there will be life." A house that is popular will have yang. ”

"Yes."

"This morning, I have handed over all the affairs in the house to Qiao Yatou to take care of, and in the future, all the personnel in the house will listen to her dispatch, do you have any opinions?"

Wang's thoughts were already discouraged, and he said in a low voice: "I listen to my mother-in-law, it's just a mess." ”

Yu Qiao got up, bowed to Li Xiaoniang, and said, "In the future, I will assign the trivial matters in this house to Li Xiaoniang, and Uncle Tao will help you take care of it together." ”

Li Xiaoniang responded happily: "Zuo is just some ordinary trivial things to eat and wear, Miss Qiao can rest assured." ”

Yes, there is nothing to fight for now, and the family is struggling to survive.

Yu Qiao bowed to Song Mingqing again: "I'm afraid that the house can't afford to hire a teacher this year, and I also asked Aunt Qing to serve as the gentleman of the private school, and teach me and Sister Zhu'er to read, play the piano and write, play chess, cook tea and arrange flowers." ”

Song Mingqing just nodded, for fear that he would not be able to hold back his tears when he spoke.

Yu Qiao said to Steward Tao: "Yu Qiao has something to ask Uncle Tao, can Fu Guxuan close the door?" ”

Steward Tao replied: "The day after the master went, the shopkeeper took a few men to the treasure hall, and the door was closed during the mourning period. Until yesterday, I sent my son, Tao Ngawang, to guard the shop. Originally, he was taken by Lin Laohan to guard the forest farm on the West Mountain, and I summoned him back. ”

Yu Qiao searched in the memory of the original owner.

Steward Tao followed Song Zhaoting to help when he was young, and later, under the arrangement of the old lady, he married the old lady's personal maid and gave birth to Tao Awang.

Although the three members of the Tao family are foreign surnames, they have lived together for decades, and they are the same as the Song family.

Ngawang was born well-behaved when he was young, and he knew how to help with things since he was a child. It's older than the children in the house, but it's a bit like an eldest brother.

Now he should be in his twenties, and he has not yet married.

The old lady said to Yu Qiao: "Your grandfather went early, and he didn't have time to buy some farms for his children and grandchildren, and I insisted on buying the mountain forest in Xishan, in order to leave a good place for the old man of the Song family." ”

There is a mansion in life, and there is a burial place in death. This may be the only wish of the old lady back then.

Steward Tao said: "The old lady can rest assured, there is still a courtyard there that still leaves Lin Laohan, he volunteered to go there to guard the mountains and forests and cemeteries, and repay the old lady for saving him." ”

The old lady nodded: "Remember to send grain and vegetables every once in a while, remember to send some wine, he has a good sip." ”

Yu Qiao instructed Steward Tao: "Uncle, send Wen'er and Wen'er from my courtyard to the Treasure Hall, and Brother Ngawang will be the chief of the shopkeeper." Having a woman to help with the cooking is always more thoughtful and comfortable. ”

"Tomorrow morning, I will pawn all the valuable ornaments in the courtyards and houses of the house, and use the money for domestic use."

This is a desperate move, and no one refutes it.

But Steward Tao was worried: "Although Ngawang is also diligent and capable, the old slave is afraid that he will not be able to do such a big errand as a shopkeeper." ”

Yu Qiao said softly: "The shopkeeper, what he wants is to be a real person, careful in his work, proper and credible, Brother Awang is suitable." In addition, Pai Shen'er followed Ah Wang, although the little girl was small, but she was very good at calculating accounts, and she could help Ah Wang's brother settle the accounts. ”

Steward Tao said, "Yes." The little girl has been with me for a while, and she is really a rare genius. ”

Yu Qiao said again: "Please ask Erniang Xiaoniang, if you have a selfish self, take it out and hand it over to Uncle Tao." The old man registered all the objects in the book one by one, and in the future, Jo'er returned them tenfold. ”

Wang said in a low voice: "It should be." It's just that I came from a humble background and didn't even have a dowry. Over the years, there are only a few silver taels and some jewelry, and I have nothing to be reluctant to. ”

Li Xiaoniang said with a smile: "I'm even more shabby, and I only have a few silver taels and some jewelry." ”

Raindrops have been clothed and fed since they were small, and it was not until this moment that they knew that everything could be lost in an instant. became more and more sad, and choked up: "I...... I don't have any silver, just some jewelry. ”

Life is either rich or poor, and if you don't go through this, how can you know the difficulties of life?

This is also the reason why Yu Qiao has not revealed that he has Jibaotang so far, and the truth can be seen in adversity, just so that the people in the house can be cleaned.

Yu Qiao said to Uncle Tao: "The expenses on weekdays are tighter, but only Brother Qing and Brother Mo are still using the same, and the two of them have the best and most intimate subordinates in the courtyard, pen, ink and paper, dietary supplements, and everything cannot be reduced." ”

"Yes."

As he was talking, Song Mingtu came in from outside the door, and "Puff" knelt down.

He went back to his house on duty and went to the West Garden to see that the building was already empty. Thinking of Yao's constant nagging to move out a few days ago, he immediately understood.

At this time, I can only kneel and plead guilty to the old lady.

When the old lady saw this situation, she understood that it was the Yao family who made the decision without authorization. The son he raised had a number in his heart, and said softly: "Get up and speak." ”

Song Mingtu was still kneeling, his eyes were wet: "My son is not filial, my son is going to let them all move back." ”

The old lady sighed: "I know it's not your idea, and the Yao family is just afraid of dragging you back, since you have moved away, there is no need to move back." You are busy on weekdays, you don't have to come here, there are fewer people and fewer things, and you are more relaxed. ”

Song Mingtu said sadly: "When the mother said this, the son was even more ashamed. The eldest brother has just passed away, and the son has left the old mother and the eldest brother's wife and concubines and children, so that the son still has what kind of face to face. ”
