Chapter 132: Face
The momentary silence in the warm pavilion made Zhang even more uneasy, although there were only three people here, she felt that everyone was waiting to see her shortcomings.
Especially in front of the eldest princess, she has never been so embarrassed.
She hurriedly came from Yao's house, not like she came to pick up Wanning, but more like she wanted to cover up, no matter who heard these words, they would feel that this qiē was inseparable from her.
Zhang's face turned pale, "Thanks to General Zhenguo's wife, otherwise our family really doesn't know what the chaos will become, it's all because I didn't take care of the family, so there will be such a thing, and I will definitely find out after I go back." ”
Whether it is in the boudoir or after marrying a woman, Zhang's reputation is very good, if he hadn't seen Wanning, who would have thought that Zhang's would have such a means.
Cui Yingrong sighed, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. He didn't go on.
The eldest princess of Jianing was not easy to interject on the side, and Zhang felt more and more embarrassed, and stood up, "There are still many things at home, so I will go back first today." ”
Cui Yingrong looked at the hourglass on the Duobao Pavilion, "Then I'll invite Mrs. Yao San over another day." ”
Zhang said a few kind words and walked out of the warm pavilion.
Cui Yingrong was about to instruct his subordinates to prepare the carriage, when the steward at the door came in and said, "Madam, someone from the Yao family picked up Miss Seven, it was a post sent by the master of the Yao family." ”
Zhang's eyes widened, and today's events surprised her again and again.
"Sir? The old man came to pick up Wanning? Why didn't you tell us. ”
As soon as Zhang's words came out, the eldest princess of Jianing next to her frowned. Zhang's words are too inappropriate, this is in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Zhang said this. is to blame General Zhenguo's wife for not arranging things well.
Even if the Zhenguo General's Mansion deliberately delayed the news to the Zhang family, since the matter had happened, the Zhang family should accept it, and saying such things would not only be unbeneficial, but also rude.
The Zhang family was really angry with Yao Wanning, the eldest daughter, and lost proportion.
Zhang instructed Mother Sun, "Let the carriage come over, and we will go back quickly." As he spoke, he looked at the eldest princess of Jianing with an apologetic expression, "I should talk more to the eldest princess and her wife." ”
The eldest princess of Jianing played a round game. "How many years have you known each other, why are you still so alien to me, if you have something to do at home, go quickly."
Zhang nodded gratefully, saluted the eldest princess and Cui Yingrong, and led the people out of the courtyard.
……
"Oh no." Vanilla quickly walked into Zhang's yard. A few little maids were frolicking beside them, and Vanilla glared, "When is it, you are still messing around." ”
What's going on? The little maids looked at each other, didn't the wife go to the Zhenguo General's Mansion and haven't come back yet?
Vanilla didn't care about anything else, and went directly to the wing room to find Dangui.
The girls around my wife are all married, and there are two left, Yingui and Dangui, and my wife went to the Zhenguo General's Mansion to take Yingui. Leave Dangui to take care of at home.
"What's wrong?" Dangui frowned, "Mrs. is back?" ”
Vanilla shook her head.
Dangui stood up and sat back down. This family is the biggest, not a wife's business, it's not a big deal.
Vanilla said: "Sister Dangui, it's the master, the master asked the housekeeper and Miss Seven's mother to inspect the house." ”
The housekeeper and the child's mother checked? Dangui was stunned for a moment, "Why is this?" How dare the wife check casually when she is not at home," he paused, and instructed the little maid, "Go, tell the steward, no matter how they check the house of the wife and the eighth master, they can't check it, and even if they want to check, they will have to wait until the wife comes back." ”
The little maid answered and was going down.
Vanilla wiped the sweat from her head, "My good sister, can't I say these words yet?" But the master said, no matter who it is, you have to check it today, the wife naturally can't check it, what can the eighth master have, it's all us who are checked, if my sister has anything in her hand, ...... quickly."
Dangui's eyes narrowed, "What do I have in my hand?" Yes, it was given by his wife, and it was above board, who dared to find out anything. ”
As soon as Dangui's words fell, he heard a bustling sound in the courtyard, Dangui stood up and went out to look, only to see Steward Qiao and Tong's mother enter the door.
"Steward Qiao, Mother Tong," Dangui greeted him with a slightly surprised expression, "What are you here for?" My wife is not at home, so I have to wait for my wife to come back. ”
Tong's mother looked at Dangui, "The master said, don't wait for the wife, we won't look at the wife's things, so go to the next room, the girl will take us over, let's check quickly, the master and Miss Seven are still waiting to hear the news." ”
Using the old man and Miss Seven to press her, Dangui held back the anger in her heart, "What Mom said is, but ...... After all, it is in the wife's yard, and everyone's things are put in one place on weekdays, some of which are the belongings of the wife and the eighth master, if there is any damage, the wife blames who will bear it. ”
"I'll carry it."
A clear voice came, and Dangui raised her head in surprise and saw Miss Seven who was slowly walking into the courtyard.
Wan Ning said lightly: "Mother is not at home, my father ordered to be checked, I am afraid that Mother Tong and their subordinates will follow me if they don't know the severity, in case something happens, I will explain to my mother." ”
Dangui was stunned, she didn't expect Miss Seven to say this, it is difficult for Miss Seven to be not afraid of Mrs. at all.
Mother Tong brought her two mothers-in-law into the house, and the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets was immediately heard in the house.
Dangui's face became more and more ugly.
……
Zhang got out of the car at the Hanging Flower Gate and walked all the way to the inner house with Mother Sun and Yingui.
In the past, when she returned home, there were always people rushing to serve, but today it was very quiet, and she went up to the corridor before her daughter-in-law came out.
"Is Miss Seven back?" Zhang asked.
The daughter-in-law nodded, "I'm back, the third master is also back, and the eldest master in the second room is also in the study now." ”
They all gathered at home to do something.
"Madam," the daughter-in-law was a little nervous, "the lord asked Steward Qiao and Mother Tong to check all the houses and find out a few bags of silver. There were also some sachets and letters, the old man was furious, and there were many subordinates kneeling in the courtyard. are waiting for the old man to leave. ”
Zhang only felt dizzy for a while, Wan Ning came back from the Zhenguo General's Mansion first to inspect the belongings of the subordinates? Zhang gritted his teeth.
Wan Ning seemed to have known that she would come to the door, so she waited for her to talk to Cui's and take the opportunity to go home before her.
If she was in Yao's house, she wouldn't let them mess around.
Zhang felt that the hair on the top of her head was going to stand up, and she was calculated by Yao Wanning.
Zhang quickened his pace, and a gust of wind passed the Moon Gate. Back to the yard where she lived.
The maid and mother-in-law stood on both sides, and there were seven or eight girls and daughters-in-law kneeling on the ground, and Yao Yiwen sat on the pestle with anger on her face. The little guy next to him was holding a few packages, and there were many purses, letters and other things on the stone table in the courtyard.
Seeing Zhang, Yao Yiwen frowned and looked over, his eyes sharp and angry. Zhang couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
"Sir. What's going on? ”
Yao Yiwen didn't speak, but looked at Mother Sun beside Zhang's side, "Steward Qiao, tie Mother Sun, interrogate her carefully, and if she refuses to speak, she will be sent to the yamen." ”
Mother Sun suddenly panicked, and knelt down as soon as her legs were weak, "Master spare your life." The slave didn't know what was wrong to make the master so angry, ma'am. Mrs......"
Listening to the voice of Mother Sun's shouting, Zhang looked at Yao Yiwen, "Master, what is there to arrest Mother Sun, Mother Sun has been serving with all her heart, and nothing has ever gone wrong." ”
Yao Yiwen sneered and looked at the little guy, who immediately showed the burden in his hand to Zhang, and the green cloth bag was opened, revealing a large pile of broken silver inside.
"All this money was found in Mama Sun's house."
Mother Sun's eyes widened, and she shouted in panic for a while, "Those things are not slaves, not slaves." "She'd never seen that bag of things, how could it be hers.
"I searched it out of your house, and I still don't admit it," Yao Yiwen said coldly, "Wan Ning's mother-in-law who followed the car found a lot of silver, I want to see if it is really a thief." ”
Zhang was horrified in his heart and raised his head to look at Wan Ning.
Wan Ning stood beside Yao Yiwen and looked at her with those shining eyes.
Zhang seemed to go back to a few years ago, she was sitting on the ground, and Mother Sun shouted in a panic, "Miss pushed Mrs. down." ”
At that time, she calmly looked at the panicked Wanning.
Now Wan Ning made such a big move under her nose, not only checked the things of the next person, but also arrested her mother for interrogation.
"Does the master suspect that the concubine has let people buy off the people who follow the car?" Zhang's eyes widened and looked at Yao Yiwen, "What do you mean by this, master?" Could it be that if you find the silver, you are a thief? ”
Wan Ning looked at Zhang, "Mother, my father is afraid that someone in the family will harm me with that mother-in-law, and Mother Sun is the person next to my mother," she said and lowered her head, "Unlike others, my father still don't ask." ”
asked, I'm afraid that Mother Sun will suffer, and I don't know what to say.
Don't ask, it seems that she is deliberately partial, and their master and servant have some ulterior secrets.
This is to make it difficult for her to ride a tiger.
Wanning said something like that aggrieved again, even if she didn't check it now, it would be helpless.
"Master," Zhang's eyes were moist, and he was very aggrieved, "You are like this, how will the concubine take care of the house in the future." ”
Dangui, Mother Sun, this is to arrest everyone around her.
Zhang's tears suddenly flowed, "Something happened to Wanning, don't you take a closer look at the outside first, and check it out from your own house first...... That's it, our family has never done an inspection, let outsiders know, and it should be a concubine to harm Wanning. ”
Listening to Zhang's words, Yao Yiwen was silent for a while, Zhang was not at home, he asked people to check Zhang's face, Yao Yiwen was about to speak, only to hear a helpless sigh from the side, very light but heartfelt.
Yao Yiwen turned his head and saw Wan Ning with an obscure face, as if he had expected it, and he was still a little sad.
"Father," Wan Ning lowered her head, "The daughter has long said that if you don't check, it will make your mother sad." ”
In the end, he is still in charge of this family, and this courtyard is still surnamed Yao.
Can't Zhang be unhappy, he won't ask clearly.
If there is such a big thing, if you don't check your own house carefully, the ins and outs of this matter will be known to outsiders in the future, and I don't know how to laugh at the Yao family.
Yao Yiwen looked at Zhang, "There is a reason for the incident, it is not more than usual, and I can't take care of it much, as long as I can explain the origin of these things carefully, I will naturally not embarrass them." ”
