The Good Wife of Transmigration

Chapter 172 Grandma’s Visit

Mother Du was puzzled and said: "Miss, Grandma is a person who goes to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. She came to see you with a gift so suddenly, I'm afraid she has some conspiracy."

Jiwei said: "Well, it's very possible, let Shuyue go and find out!"

Shuyue went to inquire, but did not find any useful information.On the other hand, when Mother Du went to withdraw the monthly payment for February, she wasted a lot of time and only received half of the usual monthly payment back.

This is the first time in Bofu for so many years.The servants talked a lot, and people's hearts fluttered.A few women relied on their wives to rely heavily on their daily lives, so they went to question the reason why the grandma withheld the monthly payment, but the grandma lashed out, saying that they were not loyal enough to the uncle's house and only cared about themselves. The slap was released.

In this way, although the servants were angry in their hearts, they did not dare to question it so bluntly.

Jiwei knew that Grandma was doing this, so she must have known about it too, so it was useless for the servants to question her.So she only told the people in Luoxia Courtyard to keep their mouths shut and not to go out and cause trouble.If anyone doesn't want to stay in the uncle's house, please tell them as soon as possible, and she can also pay some severance pay.

These people in Luoxia Courtyard followed Jiwei on weekdays, and they ate a lot of pastries as rewards, and they also knew that Jiwei was generous and would not treat them badly, so they didn't say much.

Grandma soon came to Luoxia Courtyard several times, but Jiwei stopped them all because she was unwell.Now that she is pregnant, she has a talisman. She said that she can't see any guests, and even the eldest grandma can't do anything to her.

In fact, since Jiwei got the milk from her nanny, she has fewer nightmares and her spirit has recovered a lot.This day, she was teaching Beibei to read, when Danyun came in to report: "Grandma, the third girl is here."

Jiwei put down the book in her hand and said, "The third girl is here? I heard that she had a cold a while ago, and I didn't dare to go to see her when I was pregnant. She is coming to see me now, probably because of the cold. Please come in." Bar!"

Qin Zhirong came in quickly, and when she saw Jiwei, her eyes were red and her face was haggard, she greeted Jiwei wearily.

Jiwei asked a little strangely: "Sister, what's wrong with you? Is the wind and cold still not healed?"

Qin Zhirong shook her head hastily: "No, the wind and cold are already gone, don't worry, Fourth Sister-in-law!"

Ji Wei wondered: "Then why are you so haggard? Who bullied you?"

Qin Zhirong heard this, and suddenly burst into tears, choked up and said: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I really couldn't bear it, so I came to you. I heard that General Chen disappeared on the battlefield, and it has been many days. No one was found, and now his life and death are unknown. I really don’t know if the news is true, so I have to come to Sisao and see if Sisao can help me find out.”

Ji Wei was surprised, she had never heard of this.Jiwei winked at Danyun, motioned her to sit down with Qin Zhirong on her back, and said, "Sister, don't worry, where did you hear about this? Why didn't I hear anything about it?"

Qin Zhirong wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and said calmly: "My girl heard about this matter from Cui Hu, who was shopping in our house. Cui Hu's cousin married a manager in Chen's house. When I went back to my mother's house, I told them that now the Chen family already knew the news, General Chen was going to invite Ying to lead the troops, and Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she fell ill in bed now. It's just that I knew about it There are not many people, and the General’s Mansion ordered that no rumors be allowed. When I heard this, I was terrified, but I also had some doubts, so I asked someone to inquire about the current situation of the Chen Mansion. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Chen was really ill. I... ...I'm really scared, General Chen...If something really happens to General Chen, how can I live!"

Ji Wei hurriedly comforted her: "Third Sister, don't be in a hurry, don't scare yourself. This is a big deal, and you must not be allowed to hear it. I will send someone to Li County Prince's Mansion to find out for you. If there is such a thing, the son and The Imperial Concubine must know about it. I'll call you back when I find out more clearly, okay?"

Qin Zhirong nodded when she heard the words, feeling much relieved.She originally came to Jiwei out of grief and indignation, but she was appeased by Jiwei, and finally knew how to be shy, and said blushingly: "Sister... my sister was impatient for a while, and the fourth sister-in-law laughed at her. Fourth sister-in-law Now that I have a body, my sister still makes my sister-in-law worry about it, it's really... really..."

Seeing that she was really embarrassed, Jiwei waved her hand and said, "Sanmei doesn't have to be like this, we are a family, why bother to be so polite. The fourth master is also on the battlefield now, so I understand your feelings very well. You can go back first, don't think about it .In my opinion, General Chen is both wise and brave, and he has been battle-tested, so he will definitely not die easily. I will ask someone to ask about this matter carefully, and then I will come back to you."

Qin Zhirong stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "If that's the case, I will trouble the fourth sister-in-law."

Ji Wei nodded, and waved for Dan Yun to send her out.

Before Qin Zhirong walked out of the main room, she heard noises coming from outside.She went up to see that the eldest grandma was standing outside the door with the maids, wanting to enter the room.

Seeing Qin Zhirong, the eldest grandma sneered and said, "Oh, I said who is in there, it turned out to be the third lady. I think that only the third lady in our uncle's residence has such a big face, and can make the fourth sibling sick. I want to see you too. Hey, what is my sister-in-law? I have come so many times, but I can only be rejected. Sure enough, only this Gaoming wife and the future Gaoming wife are a family. I think I should report to my wife and put Let the power of the head of the family go to the third sister."

Grandma's words were so sharp that Qin Zhirong panicked all of a sudden.She didn't know what happened, she just stood there blankly and said, "Sister-in-law, what did sister-in-law say? I... What's wrong with me?"

"How do you say it?" The grandma snorted coldly: "I have been here four times with my fourth sibling, and they all told me that my fourth sibling is not feeling well and can't see people. But when the third sister comes, the fourth sibling will be able to sleep immediately." We're meeting guests. Doesn't this mean that in our uncle's mansion, only the third sister can get into the eyes of the fourth sibling?"

Jiwei also heard the yelling of the eldest grandma inside, so she had to go out to welcome her, and said, "Sister-in-law is here, don't wrong the third sister. It's just a coincidence, I feel a little better today, and the third sister will come Look at me. I thought it would be shameless to be alone, and I should talk to people, so I let the third sister in. I didn’t expect my sister-in-law to misunderstand me. I’m really sorry. My sister-in-law has been here many times these days. I know it too. It's just that I was so heavy a few days ago that I couldn't see people. Now that I'm much better, I don't shy away from those things. Come on, sister-in-law, please. Third sister, you go back first!"

Qin Zhirong looked at Jiwei worriedly, saw Jiwei nodding at her, and then said: "The fourth sister-in-law takes care of her health, so I will go back first. Sister-in-law, sister is leaving, and sister-in-law will visit sister-in-law another day."

The eldest grandma snorted coldly, and said eccentrically as she walked into the house: "Third sister is too polite."

Ji Wei led the eldest grandma into the seat, asked Dan Yun to serve tea, and then said: "I don't know what is the important thing for my sister-in-law to come to me? I have been tired these days, and I really didn't pay attention to us. What happened to the Bofu?"

The grandma's face froze, but she quickly said: "It's not a big deal. This matter is also beneficial to you. I heard that the refugees rioted a while ago, and your three shops were also affected, but Now I’m resting and want to reopen, right? I know, you’re not in good health, and you can’t worry too much about it. However, those shopkeepers are all outsiders, so I don’t know if it’s credible. Let me recommend one for you. People, the original shopkeeper of Xinhong Pawnshop - shopkeeper Lu. Shopkeeper Lu is quick and loyal, much better than ordinary people. He is still an old man in our house. He used to work with uncle. I see you If Yuman Pavilion uses him, I guarantee that you will be able to open it smoothly within ten days. You will also take this opportunity to take a good rest, as long as you wait in the mansion to get the money."

Jiwei really didn't expect that the grandma would be so cheeky to stuff people into her shop.She has also heard a little about the situation of the shops in the public house in the hands of the eldest grandma.Originally, the grandma was in charge of five shops, but because of the uncle's affairs, the grandma sold three smaller shops and left two of the most valuable shops—a pawnshop and a restaurant.But the only two remaining shops also suffered in this riot.

A cloth shop next to the pawnshop caught fire, and the fire spread to the pawnshop, burning many valuables in the pawnshop.The restaurant was robbed of food by the refugees, and countless decorations were smashed.

The pawn shop can't keep going, but there are still countless people who have pawned the job and got the news and come to the door to get back their pawned property.Most of those properties were destroyed in the fire, and the pawn shop only lost money.Some people thought they were valuables and took the opportunity to blackmail them. In the end, it was the uncle who came forward to settle the matter.In this way, there will be even less silver in the uncle's house.
