Tong Jia anecdote

<fifty>

On the second day, get up early.

Hong Xiao waited for Tong Jiu to put on her clothes behind the screen, seeing that her eyes were scratched, and her eyes were black and blue, she asked, "Did you have a good rest last night?"

"I don't eat those venison anymore. It's very hairy at night. The old wounds of the disturbance are itchy, and I haven't slept all night." Tong Jiu yawned and shook her head in a state of desperation, regretting that she should be greedy yesterday.

When having breakfast, in the account room in front of Yangzheng Hall, shopkeepers from several stalls brought account accountants to reconcile accounts and receive bonuses.

"Master, Lord Lin Wu brought his wife over to the mansion, saying that he heard that the young master's health is in violation, so he came to say hello." Fu Chami came in from the outside and reported.

This Fifth Master Lin is exactly Ji Lan's eighth uncle's cousin, Fucha Lin.Because he is a five-member family, everyone in the family calls him Shenglin Wuye, who is Su Le's biological father.

A little surprised and impatient, Ji Lan put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said unhappily, "What are you doing here this early in the morning? Don't you think that Yangzhengtang has to reconcile accounts today, which will add to the chaos instead."

So, the two went to the main hall to meet the guests.After exchanging a few pleasantries, the siblings sat down and had tea.

Master Lin Wu sat there without speaking.His daughter-in-law, Bai Shi, opened the mouth first, explaining the purpose of coming, and said, "Yesterday, we heard that someone gave Su Ge'er something unclean, and even gave him medicine, causing him to vomit and diarrhea. I came here in a hurry today. I want to see how the baby is doing."

Hearing what she said, Tong Jiu, who was drinking tea with her head down, raised her eyebrows.Raising her eyes slightly, she looked at Mrs. Bai who was holding a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and Master Lin Wu who was beside her.I saw that Lin Wuye pulled his face and was staring at him in disgust.

Ji Lan turned his head slightly, exchanged glances with Fu Chaqin, and said flatly, "Yesterday, I was too busy to hold a church meeting at the house, so I didn't take good care of him. The child was weak and blew the cool breeze, and drank the medicine." It will be fine after a while, don't worry."

"Sister, what kind of prevarication are you talking about!" Master Lin put down the teacup in dissatisfaction, stared at Tong Jiu, and said, "I don't know who it is, and what's the intention to give the child food and drink, you But don't ask."

He said with a sneer, and said, "Back then, I was also thinking of the bond of flesh and blood between our sister and brother, thinking that my sister was alone and helpless, and after a hundred years, there would not even be a jar-throwing person. I couldn't bear it, so I gave up and left this son as his successor." Came to your big house."

"Yes, since Su Le's five-year-old head came to my knees, I have been indebted to you for so many years." Ji Lan smiled politely.

"I never thought that my sister went out of the customs and brought a son-in-law into the house when she came back." Lin Wuye glanced at Tong Jiu with a frivolous look, and said, "We watched with discerning eyes and reminded some sisters with good words. It’s fine if you eat something unclean, don’t be fooled by that unclean thing, let him do the deeds of murder and wealth, and stay in the dark.”

Ji Lan looked at Tong Jiu, although she didn't say a word, but she tapped her fingers on the coffee table again and again, which proved that she was quite impatient at this moment.

"Okay, I have to reconcile the account ahead, so I have to watch it. Let Sister Qin accompany you to the back to see Su Le, and I won't accompany you." Ji Lan stood up, ready to see off the guests.

"Hey, sister!" Lin Wuye refused to say, "I still have a few things that I haven't clarified."

"Tell me." Ji Lan said, tugging at the folds of the skirt.

"Now, since you already have a husband-in-law, you will definitely have children in the future. But let's talk about it first. No matter how many children you have, Su Le is the blood of our Fucha family, yes Your eldest son in the house will definitely inherit our Yangzhengtang family business in the future." Fifth Master Lin also stood up and said clearly.

"I've never seen you be such a father." Tong Jiu got up, looked at Lin Wuye and his wife again, and said contemptuously, "I keep saying that I'm here to see the child, but I keep my mouth shut. Don't you How about selling your son?"

"Who are you talking about selling your son?" Fifth Master Lin immediately became angry when he heard it, and said without giving in, "That's better than you, a bastard who sells his body for soft food!"

Tong Jiu couldn't bear it long ago. Hearing him humiliate herself so rudely, she cursed "Grandma!" and stepped forward to grab Lin Wu's collar.

"Okay!" Ji Lan waved his hand, and the celadon tea bowl on the table was smashed to pieces, only to hear Ji Lan sternly said, "Look at what you all look like?" Then he said to Tong Jiu, "Go out first. "

Tong Jiu pushed Lin Wu away, pointed at Lin Wu generously, and said, "Grandson, aren't you afraid that I will harm your son? You'd better take him back now. Our house is considered extinct. Yang Zhengtang It's not cheap for you either!"

"Han Luqi!" Ji Lan listened to Tong Jiu's words, and she drank loudly.

After glancing at Ji Lan who was glaring at him, Tong Jiu walked out of the main hall with a flick of his sleeves.After coming out, he called to the main room at the back, "Hongxiao, Jing Fu, pick up the things, let's go."

"Jiuye, what are you doing like an outsider?" Seeing Tong Jiu who was about to leave, Fu Chaqin who chased her hurriedly stopped her and advised, "Don't leave, it's such a cold day, Where are you going?"

"You don't have to stop me." Tong Jiu got on the horse, drove the horse back and forth twice, pointed at the main hall with the whip, and said, "You don't need her to call me out. I just want to leave."

Until leaving the Yangzheng Hall, with a few attendants and a few horses, Hong Xiao sat in the car.The groom driving the carriage asked, "Master, where shall we go?"

Only then did Tong Jiu pull the rein and slow down the speed of walking. While walking, he looked at the New Year's scene on the street because of the festive lights and festoons everywhere in recent years, feeling sad in his heart.

He just kept walking forward, and said to Hong Xiao who was in the car with a sense of loss, "Sister Hong, I forgot, the capital didn't reach Zhengchang, and we are homeless."

Hong Xiao lifted the curtain of the car to see where she was now, but she vaguely saw that the archway in front of her was almost to the former Tong Jia Mansion.Looking at Tong Jiu, who is now in a daze on a horse, she feels sad in her heart, and feels more and more sorry for the dead master and madam.

He said forcefully, "Why are you homeless? After leaving Fucha Mansion, don't tell me you don't have a home anymore."

After speaking, he patted the car body and said, "Stop the car." Everyone was puzzled, and Hong Xiao took out a stack of bank notes from the package while talking, and got out of the car.

The master said to Tong Jiu, "Let's rent a yard inside and settle down first. Looking back, you can see that the shop is good. Take the money and go and buy one. Now we have enough money, so we have to squeeze together with her for whatever we do. Listen Those individuals gobble their tongues and block their hearts."

At the end of the year, the business of the inn was much quieter than usual.The shopkeeper saw the group of people who came in suddenly, even the accompanying servants and maids were dressed in silk and satin, and knew that it was a nobleman, so he hurried forward to greet him.

Tong Jiu was not in the mood either, so he did whatever Hong Xiao said, and chose a courtyard to live in first.

"I'm also to blame for this matter." Seeing that the room was clean and tidy, Hong Xiao remade the bed with her own hands, and said, "I saw that you didn't do any work these days, but you just blindly hang around with her behind. Thinking that you are just recovering from a serious injury, and it’s the New Year’s Eve, so I didn’t mention it.”

"Just say what you want." Tong Jiu snuggled up on the bed and said listlessly.

Hongxiao opened the package, took the clothes from inside, and said, "In the daytime, she is doing her business, and you are doing your business. You are with her all day, what are you doing? You don't plan for yourself. "

"Yes, she is a noble and clear person who treats money like dung, which is in line with your temper. But you are so willing to listen, and their family will poke your spine with a simple sentence." Hongxiao said unfairly, "Besides, we insist on strength." The same thing is not missing, why let them arrange it?"

Seeing her fiddling with the jade lock brand on her neck, Hongxiao reminded her, "What? I ran out angrily today, knowing that I had nowhere to go. I didn't want you to distract her, but I asked you to give more to everything. Leave a way out for yourself."

Tong Jiu didn't sleep well last night, lying on the bed, fell asleep dully.

Seeing that she was asleep, Hong Xiao went outside to find Shen Jianping and said, "There are so many street runners in front of you, Master Jiu brought you to Beijing alone, which shows how much she attaches importance to you. You can't let her down. On weekdays, If you persuade her to go out for a walk and look at the market conditions, her horizons and mood will naturally be broadened."

"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Jianping followed Tong Jiu these days, knowing that Hongxiao is a maid on the surface, but can be the master of most of Zhengchang in the interior, so he responded with great respect.

"In a while, when Master Jiu wakes up, you call her out and accompany her around. It's not a long-term solution for us to live here all the time. Let's see if there is a suitable appearance, and we can exchange one earlier. That's it. It's serious." Hong Xiao also thought that Tong Jiu would be distracted, and spend more time on outside affairs.

Tong Jiu didn't wake up until noon, and heard that Shen Jianping came to find him to go to the street for a walk. There was nothing left and right, so he followed.

"Boss, you should take care of the raising of the Zhengtang in the future. We can't take care of our own business. Although it is true that the wife is yours, the business of raising the Zhengtang is still tied to the Fucha family. The profits of other landlords. Unlike our Huizhengsheng, with your shares in it, it is natural to say what you say." The two dispersed for a while, and found a restaurant to eat.

Shen Jianping drank a few glasses of warm wine, seeing that Tong Jiu was still not in high spirits, he didn't seem to be outside, and said straight.

"I don't take the big head of Huizhengsheng's share, and it doesn't count if I say the same." Tong Jiu held the nuts in his hand, blew a puff, blew off the outer skin of the nuts, squeezed two nuts and put them in his mouth chewing.

"What's so difficult about this, then this time Huizhengsheng will open the main stall in the capital, and we'll have a big shot, so it's up to the time." Shen Jianping filled up the wine for her.

"But for a while, I still can't come up with so much silver for the exchange house to do exchange for you." Tong Jiu drank the wine and said a little discouraged.Compared with Yang Zhengtang's current financial resources, there is still a gap.

Shen Jianping bit the tip of his chopsticks, thought for a while, and said, "Not all the exchange in Baotou Mansion uses our own bank, so in the capital city, we can also get a few powerful ministers and deposit the money in the same way as on the grassland." Our bank."

"The powerful prime minister in the capital—" After hearing him finish speaking, Tong Jiu ate up the peanuts in his hand and muttered.Patting the peanut skin on his hand, a person flashed in his mind, and a gully gradually appeared in his heart.
