Back at Yihong Courtyard, Baoyu was panning rouge. Seeing Xia Jingui coming back, he nodded and said, "Sister is back, why did you go for so long?"

Xia Jingui frowned when he saw that Baoyu was playing rouge, and he couldn't help but have a sneer in his heart.

It is said outside that this Baoyu was born with a jade, and he is the younger brother of the concubine, and the milk is a person with great creation.

But after getting married for a month or two, he just reads idle books, gets rouge gouache, and plays with flowers and plants, and he doesn't look like a wealthy son at all, and he is an ignorant child.

Can such a person be greatly cultivated?

God is blind!

However, Xia Jingui married Baoyu, not for Baoyu's great creation, but for his own future.

So he suppressed the sneer in his heart, his face was gentle, and while calling people to change his clothes, he said: "I was talking about a maid named Qingwen before the second master." A mother-in-law came in to ask for peace, saying that Qingwen got married in the countryside, and now she has given birth to a pair of children, and her life is very stable. ”

Baoyu smiled: "This is what I know, when she got married, I also asked my second sister-in-law to send a gift." Now she is living well. ”

He paused, suddenly turned to look at Xia Jingui, and said very solemnly: "Qingwen is a good girl, she left Rongguo Mansion innocently. ”

Xia Jingui listened, couldn't help but glance at Baoyu, and saw that after he said this, he was still concentrating on rouge, so he sighed in his heart: If you talk about being a person, Baoyu is a hundred times stronger than ordinary gentlemen, but if you talk about ability, he really doesn't know how to be motivated. So he walked over and said, "Why did the second master make rouge again? Didn't he do a lot before? Why do you still do it today?"

Baoyu immediately replied: "Everything I did before has been ......."

In fact, the rouge gouache he made before was entrusted to Sister Feng to sell it.

Because he knew that the treasures in his yard had all fallen to the maid's house, and he was reluctant to dispose of them, he had no choice but to think of some ways to make money.

But he is not a fool after all, he can see the situation in the family, and he also knows that his daughter-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

If she knows that she has private money, I'm afraid that she would rather be known to everyone who is noisy than let herself take it.

So he changed his words and said: "I let Ziying take it and give it away." So I have to do it again. I also made some brushes, and also made all kinds of floral ink, lo and behold, this is rose ink, this is osmanthus ink, this is orchid ink, and peach blossom ink, etc., with the corresponding signature paper, these things are very popular. By the way, sister, what fragrance of ink do you like, I made it for you. ”

Before Xia Jingui could speak, the attacker said on the side: "Second grandma, you take care of the second master, just do these things when you see the sky, I haven't read a few pages of the serious book, and when the master comes back to take the exam, how can he be good." ”

Baoyu suddenly lost interest, and said with a cold face: "I'm talking to your second grandmother, what are you interjecting?

Attacking people is wronged, she is not for the good of the second master.

Xia Jingui's mind turned around, and said: "Second master, what the attacker said is right, these things, just do them in your spare time, where can you do them all day long?

Baoyu waved his hand and said, "If these things are done well, they can also have many benefits." Besides, I'm a man, so I have to find a way to make your life stable in the future. ”

Xia Jingui was shocked and couldn't help but look at Baoyu.

She had been with Baoyu for a month or two, but she didn't expect Baoyu to say such a thing.

Although she is greedy for the title and family background of Rongguo Mansion, after all, she also wants to capture her husband's heart, and at this time she has a vague idea in her heart, but she is not sure, so it is difficult to say anything, so she said: "It's good that the second master has this heart." It's just that you can't be too tired in the end, and it's the same to take a break and do it again. As he spoke, he wiped Baoyu's face with a handkerchief: "Look, you're sweating." He shouted again: "Bao Chan, fetch water to wash the second master." ”

Baoyu smiled: "Sister doesn't have to be busy, it's just so sweaty, it's okay." ”

Xia Jingui smiled softly: "Why don't you get in the way, it's cold to dry it, it's going to catch a cold." As he was talking, Bao Chan fetched water and came in, and Xia Jingui personally served Baoyu to wash.

Baoyu smiled: "Where is the need for my sister to do it herself, let them do it." ”

Xia Jingui kept moving, and said with a smile in his mouth: "It's okay." Besides, you are a minister, and I should serve you. ”

The two kept talking and laughing, and there was no quarrel at all from a month ago, as if they were still in the honeymoon period.

The hearts of the attackers who watched from the side were sour: Baoyu he, he now has only one Jin Er Grandma in his eyes. He comforted himself again: They are just newly married, and it is normal to be intimate, and after a long time, Baoyu will get used to it, and he will remember the old love in the past, and then treat himself again.

It's just that before the attacker adjusted his emotions, Zhou Rui's family came to the door with a group of mothers-in-law: "Mrs. said, the big girls in Yihong Courtyard are old, and it's time to go out to match people." ”

When Zhou Rui's family brought someone to pull, Fang reacted, hurriedly broke free from his mother-in-law, knelt at the feet of Baoyu Xia Jingui, who hurried to hear the news, and cried: "I don't want to go out even if I die, I beg the second grandfather and the second grandmother to read the past feelings, so I can leave me." ”

Xia Jingui looked at Baoyu in embarrassment. Baoyu sighed and asked Zhou Rui's family, "Is that what Mrs. means?"

Zhou Ruijia replied respectfully: "Yes." The former son Li's mother came to the house to ask for peace, and talked about some of the past, and when the wife heard about it, she said that the second master is now married, and the second grandmother is taking care of it, so the maids in this yard don't have to be so much, so she ordered the old slaves to come and send them out to match people. ”

When Baoyu heard about it, he knew that it was the previous incident that attacked them, so he nodded and said, "They have served me for a while, so they should go out and go out well." Those mothers-in-law or something, don't want it. Mom went back and told my wife to pack up their things and let their family come and pick them up tomorrow. ”

When Zhou Rui's family heard this, they were also a little embarrassed. Xia Jingui hurriedly said: "Mom, go back to Mrs. first, don't be embarrassed, wait for me and the second master to go over and talk to Mrs. in person." ”

Zhou Rui's family saluted and withdrew first with his mother-in-law.

Xia Jingui then asked someone to take his clothes and face and serve himself and Baoyu to change clothes.

The attacker and the others knelt on the ground, their hearts were like ashes, and the attacker cried: "The second master is really so ruthless, he doesn't remember the old feelings at all?"

Baoyu glanced at her, walked out and passed by them, and said, "If I really don't miss the old relationship, I should be annoyed when Qingwen and Fangguan came out. It's those money, I don't care about it anymore, do I?" After speaking, he strode out with Xia Jingui.

The attacker's face turned white, and he fell to the ground, crying bitterly.

Xia Jingui was slightly stunned, glanced at Baoyu, but didn't say anything.

Qingwen's matter, she has inquired carefully, and now that she thinks about it, she can't get rid of the attacker.

Rongxi Hall.

Mrs. Wang was waiting for Baoyu and Xia Jingui. Seeing them coming together, he didn't wait for them to say goodbye, so he said: "I'm going to send those unruly people away, what kind of old feelings do you remember, and you have to keep them for this day." ”

Xia Jingui said with a smile: "Mrs. Rongyu, if it is in our little Xia family, we will resign, but how can Rongguo Mansion be compared with a small family, although the daughter-in-law has just entered the door, but also knows that our family has always been used to charity, these girls have also tried their best to serve the second master, the second master is thinking of the old love in his heart, and wants them to go out decently, this is also in line with the consistent style of our family, isn't it? Mrs. looked at the second master's face and allowed him." ”

Mrs. Wang looked at Baoyu, Baoyu didn't speak, knelt down and kowtowed directly: "Madam, they followed me, there is no merit and hard work, so they are sent out, it is inevitable that they will be trampled in the future, and I also ask Mrs. to reward her son with some decency, let them go out well, and let them have a master-servant friendship with me." ”

When Xia Jingui knelt down in Baoyu, he hurriedly knelt down.

Mrs. Wang was used to being compassionate, and when she saw her son and daughter-in-law like this, she sighed: "That's it, your affection is your benefit, and I'm not so unkind, according to you, it's just Gui girl, you have to let people jail them, and don't allow them to take the opportunity to die again." ”

Xia Jingui hurriedly agreed.

On the way back to Yihong Courtyard, Baoyu took Xia Jingui's hand and said, "Sister Lian has been wronged." ”

Xia Jingui sighed and said: "The second master is serious, since I am married to you, I naturally have to keep my duty and take you as the sky, after all, our husband and wife are always one, how can there be any grievances and not grievances?"

Baoyu nodded, but did not speak.

Seeing that the matter was irretrievable, the women of Yihong Courtyard couldn't help but hug their heads and cry, and cried: "I also know that I can't keep it, so the second grandfather and the second grandmother should leave Musk Yue." ”

Xia Jingui didn't want to agree, but thinking that after these maids were sent out, her reputation would inevitably be affected, and it would be good to leave Musk Yue, she would already be regarded as Baoyu's roommate, and when she was pregnant in the future, when his wife wanted to carry someone, just move her out, so that no one would block her in front of him. Besides, among these people, she was the only one left, and the rest of the people were inevitably unconvinced, and she was disgusted by her wife, and she would stay in this room in the future, and she would not be able to make any big waves.

And he will raise Bao Chan in the future, and he will also have a lesson from the past, so that Bao Chan will not dare to forget his duty.

Thinking about it this way, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

So Xia Jingui said to Baoyu: "Second master, if you don't listen to the attackers, just keep one." ”

Baoyu's heart was unbearable, and said to Xia Jingui: "You are in charge." ”

Xia Jingui nodded, and let Musk Yue stay, and the rest of the people quickly packed up their things and left quickly tomorrow morning.

Raiders, Qiu Wen, Biyue and others packed up their burdens miserably, sent people back to pass the word, and early the next morning, bid farewell to Baoyu and Xia Jingui, and went home.

......

The Hua family was shocked when they saw the return of the flowers.

Hua Zifang said anxiously: "Sister, what happened, why did you come back?"

Sister-in-law Hua looked puzzled and said tentatively: "Is my sister coming back to live for a while......?"

Tears rolled down the eyes, crying almost uncontrollably, and only said after a long time: "The second grandmother has entered the door, she is virtuous and thoughtful, and the wife rewards us and the big girls...... Come out, come out and match yourself. The attacker said this, almost breaking his heart: "Brother...... It turned out that we were wrong, we, we climbed high. ”

When Sister-in-law Hua heard this, her face suddenly changed, and she said disdainfully: "Oh, it turned out that she didn't fight with the lady of the main house, and she couldn't be an aunt, but she was kicked out." ”

Attacking people is ashamed.

Hua Zifang said angrily: "What are you talking about? My sister has just come back, and she has worked hard all the way, you are a sister-in-law who doesn't know how to be considerate, and what are you talking about here?

Sister-in-law Hua "cut", rolled her eyes widely, lifted the curtain heavily and went into the kitchen to prepare. - It's just that this time it can't be like when the previous attackers came back, it was hearty, full of chickens, ducks, and fish. But a few simple steamed porridge and a pot of bacon, plus the leftovers in the morning, are enough to cope. Now she has no money to supplement her family, and she has to spend her own food, so it would be good if she was willing to give her a bite to eat.

Outside, Hua Zifang comforted the attacker: "Sister, don't be sad, it's okay to come out, my brother will tell you about family affairs, let's be a fair-headed couple." ”

The assailant cried and nodded.

The attacker looks good, and it comes out of a big family, and many people like her color and style, so Hua Zifang released the news, and people around her came to ask for marriage. Hua Zifang still has a heart for her sister, and the ones she picks are all farms with a little surplus. It's just that the raiders are used to staying in the Rongguo Mansion, and they have long been accustomed to the rich life inside, and they are also used to seeing handsome men like Baoyu, where can they look down on the farmstead who doesn't pay attention to everything? Besides, those men are all either black or vulgar, and they are not even as good as the little guys in the mansion, and they are worthy of being married to themselves?

Once or twice is acceptable, but after many times, the sister-in-law will gossip: "Hey, sister, where do you think you are a fairy? I can't pick up my hands and can't lift my shoulders, so I hide in my room every day and sleep well, which girl is as lazy as you? We are a farmer with a small family, not the Rongguo Mansion with a high door and a rich family, and we have no money and can't afford to support idlers! Hey, you are still wronged? Sister-in-law, I said the wrong thing? Save it, girl, your sister-in-law and I are not those young masters who can't walk when they see a good color, you look like this to me, it's useless! Tut, tsk, if you want me to say, how can you still have this face of grievance? It's not a girl anymore, what are you still wronged about? Pick, pick, pick, what to pick? If you can have such a person, you can be content, if you delay it any longer, the color will be bad, and even such a person will be gone. Che, I really like wealth and nobility so much, why don't you want to stay in Nafu by all means? Don't come out even if you bump into it!

The attacker was ashamed of what his sister-in-law said. Hua Zifang hurriedly drank her woman, turned her head and comforted her: "Your sister-in-law speaks vulgarly, don't take it to heart sister." It's just that sister, your sister-in-law has a saying right, you are also the eldest is not small, some things should be settled, we here, there are only croppers, they are not very particular, sister, you see, if there is one who can almost see the eyes, it should be. ”

The attacker was sad for a while: in the past, when I went home, my brother and sister-in-law were all in a hurry to serve, how gentle and considerate, every time I wanted to go back to Nafu, I was reluctant, and I wanted to keep myself for a longer time; now, because I came out, I won't go back, I can't help them, they are not satisfied?

Because the attackers are always like this, when someone comes to say, listening to the other party's property is good, and the person is also good, the sister-in-law Hua said to Hua Zifang: "It's not that I dislike my sister, but you also see it, my sister's current appearance, and still remember the old love of her former young master." According to me, don't discuss it with her, and see that people are good, so you can make up your mind. This kind of thing is originally done like this, which girl can do her own family affairs?"

When Hua Zifang heard this, her heart moved a few times, and she said: "Listen to you, I'll go to find out the details of this family, if it's really a good one, then I should do it." ”

Sister-in-law Fang smiled with satisfaction: "That's it." In charge, I'm also doing this for my sister's good. ”

Hua Zifang nodded heavily and went out to inquire about the news.

By the time the attacker knew that he was going to get married, the sedan chair was halfway to Hua's house. The attacker was stunned, and the sister-in-law held the red wedding dress and said, "Sister, let's change it quickly, it's procrastinating, and it won't be the auspicious time for a while." ”

The attacker hurriedly said: "Who is going to get married? Who is marrying whom? Why haven't I heard about it before? Sister-in-law, you can't make your own decisions! Where is my brother? I want to see my brother!"

Sister-in-law Hua raised her eyebrows and said, "What brother do you see, he personally went to check this family business, and when he saw that the other party's characters and family property were good, he responded." I said sister, what are you still pretending to be in front of me? You are not satisfied, are you? Looking at me, I don't know what you are thinking? Don't tell me anything about the old feelings, I have been an aunt and sister-in-law for so many years, I don't know what kind of character you have? Your stupid brother believes you and thinks you're a good one. In front of me, you better save it. Didn't you look down on this one and that, didn't you just dislike people who weren't handsome enough and not rich enough? Now your brother is looking for you and is looking for you, and he has found you such a handsome person and a rich family, what else do you choose? Let me tell you, you have to marry if you are married today, and you have to marry if you don't marry. The things you brought back, your brother bought them for you as a dowry, sister-in-law and I didn't touch it at all, and your brother also pasted a lot of it, your brother is like this for you, think about it yourself. ”

After finishing speaking, he put down his clothes, shook his hands and was about to go out, but when he came to the door, he turned back and said, "Sister, I will call you sister today, but it may not be necessary in the future." Sister, sister-in-law, I will teach you to be obedient today: if you are a smart person, you will obediently change your clothes and get on the sedan chair, and live a good life from now on, we are still sister-in-law, and your brother and I will let him communicate with you. If you have to be left-minded, then you can do it yourself, sister-in-law, I won't wait!"

The attacker sat on the straw mat in the room, crying in a daze: I thought that my brother was impatient with him, so he had to find someone to send him out, but he was so attentive, my brother did a good job, if he was twisted like this, wouldn't it hurt my brother? Looking at my sister-in-law, this family can no longer accommodate me, and if I don't get married, I really won't have a place to go in the future. But if you get married like this, wouldn't you be ashamed of your friendship with Baoyu again?

After thinking about it for a long time, he was in a dilemma, and the attacker almost broke a soft intestine.

When the sister-in-law came in again, she saw that she hadn't changed her clothes yet, so she became impatient, and she stepped forward and rudely helped her change her clothes, while muttering: "I really think I'm a character, and I can't even do a small thing like changing clothes, it can be seen that I can't serve people, and I love to be lazy on weekdays, no wonder I will be kicked out ......." ”

The attacker was aggrieved and was forced to get on the sedan chair by his sister-in-law and carried it to the Jin family, the family that Hua Zifang had decided. The family worked very seriously, all according to the proper rules, and there were maids and servants to serve, so they worshiped heaven and earth, entered the cave room, and saw their husbands, Jin family, who were handsome in character, and they were a little willing to attack people's hearts.

After the three dynasties returned to the door, the attacker officially lived in the Jin family. It's just that the Jin family was not at home for three days, and occasionally they were at home, and they were sick, and they refused to let people serve, so they only lay down for a few days, and once they were better, they ran out again. Seeing this, the attacker inevitably had doubts in his heart, but for some reason, the Jin family lived a rich life, and her life in Jiafu was not much different, so he didn't ask and think about it like an ostrich. It wasn't until one day, when the Jin family came back with a group of sons of a family and pulled her out to accompany the wine, that she knew that her husband was a good man, who used to sing in the house of the rich and noble, and accumulated a lot of family funds, and now she has just formed a team to flatter and sing in various mansions.

The attacker was really frightened.

The kind of people who sing on the stage? That's the status of the lower three, and the role of prostitutes is inseparable, and I heard that many actors with better colors have to sleep with the benefactor...... , the attacker suddenly said: Yes, the occasional return of the Jin family is sick, it must be because he accompanied the benefactor to do that unsightly thing, so he will be unwell. There was a wave of disgust: how can I be the wife of such a person? No matter how rich I am.

The attacker wanted to run away, but because of the inattentive plan, he was secretly reported to the Jin family by the personal maid, so the Jin family taught her a lesson with the means in the troupe, and forced her to follow her to accompany her for a few drinks, and the attacker was tortured several times sick, crying and begging for mercy before letting her go. Since then, the attacker has been much more honest, but he didn't give up in the end, and then he easily found an opportunity to ask his mother's family for help, but he heard that his mother's family had committed an accident, and his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew were all sold to I don't know where. The attacker's heart was suddenly like ashes, his money was controlled, he had nowhere to go, no one to rely on, what could he do as a weak woman? A few times, the attacker was tortured and ruthless, and he also had the idea of dying, but he looked forward to reuniting with his brother's family in the coming day, and he didn't dare to die quietly, so he had no choice but to survive.

Not to mention the life of the attacker, only to say that after Xia Jingui attacked the person Qiu Wen and the others left, the rear was stable, and he began to march to the steward power of the entire Rongguo Mansion.

Although he was in charge of the house as soon as he entered the door, after all, there was a prince like Mrs. Wang on his head, which was inconvenient everywhere.

But although Mrs. Wang was born in the Wang family, she didn't know a single big word, and she only had yellow and white things in her eyes.

In Xia Jingui's eyes, she is nothing worse.

It stands to reason that if you want to bring down your mother-in-law, you need to at least plan carefully and take every step.

At the very least, you have to get the support of the old lady.

But Xia Jingui watched coldly, knowing that although the old lady didn't look down on Mrs. Wang, she also knew that she had to use the second room to govern the big house, so that she could enjoy her old age in peace.

What's more, with the lady in the palace, the old lady will not let herself replace Mrs. Wang.

Otherwise, the eldest sister-in-law Li Kun would not be so aggrieved.

However, Xia Jingui is also used to being at home, and he cultivates both inside and outside, which is not trivial.

Ruyi is just dealing with Mrs. Wang, who has no status but no more than ordinary brains, so she plans to take the sword sideways.

So she began to carefully calculate the family's accounts, so she easily found a lot of tricks and feet done by the former housekeeper Li Kun.

Li Kun is just a mud bodhisattva-like character, her husband died early, and she wants to educate her son to become a talent, and she is a little isolated from the entire Rongguo Mansion in her heart.

So Xia Jingui just frowned slightly, so he didn't take her seriously.

Even if he offended Li Kun thoroughly as soon as he came in, and he didn't even talk about his face, so what?

What is this Li Kun's ability to fight back?

With her Xia Jingui's incomparably rich dowry, and the most favored second grandmother in the house, whether it is her wrist or power, she far surpasses her, what are you afraid of a widow doing?

After Xia Jingui thought about it, he discussed it with Baoyu in the name of adding fuel and vinegar.

When Baoyu heard this, she was stunned: "Sister-in-law?"

Xia Jingui frowned and said, "Second master, what can I do now? Such a big gap, even if I fill in my dowry, it is not enough." ”

In fact, Xia Jingui took out one-tenth of the dowry, which was enough to fill this gap, but she was not a heartless eye like Sister Feng, how could she use her dowry to fill in the gaps in the public school?

In fact, anyone who is a bit like the eye of the heart, a daughter-in-law with a firm position, will not do this.

Only if Sister Feng wants to maintain this family, and someone who has the heart to do so!

Baoyu wanted to say that he was rich, but after looking at the amount calculated by Xia Jingui, Baoyu consciously shut up: 20,000 taels of silver, how much is the income he entrusts in Sister Feng's shop?

In desperation, Baoyu was going to go with Xia Jingui to find Mrs. Wang, Xia Jingui hurriedly stopped him, and only said that he would go and tell him about it, Baoyu is a gentleman, and there is no reason to take care of the affairs of the inner house.

Baoyu said worriedly: "If my wife blames my sister, how can it be good?"

Xia Jingui said with a smile: "These accounts are not in my hands, my wife is used to it, where will she blame me?" ”

When Baoyu heard this, she smiled embarrassedly.

After Baoyu went out to socialize, Xia Jingui sat quietly for a long time, and then personally took the account book and went to Daoxiang Village, saying that his wife checked the account book and knew that the eldest sister-in-law was deceived and ruthless by the subordinates, and some of the accounts were blurred, so she asked the eldest sister-in-law to quickly check herself and re-settle it clearly.

As soon as Li Kun heard this, he knew that what he had done had happened, and he secretly hated it in his heart, even if he knew that Xia Jingui was giving her a ladder, he still didn't want to see her: Mrs. will go to check the account books, and will know that there are loopholes, and it's not that you, the second grandmother, are you bad? What kind of good person is you pretending to be here now? It's not disgusting.

Sure enough, he was born in a merchant, and he was bent on getting into the eyes of money, and the housekeeper was so strict, sooner or later he would offend the entire Rongguo Mansion to death.

It's just that even if he is disgusted in his heart, Li Kun still said kindly on his face that his wife is tolerant, and he will immediately check himself, and he will definitely give his wife a satisfactory explanation at that time.

After waiting for three days, the account book was sent to Xia Jingui's hands, and sure enough, there were a lot of things that didn't exist in the first place, Xia Jingui calculated carefully, and there was a shortage of about 5,000 taels of silver, but Xia Jingui knew that this matter had reached the limit, and if he forced it, it would really be a complete tear in his face. That's it.

Even if she doesn't take Li Kun in her eyes anymore, she also knows that making trouble is very detrimental to her reputation.

She has a long way to go in order to gain a foothold in Rongguo Mansion, and on this road, a virtuous reputation is very important.

Then Xia Jingui rushed to Rongxi Hall, told many loopholes in Jiafu's accounts, pointed them out one by one, and said a lot of good things for Li Kun, saying that she was used to being virtuous and virtuous, and was fooled by her subordinates, and now she has checked the shortcomings of many minions and returned. It's just that she found that there are some things missing, which are connected to the account book of Yihong Courtyard, it was the group of maids who stole the things of Yihong Courtyard in the past, and after the house made up for it, they were not good enough to be popular, and when they saw that things were good, they stole them again. This is also a large amount of money, and Mrs. Wang is also invited to make decisions and draw up a charter.

Mrs. Wang smiled coldly, didn't say anything, and let Xia Jingui go back first.

Xia Jingui naturally knew that Mrs. Wang was going to use her means, but she refused to go back.

When I went back, I had nothing to do with the confiscation of my belongings.

So she continued: "The daughter-in-law has long heard that Mrs. has a way to govern the family, and she has always been envious, but now she has entered the Rongguo Mansion and followed the Buddha, and she wants to learn a trick and a half, and she also asks the wife to see that the daughter-in-law humbly asks for advice, and let the daughter-in-law observe and observe." ”

The words made Mrs. Wang's heart happy, and she nodded in a daze.

So Mrs. Wang called Zhou Rui's family and asked her to take someone to copy the homes of Qiuwen, Biyue and others, Xia Jingui had already made arrangements, and arranged for her two bridesmaids and three brides-in-law as early as possible, all of whom were strong and powerful, and went with Zhou Rui's family.

This road is mighty, Zhou Rui's family only brought seven or eight mothers-in-law, but Xia Jingui's people also have six, and their momentum is no worse than Zhou Rui's.

What Zhou Rui's family didn't know was that two or three of the mothers-in-law around her had already been secretly bought by Xia Jingui, in fact, this team was invisibly decided by Xia Jingui.

This search found many things in the house. The matter was reported to Mrs. Wang, so Mrs. Wang asked people to take the name of Jiafu and went to find Yin of Shuntian Mansion, saying that things were stolen from the house, and asked the officials to arrest Hua Zifang's family.

Hua Zifang shouted injustice, Zhou Rui took the gold and silver jewelry found out by their family, and spit on their faces: "Injustice? What face do you have to shout injustice? Do you have such good white jade jewelry, are you poor ghosts equipped with it? Do you know the price of this thing? I can't afford to sell it to your family! And that glass lamp, that lamp holder is clearly printed with the name of our Rongguo Mansion, what kind of character are you, and you dare to use such a thing? It is also worthy? The evidence of the crime is all here, and you dare to shout injustice to me here? I bah!"

Hua Zifang was dumb all of a sudden, he couldn't read, how could he know what words were on the glass lamp?

Sister-in-law Hua hurriedly shouted on the side: "My lord, my lord, my lord, Shengming, that was not stolen by us, it was really not stolen by us! The sister in charge of our family turned out to be the personal maid of the second master of Rongguo Mansion, and those things were given to her by the second master of the treasure." ”

Zhou Rui squinted his eyes and said: "Second Master Bao rewarded the attacker? You are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue when you say big things! This thing is that our wife is distressed that Second Master Bao is reading hard, so she specially asked our master to ask for it for Second Master Bao." Second Master Bao knows the rules best, even if he attacks people, he will not give away the things that our lord and wife rewarded him. Besides, didn't you say that the things that the second master rewarded your sister with were all made by you to buy them as dowries for your sister? Since the things that the second master rewarded to the attacker are gone, then these are not the things that the second master rewarded. Since it wasn't rewarded by the second master, and the thing is used by you, do you dare to say that you didn't steal it?"

Hua Zifang and Sister-in-law Hua didn't know what to do, and their son was crying in fright on the side, their brains were not enough, and they couldn't speak clearly, Zhou Rui was impatient to listen to them, and he beat them down, watching the officials take their hands and draw and sign, and the case was closed, so he went back to Mrs. Wang with his things.

Hua Zifang and Hua sister-in-law watched their son being dragged out and sold in the prison cell, and when their hearts were unbearable, they regretted their greed for a while, and hated attacking people for not doing things properly, and they knew how to steal things.

Those things that were searched from the old maid's house in Yihong Courtyard seemed to have entered Mrs. Wang's private treasury, but in fact, most of them entered her private treasury through Xia Jingui's means, and unknowingly became her dowry.

Mrs. Wang and Zhou Rui's family didn't know a single big word, and they were all thrown out a few miles by Xia Jingui in terms of housekeeping, finance, and accounting methods, but they didn't feel it at all, they only felt happy that they had thousands of taels of silver in their hands out of thin air, and they despised in their hearts that these maids were really poor, and they had only stolen so much for so many years.

They didn't know that Xia Jingui already had thirty or forty thousand taels more in his hands.

However, on the bright side, the silver that was sold was only a few hundred taels of silver in Xia Jingui's hands.

Xia Jingui sneered, and the contempt for Mrs. Wang in his heart deepened.

She was actually ready to be a Hedong lion in her heart, but she didn't know that his wife would be so unbeaten.

In this case, I don't have to deal with her, I just need to be tactful and gentle, and I can unconsciously let me lead me by the nose.

But even so, Xia Jingui will not stop here, when Baoyu came back, she said to Baoyu with a sad face: "...... I just listened to this, and the others were afraid of being discovered, so they didn't dare to listen to it more, but according to the speculations I heard, I am afraid that the maids who attacked people and autumn patterns would not be able to save it. Second Master...... You, you must not blame Mrs., Mrs. She, of course, she doesn't miss the old feelings, but in the end, it's all for your good, for the good ...... of our family. ”

Baoyu was stunned for a long time before saying to Baochai: "If there is a way, try to find them, so that they can be settled well." As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xia Jingui hurriedly hugged him and comforted him.

Since then, Baoyu has seen Mrs. Wang, although she is still respectful, but in the end there is a trace of estrangement.

When Xia Jingui was roaming the Rongguo Mansion and using his means to hide from the world, Lin Zhao commanded a team of 800 people and arrived at Songjiang Mansion.

Emperor Xiaode always wanted the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs to preside over the opening of Songjiang Port, but after a few years, the effect was very unsatisfactory.

Now Lin Ruhai has made several great achievements in the household department, and he is about to enter the cabinet, and Lin Daiyu, the lord of Langhuan, is going to marry Prince Heng again after the New Year.

Therefore, Lin Zhao, an official who is the "Governor of Jinyi Wei Zuo", but a high-ranking official who has "no power and no power", is not easy to stay in the capital.

"Zhongqin Bolin Zhao is still the governor of Jinyi Weizuo, and Songjiang Mansion has a superintendent to lead the army and the people in various matters and supervise the opening of the port. ”

Lin Zhao took enough men and horses, organized a fleet, went to Weishui, entered the Yellow River, went to the canal, and then went all the way south, all the way without getting off the boat, it only took more than ten days to arrive at Songjiang Mansion, and the local gentry and Songjiang Mansion officials and Jinling officials came to greet them.

Seeing the three-masted and five-masted ships in Lin Zhao's fleet, as well as the black guns on the ship, and the murderous elites who followed Lin Zhao off the ship, everyone's attitude was very respectful, just with these big ships and these murderous guards, he Lin Zhao could run rampant in the south of the Yangtze River.

Among the rich and noble people who greeted on the dock, many of them were Jinling nobles and people sent over, naturally from top to bottom in Jiangsu, some officials came in person, and some sent people, these people greeted on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also came to see the style.

Some time ago, Jinling Zhen's house was raided, and the Jinling official mansion was emptied, and today's officials are all newly appointed, so they naturally want to leave a good impression with this "son of heaven".

But there are still quite a few people who are very unhappy with Lin Zhao.

Everyone knows that Lin Zhao started in Yangzhou, where he slaughtered countless salt merchants, cleaned up countless giants, and relied on the emperor's favor and the power of his Lao Tzu, then Jinyiwei is the most important reason.

Now that his son has entered the cabinet, his sister is going to marry the prince, but he himself was suppressed by the emperor because he was too good and sent here, in fact, now Lin Zhao is nothing, and even the emperor is suspicious, but the false title of this loyal and diligent uncle and Jinyi Wei Zuo Du Du is just a fake title, how big can a Songjiang supervisor be, that is, the level of the prefect.

You Lin Zhao was in Yangzhou back then, and you killed people and raided your home, and you were pressed everywhere enough, and you scraped tens of millions of taels of silver in a few years, and now you are here, and you are powerless and powerless, and they all say that you Lin Zhao is rich in the world, and you should have some blood this time, otherwise let you see what it means to bully life.

But seeing these artillery, seeing these big ships, and seeing the elite Jinyi guards who were neatly draped and murderous, he Lin Zhao actually transported more than 100 cavalry by ship.

Everyone looked at each other, they all had nothing to say, no matter what situation Lin Zhao was in now, when this force was put out, no one dared to speak, at least don't think about things like getting off the horse, otherwise, I am afraid that the one who will be embarrassed is myself.

Lin Zhao stood on the dock and swept over the people who came to greet him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how can Ben Bo be virtuous, I am really ashamed to have you come to respond, thank you here!"

Lin Zhao first greeted with a light tone, and did not wait for everyone to return the salute, but looked around directly, and said with a smile:

"When Ben Bo was on the boat, he heard that Songjiang Mansion opened a port, manpower and material resources are in short supply, and the progress of many projects has been delayed for a long time, His Majesty has high hopes for Songjiang to open a port, so Ben Bo sent a word on this wharf, seven days later, Songjiang Mansion began to clear the acres of land, check the population, and some people have contributed to the force, and the various projects of the port must be carried out as soon as possible. Benber was looking forward to seeing who would be holding back. ”

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't dare to say anything against and refute, this Lin Zhao was really rampant, when he first arrived in Songjiang, he had to give everyone a dismount first.

Many people couldn't help but be shocked when they thought of Lin Zhao's rumors.
