Chapter 144: Silver Ingots
The master's mother's words made Aunt Duan stunned, and she couldn't get angry anymore, and she wanted to defend but couldn't speak.
"This is used by outsiders to come to your aunt to buy news." Rong Changning raised the silver ingot in his hand and put it heavily on the desk: "I only shared the room with the Hou Ye a while ago, and everyone outside the mansion will know about it the next day." What kind of wind should I have blown it, it was you, aunt. ”
Aunt Duan opened her eyes to look at Rong Changning, and everything was exposed, and the so-called 'righteousness' also became a 'loss'. But even if he knew that he was wrong, he still tried his best to defend himself with luck: "Master, the slave and the maid are wronged, and the slave and the maid have been in this house for more than 20 years...... You can't slander a slave just by the money she has saved! ”
"Presumptuous!" Xiao Dong shouted: "Are you saying that the housemother doesn't distinguish between right and wrong?" Wronged you? ”
Rong Changning waved his hand to silence Xiao Dong: "Just because my aunt has been in the house for so many days, my aunt must have saved a lot of family property in the past 20 years, right?" ”
"The master and mother are above, and the slave and maid are really wronged!"
"Talking about evidence, I can't just wronged you with empty mouths and white teeth, just give you an understanding." Saying that, Rong Changning raised his chin: "Xiaodong." ”
"Yes." Xiao Dong understood, picked up the silver ingot on the desk and walked to Aunt Duan to show her the mark engraved on the silver ingot......
The house has been churned for so long, and the voice has already reached Mrs. Yingguo's courtyard, and Bai Lu, the aunt of the third room, is drinking tea with her, and she doesn't know what the new niece and daughter-in-law are tossing.
Mrs. Ying Guo asked someone to go out to investigate, Bai Lu shook his head and sighed, holding his red sleeves: "The bride is different when she enters the door, and everyone in the house is popular." Add another child next year, and the aunt will be really lively. ”
"Well, that's what I hoped. Even if he's Miss Childe, add a few, and I'll always be able to close my eyes. ”
"The good days have just begun, look at the aunt's words so badly?" Bai Lu's body leaned forward slightly, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he lowered his voice and said: "Speaking of which, the long house is the only seedling of Ah Yi, and the matter of extending the heir is the most important thing. Now that they are married, they will take in more people to serve them, and find some good ......."
Mrs. Ying Guo pondered for a while, and replied with a smile: "I just got married, so this matter is not in a hurry." ”
Seeing that people and grandmothers were talking like this, Bai Lu's family didn't want to say anything more, so he quickly changed his tone: "It's true, it's always good to say and not sound good when it reaches the Baining Marquis Mansion, so it's better to wait." When the housewife is pregnant, she is thinking about picking a few good houses to serve, and it is always reasonable. The people in the long house are thriving, and the eldest aunt is relieved, isn't it? Ah Yi has grown so big, and now he is so promising, and I, as an aunt, am also very pleased, and I just hope that he is well. ”
"There are some things, but I still can't rush them. The two of them were still young, and they told themselves to toss and toss more. If Ah Yi himself is unwilling,"
As she was talking, Mrs. Yingguo's Aunt Qin went out to inquire about the news and came back, her steps were hurried, as if something big had happened, she stood firm and hurried back: "Old lady, the person in front said that the green jade cup that the main mother married was lost, and it was called Souyuan." ”
"Lost something? Then search and search. Mrs. Ying Guo shook the scroll in her hand: "Did you find it?" ”
"No, I found two silver ingots in the cabinet of Aunt Duan, the manager of Zhuyuan."
As soon as he heard that it was Aunt Duan, Bai Lu couldn't help but raise his eyes: "Aunt Duan has been in the house for many years, and it shouldn't be surprising that she saved two silver ingots." ”
"That's what I said, but the silver ingot came from the Marquis of Baining's mansion. It was the prince of the Baining Hou Mansion and our uncle who asked people to make a mark on it. The housewife knew that there was someone in our house to sell the news, so she asked her uncle to buy the news with the silver, and then she kept sending people to follow the vine to touch the melon, and as soon as the silver entered our house, she called someone to inform the housewife, and the housemother called the search from the bamboo garden. There was no green jade cup at all, it was just an excuse that I thought of for fear that it would be more troublesome to find it. ”
Bai Lushi immediately couldn't sit still, slapped one hand on the ebony case, grabbed the corner of the case and raised his eyes and asked, "Is someone planting it?" ”
"It was Aunt Duan who sold the news from the house to Yue's Mansion and sold it to Hexing Building...... The housewife also found a little girl who married silver for Aunt Duan and confronted the tooth man who was talking back and forth, that is, Aunt Duan was right! ”
After Aunt Qin finished speaking, Mrs. Ying Guo's expression was indifferent and not surprised at all, as if she had guessed it a long time ago. On the contrary, Bai Lu's family couldn't sit still anymore, so he picked up the fan and was helped by the maid to go to the bamboo garden.
She was amazed by Aunt Duan's actions, and even more amazed at Rong Changning's methods. No matter how you look at it, Aunt Duan's hand-made business should have taken a lot of time, and Rong Changning found it out as soon as she arrived at the house, and it was so easy.
This couldn't help but make Bai Lu Gao glance at Rong Changning, this nephew and daughter-in-law are afraid that they are not as casual and indifferent as they appear.
If Bai Chuxi can't hold her, looking at the entire Bai Mansion and the entire Bai clan, I'm afraid that no one will be able to hold her.
Quickly walked to the bamboo garden, no one passed at the door, and Bai Lu's clan rushed in like this, and saw Aunt Duan kneeling on the ground without saying a word: "Bastard!" ”
As soon as Rong Changning raised his eyebrows, he saw that Bai Lu's family was angry and pointed at Aunt Duan: "My face has been lost to you!" ”
Xiao Dong came over and helped Rong Changning to walk down the corridor, and before he could stand firmly, Bai Lu grabbed Rong Changning's hand: "Changning, it's my aunt who can't stand you." This aunt was originally a distant relative of my family, and she has never made any major mistakes in Baifu for more than 20 years, I don't know if it was lard or a stupid worm who did such a ridiculous thing! As soon as the housewife entered the door, she disturbed the house so much, and in the end, I did something wrong. ”56
She scolded as if she had committed some heinous crime, and looked back at Rong Changning as she spoke: "Changning, don't look at your aunt's face, just do what you want." ”
Rong Changning breathed a sigh of relief, recalling that in the past few days, Aunt Duan's arrogant and unbridled appearance in private is now bold, if she doesn't leave, she can't live in this courtyard with peace of mind.
Remembering the dignity that Mrs. Ying Guo had told her to keep for the Bai Lu clan before, Rong Changning replied: "This is a family ugly, but my aunt is not an outsider...... Since it was a distant relative of the aunt, it was brought back by the aunt. I will warn the people in the courtyard to keep their mouths shut, and if they can't control it, they will change the batch. ”
"......" The corners of Bai Lu's mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something but could only swallow the words back, and he muttered for a long time before he asked in a low voice: "After all, all the people in the house are old people, so if you change it rashly, I'm afraid it will hurt people's hearts, right?" ”
She kindly reminded her, but people couldn't help but be vigilant when they heard it, Rong Changning pretended to be worried and replied: "But this is also a helpless thing." is also the nephew and daughter-in-law is incompetent, if there are subordinates who rely on their seniority and act arbitrarily, how do you say the nephew and daughter-in-law have to be disciplined? Grandmother is old, she can't make such a noise every day that her old man can't be clean, and it's a hundred to send her away, don't you say? ”
A few short words, with a gentle but irresistible tone, asked all the elders of the Bai Lu clan to talk back.
On Rong Changning's body, Bai Lu's family knew that he couldn't get a bargain, so he had to nod: "People, my aunt won't take it back, the master mother has educated people, what is the matter for me to intervene as an outsider?" ”
"This man's aunt must take it back! If I do it casually, I am afraid that my grandmother will say that I am not sensible. My aunt should love her nephew and share her worries for her nephew, right? Saying that, Rong Changning breathed a sigh of relief, shook the fan twice, paced to Bai Lu's side and whispered: "If it's someone else, forget it, Aunt Duan is also the nurse of the Hou Ye, and the nephew and daughter-in-law are not good enough to send it away...... Or the nephew and daughter-in-law wait for the Hou Ye to come back and ask the Hou Ye before deciding? ”
It is not a trivial matter to sell the news of the inner house to outsiders, even if Bai Chuxi cares about her kindness, he will not spare her. In Bai Lu's opinion, Rong Changning is just a newcomer who is timid, although he has a skill, he is not tough enough, maybe he is easy to woo. Now that she sells favors to herself, why don't she just accept it?
Rong Changning followed up and said: "Master Hou's temper, my aunt should know better than me, and she will be dizzy when she knows it." ”
"Okay, that aunt will bring it back, but I have to give an explanation when I bring it back."
Rong Changning covered his face with a fan and whispered: "This is my aunt's distant relative, just send it home." Hou Ye came back and said a few vague words. ”
Bai Lu's frowning frowned when he heard this, and he took Rong Changning's hand and patted it twice: "It's also difficult for you to take care of me, it's really embarrassing for my aunt." ”
I saw Rong Changning's rare hook of the corners of his mouth: "A family doesn't talk about two families." ”
Bai Lu's eyes were full of relief: "Good boy, this affection, my aunt has written it down." ”
After saying that, Bai Lushi turned around and glared at Aunt Duan on the ground: "What are you doing in a daze?" Have you ever thanked the mistress?! ”
Aunt Duan raised her eyes, never expecting that it would be planted in the hands of an eighteen-year-old girl. Although he was reluctant and unwilling, he couldn't say anything else, kneeling in front of Rong Changning's feet: "Thank you for your great kindness, slave and maid ......"
"I don't have any kindness to you, it's all for my aunt's sake, I'll spare you. From now on, you can do it yourself. ”
Rong Changning's words made Aunt Duan on the ground speechless for a while, and Bai Lushi hurriedly said: "Then I will take someone back." ”
"Auntie walks slowly." Saying that, Rong Changning bowed his head lightly and sent Bai Lu's family out with people.
Waiting for the person to go away, Rong Changning slowly raised his head, put down the corners of his mouth that had just been raised, and the bottom of his eyes were full of indifference, and he was the same as just now.
Aunt Xiaodong and Aunt Xiaoqiulin all know that this is the real Rong Changning.
"Aunt Lin." Rong Changning called lightly, and Aunt Lin walked up to Rong Changning: "Mastermother." ”
"In the future, you will be the only one in charge of this bamboo garden. Tell your subordinates to keep their mouths in check. ”
"Yes."
"If anyone in the house does not control his mouth, he will be killed with a rod in public. I found Bai Lu's eyeliner in our long room again, poisoned. ”
Aunt Lin lowered her head: "Yes." ”
Now Rong Changning has discovered what it means that Mrs. Ying Guo always keeps half of her words and half of them. It turns out that this house has never been clean, and there have always been people secretly thinking about it.
