The old lady frowned and looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Zeng Liang: "Who is this?"

"This person's name is Jia Fu, a native of Fuzhou. Zeng Liang stared at the man hatefully, "This is this person, under the guise of a person from the Western Regions, who came to our farm, saying that there is the latest research and development of crystal rice, and what is saying that he has ventilated with the eldest lady of the Yuanning Hou Mansion, and wants to take the lead in planting this kind of rice in the nearly 1,000 acres of fertile land in our Chengdong Farm, and become a model for the capital." In order to encourage us tenant farmers, the eldest lady also gave each of us half taels of silver, and we coveted the half and two pieces of silver, so we did so, and bought his grain seeds, and planted them in the ground, never expecting that they would never sprout. He also told us that this is normal. The farm in the west of the city introduced crystal rice a few months later than us, and the people's rice is now growing well, and the rice grains are full, and now they are about to be harvested. If it weren't for a tenant farmer from our farm in the east of the city, we wouldn't have known that we had all been deceived. ”

When the eldest man saw that he was involved in his big house, he seemed to be inseparable, and hurriedly said: "We were also deceived by this guy, and we lost a lot of silver taels." Didn't you just say that the money to encourage the tenant farmers was distributed by our big house, and there were dozens of taels in total. ”

Zeng Liang glanced at the eldest master coldly: "You have lost a lot of silver taels, have you earned a lot of silver taels?"

The eldest master's face couldn't hold back, and he pointed at Zeng Liang: "You spew blood!"

Zeng Liang sneered: "Who is spewing blood, let's let this fake cannibal talk about it." With that, he kicked Jia Fu, who was kneeling on the ground.

Jia Fu must have been scared of being beaten and kicked by Zeng Liang. Wailed on the spot: "Old lady, although this thing was done by a villain, this idea was not made by a villain." It's the big lady. The eldest lady found the small one and asked the small one for a favor, saying that it would be divided into twenty-eight after the matter was completed. When the villain saw that Qian was open, he turned his brain and answered the eldest lady...... It was not my doing. ”

After that, he kowtowed again and again.

The old lady was so angry that she almost didn't turn her back on it, and when she found out what she had done, she found out that there was a thief in her house. Where does this make the face of the Marquis of Yuanning rest?

Seeing the old lady panting, Mother Du on the side knew that the old lady was angry, and hurriedly ordered someone to bring soothing tea. It was smooth to beat her back again, and finally the old lady relieved her breath, waved her hand and said: "If something like this happens, it is really unfortunate for the family." That's fine. Go back first. Your losses, we Yuanning Hou Mansion will bear it. How about each family make up five taels of silver so that you can buy new grains?"

When the tenant farmers heard that there was a compensation of five taels of silver, they were overjoyed, and thanked the old lady for her great kindness.

Then, the old lady asked Du's mother to take these people down to make a registration, and write down the names of each family, and there were others who did not come. I also wrote it down.

Everyone happily followed Mother Du down, as for that Jia Fu. The old lady was also brought back by Zeng Liang and others, and they were at their disposal.

When the second lady saw this, her jealousy arose, and she did not agree to the trouble that had broken into this big house, and should the money be made up for by the princess?

So she coughed lightly, and said to the eldest lord with a smile: "The eldest lord is really blessed, stabbing such a big man, the old lady spoils your big house, and solves the problem for you as soon as she makes a move." ”

The old lady snorted coldly: "What should I do? This silver thing..."She looked at the old man, "Boss, you can find a way to go yourself!"

After making such a big commotion, how could the old man dare to ask the old lady to give out the silver? Immediately said with a sad face: "This silver...... I'll find a way to get the money myself. ”

A tenant farmer is half a tael of silver, and the farm in the east of the city has at least a few thousand tenant farmers, but he has lost a lot this time.

When the second lady saw this, she covered her mouth and smiled, got up and said goodbye to the old lady, she wanted to tell her daughter about this matter quickly, so that her daughter could also have a good time.

After the second lady left, the old lady glared at the eldest lady and paused heavily on the crutches in her hand.

The old man's feet were weak, and he immediately knelt down: "Old lady, it's my son's fault, my son didn't take care of his daughter-in-law well, so that he made such a big fuss, and the old lady was worried." ”

The old lady said hatefully: "I'm worried about being small, but the face of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion has been lost to your daughter-in-law." ”

The eldest lord suddenly remembered something, raised his head and said, "Son, go and tell those tenant farmers, let them keep quiet, don't spread the word." ”

The old lady snorted coldly: "When you think of this kind of thing, I'm afraid that the whole capital will spread it." I've already arranged for Mother Du to do this kind of thing, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

"That's good, that's good. The eldest lord wiped the cold sweat on his head, and cursed the eldest lady a thousand times in his heart.

The old lady slammed her crutches to the ground again: "This time, how much silver did your daughter-in-law swallow from the Zhuangzi in the east of the city?"

Cold sweat oozed from the eldest master's head again, and he said in a trembling voice: "My son doesn't know ...... either"

He really doesn't know, he is a person who doesn't like to use his brains, and he has a shrewd and capable daughter-in-law who takes care of the house for him, so he doesn't pay attention to anything, and talks about poetry with those guests on weekdays, travels in the mountains and rivers, and lives a leisurely life. He often bragged to his friends that he would marry a good daughter-in-law, but now it seems that this daughter-in-law is not necessarily so "good", so let him lose face and cause him trouble.

"How did you do the head of this big house?" the old lady also became angry, "You don't even know about such a big thing? Do you really have to cause any trouble? Is it too late?"

Seeing that the old lady was really angry, the old man didn't know what to say, so he only shouted: "Don't be angry, old lady, don't be angry......"

"That's fine. The old lady thought about it and said ruthlessly: "You go back and tell your daughter-in-law that she doesn't have to take care of the accounts of this public middle school, let her rest for a while and reflect on it." ”

The eldest lord raised his head in astonishment. This is a big piece of fat, since he has managed the accounts in his big house, he has made a lot of benefits in the open and secret, and if he lets it go, then these benefits will not be gone?

"Old lady......" The old man looked at the old lady and stopped talking.

Of course, the old lady knows the thoughts of this eldest son, to be honest, she also knows the background of the eldest daughter-in-law, that is a brother who is a general behind her, and it is not something that their small Yuanning Marquis Mansion can afford to offend. But since this matter has made such a big noise, it should be solved first, right? Otherwise, the second room should be in trouble again.

"That's it. The old lady didn't let the eldest lord go any further, and stood up, meaning that she was going back to her own courtyard, and halfway through, she turned back to the eldest lord and said, "I remember that at the beginning of spring, your daughter-in-law gave a thousand taels of silver to the Gongzhong to buy this Laoshizi grain seed, and I heard the meaning of that Jia Fu just now, that is, your daughter-in-law and that Jia Fu shared the money together? ”

The old man looked at the old lady in a panic, he didn't expect the old lady to turn her face so quickly, and she didn't say anything about it. One thousand taels of silver, and the silver that had just been filled for the tenant farmers, added up to almost two thousand taels. He felt a dull pain in his heart.

The old man wanted to say something more, but Du's mother glanced at him, so he stopped his mouth and reluctantly sent the old lady out of the door.

Mother Du asked Zi Shao to help the old lady go back first, turned around and said to the old man: "Big master, don't be impatient, this matter will be postponed for the time being, and you will put the deficit silver on the mat first." According to the slave maid, this family is still the eldest lady after all, the second lady, although she has worked her lips, but the family is not that material after all, and when this limelight passes, the old lady will definitely let the eldest lady take care of the house. ”

Mother Du is a good person, she has long seen that the old lady has always relied on the power of the eldest lady's mother's family, and this family has always had to be presided over by the eldest lady, so she first revealed to the eldest lady to let him feel at ease.

The eldest lord was a little relieved and said, "If things are really as Mother Du said, I will thank you again in the future." ”

Du's mother smiled, turned around and went back to the yard. (To be continued......)
