Chapter 55 Eighty thousand arrears
Dong Wenyi, under the deception of Wang Zihan and others, finally signed an IOU of 80,000 taels of silver.
When everyone saw that the matter of the silver was settled, they all said that they had something to do at home and should leave first.
The Dong family lives in a town outside the city, and it takes more than two hours to go back and forth, and in the end, only Zhang Chao is willing to stay and send Dong Wenyi back.
Dong Wenyi sat in the carriage of the Zhang family as if she had lost her soul.
Zhang Chao asked the coachman to walk slowly, he always wanted to ask him in person if Dong Yunli had cheated everyone's money, but he didn't know how to speak.
Four carriages ran past the carriage they were sitting in, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Zhang Chao lifted the curtain and looked at it, and said, "Yunli, it's your family's carriage." ”
Dong Wenyi looked at it, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's my third brother's carriage." After saying that, he was stunned again.
None of them could have imagined that the man who had won their money, and had kept them alive and well, was now sitting in one of the four carriages and napping.
***
As early as when Dong Wenyi asked the Xu family for a dowry, the Dong family sent a carriage to pick up Dong Ruyi back to the Dong family.
It was not Feng's people who came to pick up Dong Ruyi, but the personal maid of the second wife of the Dong family, Aunt Hu.
Aunt Hu is the maid in the second wife's room, she has never married in her life, and she has a very high status in the Dong family, even when Dong Shengxing sees her, he has to call her Aunt Hu.
If it weren't for the second master's speech, the second lady wouldn't have let Aunt Hu go on this trip.
Mrs. Chen met Aunt Hu in the side hall to the west.
Mrs. Chen said, "Show Aunt Hu a seat." ”
Aunt Hu bowed for a half and poured out her intentions directly.
"The slave and maid thanked the in-laws and the wife, but today the slave and the maid came over on the order of the lady and specially came to pick up Sister Ru home. Hey, our Mrs. Tai always thought that the third master's family had gone to Beijing, who would have thought that there was still one left, these days it is really bothering the in-laws of the wife. ”
Mrs. Chen sneered in her heart, this kung fu of opening her eyes and telling nonsense is really amazing, I really don't know how my mother-in-law fell in love with this family in the first place.
She thought in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she said: "The in-laws have not taken care of the back house for many years, and the children are naturally unwilling to bother her old man for these small things." And Xianqing originally planned to take Sister Ru to Beijing together, who would have thought that Sister Ru would actually enter the eyes of my master, so he was forced to stay. “
Aunt Hu had also heard those rumors about the Feng family, but she didn't believe that a three-year-old female doll could have such ability, as for the people behind it, she knew it.
It's just that the only thing that she can't figure out is how Dong Ruyi, the adopted daughter, could stay alone.
Those rumors in the mansion that Dong Sanye left his adopted daughter in order to block the Feng family, but she didn't believe a word.
And those who said that Dong Ruyi had become Master Chen's closed disciple, she didn't believe it, Master Chen had a lot of students, who would really believe that he would accept a female disciple to inherit the mantle.
Along the way, she was thinking about why she had to find out why the adopted daughter, who was more precious than her sister-in-law, stayed.
Now after listening to what Mrs. Chen said herself, she realized that the rumors of the closed disciple outside were actually true, and the baby girl she picked up had really fallen into the eyes of the Chen family.
How can this not make her not stunned, the closed disciple is going to inherit the mantle.
There are two closed disciples of the old lady of the Chen family, one is Chen Jingzhi's sister-in-law, and the other is Wei Zhongxian, the youngest deputy minister of the Great Zhou.
Wei Zhongxian, the word Xianzhi, the old friend of Mrs. Chen, the son of the former prime minister Wei Zizheng, the reason why the Dong family fell in love with the Chen family was to make friends with the Wei family.
Mother Gui smiled: "Taste it, this is still sent from your house before." It was the mother who accompanied the new lady in your house to come over, and she specially brought good tea, and the slave maid thought that she was here to pick up Sister Ru, who would have thought that she would pick up our eldest lady. ”
When she finished speaking, she realized what she had said, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, turned around and knelt on the ground and said, "The slave has a lot of mouths." ”
Mrs. Chen looked unhappy, and she slowly put down the teacup in her hand.
Mother Hu's heart rose to her throat, she was like sitting on pins and needles, and Feng did not elaborate on this matter.
Mrs. Chen wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Speaking of which, I also asked Aunt Hu to give a comment." What are you doing on your knees? You're not making up nonsense. ”
Gui's mother should be this and get up.
Aunt Hu was vigilant in her heart, but said on her face: "Look at what the in-laws said, the slave doesn't dare to be a slave." ”
Mrs. Chen said: "It's strange to say, the new lady of yours sent her personal mother over, and I thought she was here to pick up Sister Ru back, who would have thought that she would come to pick up my daughter." It really made me angry, which of the seven did my Chen family's daughter commit, and no one cared about her going back to her parents' house for so long? ”
Aunt Hu was suddenly asked, and said in her heart: "Feng is really a stupid person, not only is he stupid, but even the people around him are stupid. You came and came, and when you found out that something was wrong, you couldn't even talk nonsense, what a room of fools. ”
Mrs. Chen saw that Aunt Hu was speechless, and said: "According to the seniority, my aunt is still a generation older than me, so I will ask my aunt for guidance here, what does the Dong family mean?" ”
Aunt Hu looked embarrassed, where did the Dong family mean that she could say as a slave, but it would definitely not work if she didn't say it.
Aunt Hu hurriedly laughed and said, "It really makes the in-laws laugh, this is really not what the master of the Dong family meant." I'm not afraid of the jokes of my in-laws, our new lady is sick for a while, her health has been bad, and all the big and small things in the family are in charge of the aunts in the house, and you also know that these aunts are always on the stage, if it weren't for you, the slaves didn't know that there was such a thing, I was really sorry. ”
Mrs. Chen sighed and said, "You said it was the aunt's meaning, that's what the aunt meant." It's just a matter of sister, I still have to ask her what she means, I'm not afraid of my aunt's jokes, since your family is new.... No, it's since your aunt made something like that, my lord has spoken, as long as Sister Ru is unwilling, no one can take her out of the Chen family except her parents. Mother Gui, you personally bring Sister Ru over, ask in front of your aunt, and see if she is willing to go back to Dong's house. ”
Aunt Hu was extremely worried in her heart, but whenever the affairs of the back house involved the masters, it would be up to the masters to come forward to solve it. If she wanted to let the second master of their family go to Master Chen to theorize, she shook her head, she didn't dare to imagine how much of a temper the second master would have.
Aunt Hu made up her mind, even if she was cheating, she had to trick people back this time. As for Mrs. Chen's aunt in the left sentence and the aunt in the right sentence, let her say it, it is Feng's stupidity.
