It was the end of autumn, a round of orange sun lazily climbed up, hanging weakly in the sky, although the morning light sprinkled the earth, the morning and evening were still a little cold, after all, autumn is over, winter is coming. Just after breakfast, the mother-in-law on the second door sent someone to deliver a letter.

Fang Fei took it and took a look, only to see the name of the eldest master written on the envelope, and the word 'urgent' at the bottom, so he asked, "This is a letter from the front yard, why did it come to me?" ”

The mother-in-law who came from the second door shook her head and said that she didn't know, it was sent by Xiao Sirang on the corner door.

The eldest man was not in the house, and the letter was marked as 'urgent', and the people on the corner gate were afraid of delaying the big event, so they asked people to send the letter to Fang Fei, who was in charge of the family, which was also reasonable.

Fang Fei carefully looked at the envelope, and the words on it were written like a dog gouging out, and it looked like it was written by a person who rarely used his pen. The eldest man reads poetry and books a lot, and gathers people in groups, and naturally his friends around him are also full of knowledge, and it is impossible to write such ugly words.

Fang Fei thought about it, and decided to open the envelope to see what kind of medicine this gourd was selling.

As soon as the seal was opened, two different earrings fell out of the envelope, one was a pale cyan jade with teardrops, and the other was a peacock green jade pendant.

Which one is stronger to read novels on mobile phones? Mobile Reading Network

Mother Zhou, who was cleaning up the table, saw it, and hurriedly gave the little maid the task at hand, and went back to the back room to get a cloak and came out. pulled his skirt and chased Fang Fei out.

The eldest lord is not in the mansion, and Fang Fei can only take this letter to the old ancestor.

Although the content of the letter is a little shocking, the ancestor is a person who has gone through strong winds and waves, what kind of things have not been seen or experienced? Take it to her and let her help with the idea, it is definitely much more reliable than yourself, after all, ginger is old and spicy.

The old ancestor had just finished breakfast and saw Fang Fei come in. Lao Yuan said: "I was still talking about why you didn't come over for breakfast today." Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived. ”

Jin Ling, who was cleaning up the tabletop, couldn't help but joke: "Yes, Mrs. Tai, our small kitchen here has always prepared two servings for breakfast." Just waiting for you at any time. Feel free to come over. ”

Instead, it's the same. Mother Zhou had to fight with Jin Ling for a few words, and Fang Fei occasionally joked, but today she saw Fang Fei's solemn expression. Zhou's mother was also in that mood, and quietly followed Fang Fei into the house.

"Yo, what's going on this early morning?" The old ancestor also saw some clues, put away his smiling face, and said with a straight face: "Isn't something wrong?" ”

"Ancestor, do you recognize these earrings?" Fang Fei nodded heavily, handed his hand to the ancestor, spread out his palm, and presented the two earrings that he had been holding in his palm in front of the ancestor.

The old ancestor squinted his eyes, picked up the earrings of the peacock green jade pendant with a withered hand, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully for a while, and muttered: "This is what the boss used when he was hired, and it has been on the eldest daughter-in-law, how can it be in your hands?" ”

Fang Fei's heart sank, and he didn't answer first, but handed over another pale green teardrop in his hand and asked, "Does the old ancestor know this?" ”

The old ancestor didn't stretch out his hand to take it, but glanced at it lightly, and said firmly: "This is not our Zhao family's thing, a girl from the Lu family came over yesterday, and she wore something similar to this." ”

It's good, Fang Fei can't take the two earrings to show himself, and the owners of the two earrings happened to go out together yesterday, and they haven't returned yet, the old ancestor frowned slightly, and asked, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

Fang Fei sighed secretly and took out the letter that Shi Cai had put into his sleeve, "This is the ...... sent in by Xiao Si on the corner door in the morning."

The content of the letter is simply shocking, directly explaining that Grandma Song and the girl of the Lu family fell into their hands, and they wanted to save people, so they took 500,000 taels of silver tickets before noon, took a boat to the edge of the Luohe ferry, and handed over the money with one hand and the other hand.

Fang Fei came over on this trip, just to ask the ancestor to confirm whether the two earrings belonged to Grandma Song and Lu Siqi, as for whether the silver could save people or not, it was up to the ancestor to make an idea, after all, 500,000 taels of silver was not a small amount.

Although she is at home, if she wants to use such a large sum of money, it is impossible without the permission of her ancestors, as she said before, she is just a maid in charge of the key, and she can't be the master of the house!

Boom!

After reading the contents of the letter, the old ancestor directly slammed the letter on the table, "What about Rong Zhaoren?" Didn't he accompany his wife to the family temple? Why was his mother and the Lu family girl kidnapped, and he hasn't even had a shadow until now? Could it be that he was kidnapped by someone? After a pause, he instructed Mother Wu: "Mother Wu, you hurry up and let someone go to the mountain, be sure to ask me what happened yesterday!" ”

"Yes." Mother Wu stretched her face and took the order to go out to run errands.

The relaxed atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, and the people in the entire side hall did not dare to come out, waiting for the ancestor to give orders, after all, she was the backbone of the family.

"Jin Ling, let someone call the second child over." The old ancestor thought about it and commanded again.

The second master is also a local parent official, and now the kidnapped person is his sister-in-law, so he has to make a contribution to the reason, public and private, otherwise he can't say it.

Fang Fei and Zhou's mother waited aside, waiting for the ancestor to start arranging, but they heard her say again: "The eldest daughter-in-law has always been confused, where can it be worth 500,000 taels of silver!" It's just that it has affected the girl of the Lu family, even if she meets a nobleman, the 500,000 taels of silver can be obtained without it, but it also depends on whether the group of thieves has the blessing to fly away with the silver! ”

The meaning of this means that you have to take out the money to save people.

But where to take out the money, it's a problem, the account of the public middle school, Fang Fei also knows a little bit about it, real estate is the majority, and then there are valuable objects in the warehouse, and there is a lot of silver, but the other party specified that he wanted a silver ticket, presumably for the convenience of running away, and the public middle school really couldn't get so many silver tickets for a while.

Fang Fei was pondering. But I saw the old ancestor get up on crutches and go to the inner room, without her orders, no one dared to follow her in, and after a while, I saw her come out with a brocade box, put it on the table of the Eight Immortals, and pushed the box in front of Fang Fei.

"What is this?" Fang Fei said suspiciously.

"This is the private money I have saved over the years, take it and use it, and then transfer it from the big house account." The old ancestor said lightly. It was as if there was just a bundle of blank paper in the box in front of him. It's not that she's saved up for years.

Fang Fei nodded and took the box over.

The person who had been sent to call Chief Steward Zhao earlier also returned, followed by Grand Steward Zhao in a hurry.

"Ancestor." Grand Steward Zhao arched his hand and nodded at Fang Fei again. "I don't know what to call the old slave over?"

Qualifications of Grand Steward Zhao. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is also the number one in this family. The old ancestor was not ambiguous at all, and directly handed him the letter paper on the table, and ordered concisely and clearly: "I will use the silver myself." Now the key is to rescue the person first, and later you accompany Ah Fei to go in person, and then bring someone to follow secretly, and I also let people go over to inform the second child, I must save the person back, take the silver if you can get it back, if you can't take it, it will be regarded as doing a good deed, hurry up and arrange it! ”

Chief Steward Zhao didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately withdrew and began to arrange for the arrangement of manpower.

As soon as he left with his front foot, the second master rushed over in a hurry.

The old ancestor didn't have that patience, so he directly smashed the letter paper on the second master's face, and said, "See for yourself!" How did you become a parent official? Someone dared to kidnap people in my Zhao family's family temple and even come to the door to extort ransom! ”

The second master wiped his sweat and cursed to himself that this is a good thing that is not long-sighted and long-lived! Dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head and hit the Zhao family with the idea!

"I asked Lao Zhao and Ah Fei to bring silver tickets and go to the place they said in the letter to exchange people, and you can watch the arrangement yourself." The old ancestor commanded coldly.

"Grandmother, don't worry, this matter is wrapped up in me, I promise that those little thieves can't eat and walk around, and they dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, and I will let him eat in prison in the next life!" The second master patted his chest and swore a promise.

The old ancestor snorted heavily, and said angrily: "Don't be busy boasting about Haikou first, dig a pit for yourself to jump, the eldest daughter-in-law and the Lu family girl want to have three long and two short, I can't spare you!" Let's see how you explain it to me! ”

The second master immediately coaxed, and hurriedly said: "Grandson remembers, grandson will arrange it." After saying that, he ran out of the smoke, as if his house was on fire.

"Ancestor, then I'll go and clean up and come over later." Fang Fei blessed his body, and he was right.

"Go ahead." The old ancestor nodded, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

The eldest man in the family is not there, Zhao Rongzhao is nowhere to be seen, the ancestor is old, and this matter can only be brought forward by Fang Fei, Zhou's mother looked at her worriedly, and her heart was very uncomfortable.

The old ancestor has always been resolute and resolute, and it took less than half an hour to gather from receiving the letter to instructing the chief steward Zhao and the second master to arrange manpower.

Fang Fei went back to his room, rummaged through the cabinets, found a light clothes to come out and put them on, Zhou's mother combed her hair again, simply curled her hair sideburns, and fixed it with an ordinary silver hairpin.

"Mrs. Tai, according to me, these things should be done by men, the ancestors are inevitably too spoiled by them, and everything will be sent to you." Zhou's mother complained while helping her clean up.

Fang Fei shook his head with a wry smile, and comforted her: "Don't think badly, just go and send the silver, give them the silver, and it will be fine if you exchange the people back." ”

Mother Zhou didn't think so, and said earnestly: "My wife, those outlaws can do anything for the sake of silver, where will they keep their promises, don't think of people too kindly!" ”

Fang Fei looked at himself, and when he saw that it was cleaned up, he held Zhou's mother's hand and said with a smile: "I know everything, don't worry, if they don't let go of the money at that time, I will quickly walk away, and it will be fine." ”

Zhou's mother wanted to persuade her again, but she heard the maid outside come in and say that Chief Steward Zhao had already arranged the matter, and was waiting for Fang Fei to come over and discuss how to act together.

The second master went back to the yamen to arrange for the transfer, the old ancestor didn't dare to count on him, but believed that Zhao Da was more reliable, and after the preparations were made here, he wrapped the box containing the silver ticket in a wrapper and handed it to Fang Fei.

"It doesn't matter if people can't be saved, you don't care, you don't need silver, the most important thing is that you two must return safely." After the qiē was ready, the old ancestor solemnly told the two, "Go ahead, be more careful yourself." ”

Zhou's mother also wanted to follow, but the letter said that at most two people could go, that is, Zhao Daguan and Fang Fei, which was a matter of importance, and Zhou's mother did not dare to follow secretly, so she had to stay in Yining Hall and wait for news.

The place indicated in the letter was at a not prosperous ferry port downstream, and when the two arrived there, they received another letter indicating that the location had been changed to a busy ferry port upstream.

Chief Manager Zhao was not a vegetarian, so he immediately arranged for his people to go to the previous ferry, and he and Fang Fei walked slowly and leisurely to the previous ferry.

When they were halfway there, they received a letter from a little beggar on the side of the road, saying that the address of the exchanger was still set at the downstream ferry, and that they must arrive within half an hour, otherwise they would tear up the ticket!

Steward Zhao was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, but now that everyone had been evacuated by himself, it was too late to call him back, so he had to order people to withdraw them while ordering them to come back, while he and Fang Fei were stubborn and went to the ferry downstream.

When the two arrived at the ferry, the second master's people had already taken the lead in action, and they didn't know if he wanted to help Grandma Song or hurt Grandma Song, so they actually blocked the entire ferry!

And the other party is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, the second master turned the entire ferry upside down, and he didn't even see the shadow of Grandma Song, and the late Zhao steward shook his head angrily, how could the other party be so stupid and hide people in the exchange place!

The second master was arresting and interrogating the people at the ferry one by one, and suddenly there was a noise outside, and a servant came in to report, saying that the second master's eldest nephew, Zhao Rongzhao, was clamoring to see the second master outside.

"Why is Rong Zhao here?" The second old man muttered, and hurriedly instructed his subordinates: "Go, bring him in." ”

After a while, Zhao Rongzhao, who was sweating profusely, came in with a horse, the clothes on his body were already soaked with sweat, presumably he rushed over quickly, and when he saw the second master, he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand, and asked eagerly: "Second uncle, where is my mother?" ”

"Isn't this being found?" The second master said unhappily, glaring at his nephew with an impatient look. (To be continued......) R1292
