Chapter 186: The Disaster of the Zhuo Family
Although Yang Shu is a slave of the Zhuo family, he was not born in the Zhuo family, he is a child picked up by the old lady of the Zhuo family from outside, because he is the same age as Zhuo's father, he also worked as a scholar of Axiu's father when he was a child.
The two ate and lived together at the beginning, and the relationship was extraordinary, and later Zhuo's father inherited the family business, and Yang Shu became the chief steward.
Before there was no dream, Ah Xiu was angry when he heard that he disappeared with a needle score, thinking that the Zhuo family had a life-saving grace for him, and his father was very kind to him when he was there, and he co-authored a white-eyed wolf.
But with that dream, Ah Xiu knew that this person had his own thoughts, and he was protecting the only remaining soul treasure of the Zhuo family.
The old monk in the small temple drove Yang Shu out to guard the door, and he began to wipe his tears and tell the situation when he knelt on the ground.
"Miss, since the old man brought someone to hand over the goods in Beijing that year, the next half a year has become a little strange, not only let me sort out the account books, but also sold a lot of family property. At that time, I asked the master if there was something to deal with, but the master didn't say anything, and sighed vigorously. And the eldest son, miss, you also know, are discussing marriage with the Fan family in Beijing. ”
"At that time, I thought it was the lion of the Fan family who opened his mouth, and all that money was a dowry for the Fan family, how could I have thought about ......it?"
The Fan family is a meritorious family, although it has fallen down, it has the title of Earl of Yongchang.
The Fan family wants the Zhuo family's silver to rejuvenate the family, and the Zhuo family needs an in-law to improve their status in order to stabilize the business in the Shangjing area.
The Fan family pushed a concubine out to discuss marriage with the Zhuo family, although the Zhuo family was a little dissatisfied, but after meeting someone, they felt that the girl was good, so they should go.
At that time, the old man's abnormality confused everyone's audio-visual, and Yang Shu also felt that he was preparing for a dowry, and he was still a little angry in private, feeling that the Fan family was too thick-skinned and had such a big appetite.
However, the money was not delivered to Shangjing at all, and the group encountered bandits on the way.
The companion master, the second son, and the carefully selected guards of the Zhuo family all died tragically, and the eldest son, who had been taking care of business in Beijing and waiting for the relatives, also encountered an accident, and was unintentionally involved in the fight between the little prince of Jin and the eighth prince in the restaurant, and fell from the upper floor to his death.
The Zhuo family Ding is not prosperous, and the men are all dead for a while, but this is not enough, the funeral in the house has not been completed, and someone came to the door with an IOU, asking for nearly 300,000 taels of silver, saying that it was owed before the old man passed away.
In black and white, there are also private prints.
At that time, in addition to the industry, the family also had money, so I had no choice but to take it from the embroidery workshop as an ancestral property.
The once glorious Zhuo family collapsed, the embroidery girl flowed out, and the shopkeeper was different.
It was then that Yang Shu arranged for his wife and children to leave, and he disappeared without a trace.
The Zhuo family was in chaos, and no one cared too much about him, only to find out afterwards that the needle score was lost, and after some inquiry, I learned that it was done by Steward Yang.
"Miss, Yang Shu doesn't have a greedy heart, but he just doesn't want his ancestral business to fall into the hands of others. In order to get this ancestral genealogy, the He family spent a lot of money and did not hesitate to borrow money to buy our embroidery workshop, just to get our set of needles that were not passed on. This can't be helped, this can't be helped, the needle spectrum is the soul treasure of the Zhuo family, the hope of the master......"
Steward Yang muttered in his mouth, and his expression changed from the original anger to a little trance.
He climbed under the desk next to him, and under the cover of the rags, he found a small burden out of nowhere, and quickly took out the carved mahogany box inside and handed it to Ah Zhangxiu.
This box Ah Xiu naturally recognized, she took out a small copper-colored key from the cuff, and with a click, the secret lock of the box was opened.
stole this thing, but Steward Yang did not destroy the box to look at the needle score inside, which shows that he really has no intention of stealing.
Ah Xiu sighed secretly and said to Du's mother, "Help Steward Yang up." ”
"Yes."
Du's mother stepped forward and helped Steward Yang, who still had tears on her face, up.
He knelt for too long, and his knees still hurt, so Du Juan lifted Zhang Pomuwu and asked him to sit down slowly.
This person seems to have his own attachment to something, Ah Xiu thinks that if he doesn't take away the needle book, this needle book will undoubtedly fall into the He family, but will the mother still die in that case?
She didn't know that maybe that thing couldn't be changed, or maybe she would live a few more years.
But it has come to this, there is no possibility, everything has happened.
"Miss, what's going on in the house now? How is Madame? Is there any residual family business? ”
Yang Shu still has hope in his heart, thinking that the young lady said that he wants to make a career before, there is a raging fire burning in his chest, as long as the needle spectrum is still there, it is only a matter of time before the Zhuo family is revived.
Yang Shu left early, and he didn't know that his wife had passed away, and in his memory, his wife took the young lady to prepare to go to the He family.
When it came to her mother, Ah Xiu was silent, and Mother Du on the side said with red eyes: "Steward Yang, Mrs. has passed away." ”
"What? Why ......"
The poplar froze, and after the shock, the person became agitated again.
"Miss, is it the He family, is it the He family that has done something?"
Madame and the second lady of the He family were originally sisters, and the relationship was quite deep, Yang Shu thought that the young lady might still be attached to the He family, and stared at the box in Ah Xiu's hand and his eyes became very fierce.
He can't let the needle book person fall into the hands of others, except for the Zhuo family, no one.
"Steward Yang, it's just me here."
Ah Xiu looked at his rapidly changing eyes and opened his mouth to explain.
Yang Shu calmed down and arched his hand: "Miss, the He family is very suspicious in that matter. He Jingcheng, the fourth master of the He family, made a special trip to find the master several times when he was in Beijing, and the villain didn't know what was going on, but after that, the master became preoccupied, and when he returned to Linjiang, he began to make money to sell his property. ”
"Then He Jingcheng must know something, or maybe he participated in something."
Ah Xiu nodded, "When the Zhuo family was in trouble, that person did participate in it. ”
"Miss, you know? Did those people do anything to you? ”
Yang Shu was a little stunned when she heard this, wondering if the young lady had already left the He family, or if she knew in her heart that her face with the He family had not been broken, and she still maintained a superficial relationship.
Steward Yang has been away for too long, and then he has been exiled to this kind of uninhabited deep mountains and old forests, and he has long lost contact with the outside world.
Ah Xiu shook her head lightly, "I will discuss this matter with you slowly, and now Steward Yang will go down the mountain with me, I have been absent from the He family for a long time, and now I am starting to rebuild the Zhuo family's family business, and I need the assistance of Steward Yang." ”
"But by the Miss."
On this day, the small temple people on the mountain behind Tang Village went to the empty building, the blind fortune teller and the old monk disappeared, some people said that the two were still vulgar, and some people said that the blind fortune teller was a capable person, and in the past two years, the old monk took good care of his eyes, and took him down the mountain to enjoy the blessings.
