Yijia Yishi

Chapter 335
Wu's heart was so distressed that she immediately ordered Madam Zhao to serve the mung bean soup that she had made early in the morning. She watched Lu Shuyi drink a big bowl of it herself.

"Stay up all night, don't get angry, drink a bowl of mung bean soup to defeat the fire." Wu looked at the account book seriously, and wondered again: "I didn't teach you to keep accounts, how can you know these things?" ?”

Lu Shuyi put down the soup bowl in her hand, and said with a light smile, "It's also fun to watch Mo Ju Dongmei and the others keep their notebooks when I'm free, so I'll follow suit..."

Wu Shi nodded in relief, feeling that her daughter could really start a family.

She can rest assured after getting married in this way.

She smiled gently, looked at the several farms and shops highlighted in the brochure, and said hesitantly: "It's just that these are all in the capital, even if they were given to us, it would be difficult for us to manage them."

Changle Town is more than a day's journey away from the capital, and it is not convenient to go back and forth.

Furthermore, businesses need to be carefully managed to make money. How can such a long distance be carefully managed?
Therefore, Mrs. Wu felt that it was inappropriate for their house to acquire these properties and shops.

So she took a fancy to several properties and shops in Changle Town. One was a spice shop on the east side of the town, and the other was a five-room silk shop on the west side of the town.

"I can see these places are all right. It's very convenient to go to the shop if you want to go to the shop in Surrey..."

However, these two shops are not very profitable, and the location is not good.

Lu Shuyi shook her head, frowned and said: "These two locations are not good. Even if they are close, no matter how carefully we take care of them, the benefits will be minimal. You should consider other places. We are not afraid if the place is far away. A trustworthy shopkeeper will do..."

Mo Ju also said: "Yeah, the location here is too bad, and the income is only a few hundred taels a year. It's better to go elsewhere..."

Mrs. Wu had a hard choice. After reading it for a long time, she had no choice but to put the account book on the kang table and said, "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll let your father take a look at it later. Besides, even if we If I want the land and shops in these areas, the old lady may not agree to me..."

She thought of Master Six.

The sixth master is the heart of the old lady Lu, since these places make money and are all in the capital, the old lady probably gave them all to the sixth master.

Wu Shi felt a little discouraged when she thought of this.

They are all children born to the same parents, but they have to prefer this to that...

But they are going to move out soon, so they won't be upset if they don't see each other in the future.

As soon as she thought about moving, she immediately became interested, and said to Lu Shuyi, "Your father said, we will move out in two days."

Lu Shuyi already knew about going to Liuye Hutong.

In the previous life, the house in Liuye Hutong was given to Lu Shufang as a dowry, and finally became the property of the He family.

This life has become the residence of their second wife.

However, the house in Liuye Hutong is said to be very good, with a good sitting position and a good interior design.

She chuckled and asked, "Then when shall we pack up?"

Move out as soon as you can, it's just so awful living here.

"...Your father will go and have a look. He asked me to think about what kind of furniture to use first, so that I can order a set earlier. Besides, you can get your own room by yourself. Write me a list if you want to decide. I sent someone to do it together.”

Satisfied in her heart and eyes, Wu took a sip of the tea cup and said, "Liuye Hutong is just one street away from Mao'er Hutong. I want to go to your grandmother's house in the future, but it's very close... ..."

The mother and daughter were chatting and laughing, and the third wife suddenly came.

The third wife has all hands and eyes, and she has heard some rumors about what happened these days, but the news is not very accurate.

The third wife is wearing a big red golden beige with a hundred butterflies and flowers on it, a mink shawl on it, a pea green eight-treasure pattern horse-face skirt, her hair is meticulously combed into a bun, and a red gold bat-pattern Ruyi is on her hairpin. As for the hairpin, a pair of emerald green jadeite bracelets were worn on the snow-white wrists. This overall attire is much more luxurious than before.

And the makeup is more refined than before, thin willow-leaf eyebrows, red lips as delicate as roses, with a layer of tender red lipstick on it, and sunflower powder on the cheeks, it is indeed more beautiful than before.

Ever since the matter of the third master Lu raising the outer room last time, the third wife has paid more attention to her appearance, and she has become more gentle towards the third master, for fear that he will run out to raise the outer room again...

Mrs. Wu hurriedly greeted the third wife to take her seat, and at the same time sent someone to serve tea and refreshments.

The third wife smiled and said: "Don't bother, I'm just here to sit and leave in a while."

Lu Shuyi didn't need to guess what she was here for. It was nothing more than the matter of the separation and Lu Shufang's affairs. After all, the Lu family was such a big one that everyone would hear about it.

However, Lu Shufang's matter has been kept under pressure, and she was only said to be ill. Logically speaking, the third wife should not have heard the exact news...

But sooner or later you will know about the separation of the family. The third wife is well informed, and Lu Shuyi is not surprised.

She sat quietly on the side table and listened, but who knew that the third wife turned her gaze to her, and said with a smile: "Young girl has been clamoring that she is going to go to the Cuju competition today, and now she is I am worried that no one will accompany her, so go and accompany her."

This is to drive her away...

Lu Shuyi couldn't help but stand up and said, "Then I'll go with my sixth sister..."

After going out, she didn't go far, but quietly stood under the window with someone and listened.

Zhao Nanny also had no choice but to quietly move a tavern for her, and simply let her sit under the window and listen.

After some courteous greetings, the third wife really mentioned the matter of the separation of the family in a roundabout way, and she said: "I also heard it from a servant woman. I was very surprised at the time, so I went to the old lady's room early in the morning to say hello, and asked the old lady. Ma'am, sure enough, your second room will live separately..."

"...Why are you suddenly going to separate?" The third wife frowned.

Although she had heard that the second room was going to be separated, she didn't know what it was, let alone why.

But the old lady was too tight-lipped, she couldn't find out anything, so she had to come to Mrs. Wu to inquire about the news.

In her opinion, Mrs. Wu is a person who can't lie, and won't refuse others, so if you ask her, she should be able to tell.

The third wife leaned forward and met Wu's eyes.

Mrs. Wu didn't say much, and just said lightly: "It's nothing, the children are all grown up, and it's comfortable to live separately."

She lowered her eyebrows and drank her tea without saying anything else.

The third wife pursed her lips to express her disbelief. She guessed: "It can't be because of the sister-in-law, right? How did I hear that the matter of the seventh girl has something to do with her?"

Wu immediately retorted sternly: "Who are you listening to? It's nothing, Qiyatou was just sick that night, and she passed out in the garden, and only found out in the middle of the night..."

Seeing Mrs. Wu, the third wife was in a hurry, and she couldn't ask other questions, so she could only talk about the separation of the family, and said, "I just heard from the old lady that you are going to move to Liuye Hutong. It’s a lot closer to go back to my mother’s house.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu's expression changed a little, and she said with a light smile: "It's my mother who is considerate of us, so I allocated this house to us, and I am also very satisfied."

The third wife did not speak.

Is this considerate?
It is clear that they are unwilling to give them the most valuable house.

Others don't know, but she knows it clearly. The old lady and the old man still have two big houses in Yizhou. Those houses are four-entry and five-entry mansions, which are much better than those in Liuye Hutong.

It's just that Mrs. Wu is honest and easy to coax. If her mother-in-law gave her such a house, she would not want it.

She glanced at Wu Shi quietly, and saw that she looked very satisfied.

The third wife curled her lips, and if she wanted to say something else, Mrs. Wu refused to say a word.

Lu Shuyi listened to it under the window and laughed slowly. Her mother was not stupid, she knew what to say and what not to say.

This also reduces the chance for the third wife to tell lies.

She smiled and got up and said to Mo Ju, "Let's go to Miss Seven."

A group of people went to find Lu Shufang.

Lu Shufang looked better than yesterday, and Xiaohong was released to serve her again.

Lu Shuyi asked little red Lu Shufang how much she had eaten this morning.

Xiaohong said happily: "Miss Qi has a good appetite, she drank a bowl of red bean porridge and ate half an egg pancake..."

Lu Shufang looked at her with a wry smile and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a fool, I won't seek death again."

In the past two days, it was as if she had been reborn, and she gradually understood many things, who treated her well, who took advantage of her, and who looked down on her, and she reflected on her own shortcomings one by one.

So she took Lu Shuyi's hand and seriously talked about her uncle taking 10 taels of silver from the Lu family and the He family: "I really never thought that my uncle would do this, I always thought They will protect me..."

"...And yet, they used me."

Lu Shufang's eyes were full of hatred. She trusted her uncle An Zhiyuan so much, but she didn't expect him to betray her in private, which made her very upset.

So she wants to get the silver back.

She told Lu Shuyi what she thought, and said: "Since we are going to live in a separate family, if we can get back the 10 taels of silver, it can also be used to subsidize the family's food, right?"

It's rare that Lu Shufang is willing to think about their second wife.

However, this idea is not practical enough.

Lu Shuyi pondered: "Your idea is certainly good, but the money has already been given away, how can you get it back?"

Without even thinking about it, Lu Shufang immediately said, "I'll go back and steal it. I know where my uncle's money is."

Lu Shuyi held her forehead, her face full of helplessness.

She thought that Lu Shufang had already got her brains out, but she was still wrong...

She fixed her eyes and asked Lu Shufang: "Then do you know what will happen if you steal 10 taels of silver?"
