Chapter 16: Punishment

When Jin Chao returned to Qingtong Courtyard, his face was gloomy, and the servants did not dare to breathe, and waited carefully. When the fragrance girl served tea, the eldest lady thought the tea was hot, so she brushed it on the ground and asked her to go out first and not come to serve!

Qingpu understood the intention of the Jin Dynasty: "Miss is suspicious of the lingering girl? ”

Jin Chao nodded: "I'll break her up first, I don't want to wronged her in vain but make her suspicious, you find Yutong, who has a good personal relationship with her, and in addition, call Mrs. Li who is cleaning." ”

Yutong couldn't say why: "...... The slave didn't think there was anything wrong with Miss Liuxiang. Qingpu took her out first, Jin Chao glanced at her, the two have also had a tacit understanding between master and servant for many years, Qingpu knew that this was to let her tell Yutong to keep her mouth shut and not say more.

Mrs. Li immediately knelt on the ground and said carefully: "The slave maid cleans the front yard, and it is common for the girl to leave the fragrance to go out of the yard...... It's just that a few days ago, the girl Liuxiang was very unusual, and she didn't go out until the evening, and the slave thought it was your order, but she came back in less than half an hour, and she still had something in her hand...... That's right! It's a pair of golden hairpins, plum blossom hairpins inlaid with sapphires! But this pair of things, the slave maid never saw the fragrance girl wear again. ”

Jin Chao rewarded Mrs. Li with some silver nudes and told her to keep quiet.

She was already seven or eight sure in her heart, just in case, but she didn't alarm anyone. Liuxiang still serves her every day, but her heart is like playing a drum, since the last time she overheard the young lady secretly checking her origins, she was already very panicked. She tried to behave better and stay there, fearing that she would return to her old life of being poor and beaten and scolded by her father and brother.

She has suffered from poverty since she was a child, so she especially cherishes her belongings, and she takes a lot of things from the Jin Dynasty, which she estimates that she doesn't remember and don't care about. But this was far from enough, Gu Lan provided her with more jewelry and belongings. The last time she heard about the golden silk bun, she knew that this news would definitely be able to change to a gold ornament, and sure enough, Gu Lan gave her a pair of gold hairpins!

Although Gu Jinchao didn't doubt her, he didn't like her as much as before. Liuxiang thought of her treasures, and couldn't help but comfort herself in her heart, not afraid, even if she was casually matched, those things were enough for her to live a good life!

The Jin Dynasty sent someone to call Luo Yongping to come. It was only a few days after Luo Yongping went back, so he clarified the matter and respectfully returned to Gu Jinchao: "There is only one brother in Liuxiang's family, named Song Da." Her mother died when she was young, and her father died two years ago. But her brother did not work as an errand in the Yu family, he was an idle vagrant, and he was addicted to gambling. And the shot is very big, and there are many styles of gambling, and he plays Shuanglu tag dice, and often gambles money in Wanchun Gambling House, and can lose a hundred taels a night when he is more than ......"

No wonder Liuxiang can't be filled like a gold hole!

Jin Chao unveiled the teacup and drank tea, and continued to ask: "Her brother lost so much money, and he didn't make a living, didn't he lose all his family property earlier?" ”

Luo Yongping said with a smile: "It's strange to say, this Song Da is very wealthy, even if he has no money, he doesn't know where to find gold and silver jewelry to pawn!" Jin Chao looked at him with a movement in his heart, Luo Yongping had already taken out the things, "The slave went to the pawnshop to redeem some, and there are many more." ”

This Luo Yongping is really a person who can do things. Jin Chao nodded and asked Qingpu to call Tong's mother to come in and identify him.

Tong's mother looked at it repeatedly for a long time before she made up her mind: "Most of them are Miss's, this hairpin of butterfly love flowers, only Miss is inlaid with yellow prehnite stones...... There are also some slaves and maids who don't recognize it, by the way, this! She took out a pair of red coral earrings from inside, "The slave maid saw that the Ziling girl next to the second lady had worn it. He pointed to a jasper wrench again, "This thing, the slave maid saw Aunt Du wearing it." ”

Aunt Du? Jin Chao remembered that Tong's mother inquired at that time, and Liuxiang had served at Aunt Du's.

Tong's mother was also shocked: "It's all Miss's things, no wonder Liuxiang can't come to the slave maid to ask for a register, without a register, it is much more convenient for her to get things, thanks to the slave maid who is still familiar with Miss's things!" ”

Gu Jinchao nodded: "I thought she was just involved with the second miss, but I didn't expect that even Aunt Du was in contact with her." "I raised such a big moth, but I gnawed her all in a few clicks.

Mother Tong frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Miss, you say, could it be that Aunt Du and Aunt Song colluded ......?"

"It's possible." Jin Chao also thought that if these two people had joined forces a long time ago, it would be difficult for her to move them.

“…… Although we don't know about these two aunts for the time being, I'm afraid that the lingering girl can't stay anymore! Tong's mother gestured.

"I wanted to get rid of her without alarming these two people, but I couldn't do it for a while." Jin Chao thought for a moment and said, "If I can catch her on the spot when she steals, I also have a reason to knock her out of the house." ”

Luo Yongping arched his hand: "Miss, this Wanchun gambling house is owned by the Ji family. Originally, Song Da gambled in Wanchun Casino, all under the banner of the eldest lady, saying that his sister was the most favored girl around the eldest lady, and no one dared to offend him within a radius of ten miles. For the sake of the eldest lady's face, Song Da was suppressed when he lost money in Wanchun Casino...... Otherwise, it's not just about losing. ”

I haven't heard anything about pickling in the previous life of the Jin Dynasty, and if you lose money in the gambling house, as long as the gambling house wants to manipulate it, it is not difficult at all.

She smiled: "So that they don't have to press, Song Da loves gambling so much, he must lose more." ”

"The minions will do it right away." Luo Yongping smiled and retreated.

A few days later, Liuxiang came to ask the eldest lady for leave, and her eyes were red in a hurry: "Miss, please allow me to go back once, my brother is sick in bed, I want to go back and see." ”

Jin Chao was cutting the extra flower bones for her Lamei, and when she heard this, she said: "Don't make your brother unhappy for the New Year, you go back first." ”

Liuxiang hurriedly packed up one or two gold ornaments and silver nudes in her house and went back, her home was in Qingping Alley, and there was an old dog with skin and bones outside the house.

Liuxiang walked into the inner room and found that the original mahogany bed, cabinet, table and stool in the house were gone. The thin man in the kudzu shirt was wrapped in a thin quilt and shrunk on the wooden board, and one of his broken legs hung weakly, and the wounds were all blood, and the quilt was stained red. As soon as he saw Liuxiang coming back, he immediately scolded: "Dead hoof, Lao Tzu told you to come back, but you didn't come back!" You have to be willing to break your leg if you have to be broken! ”

Liuxiang's tears immediately fell: "Don't you want to think about it, this time is a day!" It's all like this, and you still scold me! Where did the money and furniture go, you tell me, where did you take all the things! ”

Song Daman didn't care: "Lao Tzu gambles money, of course take it first!" I don't know why, I've been very lucky lately, and I've lost more than a thousand taels of silver, have you brought the silver back, find me a doctor first, and I'll take the rest to turn over! ”

The fragrance is so much that the whole body is shaking, and the gambling ...... It's all gambling like this, and he still wants to bet!

"I don't have any money with me right now, how much money do you have to pay for the gambling house?"

Song Da thought for a while: "Four hundred taels...... I don't remember it very clearly! Don't you have an eldest lady to serve, but the Ji family's cousin, you go and beg her, let her exempt me from gambling debts, give me go! ”

Four hundred taels ...... Liuxiang was cold, four hundred taels, and now Tong's mother is in charge of Qingtong Courtyard, even if she is killed, she can't get four hundred taels!

"You still want to make trouble in front of the eldest lady, if she knows that you are gambling, neither of us will have a way to survive in the future!" Ruka gave him a fierce look. She is just this one brother, and the bloodline of the Song family can't be broken here, no matter what, she still has to save him. She gritted her teeth, turned and walked out into the courtyard to turn over an adobe brick under the jujube tree.

Song Da smiled weirdly: "You hid gold there, didn't you?" ”

Liuxiang's heart suddenly jumped.

Song Da continued: "Cheap hooves, hiding things on Lao Tzu's back, I have already dug them out and used them!" Haha, I used it a long time ago, I bought a set of pearl shirts for hearts, and I also bought five taels of gold silk buns......"

Golden bun! It's a golden bun again!

Liuxiang's expression suddenly became hideous, she jumped up and walked to her brother's bed, grabbed his neck and shouted, "Give my gold back!" I've saved for so many years! I've saved for so many years! ......" shouted and shouted, and the voice was lowered again, and tears fell down.

It's gone, there's no gold, there's nothing, there's nothing.

Song Da said: "You don't have it, the eldest lady has it, you go and get the eldest lady's gold, let me turn it over first......"

Liuxiang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes...... Yes, the eldest lady has gold, and the second lady also has it, I'm going to go back to get the gold first, I'm going to go back first. She picked up her package and rushed out of the room, and Song Da was so angry that she slammed the bed, "You find a doctor for Lao Tzu!" Little hooves! Regardless of Lao Tzu's life and death......"

The skinny old dog walked in with his tail wagging, circled around Song Da, and licked his face again.

"Damn! Don't die if you don't eat a few meals! Song Da avoided the old dog's rough tongue, "Get out!" I didn't eat for you! ”
