Chapter 19: Something Went Wrong
"Madam, several aunts have come to menstruation, and the old slave has already ordered to go down and restore the previous rules." In Qingfeng Garden, Zheng leaned on the soft couch, with a small table in front of him, and a booklet on it.
If someone else is here, the booklet will be put away, and it will be okay if Mama Kang is near.
"Useless stuff!" Closing the booklet, Zheng frowned, obviously unhappy.
Not only because the concubines came to menstruation, no one sent out the good news this month, but more because there was trouble.
The Zheng family is in charge of the feed, which means that there are a lot of rights in her hands, except for Mama Kang, others do not know that she will take the monthly rules of everyone in the house to go out to lend money every month.
Although the big room is not there, it is still inseparable from people, and the second room goes out with some, but there are a lot of things left, plus the third room, these silver are gathered together, and it is not a small number.
Take out the loan, it is only short-term, you can recover it in the same month, and you can also get the profit.
The money naturally went into her pocket.
In the two years that she has been in charge of the feed, it has always been like this, and there has never been a problem, but this month has not been very smooth, someone has borrowed a large amount of money, and it has not been repaid until now.
It seems that the day of the moon is about to arrive, in addition, the birthday of Zhang Luo's second uncle Shen Xu also needs a lot of silver.
That's it, the key is the money that should be obtained, and there is a shortage this month, the other party refused to give it according to the original documents, and she didn't dare to speak out, so she had to admit that she was unlucky.
"Madame, what's the matter?" As soon as Mama Kang entered the house, she saw the booklet in front of Zheng, and then saw that her face was not very good-looking, so she knew that there might be something wrong with the loan.
"Don't mention it!" Zheng sighed, and told Mama Kang about the matter very upset.
"Seeing that it is the day of the lunar calendar, there has never been a lack of punctuality, let alone now that the second uncle is back, there must be no mistakes."
"It's just that this money can't be recovered so far, how dare I make a big fuss?" Zheng's taking the monthly loan in the house, even Shen Pei didn't know, of course she didn't dare to make a big fuss.
"How about sending someone to urge you again?" After thinking about it, Mama Kang gave an idea.
"Why didn't you rush it? I urged more than once, but there was still no movement, Mama, I am not sure, you can help me think of a rut again. ”
The rest of the people were all dismissed, only Mama Kang was left, Mama Kang frowned, thought for a while, and said tentatively: "Otherwise, you can only use your private money." ”
The profits of the past two years have gone into Zheng's pocket, and she should have money in her hands.
It's just that she has this money herself, and Mama Kang doesn't know how much it is.
"How can I have any private money?" Speaking of this, Zheng's face was even more unsightly.
Mama Kang looked surprised, and then suddenly said, "You...... You've got all the supplies over there? ”
Mama Kang is Zheng's dowry grandmother, so she naturally knows about her mother's family.
Although it was from the Zheng family, Mama Kang was even more towards the Zheng family, and often persuaded her to keep some for herself, and not to make up for it.
Zheng agreed, but he still didn't leave it for himself, Mama Kang sighed, and her face was ugly.
"Otherwise, there's only one way." It took a long time for her to speak, but she was hesitant in her heart.
"What's the method?" Zheng looked at her, Mama Kang had followed her for many years and gave a lot of ideas.
"Find something to pawn, settle the matter in front of you first, and then redeem it." She said what she had in mind, and Zheng's brow furrowed even deeper.
It's easy to say, but ...... But what do you do? "The Zheng family was also a family, but it has been passed down for generations, and the family foundation has long been hollowed out.
When the Zheng family got married, they looked like they had raised a lot of dowry, but in fact, there was nothing in it.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have relied on them to make up for it all these years.
"You're in charge of the feeder, and you're holding the key in your hand. We don't have any good things on hand, but there are a lot of things in this big house and the second room. ”
"At the moment, the big house is not there, and no one will count the warehouse, you pick one or two things, and add the hole in front of you first. As for the future, before the big house returns, you will settle the matter, and it will be done. ”
This is the best way that Mama Kang can come up with right now, she doesn't dare to worry about the second room, after all, the second room is there, but the big room is not there, which is the best goal.
When she said this, Zheng was speechless for a while, but looking at her expression, she was obviously thinking seriously.
"Let's do it." After a while, Zheng answered and made up his mind.
The master and servant never thought of going over to find Xiao Zheng's family, after all, they couldn't let anyone know about lending money every month.
The matter was handed over to Mama Kang, but the Zheng family was the master, and it was impossible to do such a thing in person.
Besides, let others do it, and if something really goes wrong, they can all be pushed out.
Mama Kang herself also knew that she was naturally careful and attentive, but as soon as she left the Shen Mansion on her front foot, someone told Shen Yunlan about it on her back foot.
"Let people stare at it, see which one they went to, and write down the name." After getting the news, Shen Yunlan commanded.
The one who did the work for her was the atractylodes in the second-class maid sent by Aunt Fang before.
A few days ago, she asked Aunt Le to find out the personalities of the maids in Changxin Garden, and then report it to her.
Cangshu has a pungent temperament, but he is extremely careful, and his popularity among the maids is good, which is exactly what Shen Yunlan needs, so he handed over the matter of staring at Qingfeng Yuan to her.
Cangshu was very happy to be able to do things for her master, and she had Shen Yunlan's promise that when the matter was done, she was brought to serve and be a big girl, and she became more and more dedicated.
She is a child of the family, her parents are both errand workers in the house, she grew up in the house since she was a child, and her popularity is very good, so it is very easy to ask someone to help or something.
In Jinhuayuan before, Shen Yunlan discussed with Shen Yunjin to deal with the Zheng family, which was another matter.
Later, when she returned to Changxin Garden, she remembered another incident, so she made two preparations.
When Cangshu retreated, Shen Yunlan took out the calligraphy and continued to practice calligraphy.
"Girl." Lilac came in from outside the door and leaned over to the desk, where Aunt Le was not there.
Shen Xu returned home, and the two housekeepers beside him also came back, and Shen Yunlan gave Aunt Le three days off so that she could reunite with her husband.
Since you want to use people, in addition to using people where they should be used, you must also learn to generalize, so that the other party is more willing to do things for you.
For Aunt Le, what she wants most at the moment is to reunite with her husband, and Shen Yunlan will satisfy her.
With the convenience given by her master, she will naturally be more dedicated, and her man is by her father's side, of course, he will be more dedicated to them.
Shen Yunlan heard Lilac's voice, but when she practiced calligraphy, she never looked up, so she just responded.
"Girl!" Seeing that Shen Yunlan didn't look up at her, Lilac was a little anxious, and couldn't help but reach out and grab Shen Yunlan's pen......
