Chapter Eighty-Eight: Playing the Game
When Zhang Yang followed the fat boy to the courtyard, he saw two maids in yellow kneeling in the main hall, and Li Xiutao was sitting at the top of the hall and kept scolding the two.
"You two dead girls, you want to burn your mother? This bird's nest is so hot, if I hadn't vomited quickly, I'm afraid my mouth would have foamed. You can't even do such a simple thing, what use do you want......"
"The slave knows ...... wrong" and "The slave must be careful in the future...... the two maids were terrified, and they kept asking for forgiveness.
"Hmph, is it enough to know the mistake? Fifty of each of you, and if I don't think he's hit hard enough, I'll double the punishment. Li Xiutao said viciously.
The two maids didn't know that they had become the target of Li's venting, but since Li ordered so, the two naturally didn't dare to disobey, and they began to cried and began to slap their mouths on their own.
"Madam, the villain has found the young master." The fat guy yelled like this, and then ran over with his fart.
"You rebel, you finally didn't let you do such a nonsense thing in this critical period. If you go to that Baihualou, if you are found by someone with a heart, it will really ruin my big deal! Li Xiutao said with a raised eyebrow.
Zhang Yang was worried that he would say too much and make mistakes, so he pretended to be scared, lowered his head and did not speak.
"Xiaodong, you go out first, you find the young master for merit, go to the account room to get five taels of silver!" You two went to the door to slap their mouths, and after the beating, they guarded the door, and no one was allowed to come in, and the young master and I had something to say. Li Xiutao commanded.
When Li spoke, Zhang Yang secretly looked at the woman who was known as the chief housekeeper of the Liu Mansion.
I saw that she was about thirty years old, wearing a moon-white robe, and she looked quite beautiful. Maybe because of the good maintenance in the ordinary world, the skin is very fair, but it has the flavor of a young woman.
"Qin'er, my mother is kind enough to you, I know all these things about you making nonsense and messing with the maids. But at this critical time, you can't bear it? Do you have to go out and do all that nonsense? Today, you almost died of anger as a mother, do you know that because of your reckless behavior, you almost ruined your mother's big thing? After the other three left the hall one after another and closed the door, Li Xiutao said with a frown.
Zhang Yang wanted to point to her acupoint and tease her before talking, but after hearing this, he stopped acting.
"Big deal? What's the big deal? Zhang Yang asked pretending to be surprised.
"Hmph, it's not for the sake of the rest of your life, you think I'm doing it for myself? As for what kind of big things, you kid has always been unscrupulous, so I won't tell you for the time being, lest it be bad for you to spread it. Li Xiutao said earnestly.
"Mother...... Tell the kid, I promise I won't tell you. After Zhang Yang's eyes rolled, he asked.
"Huh, strange! Did you change your surname, Pingyue is not only interested in spending time and drinking, and has never liked to participate in such a brain-based thing? Now it's like a different person. Li Xiutao looked at him with suspicion.
"Mother, you have always worked hard for me, and it has been extremely hard. If you can, the child doesn't want to share it for you. Tell me what is so important. Zhang Yang pulled Li Xiutao and began to sell cuteness.
"You kid, nothing is good, it's just sweet-mouthed! Well, I can tell you about this plan, and it's in your own interest anyway. Unless you're a fool, if you tell us about it, we'll be really finished. Li Xiutao poked Zhang Yang's forehead with her index finger and said with a sigh.
She looked around cautiously, and then said in a low voice: "Wei Niang has been selling some of the hidden properties of the Hengshan faction in recent days, as long as these properties are sold, our mother and son will not be able to spend them in the next life." This is also to blame your dead ghost father, if he hadn't passed on the position of head to the surnamed Zhang after his death, my mother wouldn't have to do this. β
"What is incognito?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise.
"Hmph, do you think that Niang Ping is a vegetarian in charge of the inner courtyard, and your dead ghost father only knows how to blow the flute and play the piano, where will he look at the accounts of the Liu Mansion. Therefore, in the past ten years, Niang has secretly transferred some of the property in the house, except for a few stewards, no one knows the inside story. β
"Of course, such a large amount of property must be sold to a stable and powerful person, there are not many such people in Hengshan City, guess who the person found for Wei Niang?" Li Xiutao smiled proudly, then turned her head and asked Zhang Yangdao.
"I don't know!" Zhang Yang shook his head honestly.
"This person is the most powerful person in Hengshan City except for your dead father, you should be able to guess it now, right?" Li Xiutao looked at him with a test look.
"Could it be Lord Chengzhang of Hengshan County?" Zhang Yang thought about it for a while and blurted out.
However, after he exited, he regretted it, how could Liu Qin, that stupid pig, be so smart.
Who knows that Li Xiutao didn't doubt Zhang Yang's meaning at all, then again, what mother would think that her child was stupid or ugly?
"The kid is really thorough, it's indeed Lord Zhang, but this guy is also dark enough, and he knows that we are going to sell our property, so he keeps the price extremely low, only about three layers of the market price. If it weren't for the fact that Nami Weiyi kept urging me to ask for the details of the accounts in the house, I wouldn't have been in a hurry to sell this property. However, although it is only a three-layer market price, it is also hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, even if we leave Liu's Mansion, it will be enough for us to be rich and prosperous for a lifetime. β
"Mother, you are so smart...... Zhang Yang said with a sigh.
"Hmph, this is not just a test for you as a mother. If there is a chance in the future, Wei Niang will definitely get rid of the thorn in Zhang Yang's side for you, and let you become the head of the Hengshan faction! Li Xiutao smiled proudly.
"Do you want to get rid of Zhang Yang? His martial arts are very powerful. Zhang Yang didn't expect the other party to still think about himself.
"You unproductive boy, have you forgotten the humiliation you had done a few days ago? The so-called gentleman is not too late to take revenge for ten years, as long as we endure the humiliation, there will always be a chance to get rid of this person. What about martial arts, is it better than arsenic and other poisons? Let's not fight with him, just poison him secretly, what's so difficult to get rid of him? Li Xiutao glanced at her son in front of her contemptuously, and said like this.
"Really? Mother, since the child already knows about this, let's play a game! Zhang Yang suddenly showed a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Qin'er, you, what are you doing with my acupoints? What game are you going to play? Li Xiutao asked in surprise.
"The child didn't go to Chengbaihualou today, and he couldn't play happily, so he could only ask his mother to play this game with you, you shouldn't mind......"
"Qin'er, why are you taking off my clothes? Are you crazy? I'm your mother......" Li Xiutao exclaimed.
Who knew that as soon as she was halfway through her words, her voice stopped abruptly, and she could only make a tone like grace, obviously being dumbfounded.
Outside the main hall at this time, Xiaoqing and Xiaohong, two unlucky maids, stood on both sides of the door with bruised faces after passing by the palms just now.
"Xiaohong, did you hear the sound from the house, it seems that Mrs. is calling, why don't we go in and have a look." Xiaoqing turned her head and whispered.
"Hmph, you fool, haven't you been beaten enough just now? Madame had already ordered us to wait here, and we were not allowed to enter without her orders. If you still dare to go in, according to your lady's temper, you are not afraid of being beaten again? Xiaohong reminded with a frown.
At this time, the sound of grace in the room became louder, and it continued to appear, and the two of them were very inexplicable.
"Xiaohong, this voice is so strange, could it be that the lady and the young master are in danger inside, should we go in and take a look." Otherwise, if something really happens to them, we won't have a good time. Xiaoqing said worriedly.
"You idiot, why go in if they're safe...... Look at me! β
After saying this, Xiaohong dipped her index finger in her mouth, poked a small hole in the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window lattice, and then leaned down to look into the room.
Who knew that Xiaohong only glanced at the hole, and turned around like seeing a ghost, and the little pink face even turned red and transparent all of a sudden, as if dyed with a layer of red glow.
"Xiaohong, what do you see? Why do you look scared? Hey, why is your face so red? Xiaoqing asked in surprise.
Immediately, she followed Xiaohong's example, dipped her fingers in her mouth, drilled a small hole in the window lattice, and looked inside.
Like Xiaohong, she only glanced at it, then turned around with a red face, and said in surprise: "Young master, he, hasn't he been weaned yet?" (To be continued.) )
