146 Reshuffle
The old lady's tone was cold: "Do you insist on moving out of the house too?" ”
Yao smiled lightly: "There are more than 100 people in Xiyuan, if they still live in the same mansion as Dongyuan, they will drag down the house." ”
Yu Qiao couldn't hold back anymore and smiled. "The second aunt is right, since the second aunt has made up her mind, grandmother will follow the second aunt."
Yao said: "Actually, I don't live far away, I can still move around often on weekdays, and my daughter-in-law will come to my mother-in-law every few days to say goodbye." ”
Yu Qiao stood up and said coldly: "Then please ask the second aunt to move quickly, I want to move into Xiyuan." ”
Yao wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words. And he got up, saluted, and withdrew.
Yu Qiao turned around and saw the old lady with a lot of tears coming down.
The Song Mansion has always been kind to the elders and filial piety to the younger generations. I suddenly felt the coldness of family affection, and I couldn't help but feel sad from it.
Yu Qiao was calm and knelt down in front of the old lady: "Grandmother, don't worry, the granddaughter has been entrusted by the grandmother." There are a few things to report to my grandmother. First, the granddaughter and Brother Mo moved into the West Garden, so as not to make the West Garden look deserted. Second, the granddaughter will ask the wives, aunts, brothers and sisters in the house to take out the things they have saved privately over the years to temporarily support their usual expenses. Third, if the subordinates in the house want to stay, if they can trust me, all the wages will be recorded in the account, and the next day will be settled three times. Fourth, Forgu Xuan is the last shop left by his grandfather, and it will never be sold. Fifth, the treasure hall was taken back and renamed Fu Gu Xuan, and it continued to operate as usual, and two-thirds of the profits were given to the king of Qi, and one-third was used to support his family. ”
The old lady's eyes lit up and asked, "What else?" ”
"The furnishings in the house can be exchanged for silver money, and they are not of great use except for being good-looking. In the future, when you have money, it's not too late to buy more. We can save a little, the two brothers' studies can't be delayed, everything is important to them. ”
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Erniang has never been assertive, and her body is not good now, so I have to ask Hao Langzhong to use good medicine to protect her." The little lady can master the trivial matters in the house, she is shrewd and knows how to measure. ”
I thought about it again: "I will instruct me that my grandfather's help will not be accepted again, and the Song family will not owe it again." ”
After speaking, he smiled shyly: "My granddaughter will think of these things for the time being, and my grandmother needs to mention more." With you, the sky won't fall. ”
The old lady said softly, "Very good." Go back, think about it again, and I'll think about it too. ”
Farewell to the old lady, passing by the front yard, I saw Xiyuan moving things with everyone.
I wanted to take a detour, but the second aunt Zhong came over.
His eyes were full of sadness, but he didn't say anything about those comforting scenes, and said in a low voice: "The valuables in my courtyard have not been touched, and there are still some things in the mezzanine of the cabinet in my room. ”
Yu Qiao bowed slightly.
She added, "The third and fourth aunts also left some things in the box. I wanted to say goodbye to the old lady, but after a while, I would wait for the old lady to be healthy before kowtowing. ”
Yu Qiao nodded again. The two looked at each other for a moment, speechless.
Back in the courtyard, Watson was still standing at the gate of the courtyard, as if he had been standing like this and waiting for her. said to Cui'er: "Tell Wen'er Wen'er to pack up her things, and we will move to Xiyuan at night." ”
Then he walked over to the swing and sat down, and said softly, "You come and sit too." ”
Watson walked over and sat down beside her.
She asked softly, "Does the wound still hurt badly?" ”
He didn't dare to look at her, his eyes staring ahead, the corners of his lips holding back sadness.
She whispered softly, "I don't blame you, don't blame yourself anymore." I'll take you to live in the West Garden, which is spacious. ”
He was taken aback.
Yu Qiao told him everything, and he didn't hide it all. At the end, he said: "The house is in trouble, but I can't bear to drive away all the servants of the household, so let those who are willing to stay and share the joys and sorrows will stay, and those who are willing to leave will be given the deed of sale and silver." I know that you and Cui'er won't leave. ”
Naturally, he won't leave, even if he can't get a penny again.
Her side face is so good-looking, so strong, and so sad.
"In the future, you and Cui'er will have to help me a little more. I always said that I wanted you to be happy with me, but I didn't expect you to suffer with me. ”
He was silent for a long time and asked, "Is there really no silver money from the old lady?" ”
When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the old lady refuses to use those belongings?
Or does the Song Mansion not have that treasure map at all?
If not, how can I forgive myself for what I have done in the past few years?
Yu Qiao pondered, and suddenly spoke: "It turns out that someone caused me to fall into the water because I knew the promise signed by my grandfather and my grandfather. ”
Watson turned his head to look at her.
She muttered: "If there are people in the house who think about the family business, they naturally don't want to leave me in the world. It's just that Erniang is not the scheming character, the little lady was born as a slave, born in poverty, and seeing prosperity, she has that kind of desire. ”
Watson clenched his hands tightly.
She continued: "Actually, Xiyuan's second aunt is not necessarily. Her temperament, if she knew that the family business of the Song Mansion was going to fall on a woman's head, she would definitely be unwilling in her heart. Now that he saw that the Song Mansion had fallen, he immediately avoided it, for fear that the second uncle would take care of this family. ”
After that, he turned his head to look at Watson and asked again, "Does your chest really hurt badly?" ”
He smiled warmly at her this time, gently grabbed her wrist, asked her to put the palm of his hand against his chest, and whispered, "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”
Yu Qiao also smiled gently, then stood up and called, "Cui'er, come here." ”
Cui'er trotted out of the house and asked, "What's wrong with Miss?" ”
Yu Qiao instructed: "You lead Wen'er to the various courtyards to spread the word, and you don't need to gather all the big guys in one place." It is only said that the government will not pay wages on time from next month, and it is just a note that will be settled three times in the future. If you are willing to stay, you will stay, and if you are not willing to stay, you will go to the Tao steward to get a deed of sale and receive another hundred taels of silver, and leave secretly. ”
When Cui'er heard this, her eyes turned red, and she hurriedly knelt down and said, "Miss, I won't leave." ”
Yu Qiao said angrily: "I didn't drive you away, I just ......"
"Miss don't say it, my salary is recorded in the account."
Suddenly, he got up suddenly, dragged Wen'er and Wen'er over, and said urgently: "You guys quickly kneel down and promise Miss, stay and serve Miss." ”
Wen'er Wen'er knelt down and said in unison: "When the family was in trouble, it was the Song Mansion that took the silver money to help, and the two of us will not leave." ”
Yu Qiao pulled the two of them up and got up: "You three go and spread the word." ”
When they left, the courtyard was unusually quiet and deserted. The sun was shining in May, but it couldn't sweep away the haze in her eyes.
I went to the cafeteria to eat in the evening, but the family arrived. The dishes on the table are simple, but they are also delicious, presumably the grandmother arranged according to the old lady's words, and everything is mainly frugal.
