Chapter 23: Red Mansion 23
New home arrangement
Ma Daopo went out of the gate and began to build momentum for her miracles, saying how powerful she was, etc., of course, many people will only think that she is lying, after all, the young lady is in the house, and she has not come out, how to prove that she was saved? Speaking of which, Ma Daopo is talking alone.
Whether Ma Daopo will be believed or not, someone will soon find out anyway, because Shizuka is already preparing to go directly to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing tomorrow, because in the city, she is really guilty. Now it's easy to get back to normal, and you can't make a mistake. I buried a small butterfly, and I don't know when it will be able to fan. It's still far away from the center of this plot, watching from afar, and shooting when needed. Guarantee your own life and the life of Knorr, that is, the task is completed.
The next day, Shizuka slept well and was refreshed, so she got up early, changed into a sports short-sleeved and started running laps in the yard, and the people of the Lin Mansion saw that this young lady got up very early, and she was still running, and she was wearing it, which made them dumbfounded. Xiao Cui came out of her own ear room, and when she saw this scene, she was a little anxious. shouted at Shizuka: "Miss, Miss, this is not on Zhuangzi, pay attention, pay attention to the image." ”
Shizuka also suddenly realized, so she stopped, and smiled a little silly, which made everyone in the courtyard feel amazed, and also made the secret guard squatting on the tree pause.
Because I studied the system for a long time last night, I finally found a way to adjust the time in space, so I was in an unexpectedly good mood in the morning. So I got a little complacent, forgetting the place and time. Alas, this ancient time is really not a place for women to stay, there are too many restrictions, the days without electricity, mobile phones, and computers are difficult, and it has been 5.6 years, how long will it take, no, I still have to learn something. By the way, the recipes in Dream of Red Mansions are rare masterpieces. Well, there are also those Suzhou embroideries to look at.
Thinking of this, she habitually wanted to go to the study to write down her own plans. Halfway through, she suddenly found that everyone was still looking at her, and she couldn't help but be stunned, what's wrong? Xiao Cui immediately stepped forward and draped the cloak she had just held in her hand on Shizuka's body. Shizuka couldn't help but smile helplessly again, she really can't change her living habits.
At this time, Mama Jiang came over and said to Shizuka: "Miss, everything is cleaned up, shall we go directly to Zhuangzi?" The city should keep some people in the house, so that there will be not enough people, and the lady asked the old slave to stay first, deal with the affairs in the house and then go to Zhuangzi. Shizuka nodded and said: "Okay, you can make up your own mind about this matter, you can help me watch some things in the capital first, don't go to Zhuangzi, it's enough to have Qu Mama, I don't have anything to do here, just help me keep an eye on Rongguo Mansion, and write to me if you have something." ”
Mama Jiang took the order, Shizuka changed her clothes, ate breakfast, and went to Wang's place to set off with her to Zhuangzi. Everything went smoothly on the road, and they came to Zhuangzi safely, and everyone began to work their own way after a little trimming.
Shizuka came to the study and asked Xiaocui to call Mama Qu, Steward Wu, and Steward Zhao to learn about some things in the family in the past five years. Let Xiaocui tell Mama Qu to come first, and Steward Wu and Steward Zhao will come over half an hour later.
Shizuka saw that Mama Qu was coming, and after a little contemplation, she said to her: "The election is next year, this year you contact your people first and give me a detailed list of things in the palace, maybe you can help you get revenge without me entering the palace." ”
Mama Qu felt that Shizuka was talking a little big, but this was against the Queen Mother, and she could take revenge if she didn't enter the palace? This is a daydream, and a bad idea suddenly occurred in my heart, and when I was about to say something, Shizuka raised her eyes and said, "Don't worry, I promised you, I will definitely do it, in fact, revenge is the stupidest way to fill in yourself." I promised you, I will definitely do it, you first help me collect the information and send it to me for research, I am going to study, it really can't work, I will go to the palace for a trip. There is still nearly a year to go, what is the hurry? ”
Mama Qu's old face flushed, thinking that Shizuka didn't want to help her take revenge, but when she heard her say this, she felt that she was cautious, in fact, she had signed a deed of sale, and she was a young lady's person, but she always thought about embarrassing the former master and the current master, isn't it a little bad. But thinking of what Miss just said, it's still early, as for what to do, it depends on the intelligence and the current situation. So he respectfully performed a palace salute and said, "Yes, master, the slave and maid will bring the information as soon as possible." When the time comes, I hope the master will help my poor old master. ”
Shizuka is most satisfied with Qu's attitude, once she identifies it, she will change her attitude, not only calling her master, but also calling her master. It seems that you can tell her about your own plans, so as to calm her heart, so as not to think that she has no intention of helping her take revenge.
"Have you ever known whether your adopted daughter's betrayal was voluntarily or forced? I don't know any of this information at the moment, but I know a way to force the Queen Mother to deal with your adopted daughter, it's up to you. The specific method, you can just look at it later. So now I can only let you find out what happened after you left the palace, and then I can make a decision. And if your enemy isn't the adopted daughter, or if the adopted daughter is dead, then you'll have to use your intelligence to find out the enemy so I can decide how we can get revenge, you know? It's a matter of planning and then acting. ”
Mama Qu blushed when she heard Shizuka's analysis, yes, the situation was chaotic at the time, she was kicked out that day, so what happened later was completely unknown, and now listening to Miss's analysis, I feel very reasonable. So he said with a more respectful and practical attitude: "Miss doesn't need to say anything, Miss will let the old slave arrange all the things, and I won't ask more questions in the future." ”
Shizuka is satisfied, these are the attitudes of loyal servants, so that's right. She doesn't like minions who talk a lot, as long as she tells them to do it, she doesn't need to give them a reason. Just show her the final effect, why bother to ask about the process.
Mama Qu took the order, and Steward Wu came in to report the achievements of the past five years, such as the antique business, such as the building materials business, and the profits from the essential oils sold in the shop. Shizuka listened for an afternoon, and then nodded and explained a few things, such as contacting Shi Yuhan in Suzhou, and taking the building materials from him in the future, he divided 5% of the shares. Other renovation and construction of houses and yards do not have his share, you can find him as a shareholder, and he will design.
Steward Wu was relieved to hear that his son-in-law was so capable, and he didn't see the wrong person. Then he gave Shizuka the box in his hand with the account book. Shizuka took it and didn't look at it, but asked: "In the past five years, I have full trust in everyone, especially you and Steward Zhao, but please remember, I can give it today, and I can receive it tomorrow." When the water is clear, there are no fish, I understand this truth. But what kind of person I like, you should know in the past few years. What I give you is different from what you have taken from me. Don't bully me for being young, what is the value of what I have in my hand, I'm not stupid, I just show you your stage, how much you are worth, I will give as much as you want, never give less, and I am not a stingy person. But I don't like people stretching their hands too long, such as black market trading, and I don't care about that. I know what you are doing secretly, as long as you don't go out of line, I can protect you, if you are a slave and a bully, then you will underestimate me. ”
Steward Wu's triumphant heart trembled when he said it, he knew that the young lady had invited the old management family of the Lin Mansion to the capital to supervise him. It's just that later he sold the youngest son of the old housekeeper and did some things, and now he is also a person with status, a person with a house slave, but I didn't expect these to be known by the young lady. Immediately knelt down, and then kept kowtowing to admit his mistake.
Shizuka casually flipped through the ledger and asked lightly, "Are there any typos in these ledgers?" ”
Steward Wu immediately said: "Yes, it is estimated that the old slave is dizzy and has written it wrong, can you allow the old slave to take it and copy it again?" Ming'er is sending it over? ”
"Okay, take it and make a new copy of it and send it over, by the way, recalculate? Maybe there will be a miscalculation? ”
"Yes, miss, don't worry, there will be no mistakes this time, and I will definitely calculate carefully." After saying that, he got up, took the box and the account book, and withdrew.
Steward Zhao, who was waiting outside the door, heard Shizuka knocking on Steward Wu in the house, and was a little scared, he had done a lot of things in Suzhou City these days, no less than Steward Wu. I flipped through the account book, and I was ruthless, so I went into the study and knelt on the ground without saying anything, put the account book on the ground, lowered my body and said: "Miss, I have the trust of Miss, I have three houses, four shops, and 15 subordinates in Suzhou City in the past five years." At present, he has 150,000 taels in his hand. Excluding the wages and dividends given to me by the young lady, 90,000 taels of which I embezzled. There are 20,000 taels that I took out from the shop to report the loss, but I actually sent it to the black market for trading. ”
Steward Zhao waited for Shizuka to fall without saying anything, Shizuka didn't say anything and took a sip of the flower tea brewed with peach blossoms, and said to Xiaocui casually: "Today's flower tea is good, if the roses are good in this season, it will be good to use roses to make flower tea, the taste is fragrant, and the body has its own fragrance after drinking it, which is very good for women's body recuperation, Xiaocui, you ask the executives in the grange in the capital to find all the flowers that can bloom in a year, and come to me for every one." Tonight, make a bowl of peach blossom soup that Sister-in-law Li has researched herself, and I want to repay it. By the way, send one to my mother and young master. ”
"Women love beauty, and the official lady and lady are the most willing to spend money, and they will be willing to spend a lot of money in order to retain beauty. I just don't know how well our Steward Zhao knows women? ”
Shizuka slowly stood up, as if she didn't want them to answer, and said to herself, "Actually, what is money? Smart people have ideas that can make money, but not smart people will only stare at the little cash in their hands, and someone once said that knowledge is wealth. Why do those scholars read books? Because they want to be officials, and when they become officials, they will have wealth. It can be seen that there is really nothing wrong with this, the common people just want to be fed, and the people in power and businessmen are chasing me for money, why is this? For the next generation? Hehe, that's stupid, no offspring, will only stare at their father's money, promising offspring, their own struggle for the future, as long as the money is enough, it's really good? ”
Shizuka slowly walked in front of Steward Zhao and said coldly: "Actually, I rarely read the account books before, I never read the account books you sent, I just need you to take out the money when I need it, I know you will be greedy, people will be greedy, but to be a man you must have a ruler, without a ruler, are you still a human being?" The Lord's money is so peaceful? I feel that I should take the lion's share of my hard-earned money. But have you ever thought that you can make money without my ideas, without my ideas? ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the study, and instructed Xiaocui to propose three ways to Steward Zhao for him to choose, one is to hand over all the family wealth, and then be a big housekeeper in the Lin family with peace of mind, and the outside affairs are not allowed to be managed. The second is to redeem oneself and leave the capital with those money and family. The third is to continue to be the big steward of foreign affairs, all the dividends and wages will be gone from now on, and the property will not have to be handed over, until the Lin Mansion will do 110,000 taels of wages and dividends. When did you get 110,000 taels, when can you start to continue to receive wages and dividends. She didn't have to prepare her for dinner, she had to go back to the bedroom to rest.
