Chapter 229: Selling Shops and Selling Dowries
The rain outside finally stopped a little.
"Madame, can you sleep?" Dongxue brought the milk soup and asked in a low voice.
Qiu Yue sighed and said, "After drinking the ginger soup and crying for a while, I finally fell asleep, let's put the milk soup on hold first." ”
Dongxue looked worriedly at the lady curled up on the collapse, her face was swollen from crying, Qiuyue took the face fat, and the two of them carefully applied her face with Dongxue.
"I always thought that the adult was the one who loved the lady the most in the world, but now that the lady is so wronged, I knew that it was better to be ......" Qiu Yue wiped her tears, hating and complaining.
"You should be quiet," Dong Xue glanced at her reproachfully, and said leisurely: "In the past, the eldest young master said that adults and ladies are both children's hearts, and this child will always grow up one day, but now it is a little harder, but it will be fine in the future." ”
"It's all to blame on that Qin Qingqing, if it weren't for the trouble, the adults and the lady would not have made a fuss to this point today, and I don't know what mean things the lady said when she went to the adult, which made the lady so sad and desperate." Qiu Yue snorted again.
Dong Xue looked outside, there was Yuan Fu, the little servant of the Yuan Mansion, looking for a letter, and the two of them didn't know what they were talking about. When she came back to her senses, she seemed to be talking to herself: "Then Qin Qingqing is actually not worried, Xin'er, this girl has always been very arrogant and careless, whether it was as she saw that day is especially known, and according to the temperament of an adult, if she really has a skin-to-skin relationship with that Qin Qingqing, how can she not give her a name?" ”
"What if you want to give her the title of wife?" Qiu Yue said coldly, that Qin Qingqing is an adult's childhood sweetheart and a life-saving benefactor, can this affection be compared to others?
Diancui is naturally so sad and aggrieved as Qiu Yue thought, Dongxue sighed, If Lord Youyoudao is so soft-hearted and grateful, he is not an adult.
Qiu Yue was stunned, and glanced at Dongxue with a smile, Dongxue knew that she was speechless, blushed and frowned, and took the milk to the small kitchen.
Dongxue walked out of the house, and Yuan Fu, who was talking to Xin'er outside, saw her, and hurriedly said Sister Dongxue with a smile, Dongxue glanced at him, and left with a blank face.
Yuan Fu knew that everyone didn't want to see him, because of the adults, these delicate maids also liked to inquire about the letter, and they gave themselves a good face, and the one next to them was as cold as ice.
"You said that the young master stayed in the Yuan Mansion to talk to the adults? Do you know what was said? Xin'er approached Yuan Fu again and asked in a low voice.
Yuan Fu cried and said with a sad face, then I have no way of knowing, in short, I beat Mrs. and said that my lord...... After that, the adult's face was very bad, and the young master was beaten out of his face with two black blue eyes, and he couldn't be happy to go there, but the adult drove our subordinates out, and we don't know what they were talking about.
"Okay, you go back first," Xin'er patted him on the shoulder, not forgetting to tell him: "Take good care of that Qin girl, she and the adults have any trouble, you must come and tell him quickly." ”
"Come on, girl, when will I not give you what you said?" Yuan Fu said flatteringly, Xin'er pouted proudly, let's go, let's go, don't be discovered by adults.
Yuan Fu smiled, adults won't be angry if they know, adults have to rely on him to inquire about the affairs of Mrs.
Du Xiaozhu looked at Yuan Fu's figure leaving with a dark face, and said This guy has too many eyes, you should stay away from him in the future.
Stay away from him, where can I ask about the adults, what do you know? Xin'er sneered.
In a word...... Stay away from him! This guy didn't have a good heart for you, Du Xiaozhu was a little anxious, and his face was slightly red. Xin'er looked at him like this, was stunned for a moment, then turned away with a smile and left.
She doesn't know Du Xiaozhu's thoughts, but she is not worthy of Du Xiaozhu, the surname Yin has ruined her life, and she can't marry again. Fortunately, Mrs. took her in, and she will not marry and serve Mrs. for the rest of her life.
Xin'er accepted the melancholy in her heart, entered the house, and immediately muttered two words in the ear of the eldest girl Qiu Yue, and Qiu Yue grew her mouth:
"What, madam, she really said that the adults are not clean...... "Qiu Yue's eyes widened and she covered her mouth.
In this world, only a man can stand on a high place and accuse a woman of not abiding by women's ways, where can a woman point to a man's nose and say that you are not clean if you have a skin-to-skin relationship with other women!
"That'...... After the lady said, isn't he, my lord? "According to the adult's temperament, it must be angry, Mrs. has always been well-behaved and obedient in front of him, this time he has made such a big character to run away from home, not to say, but also dare to "speak disrespectfully"......
Xin'er sighed, nodded and said: "The adults are angry, and they forget that they have married their wife, and they pointed to their wife's nose and called the rebel angry as a teacher, and when I heard Yuan Fu say that when I turned around and entered the house, I accidentally slipped and almost fell to the ground." ”
"In this way, our lady has not suffered a loss!" Qiu Yue's eyes lit up and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xin'er nodded vigorously and said: "Madame has not suffered a loss, crying like this should also be a strategy, so that although the adult is angry in his heart, he is reluctant to be angry with her again, so he only lets her come back." ”
Qiu Yue didn't seem to believe it or not, and only muttered that the lord was reluctant to be angry with his wife, so he left the young master to vent his anger.
Qiuyue Xin'er and the two glanced at each other, and they both sighed deeply, hoping that the adults would be lighter, the young master was the most beautiful man in the capital, and even women couldn't bear to damage his handsome face.
Diancui cried and slept all night, and woke up early the next morning, and was sick and didn't eat tea and dinner. Du Xiaozhu hurriedly came in and presented a letter, saying that he was from the capital. Diancui immediately cheered up and opened it to see that it was a letter from Yurou, Yurou is the maidservant girl next to the second brother, and she has always been in love with the second brother, and she has a good relationship with Diancui.
After reading the letter, Diancui was stunned for a long time.
"Go and call the shopkeeper Zhang and Li Qingshan in the shop in front, and you can come Dongxue too." Diancui said with a serious face.
Before long, a few people arrived, and Diancui announced in a deep voice that he was going to sell the shop.
Although everyone was a little surprised, there were a lot of things that happened in this period, and now the money in the account is empty, and those raw material merchants have also come to ask for money, and several of them also have a premonition of the current owner's decision. Although it is very reluctant, everyone is the only one who obeys the fate of the owner.
"Rest assured, you are also my homecoming people, and you have done your best over the years, if you want to find another errand outside, I will return the deed to you, and it is also considered that all these years of bothering to take care of the Angelica Pavilion. If you don't find a good errand for the time being, you will also join me in this courtyard and be a servant and a sweeper. ”
Zhang Jiu, the shopkeeper, was the first to stand up and say that the owner has the grace of knowing me, I will not leave and return home, and I am willing to be a porter. He is like this, Li Qingshan and Dongxue themselves are Diancui's cronies, so they don't even have to express their position.
In addition to Zhang Daquan in the account room, there are still some side thoughts, such as the guy who runs the hall to welcome the guests and serve the tea girl, who is willing to serve in the courtyard of the owner's house.
Now that the matter was decided, Li Qingshan and Zhang Jiu were busy looking for buyers to negotiate the price.
Angelica Pavilion is naturally second to none in Hangzhou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rising every day. This is a lot of fun, and several other top shops, and even some other families with some rich and small wealth, are eager to try.
In addition, this Angelica Pavilion is still the dowry of the dignified prefect's wife, if it is a deal with it, it can be regarded as selling the face of the parents and officials, and the relationship between the noble lady of the prefect is very different.
In the first few days, there were many people who talked to Li Qingshan about buying Angelica Pavilion, and the price was also appropriate. Li Qingshan and Zhang Jiu chose three and handed them over to Diancui.
Things were going very well, but on the third day, Diancui chose a family, and was about to sign and pay the money, but at this juncture, the man temporarily broke the contract.
Just when Diancui and the others were puzzled, there was a rumor in Hangzhou that Angelica Pavilion was in recession, including the shops in the capital, and several shops were sold. Angelica Pavilion was in full swing, and when it was sold at this time, rumors were bound to spread.
Some people say that Angelica Pavilion will be sealed if it offends the powerful people in the DPRK, and some say that Angelica Pavilion looks at the scenery on the surface but actually doesn't make money at all, and some people even hear the rumors that the young master who returned home made a fuss and sold the shop to raise money to buy his life.
Anyway, as soon as these rumors came out, the people who were eager to buy some green shops hesitated, their reason is very simple, if the shop really has a problem to buy it, it will be a loss, if the shop has no problem just go home and is in a hurry to raise money, then the longer the business is in business, the lower the price of the shop.
"Madam, those families were originally scrambling to buy them, but now they have no movement." Li Qingshan was depressed, he had visited several stores in the past few days, and he had to push back and forth, and he had a lot of closed-door soup. In addition to the rumors a while ago, there were also people from the Yuan Mansion who said that their wife was not worthy of the position, and they were about to be abandoned by the prefect, so that the buyers who originally wanted to make friends were even more out of their minds.
"Which one of these rumors was released, when will our lady be dismissed...... "Xin'er was angry and didn't fight anywhere, this rumor came out of Yuan's mansion, then Yuan Fu didn't come to pass the word, Xin'er stomped his foot, and went to Yuan Fu to ask what was going on.
This time, Yuan Fu avoided it, but it was the ice cube Yuan Lu who came out and said that the adult was angry with his wife, and Yuan Fu was also punished, and he was also punished, and he was also punished, and now he is hiding in the next room to recuperate.
Xin'er searched for Yuan Fu to no avail, so she had to leave angrily.
At this time, Diancui received another letter, which was left by his cousin Wu Yi'an, saying that he would take a boat from Hangzhou Mansion to Tianjin Wei by sea. Diancui knew that he was going to deal with the case of his second brother in person, and he was grateful in his heart.
Now is the critical juncture of returning home, and I have to do my part no matter what. Diancui instructed Li Qingshan and Zhang Jiu to go around for the shop again, and he and Dongxue Qiuyue went to the treasury to take out the dowry list, and turned all the silver into silver tickets, and exchanged all the valuables that could be used as silver tickets.
Just waiting for the money from the sale of the shop, together
"Madam, you exchanged the dowry for silver and sent it back home, will it be ...... if the adults know" Qiu Yue worried.
Diancui shook her head, she had already provoked him like that, was it a little more.
