Chapter 61: An Iron Rooster
Qi Qin touched the jade jade bracelet hidden in his sleeve, and thought in his heart: It seems that my brother's mother is also unreliable. It is still necessary to find a good marriage for yourself, which is the right way.
After Qi Qin left, Mrs. Qi walked into the inner room, walked straight to a row of Nanmu drawers, carefully opened one of the drawers, and with Mrs. Qi's movements, the light of silver gradually flashed.
Old Lady Qi touched the silver taels of this drawer, and her face was intoxicated.
She is not like most people in Chang'an City, she likes to use silver tickets, compared to the fluttering silver tickets, she still likes this real gold and silver.
This drawer is her treasure, stacked neatly stacked with silver bars, a total of three hundred and one drawers.
Unfortunately, before she could fill the entire row of drawers, she would lose most of the silver in the only drawer.
She had thought of filling this row of drawers with silver first, and then slowly changing them to gold.
Now, I don't know if this wish will come true.
Mrs. Qi reluctantly took out two hundred and fifty taels of silver. Looking at the empty drawer, there were only five silver bars left. Old Mrs. Qi was very distressed. She won't give up a single tael of silver.
Although three hundred taels a month is much less than before, it should not be able to leave a little bit of the province.
After locking the Nanmu drawer carefully, she called Mama Feng.
"The silver ticket and silver here are a total of four hundred taels of silver, you take it, and give it to those mothers-in-law tomorrow." Mrs. Qi said distressedly.
"Old lady, there are not enough here." Although she knew that Old Lady Qi was distressed, Mama Feng still spoke in embarrassment. She promised which mothers-in-law would settle the silver taels tomorrow.
What is this called, she has not been an official in the backyard of a family who can't afford to pay the silver taels.
Thinking of having to deal with that group of spicy mothers-in-law tomorrow, Mama Feng's head hurts.
"The remaining one hundred taels will be given to you when the master comes back." Old Lady Qi said.
"I don't know when the old man will go to court." Mama Feng asked, she only hoped that Qi Xuan would come back soon.
"The old man will return to his house after the next dynasty, you don't need to ask, what, you are an experienced old woman, can't you handle this little thing." Mrs. Qi was deflated all night, so naturally she couldn't hear that others were disobeying her.
"The old slave is incompetent, please punish the old lady, but the old slave promised those mothers-in-law today that they would settle the money for them tomorrow, and they only left the Qi Mansion today. Therefore, the old slave was afraid that if the old man was too late, it would make the Qi Mansion lose its trust. Mama Feng knew that Mrs. Qi didn't like it, but she could only kneel down and finish speaking.
"The Qi Mansion is untrustworthy, the Qi Mansion promised these Diao women anything, it's not all your own opinion." Old Lady Qi said sharply.
Mama Feng lowered her head and didn't make a sound, but she was secretly unconvinced in her heart: it was obviously because the old lady Qi personally promised to settle the silver taels with these mothers-in-law tomorrow during the day, so she dared to say so.
Mrs. Qi didn't want to repay the debt.
Mama Feng has also been with Mrs. Qi for a while, and when Mrs. Qi was in charge of the house, Mama Feng secretly greedily bought a lot of oil and water.
This hundred taels of silver can still be made up, and the old man will make up for her in the next court.
But Mama Feng didn't dare to say this, and silently waited for Mrs. Qi to speak.
She's just a grandmother, and she won't talk more about things that shouldn't be in her hands.
Today's daytime, she did it so beautifully, but she was still reprimanded by Mrs. Qi.
The inner room of Mingci Hall fell into an embarrassment, but it was the old lady Qi who opened her mouth to break the silence: "You go to the study and tell the master, so that he can remember to come back early tomorrow." ”
"Yes." Mama Feng stepped back in response.
The meaning of Mrs. Qi's words also understood Mama Feng.
She wouldn't give one or two more silver.
In this case, where is there still a need for Mama Feng to stay, it is better to go to the study earlier and inform the master.
As long as the old man comes back early with the silver two, tomorrow will be fine.
"Mama Feng." A playful voice came.
As soon as she came out of Mingci Hall, Mama Feng saw Bai Su looking at her with a smile on her face.
"Hello White Girl." Mama Feng and Bai Su greeted each other. It's still Bai Su's life, there is such a generous and good-looking master.
"Mama hasn't rested so late, where are you going?" Bai Su asked.
"I'm going to go to the study to help the old lady pass a message to the master." Mama Feng said.
"Coincidentally, you see, I am also going to the study, and Madame asked me to bring some food to the master. If Mama doesn't dislike it, let's go together. Bai Su said. Or the young lady was witty, so she took the Japanese food box with her, and she went to any place in the house by the way.
"Where is the white girl. The old slave is afraid of the dark at night, and is looking for a companion. Mama Feng said with a smile.
So the two walked together and walked towards the study.
…………
Different from the embarrassment of Mingci Hall, in Tinglan Garden, the delicately carved brass incense burner exudes a slight fragrance.
Jiang Shu had already taken off her makeup under Bai Tan's service.
Sitting comfortably on top of the soft floor and reading a book.
Bai Tan was carefully mixing spices on the side, and Mo Cui was quietly guarding the side.
"Miss, after we leave, the situation of Mingci Hall is probably like this."
After Bai Su came back from the study, he told Jiang Shu all the words that came out of Mama Feng's mouth.
Looking at Bai Su's colorful appearance, Jiang Shu only felt that she still underestimated the Qi family's slamming of the door after listening to it.
One hundred taels of silver, anyone in the Qi family, pawn a jewelry accessory casually, and wait until Qi Xuan sends a monthly salary next month to solve the problem.
It's so complicated.
Even before marriage, the Qi family did not get any benefits from the Jiang family.
The family is so unwilling to pluck their hair.
Jiang Shu thought that if her father didn't give Qi Xuan a fortune, and Tinglan Yuan didn't have a small kitchen, would she be hungry.
After that, he silently spread his lower abdomen.
Don't be afraid, she still has the second brother's fish soup and Aunt Wang's crystal bag......
Thinking about it, Jiang Shu suddenly became a little hungry, so she asked Mo Cui to come over and whispered a few words in her ear.
Let Bai Tan wait and prepare to rest.
After all, medical books say that eating too late is not good for your health.
When he returns home tomorrow, the second brother must have asked the cook to prepare a lot of delicious food waiting for him.
Thinking about Jiang Shu, she is looking forward to tomorrow more and more.
…………
The bright moon gradually set, and the rising sun sprinkled its light on the earth little by little.
The streets are also beginning to rejuvenate.
A group of people gradually rushed towards the Qi Mansion, anxiously waiting at the side door.
Jiang Shu walked towards Jiang's mansion in a carriage, passing by the side door and lifting the curtain to take a look.
There are quite a lot of people, and today must be a good show, but it's a pity that she is thinking about her eldest brother, and going to Jiang's Mansion is the most important.
Qi Mansion is singing well, there are so many people on Chang'an Avenue, and there is no shortage of her audience.
