Yutai Bi

Chapter 75 Extortion
Cen Sanniang didn't say the three days indiscriminately.

She was sure that Li Fang brought someone here that day just to find out about the situation.As Xu Shi said, the Li family can ignore her, but if a small Habayashi school captain's family is to bully her, the Li family is not willing.It's about face, nothing else.

Li Fang's ability to become the manager of a wealthy family has his own merits.After looking at Cen Sanniang for a long time, he confirmed her identity and affirmed her identity, so he bowed his head, thanked her, respected her opinion, and agreed to pick her up three days later.

If she followed back excitedly that day.As soon as the door of Li's house was closed, the face was put in the purse, and outsiders couldn't see it.He hated and disliked her at first, but now he feels that she is shabby, rude and spineless, who knows how he will treat her.

The setting of these three days is actually full of mysteries.

Time can test each other's attitudes.

After Li Fang went back to report.If Mrs. Li paid attention to it, he wanted to let the wealthy social circle in Chang'an know that his granddaughter was back, so it wouldn't be the manager and two servants who would pick her up three days later.At any rate, there will be a few courteous women and girls.Let's make a point again, and send her expensive clothes and jewelry to make her dress up and return home.

Maybe she can earn back the 1000 taels of silver she spent.

The Li family doesn't pay much attention to it. If a woman comes, a green cloth carriage can pick her up.

In that case, the Li family would probably be like the third bedroom of the Cen family, raising her for two years out of face.Maybe, tell the Cen family that she was still alive after falling into the water, and then send her back.

Regardless of the possibility, three days is enough for the Li family to figure out how to treat her.Cen Sanniang also knew it well.

in turn.In the past three days, the Li family will definitely spy on Cen Sanniang's master and servant in secret.If he had never asked about his mother and her situation in the past ten years, three days would not be enough for the Li family to go to Longzhou to inquire about the news.They can only make certain judgments based on their own observations.

It is good to enjoy the cool under the big tree.The manager of the Li family brought people to Yongpingfang.What will happen to the Qiu family?At that time, Cen Sanniang's master and servant were crying and begging, and forced to pay 200 taels of silver.At this time, of course Cen Sanniang wanted to take revenge.

After recovering from sleep, Cen Sanniang called Baicao to give her instructions.A short table was set up in the yard, a charcoal stove was lit, and tea was simmered slowly.

Although she likes to drink loose tea.But why do noble people in Chang'an like the sencha with exquisite techniques and ingredients?After studying with Mrs. Cen for three years, putting on an elegant posture can still bluff people.

When the Qiu family came to the door with gifts, the courtyard door was ajar.Because I know that there are three masters and servants living in the yard, Cen Sanniang, and the woman who came here is a woman in charge.She's the same type as Mrs. Tian next to Mrs. Cen, who laughs before saying anything, and teaches the girls in the house to laugh at Mimi when they beat them to death or maim them.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling face.The task of apologizing to please Cen Sanniang falls on Mama Hua.She brought two girls with gift boxes.

"Third Lady is frying tea, the fragrance of tea can be smelled through the door, what a skill!"

It has to be said that Qiu Fuhua's mother's skills are indeed profound, and her nose is too sharp.She said and went to push the courtyard door.

Cen Sanniang winked, Baicao picked up the bucket, and poured a bucket of water towards the courtyard gate.

There were screams at the door.

Baicao slammed open the door, looking at Mama Hua who was soaking half of her skirt in shock: "Oh, isn't this Mama Hua from Qiu Mansion? There are bloodstains on the ground in the yard, my girl doesn't like it. I'm carrying water to wash the yard Who would have thought that my mother happened to be standing at the door, this..."

She turned her head to look at Cen Sanniang as if she didn't know what to do.

Cen Sanniang was sitting in the yard, and the surrounding area was washed clean by clean water.She was wearing a white silk linen jacket, a long skirt with wide sleeves, a pink belt around her waist, her hair was tied into a long braid, and she had no jewelry at all.With one hand she held the bamboo clip that was about a foot long, and with the other hand she lightly held the sleeves hanging down, as if no one else was around, she was roasting the tea cakes.With that posture and expression, it seems that the place where she is sitting is not a dilapidated courtyard, but a gorgeous pavilion on a high platform.

The fragrance of tea floats, and the skirt flutters gently in the wind.A school of everyone's demeanor.

Mother Hua and the two girls were dumbfounded, forgetting that they were splashed with water.

Baicao turned around and gave a silent blessing: "My girl doesn't like visitors when she makes tea. I have to wash away the blood in the yard, sorry."

She gently closed the courtyard door.

Looking back, I saw Cen Sanniang raising her face and winking at her, she was still a bit dignified and demure.Baicao hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, for fear of laughing out loud.

The courtyard door was gently pushed open again, Baicao looked at it with a puzzled face, Mother Hua quickly lifted her skirt and stepped in, smiling and whispering, "Miss Baicao, they are all servants of our house. Come and make amends."

She peeked over to see Cen Sanniang sipping tea gracefully.

Baicao glanced at Cen Sanniang, and said awkwardly while holding the bucket: "Mom saw it too, it's not that I want to make things difficult for you."

Now that Mother Hua is here, there is no reason to leave, so she called the two maids beside her to bring the gift into the main room, and said in a low voice: "Wash the yard, and be quicker with your hands and feet, so you don't disturb the girl's mood."

Baicao was about to dissuade her, but Mother Hua smiled and took her hand and sat down: "Let them go to work. Miss Baicao, you have offended me a lot before, and you are all slaves working for your master, so don't be angry with your mother again. "

Baicao didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Mother Hua took out something wrapped in red cloth from her bosom and stuffed it into Baicao's hands: "I wronged the girl in the past few days, and my wife specifically told me to give this to the girl to make amends."

Baicao opened it and saw that there was a jade bracelet inside.The round white jade bracelet has a section of light red on it.It is not a particularly expensive jade material, but it is as beautiful as peach blossoms in spring.She suppressed a smile, put the jade bracelet back with a straight face: "Could it be that your Qiu family still wants to use the jade bracelet to frame me again?"

She returned the jade bracelet and walked out of the house.

The two girls worked hard to wash the yard with water, not daring to make any noise, so they could only scoop up water with a gourd ladle to wash.Baicao curled her lips, and her sleeves were gently pulled by Mama Hua.

She turned around angrily.Mother Hua smiled all over her face, not only put the white jade bracelet into her hand, but also put a delicate pouch on it.As soon as her hand sank, Baicao showed a hesitant look.

When Mother Hua saw that there was a door, she quickly pulled her back.

After whispering good words several times, Baicao finally put away the things.Mama Hua let out a long sigh of relief.

At this time, Cen Sanniang had already brewed water to make tea, holding a rough pottery teacup with a relaxed expression on her face.

Mother Hua smiled and tugged at Baicao's sleeve.

Baicao thought to herself, I'm done tossing, but my third lady hasn't had enough.Without refusing, she walked up to Cen Sanniang, leaned over and said a few words softly.

Cen Sanniang nodded.

Baicao beckoned to Mother Hua.

Mother Hua was overjoyed, walked over quickly, and made a blessing: "The maidservant is the internal steward of the Qiu Mansion, surnamed Hua. Two days ago, I asked Miss Baicao to hand in the needlework, but I didn't expect a girl in the mansion to break it. I took my wife's jade bracelet and framed Miss Baicao. That girl has been sold by the owner. Today I sent a servant to accompany the crime. In addition to returning the girl's 200 taels of silver, I also bought a jade bracelet to scare Miss Baicao. I heard that the girl three In the future, I will dress up and go back to visit my grandfather, and prepare some clothes and hairpins to show my heart."

The silver was returned, and a gift was paid for it.The fault was not made by the master of the Qiu family, it was the misunderstanding caused by the girl who framed Baicao.This flower mother is patient and eloquent.

Cen Sanniang sipped the tea lightly, without raising her eyelids.

Today, the Qiu family offended them in front of the neighbors, and Mother Hua was not annoyed with a few words: "Hey, no one thought that such a thing would happen. That girl usually looks honest, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious. Where did such a thing happen in my Qiu family? Madam was so angry that she became ill. I told the servant to get the girl's understanding no matter what. As long as the girl can relieve her anger, she can ask the servant to do whatever she wants!"

Cen Sanniang raised her head and smiled slightly: "Since it was a misunderstanding, the master sent his mother to make an apology. Sanniang will not pursue it."

Mama Hua was overjoyed: "Miss is worthy of being from a famous family, my servant thanked you."

"It's just..." Cen Sanniang lowered her eyes, with a slight sadness on her face, "That day, a dozen or so servants from your mansion injured my bodyguard and made him unconscious. The doctor said the injury was serious, and I'm afraid he will have to recuperate for a while. It’s been a year and a half. It’s not easy for me to take the injured person back to see my grandfather after traveling thousands of miles. I don’t know the place, so staying in a hotel is not an option. I heard that this yard belongs to the Qiu family. I think Chu Yin bought this yard for him to rest in peace. Mother Hua, please tell your master to negotiate a price."

Mother Hua almost spit out a mouthful of blood, thinking that your bodyguards beat up a dozen or so famous generals in my house until they couldn't get up, and those with fractures and internal injuries, how much money would it take to feed them?Who is at a disadvantage?After returning the silver ticket, the gift of more than 100 taels of silver was not enough, and I still want a yard?
In such a daze, Cen Sanniang turned her face: "Baicao, see off the guests!"

He got up and entered the inner hall without even saying a word.

Baicao was full of helplessness, and sang red in a low voice: "Mom, the guard who escorted my girl thousands of miles away was originally going to work under the account of my girl's uncle, and has a bright future. Miss Sun of the Li family is still missing such a dilapidated courtyard." ? My girl just wants to be smooth."

Mother Hua wakes up, her uncle is the governor of Youzhou!Can a servant in the mansion compare with a guard with a great future and excellent martial arts skills?Thinking about it, Ms. Sun was very optimistic about the future of this guard, besides, a yard like Yong'an Square was really not worth much.She smiled all over her face: "Yes, yes, I will go back to the mansion and report to the Patriarch."
