Chapter 26: Two hundred taels
Wang Xiao still looked innocent.
But he was also a little nervous.
If people know that they are not the same Wang Xiao as before, who knows if they will be killed as impersonations, or caught as ghosts?
Moreover, if it is exposed by the Cui family at this time, then the matter will become that he deceived her by two hundred taels.
In the eyes of everyone, he spoke: "Mother don't cry, eat preserved fruits, don't cry." β
The preserved fruit was wrapped in Ying'er and put in Wang Xiao's pocket, so that he could have snacks to eat in Taoranju. At this time, Wang Xiao took out a piece and held it in front of Cui's.
What a kind demented child he isβhe said to himself.
"You're still pretending!" Cui Shi was furious, and suddenly shouted: "What about your two hundred taels of silver?" If you're really demented, the two hundred taels must still be there. But you've spent it clean, haven't you? Don't think I don't know, you spent it all in one day yesterday! β
Wang Xiao was stunned.
Not only Wang Xiao, but everyone was stunned for a moment.
Cui's statement is very nonsense and difficult to prove, but she can actually think of such a way to prove it.
yes, how can a demented child spend money?
Is it possible that this is true today?
Even Wang Kang was a little impressed by Cui's eyes, he scolded Cui's several 'stupid women' today, but he didn't expect this woman to be so sharp.
Cui's skill is shocking, in fact, it is because the Wang family has a big business, and no one really takes two hundred taels of silver seriously. But, only she is different-
"I went to inquire early this morning, and you spent the two hundred taels of silver!" Cui Shi shouted loudly, "Mama Ji, what about you? β
Then, Mama Ji rushed in from outside the hall.
"Master, you heard the old slave say that the eldest lady was also deceived by the third young master." Mama Ji cried and shouted: "Yesterday, the third young master deceived the eldest lady of two hundred taels, and the old slave always felt that something was wrong, so he went to the third young master's courtyard this morning to get the silver back......"
"Flutter."
Another chuckle.
Although the laughter was soft, it seemed to say: "Hahahaha, I still want to go back with the money I gave out, and I still want to say it in a grand manner, hahahaha......"
Many in the hall couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths
Then, I only heard Aunt Shen whisper: "The concubine is rude, the concubine is actually suddenly thinking of another joke." β
"Go on." Wang Kang said lightly.
Mama Ji glanced at Aunt Shen sneeringly, and then said, "When the old slave arrived at the third young master's courtyard, the third young master had already gone to the eldest young master. But the girl in the house was rummaging through the boxes and cabinets looking for something. The old slave could say her exact wordsβ'Strange, yesterday the young master came back with a bag of silver, and I saw it before he went to bed.' How do you wake up and disappear? When he went out this morning, it was clear that I gave him the clothes he was wearing, and he must have gone out without any money. Then, the girl with the knife said, 'Let's look for it again, it can't be that the young master got up in the middle of the night and spent it.......'
When Mama Ji said these words, she felt a very strange feeling, and everyone was stunned again, and there was a pimple on her body.
Wang Xiao was angry and laughed in his heart, and secretly scolded this woman for eavesdropping on her corner.
"Come to think of it, what's going on?" Cui Shi shouted: "When you fall asleep at night, you wake up in the morning and disappear, isn't this taking advantage of the night to go out and fool around?!" β
Everyone looked at Wang Xiao again, and their eyes were very different.
Wang Qin's fifth son, Wang Jue, muttered: "It's just a trivial matter of two hundred taels of silver, how can it be worth this?" β
But another young man stood up and snorted coldly: "This is not a matter of two hundred taels of silver, he is about to become a princess, at this time, mixing in the Qinglou outside and raising the outer room, this is a big deal to offend the whole family!" β
It was Wang Cong's second son Wang Cong who spoke, although he often mixed in the green building and the outer room outside, but he was quite righteous and righteous at this time.
Wang Xiao looked at it, he didn't recognize Wang Cong, he only knew that this was one of Wang Qin's sons.
At this time, he could feel the ill-will in Wang Cong's words, and Wang Xiao suddenly thought that the "Young Master of Xifu" mentioned by Ying'er might be this person.
Over there, Tao stood up and said: "Father, mother, the child interjects a word, even if the two hundred taels are really spent, it won't prove anything." The third brother has always been the most honest and well-behaved. β
When Dow said this, everyone was a little confused.
Wang Xiao in front of him was indeed a dumb and stupid look, Cui's words sounded like that, but when he thought about it, it was a little unbelievable.
Is it true that someone pretends to be demented just to avoid going to school?
Aunt Shen smiled and said, "That is to say, two days ago, the concubine saw this child kicking stones in no one's place, and he has always been this ......."
She is not like Cui's, who can say the word 'dementia', and after thinking about it here, she continued: "Xiao'er has always been this well-behaved, hahahaha." β
She smiled, and the atmosphere became a little lighter.
Cui's portrayal of Wang as a prodigal son sounds very fresh at first glance. But when everyone saw Wang Playing's appearance, and then thought of Cui's usual behavior, they still tended to disbelieve it in their hearts.
I really dare to make up anything.
At this time, Wang Kang's relatives came over with the two porters.
Cui Shi hurriedly asked the two, "You two, repeat what you said to me in the morning." β
"Yes, because the eldest lady asked, the younger one said. In the past few days, the third young master has been going out every day, and the first two times the girl still came back crying. The night before yesterday, the third young master came back limping back with some fragrance on his body...... Yesterday he also bought a cart of gifts to take home, and gave each of us a beautiful hat. Because the third young master mentioned it the day before yesterday, don't talk about him going out, and the little one will understand that he is bribing the little one. But the small one is the gatehouse, and the duty of the gatekeeper is to report what he sees to the master's family, therefore, the small one will say whatever he sees, and there is no half a false sentence, the little one has been in the Wang family for more than 20 years, and he has never ......"
"Got it." Wang Kang said: "Wang Seventeen, come on, what Wang Eighteen said is true?" β
"It's all true, sir, you know us, the two of us have never been ......"
Wang Kang said lightly: "I know, go to the tent to receive the reward." β
"Yes." The pockmarked face and rosacea receded.
Wang Xiao looked at these two people, and was angry in his heart - it turned out that these two people were called 'Wang Seventeen' and 'Wang Eighteen', and one day, they would beat them up!
At this point, the lie on Wang Xiao's body was about to be revealed, and the cousins and sisters-in-law in Xifu held their breath and waited and waited.
Wang Kang smiled at Wang and said, "Is what your mother said true?" β
Wang smiled: "Mother doesn't cry, she really doesn't cry." β
He still had a stupid expression.
Cui Shi was furious and said, "You dare to be hard-mouthed!" β
She was anxious to prove that Wang Xiao was not demented, so she turned around and said to Wang Bao: "Bao'er, come on, do you say that your third brother is demented?" β
