Chapter 54: Wu Da is captured
In the Su Mansion, Mother Li entered the inner courtyard with vigorous steps, and her forbearance expression was happy, and she quickly stepped into the courtyard of Mrs. Lin Shihui of Zhixian County, and the Lin family was looking at the account book of this month, and a few girls knew Lin's temperament, and stood aside in a regular manner, not daring to make a sound of relief.
Mother Li pressed her excitement, entered the house lightly, waved her hand to signal a few girls to go out, and then whispered in Lin's ear: "Madam, a big happy event, Wu Da has caught it." ”
"Really." Lin Shi was overjoyed, raised his head and looked at his nurse hopefully.
"Really, Chang Qing waited at the gate of the city with Yuan'er, and sure enough, he waited for Wu Da early this morning." Chang Qing is Li's mother's father-in-law, both of them are the sons of the Lin family, gave birth to a son Chang Yuan, married into the Su family as compensation when the Lin family got married, the husband and wife are loyal to the Lin family, Chang Qing manages the dowry industry for the Lin family, usually walks around outside, and Li's mother manages the backyard affairs for the Lin family, which is deeply valued by the Lin family.
After Xiao Ming was attacked, Li's mother suggested sending someone to guard the gate of Nancheng, which was the only way to go out of the city and return to Beijing.
On the fifth watch, Wu Da came out of the concubine and prepared to go out of the city and return to Beijing, Hang Erlang hummed a small song, reminiscing about the enthusiasm of the concubine last night, and was caught by Chang Qing and Chang Yuan who were in ambush before he left the city.
"Hahaha." Lin laughed out loud regardless of his behavior, and his heart was full of happiness, he had been pressed by Wu's slut all these years, and almost hurt her Wan'er, and she was finally able to let out a bad breath, and now Aunt Wu has the handle in her hands, and it is not up to her to kill or kill.
A concubine is a concubine after all, even if she is favored this time, she can't escape the crime of murder, killing pays for her life, the lord is an official, no matter how much she spoils her, she can't shield her in front of ironclad evidence.
Thinking of this, Lin Shi calmed down and ordered: "Don't let people know about this matter, especially the one in Qingfang Yuan, lock him up in Zhuangzi first, and then deal with it when the master comes back tomorrow." ”
"Well, the old slave knows that he must let Changqing look at people well." Li's mother agreed, "But this Wu has a hard mouth and won't say anything." ”
"I won't say, huh! He thought that Wu Xiaohuan could come to save him, a scoundrel, and if he refused to say it, he would beat him until he was willing to say it. Lin hated.
"I can finally give Dr. Xiao an explanation." Mother Li said, as if she had put down a big stone in her heart, when Mrs. Hua was just sent back, she kept hanging in her heart, and she was worried that Dr. Xiao would misunderstand Mrs., knowing that the mastermind behind the scenes was Aunt Wu, but there was nothing she could do about her.
Aunt Wu's quibbles, the lord's frankness, made the lady very disappointed in the lord, and she was secretly anxious when she looked at it.
Fortunately, Wu Da is a scoundrel, greedy for money and gambling, she asked Chang Qing and Chang Yuan to find all the gambling houses in the city in the past two days, secretly inquired about it, waited at the city gate for a day and night, and finally caught Wu Da.
"It's because I didn't govern my family strictly, and I dealt with this matter, and I have to personally come to the door to make amends." Lin said, after this incident, she was completely disappointed in Su Chengan, she didn't expect him to cover up the Wu family so much, and ignore Xiao Ming, who had the grace to save her life.
She likes Xiao Ming very much, who is skilled in medicine, and is grateful for her life-saving grace to Wan'er, but also pities her poor life experience without a father and mother.
She was born in a merchant and married into the Su family of the official eunuch, which can be regarded as jumping from the high door and completely getting rid of the cheap status of a businessman. Over the years, she did not hesitate to subsidize the entire Su family with her dowry silver, donated official property to the Su family, and even raised a concubine for Su Chengan, hoping to gain the respect of the Su family.
It's a pity that for so many years, Mrs. Su still disdains her, looking at her eyes full of disgust for the lowliness of the merchant girl, it is better to treat her as a concubine, and would rather favor Aunt Wu who pleases her.
Su Chengan was even more concubines who carried them home one by one, and spoiled Aunt Wu to the sky with her silver.
Although she is a merchant, she understands etiquette and shame, and she will repay her kindness and revenge.
She has endured it for the sake of her children over the years, this time she doesn't plan to endure it anymore, Aunt Wu can kill Xiao Ming for the sake of family affairs, and it is hard to guarantee that one day she will not attack her Wan'er.
ate her, drank her, and fought against her everywhere, saying that she was a thorn in the flesh in his own eyes.
But this time, no matter how much the old lady in the family spoils her, no matter how much the old man protects her, she will peel off a layer of her skin.

Xiao Ming took the opportunity to clean up the inventory in the space, picked the fruits in the space, and mixed them with the outside to make wine.
The time in the space is different outside, a few days to ripen, after the number of fruits in the warehouse is more, Xiao Ming is not picking, because of the special preservation effect of the space, the fruits are hung on the tree when they are ripe, and they have been maintained as when they are ripe, and they will not rot if they are not picked.
Xiao Ming spent five days to make wine, and only used peaches and grapes, the number was too much, Xiao Ming deliberately asked Xia Xiaoba to pull two hundred wine jars back, that is, grapes and peach wine accounted for more than a hundred wine jars.
There were sixty-five jars of peach wine and seventy-two jars of wine, each of which was marked and neatly placed in the storehouse.
Looking at the rows of fruit wine, Xiao Ming felt a sense of accomplishment, thinking about the deliciousness of fruit wine, and her eyes were full of smiles.
"Sister, are these fruit wines delicious?" Xiao Han asked with some uncertainty, looking at the rows of wine jars, and secretly calculated in his heart, according to the price negotiated with Kong Lin before, one pound of fruit and one tael of silver, and the peaches and grapes used for these wines are five or six hundred catties, which is more than six hundred taels of silver.
It's a pity in my heart, I don't know if these wines can be sold for a good price.
"Of course it's delicious, don't you still believe your sister and me? You'll find out in half a month. Xiao Ming glared at Xiao Han and said dissatisfied, she knew that this younger brother was a money addict, and she felt sorry for the silver, but could the fruit wine with space water not taste good?
Fruit wine has a low alcohol content and low alcohol content, and the addition of space water not only enhances the taste, but also makes it easy to store.
"When the time comes, the wine will be sold for twenty taels of silver per jar, and eighteen taels of silver for the rest." Xiao Ming set a price for fruit wine.
"It's so expensive." Xiao Han was surprised.
"Yes, the most expensive wine in the capital is only ten taels of silver?" Xia Xiaoba shouted, thinking that Xiao Ming didn't know the price of goods, so he set the price indiscriminately.
"It's rare and weird, you said that the fruit here tastes better than in the capital." Xiao Ming asked Xia Xiaoba.
"The fruits here are indeed better than those in the capital, not to mention the size and uniformity, and the taste is sweeter and more delicious than that in the capital. It is not an exaggeration to enter the palace as a tribute. Xia Xiaoba said truthfully, he has not eaten the fruits in the palace, and there are rewards for the Houfu every year, and they have tasted a lot of them in close proximity to the prince, and it is not as good as this taste.
"That's right, it's normal for such a good-tasting fruit to be sold more expensively, and scarce is expensive." Xiao Ming said.
