The first thousand two hundred and twenty-five chapters
After listening for a long time, Huifang knew that the other party might have guessed her purpose, she pretended to be visiting her and asked deliberately: "Auntie, is Qin Yan really going to become a master?"
"Can she not think about it?" Changqing's wife sneered.△↗
Huifang immediately said happily: "That's right, I'm here today to discuss this matter with my aunt. To be honest, there is a guest who has always liked her. If he is willing to become a teacher, he will definitely make some fun."
Changqing's wife immediately asked, "Who is she? Is she an official?"
Huifang said casually: "I am from Jiangnan and currently serve as a nearby county magistrate. This person is very good, but he is honest and has no money for being an official. Last year, I occasionally listened to Qin Yan's play and admired him very much. I still miss him. I want to accept her as my goddaughter, so I am willing to become a teacher for her. Yesterday, I told us that 3,500 yuan is not affordable, and 3,000 yuan can be used to pay out the 3,000 yuan hang money."
"Oh, oh." Changqing's wife was unhappy and laughed: "I want to start a master after three thousand hangs? You forgot that Qin Yan had a performance last year, and she got nearly eight thousand hangs in a few months. She thought beautifully and became a teacher, and she was his, and she still regarded her as her daughter? Could she ask her to come out and perform, haha! She can get her original name in a few months. Tsk, tsk, tsk! There is such a cheap thing in the world? I've done it too."
"That's not the case with the master's wife." Hu Sheng hurriedly continued Huifang's words: "How can a dignified county magistrate do this? The goddaughter is nothing more than a name, but in fact he is a red sleeve that can provide her with food and clothing. When she gets married, she will only lose money. Where can she make money? Besides, this person is a good person, always pays attention to reputation and means to fulfill Qinyan, so you agree."
"I don't care." Changqing's wife instantly pulled her face down, "What kind of good people are not good people? According to me, they are full of thieves and prostitutes, otherwise what kind of actors will be bought? Anyway, as long as he can afford money, I will teach him to become a teacher according to my number."
Huifang thought for a while and asked, "Auntie, how much do you want? Give me an exact number, so I can talk about it. Maybe I can add it, maybe I can't add it, so let's talk about it."
Changqing's wife also thought about it and said, "Dry it, it's crisp, I'll agree. Can he? If not, I'm still waiting for Mr. Xu. He is rich, and it's okay to have 18,000 yuan. Otherwise, there will be the master of the Xu family, this famous flower-savvy man, who can speak better. Why am I anxious?"
Unexpectedly, Huifang sneered and said, "Auntie, you are wrong. Three thousand and five thousand is nothing, but the third young master of the Xu family has long disliked her. As for Yisuyuan, the second young master and the girl know Qin Yan's background and are inseparable from Xu Run. Therefore, not only will he not help her get married, but he is afraid he will send her out.
Aunt, how can you know what’s inside? We often go to Xu’s house. Now Qin Yan lives in a free room, and the girl doesn’t call her, and the second young master can’t even meet her. He said that we went to pay New Year’s greetings in the New Year, and each of the Xu family gave me a ingot. Why didn’t Qin Yan give me some rewards? One day I saw her in the box, there were only a few taels of silver in total.”
Seeing the woman's surprise look, Huifang continued to add fuel to the fire, "Let's talk about the master of the Xu family. Have you heard that he has helped anyone in the past ten years? Do you dare to tell him again? Joke! Let's just open the skylight and say something. In addition to the Xu family, you want to hang 200 yuan a month, otherwise 3,000 taels of silver will be used as a master. Who dares? My aunt is a wise man. Can't you see Qin Yan have any worries? Once the Xu family knows, it will not be fulfilled? What dares you refuse? Now that I have encountered this opportunity, I would rather help run errands and ask others to add more. Aunt, at least you can take it openly, just be your own daughter. 3,000 yuan a little less, and I can guarantee 2,000 taels of silver."
"I don't know foreign affairs, but I know the Xu family better than you." Changqing's wife was unmoved and sneered, "But I thank you, let's do this, kill someone and ride a horse, we all feel more comfortable. Although I am a woman, I don't like to be slow. I will give you two hundred taels, two thousand eight will definitely not give you two thousand eight."
Seeing that the master's wife was relieved, Hu Sheng was secretly happy and said to Huifang with a smile: "Then let's do it. Go and tell the master that he took care of the orphans and widows, did good deeds, and accumulated good deeds, and asked him to pay 2,400 taels. The middleman didn't want him to thank him for all the money, and they were all put in the silver. Master, don't do this, as far as I know, Mr. Xu Run is interested in begging the master. This matter must be decided quickly and successfully done in one or two days."
No matter how smart Changqing's wife is, she is not as well-informed as Hu Sheng and Huifang, and her IQ is no worse than hers. Without prior discussion, the two know how to adapt to the situation.
After all, no one dared to speak to Xu Hao, and Xu Hao undoubtedly everyone was worried about it.
Changqing's wife thought, if Xu's mansion really sent someone out, the child was stubborn and refused to perform, and she had no choice but to give herself ten thousand courage and dared not set up a plan to force her to submit, how could Sulan's master die? Wasn't it just forcing Sulan to pick up customers and be executed in the middle of the night?
Why don’t you agree? It’s 2,400 taels or 6,000 taels of money, which is not a small amount.
He made up his mind and of course he said he would add money on the spot, but he couldn't resist the slick Hu Sheng. The master's wife was the best, and the master's wife was the best. After all, Changqing's wife would have to ask for him in the future, so he finally agreed.
Huifang said, "You have been borne by one person. I don't know if you can afford it or not. If you can't take it out, your aunt will be accused of it and it will take a long time to waste our time."
Auntie, please spare me! Hu Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart. He is worthy of being the famous and petty Su Huifang. He still won’t stop after a while. That money is not yours.
"Are you still there?" Hu Sheng joked, "It's just that people can't get it together. It's 1,800 yuan short. If Miss Su raises her arms and shouts for him, there are so many people who respond. What's the matter? The master will not let you down."
"I have to do this." Huifang was like a drama like life, and said angrily: "It depends on Qin Yan's fate. Who made us good sisters?"
The two of them had a tacit understanding and went back and forth, which made Changqing's wife stunned. They didn't know that they had no script at all and were completely performing on the spot.
I promised that there will be a reply tomorrow morning. If it is done, I will send money and ask for a document here to write it.
Changqing's wife asked Wu Mazi to see him off. She sat alone in the room and thought in a daze, saying, "The little bitch named Su is so bad, she has been reduced to 2,400 taels by her. If I am a little softer, I will be bullied by her and the little bastard who is traitor. It is too much to bully people. They may make a lot of money from it."
After saying that, he sighed. After all, the man died and his path was broken, and no one could support him. Otherwise, with Qin Yan's appearance and reputation, it would be easy to earn 5,000 taels of silver. It's a pity that fate is so good that he can do nothing!
People only consider themselves. In this matter, whether it is Mr. Sheng and Xu Zhu, Hui Fang and Sulan and Hu Sheng, everyone helps each other with righteousness and fulfills their duties to Changqing's wife. Otherwise, it would be easy to ask her to get nothing.
Of course, the most important thing is Xu Hao. As far as the influence is concerned, everyone under his nose is more or less influenced by him, and he should be careful in his actions.
Xu Mansion.
Xiao suddenly wanted to do a ritual for the old lady. Because the mansion was too lively, he asked Huanggu Temple to set up a water and land fast. This morning, he took his wives and invited Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Mu to chant scriptures and incense together. When she came back, Wang and Liu people also took turns to pray in the temple. There were also wives from each family, and they would have to work for a total of fifteen or sixteen days.
Shi Suoqin and Jin Ju are about to get married, Manager Jin, Master Shi, and Master Qin have all been taking leave. In addition, the recent personnel changes, several old housekeepers have returned home to take care of their elderly care, and several housekeepers are released, and the Xu family is facing a new round of open and secret struggles.
Xu Hao also wanted to go to the countryside. Before leaving, he ordered the three government gates to change a new guard, and it became very strict from the middle gate.
There was no one in the mansion for a while, and most of the left-behind girls were obedient and did not cause any trouble. However, the servants located between the inner house and the middle gate were all dissolute, and they gathered to gamble with stolen food, drink, and no one came out to investigate.
Or Manager Jin came in and took a walk around without any trouble, secretly saw a few servants who took the lead in making trouble, asked someone to bring the roster, and wrote a small batch on it, and then asked someone to send it to Lianyi for a look.
Zhang Lianyi saw it and couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. If the person below caused trouble, he would have no face. He immediately came back quickly, ordered the manager to name the person, and passed on the relevant people in, whipped a few in public, drove out a few, and called Zhang Shou and scolded him.
Because Zhang Shou came from the Zhang family, Lianyi was particularly angry and ordered him to strictly control the servants and add more crimes to the crime if something happened.
Zhang Shou did not dare to neglect and warned the servants to drive them out directly regardless of who they were, and they were not honest and didn't have any clean hands and feet. This time, the Xu family became quiet.
When Ye Qin came back with Xiao in the evening, Lianyi complained about her again, which made Ye Qin's face dull. She was also easy-going, and the servants were not afraid of her over time.
Fortunately, the thing I was most worried about did not happen, but the servant took the opportunity to have a unclear understanding between the maid.
Ye Qin was so angry that she passed the message all night. The next morning, she locked up Mei'an and did not allow anyone to come in again, for fear of gossiping.
After Xu Yu learned about it, he had no choice but to send someone to notify his friends.
Shan Shuo Huifang came to Xu's mansion and learned that she would not let her enter, so she had to stand outside the door and wait until Xu Zhu who was strolling over, and told Qin Yan about Qin Yan.
After hearing this, Xu Zhu was very happy and asked someone to invite Xu Run. Xu Run came and was very pleased. He immediately issued a silver note of 2,400 taels, with an additional twenty taels of silver, which he wanted to reward Hu Sheng and Huifang.
Huifang went to find Hu Sheng without delay and gave him all the twenty taels of silver. The two went to Qiushuitang.
Seeing Changqing's wife, Huifang said, "It took so much effort that he had only collected 1,900 taels. I borrowed 500 taels for him. The silver notes are here, please accept them."
