Mu Qingyun smiled: "If Sister Guo has any concerns, then leave a letter and my mother-in-law and I will bring it to Mr. Zhang."
"If sister wants to see the fun, why not come with us?"
She directly called "Sister Guo."
Guo Ying is only seventeen this year, only a little older than Mu Qingyun. If she hadn't become Zhang Qing's concubine by accident, she wouldn't be just a sister.
"Since the young lady and madam are going together, I have nothing to worry about."
Guo Ying's face was shining.
She is really not afraid.
This is Zhuo Yanfei’s disciple!
Who is Zhuo Yanfei? The only time Guo Ying saw Zhuo Yanfei was opposite their theater troupe.
It is said that there is a big shot from the capital. It seems that the other party's uncle is some kind of imperial censor. Anyway, he is a close official of the emperor, and he is very domineering and arrogant.
The other party was speechless in the street, trampled on the vendors' goods and showed off his power. One of Zhuo Yanfei's young disciples saw him and stopped him.
As a result, the boy got angry and ordered the guards around him to beat and hurt the child, and also laughed and insulted him.
When Zhuo Yanfei got the news, he didn't even want to wait for a moment, let alone taking revenge overnight. He immediately rode up and beat the guards and the young master into pig heads.
I didn't know where to find out a bunch of accusations, and brought the young master to the Yamen to question him.
In the end, he was put in chains for three days and paraded through the streets.
Guo Ying witnessed that scene with her own eyes. After Zhuo Yanfei beat the people, she stood on the street and asked the old lady selling tea for a bowl of crude tea. After drinking the whole bowl of tea, she dragged a series of people with her and flew away. go.
She was so excited that her heart almost jumped out of her chest, and she was so envious that she couldn't help but think that if she had been more lucky and had not joined the theater troupe, but had the opportunity to practice martial arts and become a disciple of Master Zhuo, then she would never have to do it in her life. Worry about being bullied.
At this moment, Zhuo Yanfei's beloved disciple invited her to do something big, which she yearned for and was only excited.
The Ming Dynasty completely banned human trafficking starting more than 70 years ago.
Nowadays, the so-called buying and selling in private is just an established habit, and the servants are also afraid of the master's power.
Really speaking, there is no such thing as selling yourself into slavery.
Guo Ying turned to Sun Yuzhi just to avoid disaster, and Sun Yuzhi gave her a symbolic two taels of silver.
The deed she signed was also an employment document, and she didn't even recognize it.
In the early years, there were more cases of recognizing adopted daughters. Later, when the imperial court implemented regulations and scholars wanted to show their dignity, it seemed that few people kept slaves and adopted concubines.
At that time, Yue Ling had been singing in Jiangnan for more than a year and had accumulated ten miles of fame. Although Guo Ying was not as famous as her, her days of singing were not as short as hers, and she was very beautiful. She only had three hundred taels of silver on hand.
In the bank outside, she also deposited five hundred taels.
In a village east of Yuncheng, she also secretly bought more than ten acres of mountain land and asked her trusted godbrother to look after it.
She deliberately didn't buy these mountains and fields that were too good, and she didn't intend to make any publicity about them. She just wanted to have some family assets to support her if she were to become destitute one day, so that she wouldn't be displaced.
Her total wealth is no less than that of the entire Zhang family!
Now that Mu Qingyun said he wanted to be a backer, Guo Ying immediately switched camps and quickly entered the role, hinting to Mu Qingyun: Miss, do you need me to scold Zhang Qing? ….
Then he said to Yue Ling: "Sister, you are a very good person, you must not be implicated by that guy."
All in all, Zhang Qing is really not good now. He is neither as beautiful nor as young as before. Sister, you are so good, don't be embarrassed. Wouldn't it be nice to kick him out and replace him with a younger one?
Yue Ling: "..."
Mu Qingyun took Yue Ling and Guo Ying, and Shi Shiran to the study.
Along the way, I met many maids, servants, and boys. Looking at their posture, it seemed that the Zhang family had returned to its former glory.
Zhang Qing was entertaining guests in his study at this time.
The long table was filled with tea and famous wines, and on the left and right were his familiar scholar friends.
The two young masters, Sun Yuzhi and Zhou Pingbo, were sitting
Top position.
The scholars talked and laughed, praised Sun Yuzhi and Zhou Pingbo without any trace of their words, and were also very polite to Zhang Qing.
Zhang Qing was so ambitious that he couldn't even close the house.
When Mu Qingyun entered, he heard a thin scholar next to him, complimenting him with a smile: "This calligraphy by Mr. Zhang is very powerful, with iron hooks and silver hooks. It's really good calligraphy."
Zhang Qing burst out laughing: "Brother Xian, you're welcome, I'm still far from it."
Yue Ling sneered: Now I have forgotten the time when I forgot to write when I picked up my pen, scratched my head and scratched my head, and I had to secretly hand over a note to save the situation.
Zhang Qing looked up and saw Mu Qingyun and Yue Ling. He stopped talking and frowned.
When he saw Aunt Guo standing behind them with a plain look and low eyebrows, her expression softened a little: "Why are Ying'er here?"
Guo Ying raised her head slightly and smiled at him, but did not speak.
Zhang Qing glanced at Yue Ling coldly and said angrily: "You don't do anything serious on weekdays. I leave Rongrong and Xiuxiu to you. Look, how do you take care of them!"
"Since you can't serve your parents-in-law and take care of your children, naturally you don't need to be in charge of this family. I asked you to give the key to the warehouse to Ying'er. You can just give it. How dare you be dissatisfied?"
"Ying'er, since you came into my home, you have been gentle and virtuous, and you can handle accounts well. From now on, you will take care of the details of the house."
Zhang Qing said solemnly.
Yue Ling and Guo Ying blinked and looked at him silently. Mu Qingyun shook the key and chuckled.
Zhang Qing was immediately displeased, but he still wanted to save some face for his daughter in front of a crowd of guests.
Although this daughter's status in his heart was not as high as that of Xiu Xiu, not even as high as Rongrong, she was still his flesh and blood, and in front of two young nobles, he could not let his daughter be too embarrassed.
"You girl, you don't want to stay in the house. What are you going to do in the front? Give the key to your aunt and go back to the house quickly."
Mu Qingyun smiled: "I can't give the key to Aunt Guo. I'll leave it to you later. Don't worry."
As she spoke, she took out the account books and Yue Ling's dowry list for many years and put them on the desk.
"Master, let's take a look at these accounts first. Are they still clear and clear?"
Zhang Qing said impatiently: "Why are you so ignorant? How can you let your father take care of such trivial matters at home?"
"Let Ying'er go and see it."
Sun Yuzhi's face froze and she lowered her head suddenly.
Zhou Pingbo's mood was much more stable than his. He had never offended the lady, but he could not help but raise his glass to cover his face.
The two brothers unanimously admired Zhang Qing.
Although she is a biological daughter, she is the kind of daughter who can slap her head away with a slap. Even if she becomes a father and gives orders with a straight face like Zhang Qing, won't she have nightmares at night?
Zhou Pingbo believed that he had no grievances with Mu Qingyun, but it could be seen that his heart was still tight when he saw her, and he did not dare to say more.
Su Yuzhi was even more troubled. She wished that there was a crack in the ground right now so that he could get in and take refuge.
Mu Qingyun chuckled and motioned for Guo Ying to step forward: "Then please read it, sister."
Guo Ying understood the idea, moved over with a light step, and bowed to Zhang Qing politely first.
Zhang Qing's mood suddenly softened, and although he didn't show it on his face, he had a pleasant look on his face.
Firstly, the beauty is very pleasant, and secondly, she is a beautiful maid given by Mr. Sun. For the sake of Mr. Sun, she must be treated more kindly. .
