Chapter XXV

I saw this woman playing the pipa softly with her ten fingers, her two big eyes were moist with tears, and her face was extremely miserable.

Next to her sat a mother-in-law in her fifties, her mother-in-law was in rags, her hair was messy and a little pale, and her fat body could not hide the grievances in her eyes.

Feng Bao rushed to the stern of the boat like a ghost, and with a hissing sound, he pulled out the waist knife in his hand, and dozens of wolf-like guards also appeared beside him in an instant, looking at the boat slowly approaching with vigilance.

Seeing this scene, the woman playing the pipa was not afraid at all, and there was a bit of despair under her miserable face, and Xing Lao and Liu Wencheng came to the stern of the boat curiously.

At this time, the desperate woman plucked the strings tightly, and tears flowed down at once, like a big river bursting the embankment, the timing was quite good, as soon as the sound of the pipa stopped, the woman on the small boat immediately knelt on the boat, and said in a sad voice: "The people's woman Ye Lushi, the people of Ningzhou, there is a great grievance to ask the adults to decide..."

As she spoke, her trembling body swayed with her, and the tears from the burst of the embankment wet her face, and she looked even more aggrieved.

Liu Wencheng showed his face, it turned out to be a complaint, he had long heard that the people had a complaint against the emperor, and he had only heard of it, but he didn't expect him to encounter it today, and he felt very interesting for a while, as the prince, avenging the people's grievances, maybe it will become a good story in Ningzhou.

Stopping Mo Zhizhou, who rushed back and was about to speak, Feng Bao and the guards, who were on guard, straightened his chest, didn't know where to get a folding fan and shook it in his hand, and said confidently: "Who do you want to complain about, what grievances do you have, although it is said, if you are right, the officials of our ship should be the masters for you." ”

Lu Menglou cried with a whimper, and said, "The woman wants to sue her daughter-in-law..."

……

Ningzhou City, Qiao's Mansion, compared to Liu Wencheng's big boat going upstream, Qiao Yue had to arrive half a day in advance, and when she heard that Qiao Yue was back, Qian Gui and the others had already lined up to stand on both sides of the gate to greet her.

The fat girl learned the tone of Mrs. Meng like an adult and said three to four to the people in the house: "Huang San, look at how dirty your clothes are, get away for a while, don't let the eldest lady see you, so as not to dirty your eyes."

Second Uncle Zhang, you are really old, can you stand far away, look at your tears and snot, don't scare the eldest lady into the door.

And you... On Saturday, don't block the door, okay..."

"Hey, hey..."

The Qiao family who was reprimanded by the fat girl all smirked, not at all as frightened as when Meng Pozi trained them.

When the carriage appeared at the gate of Qiao's house, all the people gathered around, although Qiao Shan was the eldest young master of Qiao's mansion, but Qiao Yue was not there, they always felt that they had no backbone.

The fat girl carefully helped Qiao Yue down from the carriage, and the first one threw herself into Qiao Yue's arms and cried, she said distressedly: "Miss, you have suffered, look at it, it has only been a few days of hard work, you have lost weight like this, your body is not good, if you continue like this, it will not work, Xiaomeng stewed chicken soup for you, and you have to make up for it when you go back..."

Qian Gui also came up and said: "Miss, the things you arranged have been done, over there in Yanlai Building, our Qiao family's restaurant is ready, just wait for you to come back and give a good name, choose a good day, and you can open immediately..."

Qiao Yue nodded, looking around at this simple and sincere smiling face, her heart was warm, it turned out that some people were looking forward to it, and some people were waiting, this was the feeling.

After looking around the crowd several times, she didn't see Qiao Shan or Wang Yi, Qiao Yue asked suspiciously, "Where is my eldest brother?" Why don't you see him come out? ”

Qian Gui said: "The eldest young master just left yesterday morning, saying that he went to Huaizhou, let the little one tell the young lady, don't worry about him, Young Master Wang Yi went back to the capital, and he also said that there are some things to do, and he will come back after a while." ”

"Oh" Qiao Yue walked towards the door: "Is there anything else going on in the house these days?" ”

Speaking of which, everyone's eyes were on Qiao Yue, and it was obvious that nothing good would happen.

Qiao Yue was puzzled for a while, and pulled the fat girl who was walking beside her over: "Xiaomeng, come on, what happened?" ”

The fat girl's face stiffened, and she whispered, "It's just... It was yesterday afternoon that Lu Menglou came back from the capital..."

"Huh?" Qiao Yue was surprised: "You're back?" What about people? Ye Junsheng also came back? ”

The fat girl's head shook like a rattle: "I don't know, we didn't let her enter the house, Uncle Qian said that this is the Qiao family now, but not the Ye family, can't let her in, master?" No, it's Ye Junsheng, I didn't see it..."

Speaking of which, although Lu Menglou used a vicious trick to get rid of the golden cicada, pushing himself to the cusp, and almost died, if Qiao Shan hadn't appeared in time and Zhang Meng came later, he would definitely have died without scum, but he didn't have much hatred for Lu Menglou in his heart.

Thinking on the other hand, if she hadn't taken her in, if she hadn't run away temporarily, she wouldn't have met Qiao Shan, and she wouldn't have today's Qiao Mansion, although most of the Qiao family is her later efforts, but she can't forget that even if Lu Menglou is gone, she has left a good foundation.

Qiao Yue looked at the expensive money on the fat side, thought for a while and said: "Give her the house deed and title deed left by the Ye family before, after all, those things originally belonged to the Ye family, if the money is not enough, just sell some glass, and it is useless to keep that thing." ”

Qian Gui nodded yes, but it was obvious that he, like all the subordinates in the mansion, was very dissatisfied with Qiao Yue's decision.

Lu Menglou swept away all the silver that day, if it weren't for Qiao Yue, all of them would have nothing to eat, where would there be the Qiao family today.

Speaking of Liuli, Qiao Yue thought of Liu Xiang borrowing Shenzhaotang to ask her for money, and shouted that the money that was about to leave was expensive, Qiao Yue continued: "By the way, someone came to the house to pick up Liuli a few days ago?" ”

Qian Gui shook his head seriously: "No." ”

"Oh!" It should be that he turned his face with Liu Xiang later, he said that he wanted to give up all the plans, it seems to be true, he didn't lie to himself, and he didn't even give up the glass that he said he was going to take.

Qiao Yue smiled: "Don't worry about the matter over there in Lu Menglou, the Buddha statue on the side of Zhiyun Temple has a golden body, and the road up the mountain must be repaired, this matter is more urgent, first handle this matter, wait a few days, we will send some people to Huaizhou..."R1152."
