Chapter 592: Door-to-door debt collection
On the second day, Huang Fuxue and the woman went to the ancestral tomb early, and after worshipping, they went directly to the ancestral temple of the Chen family, and went to the family tree. She didn't know about Concubine He's conspiracy, but since she wanted him to go back like this, she would go back as soon as possible to find out.
Three days later, the village chief came to see them off at the entrance of the village. With a guilty face, "Xue'er, sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect the villagers to ......" After that day, the sauce garden was closed, and now the villagers are all doing their own and buying their own, but they didn't remember Huangfu Xue's kindness, and no one even knew that she was leaving today. That day, Huang Fuxue was dissatisfied with their retribution with virtue, and he still felt that Huang Fuxue was impulsive, but today......
"What's this? This has nothing to do with the village chief. The hour is not early, we will go first, the village chief take care. Five days later, the two returned to the capital, Fang Qilang sent the account books of the past few days, and told her about the Li family coming to the shop to get the sauce, Huangfu Xue looked up unhappily, "Have you written down the details?" ”
Fang Qilang understood Huang Fu Xue's temperament, and prepared the things he needed early, hearing this, he took out a note and handed it over, Huang Fu Xue stood up after reading it, "You go to the shop, I will deal with this matter personally." ”
"The owner, I specifically inquired about this Li family for this matter, and I didn't know if I didn't inquire, and after inquiring, I found out that she was the prime minister's mother-in-law. Owner, I don't think this matter should be counted. We are just ordinary people, where can we find officials to ask for accounts, in case we offend them, we are afraid that we will be driven out of the capital. ”
"What's wrong with the prime minister, the prime minister should buy things without money, isn't it unreasonable? According to what you say, if everyone in Kyoto is like them, we should not do this shop. Huang Fuxue waved her hand, "Okay, I know you're doing it for my good, but I won't take today's matter lightly." ”
Although Huang Fuxue has not had much contact with the Li family, she can see that she is a person who likes to take advantage of small advantages and has no eyes, if he lets go of today's affairs, the Li family will come over in the future, not to say it for a day, she pretends to be stupid for a day, they are open to do business, if everyone is like the Li family, what business do they do?
went out, came to the gate of Huangfu's house after looking for someone to inquire, I don't know why Huangfu Xue had a very familiar feeling, after suppressing this feeling, Huangfu Xue secretly told herself that this is the memory of the original owner, not hers, she is not the original owner, and now she has nothing to do with this family.
"Why are you here?" As soon as Huangfu Yue got off the sedan chair, she saw Huangfu Xue, thinking that she was here to find Huangfu Zhengxiong, so she strode forward and stopped the person, "Don't you look at what place this is, can you go in here?" ”
"What is the eldest lady doing in such a hurry? I have come today only to ask for debts. Huang Fuxue took out the IOU, "Of course, if the eldest lady is willing to help them pay off this debt, I can leave now." ”
"Why should I pay back the debt owed by that old immortal." Huangfu Yue is not wronged, subconsciously dodged, probed again, and asked tentatively, "Are you really not her?" Huangfu Xue was displeased, "In the same way, the eldest lady wants me to explain, even if you believe it, I am not the person you are looking for." I have only come today to ask for a debt. ”
It's good if it's not her. Huang Fuyue put away her vigilance, and thought of something when she was about to go in with the maid, "You came to ask that old woman for money, you really have the courage." Huangfu Xue knew that she was gloating, and pretended not to understand and said, "It is natural to repay debts." ”
In that case, then I wish you good luck. Turning to the doorman, "Let her in." "After Huangfu Yue entered, Huangfu Xue also entered Huangfu's house. The people of Huangfu Mansion were surprised when they saw Huangfu Xue, and the housekeeper knelt down directly in front of her when he saw her, "Second Miss, you are finally back, it's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." ”
"That, you admit that you are mistaken, I am not the second lady of your family, I am Chen Xueer, the owner of the sauce shop, I came here this time to ask for debts."
Huang Fuyun got the news and hurried over, and when he walked to the corridor, he saw this scene in a hurry, the last time he saw him in a hurry, he just felt that he looked similar to the second sister, and when he looked at it today, he was not only lovesick, it was exactly the same, if she said that she was Huangfu Xue now, they would never suspect him of being a fake.
The housekeeper was surprised, "You're really not the second lady?" ”
"Of course not." Huangfu Xue chuckled, "Butler, hurry up." I wish I was the second lady of your family. Who doesn't know that the Huangfu family is rich and rivals the country, if I am the second lady of your family, do I still need to come to the door to collect debts in person? ”
"The girl came to ask for a debt, I don't know who owed the girl the money and didn't give it?" The housekeeper saw that he was really not, and quickly put away the loss, but she looked too much like the second lady, and the housekeeper had the heart to help her. Huang Fuxue handed over the IOU, and after the housekeeper read the contents clearly, she returned it to her with some worry, "Is the girl short of money?" ”
"What do you mean by that, butler?" Huangfu Xue was puzzled, and the housekeeper explained, "This old lady in the house is not very good-tempered, if the girl is not short of money, this money ......." Huangfu Xue smiled knowingly, it seems that this Li family is really difficult to deal with, but it is natural to repay debts, besides, she doesn't have to apologize, she just wants Li to stop making trouble in the shop in the future, so she must go on this trip today. "Thank you for the kindness of the housekeeper, but I have just started my business and I don't have much money, although I don't have much money, I can hire two men. I can make it easier that way, can't I? ”
The housekeeper nodded knowingly, "Why don't I go with you?" ”
"Is the housekeeper idle today? Miss Japan asked you to do something, how can you be so diligent today. Huangfu Yun stepped forward with a smile, and the housekeeper heard the dissatisfaction in her words, and saluted with a smile, "The third lady said that she laughed, the old slave is the master's minion, so she naturally has to obey the master's orders." When the three young ladies got married, the master had already said that the old slave only obeyed the master. If the third lady has any opinions about the master, even if she looks for the master, the old slave still has some things, so she will retire. ”
The butler smiled apologetically at Huangfu Xue, then turned to leave. Huang Fuyun didn't vent his anger, but was scolded a lot by the housekeeper, and he was not happy, "It turns out that you are the woman who looks very similar to my second sister." It does look very similar, but the fake is the fake, and no matter how much you toss her, it becomes real. ”
"What the third lady wants to say is that pheasants can't become phoenixes." Huangfu Xue once again felt that it was right not to come back, the people of the Huangfu family were stranger than the other, she recruited whoever provoked whom, and she sneered when she came up.
"You ......" Huang Fuyun didn't expect this woman to be as sharp as the second sister, she had suffered so many losses under the second sister, and today she wanted to get some back, but she was humiliated again, she was really angry with him. I heard that you are going to ask the old lady for debts, you are really bold, have you seen the courtyard over there? It's good to go, not to send. ”
"Thank you, Miss Three, for showing you the way." Huang Fuxue went directly to the West Courtyard, and Huang Fuyun wanted to see the joke, so he followed with the maid. After a while, Huang Fuyue also came over with the maid, and the two met at the door, and moved to the side with an unpleasant look at each other.
"What, that stinky girl actually came to the house to collect debts, so she wasn't afraid that I would let the boss confiscate her shop?" The old lady was eating melon seeds and obedient book, and the maid came in and said that the person from the sauce shop came to collect the bills, and she didn't react at first, but after understanding what was going on, she stood up angrily, "Don't care, let him stand outside." "She didn't believe it, she could still stand here for a day.
Huangfu Xue had long known that the Li family would cheat, so she found a clean stone and sat down, then took out the account book on her waist and looked at it carefully. Huang Fuyue and Huang Fuyun have never seen such a calm person, and they are looking forward to what will happen next. Before I knew it, an hour passed, and Li asked again, and the maid said that when he was still in the yard, Li couldn't sit still.
"She's just a broom star, but a little sauce, why is she so stingy." The Li family came out with the maid, and as soon as he saw Huangfu Xue, he scolded loudly, "There are no rules at all, do you know what will happen to you if you offend me today." ”
"I can't afford to eat, I'm starving, I can't care about tomorrow. I can't care about the future. If the old lady has time, she should settle the arrears. Huang Fuxue took out an IOU, "It's not much, a total of twenty taels and five dollars." ”
"The old woman has no money, if you want money, wait for the boss to come back." Li couldn't resist Huang Fuxue, so she could only put An Mingchen out, she thought that Huang Fuxue would be afraid, who knew that Huang Fuxue put away the IOU and began to read the account book again. The Li family had never seen such a stubborn person, and his face changed again and again, "My son is the prime minister of the court, are you sure you want to ask him for silver?" ”
"It is natural to repay debts, even if the emperor owes money today, I will find a way to ask for it." After speaking, he explained, "Old lady, I first came to Kyoto, and I really don't have a lot of money, and this silver is not a big deal for you, but for me, it can solve my urgent needs, and I ask the old lady to forgive me." "Huangfu Xue sold miserably, and the Li family didn't know what to scold. But just let him give money like this, she was still unwilling.
"Forget it, you can wait if you want." An Wanru came out and saw this scene, and stepped forward and reminded in a whisper, "Mother, you know the character of the eldest brother, if you let him know that you have done such a thing, I am afraid that I will be displeased, you should send the person away before the eldest brother comes back." ”
"I don't have any money." Li glared at An Wanru angrily, "What, he is angry again, no matter how dissatisfied he is, she is also my son, the old lady owes money, and it is only natural for the son to repay the money." An Wanru couldn't persuade the Li family, so she could only give up, and after seeing Huang Fuxue's appearance clearly, she was shocked, "Mother, she ...... Isn't she a sister-in-law? "My sister-in-law is not dead, does my eldest brother know?
"What kind of sister-in-law, it's just a person who looks extremely similar." Lee turned around and went back to the house. An Wan didn't believe it, and stepped forward quickly, "Sister-in-law, is it really you?" ”
"This girl, I am not your sister-in-law, and I don't know your sister-in-law. I am the proprietor of the sauce shop, and your mother bought the sauce in my shop a few days ago without giving the silver, do you have enough money? Do you want to help him pay him back? ”
