Flowers are expensive

Chapter 173 Moving Out of the Grange 2
Wang Xincheng looked at Li Hua, and said in a slightly regretful tone: "Li Hua, you didn't seem to be so calculating before."

Lihua smiled and said, "Master, it's not a good thing to recall the past again. People should look forward, and not indulge in those things that were unclear and cut off in the past. However, if the young master is in love, others will interfere. No, others have to go forward at their own pace, and I don't have time to accompany you to live in the memories of the past with the young master. You said, right?"

Wang Xincheng could tell what Lihua meant, not about the contract, but about him and Hongling.He was a little embarrassed, swallowed a mouthful of cold saliva, and said with a few self-deprecating smiles on his face: "Yeah, everyone is living forward, and only fools live in memories. Lihua, you are right, just do what you said." Do what you say!"

"Sister!" Wei shouted in surprise, "Are you crazy?" "Don't talk about it, just do as Qin Lihua said. Wang's family bought a girl for only 20 20 taels, so let's count as [-] taels. "

"Sister, this is a loss! Those three girls are worth 500 taels in total, are you going to redeem them for 60 taels now?" Wang Xincheng turned his face away and said, "Do as I say. "

"Wait!" Yuan Yin, who had been sitting silently, said, "There are still two people."

"There are two more people?" Wei asked in surprise and anger, "You guys are really making progress! Aside from bringing Hong Ling and Huang Ying, are you planning to redeem the entire village?"

"Only two people, Cao Haitang and Deng Kailuo," Li Hua said with a smile, holding up two fingers, "Since they have already opened grace, don't you mind redeeming two more people? Your old lady will live a long life!"

"Qin Lihua, stop coaxing people!" Wei Shi blurted out.

"Oh," Lihua raised her eyebrows and smiled, "So doing meritorious deeds to protect longevity is to deceive people? Young Madam, then you are wrong, how can you deceive the elderly? If there is no filial piety, there is no filial piety. Why bother?" Pretending? The old man knows this, how heartbroken he should be!"

"You..." Wei Shi was so angry at Li Hua's eloquence that he had nothing to say! "Young Madam, don't get angry. After all, Zhuangzi is so big, are you afraid that he won't be able to buy a servant?"

Wei glared at Lihua angrily, then turned to look at Wang Xincheng and asked, "Sir, don't you think they are going too far? If you really redeem them, who will come later! You can't just agree Already!"

Yuan Yin got up suddenly.Both Wei Shi and Wang Xincheng were stunned for a moment, and then Wei Shi sneered: "You still have self-knowledge! Do you really think that you can blackmail us with a little effort? I'll settle the matter with you later on about Qiushui! Now hurry up and pay the money. Take the contract!"

"Pear Blossom," Yuan Yin looked down at Li Blossom and said, "There's no rush now, wait for the Wang Mansion to collapse and then redeem it."

Not to mention Wang Xinsheng and the Wei family, even Lihua was taken aback: "Ah? How did you know that the Wang family would be crossed?"

Wei Shi also yelled angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who said that Wang's mansion will be overthrown?"

"No, what are you doing hiding here?" Yuan Yin said in a cold tone, "I heard that only Beijing officials who are about to lose their families are anxious to hide things in their hometowns, wanting to leave a root."

Wang Xincheng changed his face, slammed the table, got up and looked at Yuan Yin.Yuan Yin said expressionlessly: "Master Wang has been an official in Beijing for many years, so he must have enemies. As the saying goes, when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter..."

"Needless to say!" Wang Xincheng clenched his hand on the table into a fist instantly, and glared at Yuan Yin angrily, "Didn't you just go out and be a soldier for a few years? Don't think you are a capable person! Cao Haitang and Deng I will redeem Cairo for you, but you'd better remember clearly, if you say such rude words in the future, I won't let you off easily!"

Yuan Yin bowed his head and said to Lihua: "I'll wait for you outside, and I'll come out after I get the contract." He ignored Wang Xincheng's anger, turned and left the hall.Lihua shrugged and said to Wang Xincheng: "Sorry, young master, my man is not very polite, please forgive me!"

"It's not that he's not polite," Wang Xincheng said angrily, "It's completely over the top! Lihua, why did you follow such a person? Your vision seems to have really deteriorated in this place!"

Lihua counted the silver from the purse and asked with a smile: "Did I have a good eye in the past? By the way, young master, how much are Cao Haitang and Deng Kailuo worth?" Said: "One person six taels!"

"Oh, after calculating it like this, I should pay you 96 taels, right?" Lihua took out a 100 taels of silver bill and handed it over with a smile, "Please trouble Madam, give me [-] taels of change."

Wei took the banknote disdainfully, glanced at it and said, "You want change for four taels of silver? Isn't it filthy rich?" Lihua said with a smile as usual: "I plan to go back to the county and throw it to the beggars on the roadside." , My money has to be spent responsibly, and I can’t just be cheap or someone who shouldn’t be cheap. Besides, is Wang’s house still short of my four taels of silver? The master bought a few less girls, so I saved it!”

Biting his lower lip, Wei Shi grabbed the purse in Caiyin's hand, took out four taels of silver and slapped it on the table, saying, "Take the silver and go! There is no room for you in the village anymore." Lihua smiled and said Putting the money into the purse, he unhurriedly looked at the contracts to see if there were any mistakes, his movements were leisurely, his smile satisfied, and he couldn't help humming Zhang Huimei's "Sisters" while watching it. Wei Shi was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes.

After finally waiting for her to finish reading, she put it in the small cloth bag with satisfaction, waved and smiled at Wei Shi and Wang Xincheng, and said, "Eldest young master, young lady, farewell! We will move out today, and we must not stay for an hour longer! Play here slowly, people in the country are a bit vulgar, but the air is fresh and the scenery is beautiful! You guys should treat it as a honeymoon! Bye!"

Lihua made a cute goodbye gesture, left the hall with a smile on her face, and went out to find her Yuan Yin.

"What? Bye?" Wei patted the table, pointed at her lively back and said angrily, "Where is this scolding?" Caiyin shook her head innocently and said, "I don't know, Young Madam! "

"Really! I've never been so irritating before!" Wei was so angry that he couldn't swallow the tea, he picked it up and put it back.She looked up at Wang Xincheng who was still standing, and asked in a displeased tone, "Sir, are you so afraid of that Xie Manting?"

Wang Xinsheng lowered his head and glared at her and said, "Qiu Shui is ignorant, are you ignorant too? You just think that we came here to show off our prestige? Dad doesn't know if he's in the capital. Do you think I'm in the mood to be here with a few people in the countryside? Is it a matter of people fighting for a contract of sale?"

Wei Shi didn't dare to say anything more, because Wang Xinsheng was really angry.Wang Xincheng seldom gets angry, only two or three times in her memory.

After Wang Xincheng shook his sleeves and left, Mrs. Wei called Mrs. Cao and said, "Those people will move out in a while, you'd better watch closely, and don't ask people to move things that shouldn't be moved. Otherwise, go back and check the accounts, sir. It’s up to you to take care of everything that shouldn’t be missed!”

Mrs. Cao nodded and said: "Your servant understands! By the way, Young Madam, what food are you preparing for Miss San for lunch? She overturned the porridge and side dishes prepared for her this morning, and it seems that they are not to my liking!"

Wei rolled his eyes and said with a sneer, "What suits her taste here? Don't talk about her, even I can't eat it anymore! Tell Ma Liu to hire a decent cook. Don't make every meal as hard to swallow as pig food!"

Mrs. Cao lowered her head, bit her lower lip resentfully and said, "Yes, Young Madam!"

Wei shi lazily supported Caiyin's hand and stood up, "Go down if you have nothing to do, I have to go back and catch up on the cage sleep! Sleeping on that bed is really annoying, I haven't slept well for two nights!" She finished slapping He yawned and asked Caiyin to help him back to the backyard.

Cao Shi waited for the two of them to walk away, then raised her head and gouged out Wei Shi's back, and rushed back to the kitchen angrily.As soon as she entered the door, she saw Sister-in-law Xiao and Third Aunt Dong hugging each other and muttering something, so she said angrily: "If you have time to gossip about others, why not think about how to cook better!" Sister-in-law Xiao Quickly asked: "What did the young lady say again?"

Mrs. Cao put her hand on the stove, snorted twice and said, "What else can I say? Could it be a nice word? She said that all you cook is pig food, for pigs to eat!"

"Hey, hello," said Mrs. Xiao with an aggrieved face, "this young lady is really difficult to serve! Usually, when the old lady comes back, she also eats the meals I cook, but I have never heard those two complaining so much! Pig food? Then what we eat is worse than pig food!"

"She is the young lady, what can you do? Do you dare to scold her?" Cao yelled at Mrs. Xiao angrily, venting all the anger that was pent up in her stomach just now.

Sister Xiao pursed her lips and said, "Then I can't do this job, I can only make pig food to feed others."

"I'm going to invite a good cook outside, how can I use you?" Mrs. Cao slammed the palm-leaf fan in Aunt Dong's hand twice and said, "I don't know how long these three masters will stay. ! I can't take it anymore if I torture people like this again!"

Third Aunt Dong sighed softly, and said in an envious tone: "Oh! Yutong and the others are lucky! They moved out immediately, and they will not live in this village in the future. I feel a little sad when I think about it. What!" Mrs. Cao glanced at Third Aunt Dong and asked, "Why are you so sad? Do you want to follow them?"

Third Aunt Dong said: "Who doesn't want to redeem their body and go back home? It's okay to be a bit tired from work, but now there are three more masters to serve, maybe one day the stick will hit you! It's been a tough day."

Sister-in-law Xiao answered, "Isn't it? It's good for them, they moved away in one go. It won't be their turn to be scolded and sticked in the future! Sigh... It's so different!"

"Why are you sighing?" Mrs. Cao patted the palm-leaf fan and scolded the two on the stove, "You'd better keep your spirits up, and keep your gossips in check, and be careful if the young lady hears the trick! Someone else moved away. You haven’t moved out for other people’s affairs! The cook hasn’t been invited yet, you still have to make the pig food for these few days, hurry up!”

After leaving the kitchen, Cao's heart was also very unhappy.Third Aunt Dong was right, who wouldn't want to redeem themselves and move back in?My husband has a deed of sale to the manor, so I have to live here for the rest of my life, what can I do?

When he was about to reach the backyard, Mrs. Cao heard a burst of giggling.Looking up, I saw Huang Ying, Gong Shi, Hong Ling and Li Hua shuttled among several people's houses, helping each other to pack things!Mrs. Gong stood at her door with a bright smile and said to Huangying's house opposite, "Oh, I don't know if I don't clean it up. After I cleaned it up, I realized that such a small room can hold a lot of things! I haven't been married to Zhuangshang for long. Clothes have two burdens!"

Huang Ying said with a smile while splashing water: "Then you are the one who made it for your son! Don't worry, take it slowly, it's still early before noon!"

"By the way, I forgot something!" Mrs. Gong stopped, walked to the yard with a smile and shouted to Lihua and Hongling, "Just now our family Cairo said, come to our house for lunch! He has already gone back and told my parents, you don’t have to be polite! Otherwise, in such a hot day, if there is too much food and no one eats it, it will be a waste of food!"

Lihua was helping her pack her clothes in Hongling's room, and said to the door: "Don't worry, I won't be polite! I heard that Yutao is good at cooking, this time I have to give it a try!"
