However, it was said that on this day, Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin returned to Chengtian Mansion, and only then did they arrive at the gate of the prefect's yamen, and a disciple stepped forward to greet him: "The third master is back!" β
Jia Cong jumped off the horse and asked, "Is everything okay at home?" β
Menzi said: "The second master is arguing with people."
"Huh?"
Menzi said: "Isn't the wasteland opening order we got to get the land?" There's no need for a road guide yet. β
"yes." Jia Cong said, "What's wrong? β
Menzi said: "We are naturally proper, but people are not very happy." Many poor people and slaves from Fujian came over, and their manpower has plummeted, and they have come several times. This kind of thing has never been in the hands of the second master Lian, so he sent someone to invite Minister Lin. He lowered his voice and said, "It's a coincidence that every time I bump into our Lin Xiangye, I'm so busy that I don't have time to take care of them." This time, the governor of Fujian, Huang Wengang, came in person. β
"Oh." Jia Cong frowned, turned his head to Chen Ruijin and said, "I seem to have heard the name of this Huang Wengang." β
Chen Ruijin said: "He is the governor, he was originally the second master of Lian, and the third master should have heard of it." β
"It's not." Jia Cong said, "I've heard it elsewhere. He walked over the threshold and walked back from the side of the lobby. Those who are officials are better to let Jia Lian deal with them.
The back was not idle. Mrs. Huang was choking back tears and complaining to Wang Xifeng, saying how the families of those who had lost their tenants and slaves persecuted their masters, and how difficult their masters were. Who is Wang Xifeng? Immediately, he took a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped her tears, saying how desolate the Taiwan capital is, there are no people in the wilderness everywhere, and even the road is just a small dirt road. Second Grandma Lian is used to staying in Beijing, where can she stand this? Tears rolled down as if they didn't want money, and the crying pear blossoms brought rain, and the woman was heartbroken when she saw it. This Mrs. Huang is young, she was originally a continuation of Huang Wengang's marriage a few years ago, where have you seen this? turned his head to comfort Wang Xifeng. A daughter-in-law who came with Mrs. Huang coughed several times, and Ping'er hurriedly asked, "Sister, but she doesn't have a good voice?" "He commanded a man to soak in the fat sea.
The daughter-in-law sneered, glanced at their wives a few times, and was very anxious. Suddenly, he saw an eight-leaf hibiscus embroidered screen on the desk, and asked, "What a delicate job, girl, who embroidered this?" β
Ping'er said: "This is a Western glass screen. Our master was naughty, and smashed the glass when he was playing, so he went to the embroidery workshop and ordered an embroidery to make up for it. β
The daughter-in-law's eyes flashed, and she looked at the embroidery for a long time, and said, "Embroidery is rare." Does the girl know who did the embroidery? β
Ping'er suddenly felt that her expression was a little strange, and she hurriedly smiled: "I don't care about these embroidery products, I don't know." There are many embroiderers in other people's embroidery workshops, but they may not be done by one person. I heard that such a large piece is made by several embroiderers in the embroidery workshop. β
The daughter-in-law nodded: "Yes." Such a large amount of objects, one person can't do it. He looked around the embroidered screen for a long time.
For a while, Wang Xifeng fooled Mrs. Huang, Jia Lian denied Governor Huang, and the two members of the Jia family each sent the two members of the Huang family out of the house. Huang Wengang had a black face from the prefect's yamen, and as soon as he entered the post house, he scolded loudly, and after scolding Jia Lian, he scolded Mrs. Huang again.
The daughter-in-law who followed Mrs. Huang stepped forward and saluted, "Master, the slave has something to say." β
Huang Wengang glanced at her: "Say." β
The daughter-in-law said: "When the servant and his wife went to see Mrs. Jia in the back, they saw a table screen on the desk of their house, and I recognized the embroiderer. Nai stepped forward and said in a low voice, "It must have been done by the Liu Bao family who escaped from our house last year."
"What?!" Huang Wengang's eyes lit up, "Make it clear!" β
Daughter-in-law: "Back to the master, in the early years, I and Liu Bao's family were in the first wife's house, and she was called Furui at that time, do you remember?" β
Huang Wengang thought for a long time: "It seems that there is a person named Hibiscus, who is often in the same place with Rose?" β
"Exactly!" The daughter-in-law said, "Mrs. gave her and Rose to the fourth master." After a few years, when she was older, she was assigned to Liu Bao as her daughter-in-law. Later, Liu Bao died, and her mother-in-law complained that her life was hard and Kefu, and she couldn't bear to listen to the old man's chatter, so she ran away. β
Huang Wengang looked at her, and his face sank: "You read it right? β
The daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "The slave grew up with Hibiscus, learned needlework together, and did needlework together, and it was really real!" She must have done it. β
Huang Wengang nodded: "Good, excellent!" Nai gritted his teeth and said, "Jia Lian wants me to show evidence, and I'll show him the evidence!" Then he looked at the daughter-in-law, "If it is really a hibiscus, the master will reward you heavily!" The daughter-in-law hurriedly bowed down to thank her. Huang Wengang stroked his beard and said, "So, is the Jia family harboring the fugitive slaves in my house?" β
The daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "The aunt next to Mrs. Jia said that the embroidery was made by the embroidery workshop outside. β
Huang Wengang frowned and said, "Which embroidery workshop?" β
The daughter-in-law said: "She said she didn't know. β
Huang Wengang lowered his face: "I don't know where to find it?" There are more embroidery workshops. β
The daughter-in-law sneered and said: "Don't worry, don't mention that Master Jia is the prefect of Taiwan, just look at Mrs. Jia's all-round style, you know that if they order embroidery in their house, it must be in the best one in Chengtian Mansion." He added, "I have inquired on the way back, the best embroidery workshop in Chengtianfu is called Camellia Embroidery Workshop, at the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Zhongzheng Road. β
Huang Wengang praised "good, good, good", and ordered this daughter-in-law: "Go to the camellia embroidery workshop and keep an eye on it!" Find out the hibiscus! The daughter-in-law hung her head and led away, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
She then changed into bright clothes and went out for a walk, and the people looking for the post house inquired about how to get to Zhongshan Road and Zhongzheng Road. People tell sΓΉ to take a bus and a horse-drawn carriage. The daughter-in-law found the store of the Camellia Embroidery Workshop according to her words. When you get to the place, you can take a look, it is worthy of being the best embroidery workshop in Chengtianfu, all kinds of embroidery are available, all of them are good, and the price is extremely high. She became more and more convinced that the Jia family's embroidered screen was bought here. After walking around and finding several pieces of hibiscus craftsmanship, I had the bottom.
She then pointed to a strip of handkerchief, apparently made of hibiscus, and asked the shopkeepers, "This handkerchief is so finely made!" Who did it? β
The guy said, "You have a vision!" This is made by one of the best masters in our embroidery workshop. β
The daughter-in-law asked again: "What is this master's surname?" β
The guy shook his head with a smile and said, "The masters don't do work in the store, how do we know." β
The daughter-in-law said angrily: "I don't know if I said that it was the best master to do it, but it was obvious that it was coaxing me, didn't it?" β
The guy said: "It's not to coax you to be old, this Xipa brought a sign when he sent it, and the S-level is the best master." We only have a total of four S-level masters in Xiuzhuang. β
"That's exactly what happened." The daughter-in-law nodded and gritted her teeth secretly, "It's a good skill." Want to get a good salary? β
"We don't know much about that."
"Then where are all the masters of your embroidery workshop doing their work?" The daughter-in-law smiled, "I also have a little bit of the craft of tying flowers, maybe go to your embroidery workshop to try?" β
The guy "oops": "Co-author, you're here to apply?" Busy leading her outside, pointing to the road and showing her how to go, "It's our embroidery workshop." The daughter-in-law bent down to thank him, turned around and walked away.
Not long after, she found the Camellia Embroidery Workshop, dusted off her clothes and smiled at Menzi: "Little brother, I'm looking for the similar master Zeng in your embroidery workshop, I am her old neighbor." β
Menzi said: "Please wait. "I went in. The daughter-in-law knew that she had found the right person.
Who knew that after waiting for a long time, the man came out and said: "The S-level master in us has no surname Zeng." β
The daughter-in-law thought for a while: "Yes, she must have used her mother-in-law's surname." Is there anyone with the surname Liu? β
Menzi muttered: "You don't know what your surname is." The daughter-in-law hurriedly said good things, and Menzi had to run again. After a while, Menzi led a woman in her thirties out and said, "This is our Master Zhang." β
This daughter-in-law didn't recognize it at all! I had to say, "It's probably a mistake." "I complained again. The daughter-in-law smiled and said to Menzi for a long time, and wondered in her heart: It is clearly the needle and thread of Hibiscus, and it will never be mistaken.
She had no choice but to return to the post house and swore to Huang Wengang again and again: "The slave really recognizes Furui's craftsmanship, and many objects in the camellia embroidery workshop were embroidered by her." If you don't believe it, you can go to the embroidery shop and buy one and take it back. The flowers of Hibiza are among the best in our house, and many maids and daughters-in-law have collected the objects she used to make, and you can know it by comparison. β
Huang Wengang pondered: "In this case, she must have sincerely hidden." Nai snorted, "Since he is a slave of my family, even if he dies, he must be caught." "Immediately ordered to change his clothes, and then go to the prefect's yamen.
Jia Lian saw him go and returned, and hurriedly asked if there was anything wrong. Huang Wengang said: "Master Jia only said that there are no fugitive slaves in your Taiwan government, and now there is one in front of you. I have a daughter-in-law named Fu Rui in my house, and now she is working as an embroidery master in one of your camellia embroidery workshops. β
Jia Lian frowned: "The owner of this camellia embroidery workshop is a capable person, how can he take in fugitive slaves?" Could Lord Huang be mistaken? β
Huang Wengang said: "I'll know if I go and check it." Why don't you go over with the old man? β
Jia Lian thought for a while: "It's okay." Wait for the lower officer to change his clothes. β
Huang Wengang said: "Wouldn't it be bad to go in official uniforms?" β
Jia Lian waved his hand and said: "The official uniform is worn in the yamen, and it is inappropriate to wear it after leaving the yamen." Then he went back and changed his clothes.
When he got inside, he hurriedly shouted Wang Xifeng: "There is a fugitive slave from the Huang family in the embroidery workshop of Zhou Camellia?" β
Wang Xifeng was taken aback: "No, it's so coincidental?" β
Ping'er hurriedly said: "I'm just afraid of it." Just now I saw that the daughter-in-law who followed Mrs. Huang looked strange at the embroidery screen, so I sent someone to their embroidery village to say something. β
Jia Lian frowned and said, "I just told Lord Huang that there are no fugitive slaves in Taiwan. "Hurry up and send someone over again, so that the fugitive slave can go quickly!" Ping'er responded, but went outside to call a boy with fast legs, and asked him to go to Xiuzhuang to report the news. After thinking about it, he ordered someone to sue Jia Cong.
Jia Lian slowly changed into ordinary clothes, and when he came out, he only said, "Let the stinky boy stick to the trouble for a long time, and the adults have been waiting for a long time" Yunyun accompanied Huang Wengang into the carriage and ran up.
When I arrived at the Camellia Embroidery Workshop, the owner Zhou Camellia heard that it was Jia Zhifu who came in person and greeted her in person.
Jia Lian said: "Zhou Dongjia, this official won't go around in circles with you." Now someone has reported that there is a master in your embroidery workshop who is a fugitive slave. β
Zhou Camellia hurriedly said: "My lord, I have wronged the people's daughter!" The embroidery masters of the folk girls are all good people with Taiwanese household registration. β
Huang Wengang glanced at the daughter-in-law he brought, and she stepped forward and said, "It's a master." β
Camellia Zhou ordered someone to invite all the S-level masters in the embroidery village to come out. After a while, only three women came, none of whom were Furui from Huangfu. And said that there was a Master Yang who asked for leave and didn't come today. The daughter-in-law sneered: "Don't fool people with the Zhou Dong family. Even if we are adults from the second-grade governor Zhou Dongjia probably never put it in his eyes, Jia Daren is a dignified prefect from the fourth-grade Taiwan, is Zhou Dongjia not in his eyes? Huang Wengang gritted his teeth, and Jia Lian was a little embarrassed.
Camellia Zhou said: "How do you say this?" β
The daughter-in-law said: "When I came in, I saw a sign hanging outside of you, with the surnames and embroideries of the four masters, and there was no surname Yang, but there was a surname Zeng. Could it be that the one who is out there is not the highest level of master? I saw that the embroidery was clearly made of hibiscus. β
Zhou Camellia hurriedly said: "That's the old brand, and the people below are lazy and haven't changed it." Our master Zeng became a relative in the old years, and her husband was surnamed Yang. β
The daughter-in-law immediately said: "She is the Fluffie in our house!" Nai turned his head to Huang Wengang and said, "Fu Hui's original surname is Zeng!" β
Camellia Zhou smiled: "This sister-in-law is so neat. When you see a name tag with the surname Zeng outside of us, you will say that the person you are looking for is surnamed Zeng; If the name tag on the outside is surnamed Situ, presumably the person you lost will be surnamed Situ? β
Huang Wengang drank: "Presumptuous! How can the surname of the heavenly family be nonsense? β
Zhou Camellia said: "Our master Zeng really escaped from home. β
Huang Wengang hurriedly said: "In this case, hurry up and return this slave to this official!" β
Zhou Camellia said: "But I didn't escape from Lord Huang's house. She sighed lightly, "She was originally the niece of Lord Zeng Chun of Luzhou." Because the Zeng family had the intention to appease Du Dequ with Luzhou, they wanted to marry her to Du Dequ's son. The uncle of the Du family was born black and ugly, like the evil ghost around the Vajra Bodhisattva in the temple! She caught a glimpse by chance, was frightened, didn't dare to marry, and escaped. She shook her head again, "Although she ran away from home, she always thought about the Zeng family in her heart, so she asked someone to investigate." I heard a few days ago that the Zeng family is still going to marry the Du family. Since the niece and daughter escaped, she had to fill in with the eldest girl of the Zeng family. Our Master Yang felt uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that he was a little sorry for his cousin, and he was not very good in the past few days, so he didn't come to the embroidery workshop. β
Huang Wengang was stunned for a long time when he heard this: "This ......" Although this Fu Hui served in his own courtyard many years ago, because of his mediocre appearance, he really didn't know what this girl's surname was. And Luzhou Zeng Chunwei is really surnamed Zeng.
Camellia Zhou smiled bitterly: "If you don't believe it, you can only ask people to go to Luzhou to find out, whether Miss Zeng is discussing marriage with the Du family, and then look at what Uncle Du looks like, you will know whether what the girl said is true or false." β
She said it in a manner and in an orderly manner, and Huang Wengang didn't know whether to believe it or not. The daughter-in-law was anxious: "Master, it's really Fleur's needlework!" Minion recognizes! Fu Hui's real surname is Zeng. Her old son is still in our house, and she will know when you ask. Seeing that Huang Wengang was still holding his beard and thinking about not believing her, he gambled hatefully and swore an oath, "If the slave recognizes her needle and thread wrongly, the heavens and the earth will destroy the five thunders and thunder for all eternity!" β
At this time, Jia Cong, Chen Ruijin and Zeng's family were eavesdropping in the next room, Jia Cong couldn't help asking: "Sister Zeng, what kind of grudge does this sister-in-law have with you?" β
Zeng shook his head again and again: "She grew up with me as a child, and she has always been good friends and sisters!" β
