Early the next morning, Tingzheng went to Li's house. Yue Yao packed up and went to the Meditation Garden, but Yue Yao didn't know about the process after the banquet, and she was not interested in knowing.

But when she arrived at the Meditation Garden, Yuehuan's eyes looking at Yueyao were very complicated, and she was even more sure from yesterday's events, Ma Pengzhongju and Zhongjinshi were all Yueyao's handiwork. But when she came back, she asked about the imperial examination, and she became more and more jealous of Yueyao. Generally, boudoir women only pay attention to dressing up, and at most they put a little effort into piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Yueyao can remember the topic of the scientific examination and what Yueyao was like before she was reborn. Through this incident, Yuehuan became more and more reluctant to be an enemy of Yueyao anymore, and if she was an enemy of this kind of person, she would die a miserable death.

Yueyao is now vigilant against all the people in the big house. Although she has a good sense of the moon ring, she does not reject the moon ring from using her for profit, so she is also vigilant about the moon ring.

In the evening, the flower bud went out, and on the way back, the flower bud walked like a fly, which made the people in the mansion look sideways.

When I returned to Lanxi Courtyard, I called Deng's mother, and then found Yueyao who was practicing calligraphy in the study with Deng's mother.

Yue Yao looked at the excited appearance of the two people: "How much did you earn?" "To be so excited for the two of them must have made a lot of money.

Hua Bud had a girl's smart eyes: "Girl, it's quadrupled." I cast fifteen taels of silver, and I earned sixty denariels. Mom voted 3,000 taels and earned 1~1~Ben~Read~Small~Say~ybdu 12,000 taels. "Yueyao is very generous now, she is no longer like in her previous life, she holds the gold mountain and can't use it, and she is framed for being raised by a big house. As a personal maid, Hua Bud has been rewarded a lot, and if it weren't for Hua Bud taking a part of the subsidy to the family, the savings would be even more.

Although there are many people who take a fancy to Yu Zida and bet on him as the champion of this subject, there are still relatively few people who bet on three yuan and the first. After all, although Sanyuan and the first are the dreams of scholars, they only exist in books in people's impressions, not to mention that the Great Yuan Dynasty has not existed before, so it is not uncommon to earn four times.

Yue Yao smiled faintly, four times more than 10,000 taels of silver, there is nothing unusual, and this kind of thing is actually opportunistic, it is difficult to touch: "Did you give your uncle an errand fee?" "With so much money, you have to pay for hard work.

Hua Bud hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, I gave my uncle's family a hundred taels of silver." "This is what Mother Deng explained before the bud went out.

Yue Yao nodded, one hundred taels of silver is relatively not much, but it is not a small amount for Uncle Hua Bud's family, it is the monthly silver of their husband and wife for a few years.

Hua Bud's father is the eldest named Liu Da, and the uncle is called Liu Er, both of whom are honest friends, but they have a good relationship. Although Liu Er knew that he had made a lot of money, it had nothing to do with him. But it's just a little regretful, why didn't I put the silver I saved into it (these silver were also rewarded for helping Yueyao before). However, after receiving a reward of one hundred taels, Liu Er still didn't come back to his senses, one hundred taels of silver, it was the first time for Liu Er to get such a large sum of money.

Ten taels of silver Liu Er can not move, but one hundred taels of silver wants to hide from the person next to the pillow, it is impossible, and her husband's heterochromatic Liu Er's daughter-in-law knew that night.

Mother Deng didn't care about the money, the girl said that she would support her and she didn't need to save any silver, and she could eat as much as an old woman could use, and the girl should have more silver. In the past half a year, the girl has sprinkled a lot of money in order to buy people. The girl's generous name was exchanged for silver: "Girl, you take this silver." ”

Yueyao didn't accept the silver ticket handed over by Deng's mother: "After a while, I will release my mother's identity deed, and my mother will use the money to buy some fields and other properties, and then adopt a daughter, and my mother will be able to live with her daughter and son-in-law in the future and enjoy Qingfu." "Yueyao doesn't mind raising Mother Deng, but no matter how she raises it, she doesn't have a home of her own.

Mother Deng's nose was sour. The girl is really sensible, and even she has thought about her future. Deng's mother is no different from Yueyao's arrangement, usually like her, she will adopt a daughter and live with her daughter and son-in-law with a large amount of money. As long as the daughter and son-in-law have a conscience, life is also extremely comfortable. Of course, there is a girl to support her, and she is not afraid of her son-in-law's bad intentions, but this is all for the future: "Girl, it's not too late to talk about this after the girl has established a firm foothold in the Shen family." "Where does she have this leisure now?

Yueyao would not tell Mother Deng that she did not plan to marry into the Shen family. This family business of the Shen family, she will definitely retire in a few years: "Mom, a person's character needs time to observe, and he will look away in a hurry, so pay more attention to the little maid below now." "Generally, when adopting a righteous daughter to support the elderly, they are all adopted and bought by a little girl who has no father or mother. There is no Lanxi Courtyard now, but at that time, Lanxi Courtyard will definitely have to add some people.

Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, people will hide and show people with masks, which requires careful observation to see through a person's nature.

Mother Deng shook her head firmly: "Girl, this matter is not in a hurry. "Mother Deng means to wait for Yueyao to get married and gain a firm foothold in her husband's family before talking about such a thing. Only when the girl is well will she think about the future.

Yue Yao smiled: "Then wait for a while." ”

The matter of adopting a righteous daughter can be talked about, but this silver money Deng Mother wants to give to Yueyao: "There are many places for the girl to use the money, and it is not appropriate to put this money on me." "Mother Deng is a servant woman, and the servant woman has tens of thousands of taels of silver on her, what a strange thing it will be if it spreads, and when the time comes, Mo will definitely make a big fuss about it.

Yueyao thought about it and took more than 10,000 taels of silver from Deng's mother: "Mom, I will keep this silver for my mother for the time being, and I will return it to you in the future." "Mo Shi can even make up her mind about the silver on her, if she gets the news and knows that Mother Deng has such a large amount of silver in hand, it is light to drive it away, and it is possible to kill her. For Mo's viciousness, Yueyao couldn't be clearer.

Mother Deng was still very happy that Yueyao was willing to accept her money. It's just that what she didn't expect was that this thing would leak out.

Hua Pozi hurriedly went to the main room. She just got a piece of news, and she had to tell Madame quickly, and she didn't know if it would be useful to Madame.

Mo Shi looked at her expression and withdrew all the people around him: "What's wrong?" "If it weren't for something important, Mrs. Hua wouldn't be like this.

Hua Pozi typed a draft in her heart: "Madam, the horseman Liu Er's family in the front yard has suddenly become more generous in the past two days. ”

Mo Shi glanced at Hua Pozi, Liu Er did things for Yue Yao, she knew this, this Liu Er's family suddenly became larger, there must be an article.

Hua Pozi felt that this matter was strange: "Madam, this Liu Er is the uncle of the third girl's personal maid Hua Bud." There are three sons and two daughters in the family, and now the third son is a little maid next to the fourth young master, this Liu Er's family was poor in the past, and two days ago suddenly bought new clothes for the child, and Liu Er's wife also brought out a gold bracelet. Although the bracelet was gold-filled, it was worth twenty or thirty taels, and no less than fifty taels of silver were used for bits and pieces. ”

Mo's face turned cold: "Do you know what Liu Er did to the third girl?" Liu Er took refuge in the third girl, and suddenly became broad, and he knew with his toes that it was related to Yueyao, but he didn't know what it was.

Hua Pozi shook her head: "I don't know for the time being, I just said that it was rewarded by the three girls." "She came to report to Madame first, and as for what to do next, it is up to Madame to arrange.

Mo Shi naturally has to figure it out, the third girl gave Liu Er so much reward at once, such a big deal must be a big deal.

Liu Er went to the gambling house twice to take leave. Liu Er was afraid that something would happen, and he was even more afraid that someone would follow him and be recognized, so he went in disguise, but he showed a few words in front of his daughter-in-law.

Liu's second daughter-in-law didn't think about it, and her husband's words were very tight in the past, but no matter how tight she was, she couldn't guard against other people's means. These people are all human spirits, and they probably guessed what was going on from Liu Er's mouth.

Mo never dreamed that Yueyao would gamble for money: "The three girls actually went to gamble for money? "That girl treats money as dung, and even gambles for money, and there is something more surprising than that.

Gambling money is secondary, the problem is that this girl has begun to value money, which is definitely not good news for Mo's.

Hua Bud got a letter from a little maid, and said to Yueyao with a pale face: "Girl, it's not good, the bet is known to the eldest lady." "Uncle patted his chest and said he wouldn't let anyone know about it, but now it's leaking out. If someone knows that the girl is going to bet, I don't know how shocked the old lady is!

Yue Yao put down the Zihao brush in her hand and turned her head to look at the flower buds: "If you know, you will know, if you don't know, you will think that the sky has fallen, and you will be calm in the future, and a little thing will make you mess up." "Knowing what, she just waited to let Mo know.

When Hua Bud went to get the silver ticket, she repeatedly warned her uncle that this matter was very important and should not be divulged out half a word, but she didn't expect to go out on a business trip: "Girl, what can I do about this?" If the old lady knows about it...... "If the old lady knows that they bet on the girl without it, they will be killed at worst, and they will be sold at the least."

At this time, Hua Bud couldn't help but regret a little, if she hadn't recommended her uncle to be an errand for the girl, there would have been no such things.

Yueyao turned her head to look at Hua Bud: "Did your aunt say how much to bet?" ”

Hua Bud hurriedly shook her head: "No." My aunt only knew that my uncle went to the bank, and then received the girl's reward, but my aunt did not know the details. ”

Yueyao nodded: "Then did you tell your uncle before, don't tell anyone about this, not even your aunt?" "Yue Yao is not guessing, but sure that Mo will definitely smell the wind, and then hold on to it. Therefore, when Hua Bud went to withdraw the money, she told Liu Er what she said.

Hua Bud nodded hurriedly: "Girl, I said." ”

When Yue Yao heard this, she unhurriedly spread the top that had just been written on the ground. This is Yueyao's habit, after practicing the words, pick out the one that you think is the best, and then compare it with the words on the rubbing book to see where the deficiencies are, and then improve the deficiencies.

Hua Bud was extremely frightened in her heart, and when she saw the girl's unhurried appearance, she couldn't help but whisper: "Girl, if this matter is known by the eldest lady...... she should have persuaded the girl not to let the girl bet."

Yue Yao said softly: "Don't worry, it'll be fine." At most, she will be punished for copying scriptures, which is not a big deal.

Seeing Yueyao's expression, Hua Bud really had no choice, so she ran to tell Mother Deng. When Mother Deng got the news, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly came over to find Yueyao: "Girl, this matter is all my fault, if the old lady asks, the girl will say that she doesn't know about it." ”

Hua Bud also knelt on the ground, her face was blue and white, but she still bit her chin and said: "Girl, if this matter comes out, the slave and maid are willing to bear it, and the girl can't be without Mother Deng." ”

Yueyao finally stopped paying attention to the blank paper: "You and Mother Deng are indispensable, don't worry, even if Grandmother knows about this, at most, she will punish me to copy the female ring a few times, and it will be fine." "Mo Shi can seize such a good opportunity to get rid of Mother Deng and Hua Bud, she will definitely not be soft, but how can she do what Mo Shi wants.

Mother Deng and Hua Bud looked at Yueyao: "Girl, you can't." ”

Yue Yao looked at the frightened Mother Deng and Hua Bud, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I expected that the Mo family would know about this." None of you can admit it, grandmother asked, you must do what I say, I have a plan. "Instigating the master to gamble, no one can afford such a big crime, and neither Hua Bud nor Mother Deng can bear it.

Mother Deng shook her head and said: "The girl can't do it, now the old lady in the mansion loves the girl, if the old lady is annoyed because of this matter, how will the girl be good in the future." ”

Yue Yao didn't explain too much to the two of them: "You just need to remember that this matter has nothing to do with you, at most you have not played a role in persuasion; As for the rest, you don't need to worry, my grandmother won't dislike me because of this, and if so, you don't have to wait until today. ”

Mother Deng was still unwilling, Yueyao looked straight at Mother Deng: "Mom, I have a plan in my heart when I said this, if my mother doesn't follow what I say, it will ruin my business." ”

Mother Deng and Hua Bud looked at Yueyao puzzled, and a thought appeared in their hearts: "What does this mean, girl. The girls have plans, what are their plans, why don't they know.

Mother Deng didn't ask much, only asked Yueyao: "Girl, if the old lady knew that the girl did it, would she really only punish the girl for copying the female precept scriptures?" "This matter is so big, I'm afraid it's impossible to punish the girl, and the girl may even be locked up in the Buddhist hall.

Yue Yao nodded: "Don't worry, I know it in my heart, don't panic too much." "It's good to let my grandmother know, I believe that my grandmother will know that Mo's is paying attention to her all the time.

Mo Shi acted resolutely, and after finding the evidence, he told the old lady about it, hoping that the old lady would severely punish Yueyao, which was really bold.

When the old lady got Mo's words, she was not as angry as Mo thought, but just looked at Mo Shi a little strangely, and then shook her head. Yueyao is tall and proud, this is something that everyone knows, how can she go to the gambling house to gamble for money, even if she really goes to the gambling house, there must be a reason. If it's for money, the old lady doesn't believe it: "Go and call the three girls." "Look at what this girl is singing.

Qiaohui came back to pass the word and revealed the matter to Yueyao.

Yue Yao smiled lightly, and the flower bud stuffed a purse for Qiaohui. Nowadays, whether it is a maid or a mother-in-law, they like to receive errands from Lanxi Courtyard. Every time you come, even if you don't have any money to take, there must be something delicious. Yueyao's generosity has won unanimous praise from top to bottom, so Yueyao's reputation is still good in Lianfu.

Qiaohui reminded her when she saw her, but the three girls didn't take it seriously. I feel a little at ease, it seems that the third girl knows in her heart that she will not anger the old lady.

Yueyao went to the bedroom to change her clothes and went to the upper room, not only her grandmother was there, but also Mo's was there. Smiled lightly: "Grandmother is fine, aunt is fine." ”

Where the old lady is there, naturally there is no part of Mo's casual opening, not to mention that it is still a matter of Yueyao: "Third girl, the second daughter-in-law of Liu in the front yard said that you took the money and asked Liu Er to bet, is this true?" ”

Yue Yao smiled and nodded: "How did Grandmother know?" ”

The old lady was really a little depressed when she heard Yueyao say it, but she was relieved to see Yueyao smiling happily, it seems that there is something else hidden in this matter: "Three girls, do you know that place is a gambling house." If one of your girls goes to the gambling house to place a bet, if it is known that not only your reputation will be damaged, but even the family will become a joke. ”

Yueyao slandered in her heart, if she didn't make a bet, where would it affect the reputation of the Lian family, and her grandmother cared about the family a little too much. Yue Yao raised her head and said unhurriedly: "Grandmother, this matter is Yue Yao's lack of consideration, please punish grandmother." "At this juncture, it is futile to justify or anything, and it is better to admit mistakes first and then explain.

Yueyao asked for punishment by herself, but she still had a three-point smile on her face, as if betting was a very fun thing.

The old lady saw Yueyao's expression and said with a cold face: "You say, why did you go to the gambling house to bet so well?" Is there less food for you at home, or less for your clothes? ”

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Grandmother, I am very good in the mansion, there is no shortage of food or clothing, everything is the best." She had to wait for the old lady to ask a question before she could tell the answer in her heart.

Sure enough, the old lady had a tense face: "You say, since there is no shortage of food and clothing for you in the mansion, why would you let people gamble?" ”

Only then did Yue Yao take out the words that had been prepared a long time ago: "Grandmother, Yue Yao heard in the mansion before that there was a talented man from Jiangnan, named Yu Zida. That day, I heard that this person was the head of the case in the Tong test, and the township test was Xie Yuan, and I wondered if this person would be able to test and be the champion, and even the palace test was also the champion, becoming the first person in the Great Yuan Dynasty and the first, and it has been passed down through the ages. Later, Deng's mother went to give gifts to her cousin, and came back to tell me that my uncle also said that this Yu Zida was likely to become the first person in the Great Yuan Dynasty. When I heard this, I took three hundred taels of silver to bet on Yu Zidaneng's success. ”

Although Yue Yao's explanation was incredible, the old lady believed it seven points, and it was impossible to bet according to Yue Yao's nature. So, the more absurd the reason, the more credible it sounds.

The old lady's face softened a lot at the moment: "Who told you to go to the gambling house to gamble for money." "No one said this, how could a girl in Yueyao's boudoir know this.

Yueyao didn't involve Mother Deng and Hua Bud: "This is what I heard my father say." Back then, my father also bet with his friends on who was Xie Yuan in Jiangnan, and no one in the mansion gambled with me, so I went to the money bank to bet. Grandmother, I thought that if I lost, I would be fine, and if I won, I would donate the money to do good deeds. ”

When the old lady heard that her son had also made a bet with a friend, her heart softened. As long as she talks about her younger son, the old lady is always unconsciously soft-hearted.

Seeing that the old lady's face softened, Mo Shi immediately asked, "Why didn't you say it before, but only now?" ”

Yueyao lowered her head: "I'm afraid that my grandmother and aunt will know and punish me, this kind of thing is not a glorious thing, I planned to donate it quietly." "It's normal to be afraid of punishment.

Mother Zheng walked in and muttered in the old lady's ear, Liu Er had already recruited just now, saying that the girl was Yu Zida, who asked her to bet on the three yuan and the first.

After listening to this, the old lady felt a lot more relieved to know that Yue Yao didn't lie, and glanced at Yue Yao: "Then how much did you bet?" ”

Yue Yao didn't think about it and said: "One hundred taels, this bet won four times the profit and earned four hundred taels." Grandmother, although I am hoping that there will be a talent in the Great Yuan Dynasty. But Yueyao made a mistake in the end, and asked her grandmother to punish her. ”

The old lady's anger is really gone, one hundred taels of silver is a very small amount for Yueyao, and even the jewelry she wears is more than this price.

Mohs was about to vomit a mouthful of blood when he heard it, and he made four times as much money by betting casually. However, it can also be seen from this incident that this fourth girl is really the same as before, and she doesn't care about money.

The old lady was very pleased: "Copy the scriptures twenty times, and the female ordination twenty times." There will be a next time, and the family law will serve. ”

Yueyao willingly accepted the punishment. For Yueyao, copying the female ring should be a practice of calligraphy, and her grandmother didn't say when she would hand it in: "Grandmother, I want to still study with Mr. Mama during the day, and then copy the scriptures and female rings at night." "You can't delay your daytime study.

The old lady bowed her head.

Seeing that the old lady had disposed of this matter so painlessly, Mo Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Hua Bud or Mother Deng. No matter who it is, as long as Yue Yao doesn't have these two people by her side, it will be easy to fiddle with when the time comes.

For the sake of fame, the old lady will not let go of Mother Deng and Hua Bud: "Mother Deng, I let you come back and be Tingzheng's housekeeper for the sake of your second daughter-in-law, but I didn't expect you to dare to conceal such a big thing and not report it, and you will be fined three months of silver." "As for the buds, they were also fined three months.

Mother Deng and Hua Bud are naturally all convinced.

The old lady said coldly: "This matter ends here, if half a word is spread and damages the reputation of the Lian family, I will never let it go." ”

When Mo Shi heard this, she didn't say anything, she just wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the people around Yueyao, and naturally she wouldn't spread it. damaged the reputation of the family, and her children will also be implicated.
