Chapter two hundred and thirty-six, panic, try their best
"Shut up, you can't afford to disturb the adults here." Mingyue glared.
Shopkeeper Ning was startled, but he was not afraid. He pointed at Ming Yue, put down his arm, and pointed again: "Okay, okay, I want to see who lives here today and why he came to Xuanping."
Go to Mrs. Hou to intercede."
Mingyue ignored him, listened to the silence outside, and knew that the girl had left, so she jumped out of the carriage.
Shopkeeper Ning hurriedly followed out.
Looking at the pavilion in front of him, Shopkeeper Ning, who had not panicked in the carriage just now, really panicked: "Where is this?"
Shopkeeper Ning thought Mingyue was bluffing on the carriage, but the scene in front of him made him realize that this was really a high-class compound.
"Stop talking nonsense, come with me." Mingyue gave him a cold look and said.
"Why should I leave with you? If I don't leave, you are committing a crime. Madam Xuanpinghou will come after she knows I'm missing soon." Shopkeeper Ning's face changed drastically and he said loudly.
"Don't yell. If you offend the adults here, our girl won't be able to protect you. You and I will go over and wait while we, the girl, go to find the steward of this house. When we come back, we will go to the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
"Ming Yue said coldly, looking around to see that no one was disturbed, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
Shopkeeper Ning really wanted to make trouble here, but he didn't know the specific situation, so he really didn't dare. He looked at the woman standing by and waited, and finally stamped her feet vigorously. She was already here, so she first took a look at the situation and listened.
According to what this girl said, the girl just now was not a particularly noble person, and she was also the steward of this family.
When I think about it, I feel a little relieved.
"Let's go!" he said with a serious face.
The mother-in-law led the way and led the two of them to a nearby yard, a yard where sundries were placed. The two of them were waiting in the left wing.
"You guys wait here for now." The mother-in-law looked at their faces as if they were looking at poor relatives who came to visit them in the autumn breeze.
"Mom, we are here. I don't know that our girl..." Mingyue, who had a cold face just now, now smiled and nodded, making shopkeeper Ning roll her eyes.
He was in bad luck today. Why did he think that the girl before was a person? She was really a person. Why was she looked down upon by all the servants? When he went to the Xuanpinghou Mansion, he could still see Mrs. Xuanpinghou. How could she be like this now?
, being looked down upon by a servant.
"Just wait here, there are so many words." The mother-in-law left them here without hesitation, turned around and left.
Shopkeeper Ning laughed loudly: "Which family are you looking for as a manager? Let me tell you. Maybe our Madam Hou knows the wife of this family. Looking at your treatment, the servants will be better than you."
"Shut up!" Mingyue's face darkened again and she scolded.
"How come I'm right? You really came to seek refuge with this steward? Looking at this courtyard, it should be a high-gate compound, but this high-gate compound belongs to the owner of the family. How capable can a steward be?
, he’s just a slave, maybe not even as good as me, so it’s better to beg him than to beg me.”
Shopkeeper Ning smiled more and more proudly. He walked to the window with his hands behind his back. From his angle, he could see a corner of the sky outside the courtyard. He had been to Zhengyuan Hou Mansion and Xuan Ping Hou Mansion. Look at this place and the two
Some parts of the Jiahou Mansion are built somewhat similarly, but for such a high-profile family, just looking at this corner, you really can't tell which family it belongs to.
"If you continue to talk nonsense, when our girl comes out... you will be scolded." Mingyue became angry. "Rebuke me? What are you scolding me for? I am Mrs.
You're not from the capital, but you don't know Mrs. Xuanping Hou?" Shopkeeper Ning turned his head, looked at Mingyue up and down, and asked sarcastically.
Now he has calmed down and is not so panicked.
"Shut up." Mingyue scolded coldly.
"How can a little girl have such a big attitude and really treat your girl as a noble daughter of aristocratic families? I have seen many aristocratic daughters, but there are no aristocratic daughters who are as public as your girl. She can't pretend even if she wants to.
"It's really..." Shopkeeper Ning raised his lips mockingly, with disdain on his face.
Mingyue was angry and anxious, glaring at Shopkeeper Ning angrily.
Shopkeeper Ning calmly lifted up his robe and sat down on the stool, and said calmly: "Little girl, don't be anxious, it's useless even if you jump around here, just wait, wait until you girls come back, now you
There is nothing you can do. In such a noble family, even you girls are useless, let alone a little girl like you."
When Shopkeeper Ning saw them, there were teapots and teacups on the table. They were still warm when he reached out and touched them. He poured himself a cup with a smile, took a sip and then put it down. He called Mingyue and said, "Little girl, come here, sit down and drink some water first.
That girl of yours may not be able to see others manage things."
"Already made an appointment." Mingyue came over unconvinced and did not sit down.
Shopkeeper Ning took another slow sip: "It's useless to make an appointment. How can a manager of this kind of people be casual? I have been a manager in the house before, so I know the rules best."
"What's the rule here? You can't see anyone at the appointed time?" Mingyue Bi was young, and was moved by what he said. She fell silent for a moment and sat down on the stool opposite shopkeeper Ning.
"Want to know?" Shopkeeper Ning smiled proudly.
"I want to ask shopkeeper Ning to tell me." Mingyue responded quickly and changed her attitude.
"Yes, yes, the little girl is quite smart." Shopkeeper Ning smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and knocked on the table with his hand, "Every high-level manager has time to see if his master is okay. If
If there is nothing, then we are very free. If there is something, then we will not be free. It doesn’t really make much difference whether you girls make an appointment or not.”
"Shopkeeper Ning...in which house did you work as a manager before? You are not talking nonsense, are you?" Mingyue didn't believe it.
"How can you be talking nonsense? Have you ever heard of Zhengyuanhou Mansion? I once worked as a servant in Zhengyuanhou Mansion and worked with Mrs. Ning of Zhengyuanhou Mansion." Shopkeeper Ning was not happy to be looked down upon by a little girl.
He patted his chest and said proudly.
"I've heard that... you and Mrs. Ning are of the same race?" Mingyue thought for a while and asked hesitantly.
"That's natural. Mrs. Ning is still my clan sister, and I am the steward of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion." Shopkeeper Ning said.
"Since you were a steward in the Zhengyuan Marquis' Mansion, why did you become the shopkeeper in the store again, and you were still from the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion? Is it possible that you were kicked out by the Zhengyuan Marquis' Mansion?" Mingyue asked in confusion, looking up and down.
He glanced at shopkeeper Ning a few times, his eyes slightly raised, a bit contemptuous.
"How could I be kicked out? How could I be kicked out? Of course it was Mrs. Ning who sent me out to do things." Shopkeeper Ning felt aggrieved at being looked down upon by a useless little girl.
"I sent you out to do something and kicked you out?" Mingyue shook her head, "I've never heard of that."
"I told you that I wasn't driving her out, I was sending someone out. I was sending her to Mrs. Ning's cousin to help her cousin, Mrs. Xuanpinghou, take care of things." Shopkeeper Ning looked at Mingyue with a look of contempt, and couldn't help but feel angry.
,Loudly.
"If you don't work as a steward in the Marquis Mansion, why not work as a shopkeeper outside?" Mingyue turned her head and looked him up and down again, and asked.
"right."
"This is really unheard of. The stewards of the Hou Mansion are so good. With our girl's status, we have to respect her when she sees her. How can you be like you now, an ordinary shopkeeper? No matter how powerful you are, you are just a shopkeeper.
, and it’s still a deputy position, so it’s of no great use at all.”
Mingyue spread her hands and looked like she understood: "You are a person who will be demoted when you are demoted, no matter what you say that sounds nice."
This action and look are really mocking.
Shopkeeper Ning lost his temper. He reached out and slapped the table, signaling Mingyue to listen clearly, "What nonsense are you talking about? I was sent by our wife to help Mrs.
He is a deputy and the person who decides things."
"I don't believe it." Mingyue looked suspicious.
Shopkeeper Ning took a deep breath, feeling that it was really hard to explain to a little girl who didn't understand anything. If he didn't want to find out about this girl, he really didn't want to say more.
Now is a good opportunity, a maid who knows nothing and no one else is around.
"How can you believe it?" Shopkeeper Ning took a deep breath and suppressed the depression in his heart.
"Can you really be in charge of the business of the store?" Mingyue asked doubtfully.
"Of course it is possible. I am responsible for all these things. Not only this embroidery shop now, but also the shops in the past. I also helped out." Shopkeeper Ning patted his chest vigorously and said.
"That is to say, you are the person sent by Mrs. Ning from Zhengyuanhou Mansion to Mrs. Xuanpinghou to help Mrs. Xuanpinghou sell several shops?" Mingyue thought for a while and summed it up in one sentence.
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean." Shopkeeper Ning let out a sigh of relief, "You girl are not stupid enough. Do you know who is in charge of this matter now? It's me, whoever I want to sell to, who I don't want to sell to, that's not it.
If you girls don't come to ask me for a matter that I just said, you go to ask a manager instead. This is putting the cart before the horse."
"Didn't you just... refuse? You can't make the decision in this matter. Madam Xuanpinghou has to make the decision. You have to meet Madam Xuanpinghou." Mingyue said hesitantly.
"Just now, I think we can discuss this matter with you girls. It depends on whether you girls can persuade me." Shopkeeper Ning doesn't want to stay in this place, and he doesn't know whose mansion it is.
Don't cause anything bad to happen, Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Hou will skin themselves when the time comes.
I don't know which family this girl is from. Shopkeeper Ning urgently needs to leave here. He always feels more and more uneasy the more he sits down.
"You can really make the decision?" Mingyue didn't believe it.
"Of course I can make the decision. I used to sell several of them. I found a seller for Mrs. Hou. Mrs. Hou was very satisfied with them and sold them all. Now this is the only one left. Mrs. Hou is still looking for a buyer."
Shopkeeper Ning said.
"You... tell me why those stores sold them before?" Mingyue didn't believe it and continued to ask.
"Why are you girl... so stained..." Shopkeeper Ning was furious. He just wanted to trick this girl and then take the opportunity to leave.
"Just tell me first." Mingyue looked serious.
"Okay... okay, I told you, listen to what I say, right?" Shopkeeper Ning waved his hand, helplessly.
