Chapter 133: Important Witnesses Driven Away
The woman was richly dressed, her face was greased and powdered, she held a handkerchief in her hand, and her tone was impatient. She stood in the doorway, looking at the two of them with contempt.
Jia Ding laughed and said, "There are two more people who claim to be the miscellaneous servants of Fumanlou." The reason used here is not to ask for silver, but to report to the owner. What do you want to report to a mere handyman? ”
Tang and Rou looked at the servant woman's brocade clothes, guessing her identity in their hearts, and worried that there would really be a misunderstanding, so they hid their displeasure and calmly stated: "The owner asked us to come to her, please let me know." ”
They all said that they would not hit the smiling person, but the servant woman was scared, "The owner still asked you to come to her?" What are you? The miscellaneous servants of Fumanlou? ”
She looked at Xiaoba and sneered, "I can recognize the faces of all the handymen clearly, you are so young, your eyes are dull, you don't know how to work at a glance, even if you have any work, the owner will not take a fancy to you!" Let's just say it, under the pretext of looking for the owner, are you here to ask for money? Or did you hear the beggar just say that we just boiled peanuts and want to take a bite of them? ”
What's the matter with peanuts?
There are a lot of peanuts in the field in autumn, and the ditch on the edge of the field will also grow, but the spice formula is wrong, and the boiled water is light and tasteless. When she has enough spices for the coming year, she can simply occupy the good place of the steamed cake stall and plant a banner to call herself the king of peanuts!
Tang and Rou held back their anger and said, "You misunderstood, we came to talk to Boss Liu, you just report to Boss Liu!" ”
Zhou Boniang swept the coarse linen clothes worn by the two of them contemptuously, and said, "My owner is with others?" The most powerful female businessman in the trading house, who are the people who do business with her? Those are rich businessmen with money! You two little things that don't have any hair and want to do business with my owner? You two don't have long eyes, why don't you send it off soon? It's really, early in the morning, why did you come here with so many little scraps, and all the wealth at this door has been lost by you. ”
Jia Ding laughed and urged Tang and Rouhe Xiaoba to hurry up.
"Little chops?" Tang and Rou sneered and repeated, stepped forward, and stared at the servant, "What's wrong with our coarse linen?" Could it be that coarse linen is a beggar?! Do you really look down on us farmers?! ”
Zhou Boniang faced her questioning, turned around in surprise, and scolded: "What is the difference between that kind of mud leg and a beggar?" Come to work in the county town and ask the owner to beg for work, isn't that still a beggar? Where does Fumanlou need to support so many people? It's all the kindness of our owners, so they took in these farmers! Look at all of you, who have hands and feet, don't take advantage of the harvest year to do farm work, and come here to ask the owner for money, do you know any shame? ”
Tang and Rou were speechless.
It's inexplicable! She didn't say that she wanted to ask for anything from beginning to end, she just wanted to report to Liu Jia normally. Isn't that because there are too many people in the Fuman Building, it is not good to be heard? She shouldn't have kept this a secret!
At first, she thought that this woman was a relative of Liu Jia, but when she heard that she called Liu Jia the owner, it meant that she was just a servant.
This Diao slave didn't even listen to them, and insisted on thinking that they were beggars, and it was useless to explain them.
Tang and Rou said, "What are you?" Wearing a brocade coat, do you really think you are the master?! ”
Zhou Boniang scolded: "I am at least from the Liu Mansion, unlike you, who is so young, how can the owner bear to let you work?" Are you trying to take advantage of the owner's kindness to cheat you into eating and drinking? ”
Tang Yourou sneered: "It's really a dog's eyes that look down on people!" You say that we are beggars in coarse linen, then why don't you say that your boss wears men's clothes all day long, and he is a man? ”
Zhou Boniang was shocked: "You, how dare you say that?" ”
Tang and Rou: "Why don't I dare?" I'm not a handyman in Fumanlou! The deed of sale is not on your owner, can she still tie me up? ”
Xiaoba gently tugged at Tang and Rou's clothes: "Don't say it." ”
Tang and Rou said angrily: "Don't pull me! Originally, can clothes and appearance measure a person's worth? If that's what you think of us, don't you think the same way about your host?! Do you think that when she scolds, she is majestic and not a woman enough, and she doesn't abide by women's morals?! ”
The two housekeepers almost choked on peanuts and looked at the servant.
As soon as these words came out, the servant's face changed, and she turned pale, "What nonsense are you talking about?" How could I possibly think that?! What's going on with this Kanto family? ”
She noticed that the family was looking at her, and bowed her head and reprimanded, "What are you looking at? Keep your doors guarded! I didn't think so...... The owner and the owner are naturally different! ”
Tang Yourou said loudly: "Then don't stop us, hurry up and report to the owner, we have something to find her!" ”
Zhou Boniang glared at her angrily and shouted, "The owner is not here!" He retreated into the house and closed the big bronze door shut.
The two family members were locked out of the door by her, and even the peanuts in their hands were not fragrant.
Xiaoba was helpless: "Sister Rou, she won't let us in." ”
Tang and Rou poked their foreheads.
There was a quarrel early in the morning, I really don't know if this servant woman is in menopause, why is it inexplicable?
But it's useless to win this quarrel, people are people in the house, and if they are not allowed to enter, they are not allowed. No matter how bold this servant woman is, she will not dare to spread false information and prevent them from meeting the owner.
It seems that Liu Jia is indeed not there.
"Let's go and wait. I made an appointment to come to the Willow Mansion at this time, there must be something else delayed. ”
Tang and Rou saw that there was a big tree at the entrance of the willow house, so they sat under the tree with Xiaoba and waited.
After a while, the carriage drove to the door of the willow house.
Liu Jia was wearing sassy men's clothes, jumped out of the car, and ran towards the house in the dust, but saw the big bronze door tightly closed, and shouted: "What door is closed in broad daylight?!" Ayu, has Niu Er ever been here? ”
She did not enter the door, but called for the servant woman to come out.
The servant woman came out from behind the door with a bowl of peanuts in her hand, and smiled when she saw Liu Jia: "Boss, come and try these freshly cooked peanuts, they taste good." ”
"It's all burning buttocks, where are you in the mood to eat Shilaozi peanuts? What about Niu Er? I heard that he was about to enter the city, and he should have come back to me! ”
"Niu Er...... Who is Niu Er? Zhou Boniang, who claimed to recognize all the miscellaneous servants in the Fuman Building, looked surprised and asked Liu Jia rhetorically.
Liu Jia was furious, "Didn't you remember the faces of everyone in Fumanlou, the wine shop, and the winery?" You're asking me who Niu Er is?! She breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed the anger in her heart, and asked, "Has a ragged person ever been here and may have been injured?!" He is a handyman of Fumanlou! ”
"This ...... I ......" Zhou Yu staggered, his feet a little weak.
There are so many people in the Liu family's industry, how can she recognize it? This Niu Er not only came, but was also driven away by her as a beggar.
The two housekeepers at the door were looking at her frantically, telling her not to say it. As long as these three calibers unanimously say that they have not seen them, then the owner will not pour out his anger on them.
Although the owner is beautiful and kind-hearted, he has a bad temper! If she knew that they judged people by their appearance and delayed their business, how would they be treated?
"Is Niu Er lame and has to use a branch to carry it?" A crisp voice sounded behind Liu Jia.
Liu Jia looked back and saw that Tang and Rou were squatting on the ground, looking at the footprints on the ground.
