Chapter 209: Secret Fight
The Xu family asked like this, how could the Fang family not be?
Therefore, the three of them all bowed their heads and said: "The mother's actions are wise, and the daughter-in-law is impressed." ”
Although Xu Shi was asking their opinions, what did not reveal in his words, "I have made a decision, you just need to nod and agree".
Knowing the true thoughts of the Xu family, where would the Fang family and the others find themselves unhappy.
However, although they all agreed, in the hearts of the Fang clan and the others, they had different thoughts.
Fang Shi became angry when he heard that Master Puyun was going to take An Sheng to give medicine to the front-line soldiers, so much so that she was a little absent-minded about what Xu Shi said later.
And the Shen family and the Song family, after hearing Xu's words, were a little disdainful.
Xu's words sounded good, and he also found another way, handed over all the medicines to Master Puyun, and asked Master Puyun to transfer them on his behalf.
But in fact, they all understood that the Xu family just wanted to be cheeky to rub off on Master Puyun's reputation.
Hongji Temple donated medicine to the front-line soldiers, which was to keep a merit book, but I am afraid that this is the real purpose of the Xu family.
At that time, as long as there is a little bit of rumor, there will naturally be someone who will spread the reputation of benevolence and kindness for the Xu family.
It's much better than giving some porridge to those mud-legged beggars.
When this good name is fortunate enough to reach the ears of the emperor, at that time, even if there is no reward, the emperor will have to praise him a few words.
The two things that the Gu family lacks the most now, reputation and official reputation, are all captured, which is really a double win.
Xu's abacus is really fine!
Song secretly pursed his lips in his heart.
The world's most calculating businessmen are the most calculating, but she feels that the Xu family in front of her is a hundred times more shrewd than the most calculating businessman.
Moreover, the skin is thick enough!
Just because his granddaughter was called by Master Puyun to follow the pharmaceutical, the Xu family could immediately beat the snake with the stick, seize all the opportunities that can be used, and seek fame and future for the family, which can really be described as "well-intentioned".
However, Song also had to admit that Xu's move was indeed right.
The Gu family now has the title of a marquis, but they don't have the net worth to afford this title, and if the Gu family wants to take another step, they really have to bother to plan.
Their lord, she can't be a big official, she is only a merchant, and she doesn't have a son by her side, so she can't count on anything.
However, if the Gu family is powerful, it will naturally only be good for her, not harmful.
There is no harm, why does she refute Xu, make Xu's unhappy, and ask for her own hardship?
Thinking like this, the Song family was also very happy when he responded to the words.
It's just that her happy mood didn't last long, and she was made unhappy by Xu's words.
"The third daughter-in-law, my mother knows, you have contributed a lot to the prosperity of our house over the years, and everyone in the family remembers your goodness, and now, it is the time to use you, my mother thinks, you will not refuse, right?"
When Song heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, but he didn't dare to show it, he just said: "Mother, you are too polite, what your daughter-in-law does is what she should do." ”
This was neither promised nor vetoed.
Xu Shi heard the unhappiness in Song's words, but pretended not to understand, Gu Zi smiled and said: "Mother knows, you are the most sensible, on weekdays, we give porridge and medicine in the house, you have contributed the most, Mother thought, this time, you should not disappoint your mother, right?" ”
After Xu finished speaking, he looked at Song with a smile.
Speaking of which, if the Song family should not do it again, it will be enough to have no eyesight.
In front of the Xu family, she naturally didn't dare to see her without eyesight.
So I had to reluctantly nod with a smile, and responded: "What my mother said is very true, this is what the daughter-in-law should do, for the sake of the family, the daughter-in-law is willing to do anything." ”
Seeing that Song responded, the smile on Xu's face couldn't help but deepen, "Very good, my mother knows that you are a general knowledge, in this case, the three of you will discuss this matter, first draw up a list, think about what medicines and medicinal materials to send, and then come to me to see." ”
"Yes, mother." When the three of the Fang clan heard this, they all bowed their heads and responded.
"This is a big deal, remember to hurry up, it's better to go back and discuss it now, at the latest at dinner time, it's almost time to discuss, go." Xu smiled and waved back.
Fang Shi and the others hurriedly got up and saluted, and then went back to discuss according to Xu's instructions.
Out of the courtyard gate of Songhe Hall, the Fang clan and the Shen clan looked at the Song clan almost at the same time.
Everyone knows that there are two pharmacies under the name of the Song family, so it is said that it is a gift from the Hou Mansion, and to put it bluntly, the big head still has to come out of the Song family's shop.
Song also understands this, but she just doesn't like Xu's attitude of calculating her.
I want to let her give something, but I don't want to ask her, I have to let her "take the initiative" to take out things and make face for them, it's really a good calculation!
"The third brother and sister are going back to check and check, right? Then I'll go back and take a look at the private treasury in our house first, and when the time comes, when the third brother and sister check it, see how many medicines and medicinal materials can be taken out, and then we will discuss the matter of drawing up a list, do you think? Fang smiled and stabbed Song in the heart again.
She was not happy in her heart, but she was not happy when she saw Song, she felt much better in an instant, and she was also in the mood to stimulate Song.
How could the Song clan not hear that Fang's words were deliberately blocking her.
But she didn't obey Fang's wishes!
"I just have something in my hand, even if I check it, it won't take much time, unlike your sister-in-law, who holds the key to the treasury, the huge Yongning Hou Mansion, everything is in your hands, you have to check it, but it will take time, or wait for the sister-in-law to check it, write to me, and let's discuss the matter of drawing up a list." There was a hint of mockery in Song's tone.
The fact that the Yongning Marquis Mansion is an empty shelf, I'm afraid that no one knows better than her.
Over the years, if she hadn't filled it, the Yongning Marquis Mansion would still want to maintain the illusion of wealth and nobility to the outside world, so dream of it!
Therefore, even if the Fang family is in charge of the treasury and in charge of the middle feed, in fact, he is also a poor man.
The Fang clan hated others for squeezing her with this matter the most, and the Song clan just said it.
Fang's face couldn't help but look difficult.
Shen didn't want to get involved in the fight between the two of her, but if the things Xu explained couldn't be done, she would also be punished, so she had to stand up and make peace.
"The sister-in-law and the third brother and sister are all capable, the mother relies on the two of you the most, this point, everyone in the house knows, in my opinion, let's go and draw up the list first, and when we are free, it's not too late to talk in detail, what do the sister-in-law and the third brother and sister think?"
When the way and the Song family heard this, their eyes moved, and then they said in unison: "What the second brother and sister (second sister-in-law) said is extremely true. ”
"Then let's go first." Seeing that the two of them were still saving face, Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled and beckoned them to go together.
