When she got up in the morning, Li Wei didn't expect her to shrink in the arms of the fourth master. It was supposed to be a little hot to sleep like this in April, but she only felt warm and comfortable even the tips of her toes.

After waking up, she rubbed it, and the fourth master smiled on the top of her head.

When she got up, she looked at the table and saw that it was almost seven o'clock. It is said that the thirteenth master came over last night, and the fourth master should go to the front early in the morning. According to his usual time of getting up, it was really a bit late to get up at seven o'clock.

When washing, the fourth master asked Su Peisheng, "Have you gotten up from the thirteenth master?"

Su Peisheng rarely came into the house to wait today, he personally brought mouthwash to the fourth master, and said with a smile, "The slave thought that the thirteenth master should be tired last night, so he told them not to wake up." I just asked someone to ask, and said that the Thirteenth Master is still asleep at this time. ”

The fourth master wiped his face, nodded and said, "You did a good job." ”

Su Peisheng immediately smiled and was moved, and followed behind the fourth master. Li Wei, who was next to her, accidentally witnessed the innocent smile of Father-in-law Su, and almost dropped her eyeballs.

…… Last night's excitement was a bit big, and it was not quite right to look at Father-in-law Su.

After breakfast, the fourth master went back to the front, and before leaving, he told her to pack her things and return to Beijing tomorrow.

After sending him away, Li Wei was still a little dull. In short, it's as if the whole shijie is separated from her by a thick membrane. Her feelings, feelings, and reactions to this shijie were not so clear.

Thankfully, sanity is still there. She asked Jade Bottle to learn everything that happened outside last night, and heard that Cheng first kicked over the flower pot to wake them up.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have someone lock me in the house." The jade bottle is afraid when it thinks about it. If they were all locked in the house, they wouldn't even be able to escape if something happened.

"Oh, you go and open the box, and last night you were rewarded with five taels of silver. Cheng Xian gave it to him alone, so that no one could see it. Li Wei said.

The jade bottle went to do things, and the second grid arrived. Last night, without waiting for a message to be passed to them, it turned out to be a false alarm. But in the morning, when they got up and were about to go to Fujin to say goodbye, the grandmother in the courtyard said that they didn't have to go today, and said that if they wanted to play on the Zhuangzi today, they should not run far, because there were people in the Zhuangzi.

Ergege asked again, but Mama didn't know much. But according to her own eunuch, something seemed to have happened last night, and they had slept in the lower room, and they slept until midnight when they were called to wake up, and they all put on their clothes and shoes, but they were not allowed to move around, and they were all locked in the house.

It wasn't until this morning that the door was opened and they were let out.

Yuyan next to her trembled when she heard this, it seemed that they were only one step away from last night, and they should have asked someone to lock them in the house.

Li Wei said calmly: "It's not a big deal, your thirteenth uncle came in the middle of the night, which surprised the people in Zhuangzi." He's ahead now, and when your brother comes, it'll be clearer if you ask him. ”

Sure enough, just like she said, the fourth master was talking to the thirteenth master in front, and he definitely didn't have time to discipline a few more small ones. Hongyu and Hongyun reviewed the new article by themselves, and came over after completing the transcription. A few small ones got together and talked about it.

Seeing this group of children, the shijie in front of her gradually became distinct.

Finally, I have a down-to-earth feeling again. Li Wei clasped her hands and took a few deep breaths slowly. Ask someone to start asking them to pack their bags. A few children playing on the side found out, and Hiroshi first said, "Are you going back home again?" ”

Hongyun also said: "I came here only the day before yesterday." ”

No matter how much they talked, the luggage was repacked by the afternoon.

The next day, they set out for the city.

The Thirteenth Master took the first step and didn't go back with them. He had just arrived at the gate of the mansion and had not yet dismounted, the ninth master and the fourteenth had arrived, and they all rushed over on horseback, so that the thirteenth laughed and said, "Is this going to take me to the hall?" ”

The ninth master gave him a blank look: "Thirteen, I haven't seen it yet, you are bold enough." ”

Fourteen jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "It's still my thirteenth brother who is angry." Thirteenth brother, guess how many people can come to your house in half an hour? ”

The three of them entered the mansion, and Zhao Jia's got the news that the thirteenth master was back, as well as the ninth and fourteenth masters, and as soon as they came back, they went directly to the study. Since yesterday, she has not been in this house, her sixth sister came in person, and she didn't know anything when she asked her, and the sixth sister cried angrily: "You asked me to inquire about you, your brother-in-law and I are busy asking people around, okay, this time the thirteenth master is back, oh, I can't even hear the truth?" ”

Zhao Jia's family is about to die unjustly!

"He came back and ran away without even drinking saliva! Do I still want to hear the truth? Who told me? ”

But there were too many people coming, and Zhao Jiashi began to be afraid. The Thirteenth Master walked too happily and threw this mess to her! She told people to close the door of the mansion, unless the thirteenth master came back, no one would be called in!

Seeing that they had caught the Thirteenth Master this time, Zhao Jiashi suddenly felt relaxed. Her personal maid asked, "What about the master...... If our master really has something important, you don't care? ”

"Did he take care of me?" Mega Chia's airway. The girl didn't dare to speak, and Zhao Jiashi said after a while: "...... Tell someone to go and see it in two quarters of an hour, and if they force him to ask your master, tell him to get out of the house quickly. ”

The girl hurriedly asked, "Then what is the reason?" ”

Zhao Jiashi sneered: "Let's just say that his heart and liver baby is uncomfortable!" ”

On the other side, in the study of the thirteenth master. After the ninth master and the fourteenth came in, they sat down to drink tea and chat.

Fourteen asked first: "By the way, Brother Thirteen." What about Yang Guowei? ”

As soon as he opened his mouth coldly, there was silence in the study. The ninth master gently blew the tea foam with the tea bowl and stared at the thirteen.

Thirteen said nonchalantly: "Oh, he is too tired to follow me all the way, so he has already asked him to go back and rest." He was given half a month's leave. ”

Fourteen immediately continued: "Being able to follow the emperor to Jiangnan is a blessing that no number of people can ask for." What's there to be tired of? Thirteenth brother, you also feel too sorry for the people under your hands. ”

Thirteen laughed and said straight to the point: "Come on, don't beat around the bush." Don't you want to ask the Cao family about the repayment of the silver? ”

The Ninth Master and the Fourteenth quickly exchanged glances. They didn't expect Thirteen to say that. The ninth master put down the tea bowl and leaned forward in the fourteenth: "Thirteenth brother, can you tell my brother what is going on?" ”

Thirteen smiled, "No." ”

"Cut." Fourteen was relieved. Thirteen's tight mouth means that there is indeed something wrong here. If there is something, you can do it, and what you are afraid of is that it will be fine.

The ninth master got up and said, "You just came back and went to the fourth brother's Zhuangzi, you must be tired at this time." We won't bother you. ”

Fourteen stared at Thirteen with unkind eyes, and wanted to ask him why he went to find the fourth brother as soon as he came back, but the ninth master urged him to hurry up and leave together, so he had to forget it first, and did not forget to say to Thirteen before leaving: "Thirteenth brother, I came to you for a drink at night." ”

Thirteen waved his hand and sent the two masters away.

The ninth master and the fourteenth master each got on their horses at the gate of the thirteenth master's mansion. The ninth master asked Fourteen, "Will you go with me to the starling?" ”

"No, no." Fourteen plans to go back to the mansion first, and then either go to the thirteenth mansion or go to the fourth brother's mansion in the evening.

The ninth master was not reluctant, the two of them just bumped into each other, and temporarily asked Thirteen together, who knew that Thirteen was so single, so he almost said, 'There is indeed a problem with the debt, but I won't tell you'.

Isn't this something they were asked to look into?

The two separated, and the ninth master went to the eighth master's mansion. Entering the door and sitting down, the tea had just been served, and before he could say anything about the thirteenth, a man came from outside: "Four Baylors have returned home." ”

The eighth master immediately stood up, picked up his hat and said, "Hurry up, it's time to call the fourth brother to run away if it's too late." ”

The two of them quickly arrived in front of the Fourth Master's Mansion, and sure enough, a bunch of people were already around. The mule carts behind are blocked and can't move, and there are still people coming this way.

Although the eighth and ninth masters were on horseback, they couldn't squeeze through.

"Oh my God!" The ninth master sighed, "If the fourth brother dares to dismount, he can make them tear up." ”

In the mule cart, Li Wei was also shocked. The guards tightly surrounded the car, and the driver was trying to turn the car around, Su Peisheng squeezed over and his hat fell off, shouting: "Turn around!" Turn around! Go from behind! ”

Through the curtain of the car window, she saw the fourth master in front of the house. No wonder before entering the city, he asked Honghui to also enter Honghui's carriage, it turned out to be like this.

In this way, the fourth master looks like an uncle who owes money.

Watching the mule carts leave, the fourth master asked the guards to drive away the crowd and hurriedly entered the house through the front door. Su Peisheng led people to stop people behind, and begged the adults to go back first, you can leave a post, and we will definitely send it to the fourth master Yunyun immediately.

When Li Wei arrived at the East Courtyard, she didn't expect the fourth master to be there. She thought he would be in the study at the front.

"I'm here to explain a few things to you. This time, the master has been on an errand for a long time, and he probably can't come back often, so these children in the house will be handed over to you. It's time for Hiroshi to move to the front this year...... Don't stare, it's time to move. The fourth master still had the heart to tease her for a few words.

It can be seen that the problem is not big. She said to herself.

"There are probably a lot of people who have come to the house recently, and if they are happy, they will see it, and if they are not happy, they will ask everyone to block it. Your mother's side told your brother not to run away recently, and wrote a letter to your Amma, saying that he could rest assured. ”

Li Wei heard about Li Wenbi's lending of silver to others, and the fourth master should already know about it, and probably have an idea.

"Fujin, you can give up a few more points. She has something she can't think of, so if you think of it, just do it. But don't make a fuss......" When the fourth master said this, he saw Su Su's eyes shining at him, so that he couldn't help but want to laugh, touched her face, and said in a soft tone: "Okay, the master knows that Su Su is measured." If she goes too far, it doesn't matter if you top it up a few times. I'm busy outside, but I don't want you to be angry in the back. ”

"I never make a fuss." Li Wei felt that she was very innocent.

"Su Su is the most well-behaved." The fourth master took a sip of incense on her face.

The fragrance made her heart soften, and her temper disappeared. Only then did he put his arms around her and whispered: "The matter of the household department owing silver, no one in Beijing can escape." Didn't you see the emperor hiding out? I can't hide. The more stable you are in the house, the more reassuring you can be when you are outside. ”

Li Wei just wanted to make a small effort, and she was still obedient when she finished it. At this time, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

I heard that after the fourth master returned to the front yard, he only explained a few words and left through the back door with someone. The door of the house was immediately closed, and even the post was not accepted.

A few days later, just like the fourth master said, he lived in the household department, and only asked someone to come back to get a change of clothes. There is still a steady stream of posts in front of Kefu.

Listening to Zhao Quanbao, the people who led the yamen in the infantry army all ran here a few more times. She joked: "Could it be that there are still people who dare to break into Baylor Mansion?" ”

Zhao Quanbao shook his head and whispered, "That's not it...... The minions heard that someone wanted to hang themselves at the gate of our house......"

"So, what about the man?" Li Wei reacted after a while.

Zhao Quanbao said: "I heard that he was sent to the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army, and said that he was just an ordinary bannerman. ”

How could an ordinary flag man have the courage to hang himself in front of the Sibeile Mansion? This is clearly ghostly.

In the lobby of the household department, the two Shangshu Kaiyinbu and Li Zhenyu both fell ill. Only the fourth master sat in the lobby, next to the thirteen. The two waiters below are suffering from not having the courage to complain about illness, don't you see that the two Shangshu families have asked the fourth master to send the imperial doctor? I heard that I will stay at Shangshu's house, when I will be well, when I will be allowed to go home.

Now the fourth master only asks the two of them about anything.

After staying up for almost a night, the fourth master got up and rubbed his neck, and the thirteenth hurriedly called the eunuch to come forward and wait, and said, "Fourth brother, why don't you rest?" ”

The two waiters had already sat stiff, but they didn't dare to move. The rest of Lang Zhong and Wai Lang were all tied to the rooms on both sides of the lobby, and everyone had not been home for more than half a month.

The fourth master nodded and said to the two waiters, "You guys should also go and disperse." ”

The two of them hurriedly got up and saluted and retreated.

There were only four masters and thirteen left in the lobby, and the two of them were much more relaxed. Thirteen even punched once, and the tiger was vigorous. The fourth master stood aside with tea and watched, and said with a smile: "Thirteen, this punch is getting better and better." ”

Thirteen originally wanted to make the fourth master happy, he is such a big person, and he feels embarrassed to be such a child.

After collecting his fist, he was already a little tired of the more than half a month, and sighed: "Fourth brother, when will this matter come to an end?" ”

The fourth master smiled and asked him, "What?" Thirteen tired? ”

Thirteen let out a long sigh.

The fourth master put down the tea, asked him to sit down, and said: "The Cao family is still fake, and the emperor is still maintaining it like this, so others will naturally not be reconciled." The emperor is not here, they can't make trouble with the emperor, so they can only be angry with us. ”

Thirteen also understood. The prince exchanged for silver, not silver, but to expose the Cao family's fake things to the world, so that everyone in the world doubted the Cao family.

Otherwise, just by taking money from the Jiangnan official treasury, there are still a few people who can know.

Thirteen brought fake silver into Beijing, he was already weak-hearted, and he refused to open the yellow seal to make people weigh the silver openly, how could it not attract attention when he tossed it back and forth? If you are interested in checking it again, you will naturally understand it clearly.

Now it is said that the 800,000 taels of silver returned by the Cao family are actually the treasury silver of the Jiangnan official treasury, and they all have stamps on them. I didn't dare to open the box if I didn't see the thirteenth master?

Even if the people in Beijing were willing to pay back the money, they would now have to make a discount. Why did the Cao family get such a great favor? And why did they suffer this loss?

The fourth master figured it out as early as the thirteenth after bringing silver into Beijing. The Cao family, the first person to repay the silver, did not have a good head, and the rest of the arrears wanted to be recovered smoothly, which was a pipe dream.

But he was not afraid that this errand would be difficult. No matter how difficult it is, as long as it can be done in the emperor's heart, it will be his credit. Just like the Cao family, the clothed minions have been entrenched in Jiangnan for decades, relying on them to win the emperor's trust.

Seeing that Thirteen was still listless, the fourth master stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Thirteen, no matter how difficult the errand is, let's do our best, the emperor will always see it." ”

That's what he wants.

Thirteen's faith is not as strong as that of the fourth master, "But I heard...... Someone ran to the door of the fourth brother's mansion to hang himself, and the sisters-in-law and nephews were just afraid that they would be frightened. Fourth brother, do you want to go back and take a look? ”

The fourth master counted the days and nodded: "Yes, you should also go back and have a look." ”

And they got up, and called the servants in and waited for them, and told them to prepare their horses.

They walked out slowly, and the people who saw it on both sides of the house were very envious. The masters can go, but they can't.

After getting on the horse, the two of them were not in a hurry with the guards, and slowly rode their horses forward.

Thirteen talked about the person who hanged himself: "I heard that the person who called the infantry army to lead the yamen was kidnapped, and the fourth brother didn't ask someone to ask?" ”

The fourth master sneered and whipped a whip: "What is there to ask?" Isn't that just those guys? ”

On the Eighth Master's Mansion, the Eighth Master said: "The one who hanged is optimistic, don't cause anything else." ”

The ninth master was curious: "Why don't you see the fourth child in a hurry?" For such an unfortunate thing, I thought he would be angry. ”

The person who hanged himself was just making a fuss, and what the eighth master wanted to see was the reaction of the fourth master. He didn't answer the words of the ninth master, "Thirteen, I still don't think it's right." ”

The Ninth Master didn't expect that the Eighth Master was still paying attention to this, "Brother Starling, didn't the outside say that the Thirteenth knew that the Cao family sent it back to Beijing was the treasury silver, so he didn't dare to ask someone to check?" ”

"Do you really believe it?" The eighth master shook his head, got up and paced to the window: "I don't believe that the Cao family is so stupid, they don't know how to melt the silver again." If the silver is really fine, why is the thirteenth Fujin in a hurry to redeem the silver ticket? The little money on the thirteen mansions was all asked to sell to her. ”

"So what?" The ninth master said, "This matter has little to do with Thirteen. It can't be thirteen silvers lost, right? ”

After saying this, both of them were suddenly stunned.

The ninth master reacted and immediately said, "This is impossible, this is 800,000 taels, not 800,000 taels." It's all cash. From the time he left Suzhou City, he was accompanied by at least 200 guards, including 5 or 600 people escorting the car. Not to mention losing a box of silver, it is impossible to lose a piece. ”

"That is, before leaving Suzhou City." The eighth master seemed to have caught a big fish, and his excited eyes lit up.

The ninth master fell softly on the chair instead: "...... Starling, you wait, brother, I'm a little dizzy. ”

The eighth master didn't listen to him, he quickly turned around the house a few times, and couldn't help but call someone in and said, "Go and ask Mr. He to come over." ”

"Starling, what are you looking for He Zhuo to do at this time?" The Ninth Master couldn't react for a while.

"His ancestral home is Jiangsu, and I asked him to go back to his hometown to visit relatives." The eighth master smiled.

The Fourth Master's Mansion, in the East Courtyard.

Before the fourth master entered the door, someone came over, and Li Wei asked someone to prepare hot water and food for bathing. When he entered, she pushed him and said, "Go and take a dip." ”

It's nearly May, and no matter how cool it is in the lobby, it's not as particular as in the house. After taking off the fourth master's clothes, she saw that there were mosquito bitten red bumps on his arms and neck. Look down again, even on the thighs.

She asked Jade Bottle to bring aloe vera cream, and this mosquito treatment bag is still a trick she learned in modern times.

When he had taken a bath, she rubbed him with the medicine, and after the above was pointed, he was about to get dressed, and she stopped and said, "Wait, there's another piece." She dipped the plaster and reached down, startling him, only to realize that there was also a piece on the back of the thigh, and he laughed: "It's called mosquito bites when you go to the toilet." ”

"It's too sinful." She said.

He changed his clothes, and she watched him eat. I heard that they ate well in the lobby of the household department, and people asked for a table to be delivered to the household every day. So when she got home, she prepared noodles for him.

"Were you scared the other day?" He asked.

She knew he was talking about the man who had hanged himself: "No. She shook her head and said, "I only found out after the fact, and I haven't seen anything like it, but I heard that I have been arrested." ”

"Are you afraid?" He teased her. The last time Thirteen broke into Zhuangzi, she was scared.

"A little." She nodded, worried, "You'd better be careful outside." This person is crazy, hanging himself at the door of our house to ruin your reputation, who knows what those people will do next time? ”

"Don't worry. They can only make this means too. As long as you are in the house, you will be fine. ”

Li Wei said worriedly: "This person must have a good reputation for everything." She always felt that now was the beginning of the fourth master's scolding in history.

The fourth master sighed softly, pulled her into his arms, hugged her and patted her, and said softly: "It's okay, the master is not afraid of this." ”

He doesn't care about getting a good name now. When he achieves what he wants, let's try to get this good name again.

The author has something to say: good night everyone, see you tomorrow
