Chapter 7: Throwing Dirty Water on the Dead
As soon as these words came out, Tsurujudo was quiet.
"When the uncle was alive, he asked the small ones to collect seven points of new tea and three points of old tea every year, and mixed them to sell, saying that the price was low and the profit was higher. The little one didn't dare to disobey the uncle, so he had to ...... Please also ask the old lady to calm her anger, for the sake of the small heartfelt Sheng family, let go of the small horse! ”
Steward Gui was crying down there, looking like a loyal servant.
The old lady's face was very embarrassed, although this eldest grandson did not show any outstanding business talent, but he has always been decent, how can he be so confused to do such a thing?!
Thinking like this, he was also angry with Shen Yu.
The second lady took the opportunity to say: "I didn't expect the eldest nephew to be such a person, I really know people and don't know my heart!" ”
Shen Yu's heart sank, this is to pour dirty water on Sheng Yanming's body, and there is no proof of death!
Oh, then you have to ask her if she agrees!
"Steward Gui, everyone knows how the uncle behaves on weekdays. Now that the uncle is gone, you want to splash dirty water on the uncle, and your conscience is to let the dog eat it! Shen Yu swept around the crowd and paused for a moment on the face of the second lady who was in schadenfreude, then smiled mockingly, "Uncle really let you mix old and new every year?" ”
Steward Gui's eyes rolled quickly, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes, it is true that the uncle let the little one do this." ”
"!" Shen Yu scolded sharply, making Steward Gui tremble in fright.
"Are you all fools doing business with the Sheng family, new tea and old tea, anyone who runs this way can tell the difference. If this had been done a few years earlier, the Sheng family's signboard would have been destroyed long ago. ”
Shen Yu's words were not untargeted, the old lady heard this, her face also turned, and her eyes were cold when she looked at Steward Gui.
Steward Gui snorted, still quibbling to himself, "The eldest grandmother is sharp-tongued, but the villain can't argue." However, it was the uncle who ordered the little one to mix the old and the new in half. ”
Shen Yu was so angry that she wanted to scold, and she couldn't wait to let Steward Gui go down to Sheng Yanming to confront her.
Seeing that Shen Yu was suffocated, the second lady immediately jumped out again to fan the flames, "I said that the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, my eldest nephew is no longer there, and it's not up to you to say." Are you doing this to make people think that our Sheng family is bullying? ”
"Heh, the second aunt also knew that Yan Ming was gone, so she poured dirty water on him by a subordinate? Is it determined that there is no proof of death? According to the meaning of the second aunt, do you wish that such an ugly thing would happen to the Sheng family? ”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone in the hall turned to the second lady.
The second lady's face rose, and she said hatefully, "When did I mean this!" Auntie, Yanming's daughter-in-law's mouth is too powerful, if you continue to argue like this, I'm afraid that this crime will fall on our second room! ”
In and out of the words, it still means that the fault is in the big house, and the fault is in Sheng Yanming.
Shen Yu pursed her lips and stopped talking. She can see that the large group of people in the Sheng family are simply good and evil. The second room lives on the big house, and now that something has happened, I can't wait to trample the big house under my feet.
"Evidence...... It's not for nothing......"
Just when everything fell into an impasse, Sheng Yanqing, who had never spoken, lightly threw out a sentence, causing everyone to look at him.
His expression was pale, and there was not a trace of emotion in his eyebrows, so he continued, "Before my eldest brother died, he gave me an account book, on which some things were recorded. Because of the death of the eldest brother, it was delayed. The grandson has already asked people to pick it up, and the grandmother will understand when she sees it. ”
After Shen Yu heard this, she immediately understood. I'm afraid that Steward Gui committed something, Sheng Yanqing already knew about it. Even if she hadn't exposed it today, Sheng Yanqing would definitely find a reason to shake things out.
Hmph, belly black.
Soon, the ledger was retrieved and handed over to the old lady.
While the old lady was looking at the accounts, Sheng Yanqing said slowly, "Steward Gui said that the eldest brother asked him to collect the old tea and the new tea together, so why did the purchase price of tea last year be high?" Moreover, the tea next to it is just that, the old and the new Xianglin tea are different, if it started to be sold like this last year, how can there be no familiar customers to come to the door? ”
While looking at the account book, the old lady darkened her face and said in a deep voice: "Gui Quan! If you don't tell the truth again, I'll have to hand you over to the officials!" ”
Gui Quan died when he saw the coffin, and collapsed on the ground and cried: "It's the little lard that blinds my heart, please ask the old lady to spare me!" ”
"There are a lot of things in the Sheng family this year, and the tea harvest is late, so the Shen family wants to get a few more. Tell me that I will sell his family's old tea to the Sheng family at the price of new tea, and the extra money will be divided with the small one. The little one was dizzy for a while, and agreed to the Shen family...... Old lady, for the sake of my conscientious work for the Sheng family all these years, spare me this time! ”
The Shen family?
Shen Yu didn't expect this to happen, but now she just felt that she was roasted on the fire.
Although she is not a member of the Shen family, she is also surnamed Shen in the end.
Sure enough, the second lady who came to join in the fun just now stabbed when she heard this: "The Shen family is really a good in-law of the Sheng family, and they actually cheated my Sheng family like this!" Tsk, I just thought that the eldest grandmother was thinking more about the Sheng family, but it turned out that she was feeding her mother's family before she came to take care of the life and death of her mother-in-law's family! ”
Shen Yu stood silently aside, waiting for the old lady to ask Xie Changli to escort Gui Quan to the official mansion, and her eyes suddenly moved.
The old lady ignored the second lady at all, and just asked the rest of the people: "Now that the matter of the new tea and the old tea is clear, you all talk about it, what should you do." ”
The second lady preemptively said: "Since it has been collected, it is naturally going to be sold!" Otherwise, wouldn't our family have lost it?! ”
The old lady was noncommittal, and suddenly asked Shen Yu: "Daughter-in-law Yanming, what do you say you want to do?" ”
Shen Yu had already made a decision in her heart, and said: "Daughter-in-law Sun thinks that old tea and new tea should not be mixed. ”
"Oh?"
"Although the mixed sale of new and old tea has gained temporary benefits, it is the century-old signboard of the Sheng family's tea shop. If this kind of shoddy name spreads, the Sheng family's century-old reputation will only be ruined. ”
The old lady asked Sheng Yanqing again: "Yanqing, what do you say?" ”
"Destroy old tea in public as a warning."
"Then, according to what Yanqing said, destroy all the old tea."
The old lady made a final decision, and the second lady wanted to say something, but she scolded her back with a few words.
After she left, the old lady showed fatigue, rubbed her eyebrows and said, "The old and new tea leaves are mixed together, and it is difficult to distinguish them." Yanqing, this matter will be handed over to you, you have worked hard during this time. ”
"How can this be?!"
When the eldest lady heard this, she was the first to be dissatisfied, "How can the Sheng family's property give birth to a concubine, there is no need to make people laugh at our Sheng family's lack of rules!" ”
Shen Yu peeked at Sheng Yanqing, only to see that his face had not changed, and he looked unfazed.
Sure enough, it's so determined!
The old lady put the dragon's head cane on the ground and said, "Shut up! What kind of concubine gives birth to a child and so on, don't mention it again! Yanqing also called you mother, do you look like a mother? ”
The eldest lady was so angry that her eyes were red, and before she could speak, she heard the old lady throw another thunderbolt.
"Yanming's daughter-in-law, do you know how to distinguish new tea from old tea?"
