Chapter 680
The second lady was annoyed that she didn't know what to do, and she said with a smile on her face: "If that's the case, then forget it! When you feel inconvenient, just say it, it's not too late to ask someone! Hongmei, Honglian, that's it! A few girls, I think they are serving them well, so you can take them away together!"
Even Fangzhou thought about it and felt that it would be bad not to bring anyone alone, so it would not be decent for others to see it, so he nodded and smiled: "Then thank you second aunt! It's just that our yard is small, and we can't live in too many people. , Hongmei and Honglian stay, I will bring Hongyu and Hongxiu!"
The second lady had to grit her teeth and answer.
Soon the day of moving came, and the second lady ordered Zou to bring housekeeper Zhou, Mammy Zhou and a few servants over to help.
Even Fangzhou did not refuse, and smiled politely.
Seeing that her mother-in-law only cared about her eldest daughter-in-law and forgot herself, Mrs. Qi felt very unhappy. This was a good opportunity to please, how could she be willing to miss it?
Ignoring the ugly face of the second lady, she just smiled and went to help, saying, "One more person will give you more strength!"
Lian Fangzhou is too lazy to care about the intrigue between them, she can go if she wants to!
In fact, to help, there is nothing they need to help.
Luo Guang, Chun Xing, Li Siwangwu, etc. had already tidy and arranged the house properly.
Chun Xing was careful and thoughtful about everything, Luo Guang and dozens of personal soldiers executed well, and the resettlement was very smooth and fast.
Even in the yard, there are more than a dozen pots of roses, hibiscus and other flowers and trees that Lian Fangzhou likes.
In that mansion, their luggage was simple, just some clothes and a few books by Li Fu, and together with Miss Qin's master and servant, Hongyu Hongxiu, they couldn't fit a carriage.
When they got to that courtyard, Steward Zhou and Mammy Zhou couldn't get to the backyard at all, let alone the servants they brought. They only walked around in the front yard and couldn't get in anywhere, so they had to sit down and drink tea to pass the time.
Mrs. Zou and Mrs. Qi went into the backyard and saw that the table and chairs and furniture in the room were half-new. The materials were high-quality but not precious wood, and the furnishings were ordinary. They secretly pouted.
Everyone's mouth is full of praise, and they praise "tidy"!
Mrs. Zou glanced at Mrs. Qi, a little annoyed that she followed, and she had to say something she didn't want to say in front of Mrs. Qi.
"Prices in Beijing are expensive. You need money to buy a piece of firewood! The dishes that are slightly better are not cheap! I wonder if the third siblings have any concerns?" Zou asked with a smile.
Qi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "No! You don't have to be careful when you live at home! Third brother and sister, you are new here, and you don't know many ways. If you don't pay attention, you will inevitably suffer a loss!"
When Mr. Zou heard the dissatisfaction, Mrs. Qi gave him a blank look, but she was helpless and wished she could stop her mouth.
Can't you just speak softly and take it step by step? You said it so eagerly and blatantly, for fear that people would not know your purpose!
Lian Fangzhou suddenly realized: This is to touch his own family! Too greedy enough!
When Li Fu lived in their house, he didn't eat and drink for free. Now that the two of them moved out, the manor didn't tell them half of the money. Instead, they asked about their family background!
Even if there are hundreds of thousands, what is there to do with them?
Lian Fangzhou said with a smile: "Don't talk about the second sister-in-law and the fourth siblings, I almost forgot about this! It cost a lot of money to rent this house, and after adding a lot of furniture, it is even more insufficient! Otherwise, the second sister-in-law and the fourth Brother and sister go back and tell Second Aunt, first lend us a thousand taels of eight hundred taels? When your husband's salary is down and your hands are loose, I will pay it back!"
Zou and Qi looked at each other, but Lian Fangzhou would borrow money as soon as he opened his mouth! Block their next words!
Borrowing money is enough, and it seems like a very honorable thing to say so openly.
Qi Shi hurriedly smiled and said: "Qian'er eight hundred taels! Where do we have so many! Third sister-in-law is really joking!"
"I'm not joking, I'm telling the truth!" Lian Fangzhou said seriously: "Really not? Does the fourth sibling really know the accounts of the house?"
Qi Shi was taken aback, don't say she really doesn't know, she can't say it even if she is clear!
She doesn't care about the house, and she still knows the accounts of the mansion. What is she trying to do? The second lady knew that she could spare her!
There's a second sister-in-law standing beside him! If you tell her to go back and complain about it—
She is not her nephew's daughter-in-law, but her daughter-in-law! The mother-in-law wants to rectify the daughter-in-law, it is only right and proper!
Qi almost jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and quickly confessed: "Sister-in-law, stop joking! How could I know the accounts of the house! I, uh, I just said it casually! If you If you want to know, you can only find out by asking your mother-in-law!"
Lian Fangzhou laughed secretly in his heart, and said "Oh" with a sudden realization on his face, and said with a smile: "That's right, it's time to ask Second Aunt! Oh, this is an important matter, so we can't delay it! I'll ask Second Aunt now. Go, second sister-in-law, fourth brother and sister, come with me!"
Seeing that she didn't continue to entangle herself with that question, Mrs. Qi's heart slowly fell back to her heart. How could she still have the heart to ask her some questions? I can't wait to get out of here!
Hearing this, he hurriedly smiled and said, "That's fine! I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, and I was about to go back!"
Zou obviously couldn't keep asking any more, so he had to nod his head.
Lian Fangzhou smiled, and the three concubines went to which house.
The second lady was secretly surprised when Lian Fangzhou went and returned, and couldn't help but looked at Mrs Zou. Mrs Zou didn't know how to respond, so she simply pretended not to see it.
Lian Fangzhou was not polite to the second lady, as always, he was a real person. After greeting, he smiled and said, "Thanks to the second sister-in-law and the fourth younger brother and sister for reminding me that living in Beijing costs a lot, and after hiring a house, there is not much left. I've got some money! Ask Second Aunt to lend me a thousand taels to deal with the emergency! When my husband's salary comes down and his hands are loose, I will return it to Second Aunt!"
The second lady almost lost her breath!
These two things that don't grow! It's good to tell them to go to the clichés, the words don't come out, on the contrary, people are corrupted!
The second lady was extremely annoyed. As far as she thought, how much knowledge could Lian Fangzhou have? Country people only spend one or two taels of silver a year. If these two idiots didn't mention it, she wouldn't dare to ask for a thousand dollars and eight hundred taels!
In her eyes, dozens of taels are afraid of the sky!
What's loose and then pay it back? You can't believe this kind of words!
This silver must never be returned.
But she can't help it!
Lian Fangzhou is easy to deal with, but Li Fu is not stupid. If you want eight hundred taels, how could she not give it!
The second lady was bleeding in her heart, with a kind smile on her face, she laughed again and again: "It's really my fault, I didn't think about it! You have to live, but don't spend money! We have a lot of expenses, and we don't save a lot of money, but I can't help but help! Mammy Jin, go to the account and pay two thousand taels!"
Mammy Jin understood and smiled: "Old slave, I'll go take a look, I don't know if there is any on the account!"
