Things were so unexpected.

Zhou Shaojin's heart was heavy, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

Ma Fushan listened to the owner's secrets, and was a little uneasy, thinking that it would not be too late for him to agree to what Zhou Shaojin said first.

For a moment the room was silent, and there was no sound.

The old beggar moved his body uneasily, and his flickering gaze fell on Ma Fushan's body for a while, on the middle hall for a while, and on the ground for a while, and his expression showed a little cunning.

Ma Fushan looked at it and his heart moved.

How did you forget about this?

Regardless of whether what he said is true or not, the second lady is still young, and she was temporarily frightened by this guy's words, and when she comes back to her senses, she doesn't know whether it's sad or happy, so she can't let this guy see jokes here, right?

He thought about it, shouted, and said, "According to what you say, the two families of Chengzhuang have been engaged, why don't the neighbors know?" I think you owe it to clean up, and you dare to arrange the old lady of the Zhuang family and Mrs. Zhuang ......"

"I'm telling the truth!" The old beggar immediately cried with tears and snot, "At first, it was Master Cheng Bai who said that Lao An was their aunt and grandmother, and Mrs. Cheng couldn't say anything. Later, Mrs. Cheng heard that Miss Zhuang was the reincarnation of a fox spirit, and she didn't like it. Later, the two families withdrew, and the dealer took the initiative, and the Cheng family would not mention it. This matter is a family ...... And the old man of the Zhou family knows it...... Originally, the old lady of the Zhuang family wanted to marry Miss Zhuang to the Gu family, but the Gu family did not have a son of the right age, so Miss Zhuang married the eldest master of the Zhou family......" he said, swearing to the sky, "Uncle Zhuang also knows...... That's what he asked for money from the banker's eldest lady at the beginning. Later, it was Master Zhou who came forward and gave the banker's uncle silver and sealed the banker's uncle's mouth......"

The shrewd Ma Fushan immediately heard the sound outside the strings, and he said, "Then whose sealing silver did you accept?" ”

"Cheng, Cheng's ......" was caught off guard, and the old beggar blurted out.

Cheng family?

Zhou Shaojin was dumbfounded.

Ma Fushan opened his mouth.

"It's true!" The old beggar saw that the matter had been exposed, even if he didn't say it, the Zhou family would be able to find out if he had the heart, so he simply broke the jar and said, "The Cheng family has always regarded this matter as a shame. Master Cheng Bai worked hard because of this, took the test for the fame of Xiucai, and later started trading, but after a few years of hard work, he earned a fortune of 10,000 yuan...... He never wanted to talk about it again...... gave the villain a sum of money and asked the villain to leave Jinling City and do some small business...... The little one has no other ability than to drive the car, and the silver will be lost in a few years, and there is no way, so he will beg......"

Who is Mafuyama? Listening to the sneer, he said, "You are blackmailing Cheng Bai, and Cheng Bai took the silver to give you a deal, right?" Otherwise, the dealer is also a good family, since you have served Mrs. Zhuang, Mrs. Zhuang drove to the west, our lord has always respected Mrs. Zhuang, that is, the dealer does not raise for you, our lord looks at Mrs. Zhuang's face, and will also raise for you, how can you live on the street and become a beggar? ”

The old beggar was shocked and turned pale.

Ma Fushan's expression was slightly softened, and he said kindly: "Thousands of miles to be an official for money." Why didn't you say it earlier? I have to catch your sore feet to be honest. I won't tell you anything else, but you will share half of my reward. ”

He was sunny at one time, rainy at one time, hot at one time, and cold at one time, and rubbed an old beggar so that he could no longer have any other thoughts. He hugged Ma Fushan's leg and said loudly: "Master housekeeper, I will listen to you for everything!" Listen to everything! You are sharp-eyed, and I will tell you all of them...... I was serving Mrs. Zhuang, Mrs. Zhuang's family was getting down, I had a crooked heart for a while, and stole a calligraphy and painting of Mrs. Zhuang, who knew that the twelve masters of the Gu family found out, and Mrs. Zhuang sent me ten taels of silver and drove me out of the banker's house...... I've been a trader, I've been a groom, I've been a coachman, I've been a picker...... I don't have a wife or children...... Life is really unbearable...... I want to borrow a few taels of silver from Miss Zhuang, but no matter how bad it is, I can borrow a few taels of silver from Uncle Zhuang...... I never thought that Miss Zhuang was gone, and Master Bai of the Cheng family also died of illness, Mrs. Bai didn't know anything about the two families of Cheng Zhuang, and Uncle Zhuang didn't know where to run in order to avoid debts...... I originally wanted to find the eldest lady of the Zhou family, but I didn't expect to run into the Cheng family's uncle......"

"What did you say?" People like Ma Fushan couldn't help but change their expressions, and said, "The one who gave you the silver was the Cheng family's uncle?" ”

"yes!" The old beggar didn't realize how shocking his words were, he wiped his nose with his sleeve, and said, "Uncle Yu said, this matter has spread out, and Lord Yu Bai's reputation is hindered, so I must not make a noise, first gave me twenty taels of silver, and then gave me thirty taels of silver...... I originally wanted to get more silver, but I found the family that used to be a groom, so I didn't dare to stay in Jinling City for long...... If I hadn't had no way out this time, and I heard that the second lady had treated those servants who had served Mrs. Zhuang in the past, I wouldn't have come back......" He said this, and asked Ma Fushan worriedly, "I'm like this, I have served Mrs. Zhuang, I should be more decent than the one who has served Mrs. Zhuang, and I can be regarded as a loyal servant, right?" ”

And the faithful servant? Clearly a scoundrel!

Ma Fushan was speechless, and said perfunctorily: "It should be counted!" I've asked the second lady to know. ”

The old beggar was overjoyed, salivating and said, "Then, the housekeeper, when can the second lady's silver be rewarded?" Look at me, a penny is hard to beat a hero, can you lend me a few pennies first, and when the second lady's bounty comes down, I will return it to you......"

"Well said, well said." Ma Fushan said, seeing Shi Xiang come out from behind the middle hall and handed him a note.

He glanced at it hurriedly, and asked the beggar, "Someone must prove what you say." You said that the Gu family knew, but who else in the Gu family knew? Uncle Zhen gave you silver, who can testify? ”

The beggar thought for a long time and said, "The twelve masters of the Gu family...... It's been several years since she passed away. Who else in the Gu family knows...... I can't tell...... But the eldest master of the Zhou family should know...... Uncle Lu's silver was not given to me by him personally, but by a person surnamed Zhao next to him......"

Surname Zhao?

Zhao Dahai!

Zhou Shaojin's fingertips trembled.

Zhao Dahai is Cheng Lu's entourage.

A servant of the Cheng family.

He is the most trusted person in Cheng Lu.

Most of the things that Cheng Lu gave her were transferred to her through Zhao Dahai.

There is no need to verify it, Zhou Shaojin has already affirmed that the one who sealed the silver for this beggar is Cheng Lu.

Cheng Lu knew the grievances between the two families, why did he still ask to marry her? No, Cheng Lu didn't ask to marry her, he asked to marry Wu Baozhang! He just made his grandmother and uncle feel that he liked her and that he wanted to marry her......

Zhou Shaojin was cold.

She held on to the armrest of the Taishi chair, and barely fell down.

"Shi Xiang," she heard her own hoarse voice, "you go and ask, when was that?" ”

Shi Xiang looked frightened, she whispered "yes", turned around and walked out of the back hall.

"It was two years ago." The old beggar said, "I remember clearly, the first time it was sealed with brown paper, it was a silver cake, a total of ten pieces......

Two years ago, she was ten years old.

It was from that time that Cheng Lu began to appear in front of her eyes.

Zhou Shaojin's eyes were red, and he hid his face and said, "Reward the old beggar with thirty taels of silver, send him out!" ”

Shi Xiang curtsied.

The room quickly fell silent.

Zhou Shaojin sat on the chair in a daze, feeling that the light in the room was gradually dimming, so he stood up and said in a deep voice: "Let's go back!" ”

Shi Xiang responded, helped Zhou Shaojin out of the back door, got into the sedan chair that had been waiting there, and returned to Wanxiangju.

Zhou Chujin was anxiously standing under the eaves waiting for Zhou Shaojin.

Seeing them coming back, she hurriedly greeted them and said anxiously, "Why did you come back at this time?" My grandmother asked about it just now? Did you buy what you said? ”

Zhou Shaojin coaxed Mrs. Guan to let her go out under the pretext of preparing a birthday gift for Mrs. Guan's birthday.

But at this time, she couldn't even show a smile to comfort her sister.

"It's good that I bought it early in the morning." Zhou Shaojin said tiredly, "When the time comes, just give it directly to my grandmother." ”

She stumbled into the inner chamber and threw herself on the bed.

Zhou Chujin chased after him.

"What's wrong?" She sat on the edge of the bed, worried.

"I don't know how to tell you yet." Zhou Shaojin buried his face on the pillow, "When I think about it, I'll talk to my sister." ”

Zhou Chujin didn't force her, gently stroked her shoulder, and walked out gently.

Zhou Shaojin slept hard, and when he woke up, he was already on the moon.

She thought about it and went to her sister Zhou Chujin.

Zhou Chujin was fighting.

Hearing the movement, she raised her head and smiled, "I thought you should wake up too." Okay, I'll make a pot of tea for the winter evening, and you can talk to me well. ”

Zhou Shaojin sat down beside her sister with a smile and started a tie with her sister.

"Mother, it turned out that she had a close ......relationship with Cheng Bai's father, Cheng Baiding," she said, but Zhou Chujin was thrilled to hear it.

The lights on the desk swayed in the wind, and the room was bright and dark.

"And what are your plans?" Zhou Chujin held Zhou Shaojin's hand tightly, "Don't listen to those gossips." Even if his mother and Cheng Bai quit their relationship, it was because Cheng Bai was too frivolous and had nothing to do with his mother. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe that your father is. Otherwise, my mother has been dead for so many years, and my father would not have been able to respect my mother so much. ”

My sister is afraid that she will doubt her mother's character, right?

Zhou Shaojin said: "I also think that this matter has nothing to do with my mother, if Cheng Bai hates his mother because of this, he can only say that he is narrow-minded and cynical." It couldn't be more true that my grandfather didn't marry his mother to him. I just can't forgive Cheng Chen. How could he frame me so vilely......"

Zhou Chujin was afraid that Zhou Shaojin would take revenge on Cheng Yan because of this. She advised her sister: "You already know about this, let's just ignore him." I can't afford to delay myself for him. ”

But sometimes, if you don't offend him, he won't let you go.

For example, in previous lives.

She had already hid in Daxing's grange and was waiting for death, and Cheng Lu had to chase after her and coax her to elope with him...... What kind of revenge, it's not enough to kill someone, but you have to send her to the eighteenth layer of hell to be willing!
