Chapter 227: The Old Lady of the Zhen Family in the Red Chamber (4)

"Old lady, what happened?

Why are you going to sell these things?"

Butler Yu was shocked.

I haven't heard of something happening to the Zhen family recently, why did it suddenly sell the property? Could it be that the second master came here today to ask for money?

At this moment, Manager Yu had a lot of things in his mind, and he almost wrote an article.

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t care about.

Forget it, bring a chair over, take someone to count the warehouse, and I'll watch from the side.

If you order something, remember to tell me the name, and I can decide whether to sell it.

OK, go."

Qiao Mu really felt that there was no need to keep so many things at home. Some things may be kept in the warehouse for decades, and they may not be able to be used when the house was searched. So, why keep such a useless thing?

It's better to sell it for money.

It's just a dead thing to keep at home.

"I'm too polite, I'll go now."

As he said that, Butler Yu hurried out of the warehouse, greeted him, called all the servants in charge of the warehouse, and began to count the warehouse.

There were a total of ten people. When they first started counting, they were a little confused. When the two people reported the names of objects, they often overlapped together, but after a few minutes of running in, the servants understood the rules and made the reports slams.

There were almost no mistakes in the middle.

Qiaomu listened carefully from the side, and raised the signs if she found something useful in the future.

It means that this thing will be kept.

As for those who don’t hold up the sign, they will put the department aside and take it out and sell it for pawning.

Qiao Mu thought most things were useless, such as those golden toad ornaments, statues of Guanyin for sending children, jade carvings of Maitreya Buddha, etc. Qiao Mu really couldn't come, so she actually held up signs very frequently. When she counted all the things in the warehouse, she finally left only more than 200 fine antiques and treasures.

"Old lady, have you sold so many?"

Butler Yu looked at the warehouse cabinet that had been cleared, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"It's sold, but you don't have to sell it.

Let it go there first. When the second child comes back in the evening, you bring him over and ask him to take all these things away and take them out to find a way to sell them.

Okay, it's getting dark, and people are probably coming soon, so prepare for the dinner.

Make the dishes lighter, and it is not suitable to eat big oil and meat at night. Just make me a bowl of clear soup and vegetarian noodles."

As Qiaomu said, he slowly left the warehouse with a cane and prepared to go back to the bedroom to rest.

The original body is 81 this year. Although her health is pretty healthy, Qiao Mu must not ignore the care. After being tired for most of the day, he will not be allowed to rest for a while.

Jiangnan Weaving Office

This place occupies a huge area, and the emperor's palace was next to it, so the guards here were much stronger than those of normal yamen.

At this time, Zhen Sega happened to send someone to re-invent her private warehouse, and she became a little bit rated about her property, and she felt very distressed.

I feel sorry for these treasures that will not belong to me after a while, and my heart is really like a knife.

"Sir, do you really want to listen to the old lady?

What should I do with the Sixth Prince?”

The noise of counting the warehouse was quite different, so Zhen Sega's staff naturally understood the reason quickly.

He asked with great distress and concern.

They have to give 100,000 taels of silver to the sixth prince every month as support. If they pay back all the five million taels of silver at once, they will not be able to continue the supply of the prince unless they knock on some merchants.

I have been persisting for so long. If I suddenly cut off my offerings and punish the Sixth Prince, it would be a bit unworthy of the loss and I would have committed suicide by the way.

"The Sixth Prince is broken.

My mother said she would write to my daughter in person. The emperor is healthy now and I am afraid he doesn't like the prince's fight for power. The most urgent thing is to pay back the treasury money as soon as possible. What my mother said is reasonable. If you don't pay back the debt, the creditor will feel very uncomfortable even if he is embarrassed to say it.

You send someone to find ways to transport these things to various parts of Jiangnan and sell them through special channels.

You must keep it confidential, do you know?

I don’t want to be embarrassed to sell the property and make it known to everyone, and I don’t want to leak the news before paying back the money. Do you understand?"

During the period when Zhen Sega came back to count the warehouse, she was actually thinking and hesitating in her heart. When she thought that so many things would not belong to her, she wanted to cheat and regret it on the spot. But because of this, after thinking about it from the perspective of others, he could roughly guess some of the emperor's thoughts and possible ideas.

The inner hesitation naturally disappeared instantly.

After giving the order, he saw that it was already a little late, so he hurriedly took off his official uniform, put on his regular clothes, and rushed to his mother, the mansion of the Holy Madam. Even if his birthday was not very good, and his family gathered for a meal, he would not be late.

Otherwise, some people might say that he is unfilial.

Madam Fengshen House

Qiao Mu sat in the main seat, and her second son Zhen Sega sat on the left. Apart from that, there was no one, only the two of them and a table of dishes.

At this time, not only was Qiao Mu's face a little gloomy, but Zhen Sega's face the same. Even if there are some things that are not notified in advance and do not set the time in advance, then you should not be able to remember them.

Not even coming.

That's true for my mother's birthday.

It's a pity

There are not many children in this world who remember their mother's birthday, but few mothers who forget their children's birthday.

Qiaomu turned his head and raised his eyebrows and asked:

"You said you informed me?

So, is it because they are unfilial and unwilling to come, or what's wrong? Or will they not come if my birthday is not very good, and they will not come?"

"Mom, maybe there is something wrong.

I remember I sent someone to inform them that they were coming back today. What's going on?"

Zhen Sega was also a little confused. He sent someone to notify his children and grandchildren half a month ago, and also to inform his third brother and sister-in-law's family.

Why is it getting dark and no one has come yet.

At this time, Butler Yu walked in, handed a large stack of gift lists to Qiao Mu, and whispered:

"Old Madam, although you said that this birthday was only reunion for family members, many officials and wealthy businessmen still sent birthday gifts. After they gave the birthday gift, they turned around and left, saying that it was the right one.

You see, what should I do with these things?"

These words almost add fuel to the fire.

The officials and wealthy businessmen who had never met each other remembered her birthday and sent some gifts to her, but the only son, grandson and great-grandson did not know that they would come.

If there is something wrong, then I will send someone to send a letter or something, but there is no news, and it is just silent.

I don't know if it's coming or not.

I don't know if I should continue to wait.

Wait, and I was worried that I would be even more angry if I could turn back, and it would be bad if I turned back.
