Ruoxue heard him say this, so she said: "Since Liang Gongzi said so, then I will punish this little guy on behalf of the mansion, and let him have a better memory, so as not to beat any adult and young master in the future!" ”

Liang Chengzu, the eldest son of Liang, nodded, raised his hand and said, "What Miss Mei said is very true, how to punish him." ”

The little guy raised his head to look at his two young masters, and lowered his head again, can he say that he is not wrong? The beating of the young master of the Mei family was also to let the young master of his own family get rid of the situation of being beaten.

Ruoxue called Qiu Lin and asked him to take that little guy out to play twenty boards.

Qiu Lin agreed, waved his hand, and asked the two family members behind him to go up and bring people out.

Liang Chengzu frowned, "This is a bit too heavy, right?" He said.

Liang Rui also said: "That's it, twenty boards are too many." ”

Ruoxue glanced at the person opposite, Liang Chengzu was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his face looked particularly powerful, and Liang Rui next to him was similar in age to Mei Zhishu, there were bruises at the corners of his mouth, and his face was a little swollen, which should have been caused by a fight.

"Liang Gongzi said that how many hits are appropriate? Just now, you said that I would do it, and now I want to beat him to avenge my brother. ”

Ruoxue didn't just ask Liang Dagongzi, but asked the two of them to see what they said.

"No, no...... Five hits! Liang Rui hurriedly stood up, stretched out five fingers and gestured, and turned his head to look at his eldest brother's face.

"No...... Mei Zhi stood up suddenly, looked at the two people of the Liang family, and then turned his head to look at Ruoxue.

Tao Zhe stretched out his hand and pulled him, telling him not to worry.

Liang Chengzu's eyebrows jumped, this is a must-have beaten.

He looked at Mei Zhigao opposite, and then moved his gaze to Ruoxue, sitting elegantly with an aura that no one would approach, and his face had the look of a person who had been in the top position for a long time, he was really a character who was not easy to get along with.

"How about ten strokes? Miss Mei should know to be forgiving and forgiving. He said.

Liang Chengzu didn't say the sentence "It depends on the owner to beat the dog", he didn't believe that Miss Mei didn't know, he didn't care about it at all, and blindly made enemies for himself.

"Okay, just according to what Liang Gongzi said. Qiu Lin, pull him out and hit ten boards. Ruoxue said calmly.

Mei Zhigao opened his mouth to argue a few more sentences, and fought for his younger brother to beat that little guy a few more times, so as to give his brother an angry outlet, but Tao Zhe pulled his sleeve again.

Tao Zhe said with his mouth: "The prefect's family, I can't afford to provoke it." ”

Mei Zhigao saw it and closed his mouth.

Qiu Lin agreed, and personally went up to pull the little guy up and dragged him to the open space outside, the little guy twisted his body all the way, and shouted in his mouth to let Qiu Lin let go of him, although he was inevitably beaten, but he didn't want to be dragged away obediently.

Qiu Lin stood in the hall and listened for a while, knowing that the eldest lady really wanted to beat the prefect's house to vent her anger to the young master, so she didn't signal the two subordinates who played the board to show mercy.

also secretly made a gesture of seven, so that the two family members used seventy percent of their strength.

Someone had already placed a bench and a bundle of rope in the yard.

The two servants pressed the little servant to a bench and tied him with ropes, so that he would not be beaten and rolled down in a moment.

The two of them stood left and right, picked up the board and said to the little guy, "Grit your teeth, don't bite your tongue off for a while." ”

The little guy's eyes were rolling in his sockets, and he turned his head to stare in horror at the long sticks in the hands of the two people on the left and right.

"One."

With a thud, a board hit the little guy's buttocks, and he howled like a pig.

Liang Rui saw his little servant being dragged out, jumped down from the chair and chased him to the door to take a look, as soon as the board went down, there was a scream, he was frightened, rushed into the house, and ran over to see it unwillingly.

"Two!"

Another scream came into the hall, and it seemed to get a lot louder.

Liang Chengzu saw that Liang Rui was standing at the threshold and looked unpresentable, so he shouted for him to come in and sit down, while he picked up the teacup and drank it slowly, waiting for ten beatings to finish before saying goodbye and going back.

"Three!"

The outside fight is not fast, and there is a time pause for three sucks every time you hit, but even so, it will be over in less than ten strokes.

Liang Chengzu heard that the ten beatings were over, put down the teacup and got up, and said, "There are still things at home, so we won't bother and say goodbye." ”

Ruoxue also stood up, looked at Mei Zhengli and said, "Send Liang Gongzi out." ”

"Yes."

Mei Zhengli agreed, stretched out her hand to invite, "Liang Gongzi, please." ”

The little guy came on foot when he came, and was carried back when he left.

The next day, Ruoxue booked a private room in Honghu Pavilion, set up a good table table, invited the two witnesses who had gambled at the beginning, Ding Maolin and Fu Chunshan, and invited Duan Jie and Huang Bingshan to come.

Huang Bingshan was sick and couldn't come in bed, so Huang Ji came instead of his father.

In front of Ding Maolin and Fu Chunshan, Ruoxue, Duan Jie, and Huang Ji took out the gambling contract and incinerated it on the candle flame.

That night, Huang Bingshan died of a serious illness.

After August 15, Ruoxue sent two cooks and one steward to the capital and Jinan Mansion in Shandong.

The boiled fish restaurant in Beijing did not open until October, but the restaurant in Jinan opened its doors in September and a half.

On the second day of Huang Bingshan's death, Li Tao returned Huang Bingshan's remaining silver ticket to his place, 450,000 taels, to the Huang family.

The next day, Li Tao went to Mei's house to congratulate, and the little master of the Mei family washed three. The next day, Li Tao took his grandmother north by boat back to the capital.

Two days later, Duan Jie found a ship, brought a silver ticket to Ruoxueti's four thousand brocade goods, and asked the Mei family's dart bureau to send someone to the capital with the ship.

After Aunt Zhou's confinement, she came to the house where Tian lived that day, knelt down in front of Tian, kowtowed to Tian, and said, "Rose begs Mrs. to be fulfilled!" ”

Seeing that she was so busy asking someone to help her up, Tian said in a loud voice: "What is this for?" Hurry up and talk about something. It's cold on the ground, and you've just come out of confinement and be careful of the cold. ”

Ziyun went up to pull Aunt Zhou, she pushed Ziyun's hand aside, "Mrs. promised me, and I got up." She said.

"Okay, you say, I'll promise you."

Tian felt that something bad was about to happen, so he asked the maid to go find Ruoxue quickly.

The maid Zifeng received Tian's gaze and turned around to go out to find someone.

Aunt Zhou didn't pay attention to it when she saw it, walked two steps to Tian's side, grabbed Tian's knee, and said something that made Tian stunned for a while, "Madam, you are doing well, for the sake of me giving birth to a young master to the Mei family, let me go out of the house, I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to get married." She said.

Tian looked at her stunned for a long time before he said incoherently: "You want to marry?" Who do you want to marry? You...... Did you give birth to a child who didn't care? He's still so young, you can't bear to ......"

"There's a wife, you! And the eldest lady, the little master will not be wronged. She said.
