The bamboo garden is calm, at least on the surface.

However, the other gardens of the Lu Mansion can be surging.

The first green garden is recommended.

Aunt Yi didn't eat her meal angrily, leaned sullenly on the warm couch, and asked her henchman Mrs. Jia: "Is she stupid or shrewd?" ”

Mrs. Jia carefully gave Chunya and Qiubi a look, and the two girls quickly closed the door and guarded the side to prevent people from approaching.

"Auntie, are you saying that this sister Lu took over the secret box but didn't know anything about it?"

"You handed it to her yourself?" Aunt Yi frowned.

"Yes, the old slave handed it over by himself."

"That doesn't make sense, does it?" Aunt Yi said thoughtfully: "The blood veil is here, and Mother Wei must recognize that the box is the dead ghost wife in front, why is there no movement at all?" ”

According to Aunt Yi's presumption. When ordinary people see the relics of their biological mother and the bloody silk, they will be suspicious, and then quietly send someone over to investigate, right? This Lu Lu is good, he took it silently, and he was fooling around like no one.

Mrs. Jia also helped meditate for a while, and said in a low voice: "According to the old slave, the eldest girl has done this properly." ”

"Oh?"

"Auntie, you think, they have just been indirectly returned from the township by the old lady, their heels have not yet stood firm, their buttocks have not yet sat hot, how dare they make waves? Why don't you wait and see for a few days? ”

Aunt Yi recalled, and said with annoyance on her face: "It's me who is too anxious." ”

"Auntie doesn't have to blame herself. The old slave felt that he would have to send it over sooner or later, and it was better to send it early than to send it this night, and it would be good to plant a thorn in the heart of the eldest girl as soon as possible! ”

Aunt Yi listened to her words again, smiled, sat upright, and said with a smile: "You are reasonable." ”

Jia Po laughed and said: "It's my aunt's clever plan." ”

"Alright, don't brag about it." Aunt Yi waved her hand, and then sighed: "What do you think of what happened in the school today?" ”

Mrs. Jia glanced around, and said in a lower voice: "The old slave heard that this big girl offended the gentlemen and female students in the school today. Thinking that she was so disrespectful, it seemed that she deliberately embarrassed the second girl and the third girl. ”

"Why? What good does it do her to tear her face with her own sister? "Aunt Yi can't figure it out.

Jia Pozi squinted at the old eyes, thought hard for a long time, and shook her head puzzled: "The old slave doesn't know, this big girl acts in a disorderly manner, and the temperament brought by the township is really not easy to figure out." ”

Aunt Yi picked up the teacup in her hand, gently scraped the lid, and asked in a low voice, "Where is the bamboo garden?" ”

Mrs. Jia spread her hands and said in distress: "There is Mother Wei outside, and there are two first-class girls from the township guarding inside, our people can't get in, and there is no way to know more news about Zhuyuan." ”

The precautions are quite strict! Aunt Yi fell into deep thought.

In the side hall of the front yard, the chief manager of Zhou summoned all the big and small stewards to give a lecture, which is the self-made rule of the Lu Mansion, and the next day the chief manager will gather the encouragement and punishment of the small and medium-sized managers, and beat them to work diligently, and they are not allowed to be lazy.

After today's routine lecture, Manager Zhou also added an extra item, counting the little guys who were not on duty at two o'clock in the afternoon and went out of the house without permission and reported it to him.

The big and small stewards looked at each other, not knowing what the chief manager was doing.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you go quickly?" Chow Tai Fook put on an old face and scolded sharply.

"Yes." Seeing that his face was not good, the big and small stewards bowed their heads and promised to go back to work overtime.

The back hall is a house.

Pang led the girls to serve Lu Jing to change clothes and bathe, and personally held ginseng tea and served it.

Lu Jing has had a lot of worries in the past two days, his face is quite bad, he leaned back on the bed and squinted, took a sip of ginseng tea. When I looked up, I saw that Pang Zi was also bathing, changing into soft home embroidered clothes, half-pulling hair and half-draped hair, showing a bit of charm and loveliness under the lamp.

Lu Jing stretched out his hand to shake Pang Shi's hand, when he suddenly heard Duoshun's voice outside, and reported clearly with a little urgency: "Master, madam, the second master sent someone over to ask the master to come over immediately." ”

"What's the matter?" Pang Zi was very annoyed, Lu Jing finally stayed in her house tonight, and dressed up carefully, and came to ruin the good thing with a small eye.

Duoshun replied in fear: "The slave doesn't know." ”

Lu Jing frowned, slowly got out of bed and asked, "Who is here?" ”

"Back to the master, it's the big housekeeper Zhong."

As soon as he heard that it was the second master's chief manager Zhong Fu who came to invite him personally, Lu Jingteng stood up and called repeatedly: "Change clothes." ”

"Yes, sir."

Pang Shi saw that Lu Jing's face became solemn, and he knew that it was either a major event in the business or a court matter on the side of the third prince, so he didn't dare to slack off, and took the big girls to serve Lu Jing to dress and comb his hair.

"By the way, Sister Lu is going well in the school during the day, right?" Lu Jing opened his hands and let everyone serve, and suddenly remembered something.

Pang Zi's heart trembled, could it be that Aunt Yi's woman sued Lu Jing behind her back?

"I've heard it's okay." Ponzi is unknown.

Of course, Lu Jing didn't really care about Lu Lu, but came from outside, and overheard the housekeeper say more, saying that the women's school was lively today. He remembered Lu Lu's first day of enrollment today, so he asked.

"Oh." Lu Jing straightened his clothes, didn't ask any more and went straight out.

Pang Shi sent Lu Jing out, stood under the corridor and waited for someone to go away, and then said to the girl beside him hatefully: "Go, let me know who the master saw and what he heard before returning to the back hall?" ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Ponzi controls the backyard, there are many ears, eyes and eyeliner, but no matter how long the hand is, it is impossible to reach to the outer yard! Lu Jing's usual followers are not of the same mind as her, so the intelligence information about Lu Jing is a short board for her.

Xiao Huai dodged and handed the reply to Chuncao, received the reward, and quickly hid in his cabin.

He was attached to his uncle to make a living in the stable, and because of his young age, he had been running away for less than a year, and the old Cao who was in charge of the stable was greedy for money. Xiao Huai's uncle didn't have the money to take care of the back door, because Xiao Huai had worked in Lu Mansion for more than half a year, except for a few old clothes from time to time for dinner, there was no monthly silver. Because he has not yet been registered as a slave.

It is true that the Lu Mansion is a wealthy family, but the sale and purchase of slaves and maids must also be strictly in accordance with the regulations of the government.

Of course, it is not the same as a slave in a family, anyway, the parents are slaves, and the children born are automatically slaves. And there are two kinds of things that are bought from outside. The death deed is a lifetime that cannot be redeemed unless the master's family gives mercy. The living deed is agreed by both parties to a certain number of years, and then the settlement is settled.

Xiaohuai's uncle is a death deed, but after so many years, he is still just a coachman, an experienced coachman, except for being able to drive carriages and feed horses, he has no other advantages, he is in his thirties, and he still can't afford to please his wife.

Xiaohuai is family whose parents died of illness one after another, and his hometown couldn't survive, so he had to travel thousands of miles to join his uncle, who had been a slave for most of his life.

I was full of food, and I occasionally got a few old clothes from my elders, but I didn't have any money left.

Who would have thought that when the eldest lady returned home, he was developed!

Xiao Huai didn't dare to light the lamp, of course, it also meant saving lamp oil, and he was excited to count the hidden silver in his own room in the dark.

There was footsteps outside the window, and I heard someone talking, and asked in confusion: "Okay, why do you want to ask one by one?" ”

"That's it? What the hell is going on? I heard that the chief administrator ordered the inquiry? ”

"It's okay, it's okay. I've been staying in the house on duty today. ”

"Alas! I was miserable, and it happened that Shen Shi took advantage of no one to hide out and buy snacks for Xiaozhi......"

"Yes!" Single companions gloat and spit out.

Xiao Huai narrowed his eyes and thought: Ask? Shen time? Out of the house?

His eyelids jumped, no, his left eye jumped!
