Not to mention how the county lord of Tsinghua planned for her goal of eliminating dissidents, how to arrange, and how to start

However, it was said that the peony saw that the flower buds of the latest variety were completely differentiated, so he returned to the city from Fangyuan with confidence. When I walked to Mrs. Cen's room, I heard a high cry and a low cry from inside. Because he saw Aunt Feng standing under the corridor, he asked Aunt Feng with his eyes, and Aunt Feng stretched out six fingers. Peony understood, knowing that it was Aunt Yang and the Sun family who were guarding Mrs. Cen crying inside, so she quietly entered the house.

But seeing that today is different from the past, Erlang, Wulang, several sisters-in-law, and Aunt Wu are all there, and Mrs. Cen still has a piece of paper in her hand, and everyone's faces are very ugly.

Aunt Yang knelt in front of Mrs. Cen with tears in her eyes and cried: "The concubine doesn't know what he's doing outside, just that he is honestly doing what the master tells him." Who Cheng thought he would do this kind of thing outside? No matter how angry he is, he is also the flesh and blood of the master, and the lady sees that the concubine has served you hard all these years, so pity the poor concubine. ”

Sun knelt on the side and hung his head and wept, sad.

Peony felt a little strange. It has been more than half a month since Liulang's accident, and in the first few days, since Liulang disappeared, Aunt Yang and the Sun family still tried their best to conceal it, and only secretly invited Sun's family to find it behind their backs. Later, Mrs. Cen lost her temper, and then a "well-wisher" sent the news that Liulang gambled money and was taken away by the internal guards, and the family exploded.

Mrs. Cen lost her temper and still sent Erlang and Gorou to inquire and investigate. In the end, they "learned" about Rokuro's whereabouts and made some money, but the threshold for the internal guards was high, and they were never "able" to see people, nor were they "able" to get people out. Aunt Yang and the Sun family made a fuss for a while, knowing that although Liulang had suffered a little inside, he was actually safe, so she was a little relieved, and the Zhen family and others at home would say a few cool words from time to time, and they would often tell the children about Liulang's affairs, so that the children would not follow the bad learning, and she both felt that they had no face and were disgraceful, so they stopped shouting. It was quiet for a long time, and then it was noisy again.

Peony sat down next to Gorou and said in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Gorou pointed to the piece of paper in Mrs. Cen's hand and said in a low voice, "Someone came to the door, and said that it was your sixth brother who borrowed money." ”

Peony said in surprise: "How many?" Is it gambling debt? Really? That day, Rokuro lost all the money in his hand and owed some gambling debts to others, but Xiao Hu and the others appeared in time and did not leave any IOUs or anything at all. Where did this IOU come from?

Gorou sighed: "It's not much, that is, 10 million dollars, the strip is true, and the interest is not high but not low." We estimate that it was about him who borrowed money from others to make gambling money in the front, but because the money he won could be put in the money, the interest was much higher than the one he borrowed from others, and he saw that it was profitable, so he simply kept it to make money. ”

Suddenly, Mrs. Cen put the tea cup in her hand down, raised her voice and said: "It's because he is the flesh and blood of the old man, so I am willing to care about him, if he wasn't, I would have kicked him out a long time ago, do you and Liulang's daughter-in-law really don't know what he is doing outside?" Let me ask you, are all your valuable new clothes and ornaments really given by the master? And Rokuro's daughter-in-law, you have donated a lot of money to the temple recently, where did you come from? Don't think about lying to me, whether it's true or false will always come out one day, when the time comes, I'll make it clear to the lord again, let him deal with it himself, think the lord will definitely be fairer than me. ”

He Zhizhong's hatred and warning about gambling before going out was still in his ears, and Aunt Yang and Sun were stunned and stopped in unison.

Mrs. Cen paused, looked around at everyone, and said, "When the accident happened at that time, the two of you concealed it and didn't report it, and I didn't investigate how many small actions you made to me in private. I still think that things have come to this point anyway, he has suffered a lot, and after he comes out, he will be restrained and converged, you should also know, what can be connived at, what can not be connived, the prodigal son will not change the money, and I will not mention it if I spend money to find a relationship for him. I want to take care of the debt for him, but I can't control the master's son is not just him, and this family is not his own home, not to mention that the master said that everyone will have a share in the family property in the future, and I will pay him back the money, how can I convince the public if there are fewer others? Or gambling debts, as soon as this opening is opened, everyone will learn the same in the future, what should I do? ”

She wrinkled her eyebrows and pointed at Aunt Yang and Sun: "If you know what is going on, you should pay him for the evil fruits you have sown, and when you win the money, you are the ones who have to enjoy it, and now that you have to pay it back, you should bear the ten million money, as well as interest, and you will pay it back by yourself."

Aunt Yang and Sun glanced at each other, and Aunt Yang whimpered and said, "Madam, this is our life, where did we raise such a large sum of money?" Do you want us to pawn clothes and sell accessories? Even if we go out to pawn clothes and sell accessories, we will lose the face of the He family......"

Mrs. Cen stood still, and calmly pointed at everyone: "You all listen to me, the face of the He family is not supported by gambling sticks and people who do not do business, so it is not something that gamblers and people who do not work hard can lose it." I'll stop here today, if you refuse to pay it back, it's okay, I'll pawn it for you, if it's not enough, borrow it from the public again, and slowly deduct it and pay it back, do it yourself or will I do it for you? ”

Aunt Yang let out an "ah" and looked at Mrs. Cen with teary eyes, but seeing Mrs. Cen's resolute expression, there was obviously no room for turning, so she couldn't help but look at Aunt Wu. Aunt Wu looked at her sympathetically, saying that she couldn't help her, let alone the others, she had any expressions, but no one was willing to intercede for them.

Her mouth was deflated, and she began to cry mournfully: "Master, master, where are you?" Come back quickly, if you don't come back, we will all be driven to death by life."

Seeing this, Aunt Wu hurriedly covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, where is Madam sorry for you?" You can't say such unconscionable things. ”

"I didn't even see that you still have such a temper." Mrs. Cen sneered: "Let go of her and let her call, I want to see what kind of name she can call, do you think I am unwilling to help you?" Okay, I'll convince you. Everyone here is present, let me ask you, are you willing to pay off the gambling debts for Rokuro? If you will, I will not stop you. ”

Who would want to fill the bottomless pit of gambling debts for him? Xue Shi and the others all lowered their heads and did not speak.

Seeing this, Aunt Yang threw herself forward and hugged Aunt Wu's legs: "Sister Wu, you can say something for me, I will remember your love for the rest of my life." I really don't have that much money. ”

Aunt Wu looked at her in embarrassment, not knowing what to do. Zhen hurriedly coughed lowly, and said in a weird manner: "Oh, my father and eldest brother are eating and drinking outside, and they have suffered a lot, and the second brother and Wulang go out early and return late every day, and they are so tired that they don't want to talk when they go home, and the mother, sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law are diligent in housework, and this day will be so comfortable." It's good that you are idle, eating and drinking spicy food, spending money lavishly, and you can't listen to the advice of your family. When you run out of food and clothing, you always cause trouble to your family, and you still want us to pay off your gambling debts? I said, why don't you come and rob it, anyway, I don't have half of it, whoever wants to pay it back for you, don't get involved with us. As he spoke, he got up and went outside, and muttered a sentence: "I might as well give it to Hanako if I have that money, and I have to do some good deeds, this is a meat bun and a dog......

Rong Niang and Ying Niang heard her say that she was funny, and they all covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Aunt Yang saw that there was no way, and looked at Peony again, only then did she shout Danniang, and was about to speak, Peony said bluntly: "Auntie doesn't need to say it, if you are sick or legitimate, it's easy to say that you can smash the pot and sell iron, don't think about it, I don't have it." I won't say that for you. ”

Aunt Yang was helpless, crying mournfully and preparing to leave, Sun was silent for a moment, and said unconvinced: "I can't control him, you can't ask me to use my dowry to pay off his debts, right?" Mother, you are a housekeeper on weekdays, and the two elder brothers are the eldest brothers, shouldn't you discipline Rokuro? Why is it that we are responsible for what happened to him? Shouldn't you care? When Danniang has something to do, the family is all in battle, and at this time, Liulang has something to do, and they all stand by and watch, it's nothing more than that we are concubines, which is really chilling."

When Aunt Yang heard her say what she wanted to say but didn't dare to say, she was happy and scared, pretending to take her hand and carefully look at the faces of Mrs. Cen and the others.

No one has ever said such unreasonable things to the face. Mrs. Cen was dizzy with anger for a while, her eyes widened and she pointed at Sun and said: "Your dowry is your own, whether you are willing to take it out to pay off your debts is your freedom, no one forces you to control your man, but it is our everyone's fault?" Concubine? If he is a concubine, we should swallow our anger and let him come nonsense, and let him drag down this big family, so is it fair? You have never had a child, and he wants to take a concubine, who will stop him? Who left him at home with you? What is inferior to people in terms of food and clothing for him and you? Who made you angry or harsh on you on weekdays?

You dare to say that we didn't take care of him? Now no, when we ask, who is covering for him? Who is complaining for him? I tell you, if I give birth to him, no matter who is like this, I will treat him the same, and I will beat him half to death, and I will ask you again, are you his wife? Have you ever received the belongings that he has returned to you for safekeeping? Did you get any of the stolen goods he got from gambling? Do you have? As long as you dare to say no, you immediately have nothing to do with this matter, Aunt Yang gave birth to him, and you can't get rid of this relationship no matter what, husband and wife are so good that I don't force you, and I don't wronged you, you can do whatever you like."

Aunt Yang saw Mrs. Cen's big temper and was a little scared, so she quickly pulled Sun and smiled: "She is also in a hurry." I don't know where I want to speak. Why don't you apologize to your wife? ”

Sun lowered his eyelids and didn't speak, so he bowed quietly.

Mrs. Cen put her face aside and said lightly: "The creditor will come to the door in three days, don't think about it, just push it all to the public, give you two days, tomorrow evening I won't see most of the money raised, so I will personally ask people to raise it for you." I don't know whose dowry it is. Then she ordered Aunt Feng to go with the two of them, and she didn't ask any more.

Everyone dispersed, and Peony saw that Mrs. Cen was in a bad mood, so she sat with her and talked together: "Seeing that it is almost the end of the year, the heat is almost over, let him come back when the money here is repaid." ”

Mrs. Cen pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay." Yan Bi rubbed his forehead and said, "When your father comes back, I really want them to move out, and I can't get annoyed with them." ”

Peony smiled: "If my mother is bored, when this matter is over, how about going to Fangyuan with me to live in Fangyuan for a few days?" Leave the home to your sisters-in-law, and you can relax for a few days. ”

Mrs. Cen sighed: "It's okay." She was silent for a moment, "I had a nightmare last night, and I was in a very bad mood, so I will accompany me to Fashou Temple to worship incense." ”

Peony responded, and explained her: "Don't take it to heart." This dream you have may be on the sixth brother who was asked to collect debts. ”

Mrs. Cen sighed: "I hope so." ”

Peony leaned on her shoulder and said softly: "Mother, today's words of the sixth sister-in-law are particularly ugly, is my idea inappropriate?" Overdone? ”

Mrs. Cen shook her head: "No, you are for the good of this family, and for his good." Once this person has a gambling addiction, it is very difficult to quit. Eat without remembering the smell...... Let him never forget. You don't know, when your father and I were young, we saw many gamblers, cut off their ears and fingers, and said they wouldn't gamble, but once they saw it, they forgot all the pain. Naturally, they can't raise all the money, but they have to teach them a lesson, not to let them be lucky, but also to take this opportunity to teach the rest of the family a lesson, otherwise the family will be in chaos. ”

Peony leaned on her and said in a low voice: "I just want our family to be fine, safe and well, and obedient." ”

Mrs. Cen smiled: "Then you should also pay respects to the incense at that time." By the way, I also ask the Buddha to bless him, let Jiang Dalang come back safely and safely, and do your business smoothly. ”

Peony's face was slightly hot for a while, buried her head in her arms, and laughed quietly: "I don't care about him." After going for many days, there is not even a letter of letters. ”

Mrs. Cen rubbed her head lovingly and said with a smile: "It's inconvenient to go out, how can I bring you a letter every day?" Otherwise, tell him to hurry up and let someone come to propose marriage, so that you don't go anywhere. ”

Once the Yang and Sun families had no room to turn around, they were quick to move their hands and feet, and quickly took out the valuable clothes and accessories, as well as the valuable furnishings in the house, and exchanged them for money. The Sun family really refused to take out his dowry, and only took out the things he got from Liulang and the He family, although Aunt Yang was dissatisfied, but because Mrs. Cen had something to say, she silently endured her anger, and planned to wait until Liulang came back to talk about it.

The two of them have been working for a long time, and there is still a difference of nearly four million dollars, Mrs. Cen didn't say much, and directly asked the two of them to write an IOU in public, took it from the public and repaid the debt for Liulang, and notified the Xue family, and since then, Aunt Yang, Liulang and his wife have all reduced their food and clothing until they pay off the father's money.

Aunt Yang took off her gorgeous clothes, wore a homely skirt, and wore an ordinary hairpin ring, and she was angry when she compared it with the rest of the family, and she didn't even come out to eat. Sun's dowry is still there, but because he just gave birth to such a thing, he was embarrassed to dress up, so he found an excuse, but his mother's mother was sick, so she asked her brother to pick her up and go back to live for a while. Mrs. Cen did not make it difficult for her, prepared gifts for her, and treated her family warmly, Sun was a little ashamed, and quietly went to kowtow to Mrs. Cen when she left.

Peony accompanied Mrs. Cen to salute the incense in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and Mrs. Cen drew lots again, but she signed the lot, and her face changed at the moment. Peony hurriedly smiled: "It's nothing." Let's listen to what the masters have to say. And there must be a solution. ”

As he was talking, Monk Huisheng came over, took the sign in Mrs. Cen's hand and looked at it, and said with a smile: "This sign is not bad." And it's a good sign. There is no danger, desperate life, visitors will definitely return safely, nothing to do, female Tanyue do not have to worry. This statement was all said to Mrs. Cen's heart, and although Mrs. Cen didn't say it, her face improved significantly.

Peony hurriedly said: "Mother, didn't you say that there are a few ** places that you can't understand?" Master Huisheng happens to be free today, so you might as well ask him to explain a thing or two for you. ”

Mrs. Cen was really a little moved, and the monk Huisheng hurriedly asked the little novice to lead her to the apse, and Peony took the first two steps to catch up with the monk Huisheng, put her hands together and saluted, and pleaded: "My mother has been upset and irritable recently, and she has a lot of worries, and she can't sleep at night, and she also asks the master to enlighten her through Buddhism." The little woman was grateful. ”

Monk Huisheng returned her salute and said with a smile: "Nu Tan Yue rest assured, this is a matter of duty." Suddenly, I heard someone coughing not far away, Shu'er looked sideways, but it was like a little monk standing there with a food box and looking over here, seeing her look over, her mouth grinned, revealing two big white rabbit front teeth.

Shu'er looked funny, hurriedly talked to Peony, and ran over to talk to Ruman. Peony accompanied Mrs. Cen to listen to Huisheng talk about Buddhist scriptures.

Once the monk Huisheng talks about Buddhism, his eyebrows are flying, quoting the past and the present, speaking in simple terms, easy to understand, Mrs. Cen is fascinated by it, and Peony reluctantly listens to it for a long time, and is a little unbearable. looked around absentmindedly, and suddenly saw Shu'er standing at the door quietly waving to her, and knew that it was related to the little monk Ruman. She hadn't seen Monk Fuyuan for a long time, and this time she also brought Lilly, so she said to Aunt Feng and Mother Lin, and led Kuan'er to carry things outside.

If the little monk ran away without a trace, Shu'er saw the two of them coming, so he dragged the two of them to a secluded place, and said with a serious expression: "Lady, the slave and maid said something to you, don't be angry when you hear it." ”

Peony smiled: "What's the matter?" So seriously. ”

Shu'er said in a low voice: "Shicai is like a young monk and a slave maid said that these days, there are always two Xiao Gongzi who come to talk to his master, and they sit for a long time, and every time they ask Jiang Gongzi if he comes." The older one played chess well, but the younger one was a sissy like a woman. He asked if we knew how Jiang Gongzi could have such a strange friend? The slave and maid quietly ran with him to see it, guess who? ”

Xiao Xuexi unexpectedly, such a person popped up in Peony's mind, she slowly shook her head, "I haven't heard Jiang Gongzi say it, I can't guess." ”

Shu'er was a little angry: "It's the Xiao Xuexi I met last time when I was hunting, and he was quite pretty in men's clothes." Master Fuyuan didn't recognize them at all, and he didn't know why he rubbed them every day with such a thick skin. ”

Kuan'er smiled and squeaked her squeak: "Oh, everyone is not in a hurry, you are in a hurry." The doors of Buddhism are open, who can't enter? ”

Shu'er pushed her and said, "Lady, do you want to go over and take a look?" ”

Peony said, "I was going to visit Master Fuyuan. After saying that, he went forward. Shu'er and Kuan'er hurriedly followed with their things.

The three of them turned around and went to the thatched hall where the monk lived in Defuyuan, and before they got close, they heard the sound of the piano. For example, the little monk was sitting in front of the door of the grass hall, holding a big golden orange in his arms, and was stuffing a mouth full. Seeing them coming, he jumped up with a smile, rolled his eyes before swallowing the contents of his mouth, and shouted into the room urgently: "Master, Mrs. He is here" The sound of the piano suddenly stopped.

Monk Fuyuan walked out of the door, saluted and smiled: "The female benefactor has not seen her for a long time. ”

Peony returned the salute, ordered Kuan'er to hand the things to Ruman, and said with a smile: "There are some tea, spices, paper and pencils, ink ingots, pastries and other things inside, which is not a tribute." ”

Fu Yuan smiled: "The female donor is polite." Inside please. ”

Peony stepped into the house, but saw Xiao Xuexi, who was sitting cross-legged on a Yin mat against the wall, dressed as a man in a snow-white round-necked narrow-sleeved shirt, and the piano on her knees had not been put away; In front of the chessboard by the window sat a young man in a brown robe about twenty-four or five years old, with eyebrows and eyes similar to Xiao Xuexi, but a little more rugged, and a chess piece in his hand.

Seeing Peony come in, the young man glanced at her lightly and lowered his eyes indifferently. Xiao Xuexi looked at the peony and raised her eyebrows with interest: "It's really life and not meeting, He Niangzi, hello." ”

Peony smiled slightly and saluted: "Lady Xiao, hello." Excuse me. ”

Xiao Xuexi hugged the piano away, moved it to the side of the banquet, and asked Peony to sit down: "Please sit here." ”

Ruman had already brought another bed and Yin Xi over, put it next to Xiao Xuexi, and asked Peony to sit with a smile: "He Niangzi, you sit here." Then he laughed and whispered, "The cake you sent is so delicious." As he spoke, he couldn't help smacking his mouth, and eccentrically moved the charcoal basin in front of Xiao Xuexi to the peony.

Peony laughed: "Greedy little monk." ”

Xiao Xuexi said with a smile on the side: "Mrs. He is very familiar with Master Fuyuan and Master Ruman?" ”
