36. Confession (supplement 6.16)

As soon as Zhou Rui arrived home, he heard his mother-in-law crying.

"What's wrong?" He asked in horror.

When Zhou Rui's family saw that her man was back, as if he had grabbed the backbone of the heart, he howled: "We Li'er fell into the lake!" ”

Zhou Rui was dizzy and almost fainted.

He propped up his chair, calmed down, and shouted, "What's the matter? Okay, why did you fall into the lake? ”

Zhou Ruijia wiped his tears and said everything in fifteen and ten.

It turned out that the youngest son of Zhou Rui's family was only three years old this year, and it was the time when he was lively and active, and Zhou Rui's family was going to the second wife on an errand on weekdays, so he was taken care of by her mother-in-law and a few maids.

Today, somehow, when her mother-in-law and the mother-in-law under the corridor were chatting, the cheating and slippery maids and women saw that no one cared, so they relaxed, and the child disappeared all of a sudden.

The old woman was a little panicked when she arrived, and she and the familiar mothers-in-law were busy looking for it, but she didn't dare to alarm the master, and there was no news for a long time.

In the end, someone else found a small figure by the lake, and the maid next to her heard that a boy from the Zhou family was lost, so she asked her to come and see, and her mother-in-law fainted when she saw it.

If there's anything you don't understand now, hurry up and catch it.

"What about people?!" Zhou Rui was shocked and angry.

Zhou Ruijia sobbed: "It's fished up, it's inside." ”

Zhou Rui lifted the curtain in two or three steps and looked inside, only to see his youngest son's small body lying on the bed, his face was pale, his hair was still wet, and his chest only rose and fell slightly.

His wife and a little girl of five or six years old were taking care of him.

The little girl timidly asked, "Daddy, when will my brother wake up?" ”

The old woman slapped her and slapped her, "Lose money!" I can't even look at a little doll! What do you cry about? He stretched out his bone-like hand to wring the little girl.

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly protected the girl behind him and looked at the old man angrily.

Zhou Rui didn't care, he only stretched out his hand to poke at his youngest son's forehead, which was hot and hot, and turned around and asked, "Have you invited a doctor?" ”

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly said: "The second wife ordered someone to ask for a doctor on the street." ”

As he spoke, he folded his hands and bowed, chanting: "God bless, bless my son......"

Zhou Rui is impatient, at this time, what is the use of praying to God and worshiping Buddha?

He walked around uncertainly, thinking of the hands and feet that the second wife asked him to move, the voice of Uncle Hu, and the eldest son who was still on an errand at Uncle Zhu.

In the end, he poured his deep hatred into the big house.

Where in the world is there such a coincidence? As soon as Uncle Hu finished asking that sentence, his youngest son had an accident!

It's a pity that there is no real evidence for this kind of thing, he is a slave, can he really sue his master?

Zhou Rui released a hateful look in his eyes, and repeatedly told himself that there would be a chance in the future!

The old doctor who had been invited from the street soon came, prescribed a prescription, grabbed the medicine, and called a little maid to help boil the medicine.

finally poured the medicine in, and the husband and wife took care of their younger son all night, and even the eldest son who came back at night couldn't take care of it.

However, when it was dawn, the child still didn't survive and went.

Keeping filial piety and funerals or something, has never had anything to do with the subordinates, and after a few days off, it is already the favor of the master.

Madame Wang sat down in her chair and yawned quietly.

It was just dawn yesterday, and the youngest son of Zhou Rui's family went.

She was straight in her heart, but on the surface she looked sympathetic, and said sadly: "What a clever child, why did he go?" ”

Zhou Rui's family got the thirty taels of silver rewarded by the second wife, and asked him to go outside to buy a cemetery for burial, and it was the time to be grateful, so he hurriedly said: "Mrs. don't worry, each has its own life, who can say clearly?" ”

I couldn't help crying when I said it: "I've been in front of my wife for more than ten years, and I'll say something from my heart." I just hope that my wife is still a young master in her belly, who can say what will happen in the future? If I hadn't had an older son......"

Mrs. Wang is not happy, isn't this empty mouth and white teeth cursing my pearl?

She smiled reluctantly: "Good mother, you grew up with me, I know your hard work." As he spoke, he touched his stomach with his hand and said, "Mom has had a good rest these two days, and there are hairpins." ”

Only then did he remember that after his wife was pregnant, her spirit was short, and Zhou Rui's family hurriedly thanked her and retired, and she couldn't stop thanking her wife.

Jia Hu's eyebrows danced with Lin Zhixiao to discuss how to rebuild Zhuangzi, how many craftsmen should be called, and how many earth, rocks, mountains and trees should be purchased.

As he spoke, he walked towards his grandfather's Rika Temple.

These days, he was in the Zhuangzi, supervising the whole process.

He didn't know much about the prices outside, so he took this opportunity to do it himself, so as to lay the foundation for the future.

This was the first task given to him by his grandfather, and if he couldn't do it well, wouldn't it be a disgrace to him?

On the way, Jia Hu was talking happily, and a familiar middle-aged man's voice came from the side of the road: "I've seen Uncle Hu." ”

Jia Hu turned his head and saw that it was Zhou Rui.

He raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Steward Zhou, what?" Steward Zhou deliberately waited here, is there something to say? ”

Zhou Rui lowered his head and suddenly said, "The slave's youngest son is only three years old!" ”

Zhou Rui's voice was not small, but there was no one nearby, only Lin Zhixiao, who was following Jia Hu.

Jia Hu seemed to snort, and without looking at him again, his sleeve robe brushed past his side.

Lin Zhixiao, who was behind him, whispered in the ear of Zhou Rui, who was bent down on the side of the road: "When Steward Zhou started, why didn't you want to think that Miss Ying was only five years old?" ”

Zhou Rui's face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear.

It turns out that the old lady also knows!

When Zhou Rui came back uncertainly, his mother-in-law was at home, he grabbed his mother-in-law's hand and whispered, "Quickly pack up your things, let's leave Rongfu!" ”

Zhou Ruijia said angrily: "Are you stupid? If you really escape, won't you become a fugitive slave?! Also, the boss is still by Uncle Zhu's side. ”

Thinking that the eldest son was still in front of Uncle Zhu, the couple looked at each other, and their hearts sank.

The second wife will not let them go.

Zhou Ruijia couldn't help but say, "I heard...... Grandpa Guo arrested several people for interrogation. It's hard to guarantee that the second wife will not be confessed. ”

Zhou Rui knew what she meant. The second wife has a death-free gold medal in her stomach, what are they?

"Moreover, this time, the second wife didn't say when I would go back on an errand."

Closing his eyes, Zhou Rui said in a hoarse voice: "It seems that the second wife wants us to take the blame." ”

When his mother-in-law heard this, she couldn't help but clench her hand.

"Even if it is to reassure the people who do things for her, Mrs. will treat our eldest son well."

The husband and wife sat across from each other in silence.

At this time, a little maid came over in a panic and said breathlessly: "Sister-in-law Zhou, something is wrong!" ”

The husband and wife of the Zhou family were as anxious as frightened birds, and they asked what was wrong?

The maid gasped for a while before she said, "Your eldest son, the one who went to school with Uncle Zhu, was plundered by a strongman!" ”

Zhou Ruijia grabbed the maid's hand desperately, desperate and incredulous.

It's Zhou Rui, who has calmed down at the moment.

He laughed at himself, how could Uncle Hu not leave behind?

"Now the plan is to confess to the uncle while the second wife hasn't reacted yet." Zhou Rui didn't shy away from the maid and said to his wife.

The maid smiled and said, "Steward Zhou, don't panic, Uncle Zhu is also a little frightened, at this time, the second wife is afraid that she won't be able to take care of you." ”

"But when she comes to her senses, it's hard to predict."

Zhou Rui looked at the maid fixedly.

The maid was the maid who came to report the news a few times ago, and she was not stunned, and even showed him a smile.

Zhou Rui seemed to admit defeat, and said resignedly: "Where is my son now?" ”

"Uncle invited him to be a guest."

"How can I let my son go?"

"Tell everything, everything, as it is." The maid meant something.

"How do you guarantee that my son won't be killed afterwards?"

"You don't have a choice."

"Okay." Zhou Rui could only bet on the slim hope, "Take me to see your uncle." ”

Jia Hu had been waiting in the study for a long time, and at the same time, there was Jia Yu.

Hearing the news that Hegui said that Zhou Rui was coming here, Jia Hu raised his eyebrows proudly to his father: "What's the matter?" ”

Jia Yu shook his head: "It's not good, it's too cheap for them." If you want me to say, why bother so much. Just sell them all to the mine, and that day will really be better than death. ”

"I didn't say I'd let them go."

Jia Yu was taken aback and said, "Hu'er, didn't you say that mistreating servants and slaves is an obstacle to reputation?" ”

Jia Hulai said gloomily: "The sin slave is different. ”

"What about Zhou Rui's eldest son?" Jia Yu disagreed, "Hu'er, you have to be true to your word." ”

Jia Hu smiled at him: "Then why don't you leave it to your father?" ”

"Let's sell it to the mines." Jia Yu quickly changed his tune.

If you dare to touch his Ying'er, you must have the consciousness to bear the revenge of the big house.

Zhou Rui didn't know what fate awaited him, and when the crane returned to the door, he waited outside the door, and his mind went over and over again.

After entering, Zhou Rui consciously poured out everything he knew from a bamboo tube like a bean.

The more Jia Yu and Jia Hu listened, the more surprised they became.

Less than a year after entering the door, the Wang family couldn't wait to order Zhou Rui and his family to put the money in Yinzi.

"Confused! Can you get your hands on it? How did the Wang family teach their daughter?! ”

Zhou Rui was silent.

His mother-in-law sued him, and the second wife had heard about this business a long time ago, and finally married so much dowry, how could she sit and eat in the air?

The money printed by the second wife, the account books and the vouchers were all in the hands of the two of them, and the wife only took three points of interest from her.

On the contrary, the Zhou family took out the capital, or charged an extra penny, and relied on the prestige of the Rong Mansion to make a lot of money from it.

Zhou Rui said in 1510.

The account book is also in the hands of the uncle, and it is not difficult to find out. Say it yourself, it's better to be happy.

This is a slave! Jia Yuqi's liver hurt and ruined the reputation of the Rong Mansion outside, but he got benefits. In the end, it's not him, the titular lord, who bears the blame for them?!

Then there was Aunt Zhou's miscarriage.

Zhou Ruidao said that his mother-in-law personally told him that she handled this matter.

Jia Yu gloated, and the old lady also said that Cai Fu was jealous, looking at what the Wang family did, an aunt could not tolerate it.

However, he was dissatisfied with the Wang family again, and dared to use Min'er as a gunman.

Just thinking of Jia Min, Zhou Rui said another exciting news.

After listening, Jia Hu only had one feeling, that is: there really can't be only one henchman. Otherwise, everything can be shaken off for you.
