After sitting in the big room for a while, I asked my aunt to leave. Sure enough, only Ping'er was busy in the small yard.

"Miss, I have someone to help bring the wood to Aunt May's carriage. Aunt Mei asked me to tell you, don't be in a hurry, I'll send it to you when the piano is ready."

"Well, I see. Ping'er will go to the warehouse tomorrow to get me some water-patterned paper, and I want to learn to paint."

The Pingyang Hou Mansion has been very quiet in recent days. The eldest aunt is busy with the marriage of the second sister every day, and I heard that Yu James is going to give a note on New Year's Day, and now the marriage of her son is on the agenda.

In the second room, Qi received a letter from her eldest sister Ruyan, saying that she was pregnant and wanted to ask her mother to visit her. The Qi family was mistaken, thinking that their daughter had been humiliated, so they moved their luggage and went to live in Zuo Shilang's mansion for a long time. Liu Changgui couldn't persuade her, so she had to go. It just so happened that his new favorite little slave Jiaojiao missed him tightly, and he had to meet every day, but he had a chance.

"Grandmother, I heard from Granny Yan that you have a headache again recently, but please ask the imperial doctor to take a look."

"You three girls have a heart, and they came to see me, I took a handwritten note to ask for it, or those few squares, it's an old problem, it's good to get through this season"

Rutong, Ruzhu, and Rumeng came to the room early in the morning, and saw the old lady leaning listlessly on the bed. Presumably it was tuberculosis that month, and it recurs at this time of year.

"Why don't you see Danzhu? What has this kid been up to lately? I heard that the nursing home said that he always runs to the street."

The three of them looked at each other, Rutong was in the west courtyard, not knowing the movement of the second room. Ruzhu hides tightly every day.

"Back to my grandmother, we don't know, yesterday my mother had someone tailor-made winter clothes for her, and I didn't see anyone when I went to the yard."

If you dream that the two of you are speechless, you have no choice but to step forward and answer.

"This child, how could he be so wild, following her grandmother's temperament. A few of you even go shopping with her, don't always go out alone."

"Yes, my granddaughter knows."

Just as Rutong and Ruzhu had just responded to the old lady's words, Granny Yan hurriedly entered the inner room. Whispered in the old lady's ear.

"Okay, please go back after peace, the weather is getting colder and colder, pay attention to adding or subtracting clothes, and go to the warehouse to get anything you need, don't be restrained"

They said goodbye to their grandmother and went out of the upper room.

"Fourth sister, did you say that Granny Yan was hiding something from the three of us just now?"

"Second sister, I don't know this, if you don't tell us, it must be something that can't be heard, don't listen."

"No, I'm curious, you can go to Aunt Liu's to inquire later"

"Second sister, you are about to get married, how can you still be like this, if the eldest aunt knows about it, she will punish you again"

Ruzhu saw that Rutong was going to make trouble again, and came forward to stop it.

"That's it, I'm going to ask you to go by yourself, and the third sister and I will go back to the room first."

Rutong looked at the backs of the two of them without looking back, stomped their feet and ran away.

The three of them didn't know, there was no need to inquire, the matter was in an uproar on the second day, and the entire Pingyang Hou Mansion was spread.

It turned out that since returning home during the last moon festival, Bi Danzhu has been going to the street every day. The nurse who followed said that Miss Biao seemed to be looking for someone, and when she saw that the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were going to go up to take a look, most of them returned disappointed, only twice, and walked up to talk to a leader, but they all saw that the other party avoided it.

Liu's nursing home came back and described: "Today, Miss Biao first went to the roadside wine shop to find someone, and then there were a few scoundrels who followed them, and after Miss asked him to give a letter to the people of the Terracotta Division, he got rid of him and disappeared, afraid that something big would happen and he couldn't take care of it, so he went back to the house to report, the old man was not in the house, and the eldest lady and the second lady were not there, so I didn't have an idea, so I reported to the old lady." ”

The old lady was helpless, this Bi Danzhu acted arbitrarily like her grandmother. Now I don't know if it fell into the hands of the gangsters or where it was trapped.

"Mrs. Yan, go quickly, find someone to ask the Soldiers and Horses Division, what is the letter sent by Miss Table today, who is it handed over, don't delay, go and return quickly"

As soon as Granny Yan walked out, she came back. Holding a letterhead in his hand.

"Asked you to go to the Terracotta Division, why did you come back so quickly?"

The old lady held her head and closed her eyes and asked.

"Back to the old lady, the old slave walked to the gatehouse, Uncle Liu said that a young man had just sent a letter, and the slave was afraid that it was about Miss Cousin, so he quickly brought it back to you for reference."

"Hurry up, I'll see"

The old lady was furious when she read the letter. The letter said that Bi Danzhu was captured by bandits on the outskirts of the city, and asked Fang Yujiang, the deputy commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division, to go to redeem him.

From this point of view, how can there be such a stupid thief, even if the captives ask for silver taels, they must have sent a letter to that person's house. There is no reason to send a letter to a strange man. Besides, this man is still a man of the government.

Presumably it was from Miss Watch. I can't ignore it, after all, a good girl with a few scoundrels will also ruin her reputation.

"Mrs. Yan, quickly, take my slip to the prefect's mansion, and let Lord Lin go to find someone quickly, and say that the old man will be thanked afterwards."

"The old slave will go, the old lady is not in a hurry, she is in a hurry"

"Go quickly, can I not be in a hurry, if this girl has a bad reputation in Liu's mansion, the mansion will not be peaceful in the future"

Granny Yan sighed, turned around and went to run errands.

At sunset, the old lady sat in the main hall, wearing a forehead given by the day of the dream, and the Buddhist beads in her hand kept turning with the scriptures in her mouth.

"Old lady, back, back"

"What about people, is it okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry, the old slave has been placed back in the smoke-like yard, but he was frightened"

"Wasn't that villain hired by her? Why are you still frightened? Can Lord Lin say the whole story? ”

"My old lady, the person was sent back by the Terracotta Division, and Lord Lin is still looking for someone outside the city."

"Why is the Terracotta Division involved in this matter?"

"Old lady, the old slave doesn't know very well. The Terracotta Division sent back not only Miss Biao, but also the second master. ”

"How can there be anything about Chang'er, I am more and more confused. Where is Chang'er, look for him to come to my room. ”

"The second master went back to the room, and I heard that he was arguing with the second lady, and the girl's courtyard heard it."

"Nonsense, I'm old, I don't care about my face, I called both of them and my wife, you stop by and find the boss too, it's really more and more unruly in this house"

The second old man Liu Chang entered his mother's yard, and when he saw that his mother was very angry, he knelt down without saying a word, and the second lady Qi sat on the chair and cried.

The eldest lord didn't have time to take off his official uniform, so he hurried over.

"You know that you have done something wrong, and you will be punished first. What happened today, you can tell me in detail. ”

The old lady's ups and downs today made her headache worse, and she had no choice but to look at this unsuccessful second son.

"Mother don't worry, be careful if you hurt your body, that's what my son said."

It turned out that on this day, the second master went to the Zhan Shifu Bureau of Economic Affairs after freshening up in the morning, and went to the Red Sleeve Building at noon to find his little slave. stayed until sunset, thinking that if he didn't go home, he would be known by Qi's eyeliner, so he found a flaw, so he got up and got dressed and went out.

I didn't know that when I passed by the door next to the room, I saw three men entering the dark incense room together, so I felt strange. How did this red-sleeved building come up with a new style? But I don't know it?

Hunting for curiosity, he tiptoed to the door to eavesdrop, but the door was not pin in the door, and he rushed in.

I saw the three people sitting at the table, and a woman lying on the couch with their backs to each other. Seeing this, the three of them had a quarrel with the second master, and the owner of the red-sleeved building saw that Pingyang Hou's younger brother was beaten, and went to the street to pull the patrolling soldiers and horses to stop it.

With this farce, the people of the Terracotta Division discovered that the gang of thieves had kidnapped a girl and were studying how to ransom the silver. The matter was very big, and the deputy commander Fang Yujiang was called.

Now the excitement started, Pingyang Hou's younger brother went to the kiln and found the abducted cousin and niece, who was sent back neatly by the official family.

And the Qi family heard that Bi Danzhu had an accident, and after hurrying back to the house, he learned about her husband's ugly affairs. Unwilling to relent, the two spread their hands and feet.

The old lady probably understands the matter, but there is one thing that is not clear, those villains should be the people hired by the cousin, why did they make her suffer some grievances instead of violence? It seems that this matter will have to be asked to her in person at a later date. But outsiders must not know that this is a farce arranged by Bi Danzhu himself. Otherwise, the girl of Pingyang Houfu may have no future.

The fourth aunt and grandmother arrived at the Hou Mansion on the fourth day after the accident. At this time, Lai was in the old lady's room and refused to come out.

"Sister-in-law, that day, I asked you to help us find a decent family to marry, and you should not or refuse. If it weren't for your unclear attitude, how could Zhu'er find it herself?"

"Shut up, that's what your Bi family's tutor is like? The girl didn't wait for the elders to make the decision, so she went to the street to pull in a hurry? I didn't know that the girl who went out of the Hou Mansion taught some of the style of the land of hooking. ”

"What my sister-in-law said is also a little ugly, now that things are like this, what should you do if you call us Zhu'er? I beg my sister-in-law to help us this time for my eldest brother's sake, and I will definitely not forget my sister-in-law's kindness in the future."

"You don't want to be embarrassed, don't you want the entire Hou Mansion? Do you know how to comment on the streets and alleys now, just say that Miss Biao of the Pingyang Hou Mansion has taken a fancy to the little deputy conductor and wants to make the family rich?"

"That's not just right, we invited the matchmaker to go to that person's house at this time to propose, as long as Zhu'er likes it, I don't care if he doesn't have a lot of fame"

"Sew up your mouth, that's nonsense. Not to mention the matter of proposing, there has never been a woman chasing a man, even the deputy commander of the Terracotta Division is not something your family can think of. Do you know who Fang Jiang is? ”

"It's just the Terracotta Division, it's just the Ministry of War, Yi'er always has a little thin face outside, and it must not be difficult to marry."

"Stupid, that's the prince's person, the Terracotta Division is just a springboard for him to make achievements, do you think his marriage is under the influence of you and me?"

"Sister-in-law, what should I do, Zhu'er hasn't thought about tea and dinner recently, so I beg me to think of a way, you can help us!"

"You go back to the room quickly, the noise gives me a headache, let me think about it, do your best to obey the fate of God, you also made plans early, it is best to find a marriage that is the right family"

The fourth aunt and grandmother went out of the upper room and secretly speculated that Liu Zhu would not be in charge of her pearls, and it seemed that she had to think of some ways by herself. I didn't know the origin of this surname Fang before, and I felt that he was still deficient in matching beads, but now it seems that with the prince, it is bound to succeed.

I don't have a clue for a while, let's go to Zhu'er's room and discuss it slowly, the Hou Mansion and they won't leave for a while.
