Forty-three, two ladies 2
"Mama Wen said so, after the eldest master knew, he said on the spot that he wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy, the Lin family refused, the second master ran to the government to report the case, but the government has not yet opened the government, saying that the second master will come to report the case after the sixteenth, the second master can't, so he beat the drum at the yamen for a day, and then he came out quickly, saying that he would send the body of the second lady to Yizhuang first, and then come to try the case when the sixteenth yamen opened.

The second master said, let Mrs. Tai not worry too much, he and the eldest master will properly handle this matter in Fucheng, and they will definitely clear up the grievances for the second lady. ”
After hearing these words, Mrs. Xu first wept for a while, mourning the poor granddaughter, and Mama Yu waved her hand to Minglu, signaling him to go down to rest first.
"I thought that the concubine was really so selfish, but I didn't expect that she had suffered so much wrong!" Mrs. Xu cried and beat her chest and said, "It's my grandmother who is useless, I can't keep her!"
"Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai, you are mourning and changing, and you still need to support it in the house. Mama Yu comforted her.
The news brought by Minglu, it didn't take long for it to spread throughout the entire Xu Mansion, after the fourth lady heard it, she cried out of breath, and the eleventh lady was so angry that she smashed the inkstone: "It's too much deception!"
When you kill someone, you dare to say that the person who was killed is a suicide! You dare to come to the door to ask for trouble! I thought that my husband in my previous life was already the best among scumbags, but I didn't expect that there are still the best of the best in this era, which is really hateful!
The eleventh lady in this compartment is sulking, and the grandmother Li and Zhou in the compartment, and even the nurse of the fourth lady, Mama Zhang, and the mother of the sixth lady and the seventh lady, are all thanking the gods and Buddhas, fortunately, the second lady was killed by him, otherwise the reputation of these ladies in the house would have been really ruined.
When the Xu Mansion was busy because of this incident, a lot of things happened in the county.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Mansion's second grandmother took her two daughters and said that she was going back to her parents' house, but she was stopped by people from Li Mansion before she left the county.
"You dog, why don't you let us go out of the city, are you the county master!" Zhao Er's grandmother, a personal grandmother, scolded angrily at the person who blocked it.
"My lord said, if the Zhao family doesn't pay off their debts, don't think about going out of the city, look, grandma, you have the leisure to quarrel with me, it's better to go home and ask Master Zhao to pay back the money quickly. A man said slowly.
"You!"
Seeing that her grandmother was choked, Second Grandma Zhao stood up and said: "This little brother, it is the business of the men in the family to repay the debt, and the second master of my family and several other masters will definitely try their best to return the money to the Li Mansion, but now, my mother's mother is seriously ill, and as a child, I can't ignore it, so I plan to go back to my mother's house with my two daughters to serve the sick, and I hope that this little brother can be released." ”
The man sneered, stared at Grandma Zhao unceremoniously and said, "Madame's words are beautiful, but dare to ask Madame, it seems that the old man of your mansion has just died, and your parents have no grandchildren, so do you want these grandsons with filial piety to serve the sick?"
"Little brother-" Before Grandma Zhao finished speaking, she was interrupted by the man, and he said: "Don't say more, madam, now there are two paths in front of you, one is to walk back by yourself, and the other is that we will walk back with you, madam, please choose." ”
Second Grandma Zhao was also angry: "You dare!"
"Dare, Madame will know if she tries it. As soon as the man finished speaking, he glanced at the people around him, and immediately several men came forward to surround the carriage of their group.
"Mother-" The two young ladies sitting in the carriage screamed in fright when they saw this formation.
"You guys!" Second Grandma Zhao saw this kind of scene, and knew that the other party would not stop if she didn't achieve her goal, so she had to suppress her anger and said helplessly: "Okay, Zhao Dong, let's go home!"
Zhao Dong is the driver who came out to drive this time.
Although this conflict reached the ears of the major gentry in the city in a short time, it was natural to repay debts, so it did not arouse everyone's vigilance.
On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, when the fifth lady of Gaofu went out of the city, she was also stopped.
"This brother, I don't know what advice you have to stop my family's car?" Gao Qikang is Gao Wuniang's brother-in-law, ranked fourth in the house, also known as Gao Siye, this time he escorted his sister to his grandfather's house to celebrate the Lantern Festival.
The man who stopped the driver snorted coldly and said scoundrelly: "Don't dare to advise, Lao Tzu is just guarding here under the order of the Li Mansion, and the Li Mansion said that if you can't let you out of the city, you can't go out of the city, as for why you can't go out of the city, it's none of my business." ”
When Gao Qikang heard this, although he was very angry, he still replied politely: "Brother Tai, although my Gao Mansion has debts with the Li Mansion, the elders in the family will deal with these things, let alone my little sister, even I can't decide this matter, Brother Tai stopped my sister from driving, which is really unreasonable." ”
The man glanced at him and said, "Anyway, our brother collects money from people and does things for others, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can talk to the Li Mansion." ”
Gao Qikang was helpless, but he was even more afraid that these rough people would affect his sister, so he had to tell the coachman to turn back.
Li Mansion is just an ordinary merchant family, but Gao Mansion is different, Gao Taigong Gao Yan is a local famous painter, it is rumored that the old An Wang has asked him for paintings, plus Gao Mansion is not only famous ancestors, his descendants are all polite, respectful and virtuous, and belong to a more prestigious family in the county.
The daughters of the Gao family have always been only welcomed in Shangyuan County, and they have never been blocked. Therefore, after Gao Qikang returned home to report to his father Gao Jingyuan and uncle Gao Jingyi, Gao Jingyi went to the Li Mansion on the same day and asked him what his behavior meant today.
Unexpectedly, Master Li took out the original IOU and said to Gao Jingyi: "I originally planned to wait for the New Year to talk to Brother Gao Xian about this, since Brother Xian came to the door today, then let's make it clear now,"
"Before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, the old lady of your mansion borrowed 60,000 taels of silver from me, and the annual interest rate was three cents, I thought that the old lady Gao's business would be smooth, so that your Gao Mansion is good, and our Li Mansion can also make a little profit after him, but, Brother Gao, everything has a blessing and a curse, the news of the sinking of the 'Shangyuan' is spread everywhere, that Zhao Mansion, in order to avoid debts, was planning to split up the family a year ago, and there is no way to do this!"
After hearing this, Gao Jingyi was furious and said: "What does Brother Li mean by this? Does my Gaofu say that I will not pay back the debts? What do you mean by looking for someone to guard the county town without a word, afraid that my Gaofu will abandon the debt and abscond?"
Master Li waved his hand again and again, and said: "Calm your anger, calm your anger, virtuous brother is angry, of course the foolish brother believes that your mansion is faithful, but the virtuous brother should also understand the difficulties of the foolish brother, just 60,000 taels is not a big number in the eyes of the virtuous brother, but the foolish brother has been in the shopping mall for a long time, it is just a word, and it is also a big number in the eyes of the foolish brother, not to mention that in addition to 60,000 taels, there is also 18,000 profits!"
