Chapter 571: I want to get rid of it
The small courtyard where Yue's mother and daughter live, the area is not large, but it is better than exquisite, three main rooms, the middle is the main hall, the rooms on both sides are large and small, the outer room is a small hall to receive good friends, and the inner room is the bedroom, separated by the Bogu frame of pear blossom wood, there were antiques on the Bogu shelf, Yue's was worried about accidentally breaking, and the antiques were installed, and asked Puxiang to put it away, and now the Bogu shelf is empty.

The Nanmu official hat chair in the main hall, some rags were spread on the table of the Eight Immortals, Yue and two eight or nine-year-old little maids laid out the mat, sat on the ground to do needlework, and suddenly someone outside spoke: "Ah Lang, the lady of the Hua family lives here." ”
There is no one else in the house who is called Ah Lang except for the high-powered, unattainable young man. Yue's face changed greatly, and he quickly patted the needlework on his body, got up and went out.
Cheng Mo stood in the courtyard, looked at the vines that covered half of the courtyard, and said, "You go and report it, and say that I want to see you." ”
Puxiang pursed his lips and thought, do you still need to be so polite to that stubborn lady? The Yue family forced him to follow his own ideas, but he didn't have a good impression of the Yue family at all.
"Ah Lang, in your own mansion, why do you have to report it?"
"What words? Aunt Yue temporarily lives in our house, she is a guest, but she is not a servant, how can she not report it? ”
Yue listened to the conversation between the two in his ears, and his heart was inexplicably moved. Hua shopkeeper in Yi'anju before becoming the shopkeeper, was dismissed by the old owner, had to return to the home in Beijing, the family has no life, and it is about to be unable to open the pot, just at this time I met Cheng Mo, only to become the big shopkeeper of today's famous capital, if there is no Cheng Mo, a nobleman, their family, I am afraid that they would have starved to death. Cheng Mo is a lifesaver for them.
"Don't say that, boss." Yue curtsied and said hurriedly: "The kindness of the owner, the little woman's family is engraved in their hearts, and if the owner says this again, it will be tormented by the little woman." ”
Cheng Mo hurriedly grabbed the false support and said: "Aunt Yue must not be so arrogant, it is advisable to live in peace today, and it is all up to the shopkeeper Hua to manage it carefully." If my mother and daughter dwell in my house for a while, and I treat them as slaves, are they still human beings? ”
"The owner ......" Yue was choked up and speechless. She has been poor since she was a child, and she has some inferiority, and in front of a big man like Cheng Mo, she is even lower to the dust, if she doesn't support herself, she will hardly have the courage to live here.
Puxiang said: "It's too hot outside, Aunt Yue, why don't you ask Ah Lang to talk in the hall." ”
On a hot day, even if the sun sets, the courtyard is hot.
Yue's hurriedly said: "The owner is please." He said to Hua Jin'er, who was following behind the ghost: "Why don't you hurry up and put on the melons and fruits, what are you doing?" ”
Hua Jin'er grimaced and hurriedly went to the small kitchen to wash the fruit. Yue's refused to accept the food sent, Cheng Mo ordered, Puxiang naturally insisted on sending it, not to mention the rice, noodles, fish and meat needed every day, even melons and fruits and snacks were not lacking, so there were ready-made melons and fruits in the small courtyard.
Cheng Mo stepped into the house, and when he saw that the elegant living room looked like a mud house in the countryside, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Yue asked the two little girls to quickly take the half-made needlework into the inner room, then wiped the chair with their sleeves and asked Cheng Mo to sit.
The corners of Cheng Mo's mouth twitched, he just stood and spoke, and said: "Aunt Yue, Shopkeeper Hua is running around for Yi's peaceful residence, you are a guest in my house, don't treat yourself so badly, my house has a large population, and it is not bad for your mother and daughter to eat in one bite, don't be so outside." ”
Puxiang followed to help: "Yes, Aunt Yue, if you do this, spread it, people will say that the prime minister slammed the door and discredited the prime minister." What is the point of eating with your two mouths in the house? ”
Don't say that it is advisable to live in peace and make money every day, even if Cheng Mo is the prime minister, it is also endless to eat and drink, not to mention all kinds of filial piety for officials who enter Beijing, as well as various rewards from the emperor?
Yue has always felt that he was already very embarrassed to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was afraid that he would be powerless and powerless, and would be looked down upon by the servants in the mansion, so he had to be self-reliant, hoping to do needlework to earn daily expenses, which was also a fault in his inferiority complex.
Cheng Moken came to see her in person, it was to give her a great face, and Puxiang said that she was doing this to discredit Cheng Mo, it didn't seem that she had asked Cheng Mo, but Cheng Mo had asked her. As soon as she understood it like this, she had all the face.
"Prime Minister Xie, the chief butler Xie Pu, the concubine accepted the things sent every day. It's just that Jin'er is not young, so she can't do nothing, so it's better to let her help in the house and do something. "Yue's family is as good as a stream, and he agrees to accept the monthly money and eat.
"How's that going to happen?" Cheng Mo flatly refused, and said, "How can you let Miss Hua do the work of a slave?" ”
Hua Jin'er smiled beside her and said: "The prime minister has to review and approve the folds every day, and there is no one around to serve tea and water, which is very inconvenient, I am willing to wait in the study and ask the prime minister to be fulfilled." ”
I don't know where she heard that there was no one waiting in Cheng Mo's study, and the little ones could only wait under the corridor, and they felt that it was very inconvenient in their eyes.
Of course, Cheng Mo couldn't agree, and said: "I'll call you two more maidservants, you can play wherever you want, and if you don't have money to withdraw it from the account, just say what I said." ”
Puxiang was taken aback and withdrew it at will! Does Ah Lang know what he's talking about? For Ah Lang's money, Puxiang had no choice but to divert the conversation and said: "Miss Jin'er is as careful as a hair, if she is willing to wait in the study, it is also suitable." Ah Lang, Miss Jin'er follows Ah Lang, and she can also learn some skills to see people and learn some eyebrows, which is very beneficial to her. ”
It's not about letting her be a slave, it's about giving her the opportunity to learn how to behave as a person.
As soon as Puxiang said this, Yue's eyes lit up, her daughter was thirteen years old, and she should say goodbye, but her family is a businessman, and she is not high or low, how difficult it is to say that the door is good, if you follow Cheng Mo's side, maybe you can follow it and be favored by good people.
"This kid is so stubborn, if he has to be trained by the prime minister, it is the ancestor of the Hua family who has accumulated virtue, and please don't refuse the prime minister." Yue saluted. Waiting by the prime minister's side, it is not good to say it.
Cheng Mo thought about it, and it was okay to let Hua Jin'er help in the study. She is illiterate, she will not leak the news, and she has the origin of the shopkeeper of Hua, so she doesn't have to worry about being bought.
"Since Aunt Yue is willing to let her meet the world with me, let her do things in the study." Cheng Mo said.
Hua Jin'er was so happy that she was about to jump, she didn't have to be forced to do needlework by her mother every day in the future, Cheng Mo was approachable and much easier to get along with than her mother.
"Prime Minister Xie." She saluted obediently, and then stood behind Cheng Mo.
Puxiang immediately ordered to go down, and in the future, the wiping and sprinkling in the study will belong to Miss Jin'er, and Elm and Changfeng don't have to do this work anymore. Changfeng was just that, but Elm was ecstatic and smiled from ear to ear.
