Houmen's concubine

Chapter 278
Wang Tong'er planned to ask Gu Yiming to go to the bookstore and tell Gu Yiming to ask him to find a bricklayer tomorrow to divide the house into two, build a wall in the middle to separate it, and then open a door on the west courtyard wall. That's enough, to save the two families from living together and quarreling in the future. At that time, I don't know if I have done a good thing or a bad thing?
"Thank you benefactor!" The daughter-in-law of the Wang family wanted to kneel down to Wang Tong'er again after she finished speaking. She hadn't shed tears of excitement today, and the gloomy eyes that had been on her face before were gone. At this moment, people suddenly had hope and regained their spirits. .

"Don't mind," Wang Tong'er quickly pulled her up and said, "When I get the money tomorrow, I will buy a loom like Gu Xiucai's daughter, so that I can support myself and my children."

Ning Zhifu came over when Wang Tonger asked Manager Zhu to count the list of the families of the dead, and looked at her with astonishment and admiration.

Feeling in my heart: If this person can go to high school in the future, he must be a good official who is dedicated to serving the people, and he will make great achievements!
Xiao Yan sent Wang Tong'er back to the Qin residence, Wang Tong'er got off the carriage, and returned to Qilin Courtyard, "Nurse Xu?"

"Young Master is back!" Xiao Cong hurriedly ran out from the back cover when he heard Wang Tong'er calling for Nanny Xu. "Well, where's Nanny Xu?"

"Nurse Xu followed Miss Xue'er to the bookstore." Xiao Cong replied hastily.

"Oh, I see."

So I told Xiaoyan: "Go to Madam Xu and ask her to give the key to Zucchini Street to Mr. Gu, the accountant of the bookshop, and ask him to go home and help find some bricklayers to divide the house I bought into two." Build a wall..."

Seeing that Wang Tong'er was out on errands today, Madam Xu followed Xiaoxue to the bookstore to help out.

"Okay, let's go now, little one." Xiao Yan jumped across the wall from the west courtyard wall without leaving the courtyard gate.

Seeing Xiao Cong is very envious.

······
The next day, Wang Tong'er had just finished breakfast when Xiao Cong came over to report: "Master, there is a man named Zhu outside who said that the steward of the saltworks came to see you. Also,"

"Huh? What else?" Xiao Cong hesitated: "There are many women and children outside the gate, saying they are here to get some pension."

"Well, I see. You and Xiao Min go ahead and tell that manager Zhu to ask him to lead people to the front living room according to the list in his hand, and say that I will be there soon."

"Yes, master." Xiao Cong agreed, and greeted Xiao Min who was still working in the back room: "Xiao Min, follow me to the front yard!"

"I'm coming!"

Wang Tong'er stood up and said to Nanny Xu, "Is the money ready?"

"Master, this old slave has prepared everything. It is 500 taels of silver in total, and there are fifty pennies in addition."

Yesterday when Nanny Xu came back from the bookshop, Wang Tong'er asked her to take out the banknotes and hand them over to Xiaoyan to exchange for silver.

Yi Wang Tong'er's plan is to give them 100 taels of silver per household, and tell Mother Xu when they get home.

Upon hearing this, Mother Xu hurriedly dissuaded her: "Master, absolutely not." Seeing Wang Tonger's face of Mo Ming, she hurriedly explained: "100 taels is not much for rich families, but for ordinary people Too much. They may not be able to save so much money in their poor life. What's more, it was given to them by you, young master, and it was known by their neighbors and clansmen. Besides, if people with malicious intentions find out, it is a trivial matter to be stolen, but it is a serious matter to seek wealth and murder. When that time comes, young master, although you have done good deeds, it will be said by those with good intentions because you gave The silver is too ostentatious, so it attracts thieves to kill the whole family. At that time, it will not only hurt your kindness, young master, but also damage your reputation, young master."

When Wang Tong'er heard this, she was really too tender.

Mother Xu's analysis is still right!

It's like having an old family like a treasure!

Wang Tong'er hurriedly reviewed and said: "Nurse Xu reminded you rightly, it was because I didn't think carefully."

"How about, give them 50 taels of silver per household, plus a small amount of money, say to the outside world that I think they are pitiful, and give them some money for orphans and widows to buy some food, is it feasible?"

"Okay, as long as we let them hide the money well and hold the small money on the bright side, others won't be jealous." Nanny Xu nodded in agreement.

At this time, Wang Tong'er took Nanny Xu and the others to the front hall, and asked Nanny Xu to distribute the silver taels without showing up.

After being reminded by Nanny Xu, she thought of the old saying: People's hearts are unpredictable, and seawater is unpredictable.

In case you meet someone who is not on the way, and you don't get a good word after giving them money, don't say something that can choke someone to death, and lose your good mood for nothing.

So, Wang Tong'er walked over and sat in the living room. Nanny Xu set up a long table under the eaves outside the living room. Xiao Cong and Xiao Min stood beside Nanny Xu and helped her divide the money into two.

Manager Zhu reported a person's name, and his widow went to Madam Xu's desk to collect the silver taels.Of course, the woman who received the money kowtowed to Nanny Xu and Guanshi Zhu, thanking her a thousand times.

On the way, there was only one daughter-in-law of Wu's family, Mrs. Zhang, who died. Seeing Madam Xu's bright clothes and flushed face, she felt envious and felt that it would be good to be a servant of the Qin family. She asked Madam Xu: "This old sister-in-law , what is your monthly routine?"

Mother Xu doesn't know what she means?He didn't say that what he took was six taels of silver, so he discounted it, and replied, "Three taels of silver."

Unexpectedly, it attracted the envy of Widow Zhang: "Hey! This is a lot! You have saved up these 50 taels of silver for more than a year. Tsk tsk, the Qin family really has money!"

Widow Zhang said this, and moved closer to Madam Xu: "Old sister-in-law, can you help the little lady talk to your master, I will also come to Qin's house to work."

Nanny Xu was speechless, it was fortunate that she came to help the young master distribute the money, otherwise, when encountering such a thing, the young master would either answer or not, or not.

Nanny Xu flatly refused to the nearly forty-year-old woman with yellow teeth in front of her, "I'm sorry for this old sister-in-law, the Qin family doesn't hire old women to do work."

"You, you are not younger than me, why can you do it, but I can't?"

Nanny Xu was waiting to go back to her, when Guan Shi Zhu came over with a dark face and reprimanded him: "Mr. Wu's family, what are you talking about? You don't want to take the money and go back early, so don't stand in the way!"

It was still useful for Guanshi Zhu to speak, but with such a stern voice, Widow Zhang silenced her voice immediately, picked up the money and was about to leave.

"Put the money in place, don't show it outside, just tell people that the Qin family gave you the money, you know?" Steward Zhu didn't even thank her when he saw her, turned around and left with his thin lips, he couldn't help but ordered harshly .

"Well, I know!"

Manager Zhu just said to Nanny Xu: "Mommy, I'm sorry!"

Nanny Xu shook her head helplessly: "It's okay, who's coming next?"

But in my heart I was feeling: What a rat droppings spoiled a pot of porridge...

　Guanshi Zhu: This Wu Er's family is too ignorant, and the money that others gave her to live is still here to get a second look!
