Chapter 44

Sleeping until the sky was bright, the mansion was quieter during the day than at night, and the sound of people sweeping the courtyard was so clear.

It was said that something like this happened to Mr. An, and the old lady kept watch all night.All the people in the second room were locked up, waiting for the old lady to calm down before dealing with it.

As for Grandma Zhu, who was busy dealing with matters in the courtyard, she said that the people who pulled Ye Shui came over, but somehow the carriage was not tied tightly, causing Grandma Zhu to fall down.

Zhu Mama, who has old arms and legs, doesn't need anything else, she just fell and couldn't get up for several days.

The old lady rested originally, but who knew that something like this happened, she braced herself up again.She also knew that the person who saw the doll yesterday must not stay in the mansion.

The old lady braced herself to deal with the matter, but when she got up, she almost fainted.

There is no one who is in charge of the family. The old lady has no choice but to delegate the authority. When she is about to come, she will explain it. During the period when she is raising her body, let Mrs. Li handle the family affairs on her behalf.

Everything is expected.

An Hongshao changed into her clothes. She wore a satin double-breasted jacket neatly, and her smooth face made her look extravagant.

The steps under the feet are windy, which probably means that people are in good spirits on happy occasions.

Now, the whole Anjia is much quieter.

Thinking about yesterday, An Hongye was still aloof and unrestrained, but now she is as gloomy as the weather.

Overnight, Anjia's Tiantian finally became a big house again.

An Hongshao thought that the meals in the big kitchen were delicious enough last time, but she didn't expect that the meals delivered by the kitchen staff this time were more delicate, and the dishes on the plate were like flowers, with extra care.

An Hongshao couldn't help smiling, it seems that if this person has power, everything will go smoothly.

The old lady was so angry that she didn't have to pay her respects in the past few days. An Hongshao was studying at Li's house every day.

After all, it's difficult to be in charge. An Hongshao is blue from the heat, and the big kitchen has been making medicinal meals for days, otherwise she will fall down, but there is indeed some progress.

There is a big difference from being at a loss to being organized now.

The twelfth lunar month came unknowingly, once it entered the twelfth lunar month, it became even busier, and there were more and more things in the house. Fortunately, An Hongshao took over early. If she waited until the twelfth lunar month to take care of the house, she would be in a hurry. Eat a pot of it.

On the morning of the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky was a bit gloomy, and it looked like it was going to snow. According to the custom, the weather was extremely cold to get up to carve ice figures the next morning.

An Hongshao came to Li's place wearing a cloak, and chopped off her feet a few times because of the cold. This winter seems to be colder than usual.

An Hongshao thought, the company would come over as scheduled tomorrow, and the man loved to ride horses for such a long distance, so he must be freezing, waiting to put more stoves in the banquet hall.

The door curtain was raised, and I didn't want this Li family to be someone, a [-]-year-old outsider, standing sideways with his head bowed.

"Hongshao, come here." Mrs. Li looked up, waved at An Hongshao, and then explained to the man, "Of course I will hand over this shop to Hongshao. If there is anything going on in the future, you can just talk to Hongshao." report."

"Young master's family is well." The manager looked discerning, and when he heard what Li said, he saluted An Hongshao immediately.

An Hongshao raised her forehead slightly. Since Mrs. Li spoke calmly, she didn't think much about it. She thought it was just an ordinary routine report. Maybe it was the Chinese New Year, and the people below were coming to hand over the account books.

After sitting down, the other party made it clear.

He is the shopkeeper of the timber shop, and he came here this time because something happened in the shop.Seeing that the New Year is coming, every household is a place where money is used. There is a long-term worker in this shop. He is very diligent on weekdays. He thinks that his family is not good and he is honest.

However, the hemp rope has to be picked and broken. The mother of the Changgong was anxious when she saw that the Changgong was so old and did not marry a wife. A matchmaker happened to come to the door, and the woman was very happy. It gave the matchmaker a lot of benefits. , I also ordered tofu and pork from outside, and waited for the host girl to agree, and then came to see the family's family.

For this matter, the money saved by the long-term workers in the past few years was spent.

Unexpectedly, the other party was actually a liar, and even the matchmaker ran away after taking the money.

The woman was very anxious and seriously ill, and the younger brother in the family had a high fever for the past two days. The long-term worker was penniless and couldn't afford to hire a doctor, so he secretly pawned and sold the things in the shop.

Although it was only a matter of a few taels of silver, everyone was jealous of stealers, so the shopkeeper came to report this early in the morning.

Listening to the shopkeeper's words, she felt pity for the long-term worker, An Hongshao frowned slightly, and then sighed, "It sounds like a poor man."

Hearing what An Hongshao said, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately, "Young Master Mingjian is indeed a poor child."

"It's just." An Hongshao shook her head, "Although it's pitiful, the rules are the rules. There are too many poor people in this world. If everyone goes to pawn the things in the shop as soon as they are pitiful, then my shop can still be opened." up?"

An Hongshao paused before continuing, "The shopkeeper, don't take my words too seriously. What is the purpose of opening the shop? Where is the business? If I only want to do good deeds, I will open a shed to give out porridge. Do you think this is the truth?"

This shop was hired by the Lian family for the An family, and the fact that the shopkeeper was able to take on a heavy responsibility in the Lian family meant that he was capable of doing things.As he said, if he really wanted to hide it, Mrs. Li might not be able to find out. He made a special trip today as a respect for his boss.

But this respect is not full of sincerity.

Listen to these words, they are all words of protection for the long-term worker. As a normal shopkeeper, you can just report the facts, and your personal likes and dislikes must not be mixed in it.

Or, if you really want to be pitiful, you should lower your profile and use his personal position to intercede for the long-term worker.

To be honest, it's not that respectful.

The shopkeeper looked at An Hongshao, a little girl, and thought she was a soft-hearted person, and felt a little contempt in his heart, but now he was so stunned that he couldn't speak, he was shocked.

An Hongshao was only born as a concubine, so she was able to handle things with such prudence. If Mrs. Li had personally intervened, a person who was famous in the capital at that time would probably be able to see what she was thinking at a glance.

The shopkeeper immediately lifted up a corner of the long gown, and knelt straight in front of An Hongshao, "What the young master said is true, I'm a little confused."
