Gateway to Happiness

Seeing that he finally softened up, the housekeeper realized that his face also had luster. He hummed triumphantly and said, "how much money is a fake painting worth? If it wasn't for the level of the painting, and you were so skinny, I would have sent you to the Yamen for a meal! Since you are so smart, I'm merciful. I'll give you fifty Liang! See clearly, Huitong yuan's silver note can be exchanged in every bank, five ingots and twelve taels of white snow silver! "

With a silver note between his two fingers, Liao dangled in front of Lu Xiaoshu. As soon as his fingers loosened, the silver bill fell on the table.

Without looking at Lu Xiaoshu, he told manager Hao, "old brother, help me roll up this painting. I have to go back! Ah, I'm so busy these days that I don't have any leisure... "

Manager Hao didn't expect that big housekeeper Liao would be so cruel that he actually killed the price. Even he felt a little blushed and embarrassed. Because it can be said that he contributed to this matter, but some of the chatting glanced at Lu Xiaoshu.

Lu Xiaoshu had already made up her mind to get revenge and come back. Naturally, she would not be annoyed by the housekeeper Liao. She just sneered and scolded shamelessly in her heart. She said, "I'll see you" and stood aside without any objection.

Qinglan, not to mention, in her opinion, this fake painting which Lu Xiaoshu spent more than one hour to make, can sell for 50 Liang silver and has made a lot of money. She also fully believed that Lu Xiaoshu's ten thousand taels he had asked for was just a bid. She couldn't take it seriously. There was no gap in her heart and she didn't say anything.

When manager Hao saw that they didn't speak, he immediately rolled up the painting scroll. He sighed in his heart and complimented the housekeeper Liao with a smile: "no, the old lady is about to celebrate her 60th birthday. Ha ha, you are the chief manager of Jiangfu. Naturally, everything can't do without your arrangement! Those who can do more work, those who can do more work! When you look back, you will be rewarded with great rewards! "

"What kind of reward or not? I'm not greedy for good!" Obviously, the housekeeper Liao was quite proud of his compliment. He put on a straight face and said, "it's not only my duty but also my blessing to help the old lady live a long life."

"That is, that is!" Hao Zhangguan was busy and said with a smile, "who are you? How can you care about what you want to reward or not? Look at what I said. Ha ha, you should fight, you should fight!"

Big housekeeper Liao groaned with pride. He took the picture presented by shopkeeper Hao. He snorted to Lu Xiaoshu and said triumphantly, "well, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going! Hehe, manager Hao is very cheerful. No wonder he has done such a big business. Don't forget to leave it to me when you come back. Our master likes these things! "

"Sure, sure!" Shopkeeper Hao quickly laughs with him and respectfully sends him and his party out. Seeing that they are far away, he straightens up and breathes a long sigh of relief.

"It's just a housekeeper. It's just a dog in other people's house. What's the good air?" Sunny LAN can't help but spat a curse.

"Little brother!" Manager Hao was startled and quickly made a silent move and said, "that's not the case. There's a way that Yama likes to see little ghosts. This big housekeeper Liao is the chief manager of the Jiangfu. In Anyang City, who can not sell him! Oh, it's all my negligence. If only I had known that I would have done this business earlier, and you would not have suffered such a great loss

Manager Hao felt a little guilty. He took fifty Liang silver note from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiaoshu. He said, "it depends on me, little brother. You can take this money! It's not much, but it's a little bit of my heart. "

Lu Xiaoshu had some doubts in his mind. This manager Hao and the housekeeper Liao had colluded in acting. Then he believed that if he did, he could kill as much as he could. Anyway, he and Qinglan were helpless and weak youths from other countries. Could the local villains be afraid of their failure? After eating the money in my stomach, there is no reason to give it away in vain.

"What does this have to do with you! It's our own bad luck that we can't blame others! However, with these fifty Liang, we can barely go back. As the saying goes, we can't take your money for nothing. " Lu Xiaoshu sighed slightly, but with helplessness and gratitude on his face, he blocked the silver ticket back.

"That's true. What can I say?" Hao Zhangfang rubbed his hands and sighed.

On the contrary, Lu Xiaoshu comforted him and asked casually, "by the way, just now I heard from you that the Jiang family is very powerful? The old lady of their family wants to live a long life

When he saw the question, manager Hao immediately got a little spirit and nodded: "it's not! The old master of the Jiang family was a Bachelor of the cabinet when he was here, and his family and old officials were all over the world. In our Anyang City, the Jiang family has numerous shops and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land. It is said that the family wealth is more than twice as many as the second richest Guan family! Even the magistrate is also a disciple of the old master! Unfortunately, the eldest master was not in good health, so he did not become an official. The second master was abducted by an abductor when he was a child. He came back only seven or eight years ago. His homework was delayed and he only rested in the government. He didn't want to take the scientific examination. The third master was still young. However, it is said that there are two good children in the grandson's generation. Everyone said that they would certainly inherit his grandfather's mantle in the future. The Jiang family is so wonderful! I don't know how many guests will visit the old lady's birthday in ten days"It sounds like the Jiang family is really amazing!" Hao LAN laughs and says goodbye.

"I'm scared to death!" Go to the secluded place, clear LAN big out of breath, and get angry again: "that what bastard housekeeper, is really bullying too much!"

"Don't you hear me? The Jiang family is so powerful that the dogs they keep can't bite people? " Lu Xiaoshu looked at her and said.

Hearing what she said was interesting, Qinglan couldn't help laughing and saying, "but anyway, I cheated that bastard! It makes me feel better

Lu Xiaoshu has a cool look in his eyes. In his heart, you really think that the painting is fake, so you think we stand cheap and that bastard is suffering from depression? I'm the one who really suffers from depression!

But if you don't know anything, you don't have to divulge my secret.

"Or we - er, if you draw two more and sell them, we can make more money." Clear LAN sees her to seem to have some not to be happy to say.

"Are you kidding me?" Lu Xiaoshu rolled his eyes and said, "are you so worthless when you are painting from biteng mountain? Since his old man's paintings came out, the total number is only about ten. How can two or three paintings appear in Anyang City within a few days? If you ask someone to find out, there's no place to hide! "

What's more, she's afraid of exposure.

Clear haze suddenly a startle, busy nod says: "still you think thoughtful, is I confused! However, I don't think you are very happy... "

"That tortoise son of a bitch! If you bully others and rob your aunt's paintings, can you be happy? " Lu Xiaoshu kicked a kick on the ground and said, "I have to find this place!"

"Don't be impulsive Qinglan quickly urged her to say, "I know you have some boxing script, but you also listen to the manager Hao. The Jiang family is very powerful in Anyang City, and the dog housekeeper is not so easy to deal with. In case you suffer a loss, they frame you and get into the Yamen. I, I have no ability to save you..."

Lu Xiaoshu didn't get angry when she looked at her. Do you want to save me? What's the difference between that and waiting for death! Even if I am stupid, I am not so stupid!

"Come on, let's find the inn first, and then we'll go to the gate of Jiangfu later." Lu Xiaoshu kicked a small stone on the ground.

"You, you want to go to Jiangjia -- sister, you --"

"shut up!" Clear haze has not finished saying to call Lu Xiaoshu to stare at one eye, "just go to have a look, how should I do, I haven't thought well! Well, it won't work if we don't find it back! "

What's more, the thought of her painting falling into the hands of those people made her feel queasy. She would rather destroy the painting than let it fall into the hands of that disgusting fellow.

"If you are afraid, or you will wait in the inn!" Lu Xiaoshu added another sentence.

"No, I'll go with you!" Qing Lan said in a hurry, seeing Lu Xiaoshu looking at her, he said: "one more person, better or worse, more strength."

Lu Xiaoshu, um, didn't say a word. You still have a little conscience.

After settling down, they went to the gate of Jiangfu.

As expected, the Jiang family was rich and powerful, and the house occupied almost a whole street. It was said that all the houses of their servants were in the two or three alleys behind the street. The carved beams and painted buildings built at the gate of the mansion are three stories tall and towering. The two stone lions at the gate are huge things, like two hills.

Probably because ten days later, the old lady is going to hold a birthday party. The ground at the door is empty and cleaned very clean. High colored sheds are set up on both sides, and red lanterns are hung on the tall and luxuriant locust trees. Countless servants are busy in and out of the house

Lu Xiaoshu happened to hear a steward like colleague talking, complaining that there were not enough people in the family, and that he had to hire 40 or 50 people to help them, both men and women.

She had an idea in her mind.

Qing Lan listened to her finish saying, originally some disagrees, felt a little too risky.

However, Lu Xiaoshu felt that this was a rare opportunity for him to enter the Jiangfu Prefecture and withdraw from the government. He was only employed temporarily! Moreover, this birthday party must be very lively, with many people and miscellaneous hands, so it is better to handle affairs

As for the fear of being recognized by that bastard, this is easy to do. Just change back to women's clothes? But it was just a face-to-face, and the man's eyes were on top of his head, and it was impossible for him to look at them carefully.

Qinglan can't resist Lu Xiaoshu, and refuses to wait alone in the inn. She has no choice but to apply for a servant with her.

Originally, Qinglan was still holding a few chances of losing the election, but how could Lu Xiaoshu let this happen? Ten or twenty Wen money will pick the selection of domestic servants bought, and Qinglan two people smoothly into the Jiangfu.
