Chun Ying couldn't tell the intention of the old 2 of the Mu family. After a little hesitation, he replied: "My father is not at home now, does Second Brother Mu have something to look for him?" Please leave a message for me to tell him in the evening. ”

Although Mu Lao 2 still had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of disappointment: "Not at home? But I don't know where it went? I have something important to discuss with him. ”

Zhao San's sister-in-law was originally hiding in the house, but when she heard this, she was a little curious and came out to look at Mu Lao 2. She knew that Lu Yougui was on the other side of the new house, and it was only a stick of incense away from here, so she was very interested in Chunying's statement.

Chunying also felt her gaze, but now she could only deal with Mu Lao 2 first and then said, "I don't know what is important?" It can't be a business in the shop, right? My father is no longer the shopkeeper of the silk village, and he has been away from the capital for more than half a month, what else can he do? Besides, I heard that when my father was leaving, he handed over the accounts, the goods were clear, and the guest roster was explained one by one. You've been following my dad all the time, so you're naturally familiar with everything, so what's not to understand? She was a little vigilant, thinking that this Mu Lao 2 should not bring disaster to her father. On the other hand. She also remembered that her father used to say that he would promise her to this Mu family old 2, and now she and Hu Fei are getting better, and due to the difference in identity, they can't get engaged for the time being, but don't make any more trouble!

Mu Lao 2 hesitated, did not answer, and said after a while: "That is the case...... Please also ask the girl to tell me, where is Uncle Lu now? I went to him myself. Otherwise, it would be the same to tell me when he will be back. I took three days off and reported that I wanted to go back to Shunyi to visit my parents and brother, so I quietly came here to look for him. It's really ...... Can't stay long......"

Chunying was a little embarrassed when she heard him say this. Anyway, this person didn't offend her, strictly speaking, his parents are still friends of his father's mother, Shunyi is in the northeast of the capital, but Daxing is in the southeast, he specially turned such a big turn, came to find his father, there should be something very important, right? Then he said: "I guess he is probably behind the mulberry forest next to the east avenue of Zhuangzi, in the second house on the right hand, he said he was going in the morning, but I don't know if he is still there." ”

Mu Lao 2 was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, girl." He turned around and left, but when he reached the door, he bumped into Shi'er who ran in, and he was stiff. He stood still after only a moment, but Shi'er fell backwards, almost fell, he hurriedly reached out to hold it, and looked closely at a young girl, and hurriedly let go of his hand and took two steps back.

Shi'er was knocked into a daze by him, and scolded angrily: "You person! Why can't you see clearly when you walk?! Mu Lao 2 was ashamed, bowed, and lost it. Shi'er snorted at him, saw his eyes again, and frowned: "Who are you?" Who are you looking for? ”

Chun Ying hurriedly said: "He came to find my father." What are you running recklessly? There's a ghost chasing you? Shi'er grimaced at her, then hurriedly ran to the main house, shouting: "Mother! Mother! I met my uncle at the entrance of the village! Mother! ”

Aunt Wang opened the door with a hula and walked out, glaring at the boss with two eyes: "What did you say?!" Where did you meet him?! ”

"At the entrance of the village, he drove a carriage, saying that he had come to run an errand, and he would not come until the steward nodded."

Aunt Wang's eyes widened: "He is doing a good job in Beijing, what is he doing here when he has nothing to do?" Still waiting for the steward to nod?! Did you hear it wrong? ”

Mu Lao 2 by the door seemed to have an understanding: "What is the aunt referring to? He originally came with me, because I was in a hurry to see Uncle Lu, so I didn't ask much. So they told him to wait at the entrance of the village. It turns out that he is my aunt's brother, but it is not mine. ”

Aunt Wang stared at him, looked up and down a few times, and frowned: "Which child are you?" It's important to be young! My brother is in Jumbo Xuan, except for Steward Du and a few worshippers, no one dares to support him, you actually asked him to drive you a car?! ”

Mu Lao 2 smiled bitterly: "Auntie, you have wronged me by saying this." Uncle Mo...... Ten days ago, he was dismissed from his errand, but Grandpa Mo went to beg his wife, and his wife was kind and sent him to our shop. The newcomer to the shopkeeper did not want to see him, so he sent him to carry the goods. I ordered him to come out to catch the car, and it was already easy. ”

Aunt Wang's face was very ugly, but she still remembered to be polite to this young man: "Please also serve tea in the house, it is about my mother's father and brother, please be sure to explain the matter in detail." Shi'er, go and call your uncle. Chunying, this little brother wants to see your father, so you can run. ”

Mu Lao 2 hesitated for a while, but still agreed to enter the house. Shi'er glanced at Chunying with some trepidation, and then went out uncertainly.

Aunt Wang's maiden name is Mo, and she is also a servant of the Hou Mansion, since her grandfather's generation, she has been a clerk in the Zhenbaoxuan under the name of the Hou Mansion. Now it was her brother's turn to lead the errand. Because of this backing, no matter what happens to the Wang family, Aunt Wang is quite calm. It was determined that the family would not starve to death. I didn't expect this hereditary good errand to be lost?! How can she not be anxious? Even Shi'er, who knew the qualifications of his grandfather's family, couldn't help but be stunned.

Chun Ying stayed where she was, her brows furrowed. If she remembers correctly, the Mo family is also a family with old qualifications in the Hou Mansion, and it is an errand boy in a place like Zhenbaoxuan, the old man Mo is quite prestigious, he has been a clerk for decades, and the shopkeeper has to say hello when he sees him. This kind of hereditary position, and technical requirements, is no better than being in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, unless the party makes a big mistake, it will be dismissed, and after the dismissal, it is generally necessary to find someone from this family to succeed him. It is rare to transfer people to work as chauffeur coolies.

But...... If the wife wants to strengthen her own power, she will inevitably squeeze out the old family, promote her cronies, and install her own people in important positions, plus the Mo family and the Wang family are in-laws...... But no matter how you look at it, this arrangement is ridiculous. She had some bad premonitions.

Zhao San's sister-in-law stood aside, a little embarrassed: "Look, sister-in-law...... I just remembered that there was something I hadn't done yet......"

Chunying then remembered that there was someone next to her, and smiled at her: "I'm really sorry." When Ming'er is free, my sister-in-law will come to play again. ”

Zhao San's sister-in-law smiled, and picked up the tiger head hat again: "This is made by the girl?" It's for your little brother, right? What a bright job! My kid is five years old this year, and he belongs to the tiger, and I want to make one for him in the next year, but I can't spare ......."

Chunying felt a stirring in her heart, thinking that if she really met her wife to eliminate dissidents, she was afraid that most of them would have to live in this Zhuangzi for a long time, and the strong dragon would not suppress the head snake, and it would be better for someone like Zhao Sansao, who had real power in the village. smiled and said, "If my sister-in-law doesn't dislike my rough craftsmanship, let me make one for my nephew, I don't know what color my nephew likes?" ”

Zhao San's sister-in-law smiled with satisfaction: "It doesn't matter what color you want, where is the roughness of such a good craftsmanship as a sister?!" Yo, by the way, you better go and find Uncle Lu, don't delay the business. Chunying sent her out with a dry smile, and immediately turned around and ran to the new house, telling her father about the second elder of the Mu family.

"Brother Chen'er is here?" Lu Yougui frowned, lowered his head and thought about it, then asked the hired helper to put the newly bought tables and chairs away, and held the palm of the door Peng Gong, and hurriedly walked back to the original residence with his daughter, and sure enough, he saw the old 2 of the Mu family sitting in the main house, looking embarrassed, and Aunt Wang next to him pulled a strange middle-aged man, crying in a low voice.

Lu Yougui walked in and asked, "Brother Chen, you are not watching in the shop, what are you doing when you come to me?" ”

As soon as Na Mu Chen saw him coming, he hurriedly got up and rushed to the front, his eyes were red, so he made a long gesture and said with difficulty: "Uncle Lu, the shopkeeper ...... I just can't take it anymore! ”

Lu Yougui was taken aback and hurriedly helped him up: "What's going on?!" Chun Ying was also surprised next to her, thinking that her father had lost his errand, that is, less than twenty days of effort, what did the new shopkeeper do that made people unbearable in such a short period of time?

After listening to Mu Chen's story, everyone knew what was going on.

It turned out that the newly appointed shopkeeper did not have any ability, he came to the sun every day, and at lunch, he was often invited to eat and drink spicy food in the restaurant outside, and he came back drunk until he came back, and the sun had not set before he went home, and the store should be in business. It's all left to Mu Chen and the guys to take care of. Originally, when Lu Yougui was in office, there were rules for everything, and Mu Chen did it accordingly, and there were no problems. But the new shopkeeper somehow left aside the few cloth merchants who had supplied the goods, and preferred to buy goods from the other two cloth merchants with whom he had never dealt with before. Mu Chen had to check it before receiving the goods, and he was still yin and yang, sarcastic Mu Chen, because the wood steward was Hou Ye's person, he had some concerns, so he didn't turn his face. Later, the fabric I bought was of low quality and could not be sold, so I could only put it on the shelves to cause dust, but the new shopkeeper deduced that it was all Mu Chen and others who were not helpful, and did not find the problem in time, patted his buttocks, and went to flatter his wife. Mu Chen wanted to find Ping An to complain, but he knew that he didn't know what he said in front of his wife, and his wife asked someone to blame Mu Chen.

Recently, because the two young masters in the Hou Mansion have to accept the people in the house, the wife wants to be more solemn and happy for the old lady by the way, so she needs a lot of clothes. When the new shopkeeper heard about it, he ordered Mu Chen and the others not to open the door for the time being, and sent all the fine silk he had finally bought from the original supplier to his wife for her to choose, and said that he would honor his wife's winter clothes by the way. As a result, there was not a single horse of clothing left, and only the poor quality and leftover materials sold in the old year were left in the store. It took a few years for Lu Yougui to restore the vitality of the shop, and there was a profit, but it was stirred up by the new shopkeeper, and there was a deficit, and the most terrible thing is that the reputation in the industry was greatly affected, not only did the door-to-door customers have few, and even the suppliers who have been cooperating well are not willing to give them the fabric on credit, and they have been urging the accounts again and again. The new shopkeeper is not the same thing, only saying that it is good to enjoy the shade with his back against the big tree, and there is the Hou Mansion as a backer, are you still afraid that he will eat the northwest wind?

Mu Chen said as he blushed with anger: "I've never seen such a scoundrel!" The steward and shopkeeper of the Hou Mansion has never been as bold as him! Why is he?! It's not that I've been in the house for generations, but the family voted for it ten years ago, and I actually thought that if I had a good wife, I would be able to come here! A good shop, it was destroyed like this by him in just a few days! ”

Lu Yougui's face was dark, even if he died and no longer expected to continue to be in charge of the shop, after all, it was a place where he had spent several years of hard work, and he was ruined to this point in less than a month, and he was about to get angry.

Chunying hurriedly asked: "Didn't you tell him that at the end of each year, each shop has to take inventory, and the shopkeepers have to rely on one year's profits to ensure that they can continue to work on errands in the next year." He is so nonsense, what silver is left in the account?! ”

"Yes, yes!" Shi'er's eyes widened, "Listen to what you said, not only has he not made any money these days, but he has also lost a lot, and the goods are gone, and it seems that there are less than two months of work left, what is he going to do?!" ”

Mu Chen was sad as soon as he talked about this: "He said...... Uncle Lu already has a deficit, and he can't make money, so he can't blame him. If we dare to sue him, he will put the blame on us. Now in order to honor the material, his wife often praises him, what can we do? I was about to go home and talk to my father, but now that the silk shop is a mud pit, I have to find a way to exonerate myself......"

When Lu Yougui heard this, he didn't get angry but laughed: "He has a good calculation!" It's a pity that I was on guard against this at the beginning, although the handover was urgent, but I still invited Lao Du and Xiao Chen, the stewards of Zhenbaoxuan, to testify. They can see it clearly, when I left, the goods were complete, and there were hundreds of taels of silver on the account, and I reported the profit once every six months. ”

Shi'er hurriedly said: "My uncle was dismissed from the errand of Zhenbaoxuan for no reason, and it was also the ghost of my wife's people. Grandpa Du is not happy in his heart, he will never help those people speak! ”

Mu Chen poured the bitter water in his stomach all over and felt better, so he said to Lu Yougui with a straight face: "Uncle Lu, I was thinking on the way here, my wife is so biased in listening and believing, I'm afraid that we will be honest and errand hard, and we have to think about it." I've heard in the house that many people are dissatisfied with their wives, and that the families of the generations of servants are secretly complaining. I went home this time, just to ask my father what he meant, to see if he was looking for a chance to mention it to Hou Ye. I don't know if Uncle Lu wants to join one? ”

The corner of Lu Yougui's eyes jumped: "Join?" Do what? ”

"Naturally, I asked Lord Hou for my life." Mu Chen wiped his face and showed a meaningful smile, "We can't watch our wife continue to be confused, right?" The old lady is sick again, the third young master is young, and besides, he is born to his wife. The second young master doesn't know how to do general affairs, so we can't bother him, so we have to ask the major stewards in the house, and the men and women of each family to sum up, so we have to let the Hou Ye give everyone peace of mind. ”

Chunying's heart moved, and she straightened up. She seemed to sense that something terrible was brewing.
