Chapter 151 Excuses

Early the next morning, someone responded to Ming Fei's call. (Apex hand-beaten) to keep the wages and the reward in the account room. The leader is the mother and daughter of the Jin family, the reason is that they are afraid that they will be picked up by unscrupulous relatives, so it is better to save it for Chun Nan as a dowry.

With the Jin family taking the lead, a few little maids who had just entered the door also deposited the silver in the account room, and then the old horse who guarded the door also brought the silver and said that he wanted to marry a daughter-in-law.

Ming Fei is very happy about Jin's trust. Gong Yuanhe was happy to see her, and he was also happy, and as soon as the two of them had breakfast, the second room sent someone from the main gate to invite them to talk.

After yesterday's big trouble, and Gong Yuanzhi came to say that he was reassuring, Ming Fei and Gong Yuanhe vaguely guessed that it must have been the second lady Gong who had made up her mind and asked the two of them to go over to discuss.

The husband and wife laughed and set off from the main entrance, went around to the gate of the second room and entered, the second Mrs. Gong heard the walking route of the two, and kept a calm face and did not speak, but she did not lose her temper again.

As soon as the two entered, Gong Jingqi greeted them and affectionately pulled them to sit down. Aunt Zhu personally served fragrant tea. After the two of them sat down, Second Mrs. Gong coughed a few times before she spoke: "I heard that you are short of money, so you went to use it as clothes?" ”

Gong Yuanhe smiled and said nothing.

Second Mrs. Gong slowly and methodically plucked the tea foam with the lid of the tea bowl and said, "Since you are short of money, why do you have to cook and eat by yourself?" And to buy so many people. He also accused Ming Fei of not being in charge.

Gong Yuanhe couldn't stand it, so he pulled Ming Fei up and said, "Since my aunt has nothing else to do, my nephew still has something to do, so I'll come to listen to the training another day, and I'll leave first." ”

Gong Jingqi and Gong Yuanzhi hurriedly gave Second Lady Gong a look, and Second Lady Gong swallowed that breath and said, "Since you have no money, why don't you come and tell me?" went out to be a dress, and was laughed at. You always think that I won't give you the money, but you don't think that I was entrusted by your father to manage this money. Isn't it my sin that if you are young and ignorant, I am afraid that you will fall into your hands and be spent by you in three or two clicks, and if you have no life in the future, you will be poor for the rest of your life? ”

Ah, she's so kind. Ming Fei and Gong Yuanhe glanced at each other, smiled slightly, and did not answer.

Second Mrs. Gong babbled a lot, how hard she has worked to be in charge of the house over the years, which shops have lost money, which land has suffered from drought and flood, and how much silver it costs to repair and decorate the house over there every year. Gong Zhongsu was in office, and everyone else was going to the house for silver, but he was good, and kept taking out the silver from the house, and then said that Gong Yuanhe was spoiled by the uncle and aunt of the long house, and he had to pick the most exquisite food and clothing, and he was greedy for fun and made friends, and he went to the capital for three years and spent how much money at home, etc.

She said so much, it was nothing more than to inform them in advance, Gong Yuanhe had used a lot of money from the family over the years, so that they could be mentally prepared that they didn't have much money. Gong Yuanhe had an account in his heart, but he didn't bother to deal with her at this time, and it was in vain to sort it out, so he just listened silently, and waited until she finished saying that he said: "It is precisely because of my aunt's hard work that I don't dare to make trouble for my aunt anymore." You're not well, so rest. ”

Seeing that he didn't answer, didn't argue, and always remembered that she was leaving, she hurriedly turned to the topic: "I calculated the accounts at home." First give you five hundred taels of silver every month, and when my nephew and daughter-in-law are fine, I will come and follow me to learn housekeeping, and when you have mastered all the small things, I will teach you how to deal with the big things? ”

Seeing that Ming Fei was smiling and silent, she said exaggeratedly: "Niece and daughter-in-law, I am doing this for your good." You are from an official family, you are young, you have not experienced wind and rain, but I am afraid that you have never seen a few deeds, where do you know how to take care of these shops and granges? What if it suddenly comes into your hands and you are deceived by the people below? If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, this kind of thing has to be learned slowly. ”

Seeing that the two didn't answer, her mother and son were a little anxious.

Aunt Zhu suddenly smiled and said: "The concubine has a lot of words, Madame, this is really for the sake of the uncle and the big * milk." If it's an outsider, who likes to do this thankless job. Before, it was the deep responsibility of love, and there was no way to suffer. Over the years, Mrs. has worked hard even if she has no credit, how can the uncle and the big * grandmother be considerate of Mrs. A loving heart. ”

As soon as she said this, Second Lady Gong nodded again and again, "Exactly." We are a family, breaking bones and tendons, one is not good, no one can escape. I always hope that everyone is well, I can't raise you for so many years, for such an idea, I have to make you hate me for the rest of your life, right? ”

Gong Jingqi and Gong Yuanzhi said one after another: "Big brother, let's do it first." There are many things, and my father can't say it clearly when he is not there, so my sister-in-law first followed her mother to learn to take care of the shop and learn to manage family affairs. Wouldn't it be a great good thing to wait for Daddy to come home and just take over? ”

Gong Yuanhe lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said: "Auntie also said just now, I love to eat and wear, and I love to call friends, and I have raised so many people, and I have to repair the whole house, and there are human contacts, five hundred taels of silver a month, where is enough?" It's not enough to make a big piece! ”

This means that they are willing to temporarily regress, but they are too little silver.

Gong Jingqi leaned into the ear of Second Mrs. Gong and said, "Drag it first." "Gong Zhongsu will not be able to go home for another year or two, as long as they don't make trouble, they can delay for a while, and there will always be a way after a long time, such as setting up a bureau and finding a place to go for the money reasonably and clearly.

Second Madam Gong gritted her teeth and said, "Then how much do you need to be enough?" This is for Ming Fei.

Gong Yuanhe grabbed his head and opened his mouth: "According to the amount that my aunt originally gave me, how can I get two thousand taels of silver to be enough." I still have a daughter-in-law in charge, otherwise there are so many people, and one thousand taels more will not be enough. ”

"What?" Second Mrs. Gong felt a pain in her flesh and almost didn't jump. Aunt Zhu quietly pressed her shoulder and shook her head gently. That's when she woke up, yes. Previously, she said that Gong Yuanhe's monthly expenses were so exaggerated, and now she came to deny it, didn't she slap herself in the face? She held her forehead and thought for a while, and forced a smile: "Now the family is very tight, business is difficult, those shops are not profitable, if they are all given to you, your brothers and sisters and I will drink the northwest wind, compromise, one thousand taels a month." ”

Without waiting for Gong Yuanhe to answer, he asked Gong Jingqi to bring the silver ticket with burning eyebrows. and send them away. Gong Yuanhe smiled, took the silver ticket and said, "Everything has just started on my side, and there are too many places to spend money." It's not enough. Forget it, I'll be a belt again. Looking back at Ming Fei, "I remember I had a belt inlaid with ruby sapphires and beads, uh, that one doesn't work, it was handed down by my grandfather, but what's worth it?" I'll go back and look at it. If you can't sell the Zhuangzi who raised the dog, in short, there are many spare houses at home, so you can just take it back and raise it. ”

Gong Jingqi glared at Gong Yuanhe with a blue face, Gong Yuanhe looked at her indifferently and smiled: "I don't know if the third sister's dowry is ready?" ”

Gong Jingqi seemed to be burned, lowered her head and said, "I don't know." ”

Gong Yuanzhi sighed helplessly, and glanced at Second Lady Gong, Second Lady Gong said angrily: "I will give you an extra five hundred taels this month, and if you want it again, it will be gone." "I went with the curtain down.

Gong Yanbi took out another five hundred taels of silver tickets, Gong Yuanzhi thought about it, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and put them in Gong Yuanhe's hand: "Brother, is it enough now?" ”

Gong Yuanhe smiled, didn't count, and pulled Ming Fei away: "Then let's do this for the time being." Walking and stopping, he asked Aunt Zhu: "I almost forgot, my aunt fell badly yesterday." It just so happened that the flower mother next to the big * milk is the best at massage, we took the medicine wine for bruises, and the flower mother you rubbed it for your aunt. There is no aunt around my aunt. ”

Hua Pozi really took out a small porcelain vase from her arms, and smiled at Aunt Zhu step by step... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
