Chapter 54: The Mo Family
Zhang Sheng's reaction was extremely fast, and when he heard Su Qibai hear his name, he immediately came over to greet Mo's family.
"Court Zhang's judgment doesn't have to be so polite."
Mo was frightened and hurriedly returned a salute.
The Mo family was the concubine of a wealthy businessman when she was not in the middle of the road, although she was humble and she was not as talented as the people who came out, but her father and mother were never partial, and she had everything that her children learned, in addition to the clothes and treatment that were not as good as those of the grandmother, she basically had a lot of things that she had from the grandmother, so she was very satisfied, and she didn't feel that her father and mother favored whoever and who, and she didn't have the slightest status in the family.
And her father treats her equally, and her mother-in-law naturally treats her equally, and the treatment in the cabinet goes without saying, even after leaving the cabinet, he also plans to find a good family for her, so that she can marry in and become a lady directly, instead of being a concubine like her aunt.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, when her mother-in-law chose a family affair for her, and even when she was about to send someone to talk to the matchmaker, an accident suddenly happened, her father, because he was victimized by a traitor, all the silver on his body was lost, and even a lot of robbers came to the family, and he said that he was a creditor, and he came to Mofu to get things because Master Mo owed them silver, and they had to come to the door.
Mo's mother-in-law naturally didn't believe this, and asked the family to stop them, and asked them if there was any evidence for saying this, and if there was no evidence and they made up a robbery, it would be a robbery, so they had to report to the yamen and let the people in the yamen punish them.
But those creditors dare to come to collect debts, then there must be evidence in it, otherwise it would not be possible to be so arrogant.
Sure enough, the person at the head snorted coldly, and asked the people under his hand to pull out Master Mo, who was unkempt and the whole person was already in a state of confusion, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Master Mo, your wife doesn't seem to know about you yet, why don't you take advantage of everyone's presence today to tell him about this matter and let her know what is going on?" ”
The tone of the leader was slightly threatening, which made everyone present shudder.
And Mrs. Mo looked at Master Mo with a sharp look.
Master Mo is a human being, not a god, not to mention being watched by so many people, no matter how good his ability to bear it is, he will be very panicked when he encounters the current situation.
After all, there were not only those guys standing in front of him, but also the family members in his own house, and... The lady who has been with him for many years.
Master Mo knelt on the ground with a "poof", and said with tears streaming down his face: "Madam, I was deceived by others when I was doing business, and I lost a lot of money to go in. To repay the money, I... I had no choice but to go to the gambling house, thinking that if I could turn over the plate there, I would be able to pay back the money. But I didn't expect that the more I lost, the only way I had to borrow it, but I didn't expect that the more I borrowed and played, the more I lost, and the more I owed, Madam, I owed too much, it was too big, and when the owner of the gambling house asked me to pay it back, I really couldn't afford to pay it back. But I couldn't afford it, so they threatened me, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I said that there were still some valuable items at home for them to take, and then they did. ”
The rest of the things Master Mo didn't say much, but although he didn't say much, Mrs. Mo knew what he meant, she rubbed her head, and said to the next person, "You all retreat first, let them go and get it." ”
"Yes."
The family came in because of Mrs. Mo's order, and when he heard Mrs. Mo's words, he was unwilling in his heart, so he also left the house.
A smile appeared on the leader's face, and he said, "If Mrs. Mo had cooperated like this earlier, wouldn't it have saved a lot of effort from the brothers I brought here?" ”
Mrs. Mo ignored his sarcasm, but said: "Do what you want to do quickly, do you say what to do, do you think I'm not annoying enough, and deliberately angry with me?" ”
The person at the head admired Mrs. Mo's temperament, and the corners of his mouth hooked a faint arc, "Since Mrs. Mo said it, then I'm not welcome, brothers, move!" ”
The man's face cooled after the last sentence, and immediately, his men began to act, and within a few minutes, the valuable things in the main courtyard were looted.
Not only did the main courtyard suffer, but the yard of her concubines and aunts was all harmed, valuable things were robbed, jewelry and silk were taken, and the whole courtyard was in a mess.
When the children of the aunt and concubine left their house and ran over to cry about how miserable their yard was, Mrs. Mo's head was big, because Master Mo's matter hit her too hard, so Mrs. Mo didn't want to speak, so she shook her head directly and showed the IOU in hand to others.
Then the aunts present turned pale, and a few bold ones even said tentatively: "Master, are you really, really like that?" ”
"Hmm." Master Mo lowered his eyes and said: "I was fooled by others in business, and I lost all my money, not to mention, and because I was in a hurry, I went to the gambling house, and then, then. ”
Master Mo burst into tears as he spoke.
"This."
The children of the aunt and concubine looked at Master Mo like this, and there was a trace of unbearability in their hearts, but just as they were about to organize words to comfort Master Mo, they heard Master Mo say: "You go and call all the people in the mansion in." ”
"Yes." The first aunt was flustered, and after all, she said with her head bowed.
Five minutes later, all the servants in the house came, not only the subordinates, but also the housekeeper, and even the bookkeeper.
"Master, everyone is here." The butler said tremblingly.
"It's hard to be a housekeeper." Master Mo stood up, sat on the other side of Mrs. Mo, and said, "Everyone should be clear about my situation, then I will go straight to the point and not say anything polite to everyone." The Mo family, it's going to fall, I can't afford to support so many people in the house, I also have some silver in my hand, housekeeper, you go to the third cabinet in my study and take it out. If you need any of the things in the house, take them. ”
For a while, there was a sound of lamentation, and the housekeeper went to get the silver, and distributed them to the subordinates according to Master Mo's intentions, and let them leave, but some of the subordinates had good hearts, and they didn't take the silver, nor did they take the things in the house, and left directly.
The subordinates are gone, then only they are left, Master Mo has been with these aunts and concubines for so long, and he is reluctant, but for the sake of their future, he still let them go, and the only ones in the house who insist on leaving are only a few from her and the Mo family.
But what if you are reluctant to go, in the end, you are not gone. Let's go, and even be accepted as a concubine in the name of people's gentle personality and excellent piano, chess, calligraphy and painting skills.
It's just that the imperial court has very big regulations on wealthy businessmen participating in the imperial examination, and as a wealthy businessman, it is naturally impossible for the Mo family to have a father born in the imperial examination, and naturally, it is impossible to meet people in the palace, and it is impossible for her to meet people in the palace with her identity.
