Chapter 235: No Silver, It's Miserable
"Madam, don't worry, I will definitely arrange it." Yan Xingsheng nodded, in fact, he was quite afraid that Mu Chonglan's mind would be hot and he would settle the Liu family, you must know that many courtyards in the Xiao Mansion at this time have been opened up by Mu Chonglan "wasteland", and a lot of rare medicinal materials or some strange things that should have been extinct have been planted, and the Liu family is pharmacological, so it is difficult to guarantee that he will not recognize anything.
What's more, if she takes 10,000 steps back, even if the Liu family can't recognize those rare medicinal materials, the shape of the greenhouses is also very eye-catching, if she sees it, she may not be able to find any moths.
"Anything else?" Mu Chonglan saw that Yan Xingsheng had no intention of leaving, so he asked with some curiosity.
Yan Xingsheng nodded: "Actually, there is one thing. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Su Yan."
"Huh?"
"Su Yan originally lived in Princess Yong'an's courtyard on the outskirts of the city, and this time I am afraid that she will live with the Liu family."
"Oh, then you've got it all figured out." Mu Chonglan didn't care, in her previous life, she still attached great importance to Su Yan's stepsister, but when she came back in this life, she found that her stepsister was not as simple and harmless as she appeared, so she became alienated.
Although she can't play scheming, she still has the instinct to avoid danger.
"Okay." Yan Xingsheng smiled, he just wanted Mu Chonglan's words, with Mu Chonglan's words, he knew how to settle this "princess and daughter".
After getting a definite answer from Mu Chonglan, Yan Xingsheng left satisfied.
Mu Chonglan went to Wu Ming again, intending to discuss the rest of the matter.
When Mu Chonglan found Wu Ming, Wu Ming was settling accounts, and what he used at this time was the Nine Cause Song that Mu Chonglan taught him, and he didn't use an abacus.
At the beginning, Mu Chonglan asked Jin Yuetian to go to Xiao Xiantang to learn Jiu Yin Ge, and naturally he didn't hide it from Wu Ming and Zhen Youcai, but Yan Xingsheng was a thoughtful person, and asked the two to sign a death deed before Wu Ming and Zhen Youcai learned Jiu Yin Ge with Mu Chonglan.
Only after signing the death deed can you learn the Nine Cause Song from Mu Chonglan, otherwise you won't teach.
This kind of death contract is like having a child in the family, not only as a domestic slave, but also for Mu Chonglan for generations.
Wu Ming was alone, and he had a son for the Jin family, so he simply agreed.
On the contrary, Zhen Youcai, both old and young, his son is still a child, in order not to affect his son's future, he is a little hesitant.
After Mu Chonglan learned about it, he did not embarrass him, and signed a personal contract with him, stipulating that only he was a domestic slave, and his heirs would not have slave status, but asked him not to leak Jiu Yin Ge.
Zhen Youcai cursed and swore that if the Nine Causes Song was leaked, there would be five thunders in the sky, Mu Chonglan didn't believe much in the so-called curse and sweared, but he still trusted Zhen Youcai.
Wu Ming didn't know that Zhen Youcai only signed a personal contract, but he didn't say anything, nor did he ask to change the contract, as if he didn't have any temper.
This made Mu Chonglan, who was originally ready to change the contract, very surprised, but Yan Xingsheng told Mu Chonglan, and Mu Chonglan realized that Wu Ming signed the lifelong contract completely voluntarily, not entirely for Jiu Yin Ge.
The reason is that he himself is a child of a family, and after several generations of education, he has more or less servility in his bones, and his understanding of loyalty is generational loyalty.
And the last time, Mu Chonglan rescued him in public, it was a change of ownership for him, he had actually been loyal to Mu Chonglan since that time, and signing the contract this time was just a statement.
After listening to Yan Xingsheng's explanation, Mu Chonglan actually still had some ignorance, but she also understood that individuals had their own way of living, so she didn't think much about it, after all, if she signed the contract, she was relieved to use it.
"Miss, you're here." Wu Ming respectfully bowed his hand, his title to Mu Chonglan from the owner to the lady, and then to the young lady at this time, it seemed that it was just a change of title, but in fact, there was a doorway.
Calling Mu Chonglan the owner, that is the most commonly used title for ordinary stewards, and when he first arrived, he called Mu Chonglan like this.
Later, he changed his name to Mu Chonglan as his wife, because he learned that Mu Chonglan was actually married, so he called Mu Chonglan his wife as Yan Xingsheng, which was regarded as indicating that he was working for Xiao Mansion for himself.
As for this time, Wu Ming called Mu Chonglan Miss, which means that he is truly subdued by Mu Chonglan, and his master is only Mu Chonglan alone, and he will not be subject to the person surnamed Xiao.
In fact, it is not only Wu Ming who will call Mu Chonglan like this, but also Su Chengmo and Zhen Youcai, but more often, Zhen Youcai calls Mu Chonglan the ninth girl, because he was employed by Mu Yuanshan at the beginning, so he was used to this title, and he couldn't change it for a while.
It is worth mentioning that in fact, Yan Shoucai and Yan Xingsheng are father and son, these two people also called Mu Chonglan from young lady to lady, which seems to be a big change, but it has changed fundamentally.
Because, on the surface, they call Xiao Xiantang the young master, but in private, they serve Xiao Xiantang as the master, so the young lady is just a superficial title, which means the young lady of the Xiao family, and the title of Mrs. is the identity of the master of the Eight Classics, they call it so, that is, they recognize Mu Chonglan's identity, and this is the treatment that Mu Chonglan did not have in the previous life.
It's a pity that Mu Chonglan's kind of brain, which is only intermittently witty when it comes to Xiao Xiantang, has not paid attention to this at all, so these people's flattery is destined to be lost to the blind.
"I just told you where to go, let's continue."
"Madame spoke of the lion dance." Wu Ming said respectfully.
Mu Chonglan nodded: "Can you find a juggler for the lion dance?" ”
"I'm afraid it's not easy." Wu Ming smiled a little helplessly, this lantern festival will set up a towering shelf at the South Street, and those jugglers who can dance lion and dragon were invited to go early, ready to participate in the performance at that time.
In fact, if they are willing to spend a lot of money, they may be able to invite some jugglers who are willing to break the contract, but the problem is that they can't spend a lot of money.
Wu Ming told Mu Chonglan about the situation, Mu Chonglan rubbed his face, and his face was decadent: "No silver, it's really miserable." ”
"yes, it's miserable to have no money." Wu Ming agreed, but secretly said: In fact, if you are rich, this young lady of your own family can barely be ranked in most of the capitals, after all, Jue Se Fang not only has flower dew that can be fried in the black market for a thousand taels, but also makes a lot of money with imitable cosmeceuticals.
However, Mu Chonglan is still very poor, so poor that the clothes on his body are all the clothes of the previous year, and there are only a few sets of bead hairpin jewelry.
And the fundamental reason for this is that this levee burst, Mu Chonglan bought back too many victims because of his kindness, and he needed a lot of silver to resettle these victims.
Moreover, the dismal business of Zuixiaolou is also a drag.
Thinking that the business of Zuixiaolou in charge of him was bleak, and Zhen Youcai's peerless shop was thriving, Wu Ming was ashamed.
