The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 139 Silver Ingots

Sitting on the carriage, Mrs. Li glanced at the seven cans of honey from time to time. When the carriage came to the entrance of the village, Butler Tang saw the carriage.

Tang Butler, who wanted to stay here for a while, felt a sweet smell like the wind blowing from the carriage.

This smell is very familiar, it is exactly the honey fragrance he has eaten cakes and drank chrysanthemum tea.

Seeing that the carriage didn't stop, he knew that Mrs. Li must be sitting in the carriage. He didn't see the people inside, but he knew the carriage in his house and the driver who drove the carriage.

"Guards, let's go back to the city..." Tang Butler suddenly gave an order, and the guards who heard the order all led their horses out, and also led Tang Butler's horse out.

Before Steward Tang got on his horse, he explained a few words to Ye Senhai who was managing the workers, got on his horse and chased the carriage away.

Butler Tang was followed by two guards, and they also ran quickly.

Ye Senhai was quite puzzled by Tang Butler, who had half an hour to go back to the city. He was half an hour early today, and he didn't dare to ask Tang Butler what he needed to rush back.

Looking at the backs of their horses, they saw a carriage in front of their horses from a distance, and saw them rushing to catch up with their horses.

Ye Senhai guessed that this carriage might be the Tang Mansion's carriage, and he remembered that his brother-in-law's family was going to his father-in-law's house for his birthday today, and it might be the sister-in-law in that carriage.

As for why Steward Tang led the guards to chase the carriage, Ye Senhai understood that they were protecting Mrs. Li in a protective way.

Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Li saw that she was about to go to the town, and heard more hooves of horses, and there were horses traveling with their carriage.

Mrs. Li opened the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, and saw the housekeeper riding on the horse on the left, and two guards riding on the horse on the right, walking in a protective way.

"Butler Tang..."

Tang Butler was thinking about asking Li Shi, when he saw her asking Hou, he said with a smile:

"Hehe, Mrs. Li, did you bring honey with you when you came back this time?"

"How does Steward Tang know?" Li's eyes were puzzled. Could it be that the husband told him in advance?

"Ho Ho, the smell of honey is coming out of the carriage. I don't know if I know it or not. I just smell the smell of honey, so I chased them back together."

"Tang Butler, I will also give the things to the eldest lady when I bring them back."

"This is different. If someone knows the news and intercepts it at the door, you dare not refuse it. How can it be?"

"This is also..."

Mrs. Li knows that her status in the Tang Mansion is low, and there are so many masters in the Tang Mansion. If someone really intercepts at the door, she can't deal with others, let alone give money. I dare not cause trouble.

Tang Butler thought so thoughtfully, Li Shi showed gratitude that this man who was older than her was very careful.

Seeing Li Shi's eyes, Tang Butler smiled and said, "I don't know how many catties of honey are in the carriage?"

"There are seven cans of honey, one of which is two catties of honey nest. I heard that eating this kind of honey nest is more beautiful, it looks like a small jar of one catty."

After listening to Mrs. Li's words, Steward Tang smiled even more, and said, "There is progress. It used to be five catties, but now it is six catties more than eight catties. It's not bad. Although it can't be used by the family, it will be stored first. It’s okay to come to give gifts.”

"Oh, Tang Butler, can you not spread the word that I sent the honey. I hear people asking me about the honey every day. Maybe there is not much honey produced, and I don't know where I buy the honey. Yes, it's not good to refuse others!"

"Okay, understand, I'll give you the honey money later."

"No, no, my husband said thank you for the gift you prepared for us today, so let's take these honeys as a gift in return!"

"How is this possible? We have picked up a big bargain, and the money will definitely be given to you. Don't refuse it. Our family is not short of this money, but you are different."

"Oh..." Mrs. Li thought about it too. If her husband didn't get help today and bought gifts with money, those money would also be rewards from the Tang family.

"Here, this is five taels of silver. We've got a great deal. I'm afraid you won't accept it. Next time Li Fujun has honey, we have to buy it at a high price."

Tang Butler threw out a silver dollar, five taels of silver, from the money bag in his pocket.

Li Shi saw the silver dollars thrown into the carriage by Steward Tang. This was the first time she had received the most money, and she had never touched the silver dollars.

She touched the silver dollar with her hand, cherishing the five taels of silver very much, and put the silver in her pocket.

In order not to let others know, Tang Butler leaked the news, kept the uncle driving the carriage tight-lipped, and told the two guards to keep silent.

Would they dare not listen to Steward Tang's words?
The coachman was actually quite puzzled. He was the one who transported Mrs. Li and his family all the way. Where did the family buy the honey?

Could it be in Nawa Kiln?Oh, by the way, I saw that the crock pots coming out of Wayao had been washed. At that time, he thought the boss was so diligent and sold crock pots to help wash them.

The coachman's conjecture was not shared with Steward Tang.

Butler Tang did not enter through the gate with the guards this time, he also entered through the side entrance.

Mrs. Li got out of the car with her little bundle first, and then went back to the young master's yard without caring about honey, and missed the young master for a day.

The steward and the guards entered the side door, asked the guards to watch the horses, called the coachman and two guards, and asked them to hold two earthen pots of honey each, and him to carry one pot of honey, and send the things into the warehouse first.

After sending it into the warehouse, and asking the person in charge of the warehouse, don’t tell others about the honey. Even if someone knows about the honey, they can’t take the honey out.

The woman in charge of the warehouse, and the accountant who kept the books, listened to the housekeeper's words, and they nodded respectfully in agreement.

Butler Tang's power in managing the affairs of the house, as well as the outside business of the master and the young master, earned the trust of the master and the young master. His power was greater than that of an ordinary master who had no authority in the house.

Everything in the house should be under the orders of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady also entrusted Tang Steward with many things, such as purchasing.

When the coachman took out the earthen jars from the carriage, he was quite puzzled. He had seen Li and her husband bought more than 20 small earthenware jars from Wayao, but he didn't count how many there were.

When Mrs. Li returned home, she didn't take out the crock pots, nor did her husband and family members take out the crock pots, so where did those crock pots go?
The coachman didn't dare to say more in front of Butler Tang, and kept the matter in his heart.

Steward Tang ordered the stewards, and asked the guards to lead the horses to the stables.

He happily came to Da Furen's courtyard, entered the living room, and saw Da Furen giving orders to a woman in charge.

He went in and stood aside waiting for them to finish their chat. A servant girl saw Butler Tang come in and served him tea.

The eldest lady saw Steward Tang, and saw that he came back half an hour earlier than usual.

Knowing that he must have something to report, he ordered a few more words to the woman and waved her down.
