Chapter 21: Angry Grandmother
Wei Shi was forced to stop by Ji Yanning, and the old lady was even more displeased when she heard it.
"It's just a family matter, what will it be like to go to the government!" ordered the old lady, "you have people withdraw this matter at once." ”
Ji Yanning said helplessly: "Grandmother, it's not up to me to have the final say in the government." ”
The old lady didn't believe her words: "As long as you send someone to the prefect's yamen to say that something is wrong, and then make amends to the prefect, this matter will be over." ”
"I don't understand what Grandmother is saying, Wei Furen is greedy for my Baochang Ji's silver, why can't I send him to the government?" Ji Yanning's tone cooled.
The old lady said: "He is your second aunt's mother's family, and he has been working in Baochang Ji for several years, even if he takes a little silver, what is it?"
"Oh?" Ji Yanning said, "It's nothing to take some silver? If everyone is like this, what kind of business does Baochang Ji do! Not to mention Wei Furen, even if the people of the Ji family want to take away Baochang Ji's money, I can still send people to prison." ”
"Smack-" The old lady smashed the teacup in her hand towards Ji Yanning and hit her directly, the hot tea soaked her clothes, and the skin on her hands was flushed.
Ji Yanning didn't move, she looked up at the old lady, there was no trace of warmth in her cold eyes.
The old lady said angrily: "Don't forget, you are a member of the Ji family, and we are all relatives whose blood is thicker than water." ”
Ji Yanning still said unhurriedly: "Grandmother is right, we are relatives whose blood is thicker than water, but Wei Furen is not. I don't want the Ji family's money to become the Wei family's. ”
"Are you determined to let him go?" The old lady's eyes were heavy, and she looked at Ji Yanning more and more unpleasantly.
Ji Yanning still bowed to the old lady and said, "Grandmother is old, don't worry about these little things, granddaughter will take care of it." ”
Before they could continue to speak, Ji Yanning had already turned around and walked out.
"Someone, stop her for me!" the old lady roared.
As soon as Ji Yanning walked out of the door, several mothers-in-law walked out and stopped in front of her.
Instead of turning around, she asked, "Grandmother, what is this going to do?"
The old lady stood up directly and said in a loud voice: "Today I will teach you a lesson for your parents and the ancestors of the Ji family!
"Mother, Sister Ning just didn't figure it out for a while, and she wouldn't ask for family law. Merriam-Webster said on the side.
Having said that, but her eyes were full of excitement, the old lady personally came forward to teach Ji Yanning a lesson, if she fought back, she would be discredited, after all, the old lady was her grandmother, and it would be unfilial to fight back.
The grandmother beside the old lady immediately asked people to get the family law, which was a long rattan.
Ziyu looked at it and was a little worried: "Miss......"
Ji Yanning motioned for her to be quiet.
"Turn around and get down on your knees. The old lady walked up behind her and shouted.
Ji Yanning was not afraid, turned around and waved his sleeves, and then said to the old lady: "Grandmother, you are old, but don't be angry, otherwise you will be angry, where can you live for a long time?"
"You evil beast!" the old lady, who was already angry, heard her say this, and felt her whole brain surging with blood and blood, and she wanted to suck her to death.
That's what she thinks, and that's what she does.
When she raised her hand holding the long rattan, she was about to slap Ji Yanning hard, but for some reason, her brain suddenly became heavy and weak.
The rattan had not yet fallen on Ji Yanning's body, and the old lady's eyes were dark, and her body fell.
"Old lady!" the grandmother on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
Wei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect the old lady to fall suddenly.
But before she could react, Ji Yanning had already spoken: "Since grandmother is unwell, I won't bother you here, and I hope you can rest well and don't worry about some messy things." ”
The old lady's body couldn't be strengthened, the whole person was dizzy, and when she heard Ji Yanning's words, she pointed at Ji Yanning tremblingly: "You...... You bastard......"
Wei also stepped forward to support the old lady, Ji Yanning was so angry with her, I was afraid that she would be angry.
Now you can't let her have an accident, if the old lady has an accident, there will be no one to fight against Ji Yanning with her.
Ji Yanning looked at Wei Shi and said, "It's also strange to the second aunt about this, why don't you say something inconsequential to your grandmother to make her worry?"
"It's clear that you made the old lady angry......"
She was only halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Ji Yanning: "If it wasn't for what you provoked, how could there be something later." ”
Mama couldn't take care of them now, so she helped the old lady into the back room and asked people to ask for a doctor.
Ji Yanning walked straight out of the main courtyard.
Seeing Ji Yanning swaggering away, Wei gritted his teeth with hatred.
originally thought that she could easily get Baochang Ji, but she didn't expect Ji Yanning to become such an evil sect after waking up, and sent her cousin to prison!
The old lady was sent to the bed in the inner room to rest, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and the more angry she felt, the more her heart ached.
The doctor was invited into the old lady's courtyard in a hurry, but after careful diagnosis and treatment, it was difficult to find out the symptoms.
"Doctor, how is my mother's condition?" asked Merriam-Webster.
The doctor frowned slightly, and said, "Judging from the pulse, the old lady is just a little angry, and there is no big problem. ”
"How can it be that it is not a big deal?" Webster wondered, "but my mother almost fainted just now, and she still keeps saying that her heart hurts." ”
The doctor stood up and arched his hand: "The old man is only a shallow learner, and he can't see what is wrong with the old lady." ”
The old lady lying on the hospital bed listened to their conversation, and suddenly became angry: "You quack, what do you want!"
Her anger made her heart hurt more and more, and she couldn't speak, so she could only let herself slow down.
The doctor's face suddenly became a little uncomfortable, although he was not a miracle doctor, but few people pointed at his nose and scolded him as a quack.
He said to Wei: "Mrs. Ji, the old lady's illness can't be seen below, please be smart." ”
Webster said, "Doctor, take a closer look." ”
Before the doctor could speak, the old lady had already shouted loudly, clamoring to change the doctor, and told him to get out of here.
The doctor was so angry that he saluted directly, carried his medicine box and left.
Wei had no choice but to order his subordinates to ask for other doctors.
At this time, Ji Yanning had already returned to his courtyard.
She knew that it would not be good for the old lady and the second lady to let her pass, so she prepared the powder of the poison early, and when she began to salute, she had already sprinkled the powder.
People who inhale this kind of powder, as long as they move, will urge the body to rush to attack the heart, the whole body is weak, and the symptoms of dizziness and pain appear, and the weaker the body, the more obvious the attack.
And the old lady is old, and Ji Yanning is so angry that she will naturally fall.
Wei wants to use the old lady to interfere with her, but she is afraid that she will put herself in an unbearable situation, on the one hand, the Wei family is investigated, and on the other hand, the old lady is sick, even if she has three heads and six arms, she has to be tired and peel off her skin.
Steward Wu handled things firmly, and took a few bookkeepers overnight to thoroughly check Wei Furen's accounts in the past few years, and after strictly interrogating the little guys and letters around him, he found out that he had embezzled as much as 50,000 taels of silver from Baochang, which was only the number on the surface, and secretly he didn't know how much money he had received from others!
Early the next morning, Steward Wu came to Xiyuan with the counted accounts.
Ji Yanning rolled his eyes casually and said, "Take it to the prefect's yamen and tell the prefect that half of the money will be used to repair roads, and the soup kitchen will also give some money to the people in the yamen, and the remaining half will be decided by the adults themselves." ”
Steward Wu saw her thoughts, and said, "Miss, don't worry, our Jiangzhou prefect, Lord Cen, is a good official who does practical things, and this money can be spent where it should be spent." ”
Ji Yanning was a little curious: "Lord Cen, I don't know what the name of this prefect is?"
"The prefect's name is Cen Qingshan, he was appointed as the prefect of Jiangzhou six years ago, and he has done a lot of things for Jiangzhou in the past few years, and he is not like other prefects who ask for it from the Shang family. Steward Wu said, "It stands to reason that such a person has a good political performance, but I don't know why he was not promoted or transferred three years ago." ”
When Ji Yanning heard Cen Qingshan's name, he was slightly stunned, and then asked, "Is Lord Cen a member of the Lin'an clan, the leader of the fourteenth year of Taihe?"
Steward Wu glanced at her in some surprise and replied, "Lord Cen is indeed a Lin'an clan, as for whether it is Taihe's fourteen-year leader, it is unknown. ”
"It turned out to be him. Ji Yanning subconsciously blurted out, she didn't expect that in Jiangzhou, which is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, she could still meet the people she had seen in her previous life.
Cen Qingshan is a straight man, the year he was in high school, he paraded through the streets with the champion and Tanhua, the champion horse startled an old beggar and injured the old beggar's leg, the champion not only did not apologize, but also disliked the old beggar and wanted to drive him away.
Cen Qingshan, who saw this, immediately theorized with the champion on the street, and the two of them argued, and they actually fought in the push and shove of everyone.
The fight between Zhuangyuan and Bangyan over an old beggar became the most popular topic of public opinion that year, and this matter was spread in the streets and alleys, and the two of them also made a feud because of it.
Coincidentally, on the day of their fight, she happened to witness all the incidents, when she and Sister Mei were in the teahouse, planning to see the demeanor of the street warriors, where would she have thought that she could see this good show.
Although his character is immediately superior, if Cen Qingshan's temperament is in the officialdom, he will definitely have to suffer a lot, and I don't know if he has learned to endure and be flexible after more than 20 years of tempering?
The soft color in Ji Yanning's eyebrows puzzled Steward Wu, and he asked, "Does the eldest lady know Lord Cen?"
"I heard my father mention it, and he seems to be an interesting person. Ji Yanning handed the book in his hand to Steward Wu and said, "Since Steward Wu is also at ease with Lord Cen, then he will be responsible for all the money." ”
Steward Wu bowed his head, although he was curious that the eldest lady changed her mind so easily, but he still did according to her arrangement.
