Chapter 028: Questioning Steward Li

Li Ya helped Song Jin up from the ground, sat on the bamboo chair next to him, and looked at Song Jin carefully with her big eyes.

She has grown so big, and she has never seen such a good-looking sister, is this sister in front of her here to discuss things with her father?

The little girl thought to herself, but she didn't dare to speak. returned to Steward Li's side, took the pine nut candy handed by Steward Li, and jumped out of the house.

Sure enough, no matter what era it is, the lethality of sugar to the little girl is still very great.

After watching Steward Li coax her daughter out with a piece of pine nut candy, Song Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief, she finally didn't have to see such a disobedient scene again.

The Li steward in front of you, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like a father.

It's obvious that a person who can't take care of himself can't take care of himself, how to take care of his daughter.

Song Jin stopped in time, didn't think about it, took a sip of the tea handed over by the little servant, his face gradually eased, and asked Steward Li who was sitting on the high seat.

"Dare to ask Steward Li, the booklet in the shop, I heard from the little guy, you sent someone to write it. I don't know what Steward Li had in mind to make such a booklet?"

Song Jin's words seem to be nothing on the surface, but in fact, she is the Li steward in front of the temptation.

Obviously, that booklet is similar in nature to the shopping guide in modern society. She wondered, how could such a feudal and backward Ming Dynasty have such a booklet?

Unless there are people who, like her, have also crossed over from modern society. informed Steward Li and made such a booklet, so that the business of Silk Village has been booming all these years.

Or, the Li steward in front of her, like her, is a modern person who has traveled over.

Steward Li looked at Song Jin, smiled faintly on his face, and said.

The girl asked what this was for? Isn't it the girl who wants to ask the villain for something?"

In order not to make Steward Li suspicious, Song Jin smiled a few times and replied in a joking tone.

"Steward Li laughed, I asked what this can do, what can I probe? It's just that I saw that there was something new in that booklet, and I wanted to ask. ”

"I don't know if Steward Li is in charge, would you like to answer my question?"

Song Jin's words fell, and his eyes fell on Steward Li in front of him.

Steward Li only smiled and did not speak, obviously unwilling to answer her question.

The more Steward Li reacted like this, the more Song Jin became more and more curious about the Steward Li in front of him.

He said that he had a strange disease, and his appearance, voice, and body stagnated until he was seventeen years old, so how did he marry her and give birth to a daughter?

Also, since Steward Li said that he was married, what about his wife?

Song Jin was already curious in his heart, and he dared to ask Steward Li in front of him.

"Steward Li, dare to ask where Mrs. Zun is now?"

"You have to run the shop and take care of your daughter on weekdays, how can you be busy?"

Steward Li seemed to have sensed something from Song Jin's words, so he simply didn't hide it from her, and replied directly.

"Girl, the villain's wife is now in the countryside, and there are still a few acres of fertile land at home, and her parents and parents, and the wife serves her parents at home, cultivating a few acres of fertile land, and only during the New Year's holidays, she will bring her parents into the city."

After explaining, Manager Li raised his head, looked at Song Jin with a calm face in front of him, and said.

"The girl has met the villain's wife? I wonder what the girl is looking for a villain's wife?"

Forehead......

Song Jin was speechless for a while, obviously she asked Steward Li, why did it become Steward Li to ask her now, how should she reply?

Song Jin still told the truth, she forgave that Li in charge, and she didn't dare to do anything to her.

"Steward Li, I'm just curious to ask, I haven't met Mrs. Zun, and I don't know each other."

"It's just that seeing that Steward Li is so young, presumably Mrs. Zun is also very young, right?"

As if hearing Song Jin's praise, the little girl didn't know where to get out again, holding the piece of pine nut candy stained with saliva in her hand, obviously the little girl just put the piece of pine nut candy in her mouth and ate it.

"Good-looking sister, my mother is very beautiful, even more beautiful than good-looking sister. It's just that my mother has been staying in the countryside, and my father is also busy, I haven't seen my mother for three months, good-looking sister, can you take me to see my mother? ”

The little girl's thin arms like lotus roots pulled Song Jin's clothes, and there seemed to be saliva on her little hands, which she put on Song Jin's clothes and wiped them again.

Song Jin looked at her clothes, which were ruined in the hands of a little girl, she could only sigh, and she didn't have to say anything.

Li Ya is just a little girl, she is an adult, if she is scheming with a little girl, it seems that she is bullying the small, and she is very worthless.

Let Bai He take out the hand towel he was carrying, Song Jin wiped Li Yazai's hands carefully, and then took Li Ya's little hand like a lotus root and walked to Steward Li's side.

"Steward Li, what the girl said is true? She hadn't seen her mother for three months. ”

Song Jin changed his expression, took out the spirit of the young owner, and questioned Steward Li in front of him.

Hearing Song Jin talk about the little girl's mother, Steward Li's eyes became dodgy, and he didn't dare to look directly at Song Jin in front of him, but looking at Song Jin's solemn appearance, he didn't have to continue to avoid it, so he had to say.

"Girl, what my daughter said is true, she hasn't seen her mother for three months."

"These days, the uncle of the Zhao family is in a hurry, I am busy all day long, so I neglected this matter, I originally thought that after being busy for a while, I would take my daughter back to the countryside to live for a while, but this busyness is three months."

What Steward Li said was true, for fear that Song Jin would not believe it, so he hurriedly asked the little guy to take out all the account books of the past few months and show them to Song Jin for inspection.

After flipping through a few pages of account books, Song Jincai believed that what Steward Li had just said was indeed true.

In the past few months, there has been a lot of money on the books of the silk village, most of which is the cost of purchasing raw materials, cotton, silk and so on.

It's just that the silk village has ordered so many raw materials in the past few months, what is it difficult for the silk village to take over any big order?

Just as Song Jin was about to ask, Steward Li replied.

"Girl, it's not a secret, the reason why the silk village has ordered so many raw materials in the past few months is because it is about to take over the big order of the palace Shangyi Bureau, and in another month, it will be the crowning ceremony of the emperor's grandson, as well as the canonization ceremony of the grandson's concubine."

"The Shangyi Bureau is not manpowered, and it can't produce so many auspicious dresses for a while, so it will separate the auspicious dresses worn by the hundreds of officials who will watch the ceremony at that time and hand them over to some big silk and satin shops outside the palace to do it."

"Because the eldest girl is Lord Shangyi, who is in charge of the Sixth Bureau and the First Division, she has secretly booked our family's silk village and ready-to-wear store to complete the order of the Shangyi Bureau in the palace."

"The auspicious clothes of the grandson and the concubine are made in the Shangyi Bureau in the palace, and this dress is completed independently by the silk and satin villages outside the palace, and the embroidery workshop is even independent, and finally handed over to the female officials of the Shangyi Bureau for verification."

actually took the list in the palace in advance?

My mother and sister can hand over such a big thing to Steward Li in front of him, it seems that in addition to being good-looking and young, he still has some ability!

If you can take such a general under your command, you can do things in the future, and you can be handy.

But before that, she still had to let Li take charge of things and take her daughter to the countryside to see her parents and wife.

If other people's families are harmonious, they can help themselves to do things, and they can also have less worries.

"Steward Li, it's not that I'm talking about you, your top priority now is not to prepare any dresses for the grandson, grandson, concubine, and concubine, but to take your daughter to the countryside to live for a few days to see Lingtang Lingzun and Mrs. Zun."

"The little girl is always thinking about her mother, and it's not a solution, do you think I'm talking about it?"

Steward Li nodded, didn't dare to raise his head, and said continuously.

"Yes, yes, the girl is right, it was the villain's negligence. The villain must have taken leave from his wife, and took his daughter to the countryside to live for a few days, so that she could accompany his wife well. ”

Song Jin was worried about the Li steward in front of him, but he was just in front of himself, planning to be perfunctory, and he didn't plan to take his daughter to the countryside afterwards.

In this way, she said so much today, which is equivalent to saying it in vain. Song Jin thought about it in his heart, or said.

"Steward Li doesn't have to go to the house to say leave to his wife, when I go back to the house, just send someone to help you speak, and today you will take your daughter and go to the countryside to live for a few days."

Seeing Song Jin say this, even if Steward Li still had something to say in his heart, he finally had nothing to say.

Out of the silk village, Song Jin still wanted to go to He Zhong's white silk workshop to have a look, so he asked Steward Li to prepare a carriage and sent them to the end of the street.

When he arrived at the end of the street, Song Jin found that the door of the White Silk Workshop was closed, could it be that today was the day when the White Silk Workshop was closed?

But she walked all the way and found that the shops around her were still open, and no one hung up the sign at the gate of Bai Juanfang. went to a shop selling incense paper candles next door to Bai Juanfang, and Song Jin asked the shopkeeper who was entertaining guests at this time, "Shopkeeper, why is the white silk next door not open today, could it be that something happened?"

The owner of the incense candle shop looked at Song Jin carefully, and said in an extremely scathing tone.

"Looking at the girl's good dress, could it be He Zhong's concubine next door?"

What the heck?

Concubine?

Does this pockmarked old woman know what she's talking about?

Song Jin viciously replied to her with a knife in the eyes, and asked again coldly.

"Shopkeeper, what happened to He Zhong next door? Where did the shopkeeper find out, I am He Zhong's concubine?"

Seeing Song Jin glaring at her viciously, a pair of eyes like knives were changing on her face, and the owner of the incense candle shop was timid, so he had to honestly reply to Song Jin.

"The girl doesn't know, the one next door is He Zhong! But I hooked up with the maid of the Duke of Xu's house, I lost my wife, and pulled a daughter, I thought he was infatuated and a poor person, but I didn't expect to hook up with the maid of the Duke of Xu's mansion. ”

"Today, the maid died in front of their shop, He Zhong reported to the official himself, and he has been taken away by the people of the yamen."

From her afterthoughts, Song Jin got a few key words, Xu Guogongfu, maid.

Isn't it that Xu Hui from the Xu Guo Mansion, who still holds a grudge against the last time, and came to take revenge this time?
