"What is going on, old lady?

Why are you going to sell these things? ”

Steward Yu couldn't help but be surprised.

I haven't heard anything happened to the Zhen family recently, why is it suddenly about to sell property, could it be that the second master came over today to ask for silver?

At this moment, Steward Yu made up a lot of things in his mind, and he almost didn't write an article.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't.

Let's move a chair here, and you can take someone to take an inventory of the storeroom, and I'll watch from the sidelines.

If you order something, just tell me your name, and I'll decide if I want to sell it.

Okay, go for it. ”

Qiao Mu really thinks that there is no need to keep so many things at home, and some things may be kept in the warehouse for decades, and they may not even be used when they raid the house, so why keep such a very chicken thing?

It's better to sell it for money.

It's just a dead thing at home.

"The old slave has a lot of mouths, I'll go now."

With that, Steward Yu hurriedly walked out of the warehouse, greeted him, called all the people in charge of the warehouse, and began to count the warehouse.

There were ten people in total, and there was a little confusion when they first counted, and when two people reported the names of objects, they often overlapped together, but after a few minutes of running-in, these people figured out the rules, and the tone of the report was frustrated.

There were few mistakes along the way.

Qiao Mu listened carefully on the side, and held up a sign when she reported something she thought would be useful in the future.

It means that this thing is going to stay.

As for those who don't hold up signs, they will all be put aside, and they will be pawned and sold later.

Most of the things arbor is useless, like those golden toad ornaments, the statue of Guanyin, the Maitreya Buddha jade carving and the like, arbor really doesn't like to come, so she actually raises the sign very low frequency, and so on to count the things in the warehouse, and finally left only more than 200 pieces of fine antiques.

"Old lady, have you sold so much?"

Steward Yu looked at the small half of the warehouse cabinet that had been emptied, and couldn't help but ask in distress and surprise.

"It's all sold, but you don't need to sell it.

Put it over there first, and when the second child comes back in the evening, you bring him over and ask him to take all these things away, take them out and find a way to sell them.

Well, it's getting dark, and people are probably almost there, so let's get ready for dinner.

The dishes are light, and it is not suitable to eat big oil and meat at night, just get me a bowl of clear soup and noodles. ”

Qiao Mu said, and left the warehouse slowly on crutches, ready to go back to the bedroom to rest.

The original body is eighty-one this year, although the body is still quite healthy, but the arbor can not pay attention to maintenance, tired for most of the day, can not rest.

……

Jiangnan weaving house yamen

It occupies a huge area, and the palace of the emperor in the south of the Yangtze River is on the side, so the guards here are much stronger than the normal yamen.

Zhen Shijia also happened to send someone to re-count his private treasury at this time, and he had a little bit of his family property, and he was very distressed at the same time.

I feel sorry for these precious silver, and after a while, it won't be my own, and my heart is really like a knife.

"My lord, do you really want to listen to the old lady?

What about the six princes? ”

The movement of the inventory warehouse is not small, and Zhen Shijia's staff naturally quickly understood the reason.

He also asked very distressed and worried.

They have to send 100,000 taels of silver to the six princes every month to act as support, and if they return all the five million taels of silver at once now, then they will not be able to continue the supply of the princes unless they knock out the bones of some merchants.

has insisted on it for so long, if you suddenly cut off the confession now and offend the six princes, it will really be worth the loss, and by the way, you will die.

"The Sixth Prince's side is broken.

The mother said that she would write to my daughter in person, the saint is now in good health, I am afraid that I don't like the prince to fight for power, the current priority is to quickly return the money from the treasury, what the mother said is still reasonable, if the debt is not repaid, even if the creditor is embarrassed to say, he is very uncomfortable.

You send people to find a way to transport these things to all parts of Jiangnan and sell them through special channels.

Be sure to keep it a secret, you know?

The official doesn't want to be embarrassed enough to make the sale of his property known to everyone, and he doesn't want to leak the news before paying back the money, understand? ”

During the period of time when Zhen Shijia came back to count the treasury, he had actually been thinking and hesitating in his heart, thinking that so many things would not belong to him, and he couldn't wait to regret it on the spot, but because of this, with a little empathy, he could probably guess some of the emperor's thoughts and possible thoughts.

The hesitation in my heart naturally disappeared in an instant.

After the order, he saw that it was already a little late, so he hurriedly took off his official uniform, put on his regular clothes, and rushed to his mother, that is, the mansion of Mrs. Fengsheng.

Otherwise, some people may say that he is not filial.

……

The House of the Holy Lady

Qiao Mu sat in the main seat, her second son Zhen Shijia sat on the left, and other than that, there was no one, just the two of them and a table of dishes.

At this time, not only Qiao Mu's face was a little gloomy, but Zhen Shijia's face was the same, even if some things were not notified in advance and the time was not set in advance, it should not be impossible to remember.

Not even coming.

That's the case on my mother's birthday.

It's a pity......

There are not many children in this world who remember their mother's birthday, but there are few mothers who forget their children's birthdays.

Qiao Mu turned his head and raised his eyebrows and asked:

"You said you sent me here?

So, is this because they are unfilial and unwilling to come, or what's wrong, or is it that my birthday is not a big deal, so they won't come? ”

"Mother, there may be something.

I remember I sent someone to inform them that they were coming back today, what was going on? ”

Zhen Shijia was also a little confused, he sent someone to inform his children and grandchildren half a month ago, and also let people notify his third brother and sister-in-law's family.

Why is it all dark, and no one has come yet.

At this time, Steward Yu walked in, handed a large stack of gift slips to Qiao Mu, and whispered:

"Old lady, although you said that this birthday is only a family reunion, there are still many officials and wealthy businessmen who have sent birthday gifts, and they turned around and left directly after giving birthday gifts, only saying that they should be.

You see, what to do with these things? ”

These words almost added fuel to the fire.

Officials and wealthy businessmen who did not know each other remembered her birthday and sent some congratulatory gifts, but the sons, grandsons and great-grandchildren of the only relatives did not know about it.

If something really didn't come, then I would have sent someone over to deliver a letter or something, but there was no news, so it was silent.

I don't know if I'm coming or not.

I don't know if I should continue to wait.

Wait, I'm worried that I won't be able to wait for the future, and I'm even more angry, and it's not good if I don't wait to come back.

It doesn't make people angry and tangled.
