Old Mrs. Yao's face changed suddenly, "Are you your own mother, only staring at your dowry at this time, no wonder the third child said that your mind is not in this family." ”

Now the mind of scolding her is not in this house.

Zhang raised his head, "It's the master who is going to take a leave of ...... concubine."

"What's the matter with you and the fifth?" Old Mrs. Yao sneered, "Could it be true that as said outside, you offended the eldest princess of Jianing because of the fifth child, don't think that I can't hear those words, it's not that the third child has saved face for you." ”

Yao Yiwen's face was red for a while, but she didn't expect her mother to mention this matter at this time.

There are really such rumors out there?

He seemed to have been slapped in the face a few times, and he was immediately hot.

Mrs. Yao said, "I think you are Brother Huan's biological mother, and you can raise Brother Huan well, so I persuaded the third child, who knew that you now want to take the dowry out of the gate of the Yao family, and you don't even care about Brother Huan." ”

As soon as Zhang was about to argue, another subordinate hurried into the inner courtyard, holding a small blue cloth bag in his hand and handing it to Yao Yiwen, Yao Yiwen could barely breathe, reached out and took the green cloth bag into his hand and opened it to see that it was a pair of children's shoes.

Zhang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the shoes, and was about to go to see them, but was snatched by Mrs. Yao.

Mrs. Yao turned her shoes over, and when she saw the "Persuasion Map" embroidered on the lining, she immediately shouted, "This is Brother Huan's, this is Brother Huan's shoes, my Brother Huan, hurry up...... Let people go to find it, find out the person who delivered this package, torture him, and ask him where he took my brother Huan. ”

Zhang's calm heart suddenly jumped wildly. There was still a look of disbelief in her eyes.

But those shoes are too similar to the pair that Brother Huan wore when he left Yao's house.

If it weren't for the people who saw Brother Huan, how could they get these shoes.

What the hell is going on?

Fan's mother is dead. She wanted to ask, but she didn't know who to ask.

Impossible, how is this possible.

Old Lady Yao suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Zhang, "You ruthless poisonous woman." ”

Zhang didn't notice for a moment that he was pulled and fell to the ground.

What if it's really Brother Huan? If it is really Brother Huan, let alone 100,000 taels of silver, she will have to redeem it even if she is bankrupt.

Old Lady Yao's shrill voice echoed in her ears.

Zhang's raised his head was Yao Yiwen's disappointed face, Zhang's heart was already confused, and he didn't know how to respond.

……

The Yao family made a fuss for a while. He Ying listened to the news outside, and after a while, the eyeliner placed in the Yao family came to announce, "The third master called the account room to raise money. The third lady refused to use the dowry, and now the old lady has become angry. ”

100,000 taels of silver.

He Ying spit out the grass stalk in her mouth, "The second grandmother's calculation is really accurate, and the dowry of Mrs. Yao San will inevitably be used for 100,000 taels of silver." ”

Looking at the gate of Yao's house. He Ying had a flirtatious look on his face. What about the rich and noble, in the end, the most reluctant thing is not human life but money.

It is really strange that Mrs. Yaosan, the mother, should value money more than her son's life.

Wan Ning gently flicked the abacus at home.

didn't notice that Cui Yiting had come back from the yamen, changed his clothes and stood aside and looked at her with a smile.

His eyebrows were coated with a soft glow in the light.

"The second master is back." Wan Ning put down the accounts in her hand.

Cui Yiting sat on the soft couch and talked about the Yao family, "I heard that the Zhang family refused to sell Zhuangzi. ”

Wan Ning nodded, the 100,000 taels of silver she calculated, the Yao family would never be able to raise it within three days, and her father would definitely go to the Zhang family to ask for the dowry in her hand.

Brother Huan lost it. Zhang looked very sad, but there was no substantive action. Guang Engong borrowed illness to recuperate at home, and just sent a few family members to look aimlessly in Beijing.

So she asked people to test Zhang.

A mother, when she saw the robbers' intimidation, was unmoved, Zhang is not a very calm person.

One temptation was not enough, and she tried again.

Zhang was still not in a hurry to take out the dowry in his hand.

is so confident because he already knows where Brother Huan has gone.

But after all, the deadline written by the "robber" is there, and Zhang can't help but be frightened, and the next step will be to see where Zhang's chess pieces fall.

Wan Ning always felt that she was not far from the answer, as long as she took one more step, she could guess eight points, and all she needed was to connect all her doubts together.

In due course, the whole secret can be revealed.

Cui Yizheng gently stirred the abacus in front of Wan Ning, and the warm breath reached Wan Ning's ears, "It seems that if I go home one day, our husband and wife don't have to worry about their livelihoods." ”

"Just be a male and female thief."

Cui Yiting squinted his eyes slightly, his slender fingers rolled Wanning's belt, and his mouth was full of smiles, "The emperor asked my officials to recommend a candidate to go to Fujian to replace Deng Sichang." ”

"The secretary of the ministry asked his father-in-law to draw up the candidates."

Let my father draw up a candidate to go to Fujian, this is the first time, although my father is a servant of the ministry, but he has never had the right to second, not the right to recommend candidates.

This time, the officials arranged like this, because they wanted their father to figure out what Cui Yiting meant.

Cui Yiting is just a matter of Jinyi Wei, and he already has such a great power in the eyes of others.

Wan Ning raised her head, "Who does the second master want to recommend to the emperor?" ”

Cui Yiting looked casual and leisurely, but his eyes were clear, and for some reason Wan Ning felt that there was a kind of calculation hidden in it, shining in the light.

Cui Yiting's eyes fell on Wanning's neck, red silk threads, mutton fat jade lined with her white skin was very beautiful.

"Wanning," Cui Yiting took Wanning's hand, obviously lying on the kang, but it seemed that he was still straight, "I just realized that I am a stingy person." ”

She asked Cui Yiting if she already had a candidate to go to Fujian in her heart, but Cui Yiting suddenly said such a sentence.

……

Zhang didn't close his eyes all night, and finally fell asleep but dreamed that Brother Huan was being held to his neck with a knife, and shouted loudly, "Mother, mother, help me." ”

Zhang broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly opened his eyes.

Brother Huan, she desperately wants to see Brother Huan now.

Could something really happen, Brother Huan really fell into the hands of robbers.

Zhang couldn't sit still anymore, and instructed his subordinates, "Prepare the carriage and horses, I want to go back to my parents' house." ”

After changing his clothes and eating some casual food, Zhang walked out of the courtyard and saw his subordinates moving things out of the house from a distance.

Zhang lowered his face and looked at the lower person, "What is this going to do?" ”

The little maid was holding the pair of pastel plum blossom vases she and Yao Yiwen used when they got married.

The little maid hurriedly said: "The old lady and the old man ordered that these things should be pressed into the pawnshop." ”

There was a tense atmosphere everywhere in the house, for fear that the news would surprise those robbers, Yao Yi was not allowed to reveal a word from the steward, and everyone in the family thought that the Yao family owed outsiders money.

Yao Yiwen has never been so nervous.

Zhang's original determined mind began to waver.

The two of them got into the carriage, and Ru Mother sat aside to wipe her tears, "Madam, you really don't sell the Zhuangzi in your hand?" Do you want my lord to help me catch those robbers this time? ”

Why did she go back, she could still tell Fan's mother in the past, but now she ...... The people around me don't fully know the ins and outs of it.

Seeing Ru's mother's red eyes, Zhang's heart gradually sank.

When he arrived at Zhang's house, Zhang immediately got out of the carriage and went straight to Zhang Qicheng's house, telling Zhang Qicheng everything about the documents he received last night, "Father, quickly arrange for someone to let me meet Brother Huan." ”

Only when she sees Brother Huan can she feel at ease.

Zhang Qicheng's face sank, "What are you suspicious of, Brother Huan is a good ......"

"Has my father seen Brother Huan these days?" Zhang's eyes widened, "Those people sent Brother Huan's shoes...... Father, look, these are the shoes worn by Brother Huan. ”

Zhang Qicheng looked at the Zhang family whose eyes were red, and now Cui Yiting made people stare at them, they didn't dare to make any moves, especially Brother Huan, who was originally taken out of Yao's house in order to prevent Cui Yiting and Yao's family, and after hiding Brother Huan, Fan's mother committed suicide, and others could no longer find out Brother Huan's traces.

They carefully arranged it so that everyone would be caught off guard by waiting for the day when everything was ready.

So you can't go to Brother Huan at this time.

Zhang Qicheng said: "Brother Huan is protected, you don't have to worry, don't believe those things." ”

Don't believe it.

She didn't believe it either.

Zhang Qicheng frowned, "You can't spoil a big thing because of a little wind and grass, you have to know what we are seeking?" ”

Zhang suddenly felt that he was stepping on the blade of a knife, and he would be split in half anytime and anywhere.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, she remembered her father's gloomy face, her father sat on the chair with his head down, and her mother comforted her, "We are not honorable ministers, although we have been closer to Duanwangye, we are not high-ranking officials and dignitaries who cannot be noticed." ”

The father said: "When the emperor was the prince, he asked people to check the horse politics, talk about the salt road, and rectify the rule of the officials several times, and when they sit firmly in place, they will start to clean up Fujian and Zhejiang, not to mention wealth and glory, we will be involved sooner or later." ”

knew that there would be this day, so when I heard that King Duan was not dead, her father would marry her to the Yao family, and with a neutral courtier like Yao Yiwen as a shield, they could advance or retreat.

Well thought out.

When they decided to support Duanwang Dongshan's comeback, they had no way out.

She has no place in the Yao family.

If there is no more Brother Huan, she will really have nothing.

Zhang shook his head, "I don't believe it, I can't believe it, unless my father asks me to see Brother Huan, otherwise...... I...... I don't believe it," said tears streaming down his eyes, "Father, I only have one child, Brother Huan, so let me meet Brother Huan!" ”

When she saw those little shoes, she could remember the appearance of Brother Huan running around with a smile.

My mind was full of Brother Huan's voice.

She couldn't wait, couldn't wait like this.

Zhang Qicheng stiffened his face, "In the woman's opinion, you want to ruin my years of hard work?" ”
