Chapter 284: Money Can Make Ghosts Grind
"Damn it!" Li Fangrui was furious, picked up the celadon teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground without thinking, and the flying porcelain pieces were scattered all over the ground, almost scratching Bai Lan who walked in to serve.
"Why did Miss move such a big liver fire again? Didn't Dr. Hu say that? Miss has been on fire lately, her spleen and stomach are out of balance, and she has night terrors and night sweats, so you must not be angry. ”
Bai Lan put the pastry in her hand on the table, glanced at the little ones on the side, and asked them to take a broom and sweep away the debris on the ground.
"How can you tell me not to keep my liver on fire!" Li Fangrui stood up suddenly, pointing to the sign of Baoning Hall opposite, "Seeing that she is about to lose Li Shoucai, a big customer, how long can she last without funds and medicinal materials!" But in an instant, Song Xuanran opened three carts of medicinal materials and sent them to Baoning Hall! All the plans are now empty! How can you tell me not to be angry? ”
The more Li Fangrui spoke, the more angry she became, her fingers clenched and she wanted to take out her anger with the cups and plates on the table.
"Miss, I'm angry carefully, it's not worth it for that little slut." Bai Lan came to Li Fangrui's back intimately, gently helped Li Fangrui knead her shoulders, and helped her eliminate her fatigue.
Li Fangrui barely stretched her brows when she heard this, and immediately thought that Song Lingyue had hooked Song Xuanran to help her through the crisis before the blink of an eye, and resentment surged into her heart:
"That little slut doesn't know what kind of foxy kung fu he has used, but he can attract a big man like Song Xuanran to donate generously for him."
"That's that Master Song has never seen Miss, Miss, your flower and moon appearance, isn't it a thousand times stronger than that Song Lingyue?" Bai Lan said flattering words in her mouth, carefully observing Li Fangrui's face.
Li Fangrui raised her eyes and glanced at her, Bai Lan lowered her eyes in a panic, for fear that she had said the wrong thing and made Li Fangrui unhappy.
But I heard Li Fangrui smile at her rarely, "This sounds pleasing to the ear." ”
"Miss, the slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Bai Lan peeked at Li Fangrui's face and spoke cautiously.
Li Fangrui glanced at Bai Lan and sneered: "As soon as you say this, what else should and shouldn't be said?" Go ahead. Today you speak very well, and I want to hear what else you can say. ”
"Miss, the slave is thinking, since Miss doesn't deal with that little slut, why don't you join forces with other people who can't look at that little slut and deal with her together?"
Li Fangrui's hand holding the teacup paused in mid-air for a moment, narrowed her eyes slightly, and was interested: "Go on." ”
Bai Lan narrated:
"The slave maid heard Huai'an say that there is a medical hall called 'Generalist Pharmacy' in this Jizhou Mansion, and Zhang Xu, the shopkeeper of the medical hall, heard that he has always been at odds with this little slut, saying that he would go to court with the little slut as soon as he came, but he didn't expect to suffer a loss at the hands of the little slut."
"Why don't you go and visit this shopkeeper? I believe that this shopkeeper must be the same as the young lady, wanting to trample that little slut under his feet! ”
Li Fangrui let out a chuckle, and the corners of her lips hooked up a mocking arc:
"I thought you could come up with any good ideas, he and Song Lingyue got into trouble to the point of going to court, but in the end they suffered a loss, and one of his subordinates was defeated, and he also deserved me to cooperate with him."
Bai Lanxin said that you are not also a defeated general under Song Lingyue.
This idea is destined to be thought about only in the heart, and it can never be spoken.
Bai Lan pursed the corners of her lips: "Miss, although this Zhang Langzhong is the defeated subordinate of that little slut, the person behind him is not the object that the little slut can afford to provoke." ”
"Oh?" Li Fangrui picked up a delicately repaired Dai eyebrow, with three points of interest, "Who is the person behind him?" ”
Seeing that Li Fangrui's face softened, Bai Lan spoke:
"Hasn't Miss always wanted to see the King of Jibei? That Zhang Xu heard that he was very close to the king of northern Hebei, and his sister was still a favored concubine in the palace of the king of northern Hebei. ”
Li Fangrui ate the grapes slowly, thinking about what Bai Lan said just now, and the corners of her lips raised: "Then what are you waiting for?" Freshen up for me, and then visit Shopkeeper Zhang. ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go." Bai Lan's hanging heart can be regarded as falling back into her stomach.
Over there, Li Fangrui was about to hook up with Zhang Xu, but Song Lingyue was full of joy that she had survived the crisis this time.
Song Xuanran's medicinal materials were delivered in a timely manner, and after Song Lingyue counted them, she and Qi Mo sent the medicinal materials to Liuye Street, asking the workers to work overtime.
"You can't go!" After sending the medicinal materials, Song Lingyue was about to go back, but was stopped by the fat aunt.
"What's wrong, Fat Auntie?" Song Lingyue stopped and looked at the fat aunt in front of her.
The fat aunt pointed to the burned house, her face full of heartache:
"You're still asking what's wrong! My house was burned down like this, don't you have any indication as the owner? Although it is said that the arsonist was caught, if it weren't for the fact that you were going to set up this Laoshzi factory in our family, our family's ancestral house would not have been burned down like this, I don't care, you must be responsible for this responsibility. ”
The fat aunt grabbed Song Lingyue's arm stubbornly, as if she had made up her mind and refused to let Song Lingyue go.
Song Lingyue chuckled, patted the fat aunt's arm and motioned her to let go:
"Although I didn't set fire to this house, it was because of me that I had this disaster, no matter what, I do have part of the responsibility, I will not shirk this responsibility, this fat aunt just rest assured."
Hearing Song Lingyue say this, the fat aunt's tense face stretched a lot, but she just held Song Lingyue's arm but didn't let go, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"I want to renovate the burned house and repaint the blackened walls, I wonder what the fat aunt thinks?"
Song Lingyue asked for the fat aunt's opinion.
In fact, when Daquan set fire, it was mainly the warehouse, and the other buildings were only affected, and the walls were blackened a lot, and there were also damaged places, as long as they were renovated, they could be renovated in less than three days.
The fat aunt's eyes rolled slightly, a calculating light flashed in her eyes, and she grabbed Song Lingyue's wrist:
"That's not going to work! This is my family's ancestral house, just renovate it casually, how can it be worthy of my Wang family's ancestors? ”
"What does the fat aunt think it should be?" Song Lingyue narrowed her eyes and tilted her head to look at the fat aunt, although the corners of her lips were raised, there was no smile in her eyes.
The fat aunt didn't know much about Song Lingyue, she only thought that Song Lingyue was soft and easy to bully, and when she saw Song Lingyue so obediently saying this sentence according to her thoughts, she was overjoyed:
"This house has burned down to this shape, so it might as well be rebuilt! As for the craftsmen or something, I have a familiar construction team, just leave it to me! ”
"Then if you want to rebuild, how many silver taels will you need?" Song Lingyue's tone was full of coldness.
The fat aunt didn't hear it at all, grinning and counting her fingers: "A total of two rooms will be rebuilt, counting wood and stone, it will be enough to calculate about thirty taels." ”
"Are you sure it's only thirty taels?" Song Lingyue shouted very respectfully, but her tone was even more detached.
The fat aunt rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "I know that you are a capable person who can do big things and is not short of money, so it will be forty taels!" There are a lot of smoked homes in this house, and I have to buy them! Otherwise, there will be more and more people in the factory in the future, but there will be no place to sleep. ”
"Fat aunt is right." After a while, Song Lingyue slowly spit out such a sentence, "But I didn't have so many silver taels in my hands today, and I will have someone send it to you tomorrow." ”
"That's a good relationship, then I'll wait at home tomorrow and won't go anywhere." The fat aunt agreed, and sent Song Lingyue and Qi Mo to the door, and then she turned back to the house overjoyed.
As soon as he walked out of the house, Qi Mo couldn't help but say:
"It's just two tiled houses, even if it is torn down and rebuilt, it will take less than forty taels of silver, at most a dozen taels is enough, this fat aunt is clearly cheating you.
For a person like her, who sees money and has an eye for money, she is afraid that it will be extremely easy to be used in the future, so it is better for you to be careful. ”
Song Lingyue hooked the corners of her lips disapprovingly, and raised a sneer: "But just a few dozen taels of silver can see a person's nature, it's worth it." ”
Qi Mo cast a puzzled gaze at Song Lingyue.
Song Lingyue said in a deep voice:
"The warehouse is built near the west main house, even if the overtime workers will get off work at three o'clock, the fat aunt will be locked at the next hour, and the door connecting the west and east wings across the courtyard will be locked, according to the second pillar, the fat aunt will not forget to lock it one day, afraid that they will break in without permission.
But on the day Daquan went to the warehouse to light the fire, the door across the courtyard forgot to lock it, isn't it strange?
Even if people are careless, but when we went to the fire, the proprietor's house where the fat aunt lived was so close to the warehouse, but the walls of the house were only blackened, and the straw on the roof was burned a lot, but the house was not destroyed too much.
Erzhuzi also said that the first person to find out that the fire was the fat aunt that night, and the fat aunt found that the person was dressed very neatly when she found the fire, as if she knew from the beginning that someone would set it on fire. ”
Qi Mo's eyes moved: "You mean, I suspect that the fat aunt has long known that someone will set fire but deliberately doesn't say a word?" But why? Why would she see her house being set on fire and deliberately condone it? ”
Song Lingyue sneered: "Someone must have bought her to make her deliberately open the copper lock that locked the door, and also connived at Daquan to set fire to the warehouse, why did you do this?" It was nothing more than the man who gave her a good sum of money. ”
"But this arson is no small matter! If she doesn't make a good fuss, she may also be buried in the fire, which is too risky! Qi Mo shook his head, he couldn't believe that the fat aunt who looked honest would do such a ridiculous thing for the sake of silver.
The contemptuous arc of the corners of her lips rose, and Song Lingyue smiled mockingly:
"It's a pity that the fat aunt is very fateful! Didn't you notice a vat full of water in the corner of her house? That's more than half a person's height! Originally, the tank was placed in the backyard to facilitate laundry, and it was the two pillars who helped move it!
Also, haven't you noticed that the fat aunt has been drying the quilt these days? I touched the quilt while she wasn't paying attention, and it was damp, as if it had been soaked in water.
With so many coincidences coming together, can it still be said to be a coincidence? ”
