Pastoral lucky girl's counterattack

Chapter 37 Embarrassment
However, they still obeyed Madam's order and left in a hurry.They know about Madam's punishment of disobedient servants, just look at the fact that there is not even a young girl in this courtyard now.These mothers-in-law have all heard that those young maids who died on the contract have all been beaten to death, and the girls on the living contract have all been redeemed.The current madam has a violent temper, and if she feels unsatisfactory, she will use these servants to vent her anger. Who would like to stay here.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Qingping was the only one in the courtyard again.She yelled several times, but no one came.In desperation, she had to do her own makeup.When she grew up to do her own makeup, it was so rare that she could count on one finger.So the craftsmanship is definitely not very good.It took her a long time just to comb her hair, and she couldn't reach the level she was satisfied with.Hairstyles in ancient times are inherently complicated, and for a novice combing hair, it is even more difficult.

Yan Qingping fiddled with it for a long time, but in the end he could only do a simple bun, inserted a few jade hairpins casually, put on some make-up casually, and went to see the housekeeper.

In the flower hall, the butler sat in the subordinate's seat and waited for an hour before seeing his master.

And the master in front of him is no longer the brilliance he used to be.Rather sloppy.The bun is slightly messy, the style of the hairpin obviously doesn't match the clothes, and the makeup on the face is also messy.Not only did it not make people more beautiful, but it was vulgar.

But the master is still the master no matter what, the housekeeper still respectfully greeted her.

The housekeeper was originally the housekeeper of the front yard, and also belonged to a foreigner. Of course, he couldn't chat in front of his wife, but went straight to the point.

"Madam, here is the account book for this quarter, please have a look at it, Madam."

Yan Qingping glanced at the tall account book, but didn't intend to read it.

"Steward Zhao, just tell me if you have anything to do. You are the person I brought over from your mother's house. Can I worry about you?"

"Since my wife has said so, then I will say it directly. Now our house has no income. But our expenses are even greater. Now we are facing the end of the mountain.

When the master paid the money last month, there was not much money left in the mansion. At that time, Ma'am, you still sold the two dowry shops to fill the loophole.There are not enough people in the mansion right now, we need to add more people, and after a few days to enjoy the moon feast, the master may come back to reunite with you, you see, all of these are..." The thing the butler didn't finish talking about is money, and now the mansion is completely empty. He has no income. He has been living on his laurels. Now he needs to spend a lot of money, and he can't do anything about it.

It wasn't until then that Yan Qingping became a little sober.She reached out slowly to touch the ledgers.She didn't know how long she hadn't looked at the account book. Before, if she needed money, she could just send a message to shopkeeper Cao.He didn't put his heart into managing the general affairs of the mansion at all.But now...

Yan Qingping still didn't look at the account book, she knew there was no need to look at it. "Tell me, the steward, how much silver do we need to get through this difficulty?"

The housekeeper smacked his lips, and finally told the truth, "Mrs., I calculated carefully. It costs 100 taels to buy a person. If you hold a moon feast, 100 taels is fine for a small one, and about 500 taels for a big one. The master is back. When I leave again, I may have to take some with me to the capital for turnover. There are also some normal expenses in the mansion. If you add it up, it is absolutely impossible to transfer without 1000 taels."

"1000 taels, 1000 taels...why do you want so much?..." Yan Qingping muttered to herself, her hands unconsciously pulled together.Where can she get so much money all of a sudden?snort!It's all the fault of the shopkeeper Cao, who suddenly disappeared, and now she doesn't know where to go to grab the money.It's all the fault of that little bitch, if she hadn't run away, then shopkeeper Cao would have obediently sent the money.

Yan Qingping felt all kinds of resentment in her heart, but the problem she was facing now had to be resolved.She was so anxious that one head and two big.

"How can Housekeeper Chen solve this problem?" Yan Qingping was at a loss, thinking that this housekeeper was also brought here from her natal family, so it should be able to help him to some extent.

Seeing Yan Qingping speaking so politely, Steward Chen also knew that she was at the end of her rope.Otherwise, with her usual temper, how could she be so courteous and corporal.Although I have complaints about her.But she also dared to be angry and dare not speak out, after all, her family was still in the hands of her natal family.Now no matter what, I have to help her think about philosophy.

"Ma'am, we actually have another choice." Steward Chen tried to express his thoughts?
Yan Qingping felt a little impatient when he saw that he said half and kept the other half, "Let's talk about it. Anyway, it's like this now."

"This is what the slave thinks. Now that the master is no longer working in Quanzhou and has been transferred to Kyoto, why don't we all move to Kyoto. Besides, there is also a lady's family in Kyoto, who can help out when there is something, and I will never encounter this kind of situation again. embarrassing situation.

If you move to Kyoto, the houses and shops in Quanzhou can be sold.With this money, it is enough for us to travel to Kyoto. "

Steward Chen spoke out his thoughts, and of course the final decision still depends on Yan Qingping.

"Then follow what you said. Let's all move back. It's really meaningless to stay here. You go down and deal with it." Yan Qingping resumed her superior posture.

"But..." Butler Chen didn't leave directly.Instead, they waited for other instructions from Yan Qingping.But Yan Qingping didn't think of the so-called others at all.

"Why don't you go down?" Yan Qingping glanced at him impatiently.

"What will the old lady and the master's other two aunts do? If the whole family goes to the capital..." Yan Qingping could think of the words Chen Butler hadn't finished speaking.

"The old lady is a native of this place. How could she be willing to leave here? Just send them back to her hometown. The old lady can't be alone in her hometown. Aunt Hua can't do without the old lady, so let her be with her. Be filial to the old lady. As for the child of my aunt, she has been raised by the old lady's side all the time, and I don't want them to be separated. Let's go live in the countryside together."

Hearing Yan Qingping's words, Butler Chen's back couldn't help but shudder.Although I always knew that Yan Qingping was a cold person.When faced with what she had done, it not only made my heart colder.These people are the master's close relatives, and they can be thrown away as soon as they are thrown away.Doesn't staying in the country mean throwing them away to fend for themselves.

Steward Chen didn't say anything else, and went to follow her instructions.

5 days later.The signboard of the Qiu Mansion was taken down, and only then did Mrs. Qiu know that the house she lived in had changed hands.

When she went to her daughter-in-law to reason, she found that her daughter-in-law never gave her this chance and left as early as yesterday.

The old lady Qiu had no choice but to reluctantly leave the house where she had lived for several years with the few remaining wives and concubines left by her son and grandson.

Fortunately, there is a yard in my hometown.Although it is not as luxurious as the mansion in Quanzhou, it was also built when Qiu Shunde was elected.Fortunately, when I left my hometown, I didn't sell that yard.Otherwise, don't know where to settle down at this time?
