Li Yuanzhong's family didn't know that this was a trick deliberately set up by Yang Qiqi, she went back to the Yuguo Mansion like a meritorious, and as soon as she entered the door, she told Mrs. Li about the abnormal behavior that had happened in the past two days.

The little girl said that the seventh girl was used to being big. The slave asked her again how she had been so simple lately. The little girl didn't say much, only said that the money in her hand was tight. The slave and maid also said that they would ask the lady to be the master. As a result, the little girl seemed to have done something wrong, and did not let the slave and maid tell you, Madame. Li Yuanzhong's family smiled all over his face, and said: "The slave and maid are pondering, if you want to hide it from your wife, there must be nothing good to do." ”

Mrs. Li thought of her 300,000 taels of white flowers, and her heart felt like blood. Immediately, he couldn't sit still, so he asked Li Yuanzhong's family to return to the other courtyard first, and he had to think about how to open this opening.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Li decided to let Yang Yuyan go to Yang Qiqi first to find out the situation.

On the second day, Yang Qiqi came out of the women's school, and Yang Yuyan waited outside the door early, wanting to go back to the other courtyard with Yang Qiqi.

Sitting in the carriage, Yang Yuyan was not in a hurry to talk about business, and asked Yang Qiqi first: "Seventh sister, at the beginning of next month, on the birthday of the old lady of the Chen family, Miss Chen can give you a post?" ”

Yang Qiqi hadn't heard of it, shook his head and said: "Thinking about the last time, the girl of the Chen family and the Yongxing County Mansion must not welcome me to go, how can you give me a post!" ”

Yang Yuyan said: "My fourth sister and fifth sister have already received posts, and even the ninth sister has also arrived. There are still some times around you, maybe I'm going to post to you later. ”

Yang Qiqi didn't care about this very much, she didn't really want to go to the Yongxing County Mansion to join in the fun. This kind of banquet, taking advantage of the large number of people, always wants to produce some moths. Yang Qiqi has experienced too many times in his previous life, either the female relatives of various families compare with each other, or they come together in groups to ridicule those who are not from a good background, or say the rights and wrongs of others. Left and right, the most serious thing is the socialization of the hairpin's house.

"There's nothing in the way of posting, there's no more than me, and a lot less than me." Yang Qiqi said casually.

Yang Yuyan smiled softly and asked her again, "What have the seventh sisters been busy doing lately?" ”

Yang Qiqi thought about it, Yang Yuyan asked like this, most likely to ask her about going to sea. immediately smiled and said, "I didn't do anything, either in women's school, or in the other courtyard to read books and write." ”

Yang Yuyan stared at Yang Qiqi with a pair of eyes, and said, "Seeing that it is about to enter winter, it used to be convenient to make clothes in the needlework room at home. Now that you live alone in another courtyard, do you have any new clothes? ”

Yang Qiqi said: "You don't have to make new clothes every year, last year because of the time, I made a lot of new clothes before and after." This winter is enough, so why bother making new ones, you can't wear them all! ”

Yang Yuyan's face sank, and she complained: "Seventh sister, you are going to be with me!" You don't have enough money lately. ”

Yang Yuyan's angry and blaming look looked particularly hypocritical in Yang Qiqi's eyes.

"Why did the third sister say that?"

"I know it all! The money in your hand is not enough, the expenses of the other courtyard are extremely simple, and you still refuse to tell your mother, we are a family, what are you doing like this. Yang Yuyan was reproached with bitterness, and there was even a little loss and sadness flashing in her eyes.

Yang Qiqi smiled secretly in his heart, but his face frowned quietly, and said with a little emptiness: "Third sister, how do you know!" ”

"Of course I have what I know, and nothing else! Even if you haven't even made new clothes for winter, you can see it! ”

Yang Qiqi secretly snorted coldly, and almost asked Yang Yuyan to say: "Third sister, don't tell your mother, I can handle it." ”

Where could Yang Yuyan let Yang Qiqi cover up the past so easily, and immediately said with a slight anger: "What do you mean you can handle." If something big happens, don't carry it alone. How much can you carry! Yang Yuyan said, almost urgently guiding Yang Qiqi and said: "You tell me the truth, Seventh Sister, is there something wrong with Gongzi He?" ”

Yang Qiqi looked stunned when asked, and after a long time of relief, he asked Yang Yuyan in a daze: "Third sister, how do you know!" ”

When Yang Yuyan heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and said, "How could I not know!" Right now, this is one important matter. These 300,000 taels of silver are difficult for you to deal with, and beside you, what is the big thing that you can't deal with? ”

Yang Qiqi's expression darkened, and he whispered to Yang Yuyan: "Third sister, don't tell your mother." My Senior Brother He's boat was overturned by the wind and waves, and the ship, the goods, and the people were all drowned in the sea. Not to mention that our silver can't come back, the He family still has to pay a large amount of pensions to those crew members. In addition, this time with the ship, there are three or five big shopkeepers, and they are really empty of people and money. He had lost so much, and I couldn't get him to pay it back, so I thought I'd make up for it myself. ”

When Yang Yuyan heard what Yang Qiqi said, she was relieved at first, she was not distressed at all for her biological mother to lose 300,000 taels of silver, but she was extremely happy, gloating that Yang Qiqi had such a thing that was difficult to turn over in front of Mrs. Li! Hearing that Yang Qiqi was going to make up for the 300,000 taels, she couldn't help but react greatly to stop Yang Qiqi and said, "That's not good!" Seventh sister, how much silver is that! You don't even have private money, where can you get 300,000 taels of silver? Not to mention anything else, the He family has suffered such a big loss now, what will you Senior Brother He use to compensate for you? Besides, who can come up with so much money at once? Without saying a word, Yang Yuyan showed her feet first.

Yang Qiqi made a bitter face and whispered: "I'm afraid that my mother can't accept such a blow, and I can only try my best to make up for it!" ”

Yang Yuyan objected vigorously: "No, I can't blame you for this matter." In business, there are always losses and gains, I advise you to go back and talk to your mother, otherwise when your mother knows about it in the future, I don't know how sad you will be to take this matter yourself! ”

Yang Qiqi shook his head again and again, "We are children, and we should make our mother happy and happy." If you let your mother know that the 300,000 taels of real children have been lost, I don't know how to feel sorry for her. I'll make it up myself. ”

Yang Qiqi's attitude is extremely tough, no matter what Yang Yuyan says, it looks like water can't be splashed and needles can't be pricked.

Yang Yuyan was secretly angry in her heart, but she was afraid that if she persuaded her two more words, Yang Qiqi would see that something was wrong, so she naturally wouldn't say anything.

When she arrived at the other courtyard, Yang Yuyan sat hastily for a while, and then she couldn't wait to go back to the Yuguo Mansion and talk to Mrs. Li about the 300,000 taels of water.

When Mrs. Li heard this, her head buzzed and she almost fainted. Not to mention anything else, when Yang Jingji was in the beginning, she lost a lot of her private money inside and out. Even if she was rich, she couldn't afford the loss of 300,000 taels of silver.

Yang Yuyan only told Mrs. Li about this matter, and she never mentioned the rest of the things that Yang Qiqi wanted to make up for the money herself. Mrs. Li was so regretful and angry that she couldn't call Yang Qiqi over immediately, and she had the heart to open the knife.

Seeing her mother so angry, Yang Yuyan's heart was relieved of most of it. I couldn't help but remind Mrs. Li: "Mother, even if you are angry again, don't go to the seventh sister now." She must have known that I was speaking to you. Also, don't tell the seventh sister that I said it, and you just said that you inquired from the outside. ”

Mrs. Li naturally knows what Yang Yuyan is worried about, and now she can't tear her face with Yang Qiqi, Yang Yuyan is also Yang Qiqi's serious sister. It happened that Yang Qiqi was receiving the grace of the Queen Mother, and she was a female scholar again. Yang Yuyan naturally wants to avoid its edge.

Mrs. Li held her forehead, her brain jumped and hurt, and after a while, she waved her hand at Yang Yuyan and said, "I know in my heart, you go down first, let me think about it." ”

After sending Yang Yuyan away, Mrs. Li was furious and asked Li Kangping's family to go to Li Yuanzhong's house immediately.

Li Yuanzhong's family didn't dare to delay Mrs. Li, and immediately ran back from the other courtyard quietly.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, a teacup was thrown directly on Li Yuanzhong's body. The hot tea and tea foam all fell on Li Yuanzhong's clothes and pants.

Li Yuanzhong's family was a little stunned by Mrs. Li's beating, and immediately knelt down to Mrs. Li and said to him: "Madam, what did the slave do wrong, provoked you to be so angry!" ”

In fact, if you say that you are wrong, this matter has nothing to do with Li Yuanzhong's family. But Mrs. Li was angry in her heart and had nowhere to vent, so she vented all with Li Yuanzhong's family and said, "What's the use of me keeping you!" You're blind in the courtyard! That girl lost all my 300,000 taels, but what about you! You don't know at all."

Li Yuanzhong's family was bitter, and hurriedly explained to Mrs. Li: "Madam, either the seventh girl is too disciplined, or she is too cunning. The slave maid has been in the other courtyard for half a year, and she hasn't seen anything. These days, the seven girls are frugal and frugal, is it just for your 300,000 taels of silver? Madam, did you say that the Seventh Girl was afraid that you would be angry and wanted to quietly put this silver on the back, so she didn't dare to let you know. The maids around her didn't dare to say a word? ”

Mrs. Li thought about it for almost a moment after being reminded by Li Yuanzhong's family, and finally said, "You call Yang Qiqi to me now." The 300,000 taels of silver, no matter what she thinks, she has to spit it back to me without a penny! ”

Li Zhongping's family nodded in horror, and immediately returned to the other courtyard to invite Yang Qiqi.

In fact, Yang Qiqi at this moment has calculated that Yang Yuyan will definitely not be able to sit still, and when she goes back to the Yang family, she has to tell Mrs. Li everything about it. She was waiting for someone from the Yuguo Mansion to come to the door to invite her.
