MTL - The Landlord And His Wife-Chapter 171 : do a little favor
The two continued to drink tea, and Fang Jicheng and Liu Yuner did not come either. Liu Lin actually suspected that they would not come at all. The words he said when he left that day were just to scare the Hanlin Miss of the house.
Personal appearance... Actually, something happened at home."
Liu Lin nodded suddenly, but did not ask, because it is difficult to ask.
Since Miss Hanlin opened her mouth, she wanted to make it clear.
It turned out that their family name was Song, and their grandfather was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy in the previous dynasty. He retired eight or nine years ago and returned to his hometown. Old Hanlin passed away last year, and there is only one son in the family, the young lady's father. Miss Song has two older brothers.
Miss Song's father was admitted to the jinshi, but his health has always been bad, so he did not become an official. After the old Hanlin died, the health of the young lady's father also deteriorated. getting worse.
The two older brothers of the young lady are not very good. Although the elder brother also studied and took the imperial examinations, he was a bit nerdy. Now he is just a candidate. , can't go any further.
And Miss Song's second brother, is really a playboy, idle all day, never study, only spend time, and no longer stay in a rural place like Fengxian, in the capital.
About her eldest brother and second brother, especially her second brother, Miss Song said very simple, just said a few words, but Liu Lin already heard it.
In the past, there was an old man in the Hanlin mansion, and everything could be done in a way, but after the old man passed away, only Miss Song's father could manage a little thing, but obviously this father is not a competent person. , In recent years, he has only been supported by some family background and a few loyal old housekeepers. However, in the past two or three years, the old housekeeper also passed away, and the old one was old, so the family slowly declined, and finally it was impossible to maintain it now.
Miss Song's second brother had some troubles in the capital a while ago, and needed money to turn around. The family could only sell some things before sending the money, but the manor was no longer able to maintain it. , so most of the servants were dismissed. This shop was also left behind with gritted teeth, just so that in the future the family can rely on this to have a mouthful of food.
What Miss Song said was relatively simple and did not go into depth, but Liu Lin had already understood it in general, and she must have reached the end of the mountain. to toss about business matters. There was only an old nanny by her side.
Miss Song nodded: "Then he should be able to get it today."
The nanny continued to look in front of her. Then Miss Song told Liu Lin that this nanny was not her nanny either. Her nanny was in the capital, and she was no longer her family. Her mother's nurse was also helpless, so she stayed in the mansion.
Liu Lin was speechless, the Hanlin family too, with such a high level of knowledge, how could they make life so difficult? Failed like this?
Ms. Song talked a lot, and it was already noon when she finished speaking. Liu Lin was sure that Fang Jicheng would not come. Listening to the nurse, there are still two cabinets here? Do you really have to wait here for a day?
After thinking for a while, Liu Lin said to Miss Song, "Miss Song, go back to eat, it's too early to be here, as long as there are people watching over here? I'll call me the next one. People are watching, Fang Jicheng is here, just watch him move away." There is nothing here, and there should be nothing to worry about.
Liu Lin said this, and Miss Song also thought about it. Indeed, this is an empty shop, and no one will take advantage of it. I came here today, and I brought someone to clean it up by the way. As a person who met by chance, she was already a very enthusiastic and good person. How could she turn around and still not trust Liu Lin.
He nodded and agreed, and said embarrassedly, "I really don't know what to say. Originally it had nothing to do with Young Master, but now I'm bringing you in..."
Liu Lin can only wave his hand: "Miss Song, please don't call me that, I'm really not a son, it's really awkward to call me like that, so you can call me Liu Lin. It's a small effort. If you are in the country, helping each other is a common thing. You don't have to worry about it, Miss. Then you can go back with your nanny, and come back around the next hour or so, and I will come at that time. Lock the shop door and you're done."
Miss Song agreed and thanked her again and again, and then she left with the nurse.
Call to move.
He went to the shop himself.
Around 1:00 p.m., Liu Lin came to Song's shop again, and was surprised to find that the cabinet was still there, and asked Xiaobei, Xiaobei shook his head: "No one came, never came."
Liu Lin is strange, don't know what the **** Fang Jicheng and Liu Yuner are doing? If the cabinet is not taken away, it can't be abandoned, and the Song family can't dispose of it casually. Otherwise, Fang Jicheng is using this as an excuse to cause trouble for the Song family?
The main reason is that the Song family does not have any capable people now, otherwise Liu Lin would not worry about it for them. Now it is Miss Song who has come forward from the Song family. It is obviously a loss for this Miss Song to deal with Fang Jicheng. !
Liu Lin was getting annoyed, so he gave him the cabinet and left it outside! But thinking about it is still not good, if it is damaged or lost, Fang Jicheng still wants to trouble the Song family.
While talking here, Miss Song brought her nanny over. When she heard that Fang Jicheng hadn't moved the cabinet away, Miss Song was also stunned. Look at the sky, it's getting dark, what's the matter? To or not to?
The nanny remembered that there wouldn't be anything from that person in the backyard, so hurry up and see, so Miss Song also went in to check.
Liu Lin said to Xiaobeidao: "Go and call, tell them, give him half an hour to come and move, if he doesn't come for half an hour, put the cabinet at the door of the shop and lose it. Come on, don't look for it."
Xiaobei promised to go out to look for it, when Liu Lin saw Francis Francis coming with two people from a distance. After seeing him, Fang Jicheng's face was still a little surprised.
Liu Lin looked up at the sky and suddenly understood. Fang Jicheng probably waited until now on purpose, he didn't expect that he would still be here. Deliberately waited until it was dark before coming over. Maybe it was because the Song family had no other servants and wanted to take the opportunity to bully Miss Song? Or to say something flirtatious is unknown.
Liu Lin was already very annoyed, but she whispered to Xiaobeidao: "In a while, you and Xiaoxiui will become the servants of Miss Song's family."
It happened that Miss Song and her nanny were in the backyard at the moment, Liu Lin asked Xiaoxi to say that Francis was here, but she didn't need to come out, she would call Xiaoxi to report something.
I gave orders here, Fang Jicheng had already come over, Xiaobei said: "Why did you come? Our young master and young lady are in a hurry, and they all went back, saying that if you don't come to get the cabinet again , let it go outside."
Fang Jicheng glanced at Liu Lin and snorted: "You are diligent! What does it have to do with you, I always see you here?"
Liu Lin also snorted: "I like this shop and want to rent it. Why, can't it?"
Fang Jicheng saw that Liu Lin was here and guessed it, and there was no other possibility! So he snorted again, this time he didn't speak again, and asked people to move it.
Just as Xiaoxi came out of the backyard, Xiaobei asked, "Has the backyard been cleaned up? Are there any other things?"
Xiaoxi shook her head: "No more."
Xiao Bei nodded and said, "Clean up. The last time the young lady came, she said that it was very messy, and she was angry, so that the young master also came to see it in person."
"Don't worry, this time it's cleaned up."
The two talked in a low voice, Liu Lin stared at Fang Jicheng with his back and moved the cabinet out, and then he turned around in the shop, to be honest, he really wanted to put The idea of renting this shop, this shop is in a good location, and the silk business is naturally on the busiest street.
He sighed inwardly, but the time was not right, which was a pity.
Fang Jicheng watched him turn around in the shop, snorted and said nothing, asked someone to carry the cabinet away, and said to Xiaobei: "Go back and tell your master, this place has been returned to you, what? Don't look for me."
Xiao Bei said with a smile: "Okay, you also seem to have collected everything, don't talk about what's left in a few days."
Francis snorted and left.
The nanny was looking around at the back door. When she saw that guy was finally gone, she hurriedly invited Miss Song out. Naturally, Miss Song thanked Liu Lin again and again. Lin waved his hand and wanted to say goodbye.
Miss Song has another idea. She could also see that Liu Lin really wanted to rent a shop, but they made it clear that now is not the time. Speaking of which, Miss Song was also frightened by people like Fang Jicheng. Nowadays, there is no one in the family for renting a shop. She is the only girl in her boudoir who has come forward to do it. Therefore, she is most afraid of meeting someone like Fang Jicheng.
But if you want to rent out a shop, you have to deal with people. Therefore, Miss Song really wanted to rent the shop to Liu Lin. Although it was four months late, the family would not run out of food for four months, but if she wanted to rent out the shop in a hurry, she would sacrifice her face and all kinds of things. Dealing with all kinds of people, if something happens, it will not be worth the loss.
Miss Song has a good idea, so she would like to discuss with Liu Lin.
