Chapter 154: The Mother of Debt Collection
Gentleness got up early in the morning, and instructed Xiuyue and Shufang to close for a day, and take the initiative to send the things that the distinguished guests needed.
Xiu Yue looked at her curiously: "Is there anything going on today?"
"It's fine. He looked at the mirror with a smile and said gently: "I might have to make a fuss with someone." ”
Xiu Yue was a little dazed, and just as she was thinking about it, the person in front of her stood up. Dressed in a floral brocade skirt, wrapped in a cloak of white fox fur, and a set of gold and jade jewelry on his head, he looked generous and decent, and the air of wealth came to his face.
"Wow. Blinking, Xiu Yue sighed: "Sister Wen always doesn't like to dress up, but when she dresses up, she looks better than others!"
"It's so sweet in the mouth. He touched Xiuyue's head with a smile, and said gently: "You follow me today, when I didn't call you, even if the other side called, you shouldn't do it, you know?"
Ling Xiuyue was a little dazed, and Shu Fang next to her frowned directly: "Master, who will call?"
"Who else could be?" opened the door and glanced outside, squinted gently, and said with a smile: "Today, the Liu family arrived in Xingcheng, and I heard that her life is not very good. ”
Shu Fang was stunned for a moment, looked down and thought about it, and her brows furrowed even tighter.
Liu's greed, after being divorced, he must have been forced to be anxious by gambling debts, and his own master was divorced, if not, he would definitely come to ask his master for money.
"That'...... What are you doing with all this swagger? Let's close the shop and go out to avoid the limelight, shall we?"
"It doesn't matter. Smile gently: "I can't bear the child to catch the wolf." ”
This layer of window paper will be pierced sooner or later, so a strong player like Liu will need to be happy.
In a gentle estimate, Liu came to ask her for silver at most, but what she didn't expect was that Liu was dragged to a teahouse halfway before coming to Liulixuan.
"What did you say?" glaring at Du Fuqu in front of him, Liu, who was dressed in coarse cloth clothes and was embarrassed, was surprised: "Gentle and rich?"
Du Fuqu sighed, and looked at her with sympathy in his eyes: "You don't know yet, do you? The money she earned is enough to pay off your gambling debts, but she has no intention of saving you, she is hiding from pleasure by herself, where does she care about your life or death?"
After looking at her twice, Liu sighed slightly: "I didn't expect that after raising her for half a lifetime, in the end, you still have respect for me." ”
Du Fuqu covered her lips and blinked: "After all, I am more human, unlike her, you have provided her with pleasure for so many years, and she doesn't miss you at all." ”
The more he listened, the more angry he became, and Liu slapped the table and stood up: "I only heard that she has a good life and plans to come to her, who knows that she is so unfilial and careless about her mother's life and death! I'm going to find her!"
"Well, be careful. Du Fuqu chuckled: "People are full of thugs in the store now, don't let people make it ugly." ”
"She dares to bombard me?" Liu frowned: "I'm her mother!"
If it really hits out, she will make a lot of noise! Since ancient times, filial piety has come first, and if she dares to be unfilial, where can she still open a store?!
Rushing downstairs in a rage, Liu snorted coldly and went all the way to Liulixuan.
Second Young Master Xiao also got up early in the morning today, sat at the door and counted for a while, and when he turned around, he saw that someone had come out, and he quickly turned over and got on the horse.
"Hey, Second Young Master!" Xu Shi chased him out and hurriedly said: "Don't be so anxious first, gentleness is just a momentary twist, and you will return to the Du family in two days!"
Pinching the reins, Xiao Jingtang's face sank like water: "Madame, don't panic too much, I just want to go to Liulixuan to have a look, her business has been doing well recently, and the new things are selling better than the Xiao family, and I also want to learn from one or two." ”
Having said that, Xu Shi was very worried, for fear that Xiao Jingtang would be unhappy and hurt the gentleness, so he pinched his handkerchief and hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll go with the second young master." ”
Today, Master Du went out to drink tea with his old friend, and he asked her not to go out, but this ...... If you don't go out, you can't do it
"Madame should rest in the house. "Didn't answer him, Xiao Jingtang rode his horse and left.
However, this was neither fast nor slow, Xu Shi saw that he could catch up, and immediately got into the carriage parked next to him and asked the coachman to follow.
When I was about to arrive at Wen's Liulixuan, it was not surprising that there was already a circle of people there.
Xiao Jingtang raised his eyebrows, dismounted and walked over, and heard a noise in the center of the crowd.
"What's wrong with my gambling money? Hey, you said that the ladies of the rich family now, how many of them don't have a preference? I gamble because your father was hooked up by a fox and took away, and I gambled because I was bored! You were raised by me, what happened to give me silver? Shouldn't it? Look at your rich and noble appearance now, and then look at my down-and-out appearance, you can see it?!"
was sprayed by her spittle, gently wiped the handkerchief with a blank face, and said lightly: "I have been suspended by the Xiao family for many days, and I haven't seen you ask a word halfway." ”
"I ...... Am I also embarrassed! How can I ask you?"
"What about now?" raised his eyes to look at Liu, and asked gently, "Are you not embarrassed now?"
"Didn't I hear that you got ahead, and I rushed to defect?" Frowning, Liu softened his color, swept around the people around, and sighed: "It's not good for us to quarrel here, you still give me the silver, let's go in and say, can it be done?"
Gentle, she wanted to laugh: "You asked me for 20,000 taels when you came up, where can I conjure it up for you?"
"You have such a big store, you can't take out 20,000 taels?!" Looking at her in disbelief, Liu sneered: "You're afraid you just don't want to give it, right?"
"Hmm. Nodding his head, he said gently: "Even if you have money, I don't plan to give it to you." ”
"You!" His face changed suddenly, and Liu Shi smiled angrily: "You have money, why don't you give it to me!
"Filial piety is not foolishness. Gently said: "I know that you are going to continue gambling, why should I give it to you?"
There was another noise at the door, and the people next to him were talking. When Xu dismounted, he saw a gentle and silent standing in front of Liu, and was pushed away by her slap.
"Sister!" His face turned pale, and he couldn't care about Xiao Jingtang next to him, Xu Shi hurriedly ran over, frowned in front of gentleness, and said, "What are you doing?"
"Yo he?" As soon as he saw Xu's, Liu's hair stood on end like a fried turkey, staring at her and saying, "Isn't this Mrs. Du today?
Taking a slight half step back, Xu lowered his head timidly: "No matter what, the child is innocent." ”
