Concubine Raiders Chapter 298: Old people (part 2)
Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety-Eight The Old Man (Part 2)
The wells of each house are usually located beside the kitchen, in the backyard.
A man jumped into a well?
Eleven Niang stared at Lu Yonggui: "General Niu's nephew jumped into the well?"
Although Lu Yonggui is not often in the mansion, he has been paying attention to the affairs of the mansion. When he saw Amber at Ciyuan Temple that day, he knew that the matter might not be covered. When I returned home, I heard my younger brother bragging in front of him, saying how his wife called him, and dreaming there, saying that his time is running, maybe he will be like Yang Huizu. He then thought of the Sanye family leaving happily, and the Eleven Niang took over the Houfu's Zhongcui without any resistance or any waves. He knew that the Fourth Lady was not a simple person. Besides, he is in charge of the property Yuanniang left behind. That's a lot of money. Although she readily handed over the management to Luo Zhenxing, who knows what she thought in her heart?
He doesn't know the person in front of him too much, let alone know what she knows.
Even if you want to get away, you have to clear up your suspicion with the person in front of you, and make her happy-the steward of a wealthy family wants to stand on her own. It is impossible without the support of the old boss. It offends the old boss, and even more so It's hard to move an inch.
If the other party is a pebble, you are just an egg, no, maybe not even an egg, just a quail egg.
Lu Yonggui did not dare to gamble. I dare not bet on my own future, my younger brother's future.
So, he chose to calmly narrate those facts: "People are fished out of the well, so naturally they jumped into the well."
Eleven mothers secretly shuddered in her heart.
Things are more complicated than she thought. But she became more determined to figure out Lu Yonggui's position.
"What happened to the accounts of the Hangzhou shop?" She asked Lu Yonggui lightly.
I saw Lu Yonggui shook his hand, and slowly released it.
"It is said that a sum of money has disappeared. Because the person dealing with it is Big Mao, Chief Niu took the blame and resigned."
"Before Da Mao died or after Da Mao died?"
"What?" Lu Yonggui looked up at Eleven Mother.
"The money is gone, before or after Da Mao died?"
"After death?"
What a coincidence.
First, the wife who had not gone through the door was caught by the master... Then Da Mao jumped into the well, and Chief Niu resigned...
She remembered when she first arrived at Luo's house. The three rooms of the Luo family live in Yuhang. Although the second wife and third wife were quite critical of some of the big wife’s actions, the big wife came because the old lady Luo was paralyzed in bed and was unable to preside over the middle feed. She became a family within two years of her marriage. ; Secondly, Mrs. Luo was sick for seven or eight years. During this period, the eldest wife was sick in front of the bed. When Mrs. Luo went there, all three sons were on duty, and they were given away by the eldest wife. Not to mention the two concubines, even the second master and third master should respect the eldest wife.
Now that Guan Shi Lu said, this must involve the replacement of the old and new forces of the Luo family.
"Then Wu Xiao's family took over the job of Chief Niu?"
"No!" Obediently, Lu Yonggui knew that Shi Niang fully understood what he had not said. A look of fear flashed in his eyes.
This Mrs. Yongping Hou, there is no time for this year!
He simply said: "First, a steward who had served by the deceased grandfather had been in charge for some days, but did not manage well, so he changed to a steward who had served the grandfather. Several errands were also broken. The eldest lady recommended Xu Deping to the old lady. Who knows that she fell from a horse before taking over. The old lady called Mr. Niu and asked him to recommend one, Mr. Niu recommended Mr. Wu. Mr. Wu After taking over, there were some small mistakes at the beginning, but fortunately there was no ambiguity in the major matter. The old lady appointed Director Wu. With the help of the old master as if he was pouring money on the office, the Director Wu could always balance the accounts. Wu The position of Chief Manager is considered stable."
When Eleven Niang thought of coming to Yanjing from Yuhang, Wu Xiao's family asked her to give Lu Yonggui food.
"Manager Lu and Wu Xiaoquan are in a good relationship, right?" She asked euphemistically.
"Although Mrs. Wu is the eldest wife’s companion room, what the eldest wife likes most is Xu Deping, the head of Xu’s mother who died young.” Lu Yonggui said, “When Mr. Wu first came to Luo’s house, he was studying with his father. Settling the accounts. Although there is no name of master and apprentice, there is the truth of master and apprentice. Therefore, we are very close to our two brothers. Later, our two brothers were able to come to Yongping Hou Mansion with aunt and grandma, thanks to the recommendation of Mr. Niu to Wu Xiaoquan , Sponsor."
That's why the second aunt said that the Lu brothers' ability to come to the Yongping Hou Mansion was all the credit of Chief Niu?
Eleven mothers said: "Then Wu Xiaoquan knew that two aunts came to Yanjing to look for Lu in charge?"
Lu Yonggui said: "The little ones don't know."
The answer was straightforward.
There are usually two situations in which people use this tone. One is to conceal something, and the other is to be fearless in my heart.
Lu Yonggui, which one is it?
Eleven mothers smiled slightly and said: "The two aunts have settled in Ciyuan Temple, do you think it is good for Lu Guanshi to come?"
Lu Yonggui's head hangs lower: "Compared with other monasteries, Master Jining, the presiding officer of Ciyuan Temple, is somewhat real and practical. The villain also hopes that the two aunts will have a place to settle down in their later years. "
In other words, if the two aunts can be accepted by Jining, this manager Lu is very helpful.
"I heard that two aunts donated five thousand taels of sesame oil money to Ciyuan Temple. Does Director Lu know about this?"
Lu Yonggui raised his head, his face full of consternation.
Eleven Niang has a slight disdain in her eyes.
Without money to knock on the door, with Lu Yonggui, a small manager of the Hou Mansion, how could he be able to talk to Jining. If he didn't know, she didn't believe it.
Lu Yonggui couldn't help but smile when he saw it. Said: "At that time, the two aunts brought me three thousand taels of silver bills, saying that three people were going to settle down at Ciyuan Temple. Master Jining agreed at first. Later, after learning about the situation, they returned the money. Both of them. My aunt went to see Master Jining in person. I waited outside the door. The two aunts and Master Jining talked for half an hour in the wing, and then Master Jining agreed that the two aunts stay in the temple."
Three?
Now it was Eleven Mother's turn to feel shocked.
She turned her mind quickly.
Aunt Yang knew that she had died soon, and she wanted to repair the relationship between Shi Niang and the eldest wife, but the eldest wife did not appreciate it at all. Aunt Yang couldn't help but took out savings over the years and asked the two aunts to take Shi Niang out of Luo's house. The two aunts thought of Lu Yonggui, and then brought Shi Niang to Yanjing.
What after? Is Shi Niang going back to Luo's house? Or did the two aunts encourage Shi Niang to return to the Luo family?
This question, I am afraid I can only ask Shi Niang herself!
Eleven Mother saw the door curtain sway slightly.
Thinking that she would go to Zhongqin Bofu with Madam later, she served tea: "I am just curious about some old things in the past, and I will have to ask Mr. Lu in the future!"
Lu Yonggui heard the tone of Shi Niang and knew that the matter was not over yet. But Xi Niang was curious about old things, so he couldn't help but not tell. He murmured in response, bowed and retired.
Eleven Mother told Amber: "Call me Liu Taiping, the son of Liu Yuanrui."
Amber left, and she only started to see the mothers in charge.
When the matter was finished, Eleven Niang met Liu Taiping, who had been standing by the eaves waiting.
"Do you know that there is a man named Lu Yonggui in the Fourth Young Master's House?"
"I know!" Liu Taiping said, "We are all from Luo's family. Everyone often mentions him in front of me. They say he is very good and will make money."
"Do you know him?"
"I don't know!" Liu Taiping said honestly, "But I know Brother Yongfu. He works in the stable. Last time my mother went back, he had to give me a car."
"Then did your mother sit down?"
Liu Taiping blushed, and he kept silent for a long time.
A person like Liu Yuanrui's family who can speak good words actually gave birth to such a solid-eyed son.
Eleven mother laughed, and she was caught and gave him the candy. Said: "Lu Yongfu's brother Lu Yonggui is back. He is in charge of the business in the Fourth Young Master's house, and he is walking outside all the year round. I am afraid that he will not be a good servant with the Fourth Young Master. During his days in Yanjing, you will temporarily follow him. , Who helped bring tea, pour water, and wash clothes. But where did he go? Who did he meet? What did he do while staying in the house? Tell me one to five. You can Can you do it?"
"You can do it!" Liu Taiping nodded hurriedly, and said in confusion, "Then, what if he doesn't let me follow?"
"Just tell him, this is what I mean."
Liu Taiping nodded repeatedly.
Eleven Niang rewarded him with a handful of copper coins and asked Mother Song to send Liu Taiping to Lu Yonggui.
Amber said: "Madam, do you want to send someone to stare at him secretly?"
"No need!" Eleven mother said, "I just want to express my attitude. Lu Yonggui is a smart man. He wants to understand and will come to see me again!"
Eleven Niang went back to the yard and changed to a maroon-red hang silk wide-sleeved shirt with **** peony flowers, combed a high bun, and wearing a southern bead hoop, and went to Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai changed the black-colored gold gourd double-happiness hanging silk twill, combed a round bun, inserted a jasper hairpin, and wore a jade bracelet.
Seeing that Eleven Niang has only one hoop all over her body, she asked Mama Du to find out her pair of Nanzhu bracelets: "It's as big as the beads on your headband, it looks like a set."
Eleven mothers hurriedly declined.
Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "I am young and old now, and I like shiny things. I kept it under the bottom of the box, so I might as well give it to you." As he said, suddenly remembered, he told Mama Du: "I I remember I still have earplugs for Nanzhu, and you can also find them for the fourth lady." Then smiled and looked at the eleven mothers, "Today I wear a hairpin and the same earplugs. It looks a bit dull. You stay. Which day is the right time to wear. I only wore that bracelet today."
With the kindness of the elders, Eleven Niang no longer insisted, and smiled and thanked the lady.
Mother Du brought a rectangular carved red lacquer box over.
Open it and take a look. It's a bracelet, but it's a foot long and can be worn as a necklace.
"Come~IndoMTL.com~I'll put it on for you." Madam Tai put the Nanzhu bracelet around Eleven Niang's wrist, about seven or eight times, like a hand hoop, wearing With the wide sleeves of the jersey, it is looming between the hands and feet, there is a kind of reserved luxury.
Eleven Mother liked it very much, and smiled again to thank Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai was also very happy, and looked at her up and down, like a child, with a look of satisfaction after changing the puppet to beautiful clothes.
Eleven Niang helped Mrs. Tai into the carriage.
