Fair Lady

The three brothers and sisters of Shujie discussed with Liu's mother and Hongmei who would go to the capital this time.

Hongmei's lips moved, as if hesitating, and then closed them again soon...

Shuyao smiled and said, "What's wrong with Aunt Mei? You are our Aunt Mei, a family, so just say what you think."

Shu Jie also said: "Exactly, is there something wrong with my arrangement just now?"

Hongmei shook her head, thought for a while, and finally said with determination: "Aunt Mei wants to stay in Yulin to take care of the house, and she also looks at the tofu shop, several Zhuangzi, and those leased shops and yards, but Aunt Mei is reluctant to leave you so far."

In Aunt Mei's view, Yulin is the root of the three brothers and sisters of Shujie, and the imperial gift house and Yulin's property are their confidence.Apart from Mrs. Ajuan, Mrs. Sun, who is in charge of the tofu workshop and two tofu shops, and Zhang Quan, the head of the Zhuangzi who bought it the first time, there are not many reliable and capable managers.

Aunt Mei thought about staying in Yulin for another year or a half, and when the staff here was all set up, she would choose a big manager in charge of all the accounts, and Shujie and the others were settled in the capital, so she would go to Beijing again go.

Mother Liu nodded: "Alright, the tofu workshop and the tofu shop must first select a general account room to cooperate with Mrs. Ajuan and Sun's daughter-in-law to manage the business. The other two Zhuangzi's Zhuangtou are still in the investigation stage, too. It’s not good to let go.” Ajuan’s sister-in-law and Sun Da’s daughter-in-law are illiterate, and they used to pay directly to Aunt Mei every day, and Aunt Mei made a simple income and expenditure registration.Since the addition of a store and the relocation of the workshop to expand, Shujie was afraid that Aunt Mei would be too hard.They proposed to add an accountant, and Mama Liu and Aunt Mei both preferred to buy one with a death contract, and they had already handed it over to the matchmaker, but they hadn't found a suitable person yet.

Shujie pondered for a while: "Aunt Mei, just do what you want, don't worry about us. The red brocade is what you're used to, so it's better to follow you as a helper, help with chores, run errands, whatever. Uncle Bao is the concierge , coachman, and gardener, Aunt Bao and their two daughters are in charge of the kitchen and yard."

Uncle Bao's son. The 12-year-old Chang Ming (whose name has been changed to Yong Jin) is now Shujie's servant, and he will follow him to Beijing.This was what Liu's mother meant, and Uncle Bao's family was also very happy. It would be good for the only son to follow the young master. A son is no better than two daughters, and the most important thing is to have a future.Don't have to stay around.

As for the other servants in the mansion, Shujie decided to bring them all to the capital. Although he couldn't guarantee whether he would stay in the capital after this trip, he would stay in the capital for at least half a year, so it would be easier to use familiar servants.There are also nursing homes. The current eight nursing homes were carefully selected by Wang Xi two years ago.Temperament is also good.

After all the matters related to entering Beijing were settled, Xiao Xiutao, who was quietly embroidering, looked at Aunt Mei with an aggrieved expression: "Mother, me?"

Shujie smiled: "Does Tao'er want to go to the capital with us, or stay in Yulin with Aunt Mei first?"

"The girl is still teaching me how to read, and I still have to learn embroidery from Liu Mama, so I can't delay," the little lady Xiutao replied "seriously", and then she pursed her mouth, "But I went to the capital. I Will I not see my mother for a long time? But, but. I haven't been to the capital yet."

Everyone was amused by her rapid face changes back and forth. Before she had time to praise her for being sensible and hardworking, she couldn't wait to reveal all her little thoughts by herself.

Aunt Mei nodded her forehead, and said with a smile: "Of course you are going to Beijing with the young master and young lady. Mother is very busy, so I don't have time to greet you, a little troublemaker." The three of Shujie treated Xiutao like their own family. Sister, Aunt Mei has nothing to worry about.

……

"By the way, young master," Aunt Mei suddenly remembered something, "A few days ago, I saw Chuncao at the intersection of the street leading to the official road. She was with a large group of people who were about to be sold. That human tooth It seems that they are going to sell them to some kind of "Liyun Pavilion" in the capital. It is very strange, she kept her head down to hide from me at first, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly pulled me, as if she wanted to say something to me, but She moved her lips and closed them again, stopped for a while, and then the human-toothed carriage left. Master, Chuncao is wearing mourning on her head, and I seem to have heard someone in the group with her say She's dumb."

Spring grass?Shu Yao was taken aback.Chuncao is Cuizhu's younger sister. She used to be a maid in Zhen Keling's courtyard. She visited her sister several times in the small courtyard on Xitang Street, especially after Xia Linxuan's death.That's right, the day before Mother closed her eyes, Chuncao had come, just when Cuizhu went to fetch medicine from Mr. Wu, and Chuncao was called to the bed by Yen Zirou and talked for a long time.Shuyao always felt that Chuncao had a strange smell on her body (mother said it was called body odor), and she never liked her, so she hid in her room.

Shuyao suddenly thought of something, and her whole body trembled.She never figured out why her mother, who had always trusted Cuizhu, suddenly told her that "Cuizhu is not trustworthy". Could it be that her mother knew about Cuizhu's "addition" to her medicine?How did you know?Could it be that Chuncao slipped her tongue when she spoke, showing something wrong?

Thinking about it again, after Chuncao left, Niang seemed to be in a coma again.

The next day...the next day...it's been too long, Shuyao really can't remember...

By the way, after my mother died, my eldest brother regretted for a long time that day after listening to Cui Zhu's words, he went to find Langzhong Wu. That day, my mother kept holding his hand as if wanting to say something to him. No, I want my three children to be by my side.The eldest brother regretted it for a long time.

Shuyao's train of thought seems to be slowly strung together...Suddenly, Shuyao was shocked, thinking, Mother must have wanted to say something to her eldest brother when she pulled her at that time?At that time, she already suspected what Cuizhu had done.

But it is inconvenient for the green bamboo to be nearby, and the spirit of the mother is already weak...

"Yao'er, Yao'er, what's wrong with you?" Shujie patted Shuyao lightly, thinking that his younger sister must have recalled the fact that Cuizhu colluded with Zhen's house to sell her, which frightened her.

The brothers and sisters later learned from Mother Liu that the Murong Mansion wanted to "accept the eldest daughter" to marry a fool instead of his daughter.Shujie himself was in a cold sweat from fear, let alone his younger sister.

Shujie said softly: "Don't be afraid, Yao'er, don't think about those things anymore, with the elder brother here, no one will bully Yao'er again."

Shu Yao came back to her senses, and smiled at Shu Jie: "No, I was just wondering why the spring grass was sold? And what happened to the green bamboo? I don't know if the matter between her and the Zhen family has been clarified. "

Shuwen snorted coldly: "They are not good things, they deserve to die! They are what Uncle Jin said, dog eat dog."

Shuyao smiled slightly, her face remained calm, but she was thinking in her heart: It's better for a dog to bite a dog, the harder the bite, the better.In the previous life, I heard that Chuncao seemed to be a very ruthless and shrewd person, but in this life, I don't know what will happen if he is sold into a building?When she arrived in Beijing, she would take another look, and if she had the chance, she might be able to help that spring grass.
