Chapter 61: Breaking the Door
When Mama Yuan saw Mama Zhong coming back, she was very surprised, but her face didn't show it, she knew that there must be a secret between Mama Zhong and the Huo family, but she hid it from her.
However, she knew that Mama Zhong was here to ask for silver.
So, taking this opportunity, she mentioned the matter of selling a shop.
Huo Shi was moved when he heard this, but he was still a little hesitant.
"Madam, the old slave doesn't know how to operate, but there is another one opposite our tea shop, and the business can be okay with the original, but now? Aside from labor and costs, how much more can you earn? Mama Yuan said while peeking at Huo's face, "When the old slave went to get the silver a few days ago, I heard from the shopkeeper that a rich merchant in the south had taken a fancy to our shop, and asked someone to ask about it, and he was willing to pay 1,000 taels to accept the shop." ”
"A thousand taels?"
"That's what the shopkeeper said, saying that he has taken a fancy to the ground, of course, it's been a few days, whether people have bought a more suitable one, or whether they want us, it's not clear." Mama Yuan sighed.
"I want to think about it."
Mama Yuan respectfully withdrew.
Huo wanted to go to his husband to discuss, but Jiang Changgong didn't want to care about anything now, and he couldn't go to the battlefield anyway, so now he wanted to live a few more days.
As for how the house is, let the Huo family call the shots, as long as he doesn't shorten his food and clothing.
"General, now the house is already stretched." Huo Shi took a deep breath, "If there is no new entry, it will not be enough at all with the little money you make every month as a general." ”
"If it's not enough, you earn it." Jiang Changgong was very annoyed, "You have been in charge of this family for decades, and now you can't do it?" If you can't do it, find someone who can do it. ”
"But ......"
"Alright, don't bother me." Jiang Changgong waved his hand impatiently, "The eldest daughter-in-law has silver, didn't she keep paying for it before?" Why don't you just let her be in charge? I have to hold on to it. ”
"I ......"
"I'm going to rest." Jiang Changgong turned around and entered the inner room.
Huo Shi wanted to scream angrily, but the general's wife's frame made her serve for a lifetime, and her self-proclaimed quality made her unable to act as a shrew, and finally she could only leave Songzhu Courtyard with her chest covered.
"Madam, just now Mama Zhong came over to ask when she can leave Beijing." Mama Yuan whispered.
Huo Shi didn't say anything, she felt uncomfortable, but she didn't think it was their incompetence, but blamed Ning Ruyan in her heart, you said that you paid money before, and now you continue to pay for it, isn't it?
Mama Yuan glanced at Huo's face and knew that it was not easy to talk more at this time.
"Go to Ochiwon." After walking a few steps, Huo suddenly changed direction.
Mama Yuan could only help people and walked in the direction of Wutong Courtyard.
"Mother." At this moment, a group of people walked over next to him, led by Jiang Mingzhu, "Are you going to see the Ning family?" ”
"That's your sister-in-law."
"Okay." Jiang Mingzhu waved her hand, "What are you going to do with her?" ”
"Why are you here?" Huo Shi frowned, "You have a body, don't run around." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not a big month now, and it's good to move around." Jiang Mingzhu didn't care.
"When is the son-in-law coming?"
He ...... It's just a few days. Jiang Mingzhu's eyes flashed with a touch of discomfort, but it quickly disappeared.
And Huo, who was thinking about other things, didn't find anything, but nodded: "You have been married for the past two years, and you finally got pregnant, but you have to take good care of the fetus, if this baby is a son, your position will be stable." ”
"Got it." Jiang Mingzhu nodded impatiently.
"Hurry back, when your son-in-law comes, you will also go to pay tribute to your eldest brother." Huo Shi was about to leave after speaking.
"Mother, are you going to find her? I'm with you. ”
"What are you going to do?"
"My sister-in-law has been back for two days, and she hasn't said anything?" Jiang Mingzhu pouted, "Isn't she once the richest man in Jiangnan?" Even if the Ning family is not the richest man now, it must be rich, let me go with you to take a look. ”
Huo's was originally in a bad mood, but now he was even worse by his daughter's angry words, and he stood there and closed his eyes for a while before he came to his senses: "What are you talking about?" How? Yang Jiaxiao, have you eaten and worn? Then should I ask your in-laws......
"Mother, what do you say?" Jiang Mingzhu hurriedly interrupted Huo's words, "I'll just say casually, okay, if you don't go, you won't go, I'm tired, go back." Then he turned and walked away.
Huo Shi looked at his daughter with quick legs, frowned, and glanced at Mama Yuan, but in the end, he swallowed back what he was about to say, and went straight towards Wutong Courtyard.
The Wutong Courtyard was lively at this time, and after Zisu came back, he was pulled by Ning Ruyan to be the head of the sect for everyone.
Shisu originally thought that everyone was messing around, but after hearing that the eldest lady almost had an accident, she put away her mind of playing, and really began to teach the people of Wutong Academy seriously, not only Banxia Angelica Xiaoshan Xiaohua, but even the mother-in-law who guarded the door had to follow suit.
Although everyone thinks it's a bit of a fuss, they know that it's for the good of the eldest lady, so they don't complain.
The venue for martial arts training is in the backyard, and there is no one in front of it, so it is all closed.
When Huo Shi arrived at the gate of Wutong Courtyard, he saw the closed door and couldn't help frowning: "What are you doing inside?" Why are the doors closed at this time? ”
Mama Yuan shook her head and motioned for a little girl who followed behind to come forward and knock on the door.
But after knocking for a long time, no one responded.
"What about people?" Huo Shi was a little annoyed, "If you can't open it again, let people come and tear down the door." ”
Wutong Courtyard is a three-entry courtyard, the backyard is a certain distance from the front yard, and the people in the backyard are busy, so it is normal not to hear the knock in front.
The Huo family, who knocked for a long time and didn't see anyone open the door, was really angry, and directly called the housekeeper over: "Tear down this door." ”
The housekeeper Jiang Cheng was a little confused: "Madam, this ...... Demolished? ”
"Demolished." Huo Shi waved his hand.
So, the housekeeper hurriedly gathered a group of subordinates and came to tear down the door.
The movement of tearing down the door was much louder than knocking on the door, but it was Zisu who heard it first, and was the first to run over to see, and was stunned: "Old lady, what are you doing here?" ”
Ning Ruyan also got the news and rushed over, looking at the gate that had been demolished, her face was a little ugly: "Mother, what does this mean?" ”
Huo Shi felt a little impulsive at this time, but she would not admit her mistake after doing it, and then her face sank: "Ning, what do you mean by being embarrassed?" I knocked here for a quarter of an hour and no one came to open it, and I thought something was going on inside, and your men were dead? (End of chapter)
