Minglan was wearing a cloak, and the snow didn't drill into her neck, but Bizhu was miserable, the snow drilled straight into her neck, and the cold snow melted instantly when it touched the warm skin, and directly froze the perilla and cried. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The fourth young master is clearly deliberate!"

The fourth young master, Gu Shaoling, is thirteen years old this year, he is the eldest wife, and he is usually very pampered, but he has been studying in the academy before, and he came back when it was snowing and cold, and the academy was on holiday.

She found the Taoist priest and broke the calculation of the long house, the eldest lady lost her housekeeping rights, and she was still angry, and the fourth young master took the opportunity to teach her a lesson to help the eldest lady get angry.

How could Minglan not know this.

Unable to take care of himself, Minglan hurriedly helped Zisu pull off the snow on his body, and said, "You hurry up and go back to take a hot bath, don't get frostbitten, let Sydney pick me up, remember to put on the cloak." ”

Zisu really couldn't bear it, she shivered when it was cold, she stopped being strong, and said, "Girl, be careful." ”

Minglan nodded, and Shisu walked back.

After she left, Minglan looked at the fourth young master, he apologized, and played with the fifth young master, Minglan clenched his fists, turned his head, and walked towards Changsong Courtyard.

The fourth young master was younger than her, and he said that it was unintentional, plus she was wearing a cloak and was not injured, and the old lady was in a hurry to find her, otherwise how could she be "interested" to play with them for a while!

After walking for a while, Minglan arrived at Changsong Courtyard, the maid lifted the thick cotton curtain, and Minglan entered the house.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the house, and when I entered from outside, I only felt the heat in my nose and felt comfortable.

The maid handed over the stove, Minglan reached out to take it, the maid helped her untie the cloak on her body, and Minglan walked forward to greet the old lady.

Luohan collapsed, the old lady was drinking tea, and when she saw Minglan coming in, she was stunned and said, "Why did you come here on such a cold day?"

Minglan was stunned, "Didn't my grandmother ask the maid to pass it on to me?"

The old lady's brows twisted, and Wang's mother said, "The old lady has not passed on the second girl, which maid is so bold that she dares to spread the word indiscriminately?!"

At the screen, the eldest lady and the fourth lady walked in and said with a smile, "I asked the maid to pass the word, didn't the maid make it clear?"

Minglan's eyes were cold for two points, and then he returned to his original state, and asked for peace, "The eldest aunt is well, I don't know what the eldest aunt is looking for me?"

The old lady saw that the eldest lady's complexion was not bad, but it was far from being as good as before she was sick, so she said, "If you are not well, you will rest, come here now, and bring Minglan here, what is the urgency?"

The eldest lady nodded, and the maid helped her sit down, and said, "I didn't want to hear the maid talk about one thing, I'm afraid it will have a great impact on our Jingningbo Mansion, so I asked Minglan to ask." ”

Outside, the eldest master and the fourth master came in, and even the old lady and the third master came.

In the weather when the snow melts, no one is willing to blow the cold wind, but now they are gathered together, and there is no major event that will be accused of stirring up the people.

The old lady sat down and said with a serious expression, "Call us all over, what's wrong?"

The people were almost there, Mu and Gu Shi didn't come, but it didn't matter, they would only favor Minglan, and the eldest lady didn't send anyone to tell Mu and Gu Shi at all.

Minglan stood there, feeling like she was going to be interrogated, which made her very unhappy.

When everyone sat down, the eldest lady said, "Yesterday, the maid told me that there were many people in and out of the Zhuangzi in the west of the second brother and sister, all to buy charcoal, so I sent someone to inquire, and sure enough, the second brother and sister's Zhuangzi had a large amount of charcoal, not to mention tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was still the price before the snow, and the price increased by more than five or six times after the heavy snowfall. ”

At the mention of five times, the eldest lady's voice trembled, it was an irrepressible jealousy, and everyone in the room gasped.

A few masters couldn't sit still, and the fourth master took the lead and said, "Zhuangzi is the second sister-in-law, why did the sister-in-law call Minglan over?"

The eldest lady's eyes fell on Minglan, and she was not afraid of others saying that she was too wide, so she said directly, "Zhuangzi earlier, the second brother and sister gave Minglan the deed of sale with the deed, and it was Minglan who asked Zhuangzi to buy and sell charcoal with Steward Liu. ”

It's so clear!

Zhuangzi is her mother's dowry, and now she is given to her, what she does in Zhuangzi, her father is inconvenient to meddle in, she is justified in speaking, and she is not afraid of others saying that she is worried about the dowry of her younger siblings.

The old lady looked at Minglan and asked, "Did you really store a large amount of charcoal on Zhuangzi?"

Now, there is no room for denial, and besides, she hasn't thought about denying it, Zhuangzi is there, and she can't hide it at all.

Minglan nodded and said, "I asked my mother for a lot of charcoal in Zhuangzitun, grandmother, I told you and my aunt that it will snow this winter, and it will snow heavily, let my aunt have more charcoal, and my aunt didn't pay attention to me, and then I dreamed of my great-grandmother, in the dream, she also told me that it would snow heavily, and I also dreamed that many people froze to death, I told my father, but no one believed me."

When my great-grandmother was alive, she asked me to do more good deeds, I couldn't convince anyone, and I couldn't stand idly by, so I had to figure out my own way, a few days ago, the weather was hot, not like winter at all, everyone said that it was a warm winter, and even the charcoal business was difficult to do.

There are fewer people who burn charcoal, and when it snows, I can't burn charcoal if I want to, so I can only buy charcoal myself, and then sell it again, it's better than going back and everyone has money but can't buy charcoal to freeze it....... ”

Minglan said more than once that it would snow heavily, but no one cared about it, and the old lady didn't know about it, even the maid knew about it.

The eldest lady's face changed, and she said, "Where did you get so much money to buy charcoal?"

"I borrowed it!" Minglan said in a loud voice.

Another burst of inflections, tens of thousands of taels of silver, not a small amount, who will lend it to her?

Like Steward Liu, another bunch of people misunderstood that Muyang Hou borrowed her.

The eldest man said, "Minglan Tuntan is a good intention, but doing this will inevitably lead to the suspicion of hoarding." ”

Merchant hoarding is the most immoral behavior, not less scolded behind the back, although Jingningbo Mansion is not prominent, but there is a title in his body, if he is impeached by the imperial history platform, I am afraid that he will be counted down by the emperor in front of the civil and military officials.

Minglan looked at the old lady and said, "Grandfather, I didn't hoard Juqi, even if Yushitai impeached me, I'm not afraid! You asked Yushitai to go to the street to inquire, when I asked Steward Liu to buy a large amount of charcoal, I didn't hide that it would snow heavily, but no one believed it, compared to having no charcoal to freeze people alive and dead, I made a great contribution!"

It's just that the charcoal fire is sold at five times the price, she really doesn't know about it, she only told Steward Liu to send more charcoal to those poor people, and sell the rest of the charcoal, after all, she has to repay the borrowed capital, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.
