The Legitimate Younger Sister Insists on Marriage Exchange, Sending Me to Become a Marquis Wife – Chapter 440

第440章 左右为难
这阵子秦鸢一直在忙着处理徐氏的丧事,未曾打听过胡椒的价格,闻言笑道:“没想到齐王竟如此能耐。待到中秋,这胡椒的价格只怕远低于三十两银子一斤了。”

沈长乐殷切地问:“可否要现在就入手?”

秦鸢奇道:“为何如此说?”

沈长乐也不瞒她:“小的担心其他人会趁此收购,因主子说过,将外放话的线都收回来,小的一直注意着市面上的动静,有些耶律氏人近来频频询价。”

耶律氏在塞北应当有自个的商道,若是胡椒的价格过低,他们说不定也会囤入,转售他处。

秦鸢想了想,道:“你盯紧些,有什么就赶紧来报,若有花费直接记在账上便是。”

沈长乐慌忙摆手:“不必了,用不了许多。”

秦鸢正色道:“你做生意和旁人不同。背后运作也好,派人盯梢也好,总少不了花些小钱做人情。就是不用钱银,多走几步路也费鞋呢,更何况还要请人吃些点心茶水之类。京城里处处都要用钱,我若是舍不得这些小钱也对不住你的这番用心了。”

沈长乐心中感激,嘴上反而说不出,只在心中暗暗下定决心,定要做番大事,才对得起主子这份信任。

事情都说得差不多了,沈长乐还要去寻顾六爷商议木刻插图。

等他走后,红叶压低声音急切地问:“小姐,这胡椒的价格还能低于三十两银子一斤?”

秦鸢闭目沉思,缓声道:“我想应该能……如今还未到中秋呢,齐王不是说中秋节前见分晓么,若是差不离了,齐王会派人来送信。”

红叶夸张地大口抽气,道:“我滴个乖乖,这下子高价买入的人岂不是心肝都要滴血?”

秦鸢应了一声。

红叶又叹道:“咱们当初说要买的时候可是五十两银子呢。”

翠茗道:“这不是老天都在帮咱们,不让咱们破费。就是不知道顾六夫人那一笔损失了多少。”

红叶道:“小姐不是说了么,只要按住不卖,以后会涨起来的,就是少赚钱罢了。”

翠茗轻笑出声。

“你让我说你什么好,这个时候他们估计都着急出手,只怕没人接手,怎么有那个心思留住。六爷要告他们,不吐出点什么怎么交代?小姐觉得以后要大涨,也要他们也这么觉得呢。”

红叶就又是叹气又是笑。

秦鸢睁开眼,以手托腮,悠悠叹了口气,“你们不说我都快忘了,府里的那些管事妈妈们这会儿估计看府里办白事,六弟要和徐家打官司,也不敢闹腾。心里想必把人骂狠了,只是不知有没有骂我……怪道我这几日总是耳朵发热,打喷嚏。”

红叶第一个不愿意。

“这事和小姐又有什么关系?”

秦鸢无奈:“这事毕竟是因我而起……当初是我起头要囤买胡椒的……”

翠茗道:“人若是怨愤起来,不肯认命,总要找个人来背黑锅。舍不得怪自己,就要拉个人来怪。”

红叶撇嘴道:“那不更该怪赵嬷嬷么?”

人死了没地方怪,赵嬷嬷还活着呢,当初积极拉人入伙可有赵嬷嬷一份。

秦鸢道:“谁知道她们怎么想的呢?”

想了想又道:“赵嬷嬷那边都是六爷去和她说的,也不知道这笔银子如何了账。”

半个府里的管事妈妈们都陷入了里面,还真得给个什么说法才好。

不然只怕暗地里要对主子心生怨怼。

红叶道:“不如让她们自个决定,是就这么拿着等涨价呢,还是现在就按市价兑了银子出来,只是这么着也还是要挨骂的。以后真的涨了呢?就算以后涨了能不骂,这会儿跌成这个样子,他们可都是追高买入的,平白亏了这么多,也还是要骂的。”

反正就是不管怎么着都要被骂。

秦鸢:“……这件事……哎……”

翠茗笑道:“难得见到小姐也有左右为难的时候。”

秦鸢道:“我是想大方呢,又害怕助长了她们的心思,本就说好了这是自负盈亏的事。不大方呢,如今府里府外都有事,总不好为了这点子银子让底下人生了别的心思,自寻风波。”

顾六爷处理这事,大都是要听顾侯爷和她的意见。

迟早都要想。

红叶道:“的确有点儿为难。”

“为难什么?”

顾侯爷的声音响了起来。

红叶吓得赶紧站在了秦鸢的身后,翠茗则去吩咐小丫鬟添水泡茶。

秦鸢笑道:“你总是这么神出鬼没的,瞧把红叶吓成什么样子了,怎么今儿回来的早?”

边说边迎了上去接顾侯爷的官帽。

顾侯爷随意地看了眼红叶,不以为然:“她素日里张牙舞爪的,怎么这会子又被我吓住了。”

红叶赶忙道:“奴婢素日里也是小心谨慎伺候的,奴婢这就去小厨房瞧瞧。”

话还没说完人就已经从侧边踅到门口了。

秦鸢有些奇怪,悄声问:“你是背地里说了她什么了,怎么见到你吓成这样?”

顾侯爷嘿嘿一笑,道:“没有的事。”

秦鸢狐疑地盯着他。

顾侯爷伸长手臂,悠然道:“夫人帮我更衣吧。”

翠茗抿唇轻笑,也退了出去。

秦鸢就问:“今儿和六部的人相处的还不错?”

顾靖晖点头,锋利的眉眼泛着笑意,惬意地由着秦鸢摆布。

“用了松山先生说的法子,和吏部尚书掰了回手腕子,给了他们个下马威。午时之后,吏部尚书又另外派了几个来帮着做事,其他几部的官员也不再像起初那般敷衍懒散了。”

秦鸢眉眼含笑道:“好像说的你以前在军营里不知道什么叫做杀鸡给猴看似的。就是犯人刚被押解到衙门也得先给一顿杀威棒呢。”

“当然知道,只是我是武将,除了要东西,很少和这些文臣们打交道,弄不来文人那套。”

顾侯爷忙忙换过衣衫,喝了杯茶,道:“我还要去松山先生那里再请教些事,小厨房能否做些南方人爱吃的菜送过去?”

这是要和松山先生一起用膳了。

秦鸢笑道:“知道了,红叶那边早就对松山先生爱吃什么了如指掌,你只管说事去罢,晚上回来,我还有事要和你细说。”
