Chapter Seventy-Four: Family Letters
Several people didn't know why he did this, they all looked confused, at this time, Huang Fuxue suddenly spoke, "Chen San, August 13, borrow five taels of silver from rice, but have not repaid, Xiaoliu, on the second day of the eighth month, borrow three taels of silver from rice and have not repaid......" snapped and closed the account book, "Do you want me to continue reading?" ”
Several people immediately changed their faces when they heard this, how could they forget this, you look at me, I look at you, at a loss, Huangfu Xue didn't seem to see it, and handed the account book to the shopkeeper, "Originally, Miss Ben didn't plan to ask for these arrears for the sake of relatives, but you have to make such an ugly scene, so there is no need for Miss Ben to be this good person." The shopkeeper looked at them, if they can't pay back the money today, they will be sent directly to the government. ”
"It's not good, Second Miss, we know it's wrong, please, you just let us go this time, we promise that there will be absolutely no second time." Chen San was shrewd, and when he saw that something was wrong, he immediately lowered his posture and stepped forward to beg for mercy. Huangfu Xue didn't look at them and went back to the shop directly. The shopkeeper found a job and began to search their bodies, and when they saw that they didn't even have a copper plate on them, they simply sent people directly to the government. When the onlookers saw that the excitement was gone, they dispersed.
In the palace, it took Gonggong Li half an hour to find out Concubine Zheng's eyeliner, and when Xiao Liuzi was brought into the main hall, he was still blindfolded, and after hearing Gonggong Li's questioning, he secretly screamed badly, and then lay on the ground and began to admit his mistake, "The slave should die, the slave should die, please spare the slave this time." ”
"Got around you? The miscellaneous family spared you, who spared the miscellaneous family. Gonggong Li remembered the emperor's face, waved his hand and let the little sixth son drag him down, and after dealing with the little sixth son, Gonggong Li went to the imperial study, "Your Majesty, the matter has been dealt with,"
"Hmm." The emperor nodded and didn't say anything more, but Gonggong Li knew that the emperor was blaming him for not doing well, so he stood aside with his head down.
"It's been a few days since the flooding in Jiangnan, and I don't know when it will end, I feel guilty every time I see the excerpts brought by Jiangnan, I can't wait to suffer for those people, but I can't do anything, I'm really angry."
"Your Majesty, although you are the king of a country, things in the will of heaven are really beyond control, so don't blame yourself too much."
Today's matter is so big, Huang Fuyue soon got the news, I heard that Huang Fuxue not only drove all her people away but also sent them to prison, I was really angry and hateful, the first thought of getting the news was to go to my father's side to complain, and when I turned around, the maid reminded, "Miss, the slave maid heard that the third lady's people were also driven away by the second miss." Why don't you discuss with the third lady before making a decision. ”
Huang Fuyue remembered her father's previous attitude towards her, and the incident just a few days ago, if he spread out the matter this time, he would not be reasonable, and after hearing about it, his father might not blame the second child, and he would say that her, if so, wouldn't it be worth the loss. After thinking about it, he felt that what the maid said was also reasonable, and after hesitating, he turned around and went to the courtyard of the third child.
At this time, Huangfu Yun also knew about this matter, although he was angry in his heart, he also knew that they didn't take care of this matter, if he rashly complained to his father, I was afraid that the gains would outweigh the losses, plus his belly is getting bigger and bigger now, some things are better not to be too prominent, as long as he gives birth to a son, what is a mere silk village, and then the entire Huangfu family will be his.
After figuring this out, Huang Fuyun went to the pavilion, sat on a stool, and waited for Zhonglin to peel grapes and feed him while admiring the flowers. Huang Fuyue saw this scene when she came over, although Huang Fuyue looked down on him so unangry, but I have to say that Huang Fuyun was so spoiled by her husband, she was still a little envious.
Thinking of Wu Hu, I felt a little lost in my heart. Huang Fuyun saw her when he turned his head, and knew at a glance what she was thinking about, but he still pretended not to know anything and stood up with a smile, "Why is the eldest sister here, hurry up and do it inside." The sun was too strong these two days, and the sun was very hot. Coupled with the fact that this in my stomach does not stop, I am getting less and less appetizing. ”
Huang Fuyue glanced at the peel next to him and the remaining pastries with contempt in his heart, this third child is really ignorant, for a child who has not yet landed, it is really boring to be so careless all day long, if it were usual, he might turn around and leave, but today, she gritted her teeth and endured it for the sake of the shop.
"Brother-in-law, don't you have to go to the academy today? Why have I seen my brother-in-law at home all day these days, is my brother-in-law no longer planning to rely on the imperial examination, and is ready to stay at home and take care of the children all the time? Huangfu Yue's words were full of sarcasm, and Zhong Lin listened to it silently, and seemed to have gotten used to it. But Huang Fuyun stopped doing it, and her husband could bully him as much as he wanted, but others didn't want to bully him, especially if this person was still her eldest sister.
is the concubine of the Huangfu family, why does he have to be high all day long, isn't it just because he is older, but unfortunately, she is really useless except for her age.
"Eldest sister, I don't like to hear this, no matter how Zhong Lin says it, he is still a showman, but my poor brother-in-law is just a subordinate of our Huangfu family, and I don't know how a person with such a high vision as the eldest sister fell in love with a lowly subordinate in the first place." Huang Fuyun didn't speak mercilessly, and deliberately hit Huang Fuyue's wound.
In the past, when only the eldest sister got married alone, she didn't think Wu Hu's identity was good, but when the second eldest married a big official, the third married a Xiucai, and only after he married a subordinate, Huangfu Yue cared more and more about these things, and Huangfu Yunming knew that he was deliberately blocking him by saying this.
"Third child, you are too much, do you talk to the eldest sister like this?" Huang Fuyue looked displeased, "No matter who he is, you have to call him a big brother-in-law, you say that he is lowly, then when you call him, aren't you also lowly, and what are you proud of, but you are married to a showman, just his man who revolves around women all day long, it is estimated that this is the only point in this life, compared with the second child, he is nothing." ”
"You...... The eldest sister said that I was excessive, so you weren't too much? You say that about my husband, you wait for me to go to my father and judge me now. Huang Fuyun stood up holding his stomach. , Zhong Lin was worried that he would hurt himself and hurriedly got up to help him, although he also hated Huang Fuyue's arrogance in his heart, but for the sake of his future life at home, he still opened his mouth.
"Lady, the eldest sister definitely doesn't have a heart, don't be angry, be careful of the child in your belly." It's okay if Zhong Lin didn't persuade him, but Huang Fuyun became even more angry when he persuaded him, "What do you mean by this, who am I doing this for, if you weren't so discouraged and looked down upon, would I have argued with my eldest sister for you?" ”
Huangfu Yun pushed him away and went back to the room directly, Huangfu Yue finally remembered the purpose of coming here today, but after experiencing this, this will make him pull down his face and say that he really can't do this, hesitated for a moment and turned around and took the maid back to the room.
"Miss, don't be angry, the third miss is like this, if you are really angry, wouldn't it be his way." The maid persuaded in a low voice, then took a cup of tea and handed it over, "Miss drink tea." ”
"You're right, that idiot of the third child holds his stomach all day long, it's really hard to imagine, if one day the child in his belly has an accident, or he is born hungry and a money-loser, I don't know how wonderful his face will be at that time."
"What the eldest lady said is that the slave maid heard that the third lady relied on the piece of meat in her stomach to be powerful in the house all day long, and the people in the kitchen were all tossed by her, but she knew that the master's dedication to his grandson was that he dared not speak out."
"Really?" Huang Fuyue suddenly laughed when she thought of something, and then leaned into the maid's ear and whispered a few words, and then the maid left the room with a smile.
Huang Fuxue didn't know anything about this side of the matter, maybe even if she was clear, she wouldn't care, she came back in the evening was that she received a letter from An Mingchen from Jiangnan, and was sitting in the room reading the letter at this time, the letter was very long, two large pieces of paper, on the letter An Mingchen thanked her for the food she sent, and also said some about the current situation in Jiangnan, and also said a little about Li Yuanwai's affairs, although Huangfu Xue had never met them, but he was still very sympathetic when he thought of what happened to them.
The impermanence of the world may be like this, who would have thought that so many things could happen overnight, and this seems to be the meaning. After reading the letter, Huang Fuxue stared at the dark night, and suddenly missed the man, it turned out that some feelings would come to her in this lonely night. A little uneasy but a little addictive, it turns out that there is a person who misses this feeling.
How to say it, it's like a poppy, knowing that it is poisonous and addictive, but you can't help but want to get close to him......
Caiyu came in with a teacup from outside, saw her sitting at the table in a daze, and didn't bother to put the teacup directly in front of the table and turned around to clean up the bed, and when Huangfu Xue came back to her senses, Mingyu had already cleaned up the bed.
"How have you followed Dr. Chang for the past two days, are you still used to it?" Huang Fuxue has been a little busy in the past two days, and she didn't bother to ask him about it. Caiyu was very happy to see Miss thinking about herself like this, "Thank you Miss for your concern, the slave is very happy with Doctor Chang." ”
After speaking, his face turned red, but he thought of something, and stepped forward with some concern, "Miss, the slave maid heard about what happened today, you have to be careful recently, in case the eldest lady and the third miss find someone to retaliate......"
"Don't worry, no matter how stupid they are, they won't do me bad at this juncture." Huangfu Xue vetoed this statement without thinking about it. Caiyu looked puzzled when she heard this, "But ......"
"Okay, I have my own plan for this matter, you can go back and rest first when the hour is not early." Seeing that the young lady really seemed to have her own attention, Caiyu said no more and got up and left the room. After only Huang Fuxue herself was left in the room, she took out the letter and read it again. Thinking of the situation in Jiangnan, she took a pen and paper and began to reply to An Mingchen.
Now everyone sees the continuous heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the people are displaced and homeless, everyone is thinking about how to prevent floods, but they have never thought about what they will do if they encounter a drought?
