Chapter 127: The Carriage
Anping Street, Su Province.
Xu Qinghe finished the work in the shop, and hurried to Su Mansion to pick up his cousin.
She went straight to her uncle's study, and saw Su Jin sorting out the books inside, so she walked over and asked, "Have you cleaned up?" What books should I bring with me? ”
There are 2,000 books in my uncle's study.
Su Jin replied while sorting out the books on the shelves: "Just bring the contents of the box." ”
Xu Qinghe glanced at the wooden box on the ground and said, "Anyway, the two families are close, so I'll come back and get it if there's anything missing." If there is anything missing, my cousin will replace it for you. ”
Su Jin smiled slightly, "Thank you, cousin." ”
"Have you packed up the rest of your clothes?" Xu Qinghe asked the young man.
Su Jin nodded, thought for a while and said to her, "Cousin, I settled the wages of the maids and servants in the morning, leaving only the housekeeper and two small servants to take care of the house. ”
Xu Qinghe frowned slightly, "Only the housekeeper and the two little guys are left?" ”
Su Jin saw her frowning and wondered, "But did I handle it inappropriately?" ”
Xu Qinghe thought for a while and asked, "Uncle can explain to you what savings he has at home before he leaves?" ”
Su Jin looked around the collection of books, calligraphy, and paintings in a circle of rooms......
"The most valuable things in the Su Mansion are in this room. My father instructed me not to sell my paintings and calligraphy unless I had to do so. And there were five hundred taels of silver left in the treasury. ”
When Xu Qinghe heard these words, he couldn't stop feeling sad in his heart.
Su Jin said to her again: "Cousin, my father does not allow me to sell my paintings and calligraphy. but I will give you the five hundred taels of silver. ”
Xu Qinghe reprimanded the young man, "What nonsense! Could it be that you go to live in Xu's mansion, and I still have to collect rent? You keep the money yourself. ”
"Hmm-" Su Jin responded, turned her head, and secretly wiped her tears.
Xu Qinghe walked around the room, silently memorized all the items, and then said to the young man: "You find a blank booklet, register these things one by one, and check them correctly in the future." ”
Su Jin knew that he was afraid of theft, so he hurriedly said hello, took out a booklet on the desk, dipped his pen in ink, and recorded every item with a serious expression.
"The two little guys who stayed behind are the butler's sons?" Xu Qinghe asked him.
Su Jin responded: "One is Su Bo's eldest son, and the other is his nephew. My father told me that I should take good care of Su Bo and not let him grow old and have nowhere to live. ”
Xu Qinghe thought for a while and suggested, "Su Bo's eldest son has already started a family. Ah Jin, it is better to take them to Su Mansion to live, or take care of Su Bo nearby. ”
"What about Subo's nephew?" Su Jin asked.
Xu Qinghe replied: "After the salary is settled, let him go to work in the Xu Mansion shop." ”
When Su Jin heard this, he happily said, "That's very good! Even though my father and I don't live here, there is still a family living in Sufu. ”
Xu Qinghe carefully took down the rare paintings on the wall, carefully rolled them up and put them in the box to put them away. Then he glanced at the sky outside the window and said to the boy, "When you have packed up, you will move in before dark." Mother was still waiting for us to have dinner. ”
Su Jin nodded in response, "It'll be fine right away." Suber had already sent my luggage over. All that's left is this box of books. ”
Xu Qinghe felt guilty when he heard this, his eyes were slightly wet, "I should have come over to help you sort it out together." ”
Thinking of the thin young man sorting out his belongings back and forth in the empty Su Mansion alone, only the voice of the old butler could be heard in the silence......
Su Jin looked at her cousin and smiled warmly, "Cousin, don't worry. I could handle these things, and my father had told me what to do in the morning. ”
"Ah Jin has grown up a lot! Cousin believes that you will soon be able to take charge on your own. Xu Qinghe praised with a pleased expression.
Su Jin remembered that his father was holding on to his spirit before he left, and explained what he was going to do in an orderly manner. The young man's clear eyes gradually filled with a layer of moisture, and he whispered: "Do what your father tells you to do." ”
Xu Qinghe didn't hear what he said, and shouted out the door: "Ayao 1."
Xu Yao heard the voice and immediately came in, "Miss, what's the matter?" ”
Xu Qinghe pointed to the wooden box on the ground and ordered: "Go and call two people to come and carry the box to the carriage." ”
Yes 1 Xu Yao immediately answered and rushed out.
——
The sun is sinking in the west, and the twilight is dusk.
A horse-drawn carriage staggered down the street and stopped at the gate of Xu's mansion.
Xu Yao immediately jumped down, stood aside, leaned over and lifted the curtain of the car, and helped the people inside to get out of the car.
Xu Qinghe held his waist and got out of the carriage with a frown.
Su Jin didn't need the support of the little maid, and jumped down neatly.
Xu Qinghe looked back and forth at his simple carriage and muttered, "It seems that we should change to another car." ”
Su Jin saw that her cousin was holding her waist and her face was not good, so she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with my cousin?" But what's uncomfortable? ”
Xu Yao also looked over suspiciously.
Xu Qinghe put down his hand and said to the little girl: "Today, the carriage is upside down, and my back hurts. Ah Yao, turn around and tell Uncle Xu to prepare a carriage that is not too bumpy. ”
looked at the young man again, and said softly: "Ah Jin will take the new carriage to the county school in the future." ”
Su Jin immediately refused, "Cousin doesn't need to build a carriage for me. Xufu is not too far from the county school, and I will go. ”
Xu Qinghe explained: "I have no objection to you going to the county school, but if you encounter a thunderstorm and a blizzard, it is better to take a car." ”
Su Jin knew that her cousin had good intentions, so she couldn't refuse again, so she had to respond.
At this time, Li Bozhou came out of Xu's mansion to greet the two, "As soon as I heard that Ah Jin had arrived, I couldn't wait to come out to pick you up." ”
Su Jin immediately called "brother-in-law".
Xu Qinghe was puzzled: "How is my brother-in-law here?" After speaking, he reacted immediately, glanced at the Thorn Mansion next door, and said with a smile: "Dare to love Lord Shen if he doesn't keep a meal, and my brother-in-law will come to Xu's Mansion for a meal?" ”
Li Bozhou smiled and responded: "It's not!" The younger brother was so hungry that he couldn't do it, but Lord Shen was extremely stingy and reluctant to prepare an extra meal. I had to come to my cousin's house for a meal, and by the way, I gave Ah Jin a wind1
Xu Qinghe snorted, "Borrowing Xu's food to pick up my cousin, only my brother-in-law can say it." ”
Li Bozhou didn't care, and walked in while holding the young man's shoulder, and asked with concern, "Can you work today?" ”
Su Jin shook her head and replied, "Not tired."
Xu Qinghe followed behind the two and instructed the little girl: "Let the little girl carry the things to the courtyard of the young master." ”
Xu Yao immediately responded: "Yes, miss." ”
Xu Qinghe stepped forward, walked side by side with the two of them, and asked, "Does Ah Jin know how many carriages your brother-in-law has?" ”
Su Jin was stunned when he heard this, but he really remembered it, and after a while, he shook his head and responded, "I can't remember clearly." ”
Li Bozhou laughed and said, "No matter which one you drive, it's better than the one at the door." I really don't know why my cousin has saved more than 10,000 yuan, why he is reluctant to buy a few good carriages-"
"Why are you reluctant? I was about to buy a carriage to take Ah Jin to the county school. Xu Qinghe replied.
When Li Bozhou heard this, he immediately said to the young man: "I'll send someone to send one over tomorrow." Otherwise, when your cousin buys it, I don't know what kind of stingy thing it will be. ”
Su Jin didn't respond well and looked at her cousin.
Xu Qinghe laughed evilly and said to the young man: "The carriage built by your brother-in-law with a lot of money is absolutely comfortable, and Ah Jin should not hurry up and say thank you1."
Li Bozhou reacted when he boarded, and smiled helplessly, "My cousin is really stingy and has arrived home!" A carriage still makes such a big turn—"
Su Jin also laughed. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
