Feng Yi shook her head sadly, and muttered: "How can this be the case, as if our master should do something for the Yang family, why doesn't she understand some things, it's not just that we can say it, oh my God, I almost lost Wen Jin..."

Meng Tianchu hurriedly stopped her and said, "Fengyi, what does it have to do with you?" Besides, if they really want to do this kind of thing, we can't prevent it, what do you say? Besides, you have already called people to pay attention, and when you come back, the child has already been taken away by the wet nurse, so don't blame yourself, there is nothing to do with you. ”

Zuo Jiayin also took Xia Fengyi's hand and said, "Sister Fengyi, what does it have to do with you?" You have to take care of such a big family by yourself, and you have to take care of the diet and daily life of each of us, which is already very hard, what the master said is not wrong, why should you blame yourself? ”

At this time, the child in Feiyan's swaddling clothes suddenly woke up and writhed a few times, but before Feiyan could react, the child had already started crying.

The nurse hurriedly got up to hug her, Zuo Jiayin pushed the nurse away, and said angrily: "Wanniang, what are you going to do?" From today on, our Meng family doesn't want you to be the baby's wet nurse, you let me go. ”

The nurse was anxious and said: "Third lady, even if you don't want me right away, I won't say anything, I know what I did wrong, Jin'er will cry when she is hungry at first, please let me feed the child, I beg you." ”

Zuo Jiayin looked back and saw that the child was already crying with red face, sweat crying, and this cry stabbed the mother's heart like a knife one by one.

Gently walked up to Zuo Jiayin and said, "Jiayin." Let Jin'er feed first. Good no good? Children can't cry like that, you know? ”

Zuo Jiayin had no idea for a while, and when she saw that Zuo Jiayin didn't speak, she hugged the child to the wet nurse, who quickly took the child, walked to the gazebo with her back to everyone and lifted her clothes to feed the child, and the child stopped crying immediately.

Meng Tianchu: "Feiyan." You send Jiayin back to rest first, she's been standing for a long time. ”

The maid beside Zuo Jiayin stepped forward and said, "I'll send the third lady back to the room to rest." After speaking, he carefully helped Zuo Jiayin and said softly: "Third lady." Let's go back and rest. ”

Zuo Jiayin looked at Meng Tianchu with tears in his eyes. Meng Tianchu said: "Jiayin, don't think so much, didn't the child come back safely?" You go back and lie down first. We've taken care of the matter, we'll tell you the results, and let's go back. ”

After the maid helped Zuo Jiayin to leave, Meng Tianchu instructed the two maids to stand beside the nurse and watch, and the others entered the hall.

After sitting down. Meng Tianchu left Li Linjing, Zhu Hao, and Chai Meng behind, and retreated the other underground and the maid.

Meng Tianchu: "Gentle." Tell us what's going on? ”

Take a sip of tea gently, and then said: "After you and Sister Fengyi left early in the morning, I went to the courtyard of Jiayindi, I wanted to talk to her, but I didn't expect that she hadn't woken up when I went, so I was about to leave, and suddenly I saw that the nurse had just finished feeding Jin'er and came out of the room, so I asked casually, "What about the young master?" She said she fell asleep, and then seemed to be in a hurry to go out, I didn't think much about it at the time, and then I was going to go out to buy some embroidery thread, just walked to the alley, and saw the nurse and Yang muttering something under a big tree, I was about to go up to say hello, and someone pulled me behind me, pulling me into the alley, I looked back, but it was Zhu Hao. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Why did Zhu Hao get out again?" ”

Zhu Hao: "I went to the hospital yesterday to see my hands, and when I came out after reading it, I saw the nurse and the Yang family sitting on a tea stall in a market, they didn't see me, they were two women, and I didn't want to come forward to say hello, so I walked past them, and suddenly heard the Yang family say that the young master of the Meng family is their lifeblood, if they steal it, they will listen to her in the future, although the voice is very small, but I heard the word Meng family and left a heart, and then found a table with his back to them, and sat down next to them, Only then did I know their conspiracy, in order not to startle the snake, so I had been secretly following the nurse early this morning, and when I saw the second lady coming, I was worried that they would find out, so I pulled the second lady into the alley. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Fortunately, Zhu Hao heard it, if he didn't hear it, I really can't imagine what happened." ”

Feiyan: "No wonder my eyelids started beating yesterday, and my heart was always panicking. ”

Xia Fengyi: "I chose left and right, but I still found someone who can't rest assured, this nurse must not stay, otherwise there will be endless troubles, I am really blind." ”

Meng Tianchu saw that Xia Fengyi was blaming himself again, so he comforted: "Fengyi, look at you again, the good and bad of people are not written on their faces, who can tell the good and bad?" ”

Gentleness: "Yes, Sister Fengyi, you can't blame yourself." What we should think about now is to sue the Yang family and the nurse to the yamen, accuse them of abducting the child, lock them up and rest assured, and then quickly find a Xindi nurse for the child. ”

Xia Fengyi hurriedly nodded and said: "What I said gently is that I have to sue them, it's terrible, such a woman is really vicious." ”

Meng Tianchu stood up and wandered back and forth in the hall a few times, at this time Xu Wei walked to the door, and saw that everyone was sitting in the hall, everyone's expressions were very serious, because he was resting in the room before, so he didn't know what was going on, seeing Meng Tianchu's anxious appearance, he said, "Is something wrong?" "Then look at the subordinates and the maids who have retreated, they should be discussing something important.

"Can I come in?"

Meng Tianchu hurriedly beckoned Xu Wei to enter the door and speak.

After Xu Wei sat down, Meng Tianchu briefly told him about the matter, Xu Wei was also very surprised when he heard it, and said: "There is such a vicious woman, I think she should be locked up with her father-in-law, so as not to make people feel at ease." ”

Everyone nodded, Meng Tianchu said: "This is not the most important thing, this incident reminds me of the last time the Yin family happened, why has our family always encountered such a thing recently, either the adults were tied up or the children were cheated away." It seems that my master can't.

There are many local incidents, which is too unreassuring. ”

Xu Wei: "What Yin family?" Did the people of that house also tie up the people of the family? ”

Meng Tianchu: "Brother Xu, I can't tell you clearly for a while, I just think that a master is nothing, but if it affects the safety of my family, it's not good, let me think about it..."

Everyone watched as Meng Tianchu continued to walk back and forth in the hall. No one spoke, and after a while, Meng Tianchu stopped and said, "I'm not going to do this master." I see who still holds chicken feathers as arrows. I can't help but be embarrassed by Meng Tianchu. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect Meng Tianchu to suddenly make such a decision, and they all looked at him in surprise.

Xu Wei was very happy. said: "Just move your family to the capital, so that our brothers are closer, and it is much more convenient to drink, and besides, with the wisdom and wisdom of the virtuous brother, it is not better to do any errand than to be a little master in Renhe County."

Meng Tianchu: "It's decided, if it's not right, it's not appropriate." I immediately handed over my resignation to the eldest master, and I will resign this master first. ”

Wen Rou looked at Meng Tianchu with some concern. Said: "Tianchu, have you thought about it?" ”

Meng Tianchu nodded firmly, and said, "I think about it, I will be a grass farmer in the future, and I will see who will make things happen to me." ”

Xia Fengyi: "What about the Yin family and He Ding?" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled and said, "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government, so yes!" ”

Everyone saw that Meng Tianchu didn't seem to be joking, anyway, he had decided, in fact, there was nothing bad, and the annual salary of being a master was not as much as the emperor's annual allocation of land and silver to Zuo Jiayin, so if you don't do it, you won't do it, even if it's a small business, it's better than being kidnapped and held hostage at every turn.

At this time, the maid hugged the child, Xia Fengyi took the child and carefully held it in her arms, probably because the child had fallen asleep before eating, and there was milk overflowing from the corners of her mouth, Xia Fengyi gently wiped the milk with a champa, and the child smashed her small mouth, revealing a smile.

Xia Fengyi said to the maid: "What about the wet nurse? ”

Maid: "If you go back to the eldest lady, you are still waiting outside the door." ”

Feiyan: "Let's go directly to the yamen cell." ”

The maid looked at Meng Tianchu, and Meng Tianchu said, "Feiyan said yes, so be it." ”

The maid went out, and Xu Wei said, "Do you really want to punish the crime?" ”

Xia Fengyi: "This matter must not be soft-hearted, even if Tianchu wants to let it go, I have to sue, no matter how the yamen finally punish them, I can't let these women attack an innocent child because we Tianchu can't meet their requirements, at this time, the blood of our Meng family is the flesh and blood of the Meng family, I really can't imagine if something really happens, how should I face Tianchu and Jiayin, they almost paid for Jin'er, sue, I must not let them go, let them go, It is irresponsible to Tianchu and Jiayin. ”

Nodding gently, she said, "Sister Fengyi is right, this time we can't be merciful no matter what." ”

Xu Wei listened: "Okay, what the eldest lady said also makes sense, so it's okay." By the way, Tianchu, since you have decided to resign from this master's matter, then you might as well really consider coming to the capital, I have always said that I want to give you, the third lady and the child a gift, and now if you really decide to go to the capital with your brother, I will buy a house in the capital, which can be regarded as a small gift to your whole family. ”

Meng Tianchu: "Brother Xu's courtesy is too heavy, besides, I just think so, even if I really don't want to be the master of Renhe County Yamen, I may not really decide to go to the capital to live, besides, I have received Brother Xu's wishes." If that is the day, I decide to go, and it's not too late. ”

At this time, Lao He Tou walked to the door and said, "Master, I have already asked someone to take the nurse away, do you want me to go and say a word to Wang Zhutou?" ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Chai Meng and said, "Don't go, let Chai Meng go." In addition, Chai Meng will give the eldest master a meaning first, and I will hand over the resignation to the eldest master in person tomorrow. ”

Chai Meng took the order and left.

Xia Fengyi looked at the sleeping child in her arms and said, "It's time to find a wet nurse for Jin'er again, this is the top priority, we have to do it quickly." ”

Xu Wei: "Even if you look for it separately now, you may not be able to find it all at once, and the child will have to ask for milk from his mother as soon as he wakes up." ”

Xia Fengyi was anxious when she heard this, Meng Tianchu said: "Just post a notice at the gate of the city, there are many people coming and going, we will write down the requirements and standards, people will see it, if it is like, it will naturally come, we will choose the one we like, can't we?" ”

Xu Wei said with a smile: "Tianchu still has a way, I think it can." ”

Ten days later.

On a whim, Meng Tianchu resigned from the master's errand, Cai Zhao was naturally unwilling, and he was a salary increase and a hard time to retain, but Meng Tianchu had already made up his mind, and Cai Zhao had to reluctantly approve his resignation, saying that as long as Meng Tianchu wanted to come back, the position of the master of Renhe County would be kept for him at any time.

Besides, the Yin family immediately called Rui Niang to come when they heard the news, ostensibly to see Zuo Jiayin and the child, but in fact, they just wanted to find out the truth, but they really saw that Meng Tianchu had resigned from the position of master, except for regret, he didn't say anything, and gave some good supplements as gifts for the child and Jiayin, and left lonely.

He Ding's case was also officially transferred to the prefect's yamen, as Meng Tianchu expected, Cai Zhao's proposed hanging was approved by Ke Gan, this case went to the Criminal Department, I really don't know what the result was, Meng Tianchu once went to the cell to see He Ding, and his hair had completely turned white overnight, plus he was sick, he looked a lot old and haggard, and He Ding was also ashamed of the stupid things that Yang did in a hurry, and he didn't say half a word of intercession for his wife at all, but asked Meng Tianchu to punish them severely, When Meng Tianchu told He Ding that he was no longer a master, He Ding also felt sorry for Meng Tianchu.
