Chapter 279: Flower Affair (4)
Perhaps because it has been hidden in the dark compartment on the side of the stove for a long time, there is a layer of black ash on the surface of the cage.
Fang Xianyu's family didn't care whether it was clean or not, and directly plastered it with his hands, revealing the iron surface of the cage, and when he opened it, he saw that there were gold and silver naked people neatly arranged inside, and the top layer was not missing.
She frowned, could it be that the layers below had been moved? Or has the cage on the other side of the stove been opened?
Fang Xianyu's family hesitated.
"What are you doing!"
The voice from behind frightened Fang Xianyu's family, almost fell to her knees, and when she turned her head to see that Fang Xianyu was back, she breathed a sigh of relief, and patted her chest with her black and gray hand: "Wrongdoer!" Are you going to scare me to death? ”
Fang Xianyu glanced outside the kitchen a few times, closed the door after coming in, walked to the stove in a few steps, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing with it?" Don't you know that now is the pinch? ”
"I don't feel good!" Fang Xianyu's family told Fang Xianyu about Tianbao picking up the golden nude in the yard, "I just want to see if you took it or Tianbao found it." ”
Fang Xianyu was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Elm head, you!" Can Tenpo discover this dark grid? Did he find that he had the strength to drag this cage? Small is small, and it is also really loaded with gold and silver, Tianbao is only five years old! You still guess I took it? Can you move these things at this time? Idiot! Take it back quickly. ”
Fang Xianyu's family was scolded, and his face was not happy, but after thinking about Fang Xianyu's words, he felt that it was indeed such a reason, and he suddenly didn't dare to care about anything else, and closed the lid of the cage. I want to stuff it back.
The kitchen door creaked open. Fang Xianyu's whole body stiffened. Slowly turn your head away.
Fang Xianyu saw the person clearly, and he was also stunned, and only after a long time did he tremble and shouted: "Dad......"
"What are you hiding?" Fang Huaide came in on crutches.
Fang Xianyu jumped up, went over to help Fang Huaide, and squeezed out a smile: "Dad, I originally wanted to bake some sweet potatoes, but this stupid woman didn't look at the heat well, and they were all burned." Father. The gentleman is far away from cooking, I am also afraid of the fire before I come in to see, since there is nothing to do, let's go out, let this woman come to cook. ”
Fang Xianyu's family stood up and stood in front of the stove, and nodded with a dry smile: "Dad, it's the daughter-in-law's fault, the sweet potato is baked and you are embarrassed, you hurry up and go to the house to rest for a while, and the daughter-in-law will cook." ”
Fang Huaide snorted and refused to leave. took a cane and pointed at Fang Xianyu's family: "Get out of the way, I'll see what the burn looks like." ”
Fang Xianyu's family pinched the corners of their clothes for a long time and refused to move a step.
Fang Huaide pushed Fang Xianyu away. stepped forward and opened Fang Xianyu's house, there was an iron cage in the exposed stove, he bent down and opened it, the gold inside shook his eyes, his somewhat rickety body shook, and he almost didn't stand up.
Fang Xianyu rushed over to support his father: "Dad, be careful!" ”
"Beware of the fart!" Fang Huaide waved Fang Xianyu away, stood against the stove, pointed to the cage and asked, "Tell me clearly, what is this?" ”
Fang Xianyu panicked, you look at me, I look at you.
Fang Huaide knocked his crutches twice: "Tell the truth! ”
Fang Xianyu knelt on the ground with a thud, and Fang Xianyu's family knelt down with him, kowtowing again and again.
"Daddy...... This, this ......"
"This is what you have hidden behind your master's back and my mother all these years, isn't it?" Fang Huaide opened his mouth for them, and was heartbroken, "Where did it come from?" Is it right in the storeroom? Melt and hit again? How many more are there besides these? So the treasury burned? Did you two eat the gall of the ambitious leopard? You guys! ”
The more Fang Huaide spoke, the more angry he became, so he raised his foot and gave his son and daughter-in-law a kick and walked out.
Fang Xianyu and his family got up from the ground and chased after him: "Dad, Dad, don't be angry." ”
Fang Huaide went straight back to the house, looked at the old woman lying on the bed, raised his hand and wiped his face: "Old woman, old woman, our Fang family has worked hard for decades to do things for the masters, and it will be ruined on these two shameless things!" ”
Fang Huaide's family didn't know what was going on, she only heard a dispute outside, so she asked a few questions.
Fang Xianyu and his family chased in, and when they saw their mother's shocked face, they quickly knelt down again.
Fang Huaide sat down on the pestle on the side and said coldly: "Tell your mother what good things you have done!" ”
Fang Xianyu shrunk his neck, and after saying a few words, he saw his mother's face change, and his voice became softer and softer after talking about the most.
Fang Huaide's family was trembling with anger, if she could get up, she would definitely give this bad son a few slaps, but she really couldn't move, so she could only slap the bed board with her hand: "Crazy, crazy!" I've been suffering for so many years, for the sake of my master's family business, I don't want my life! What am I lying in bed for? I hurt my leg and my waist and hurt my waist, but it's all the masters! You two are so rebellious! ”
Fang Huaide's family cried, and his voice was full of crying.
Fang Xianyu was uncomfortable when he heard it, and cried: "Mother, my son is also uncomfortable!" You are lying in bed, you need money to get medicine and see a doctor, and your son can't help it! ”
Fang Huaide's cry froze, and he turned his head to look at Fang Xianyu in disbelief: "So, you are doing this for me?" Is this a piece of your filial piety? ”
Fang Xianyu was stunned, he vaguely felt that this question was wrong, but he couldn't understand it for a while, and nodded stiffly.
Fang Huaide's family glanced at the teapot on the table.
Fang Xianyu's understanding quickly got up and poured a glass of water: "Mother-in-law, don't be angry, drink some water." ”
"My body has long been broken!" Fang Huaide's family grabbed the teacup, and threw it at Fang Xianyu, "You still know filial piety!" ”
The tea cup smashed on Fang Xianyu's forehead and shattered to the ground, and he covered his head in pain: "Mother, what are you doing!" ”
"I've killed you! And for me, phew! Can you take so many things for me? The whole cage is gold and silver, did I eat ginseng or deer antler velvet? Or do you want to save up and buy poison to poison the two of us? Haha Fang Huaide's family laughed and cried again. What a sin I have done. The old Fang family has been diligent and loyal for decades. How can I have the face to go underground to meet my in-laws! ”
When Fang Huaide heard this, his whole person was decadent, covered his face with his hands, and sighed: "How can I have a son like you!" Don't say anything else, let's go kowtow to the second master later. ”
"Daddy! Maybe the second master doesn't know the way at all! Fang Xianyu struggled.
"How could the second master not know the way?" Fang Huaide took a deep breath, "Even if you don't know the way, you have to confess!" ”
The movement in the courtyard of the Fang family was watched by someone. After a while, he came to Xia Yiqing and Zhen Xuan.
Xia Yiqing pinched the chess pieces in his hand, didn't say anything, and landed steadily.
Zhen Xuan twisted her eyebrows and pondered, but after all, she couldn't focus on the chess game, and asked, "Is the second master planning to wait for them to come by themselves?" ”
"What do you think?" Xia Yiqing didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
The location of the gold and silver is already clear, and it is okay to search for it, but looking at Fang Huaide's reaction in two breaths, he stole from the guards of his son and daughter-in-law. They should be completely unaware.
"Let's look at Fang Huaide's attitude." Zhen Xuan took out a chess piece from the chess basket and rubbed it, and said. "It's always the old man next to my grandmother. Where to go back, do you also want to see what your grandmother means? ”
"That's not necessary." Xia Yiqing shook his head, "But who will take over here in the future, I still have to ask my grandmother." Wait until tomorrow. ”
In fact, he didn't wait until the next day, when Zhen Xuan conceded defeat, there was a word from front that Fang Huaide wanted to see Xia Yiqing.
Zhen Xuan followed a piece to the flower hall in the front yard, and when he entered, he saw Fang Huaide beating his head, and his son and daughter-in-law knelt in the hall, with two iron cages on the side.
Xia Yiqing and Zhen Xuan sat down, and neither of them spoke.
Fang Huaide opened the lid of the cage, kowtowed, and said, "Second master, second grandmother, it was the old slave who didn't manage his son and daughter-in-law well, and made such a big mistake." Not to mention the theft, in order not to be exposed, the treasury was burned. This kind of wrong thing should be killed directly, and the second master and second grandmother should be punished. ”
Yun Zai nodded the cage, and Dayjin said with a calm face: "Longevity lock." ”
Fang Xianyu's back was cold, and he said tremblingly: "Where is Tianbao, the slave and maid are going to marry?" ”
Xia Yiqing waved his hand: "Tomorrow I will send a letter to my grandmother, I have found someone to take over Qinghua Hutong, Fang is in charge, you clean up and go back to Meizhou Qingya Zhuangzi." ”
Fang Xianyu didn't know about the Qingya Zhuangzi, but Fang Huaide knew it.
It is the private property of Mrs. Zheng, but the place is extremely remote, and there is no production, if you want to say a strength, that is, the scenery is not bad, it is a pension, and it is also exile.
Xia Yiqing stood up and walked out with her hands behind her back: "That side is also suitable for your daughter-in-law to recuperate." ”
Hearing this, Fang Huaide burst into tears, knelt down and turned around and kowtowed to Xia Yiqing: "Yes......"
Such a place is already open to the Internet for the sake of the master's decades of service in the Fang family, but this master-servant relationship is clean today.
Zhen Xuan followed Xia Yiqing back, she hurried a few steps to follow him, and asked in a low voice: "Tell the outside world that Steward Fang is old, and his grandmother is sympathetic to let him support his old age, does the second master think of it?" ”
Xia Yiqing paused, glanced at Zhen Xuan, and nodded.
The ugliness of the family is not publicized, and for the masters, it is definitely not good to say the wrong things done by the servants.
In addition to saying that the servants betray their grace and morality, it is more of a joke that the master does not know how to use people and has no way to govern the family.
Just like the story told by Fang Xianyu's family, the friend who manipulated the accounts was immoral, but the young son of the merchant also had to bear the name of incompetence, and he didn't find a problem for several years, and he became a loser in the eyes of his peers.
It's also like that year, Zhen Xuan occupied the industry in Shenzhou, and the Pei family knew what was going on, but they couldn't communicate with outsiders. In everyone's opinion, Zhen Xuan is justifiably taking care of the Pei family, even if there are rumors, they are just rumors. If the children and grandchildren are overbearing, the notoriety of the sisters competing for relatives will spread out and go to the ground, and the good reputation of the Pei family will come to an end.
Even if you suffer a loss, you can only swallow it.
After listening to what Fang Xianyu's family said, Zhen Xuan thought that it would be great if Fang Huaide could take the initiative to ask for sin, and send it away steadily, and it was also the Xia family's kindness to the old servant. (To be continued......)
