747, Yangfeng
Silk String quietly carried the food box into the upper room, quietly opened the food box and put it next to the old lady, and brought the tableware and chopsticks before whispering to the old lady, "The third young grandmother made chestnut cakes to honor you, and it was steamed out, just in the mouth!" ”
Although the sweet smell of fragrant chestnuts came to the nostrils, people couldn't help but move their index fingers, but the angry old lady had no appetite, but was even more angry, "Honor me?" I'm afraid I'm here to relieve her good mother-in-law! Saying that, she glared at the kneeling Zhan fiercely, and the old lady was so angry that she wanted to tear her! Zhan knelt upright under the old lady's gaze, for fear that the old lady would use the topic to play and set her the charge of disrespect.
Silk String smiled and said, "In short, it's a piece of the mind of the third young grandmother!" There are still some times before the meal, usually at this time you also want to eat some snacks pads, today there are not enough people, the slave maid dereliction of duty did not take care of the kitchen side, fortunately, the third young grandmother sent it, to make up for the slave's mistakes, you just enjoy a face and eat some! ”
"It's good!" For the sake of the silk strings, the old lady was finally moved, and motioned to the silk strings and chopsticks, ready to rest for a while.
The kneeling Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, the old lady's questioning just now made her really unable to resist, and the evidence taken out by the Great Compassion Temple was very unfavorable to herself, and she didn't even have a breath when she was physically and mentally exhausted, and Zhou's pastry was sent in a timely manner! Zhan gave Zhou a credit in his heart.
Silk String ordered the glass plate containing chestnut cake, and was about to hand the chopsticks to the old lady, when she found that the old lady's eyes were staring at the glass plate in her hand.
The old lady pushed away the plate handed over by the silk strings, and went directly to take the plate with the cake, thinking that the pastry on it was in the way, so she directly reached out and pulled it away, took the plate in her hand and looked at it carefully, and the more she looked at it, the more her face sank.
The chestnut cake suddenly rolled to the ground, Zhan was surprised, and when he looked up, the sound was stuck in his throat, making a strange noise.
That plate is...... How did Zhou have this plate?
The old lady turned around when she heard the strange voice, and looked at Zhan Shi with anger and disgust: she didn't do more than this one thing about her own yang and yin! You'll have to deal with her!
At this moment, Yueqin outside pushed the door and came in, "Jiao Lu and his family have arrived!" ”
"Let them in!" The old lady put down the colorful glass plate and said in a deep voice.
Yueqin nodded, let Jiao Lu and his wife in, taking advantage of this vacancy, she picked up the snacks on the ground and put them in the food box and took them down, and when she came up, she brought a basin of water for the old lady to wash off the pastry crumbs on her hands, and the whole process was done quietly, without revealing any movement, when Jiao Lu and his wife came in, she had already packed everything up, as if nothing had happened just now, except for an extra glass plate on the table.
Zhan didn't expect Jiao Lu and his wife to be found! But it shouldn't be! I had obviously sent someone earlier, but why did the lady always invite them? Zhan couldn't help but look at Jiao Lu's family inquiringly.
Jiao Lu's family was the bewitching woman who bumped into Pingping yesterday, and when she saw Zhan's inquiring look at herself, she couldn't help but shake her head blankly, Zhan's knowingly gave her a warning look, signaling her not to talk nonsense, and the bewitching woman was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head!
Jiao Lu and his family knew that things were not good when they were found by the old lady's people, and some people stared at them along the way and did not dare to communicate countermeasures, and they received a warning from Zhan's family, so they immediately did not dare to move casually, and knelt next to Zhan's.
"Jiao Lu, huh?" The old lady looked at Jiao Lu with an honest face, but she didn't expect to do such a thing, "Do you know what I'm looking for you for?" If you don't know, just look at the guy tied up over there! ”
The person who was tied up was the person who Jiao Lu bribed yesterday to set fire to the Great Compassion Temple! Jiao Lu recognized it after just one glance, and was so frightened that he was so frightened that he was about to kowtow and confess, "The little ones all said...... They all say......"
Jiao Lu's family gently pushed Jiao Lu and signaled him not to talk nonsense, Jiao Lu couldn't help but be stunned, and didn't understand his wife's intentions.
The old lady saw the small movements of their husbands and wives' faces, and shouted, "Come on! Palm! Let this little hoof who doesn't know the rules know the rules of the Guogong Mansion well! Dare to fool in front of the master! ”
Guarding at the door, Yueqin came in when she heard the sound, walked in front of the bewitching woman and slapped her hand a few times, until her palms hurt before she stopped.
The old lady seemed to be very satisfied with Yueqin's actions, and nodded at her, Yueqin was overjoyed, and stepped aside to stand, and the old lady didn't ask her to go out again, but slowly stood on the other side of the old lady, symmetrical with the silk strings.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law's cheeks were swollen and her cheeks were swollen, and she couldn't even speak out, Jiao Lu couldn't care about thinking about what the push just now meant, and kowtowed "Bang Bang" and confessed, "The little one said, the little one said!" ”
"Yesterday, the fourth lady found the little Hun's family, and when she came back, she told the little one to help the fourth lady light a fire and burn a few coffins when she went to the temple to deliver food!"
Before, Jiao Lu bribed the monks in the temple to set fires, and then the monks were arrested, so he didn't dare to use others at will, so he let him do it himself, but Jiao Lu didn't dare to come by himself, so he bought an idle man to do it for him.
"The little one didn't have the guts, and he didn't dare to disobey the orders of the fourth lady, so he bribed others to help!" Jiao Lu pointed to the man on the ground, who struggled several times, but finally realized that he was only in vain.
After Jiao Lu finished speaking, he knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and his wife, who was beaten and swollen in the face, also knelt down, and Zhan Shi on the side folded his hands in his sleeves and crossed them on his legs, supporting his crumbling body hard.
"Amitabha!" The truth was revealed, and the monk of the Great Compassion Temple recited the Buddha's name, "Since this fire is a man-made disaster, not caused by the failure of our temple, then this compensation does not exist!" This is a family affair of the Guogong Mansion, and the poor monks will go back to the temple first! ”
"There are two masters!" The old lady barely squeezed out a smile with a dark face, "As for the losses caused by the fire to your temple, please inform your temple after the total, and the Song family will definitely compensate!" ”
The monk folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name again, which was considered to be an agreement, and the two turned around and left.
The matter is over, the case can be closed, Emperor Yao's side has also explained, and the officials of Zongzheng Temple have also left.
The old lady looked at Zhan Shi who was kneeling and reprimanded, "I think I treat you well, and I have never treated you harshly, but what have you done?" Yes? And what's going on with this glass plate? Didn't you fall in the first place? So what is it now? ”
