The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 141 Desperate, Aunt Steals

Hua Yang's face collapsed, and he said in a low voice: "So what if you are, so what if you are not? I warn you that the 3000 taels of silver must be paid back within ten days. I have an IOU in hand. If you don't pay it back, Then let's see you in court, and I'll let you go to jail!"

He leaned closer to Aunt Xiao's ear: "I heard that you have a beautiful daughter. If you don't want to pay back the money, you can give your daughter to the old men for two days. We can write off the money. What do you think?" ?”

"Ah!" Aunt Xiao screamed, and angrily beat Huayang hard: "You're dreaming! You don't want to touch a single hair of my Jingyu!"

"Remember, I'll give you ten days. If you don't show up after ten days, you'll either meet in court or send your daughter here." Huayang laughed, and walked away with Wu Yunyi's shoulders and backs: "This official My brother and I have never tasted the taste of Miss Jia Qianjin, so I think it must be good!"

Aunt Xiao's hands and feet were weak, her body and mind were broken, and she collapsed on the carriage exhausted.

She looked up at the deep house in despair, with endless panic and helplessness in her heart, and she didn't know how she drifted back to the plum garden.

When Shen Jingyu saw her appearance, she immediately knew that the matter was not going to work, so she sat on the chair with tears in her eyes, trying not to cry out.Aunt Xiao saw her pretty face with pear blossoms and rain. How could she be willing to give such a beautiful daughter to those two liars?
The two felt sad, and Aunt Xiao called out sadly: "Jingyu." She stretched out her arms and hugged her together, feeling painful.

The two cried for a while, and the girl knocked on the door, saying that Manager Xu from the Mu family's house had brought the big housekeeper, and wanted to update the furnishings in each house and courtyard, and came to decorate their rooms.

Aunt Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and then she glanced at the cabinet behind her, and saw more than a dozen treasures and antiques placed on the cabinet nearly ten feet high.As soon as she rolled her eyes, the Mu family had a big business, and she wouldn't notice if one or two things were missing.All these things are priceless, if you secretly take some and sell them off, wouldn't it be able to relieve the urgent need?
Seeing her gaze on the cabinet, Shen Jingyu also knew what she was thinking, and grabbed her sleeve: "Mother, the girl once said that all the items in these cabinets are registered..."

"Stupid!" Aunt Xiao nodded her forehead: "You can't take the ones in the cupboard. What about the ones on the table? What about the ones in the room?"

Shen Jingyu's eyes lit up, mother was right, those things are not recorded!

Aunt Xiao gave Shen Jingyu a wink and asked her to go out to deal with Guanshi Xu first, and went around the room by herself to collect the inconspicuous and unrecorded ornaments in the corners. In the alley.

Shen Jingyu went out, saw Guanshi Xu, blessed her body first, and smiled apologetically: "Boss and the butler have been waiting for a long time, my mother is not feeling well and is resting. Please take a rest in the flower hall, I Go get your mother to get up now." She turned her head and saw that the girl who led the two of them in was Pei Rong, Pei Rong was originally from the Mu family, and she had never liked it in her heart, but right now there were no other girls following her, so she had to He ordered: "Pei Rong, go and pour tea for Manager Xu and Steward Zhang, and bring the pastries."

Manager Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Miss Shen is polite, since Mrs. Shen is still awake, why don't I go to Aunt Shen's place first and come back later?"

"Alright, please trouble the housekeeper to make another trip." Shen Jingyu raised her eyes flattered, as if she was very grateful.

Butler Zhang liked her for being sensible and peaceful, so he turned and went to Aunt Shen's yard without saying much.

Shen Jingyu didn't notice, but as soon as Steward Xu came out to admire the plum garden, he immediately parted ways with Steward Zhang and went to Tingfengzhu.

When Shen Jingyu returned to the room, she saw Aunt Xiao holding a thousand-armed Avalokitesvara and watching triumphantly, she quickly closed the door and ran to Aunt Xiao's side: "Is everything packed?"

Aunt Xiao's brows and eyes were full of trepidation: "Don't worry, they are all searched in the corner, and they can't be found in safekeeping."

The hearts of the two settled down, and they were not as panicked as before.Aunt Xiao tidied up and went straight to the second-hand market to resell the small pendants, leaving Shen Jingyu alone, waiting for Manager Xu and Manager Zhang alone in the Plum Appreciation Garden.

Manager Xu went to listen to Fengzhu, and told Mu Yunge everything that happened in the plum appreciating courtyard, and praised him sincerely: "Miss is really good at predicting things, this old slave took Steward Zhang to appreciating plums In the courtyard, I heard the two crying at the door, and Miss Shen came out after a while, saying that Mrs. Shen had fallen asleep and would not let us in. According to what the lady said, the old slave asked Steward Zhang to go to Aunt Shen first. , reckon it’s time to go to appreciate the Meiting in a while.”

"Have you recorded everything in the Plum Appreciation Garden in the notebook?" Mu Yunge was practicing the piano, and he pressed down on the strings.

Manager Xu thought for a while, then said: "The things in the cupboard have been registered in the warehouse, and the other less expensive and fragile ones have not been registered."

"Those are not worth much, just take them when you get them." Mu Yunge sneered, "You went to the Plum Garden, remember to spread the word, how valuable these new decorations are!"

She didn't believe it anymore, Aunt Xiao, who was in a hurry to jump over the wall, would not be tempted and would not go to a dead end!

Manager Xu agreed, and saw that she had no other orders, so he bowed and retreated to join Manager Zhang.

Butler Zhang just came out from Aunt Shen, and was leading the girl to the Plum Garden, when Steward Xu arrived at the right time, they both went to the Plum Garden.

Shen Jingyu welcomed the two of them in, and her own servants began to move things, and Shen Jingyu accompanied Xu Guanshi and Zhang Zhang to sit in the hall.

Manager Xu took a look at the room and saw that the things that the girl servants removed were all recorded, first in the cupboard, and then some miscellaneous decorations. The same will make you tired, anyway, there is no shortage of these in the warehouse, if you change to fresh ones, Mrs. Shen and Ms. Shen will also live comfortably!"

"It's my aunt who is thoughtful." Shen Jingyu smiled gratefully: "Jingyu and her mother's family are gone, and now she lives in Mu's house. Auntie has thought of everything for Jingyu's mother and daughter. This kindness is beyond Jingyu's heart." Thought to repay..."

Manager Xu quickly comforted him: "It's not good for the old slave, and it makes the young lady sad..." As he spoke, his eyes kept sizing up and down among the girls and servants.

Because of Shen Jingyu's sudden crying, the girl who was moving things couldn't help being curious, and she glanced a few more times.

When Guanshi saw it, he was furious and shouted: "If there are any interesting things, be careful! Mint, hold what you have in your hand. It is a bronze chain statue from the Qin Dynasty. There are only three pieces in the world. One One piece costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and if it is broken, you can’t afford to pay even a thousand pieces!”

Another servant was so frightened that his hand shook, a white porcelain bottle almost fell to the ground, Manager Xu hurried over and narrowly caught the bottle.

"Oh, I just said it carefully, and you made a mistake again! This is white porcelain, an antique from the Han Dynasty!" Manager Xu carefully held the bottle and put it on the cabinet, and then said: "These girls are careless, Shen Miss, don’t be offended. It’s not that this old servant is talking too much, but these items are very precious, and if they are put in ordinary people’s homes, one piece will last a lifetime!”

Shen Jingyu's eyes followed those items, and she watched carefully the girls' every move, secretly worrying about which items were registered and which ones did not need to be registered.

Manager Xu accepted it as soon as he saw it was done, and he didn't say much, and when the girls were done with it, he charged him with a crime and took the people away.

Not long after, Aunt Xiao came back from the outside with a smile all over her face, and threw the banknotes in her arms to Shen Jingyu to see: "With these coins, we will not have to worry about our livelihood these days."

Shen Jingyu made a rough count, and there were nearly 2 taels, and her eyes widened immediately: "Those little things sold so much?"

"Isn't it?" Aunt Xiao secretly applauded her idea, her face became darker, she drank a cup of tea, and boasted to Shen Jingyu: "Mother went to several shops and broke her leg, so she sold a Good price."

"However, here is only 2 taels, and there is still a shortfall of 3000 taels of silver. Where shall we go to raise money?" Shen Jingyu was full of worries when she thought of this debt, and her resentment towards Aunt Xiao diluted the joy of having money.

Aunt Xiao said "Hey" and said nonchalantly, "We have just sold a little, and we have 2 taels. There are a few bigger ones in the box in the corner over there. Isn't that more valuable? Wait until it's sold." These, do we still have to worry about money?"

She rested for a while, seeing that it was getting late, and there were not many girls and servants coming in and out, so she went out again with a celadon square pot in her arms.

Shen Jingyu was full of anticipation, and when Aunt Xiao came back, she hurriedly greeted her: "How is it? How much did you sell?"

Aunt Xiao's complexion was not good, and she remembered that when she brought those small things to the door during the day, the shopkeeper of that shop smiled very hospitablely, nodding and bowing like a dog, but at night when she brought the big ones, he just glanced at them. Said: "This celadon is not worth much, 300 taels of silver, if you want to sell it, sell it, if you don't sell it, leave!" But Aunt Xiao was so angry that she heard Shen Jingyu's question, and her anger went straight to Shen Jingyu: "How much did you sell for? It's only 300 taels of silver for such a piece of crap!"

The only blame is that Aunt Xiao is ignorant of goods, thinking that the bigger the more valuable, but they don't know that several of those small pendants in the daytime are passed from the Western Regions.One of the wind chimes was made of ivory. It cost 1 taels of silver in the white market, but she sold it to the shopkeeper for 3000 taels of silver. Could the shopkeeper not curry favor with her?

"Are the others still for sale?" Shen Jingyu's heart trembled when she heard this.

Aunt Xiao snorted: "Why don't you sell it? No matter how small a sparrow is, it's still meat. If you can make up a little bit, it's a little bit!"

Taking advantage of the cover of the night, Aunt Xiao moved a few more things and traded them on the black market. After doing this several times, she got another 5000 taels of silver in her pocket, so she gave up.

The two of them thought they were ignorant, and they didn't expect that these actions would fall into Mu Yunge's eyes. She smiled slightly, and said that the fishing was about to catch big ones. Get it back with interest.

The next day was the fifth day of the lunar new year, Mu Yunge once again asked the academy for leave, sent Mu Jinran to Luyuan Academy, and returned home by himself.She invited Jing Chuntang, shopkeepers of the branches of Mu's shop, to drink tea, and after making sufficient preparations, she took Peixin, Peiying, Guanshi Xu and some servants to the appointment.
