One Hundred and Twenty-Two: Amazing, My Baby (1)
There are not many masters in Liu's Mansion, except for Liu She, Mrs. Stephan, Mrs. Die and Mr. Erlang, there are only two concubines who are bored in the room all the year round and their sons and daughters, who will never appear in front of people all year round. several times.
The masters are mild-tempered and will not deliberately make work difficult for the servants. In addition to the rules and regulations left by the late wife, the division of labor between the upper and lower levels is clear, so as long as the servants of the Liu residence complete their duties, they will still have a lot of free time in a day. rest time.
Tong Sanniang was going to the embroidery workshop to buy a batch of new embroidery threads, when she passed by the corner gate, she saw a few people whispering.
"What do you think happened to Cangzhou Meng County?"
The newly-appointed Liu Mansion Purchasing Manager and a few people dressed as commoners were talking in a low voice at the corner gate, and she happened to hear it all.
The steward was a little annoyed at first, but when he saw that the other party was Tong Sanniang who served in the main courtyard, he couldn't help but put on a flattering smile.
Clasping hands together, "Aunt Tong."
Tong Sanniang is twenty-one-year-old and unmarried. According to the laws of Dongqing, she should pay an extra tax. Her brother and sister-in-law felt ashamed and forced her to get married. She is a female householder.
This is the first one in the entire Liu Mansion, and there is a Lady Die behind him who supports her, and no other managers dare to mess with her.
Tong Sanniang's face was condensed, "You mentioned Cangzhou Mengjun just now, what's going on?"
The few merchants who were stared at by her felt quite pressured, they couldn't help lowering their heads, and said like mosquitoes, "This, this..."
"explain!"
The merchants were sweating coldly, and they spoke quickly and authentically, "The young ones are traveling merchants from Meng County, Cangzhou. Your house ordered a batch of goods from our owner, but they were robbed by a group of refugees and bandits when they were delivered. , I came to the mansion to ask the nobleman to be lenient for some time. The delay of the nobleman's time is not intentional. It is really that Meng County is in chaos now, and burning, killing and looting can be seen everywhere..."
They are just ordinary merchant teams, how can they resist the robbing of those mobs?
Although the Liu Mansion is not big, the food and clothing are all exquisite. There are a lot of goods that need to be purchased every year, and the sales are generous, but the big customers, but the goods they sent were robbed before they left the territory of Meng County. Now I can't deliver the goods, so I can only come to negotiate.
After listening, Tong Sanniang felt that she had aphasia for a moment.
If something happened in another county,
She wouldn't lose her composure like this, but the problem is...
That's Cangzhou Meng County!
"When did that happen?" Tong Sanniang asked coldly.
The common people lowered their heads and answered honestly, but they didn't want Tong Sanniang to sneer because of this.
"Although Meng County of Cangzhou is within the territory of Cangzhou, it is not very far from Hejian County. The distance between the two places is only half a month away. Such a big event happened in Meng County. Why hasn't Hejian received any news for so long?"
The businessman complained endlessly, and there was a nest of bitterness in his heart that had no place to dump.
"Aunt Tong doesn't know that this matter has already started, but the Meng family's army is too deceptive, and the refugees are not allowed to enter and leave Meng County at will, let alone spread the news. Obstructed, finally got the customs clearance documents, and encountered mobs robbing..." Speaking of the sad place, several men with distressed faces and tired expressions wiped their tears one after another.
The goods ordered by the Liu Mansion every year, the money they earn is enough for them to eat for half a year, but now they are robbed by the mob, their goods are lost, their money is gone, and they almost died on the way to Hejian County, these days life is even worse It's like hell, it hurts to mention it.
If the Liu family felt that they were wasting time and offered compensation, their losses would be even greater.
Tong Sanniang's face turned serious, her palms were sweating coldly, as if she remembered something.
"This matter is very important and needs to be interrogated by the master. How about this, you will be taken down by the steward to wash up, and the servant will report this matter to the master first. If you have anything to say, you can tell the master later."
When Tong Sanniang told Liu She about this, he was burning incense and practicing calligraphy, surrounded by a quiet atmosphere.
He remained motionless and put down the pen in his hand.
"Since this is the case, let those people come over and ask clearly."
He said why only a few people knew why such a big event happened in Meng County. It turned out that the Meng Jiajun deliberately blocked the news.
Meng Jiajun?
Ah!
A gleam of coldness flashed in Liu She's heart, and there was a flash of murderous intent in her calm eyes...
You will have today too?
appeal to -
The horse let out a long sigh, the speed of the carriage slowed down slowly, and then it stopped smoothly in front of Liu's mansion.
Jiang Pengji got out of the carriage, and jumped off without waiting for the driver to fetch the sedan chair.
Seeing a strange carriage parked in front of the door, she frowned slightly and asked the concierge.
"Are there any guests at home?"
The concierge replied respectfully, "If you go back to Mr. Erlang, you are the wife of my wife's natal family."
"Mother's?" Jiang Pengji slightly raised her eyebrows, "I don't know which one it is."
Because Liu She went to Hu County to take office, the family members seldom go out and interact with Liu She's clansmen, not to mention the step-wife's mother's family who is far away in Langya County, so they occasionally see each other during festivals. It is a courtesy exchange, and there is hardly any movement at ordinary times.
Wild beasts have a strong desire to possess their own territory, and they will notice once there is a stranger's breath or traces. Although Jiang Pengji hadn't reached that level yet, along the way, there were indeed some unfamiliar traces in the Liu Mansion that shouldn't have been there, which was unpleasant.
Before she entered the room, she could already hear a soft and sweet girlish voice coming from inside.
The girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a pink undergarment, her eyebrows were like Daisy in distant mountains, her skin was like peach blossoms and she was smiling, and there was a little baby fat on her cheeks, making her even younger, with a pair of eyes It seems to be filled with a clear spring, clear and bright, with shimmering waves, a straight nose, and red lips without spots, which makes people think of the brilliant peach blossoms in full bloom under the bright sun in spring.
Tsk, another loli sprouting everywhere.
"Uncle, is this Cousin Lanting?" The girl turned her head to see Jiang Pengji, with a smile on her face, she asked Liu She coquettishly.
Jiang Pengji didn't need to watch the live broadcast room, she knew that the barrage was full of ghosts and wolves.
No matter which world it is, there is no shortage of creatures like face control dogs.
[You're looking for death]: Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooish
[Old Driver Lianmeng]: I found that so far, the overall appearance of the anchor’s world is really high, there are almost no crooked melons, and no matter how bad they are, they have good facial features... Crying and chirping, it’s a dream of a face-controlling dog paradise.
Jiang Pengji glanced at the girl coldly.
[Anchor v]: Stir//shit, what's so cute about sticks?
Everyone in the live broadcast room was dumbfounded.
What does it mean? (To be continued.)
