Chapter 225: Door-to-door debt collection
The New Year is approaching in a blink of an eye, because this is the last year of filial piety for the Lord of Pingyang.
Although the Yuguo Mansion did not operate in a big way, it was much more lively than usual.
Mrs. Cui was even more unprecedented, and when she was a child, she asked Yang Qiqi to return to the Yuguo Mansion to prepare for a reunion festival.
Yang Qiqi pondered to himself, it must have been Aunt Huixi's warning that played a role. Mrs. Cui took advantage of the New Year to give her a step and give herself a step, but she just made a show for the Queen Mother.
The girls' school began to suspend classes in the month of Lunar New Year, and will not resume until February 2 of the following year. Yang Qiqi suddenly became idle, and his life became extremely boring.
"Before the death day of the ancestor passed, the second aunt was lively and lively Zhang Luo for the New Year. It's really chilling to be a heartless person in the end! Yang Qinghuan stood in the inner room of Qiguang Building, his fingers pointed at the water droplets, sprinkled on the plum plant, and sighed unhurriedly.
Yang Qiqi sneered and said, "Hasn't she always been a chilling person?" ”
"People like the second aunt really don't know how to teach people to say good. If I had a mother like that, I might as well be killed by a headlong run! Yang Yuru's expression was very disgusted.
Yang Qinghuan put down the white porcelain bowl, turned around and glanced at Yang Qiqi, with a bit of reproach, and said slowly: "You, it's really true!" Such a good shop, why did it give it to the second aunt? You can see that she is making money now, and she is soft in her hands, followed by Yang Yuyan and Yang Jingqian, and her hands are also extraordinarily generous, and the annual rewards for the second room this year are extraordinarily large. But what about you, she snatched the shop from you, but she gave you the silver? ”
Yang Qiqi shook his head and said with a smile: "The second lady will take money from others, when did you see her giving money out?" She also hated me for squandering her 300,000 taels of silver, not to mention giving me a subsidy, it's okay if I don't deduct it! ”
Yang Yuru's expression was even more disgusted, and she said mockingly: "The second aunt is really blind! obviously recognizes you as a daughter, but you always do those things that beat your mouth. I'm afraid that others don't know how big your identity is! ”
"There will always be times when she suffers! Not to mention anything else, how much money she has earned now, she will have to pay it out in the future! Yang Qiqi smiled mysteriously, meaning something.
Yang Qinghuan said: "What do you say? You've got a backhand! ”
Yang Qiqi naturally didn't hide from Yang Qinghuan and Yang Yuru, and said with a smile: "Right now, let's go faster, maybe we can still see the excitement!" ”
Yang Qinghuan saw that she looked funny, and she was even more curious, and asked with a half-smile, "What's the matter?" ”
Yang Qiqi didn't speak directly, but stood up slowly and said, "Let's go out and have a look first." ”
Before her words landed, Yang Qinghuan's first right-hand Zizhu entered the door and said, "Girl, I don't know why there was a commotion in front of you." Many people were in the main hall with the business deed, shouting to invite the second lady out! ”
Yang Qinghuan didn't expect Yang Qiqi to come so soon, she looked at her in surprise, and asked with a smile, "This is your backhand?" ”
Yang Qiqi had already put on the fox fur unhurriedly, and said with a smile while tying his belt: "Yes, I am the housekeeper of the major restaurants and some families, and they are still small characters!" ”
Yang Qinghuan couldn't wait to see Mrs. Li's anxious appearance, she quickly asked people to take the big hat, draped it on her body as she walked, and said, "Then let's hurry up and see the big role." ”
Yang Qiqi thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Who knows when the big role will come today, and whether it will come!" ”
After a short time, several people rushed to the main hall.
Yu Guogong was called to the palace because of Nanliang's affairs. Only the third master Yang Xuan, the Yang family's housekeeper Yang Xuan, Li Kangping, and Li Yuanzhong were left in the front yard.
Seeing Yang Qiqi and others enter the door, Li Yuanzhong's family breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly turned the spearhead of these people on Yang Qiqi's body, and said: "What you want to say, just talk to the seven girls of our family." She is the owner of the shop, and she can be the master. Li Yuanzhong said, and reported to the seven girls with extra respect: "Girl, these people have ordered white sugar in our shop, but the amount of our inventory is not enough to pay, and I don't know how, they all went to the door together." Look, what is going to happen to this? ”
Without waiting for Yang Qiqi to speak, one of the men took the lead and said: "This business deed is printed with your Li Yuanzhong's name, as well as the private seal of the general affairs of the Yuguo Mansion." Something went wrong, I naturally want to find you, what does it have to do with her little girl? ”
Li Yuanzhong was a little confused, and explained again sneeringly, "She is the owner of the shop, and those goods and orders are all her next." Naturally it has something to do with her! ”
Someone shouted again: "We don't care, you took this list, without the name of Yang Qi, we can only look for you, we can only find the Yuguo Mansion." ”
The words of these people are naturally very reasonable, but Li Yuanzhong secretly plans to throw this matter on Yang Qiqi.
Yang Xuan really couldn't stand Li Yuanzhong's wit here, so he immediately coughed and said, "You go to the account room and check all the goods on the list." How much silver is the list, and if there is no goods, how much silver is owed before and after. Tomorrow, please come to the mansion again, and our Yuguo Mansion will inevitably give you an explanation. ”
Li Yuanzhong and Li Kangping were busy echoing Yang Xuan's words and followed the round.
And during this whole process, Mrs. Li never came out and said a word. After Yang Xuan pacified these people and left, Li Yuanzhong breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yang Xuan: "Third master, since everyone is gone, let's ask the second lady to come out and talk now!" ”
Yang Xuan glanced at Li Yuanzhong unkindly, and said in a sullen voice: "When the account room has an explanation, after Yu Guogong comes back, it's not too late for us to talk about it." Yang Xuan's attitude was obviously not going to say anything to Mrs. Li.
Yang Yuru saw her father look like this, and after leaving the main courtyard with Yang Qiqi and Yang Qinghuan, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and whispered: "My father is not very happy!" It's not angry yet, but it's almost there! She said, quite a bit to see Mrs. Li's joke, and said, "Let's go, go to the main courtyard of the third room and stay for a while, and when someone comes to send a letter to my father, we can also know as soon as possible." ”
Yang Qinghuan and Yang Qiqi did not object, and followed Yang Yuru to the courtyard of the third room.
At that time, the third lady was also busy inside and outside the small kitchen, and the three of them and Yang Xuan almost went to the third room. Before I could enter the door, I heard a voice coming from the main room.
"What's going on up ahead?"
"The grain and oil shop that the second sister-in-law just took over signed several orders with others. But the goods in the warehouse can't reach it at all, and the delivery day has passed four or five days, and it is the end of the year, which is the time when each family has a feast to go to relatives, and the business of restaurants is booming. Tell me, can these shopkeepers not come to make trouble? Not to mention, the two big shopkeepers of the Guijin Building in Luoyang are here, as well as the Baijulou, these shopkeepers have been very close to the princes and scholars recently, and they don't know who is supporting them behind them. Left and right is a difficult thing! ”
Mrs. Chu didn't quite understand, and asked Yang Xuan, "The goods can't be reached, so I hurried into a batch, I signed so many orders at the beginning, but I didn't calculate how many goods I could pay people?" ”
Yang Xuan sneered and said, "Who knows what the hell is thinking!" ”
Yang Yuru entered the door with a smile and answered: "What can you think, it must be that the second aunt and her stewards are reluctant to give up this money!" is insatiable, and as a result, he shoots himself in the foot. ”
When Mrs. Chu heard Yang Yuru speak, her face sank slightly, and she reminded her, "What are you talking about!" Carefully let the people on your second aunt's side hear it, it's another right and wrong! ”
Yang Qiqi smiled, bowed to Mrs. Chu and Yang Xuan, and said to Yang Xuan with special gratitude: "Today's matter, thanks to the third uncle for helping me speak." Otherwise, with Li Yuanzhong's slave, I don't know how to push the responsibility on me! ”
Yang Xuan nodded gently, and comforted her: "Don't take it to heart, although this Li Yuanzhong is beside the second lady, he is also a person who has never done business, and it is inevitable that he will be confused for a while." Moreover, these lists are written in Li Yuanzhong's name, and the private seal is also the private seal of the Yuguo Mansion. Understand people, who will let you pay for it? ”
Mrs. Chu was also very amiable and comforted Yang Qiqi and said, "It's not! Even if someone wants to sue the yamen in the future, it will be Li Yuanzhong and his second wife's business! Besides, you have already given the shop to the second lady, and those orders were signed when you were there? ”
Yang Qiqi shook his head.
Mrs. Chu let out a long breath and said happily: "Then it's even more to blame you!" "She is like that, she is really worried about Yang Qiqi.
Yang Qiqi's heart is very warm, but he feels that except for the second girl's outlier, it is not unreasonable for the third room to be so harmonious!
Yang Qinghuan also encouraged Yang Qiqi and said, "It's not! If something happens to the left and right, you still go back to live in another hospital, I think it's better to live in another hospital if you live in our house! ”
Yang Qiqi naturally had such thoughts, but he didn't plan to tell them all his ideas.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside, saying, "Father, mother, Xiangyu has come to pay tribute to you." "It sounds like Yang Jingtan.
Yang Qiqi guessed that Xu is Yang Jingtan heard the sound of talking in the house, and was afraid that suddenly bringing Lu Yixuan into the door would surprise several sisters in the family, so he first announced it loudly.
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Since you are a visitor, please come in yet!" Your sisters have also seen Xiangyu. ”
Yang Qiqi was extremely curious, according to Xinyang Hou's relationship with the second room and the third room in the future, he should go to Yang Fu and Mrs. Li to worship the early years, what are you doing in the third room.
