MTL - The Female General’s Wife Chasing Road-Chapter 33
Mammy Lin did not change her expression and replied, "The business has not been able to do well in the past few years. Every shop has a corresponding account book.
She didn't expect to find out, it was clearly a fake account made by the big house based on the 10,000 taels of silver.
"Thank you for taking care of Auntie for the past three years. Liu Xi will keep it in my heart and pay it back little by little."
Liu Xi smiled meaningfully.
Mother Lin lowered her head, she said, "If the fourth girl is the one, the old slave will bring it to Madam."
Gu Changjun snorted softly and waved at Lin Momo, "It's none of your business, let's go."
"The old slave retire."
Seeing that Liu Xi did not make a statement, she left with interest.
After Mama Lin left, the nanny couldn't help but said: "These four stores are the best stores managed by Madam, and one store has tens of thousands of taels a year! How did you get to the big room? The four shops in your hand are only 10,000 taels in three years?! Girl, this is obviously deceiving!"
Liu Xi nodded.
"I understand, I have my own measure of this matter, nanny, go and find Uncle Liu."
The nurse nodded quickly and went out.
Gu Changjun tugged at the ledger in front of Liu Xi with a smile, "I knew that the big house would not be honest."
Liu Xi hooked her lips, "I didn't expect her to be honest at all. Fortunately, the deed is back. As for the accounts for these years, I will take them out from the big house."
When Gu Changjun heard this, he hurriedly recommended himself: "I'll go! I like to spend money in other people's pockets the most."
Liu Xi looked at Gu Changjun, "How do you dig it out?"
Gu Changjun shook his head mysteriously, "Benshan people have their own tricks!"
"Girl, Miss Gu."
Liu Xi wanted to say a few words to Gu Changjun, but Butler Liu came over.
drive away."
Butler Liu was a little worried.
Gu Changjun thought about it and said, "I'll arrange a few people here."
Liu Xi's eyes lit up, "Sure, I can rest assured about your people."
"Okay, wrap it on me."
Gu Changjun said happily.
Butler Liu glanced at Gu Changjun in surprise, he didn't know that Gu Changjun had someone in his hands.
Liu Xi and Gu Changjun didn't say much, just explained a few words and let Steward Liu go down.
The next day, Gu Changjun found Chen Sanjiang and talked about the important person.
Chen San was very excited, but after considering the overall situation, he rubbed his hands hesitantly and said, "Our brothers often hang out on the street, if this is recognized, will it be? Affect the business in the shop?"
"What's the matter," Gu Changjun didn't find it difficult at all, "After entering the shop, you have to wear the clothes and hats of the guys, and let the brothers shave the beards on their faces. If you are clean and don’t speak dirty words, you will be recognized by others, and you will be fine if you don’t admit it.”
Chen San nodded again and again, "Goodbye Sister Gu!"
"Tsk, this is a high opinion, it's called thick skin."
Gu Changjun blinked.
Chen San doesn't care what it is, as long as Gu Changjun said it, he just nods his head.
"Sister Gu is so thick-skinned!"
"Huh?!"
Chen San, who had reacted, hurriedly stretched out his hand and hit his mouth, saying, "I'm thick-skinned, I'm thick-skinned!"
Zhao Si also agreed: "It's all thick! It's all thick!"
Gu Changjun: .....
"By the way, Sister Gu, there is one more thing. Some brothers say that the government has arrested some people who say people are right and wrong in the restaurant."
Chen San said seriously.
Gu Changjun raised his eyebrows, "When did the government take care of this kind of thing?"
" It is said that there have been too many rumors and rumors in the capital recently, which has damaged the appearance of the capital, so now as long as I hear people gossiping, they will be arrested and put in jail for a few days before they are released. I guess this It's to suppress the rumors of the Liu family."
Gu Changjun pondered quietly for a moment, and finally said: "This Liu family's big house is really good. It is obviously a poor and famous family, and this government is still helping them..."
Chen San and Zhao Si looked at each other, Chen San wondered: "Sister Gu, don't you know?"
"Know what?"
Gu Changjun wondered.
Chen San quickly explained, "In my opinion, this government is not helping the Liu family, but the entire Liu family. After all, if the rumor spreads, the reputation of the entire Liu family will be damaged."
"Why am I getting more and more confused?"
Gu Changjun frowned.
Chen San slapped his thigh fiercely, "Let's put it this way, in my opinion, this government mostly protects the Liu family because of the face of the two girls in the Liu family."
Gu Changjun squinted, "Isn't Liu Qianqian, the second girl of the Liu family, the third?"
Chen San slapped her mouth, "No, this Liu family has three siblings, of which the eldest and third are brothers, and the second eldest is a girl, this Liu Er girl is incredible, marrying When I arrived at the famous Zhang family in Jingjing, the Zhang family has a big business, and I heard that there are people in several rooms who are officials, I think they came to say hello and let the official here take care of the Liu family."
Gu Changjun blinked, and regardless of who the Zhang family was, he slammed the table and said with a sudden realization, "I'll just say it! It turns out that the Zhang family is behind the Liu family. This Zhang family is really good, I heard the name of that family a lot when I was in Kyoto."
Chen San and Zhao Si immediately laughed and praised Gu Changjun for his knowledge.
Gu Changjun took all the orders, but he was murmuring about the origin of the Zhang family.
After instructing the third brothers Chen again, Gu Changjun returned to the Liu family.
She went straight to the study, and sure enough, Liu Xi was inside.
"The person has been selected and will be at the shop in the afternoon."
Gu Changjun sat down opposite Liu Xi carelessly.
"Tired? I'll get you a snack."
Liu Xi smiled.
"No, I'm not hungry."
Gu Changjun shook his head.
Liu Xi did not say more after hearing the words, and buried her head in writing again.
Gu Changjun ran over to take a look, and found out that it was about the store and stopped joining in the fun. She didn't know how to do business, and making an idea would be a disservice.
"Sister Xi, I wanted to ask you when I called back to the capital, why are there no maids and servants by your side?"
Gu Changjun rummaged in front of the bookshelf to find the way.
Liu Xi didn't lift her head, and replied, "My father and mother are happy, and my father takes care of everything by my mother, so there are no such people. I'm used to it, and there are Nanny and Uncle Liu."
"Yes, there are many people right and wrong."
Gu Changjun nodded in agreement, her general's residence was not the only one of Aunt Hong.
Liu Xi stopped the pen in her hand, raised her hand, put the pen aside, smiled at Gu Changjun and said, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Gu Changjun blinked, ran to Liu Xi and stood still, "How do you know?"
Liu Xi curled her lips into a smile, instead of answering, she asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Gu Changjun sat down beside Liu Xi and said, "The rumors about the big house outside were suppressed by the government, and Chen San guessed that the government was for your aunt's sake. I don't know if it's true or not, so I want to ask you."
Liu Xi listened to Gu Changjun mentioning her aunt, but nothing changed, she shook her head, "It shouldn't be, my aunt is far away in Kyoto, and she faces a lot of people and things in the Zhang family. I'm so busy, how can I take care of this."
Gu Changjun nodded and said, "Could it be your uncle who greeted you here?"
Liu Xi shook her head even more when she heard the words, "My uncle is an upright person and has always been upright. He never participated in this kind of thing. I think there is something hidden in this matter."
"That's it."
Gu Changjun scratched his head, and finally said, "I'll check again."
Liu Xi smiled when she heard the words, and when she looked at Gu Changjun's hair, she messed up, so she took out a wooden comb from the cabinet to re-tie Gu Changjun's hair.
Gu Changjun glanced at the cabinet in surprise, "Are you still putting a wooden comb in the study?"
Liu Xi chuckled, "This habit was also learned from my mother, my father loves to read and write, and when he encounters difficult problems, he often scratches his ears and cheeks, and his hair is messy, so my mother... ..."
Speaking of this, Liu Xi was taken aback. Isn't what she did at this time the same as what Mother Liu did to Father Liu?
"Sister Xi?"
Gu Changjun called out in confusion.
Liu Xi lowered her head and glanced at the wooden comb in her hand, "It's nothing, I'm thinking of going to Zhou's house to visit Miss Zhou tomorrow."
"Okay, that shop still has to open earlier. I will tell Chen San if I have anything in the future."
Gu Changjun squinted his eyes.
"Good."
Liu Xi replied softly, and the movements of her subordinates became more and more gentle.
The warm sunlight shone on the two of them through the wooden window, reflecting two intimate figures on the ground, which looked extremely beautiful.
After she returned to the big room, she told Mrs. Liu Xi exactly what Liu Xi said.
Mrs. Liu smiled coldly.
"I thought she was a little girl who didn't know anything, how could I know that she had already become a cunning fox."
Mother Lin stood upright and said nothing.
"Ma'am! It's not good ma'am!"
A woman trotted into the house with a worried look.
"What happened?"
Mrs. Liu was also shocked by her mother-in-law's behavior, for fear that something would happen, so she hurriedly said.
The old woman gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "The small yard that was cleaned up yesterday has moved in."
Mrs. Liu was shocked, she stood up abruptly, and said angrily: "I'm the lady of the main room anyway, this master doesn't say hello to anyone!"
What is this word like!
After speaking, Mrs. Liu angrily threw her sleeves out of the room.
Mother Lin and the old lady looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
"It's done so quickly? Sister Xi, you really can."
Gu Changjun happily hugged the clothes Liu Xi made for her and laughed.
Seeing that Gu Changjun was happy, Liu Xi was happy too, she said, "Try it and see if it suits you."
"It's definitely suitable. What my sister Xi did, it's suitable for anything."
Gu Changjun took the clothes and wrapped them around himself, not to mention the size was just right.
Liu Xi looked at it carefully, then shook her head and said, "The sleeves are shorter."
Gu Changjun looked down at the sleeves, "Where's the shortness? Besides, I always like to roll up the sleeves, so that's fine."
Liu Xi was helpless, so she had to let Gu Changjun toss and toss, she glanced at Gu Changjun's shoes and smiled: "This hot day is coming, I will make you some pairs of thin shoes. ."
Gu Changjun nodded warmly in his heart, but remembered that Liu Xi had done so much for him, but he couldn't do anything, so he was embarrassed and said, "I can't do needlework. , can't do anything for you."
"Where did you find it?"
Gu Changjun stammered, she remembered that she obviously threw it away.
"Well, I just accidentally saw some people sneaking around in the flower garden for a long time. Out of curiosity, I waited for someone to walk over and looked at it. No, I found this."
Speaking, Liu Xi shook the ugly purse in front of Gu Changjun again.
Gu Changjun couldn't bear to look directly and said, "I tossed it for several days, but it turned out to be really shameful, so I threw it away."
Liu Xi laughed again, she carefully put her purse into her words, "It's okay, take your time."
Gu Changjun blinked, hugged Liu Xi's slender waist, and kept rubbing her head, "My good sister Xi."
Liu Xi looked around in a panic, "Be careful, the nurse has to say something when she sees it."
Gu Changjun remembered the serious face of the nanny, and suddenly sighed, and let go of Liu Xi unwillingly.
Not long after she let go of Liu Xi, the nanny really appeared, but her face was full of smiles, and she also brought a large plate of snacks in her hand.
"Oh, the nurse just loves me, I'm a little hungry."
Gu Changjun smiled and took a piece of dim sum from the plate and put it in his mouth, the red bean flavor was delicious.
"Then put your stomach first, this old slave will cook more good dishes tonight, you can eat slowly."
The nanny laughed.
Gu Changjun nodded hurriedly, "Nanny is so nice! But looking at your smiling face, what's the good thing?"
Liu Xi also smiled and looked at the nurse.
"What happened again?"
Gu Changjun's eyes lit up and he said warmly.
"I heard that the eldest man brought people back. Now the big house is lively to watch."
The nanny said with a smile, what she likes most is the liveliness of the big room.
Liu Xi was a little surprised when she heard this, "Uncle brought someone into the house? Is this news true?"
Gu Changjun had a puzzled look on her face, she asked in confusion, "What?"
Liu Xi explained: "The aunt is very jealous. I heard from my grandmother that when the aunt's family was forcing the uncle not to take a concubine, otherwise the marriage would be abandoned, in order to get the aunt's wife With the help of the family, the uncle has not taken a concubine since the marriage."
…”
Gu Changjun and Liu Xi were also interested when they saw that the nanny was right, so the three of them talked about the big room for a long time.
"Of course, this is what the old slave heard, but how could someone pass it on without revealing the truth? So the old slave thinks it must be true."
The nanny nodded affirmatively.
Gu Changjun and Liu Xi looked at each other and laughed.
The nanny laughed so hard.
After laughing, Liu Xi said, "Whether it's true or not, if the uncle dares to carry people back this time, the uncle will be busy."
"Well, let's just watch the show."
Gu Changjun also nodded.
"I'll think about it again. Nanny, go ahead."
Liu Xi quickly stopped the nurse and said with a smile.
The nanny was a little unfulfilled, but she knew what to do, and went down with the empty plate that was eaten by Gu Changjun.
"I think Nanny's suggestion is good," Gu Changjun turned his head and smiled at Liu Xi.
Liu Xi shook her head.
"I have a niece who meddles in my uncle's private affairs. I'm afraid it will be a joke."
Gu Changjun suddenly realized, but then her eyes lit up again, "You can't interfere, I can!"
"If that person can be our inner responder, it will be easy to clean up the big room."
Liu Xi blinked, "Then let's see."
Gu Changjun nodded, her eyes wandering, she remembered the tea leaves she put back when she visited the big room last night, and the face of Mrs. "Material" has begun to work, and now it is only necessary to stimulate each other step by step.
As if thinking of something funny, Gu Changjun couldn't laugh alone there, and Liu Xi was confused.
"Okay, good thing hahaha! I'll tell you when the time comes."
Gu Changjun said thiefly.
Liu Xi nodded.
The next day, the two packed up, stepped on the carriage and rushed to Zhou's house.
Because Liu Xi sent a message to Zhou Yan in advance saying that she would come to visit today, the carriage of the two stopped at the gate of Zhou's house when a woman dressed like a big girl stepped forward to greet her.
"Liu girl, Gu girl, our girls have prepared refreshments, the two girls please come with the slaves."
The maid's attitude is respectful but not humble, and it is very comfortable to speak well.
Gu Changjun glanced at the plaque on the door of the Zhou family. It was majestic and majestic. It was indeed a family of lawyers.
The Zhou family is very big, and it is not a poor and famous family. The corridors and flower gardens that they passed through this way gave Gu Changjun and Liu Xi a sense of the Zhou family.
The maid led the two to the gate of a yard and smiled: "This is our girl's yard."
Liu Xi and the others heard Zhou Yan's voice before they entered.
"Move this away!"
"And that one!"
Listening to that voice is full of vitality, and I want to come to Zhou Yan's foot injury.
The two stepped into the yard and saw Zhou Yan at the stone table in the yard, directing the servants to do their best.
"Girl, Miss Liu and Miss Gu are here."
The author has something to say: Gu Changjun: It is said that I have a lot of nicknames, such as Gu Xijing, Gu Houpi, Gu counseling...
