Chapter Seventy-One: The Officials Come to the Door

Feng's words not only reminded everyone of Dong Ruyi's current age, but also reminded everyone that if no one instigated Dong Ruyi, how could she, a three-year-old child, say such a thing. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The second lady was also a little tired of such a thing, and said directly: "Let Mother Zhou come and talk back." ”

Previously, Aunt Hu sent away the slaves and maids in the flower hall, and she was the only one left in the house at this time.

Aunt Hu leaned over and said, "The slave and maid will come when they go." “

Aunt Hu turned around and went out, but she didn't come back for a while.

The second lady looked at her husband, who was even more unhappy, and said angrily: "This Aunt Hu is really getting older and more useless, and it takes so much effort to call someone over." ”

Dong Changsheng didn't make a sound, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

The hall was very quiet, and soon a rush of running was heard.

Aunt Hu's face turned pale, and she ran in panting, and a second-class maid supported her.

Aunt Hu entered the flower hall and sent the maid out.

The second lady originally wanted to say a few words about her, but seeing her now, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Aunt Hu panted and said: "The yamen is here, and the housekeeper of Laifu wants to see the master outside the Rongfu Hall and say... Say... Say..."

The more anxious this person was, the more he couldn't say what he wanted to say, Aunt Hu gasped, and said three times in a row, but she didn't say what the yamen was doing when she came to Dong's house.

Dong Changsheng threw the tea bowl in his hand over, and the sound of the tea bowl breaking resounded in the flower hall.

Dong Changsheng said: "Say, what do you want to do to see the master?"

Dong Shengxing didn't explain, he was thinking about what he had done recently.

Aunt Hu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, so frightened that she didn't pant or stumble.

Aunt Hu said: "The housekeeper said that the people from the yamen tied up the tenth master, and said that the tenth master stole and was sued by the yamen. At this moment, the housekeeper was waiting outside Rongfu Hall, saying that the chief butler had passed. ”

Dong Sheng stood up and exclaimed, "What?"

Feng Shi exclaimed: "This is impossible. ”

She suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned her head to look at Mother Lu, with a gloomy face, and asked, "Tenth Master has received the silver this year?"

Everyone in the flower hall was stunned, and they all looked at Mother Lu.

Seeing this, Mother Lu hurriedly shouted injustice and said, "Wronged, madam, the tenth master received the silver early in the morning, and he really took the silver early in the morning." ”

Feng still believed this, and he didn't dare to deduct his own son's silver.

Feng Shi looked at Dong Shengxing and said, "It is impossible for Yunli to steal, he just took the whole year's silver, he just bought it directly if he likes it, why steal?"

Dong Shengxing felt that what Feng said was right, Dong Wenyi was not short of silver, so why steal.

Dong Shengxing said: "Do you say that he stole something? Who sued the yamen?"

With the Dong family's current power in Jiangning, even if Dong Wenyi really stole something, no one would dare to really sue the yamen.

And even if there is someone who is not long-eyed, and really sues Dong Wenyi to the yamen, their county magistrate Yang of Jiangning County will not dare to accept the Dong family's case.

Dong Shengxing and Master Na Yang are Jinshi of the same department, and with the friendship of being officials together in Jiangning for so many years, he will only settle the matter quietly.

Aunt Hu said: "The housekeeper didn't say so much, only said that the people from the yamen locked the tenth master over, and they had to ask him face to face, the big housekeeper had already passed, and said that the matter was a little troublesome, and the master had to come forward in person." ”

Not to mention Dong Shengxing, even Dong Changsheng couldn't sit still at the moment.

The Dong family is the emperor of Jiangning, and those who dare to sue the Dong family to the yamen in Jiangning, but the yamen dare not accept the case, they are all counted.

Dong Changsheng's heart sank, thinking that the prince of Xuanyuan was now in Jiangning, thinking that Lao Shi would not offend him.

He looked at Dong Shengxing, and it was obvious that Dong Shengxing had also thought of this.

No matter how powerful the Dong family is, it is also a royal minion, and then the Xuanyuan Mansion is an adopted son, just like Dong Ruyi is in the Dong family, it is also the master.

If this matter is caused in Beijing, not to mention that they will not be able to please Xi Dong, even Dong Shengming, the uncle of the Dong family, is estimated to be implicated, and he has hope to enter the cabinet this year.

Thinking about those people in the clan and the Eastern Mansion, Dong Changsheng said: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”

The second lady said anxiously: "Who is so bold? dare to sue the Dong family, and dare to come to the Dong family with Yunli?"

Feng Shi heard the second wife say this, his eyes turned red, and he said, "But no, I don't believe that Yunli will take other people's money." If he doesn't have enough money to spend, he can come and ask me why he wants to steal other people's money. He must have been wronged, and I don't know how Yunli is doing now, why did he lock him up. ”

Feng's heart was already pinched at the moment, and all she was thinking about was her youngest son.

At this moment, no one pays attention to Dong Ruyi anymore.

Her personal affairs are not a matter in the eyes of the Dong family, if it weren't for the fear of gossip outside, it is estimated that the Dong family would not bother to pay attention to her.

Dong Ruyi knelt in the flower hall like this, and no one paid attention to it.

I saw her eyebrows lowered, looking at the ground motionless, as if she was stupid by the second old lady's tea bowl, and she didn't say a word, as if she didn't exist at all.

When Dong Changsheng and his son came out of Rongfu Hall, they saw Laifu who was pacing back and forth in a hurry.

Seeing that Dong Changsheng also came out, Laifu hurriedly said, "Little Laifu greets the old lady and the old man." ”

Dong Changsheng said: "Get up, tell me what the hell is going on?

Laifu peeked at Dong Shengxing, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Yang personally sent the tenth master back, and the chief housekeeper has already gone over to entertain him." It was said that the tenth master took someone's ticket to Daxing Qianzhuang to exchange silver, and was directly sued by the people of Daxing Qianzhuang to the yamen, and the people of Daxing Qianzhuang heard that the defendant was the tenth master of our family and also wanted to calm things, but the plaintiff was unwilling, so he had to ask for an explanation. ”

***

Dong Wenyi came out of Yixin Courtyard, saw that the silver tickets belonged to Daxing Qianzhuang, and took Dong Fu directly to Daxing Qianzhuang in a carriage.

He thought about going to Daxing Qianzhuang to exchange the silver ticket, so that he could directly repay the 20,000 taels of silver from Muzhai and the 80,000 taels of silver from Zuixianglou, and also save the interest of one day more if he repaid one day later.

When Dong Wenyi arrived at Daxing Qianzhuang, he coaxed and handed over a 100,000 taels of tickets.

The guy from Daxing Qian Zhuang collected the banker's ticket, and when he checked the account book, he saw the small print on the side, which was saved by two people.

He looked at the small handprint, and when his eyes rolled, he remembered the young master who looked like a scholar and the young child who came two days ago.

He was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he hurriedly called the second shopkeeper to come and check.

Here, there was good tea and water to entertain Dong Wenyi's master and servant, and told Dong Wenyi that the amount of silver tickets was too large, so it would take some time.
