He Huan is well versed in the principle of striking while the iron is hot, if she detains the Zou family, sends someone to find He Baihai, and confronts the Wei family behind closed doors, she should be able to quickly cut through the mess and figure out what happened three years ago. It's a pity that she has more important things to do now, so she can only choose to send Zou away temporarily and make plans tomorrow.

Seeing that Zou's sedan chair was walking away, He Huan turned around and saw He Jing walking towards him. She smiled and said, "Brother Jing, do you have something to talk to your eldest sister?" ”

He Jing shook his head, just looking at He Huan blankly.

"What's wrong?" He Huan was inexplicable. She doesn't have a good impression of everyone in the He family, but she has a good impression of He Jing, and sometimes she even thinks that he is more sensible than her younger brother Lin Nuoyan.

Thinking about it, Lin Nuoyan grew up under the protection of his sister and mother, but He Jing grew up in the open and secret struggle of the Wei, Tao, and Cao families, and there is a half-sister next to him who wipes tears at every turn, and it is good that he is not crooked.

Thinking of this, He Huan had a good impression of He Jing, she touched his head and said, "The eldest sister said that we must work together to support this family and live happily every day, so if you have anything to say, just say it to the eldest sister." ”

He Jingzhen didn't have anything to say to He Huan, he just looked at Tao's bitter gourd face for a long time, and he was a little impatient in his heart, and he didn't want to listen to Cao's chatter, let alone face Wei's vulgar scolding, and instinctively wanted to see He Huan's smiling face.

Hearing He Huan's repeated questions, He Jing had nothing to say, and asked, "Eldest sister, what is a matter of great profit?" ”

"There is no such thing as a book of great profits." He Huan smiled and shook his head, "The eldest sister only knows that there is no hard work and no gain." If you plant a tree, you can only produce the fruit of one tree. It's the same with reading. Down-to-earth and serious study is the right thing to do. You can't think of taking shortcuts. Because there are no shortcuts. ”

"No, it's not." He Jing immediately blushed, and eagerly explained: "I know that it is shameful to get something for nothing, I asked the eldest sister this because I accidentally heard Aunt Zhang say something to Uncle Zhang, do you want to tell the eldest sister like this." ”

"I see." He Huan nodded, "I'll find an opportunity to ask Aunt Zhang's ......."

"No, I didn't mean to eavesdrop." He Jing lowered his head and muttered: "They were standing at the second gate talking, and I accidentally heard it." ”

He Huan suddenly understood. Squatted down and looked at He Jing at eye level, and said: "Brother Jing, the eldest sister knows that a gentleman has something to do and a gentleman doesn't do, but when we do things, we sometimes have to pay attention to flexibility, and we can't copy the truth in the book." Take the attitude of the eldest sister towards her aunt and third aunt just now, to use the truth in the book, the eldest sister is not filial and disrespectful to the elders. But the eldest sister didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. When we behave in the world, we must first be right-hearted. On this basis. It is enough to have a clear conscience in everything. ”

He Jing looked at He Huan in a daze. He ran out to find He Huan, just because Tao was in the house with a bitter face and counted He Huan's no, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Why do you look at the eldest sister like this?" He Huan looked sideways.

"Eldest sister, you look so good when you smile, why didn't you always smile before?"

"What do you mean, the eldest sister didn't look good before?"

"No, no." He Jing blushed again, cramped and at a loss.

He Huan chuckled, stood up and hugged his shoulders and walked forward, saying as he walked: "People live for a lifetime, it is impossible for everything to be successful, sometimes I feel that someone or something upsets me, just think about it from a different angle and look at it with a smile." If we really can't be happy, we can't afford to provoke us, can't we still hide? No matter what, you can't wronged yourself. Seeing that He Jing didn't seem to understand, she simply said bluntly: "The eldest sister is going to go out to do errands at this time, if you want to study quietly, go to the eldest sister's house and close the courtyard door." We are sisters and brothers, and there are not so many taboos. ”

He Jing hurriedly explained: "Eldest sister, I don't think my mother is bad, I also know that Aunt Cao has always loved me very much......

"I understand." He Huan patted He Jing on the shoulder, "Whether it is the eldest aunt or Aunt Cao, they all have their own positions and ideas, we can't force others, but we can choose what we want." Just like the eldest sister just said, it is enough for us to have a clear conscience. ”

He Jing nodded heavily. In the past, the family was always sad and miserable, he was used to it, and he didn't feel anything, but recently, he didn't like to live with a sad face more and more, and always felt that he should be like the eldest sister, always smiling, and saying whatever he wanted.

He raised his head and grinned at He Huan, nodded and said, "I'll move the books to the West Cross Courtyard." I think my mother would be upset when she heard that I wanted to concentrate on my studies alone, but she would still agree. ”

He Huan chuckled. He Jing smiled too deliberately, but he looked so sincere and cute, if it weren't for the fact that he was ten years old, she really wanted to bow her head and kiss him like she had hugged Lin Promise before.

Cao stood at the second door, looking at the harmonious picture of the sister and brother looking at each other and smiling, and felt a little jealous in his heart. She stepped forward and said sourly, "What are you talking about, so happy, and it makes me happy to say it." ”

"Aunt Cao." He Jing immediately restrained his smile and saluted solemnly.

Cao Shi suddenly felt a little tightness in her chest, but after thinking about it, she changed her smile again, and asked He Jing flatteringly: "What do you want to eat at night, my aunt will make it for you!" ”

"It's all right, Aunt Xie Lu." After He Jing said this, he smiled politely at Cao's family, and said that he was going back to study, and bowed and left again.

Cao Shi watched He Jing walk towards the West Chamber, feeling quite uncomfortable in his heart, and blurted out to He Huan: "In the end, it is a sister and brother." After that, he hurriedly changed into a flattering smile and explained: "I mean, the eldest lady and the second young master are sisters and brothers, and their blood is thicker than water, so the relationship is naturally very good." ”

Only then did He Huan notice that the Cao family not only changed into clean clothes, but even combed his hair extremely neatly. She asked, "Aunt Cao, are you in good health?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with it in the first place, where can I say it's good or not." Cao Shi smiled, and recounted what happened when He Huan had not yet returned home, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, although I haven't read any books, everyone is an aunt." I can still hold her down. Even if it's a fight. I'm younger and stronger than her! ”

He Huan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, thinking that Cao's heart was in the eyes of money, she was so good, probably just for the silver, plus she was really in a hurry to go out, so she didn't care, she just said that she had something urgent to do, please Cao Shi when she was away. Haosheng guards the gate and does not let people enter and exit at will, especially those in the third room.

While the two were talking, Uncle Zhang had already gone back to the car dealership to rent a carriage and go home. He Huan got into the car and told him to go to Yongji Pawnshop.

It turned out that on the way back to He's house from Shen's house, He Huan had already heard that Lu County ordered Huang Shopkeeper and others from Yongji Pawnshop to be brought to court for questioning, but he let them go back before noon.

Hearing this, He Huan felt strange in his heart. Since the people of the pawnshop were brought to court. Why didn't Lu Xianling find He's family? She wasn't sure if the "Xie Zhutou" who returned to Beijing with Feng Jiyang's body was Xie San, but she didn't think it yet. Xie San enthusiastically settled this matter for the He family.

When the car drove past the restaurant where Xie San had "invited" her upstairs to talk, she couldn't help but open the curtain and look towards the second floor, her mind was full of Shen Jinglun's sentence: "Do you know who he is?" ”

Seeing that the windows on the second floor were open, but there was no sign of Xie San or Chang'an, He Huan felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. Whether it is Lin Xiyan or He Huan, Xie San is the only benefactor who has worked hard to save her.

"I've already thanked you, what else is there to regret." He Huan muttered to himself, only when Xie San had already left Jizhou, he comforted himself: "If there is fate, I will have the opportunity to thank him." Besides, with his status, I'm afraid it's not uncommon for me to thank you. She sat up straight, quickly put down the matter, and concentrated on how to find out how Lu Xianling planned to close the case from the mouth of the shopkeeper Huang.

To He Huan's surprise, when the carriage arrived outside the door of Yongji Pawnshop, he saw that the door of the shop was open, but no guests entered or exited, and the sound of catching fast could be faintly heard. He Huan decided to leave immediately.

"Who's in the car?" Suddenly, a catcher yelled at the car.

Uncle Zhang in the front of the car was startled by the big knife in his hand, and stammered: "We are just passing by ......"

"I know you, you are a descendant of the He family!" Catch quickly turned his head and shouted inside the door: "Lin Zhutou, the people of the He family are sneaky outside. Then he shouted into the carriage and asked, "Who is in the car?" ”

"Miss, what now?" Bai Shao's face turned pale with fright.

"Don't get out of the car, if anything is wrong, go to your cousin-in-law for help immediately." He Huan calmly ordered, but he was afraid that Shen Jinglun would not be willing to help, so he added: "If you can't see your cousin-in-law, go to your aunt, understand?" ”

Seeing Bai Shao nodding, He Huan got out of the car and said to the catcher: "This big brother, I'm here to find the shopkeeper Huang, I entrusted him with a business earlier. I saw that you guys seemed to be handling a case just now, and I don't know if Lu Dao will disturb your big brothers, so ......" She smiled apologetically, looked towards the door, and saw Lin Zhutou holding the handle of the knife in one hand and striding towards her. He had a razar beard and blood-red eyes, and he looked like he hadn't slept for days and nights.

"Lin catches the head." He Huan stepped forward and saluted Lin Zhutou.

Lin Zhutou hurriedly returned the salute, looked at the He family's carriage again, and said in a rough voice: "You came just in time, but it saved me business, I originally planned to summon you." Before he could finish speaking, he turned and walked back.

He Huan hurriedly followed his footsteps and said respectfully: "I don't know what Lu Daolin wants to ask, the folk girl must tell the truth, and she will never dare to hide anything." ”

Lin Zhutou listened to her calmly, his tone did not show the slightest fluster, he glanced back at her, suddenly walked a few steps faster, put an account book on the table next to He Huan, and said in a deep voice: "Look at it, there is a difference in the amount." ”

He Huan didn't dare to ask in detail, picked up the account book and flipped a few pages, and saw the page "Rent", and the location was written in Stone Lane. She couldn't help but be startled when she saw the amount.

According to the records, the Yongji pawnshop leased the house for only ten days a year, but the rent they paid was equivalent to the market price, almost a whole year's rent. Looking at the signatory again, for seven and a half years, it is all the words "Feng Jiyang". During this period, there was no rent record for one year, and I think that the Yongji pawnshop did not rent it into the house that year.

He Huan didn't know when the Yongji pawnshop settled in Jizhou, but the name of the broker Feng appeared in Jizhou, which was indeed a matter of the past seven or eight years. It's just that she always thought that the rent that entered the house had only fallen into the hands of the third room in the last three years, and three years ago, who did the broker Feng give the rent to?

"What, what's wrong?" Lin Zhutou urged, his voice hoarse.

He Huan put down the account book, lowered his posture and pleaded: "Lin Zhutou, can you give me another half day?" ”

Lin Zhutou coughed heavily, slapped the big knife in his hand on the table with a "snap", and said unhappily: "Miss He, Xie Zhutou showed you the house deed, that was a few days ago, haven't you asked about this little thing so far?" ”

"Don't hide it from Lin Zhutou, I have asked my aunt and aunt them earlier, but no one knows that my grandfather has left that ...... to enter the house."

Lin Zhutou held the blade of the knife, and pointed the account book again and again with the handle of the knife, and with a "click", Bai Sensen's blade slipped out of the scabbard, and Senbai's reflection flashed over He Huan's eyes, almost blinding her.

At this moment, He Huan's heart involuntarily trembled. Lin Zhutou showed her the account book, what does this mean? It stands to reason that the people of the He family should be taken to court, and asked how much silver they received, and what is the relationship with the broker Feng?

"Miss He, a few hundred taels of silver a year, don't tell me, no one in the He family has ever seen silver." Lin Zhutou stared at He Huan with blazing eyes.

When He Huan heard this, he was even more puzzled in his heart. Lin Zhutou's words were more like hints than a question. She replied along with his words: "Lin Zhutou, you don't know about my family's situation. If I had earned a few hundred taels of silver a year, I wouldn't have to put my mother's dowry into the pawnshop one by one. She quietly raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Zhutou from the corner of her eye, only to see that his blood-red eyes were full of fatigue, and his frowning brows were full of sadness.

Lin Zhutou "clicked", put the blade back into the scabbard, shook his head and said, "This is just your one-sided words. Don't think that if Feng Jiyang is dead, everything will be dead without proof. ”

When He Huan heard this, his heart was slightly shocked. Is Lin Zhutou telling her that everything is dead and there is no proof? She was even more puzzled, and could only mourn at the moment: "Lin Zhutou, what the people said is true, and all the people and girls in the pawnshop have retained them." Because the folk girls knew that they would not be able to redeem their mother's dowry in this life, most of them were dead. ”

In the restaurant not far from Shen's house, Chang'an said to Xie San: "Third master, Lin Zhutou has not sent someone to invite Miss He, and Miss He went to Yongji Pawnshop by herself." Seeing that the master was noncommittal, he cautiously stated: "The little one went to pass the word to Lin Zhutou, although he responded in one mouth, but he seemed to be a little disapprove. Third master, the little one doesn't understand, why do you want to help the He family get out? Didn't you say before, look and see? (To be continued......)
