For no reason, there is an extra valuable. Sheng Mingzhu is not a fool, how could he not see it.

"The eldest lady has no heart to tolerate people", Sheng Mingzhu looked at the agate in her hand, which was red, but the fetal heart in the middle was transparent, "Then Mother Li and the two were sent by her." I've always been lazy, and I've been walking around now......" She looked at it for a moment, and found something under her hand, and turned the agate over, only to find that there was a seal engraved on the bottom, which was pulled with a small lock.

The word [Wei] in Lishu.

"Something from the royal family?" It's really bloody, Sheng Mingzhu really feels a little incredible, they haven't been here for half a month, and even the grudge with life has not reached this point.

Huang's mother listened to Mingzhu's words, and quickly glanced up, she was illiterate, but when she heard the word royal, she also knew that the matter was serious.

"Then I'll throw this thing away!"

Sheng Mingzhu shook his head, "Put it there, the gifts that others gave us don't have to be returned to others empty-handed." "You have to bring some generous gifts back.

Yun Niang has always been gentle, but now she sits on the chair, her chest rises and falls, "I respect her as a sister-in-law, and I have endured it many times." Now it's getting even worse, and such valuables are stuffed into me because they want my life. ”

"Forbearance is a plan." Sheng Mingzhu has always thought so, you will only make others think that you are afraid.

——

A new batch of snail dai and cloth from the cloth village were delivered.

There are a few shops under Ruan's hands, but now several shops are not doing well, and a lot of Chen cloth is piled up there, and the shopkeeper has no choice but to send it to the house.

"That's all this month?" Ruan Shi looked at the account book, "Shopkeeper Sun, don't fool me, the old lady can tell me when she was housekeeper before." This cloth village has been making gold from the day before. ”

Shopkeeper Sun smiled bitterly, "The little ones don't dare to deceive the big lady." The rain before had flooded the fabrics that had been properly disposed of, and now they were all as brittle as a piece of paper, and no one wanted to give them away for free. Looking at the flower satin behind him, "The rest of them have become defective products, and they can't be sold." ”

Ruan Shi was distraught, and threw down the snail Dai in his hand, "Okay, okay, I know." You go down. ”

Shopkeeper Sun retired. Cuizhu next to him carefully packed up his things, and Ruan asked, "I haven't seen the master for a day today, what about the others?"

"In the morning in Aunt Hui's house, at noon, the fourth son of the Wu family often came with him, and the master went out with him."

In an instant, Ruan's pupils gathered again, and after a long time, he inhaled and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's it, even if the sky falls, he can only die in the crotch of a woman." Blind my silver in vain......" The two were talking, but someone knocked on the door, Ruan Shi made a look, and Cui Zhu stepped to open the door.

"Sister Zhen'er...... "The subordinates in the house are subordinates, but the subordinates are still masters and slaves." Like Ni Zhen'er is like half a master, "Why did you come suddenly?" ”

Ni Zhen'er's expression at this moment is by no means the bearing of a housemaid on weekdays, she is standing outside, her lips are a little dry, how can she look like this in the past. Cuizhu had a good relationship with her, so she asked, "Why does your face look like this, what's wrong?" ”

"Is the Grand Lady here?" Ni Zhen'er asked.

Ruan's was inside, and he had heard that Ni Zhen'er was coming, and he didn't want to deal with it. But when it was read, it was the person in front of the old lady, so he paced out with small steps, pretending to fix his hair, "I also said, who reads me, you are not waiting in front of the old lady, why did you come to me?" ”

"Something is wrong, ma'am!" , Thinking of the old lady's face just now, Ni Zhen'er couldn't help shaking her legs now.

She even suspected that if she hadn't served the old lady for many years, the old lady would have even killed herself and kept her mouth shut.

Ruan's couldn't help but get up, Ni Zhen'er understood her temperament, relying on the people around the old lady, no one had anything to fear, but now her face turned white with fright, "What's wrong?" ”

"The old lady is idle today, and she wants to go to the treasury to sort out the dowry and dry it, but I didn't expect that there was something missing." The more Ni Zhen'er spoke, the more anxious she became, "The old lady is now anxious about all the old diseases, so let me hurry up to find the eldest lady." ”

On the side, Ruan's heart became excited. She said why she was so excited, it was this, she had planned to go to catch the stolen goods in a few days, so as not to appear anxious.

Unexpectedly, the old lady found it out herself, so it would be better.

"Is it very valuable to throw away something?" Ruan Shi said, "Let my mother-in-law tell me what she looks like in a while, and I will ask the people in the house to search for it." Our house is heavily guarded, and people from outside can't enter, so it can only be that the hands of any of the subordinates are not clean. ”

"Don't dare, don't you dare to do this!" Ni Zhen'er waved her hand, and then squinted at the people around her, before she said in Ruan's ear, "It's not an ordinary thing." It was when the old lady was awarded the title of Mrs. Yipin, the emperor's reward, the royal thing, if it was passed out and lost, it would be terrible-" Ni Zhen'er didn't say any more, and hurriedly urged, "Big lady, let's go." ”

Ruan Shi was a little embarrassed by what she said.

She was angry that Liu Yun had restrained her son, and because Sheng Ruoqiu wanted to protect them with a good prestige that day, she wanted to give one of the three rooms a dismount. The agate also found a valuable item from the treasury at random, but if it was given by the emperor, Ruan's heart couldn't help but tremble.

originally thought that the old lady might drive the Liu family out, or she was selling. But if this incident happens, according to her resolute way of doing things in the past, Liu will not even be able to save his life.

"I'll go."

Old Mrs. Song's face was pale, and she was sitting in the room.

In front of him is a cup of tea from hot to warm, and below is a green and red subordinate who knelt on the ground. Ruan Shi saw such a scene when she followed Ni Zhen'er to arrive, and she sighed in her heart, "Old lady-"

Old Taijun Song heard her voice, and her eyes, which were originally closed, lifted slightly, and after a while, she got up from her position again. Ni Zhen'er wiped the sweat on her forehead because she ran fast just now, and hurriedly helped her.

Ruan's heart was flustered, but unexpectedly, the old lady stroked Ni Zhen'er with one hand, and the crutch in the other hand suddenly shot out, directly hitting her arm.

"Mother-in-law!" Ruan Shi was defenseless at all, and he couldn't help it after being hit with a stick.

Song Lao Taijun was also a female military general back then, and her hands were not light. Ruan Shi hugged his arms, flustered, and his eyes didn't dare to look at Mrs. Song, only his heart was pounding, "I don't know what my daughter-in-law did wrong?" ”

In the past, the Ruan family was about to make trouble, but now they can't help but panic.

"I'll hand over the storeroom and the home feed to you for safekeeping—what did you promise me then, and you look at it now?" If it weren't for saving her face in front of her subordinates, Mrs. Song just wanted people to press her to the ground and smoke, "It's really a subordinate who stole it, and if you don't understand it and sell it in an antique shop on the street, our whole family will have to eat it!" ”

Whether the things given by the emperor are good or not, who knows.

After the establishment of the Great Wei, there were a total of three grandfathers. One of them was because he smashed the golden dragon cup rewarded by the emperor, and was involved in the crime of contempt for the emperor's prestige by the court's ministers, and the Nuoda family was completely wiped out in an instant. She naturally knows the reason for her political stance, but who let him be caught with pigtails?

"DID YOU KNOW! You and I can't afford to bear this big sin of losing our heads! ”

Ruan's face was white, and he didn't dare to say anything. The more she looked at it, the more disappointed she became, thinking that her face was white with fear, and she only hated that she was blind at the time, and found such a continuation for her eldest son who couldn't afford anything.

"Old lady, the eldest lady has things to deal with in the house, and the treasury is not visited all the year round, so it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions."

Ni Zhen'er has served the old lady for many years, so she naturally knows that she is not really angry with the eldest lady, otherwise it would not be a matter of just knocking with a cane.

Old Taijun Song snorted, Ruan Shi hugged his arms, and only woke up at this moment, his head hung slightly, "Daughter-in-law will let her subordinates search room by room in a while." ”

Mrs. Song couldn't help but be disappointed when she heard that she was just such an opinion at the moment.

"In the shop outside, the person in charge of purchasing has already detained it before, and there is nothing abnormal. I've never been to a pawnshop or anything like that. She said, "There are only those who are left to serve in the house, it is easier to do, I don't go out of the house on weekdays, and if I steal it, it is stuffed in the next person's room, and you don't make too much of a fuss yourself." ”

The province didn't know it yet, but all the troublemakers knew it.

Ruan nodded, and the old lady Song drove her out, and asked Ni Zhen'er to prepare court clothes for herself.

"The old lady wants to enter the palace?" She asked, and quickly took the court clothes again.

Mrs. Song sat in front of the mirror, closed her eyes slightly, it was Ni Zhen'er's aunt Cheng Niang who served her in the past, and she knew what she wanted after serving her all her life. Ni Zhen'er is far behind, and maybe her face is too bad today, Ni Zhen'er's hands seem to be frightened and don't listen to the command, and her hands are slightly heavy when she takes the grade hairpin of the woman.

The folds in Old Taijun Song's eyebrows became heavier and heavier, "That's it, don't go, you can go down." ”

Ni Zhen'er loosened the black and white hair on her head, pulled it into an upward bun, and quickly stepped back down.

After she left, Mrs. Song sighed, she wanted to enter the palace to discuss with her daughter, but she felt that more things were better than less. If it was really done by those who did not agree with the Sheng family, it would have revealed the opportunity. The more I think about it, the more headache I have - when Da Wei first came before, their Sheng family was an upstart.

But now there are more and more upstarts, and there are clear factions in the court. With the royal vein of the eldest princess, she supported the emperor on the surface, but she didn't know what to think in her heart. The families each hold military power and military power, and they seem to be calm on the surface, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent, and each one wants to eat the other.

and Guan Ping, that bastard.

I wondered if it would be because Sheng Qian returned home and merged the state's production account books in his hands. That was the only account that several major families had joined forces to make, and they wanted to push out the Shengguo Mansion to explore the wind first-just like a wave being struck out of a calm lake, the ripples suddenly rose, and the old lady of Song couldn't calm down.

——

Ruan Shi led people to start searching each room, for fear of being seen, she put Yun Niang's in the last one, searched the second room where she was like a transparent person in the house, and even checked the small Buddha hall where the Song family lived, and then began to walk to the courtyard of the third room.

She was flustered, but now she is even more thinking about getting this three-room family, otherwise her fear today will be in vain. All the way to the three-room courtyard.

At that time, Lingzhu was sitting on a small stool, and Sheng Qian had just come back and taught her how to post in the courtyard.

"Your stomach is rotten after drinking every day, why can't you?" Yun Niang was grinding ink for the father and daughter on the side, her hair fell to the side of her ear, she helped her up, and asked, "Didn't they all say a few days ago that they took the money, can they report on their work?" ”

Sheng Qian hung his head and taught his daughter to write the words of the iron painting silver hook with a pen: [Corpse Vegetarian Meal]

Lingzhu looked up at her father, and he sighed slightly. Under the sun, his whole face was half yin and half yang, but he unexpectedly felt a sense of compassion, "I am also a little ...... I don't understand. ”

It's not that he feels sorry for the money he sent out, he has already dealt with the officials of the ministry, so he just waits.

But the man dodged today, and was forced to ask that there was no way, only to be told that it was the official servant who directly pressed his debriefing letter.

There were six parts of the imperial court, which meant mutual restraint. But even the places where officials are handed over are all tied up by interests, and even the servants of the ministry are involved. Is there any salvation from this?

"What about the emperor? The lord is also an official recorded in the register, and now that he has arrived, the emperor can't think of it? ”

When I think about it, I will be stumped by other things, and the current emperor is so easy to be. He didn't want his family to be bothered, Sheng Qian smiled, "I think so too, so I'm waiting patiently." ”

Sheng Mingzhu was lying on the rocking chair on one side, there were still some mosquitoes at the end of summer, and Jin Zhi gave her a palm fan on the side.

After a while, the door outside was slammed, Chen Cen lived in the lower room, and was the first to pass through the ear room, "The eldest lady came with a lot of people-" The intention was not good, and the words were not finished. The two old mothers who had been lazily nesting in the ear room came out.

Mingzhu spit out the melon seed skin in her mouth, supported her arms on the rocking chair, and half-bent down to look at the two, "It's strange, the two mothers are also willing to throw down the leaf card and come out?" ”

The sun was still a little shining, and she shook her little feet and smiled. Chen Cen tried to turn his head.

Ordinary Li Qian and the two rarely take care of the mother and daughter, but now that Sheng Qian is here, and the eldest lady outside is about to come in, and it is the last day to serve, she is slightly blessed, "The little one goes to open the door for the eldest lady." ”

"On weekdays, I asked Mother Li to bring me a cup of tea, and Mother Li is afraid of hot hands-" Mingzhu stretched out his hand, and Chen Cen handed her the flower tea that was set aside on the small table.

Mother Li hurriedly smiled, "How dare you be small, Miss Xu is third lady has a small voice, I didn't hear it." ”

Sheng Mingzhu smiled and looked at Mother Li, "No wonder they all say that Mother Li can't lose her hand." I think I can go anywhere without me. He rolled his eyes slightly, taking advantage of the sunlight, there was a shallow wave, "But if people are smart, they can go anywhere?" There was something in her words, and Li's mother felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't think of it.

Sheng Mingzhu had already turned his head to talk to Lingzhu.

The Qian family had already gone to open the door for the eldest lady, and Li's mother was anxious, for fear that the Qian family would rob her of the first credit. Immediately ran over, Sheng Mingzhu teased Lingzhu, "Look, don't you look like two ducks in a race?" ”

Yun Niang's hand was slightly heavy, and she didn't know that the ink was overflowing. Sheng Qian felt weird, so he looked up at her, she shook her head, and squeezed the ink ingot in her hand again.

Ruan Shi wears a bright color dress, but her own appearance is calm, and now she is neutralized, and everyone's lady demeanor is fully displayed.

After Li Qian and the others opened the door, they shrank back and waited for instructions.

"Sister-in-law." Sheng Qian got up and bowed his hand to the Ruan family according to the rules.

Nguyen glanced at him and replied. Yun Niang on the side took a breath, afraid that she would show her timidity, Ruan Shi looked at her, "An old lady has lost her dowry today." The house has been searched both inside and outside the house-"I seem to be afraid that Yun Niang will think too much," that is, I have thoroughly searched the place, for fear that my subordinates will have unclean hands and feet. Aunt Liu, don't think about it. ”

He glanced at the person in his eyes again, "Is there anything inconvenient in the courtyard?" Always have to search. ”

Yun Niang nodded, "Since it's the old lady's business, it's not inconvenient." ”

After speaking, he stepped back and gave Ruan Shi full room to play.

With a wave of her men, she entered the house and rummaged through the cabinets. Because Ruan's said before that there is no need to be merciful, the three-room courtyard was turned over worse than the place next to it, Yun Niang looked at the scene as if it had made a difficulty, "Sister-in-law, Mingzhu and Lingzhu are both daughters' homes, and they are also some clothes, so don't search for them." ”

Ruan Shi leaned back in his chair and sat down, still commanding, "Search." ”

Sheng Qian was not at home during the day, but now looking at this battle, his eyes couldn't help but become cold, "Sister-in-law, what does this mean?" ”

"Third brother, don't stare at me, this is the old lady's idea." Nguyen hurriedly waved his hand.

"But even if you search the house, you don't have to make the house look like this", Huang's mother couldn't help but say, "The third lady is also at this age, and it is not appropriate for such a foreign man to look at the things in his daughter's private room." ”

"If there are no ghosts in your heart, there is nothing unseemly. Didn't my brother and sister say that just now? At this point, Ruan's words have no affection.

"Sister-in-law, don't deceive people too much!"

Ruan didn't want to completely disagree with Sheng Qian, but after thinking about it, he asked those who went to the two girls' rooms to pay attention, and didn't have to touch those who couldn't be touched. The left and right are just pretending, and you can come out after searching for a while.

The yard was very quiet, and Sheng Mingzhu kept eating melon seeds.

Cuizhu pretended to walk to Yun Niang's room inadvertently, and touched the bottom of the bed again.

Then he touched his hand to the cabinet on the side.

Ruan Shi was waiting outside, Cuizhu came out, her head tilted slightly, "Did you find it?" ”

Cuizhu shook his head, his face ugly. In an instant, Ruan's face also changed, Sheng Mingzhu smacked a melon seed, it was too quiet, and she was glared at by Ruan. Hurriedly shrank behind Sheng Qian, "Daddy, grandmother lost her dowry, will she blame me and my mother?" ”

Sheng Qian gave her a strange look, "How come?" It's not good for people to take care of you, how can you blame it. ”

A sentence is poking at Ruan's heart, it is really a matter of stealing chickens and rice, if this thing is really not planted on Liu's head, she will be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and she recalls the two people who played with her.

Next to Li Qian, the two were killed by Ruan's eye knife.

Something is there, but if you don't find it, you can only find it. Mother Qian was timid, and she was also instigated by Mother Li to come, but now that the matter has not been completed, it will not be good at the eldest lady's place, and Aunt Liu will not be able to do it here. If you are a subordinate, you are afraid of infidelity, and Mother Qian is worried about her future.

Mother Li is a shrewd person.

Seeing that Ruan's eyebrows were full of black gas, knowing that this matter could not be done for him, he knelt on the ground with a puff, "Big lady spare her life!" The little one said it all - it's the third miss, it's the third miss who forces the small! ”
