In the early morning of winter, a thin layer of silvery-white frost was spread on the ground, and a stream of cold air drilled straight into the cracks of the bones, the wind in the forest whined, and only the remaining ashes were left in a pile of fire in front of him, Guo Xincheng stood up and stretched his frozen body, the sky outside was still dark, and it was easy for the red sun to rise, and the barracks were alive, blowing a loud horn.

Li Mingwei heard the report from the junior colonel, the old housekeeper in his house came over again, and hurriedly returned to the barracks with a few words from the deputy general, Guo Xincheng saw the Hou Ye kneeling on the ground, "The old slave should die." ”

The old housekeeper still had straw on his head, his face was white from the cold, and his body was shaking, and he knew at a glance that he had frozen in the broken temple last night, and Hou Ye Li couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "Say, what happened in the house!" This Hou Ye can stand it. ”

"The old lady and the lady have discussed, and there will be a banquet in the house today, by the way, by the way,"

"Don't you say it soon!"

Guo Xincheng gritted his teeth, "Madame wants to entrust all the housework to the eldest son, and the old lady also agreed, and today I will ask the wives of each family to testify, saying that in the future, the title of the Hou Mansion will belong to the third prince, and the money will belong to the eldest son." ”

Li Mingwei was stunned for a moment but smiled, sat down slowly, and had the leisure to bring the old housekeeper a cup of hot tea, "You tell me slowly." ”

Hou Ye was not as angry as he imagined, Guo Xincheng breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said everything he knew, Li Mingwei narrowed his eyes slightly, and a ray of light appeared in his eyes, "Old Guo, what do you think of this?" ”

Guo Xincheng didn't understand what Hou Ye meant, and he couldn't see that Hou Ye was angry, "The old slave thinks that the eldest son is still young, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to support such a big family business." ”

Li Mingwei sneered, "Brother Shen thinks he is smart. He likes to be smart, he was calculated by the Qi family and didn't know it, he wanted to take care of the housekeeper, then let him take care of it, and when the time came, he couldn't eat and walked around, and it was not too late to teach him a lesson. ”

Li Mingwei smiled when he saw that the old housekeeper didn't understand, and filled the stove with carbon. "How shrewd my good wife is. She first gave Brother Shen a sweet date, let the kid take care of it, and wait for Brother Shen to grow up. Shouldn't all the properties in Brother Shen'er's hands have to be handed over? The accounts in the house are counted, and the gongs and drums are invited to testify, and there are aunts and grandmothers watching from the side, and Brother Shen can't take too much advantage. By the time he understands that it's too late, he has to take care of the house's general affairs if he doesn't want to. ”

Guo Xincheng slapped his head. "Madame's trick is really wonderful, first give the eldest son a little hope, let him do rough work for the third son, and the third son has his aunt and grandmother behind him. It's just that the Hou Ye, the general affairs are handed over to the eldest prince, in case the new lady in the future——"

Li Ming only seemed to be smiling. "Why bother with this, someone has to be in charge of the house. The old lady doesn't care about anything, a few girls are someone else's sooner or later, that is, the old man also wants to ask Brother Shen to take care of the housework, and he is afraid that the kid will be lazy and slippery and bargain with the old man, the lady has done the marquis a big favor, that is, the new lady in the future has no hope in her heart, and the house in the province is restless, this kid is still a little tender, and he is waiting for Ben Hou to free up his hands to clean him up. ”

"Hou Ye is wise, Hou Ye is wise."

Sent back to the old housekeeper, Li Mingwei pondered for a while, and began to grind and write the fold again, begging to be able to return home to accompany the seriously ill good wife, it is really a word of blood and tears, which makes people sad, Li Houye has been on three folds in a row yesterday, the emperor's reply has not come down, read this fold again, Li Mingwei was moved by himself, sent someone to present it, and was busy practicing people.

When Guo Xincheng hurried back, he inquired about the banquet in the flower hall, and he didn't know what was going on in the inner house.

Qi deliberately dressed up, covered the haggard face with rouge, sat in the warm pocket, several mothers-in-law carried over, the old lady sat on the master's seat, frequently raised a glass to Mrs. Zhao, the rough mother-in-law carried the account book here, looking at the pile of account books as high as a hill, when the ladies who are used to the family will smile, today's Anguo Houfu is a little interesting, and there are also things that can't be understood, and the curiosity just looks at it.

The old lady raised her glass first and said, "Our brother Shen is a good one, the child is filial, because he was partial to the family last time, and he didn't give Brother Shen much money, and the child didn't have anything to spend, I heard my granddaughter come back and say, Brother Shen'er didn't even have decent ornaments in the child's house, so how could I bear it as a grandmother." ”

Yutan received a report from her mother last night, let her just listen, don't interject and speak, Yutan came and was also arranged in the guest seat, and she couldn't help but feel stunned, this is her mother's house, there is no part for her to speak, she heard her grandmother say such a thing, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, grandmother should be careful about where her brother is.

If someone with a heart chews and chews, it will become that Brother Shen is dissatisfied with the separation.

Qi Shi smiled coldly, this is the old lady of the Hou Mansion, she didn't have to do anything, she obviously wanted to help Brother Shen, look at what she said, Qi Shi nodded slightly, and a few stout servants pushed out a woman from behind, even Yutan was surprised in her heart, what mistake did Aunt Zhang make, and her mother wanted to make such a big move.

There was a sound of rustling on the seat, and the women of each family were interested, as the saying goes, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, what kind of medicine is sold in Qi's gourd, Xiao Shuhui next to him stabbed Yutan, Yutan had to shake his head and smile bitterly.

Qi Shi gasped and said, "My five-year-old son fell into the water a few years ago, but fortunately, Brother Shen saved his life. ”

Caidie hurriedly said what happened, she was articulate, the atmosphere was also well rendered, and she gestured to the windmill inserted in the stone by the pond, these ladies all gasped, chattering, what a vicious scheming!

Qi Shi wept and said, "Brother Shen, this child is benevolent and righteous, he jumped into the pond to save people in such a cold weather, if it weren't for Brother Shen, my son would have lost a little life, poor Brother Shen was also frostbitten, and the black-hearted and rotten lungs poisoned Brother Shen'er, Wang Tianxing of the Tai Hospital can testify that Brother Shen'er found rhubarb and gypsum in the decoction he ate, which are cold-causing medicines." ”

There was another inhalation sound in the seat, Yutan was a little dazed, she didn't even know.

The old lady was taken aback, "There is such a thing?" Why doesn't the old body know? ”

Qi Shi trembled and pointed at Aunt Zhang, "It's this vicious woman's doing!" She also wanted to blame Aunt Zhou, Hou Ye saw the windmill in Aunt Zhou's house, and he didn't check it for a while, it was Brother Shen'er who felt that it was wrong, and privately begged me to investigate carefully, so that he could avenge his aunt, Aunt Zhou was really wronged, but she lost her life when she met the bandits, so that Brother Shen was sad. ”

Aunt Zhang stuffed the cloth in her mouth, and she couldn't speak, and the mother-in-law pulled out the cloth in Aunt Zhang's mouth, and Aunt Zhang shouted, "The slave is wronged, the old lady is clear." ”

The old lady didn't know what to do for a while, so she shouted Mei Xiang for help, and after shouting, she remembered that Mei Xiang was gone, and she couldn't help but be annoyed. ”

Caidie smiled, "The ground near the old lady's Chunhui Hall is cleaned by this mother-in-law, and the pond and our wife's main house are managed by a mother-in-law Lin, our lady only checked Mrs. Lin at first, but it happened that she had a bad stomach on those days when the accident happened, and she was lazy and didn't go to work, she was afraid that the master's family would know, and then she saw us check before she said it." ”

Caidie smiled again, "Aunt Zhang helps our wife take care of the housework, and no one cares if there is no rough mother-in-law in the house, just make up for one horizontally and vertically, if it weren't for our eldest son, I wouldn't have bought back the mother-in-law in Yaxing." ”

Sellers also have contracts, Caidie took out Ma Pozi's deed of sale and shook it, "Aunt Zhang, what else do you have to say?" ”

Aunt Zhang's face was like ashes, and her eyes were resentful.

Caidie refused to let her go, "It's just one thing, Aunt Zhang always has to find someone to help her prevent disasters when she does such a lack of morality, the first one to find is Aunt Zhou, and there is also Aunt Qiao." ”

Aunt Qiao hid behind the bamboo curtain, and was arranged in this place early in the morning, scared in her heart, and saw that Aunt Zhang had an accident, and heard that she was also a ghost for the dead, so her legs were so frightened that her legs were weak, Brother Shen pushed her, "Don't hurry up and go out to confront her." ”

Aunt Qiao ran out and quickly knelt down, and Caidie asked her, "Why did you happen to appear on the edge of the pond when the third son had an accident?" ”

Aunt Qiao waved her hand desperately, "It has nothing to do with the slave family, the slave listened to the words of the sister of the Zhang family, she asked the slave and the maid to ask the lady for this month's monthly money, and the slave and maid went to find the lady, and happened to meet the two mothers-in-law who fished out the two sons from the water, and the slave and the maid were also frightened, so they helped send the two sons to the old lady." ”

Caidie then asked her, "You are an aunt, and the old lady is boiling medicine for the eldest son, why did you go over?" Is that where you should be? Is it your rhubarb? ”

Aunt Qiao was frightened and cried, "It's Zhang Yueniang who said that there is not enough manpower, let the slave go over and take care of it, Miss Hexiang boils medicine, the slave will come out as soon as he sees that there is nothing wrong, Mrs. Ming." ”

The lotus fragrance beside the old lady was so frightened that her face turned white, and she quickly knelt down, "That day, Aunt Zhang saw the fire of the slave maid boiling the medicine, and came to urge the slave and maid to hurry up, Aunt Qiao came to talk again, and the slave and maid went out to pick her up, and the slave didn't expect Aunt Zhang to have a black heart." ”

Qi asked, "Zhang, what else do you have to say?" Hou Ye took you a lot, why did you kill Brother Jin'er? Do you want to hurt Brother Shen? ”

Aunt Zhang shouted in a hoarse voice, "I hate you, I want to-"

Brother Shen came out from behind the curtain and kicked her hard, "My aunt was also killed by you!" Tell me who is behind your instructions! ”

Caidie said, "Eldest son, we still found this in Aunt Zhang's house." ”

It was a box of high-quality Dongzhu, each one was smooth and jade, not something that an aunt could have, Brother Shen threw himself on the old lady's knee and cried and said, "Grandmother, my aunt died so unjustly." ”

The old lady pointed at Aunt Zhang and trembled angrily, "Come on, kill this dog minion." ”

Brother Shen stood up solemnly, "There is national law!" ”

Four officials from the Criminal Department came out from behind, "We have all written it down, the eldest son, you can see if there are any discrepancies." ”

Brother Shen took it and looked at it and pressed the handprint, and then handed it to Qi, Qi Xiaoxiao also pressed the handprint, and handed it to the old lady, the old lady couldn't read, and the eldest grandson asked her to press the handprint.

The official bowed his hand and left, "Madam, don't worry, we will judge the case impartially and find out the instructions behind the scenes." (To be continued) R655
