Chapter 81: Meet Aunt Zhong
Li Qingrong thought about it and went directly into the Su family's house.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw that Su Shi's eyes were a little more energetic, but now they became a little darker, and when they saw that she had come in, they immediately cheered up: "Rong'er, aren't you still taking care of Master Su in the Futai Yamen, why did you come back so early today?" ”
"Did you forget, my cousin went to Huangcui Building today, and I followed him to Huang Cui Building, and I stayed for some time and came back." As Li Qingrong spoke, she sat down next to Su: "As soon as I returned home, I heard that Aunt Zhong is here, where is Aunt Zhong?" ”
Su Shi paused slightly, and spoke: "Aunt Zhong just came over, I saw her, so I ordered the people below to arrange for her to stay, after all, she was tired after a long journey." ”
Li Qingrong nodded: "What about Dad?" ”
"Speaking of your father, I got angry, I was dressed strangely in Huangcui Building, and I had to rely on you when I came back, and said that you asked him to help fool Chen Da into business, how could my daughter do business." When Su Shi heard this inquiry, his eyes finally became a little angry.
Li Qingrong, who heard this, couldn't help blinking: "Dad is too much, my mother is right, how can my daughter do business, it's still the best for my mother, I don't believe what my father said." ”
When Su Shi heard this, he couldn't help touching Li Qingrong's hair: "You are your mother's daughter, my mother still doesn't know you, it's your father, these days are strange, always sighing in peace, saying that there is no silver, but today I did even more strange things, and I don't know what's wrong." ”
Li Qingrong couldn't help but stick out her tongue: "Dad, sighing, I'm probably tired, mother, don't think too much." ”
"I don't want to think too much, I can't think too much now, Aunt Zhong is here, where do I need to think too much, and where do I think too much." Su Shi couldn't help but lower his eyes again.
"Mother, aren't you married to Daddy Mingmei? Was it brought in by a small sedan chair from the side door? Li Qingrong stared at Su Shi with wide eyes.
Su Shi was directly anxious: "What nonsense are you talking about, my mother is naturally married to your father Ming Media, and she is also the one who carried the sedan chair into the Bofu, although the mother's background is a little worse, but she is also your father's wife." ”
"Is this so, shouldn't the wife think about everything she should think about for her father, how did it come to your mouth but it became a share that you didn't think about, I thought that the eight sedan chairs or something, they were all lies, you are actually not married to Ming Media."
"Buckle!" Su Shi pointed directly at Li Qingrong's head: "You girl, even your mother dares to arrange it." ”
"It hurts, it hurts." Li Qingrong hurriedly covered her head: "Isn't this what you said yourself without you thinking too much?" ”
"That's no such nonsense." Su glared at Li Qingrong: "What my mother said didn't think much about it, because Aunt Zhong came on the order of Mrs. Bo, and the old lady asked Aunt Zhong to help your father manage the backyard." ”
As soon as these words fell, Su Shi was reluctant to continue, obviously not wanting to talk too much about such a private matter with Li Qingrong.
Li Qingrong nodded: "Mrs. Bo is very good, knowing that my mother is not in good health and can't stand it, she actually sent someone to help you take care of the back house." ”
Su Shi was a little confused: "Help me take care of the back house." ”
"Yes, since you are helping your father take care of the back house, your father's back house should be managed by your lady in charge, so isn't it Mrs. Bo who sent you to help you take care of the back house?" Li Qingrong looked at the Su family: "Mother, don't you think that Aunt Zhong can go past you, you are not in good health, you can just hand over the more tiring things to Aunt Zhong to do, for example, if you buy a New Year's gift, haven't you already done it, with Aunt Zhong's ability, it must be amazing, after all, it is the old lady's person, you give her two thousand taels of silver, and let her buy a New Year's gift of three thousand taels." ”
Su Shi didn't sound like it in front of him, but when he heard the back, he was directly stunned: "Rong'er, this, this is not very good." ”
You can't do such a thing by killing someone.
"What's wrong, this is all sent by Mrs. Bo to help you deal with difficult things that you can't do, you happen to have a difficult thing now, Mrs. Bo's people are so capable, if you don't hand it over to Aunt Zhong, who will you hand it over?" Li Qingrong smiled: "In this way, call Aunt Zhong now, if you are embarrassed to say it, I will say it for you." ”
Li Qingrong saw that Su Shi couldn't react, so she directly ordered Xing'er to summon Aunt Zhong over.
After a while, a little woman who looked like she was twenty-seven or eighteen years old walked in, although her appearance was good, but compared with the Su family, it was much worse, although the Bofu originally married the Su family to enter the mansion for silver, but the Su family had silver, and the daughter-in-law focused on picking the appearance, so the appearance of the Su family can be said to be the best among the daughters-in-law of the entire Bofu.
If it weren't for the characteristics of this Aunt Zhong, the characteristic would be that the movements were a little twisted, obviously deliberately holding the tone of an official woman, but unfortunately she only learned three points, which looks nondescript.
There's no way, in a place like Bofu, their own daughters haven't been trained well, and this person is not as good as the girls in Bofu, and their learning is naturally worse, so after looking closely, only twisting is left.
However, Su Shi looked at the other party's posture and was a little envious.
"I've seen Madame, I've seen Seventh Girl, I don't know what happened when Madame came over with a concubine?" Aunt Zhong opened her mouth when she entered the room, her expression was still a little arrogant, after all, she was a maid who had been by Mrs. Bo's side for a long time, and the one who was sent by Mrs. Bo to the fourth room to be an aunt always had a different identity.
Li Qingrong was not angry, and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhong, my mother said that Mrs. Bo sent you over to manage the back house for my mother, but is there such a thing?" ”
"Mrs. Bo was worried that the fourth lady would not be able to take care of the master's back house, so she specially asked me to come over." Aunt Zhong spoke proudly with a slight concealment.
Li Qingrong nodded: "It's quite unbearable, my father's back house, together with the maid and mother-in-law, there are not ten people in total, and it is very difficult to take care of." ”
The apricot who followed on the side laughed directly.
Aunt Zhong's face stiffened slightly.
"Aunt Zhong, why is your face frozen, I didn't say that you came over to take care of the redundancy, and did not reduce the burden, but added people to the father's house, which directly made the number of people soar to eleven people, which is even more difficult to take care of."
Aunt Zhong: "......"
Finally couldn't help but look at the Su family: "Madam, I don't know what you are doing with the concubine, I rushed over according to Mrs. Bo's instructions all the way, the concubine is really tired......"
"Oh, that means you can't help my mother take care of the back house?"
Aunt Zhong: "......"
Aunt Zhong gritted her teeth: "Yes." ”
"But you're tired."
"In order to help Mrs. manage the back house, the concubine can be tired."
Li Qingrong suddenly said: "Oh, yes, you are the person who was personally cultivated by Mrs. Bo's side, I heard that the person trained by Mrs. Bo is the most capable person, and he can do anything, is this true?" ”
Aunt Zhong laughed: "Naturally, but only things related to the back house can be done by concubines." ”
Li Qingrong nodded: "Ask me, buy a New Year's gift for Bofu and send it back to Beijing, this should be a matter of the back house, right?" ”
Aunt Zhong's eyes lit up instantly, this kind of thing, there is oil and water in it, especially for the Su family: "Naturally." ”
Li Qingrong nodded: "That's just right, my mother can't handle this matter a little, since you can handle it, I'll leave it to you." ”
"No problem." Aunt Zhong spoke directly, and after speaking, she couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what Madame can't do?" ”
"It's not a big deal, that is, Mrs. Bo's annual gift for sending back the fourth room this year has increased by half compared with previous years, but we only have two thousand taels, which is only enough to buy the same amount of annual gifts in previous years, and we can't meet Mrs. Bo's request, since you are here, it is just right, this is given to you with two thousand taels of silver, so you will meet Mrs. Bo's request and purchase the three thousand taels of silver New Year's gift."
Aunt Zhong was originally proud, but when she heard Li Qingrong's words, her expression was directly distorted.
Li Qingrong didn't seem to see half of it, and continued to look at Aunt Zhong with a smile: "Aunt Zhong, this matter is okay, right?" ”
