Chapter Ninety-Eight: Signing (9)
"After taking the things away, will you really give me your mother's dowry list?" Shangguan Qingliu's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice.
Ah Jiu shook the yellowed note in his hand and said with a smile: "It's here, presumably my grandfather also has a foundation there, and when the time comes, I'll know if I lied to you." ”
I'm afraid that everyone can't think of it, even his son Shangguan Yan can't imagine that Shangguan Qingliu, who has always regarded himself as a clear stream, turned out to be a miser who sees money.
"Good!" Although he had said it before, Shangguan Qingliu still hesitated this time, and then nodded, "Since I promised you, I will never break my word." ”
As he spoke, he gestured to the deaf and dumb old servant next to him, and the old servant immediately understood, and immediately lowered his eyebrows and made a gesture of invitation to Ah Jiu, and led Ah Jiu to the inner library of Shangguan's house in front......
……
The inner treasury of the Shangguan family is in the courtyard of Shangguan Qingliu, and obviously, the reason why this "very stylish" old man gave him the position of housekeeper after his son got married was actually to secretly "manage" the property of the Shangguan family.
And now, although the Shangguan family has gained fame and fortune, and although he has finally been able to live a leisurely life, he still can't let go of these treasures in his bones.
It's just that when Ah Jiu secretly checked the treasures in Curry according to the things on the dowry list, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It turned out that the so-called operation of this old gentleman Shangguan was to sell his daughter-in-law's dowry, and then exchange it for something of corresponding value, and label it as the Shangguan family, which was simply misappropriating the wealth brought by her mother from the Gao family.
And many of these things he exchanged were not worth their original value at all, and there were even fakes outside of gold and jade.
I'm afraid that my mother will laugh when she sees these underground!
Still, it's better than nothing. Especially when Ah Jiu saw those valuable medicinal herbs piled up in the corner, her eyes immediately lit up.
I saw her wink at the little fish next to her, and the little fish immediately understood, walked up to the dumb and deaf old servant, and said to him with a smile: "My mother wants to stay here alone for a while, so you better take a rest!" ”
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the old servant's eyes immediately became dull, like a carved stone sculpture of wood, and he couldn't move at all.
Immediately afterwards, I only heard Ah Jiu smile and said to Xiao Yu: "Xiao Yu, although this place is much inferior to last night's, but today's is a physical job, but it is just right for your husband to see how you have cultivated your ability to move mountains and seas!" ”
Xiao Yu raised his head and smiled with confidence: "Miss, this is also a sea change, are you too underestimating my Yu Xuanzi?" ”
……
Half an hour later, still accompanied by the old slave, Ah Jiu and Xiaoyu left the inner library, but as soon as they went out, they saw Shangguan Qingliu waiting outside.
Shangguan Qingliu first looked at their hands, and then glanced at their cuffs and waists, and found that they were not bulging, and the expression on his face immediately relaxed a little, but then he stared at Ah Jiu's eyes and said, "What did Niangniang take?" ”
Taking out a golden hairpin with a sapphire from a small purse on his waist, Ah Jiu smiled and said, "Grandfather, don't worry, I just took some of my mother's things." ”
