"Momoko, if no one speaks, go back to the shop to receive guests."

Momoko hurriedly explained: "No, master, the slave and maid have been packed, let's go back, the second young master and the second young master are waiting at home." ”

Zhong Jinxiu bowed his head, and was about to hold the child and miss him, but Shen Mingze hurriedly stopped Zhong Jinxiu.

Holding her arm, Ah Xiang saw the opportunity, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, and said, "Young lady, Xiaoxi is not the young master's woman, but her subordinates saw that she was pitiful, so they took her out." ”

"Humph......"

Zhong Jinxiu didn't say anything, tilted his head slightly, but looked at Shen Mingze, his eyes were full of annoyance.

"It's a quick explanation." But she didn't believe it, "I'm not here for three years, and someone actually takes my place in Kyoto to show off his might, and this concubine's card is bigger than that of me, a young lady?" People outside say that it is our Lord Shen's concubine who is raised outside? It's been three years, but I don't know, when did Lord Shen add a new hobby? ”

He originally thought that the young lady would ask him for blame, but the young lady didn't, he was scolding the young master every word, and he was sure that the young master was raising women outside, but the young master didn't.

But the young lady did not believe it.

But this reflects exactly one thing.

The young master handed over the shop outside to him and gave him enough trust, but he had crooked thoughts and caused this commotion to the young master, which really deserved death.

Ah Xiang glanced up at the young master, and he could feel the anger of his master.

He hurriedly explained: "Young lady, you really misunderstood. ”

Zhong Jinxiu didn't pay attention to Ah Xiang at all, but asked, "Peach, have you packed it up?" ”

"Yes, master."

Looking at the man in front of him, Zhong Jinxiu said with a bad temperament: "You get up." ”

Inexplicably, Shen Mingze was a little anxious, but he couldn't figure out what she wanted to do, inexplicably irritable, he asked, "What, can you relieve your anger?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu seemed to be waiting for this sentence.

He took out an account book from the side and said, "This is all the things that a woman took from the shop, give me back as soon as possible, and none of them will be missing." There is also to quell all the rumors outside that she is your concubine. ”

Zhong Jinxiu glanced at the person who was kneeling on the ground, and never said anything humble to his behavior: "You get him away for me, I don't want to see him." ”

Shen Mingze said a good word, and then ordered: "Ah Xiang, you go to the shop tomorrow to take care of it." ”

Zhong Jinxiu said: "You don't have to go to the shop, my second brother didn't come down on an errand, let him go to Yunnan with him." ”

Ah Xiang was not very happy now.

Q Why?

"Ah Xiang, don't you know how many things that woman took from the store?"

Zhong Jinxiu glanced at Shen Mingze and asked, "Do you know?" ”

Shen Mingze shook his head.

"That woman told the public that she was your concubine outside, you know?"

Shen Mingze frowned here.

"Do you know that woman flatters the maid next to me?"

Shen Mingze shook his head again.

"Very good, from today onwards, all the shopkeepers in the shop will be transferred outside, and I will let them know who is the master of this house."

Shen Mingze did not object.

She glanced at Ah Xiang and asked, "Ah Xiang, what do you think?" ”

Ah Xiang was a little unhappy, glanced at Shen Mingze, and hoped that the young master could say a few words for him.

But the young master only had the young grandmother in his eyes, and he was indignant in his heart, and said, "Young master, my subordinates will retire first." ”

Momoko watched him leave, slightly anxious.

wanted to step forward and say something, but Zhong Jinxiu glared at her slightly, and she retreated silently.

Peach asked, "Master, shall we go back to Zhongfu?" ”

"Return, of course."

Momoko glanced at her uncle again.

"Look at what he's doing, a mess waiting for him to clean up."

Zhong Jinxiu looked at the hand that was still holding his arm, and threatened: "Let go, I made an appointment with my sister-in-law and sister-in-law." ”

"You're not angry?"

Zhong Jinxiu chuckled, in a trance The anger just now was all floating clouds, and she said: "Angry, of course angry, someone dares to beat your idea, I can't wait to tear her, but what, I usually don't care about this kind of small role, so you just need to deal with Ah Xiang." After dealing with Ah Xiang and everyone who has a relationship with her, she naturally has no expectations and will live a good life with Ah Xiang. ”

"You've found out."

"Hmm."

"And you today?"

"I made an appointment with my sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and I want to go back, so I have already made an appointment."

"So you're not running away from home?"

"When did I say I was going to run away from home?" Zhong Jinxiu walked in and said softly, "If I leave, won't I be cheaper for the people outside who are worried about you?" I'm not stupid. ”

Shen Mingze's back was sweating. Now I'll tell her that it's all just playing.

"You..."Momoko looked worriedly, afraid that her uncle would be angry and want to fight with the young lady, so she had to pull it, but after a long time, her uncle only said one word, "Okay." ”

Shen Mingze is gone, Zhong Jinxiu is also a little afraid, she still doesn't know where Shen Mingze's bottom line is, and what step she can take.

"Master, is he angry, young master?"

"Probably so." What is he angry about? He connived at his subordinates to make such a mistake, causing a commotion to himself, he was embarrassed to deal with it, she helped him deal with it, why should he be angry?

It's yourself who should be angry.

"Let's go."

Zhong Jinxiu ordered to set off.

When I returned to Zhong's house, my sister-in-law and sister-in-law were waiting.

My sister-in-law is still pregnant, and she is eight months old, and this is already about to give birth.

Zhong Jinxiu asked, "Are you all ready?" ”

"I've been preparing for a long time."

Zhong Jinxiu thought for a while and said, "Are your father and aunt back?" ”

"Said that I will be back in a few days, and it will be almost there." When Nie Qiushuang saw the children behind her, she was enthusiastic, "Come into the house, the stars are all sitting in the house, just let the three of them play." ”

Zhong Jinxiu asked Cheng's mother to carry the child over, and she had something to ask the two sisters-in-law.

mentioned that her second brother was going to Yunnan, and her second sister-in-law wiped some tears.

Yunnan is barren, food and housing are naturally not as prosperous as Kyoto, Lao Mu and Lao Mu Princess only meet once a year, and even a few years can not see each other.

When Lu Fei went to Yunnan, he didn't return for a few years, and when he came back, there were more beautiful girls around him. Wang Chuyun was worried, what should she do at that time?

In three years, no matter how much warmth there is, it has dissipated. Zhong Jinxiu comforted the second sister-in-law and said, "If the second sister-in-law is not at ease, just follow the second brother." ”

"It's... May I? ”

"It's... It depends on whether the second sister-in-law wants to go. ”

"My father and aunt live in Changzhou, and there are no elders in the family except for my eldest brother and sister-in-law." Nie Qiushuang said with a smile, "You, don't make up your mind, the second brother is going on a business trip, so he has to stabilize over there, and he will come back to pick up your second sister-in-law and children." ”

Zhong Jinxiu smiled, her father and aunt will come back in a few days, her aunt is a kind-hearted person, if the second sister-in-law mentions, she will naturally let the second sister-in-law go with her.

But whether this goes or not depends on whether her second sister-in-law wants to go or not.

I saw her sister-in-law stretching out her hand and standing alone, her hair in a bun, looking at her eyes.

"Who is this? Is the sister-in-law of the sister-in-law? ”

Nie Qiushuang, who was comforting Wang Chuyun, paused slightly, and then asked, "This is my maiden cousin, Cong Yun." Now serve your brother with me. ”

"I've seen the eldest lady."

The eldest brother and the second brother are in the study, and they must be discussing the trip to Yunnan, and they will come out in a while.

His eldest brother said, "I know that you will definitely come back in the next few days." ”

Zhong Jinxiu smiled.

I haven't seen each other for three years, and my eldest brother looks calm and refreshing.

"Big brother and second brother."

"You came back because your second brother was going to Yunnan?"

Zhong Ming also knew about his sister's 'running away from home', and they also tracked him for a long distance in order to find his sister, but they were stopped by Shen Mingze halfway.

Shen Mingze said he could handle the matter.

But he wanted to ask his sister.

Greeted my sister to the study.

Zhong Jinxiu faced the two elder brothers in the study, Zhong Jinxiu knew that the more one person knew, the more danger there was, and the second brother didn't talk about it, so he didn't say this danger.

"Jinxiu, you tell your eldest brother clearly, what happened to you three years ago?"

Zhong Jinxiu said: "Big brother, it's been three years, and I have forgotten it." ”

Zhong Ming's anger was not that she ran away from home, but that such a big thing happened in the family, and he, as the eldest brother, didn't know about it.

also let his younger siblings support themselves.

There were some things that he only learned after his father's resignation, it turned out that his grandmother was not their real grandmother, and it turned out that the main mother wanted to harm them.

After his sister left, he deliberately inquired about some things, from the embarrassment between his grandmother and aunt, to the design of splendor, one by one, although it was for Jinxiu, but it was for their big house every time.

The old lady didn't have any kindness to their big house, so why did she finally ask his father to keep filial piety?

The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I felt.

What made me even more depressed was that I was the last one to know.

"Jinxiu, you have something to hide from your eldest brother, why didn't you leave a letter for your second brother? I'm the eldest brother, and I'm supposed to take care of you, not let you take it for me. ”

"Big brother, we are a family. Now that my father has resigned, we should twist it into a rope. ”

Zhong Lang changed the topic and said: "Dad will come back in a few days, and after Dad comes back, I should also leave, and then the family will ask the eldest brother." ”

"Second brother, don't worry, I will."

Zhong Ming thought of something, so he said:

"Recently, the court has not been stable, the emperor is eloquent and strategic, and he has long been planning to expand the territory in his heart, and now although he coexists harmoniously with the Western Xia, I think that in the near future, the Western Xia will also be unstable. At that time, the emperor will definitely welcome his father back. ”

Zhong Jinxiu thought about his eldest brother's thoughts, but felt that it was very possible.

"Although my father resigned, Zhong Guogong's title is still there, and the emperor has not taken away his father's title, so I think he has plans for the future."

A few people talked about something, it was close to noon, Zhong Jinxiu had eaten and was about to go back to his residence, but he heard someone from the concierge come to report that the Shen family's aunt was here.

Shen Mingze?

Zhong Ming asked people to welcome him in, and then asked Jinxiu, "What is he doing here?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu didn't know either.

Shen Mingze came in, met his brother-in-law, and said, "I'll pick up Jinxiu and go back." ”
