Chapter 216, the second brother had an accident
The old lady is indeed not coming, what is she coming to do? Looking at people's cold faces?
Zhong Wu persuaded him several times, but the old lady just didn't come.
"If they genuinely ask for it, they will come in person, not just send it with a post."
Zhong Wu was helpless and said: "Now that Zhong Yong's family is thriving, the juniors are counting on him to pull it, why do you bother?" And you can also see that Zhong Hou is already abolished, Zhong Wen can still block something, but you can't get along, what else can you expect? ”
The old lady was in pain when she said this.
She said:
"Look at it, Zhong Yong, he won't be proud for a few days."
Zhong Wu saw that she was obsessed, and he didn't persuade her, so he turned around and left.
Today's return banquet, except for the little episode in the east courtyard, nothing else happened.
After sending off the guests, they set off back to the Shen Mansion, first went to ask their mother for peace, the Yin family was very concerned about Shen Mingze, and invited a doctor to diagnose his pulse, although there was some complaint about her in words, but it was okay.
After the doctor checked the pulse, he said that he was fine, so she let them go back to the room.
And when she has nothing to do in the house these days, she arranges the responsibilities of the maid in the yard.
By the way, sort out the dowry.
It's just that she looked at her dowry, many of which Shen Mingze bought for him, which she also found when she was sorting out.
At first, she thought it was her sister-in-law's.
She was instructing the maids to register one by one, when she saw Ah Xiang coming, still holding some paperwork in his hand.
Zhong Jinxiu saw him and beckoned him to come closer.
Ah Xiangren is a little fat, and when he smiles, his eyes are squinting, and he looks very peaceful.
Zhong Jinxiu pointed to the dowry list in his hand and asked, "You prepared these dowries at the beginning?" ”
Ah Xiang glanced at the treasury and said, "This is what the young master has prepared a long time ago." ”
"Oh? Is he sure I'll agree to get married? ”
Ah Xianghan smiled: "This... The young master is the dragon and phoenix among people, and you and the young grandmother are a match made in heaven, how can you disagree? ”
Zhong Jinxiu didn't embarrass him and said: "Well, these dead things are easy to sort out, but you, the daring dowry Zhuangzi and shop, go back and send me the account book." ”
Ah Xiang smiled: "Yes, the slave will go." ”
"Wait."
"Huh?"
"Does your young master have any other properties besides these shops and Zhuangzi?"
"This..."Ah Xiang realized something, and hurriedly said: No.
Zhong Jinxiu nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Zhong Jinxiu instructed the maids to clean up the warehouse, and began to assign the duties of the maids.
Peach is still her eldest maid, as for Mama An... Shen Mingze gave his mother face, and he didn't look for her in the past few days.
As for Tian Qi?
She was always leaving, so she was still led by Peaches, and Yuzu and Chestnut, these two followed her for a long time.
As for the rest, they were in charge one by one.
There are a lot of people who need to use food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the use of people is heartfelt, if someone has two hearts and loses direction, she will definitely not be merciful.
The Shen family couldn't arrange it, so they were directly divided into Zhuangzi and the shop, and if the people in the house made mistakes in the future, they naturally had to be replaced.
With such a proper arrangement, Zhong Jinxiu thought about arranging Mama An, she has been acting recently, assigning work, and she has not avoided Mama An.
Mama An didn't bother, just watched.
She looked at Zhong Jinxiu's work, vigorous and resolute, but there was no omission, originally after Shang Mama left, she has been worried, saying that this Shang Mama was beaten ten boards, and then sent to Zhuangzi, to fend for herself. I've heard that no one even delivers medicine...
When she was beaten, the masters only said that they were not well waited, but how could this be a poor waiter, it was not a sentence from the young grandmother.
She has been careful these days, and she is afraid that the young grandmother will sue.
Her mind flipped, and she heard the peach girl next to the young grandmother report that the young grandmother invited her over.
She didn't dare to take this kind of feeling.
"Mama An, young grandma is here to invite you over."
Mama Ann sighed softly, and after a while, she went to the main house.
I was looking at the young grandmother cooking tea, she looked very good, her temperament was also atmospheric, dignified and elegant, and she had a majestic atmosphere in her bones. Just one glance, you can't be underestimated.
The last time she had an argument with Mama Shang in front of her, she still wanted to help her deal with Mama Shang. It can be seen that he is clumsy.
The young grandmother has her own ideas in her heart.
"The slave asked the young grandmother."
Zhong Jinxiu stepped forward and gave a hand, saying, "Why does Mama An need to be so polite? You are an elder, and since my mother sent you to help us, my cousin and I can accept this in our hearts. ”
Mama An sneered: "Young grandma is polite, the slave maid didn't help much." ”
"How come, look at you here, I'm not in order here, it's all the fruit of your deterrence, I'm a bride, I don't understand anything, there are irregularities in this thing, just bring it up, I will correct it."
How dare she mention it?
Mama Shang was disposed of because she mentioned that the dowry should be put in the treasury of the house.
"The young lady acts rigorously, and the assignment of duties is also very reasonable, so naturally there is no mistake."
Zhong Jinxiu smiled and said, "That's it, if Mama An is willing, I will give you the key to this warehouse for safekeeping." I heard my cousin say that Mama An used to manage the treasury for her mother, and she had never missed a business trip over the years. ”
Only then did Mama An understand that it was the young master who said good things for herself.
I was deeply moved.
"Thank you, Grandma."
Mama An felt that for the sake of the eldest young master, she must not do anything wrong.
In the evening, she waited for a while, but she didn't see Shen Mingze come back, so she asked someone to ask, and Ah Xiang came back to report that he was in the palace.
Something should have happened in the court again.
Zhong Jinxiu first took a few bites of food, and then read the account book in the room, but it was not until late that Ah Xiang came to report.
"Young grandma, the young master is still in ceremony, saying that he won't come back tonight, let you rest first."
Zhong Jinxiu only told him to pay attention to his body, so he didn't ask much, and when she was done, she went to bed.
It's just that this master is not detailed, and she starts to have nightmares again.
When he woke up in the middle of the night, Zhong Jinxiu hurriedly asked, "Peach, hasn't the young master come back yet?" ”
Momoko shook her head to indicate that she didn't know.
"Master, slave and maid, let's go and inquire."
Zhong Jinxiu bowed his head and said, "Hmm." ”
After a while, Peaches came over and replied, "Uncle is back, but he is in the study at this time." ”
Zhong Jinxiu bowed his head and said, "Serve me to get up, I'll go and bring him some pastries." ”
The study was next door, Zhong Jinxiu asked Peaches to take something, and went to the front yard, but as soon as he arrived outside the door of the study, he heard a little loud inside.
"In any case, send someone to find evidence, I don't believe that Zhong Lang will kill King Mu."
"Master, it is said that General Lu Fei saw it with his own eyes, and it will definitely not be bad. There are all human and material evidence, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to overturn the case. ”
"You have to remember that he doesn't kill."
......
Zhong Jinxiu was outside the door, listening to those words, her heart tightened slightly, and she couldn't settle down.
She stepped forward, pushed the door open, and asked, "Who did you say died?" ”
Shen Mingze didn't expect that at this moment, Zhong Jinxiu hadn't slept yet, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You guys go out to do things first." ”
After everyone left, Shen Mingze said: "It's okay, I have already sent someone to find evidence, I think that after a short time, the second brother will be innocent." ”
"Is King Mu really dead?"
"Yes, in order not to affect the morale of the army, the body was smuggled back."
"What about my second brother?"
"He has been locked up, and he will be pressed back to the capital soon, you have to believe me, I will definitely be fine."
Neither of them rested until dawn that night.
Shen Mingze got up and went out, Zhong Jinxiu couldn't stay, and said a few words to the Yin family that he was going to go to the street to see the shops, and the Yin family also wanted to take the majesty of his mother-in-law and say a few words, but the grandmother next to him pulled her gently, implying that she should not talk more.
Yin knew that Mama was reminding him of her identity.
Recently, she left Mama An in the yard, so that she had face in front of her sister-in-law, so she was in a good mood this time and would not embarrass her.
"Well, you can go, go early and come back early."
"Thank you, Mother."
Zhong Jinxiu left the Shen Mansion and went back to the Zhong Mansion directly, Xiao Shen and the two sisters-in-law were still in the house, Zhong Jinxiu asked a few tentative questions, they still didn't know the situation of the second brother.
"Jinxiu, you came back suddenly, but what happened? The Shen family is embarrassed by you? ”
Seeing her coming back in a hurry, Xiao Shen thought about it, and there was only this point.
Nie Qiushuang and Wang Chuyun also looked at Zhong Jinxiu, and Nie Qiushuang said: "Sister Jinxiu, you are now a princess, your identity is proud, and no one in the entire Shen family dares to bully you, but something else happened?" ”
Wang Chuyun also stood up and said: "Something happened, Sister Jinxiu said it, and everyone should find a way." ”
Looking at Wang Chuyun, Zhong Jinxiu remembered that he was reckless today, and this matter must be hidden from the second sister-in-law first, so as not to worry them.
Zhong Jinxiu controlled his emotions, and then said gently: "I went out for a walk today, and suddenly I came to the door, so I came back to see you." ”
Nie Qiushuang smiled.
"Sister Jinxiu is afraid that she is homesick, so don't leave at noon today, let's go back after eating at home first."
Zhong Jinxiu bowed slightly.
In the early afternoon, his father hurried back.
She was about to leave, so she hurriedly invited her father to the study, and was about to speak, Zhong Yong said: "Jinxiu, I know why you came, the emperor has sent someone to investigate this matter, and we all believe that your second brother will not do foolish things." ”
Zhong Jinxiu said: "Dad, the second brother will be fine, right?" ”
"Yes."
Zhong Jinxiu thought for a while and asked: "Then Dad, do you have the object of suspicion, who is it who can't get along with us and frames us?" ”
Zhong Yong frowned and asked, "It's hard to say......"
The Zhong family has been in the limelight in the past few years, and there are not many people who want to harm him, and it is the hardest to rule out who this person is.
Zhong Jinxiu's guess in his heart must be a long-term wait, and Xiao Ruiyi, the king of Huan behind them, is only short of evidence now.
"Dad, do you doubt the long term?"
Zhong Yong frowned and denied: "Impossible, he is injured at home, how can he kill King Mu." Changhou and Minnan Jing have been friends for many years, and the two are from the same school, how can it hurt him, don't speculate, you will take it at home these days, and you must not go out. ”
