Chapter 197: Find something for her to do
There was such a big commotion in the house, and it was naturally impossible for the Zhang family not to know.
She didn't expect that Aunt Wang usually looked like a quail, and she would dare to do such a thing.
"What's going on over there?"
"Mrs. Hui, the lord took someone over to see it, but the eldest lady only said that the maid was talking nonsense, and Aunt Wang went to see her, and the lord left directly without saying anything." Qingxi replied.
Zhang sneered dissatisfiedly. "She's so generous!" This "she" is naturally talking about Lin Mumu, Aunt Wang has done something to her, she let people go so easily.
"This slut's thoughts are getting more and more elusive." Zhang took off his coat and sat on the bed.
Mama Qian waited for Zhang to lie down on the bed and let everyone else retreat.
Today, things didn't work out, and he folded his daughter to go in, where can the Zhang family sleep.
"Mama Qian, where did you say that slut put those things? Could it be in the same house she lived in before? ”
"It's hard to say, when she moved in before, her wife also sent someone to see it, and she didn't find that she moved anything big."
Hearing this, Zhang's angrily slapped his palm on the bed. "What the hell is this slut hiding?"
"Don't worry, madam, as long as those things are there, she will always use them one day."
"And when am I going to wait?"
This Mama Qian can't answer, she has also seen the dowry of the Rong family with her own eyes, how can she not be blushing, if the Zhang family gets those things, she can more or less get some light.
But now she can also understand that Lin Mumu is not so easy to deal with, and some things have to be discussed in the long run.
……
Early the next morning, Lin Mumu asked Shuangshuang to send a message to Ning Yuan.
In the next days of rest, she was safe in the Lin Mansion, and the Zhang family did not have any more moths for the time being.
"Miss, Ning Yuan has sent a message."
At noon that day, Lin Mumu had just had lunch, and they both walked into the house with the news.
Lin Mumu took the letter and opened it to look at it, with a sneer on her face.
"It seems that Ning Yuan is quite familiar with the secret guards of the Imperial Palace."
She sent a message to Ning Yuan a few days ago, asking Ning Yuan to check on Zhang's mother's family, just because Ning Yuan's current network is not so fast, I think this is someone who borrowed Zhao Xuanling.
Zhang's father is just a waiter from the six products in the Hanlin Academy, although the Zhang family has been an official in the court for two generations, but the official position is not enough to see at all, and Zhang's grandfather is just a sacrificial wine.
Although in terms of practical value, the Zhang family is far inferior to the Rong family, but Lin Haode can't hear others say that he married the Rong family completely because of the financial resources of the Rong family, so when he married again, he did not hesitate to choose the so-called noble family like the Zhang family, of course, the two have long been reluctant and this is also one of the reasons.
Zhang's brother also has two brothers-in-law, one is released as a county official, and the other can't support the wall After Lin Haode became a scholar, Zhang's leaned on the pillow to get him into the ranks of the forbidden army.
For example, he asked for a lot of silver from the Zhang family some time ago to take it for profit, which is absolutely not allowed for the incumbents of the imperial court......
"I think Zhang's has been too idle lately
, let Ning Yuan find something for her to do as soon as possible, so as not to get Miss Ben in front of Miss Ben's eyes. ”
"Yes, the slave will go and pass the word to Ning Yuan."
……
In the fragrant courtyard, Qingxi lifted the curtain and walked into the house.
"Madam, Madam Lu from the old lady's side came over, saying that the old lady felt a headache today and asked the treasury to take ginseng that was more than 50 years old to make up for her."
"Smack"
The ledger in Zhang's hand was thrown heavily on the table.
"Is she going to die and hang on her last breath or what, she will open her mouth to ask for more than fifty years of ginseng, she really thinks that the silver in the house fell from the sky!?" She only sorted out the pile of bad debts that Mrs. Lin made before, and now this dead old woman wants to come out again!
"You go and say that the ginseng before has been used up, and there is no more in the house now."
"Madam, it's okay if the ginseng in the house is gone, and the old lady said that it is the same to let Mrs. give the right cards and let the old slave go to the account room to get the silver and go out to buy it."
As soon as Zhang's words were finished, Mama Lu opened the curtain with a smile and walked in.
Zhang choked, so angry that she couldn't smash the account book on Mama Lu's face, she pulled the corners of her mouth and said: "Mama doesn't know, the expenditure of the house this month has greatly exceeded the previous one, and I'm afraid there is no extra silver in the account room, and I ask Mama to tell the old lady well, will this ginseng be successful again?" ”
Mama Lu showed a smile on her face, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes. "Madame is in charge of the middle feed in the house, and the old slave doesn't know about the silver, but the old lady is not feeling well now, and the doctor who invited him said that the old lady is too weak, and she has to use ginseng to make up for it, where can you wait for this, if the old lady's body waits for something, the old slave can't afford it."
The smirk on Zhang's face could no longer be maintained. "Mrs. Ben remembers that the old lady received two ginseng sticks on her birthday before."
"Madame has a good memory, that ginseng was used by the old lady last month, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you."
Zhang's was so angry that she fell down, this old woman clearly wanted to take money from the public! But if she doesn't give this situation, she will definitely make trouble with Lin Haode, and she will be the one who will be blamed for Lin Haode's temperament.
Zhang took a deep breath and suppressed his anger at wanting to kill the old lady.
"Qingxi, go and tell the housekeeper to let him go out immediately and buy a fifty-year-old ginseng and send it back to the old lady!"
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
got a satisfactory answer, and Mama Lu didn't stay any longer. "Thank you, madam, there can't be a shortage of people on the old lady's side, so the old slave will retire first."
"Bang dang!"
As soon as Mama Lu left, Zhang swept everything on the table to the ground.
"This old immortal, I can't wait to move everything in the house to her house, why doesn't she bring it in a coffin!?"
"Madame's anger."
"Madam, no, no!" Shui Lan ran into the house in a panic.
"How do you talk about the, your wife and I are very good!" Zhang's eyes widened.
Shui Lan was frightened, but still said in a trembling voice: "Madam, yes, it was the second uncle who had an accident!" ”
"What did you say?"
"Today, my uncle went to collect money, but the other party made a fuss without giving it to my uncle, and later, I accidentally beat someone to death, and it happened that Jing Zhaoyin passed by and found that my uncle was arrested......"
Zhang
Weak, he sat down in his chair.
"Why, how can this be, father? Did my father know about this? ”
"Someone has been sent over there to inquire about the news, and the person sent said that the uncle had offended Jing Zhaoyin before, and I am afraid that this matter will be difficult, so let's see if I can let the master ......come forward."
Let Lin Haode come forward...... Can she still hide what she did?!
Zhang's heart was troubled, and he secretly hated his brother for not being angry and not being able to do any trivial things.
"Don't alarm the master's side first, you first send someone to Jingzhaoyin's Mansion to inquire about the specific situation, and come and tell me immediately after inquiring."
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
When Lin Haode came back, he happened to meet Lin Mumu, who also returned to the house.
Lin Mumu stepped forward to greet Lin Haode when he saw him. "Father is back."
"Hmm."
"Father, did you talk to Lord Jingzhao Yin Ji about that?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Haode's eyes. "What kind of anger do you have with him for the sake of the Father?"
Lin Mumu's face showed a touch of surprise. "Father doesn't know? It's a big deal. ”
Lin Haode was even more puzzled. "What the hell is going on?"
"Originally, my junior shouldn't have talked about this in private, lest Mrs. think that I chewed my tongue in front of my father, and I was the uncle of the Zhang family, and I went to the Ji Mansion in the morning to give Ji's mother a follow-up, and then I heard that the uncle of the Zhang family in the forbidden army gave money privately, and beat people to death, and Ji didn't dare to delay and immediately went to investigate and arrest people."
"Privately release money! And killed someone!? Lin Haode's face sank, and the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently.
"Yes, my father also knows that the emperor has clearly stipulated that if there are officials in the court who give money privately, the court will never hire them again, and they will be severely punished...... Eh, father, where are you going......" Before Lin Mumu finished speaking, Lin Haode left angrily.
Looking at the back of Lin Haode leaving, the look on Lin Mumu's face slowly fell.
Lin Haode first instructed the housekeeper to inquire about the matter, and then went to Zhang's Fragrance Courtyard.
"Madam, the master is here."
Zhang, who was sitting in front of the dresser, hurriedly helped her sideburns and stood up, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Lin Haode walking in angrily with a calm face.
"Sir...... Your ......"
"Zhang, what do you say is the matter with your Zhang family's loser!?" Without waiting for Zhang to finish speaking, Lin Haode questioned repeatedly.
Zhang's heart jumped, knowing that the matter could not be hidden from Lin Haode, her eyes were red, and she cried in a low pleading voice.
"The lord is angry, the concubine is trying to explain this matter to the master...... The concubine didn't know who his brother had provoked outside, and he had framed him like this! She has already inquired clearly, it was her second brother who killed the person with his own hands, this matter cannot be relied on, now the important thing is to save her brother's life first, and then see if she can get back the silver she gave out!
Lin Haode sneered. "As far as your brother's virtue is concerned, there are still people who will frame him?" Even if it is framed, it is always necessary to frame someone who is valuable and beneficial to himself, Lin Haode can't see what value the mud of the Zhang family has.
"Master, you forgot, my brother is useless, but who made his brother-in-law you?"
Lin Haode frowned. "What do you mean by that?"
