In Cheng's house, Aunt Pan was having a headache at this time, and Cheng Li stood behind her, rubbing her temples for her.

"Cheng Hanbai will come back tomorrow, will he find out about the poisoning?" Pan Xiuying closed her eyes and said with a frown.

"If you want to check, King Duan would have checked it a long time ago. Don't worry, what Xiang Jin said to Ruyi, first, did not involve you and me, second, there was no witness, and third, even the poison was found by Ruyi herself. She bit us, and there was no evidence of it. At most, Xiang Jin is just fanning the flames, how much of a crime can it be? ”

Cheng Li comforted her and said: "Besides, Cheng Yu threw a mouse bogey, and if he takes care of the old lady, he will not let the young master find out about you." I guess that the old master must have comforted the young master on the grounds that Ruyi was dead. ”

His hand moved down from his temple, his lips also bit the tip of Pan Xiuying's ear, and whispered: "I knocked Cheng Haitang unconscious and dragged her head out, and no one saw it, even if she guessed, there was no evidence." You can take care of your home in peace! Obviously, it's not good, it's a big deal that after Xiang Jin was carried into the Xianwang Mansion, we secretly hollowed out the Cheng Mansion, and it was okay to leave again. ”

Pan Xiuying nodded, pressed Cheng Li's constantly moving hand, stood up and said in a coquettish voice: "At that time, you can't dislike my old Zhuhuang, and then go out to find a little girl to come back and be angry with me......"

Cheng Li blocked her with his mouth and didn't let her continue. Pan Xiuying pushed him away with a smile and asked, "Last time my brother took out the melted gold, how much did we get back?" ”

Cheng Li replied casually: "My uncle is tight, I didn't ask him for it, and he was happy to accept it all." ”

It turned out that most of the objects rewarded by the palace were made in silver, and could neither be bought nor sold, nor could they be melted down and recast, both of which were also illegal. Cheng's father and son, the rewards they got back, the treasury was full.

Once when he entered the warehouse, he happened to be seen by Pan Xiuying's brother Pan Jingcheng.

"Steward Cheng, these are all real money treasures!" Pan Jingcheng rubbed his hands with bright eyes.

"What's the use?" Cheng Li picked up one, pointed to the four words "silver bureau system" at the bottom and said, "Have you seen it?" With these words, gold and silver become waste! ”

"Eh~~ The housekeeper is wrong!" Pan Jingcheng said in a low voice: "I know a friend who specializes in opening private stoves for others, and he doesn't have to deal with any silver or gold games!" Melted into gold ingots, silver ingots, who knows what it looks like? Good housekeeper...... No! Good brother-in-law, you can give me two, and I will take them to turn them into silver flowers! ”

Cheng Li heard him say this, and his eyes rolled: If this road is proper, this shelf full of gold and silver ornaments will become real gold and silver with white flowers, yellow orange and orange, which is really a great thing! He easily took a pair of silver-gilt horses, which were still a reward from Cheng Yu in the early years, and I am afraid he himself did not remember it for a long time.

"This is a solid silver horse, and this weight is more than fifty taels. You took it quietly, and I don't need you to share it, you just don't say that I gave it. If you miss half a word, there will be no next time! Cheng Li grabbed a piece of cloth and wrapped the two horses and stuffed them into Pan Jingcheng's arms.

It's not how good Cheng Li is to Pan Jingcheng, he has his own ideas. This is the first time to test the waters, if something happens, let Pan Jingcheng do things alone.

How dare Pan Jingcheng say the word "no", his head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, he bent his waist with a smile and ran away.

Since opening this jumping door, Pan Jingcheng has been like a cat who has tasted fishy, and he has come to the Cheng's treasury every three or five times to rub oil and water, and Cheng Li also began to ask him to melt gold. Pan Xiuying also turned a blind eye, and let her brother and Cheng Li mess around.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Hanbai came back from the border pass. He first went to the backyard to meet the old grandmother, reported his father's body, food and clothing, and told his grandmother that the girl had a dislike for the eldest girl and poisoned and framed the eldest girl. didn't mention that Ruyi was dead, so I didn't have to think about it anymore.

Grandmother didn't say anything, just told her not to spare the girl. Cheng Hanbai also said that Sun Yanxi was preparing for a big wedding, and it was inconvenient for the eldest girl to live in Sun's mansion, so his grandmother told him to go and pick up the girl when he was free. Even if this poisoning matter is over, Hugh will mention it again.

Pan Xiuying made up her mind at this time, and only hoped that the king would send someone to carry the incense as soon as possible, and if she could be a side concubine, she would naturally fly on the branches to be a phoenix, even if she was a lady in the palace, she was a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and it was much more noble than ordinary people.

The next day, Cheng Hanbai went to the Governor's Mansion to report to his post, received the official uniform token, and hurried to Sun's Mansion with a gift. The brother and sister stayed for dinner in Sun's mansion, Cheng Hanbai and Sun Yanxi were both new officials who had just been transferred back to Beijing, and the two exchanged words for a long time, until they were still unsatisfied.

On the night of Begonia's return to Chengfu, Xie Ruizhu also revisited the old place and entered the Begonia house through the window.

"Have you seen your grandmother?" Xie Ruijiao was worried about Haitang's difficult relationship in Cheng Mansion.

Haitang nodded: "My brother has already told me, my father and grandmother have said this, after all, it is my cousin, and it is not easy for my grandmother to turn her face." ”

Xie Ruijiao smiled and pinched her face: "Now that your brother is in charge, you don't have to be afraid of her." However, your brother is a stunned young man, and you usually have to remind him more. If there is someone from me in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, I will pay more attention to him, so that he will have less trouble during the period when he first takes office. ”

Haitang couldn't help but sigh: "He's only a year younger than you, how can he be a little worse than you!" ”

"He grew up in a military camp, with simple relationships and a simple mind. I like his straightforwardness and sincerity the most, you know, the most important thing in this officialdom is to be sophisticated and tactful, and the most lacking is frankness and sincerity. Your brother's pure heart is a rare treasure. Xie Ruijiao praised Hanbai like this for the first time, which made Haitang surprised and moved, and he was also impressed by his brother.

"When I brought you back, the hawthorn tree was just full of clusters of hawthorn flowers," Xie Ruijiao took Begonia's hand, and the two stood by the window next to each other.

"yes, the hawthorns are ripe now."
