I only heard the third master of the Lu family patting his chest and saying, "It's okay, everything is still in time, I'll go to the shop to guard it now." Don't let things that don't have eyes mess with the rules. ”

As soon as the words of the third master of the Lu family fell, the expressions of the people in the room were different. Lu saw that the third lady's eyes lit up, and she forced the smile on the corner of her mouth to urge: "Yes, yes, the master is too right." Hurry up to the shop and help. "The Shu brocade in the shop, the fine silk, and the good rouge gouache. Just take something and come back.

Second Mrs. Lu's face was so overcast that it was about to drip, and she couldn't get used to seeing the faces of the third and the second of them. is full of benevolence and morality, but in fact, his heart is darker than anyone else. But this old man is also a fool, no matter what wrong things they do, as long as they kneel on the ground and kowtow a few times, squeeze a few tears out, the old man will act as if nothing has happened.

Just like now, these two people are obviously pulling things into their pockets under the guise of looking at the shop, but the old man looks pleased, his youngest son and little daughter-in-law are so sensible. Second Mrs. Lu thought about the second master who was now in the yamen and didn't know what had happened, and her whole heart was like frying on top of oil.

"You don't have to go to the shop. The little guy grabbed his hair, saw that everyone was looking at him, and said in a snort, "Shop, the shop has been sealed." ”

"What? How could it be sealed? What about the Shu brocade and rouge gouache in there? They also took them all?" Mrs. Lu San screamed, and questions popped up one after another.

"Dad, now the lord doesn't know what the situation is in the yamen, we should hurry up and inquire clearly, right?!" The afterglow of the second lady Lu's eyes slanted at the third lady of the Lu family, and looked at the second old lady of the Lu family with a calm face. Who is supporting this family, you don't understand, right?

As soon as Mrs. Lu heard that Mrs. Lu's tone was wrong, she also realized that she was a little forgetful. His eyes rolled, and he just wanted to say something to remedy it. Second Mrs. Lu turned her head and ignored her. She pursed her lips and sat back in disagreement.

"That's what the second family said. The second old lady of the Lu family lifted her eyelids and said in a hoarse voice, "Hurry up and find someone to inquire in the yamen." I think I'll let the third child go. ”

"Got it, Dad. The third master of the Lu family nodded in agreement, turned his head to look at the second lady, and solemnly promised, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely get this matter done." will also greet the people in the yamen and ask them to take good care of the second brother. The words were beautiful, but the person didn't move, and his eyes stared straight at the second lady of the Lu family.

How could the second lady of the Lu family not understand what he meant by sitting there and not moving his nest? She smiled and said, "The third brother has a heart. It's cold outside, and it's troublesome for the third brother to run, and I can't help it. She paused deliberately, saw the light in the eyes of the third master of the Lu family, a sneering smile flashed away, looked at the little guy standing on the side and said, "Let's let the pillar run." As he spoke, he took out ten taels of silver and handed it over, and gave a few simple instructions.

The pillar took the money, turned around, and ran out. Second Mrs. Lu picked up the teacup in her hand and drank the tea slowly, not caring about the faces of other people at all.

The pillars go fast and come back quickly. After inquiring about the matter clearly, the reason why the second master of the Lu family was taken away by the officials was because he was shoddy. It turned out that the lady came to the shop this morning and ordered four horses of Shu brocade, two horses of cocoon silk, and some rouge gouache. There is no goods in the library, and the second master of the Lu family listens to the meaning of the little maid, and the lady does not come often, and it is estimated that her status in the capital is not very high.

I thought about it. The four Shu brocades sent to the mansion are only the top layer of Shu brocade, and they are wrapped in some ordinary brocade. And the two cocoons and rouge gouache are also ordinary things, and they are short of two catties. The lady was furious, so she asked people to take the post and sue the yamen. The people in the yamen did not dare to slack off, and immediately took the second master of the Lu family away.

The other party said that if he wanted people to come out, he had to pay twenty times the amount of silver, that is, 20,000 taels. Otherwise, they will be sent to the frontier and filled with troops.

The three masters of the Lu family glanced at each other, and the army was filled, and they just kept things for them. Of course, they only dare to think about it in their hearts, and at this time, they will never dare to say it.

"Then why are all the three shops sealed?" the second old lady of the Lu family asked in a deep voice.

The pillar lowered his head, and whispered the second master to the shop and goods, and said the matter of doing maritime business with people as it was: "······ Now the second master can't redeem anything with silver, so they went to the door and sealed the shop. ”

"Confused!" The second old lady of the Lu family slammed the cup on the ground and shouted bitterly, "The second old man is a foolish thing, this is going to destroy this family!

Second Lady Lu lowered her eyes and pursed her lips: What is the matter with the ancestors and ancestors? How much have you paid for this family? If the head of the family earns silver, you will not have this face.

"Dad, Dad, Dad, you have to take care of your body!" The third lady of the Lu family and the third master of the Lu family glanced at each other, exchanged a look that understood each other, and dragged the old lady of the Lu family to the room.

Second Mrs. Lu looked at the backs of the three people, lowered her eyes, and blocked the coldness in her eyes. Hmph, it's really a catastrophe to fly separately! She snorted coldly in her heart, thinking of the current situation, and couldn't help but worry. If you want to get so much money, you have to mortgage this house.

The second old lady of the Lu family, under the persuasion of the third son and the third daughter-in-law, finally agreed to their statement and split up!

"Dad, isn't this okay?" When they sat together again, Second Lady Lu clutched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, endured the anger in her heart, gritted her back teeth and asked, "Your second son is still in the yamen, you have divided the family so quietly, how sad should he be after he comes out?"

The third master of the Lu family and his wife did not speak, but just stared at the old lady tightly, for fear that he would change his mind. Second Old Lady Lu looked at the earnest eyes of his youngest son and daughter-in-law, and then thought about what they said earlier. With a wave of his hand, he directly clapped the board and said: "Having said that, this family should still score." Although the second child is not there, isn't Zhengang at home? He is already married, and it is time to start the housework, so let him sign instead of the second child. ”

Second Lady Lu looked at the second old lady with cold eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "How does Dad plan to divide this family?"
