In the middle of spring, everything has been revived, and the old trees on the roadside have pulled out new shoots.

But walking in the narrow back alley of the Marquis of Changchun's mansion, I can still feel the coldness.

There is a house in the depths of the alley, the door is closed, and few people pass by, which is the residence of Yang, the wife of the Marquis of Changchun, who was abandoned.

The gatekeeper was bored, so she moved a small pestle and sat in the courtyard basking in the sun and eating melon seeds.

Suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door.

The gatekeeper raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Master Hou is a ruthless person, since he divorced Mrs. Hou, he has never taken a step at all.

The second girl and the two sons came once, but she didn't dare to hide it, and reported to the Hou Ye through the mouth of the person who came to send the expenses on a monthly basis, and she never came after that.

Who will knock on the door at this time?

The doorkeeper put the small bamboo basket containing the melon seeds to the side and walked over to open a crack in the door.

"Who?"

Seeing the people standing outside the door, the doorkeeper was taken aback: "Sister-in-law, why are you here at this time?" ”

Sister-in-law is the one who comes to send expenses every month.

Sister-in-law Xi smiled: "It's not time to cut clothes in the spring, and the steward asked me to send another piece of silver." ”

When the gatekeeper heard this, she couldn't help but welcome her sister-in-law in.

"Yo, eat melon seeds." Looking at a field of melon seed shells, my sister-in-law snorted.

The gatekeeper picked up the bamboo basket containing melon seeds with one hand, and grabbed the arm of the sister-in-law with the other: "Let's go, let's go into the house and say." ”

is guarding such an abandoned woman, and even eating melon seeds is a lonely person, and the gatekeeper has long been suffocated, and every time her sister-in-law comes over, she has to talk for a long time.

Sister-in-law Xi followed the doorkeeper into the wing, chatted for a while and handed over the money bag.

The gatekeeper is busy.

The money is in her hands, and it's not up to her to decide how much to use it.

Sister-in-law is sending her money.

The gatekeeper grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into the hands of sister-in-law: "Eat melon seeds, the newly fried melon seeds are fragrant." ”

Sister-in-law put down the melon seeds, took out something from her arms and handed it over.

"What is this?"

Sister-in-law Xi glanced in the direction of the house where the Yang family was, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and now I am afraid that I can't get used to eating porridge and side dishes, so I brought her some good condiments." ”

The gatekeeper was stunned, staring at the cloth bag handed over by sister-in-law Xi and didn't dare to take it: "Sister-in-law Xi, this, this is it-"

It can't be poison, right?

Sister-in-law Xi's hand flipped, and a gold ingot fell into the hands of the gatekeeper.

The palm of the gatekeeper's hand seemed to be burned by fire, and it was hot.

Of course, gold ingots will never be thrown out.

"It's not something that kills people, or it's something that often eats people, and it makes you confused." Sister-in-law Xi squeezed the hand of the doorkeeper and said in a low voice, "Mrs. and Master Hou have been husband and wife for so many years, and Master Hou is afraid that Mrs. will not be able to stand being hit by Hugh and talk nonsense, so——"

The sister-in-law didn't say the latter words, but the gatekeeper understood it.

It's normal for Hou Ye to have this kind of worry, the one who looks at his eyes now is weird, and when the girls and sons come, they may have to talk nonsense.

"Is it really poisonous and doesn't kill people?"

Sister-in-law smiled: "What do we have to do with it, can I still coax you?" Besides, after all, the wife is still the biological mother of the girl and the son, how could the Hou Ye want the wife's life. ”

The gatekeeper clutched the heavy gold ingots and nodded.

You don't have to carry your life, in the current situation, maybe it's better to be confused, she still does a good deed.

Seeing that the matter was done, the sister-in-law left for a while and left.

Walking in the long and dark alley, the sister-in-law raised her hand and pressed her heart.

Right in the heart of the mouth, there is a stack of silver tickets.

Five hundred taels!

Of course, this was not given by Master Hou, but by the eldest girl.

Sister-in-law Xi could still think of the shock on her face when the eldest girl handed her the silver ticket and those things.

Not only shocked by the big girl's behavior, but also shocked by the big girl's ability to get so much money.

However, who will have trouble with money, this is five hundred taels of silver!

What she wanted her to do was just to secretly hand over those things to the mother-in-law who was watching the Yang family in the name of the Hou Ye.

What made sister-in-law Xi easily fall to Xu Fang was the overstretched of the Hou Mansion during the New Year.

In previous years, you could get some reward money for the New Year, but now I have been looking forward to it for a year, but I haven't even paid the monthly money on time.

Hou Mansion is like this, can it not make people worry about the future?

And the eldest girl promised, and when she got out of the cabinet, she would be a companion.

Xi's sister-in-law raised her hand and stroked the silk flowers on her sideburns.

The General's Mansion is much stronger than the Hou Mansion, and it is a good errand to be able to be a companion for the eldest girl.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the eldest girl coaxes her, the five hundred taels of silver tickets are real.

In the quiet courtyard, the spring greeting in the corner of the wall quietly opened.

Xu Fang stood by the window to admire the flowers, and turned around when she heard the movement.

"Girl, sister-in-law is back." Red Moon walked over and closed the window to report.

Xu Fang nodded slightly: "It's hard work." ”

She didn't ask if it would work out.

If there is money that can make the devil grind, how can it not be smashed down with five hundred taels of silver?

"Girl, in case sister-in-law can't be trusted-"

Xu Fang smiled: "Does she want to expose me to her father?" So what good can she do? ”

The Hou Mansion lost 10,000 taels of silver before the Chinese New Year, and a few months ago in order to bring his younger brother back from the Dadu Governor's Mansion, he also lost 5,000 taels.

In such a situation, Xi's sister-in-law still expects to report her reward from her father?

Miss Luo is right, you can't back down when it's time to let go, and you have to solve your own affairs by yourself after all.

Yang is just how to be suspended, and the things she and her father did to their mother must be revealed to the world, so that they can comfort their mother's spirit in heaven.

Xu Fang thought about what Luo Sheng said, and her mood was agitated.

Can you really wait until that day?

Before she met Miss Luo, she couldn't imagine it at all.

Since she was a child, she has lived in fear, and even growing up safely has become a kind of expectation, and her father and stepmother are like two treacherous mountains pressing on her heart, so that she doesn't know how to move.

When she met Miss Luo, she found that some things are not so difficult, and although some people are vicious, they are not so capable.

This incident in the back alley of the Marquis of Changchun is like a small pebble thrown into the lake, and after a few ripples, it dissipates without a trace, and the whole capital is still immersed in the bustle of spring.

Soon it was the day of the release of the Gongyuan.

As the officials sent by the Ministry of Rites went everywhere to report the good news, the much-anticipated Huiyuan was widely known as the Jinsha Su Gongzi who shined on the Shangyuan Festival.

In addition, there is another pair of brothers who are particularly eye-catching, that is, Sheng Dalang and Sheng Erlang.

Although the rankings of the two are not high, they are both on the list, and they are Jinshi after the palace examination.

A double jinshi is enough to shine on the lintel.

What's more, the two brothers are young, and they haven't married wives.

It is said that the Sheng brothers are the nephews of the governor of Luo-
