She makes money by carrying large bags to raise cubs!

Chapter 21
There was no sound in the main hall.

Cheng Yang and Chang Feng secretly looked at her sister's face, and Steward Lu was also a little anxious behind the master, "My master, didn't we talk about it in two days? Why did you explain everything today?"

Father Lu looked like a bachelor.

"father."

"Hey, girl!"

"Is our family out of money?"

"Girl, how can you say that? Dad has a salary every month, save some money, and still won't starve anyone."

Steward Lu had a bitter face, and now that he had reached this point, he decided to go all out, "Master, you forgot that your salary has been drawn until the next year, and this time you said you were going to pick up your wife and children, so you took it out again." The three-month salary will soon be used up."

General Lu waved his hand indifferently, "Hey, it's okay, girl, son, father has a title, although it's a bit lower, but it's easy to borrow some silver taels, don't worry, I won't short you of food and drink!"

Lu Weimang suddenly felt a little headache, put one hand on the small table next to the chair, supported his forehead, and said weakly, "Steward Lu, tell me, what's going on at home."

"Miss, the master is just too kind. He climbed up from the soldiers all the way. Those brothers who fought with him, if they died, he would give a pension to the family. If they were disabled, he would help them from time to time. Like Mrs. Bai This kind of extreme, she is the only one, but there are some people who really can't live on, so they often come to borrow money. It is said that borrowing money, life in Kyoto is not easy, let alone some orphans and widows, missing arms and legs, so, There are only borrowed ones that have never been returned. Also, during the holidays, the master buys gifts and sends them to the family. So, it doesn’t matter that the master has given away all his family assets over the years, and there has been a famine. At the end of last year, there were still people Come to collect debts. Although the master is a general, they dare not use any means, but coming to the door every day is disgusting enough."

Following Steward Lu's narration, Cheng Yang and Chang Feng looked at each other, Father Lu's head lowered lower and lower, and Lu Weimang's expression became more and more ugly.

"Heh, since that's the case, why don't you marry Mrs. Wu in. The general's sister must have a rich dowry, which can fill the bottomless pit of the family."

Lu Weimang sneered and said.

This morning, she was still immersed in the life of "opening her clothes and opening her mouth", thinking that she could lie down and enjoy herself in the future, but she was slapped in the face in the afternoon.

She said, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky, and even if there is a pie, she can't hit her head. She has never won a prize of more than five yuan. , To believe that good things like opening your hands and opening your mouth can happen to you for no reason!

"Changfeng, return your little bow to General Lu, butler, prepare a car for me. I will take my two younger brothers back to Nanyang. Mrs. Wu in the province dislikes the heavy burden on her father and children, so she doesn't want to marry here."

After saying that, Lu Weimang stood up and walked out, Cheng Yang and Changfeng said nothing, and followed them out.

"Hey, little ancestor, don't be angry with your father. The general also didn't have a mistress to plan for him, so he missed the life. Now that the lady is back, she will definitely be able to live a good life. Miss herself You will be able to buy a big house in a month, and now that you have the master as your backer, there is hope for gold and silver! You two, father and daughter, have two swords together, and good times will come soon!"

Steward Lu hurriedly grabbed the young lady and refused to let her go, then turned to look at the master, "Master, don't be shy now, we are all a family, and the bones are connected. How can she really treat you as a father?" Will you sell it to Mrs. Wu? Come on, tell me a soft word. You and Miss have their own strengths. You can work in the yamen with peace of mind in the future, and leave the house to Miss. Do you still worry about your life in the future? "

Father Lu Qiqi Ai Ai came over and looked at his daughter, "From now on, you will be in charge of the house, and Dad will listen to you. As long as there is wine and meat every day, Dad will not care about anything else."

"Don't, I can't do anything about this bottomless pit, please ask another master."

Looking at the arrogant daughter, Lu Qingshan looked at Steward Lu.

Steward Lu received the distress signal, and hurriedly arranged for it, "Miss, don't be angry right now, let's let the past go, what happens in the future, all the ladies have the final say."

This is what Lu Weimang was waiting for when he made a fuss.

She was worried that Lu Qingshan was a feudal patriarch, but she didn't expect that he was not only easy-going and open-minded, but also brave enough to admit his mistakes and correct them immediately. Even friends, let alone parents, would be so easy-going.

In Lu Weimang's heart, he has long regarded Lu Qingshan as his partner in ancient life, as well as his friend and elder.

"Since you said so, let's make an agreement in three chapters!"

That day, the Lu family didn't have dinner until late at night.

There are three chapters in the agreement between Lu Weimang and Father Lu, summed up in three points: personal freedom, freedom of marriage, and social freedom to make up the numbers.Since she doesn't like to socialize, so that counts.

Before going to bed, Lu Weimang snickered while holding the paper signed by Father Lu, um, a big step towards the goal, gratifying to congratulate.

Early the next morning, Lu Weimang changed from the laziness of the previous few days and started to get busy.

First of all, it is to check the accounts.

How much cash is in the house, how much is spent every month, how much is owed outside, how much is owed in salary, and how much is borrowed out. There must be specific figures.

There is also the amount of boxing gifts that are given out every year on New Year's Day, which must also be prepared in advance.This is Father Lu's insistence, and Lu Weimang does not object.

The housekeeper moved over the ledgers like hills one after another, and Lu Weimang took the pen and paper, and began to make a list.

"Sister, my brother and I will settle the accounts with you today. I will read it to you, and you will do the calculations."

Cheng Yang said that he wanted to help, but Lu Weimang waved his hand and rushed to school.

The two brothers walked out of the main hall, seeing that sister was busy without looking up, they didn't know what to do, and felt very at ease.

In Nanyang County, when their rock candy business first started, Ajie also settled accounts every day, wishing to break a penny into two halves.Although it was bitter at that time, my heart was at ease.

In the past few days, although Ajie hid from the brothers and lay down to enjoy, the brothers saw Ajie's decadence in their eyes.I always feel that although Ajie looks comfortable, her heart is not at ease.At this moment, Elder Sister cheered up again, and the former energy and spirit returned to her. Although the two brothers felt a little unkind, as if they would not see Elder Sister at leisure, they did feel more at ease in their hearts.

The two brothers went out to go to school, Lu Qingshan pretended to be calm and walked to the lobby, watching his daughter busy like an octopus, couldn't help clearing his throat, "Well, I'm going to the Yamen, you should pay attention to rest. Anyway, the account book It’s right there, after a day or two, there’s no difference.”

Lu Weimang didn't bother to distinguish, so he waved his hand, "Go and do it yourself, I have my own measure."

Only then did Father Lu walk out of the main hall lightly.

Go out the door and take a figure-of-eight step.

"Yo, Lao Lu, you look unusual today. If there is something good going on, tell your brother."

On this street, all the low-ranking lords' families similar to the Lu family lived, so everyone was familiar with it and spoke casually.

"No happy event, just a girl's future. There is no way, a girl follows her father, she is talented, haha..."

The person next to him scratched his head, feeling that what he said was a bit confusing.

Lu Qingshan didn't care about the others, he got on his horse and walked away with his chest held high.

These years, the mansion has been full of bad debts. Now it's all right, our old Lu is also taken care of.

The whole day, Lu Weimang was cleaning up the account books. When the sun was setting, Lu Weimang looked at the numbers in his hand and let out a soft breath.

The most important thing in the past few years, of course, is the money owed to outsiders.If someone came to ask for the bill, Lu Weimang would really explode.

Another one is the money owed to the court.As we all know, this is a thunderstorm. It is okay when nothing happens, but if there is a disturbance, it will explode.

There is also the need to prepare the gift money for the next festival.

However, those are things for later. Although she has 10,000 taels from Cheng Mo to buy the rock sugar workshop and more than [-] taels from the sale of the house, it is enough to pay off the debts, but the monthly expenses of the general's mansion, such as transportation expenses, and servants The monthly money, the maintenance of the house, and the relationship between people are all rigid expenses, and it is simply unrealistic to live behind closed doors.

It seems that we have to find a new entry.

Thinking of starting a new business, Lu Weimang couldn't help but think of Bingtang and Cheng Mo.

Forget it, the Bingtang Workshop is given to Cheng Mo.I will no longer be contaminated with half a point in the future.

Lu Weimang has this kind of temper, she is very wary of strangers, no matter how long she has been with people she does not approve of, she will not be able to get close to them.But on the contrary, as long as it is someone she approves, it will be delivered without reservation.

Just like Cheng Mo, she used to treat him as a family member, but he easily discarded his trust.

See you later, it's a stranger.There may be a few polite words in hypocrisy, but nothing else.

Having made up his mind, Lu Weimang decided to go to the streets tomorrow to find inspiration.

Originally, on the day of entering the city, Lu Weimang said that he would go to that street after settling down to have a look, but after being a rice bug for a few days, he forgot about it.

After tidying up all the ledgers, let Steward Lu put them in his study. At this time, Father Lu and his two younger brothers went home one after another.

There is no unexpected situation today, and my family has dinner early.

"Girl, what's the matter? If it's really hard to do, don't worry, at worst, Dad will go to the yamen to collect some salary."

"What you said sounds good. How can you get a salary like you, one for several years? Don't worry about it, you can work with peace of mind. I have an idea in my heart."

"Hey, don't worry about it, dad, I'll leave the family to you."

That satisfied look made Chengyang Changfeng chuckle endlessly.

"What does sister want to do? Do you need me and Changfeng to help?"

"No, you can study with peace of mind. Giving me a good grade at the end of the year will really make my sister happy."

The academies here also have exams, and there are many exam subjects. I heard that there are also archery and horseback riding. Lu Weimang thought, if he was a man, although he had studied for more than ten years, this kind of academy, Lu Weimang Just want to say, she can!
