Because of the two consecutive funerals, the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Yu house was very low-keyThere were neither lanterns nor festoons nor did they set up a stage to singExcept for the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet that Concubine Mei set up, there was no trace of a lively at had dinner on this day, a little maid came to report that Concubine Mei asked to see her
Yu Linglong asked Tong Hua and others to remove the food from the table and called for Concubine Mei to co a red apricot-red hibiscus coat, draped in an ocher-colored thin cotton cape, and wore a silver hairpin with pie and plum on her head
As soon as she entered the rooht-inch food box on the table, s: “This is the five-color moon cake I specially ordered the kitchen to prepare for the Fourth LadyFourth Lady, try it, how does it taste?”
Yu Linglong nodded faintly and called Ling’er: “Take it first”
Ling’er took the food box out, and Concubine Mei also sent her outSeeing that there was no one in the room, Concubine Mei came forward, took out a new cluster of five-color purses fro’s hand with a smile
“Fourth Lady, I just collected the rent for a few shops in JiexiaThis is your 30”
Scanning the purse on the table, Yu Linglong shtlyIt seemed that Concubine Mei was really a shrewd person, and she had obtained the accountant authority in the Yu house so quickly
Seeing Yu Linglong’s expression of satisfaction, Concubine Mei ain and asked with a smile, “Fourth Lady, you are really a clever plannerLast time, how did you find the Sixth Lady’s red hair orna Yuezhen couldn’t find it, how did Yu Linglong know?
Yu Linglong didn’t look up at her, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and then slowly said, “If I let you knohat ible to take 30 of the profits”
A set of red hair orna, but if you wanted to find such a set of jewelry in the huge Yu house, and then take the opportunity to plot Jiang Yuezhen, this matter would be more involved
Ever since Lady Yu passed away, Yu Linglong had been working to infiltrate the Yu MansionWith the silver and jewelry sent by Mu shi+ earlier, she asked Xuan Cao and Ma Changgeng to draw up relationshi+ps and inquire about itThey were placed in key parts such as the warehouse, account roo room, and tea room, even the coal room and stables
Don’t underestimate these little servantsIn the Yu house, their information was very usefulFor example, what kind of food the mistress of which yard ate, what tea she drank, what clothes she wore, as long as Yu Linglong wanted to know it, someone would tell herWhen the mistress went out, where she went, and when she came back; the servants of the stable and the porter naturally knew better than anyone else
With these sources of information, all the actions of the entire Yu Mansion were under Yu Linglong’s ain the power of the house, Yu Linglong had been looking for Jiang Yuezhen’s omissions and Mu shi+’s dowryThe list was naturally the best breakthrough
In the warehouse of the Yu house, there were a lot of things that are said to be less, but not too muchPeople who didn’t know the details even if they have accounts looked messy fro women orked in the warehouse all the year-round were differentThey collected and , and they were more familiar with every property that was in and out of the warehouse
For exaold hair ornaments, the account book only recorded the box of silk that was brought in from the Sixth Lady, who didn’t care to look at as at the bottom of the boxThere was only a careful wonawed by aout the boxes to inspect, only then found the box of red-and-gold hair ornaments
Such a trivial e of the warehouse couldn’t think of it, but the humble woman knew the whereabouts of these hair orna role of little people
As for several other things, they were all in this situationThe mistresses of the Yu house only knew that they didn’t kno to find thes, how could they find things?
However, Yu Linglong didn’t intend to tell Concubine Mei about this kind of thingIf Concubine Mei knew the trick, she would naturally follow suit and gradually get out of Yu Linglong’s control
Seeing Yu Linglong refused to say it, Concubine Mei sed the subject wittily: “Fourth Lady, I haven’t been s that are unfamiliarI hope the Fourth Lady can take care of theh she now had the power of a housekeeper, General Yu also trusted her veryfamily after allShe was just a little concubine, as neither faain a firm foothold in the Yu Mansion, and besides General Yu, she still needed stronger support
And Yu Linglong, as smart and cruel, was the best candidate
Concubine Mei knew deeply that even though Yu Linglong had helped her sit in the position of a housekeeper, she still needed Yu Linglong’s long-term support if she wanted to secure this seat
Therefore, as soon as she got the rent for the shop, she i to fulfill her proet lance, but she didn’t reveal it but said indifferently: “Don’t worrySince I helped you, I will naturally take care of it”
This hat Concubine Mei wantedAfter receiving Yu Linglong’s affir, Concubine Mei left
After Concubine Mei left, Xuan Cao, as guarding the door, entered the roo motioned to her to pick up the purse on the table: “See how much money is in it”
Xuan Cao unlocked the purse, drew a few silver notes fro glanced at it and saw that there were two pieces of five hundred taels on the top, and four pieces of two hundred taels at the back, which happened to be 1,800 taels
Yu Linglong nodded, it was as she expectedThe Yu house was not a big family, and it was not bad to have these silver taels
Xuan Cao collected the cash receipts and said, “Miss, what do you plan to do with the cash?”
Yu Linglong thought for a while, and said, “Let’s buy a shop or a fieldIt’s a good idea”
She had already bought a few houses, and although they were not big houses, they were enoughAs for the silver coins on hand, she didn’t plan to save therow h business, so she thought it was more reliable to buy some real estate
Xuan Cao nodded: “I have been asking the young ladies these days if there is a good field, that would be the best”
Yu Linglong sht one? Speak slowly”
As soon as the news that Yu Linglong wanted to buy land was released, within two days, a woe cae in the eastern outskirts of the capital, surrounded by five hills, and a fish pond and fruit treesThe master wanted to leave the capital, so he wanted to take action
Yu Linglong heard it and thought it was pretty goodShe asked Xuan Cao to reward the lady with a slap of money and took her to see for herself the next day
Because she wanted to look at the fields, Yu Linglong didn’t ride a horseShe ordered the stable to prepare an ordinary black wagon, for only Ling’er and the woman who led the way and set off for the suburbs
It was deep autumn, and there were a lot of fallen leaves on the roadThe area was sparsely populated, and when she left the main road, the fallen leaves under her feet becaradually disappeared
AfterShe raised the curtain and asked the wo will it take?”
The woman seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly lowered her head and said, “It’s not far ahead”
Yu Linglong watched her words flickerShe suddenly beca, the woman suddenly clutched her stomach and said in pain: “That…Fourth Lady, I need to relievethat the wolong io and catch her!”
