Chapter 22: Ask her for a favor
"I really didn't missee the wrong person, you are a very good mother, I apologize to you for Gu Jin, the Wei family owes you, and I will help you get it back." Wei Ning's expression was moved, and his mother's words were really good.
Aunt Man's face was excited, and she knelt down to thank her: "Madame's great kindness, Manniang will definitely repay her peach in the future." ”
"Auntie doesn't have to be polite, my wife is the most kind-hearted, and she will definitely help you to the end!"
Yuyan quickly helped up the kneeling man and accompanied Aunt Man to retreat and rest.
Just pregnant for three months, the pulse was unstable, and the stimulus in the Wei Mansion was stimulated, so if you want to give birth smoothly, you must take care of your body.
In addition, Aunt Man was older and heavy in the first month, and if she didn't raise her well, she wouldn't be able to correct the crimes of Aunt Wei and Wei Jin, and there was a secluded building in the North Courtyard, so it was perfect to live there.
Aunt Man's affairs are settled, and the next most important thing is to verify the fake silver ticket, so that Aunt He will never have a chance to turn over.
The next morning, I took a carriage to Qin's embroidery workshop, and the principal Lan Xiuniang greeted her, and after casually making a salute, she immediately took the embroidery girls to retreat: "Since the eldest lady is here, the second lady has also told me about it, so I will retreat." ”
"Stop! Did our lady let you go? Yuyan shouted angrily to Lan Xiuniang, and glanced at the few housekeepers who didn't take Mrs. in their eyes at all.
Where did these two ladies ask their ladies to help take care of the embroidery shop? It's clearly a difficult lady!
Standing on the left, the fat embroidery girl with small eyes and big face directly crossed her waist and shouted: "What kind of character are you?" Madame didn't say anything about our sister Lan, you dare to interject? ”
Wei Ning's eyes swept over coldly: "I asked her to interject, do you have anything to say?" ”
"This ......" the fat embroidery girl put down her hands, her face was frightened, but she was also arrogant and talkative, "Madame naturally didn't dare to say anything when she opened her mouth, but Sister Lan is the second lady's right-hand man, how can she let the little maid be scolded?" ”
"Since you call yourself a slave, you should also know that the second lady of this embroidery shop has been transferred to me, and you will all be my people in the future."
Wei Ning was too lazy to speak, and directly ordered: "Aunt Lan and the embroidery lady in charge stay, and the others will go down to work." ”
"Madame is right! It's Aunt Zhou who is reckless, she is such a character, and I hope Mrs. won't blame her! Aunt Lan was busy currying favor with Aunt Zhou, and her attitude was extremely sincere and self-reproachful, but Aunt Zhou's face was still arrogant and silent.
The Diao slave raised by the Qin family, Wei Ning will find an opportunity to clean it up, but now is by no means a good time to do it.
"Yes, Aunt Lan." The embroidery lady at the bottom saw it clearly, the new eldest lady of the Gu family was a master who was not easy to offend, and as soon as she came, she gave Aunt Zhou, who had always been arrogant, a horse, and she didn't dare to say more and retreat.
The scale of this embroidery shop is not big or small, Wei Ning took over first, to let the Qin family put down their suspicions about her, and secondly, it was for the fake silver ticket.
The fake silver tickets that Qin took from the pawnshop were all given to Wei Lan, but Wei Lan didn't notice it, so it can be seen that the two did not communicate in private.
But the fake silver ticket did appear in Qin's most money-making pawnshop, indicating that the fake silver ticket has nothing to do with Qin's.
After carefully questioning, I asked Aunt Lan to bring the account book of the embroidery shop, which recorded the flow of the embroidery shop in and out, and learned from Aunt Lan and Aunt Zhou, the two housekeepers, that the embroidery shop usually has a very bad business, and the two of them did not say why, obviously there was something to hide.
Wei Ning asked a few people to step back, and found that there was a strange phenomenon in this embroidery shop under the account books, and the output of embroidered cloth on weekdays was not a lot but it was not sold, so where did these embroidered fabrics go?
Taking advantage of the fact that the people in the embroidery workshop were not paying attention, she instructed Yuyan to find the shopkeeper Xu of Beiyuzhai, who may be entrusted after she rectified the Wei family's embroidery shop, and asked him to inquire about the market of the embroidery shop in Kyoto.
After the embroidery shop, there was a conversation in the workshop, Wei Ning pointed out the new embroidery method of the embroidery lady, and everyone gathered around to join in the fun, Aunt Lan politely led a few people outside the shop in: "Madam, it is Miss Xiao and Miss Gu who come to embroider." ”
"So the eldest lady is really here." Gu Mingyun walked lightly accompanied by the maid Xiwen, and helped the precious pearl hairpin on the bun, "Mother handed over the Gu family's embroidery shop to you, which can be regarded as lifting you, so I will come over for my mother to take a look." ”
Xiwen sneered instead of the master: "I heard that the eldest lady won the appreciation of the noble concubine in the palace the day before yesterday, and now if I can't run my wife's embroidery shop well, the eldest lady's power is still handed over to my wife!" ”
As soon as these words came out, some of the embroidery girls present laughed and some were silent, and several maids brought by Miss Gu Er sneered one by one, looking at how the eldest lady ended up like a joke.
"It's really unfortunate today, my sister and I passed by the Gu family's embroidery shop, planning to take a look at Mrs. Gu's superb embroidery skills, and didn't want to bump into Mrs. Gu's family affairs."
Xiao Wanxin, who was standing behind, also covered her lips and chuckled like a play, this Mrs. Gu was unwilling to win her chess in front of the Fifth Highness in the palace that day.
Recently, I learned that it was rumored that the noble concubine Niangniang praised Mrs. Gu's family, so she came to the Gu family's embroidery shop to see the color of this person.
There was a person standing in Tingting in the back, Xiao Lanxin was silent, but she was annoyed by Mrs. Gu who had a relationship, after all, this Mrs. Gu helped her out of the siege in the palace.
However, she also knew that Sister Chang was vicious, and if she rashly helped, it would only cause Xiao Wanxin to be even more angry.
"The matter of my embroidery shop has nothing to do with a few people." Wei Ning's face did not change, and he directly asked people to send off the guests, "Aunt Lan, send the distinguished guests out." ”
"Madam, this ......" Aunt Lan was shocked, thinking that there was business to do, so she could only stretch out her arms and invite someone, "The two young ladies are here, please." ”
At noon, the sun was slightly big, the streets and alleys were full of traffic, the tea shop cooked steaming fragrant tea, and there were three or three tea guests sitting under the pergola, Wei Ning sat at the square wooden table, beckoning the guy to serve tea: "Xiao'er, bring me a cup of tea!" ”
"Alright, ma'am, wait a minute." The tea man hurriedly responded, and came up with the tea with numb hands and feet, and then another person sat down on the side of the square table, looking up at a noble son, and a cold-faced guard with a knife stood beside him.
"The villain's tea shop is really full of brilliance, does this son also eat tea?" The guy reacted quickly, his eyes turned on the two unusually dressed guests, and he was busy wiping his sweat and asking.
"Just serve a cup of tea like this lady."
I really didn't look up and look down, and the noble son sitting opposite was the Lord Rong who I had just met yesterday.
The moon-white brocade robe covers the legs, and this person's temperament is elegant and dusty, and he is particularly conspicuous as a pearl in the tea shed on the side of the street.
"Madame doesn't mind, does she?" After the tea was served, Rong Xun's slender fingers dragged the teacup, took a sip and then said with a smile, "I want to ask Mrs. for a favor, I wonder if Mrs. can agree?" ”
