Chapter 968

At the same time, in the back alley of the Fourth Master's Mansion, in a small courtyard with a closed courtyard gate, Lao Qi, who was being nagged by Erfu, was scratching his ears and waiting for Yujie to come back, he hit the back door of Yujie's entry into the Fourth Master's Mansion, and couldn't sit still in the house.

Just as Lao Qi was about to get up and go to the door to take a look again, a plump young woman walked out of the room, she glanced at Lao Qi, who was uneasy, came to him with a handkerchief, twisted the tender flesh on Lao Qi's waist, and scolded through gritted teeth: "The concubine hasn't seen that you are still a lover, so reluctant to let your heart and soul be questioned by the nobles, then you should go to the mansion with him, and take a good look at how beautiful and decent she is in the prince's mansion!"

The person who came was not someone else, it was Lao Qi's wife Zhao.

To say that Zhao's personality is not too bad, before getting married, she was also a gentle and virtuous lady in the boudoir, but she entrusted non-people, took over the family's industry from Lao Qi, and began to go south and north to do business, this has been hidden in the bones of the prodigal completely drilled out, he is a concubine to the family one by one, forced Zhao into a resentful woman, especially when Yujie appeared, she was completely blackened, and her resentment and dissatisfaction with Lao Qi were all imposed on Yujie's body, but Yujie, the most innocent person, was bullied。

This time, Lao Qi proposed to take Yujie into Beijing to explain, and she came together if she was not at ease.

She has not forgotten the appearance of Yujie when she first came to the Qi family, so beautiful and refined, so elegant and charming, she hated it so much, but she didn't dare to rashly make a move on Yujie, because she knew that Yujie was a palace maid who came out of the mansion, that was by no means an ordinary person, if it wasn't for Lao Qi's mismanagement at that time, she needed to ask Zhao to take out a large sum of silver to help turn around, and come up with a way to practice Yujie, the resentment in Zhao's heart is estimated to have been pressed in her heart!

This time, let Yujie get in touch with the Fourth Master's Mansion again, how could she not be shocked......

She knew how she treated Yujie at the beginning, and she didn't know Yujie's innocence, but for the sake of her own position and the future of the children she gave birth to, she had to suppress Yujie with a clear conscience, but she didn't understand Yujie's character, Yujie was different from her, Yujie had been with Erfu for many years, and had already accepted Erf's set. If the husband is ruthless, I will leave's concept, if it weren't for the inability to resist, Yujie would have thrown a letter of resignation on Lao Qi's face, and completely left the tiger's den and wolf's den of the Qi family.

Hearing Zhao's jealousy Lao Qi's eyes flashed a trace of impatience, but a flattering smile appeared on his face, rubbing the pain in his back with his backhand, grinning and holding Zhao's arm, he moved to the stone table in the courtyard with difficulty and sat down, and said comfortingly: " Oh, my good lady, what are you talking about, I have been married to you for many years, don't you know my affection for you, I'm not afraid that she will go to the noble person to talk nonsense, in case she deliberately retaliates against us, I am staring at the movement at the back door, so as not to be caught by the nobleman!"

Lao Qi's mouth, although it is said that he can't say that the dead are alive, but to coax the Zhao family, it is definitely overkill, he has already coaxed the Zhao family into a smile in a few words, and frowned and thought of a way to excuse him, " If you want me to say, you shouldn't come with Yujie's cheap maid this time, and arrange two reliable house slaves to follow, if Yujie can coax the nobles not to pursue our shoddy things, if not, we are far away in Jiangnan, and we are not afraid of the nobles looking for our trouble, you see, you take the initiative to run under the noses of others, if Yujie's cheap maid confesses you and me, wouldn't it be troublesome. As she spoke, she felt more and more that letting Lao Qi and Yujie come over this time was a water in her brain, and she secretly gritted her teeth with regret.

"If you say that, you're too confused.

You don't want to think about what kind of place Yongwang Mansion is, if you really want to be investigated by other nobles, we just have ten heads that are not enough to compensate, don't look at us in the local area, we have so much face, but why don't you know the truth that the people don't fight with the officials, if this noble person wants to clean up us, it's not a matter of casual words.

I went to Beijing this time, why do you think I brought so many silver tickets, it's not that I'm worried that Yujie will give us back, with silver tickets to open the way, I can always win over a few people in front of Xinfujin to talk to us, and then let's push Yujie out to fight the pot, let's be in front of Xinfujin, it's easier to explain, maybe this shopping errand can be saved!" Lao Qi was impatient, and explained in a gentle tone as much as possible, and at the same time secretly regretted that if he hadn't seen how much help his maiden family in the Zhao family had helped his own industry, and there was a cousin who was watching in the court as a backer, he would have taken Zhao off directly.

Now that I think about it, if I were to take care of the affairs of the mansion by Yujie, I would not have done such an unwise and short-sighted thing, and I would dare to withhold the silver sent by the Yongwang Mansion, and in turn ask him, as a husband, to clean up the mess for her.

It's just that when Zhao heard him say this, he was very unimpressed.

She has to take care of a large family at home, and she has to buy those bits and pieces of things on a monthly basis, and she is willing to buy similar things from the house, that is, she wants to earn a few pieces of silver and spend, otherwise she would have let Lao Qi push this thankless job.

Lao Qi and the Zhao family have shared the same bed for many years, how could he not know the Zhao family's thoughts, his face turned cold when he landed, and he planned to take this opportunity to talk to the Zhao family about what a great thing it was to buy for the Fourth Master's Mansion," You are at home all the year round, you don't know the situation outside, you don't always think that the outside world is our ancestral house such a boxy small place, that is, you don't know how big the outside world is, you should always understand that the status of businessmen is low, even those old farmers who rely on the sky to eat are not comparable to it, I have been running outside all these years, do you think I am just enjoying outside, not to mention anything else, even if our local small county officials are in front of me, I have to be careful to laugh, and send a lot of dividends every month, but since we took over the errand of Yongwangfu to buy, even the hairpin banquet of Mrs. County Ling has handed you a post, Don't you see how much benefit it is to take over the Yongwang Mansion to buy errands, don't always stare at those few scattered silver, I told you a long time ago, you must buy according to the list handed over by Yongwang Mansion, that is, the silver sent over is not enough, it is nothing, we are not short of those few scattered silver, in order to rely on the big ship of Yongwangfu, but you just don't listen to persuasion, this will not let Xin Fujin seize the handle. ”

"Hey, I have already instructed my subordinates to buy according to the order, if it weren't for your cousin's hands and feet being too fast, he wouldn't have sent the sum of the things to the capital, even if this is weird, you should be blamed on your cousin, I don't know if he deliberately wanted to spoil his contacts with Yongwangfu. Seeing that Lao Qi's face was cold, Zhao couldn't care about being jealous, so he hurriedly pulled out a smiling face, softened his body, stuck it to Lao Qi's body, rubbed Lao Qi's arm fiercely, and explained softly.

Although Lao Qi knew that Zhao's words were quibbling, he also had a little doubt about his cousin in his heart, because at that time he had obviously told Guan not to load the box of things on the ship in advance, after all, Zhao didn't know the severity of this matter, but he understood, until Zhao's shoddy, he had already rushed home to arrange, how could he send this box of shoddy goods to Yongwang's Mansion in a daze, if no one was in charge, the steward would never dare to load the goods on the ship without his own consent, and the person responsible for arranging these trivial matters at the dock at that time was his cousin Qi Er。

"Okay, don't say these things that don't need it, since the matter has come out, let's quickly find a way to solve it, how can I win over a few people who can talk in front of Xin Fujin now, this is the important thing, you don't want to be idle at home, hurry up and take the gifts we prepared to go to the house of Mama Song and Mama Kong next to you to walk around, I heard Yujie say before, the people living near here are all people who work as errands in the Yongwang Mansion, and people who don't have heads and faces can't live in this alley. However, Lao Qi was calmer than Zhao, he could still distinguish priorities, just thinking about it in his heart, he overwhelmed this doubt in his heart, brought up more important things, pointed to the big box in the hall, and commanded softly.

Speaking of wanting to please those slaves and servants, Zhao instinctively wanted to object, but seeing Lao Qi's solemn face, she didn't dare to say anything, she greeted the little girl who had sorted out her luggage in the room with some unhappiness, and got up to go to the hall to get some gifts in the box.

"My hair is long, my knowledge is short, and the ancients did not deceive me. Lao Qi looked at Zhao's back and muttered, but he didn't say anything more to Zhao.

When he came, he heard that in the innermost courtyard of the back alley, there were two big companions of the eldest brother Honghui in the house, who were the children of the nobles of the Eight Banners, and Honghui was a servant from childhood to adulthood, and the weight of his speech was definitely heavier than those grandmothers who lived on both sides of his house, and the new Fujin must have to express his importance to the elder brother left by the first Fujin in front of Prince Yong, and he easily did not dare to refute the request of the elder brother, so that the gift he gave out was valuable.

Of course, he still has the idea of leaving a way back for himself, thinking that even if he loses the errand of backyard shopping, he can win over the relationship in the front yard and get another job in the front yard, which is also the best thing, and it can be a little more beautiful than before!

Thinking of this, Lao Qi couldn't sit still anymore, he looked at the Zhao family who was still grinding and picking gifts in the hall, urged impatiently, and explained that the door was optimistic about the family, so he went to the innermost courtyard in the back alley to find someone and pull a relationship.

At this time, there were a few gatekeepers in the small courtyard in the back alley, Lao Qi came to the door rashly, these people definitely didn't dare to let him in, he had to stuff a few doors with broken silver, and then returned to his own house in disgrace.

Just as he was about to enter the door, Lao Qi saw the back door of the Fourth Master's Mansion open.

The big palace maid who came to pick up Yujie into the house before carried a food box, and walked over to Lao Qi, and the poetry stopped Lao Qi from afar, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, and greeted with a smile: "You are Sister Yujie's husband, I am the palace maid in front of our Fujin, our Fujin is distressed that Gege has not seen Sister Yujie for a long time, so he left your sister Yujie to talk to Gege in the house, this is a small snack that Gege asked me to send to Brother Qi, I happened to meet you, you take it quickly, I have to call back to our Fujin!" ”

"Miss Shiqing, Fu Jin has something to say!" Lao Qi took the food box, smiled and gave the prepared small gift, and asked in a low voice, he was already relieved when he saw Shiqing's attitude and tone of speaking, and he was more free to deal with it, and in the end, he also pretended to be fluent and folded the hem of his sleeves, and took two or three steps back slightly, as if he was avoiding suspicion.

Seeing this, Shiqing secretly sneered in his heart, but his face was still smiling, and he continued: "Fujin was so happy when he saw Sister Yujie, he took Sister Yujie and went to the West Courtyard to talk to Sangege, where are you still thinking about what to say to Brother Qi, if it weren't for Sangege's thoughtfulness, I'm afraid that Brother Qi is thinking about Sister Yujie outside, I'm afraid that our Fujin can't remember to pass a message to you at night!" Saying that, she seemed to be afraid that Lao Qi would not understand the reason here, and told Erfu how to fake her death and remarry the fourth master, after all, this matter is not a secret in the fourth master's mansion, and the old people who are serving in the house know that instead of letting Lao Qi hear the news from other people's mouths, it is better for her to tell Lao Qi early, and it is better to calm Lao Qi's heart, which is also what Erfu specially explained when she let her come over to pass the word to Lao Qi, otherwise she would not dare to make such a self-assertion even if she thought of it.

"That'...... Then let Yujie accompany the master of Fujin more in the house, I don't have any major events here, it's just that your sister Yujie is pregnant, and I trouble you to take care of her more, so as not to tire her out. Lao Qi didn't expect that the new Fujin was the original Guerjia side Fujin, and he panicked, but when he saw the poetry smiling and chanting, he obviously didn't know that he and the Zhao family were treating Yujie harshly at home, so he settled down, smiled and agreed, chatted a few words, and then found an excuse to return home.

Inside the house, the Zhao family, who had not yet gone to the side to pull the relationship, saw Lao Qi coming back, and hurriedly greeted him, and while taking the food box that Lao Qi was carrying, he asked with a smile: "Why did you come back so soon, is there any good news?"

"There is a piece of news that is good or bad, whether it is bad or not, do you want to listen to it?"

Zhao smiled and pushed Lao Qi, but he was relieved in his heart, but when Lao Qi had already found a relationship, he urged softly: "I have learned to sell Guanzi, talk about it quickly, and save me from worrying about it." ”

When Lao Qi heard this, he pulled out the arm that Zhao was holding, and said lightly: "The new Fujin is the original Guerjia side Fujin, that is, Yujie's original master, do you think this is good news, and is it bad news!" After speaking, he glanced at Zhao coldly and walked to the room by himself.
