Chapter 147: Ambush
Pearl believes that with Peng Jin's personality, she will definitely not take the opportunity to blackmail her into doing something embarrassing for her, so she dares to respond like this. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Peng Jin was very satisfied with Pearl's response, nodded, and said, "The first thing is to bother you to take the account books in the treasury and carefully look at the pair to see what is missing." In particular, some of these tiny gold objects, such as gold bills, must be counted carefully, and there must be no omission. ”
Pearl nodded hurriedly and replied, "The slave has written it down." ”
"How long do you think it will take to finish the inventory?" Peng Jin asked, "I don't have much time to wait. ”
Pearl also understands that Sanfang has been busy renovating the newly divided house in Lantern Lane in the past two days, and is busy packing up the boxes and cages in Yicui Courtyard, and he may move over at any time, so he can't wait for a long time.
After secretly calculating the things in the Min family's treasury, Pearl replied: "It will be tomorrow at the earliest, and at the latest, it is estimated that it will be dark." ”
Seeing that Peng Jin frowned and was not satisfied, Pearl hurriedly explained: "Third grandmother, this is already the fastest. If it is faster, the slave is afraid that something will go wrong. The old lady's treasury has also accumulated a lot of things over the years, and this matter cannot be told to others, so the slave and maid can only count it quietly, and have to prevent the old lady from giving other orders on a whim, it really can't be faster. ”
Peng Jin thought about it, what Pearl said was also reasonable, so he could only nod his head and urge: "Then you go back now, hurry up and count, remember as soon as possible." Once you've figured out what's missing, we'll talk about what to do next. ”
Pearl hurriedly thanked him again and hurriedly retreated.
Peng Jin saw Pearl trotting out of the courtyard through the window of the hugging building, and secretly prayed, hoping that Pearl could find out what property had been stolen as soon as possible.
Just after lunch, Peng Jin was counting whether there were any omissions in the cleaning of Liu Zhi's study, and Yunwu was also finishing up the warehouse cleaning up to prepare for tomorrow's move, and Pearl came sweating profusely.
"So fast!" This time it was Peng Jin's turn to be surprised, she thought that Pearl would have to be busy until the evening at the latest.
After all, today is the Double Ninth Festival, things are complicated, and as the big girl by the Min family's side, Pearl has to be busy non-stop.
Pearl Shili said: "Today's Double Ninth Festival, the house invited two classes of plays, so lively. When the old lady got up, she stayed in the water pavilion to listen to the play, and the slave and maid had no other errands to bother, so they naturally got things done faster. ”
There were people coming and going in the study, not a place to talk, so Peng Jin invited Pearl to hug Xiamen to talk in detail.
Listening to the babbling, lively singing, gongs and drums, and cheers from the water pavilion along the way, Peng Jin shook his head, no matter how many opera troupes and lively operas were, I am afraid that they will not be able to dispel the haze in everyone's hearts, and make the sincerity Bofu noisy and festive, which will only make the cold and lonely of the people's hearts more and more.
When they arrived at Baoxia, the master and servant sat down, and Pearl didn't wait for Peng Jin to ask, so she reported the stolen things to her one by one.
"There are eighteen gold coins weighing about two taels, twenty gold rings weighing more than one tael, a pair of gold bracelets weighing about four taels each, six gold chains weighing more than eight taels, and a total of about one hundred and ten taels of gold. Pearl still couldn't hide the shock on her face, and said hatefully, "I'm afraid that Miss Biao has already made up her mind, and she has already colluded with Mother Chen, and took advantage of the accident of the third master two days ago, and the house was in chaos, and she quietly stole things." ”
Min Rou's own bad idea, now she is going to suffer with her!
Peng Jin couldn't help but be stunned after listening to the number of pearls, she didn't see that Min Rou had the courage to steal enough thirty taels of gold to customize Cong Shi Youlan Jade Pendant, and even dared to take the opportunity to invest one hundred and ten taels of gold at a time.
Something worth about a thousand taels of silver!
Min Rou's guts are really fat!
Peng Jin shook her head and sighed: "I'm afraid that if she knew about the third master at that time, she wouldn't have taken the risk of stealing the old lady's treasury." Now, it's just her own doing! ”
At the risk of turning his face with the Min family and being driven out of the Chengyi Bo Mansion by the Min family, he went to steal the Min family's treasury, but Liu Shi had an accident, and everyone avoided it, and he was blind to the thirty taels of gold. Min Rou was not in a hurry to ask Baohualou for the gold, and quietly sent it back to the warehouse, intending to avoid the storm that was found out by the Min family!
"You wait, it's not you who is in a hurry now, it's her." Peng Jin calmed down, "In the past two days, you just watched the prison treasury in the open and dark, waiting for her to put back the stolen things, and then take her down in one fell swoop, only when she reached out to steal at that time." ”
In this way, the sin of pearl's negligence can be successfully escaped.
With Min Rou's temperament, when she came to Min's face, she was afraid that she would not have to say that she had stolen these things in advance, and now that she had figured it out, she planned to quietly put them back.
If that's the case, thinking of his own worth of a thousand taels of silver, he had already been secretly stolen by Min Rou, and the stingy Min family would not let go of the pearl that was negligent and overlooked, but he would not let go of Min Rou, who had already completed the theft!
When Pearl heard Peng Jin say this with such certainty, she knew that she had already made arrangements, and she was overjoyed, and solemnly bowed down and said: "The third grandmother saved the slave maid in fire and water today, and this kindness and slave maid will be remembered forever!" In the future, if the third grandmother has orders, as long as it is not beyond the duties of the slave and maid, the slave and maid will definitely do everything! ”
This was unexpected by Peng Jin.
She originally planned to settle all the grievances with the sincerity of the Bofu, and from then on the two had nothing to do with each other, and lived their own lives.
However, since Pearl has this thought, she can't take precautions, and in the future, Liu will know it, and the people in the Sincere Bofu want to regret it again and be entangled, so she has someone to deliver the news.
"You just have to have this heart." Peng Jin smiled, let Pearl get up, and asked, "Xiaomei should have told you, those things, about thirty taels of them were made into scattered gold by Miss Biao, and they have long been used to pay for the jade pendant carved by Baohua Building, and it is almost impossible to get it back." What are you going to do with this part of the loss? ”
Pearl gritted her teeth and said, "It's a big deal that the slave maid took out all her body savings over the years, borrowed some from others, re-cast them according to the original style, and put them in it to fill the number!" ”
As the eldest lady of Rongshoutang who has just taken office, even if she has saved a lot of money, it is estimated that she is far away from thirty taels of gold! (To be continued.) )
