Chapter 12: Delong, the steward who sold his wife
On the second day, it was another sunny spring day, Qi Su Niang waited for Chen Fan, sent him out, and then took Bi'er and sat in a jade-topped sandalwood car to see Shen Yuezhi and Caiyun in the Qi Mansion.
Qi Su Niang got out of the car in front of the house, and when she saw An Sheng coming out to catch her, she couldn't help but wonder: "You didn't go to Xishan?" Even the big boss came from Yangzhou, which was inconvenient, and I thought he had to borrow people from this house. ”
An Sheng looked at Qi Su Niang's face carefully, and saw that she didn't seem to take yesterday's incident to heart anymore, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Grandma doesn't know, the Cao Gang of the Nine Provinces paid to build a boat gang hall on Baimi Xiejie in the capital, which is specially used for people from all gangs to live in when they enter Beijing. Not only did they hire deacons who took care of food, lodging, feasting, drinking, and playing, but each gang sent people to stay on site to inquire about news, see the direction of the wind, and keep in touch with each other. Even the big boss wants to do something, so naturally send these people there. We just need to prepare for the banquet and fun when they come back in the evening. ”
Qi Su Niang walked all the way to the inner house, slightly stunned, "Everyone in charge lives in the Boat Gang Hall?" ”
An Sheng said with a smile: "Third Master Luo lives in our house, and the other masters all live in the Boat Gang Hall, which is big, and it is the largest hall in the capital, and the second is the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hall in Baoqian Hutong, where my aunt and grandmother live." Both are near Xizhimen. ”
Qi Su Niang secretly thought that Lian Zhenyun and Song Qing lived in the same place, and it should be easy to find out the news, so she was a little happy at first.
Suddenly, I thought that people like Song Qing must be on guard, and I was a little worried. Although she has a clear conscience in this matter, the capital is not as good as Qinghe.
As the saying goes, "the county order of the broken family, the mansion of the exterminating clan", the county lord of the Qing Dynasty is the emperor of the soil in various places. Qinghe is only a small county, not to mention that the emperor is far away, Chen Yan is a county with holy grace, and he is married to a slave under Brother's door, and his brother-in-law is the steward of Brother's Mansion, even Huai'an Mansion has no leisure to pay attention to many things.
The old squire of the clan has some joints, Chen Yan has a bowl of water, and no one will really offend him. In the final analysis, Qinghe is Chen Yan's world, no matter how she behaves, but listening to two gossips, as long as Chen Yan doesn't believe it, no one dares to say more.
The emperor, the queen mother, the prince, and the county ministers in the capital are gone, once there are some rumors, even if Chen Yan doesn't believe it, he can't suppress the rumors, and his dignity is gone. Moreover, in such a season, if such a thing happens, it may not be used by others, but I am afraid that it will be small to lose face at that time, and it is a big matter to lose my life when I go to the official.
Qi Su Niang regretted it for a while. It shouldn't have been left behind. If it was like Lian Zhenyun's original plan. killed Bai Lao Wu and that girl. There's still a need to worry about that. She sighed. Chase the thought out of your head. Walk slowly towards the West Garden.
She turned a corner. Then I saw a male steward coming in front of me. Purple face. Dusty face. The body is covered with oil purple Beijing satin jacket. There are some traces of dust on the satin pants. A three-color ribbon is tied around the waist. Hanging white jade ring. There is also a silver heart and gold wrapped in fragrant tea bags.
The man saw Qi Su Niang walking by from a distance. Hurriedly retreated to the side of the road and made a thousand calls. "Slave Delong greets my aunt."
Qi Su Niang frowned secretly. Fang had to reluctantly get him up. An Sheng smiled and said to Qi Su Niang: "Auntie." Xiaodi watched the sky change a little. I'm afraid that the sun can't keep its tail. Most of the aunts and grandmothers will have to call someone to wait at the palace gate. Rain gear for my uncle. Side said. led Qi Su Niang to the west garden.
Qi Suniang looked up at the sky. "There is little rain in the city of Beijing. It's a good thing to be able to play the next one. Bill looked back at Delon, who was still kneeling on the side of the road. There was no sound either.
"Ouch. My aunt and grandmother. You don't know. The Yongding River began to flood again last year. It went straight to the moat. But it scared the nobles of the capital. This rain will fall. Xiao Di muttered in his heart......"
Delong watched Qi Su Niang walk over, stood up, patted the ash on his satin pants, and walked all the way out of Qi Mansion to the house that Qi Qiang bought for him and his wife across the street.
Delong's daughter-in-law is also a flag man, with a silver plate face, a few white pockmarks on her cheekbones, and a twenty-point appearance, although she is only four or five points of beauty, she is better than coquettish. She sat on the kang table, asked the girl to take the cigarette stick with an ivory and silver mouth, and was lighting a Kanto cigarette, when she saw Delong walking in, she immediately smiled and said, "I'm back, how is the errand of Zhili?" As he spoke, he stood up and called the girl, "Fetch hot water for your lord and pour tea." While waiting for Delong to change his clothes.
Delong watched the girl walk out, and said with a smile: "It's just to collect five thousand taels of silver and deliver a letter to the yamen of the governor of Zhili." It's nothing, didn't you do much in the Nine Masters Mansion at the beginning? Now the big head is in the hands of my aunt and grandmother. Changed into homely clothes, "Uncle, can you come to walk this time?" ”
"You have been gone for more than half a month, and the uncle has come to walk four times, and he sent someone to buy this girl to serve. When he came, there were always dozens of taels of silver to make a plate for chewing. You opened the gambling account you owed outside, and the prince found out where to find out the news, and he actually found it here to make noise, and it was falling into the eyes of the uncle, so he sent someone to drag the post to the yamen and beat the board, and never dared to come again. ”
Delon nodded, "If only he came." When I went to the house today, Ansheng's little cub deliberately didn't tell my uncle to go out, causing me to go in vain
The second steward, who is more able to look at the uncle's eyebrows than Fu Ming, I have a certainty in my heart. ”
Delong's daughter-in-law glared, "What kind of thing is Ansheng?" How dare you play tricks? You wait, I'm looking for an opportunity to avenge you. Then the girl put the hot water on the triangular basin rack, handed the hot tea to Delong, and beat the girl out.
Delong took the hot towel and wiped his face, and shook his head, "Don't worry, my aunt and grandmother are in Beijing, and my uncle is more restrained in everything." Now it's hard to make some money, if you lose it, where can you find such a good way? ”
Delong's daughter-in-law smiled: "Don't worry, you see that this house, girl, and coil are all used, and when he comes back, he will see that you have finished your errand, so I will not reward you again."
It's also the old lady that I lost, and I want him to have some good food and clothing. In the future, I will ask for more big messengers for you, and it will be as beautiful as in the Nine Emperors' Mansion. ”
Delong smiled: "Tomorrow I will go to live in Yourong's shop as usual, if he comes, you remember to be flattering in everything, don't slack off." ”
The mother-in-law laughed and said, "Thief, you can eat freely, uncle is easy to wait?" You don't know how my mother suffers."
Qi Su Niang sat in Shen Yuezhi's house, and heard the heavy rain outside smashing the glazed tiles for a while, and after a quarter of an hour, the ground suddenly stopped, and the sun slowly showed its face again. Shen Yuezhi half-sat at the head of the bed, scooping the fish soup in the bowl, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, it only lasted for this time, and it rained for seven or eight days in May and June last year, and the people in the capital were panicked, and they were afraid that the flood would enter the city." Most of the people in our house are from the south, and most of them have gone through these things, but they are better. ”
Qi Su Niang originally wanted to ask about Delong, but when she saw that Shen Yuezhi was in good shape, she couldn't help it, and only gossiped and laughed with her, "Sister-in-law, I used to hear Bi'er say that there were more than 100 people in our house, but now that I look at it, there are even more." ”
Shen Yuezhi smiled helplessly: "He is a person who likes to arrange a venue, and the people who come and go are all from the field, all of them are a pair of rich and noble eyes, and they will inevitably decorate one or two." With Caiyun, there are only four serious masters in this house, and there are sixty-eight people waiting. Of the twelve granges on the outskirts of Beijing, there were also thirty-four stewards and miscellaneous servants, and a total of one hundred and two people went there. ”
Qi Su Niang was shocked to hear it, and remembered that the accounts of the twenty-one tooth shops in Jiangnan were directly classified under Qi Qiang's name, and there were always two hundred and twenty thousand taels a year, so she could only sigh, "Fortunately, he can also afford this scene." ”
Shen Yuezhi smiled bitterly: "Thanks to him and your sister, otherwise with such a big family business, he would work alone, and he didn't have a really credible and usable helper by his side, where would he be a long-term solution?" He is also thirty now, and he eats and drinks and plays with women every day, and he doesn't know how to take care of his body. I just hope that Caiyun will give birth to a son and give birth to a stumbling child, and he will not be scattered from this family business. ”
Qi Su Niang remembered Lian Zhenyun's kindness to Li Siqin, and knew that the heirs of the brothers in this world were really doing great things and establishing the foundation of great causes. The eighth master is to the ninth, tenth, and fourteenth masters, and the fourth master is to the thirteenth master.
is Qi Qiang, although he has a wide range of friends and many friends, he still entrusted her with the business in hand, after all, because of her surname Qi.
Qi Su Niang nodded slowly, "Sister-in-law is right, the Qi family doesn't have a brother, although I am helping some, in the end, I am a woman in the house, and I am a girl who got married, and I can't help it......"
The two talked slowly, and Qi Su Niang saw that Shen Yuezhi was a little tired, so she got up, went to the Caiyun room to take a look, and had lunch with her before moving to the courtyard of Yuegouer.
Yue Hook'er looked happy, sat on the kang table and watched the girls open the box, revealing the ruler, gold and silver, and seeing Qi Su Niang coming in, she quickly got up and served tea to Qi Su Niang, and sat on the kang table opposite her.
Qi Su Niang looked at the cherry red, plastered red Gong Bilan, Batuan, and Dayang Lotus clothes in the girls' hands, and said with a smile: "From the south? Sister Gui sent it? ”
Yuegou'er opened a yellow pear inlaid eight treasures by Tianlu ornament box, revealing a box full of gold and silver ornaments such as burnt gold hairpins, emerald gold flowers, and amaranthic hairpins, "My sister has carried the side room, and the ladder around her is even more decent." Although her brother-in-law also loved her in the first few years, she was just a concubine in the end, but now that she has become the master, the minions in it naturally have eyes, and the clothes and accessories are all selected and sent. Auntie, look at it, from the perspective of a slave and maid, it should be the best goods in Yangzhou City. ”
Qi Su Niang smiled and nodded, "That's the way it is in my makeup box, look at the one in this box, compared with the one on Bi'er's body, where will it be worse?" ”
Yue Gou'er smiled from ear to ear, and pulled Bi'er over the kang table, "The slave is just looking at Bi'er's body, but if Bi'er can get on it, I'm afraid it's not the top in my aunt's makeup box?" ”
