Chapter 266: Misfortune is not a one-way street

Xinyang Hou Lu Yixuan followed the second young master Yang Jingtan into the door, and saw Yang Qiqi at a glance, and couldn't help but smile and said, "The seventh sister is also here."

When Yang Yuru heard this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and teased: "Master Hou, it's not just my seventh sister here. Didn't you see me and my fifth sister? ”

Lu Yixuan naturally explained: "The fourth sister and the fifth sister are common, but the seventh sister seems to have not seen each other for a long time. ”

Yang Jingtan heard this, coughed slightly, and said: "Xiangyu was supposed to go to the second uncle and second aunt to say goodbye first, but the second uncle was not there, and we heard that there was a trouble in the front yard, which was related to the second aunt, so he thought about going again on the first day of the new year, and he didn't want to come in vain, so he came to pay a New Year's greeting to his father and mother." ”

Mrs. Chu was particularly enthusiastic and said, "In the future, they are all in-laws, and it is appropriate to move around often." It just so happened that the kitchen had just made some new oilfruits, so I asked them to prepare some for them. ”

Lu Yixuan was a little cramped, and said with a smile: "Third lady, I came suddenly, don't treat me deliberately." ”

Yang Jingtan said with a smile: "Please give you two a farewell, let's go and sit in my yard, it just so happens that the three younger sisters are also there, why don't you go and have a cup of tea together?" ”

Yang Yuru didn't want to talk with Xinyang Hou for tea, Yang Qinghuan didn't have much to do with him, so he simply said: "Let's go to the fourth sister's room to sit and go, and the second brother and Xinyang will take care of themselves." ”

Lu Yixuan looked at Yang Qiqi with a faint expression, and didn't say anything, he wanted to say and stopped, and finally followed Yang Jingtan away.

The three sisters were also different from Yang Xuan and the others, and only entered the small warm pavilion where the Chu clan sat on weekdays to talk.

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Qinghuan asked Yang Qiqi with interest, "How did you do it?" The second aunt has been taking care of the housework for so many years, and she can always distinguish between a profitable business and a loss-making business, right? If there is a matter of supply, how can there be a sign of the order and the goods cannot be sent? ”

Yang Qiqi smiled slowly and said, "The business I do is naturally a profitable business, but when I think of Mrs. Li, I have a lot of worries in my heart, so I have already set up another shop and is doing the same business." The account books checked by the second lady are all real profits. But who asked her to replace several of the big shopkeepers I am used to, and people are looking for other jobs, it's no wonder that I. When I went to another shop, I naturally took away the source of goods I was holding. In business, it has always been so cunning. The second lady has been in charge of general affairs for so many years, and she also has a lot of shops under her hands, so she doesn't understand this truth. I only sigh, she guards me like a thief. If she didn't have this mind, where would she suffer this loss and fall for this? ”

Yang Qinghuan heard Yang Qiqi's words, slapped his face happily, and applauded again and again: "It's all a trap, and the second aunt got into it herself." What could she say, she had to break her teeth and swallow blood, and no matter how much pain she had in her stomach, she swallowed it all. ”

Yang Yuru was a little ignorant, and asked Yang Qinghuan rhetorically: "But with so much money, how can the second aunt accompany her, and don't you take our family's money to accompany her?" ”

"Congratulations," Yang Qinghuan bowed his hand to Yang Yuru slightly, and said happily: "Our family is going to change a housekeeper this time?" ”

Yang Yuru understood it after her dialed it like this, but she was a little incredulous: "Change my mother again?" Forget it, when my ancestors were there, my mother's housekeeper still had a backer. Now that my grandmother is like that, you all know that it seems that only the second room is her own, and we are all concubines, and we are all brought from outside. ”

Yang Qinghuan shook his head and sighed: "Even if grandmother is kind to the second aunt, she can't tolerate it, the second aunt has lost so much silver." ”

Yang Qiqi smiled and added: "The rule I set before, if the supply is not available, our grain and oil shops will make up for it at the price of one to five. Not to mention anything else, but the lists of Baixilou and Guijinlou were signed with 20,000 taels and 30,000 taels of silver respectively. ”

Yang Yuru asked in great surprise: "So many?" ”

Yang Qiqi said: "This is a year's volume of goods, they have a lot of banquets every day, and the price of sugar in the north is high, so naturally there is so much silver." Now according to 20,000 taels and 30,000 taels, the total is 250,000 taels. ”

Yang Qinghuan gloated and said, "These are just two families, there are other families." ”

Yang Yuru sighed distractedly: "If Baijulou and Guijinlou are both small numbers, then who else are the big characters?" ”

"There is also the palace, the imperial dining room and the monk food bureau." Yang Qiqi spoke unhurriedly.

These words really shocked Yang Qinghuan and Yang Yuru, "You...... Still in the same palace? ”

Yang Qiqi nodded naturally, "This kind of white sugar is not found in Dayan, but only in Xianbei, so it is difficult for ordinary merchants to buy the supply." Moreover, there is a large amount of silver in the middle. At the beginning, it was also He Jiashaodong who was doing it, and I just came up with an idea. ”

Yang Qinghuan couldn't help but sigh: "Qiqi, you are really amazing." Give this shop to the second aunt, you even thought about it, and thought of it so much, these traps are really a quasi-one. even thought so far ahead, and she couldn't grasp it afterwards. ”

Yang Qiqi shook his head very disapprovingly, and said, "No matter what I do, the second lady will feel that it is inseparable from me." She would become more and more suspicious of me, and she would attack me more and more in the future. So, sooner or later, the second lady will not be able to resist it and tear her face with me. ”

Yang Qinghuan smiled and said, "That's better, if the second lady can't help it." There is only good for you, no harm. But after the queen mother and the emperor reprimanded, she couldn't say it first. The happiest thing is that she made the wrong idea herself, and she has to swallow this bitter fruit by herself! ”

A few people were talking, and a big girl from Chu's side came in and said: "Girl, the account room has been calculated clearly, according to one to five, if it can't be reached, it will be necessary to pay six or seven hundred thousand taels before and after." ”

Yang Yuru was drinking tea, and when she heard this, she choked on a mouthful of water and coughed for a long time.

The big girl said again: "The third master said, when Yu Guogong comes back, go to the old lady's house together, after all, it is a big deal." First, our father-in-law does not have 600,000 or 700,000 taels of silver. The second is that this transaction was originally Mrs. Li's own. At the beginning, we left our family's private seal, also because the second lady's private seal could not be easily left outside. ”

The three of them were waiting, and Mrs. Li was obviously a little unable to sit still, so she took Li Yuanzhong and his wife directly to the third room.

As soon as the maid finished talking, another little girl came to invite the three sisters to the main hall.

Mrs. Li looked angry, entered the door of the main hall of the third room, and asked the third lady directly, "Where is the seventh girl?" ”

The Chu family looked down on her because Mrs. Li occupied Yang Qiqi's grain and oil shop, and her expression was extremely indifferent, "The sisters are talking in the warm pavilion, what is the second sister-in-law coming here for?" ”

Mrs. Li said directly to Yang Xuan: "Third brother, you helped deal with this matter, and after the disposal is over, you have to give me a reply." ”

Yang Xuan secretly sneered in his heart, when it was time for you to come forward, you didn't show your face, but at this time, you came to the third room to show off your might.

Mrs. Li's expression was impatient that could not be concealed, and seeing that Yang Xuan did not speak, she reluctantly accompanied her smiling face, and said, "This matter is my own business, and I just bothered the third brother to help me come forward, thank you so much." ”

"Third sister-in-law, you use the private seal of the general affairs of the Yuguo Mansion on your list. There were 600,000 or 700,000 taels of silver involved, which was not a small amount. Yang Fu emphasized to Mrs. Li: "I still have to make this matter clear to my mother and second brother. ”

Mrs. Li immediately objected: "It's just this silver, I naturally have my own way." I'll take Qiqi back and discuss it with her, after all, this shop is also her shop. ”

Yang Xuan was very ashamed of Mrs. Li, and immediately reminded her: "Second sister-in-law, this shop has gone to the government to complete the formalities, and now it is yours." That is, in the name of the general affairs of the Yuguo Mansion, you received the shop. It's no longer Qiqi's shop, no matter how you pull it, you can't pull it on her head! ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she couldn't help but her face sank, she was very unhappy, and just about to say something, Yang Qiqi, Yang Yuru, and Yang Qinghuan came over from the warm pavilion, saw Mrs. Li, and greeted her in unison.

When Mrs. Li saw Yang Qiqi, her eyes were extraordinarily bright as if a fierce beast had seen its prey. immediately stepped forward and grabbed Yang Qiqi and said, "Seven girls, this shop is yours, what should I do about this matter, you always have a charter!" Let's go back, and you can talk to me carefully. ”

Yang Qiqi shook his head, bit his lip and said, "Mother, I don't have a good idea about what to do about this matter." In the past, the big shopkeepers were in charge, and I didn't even turn over the account books. Moreover, these goods are also in the hands of those big shopkeepers. I had never signed an order before, and the goods were not available, but today's incident is the first time I have encountered it. ”

Mrs. Li's eyes became cold unconsciously, and she took Yang Qiqi's hand and held it tighter.

"You won't be left without a solution, this is your shop. Mother wants to come over, just for you to keep it, and when you marry to the Yongping Marquis Mansion in the future, it will naturally be used as a dowry for you. Now that something has happened, the shop is all over. ”

Yang Qiqi raised his eyebrows and asked Mrs. Li rhetorically: "Mother, the shop was fine when it was transferred to you, how could such a thing happen." ”

Mrs. Li quibbled: "There must have been a problem before you turned around, and besides, why didn't you tell me anything about the goods in the hands of those big shopkeepers." ”

Yang Qiqi said: "I also said it, but you didn't listen to it at all." Besides, I'm afraid that if you talk too much, you think that I don't plan to give you a shop. ”

Mrs. Li was simply annoyed and angry, and was about to have a seizure, when Li Kangping's family suddenly hurriedly came to the courtyard of the third room, and said to Mrs. Li: "Madam, Grandpa Guo is back!" It was sent back by the people in the inner palace, and the person who came also said that our third young master is gone! ”
