New widow

Chapter 143 Origin

"Then give it to them." Su Qiao took the tea brought by Xi'er and let Madam Huang take off her cloak while she ordered softly.

"It's possible to tie a knot, but originally, these people said they would pay a ninety-five percent commission, but now they have changed people, and they are just hanging around." The housekeeper said hesitantly, ninety-five percent commission, then these six A thousand taels, which is a commission of three hundred taels.

Suqiao looked at the housekeeper and said, "Congratulations, you've made a fortune."

The housekeeper was so frightened that she immediately knelt down in front of Suqiao: "Madam, I don't dare."

"I'm just joking." Suqiao pondered for a moment before saying: "Since those people must pay back the commission for the Nine Five-Year Plan, you will accept it, but the commission will be placed in another account until later. When the time comes, I will come and see how much money has been saved in this account."

After listening to Su Qiao's instructions, the housekeeper dared to stand up: "Yes, Madam's instructions, we will do it immediately."

"Pay your money to them quickly, otherwise, there will be a group of debt collectors at the corner door of this house. It won't matter." Madam Huang urged, and the housekeeper responded, took the right cards, and left in a hurry. go.

"Madam, she is so open and generous in her work." Sister-in-law Liu kept praising her. Su Qiao felt that her interest was waning, and her wealth was charming. That's why these people kept praising her. They were obviously the same person, doing the same thing. , but everyone sees it differently.

"Madam, do you want to rest for a while?" Madam Huang asked softly when she saw that Su Qiao's face looked tired.

Suqiao nodded. Madam Huang and Sister-in-law Liu served Suqiao to rest. The tent was put down, the door was closed, and the servants

They all quit. Suqiao lay in the tent and sighed softly. Whoever wants to enjoy the wealth and splendor of the Duke's Mansion should let them enjoy it. She must plan carefully how to take Song Zhen out of the Duke's Mansion and go to a small town. , living a peaceful life.

"I often thought at that time, if your father was not allowed to go to the capital to seek official positions, would we still live there, rent a small house, hire an old woman, and let her be the rough ambassador? You can do it too. Study, and go to your grandfather's house if you have nothing to do. Your grandmother loves me very much." That was when Suqiao's mother was seriously ill, and she held Suqiao's hand and told her.

It was a good time. The young couple rented three rooms outside, and their mother-in-law worked as a roughneck. Their daughter had just been born, and her grandmother often came to visit with her things. However, all this changed when Mr. Kuang went to Beijing to seek an official position. .

Mr. Kuang came back from Beijing and said that after he got an official position, he would let his wife go back to the countryside and live with her parents-in-law. He also said that this was the duty of a daughter-in-law. At that time, when I went back to my parents' house to complain, I was scolded. How could I stop a man from going out to work as an official?

When he becomes a high official, the husband said, he can bring his wife and daughter to his post, and then the family will be reunited. It's a pity that my mother didn't wait for a family reunion until she died. It was not until several years after her mother's death that Suqiao learned that her father had married Li, the niece of his mentor, when he first went to Beijing to seek an official position.

Relying on Uncle Li's influence, my father's career as an official went smoothly. It wasn't until my mother was able to obtain the imperial title that my father took on his first wife's surname. At that time, Suqiao didn't know anything. Only her uncle would say when she was drunk that she knew he was outside.

If you want to marry someone else secretly, you should take Suqiao and your sister with you to talk things over with your brother-in-law.

The grandfather, whom he had never met before, was very happy to have an official son-in-law and did not want his uncle to ask for details. After all, with my grandfather's background, it would be a great honor to have such a son-in-law.

Even this honor did not bring much benefit to the family. Suqiao put away her thoughts, was glory and wealth really that dazzling?

Looking at the exquisite embroidery on the bed tent, Suqiao just smiled. She could always find a way to leave this prison and live a good life outside.

Su Qiao went to prison to visit Mrs. Eleven, and pretended that nothing had happened. She was still sorting out the affairs in the house. The rosters had been sent to Su Qiao. Who should be kept and who should be sent away? Qiao and Mrs. Huang, Sister-in-law Liu and the others made a list after discussing it.

The dismissal of the servants this time is different from the one last time. As for the important families, Suqiao personally talked to them and let them leave safely. The third-class servants were led by Madam Huang to comfort them, but some were unwilling to leave. At this time, the housekeeper came out personally to explain the situation in the Duke's mansion, and declared that they could no longer spend their money as they had before. .

After a busy few days, the people who should be dismissed from the Duke's Mansion have also been dismissed, and the vacant pavilions and pavilions have been closed and will only be reopened when major events occur. The Duke's Mansion seems to be far less crowded than before. There was a lot of power, but Suqiao felt that it was good that the Duke's Mansion was so quiet. It didn't have to be like before. It would take a long time to tell what happened.

In one's own ears.

Suqiao was checking accounts with Madam Huang that day. Madam Huang turned over an account book and couldn't help but sigh: "When these accounts are reconciled, it's time for me to leave."

"That Zhuangzi, I've already taken care of it for you." When Madam Huang heard Su Qiao's words, she just smiled. She had worked hard all her life, but just wanted to live a stable life.

"Madam, the eldest lady is here." Suqiao frowned slightly when she heard the mother-in-law's report. Counting it all, it was almost ten days. She didn't know what Mr. Song was asking about.

"Invite her in." As soon as Su Qiao finished speaking, Mrs. Song walked in happily. When she saw Su Qiao, she said, "Third Aunt, I heard about it, I heard about it."

"What did you find out?" Suqiao looked at Mrs. Song, who clapped her hands and said, "I found out about Aunt Eleven's natal family. At this moment, the master has sent people to her mother's house.

After saying that, Mrs. Song wanted to wait for Su Qiao to be happy. Who knew that Su Qiao was not as happy as Mrs. Song thought, so she just said "oh". Mrs. Song couldn't help but frown when she saw that Su Qiao was neither cold nor hot. But Mrs. Song did not dare to say anything and was still waiting there.

"Even if we find out where her mother-in-law is now, I'm afraid her family is no longer here." Suqiao said lightly. Mrs. Song frowned: "How could it be possible? This person didn't fall from the sky. Where can I find it?" It will disappear without a trace."

"You and Aunt Eleven have been sisters-in-law for so many years." Suqiao frowned slightly and calculated: "It has been almost 20 years. Do you know her origins?"

"Of course I know that she is the daughter of a preacher and has something to do with her family.

This is the marriage. " Mrs. Song blurted out, and she saw the smile on Su Qiao's face becoming more and more sarcastic.
