"About after the Shangyuan Festival, after Yu Sheng's subordinates came to report, the house-filling in the house of the shopkeeper Wu quietly sent the inconspicuous maid at home to spend nearly a hundred taels of silver to buy rouge gouache in the Yuhua shop."

After all, he is a big treasurer, and he ordered people to pay more attention in secret, also out of caution.

One hundred taels of silver may not be a big amount, but if you can take one hundred taels of silver out to buy fat powder, it can be seen that you still have a lot of money in your hands.

And if it is not announced, the way of the silver will inevitably make people think about it.

Soon after that, the eldest sister fell ill, and then it was the Song family who contributed to the current situation.

In the end, he is a businessman, and he has more rules in his mind, and he and Sister A secretly wondered whether the shopkeeper Wu, who was in charge of this matter, would be driven by others to buy it, or use it with outsiders.

As for who the other party is, the first thing they suspect is naturally the Yun family.

There is no need to say these words explicitly, Old Man Song has already understood ten percent, and now he only asks: "Have you found any contacts?" ”

Song Ju shook his head.

Not only has I never found the slightest clue, but since then, the Wu family's life has still been tense. If it weren't for Yu Sheng's work, I would have trusted me, but I really had to suspect that the one hundred taels of silver to buy fat powder was a rumor. ”

Later, he thought that it was not surprising that Xu was a woman who hid some private money and used it for her own use, but in the end, Wu Daben was the original partner of Wu's shopkeeper, and it was not surprising that this stepmother was a little selfish.

So this already unclear line is just broken.

Song Chengming bowed slightly.

In this way, maybe you are suspicious.

"Could it be that the wall has ears and is on guard?" Zhang Meishou, who was only listening quietly on the side, spoke at this time.

Maybe it was Yu Sheng who learned about it at the beginning, and when it reached her uncle's ears, it was known by the Wu family, and then she cautiously put away her tail.

Even if she thinks too much, maybe the Wu family doesn't have so many cats, but there is one thing - the Yun family's line cannot be broken at present.

In the eyes of their grandfather, the most suspicious aspect of the Yun family was the competition between the two businesses.

This suspicion is very simple, so it is very easy to dispel.

But in her eyes, the Yun family is far more suspicious than it appears - the backer behind the Yun family is the Gu family, the governor of Huguang, and the Gu family and Jixiao were involved in collusion in the early years, and in this situation, she can't help but think about it.

My aunt also said that in recent years, the Song family has taken back a lot of business from the Yun family.

And the interests of the Yun family must also be related to the interests of the Gu family - the Gu family has done so much for the Yun family behind their backs, how can they not ask for anything in return?

What's more, she and Zhu Youzhu had an unspoken bold guess about the Gu family's intention to secretly support the Yun family's big owner.

Hearing her say this, the old man and Song Ju glanced at each other and asked, "Who did it when he stared at the Wu family, and who knew about it?" ”

In fact, he can trust his son's ability to do things, but since Zhen Zhen mentioned it, he naturally wants to ask more.

"Yu Sheng has always been cautious, and he will never startle the snake." Song Ju frowned slightly and pondered: "I only discussed it with Sister A-even Brother Yu, they didn't mention it." ”

Song Jinniang said: "When we discussed that day, there were only Ah Ju and my younger siblings in this house, and the maids were all branched out. ”

Song Ju was slightly stunned, and then subconsciously said: "Yes, Ah Zhi is also there, but she has always known the severity, and she should not leak the news." ”

Song Jinniang lowered her eyes and nodded silently.

"In any case, before finding other clues, the Yun family still has to keep an eye on it." Song Chengming said: "Go and ask someone to check carefully, have they secretly had dealings with people with different identities." ”

Those who understand this kind of evil art are likely to have hidden identities and easily lose sight.

For example, this "folk stranger" mute woman -

Zhang Meishou, who heard his grandfather's cognition, was silent on the side.

A few people were about to say something more, when the voice of a maid came from outside the curtain.

"The meal has been prepared, and the wife specially instructed the slave and maid to come and invite the old lady, the old man and his aunt and grandmother to the dining room to eat."

"Got it." Song Ju responded.

The maid blessed herself outside the curtain and withdrew.

"Father, you all go and eat in peace first." Song Jinniang said: "There are only these eyebrows at the moment, and it's not too late to talk about the rest later." ”

Song Chengming nodded.

Even if he has no appetite at this time, as the head of the family, there are clansmen staring at him on the surface, and secretly there may be eyes that assassinate Jin Niang watching, to borrow a phrase often said by the old lady of the in-laws - he still needs to be stable.

"I'll stay here and take care of my sister." The Song clan was still a little difficult to come back to his senses.

"It's fine."

Before Song Jinniang opened her mouth to refuse, the old man nodded in agreement.

A second girl is now looking like this, for fear of being seen differently.

The second -

Today's meal must be very rich, Zhen Zhen appeared in the Song family as a maid, and the second daughter didn't go, so he had a reason to let people send more delicious dishes.

People take food as the sky, and no matter how worrying the situation is, they can't wronged their children.

Zhang Meishou and the Song family talked to Song Jinniang for a while.

But without saying a few words, Song Jinniang fell asleep.

She is now supporting a weak body, and she is already strong.

Zhang Meishou slowly let go of the hand she was holding, and carefully pulled the thin quilt to cover her.

Seeing this scene, Song glanced at the sick and weak face of the sleeping eldest sister again, and tears flowed down again.

"Mother don't worry, my aunt will be fine." Zhang Meishou comforted softly and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

However, she didn't have much certainty in her mind.

Song nodded, glanced at the mute woman on the side, then looked at her daughter, and said, "Mother knows that she can't help much, and now she just wants to guard your aunt." Outside, your grandfather and your uncle are supporting you - you here, your mother doesn't ask much, she believes in you, and knows that you will do your best. ”

After Zhang Meishou was slightly stunned, he nodded solemnly.

Sure enough, about the mute woman, or more, the mother noticed something unusual.

But he didn't want to hide this thought, just told her - she believed her.

At this time, I chose to talk to her, which was intended to be her backing, so that she could do what she wanted without scruples.

"Thank you, Mother."

Zhang Meishou smiled at Song.

She suddenly felt a lot of confidence in her heart.

Of course, maybe she didn't need her mother to help her.

But with the trust and support of the mother, it is still different after all - sure enough, no matter how long a person has lived or how many things he has experienced, as long as he has the support of his mother, he will feel full of confidence.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then a maid brought a meal.
