Fang Chu turned his head sideways, saw the dumb face with tears, hurriedly surrounded her, and said softly: "Don't cry." The old lady will be reluctant to leave. Be happy and let your grandmother go with peace of mind. ”

Dumb on his back, he nodded to him lightly with tears in his eyes.

She cried because she couldn't help it.

Although Aunt Lin harmed her, and the blame is inescapable, from another point of view, because of the Guo family's trouble, it also led to the death of the old lady, Fang Chu, her in-laws and the old lady did not blame her, she was very uneasy, and she blamed herself very much.

Fang Chu tried his best to wipe her tears, but he couldn't wipe them away.

He was in a hurry, took her in his arms, and pressed the back of her neck to his chest.

Fang Hanhai silently looked at their hugging figures, perhaps because they were the same husband and wife, and suddenly turned his head to Yan and said, "I shouldn't hide it from you." I shouldn't have disbelieved you. I've wronged you. ”

Yan was stunned, is the master apologizing to her?

Her lips quirmed, and she said with difficulty, "I don't blame you." ”

The matter involves his own sister, and it is reasonable for him to conceal it.

……

Dumb and pregnant, she no longer took care of things the next day, and Gao Yunxi presided over the inner house, assisted by Fang Chu's sister-in-law and second cousin-in-law, and the Fang Wen sisters also helped.

From beginning to end, it is the grandchildren and daughters-in-law who take care of everything.

The eldest lady sincerely envies and admires her mother-in-law: even if she is dead, this residual power is not reduced, she is also a mother-in-law, and she is too old to be an old man!

※

The new emperor ascended the throne and wantonly purged the remnants of the deposed crown prince and other princes, leaving many vacancies in the court and various places, and a number of young officials such as Cai Ming and Cui Mei were exceptionally reused.

Cui Mei was appointed as the prefect of Ningbo under the jurisdiction of Linhu Prefecture.

On the way to his post by boat, he rescued a woman who had fallen into the water.

……

Jiangnan magistrates were raided one after another, and a large number of family assets were copied.

At this time of rumors, there are still those who are bold enough to divide a part of their huge wealth and hide their collections, leaving a way back for their families.

In the dark night, in the wilderness of the countryside, here is a branch of the Jingjiang River, and a medium-sized boat is moored at the water's edge, and there is only a little light on the boat, as if everyone is sleeping.

There are also a few small boats moored upstream, and the people on board are still discussing.

A quarter of an hour later, the boats drifted down silently.

Stopping half a mile away from the big boat, several dark shadows quietly went into the water and rowed towards the big boat......

Half an hour later, the call of an owl sounded in the night.

The boats started again and drifted down the river.

After approaching the big boat, the black shadows emerged from the water, and moved the boxes from the big boat to the small boat, and it took more than a dozen times to move them back and forth before they were finished.

"Let's go!" Someone drank low.

The boat quickly departed, and the water returned to calm.

Before dawn, these people came to the mansion of a Zhuangzi, transported the boxes into the backyard and buried them deeply, and then went to the front, where a banquet was set up in the morning, and everyone sat around the table to eat wine.

There are men and women, Huo Ran is the second master of Bao, and the woman is Xia Liuying.

Bao Erye picked up the wine glass and said in a deep voice: "Since you follow me and push me to be the boss, I won't disappoint you." This time, I will get half of the goods, and each of the three of you will get 10%, and the remaining 20% will be used to buy ships, recruit people, and expand the fleet. ”

One of the three men is Zhang Zhen, and the other two are also boatmen.

After listening to Bao Erye's words, the three of them were all overjoyed, and swore excitedly that in the future, they would follow Bao Er Shao to lead their lives and follow him.

Second Master Bao and Xia Liuying glanced at each other, smiled and nodded.

Everyone raised a glass and drank and had fun together.

After a few rounds of drinking, a man worried: "What if those people wake up and report to the official?" ”

Bao Erye said: "They don't dare. ”

Another man said: "The boss is soft-hearted, if I kill them all according to my will, it will be a hundred......"

"That's what I mean," Xia Liuying, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, her tone was very unkind, "We are not robbers who kill people and oversell goods. This time, because the other party is a corrupt official, he wants to hide and transfer these stolen goods and family property after his house is raided, so we will take it and make a windfall. If you do murder, isn't that looking for death! ”

The man was unconvinced and said, "If you take these treasures, no one will know?" ”

Xia Liuying said: "They were already evading the government's investigation, how dare they make a noise if they lose something?" I can only pinch my nose and think that I am unlucky. If you kill them, the government will track them down. What is it that is not self-defeating? Even if it is a fluke, the government can't find out about us, but if everyone knows that more than a million belongings have been lost on the river, then don't you make a fuss and look for it! ”

She sat upright, her back straight, and her bearing was like that.

Several men didn't dare to look at her face directly, and they only felt that the pressure was doubled.

Bao Ershao kept bowing his head and drinking, and Ren Xia Liuying reprimanded them.

When she finished training, he put down his wine glass, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.

The action, elegant and uninhibited, with disdainful eyes, seems to dislike them for being too stupid, and even struggles to explain, working with them, if you are not careful, you will be tired of yourself.

But when he spoke, it was completely another tone.

He said, "We won't do this again." I didn't have a chance to do it again. In the future, I will take you to do serious water business, so that your family can live a good life. ”

The three of them hurriedly said, "We all listen to the second master." ”

Zhang Zhen looked at Xia Liuying, and said, "Listen to Miss Xia too." ”

The two of them hurriedly said, "Yes, I want to listen to Miss Xia." ”

……

And when it was dawn, the crowd dispersed to rest.

Xia Liuying returned to the room with the support of Zhen's sister-in-law's daughter Xiaohe.

These people are all reckless men, in order to establish a simple and dignified image in their hearts, she drank a few glasses of wine, dizzy, closed her eyes, and let Xiaohe help her go.

So she didn't realize that this was not the way to her room.

Enter a room with lanterns hanging high and red tents hanging lightly; The red candles on the table shed tears, and the jade tripod was fragrant; Under the account of hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren, the mandarin duck pillow and the unicorn are flashing brightly, and it is a new house.

Bao Erye came in after him, and when Xiaohe helped Xia Liuying to lie down on the bed, he waved her back and personally stepped forward to help Xia Liuying take off her shoes and clothes.

Xiaohe didn't dare to look up, closed the door and left in a hurry.

Xia Liuying felt a pair of big hands roaming around her body, and a strong masculine aura was approaching her, so she suddenly opened her eyes and met the cold eyes and mean eyes of Second Master Bao.

"What are you doing?" Xia Liuying said in horror.

"Help you loosen your clothes." Second Master Bao replied.

"You, you audacity!" Xia Liuying shouted loudly, covering the placket on her chest.

"Today we are married." Bao Erye explained, more like an order.

Xia Liuying was stupid, her eyes swept around, only to find that this was not her own house, but a new house with the word "happy", so she panicked, and kicked at Bao Erye, wanting to jump out of bed and escape.

How could Second Master Bao let her go?

With just one pounce, he knocked down Xia Liuying and pressed up.

The sound of "whine" continued, mixed with crying and scolding, coming from the new house.

Sister-in-law Zhen couldn't bear to hear it, so she stayed away.

This one...... Tell me, should you congratulate Bao Ershao? (To be continued.) )
