"Why did you hit you?" Tang Yanning clapped her hands and smiled, "Gu Yu, you tell her." ”

Gu Yu, the faithful little dog, stepped forward, looked at Liu Er condescendingly, and pointed at Liu Er with a pretty face: "I beat you, naturally because you didn't serve you well." ”

"Madame takes medicine every day, but her body does not improve, and you don't know to report it to the old lady and Grandpa Guo, this is one of them. Serving Mrs. Medicine, I didn't know that I had prepared the candied fruit in advance, and the bitter medicine soup told Mrs. to drink it dry, so it can be seen that you didn't put Mrs. in the first place, this is the second. Madame is not in good health, and the diet should be light to nourish the spleen and stomach, what are these you called? In addition to being oily and sweet, they all come according to your own appetite, and this is the third. Carefully speaking, these three can actually be summed up in one sentence, madam, you didn't take it to heart. ”

"You talk nonsense!" Liu Er screamed, "Madame never wants preserves when she takes medicine, and those meals are what Madame wants to eat!" Madam, speak for the slave and maid, you have wronged me to death! ”

As he spoke, he fell on the ground and wept bitterly, "Oh my God, where in this world is there no ghost who has died unjustly? ”

Tang Yanning watched with relish, this Liu Er's acting skills were much better than the small flesh and flowers she had seen in her previous life.

"Ah Ning, Liu Er doesn't have a heart either." Lin is a simple and kind person, Liu Er has served her for a few years, and naturally has some feelings. I really couldn't bear to see Liu Er crying sadly, Lin tried to persuade her daughter, "I taught her a lesson this time, and she will know it in the future." ”

"Mother, you're just too soft-hearted."

Tang Yanning took Lin's hand, pointed at Liu Er and said to Lin, "Look, she is still dressed like a girl?" ”

Lin glanced at Liu Er suspiciously, Liu Er's body trembled slightly, and her head was buried in her hands.

With this bow, Lin could see more clearly.

Liu Er's black pressed hair was tied in a double bun, and a small red gold phoenix hairpin was inserted in her hair, with red treasures embedded in the phoenix eyes, and a large jasper butterfly hairpin pressed on the sideburns, and a very rich gold twisted silk bracelet on her wrist.

At first glance, it looks more elaborate than ordinary young ladies.

"Are these all given to her by her mother?"

Tang Yanning asked with a smile, "Although Liu Er is a child of the family, and her parents are a little decent, but the things on this hand and head are worth without me needing to say." Mother, you think, this is something that a family child can afford? ”

Especially the jasper hairpin in her hair, which is clear and lush, is the best at first glance, and is worth no less than a thousand taels. No matter how generous the master of this mansion is, it is impossible to reward such a thing to a girl.

Lin Shi was surprised, "This, this is not ......"

What's in her dowry?

The Lin family has a lot of money, and he has never paid much attention to these gold and silver artifacts. Tang Yanning didn't say anything, and she didn't pay attention either. At this time, I looked at it, and I saw it.

Her face became serious.

Lin always felt that his body was not good, and it was not easy for Liu'er to serve him, but he had to stay in this Wutong Xuan every day at the same age as Hua'er. Some things pass with your eyes closed. But she can tolerate Liu'er not being so dedicated, but she can't tolerate Liu'er to do this kind of thing.

"Liu'er, what's going on?" Lin asked angrily.

Liu Er raised her head, her face was full of tears, and she bit her lip, but she stubbornly did not speak.

Tang Yanning looked at her like this, sneered, and asked the Lin family: "Mother, where is your dowry list?" ”

"I remember it was in the ...... In the rosewood cabinet in the back storeroom. ”

In the customs of this dynasty, ordinary people marry women, whether it is a dowry or a dowry, the list is in triplicate, the male and female families each keep one bottom, and the other copy is handed over to the local yamen to keep, which is regarded as a kind of protection.

"Gu Yu." Tang Yanning instructed, "You go and bring my mother's dowry list, as well as the account books of Wutong Xuan's things in and out in the past few years, and I want to reconcile the accounts." ”

Gu Yu agreed, and was about to go out.

Liu Er hugged Gu Yu's legs, this time she was really in tears, and her face was full of panic, "Good sister, wait a minute." ”

She walked to Tang Yanning on her knees and raised her head, "Girl, good girl, is it a slave, I really like this hairpin, so I took it and wore it." If the slave is wrong, the slave will return it. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the jasper hairpin, used more force, tore off a few hairs, and held them in both hands and sent them to the Lin family, "Madam, for the sake of the slave and maid serving you wholeheartedly for a few years, spare the slave and maid this time!" As soon as Sister Gu Yu went over to take the account book, what face did the slave and maid have? ”

She cried so sadly, and Lin looked at Tang Yanning.

Tang Yanning was not as easily shaken as the Lin family, raised her chin, and signaled Gu Yu not to pay attention to her.

Gu Yu understood and strode out.

"Lixia, go and call two people in."

Lixia hurriedly went out, and brought in two strong mothers-in-law after a while.

"Tie up Liu'er, gag up, I'm listening to chaos." Tang Yanning ordered lightly.

Liu Er is the big girl in Wutong Xuan, relying on herself to be Mrs. Su's person, she usually has her eyes above the top, and she is very bitter in her words and actions, and there are not a few people in Wutong Xuan who have been bullied by her.

The two mothers-in-law glanced at each other, their faces showed joy, and without saying a word, they went up and tied up Liu'er, and stuffed a sweat towel in their mouths.

Liu Er's face was full of tears and looked at Lin for help.

Lin couldn't bear it, don't overdo it.

"Girl." Gu Yu came back with a plate of account books and a brocade box, "This is Wutong Xuan's account book and Mrs.'s dowry list." ”

As he spoke, he put things on the table and opened the brocade box.

"Don't worry, eat first."

Tang Yanning picked up the japonica rice porridge and smiled mischievously: "Mother, let me feed you?" ”

"I'll do it myself." Lin hurriedly took the porridge. Her appetite was really not very good, and she only took a few bites and put it down. It was Tang Yanning, who ate a plate of jade roasted wheat with chicken soup wontons.

When Gu Yu Lixia had also eaten and cleaned up the table, Tang Yanning asked all the people who served in Wutong Xuan to go to the courtyard.

Gu Yu was clever, put a chair at the door first, and invited Tang Yanning to sit down.

Tang Yanning looked at it, there were not many people serving in this Wutong Xuan, and there were about twenty large and small.

"I know you've all been waiting in the Wutong Pavilion for a long time. My mother has a good temper and is also a good person, there are some things, she doesn't care, I'm a daughter, but I can't let you. ”

asked the mother-in-law to bring out the sturdy-tied willow.

"Liu'er, you all know that the first-class girl is very decent." Tang Yan's cold gaze swept over everyone, and when she saw that some of them were surprised and some were happy, she only sneered, "Her hands and feet are not clean, and she shouldn't move." ”

Before the words fell, the mother-in-law and maids standing in the courtyard all whispered.

"Did you eat the heart of a bear and a leopard?"

"Oh my God, look at Miss Liu'er's serious appearance on weekdays, but behind her back?"
