Chapter 41: Zhan's Mother's Decision
Coming out of Yixingfang, Zhan's mother looked stunned, a little distracted, climbed into the car and sat down for a long time without speaking.
That family is also a businessman, ancestral home Huaiyin, came to Jiangning Mansion to do timber business, originally also had some family background, but unexpectedly, the owner of the family had an emergency, and he had not eaten a few decoctions and died, the lady in charge was a no-brainer, less than a few days of hard work, the only family wealth in the family was also done with funerals and constantly came to the door to ask for debts, only this mansion was left.
The lady in charge has no children under her knees, only a young girl a few years old, so she can only help the coffin to return to her hometown, and she has no cash on hand, so she can only sell the house for silver, so she has to sell it so cheaply.
Zhan's mother excused herself to help her master look at the house, and followed the lady who kept wiping her tears to walk around the house, which was indeed excellent, the courtyard of Sanjin was not vast but it was also staggered with flowers and trees, and the hall and side rooms were also tall and sturdy, and the wenge wood furniture objects in it were very satisfactory to her, but it was ......
"Although we are merchants, but the ancestors of the three generations are innocent, Lang Jun said before his death, never dare to violate the family motto, that is, this house to sell to serious people, it will not be in vain to buy a ...... of his hard work" The lady cried so sadly, "If the master of your family takes a fancy to it, you might as well give a name post, the deed will be passed in these two days, and I can't afford to delay." ”
It's not that she can't afford to delay, she rushed back to Huaiyin to help the coffin, the road is far away and it is the time of the great heat, the lady said that it is only in these two days, if no one comes to buy, she has to give this house to distant relatives, after all, the days can not be delayed.
Zhan's mother is also anxious in her heart, such a good house, such a good price, I am afraid that it will never be rare anymore, and if you miss it, you can't find it.
But she doesn't have so much money and silver, not to mention that the family wants a name post, and decides whether she refuses to sell the house to a family that is still a slave, what should she do!
Sitting in the car, she thought and thought, until the coachman opened the curtain and asked where she went, she made up her mind: "Go to Yichun Fang Xiao Mansion." ”
I can't tell the eldest lady about this matter, so I can only ask Mrs. Xiao to help her, borrow Mrs. Xiao's name card and use it, and then take down the house first.
As for the money, she has been a housekeeper in the eldest lady's garden over the years, and her mother has gained a lot openly and secretly, and the rest is ...... I can't care so much about it!
The Jiang family's post was sent by Duran personally, Pei's has been in a good mood these days, and he is even happier to see his daughter come back, and ordered the kitchen to prepare a few dishes that Duran likes, and left her to eat in the house.
Du Lan was about to refuse, but when she came, her mother-in-law's face was not very good-looking, but when she saw that she was going to deliver a post, thinking that the Du family was also in-laws after all, and then she had to move around, so she waved her hand unhappily to let her out, but she also left a sentence: "...... The account books of the public middle school in the house are not finished yet, so you come back and go to the account room with Liao's mother to read the accounts. ”
But seeing that her mother was refreshed, and her eyebrows fluttered and she was talking to herself about the unfortunate things in the second room, she couldn't refuse, so she had to agree.
When Xiao Rongyue came over, she saw that outside the main door of Chunhua Garden, Sister-in-law Ke was turning in circles with her brows on her brows, and she didn't dare to step forward, looking embarrassed.
"What's going on?" She asked Sanqi to call Sister-in-law Ke over, and asked her with a smile, "I have something to go back to Mrs. Ke, why don't you go in?" ”
When Sister-in-law Ke saw her, she sighed again and again and complained of her bitterness: "The lady doesn't know anything, but now the house is really ...... In addition to the happy event this month, the family in the chef is only more than ten dollars, and he has to manage the food in each room, and the slave is barely maintained by calculating the deductions everywhere. ”
"But now as soon as the eldest lady came back, the eldest lady said that she wanted to prepare a few dishes, milk stuffed fish, chopsticks spring, and eight immortal plates...... This, where did this money come from, the slave is not allowed to eat in other gardens, and he can't prepare it. ”
Xiao Rongyue pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this: "This is really embarrassing, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." She looked at the main room and said, "It's just that the eldest lady is in it right now, if you go in and say this, sister-in-law, I'm afraid that the Ah family will be unhappy." ”
Sister-in-law Ke didn't know where she would, so she didn't dare to go in after a few hesitations, so she could only stare dryly: "That's good, it's going to be delayed." ”
Xiao Rongyue took Sanqi to the main room and left a message for her: "It's better to deal with the immediate matters, and the Ah family is afraid that they don't want to lose face in front of the eldest lady." ”
Sister-in-law Ke was stunned for a while, and she could only sigh and turn back to the chef, she could only deal with the front first, and she couldn't really go in and be scolded by the eldest lady.
Xiao Rongyue, who entered the main room, sat on the couch with her hands bowed calmly and sat on the couch with her hands crossed, and said with a smile: "Ah Jia, Chang'an has sent a letter, and several stewards have already arrived in the shop, and I think I will send the news back soon." ”
Pei Shi smiled a little: "That's good, that's good." ”
Du Lan said coldly: "That's Chang'an, we can't see how the shop is sold, what you say is what it is." ”
Xiao Rongyue smiled: "How come, those stewards are all capable, naturally they know the business in the shop, and the Ah family only needs to ask a few stewards if they have something in the future." ”
Duran pursed his lips and turned his head to talk to Pei about the Jiang family's post: "...... It's the old lady's birthday, Ah Gong said that it coincides with the birthday, Da Lang just got the order, and he wants to be transferred to Shangyuan County as the county leader, and he can finally come back, so he has to do it. ”
Pei Shi was also happy when he heard it: "Okay, okay, Jiang Dalang is back, and your life will be better, your mother-in-law can't be difficult for you in front of him." ”
She stared at Duran's belly: "It won't take long for you to have good news." ”
In front of Xiao Rongyue, Du Lan was a little embarrassed, the most she couldn't hold up in the Jiang family was that her stomach hadn't moved a little in the past few years since she got married, and it was useless to look forward to it day and night.
Xiao Rongyue was still smiling, as if she hadn't heard it, but she interjected: "The Jiang family sent a post?" Mrs. Jiang is going to have a birthday? ”
Pei Shi suddenly remembered the birthday ceremony, and hurriedly said: "Yes, you should help me share my worries when you marry into the door, and the matter of this birthday ceremony will be arranged by you, you must be decent, and you can't embarrass your sister and our Du family." ”
Xiao Rongyue lowered her eyes: "What Ah Jia said is true." ”
Seeing that she didn't say much, Pei Shi was relieved and continued to talk to her daughter about family life, no longer paying attention to the ignorant Xiao Rongyue.
The three of them were sitting, Camellia came in quickly, his face was full of anxiety, he gave Pei Shi and Du Lan a rough salute, stood behind Xiao Rongyue, and whispered in her ear, but after three or two sentences, even Xiao Rongyue's face became solemn.
Duran didn't care, but Pei Shi paid attention, and only heard a few words with his ears pricked up: "...... If you come from Chang'an, you will soon arrive in Jiangning City, and you will need five hundred ......."
Before she could hear the truth, Xiao Rongyue had already gotten up and crossed her hands and saluted: "Ah Jia, I still have some urgent matters over there, so I will retire first, and I will accompany Ah Jia and Ah Sister to have dinner another day." ”
After she finished speaking, she couldn't even care about Pei's words, and hurriedly went out with Camellia and Sanqi.
Du Lan became more and more annoyed: "A-Niang, this merchant girl has become more and more unruly, so she left like this......"
Pei Shi tightened his brows and instructed Bai Zhi: "Let people pay attention to Qiushiyuan and see what she is going to do." ”
