(247) The little ghost is difficult

Old Madam Meng glanced at Zhang Qingting deeply with her wise and vicissitudes of old eyes, but her face became more and more relaxed, "Okay, just according to what she said, remember to call someone to guard their door, if there is anything convenient to pass on." If you give me another word, no one is allowed to be pretentious! People come all the way to study and seek medical treatment, where can they withstand these formations of our family? Let me know that someone dares to slack off on the slightest idea, and he will skin him! ”

Zhang Qingting knew that this was the heart of those subordinates who asked them to eat and take cards, so very good.

After having lunch together, Mrs. Meng sent someone to send them over to rest. That Tangtang Courtyard is a small courtyard, just on the corner of Mengfu, all the furniture is complete, and it is a faction of its own when the door is locked, which is very convenient.

Look at how many rooms there are, Zhang Qingting doesn't let anyone open the door, she and Zhao Chengcai naturally have one, Zhao Yulian has one, and another one is for Niu Dewang to live, let Baozhu go with him as a companion, plus a small kitchen, a few people are enough. and asked the girls of the Meng Mansion to collect all the vase decorations in their room in front of the housekeeper Aunt Zhou, and no matter how much they were lost or damaged, they couldn't rely on them.

That Aunt Zhou had already been instructed by Mrs., smiled lightly and let Zhang Qingting do what she said, and worked for more than an hour before cleaning it up, Zhang Qingting saw that the house was empty, except for tables, chairs and benches, there was nothing else, so she was comfortable, "Aunt Zhou, don't laugh at it, we countrymen don't know the rules, and we don't know what to do, and those good things are a waste to put us here, but it's better to be so clear and quiet!" ”

Aunt Zhou sneered, "If Xiucai doesn't understand the rules, then we really don't dare to come out to meet people." Stay in peace, and if anything, just let the little girls come to me! ”

She took the key to them, and Zhang Qingting, who was connected to the garden gate, resolutely refused to accept it, "If there is anything, we can just say hello, and you are still in charge of the portal over there!" ”

Aunt Zhou knew that she wanted to avoid suspicion, so she took the key and took someone away, and the family in this house breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Chengcai's first sentence was, "Lady, you did it too right!" If you have to eat with their family every day, it is estimated that your husband will lose ten pounds in a month! Looking at that table of dishes, I was embarrassed to eat enough! ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, Zhao Yulian covered her mouth and smiled, "Don't talk about big brother, just me!" ”

Or your own family is at ease together! Zhang Qingting is now also accustomed to a free and easy life, and feels that although the previous life is rich and beautiful, it is not so worthy of nostalgia. Speaking of which, I don't know if that Zhang Dragonfly can have a full meal in Nankangguo?

Packed up the luggage, the kitchen firewood, rice, oil and salt were all prepared for them, and they were thinking about whether to buy some food and come back, but they saw two rough girls carrying baskets and sending a few boxes of fruit snacks and vegetables and fish, "This fruit and snacks are specially given by the old lady to send the young master Niu to eat and play, and the dishes are sent by the lady, she said that it is late tonight, I am afraid that you are not familiar with the place, and you don't know where to buy, so I will send these to you first." If there's anything missing, just tell us! ”

Zhang Qingting thanked him, picked a few pieces from the snack and gave them to the two girls, they were so frightened that they waved their hands again and again, resolutely refusing. Zhang Qingting felt funny, but he also saw that this old lady Meng was still very authoritative at home, and no one dared to disobey what she said.

helped make dinner together, Baozhu saw that he stopped, and deliberately asked the housewife to hand over a red envelope, "These two taels of silver were rewarded by the housekeeper of Mengfu when I entered the door, I said no, but he said that this is the rule, and he forced it to me." ”

Zhang Qingting took the silver and smiled slightly, and gave him another amount of money, "You keep this, since we arrive in the capital, you have to follow us around, and you can't help but carry some money with you." Half of it will cost you your own pocket money, and half of it will take the fee for hiring a sedan chair on the road. In the past, I also taught you to keep accounts and count at home, from tomorrow, your own share is not counted, how much our family spends, you have to keep an account, give me a count at night, and I will naturally give it to you if the money is not enough. You're our little butler here, can you handle it? ”

Baozhu hesitated, a little timid, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do ...... well."

Zhang Qingting encouraged him with a smile, "It's okay, you are already a clever person, otherwise you would not have picked you to serve by Xianggong's side." But if you are careful, you just have the wrong beginning, and you won't be given money to compensate? It's also a small punishment and a big precept, mainly so that you can have a long memory! Even if you come out, you can't open your eyes, and you have to experience how to deal with people. In the future, there will be many places for our family to use you to do great things! ”

Baozhu nodded, took the money and went back to collect it, and then found a pen and paper to prepare for accounting.

When he went out, Zhao Chengcai smiled and said, "Just a few of us, how many things can we do?" You're really going to be a carouser! ”

Zhang Qingting glanced at him, "You think I'm lazy?" These people, since they are sold to our family, they are also our people. Let them learn more, it will be good for the future! Speaking of which, I'm still worried about you! If you don't hurry up and train it out, wait for you to take the exam tomorrow, but there will be times when you are worried! ”

"I'm just telling you a joke! Count me too much, right? Zhao Chengcai smiled and begged for mercy, and talked about business, "Ming'er, I want to go to Lord Lou's mansion to pay a visit, and then pass the word to Ah Li, I have a matter on my mind first." Old Man Fang will have to talk about it later. Then are you accompanying Wang'er Yulian to see a doctor tomorrow? ”

Zhang Qingting thought for a while, "Ming'er doesn't say anything else in the morning, I have to go grocery shopping with Baozhu first." Lord Lou should go to the yamen office in the morning, and you may not be able to see it. It's better for you to wait for us to come back from grocery shopping, and go shopping in Beijing together, just drop by and deliver a post. If he had time, he would have sent for you. Let's see the illness, shall we go and pass the word to Ah Li? ”

Zhao Chengcai nodded, went to write a post, and suddenly became curious, "How do you know the rules of these government people so clearly?" ”

Zhang Qingting raised his eyebrows and smiled, "This girl was born to be well-informed!" ”

Zhao Chengcai shook his head with a smile, "Love to say it or not, whatever you know, it's still my wife!" ”

The little couple was laughing, but they saw someone knocking on the door outside, Baozhu went to open the door, but it was a small servant from Mengfu, and he specially sent a famous post, "My lord is busy with official business in the court during the day, and he only returns in the evening, I heard that the distinguished guests have arrived, and I said that I will have a banquet for Zhao Gongzi and his wife's family tonight." I just heard that you are tired from the journey, so I sent a small one to say, tomorrow night I have prepared a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, please enjoy the light if necessary! ”

Zhao Chengcai took the post and thanked him, and the little guy went to reply.

Zhang Qingting said, "Then we don't have to buy vegetables tomorrow, we will eat out at noon, get things done, and come back early in the afternoon to prepare." ”

I cleaned up and went to sleep, and the next morning I simply burned breakfast and used it, and sent Baozhu to talk to the mother-in-law who was guarding the door at the end of the Meng Mansion, locked the door, and the family went out.

Because he didn't know the distance, he hired a car and asked the driver for several addresses, and he happened to know them all, among which Yan Bowen said that the place was the closest and the pharmacy was the farthest. Let's go and spread the word first!

In the capital, even a little coachman is well-informed and likes to show off. Seeing that Zhao Chengcai was also a scholar, he asked, "Could it be that you also have an old relationship with Master Yan's family and begged him to be supported by the old man?" ”

Peaceful...... Taishi?! Zhao Chengcai shook his head again and again, "We are just entrusted by someone to send a letter." ”

"That's it?" The coachman was so strange and a little unbelieving, "That Yan family is the prince of the Three Dynasties!" The teaching is all the princes and grandsons, you have acquaintances, why don't you go and climb the road? ”

Zhao Chengcai was shocked in his heart, it turned out that Ah Li was such a scholarly family! But it was not good to inquire about other people's sad pasts, only to hear the coachman still muttering pity, only smiling and shaking his head and saying that he couldn't climb high.

When they arrived at the mouth of the alley, Zhao Chengcai asked his younger brothers and sisters to wait in the car, and took Zhang Qingting and Baozhu with him. Thinking that it is an old mother, it is easier to talk if there is a female relative.

This alley is close to the back door of a large house, looking at the deep courtyard of the house over there, and the Meng Mansion is not too much, I think it is the Yan Mansion. This alley should also be the property of Yanfu, so the coachman asked as soon as he saw the address.

Although the small alley is secluded, there are many hawkers who carry burdens, some sell food, some sell pearl flower butter powder, and some talented children are mischievous there.

Seeing Zhao Chengcai's strange look, Zhang Qingting quietly explained, "The back door of this big family is the best way to do business. You think, in this house, the masters up and down bring hundreds of slaves, and they are tired of eating things at home, and they often have to buy some small gadgets such as snacks and needlework outside, if you are used to doing it here, it is stronger than outside! ”

Zhao Chengcai suddenly realized that Zhang Qingting had already called a child and asked, "Is there a Grandma Zhu here, is she at home?" ”

Listening to her question, a group of children gathered around, "I know! I know! The handful-armed pulled them, pushed them to a door, and shouted, "This is Mama Zhu's house!" ”

When they arrived at the place, they still held on to their clothes, Zhao Chengcai didn't understand what they meant, but Zhang Qingting smiled, "Baozhu, take these children to that burden, and buy a piece of maltose for each person!" ”

Hearing her say this, the children let go and followed the pillar in a swarm. Zhao Chengcai didn't feel it, "This is really a good sight for the king of Hades, the little ghost is difficult!" ”

A little girl from Mama Zhu's house came out and blocked the door, her bony eyes couldn't help but look at them, "Who are you?" What's the matter with Mama? ”

Zhang Qingting asked rhetorically, "Isn't Mama Zhu at home?" We were commissioned to bring a letter. ”

The little girl was not afraid of life, and immediately asked, "Who is it?" ”

Zhang Qingting thought that Yan Bowen had been expelled from the house after all, and his reputation was indecent, and he looked at the idle people on the left and right, so he said, "Can you let us come in and talk?" Just say two words, and we'll go. ”(！ )
