Chapter 5: Jumping the pit
When they went out, the brother and sister stood still.
"Sister, I'll go over and have a look first." Luo Tingchen motioned to Roman to go back to the house first: "No matter how virtuous and respectful Mama is, she is just Mama in the end." ”
Roman is very satisfied that his brother can calm down. If you care, you will be chaotic, and chaos will only be bad!
"You go and watch the slaves, and I'll go with my mother."
In the main courtyard, the father and son of the Pei family knelt in front of their mother's door and kowtowed, and the banging sound was amazing. Pei Junlin also slapped himself twice from time to time, shouting, 'Manman, I'm sorry.' ’
The minions of the Manfu Mansion watched in a circle, not knowing whether they were waiting for the end of the Pei family or watching the jokes of the Luo family.
Luo Tingchen blushed and wanted to scold, but Roman hurriedly pulled his sleeve: "My brother has always been a scholar who ignores the world, and he is very convinced of Mama Pei's ability to govern the family. ”
Fledgling, don't startle the snake!
Luo Tingchen suppressed his anger and signaled Roman to rest assured: "I know how to measure, I just watched from the side and something else happened." ”
"Well, be careful. The family is all open-minded. ”
As soon as Roman entered the door, Pei's mother, who was crying, walked towards her kneeling and hugged Roman's leg in an instant: "Miss, my family is handsome!" ”
This look, if you didn't know the inside story, you would have thought that you had seen Dou E.
Can be a play, who wouldn't?
Roman was about to cry because he was 'scared', and stood there timidly, looking at Mama Pei for help.
"Let go of Miss!" Mama Pei stood beside her mother, her face that had always been full of compassion was full of tears, and even her voice was low to the dust: "The government has been sentenced, how can we still cry out for injustice?" I brought you here today to ask you to kowtow to my wife and young lady to make amends. ”
Pei Muyuan's hopeful eyes quickly dimmed, and the hand holding Roman's trouser leg loosened a point, and the cry rose three points higher.
The mother who sat on the top also pressed a handkerchief to the corner of her eyes, and her tearful eyes were glued to Roman with pity, and finally looked at Pei's mother with a sigh: "Junlin can be regarded as something I grew up watching, and I still trust his character." He must have fallen for someone else's word......"
As soon as Roman was free, he hurried to his mother's side and wiped her tears. Hearing this, he took the afterglow to glance at Mama Pei, and saw that she was relieved.
"Mrs. Wisdom, Old Slave ......" Mama Pei, who had been suppressing and didn't dare to cry, was so moved that she cried, she knelt in front of her mother and kowtowed again and again: "If you get Mrs. 's words, you will die immediately, and it is worth it." ”
"Mama!"
Mother wanted to get up to help, but Roman preemptively helped Mama Pei up. She had red eyes and said sincerely: "In Manman's heart, Mama is closer than Grandmother. You are not a slave, and the Pei family can't let others oppress you. ”
"Mother, you have to help Mama and help the Pei family."
Without waiting for Mama Pei to react, Roman knelt in front of his mother, took his mother's hand and looked at him earnestly: "The Zhou family failed to cling to Brother Junlin, so they asked their daughter to do such a dirty thing, and they also bought the government to misjudge Brother Junlin." It's more than silver, and our family has a lot of it. Please take out the sealed letter and seek justice for Mama's family. ”
Mother is just a three-grade lady, and her seal can't deter anyone, but people can't slack off on the surface.
Mama Pei was caught off guard and subconsciously refused: "Don't dare to bother your wife." ”
felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly made up: "The Zhou family has the intention to destroy Junlin, and they have already done a thorough job of the bureau." We are self-purifying, and we dare not drag our wives down. ”
"Don't drag! When it is clear, I, I ......" Roman blushed all of a sudden, his eyebrows and eyes were shy and timid, and he couldn't say the next words.
Several people present understood that Roman was in love with Junlin, and wanted to renegotiate for his reputation.
Mama Pei quickly calculated in her heart, and made a decision in a moment.
Mrs. Xinjun is wronged, and Roman is a. In this way, she mentioned the conversation, and Roman naturally went to grind her mother.
Mama Pei kowtowed twice, embarrassed and sincere: "The old slave shouldn't have any more delusions, but Junlin was calculated, and the old slave dared to guarantee his life." begging his wife for mercy fulfilled his friendship with the young lady and made them ......"
"Don't!"
Roman broke off his words, blushing and red-eyed: "The girl of the Zhou family is not ashamed, but I want face." What's more, bearing such a notoriety also affects Junlin's entry into the scientific examination. ”
Mrs. Luo Si, who was originally wronged for the Pei family, suddenly felt a sudden heart: Yes, this is about Pei Junlin's career. If you are really wronged, you can't fight to the end with the Zhou family? Speaking of power, why is the Pei family, who has dependence, not stronger than the Zhou family?
What's more, there is no injustice and no hatred, the Zhou family spelled out a daughter, just to ruin Pei Junlin? He is a tenant, and he has the ability to do the whole game and sue the Pei family speechless?
At this moment, Pei Junlin's "Manman, I was wrong" came in again. Luo Mu, who was rubbing her temples, changed her face: "This one mouth is shouting, what should outsiders say?" ”
Mama Pei's scalp was numb, she looked at Mrs. Luo Si twice, and she didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly went out to make arrangements.
Mrs. Luo Si pulled Roman and patted her daughter's hand meaningfully: "Man Man is not small, you have to open your eyes and see more about everything." ”
Roman looked at his mother with a 'wincing' look, and Mrs. Luo Si patted her daughter's hand again, with a firm expression: "Don't be afraid, there is a mother in everything." ”
"Hmm" Roman clasped his mother's arm, full of admiration: "The father is gone, and the only thing the daughter can rely on is the mother." ”
Mrs. Luo Si felt a pain in her heart, and then became angry: Mrs. Pei still took the 'certificate' to shout injustice. She was almost deceived by her clever words. After the limelight, the idea of continuing to discuss relatives......
The children have no father, and she, a mother, can't be blind anymore.
Looking at his mother's appearance, Roman quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
This level has passed!
Mama Pei fainted, and there was a mess outside. Mrs. Pei went out in a hurry to carry people. Luo Tingchen detained the slaves who were running around, and his voice was fierce: "Today's incident, who dares to spread half a word, and beat him to death with a stick." ”
The servants were silent, but few took it seriously. Everyone knows that although this Beizhuang is surnamed Luo, it is Mama Pei who has the final say.
"It's about the reputation of the Pei family, everyone keeps it a secret, and Mama will be grateful to you when she wakes up." Roman's soft voice fell to the ground, and the promises of the servants in the courtyard came and went.
Mrs. Luo's eyes widened, and she secretly bit her lip and turned back to the house.
The mother did not chase after Mama Pei to take care of her, which is a great improvement. Roman followed his mother into the house, and ordered Zhou Hong to serve while the iron was hot: "I want to see with my own eyes what kind of daughter's family can be so shameless." ”
Mrs. Luo Si's hand holding the teacup paused, and after thinking for a moment, she nodded and agreed: "Let's go buy and buy, if the Zhou family is willing to sell people, they will be placed by your side to serve." ”
That sample man is not worthy of his daughter. But Pei Junlin once sacrificed his life to save her, not letting her see Zhou Hong's despair, but I was afraid that she would not be able to stop thinking about Pei Junlin.
According to custom, Zhou Hong should be sunk in the pond. For the sake of the reputation of the Zhou family, the Zhou family must act according to the rules, and Zhou Hong's parents did not ask for mercy when they broke their heads.
When Luo Tingchen rushed over, Zhou Hong had already been put into the pig cage. He said that he wanted to buy it, and Zhou Hong's parents were willing. The clansmen originally didn't follow, but they didn't dare to offend the Luo family; Second, if it is sold, it will not be the Zhou family, so it will not be forced.
Zhou Hong, who was released, only snorted coldly with his nose, and looked at Luo Tingchen's eyes full of caution and ridicule. When he came to Roman, he didn't have half a word of thanks, he knelt in front of Roman proudly, and said lightly: "How you want to torture, whatever you want." ”
"Hmm." Roman was concentrating on making tea, and he didn't raise his head: "I heard that you embroider well, there is a screen outside, you can embroider the moonlight on the lotus pond." ”
Embroidery? Zhou Hong was stunned, but Roman no longer paid attention to her.
Huairen said: You have to be careful in boiling tea, and if the heat is wrong, it will spoil the fragrance of the tea.
In the palace of the prince of Hejun, Jin Gui was hanging his hand to report the letter of the Roman family. The news was so detailed that the Luo family went to the thatched house several times a day. The novelties of these two days are naturally on paper.
Li Huaiyuan lit a few pieces of thin paper on the bookcase, and stretched his eyebrows with a smile: "In this way, the four rooms of the Luo family are really clean, and they have nothing to do with the court." ”
rubbed the word 'Roman' on the paper again, and said with a smile: "Let a house slave handle it for five whole years, and it is really enough." ”
Jin Gui followed with a smile: "When there was an accident back then, the fourth wife was so shocked that she didn't want to live, and her children were still young. What if you don't rely on capable minions? ”
"Yes!"
Li Huaiyuan smiled and threw the tissue paper aside: "Looking at this technique, it looks like I have grown up." ”
Because Roman mentioned that her little uncle had money and food, Jin Gui also checked the Zhao family. Now that one by one has come out, Li Huaiyuan was a little surprised: "Zhao Wenxiang is not the fourth person?" ”
Zhao Wenxiang is the eldest uncle of Luo Man's in-law, and only last year was recommended by the fourth prince, King Qin, to be promoted to the deputy envoy of Jinghu South Road.
Jin Gui shook his head firmly: "The Zhao family is rich and noble, and the King of Qin intends to win over." But the Zhao family seems to be reluctant to be involved. ”
He Junwang tapped his fingers on the table and didn't speak.
"Second Master Zhao is pure, and his two eyes are only staring at silver and business. Looking at him like that, I'm afraid that I want to do business overseas. ”
Zhao Jialao, the second Zhao Wennian and Roman's mother Zhao Pingniang are half-brothers. Because his mother had only been gone for half a year, his father married Zhao Wennian's mother and gave birth to Zhao Wennian soon. The young Zhao Pingniang believed that his father and stepmother had been involved for a long time, and even suspected that the two had conspired to assassinate his mother.
For this reason, no matter how much she pleases her stepmother and younger brother, she only has a deep dislike for them. Because the eldest brother accepted their mother and son, Zhao Pingniang even hated the eldest brother.
Since Zhao Pingniang got married, she broke off contact with the Zhao family, and even when her father died, she only sent some sacrifices back.
Speaking of Zhao Wennian, Li Huaixian glanced at the word 'Roman' on the tissue paper again, and the corners of his lips curled slightly: "That girl mentioned her little uncle, but she was very affectionate." ”
Jin Gui also laughed: "Second Grandfather Zhao's mother and son are really wronged." ”
Li Huai took out official business and began to deal with it, and stopped talking. Jin Gui waited on the side for a long time, but still asked for instructions: "Since the Zhao family is clean, and Second Master Zhao really has some ability, what about the little past contact?" ”
Looking at Jinghu's posture, I am afraid that it will really cause a disaster. Be prepared first, and you are not afraid that the Holy Lord will really send the prince to relieve the disaster.
"No, you don't." Li Huaixian wrote on an official document without raising his head: "You keep an eye on the Luo family and see what the brother and sister want to do with that Diao slave." ”
