The wells of each house are usually located next to the kitchen, in the backyard.

A man jumping into a well?

Eleven Niang stared at Lu Yonggui: "The nephew of the chief cow jumped into the well?" ”

Although Lu Yonggui is not often in the mansion, he has always paid attention to the affairs of the mansion. When he saw Amber at Ciyuan Temple that day, he knew that he might not be able to hide it. When he returned home, he heard his younger brother bragging in front of him, saying that his wife had called him to do something, and he was still dreaming there, saying that he had come to work in time, and maybe he would ascend to the sky in the same step as Yang Huizu. He thought of the third master's family leaving happily, and Shi Niang took over the middle feed of the Hou Mansion without any resistance or any waves, and he knew that this fourth lady was not a simple person. What's more, he is in charge of the property left by Yuan Niang. That's a lot of money. Although she was very happy to hand over the management to Luo Zhenxing, who knows what she thought in her heart?

He didn't know much about the person in front of him, and he couldn't tell what she knew.

Even if she wants to withdraw, she has to settle her suspicions with the person in front of her, which makes her happy - the steward of a wealthy family wants to stand on her own, and it is impossible without the support of the old club, and it is even more difficult to offend the old club.

If the other party is a pebble and he is just an egg, no, maybe not even an egg, just a quail egg.

Lu Yonggui didn't dare to bet. Don't dare to bet on your future and your brother's future.

Therefore, he chose to calmly recount those facts: "When a person is fished out of a well, he naturally jumps into a well. ”

Eleven Niang's heart was secretly cold.

Things were more complicated than she had imagined. But it strengthened her determination to figure out Lu Yonggui's position.

"What about the accounts of the Hangzhou shop?" She asked Lu Yonggui lightly.

I saw Lu Yonggui's hanging hand shake it, and slowly let go.

"It was said that a sum of money was missing. Because the person who handled it was Brother Da Mao, Mr. Niu took the blame and resigned. ”

"Is it before Da Mao dies, or after Da Mao dies?"

"What?" Lu Yonggui looked up at Eleven Niang.

"The money is gone, is it before Da Mao dies, or after he dies?"

"After death?"

What a coincidence.

First, the wife who did not pass through the door was ...... by the eldest man Then Da Mao jumped into the well, and Niu Da resigned......

She remembered thinking of when she first arrived at Luo's house. The three rooms of the Luo family are all in Yuhang and keep filial piety. Although the second and third wives have quite a few complaints about some of the eldest wife's practices, the eldest lady was married in the case that Mrs. Luo was paralyzed in bed and unable to preside over the middle feed, and she became a family within two years of marrying; Second, Mrs. Luo was sick for seven or eight years, during which the eldest lady was waiting for illness in front of the bed, and when the old lady Luo went, the three sons were in office, and the eldest lady sent them to the end. Not to mention the two concubines, even the second master and the third master have to respect in front of this eldest sister-in-law.

Now listening to what Steward Lu said, this must involve the replacement of the old and new forces of the Luo family.

"Then Wu Xiao's family took over the errand of Chief Niu?"

"It's not!" Obedient and listening, Lu Yonggui knew that Eleven Niang had fully understood his unfinished words. A terror flashed in his eyes.

This Mrs. Yongping Marquis has not yet reached this year!

He simply said: "First, a steward who had served by the old lady's side had been in charge for some days, but he didn't manage it well, and then he was replaced by a steward who had served the old man. Several errands were also smashed. The eldest lady recommended Xu Deping to the old lady. Before he could take over, he fell from his horse and died. The old lady called Manager Niu and asked him to help recommend one, and Manager Niu recommended Manager Wu. After General Manager Wu took over, there were some small mistakes at the beginning, but fortunately, there was no ambiguity in major matters. The old lady decided to be the chief manager of Wu. Coupled with the fact that the eldest master poured money on his office, Mr. Wu was always able to level the account. Mr. Wu is in charge of this position to be considered secure. ”

Eleven Niang thought that when she came to Yanjing from Yuhang, Wu Xiao's family asked her to bring food to Lu Yonggui.

"Manager Lu and Wu Xiaoquan have a good relationship, right?" She asked tactfully.

"Although Mr. Wu is the eldest wife's companion, the eldest lady's favorite is Xu Deping, the head of Xu's mother's early death." Lu Yonggui said, "When Manager Wu first came to Luo's house, he followed his father to learn to settle accounts. Although there is no name of master and apprentice, there is the reality of master and apprentice. Therefore, I am very close to our two brothers. Later, our two brothers were able to come to the Yongping Marquis Mansion with their aunt and grandmother, thanks to the recommendation and sponsorship of Wu Xiaoquan by the chief manager of Niu. ”

That's why the second aunt said that the Lu brothers were able to come to the Yongping Marquis Mansion because of the credit of the chief cow?

Eleven Niang said: "Then Wu Xiaoquan knows that the two aunts came to Yanjing to find Steward Lu?" ”

Lu Yonggui said: "I don't know if it's small. ”

The answer was crisp and clear.

There are usually two situations in which people will tone like this. One is to hide something, and the other is to be fearless from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Yonggui, which one?

Eleven Niang smiled slightly and said, "The two aunts settled in Ciyuan Temple, and Steward Lu thought it was good?" ”

Lu Yonggui's head hung lower: "Compared with other temples, the presiding officer of Ciyuan Temple, Mrs. Jining, still has some real knowledge. The villain also hopes that the two aunts will have a place to live in their old age. ”

In other words, the two aunts can be accepted by Jining, and this Steward Lu has contributed.

"I heard that the two aunts donated 5,000 taels of silver to Ciyuan Temple. Does Mr. Lu know about this? ”

Lu Yonggui raised his head, his face full of astonishment.

There was a faint disdain in Eleven Niang's eyes.

There is no money to knock on the door, with Lu Yonggui, a small steward of the Hou Mansion, how can he talk to Jining. To say he didn't know, she didn't believe it.

Lu Yonggui couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw it. said: "At that time, the two aunts brought me three thousand taels of silver tickets, saying that there were three people who wanted to settle in Ciyuan Temple. Master Jining agreed at first. Later, when he learned of the situation, he returned the money. The two aunts went to see Master Jining in person. I'm waiting outside the door. The two aunts and Mrs. Jining talked in the wing room for most of the hour, and then Master Jining agreed that the two aunts stayed in the temple. ”

Three?

Now it was Eleven Niang's turn to feel stunned.

Her mind raced.

Aunt Yang knew that her life was short, and then she wanted to repair the relationship between Shi Niang and the eldest wife, but the eldest lady didn't appreciate it at all. Aunt Yang had no choice, so she took out her savings over the years and asked the two aunts to leave the Luo family with Shi Niang. The two aunts thought of Lu Yonggui, and then brought Shi Niang to Yanjing.

And after that? Is Shi Niang going back to Luo's house? Or did the two aunts instigate Shi Niang to go back to the Luo family?

This question, I'm afraid I can only ask Shi Niang herself!

Eleven Niang saw the curtain of the door swaying slightly.

Thinking that she would go to Zhongqinbo's Mansion with Mrs. Tai later, she brought tea: "I'm just curious about some old things in the past, and I will have to ask Mr. Lu about it in the future!" ”

Lu Yonggui knew that this matter was not over when he heard Shi Niang's tone. But Eleven Niang is curious about old things, so he can't help but say it. He muttered in reply, bowed and withdrew.

Eleven Niang instructed Amber: "Call Liu Yuanrui's son Liu Taiping to me." ”

Amber answered, and she began to see the mothers in charge.

When the matter was dealt with, Eleven Niang saw Liu Taiping, who had been standing on the eaves and waiting.

"Do you know that there is a person named Lu Yonggui in the Fourth Young Master's house?"

"Yes!" Liu Taiping said, "We are all from the Luo family. People often talk about him in front of me. said that he was very good and very good at making money. ”

"Do you know him?"

"I don't know!" Liu Taiping said honestly, "But I know Brother Yongfu." He worked in the stable, and the last time my mother went back, he had to give my mother a car. ”

"Is your mother seated?"

Liu Taiping's face turned red, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

A person like Liu Yuanrui's family, who can speak well, actually gave birth to such a solid-eyed son.

Eleven Niang laughed and asked people to grab a handful of candy for him. said: "Lu Yongfu's brother Lu Yonggui is back. He is in charge of the business in the fourth young master's house, and he walks outside all the year round, I am afraid that he will not be good at doing an errand with the fourth young master. During his days in Yanjing, you temporarily followed him, helping to serve tea, pour water, and wash laundry. Where did he go, though? Who did you meet? What did you do when you stayed in the house? I'm going to tell me 1510. Can you do it? ”

"It can be done!" Liu Taiping nodded hurriedly, and said in confusion, "Then, what if he doesn't let me follow?" ”

"Tell him, 'This is what I mean.'"

Liu Taiping nodded again and again.

Eleven Niang rewarded him with a handful of copper coins and asked Song's mother to send Liu Taiping to Lu Yonggui.

Amber said, "Madam, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on him secretly?" ”

"No!" Eleven Niang said, "I just want to express my attitude." Lu Yonggui is a smart man. He figured it out and would take the initiative to see me again! ”

Shi Niang went back to the yard and changed into a Hangzhou silk wide-sleeved jacket embroidered with jujube red and ginger peony flowers, combed a high bun, wore a Nanzhu headband, and went to Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai changed the dark color of the golden gourd double happiness pattern Hangzhou silk jacket, combed the round bun, inserted a jasper hairpin, and wore a jade bracelet.

Seeing that Eleven Niang had only one headband on her body, she asked Du's mother to find out her pair of Nanzhu bracelets: "It's also as big as the beads on your headband, it looks like a set." ”

Eleven Niang hurriedly excused herself.

Mrs. Tai smiled: "I am young and older now, and I like shiny things. It's also sunk at the bottom of the box if you keep it, so it's better to give it to you. As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that he instructed Du's mother again: "I remember that I still have earplugs for Nanzhu, and you can also find them for the fourth lady." Then he looked at Eleven Niang with a smile, "Today, I wear a hairpin and the same earplugs, it looks a little dull." You keep it for when the day is right. I only wore that bracelet today. ”

The kindness of the elders, Eleven Niang no longer insisted, and thanked Mrs. Tai with a smile.

Du's mother brought a rectangular carved red lacquer box over.

Open it and take a look. It's talking about a bracelet, but it's more than a foot long, and it can be worn as a necklace.

"Come, I'll put it on for you." Mrs. Tai wrapped the Nanzhu bracelet around the wrist of Shi Niang, about seven or eight ways, like a handband, wearing the wide sleeves of the jacket, looming between the hands and feet, there is a kind of reserved luxury.

Eleven Niang liked it very much, and smiled again and thanked Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai was also very happy, and looked her up and down, like a child, and her expression showed the satisfaction of changing the puppet's beautiful clothes.

Eleven Niang took Mrs. Tai into the carriage.
