Chapter 82: Better to lack than to abuse

The next morning.

As soon as Qin Li rushed to Huji Pharmacy, she found an opportunity to ask Hu Yao, "You went out last night, did you find someone who was willing to testify for me?"

Hu Yao shook his head slightly and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Sister Li'er, I originally thought it would be easy to do such a favor. But I didn't expect that none of the people around Mr. Zhai were easy to talk to, and they didn't help you get things done.

After hearing this, Qin Li felt a little regretful. But she knew in her heart that Yaoer's younger brother had tried his best. Even if he couldn't hire a witness, he would still thank Yaoer's younger brother.

After finishing work that day, as soon as Qin Li sat in the carriage, she discussed with Guo and invited Mr. Hu and his brother, Yaoer, to their house for dinner.

Guo readily agreed and went to Hu's mansion in person, asking the two masters and apprentices of Hu to go to their house for meals.

After hearing this, Doctor Hu asked the mansion to arrange a carriage to take him and Hu Yao to the Qin Mansion to gather.

After Qin Li returned home, she had a meal with her mother in the private room and did not go to the warm room to have a meal.

There was a brazier placed in the private room. Ziqin added some charcoal to the brazier, poured a cup of hot tea for Qin Li and Guo, and then left the private room.

Qin Li sat at the dining table and ate fish hotpot with Guo.

The fish was sent by Uncle Shi last night, and it was specially given to them to make soup.

Guo served a bowl of fish soup for Qin Li and said, "Drink more. This fish soup tastes good. When your grandparents were alive, they loved to drink this fish soup, which was delicious. Every time they waited for the merchant ship to dock, they would have someone to buy fish and go home to cook soup."

"The third young master also said that the silver carp in our Jiayu Mansion is delicious." Qin Li was very grateful when she thought that after Zhao Sheng came to Jiayu Mansion, she had someone to send them fish.

I don’t know if Uncle Shi returns to the imperial city and he will mention some of Prince An’s affairs to the emperor? Will the emperor allow Zhao Sheng to leave the palace? Come to Jiayu Mansion to build a bridge again?

If she can, when Zhao Sheng comes to Jiayu Mansion next year, she will buy more silver carp? Cook for Zhao Sheng to eat.

Guo only heard Qin Li mention the third young master, and quickly guessed what she was thinking. He said: "The third young master likes to eat silver carp from Jiayu Land. Will he come here next year? We can treat him to eat."

Qin Li smiled with her eyes bent and said, "Okay."

Before this, Guo once told her that the third young master might be about to get married. Even if he comes to Jiayu Mansion in the future, he will probably not be the same as before. Follow his master to visit their house.

Because a prince who married a princess? You have to avoid suspicion.

After hearing that sentence, she felt very uncomfortable. In this time and space, no matter where she goes, she must understand the rules.

Too many rules, it also makes people annoying.

Guo also served Qin Li a bowl of fish soup? When Qin Li drank the soup, he picked up a chicken leg for her. He asked her to eat more. He said that during these days, she went to the pharmacy to do work every day. She was also very tired.

Qin Li was very obedient and drank the fish soup? She also ate the chicken legs? She also ate the bowl of rice.

After meal.

Qin Li felt a little supportive? She stood up and wanted to go for a walk in the backyard.

When Guo saw Qin Li walking towards the wooden door, he advised: "Li'er, although it hasn't snowed today, it's still very cold. Just walk around the house, don't go out."

After hearing this, Qin Li couldn't insist on going out for a walk, so she could only stand on the side of the coffee table, serve a cup of tea, and chat with Guo.

The mother and daughter chatted, and as they chatted, they talked about the annoying Mo Zhu.

"Your father was invited to the government office by several yamen operators this afternoon, saying that they had found Mo Zhu and asked your father to bring her back to the house."

Qin Li looked surprised. Before that, she asked Yaoer's younger brother to help her find a witness to prove that Mo Zhu was taken away by Fu Yu. However, Yaoer's younger brother did not get things done after he went to the Qinfang Huaboat boat.

In this way, she had to give up.

But unexpectedly, the people in the government office were doing things very quickly. Within three days, they found Mo Zhu for her. They just found it. She didn't want Mo Zhu to return to Qin Mansion.

"Mom, didn't I tell you and dad? Mo Zhu must have left with Fu Yu. She is so willing to be with Fu Yu, so what can we take her back to do?"

Could it be that I would come back to take Mo Zhu back and let Mo Zhu continue to harm them?

So, she told her parents at that time, "Since Fu Yu likes to find women like Mo Yu and Mo Zhu, and Mo Zhu is willing to listen to Fu Yu and pay it to Fu Yu. Then, we must fulfill Mo Zhu and Fu Yu and let them "lover" finally get married."

Guo saw that Qin Li was a little unhappy, so he knew Qin Li’s thoughts. He smiled awkwardly and said:

"Li'er, are you worried that your father will steal your jewelry if he really takes Mo Zhu back?"

"That's right." Qin Li admitted frankly.

Guo laughed softly, "Haha." Then he glanced at Qin Li and said:

"You kid, how can you tell Momoto to say you? Your father doesn't know what kind of person Mo Zhu is. We treat her well, but she still secretly does something that hurts us like Mo Yu. In this way, how could your father agree to those people and come back to pick Mo Zhu?"

When Qin Li heard this, she finally felt relieved.

As long as Mo Zhu doesn't return to Qin's mansion, that's great. Mo Zhu is not a maid in Qin's mansion, not only can they feel at ease, but for her, she can also save some silver.

Wouldn't Mo Zhu have to provide Mo Zhu with work, dressing, eating, accommodation, etc. at their house?

There were not many people in the family, and they could not have so many maids to do their jobs. In her opinion, only the wet nurse Liu, Ziqin, who had been with her mother for many years, as well as her personal maid Qinghe and others, should be almost the same.

Of course, the cook who came to cook for them had to keep it. Although she could cook herself, she had to go to the pharmacy during the day and had no time to cook.

The servant driving the car must be kept, otherwise the horse will not be fed or the carriage will not be driven, so it will be very convenient to go out.

The shopkeeper must also keep...

Just as Qin Li was thinking, he heard Guo's words:

"Li'er, there are no two harming people at home, Mo Yu and Mo Zhu, and we can really live a comfortable life. But there are two maids at home. If outsiders come to visit our home, it is inevitable that we will... "

Qin Li quickly understood Guo's idea, and wanted to tell her that she had to buy a few more maids. Even if they didn't need to do much work, they couldn't let others say that their family was too shabby after coming to their house.

She didn't want to spend this in vain money, and advised Guo:

"Mom, if you want to buy a maid, you can't buy a safe place. Look, you bought the Mo Yu and Mo Zhu, right?"

Guo nodded.

Qin Li knew that Guo still remembered some things, so she seized the opportunity to express her opinion:

"What else can they do besides hurting us in the past few years? So, what can they do if they bought it outside? The Ziqin and Qinghe, who have been growing up in our family since childhood, feel relieved. In this way, there is no need to bring back a few maids."

Guo felt in trouble in his heart.

Actually, Li'er is right. The maid she bought outside was not the one they knew, so of course they couldn't feel relieved.

But Ziqin and Qinghe are not young anymore, and they are at the age of getting married. As the chief mistress of the Qin Mansion, they can't keep Ziqin and Qinghe at home, which will delay their lifelong affairs.
