Chapter 59: The abacus fails
Seeing that Lao Feng was unmoved, although Jin Yanniang was naughty and naughty and fun, she was also a smart and clever child, and she had already inserted her waist to help her: "Mother asked us to come to take the nurse back, Steward Feng, are you not good ears, if you reach the age of deafness and blindness, I will tell my father to return to the field to support the elderly." ”
Zhang Erzhen glanced at Jin Yanniang gratefully, Jin Yanniang proudly raised her little chin Nunu mouth, Zhang Erzhen walked towards the courtyard of the villager, and said: "Steward Feng, you don't want to think about it, if it wasn't for our grandmother telling us to bring someone, how would we know that the nurse is here with you, don't you say?"
Lao Feng's yard was locked up with a nurse and two little girls, and when they were sent over, they were ordered to be raised casually, and Mrs. Hui had her own disposal. Steward Feng looked at Jin Yanniang suspiciously, and just as she was about to speak, Jin Yanniang was already impatient and said: "Hurry up and take us to see, you have to see people first, besides, those are the maids and daughters-in-law of Zhang's Mansion, why are you holding people." ”
Lao Feng quietly glanced at the person next to him, and then led the two little masters into the courtyard. The courtyard where Lao Feng lives is very large, not the ordinary courtyard of the Zhuang family and the small courtyard of the main house, but the side hall of blue bricks and red tiles on both sides, and the smaller main hall in the middle, and the side room that is difficult to see is more magnificent than the main hall. In the main hall, there are simply two pine straight quilt chairs, a reddish-brown square table in the middle, and a little girl carries a small teapot with a dark upturned mouth and pours hot tea. Jin Yanniang looked around and said, "Steward Feng has a good life, look at how much happier this day is than in the mansion." ”
Lao Feng didn't have a trace of panic and embarrassment, but said with a smile: "It's decent for the Jin Mansion to live well, don't bury the old slave with the third girl." The third girl and the cousin sat down for a while, and the slave went to bring someone. ”
"Aunt Yan, let's go and have a look, I've been in the carriage for a long time just now, and I'm still tired at this moment. Zhang Erzhen took Jin Yanniang's arm and looked at Steward Feng with a smile. Steward Feng's face changed slightly, and he wanted to struggle a little more under Jin Yanniang's blazing gaze, but Zhang Erzhen had already urged: "Steward Feng, hurry up, we are all ready." ”
Steward Feng reluctantly took a few masters and servants around until he reached a forest, and there was a courtyard in the forest that looked desolate and dilapidated. Steward Feng took out the key and opened the door, Zhang Erzhen had already stepped in, and saw the nurse and the two girls who were gagged and tied with ropes. The nurse saw Zhang Erzhen, struggling with "woo", and Mingyue Ruyue twisted her body and shed tears.
Zhang Erzhen didn't care about reprimanding Steward Feng, and quickly took out the rags in the mouths of the three people. The nurse said with concern: "Girl, why are you here......"
"Steward Feng, do you want to give me an explanation!" Zhang Erzhen stared at Steward Feng with a pair of red eyes, and her little hands clenched into fists, hoping to hit that light face. Steward Feng just bent down and replied, "The slave listens to Madame's orders." ”
When Jin Yanniang heard this, she was furious and said: "You are nonsense! My mother said that she took them to learn rules and etiquette in the Fangdui Courtyard, why were you locked up by you! Did you secretly tie them up, did you secretly transport them out, did you do evil things behind your wife's back?! Steward Feng, you are so bold!" Jin Yan trembled with anger, Zhang Erzhen had calmed down, and said with a calm face: "Hurry up and let them go, I want to take them back!"
Steward Feng lowered his head and remained silent, Zhang Erzhen repeated it again, and Steward Feng replied: "Don't embarrass the old slaves, girls, can you take them away, you will know in a while, the girls sit for a while, presumably the people who went to the mansion will come back soon." ”
"You threaten me?!" Zhang Erzhen glanced at Steward Feng, took out a delicate half-inch knife from his arms, and said with a smile: "Then try it!" Jin Yanniang thought that Zhang Erzhen was going to kill someone, and was surprised, watching Zhang Erzhen neatly cut the ropes on the nurse and the two girls before she breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Steward Feng and said: "The cousin girl is a distinguished guest, you dare to imprison her nurse, I think you are impatient!"
Zhang Erzhen looked at the crimson strangulation marks on the nurse's hand, and her heart was heavy, and the nurse looked at the girl's serious little face and comforted: "Don't worry, girl, the slave is fine." Mingyue and Ruyue cried and followed closely behind Zhang Erzhen, they thought they would die like this.
Zhang Erzhen held the knife and looked at Steward Feng: "I'm going to take them away now, what does Steward Feng think?"
Steward Feng lowered her head and didn't speak, Jin Yanniang was originally hot, and said directly: "It's just a minion, what he does, let's go!" Jin Yanniang, as the third girl in the Jin Mansion, has always been smooth, but now she can't call a slave in front of her niece, and her self-esteem has been greatly hit. If a housekeeper has to climb on his head, then it's worth it! Jin Yanniang's eyes were like torches, staring at Steward Feng vigorously, ready to go up and beat him as long as he moved or opened his mouth, to see how fat his courage was, did he dare to do anything to the girl in the house?
Steward Feng saw that a few people were about to go out, and at this time, the little guy who went to report the news in the Jin Mansion came back and shook his head at Steward Feng. Steward Feng stopped in a calm voice: "The cousin girl can't take them away, they are lowly people, even if they die, it won't matter, why should the cousin girl go against the mansion for a few lowly people." ”
"You are talking nonsense!" Jin Yanniang's angry little chest bulged one by one: "No matter how cheap it is, it is also a member of their Zhang family, what does it have to do with you as a housekeeper, Steward Feng's status is different from before, and now he can be the master of our Jin family?!"
Steward Feng said, "Don't dare", but the hand that stopped said "I dare", so what. Zhang Erzhen held the knife and shook it in front of Steward Feng's eyes, and sneered: "What a Steward Feng, no one in the official mansion dares to kill slaves and maids at will, I didn't expect your Steward Feng to be so powerful, why, we have to keep them here today, we can't take them away, right?"
Steward Feng took a step back and said, "Please don't embarrass the old slave, the third girl and the cousin girl are at their own convenience." ”
Zhang Erzhen knew that Steward Feng was listening to the Zhao family, and he was heartfelt and could express the world, but now he couldn't see the situation clearly, it was really stupid. This slave didn't appreciate it like this, Zhang Erzhen slashed on Steward Feng's arm with a hard heart, and under the surprised gaze of Steward Feng and Jin Yanniang, she took out three deed of sale from her arms, opened them one by one and slowly skimmed them in front of Steward Feng, and tore them apart in the eyes of everyone who were either frightened or disbelieving or surprised-the deed of sale of Nurse, Mingyue and Ruyue.
"Steward Feng, now they are good citizens, and they enjoy a more noble freedom than you, even if the government investigates it, I dare to say so. They are not slaves or servants, if you still want to detain them, can I go to the government office to beat the drum of grievances?" Zhang Erzhen said slowly, and raised the torn deed in the air, and strode out of the dilapidated courtyard under Steward Feng's dull gaze. Jin Yanniang glared at Steward Feng fiercely: "Go back and see how I clean you up!"
