After returning home for dinner, Xiao Qi asked, "Mother, why did you buy such expensive jewelry?" ”

Now the yard is very large, the Xiaoqi family lives in the second entry, and the Hua family lives in the third entrance.

Meals are no longer eaten together.

Liu Dahe pricked up his ears.

Niu: "Isn't it just 1,500 taels of silver?" Tomorrow, I will have someone send it to Mingyue Restaurant. ”

When Liu Dahe heard fifteen hundred taels of silver, he almost threw the blessing in his arms to the ground.

Everything was ready, and the Niu family was looking forward to it day by day, and finally looked forward to the day when he went to Mufu as a guest.

After getting up in the morning, like a woman before a wedding, she cleaned her face, put on makeup and combed her hair, dressed up for a small hour, and finally dressed up properly.

Mrs. Mu had already set up a trap for the Niu family here, and asked Mama Zhang, who was beside her, to take the Niu family to sit down in the small hall specially prepared for the Niu family.

She had already instructed Mama Zhang to put something in it that looked atmospheric but was actually a fake.

Seeing that Mrs. Niu Mu was very enthusiastic about herself, her heart couldn't help but swell even more.

After Mama Zhang left the house, Niu Shi put a piece of snack in her mouth, got up with a smile, and touched everything one by one.

After a while, hearing a voice from outside the house, Niu Shi was very nervous, and immediately ran back to the table to sit down, and accidentally touched a jade bonsai on the Bogu shelf on the side.

With a bang, the jade bonsai fell to the ground and shattered, and at the same time, there was also a heart of the Niu family, it was over, it was all over.

Niu was very nervous and felt dizzy.

The person who came in was Mama Zhang, and she looked shocked when she saw the debris on the ground.

"It's over, this is our lady's favorite jade bonsai."

"What can I do? How do I explain to my wife? Today is our wife's birthday, and Mrs. Liu smashed the jade bonsai, which is also too unlucky. ”

Niu's biggest concern now is how much this jade bonsai is.

"Mama, how much does this item cost?"

Mama Zhang: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Say, this jade bonsai is worth 10,000 taels, it was given to our wife by the eldest princess, and it is our lady's favorite, and we have to scrub it personally every day." ”

Hearing this, Niu Shi rolled his eyes and fainted.

Mama Zhang pinched the middle of the person with her own hands, woke up Niu, and took out a piece of paper, "This is an IOU of 10,000 taels of silver, Mrs. Liu put a handprint on it." ”

After Niu's handprint was pressed, Mama Zhang immediately carried Niu's into the carriage, "A few of you, remember to send Mrs. Liu to the Liu family in person." ”

Niu's came to Mufu this time, and he didn't eat, and he wanted to know more of a few official wives.

In the Mu Mansion, after the guests left, Mrs. Mu sent the people around her and left Mama Zhang alone.

"Mama Zhang, are things all done?"

Mama Zhang: "Madame, don't worry, it's all done, and the drug is just right." ”

"Jade is the most difficult to value, that Niu is just a village woman, and she can't see the flaws."

"Let's see if they dare to climb my son again in the future."

The foreign debt of 10,000 taels of silver, the Niu family has the heart to die.

Back in the house, Niu's face was cold.

Liu Dahe saw that her face was not good, so he didn't dare to go up and talk.

After Xiao Qi got off the Ya, he followed Hua Xi'er to Qixi Building, and didn't come back until it was time for dinner.

Seeing that there was no Niu on the table, Xiao Qi looked at Liu Dahe, who was holding Laifu in his arms, "Dad, what's going on?" Why didn't my mother come to dinner? ”

Liu Dahe: "Your mother is lying on the bed, saying that she is not feeling well." ”

Xiao Qi asked with concern: "Have you seen it yet?" What's wrong with it? ”

Seeing that Liu Dahe couldn't speak, Xiao Qi and Ah Fu went to the inner room in person.

Xiao Qi walked to the side of the bed and reached out to Niu's forehead, fortunately it wasn't hot, "Mother, what's uncomfortable?" ”

Ah Fu also said: "I'll ask Lao Zhao Tou to help invite Lang Zhong over." ”

Niu waved his hand, "Don't invite Langzhong, I'm fine." ”

Saying that, Niu Shi tilted his head, and Xiao Qi hurriedly stuffed another pillow into Niu's back.

Niu couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning all night, and when he opened his eyes in the morning, he immediately pulled out his small box from under the bed, counted and counted, and frowned.

She ran to the next room, opened the silver sent by the boss, touched and touched, and reluctantly closed and opened it, which would not be her own in the future.

And it's still far from 10,000 taels.

Niu Shi returned to the house, took out a wooden comb and began to comb her hair, and saw that there were a lot of hairs wrapped around the comb, she took off her hair, and saw that two of the hairs were gray and gray, could it be that the head was white overnight?

Feeling that the bronze mirror was not clear, Niu immediately called the little maid, "Help me see if my hair is all white?" ”

The little maid was a little frightened when she saw that Niu's face was pale, "Madam, it's not all white, only a few gray hairs." ”

Niu took the bronze mirror to the courtyard, looked at it for a while, and fell on the mirror in anger.

Xiao Qi finished breakfast and was about to go to the Yamen, when he saw Niu's drop the bronze mirror, he immediately came over and picked up the bronze mirror.

"Mother, are you okay?"

Niu squatted on the ground, stroking his chest, trying his best not to cry.

Xiao Qi helped Niu up, "Mother, you are clearly very sad, cry if you want to cry, after crying, tell us what happened, we are all a family, share blessings and difficulties." ”

The bronze mirror fell to the ground, and the sound was very loud, attracting Ah Fu and Liu Dahe over.

Ah Fu also said: "Mother, you are crying so much that our hearts are broken, if there is anything, just say it, let's figure it out as a family." ”

Niu Shiwa cried, and after crying his eyes into peaches, he told what had happened.

Liu Dahe was stunned when he heard that he owed the prefect 10,000 taels of silver.

Xiao Qi: "Mother, you eat breakfast first, let's figure out a way for this as a family." ”

Niu didn't have much appetite, so he only ate two bites and put down his chopsticks.

On this day, Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er were both late.

Hua Xi'er: "I heard the movement of your house, your mother owes 10,000 taels, right, 10,000 taels is really not a big deal for the two of us now, but I think there is something strange about this matter." Xiao Qi, think about it, the prefect's wife is from the capital, and she is very familiar with the banquet, how could such an accident happen? ”

Xiao Qi couldn't think of it.

Hua Xi'er patted her on the shoulder, "I'll let people inquire about this." ”

Xiao Qi: "Aunt Xi, you also have eyeliner in Mufu?" ”

Hua Xi'er put her index finger to her lips, "Shhh, be quiet, don't let others hear." ”

……

In the house over there, the Niu family gathered all the maids and maids in the courtyard, "I have no relationship with you, you pack up your things, and I will call Ya Po to come and pick up people in the afternoon." ”

The maids burst into tears, and soon brought Granny Hua over.

"Chrysanthemum, what's going on?"

Niu Shi took out a handkerchief and pressed the corner of his eyes, "I have to pay monthly money every month, the family's expenses are too big, I am from the countryside, and I do all the work." Isn't this going to send all the people in the family away, so that you can save some money. ”

Granny Hua: "The people don't have to sell it, I will pay their monthly money in the future." ”

Niu: "They eat and drink a lot a month. ”

Granny Hua took a silver ticket and handed it to Niu, "In the future, I will pay for their food and drink, here are a hundred taels of chrysanthemums, you can take it first." ”

Niu Shi took the silver ticket, his face was slightly red, "This, how embarrassing is this." ”

Granny Hua: "This one hundred taels of silver is nothing, you have worked hard to take care of housework these days, and you will have to bother to continue to take care of it in the future." ”
