Chapter Forty-Eight: The Red Seal
After Liu Wen left, Li Lu was pondering, who was making waves behind the scenes, and she couldn't do it if she wanted a moment of peace.
She immediately arranged for Mrs. Qian to go out to check who had been in contact with Aunt Bai in the fourth room recently.
In Baizhu Courtyard, Li Qiu'er had just finished dinner with her son Liu An, and the person sent by Lao Liu to deliver the message arrived.
After the messenger made Liu Wen's instructions clear, he left quickly, and Li Qiu'er asked Xinlan to go out to see off the guests.
As for why it's not Mrs. Zhang, people haven't done anything wrong when they spread the word, why should they scare people at night.
"Mother, I think this is an opportunity, a chance to get them in the big house."
Li Qiu'er looked around, and they were all old people who had followed her for several years, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"An'er, don't say what you said just now, and the rest of you are not allowed to spread it outside, otherwise you will know what the consequences will be.
An'er, you are still too young, I have never seen any winds and waves in this Liufu.
Even if Madame makes a big mistake, she will not shake her status in the main room, just because Madame is the daughter of the prime minister, which is a world that can be seen.
Madame is only a temporary delegation of power, she will take it back sooner or later, and without Madame's permission, a few people in our courtyard can command a large group of people in the house.
On the contrary, if we don't do a good job, it is not as good as her mind, and after Aunt Bai is unlucky, it will be reduced to us.
An'er, you can figure it out. ”
Liu An is not a stupid person, and quickly figured out the powerful relationship.
He said unwillingly: "Mother, I understand, I'm just a little unwilling. ”
And Li Qiuer patiently enlightened him.
"And bear with it a little longer, and when you get through until the day you start a family, she won't be able to point fingers at us too much.
You think about it slowly, I'll go to Mrs. for instructions and ask Mrs. to arrange work, otherwise we will really become a joke in Liufu in the future. ”
Li Qiu'er knew how good her son was, and in her heart, he was only a little worse than Liu Ming.
But she didn't dare, didn't dare to let her son show that talent.
Although she hadn't read a book, she also knew the truth that Mu Xiu would be destroyed by Lin Feng.
Li Lu can only tolerate one example of being weak and strong, and Li Qiu'er knows what the result will be if there are more.
There is no way, who asked Liu Mingsheng to show "early wisdom", and later Liu Ming's performance did not disappoint.
Liu Wen felt guilty about Liu Ming's mother, Zhao Rou'er, and Liu Ming was also very concerned, although he didn't usually pay attention to it, he asked Hui Liu Lao to pay attention to it.
Li Lu also thought about making it difficult, or getting rid of it directly.
I thought about deducting money, putting slowly effective poison in the diet, and slowly depleting his vitality like treating her mother, which seems to ordinary people to be similar to illness and death.
Moreover, this poison cannot be detected by ordinary means, such as silver needles, but it can be roughly judged through true qi, and that special true qi is needed in more detail.
But Liu Ming resolved them one by one.
Example money? Her mother is also a young lady from a large family, and the dowry at the bottom of the box is still there, plus the gold and silver kept by the princess.
To put it bluntly, he is not short of money at all, and he will also invest, let the money make money, buy land, buy Zhuangzi, and open a restaurant.
Since you have money, why don't you start a gang to cook, you have the vegetables in your own field, and you can also go out of the house to buy them, and directly bypass the back kitchen, so that Li Lu has nothing to do.
When she couldn't make a plan, she had persimmons and crabs delivered at the same time.
Because she was in Jinyang Li Mansion, she saw people who ate persimmons and crabs at the same time, and after a few months, they were killed alive, which was unbearable.
Others don't know, so she didn't understand until she asked Lang Zhong that these two things couldn't be eaten together, and Lang Zhong couldn't understand the specific principle.
However, her plan still failed, the crab was eaten, but the persimmon was returned intact.
She didn't understand, why was this seen through by few people who knew about it?
She thought that it should be that the persimmons didn't look good, and then she asked someone to pick a good one and send it again, but only the persimmon was returned.
The meaning of the expression is obvious, I know what you want to do, so don't play with these careful thoughts.
Li Lu thought that it should be Wang Po who ruined her plan, of course she wouldn't think that Liu Ming saw through her plan, and no matter how early Hui was, she wouldn't know about this, so there was only Wang Po, an experienced old man.
In fact, she was wrong about this.
It's really Liu Ming who spoiled her.
Wang Po really didn't know that persimmons can't be eaten with crabs, and she only understood after Liu Ming said this, and at the same time firmly remembered that she resolutely did not buy persimmons in the backyard.
So from then on, Liu Ming never saw such a thing as persimmons in the yard again.
This made Liu Ming a little crying and laughing, but he still accepted it, after all, it was all for him.
Liu Ming: If I hadn't crossed over, knowing that persimmons and crabs are easy to get stomach stones when eaten together, I would have been hit by a trick a long time ago.
But because Li Lu sent crabs to Liu Ming, he created an illusion for everyone in Liufu that Qingzhuyuan was liked by the old lady, and it should not be easy to mess with.
And then because of this, Liu Ming was given a low-key life that no one disturbed.
"Madam, Qiu'er has come to greet you, this is to manage the affairs of the mansion, the concubine really can't do it, one has no experience, and the other has no manpower, so I still ask Madame to continue to be in charge of Liu Mansion."
After speaking, Li Qiu'er half-lowered her body and tried her best to show her respect.
Li Lu didn't look at her, as if Li Qiu'er didn't exist, and was talking while sewing her daughter's winter clothes.
"You also have a heart, don't worry, the master told you to do it, you can do it, and let me relax."
But Li Qiu'er hurriedly said: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”
"What don't you dare, if you really don't dare, you should go to the master, instead of coming to me to beg me in a fake way."
Hearing this, Li Qiu'er was so frightened that she sweated coldly, and knelt down without hesitation, kowtowing while keeping talking.
"Madam, Qiu'er never meant that, begging Madame to forgive."
"Get up, don't kneel, you are also the master of Liufu, and it is undignified for people to see you like this.
Since the master asked you to take care of it, you can take care of it for me.
However, you have to deduct the money from Huangzhu's side, and you will target them.
Okay, you go down, I'm tired too. ”
Li Qiu'er sighed in her heart, sure enough, Mrs. is still the same as before, she has never been soft-hearted, and she is ruthless, I'm afraid I'm just a means on the surface, and I don't know what it will be in secret.
I knew that I was borrowing my hand to do this, but I couldn't resist it, so I had to let it go.
Li Qiu'er was in a trance and returned to her yard.
Liu An was waiting for her mother at the door.
But when he saw the red mark on his mother's forehead, he clenched his fists, and he wanted to seek justice, but he still held back, because he knew that it was useless, and he was wrong.
