Date: 212-12-12

Jiang Fengde owed a debt and was about to speak, but Mrs. Cheng opened her mouth first: "If this can be done, then it is good, you hurry up and open the ancestral hall, first remove the name of the fifth brother and his wife from the family tree, go, quietly don't alarm people." Jiang Fengde hesitated, and Mrs. Cheng sighed sadly and said: "Don't think about luck, the siege will not be withdrawn like this, it's just to wait for the dawn to copy and inspect, hurry up." ”

Jiang Fengde's lips trembled a few times, he got up with difficulty and rubbed it to the end, and went out with a promise, Old Madam Cheng turned her head to look at the Liang family and ordered: "You go, call the third brother and the third brother's daughter-in-law, and take out how much cash there is in the house, and distribute it to the people in the family. ”

"Mother, why is this ......" Liang was halfway through speaking, he choked up and couldn't go on, and Mrs. Cheng commanded in a calm voice: "Don't cry, we can't mess up first, go, instead of letting people take away the silver, it's better to give it to the next person, so that the master and servant can go, go, it's dawn." Liang choked and bent his knees and agreed to go out,

Old Madam Cheng sighed slowly, turned her head to look at the second old man, Jiang Fengyi, and said in a low voice: "Look around, look outside...... No, is there a place that is not tightly fenced and can go out? Jiang Fengyi looked at his mother, agreed, hung his head and choked for a moment, knelt down and kowtowed: "It's all because the son is unfilial, and at my mother's age, she is still ...... like this."

"I can't blame you, my mother doesn't blame you, this is our Jiang family's life, it's my mother's life, go, go." Mrs. Cheng looked at her son and said gently, Jiang Fengyi stood up and bowed to the end, got up and hurriedly went out.

Old Madam Cheng motioned for Li Danruo to sit beside her, looked at her sadly and whispered, "You're right, it's all the blame for the wife, I didn't listen to it." ”

"I don't know the cause and effect of this, don't say that, wife, who has front and back eyes, let's ...... It's going to be fine. Li Danruo pale comforted, and Mrs. Cheng sighed: "Okay, let's not talk about this, what's the use of regretting?" Wei Yuanhou is timid and afraid, but people are very kind, the fifth brother goes to find him, nine times out of ten it can be done, wait a while, you go back to do some dots, take the gold and silver with you, those subordinates, can entrust don't be suspicious, if there is a trace of faith, just send it out, go back and close the courtyard door, if you and the fifth brother can escape, even if you can't excuse the Jiang family, it can be regarded as leaving one for the Jiang family, so as not to ......" Mrs. Cheng couldn't go on.

"Wife!" Li Danruo was sad and shouted in a low voice, Mrs. Cheng clapped her hand, raised her voice and called the tassel in, and ordered in a deep voice: "Take the rich and century-old huanghuali box, and then take the needle and thread." The tassel didn't ask much, agreed, turned around and went out, for a while, came in with a box, put it in front of Mrs. Cheng, turned around and went out to get a needle and thread, took a five-headed lampstand and put it on the kang table, and then retreated.

Mrs. Cheng opened the kang head cabinet, took out a very inconspicuous brass key from it, opened the Huanghuali box, and in the box, there was a thick stack of silver tickets, Mrs. Cheng took out all the silver tickets, ordered eight and said: "These few are left for Liuyun and them, and the rest will be sewn into your personal jacket." Li Danruo hurriedly stood up, turned his back slightly, took off the close-fitting thin jacket, took the scissors and lowered his head to remove the jacket.

Mrs. Cheng looked at Li Danruo with his hands and feet to open the cotton jacket, and handed her the silver tickets one by one, Li Danruo flew into the cotton jacket, one or two sheets, and sewed them with a needle and thread from the inside, the two were silent but cooperated tacitly, one handed the silver ticket, and the other was sewn in, and it was sewn straight for nearly an hour, and the tassel was reported outside, the old man came, and Mrs. Cheng commanded in a deep voice: "Please wait for a cup of tea in the old man's room." ”

Li Danruo had no distraction, she just lowered her head and sewed the padded jacket carefully, and sewed it for more than a quarter of an hour before sewing the padded jacket again, Mrs. Cheng watched her put on the padded jacket again, pointed to the side door and ordered: "You go back first," said, and pointed to the padded jacket on Li Danruo's body, and commanded in a low voice: "As long as you protect yourself, it doesn't matter." Li Danruo understood, bent his knees slightly and agreed, turned around and went out through the side door.

Li Danruo slowed down, and waited for Doulu to catch up with his skirt before hurriedly going back to his yard.

The lanterns in the courtyard swayed with the wind and swayed a festive red light, and the girls and mothers-in-law rushed out to greet her, and Cui Yu and Hong Ling also crowded among the crowd, looking at Li Danruo anxiously and fearfully.

Li Danruo turned his head to look at everyone and asked calmly, "Everyone has arrived?" Zhu Yi closed the courtyard door and came in. Zhu Yi hurriedly ran over and closed the courtyard door, then ran back with his skirt, and followed everyone into the weeping flower gate, Li Danruo stood on the front steps of the main house, looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The Jiang family has a big disaster, and the third master and the uncle, the fourth master, and the eighth master have all been ...... took it away, and now the outside of the house is surrounded by the Huwei Legion, and when it is dawn, it will be about to be copied and inspected, fat red, go and get the Durian Baizi Rosewood Box. ”

Fat Hong agreed to run into the house, and in a blink of an eye, he came out with a half-foot square rosewood box, Li Danruo motioned her to open it, stretched out his hand and clicked on the silver ticket inside, and turned his head to look at the crowd: "If the Jiang family is copied and inspected, most of the slaves will be sold, our master and servant, I can't bear to let the big guy follow me to suffer, in addition to the body deed, there are three or four thousand taels of silver tickets, fat red, bean green, you take everyone to divide the points, each person takes the deed by himself, silver, in this courtyard, there is one, divide it equally." ”

"Where's the fifth master?" Hongling screamed in horror, Li Danruo glanced at her and said, "I forgot, you and Cuiyu are not here, and the eldest lady also dismissed the old servants, you and Cuiyu hurriedly went to ask for the contract, and one of them gave them a hundred taels of silver first." ”

Reluctantly, she took two hundred taels of silver tickets, handed them to the two of them, and muttered: "Usually everyone can't live without their master, and if something happens, they have to run away!"

"Fat Red!" Li Danruo stopped the fat red sharply, turned his head to look at the pale Cuiyu and Hongling and said: "The two of you are slaves, if you let people copy and inspect it, it will be sold, that is, it will stay, you can't be with the master, hurry up and ask for the deed." Cui Yu burst into tears, threw herself on the ground, kowtowed a few times, turned around and ran, Hong Ling was stunned, and hurriedly ran out behind Cui Yu.

"Fat red, bean green, calculate the silver well." Li Danruo commanded in a low voice, lifted the curtain by himself, turned around and entered the house, Zhu Yi pulled the fat red and said in a low voice: "I have nowhere to go, the silver doesn't have to be distributed to me, I'll go make tea for my grandmother." With that, he turned around and went into the house to make tea for Li Danruo.

"You stupid girl!" Fat Red jumped to his feet, turned his head to look at Dou Lu and said, "Don't listen to her, in this courtyard, one counts as one, and they all score out." Dou Lu glanced at her coldly, and was about to speak, but Fat Red met her gaze and stomped her feet and said, "You are also a fool!" What did grandma say just now? If it is a copy inspection, we all have to be sold, you want to wait for grandma, but you can't help yourself, if you escape from the birth with the silver and the deed, and go back to find grandma, isn't the person coming back, the silver is also back? ”

Doulu breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's me who is confused, I'll be you...... Rotten heart and lungs. ”

"You're rotten in your heart and lungs!" Fat Red blocked it back, and Doulu smiled good-naturedly: "Okay, it's me who rotted my heart and lungs, and I blame you, hurry up and count the silver and divide it, it's not too early." ”

Fat Red and Dou Luzi carefully divided the silver and the deed one by one, but after turning it over, they didn't see the two of them deed, the two looked at each other blankly, Dou Lu went to the house and bit his ear and said, "Grandma must have other arrangements." ”

"I think so." Fat Hong nodded, the two shook the box, and looked at everyone: "Grandma just said, now that the Jiang family is in trouble, grandma is unwilling to burden everyone, this deed has also been given, and the silver has also been given, from now on, everyone will find a way out, if you have a conscience, grandma can naturally find it, just look at your conscience." After Fat Red finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Dou Lu and said, "Let's go in." ”

The two turned around and entered the house, standing in the courtyard full of maids, mother-in-law, you look at me, I look at you, stiffened for a while, standing in the corner of a mother-in-law with her head down and turned out, someone started, there were few people in the yard, Yu Makeup, Hu Yue and Green Calyx stood with their heads down, and after a while, Yu Makeup said in a low voice: "I won't go back, I have to be sold by my brother and sister-in-law when I go back, and I always have to leave someone to wait around my grandmother." ”

"I'm not going back." Hu Yue said simply,

"You better go back, I'll go back too, we all have a place to go, just leave outside to take care of it, that's good." Green Calyx pulled Hu Yue to persuade, Hu Yue hesitated, Yu Xiangqiang smiled: "Green Calyx is right, this is good, ah, this is my silver ticket, you help me collect it." ”

Huyue took the silver ticket, turned her head to look at the green calyx and said, "Then let's go in and talk to grandma, lest grandma think that we abandoned her and left, if that's the case, she will definitely be sad." The green calyx wanted to laugh but the tears fell, and she wiped her tears and nodded her head again and again.

The three of them lifted the curtain and entered the house, and said with a "huh": "Why don't you hurry up?" Didn't I tell you everything? Why are they all so bullish?!"

The corners of Li Danruo's eyes were moist, and he looked at a few maids and smiled gently: "Fat Hong told me, she said yes, stay in Qingshan, don't be afraid of no firewood, go back first, if you still want to follow me, in the future, come to me again." ”

"I don't go back, grandma also knows, I have nowhere to go, grandma always has to leave one or two by her side, I handed over the silver to Huyue to collect, I won't go back." Feather makeup on the front half of the trail,

"Well," Li Danruo responded with a smile, turned his head to look at Zhu Yi and said: "You go back, I know your heart, go back first, wait until it is stable, and then come to look for me, there is no place to go with Yu makeup, just have her by my side, you go quickly, it will be too late at dawn, the three of you, and Doulu, the four of you go together, Doulu's family is close, go to Doulu's house first, let Doulu's father and eldest brother send you back, let's go, I have fat red and feather makeup here, it's okay." ”

"Let's go, it's getting dawn!" Fat Hong waved his hand, Doulu and the others didn't dare to delay more, bent their knees and retreated, went back to put on their cloaks, and the four of them went out of the courtyard gate together, and followed everyone to the corner gate.

In front of the gate of Jiang's mansion, a silver-armored middle-aged general slowly tapped his fingers on the saber at his waist, listened to the sergeant's reply with an expressionless face, was stunned for a while, sighed heavily, turned around and beckoned a thirty-year-old scribe to command: "You know all the masters of the Jiang family, follow the past and see, as long as you ...... There are no masters, don't, just let them go, alas, the tree is falling and scattered, just go, God has the virtue of a good life, and it can't be killed. The scribe agreed, followed the sergeant, and hurried to the corner gate.
