"Second uncle! How can you do that? ”

Cheng Shilang, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, immediately said as soon as he saw the second master Cheng who came out.

The sky was already bright, originally he should be studying at this time, it was less than a month before the exam, and even last night he just had a dinner with his family, and went back without admiring the lanterns, but when the day was not bright, he heard the news from the little girl, and he couldn't read it anyway.

"That's an industry that the eldest sister earned so easily, how can you, second uncle... How can you...."

Second Master Cheng pulled his face and glared at him.

"Are you stupid at reading?" He said, "Don't you know the law? ”

"But second uncle, that, that kind of thing that the people don't sue the officials and don't hold accountable...."Cheng Shilang said.

Second Master Cheng snorted.

"If the people don't sue the officials and don't hold them accountable, that's when it's okay." He said, pointing out, "Isn't there much to do in our family?" Why was I impeached? Why was she being dragged and beaten to be killed? It's not like you're acting on your own, and you're going to keep someone in charge! ”

Cheng Shilang is not good at words, and he has always respected teachers and elders, and his face turned red when he was said by Cheng Er.

"Then, that's obviously because of your misconduct before the second uncle..."He stammered.

"Rebel!" Second Master Cheng shouted, "How can you talk to me?" ”

Cheng Shilang shuddered and lowered his head.

"Did you see it, did you see it, it's all because of her, she doesn't respect the prince of heaven and earth, so that you can learn it one by one." Second Master Cheng said angrily, pacing back and forth a few steps.

"A country child knows that a piece of land is in the name of his grandfather and father, not to mention that she has a daughter's family. It's reasonable to do such a ridiculous thing! ”

"In order to replace this document from being known. I still struggled. Broken wealth, pleaded for mercy! ”

"You're still asking me, how can I do this? How can I do that? So you say, what should I do? ”

"Shaft! You dare to come and teach me a lesson! Where have the books gone? Get the hell out of here! ”

Cheng Shilang's scolded dog blood sprinkler hurriedly saluted and covered his face and withdrew.

Compared with the attitude of Second Master Cheng, Second Mrs. Cheng, who also rushed to Cheng Jianniang's side early in the morning, has a much better attitude.

"Jiaojiao, it's all for your good."

She said with some trepidation.

"Madame, it's really a joke, it's the first time I've heard that robbing someone else's things is still for someone else's good." The handmaid laughed.

"Is Jiaojiao someone else?" Second Mrs. Cheng immediately said, glancing at the maidservant with a little displeasure, "Is the master someone else?" ”

The maid looked at Second Lady Cheng and smiled.

"Madame has changed." She said.

A sentence that seems to have no beginning or end. Second Mrs. Cheng understood.

Her face flushed slightly.

This is to say that I used to say that I didn't say anything to Cheng Jianniang, but I was respectful to her as a servant, but now as soon as the documents are changed to black and white, my attitude has changed immediately.

It can be seen that he has food in his hands, he is not panicked, and he is full of confidence.

Now is no longer the time to rely on others to give money and alms, but the time for her to really hold the money and food in her own hands, although it is still just an empty document for the time being, but it is still a long time, and the documents are in her hand. Is there anything else impossible?

That's true, nothing to fear.

Second Mrs. Cheng sat up straight again.

"It's not the same now." She took it vaguely. Ignoring this servant girl anymore, she continued to say to Cheng Jianniang, "Now that you are in the limelight, your father has a shallow foundation when he first came to the capital, I don't know how many people are staring at us openly and secretly, wanting to ruin your reputation and ruin your father's future." ”

"You're right." Cheng Jianniang said.

It's the same sentence again.

Second Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but look at her.

Since the second master Cheng found out about this matter last night, the woman was not angry, let alone noisy, she just said such a sentence at that time, and got up to leave, the two of them didn't sleep well all night, and they came over in a hurry before dawn, but they didn't want this woman to get up yet.

Looks like she slept pretty well last night...

It's true... It's okay?

"Jiaojiao, this is really for your good and for the good of our Cheng family." Mrs. Cheng reiterated again.

"Then why aren't these under the name of the second master, but you?" Banqin couldn't help but say.

Her eyes were blue and her eyes were red and swollen, which showed that she hadn't slept well last night.

"It's for Jiaojiao." Second Mrs. Cheng hurriedly said, "If it is in her father's name, wouldn't it be the Cheng family?" Is it the old man's? Your father doesn't have two hearts, but he can't protect the rest of the Cheng family. ”

Banqin bit her lower lip, and felt that she had nothing to say when she wanted to say something.

Looking at the silent maid in the room, Second Mrs. Cheng couldn't hide a little smug in her heart.

So if it makes sense, who can say anything!

"Jiaojiao, don't worry, these are all for a show, not really these are mine." She said with a loving face, "These are all yours, or you have the final say, Miss Banqin is still the big shopkeeper, and if you marry in the future, you will be at your disposal." ”

There was silence in the room.

This made Mrs. Cheng feel a little dry-mouthed, as if she was singing a one-man show.

"Jiaojiao, you don't believe me? I'm ...... your father," she sighed.

"I believe it." Cheng Jianniang interrupted her and said.

Yes?

Second Mrs. Cheng was a little surprised and looked up at her.

"If you believe it, I will believe it." Cheng Jianniang said.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the few documents that were pushed in front of her, which were replaced by Second Master Cheng with her name written on them.

"Half celery." She said.

The maidservant answered, knelt down and picked up the paperwork.

"Burn it." Cheng Jianniang said.

Go up in flames?

Second Mrs. Cheng stretched out her hand to caress her heart in surprise, and Banqin also looked at Cheng Jianniang in surprise.

Really?

But the maidservant was not the slightest surprised, and without a trace of hesitation, threw the paper into the brazier beside her.

There was a puff of smoke in front of him, and several papers were smoldering and curled, turning into ashes in a blink of an eye.

That's it?

Second Mrs. Cheng was a little stunned.

"What else is the matter, ma'am?" The voice of the handmaiden pulled her back to her senses.

"Ah, no, no, no." Second Mrs. Cheng hurriedly said as she got up, and said hurriedly when she thought of something, "What do you want from Jiaojiao?" Just let people come and me..."

Her voice was not broken. I saw the maidservant girl on the side looking at her with a smile.

"....and Banqin said. Just tell me what you need to do. Second Mrs. Cheng said in time.

The handmaid looked at her and did not speak.

These people in this room are weird. Second Mrs. Cheng didn't want to stay for a long time, so she hurriedly said goodbye.

Is that really it?

It's that simple?

Second Mrs. Cheng was still a little incredulous, and couldn't help but look back.

"What else can you do if you don't?" Second Master Cheng snorted when he heard this, "What is natural and righteous, she can do it if she doesn't follow the rules!" I also want this of mine to bother to deal with the aftermath! ”

He exhaled when he said this, and sat down with a few points, with a little indignation.

"Think about how much trouble she's gotten into me since I was a kid!"

"Kill the old lady, kill her mother, and I'm tired and my career is not going well."

"But now you're on a good footing." Second Mrs. Cheng reminded. "It's because of her."

"That's because the emperor is merciful and sage! Otherwise, I'd still be squatting on the Goshidai right now. Second Master Cheng raised his eyebrows and said.

Second Mrs. Cheng smiled and stopped talking.

Cheng Qiniang is so dislike and afraid of Cheng Jianniang, in the final analysis, she is afraid that she will take away her father's favor, in fact, why shouldn't she either.

Such a fairy disciple's daughter, who has money and can earn credit, if Second Master Cheng treats her as a bodhisattva and obeys her words, it will be a continuation, so that there is still their mother and son status in this family.

For this woman, she is really envious, afraid, wanted to be close and disgusted in her heart.

"Don't be cranky, the dust has settled now. Thou shalt arrange for men to go and make it clear to those who are concerned, lest they babble and say things that they should not say. We're tired. Second Master Cheng said.

Second Mrs. Cheng responded, happily going to see the brocade box.

On the last day of the Lantern Festival, Cheng Qiniang still couldn't go to the street to enjoy the lanterns as she wished, so she was angry that she had a lot of trouble at home, but Mrs. Cheng was busy with her feet and didn't have time to pay attention to her.

At the same time, the ten men and women sent by Mrs. Cheng's mother's family finally arrived, and Mrs. Cheng was like a tiger with wings, and hurriedly assigned them, a few stayed by her side, and a few were sent to the store.

"Timber?"

When they saw the people who were suddenly delivered, several of the shopkeepers were surprised.

"There's no shortage of people."

Seeing that the maidservant girl still looked like she was smiling, but Mrs. Cheng's reason became more and more smooth and confident.

"Do a full set of plays." She smiled, "It's all about making a show, just let them do a favor here and make a scene, don't take them seriously." ”

If you don't take it seriously now, what about later?

"Miss Banqin, this, this, is it really a change of owner?" Shopkeeper Wu asked.

"Or else? This time it's not an outsider, it's an insider, are we making trouble inside? Who is it for? The maidservant said.

"Yes, the family is righteous, and the laws of etiquette are on the table," the other shopkeepers sighed, "so what? ”

In this way, the personnel of the store seemed to be inadvertently changed slightly, and several people involved in the share dividend also received new documents.

"This" Fan Jianglin looked at the documents handed over, and slapped them on a few cases with a little annoyance, "I knew that something must be wrong!" ”

"What then?" Huang asked, a look of indignation.

Fan Jianglin was sullen for a moment.

What to do?

This kind of thing Cheng Second Master did was reasonable, he really didn't know what to do except find an opportunity to beat Cheng Second Master behind his back.

And this fight is naturally unbeatable, and when it gets into trouble, it can't help but ruin his future, and he will hurt his sister.

Fan Jianglin couldn't help but raise his hand and hit himself on the head hard.

This stupid brain has no idea at all, if only the third child was here.

Thinking of Xu Maoxiu, Fan Jianglin's throat couldn't help but ache, and he turned around to cover it up.

Compared with Fan Jianglin, who knows a little about the inside story of the father and daughter, the Li family's fireworks are much simpler.

Looking at the documents that were handed over, Master Li was a little stunned and a little ashamed.

"Guilty and guilty, I was negligent and almost hurt my mother's unfilial piety." He hurriedly said, while taking the replaced paperwork, he was busy asking people to find his own family and burn it in front of the steward sent by the second master Cheng.

"It's good to know, what would you do if your children and grandchildren did that? What's more, now my lord and lady are being watched closely......." Second Master Cheng's steward said with displeasure.

"Then you have to break your leg!" Master Li said categorically, while he was busy and bowed down, "Please forgive the lady and the master." ”

While talking, he presented a big red envelope.

The steward of the second master Cheng suddenly smiled, accepted the red envelope and said goodbye.

"But why did it go to her stepmother's name?" Li Mao frowned and said.

"Don't forget, Second Master Cheng is Second Master." Master Li said, twisting his beard, "The second master is the same....will also play this trick...."

At this point, he was clever and swept his gaze over the people in the hall.

"Speaking of which, it's time for our family to check it out." He looked solemnly and said, "Look at the dowry of this person's daughter-in-law in the family, how much she has earned in the past few years." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people in the hall changed.

In a big family that is not separated, in order to protect their own interests, there are many people who have to play some tricks, and the dowry of their wives is naturally a common tried and tested method.

Second Master Cheng will do this, and the children and nephews of the Li family will naturally do too, but I didn't expect this paper document to arouse Master Li's thoughts, it seems that this year is over here.

Li Mao didn't pay attention to the thoughts of other people in the hall, he didn't do this kind of thing before, and now he didn't look down on these petty profits, just looked at Master Li's fierce face, and his brows furrowed.

"The trick that the second master wants to play, the second master knows it in his heart, and you know it in your father, so is the eldest master of the Cheng family not clear in his heart?" He asked.
