Just as Eleven Niang was immersed in the great cause of practicing calligraphy, something big happened to Xu Fu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few days earlier, a woman knelt down in front of the main gate of Xu's mansion with a child in her arms, saying that the child was the flesh and blood of the second master Xu, and asked to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors.

But because the woman came from Liuhongyuan, the largest brothel in the county, Mrs. Xu strictly ordered the housekeeper to close the door and not allow the woman to step into the Xu Mansion.

This day is the day of rest, Siniang learned that Eleven Niang does not have to go to school today, came to the summer garden early in the morning, since Eleven Niang studied, gave his living room the name of the summer garden.

Because the square table is not high, in order to work harder, so Eleven Niang is standing in front of the table to practice calligraphy, Siniang because she wants to gossip, so she sent off all the maids, including Xiao Xing who grinded ink for Eleven Niang, but fortunately, Xiao Xing has already sharpened an inkstone, enough for Eleven Niang to write for a day. Siniang sat cross-legged on the couch in front of the window, holding a piece of embroidered cloth in her hand as a cover, while Mama Li sat on the crescent stool in front of the couch. Because after Eleven Niang entered school, Siniang didn't have any excuse to run into her room, so the two hadn't gossiped together for a long time.

"Alas, Fourth Miss, didn't you see the battle, the woman hugged a child, and brought a Lao Tzu, standing at the main gate, that Lao Tzu insisted that the child was our second master's species, and he had to call the neighbors to judge, look at what this is called!"

"Is that woman really from a prostitute?" Siniang looked around before asking Mama Li in a low voice.

"It's really a prostitute, it's the Liuhongyuan on the front street, I heard that this woman turned out to be the tea maid of the peony girl of the Liuhongyuan, there is an elder brother and a younger brother in the family, in order to marry her brother, her father sold her to Liuhongyuan, no, now the younger brother is going to marry, and her father let her come to our house. "Mama Li's news is really well-informed, Siniang can listen to it one by one.

"This little cheap hoof, it must have been falsely accused of our family, what kind of place is that prostitute, have you heard of a few prostitutes having children? Even if they are pregnant, they will be beaten, how can they be born!"

Looking at Si Niang, who was more and more interested the more she chatted, Eleven Niang couldn't help but stroke her forehead: Please, it's your second uncle who has something to do now, and if you lose his face, you will lose the face of the whole family, especially your father is still the nominal head of this family, please have the consciousness of being a member of the Xu family, okay, don't show such an excited expression, okay?

In fact, Eleven Niang is a little wronged Siniang, because the fourth brother died early, Xu Er's heart is also sad, especially when he saw his mother suddenly haggard, Xu Er's temperament was restrained, unlike before, in order to go against his mother, he made some ridiculous things in three days. So Eleven Niang has been here for more than a year, and she hasn't seen Xu Er's stumbling, so she naturally can't imagine what the original Xu Er's master was like.

But Siniang is different, Siniang saw too much of the absurd behavior of the second master Xu when she was a child, and she witnessed the whole process of the second master Xu ignoring the opposition of Mrs. Tai and carrying the Zhao family from the prostitute to forcibly enter the mansion. And the face of the Xu family and her father's face have long been lost by this second uncle, so when she hears about the second uncle now, it is like listening to a play.

"What did the second uncle say, did he recognize this child?" Siniang asked as if nervous and excited.

"The second master said-" Mama Li said the key point, and suddenly stopped, Siniang saw that she didn't say anything, and immediately urged anxiously: "Alas, Mama, don't sell it, hurry up!" Mama Li squeaked for a while, and finally shook her head and said, "Of course the second master said that the child is not his!"

Eleven Niang, who was practicing calligraphy on the side, was surprised to hear this answer.

Because the primary school hall is located in the main room across the courtyard, after Eleven Niang became obsessed with practicing words, she often went down to the hall, and stayed alone in the school to practice words, and Mama Li would wait for her in the ear room next to her every day. That day, Mrs. Xu angrily called the second master Xu to the main room for interrogation, and after the eleventh mother finished practicing the words, she just took Mama Li to ask Mrs. Xu to say goodbye, so she also went to the main room, when she was standing at the door, just saw Mama Yu, she heard the voice of the second master Xu faintly in the room: "Why does she think that this child is mine? That night, Song Qiye, Han San, and Yang Erge slept with her-" Before she finished listening, there was a "snap" sound, and it should have been Mrs. Xu who slapped the second master Xu.

Mama Yu said to Eleven Niang with a difficult face: "Miss Eleven's filial piety Mrs. Tai has always known, Mrs. Tai is busy today, Miss please go back first!"

Eleven Niang looked at the panicked face of the servant at the door, she could only pretend not to hear, nodded and left.

Mama Li also helped her away very quickly at that time, showing that she was not interested at all.

"The second master also said that he was going out to confront the woman, and asked her why she relied on him—"

"Has the second uncle gone?" Siniang nervously interrupted Mama Li's words.

Now that the second master is being looked at by Steward Xu and a few little guys, Mrs. Tai also spoke, saying that if he dares to step out of this house, he will be separated!" Mama Li glanced at Eleven Niang, bowed her head and embroidered a stitch.

The second room is also the most populous in the house, and they are all women and children. Mrs. Xu probably won't give him out.

"But it's easy for the second uncle to be locked up, what should I do about the things at the door? It's been five days, don't you report to the official?" Siniang said angrily, she thought that the child was the second uncle's at first, so she looked at it as a joke, but now that she knows the truth, how can she, as a member of the Xu family, not be angry? That woman obviously had a child in that state, she couldn't give birth, and now after she was born, she didn't go anywhere, so she came to the Xu family, obviously to see that the Xu family was easy to bully!

"What's the use of reporting to the official! Even if this kind of thing is reported to the official, the county lord will say that it is difficult for the official to decide the family affairs. Mama Li sighed and continued: "This matter is too tricky, I don't know what Mrs. Tai and the eldest master will do." ”

"If you want me to guess, in order to solve this matter quickly, Daddy must want to give money to the mother and son, so that they can go as far as they want, otherwise this matter will not end well if it gets bigger and bigger!" Siniang thought about her father's usual way of doing things.

"Those people just want money, and the woman's Lao Tzu said, either let his daughter enter the mansion as a concubine, or give 500 taels of silver," Mama Li also guessed.

"500 taels, he might as well grab it!" Siniang exclaimed, the sum of the two Aunt Zhao in the second room was only two hundred taels of redemption silver.

"Not really!" replied Mama Li.

A three-entry house like Xufu in Shangyuan County only sells for 100 taels of silver, and the other party offers 500 taels, which is indeed a lion's mouth. In Shangyuan County, if a family of five has four dishes and two catties of rice per meal, the cost of vegetables at the end of a day is about 30 Wen, and it is 10.95 taels a year, and 500 taels is enough for a family of five to live for 45 years, and the appetite is really big.
