Chapter 14 Draw a pie
Qing'e quickly went to the ear room. The tea was already bubbling on the stove. Qing'e opened the tea can, put some tea leaves into the teacup, picked up the teapot and left.
The madam asked her to keep an eye on her wife and never leave her.
Here, Jiang Wanning put a letter into Wen Liu's hand: "Go out and read it later."
Wen Liu hurriedly hid the letter.
As soon as Jiang Wanning sat down, she saw a shadow at the door, so she said in a strong tone: "The 1 taels of silver can't be delayed any longer. We must get it together by the end of the month."
Wen Liu understood immediately and took up the conversation with pretense of regret: "Then we can only sell the purchased grain locally at a low price. Originally, we could make a lot of money by transporting it to the north."
"You can take it easy to make money. If this business can't succeed, there are other reasons. If my mother-in-law's Hongfu Building doesn't have this money, it might close down. Besides, I've already promised my mother-in-law."
"My dear lady, you are giving away the shop and paying for it. The dowry given to you by your employer cannot withstand such a torment."
"Mr. Wen, I have married into the Song family, and I am a member of the Song family. The dowry my father gave me is mine, and I can give it to whomever I want." Jiang Wanning's tone became colder.
Wen Liu Yuyu: "I'm the one who said too much."
Qing'e listened outside the door for a while before entering the room. Seeing that both Madam and Mr. Wen had cold faces and the atmosphere in the hall was tense, she smiled and offered tea: "Mr. Wen, please have tea."
Wen Liu made a face, stood up and bowed his hands: "Young lady, I have no other instructions, so I will leave now. I still have to collect the 1 taels!"
Jiang Wan Ning seemed to be angry, her face was like frost, her lips were pursed and she was silent.
Wen Liu fluttered his sleeves and left. Qing'e quickly put down the teapot and said, "I will send Mr. Wen off."
Qing'e caught up with Wen Liu and said, "Mr. Wen, please don't blame me. She has just become the head of the family and has a lot of affairs. She is not in good health, so she is inevitably a little impatient."
Wen Liu sighed: "Qing'e, please advise the young lady. She wants to please the Song family, so she must have a certain temper."
"Mr. Wen, both husband and wife treat my wife very well. Now that my wife's restaurant is in trouble, how can I just sit idly by and ignore it? If I help my wife, my wife will value her more, right?"
Wen Liu nodded, Qing'e was indeed unreliable, no wonder A Ning pushed her away.
Thinking that A Ning was in this huge house with no one he could rely on and was being bullied, Wen Liu wanted to light the Song family on fire.
"Qing'e, why haven't you seen Grandma Chen and Qing Xing?"
"They...are busy with other things."
Wen Liu knew in his heart that Qing'e had lied again, thinking that Grandma Chen and Qing Xing were no longer in the house.
After leaving the Song Mansion and returning to the carriage, Wen Liu took out the letter given to him by the young lady.
It says: How many people need to be brought into the house, and the arrangements must be made by Ya Xing, both inside and outside the house. People must be trustworthy, and the most capable people are called Zhou Li and Yu Niang. This matter will be completed within five days.
There is a female doctor named Lin in Sanxitang. I need her to do something for me. This prescription is my reward. If the job is done, I will give her two more prescriptions.
Find a way to get some paper to make money...
Wen Liu couldn't help but change his face when he saw this. What is the young lady going to do? "
Those who make money for counterfeiting will be jailed, and if the amount is huge, they may even be beheaded.
Wen Liu urgently urged the coachman to speed up and return to Jiangji Silk Shop.
When Qing'e went to see Wen Liu off, Grandma Wang came to Chunhui Hall to find the eldest lady with a smile on her face.
Seeing Fang Rui kneeling in the courtyard, Grandma Wang was startled.
"What mistake did you make? Did you punish me?" Fang Rui just cried.
Grandma Wang was annoyed the most by such unhappy and crying people, so she ignored her.
"Madam, the fabrics have been ordered clearly, and there are two more pieces. Xiao Pan from the silk and satin shop said that Mr. Wen was afraid that it would not be enough, so he gave two more pieces. Mr. Wen is really good at doing things."
Jiang Wan Ning smiled: "Mother Wang, I have something to ask you."
"Have you had any issues with Aunt Cui?"
Grandma Wang was stunned: "No, I have a good relationship with Grandma Cui!"
"That's strange. I see that you are good at getting things done. I originally wanted you to take charge of the affairs of the inner court, but Aunt Cui recommended Aunt Liu."
The corner of Grandma Wang's mouth twitched. She was embarrassed and angry for a moment, and her mood was complicated and difficult to describe.
"Don't take this matter seriously. I'm optimistic about you. But I've just become the head of the family, so I still have to respect Aunt Cui's wishes. You also know that Aunt Cui's wishes are also Madam's wishes. You do your best. , there will still be a chance in the future." Jiang Wanning consoled her and drew another cake for Grandma Wang.
Grandma Wang felt aggrieved: "Thank you very much, Madam, for caring so much about me."
She gave Aunt Cui so many good things and tried to please her with all kinds of flattery, but in the end, it was still not worth the affection between Aunt Liu and Aunt Cui, who were from the same hometown.
In this case, don't blame her for having second thoughts.
Jiang Wanning smiled when he heard this: "Everyone is working for the Song family. However, if you don't serve as the general manager of the inner courtyard, I will also reuse you. From now on, I will privately supplement you with ten taels of silver every month, regardless of what I do next." If you don’t care about this family, this subsidy is indispensable for you.”
Grandma Wang turned from sadness to joy. She understood that the eldest lady was going to start cultivating her own power, and she was the one chosen by the eldest lady. If she behaved well now, in the future, the eldest lady would officially be the head of the family, and her position as the general manager of the inner courtyard would be certain. It's hers.
Besides, that’s ten taels of silver, and it’s available every month.
It is really a blessing for them as slaves to meet such a generous master.
So Grandma Wang solemnly expressed her loyalty: "Don't worry, Madam. From now on, if Madam tells you to go east, I will never go west. I will only be sent by Madam."
Jiang Wan Ning smiled: "The subsidy should be kept secret. You only need to know and I know. Qing'e doesn't even know."
"My slave understands." She is not stupid. How can she just talk about such a good thing? It is the right thing to make a fortune in silence.
However, the eldest lady seems to be a sensible person and knows that Qing'e is unreliable.
In fact, there are some rumors circulating in the house, saying that Qing'e climbed into Lang Jun's bed.
Grandma Wang regained her composure and changed the subject: "Madam, what mistake did Fang Rui make?"
"She doesn't stick to her duties and wants to get in front of Qilang."
"The eldest lady doesn't know something. This Fang Rui is the niece of Aunt Cui's husband. She came to the mansion last year to work. Originally, Aunt Cui wanted to arrange her to be with Qi Lang, but Qi Lang didn't have enough people around her, and the inner courtyard was too big. The lady still needs people around her, but she doesn’t want to, so Aunt Cui gave her a light job at Chunhui Hall... I didn’t expect that she still wanted to go to Qilang.”
Jiang Wanning pretended to be enlightened: "No wonder she was so confident when I questioned her. Seeing how much trouble this matter has caused, I can't even go to see Grandma Cui."
"The eldest lady has just become the head of the family, and she doesn't know the relationship between it. If you make a mistake, you should be punished. Who can find fault with the eldest lady?"
"Indeed, the Song Dynasty is such a big house, with six or 70 people in it. If there are no regulations, how can we control them? I am responsible for the things but not the people."
It seems that Grandma Wang is holding a grudge and is giving Grandma Cui eye drops!
