"This honey lion's head tastes great, you can taste it." Feng Yuan ordered a few signature dishes of Zhengyang Building, and knew that Lu Ying was the first to come back to the restaurant for dinner, so he gave him advice attentively.

The upstairs private room was full, so the two of them found a dining table near the window, only separated by a screen around them. The green warbler looked out curiously along the gap between the screens, this hall of Zhengyanglou is not small, the tables near the windows are placed on the screens, and there are people eating in them, and only the shadows are not clear.

Feng Yuan was funny, and he didn't need to stand Chun Qiao's hands, he sandwiched a piece of burnt tofu for her, and instructed: "Don't look, in the future, the master will often bring you here." ”

As he was talking, the screen was suddenly pushed away from the outside, Feng Yuan was displeased, turned his head to look, and only heard the man exclaim: "Brother-in-law, is it really you?" After speaking, he retreated, as if he had explained a few words to the adjacent table before coming in and sitting next to Feng Yuan.

"Zijian is also eating here?" Feng Yuan was quite pleased to see that he was his brother-in-law: "Who are you from?" ”

"The brothers who work with him in the command department." Only then did Tong Gu notice the green warbler opposite, rubbed his eyes, and fussed: "Brother-in-law, is she the little green warbler of the Liu family?" Sugar gourd Shih Tzu? ”

"Don't be chattering, I have already redeemed my life for her, and I have nothing to do with the Liu family." Thinking of something, Feng Yuan asked him, "I heard that you have been having a hot fight with a little widow who runs a ready-to-wear shop recently?" ”

"Hey, hey." Tong Gu rubbed his hands, licked his face and smiled: "Let my brother-in-law smile, and there is nothing to do, just walk closer, and let her cut two clothes for her brother on weekdays." ”

Feng Yuan looked helpless, and couldn't stop nodding at him: "You kid!" will open their eyes and tell nonsense! After a pause, he shook his head and advised: "If she is a person who can serve people and do her duty, you can put her out and have a serious place to relieve her boredom as a child." Ready-to-wear shops are full of people, and it is always ugly for officials to run there, which is not good for your future future. If you don't have a house, I'll give you one. ”

Tong Gu thought about it for a while, and felt that his brother-in-law's words were reasonable, but why was it so troublesome, and the family would not disagree with accepting a concubine, so Han Han asked: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, my brother has a few houses." The younger brother pondered that he would get along again, wouldn't it be easy to carry him into the house when the time came? The brother who is cold and snowy is too lazy to toss. ”

"It's been nearly a year since I joined the Command Division, why is it still a wooden fish brain." Feng Yuan frowned, hating iron and not steel.

Seeing his brother-in-law like this, Tong Gu was a little clear, and hurriedly explained: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, that little widow is a widow, and she died before the unlucky husband in the church, and she is indeed clean." ”

"Who said that?" Feng Yuan led him to enlightenment with a solemn face: "You think the gate of your Tong Mansion is the city gate, and what fragrant and smelly things are carried inside?" Everyone's beautiful little jasper doesn't lift, do you have to lift such a thing? After showing up, the words engraved on the soles of the shoes are flowers, and it is estimated that the men in Bianjing can see it clearly. You go and listen to it, none of the big families in Bianjing will accept such a concubine, only the ruffians and scoundrels in the land will be. Do you want to be the first class of them, and become the laughing stock behind your colleagues in the future? ”

"Uh, no, no, no!" He hurriedly waved his hand at his brother-in-law and begged for mercy: "It's just a fun thing, my brother doesn't want to be poked in the backbone because of this, brother-in-law doesn't want to say anything more, my brother is in a cold sweat." ”

"Yes, it's good that you understand. Speaking of business, I heard a while ago that your aunt added another kid to your father-in-law? ”

Tong Gu grinned, scratched the back of his head, and smiled happily: "Yes, my aunt gave birth to a big fat boy of five pounds and fourteen taels, and my father is so happy." ”

"You also hurry up, you haven't seen any movement after a few years of marriage, and you can't always go outside, and it is the grandmother of the main house who can give you a son-in-law."

If there is no one next to Uncle Lang, the green warbler tastes the same as chewing wax, like sitting on pins and needles.

Feng Yuan's words were like a sharp sword, first picking off the fig leaf on her body, and then the punishment of Ling Chi with thousands of knives, making her cry bitterly and bloody. Be in the spotlight? Lose face? Therefore, in this life, he never planned to let her into the house.

Speaking of which, it is not the first time he has said insulting things, but the verbal humiliation in the past was said when he was angry. Green Ying felt that what she said when she was angry inevitably had some negative meanings, and she was inaccurate. But this time, when Feng Yuan said contemptuous and disdainful words to her brother-in-law with a serious face, like a loving father advising his young son, she knew that it was her wishful thinking in the past, and what he said when he was angry was always sincere!

Feng Yuan didn't notice the strong smile of the green warbler, and after the meal, he took her hand and went to the largest jewelry store in Bianjing, Jubaolou.

The shopkeeper lifted the lid of several boxes and spread them out one by one, and the green warbler was bored to pick and choose, and was still elated when she went out.

Feng Yuan saw her rubbing, so he stretched out his head to look into the box, frowned and waved his hand at the shopkeeper, "Take the good ones out, we can't look down on these things." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The shopkeeper smiled with a wrinkled face, carefully took out a half-foot square pear blossom wooden box, opened the lid, and there were indeed a few treasures inside. The green warbler saw a step shake inside, picked it up and looked closer, the hairpin body is real gold, the hairpin tail is a red lily, and the tassel is made of carp-shaped mutton fat white jade.

"Hehe, this is a good thing, look at the lily, it is carved with the best blood jade, lifelike." The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said tentatively: "If this lily blood jade step shake master is in the match, two hundred and fifty taels of silver can be bought, this is the only one in the world." ”

Feng Yuan turned a deaf ear, and only lowered his head to ask the green warbler: "How about this one?" He reached out and picked up a pair of earrings and measured them beside her cheeks.

"The old man's eyes are bright, these earrings are from Xiangjiang warm jade, and they are very supportive." The shopkeeper took a look, this is a generous master, and hurriedly took out a palm-sized box out of nowhere, "A small look will show that the lord is by no means a mortal, look at this best thing, the night pearl of the Southern Dynasties, when the country was broken, Emperor Guangqing hurriedly fled and brought it out, and then I don't know where it fell, and the small one was also unintentional for the first time." ”

The Night Pearl is a priceless gadget in the market, one is expensive, and the other is rare. Mo said that the green warbler was looking at it strangely at this time, and even Feng Yuan had never seen it. At this time, this bead is about two fingers wide, milky white and round, shimmering, revealing a sense of grace.

"The two of you don't know, the benefits of this night's pearl can only be revealed when it gets dark." As he spoke, he bowed down and led them to the room behind them, "The two of you, please come with the little one and inspect the pearl of the night." ”

The three of them entered a small hall, and Chunqiao covered the door tightly from the outside. There seemed to be no windows in the room, and the lights were not lit at this time, and it was dark. The green warbler was a little frightened, and clutched Feng Yuan's sleeve tightly.

Suddenly, the heavens and the earth opened, the chaos disappeared, and the room was brightened. The shopkeeper holds the box, and the night pearl is like a moon girl, shining like the Milky Way.

Step shake, ear pendant, night pearl, spent nearly two thousand taels, Lu Ying suddenly felt relieved, and secretly thought in his heart: the next time he is angry, he will spend his silver fiercely!

In the distance, a mule cart was stopping, and it was Feng Qi's and Feng Tong's concubines sitting inside.

Feng Qishi rubbed his eyes, still unsure, and patted the person next to him: "Brother and sister, why do I look at that person's side face as if it is an uncle, do you see?" ”

Lifting the curtain of the car again, Feng Tongshi glanced casually, and saw several subordinates holding boxes and hugging a pair of men and women. The two were intimate, and the woman accompanied the man, like a bird, until he came to a wide mule cart, and the man led the woman to the cart.

"Really, isn't it?" Feng Qishi looked at her and didn't answer, so he urged.

The corners of the face are well-defined, the body is straight, and the new vermilion clothes are newly cut a year ago, which one is not Feng Yuan? Feng Tong lowered his eyes and said softly: "Sister-in-law is wrong, my lord went to a colleague's mansion, how can he hang out on the street." ”

Her face was indifferent, but her heart was full of blood and blood. Although he didn't know who the woman was, Feng Tong just felt that there was no doubt that that person must be the outer room. is wearing a green dress, and just looking at the silhouette can't hide the plumpness, and Man Bianjing can't find a few such fat.

Hmph, like a big fat pig! What little birds depend on people, I bah! It's a pig tied to the tree! I scolded the vixen in my heart, and I felt much better. But as soon as he thought that the two of them came out of the Treasure Building, and the family wealth was not known how much the woman had taken away, he began to itch his teeth again.

She sulked to herself, Feng Qishi didn't see that something was wrong, and said excitedly: "Brother and sister, let's go to Linglong Pavilion." Our Xuan'er needlework is not a top thing, the wedding dress has been embroidered for a whole year, you can borrow me a few embroiderers, so I can teach her. ”

She couldn't hide her jealousy in her words, and she smoked sourly: "If you want to say, when the family was separated, this Linglong Pavilion was returned to your room, which made me greedy for a long time." ”

When Feng Tong heard this, he forgot that he was angry, he was proud in his heart, but he said angrily: "Sister-in-law, who are you and whom, my family is not your family, tell me, when did you go to collect your money?" Isn't it like your own? ”

After a pause, she covered her mouth again and complimented her eldest sister-in-law: "What about the things in your big house, look at the fields in the suburbs, how many treasures have been dug up?" This comparison, what is Linglong Pavilion? ”

Feng Qi was happy to be flattered, and the two of them went to Linglong Pavilion affectionately.

But as soon as he mentioned the matter of borrowing the embroidery girl, before he said three words, the shopkeeper rejected it completely. Feng Tongshi suddenly exploded: "What? This is my shop, what kind of thing are you, and you dare to contradict the owner? ”

The shopkeeper bowed and bowed, his face was full of respect, but his mouth was resolute: "Mrs. contains, Linglong Pavilion has changed to a new owner, if the embroidery lady goes out, the villain will ask the owner, and" The shopkeeper pointed to the embroidery sample in her hand, and said embarrassedly: "Mrs. Lao, this must be four taels of silver"

Feng Tong's eyes were like bells, and he was so angry that he almost didn't faint.

Feng Qi was already stunned, looking at her in a daze, obviously not knowing which play this was singing. Feng Tong only felt that his face was swept to the ground, and he asked with a sigh of relief: "This Linglong Pavilion has been in the hands of my master for more than ten years, and I haven't heard of when the master changed hands." If you can't tell me why, I will tell my lord and throw you in prison! ”

"This" shopkeeper is embarrassed, that person is your master's good friend, if I sue you, I am not cheap.

"Speak quickly!"

Feng Tong's shout woke up Feng Qi's, she looked at the gradually more onlookers outside the door, her face turned red, she pulled Feng Tong's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Brother and sister, there must be some misunderstanding, let's go home, when you ask your master, don't be entangled, it's embarrassing." ”

Feng Tong could only nod helplessly.

After returning home, she didn't bother to take a sip of tea, so she called Steward Feng.

Flipping through a bunch of account books, this look, my heart was completely cold, and the account books of Linglong Pavilion were really gone.

Is it sold? Why sell? Or is it a gift? Who did it give it to?

After summoning Mama Song's eldest son Ding Pei and telling him, the man answered and went out quickly to Tong's mansion.

Mama Song stepped forward: "Madam, most of the deeds of this house are not stored in the Yamen." "Most of them in order to avoid the deed tax, the two parties make a deed privately, but the road is clear.

There was an incense burner burning in the house, Feng Tong looked at the smoke in a daze, and said with a wooden face: "There is no other way, let's check and see first." ”

Mama Song nodded, and said suspiciously: "Then why didn't Mrs. Hou ask Mrs. Hou to help, why did she go to find Tong Mansion?" ”

"Hmph," Feng Tongshi sneered, "If I want to find out a disgraceful person, won't I become a laughing stock, how can I still gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion?" She sighed gloomily, "I can only look for my mother, she will definitely let my uncle do this." ”

Mama Song was still a little inexplicable, and when she turned these words back and forth in her heart, she was dumbfounded: "Mrs. is saying that the master will be this exquisite pavilion"

"Hahahaha." Feng Tongshi laughed out of tears, wiped it with a handkerchief, and leaned his cheeks in the circle chair, "Other than this, I really can't imagine that this master of our family will be so poor that he will sell shops to live." ”

"Madam, is it possible to honor your boss?"

Feng Tong looked at Mama Song fixedly, and looked at her hair, and then said with a gloomy face: "Linglong Pavilion earns tens of thousands of taels of silver every year, what do you think can make the master give away this old hen that can lay golden eggs?" Squinting her eyes, she continued: "But if he really respects others, for Yuan'er to have a good future, I won't care, otherwise," she slapped the handrail fiercely, gritted her teeth and said: "Hmph, I will never give up!" ”

When it was dark, the little guy who followed Feng Yuan out came back and said that the master was not at home today, and Feng Tong didn't have the heart to have dinner alone, so he just sat and waited for Ding Pei.

After waiting until it was dark, Ding Pei hurriedly entered the door and replied in a low voice: "Madam, the current owner of Linglong Pavilion is Li Luying." ”

"Li Luying?" Feng Tong raised his eyebrows.

Ding Pei only thought about it, lowered her head and considered: "It's the maid green warbler that the wife asked the villain to check." ”

Feng Tong looked at Mama Song, and said in a strange tone: "Nurse, what am I talking about?" You still don't believe it. The voice fell, she raised her arm and swept it, and the cups on the table were shattered, and she said sharply: "Is he Feng Yuan crazy?!" ”
