Chapter 25: The Buddha Statue Incident (2)
Zhang Cengzhen looked at Jiang Congwen who was angry, pinched Jiang Congwen's shoulder, and said distressedly: "Who provoked the old man to be so angry."
Feeling Zhang Cen Zhen's soft and boneless little hand pressing on his shoulder, Jiang Congwen's mood finally improved, "You still know that you feel sorry for me." But now is not the time for the ape, so Jiang Congwen just patted Zhang Cenzhen's hand, continued to look at the people below, and said again about the problem he found with the Buddha statue today, and then said: "Who did this matter, you know it yourself, do you want me to find you out one by one, or do you take the initiative to stand up."
Zhang Cen Zhen shouted softly, "Master." Then he said: "Recently, the ancestral hall has been managed by my sister, and the lord should ask my sister about this matter, maybe my sister will know better."
Jiang Congwen also reacted, and looked at Wang Rubi, because Wang Rubi had been more in her eyes recently, so she said to Wang Rubi's tone was quite good, and said, "What do you have to say."
Wang Rubi secretly scolded Zhang Cen Zhen in her heart, then stood up and saluted Jiang Congwen, and then said: "The concubine is only assisting my sister's person in charge of the affairs of the house, and she has only assisted for a month. After Wang Rubi finished speaking, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice.
Jiang Wan asked worriedly, "Auntie, are you okay?"
Wang Rubi patted Jiang Wan's head soothingly and said, "Auntie is fine."
Jiang Wan bit her lip, pretending to be scared but very worried for her mother, and said to Jiang Congwen: "Daddy, my aunt's body has not been very good, and she can't stand ...... for a long time."
Jiang Congwen asked Jiang Wan to help Wang Rubi sit back.
After Wang Rubi sat down, she said: "My sister has been in charge of the house for more than ten years, and my sister has always been responsible for the repair of the ancestral hall and the Buddha statue, so my sister must be ...... about this matter."
"What does my sister mean by this, this is a suspicion of my sister?"
"How dare my sister, my sister is just telling the truth."
Jiang Congwen was anxious because of the fire in the ancestral hall, and then found that there was a lot of money hidden in the Buddha statue, and he was already anxious and angry, maybe this matter was an early warning from the ancestors, and now these two women are arguing here again, Jiang Congwen waved his hand impatiently and said that this matter will be discussed tomorrow, and let everyone go back first.
Jiang Yu and the three of them returned to Lanyue Pavilion, and Qing He, who had been waiting in the courtyard, had bright eyes, so he stepped forward and took Jiang Yu's hand and said, "Miss, you are back."
Qingping relayed what happened in the ancestral hall to Qing He, causing Qing He to suddenly regret and say: "I have let my sister watch all the good shows, sister, you are still here to worry about me."
Qingping scratched Qinghe's nose and said, "You like to watch dramas as much as you do, we are going to do business, and taking you there may delay Miss's business."
Qing He pouted, but did not refute again.
Jiang Yu looked at Qinghe with her head down, and said, "I'll take you there tomorrow morning."
"Really?" Qinghe looked at Jiang Yu happily and said, "I know that Miss is the best."
The lime snickered for a long time.
Finally got down to business, Qingping said: "The appointment held by the Wang family is the idea of killing two birds with one stone, and I want to catch Miss and Zhang's all in one go, so I let Miss go to send the candlestick, but fortunately, Miss is clever and let us burn the ancestral hall."
Lime Qinghe also nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yu took a sip of tea and said, "Qingping is right, Wang Rubi has been planning for a long time, but Zhang Cengzhen is really going to plant it this time."
After Wang Rubi returned to the courtyard, she did not rush to rest, but sat at the table, as if waiting for someone.
After a while, the maid came to report that Zhang Cen Zhen was here.
Wang Rubi asked the maid to treat people directly, and poured a glass of water for herself and Zhang Cenzhen.
After Zhang Cenzhen sat down, he said with a smile: "How can my sister come to me at this time?"
Zhang Cen Zhen took a deep breath, although she hated Wang Rubi very much in her heart, but she couldn't show the slightest on her face, and said gently: "My sister said that I laughed, I have served the master with my sister for more than ten years, and my sister is closer than my sister, and now I miss my sister, so I want to come and say something considerate to my sister."
"Sister's words sister don't dare to be, I was in decay a few years ago, and I have been recuperating in a partial hospital, and now I have only been serving my lord for more than a month, but I don't dare to call myself my sister's sister." Wang Rubi's face was full of uncertainty, "Moreover, I have been serving the master for more than a month, and my sister is no longer there." ”
Zhang Cenzhen almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth, and said with a smile: "My sister really likes to joke."
Wang Rubi: "I don't dare to joke with my sister."
Zhang Cenzhen saw that Wang Rubi was unfamiliar with her in and out of her words, she was angry but couldn't show it directly, took the tea poured by Wang Rubi, suppressed her anger, and then continued: "Actually, my sister came to my sister today because I wanted my sister to help, as long as my sister helped me this time, my sister's great kindness, I Zhang Cenzhen will never forget."
Wang Rubi said in surprise: "Sister, where is this, my sister has lived in the deep courtyard for a long time, I'm afraid I can't help my sister even if I want to."
Zhang Cen Zhen really couldn't bear it this time, but as soon as she slammed the cup on the ground, she reacted and said to Wang Rubi: "My sister just missed for a while and broke my sister's things, and I hope my sister won't blame."
Wang Rubi didn't care about calling his subordinates to clean up the mess, and sneered at Zhang Cen Zhen in her heart, she was about to become a water dog, and she dared to be so arrogant.
After the next person left, when only Wang Rubi and Zhang Cenzhen were left in the room again, Zhang Cenzhen didn't talk nonsense this time, and went straight to the point: "The matter of the Buddha statue is your hand."
Wang Rubi: "I don't understand what my sister means."
Zhang Cengzhen said: "As long as you promise to help me this time, you can let me do whatever I want in the future."
Wang Rubi's face was full of embarrassment: "But this matter is taken to heart, and my sister is powerless even if she wants to help."
"Say what you want." If it weren't for the fact that she had her own handle in her hands, why would she be so angry.
After Zhang Cen Zhen left, the maid who had been hiding behind the screen came out and asked Wang Rubi: "Madam, do you really want to help that Zhang?"
"How is that possible?"
Although she is an aunt on the surface, Wang Rubi has always liked others to call her Mrs. in private.
