"Congwan was taken away by her sister." Rong'er replied with a smile.

Xue Shiyong gasped, no wonder Anping Mansion was willing to give Conglan such a generous dowry, and it turned out that Congwan was sent together.

It's no wonder that Mrs. Anping actually came out to see his father and son, and she didn't give them an ugly face, it turned out that she had already sent Sister Conglan to them.

"If you chase after Xiyongzhou now. You may also be able to meet Sister Conglan and see if the husband's family that Anping Mansion found for Conglan is really richer than the one you found for her. Gu's pun was also to send them away.

Xue Shiyong was speechless.

Xue Ruofeng's head was nimble, and it was useless to stay any longer, so he followed Gu's words, "Then we won't stay any longer, and we will have to see Shangconglan and them, so that I can give my grandmother some comforting words to go back." ”

Xue Shiyong stood up stiffly, "We take our leave. ”

"The second uncle just came back. There is still a lot of work to be done in the house. I will not send you away. If your horse is not fast enough, I can ask Lyder to pick you a horse for the march. "Gu's speech is now more inconspicuous than before, but he is witty and hidden.

Xue Shiyong waved his hand, saluted her with his son, glanced at Ying Qinghua, and left in a hurry.

Laifeng followed them until they got into their own carriage outside the mansion and went away, and then returned to the front hall to report, "The people of the Xue family have gone away." ”

Ying Qinghua wiped the slight sweat on her forehead, but fortunately, her sister-in-law sent them away effortlessly.

A smile hung on the corner of Gu's mouth, and he glanced at his daughter.

Rong'er glanced at Lai Wang, who had been sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "Second uncle." Is Laiwang waiting to pay tribute to my mother? ”

Lai Wang's face was heavy at this time. Glancing at the third lady who was dressed in extraordinary clothes, she got up and half-knelt down, "What happened a few days ago." The small ones are also responsible. In the past, I followed the second master with my two little guys to inspect the outside and was not in place, and I betrayed the second master's trust in me, so I caused such a big accident. The little faceless came back with a cheeky face this time, and it was the last handover. ”

It is indeed his responsibility to do so. In private, there must have been benefits from receiving the Xue family, so when I inspected it, I only checked the account and did not put it in place. Not to mention other places, the business of Shangweilou is getting better and better year by year. This is obvious to all, how can it be that the amount of silver handed back to Anping Mansion by Shangweilou is not much more than in previous years?

"You've been working for Anping Mansion for seven or eight years. Maybe it's too tiring on weekdays. "Gu Shi didn't keep it, said lightly." You go to the account room with the second master and hand over the money. And if you don't want to stay in China, we don't force it. ”

There is something to say in this statement.

"Come with me to the tent." Rong'er walked ahead with a smile.

Laiwang held the thick stack of ledgers on the coffee table and followed out, outside. He shouted to the two little men sitting in the courtyard. "Come to China, come to the transport, go to the account room to hand over."

Ying Qinghua followed behind, full of shame, after all, the surname is Ying, relying on the blessings of Anping Mansion to live, no matter what the final outcome is, at this time you have to do things to the end.

This matter has been arranged by Anping Mansion a long time ago. Laiwang and Laihua will definitely resign. Another Xiao Si Laiyun was sold to Anping Mansion since he was a child, and another one was found.

It's only half an hour. When you come to calculate and come to the money, you will complete the account book, and the account reconciliation will be smooth and error-free.

They have been away for a long time, and the monthly silver is settled in the house at the end of the year.

The trouble of the Xue family is too big.

On the way back, Laiwang thought about running away, but the second master couldn't run away, and on the other hand, he was also afraid of the power of Anping Mansion, after all, he still had a family, and he couldn't affect his family. So I came back to the business.

"This year, your account will be settled until July, and there will be a total of twenty-four taels of silver in Laiwang and seventeen taels of silver in China." Lai Jin didn't have a good face for them, so he snapped his calculations and said coldly.

At this time, Laiwang said to Rong'er ashamedly, "Third Miss." We don't have the face to receive this year's wages. It's not much, but it only shows our desire to be punished. ”

Come to China and follow Laiwang to manage the accounts, usually eat a lot of Na Xu's family, so there is a sloppiness in doing things, this time back, the heart is the same as Laiwang, not to be killed by Anping Mansion is lucky, where do you dare to receive wages, on the side whispered should be.

Ying Qinghua was silent with a white face.

"Yes. This amount of wages is not enough to punish you. If the third lady has something to do at that time, will you take the head of the whole family to pay for it? Laijin angrily threw the pen on the counter, this money is not much, but he doesn't want them to take it.

Laijin hurriedly put a fingerprint on the account book in front of him, and then arched his hand, "The little one is leaving." ”

Laihua was like him, hurriedly put a fingerprint on it, and ran away shamelessly.

Laiyun's face was like ashes on the side, and he was worried that he would be killed.

Originally, Anping Mansion could sue the officials, punish them, and accuse them of being disloyal and not doing their job properly, but this matter involves Ying Qinghua, so Ying Qingyuan has already confessed, just let Laiwang pay their errands and resign.

Laiyun grew up with Laijin, and at this time, Laijin couldn't wait to smash his confused head with an abacus, but how Hou Ye punished the second master, everyone still doesn't know, and it is not good to break Ying Qinghua's face at this time. Lai Jin looked at Lai Yun coldly, "You have been in charge of night incense and cleaning the latrine in the mansion for the past few days. ”

"Second uncle. Let's go back to the front room. ”

Rong'er didn't want to embarrass Ying Qinghua too much, so his tone was still sweet.

Ying Qinghua was even more ashamed in his heart, tears couldn't help but flow, and he said as he walked, "Second Uncle is really sorry for you." If you have three long and two short, I really just bring my head back. ”

Rong'er turned around and smiled at him, "It's because the second uncle usually values the kinship with the Xue family too much, so he was used by the people of the Xue family." ”

"It's all my confusion......" Ying Qinghua gave a slap in the face.

Rong'er stopped him and said, "Second uncle." You brought your sister-in-law and your brother and sister back. Show that your heart is sincere. I'll talk about that when my dad comes back. You go to see my mother first, and then we have lunch together, and then we have lunch and rest. ”

The stronger the family affection, the more Ying Qinghua feels a loss in his heart.

When I returned to the front hall, I saw Gu's tears and remorse again.

"His second uncle. Don't do that anymore. Something has happened. Let's take the road ahead. Just now, Aunt Xie came to urge me to have lunch. Let's go to the dining room. ”

At lunchtime, the atmosphere on the table was as harmonious as Ying Qinghua's return to Anping Mansion.

Ying Qinghua couldn't bear the shame in his heart. Halfway through the meal, I got off the table first.

"Sister Yun. You can ask someone to bring some food to the second uncle to the guest house. Gu instructed Aunt Xie.

Seeing this, Fan sighed: "Sister-in-law doesn't have to bother. He has a ghost in his own heart, and he can't see the light. When the food was sent again, he still couldn't eat it. ”

Gu Shi "oh" said: "Then listen to you." ”

"These are spiced chicken wings."

"It's a shrimp with chives and saltwater."

Aunt Xie's mother gave Youxin and Lingzhi the dishes they liked to eat from time to time.

"Thank you, auntie."

The two children were very polite and taught. Thank you to Aunt Xie from time to time.

Gu Shi looked at them, still as fond as before, and looked at Fan with appreciation.

Fan's eyes were red, but he kept his composure and Shuyi.

Rong'er gave Fan a piece of Codonopsis blunt duck, "Second aunt." It's the road. To return to Anping is to return to your own home. ”

"Thank you, Rong'er." Fan whispered thanks.

"You're an elder, how can you thank me?" Rong'er said with a smile.

"Rong'er is right. We went back to our homes. Fan finally couldn't help choking twice, but he took a big bite to eat the food.

"What are the words. Let's talk slowly. Gu knew Fan very well and looked at her with affection.

Xue Ju was afraid that she would swallow, so she gently patted her back. While saying, "Second aunt, you eat slowly." ”

"Hmm. I eat slowly. Fan wiped away his tears and slowed down his meal.

Youxin and Lingzhi hooked their heads and did not speak.

Obviously, there is still a hidden truth that Ying Qinghua can't say to Gu's.

Eat and drink. Gu's pair has a channel. "You take your sister back to the guest house first. I'll ask your mother to sit in my room. ”

Youxin said: "Auntie." I also have something to say to you. ”

Gu Shi let out an "oh" and looked at Fan.

Lingzhi also said crisply, "I also have something to say to my aunt." ”

Gu smiled, "Then let's all go to my room." ”

"Sister-in-law. Our family is really sorry for Big Brother and you. As soon as they arrived at Gu's house, Fan's mother and son knelt neatly in front of her.

"What are you doing here? Something to say. ”

Gu Shi and Rong'er want to pull them up, except for Lingzhi, they can't pull Fan and Youxin.

"Auntie. Listen to my mother first. Youxin also shed tears at this time.

"Say it. What the hell is going on? "Gu's couldn't imagine what had happened to make their mother and son like this.

Fan Shi wiped away tears and said, "Come back this time." I asked his father to bring us back together. Originally, he wanted to come back alone to confess. But I was afraid that he would change halfway, so I joined the children. supervised him on the road. ”

Gu Shi and Rong'er glanced at each other, and they didn't see any signs that Ying Qinghua would play any tricks.

"In the spring, the Xue family not only wanted to let Youxin be a righteous son, but this time when he came back on the road, he was caught up by the uncle of the Xue family, and he learned that last autumn the Xue family helped his father raise a concubine in Nanping Prefecture! So Xue Shi can always blackmail his father. At that time, I understood why there was such a big corruption in the grange and shops in Jinnan County, and it had nothing to do with his father's soft mouth and short hands. Anping Mansion has never said anything to our family, he was led by the nose by the Xue family with a single thought, made a big incident, and almost killed Rong'er. This is really ungrateful. When I married him, I was a relative of my uncle when he was alive, and although my Fan family was an ordinary merchant family, I respected my uncle's personality and talent very much. Since I married into the Ying family, my father has always taught me to be a wife, to be benevolent, virtuous, loyal and righteous, and not to live up to the value of the Ying family. As she spoke, she took out a stack of paper slips from her arms, held them high and handed them to Gu's, "This is our land property in Dongping Prefecture, and now it is returned to the Ying family, and in the future, I and my two children will be slaves and servants in Anping Mansion to make up for his father's mistakes." ”

With that, she threw her head to the ground.

Youxin and Lingzhi followed and bowed their heads.

Gu really didn't expect that there would be such a paragraph, Anping Mansion has never treated Ying Qinghua's family badly, Ying Qingyuan has no other brothers, and has always treated him as his own brother. If his second uncle had been stricter, the accident in Jinnan County would definitely not have caused such a big trouble, and it would have almost cost Rong'er's life. Rong'er is his niece.

Tears finally couldn't help but fall in strings, and the words of the compromise were not spoken after all. His hands trembled, but he couldn't take what was in Fan's hand.

Rong'er sat down with her mother in her arms, patted her chest gently, and Xueju patted her back in the back.

"Wooh..."Gu sobbed sadly, his whole body trembling.

Fan's mother and son fell to the ground and kowtowed constantly.

"Could it be that the backer of Anping Hou is not as good as the Xue family?" Gushi was a little puzzled.

"When the eldest brother comes back, you can report to the official. Should Qinghua be imprisoned and beheaded. Our mother and son are willing to be slaves in Anping Mansion in this life, stay in the house to do rough work, or go to the grange to go to the field, and let the sister-in-law punish her. "Pham is sincere.

Fan's character is impeccable, and because of this, Ying Qingyuan and his wife have never doubted Ying Qinghua.

"It is said that there is no evil in obtaining a good wife. Why is his second uncle so confused for such a little benefit? If he wants to take a concubine, just tell his brother that we will help pick the right one. Gu coughed twice in distress.

This matter, Rong'er had already speculated that it was not unrelated to the second uncle.

In the previous life, Fan's mother and son have always been loyal to Anping Mansion.

The second uncle is a man who pays attention to relationships, and he is close to the Xue family, so it is inevitable that he will not fall into the Xue family's set.

Seeing this scene, Rong'er felt that it was a gratifying thing, but in fact, it was not about Fan's mother and son, but they came forward to make up for Ying Qinghua, which shows that they are as trustworthy as before.

smiled lightly and said coquettishly to Gu's, "Mother." The second uncle was confused for a while. If you think he is incompetent, it's good not to let him take care of important things in the future. You can't let the second aunt, Brother Youxin, and Lingzhi be affected. Daddy values Brother Youxin very much, didn't he say a few days ago that when Brother Youxin comes back, he will ask him to study hard with his second brother and take the first exam together next spring? ”

It was the Anping Mansion that corresponded to the Tsinghua family, which had never been separated, that made Gu's heart like a knife. She sobbed even harder, barely speechless.

"I think the second uncle still has the heart to admit his mistakes, but I don't know how to tell you about this. It's all about people, people and people. Mother, you have to look at this, who doesn't have something unspeakable? In the future, we will leave the second aunt and them in the house to punish them slowly, let the second aunt serve you, Lingzhi serve me, and Brother Xin serves the second brother, if they don't do it right, we will beat them. ”

Rong'er's half-childish words comforted Fan's mother and son a lot.

"Our mother and son are at the mercy of our aunts and nephews and nieces." Fan said earnestly.

"Mother. You see that the second aunt is so sincere. It's hard to find someone who is so good. You're more generous. When Dad came back, he beat the second uncle, and then drove him back to Dongping Prefecture to farm by himself. Rong'er gently stroked Gu's face with her pink hand.

"In the future, these two children and I will no longer be Ying Qinghua's people." Fan said again.

Rong'er clapped her hands and said with a smile: "This is very good." Let the second uncle be punished enough. In the future, Brother Youxin and the second brother will take the exam together, but they will not have his share. All of them are the glory of my Anping Mansion. ”

Youxin cried, "In this life, let me atone for my sins as a slave and a servant in Anping Mansion for my father, and I dare not redeem myself for fame as liberation." (To be continued.) )
