But I heard Zhang continue: "You are acting so lightly, I think it is because you are my companion, and your man has a face in front of the uncle, and he is used to being powerful and blessed, and gradually he doesn't even care about the master." That being the case, I will write to my uncle. Your family will go to the village for a while. When you have figured out who your master is and who you are, when will you come back. ”

Zhang's voice landed, and Cui suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang in surprise. Even the Wang family could not hide the surprise on their faces.

"Ma'am?" Zhao Youcai's family raised their heads and looked at Zhang in disbelief.

She originally thought that the errand had come to an end, but she didn't expect that the Zhang family would actually drive their family to Zhuangzi. In her case, it doesn't end here!

Zhao Youcai's family looked at Zhang's family, and Zhang's eyes also sank, with unpredictable eyes and condensed expressions. For some reason, Zhao Youcai's family only felt a chill in his back, and his heart was sudden, and even cold air came out of the cracks of his bones. She couldn't help but shiver all over, her throat trembled, and she couldn't even say words to beg for mercy.

Zhang's cold voice came again: "With your mistake, you have to get another ten boards." Seeing that you are my companion, these ten boards and write them down first, which can be regarded as the whole of you and my master and servant. Come and bring Zhao Youcai's family down first. "Looking at Zhang's meaning, as soon as the matter is over, Zhao Youcai's family will be sent to Zhuangzi.

As soon as Zhang's words fell, several stout servants came up and dragged Zhao Youcai's family down. In order to prevent her from talking nonsense, she also stuffed a cloth towel in her mouth. This drag all the way is in the eyes of everyone, but the big face is gone.

After the person was pulled out, the three masters in the West Flower Hall were all silent for a while. Cui Shi took the opportunity to drink tea and glanced at Zhang several times, but saw that the other party had a gloomy complexion and a slight flash in his eyes, obviously thinking about something.

For some reason, a trace of uneasiness welled up in Cui's heart. She always felt that Zhang's use of this heavy ceremony today must have other intentions.

Zhang suddenly said: "Although Zhao Youcai's family has been punished, how the chestnut noodles were mixed into the pie crust, but there is still no result. In my opinion, this is a big deal, and it needs to be examined carefully. ”

When he said these words, Zhang's tone was very steady, and he couldn't hear the annoyance that someone had just broken one of his arms.

Cui Shi nodded and said, "Sister-in-law said very well. It's just that now how to check the law, my sister has no idea for a while. ”

Zhang chuckled lightly and said coldly: "The second brother and sister are the most thoughtful, why be so modest." ”

Cui Shi hung his head in shame and said softly: "Sister-in-law has won the award." Seeing the actions of the eldest sister-in-law, the younger sister knew what it was to kill decisively. Sure enough, my sister is not as good as my sister-in-law. ”

Zhang's eyebrows froze when he heard this, and then he flattened his expression and said lightly: "Since the second brother and sister said that I was a sister-in-law's decisive killing, I must also find out about this matter today and give my sister an explanation." ”

Without waiting for Cui's answer, Zhang continued: "I thought about it carefully, since the number of chestnut noodles is not small, and Zhao Youcai's family has never used chestnut noodles, then the problem must be in the three ingredients of flour, water chestnut flour and poria powder, and one or two things here are not so clean." The second brother and sister think but? ”

Cui Shi had a faint feeling as early as when the number of chestnut noodles was the same. Now seeing that Zhang's really asked, he was already on guard in his heart, so he naturally replied without leaking, and said, "What the eldest sister-in-law said is very true." ”

Zhang called the little girl over, opened the pocket containing flour, water chestnut powder and poria powder, and called the only remaining steward in the big kitchen, the sister-in-law Zhang, who was Fang Cai, and asked her to carefully inspect the four ingredients.

Sister-in-law Zhang is a very plump woman, and she has not recovered from the affairs of Zhao Youcai's family at this time, her whole body trembles with her flesh, and she kowtows to the three people in the hall with trepidation, and only then goes over to check.

She followed the order of smelling first, then looking, and then tasting, starting with the flour, and when she found the Poria powder, her face showed a different color.

This expression was keenly captured by Zhang, so he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Take a look at it,." Sister-in-law Zhang's voice trembled slightly, as if she was still not sure, she took a small spoon of Poria cocos powder, looked at the light carefully, and then hooked out a little bit with her little finger to taste it, before kneeling on the ground, kowtowed and said: "If you go back to the eldest lady, the maid thinks this Poria cocos powder...... Wrong. ”

"Oh, what's wrong?" Zhang asked.

"Son-of-law...... The slave tasted ...... It smells like chestnut noodles. Sister-in-law Zhang replied.

"What?" Cui Shi couldn't sit still, put down the teacup in his hand and asked.

Zhang also said: "You said that there is chestnut noodles in this Poria powder, are you sure?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhang kowtowed again and said, "The maid can be sure." ”

Cui Shi was not at ease, so he called Zhou's mother: "Go and see what she said." ”

Zhang smiled slightly, and also instructed Liu's mother: "Please also ask my mother to watch." ”

The two mothers took the orders of their respective masters, and carefully inspected the poria powder and tasted it again. Then Zhou's mother nodded to Cui's, her face a little ugly. Liu's mother also replied: "Mrs. Hui, it is indeed mixed with chestnut noodles." ”

"That's amazing." Zhang's lukewarm voice echoed in everyone's ears, "Poria powder is mixed with chestnut noodles, is this fooling the master, or is it bullying the master who has never seen the world." ”

The smile that Cui Shi kept on his face was finally shocked by this sentence. She pulled out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her lips, but did not speak.

Zhang didn't look at Cui's either, and only lightly ordered: "Come on, go and call the person in charge of the big kitchen to come over." Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, lightly tapped the corner of her forehead, and said to Cui's family: "Look at my memory, which mother is the one who bought it, the second brother and sister have a good memory, and I also mention a little sister-in-law." ”

Cui Shi regained his smiling expression at this time, and said softly: "It is the Feng family who is in charge of this matter." ”

This Feng family is the person who came up from the Cui family.

"No," Zhang said with a smile, "It's still the second brother and sister who have a good memory, and they belong to the Feng family." Then he said to Fu Xue, who was standing beside him: "This Feng family's idea is not in the middle of the world, you can bring a few more people and call her over." After that, he looked at Cui Shi and smiled: "Second brother and sister look at it, is it appropriate for sister-in-law to deal with it like this?" ”

Cui's heart had already made a calculation, and at this time he took a sip of tea idly, and said lightly: "According to my sister, since the Feng family is invited, then Jia's mother must also be invited." It must be known that the Feng family has just taken over, and Mother Jia has always been in charge of the purchase, and she only called the Feng family over, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? ”

Zhang glanced at Cui's, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just listen to the second brother and sister." ”

So the Zhang family asked someone to invite Jia's mother, but the people sent out bypassed the second room, only asked the people in the third room to invite Jia's mother, and the people in the big room went to call the Feng family. Cui's knew what he meant, but he was not in a hurry, and he still sat idle.

At this time, due to the light, the three masters had changed to the armchairs on the west side, but they sat with their backs to Fu Jun. But Fu Jun didn't notice this, she was still thinking about the purchase of the big kitchen.

She didn't know about the intertwined relationship between the people in the house, and only analyzed from Fang Cai's micro-expressions that the Feng family must be someone from the Cui family, and the Cui family pulled Mrs. Hou's mother Jia, did she want to take advantage of the situation?

In the battle between the big room and the second room in the big kitchen, only a layer of window paper was left unbroken. They fought for theirs, and it had nothing to do with the third room. Hate only hated Mrs. Hou but pulled the Wang family into the water, although it was only involved in a short period of time, but this kind of thing, as long as it was touched, it was a thing. At this moment, Fu Jun's only wish is that today's matter should not be messed with in the third room.

About the time when the little half of the incense was touched, the Feng family arrived first, and then Jia's mother also came over. Because she was a person next to Mrs. Hou and was particularly decent, the Zhang family asked someone to bring Zhang Xiaozi over and told her to sit and talk.

Jia's mother confessed and sat on the side of her head. The Feng family did not have such courtesy, and knelt on the ground as soon as they came in. But her expression was calm. Fu Jun can now directly see the person who is talking next, and he doesn't have to look back and forth left and right like Fang Cai.

"Tell me, when did this Poria powder enter the warehouse?" Zhang asked straight to the point.

The Feng family didn't seem to know in advance, so when they heard this, they said respectfully: "If you go back to the eldest lady, the Poria cocos powder was purchased five days ago, and it will be recorded on the same day." ”

"You said the account book, but this one?" Zhang "snapped" and threw an account book at the Feng family's feet, but it was one of the several account books sent by Fang Cai's mother.

Everyone in the room was startled by Zhang's sudden movement. The Feng family was also taken aback, she raised her head, glanced at Cui's uneasily, and then at Zhang's again, before picking up the account book and opening it to look at it, and then replied: "If Mrs. Hui speaks, it is this one." ”

"That's it." Zhang said, then suddenly turned to Wang, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law has a reluctant invitation, and I also asked the third brother and sister to borrow a literate maid for me to use." ”

Wang didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't ask more, only smiled: "Sister-in-law is too polite." With that, he instructed Huaisu to go over.

Zhang said to Huaisu: "Please read the first few accounts in the account book." Read the white poria powder purchased on July 17. ”

Huai Su walked over and picked up the account book in the Feng family's hand, turned to the page of July 17, and read: "Qitai buys one pound of white poria powder, five taels of silver. ”

Zhang said: "Recite the white Poria powder purchased on July 23. ”

Huaisu turned to that page again and read: "Qitai buys white Poria powder for one catty and two taels, and silver for seven taels." ”

Zhang said with a smile: "Please turn to the first day of the sixth month and read the purchase account of Poria cocos powder." ”

Huaisu turned dozens of pages forward before he found that one, and read: "Yuanfa buys a pound of white poria powder, and five taels of silver." ”

Zhang said: "Please also ask Miss Huaisu to take a look, since April, from which families have bought this white poria powder." ”

Huai Su began to rummage through the tent again, and only a slight "bang" sound was heard in the room. It didn't take long for him to hear Huaisu's voice say calmly: "Back to the eldest lady, from April 1 to July 7, the house is buying Poria cocos powder at the source. Since July 17, it has been purchased on the Qitai. ”
