The next day, someone from Xu's store came to deliver something.
The delivered bird's nests and shark's fins from Da Hong Pao are enough for a cartload.
The person who brought the things was an elderly shopkeeper. Seeing Xu Wanning, he bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Young Madam."
"Shopkeeper Hu, are these all the best bird's nest and shark fin Dahongpao?" Xu Wanning asked in front of Cui Lu.
The shopkeeper surnamed Hu nodded, "According to your instructions, they are all the best."
Cui Lu also opened the two boxes and inspected them carefully to make sure they were genuine, and then he felt relieved.
Shopkeeper Hu took a list and walked up to Cui Lu, "Master Hou, my boss is tight now. Everything that comes in and out must have a seal and signature, otherwise my boss will be suspicious if I just sell so many goods casually. I don’t have any credentials, and I can’t explain it clearly.”
"Don't worry, Aning told me yesterday that I'll give you a seal."
Cui Lu didn't believe in Xu Wanning, otherwise he wouldn't have come to check the quality of the bird's nest and shark fin with his own eyes. He also believed in Xu Wanning and took the seal with him.
Shopkeeper Hu handed over the order, and Cui Lu glanced at it.
Here is the list and price of this delivery.
This truckload of goods, dear, is worth more than 20,000 taels of silver.
Anyway, there is no need for the Hou Mansion to pay.
Cui Lu directly stamped the seal, asked someone to pick up a few boxes of bird's nests, shark fins and Dahongpao and left.
Xu Wanning grinned slightly.
Yannianyuan.
Du Shi was still sighing.
Aunt Xia hurried over: "Madam, madam, the bird's nest, shark's fin, tea and leaves are all here."
"Did it arrive?" Mrs. Du sat up. Before she could be happy, she got angry again: "It's already delivered. What's the use of telling me."
This A-Xia is really useless. If it were A-Chun, he would never say such things to her.
Aunt Xia touched her nose: "..."
She really can't speak.
Since Achun left, Madam has become a lot more angry.
Mrs. Du was thinking about Grandma Chun.
If Ah Chun was here, there would be no need for her to do the drugging.
It's not that she can't believe Axia, but this person is not very good at talking. He likes to talk nonsense and always says the wrong things, which makes Du Shi worried.
"It would be great if Ah Chun was here." Du Shi said sadly, "I don't know how long it will take for Ah Chun to come back."
Grandma Xia touched her nose, feeling a little cold in her heart.
"Madam, the young master is here." The curtain was opened, and Cui Qingping, with half of his face covered, jumped in and said, "Grandma."
"Oh, my little ancestor." Mrs. Du was particularly fond of Cui Qingping now. She became more and more intimate with him. He glanced at Aunt Xia and said coldly: "You have nothing to do here. You can go down."
Aunt Xia went down.
I feel very uncomfortable.
She returned to her house half-heartedly, not even seeing Aunt Dong standing not far from her.
When Aunt Xia entered the house, she did not go back to her bed. Instead, she came to Aunt Chun's bed opposite and stared at her things.
Ah Chun has been locked up in a cell for so long, but Madam still can't forget her.
"Axia."
Aunt Xia immediately wiped her eyes with her hands, "A-Dong, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Aunt Dong from Qingfeng Yuan. The four maids in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter back then have now become Aunts.
Aunt Dong took Aunt Xia's hand: "I came with the young master. He went to find his wife, so I had time to come find you. I called you outside just now, but you ignored me. What's wrong? Seeing that you are unhappy, is there something on your mind?"
Aunt Xia sighed.
Aunt Dong asked again: "Are you thinking about Achun?"
miss her?
How can it be!
"..." Aunt Xia didn't know whether she should nod or shake her head, "Madam just said something to me again, saying that I'm not as good as Achun in every way." She started crying as she spoke.
Aunt Dong held her hand and comforted her: "Ah Chun is the most stable among the four of us, and Madam likes her the most. This is how we were when we were maids!"
Otherwise she wouldn't be the number one maid in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
"I also want to do my best, but no matter what I do, madam just doesn't like it. No matter what I do, madam will say, if Achun is here, she will do whatever she wants. I will always live in Achun's shadow. .”
"It would be nice if she didn't go back home." Aunt Dong said quietly, and Aunt Xia looked at her suddenly, with surprise and fear in her eyes.
Don't let her go back home?
Aunt Dong touched her nose and smiled: "She didn't do anything serious. It's only a matter of time before she comes out. I'm just talking casually to help you relieve your suffocation. Okay, okay, I'll leave now. I'll wait for you later. The young master is coming out."
Aunt Xia sent the person to the door.
Aunt Dong suddenly said something else: "If you really feel angry, just use her things to express your anger, throw some of her things, throw them away, and your anger will go away. Anyway, a few things If something worthless is lost, it is lost. Right? This is how I treat my man..."
She leaned into Aunt Xia's ear and said: "If my man makes me angry, I will use his undershirt as a rag to wipe dust and shoes, and then throw it into the garbage for him to let the flies After crawling, I felt relieved, so I picked it up, washed it, dried it, and let him continue wearing it."
Aunt Xia was stunned: "Is this okay?"
"Why not?" Aunt Dong said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I am angry and happy. Really, if I help you, you will be in a good mood."
Aunt Winter is gone.
Aunt Xia looked at Aunt Chun's clothes and thought of what she had just said. Then she went to open Aunt Chun's wardrobe, took out several sets of clothes, threw them on the ground and stepped on them. Then he took another bag and packed it, and went to an alley at the back door of the Hou Mansion.
There was a special place for dumping garbage. She threw things in there and let the flies crawl around, then picked them back up, washed them, dried them and put them back.
hehe.
Anyway, Ah Chun couldn't possibly know that the clothes she was wearing were picked up from the trash.
After throwing Aunt Chun's clothes into the garbage pile that was crawling with flies and smelling bad smell, Aunt Xia's mood indeed became better and better.
Aunt Dong is right, women should be more ruthless.
When the flies crawl around again and the smell becomes a little bit worse, she will pick it back up.
Aunt Xia smiled happily in front of the garbage pile, and Aunt Winter hiding behind a pillar was also happy.
"Miss Hongmei, look, can I handle this well?"
Hongmei gave Aunt Dong fifty taels of silver: "Madam said you did a good job, and this is the reward for your hard work."
Fifty taels!
Selling a sister is nothing, money is the most valuable thing to her sister!
The back door of the Hou Mansion.
A group of government officials wearing black embroidered with red thread came over. The leader looked around and took away the discarded baggage.
When Grandma Xia returned home, various things took up her time and energy. When she thought of the things thrown into the trash heap, she quickly ran out to pick them up. Where else could there be...
Forget it, forget it, just throw away a few pieces of clothing.
When she comes back, Madam will definitely make a new one for her.
Aunt Chun has been locked up in the county government cell for several days.
A few days ago, some government officials came to ask her questions.
Aunt Chun also said everything, and no one came after that. Although she was locked in a cell, she lost her freedom in life and didn't eat well.
"I should be able to go out in a few days." Mother Chun muttered: "Madam must be thinking of ways to rescue me."
At this time, someone came from outside the cell: "Come here."
Seeing him pointing at her, Grandma Chun quickly stood up with a smile on her face: "Master, can I go out?"
"Get out?" The people outside sneered: "You are overthinking it! If the county magistrate wants to ask you something, be quick and don't let the county magistrate wait for you."
Aunt Chun thought it was just an ordinary question and hurriedly followed the yamen servant.
