Chapter 20: Qi Su Niang in the Arithmetic Hall [3]
Su Niang saw the shadow of the little eunuch under the lantern, it was clear that he was a human and not a ghost, "This little father-in-law is ......"
The little eunuch smiled: "The slave is the person in front of Shuanghong Gege. Gege heard that Madame was frightened last night, so he asked the little one to wait here so that he could give Madame Chen a ride. ”
Qi Su Niang breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled happily: "I'm tired of my little father-in-law." also asked the little father-in-law to reply to Shuanghong Gege, I really felt her kindness. ”
Qi Su Niang and the little eunuch walked all the way to the palace road, and one or two red lanterns were lit up on the palace road in the distance, as if there were eunuchs walking around. Qi Su Niang saw that there were people, and she was sure in her heart, swept the lantern in the hand of the little eunuch, and said with a smile: "The lantern in the hand of the little father-in-law is strange, how can one side be red and the other side white, but it looks like a double-faced Guanyin, I am afraid that it will not conform to the rules of the palace." ”
The little eunuch smiled: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Chen, this is when the prince was still encircled inside, Shuanghong Gege made it by himself to relieve the prince's boredom." Now that it's out, although it's not the same, Gege is reluctant to lose it, and the prince only says that she can use it if she likes it. ”
Qi Su Niang heard that Shuanghong was really favored, and her heart was happy. After that, whenever she left the palace every night, the little eunuch always waited at the mouth of the palace alley leading to Yuqing Palace, and Qi Su Niang never looked at it again. After a few days, Qi Su Niang taught He Tuhua the triangular inference method, and after he rushed to Zhili to patrol the river, the third elder brother no longer summoned her to the palace.
Although Bi'er went to Qi's mansion, Qi Qiang was too busy to leave home, Bi'er looked at the uneasiness on Qi Suniang's face, and persuaded: "Grandma, don't worry, the slave maid has left a message, and the uncle will come to the land as soon as he is free."
It's just a few days to wait, and now the grandmother hasn't seen the uncle for more than half a month. ”
Qi Su Niang nodded, thought about it alone in the room for a while, transferred the account books of Qi Ji Dental Stores in the capital, and checked the purchase of 21 dental stores in Jiangnan in the past six months. She was sitting on the kang table and looking at the account book when she heard footsteps in the courtyard, "Sister." ”
Qi Su Niang was overjoyed, hurriedly got off the kang, and greeted Qi Qiang happily in front of the door, "My brother is busy in the Ninth Master's Mansion every day, and even my sister-in-law hasn't seen you for more than half a month, how can I have time today?" Have you ever been back in the house? ”
Qi Qiang smiled but did not answer. Qi Su Niang didn't care about asking him too much. Looked at him for a while. "Lost some weight. The face is not good. "Look at Bier." Pour lotus seeds and clear heart tea for the uncle. It's getting a little hot. Give him the fire. ”
Qi Qiang sat down at the kang table. I picked up a few pieces of paper on the kang table and looked at them. Immediately laughed. "Girl. You have a good account. I returned to the capital that year. Qin Daoran also told me that you are a person who manages accounts. You helped organize one washing and three feasts. He knows you're secretly doing something. The eunuchs' extra land money was washed away. I just can't find anything wrong. ”
Bill held the lotus heart tea. Qi Qiang took it and took a sip. I smashed my tongue in bitterness. Put it back on the table. "I mentioned it to him later. Let you watch the Jiangnan business for me. He nodded without saying a word. also helped to play a package ticket in front of the ninth master. He really has more vision than I do. ”
Qi Su Niang was stunned. Cover your mouth and smile. "This earth reckons with the earth. It's a mess in and out. It's too easy to do tricks. It's just something that adds and subtracts. As soon as I pulled the money. Who isn't amazing? The eunuchs and grandmothers in the palace have never studied arithmetic. It's still a thief. As for my Shaoxing masters now, they are not in vain. You have to learn both hands. ”
Qi Qiang laughed. Took another cup of lotus seed lily tea from Bill's hand. Shoved into her hands. "Take a break. Take a sip of tea. ”
Qi Qiang watched Qi Su Niang slowly drink half a cup of bitter tea. He said, "Sister." The two lakes in the tooth line of the two pieces of land two ball official paper business. I'd like to add a deputy steward. ”
Qi Su Niang took a moment in her hand and looked at Qi Qiang for a while, "Although the official paper business is not the best, it is also a little profitable." Can a new steward earn more for you? ”
Qi Qiang hesitated and nodded, "The new steward is familiar with the yamen in the capital and Zhili, so move around more, and it is easier to order the two-ball official paper that we purchase in those yamen." ”
Qi Su Niang wanted to speak and stopped, and pondered for a while, "Are you going to send the new steward to the two lakes?" Don't let him stay in the way in Kyori? ”
Qi Qiang said with a smile: "Also, let him run at both ends." After a pause, "It's just to let him get some oil and water, and not let him touch serious things, or the original steward is in charge." ”
Qi Su Niang is slow
Nodding, "If that's the case, that's right." It's good for my brother to take the idea and inform the two lakes of Yaxing. ”
Qi Qiang laughed, "I'll let him stay here and kowtow to you." The lotus heart tea that picked up the table took another big sip, wrinkled his face bitterly, put it down as usual, and took out a seal from his arms, "Sister, you take this." ”
Qi Su Niang took a look, and saw that it was Qi Qiang's private seal with various merchants and twenty-one tooth shop shopkeepers, and she was shocked, "Brother......
Qi Qiang sighed, "One, the ninth master sent me to Jiangnan to do local affairs last time, which is exactly the most important place." Second, I mostly want to follow Qin Daoran to the court. The prince's movements are getting bigger and bigger these days, and the emperor doesn't care about him, and all of you have lost their official positions and even lost their lives. Neither of these ends is too busy, where can they take care of this. These businesses have been going smoothly for five or six years, and with you watching for me, nothing big will happen. ”
Qi Su Niang was terrified when she heard this, and then thought of the worries in her heart in the past few days, "No wonder I saw the fourth master and the eighth master walking together a few days ago, brother, the ninth master, he won't have an accident?" You should be careful in everything, or I will beg the Fourteenth Master to let you come out of the Ninth Master's Mansion."
Qi Qiang laughed, "It's okay for those people, the prince wants to rectify the head of the ninth master, and when the emperor dies, he will say that he has no Suo Etu, no third master, no fourth master, and thirteenth master, and if he loses these big arms, what else can he do?" It's hard to say who wins or loses. As he spoke, he stood up, "The Fourteenth Master didn't respond to it at the beginning, and now he won't respond." Don't worry, as long as the Ninth Master's Mansion is not copied, my brother will not have an accident. There's still something going on in the Ninth Master's Mansion, so I'll go first. ”
Qi Su Niang jumped off the kang, chased after Qi Qiang to straighten the hem of his slightly messy clothes, smoothed the folds on his head, and looked at Qi Qiang, "Brother, be careful." ”
Qi Qiang touched Qi Su Niang's head, "Don't worry." ”
Bi'er watched Qi Qiang walk out of the yard, and whispered to Qi Su Niang: "Delong is waiting outside, and he wants to come and kowtow to grandma." ”
Qi Su Niang snuggled by the door, looked at the courtyard door that had long been unable to see Qi Qiang's back, and sighed, "Tell him to come in." ”
Bi'er helped Qi Su Niang into the room, saw her sit cross-legged at the kang table, and sighed, "Grandma doesn't have to worry, maybe it's a good thing." Delong is not on errands in the capital, and the minions in Nafu will also complain everywhere.
Uncle has been working extremely hard for a while, and there is no reason for him to worry about things in the back house. ”
"I thought the same thing, so I didn't ask him to drive Delon away." Qi Su Niang sighed: "He is so busy, and he is still interested in going to the daughter-in-law's house, I want to see that woman will wait, can make him comfortable, I ......" helplessly picked up the lotus heart bitter tea, "The prince is in ruins, not only upward, but everything in the family is messed up......"
Delong walked out of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Hall and returned to his house. The daughter-in-law greeted her with a smile, and urged the girl to go to the kitchen to get hot meals and hot dishes, "I'm back so soon, how about it, the big difference is in hand?" ”
Delong smiled: "Uncle took me to the hall and told my aunt and grandmother. My aunt and grandmother only explained a few words, and asked me to set off for Lianghu Yaxing tomorrow. I'll come back in a few months and bring you a lot of fashionable materials and ornaments from the south of the Yangtze River. ”
Delong's daughter-in-law heard that he was leaving tomorrow, gave him tea, turned around and opened the cabinet to pack up his clothes, and said with a smile: "You only said that the big head is in the hands of your aunt and grandmother, and you don't look down on the little oil and water in the capital, and complain that the old lady said some lies to coax you, what is happening now?" You just have to go with confidence, and when I find another opportunity to make An Sheng's thief prisoner, I will let you be the second manager, and we will be more beautiful. ”
Delong's daughter-in-law said as she turned around, and saw Delong change into a new silk gown, pack up the silver money, purse, and fragrant tea bags, and immediately smacked him, "You cut off this road and only lost in that gambling nest for a while, and you eat people to earn a fight, where the group goes, you will go on the road tomorrow, and the old lady is easy to earn this family business, and you will lose it again."
Delong just laughed, raised his legs and went out, Delong's daughter-in-law didn't hold it for a while, she only scolded with hatred, "Licensed thief man" (to be continued, if you want to know what will happen next,, more chapters, support the author, support)
