Chapter 58: Drunkenness
After dinner, Lin Yanyan and his brother went to visit their grandmother at the Church of Grace.
Grandmother is no longer in serious trouble, but after all, she vomited blood, and she still has to recuperate for a few days.
After saying a few words with her grandmother, seeing her grandmother's expression, Lin Yanyan got up and said goodbye.
After that, Lin Jingyuan went back to Moyuan Pavilion to read, and Lin Yanyan went to Hancui Pavilion.
"Yan Yan, you can be regarded as coming, if you don't come again, I will go to Moyuan Pavilion to find you again." Zhou sent all his subordinates out and pulled Lin Yanyan to sit down.
"The third aunt is looking for me?"
Zhou sighed heavily: "I always envied the boss when I wasn't in charge before, but now I know how difficult it is to be in charge, especially now, a mess of me, which makes me anxious." ”
Lin Yanyan, the third aunt spoke very truthfully, and ordinary people would definitely say it...... Oh, I really don't want to be in charge, how good it is to enjoy Qingfu! I'm also reluctant to do it.
"If the third aunt is not used by people, she can change a batch." Once the son of heaven and a courtier, it doesn't hurt to keep the obedient and capable, those who rely on the old to sell the old and hide from the old or still have the old master in their hearts, and they are replaced.
"It's not a problem of manpower, I've rectified a batch today, the key is still the problem of silver, guess how much silver is left in the account now?"
Lin Yanyan shook his head: "I can't guess." ”
You don't have to guess to know that there must not be much silver in the account, it was all spent by the Yao family to her mother's house, and there is also a million taels of Yinzi money, if there is money, the Yao family will not let Liu's mother take the antiques.
Zhou said angrily: "There are only 16,346 taels left in total, and the old lady also handed over Zhen Zhen's marriage to me to handle, and said that the scenery to be done is decent, just this more than 16,000 taels of silver, how can I do the scenery decently?" At that time, please have fifty or sixty tables for less wine! According to the current market, the status of the Hou Mansion, a table is at least one hundred and fifty taels, plus the cost of inviting the chef, the silver reward, and the silver of the payi, this will cost tens of thousands of taels, not counting the dowry! ”
"The dowry should always be prepared by yourself in the second room!"
"The problem is that the second room has not prepared anything, not even the wedding dress, your second aunt said, she has a little jewelry left in hand, and she can't give it all to Zhen Zhen, she has to leave some for Peng Peng, she is now a broken jar, she doesn't care about anything, she knows that the Hou Mansion can't treat her daughter badly if she wants to be decent."
Zhou gritted his teeth angrily: "Everyone has to be decent, but no one cares, do you want me to pay money to marry someone else's daughter?" ”
"That can't be, Sister Xuan is already married, and the marriage is coming soon, so you must take care of Sister Xuan first."
Zhou was discouraged: "I really don't know what to do now, so I discussed with you, Yan Yan, the third aunt can see that you are a person with ideas, you can help the third aunt think of a way." ”
Lin Yanyan figured out what the third aunt meant, she didn't want her to pay, she definitely wouldn't give out this money, and she wouldn't borrow it, so she said: "Zhen Zhen is the daughter of the second room after all, and the cost of this marriage should come out of the second room, the second aunt doesn't care, you just find my second uncle, show him the account, and ask him what to do with the shortfall of money, if he doesn't care, you just say that you go to Yao's house to ask for it, otherwise not only will the marriage not be done, but the whole family will not even be able to live." The second uncle is a face-saving person, and he will find a way to solve it. ”
Zhou's heart was moved and embarrassed: "Wouldn't this be good?" ”
The Yao clan has completely collapsed, but Lin Zhongkun is already the backbone of the Hou Mansion, and the Zhou clan does not dare to challenge authority.
"If you can't pull this face, I can't help it, or you can post money for Zhen Zhen to do the marriage, third aunt, you have to be more spicy in charge, otherwise you can't control it."
Zhou hesitated again and again: "Okay, I'll go to your second uncle later." ”
"There is one more thing, tomorrow the Jinguo Mansion will come to hire, will you be at home?" Zhou knew that this request was a little inappropriate, but it was the first time she was in charge, and when she encountered such a major event, there was only one Yan Yan around her who could help her, so she could only speak cheekily.
Lin Yanyan: "Third aunt, if I'm here, I'm afraid that the people from the Guogong Mansion will be embarrassed!" If you need manpower, I can ask Mama Li to come over and help, Mama Li has been with my grandmother all these years and is someone who has seen a lot of big scenes. ”
She understands the difficulties of the third aunt, but she will not embarrass herself because of the difficulties of others.
Zhou sighed: "Then trouble Mama Li to help." ”
Xiao Qian's humble mansion, in a small back garden.
Lu Zhaonan hugged the wine jar, his eyes were slightly drunk, and he pointed to the wall with his tongue open: "Listen...... I heard that it was haunted a few days ago, and you ...... Have you seen a ghost? ”
Xiao Qian leisurely tasted the new tea before the rain that Feng Ling had just bought: "The wind comes out of nowhere, where are the ghosts in this world, the ghosts are all in people's hearts." ”
Lu Zhaonan shook his head: "You...... Don't believe in ghosts and gods, there are many mysterious things in this world, I advise you to sell this house quickly and change it to a bigger one, the money is not enough, I have it. ”
Xiao Qian looked at the wall, and there was an indescribable emotion in his deep eyes: "Thank you, I think it's good to live here, if there is really a female ghost who comes to the door, I will invite her to have a drink under the moon." ”
If Tao Siyu's ghost came to him, he couldn't ask for it.
Lu Zhaonan laughed: "Do you envy the scholars in "Ghost Fox Chronicles", and you also want to have an affair?" ”
Xiao Qian glanced at him: "I'm not as idle as you, don't drink any more after you drink this jar of wine, you have drunk all the wine in my house." ”
Lu Zhaonan rolled his arrogant eyes: "Stingy." ”
The wind blew, and the shadow of a ginkgo tree by the fence swayed and rattled, and something jumped out of the shadow of the tree and disappeared in a flash.
happened to be seen by Lu Zhaonan, Lu Zhaonan shouted excitedly: "Ghost, I saw a ghost, Xiao Qian, you wait, I'll go and catch the ghost for you, and let her drink with you......"
Lu Zhaonan carried the wine jug and staggered towards the wall.
"Watch out for the pond." As soon as Xiao Qian's words fell, he heard a pop, and Lu Zhaonan had already plunged into a small pond.
Xiao Qian covered his eyes, this unlucky ghost.
"What the hell is going on?" Lu Zhaonan fluttered a few times and stood in the pool, with a few aquatic plants on his head, looking for a female ghost in the pool.
"Come up."
"No, I'm going to help you catch ghosts." Lu Zhaonan began to get drunk and went crazy and groped in the pool.
Xiao Qian sighed helplessly and went down to fish for people.
"Don't pull me, I haven't found the ghost ...... yet"
"The ghost was scared away by you."
"Scared away? No, I'm so handsome......"
"Because the ghost found out that there was another unlucky ghost here, she didn't want to be unlucky and ran away."
Lu Zhaonan pointed at Xiao Qian and smirked: "I know, this unlucky ghost is you." ”
Xiao Qian has lost his temper, who can still deal with a drunkard?
"Yes, yes, I'm an unlucky ghost, I shouldn't have taken you in, and I have to go into the water to catch people at night."
Xiao Qian helped the person into the house, put him on the bed, and ordered Feng Ling to get a clean set of clothes and take off Lu Zhaonan's clothes by himself.
"Don't pick my clothes, I warn you, whoever dares to pick up the master's clothes, when my brother comes, he will definitely pick your skin......" Lu Zhaonan said drunkenly nonsense.
Xiao Qian: "Don't make trouble, be careful to catch a cold later." ”
After Zhou Datong went home, he thought that Lu Zhaonan and Xiao Qian were drinking a little wine comfortably at this time, so he couldn't sit still, and sneaked out, and when he entered the house, he saw Xiao Qian riding on Lu Zhaonan and pulling Lu Zhaonan's clothes.
Zhou Datong was messy in the wind, turned around and ran.
What did he see? Will there be a needle's eye tomorrow?
