Chapter 223: The Way
Mrs. Wang, who finally managed to squeeze out of the crowd and fled to the house, collapsed on the kang and let out a long breath, and then ordered Mrs. Zhou, who accompanied the room, "Quickly call the eldest and second masters." ”
Mu Dongru was so anxious about his wife and daughter being thrown into prison that he almost didn't turn his hair white, and when he heard his mother's summons, he hurriedly ran over, and when he saw the embarrassment of Wang Taijun, he was also surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
"Hey, don't mention it, I was almost blocked and couldn't come back." Mrs. Wang hurriedly told the Sun family about the debt, "Your daughter-in-law was greedy for money at that time, accepted the dowry, and took it as a pawn, and was grabbed by others to braid." Now that your girl has been sent to prison again, and there is no girl of the same age in the house, how can I be born? ”
As he spoke, Mu Dongsheng also came in, and he also heard Wang Laotaijun's words, and when he saw that his mother was so confused, he sighed angrily, "Mother, why are you confused again?" Do you dare to do such things casually? When the time comes, you won't be able to get out the money, I see how you can pay the difference? ”
"Did you talk to your mother like that?" Mrs. Wang was so angry that her tone was very bad. "Your mother was almost beaten to death, and you're still gloating here! It's not your own girl who dares to marry, right? If I don't agree, will you still see your mother sitting here? ”
Mu Dongsheng was reprimanded by his mother, and he didn't dare to say anything.
"Look at the good daughter you gave birth to, she didn't recognize my own grandmother when she came to the door, and she threw the eldest aunt and eldest sister into prison, is this not going to recognize our Mu family?" Wang Lao Taijun suffered a lot of anger at the gate of the Lu Mansion, and now when she saw Mu Dongsheng and saw him say this, she couldn't help but spread her anger on him.
Mu Dongru also looked down on Mu Dongsheng.
Mu Dongsheng was originally a coward, but he was scolded by his mother, and he didn't dare to reply a word, just sat on the edge of the kang and sighed.
Mu Dongru looked down on his younger brother's cowardly appearance, and he looked down on it even more. It's just that now my mother-in-law and daughter are still in prison, and I don't know what they have suffered, so I guess I have to beg Caiwei to release them. Now that his brother is like this, he can't say anything.
Mrs. Wang complained, and then finally remembered that Cai Wei was still the daughter of her youngest son, and now the eldest daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter are locked up in prison, and the Sun family is rushing to ask for the dowry money, if there is no dowry, you have to ask for someone.
Even if you want someone, the key is to release Mu Caiping first.
She couldn't find anyone to ask for after thinking about it, so she had to let Mu Dongsheng go to Lu Mansion, "It's all your daughter's trouble, she closes the door, no one can enter, and we can't figure out, whether Lord Lu looks down on the lintel of our Mu family, or your girl wants to break off the relationship with our Mu family!" Well, since our faces aren't big enough, it's okay for you, your biological father, to go on a trip, right? You can't watch your sister-in-law and eldest niece suffer in prison, can you? If you put it a day late, you don't know what people are tossed about. ”
Mu Dongru became even more anxious when he heard this, and he actually gave Mu Dongsheng a look in front of Mrs. Wang, and begged, "Second brother, I have to bother you to beg your second niece and Lord Lu, let them release your sister-in-law and eldest niece." If it's too late, this person will be gone......" Thinking of his wife and daughter in the edict prison, he didn't know what he had suffered and what crimes he had suffered, Mu Dongru's eyes were red like a big man.
Mu Dongsheng had difficulty riding a tiger and had to agree to come down.
There was such a big incident in the family, no matter how cowardly he was, he had to bite the bullet, not to mention that this incident was caused by his daughter. So under the orders of Wang Lao Taijun and Mu Dongru's ear, he finally agreed to come down and go to Lufu.
Wang Lao Taijun hurriedly asked someone to prepare a car for him, and Mu Dongru sent him out of the gate, watching him get into the car and head towards Lu Mansion.
The mother and son came back together to wait for the letter.
This Mu Dongsheng was nervous all the way, and came to the door of the Lu Mansion. After getting out of the car, I saw the two god-like porters, and I thought about it for a long time before I stepped forward and asked with a smile cautiously, "Two masters, I am your wife's father, I came to your wife for something, and I ask the two masters to go in and report it." ”
The two porters looked at each other and thought, why is this lady's father so shabby!
But I heard that he has been leaving his wife in the countryside and has never taken care of it for more than ten years.
After all, it is Madame's own father, if you really beat him out with a stick, Madame will regret it at that time, but it is not easy to explain.
So the two of them thought for a while before saying to Mu Dongsheng, "Then you wait here, let's go in and talk to Madame." ”
Mu Dongsheng saw that the two porters were still good at talking, and he didn't embarrass him much, so he couldn't help but feel a little more confident, and said with a busy smile, "I'm not busy, I'll wait here." ”
A porter pushed the door and walked in, went straight to the second door, and found Xiao Wu next to Cai Wei and asked her to go in and report.
Cai Wei had already heard about the old lady Wang outside the door, and when she heard that her father Mu Dongsheng was here again, she didn't have a good face.
"The Mu family is really amazing. Repeated turns, will this be that no one came, and he was sent again? Looking at his big face, isn't it? “
Lu Ying was reclining on the bed, holding a book, reading it with relish, and smiled when she heard Cai Wei's words, "Your father came, probably for your aunt and cousin." Why don't you invite him in? ”
"No, get rid of him! He treated my mother so much back then, ruthless and unrighteous, why didn't he think that there would be today? ”
Cai Wei thought about it and said resolutely.
Xiao Wu took the order, so he hurriedly ran out, came to the second gate, and when he saw the gatehouse, he explained Cai Wei's words.
The porter couldn't believe it, thinking that it was his own father, so he really sent it out like this?
But thinking about Mu Dongsheng's personality, he is not worthy of being someone's father, and he really doesn't have the face to face this door.
The porter walked unceremoniously to the gate and said to Mu Dongsheng, "Our lady said that she can't see you, so please go back." ”
Mu Dongsheng repeatedly laughed and pleaded, "You just told Mrs. that her father is here, and she won't see her today, do you want to break off the relationship with our Mu family?" ”
The porter's heart is like this, and it's okay if his father is cut off.
Mu Dongsheng walked up with a shy face, and the porter had a cold face and shouted, "Madam said that if you don't see it, you won't see it, so don't be cheeky anymore." ”
Mu Dongsheng was helpless, so he had to turn around and go back.
As a result, as soon as he went to Mrs. Wang's house and learned this, Mrs. Wang was so angry that she scolded with her head and face, "You are really a worthless person, you can't see your daughter alone, what are you going to do?" Your sister-in-law and eldest niece are both locked up in prison, and you don't know what you have suffered and what crimes you have suffered this time! You just came back in such a gloomy way? ”
Mu Dongsheng was scolded, his heart was very unhappy, and he couldn't help but raise his mouth, "They don't see me, what else can I do?" In the high-walled compound, can I still be a thief and climb over the wall to get in? ”
Mrs. Wang's words were blocked, and she was so angry that she looked around for a guy to beat Mu Dongsheng, but in the end she still let her touch the crutches under the kang head, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and hit Mu Dongsheng.
"It's really the other way you go, your elbows are turned outward, do you still think I'm your mother?" Mu Dongsheng was hit a few times, and ran out angrily, but the girl couldn't stop him.
Back in his small courtyard, Zhang saw that Mu Dongsheng was embarrassed, and hurriedly greeted him and asked questions.
Mu Dongsheng had no choice but to tell what he was angry with Wang Lao Taijun, and when Zhang heard it, he became indignant. "Why didn't the old lady say anything about the sister-in-law and the eldest niece poisoning our girl? If it weren't for the girl's great blessing, I wouldn't know who married over there, and what would happen to the Mu family? ”
She didn't say a word to her eldest daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter, and urged you to go to Lu Mansion to ask for help. The gate of the Lu family can also be entered by anyone? “
Mu Dongsheng saw that his daughter-in-law was nagging and not finished, so he was very irritable, so he simply ran to the study in the front yard and hid it.
Zhang's heart was not angry, and he ran to Wang Laotaijun's house, crackling and said, Wang Laotaijun is not a fuel-efficient person, and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made a very unpleasant noise, and even Mu Dongru was choked by Zhang's for a few words, and his face was very gloomy.
Look at it like this, is the second room going to put his hands away? Then his own mother-in-law and daughter have to think of their own ideas.
When I said goodbye to Mrs. Wang's house, it was already dark. Mu Dongru was full of thoughts, and he looked at the entire capital one by one, who else could the Mu family have a little friendship with.
Thinking about it, it really made him come up with a person. This person is none other than Lin Duzhong, the most powerful eunuch in front of the Holy Lord today. Although he is a eunuch, he is a man of good speech in front of the emperor, and he is better than those court officials of a few grades.
It's just that this eunuch had something to do with the Mu family in his early years, and now if he begs him again, I don't know if it will work.
Now that a dead horse is a live horse doctor, he has no choice but to make such a trip.
Mu Dongru knew that Lin Qianzhong had a house in the city, not far from their Mu family. He himself didn't know if Lin Quanzhong was out of the palace at this time?
Lin Qianzhong's status is different from that of ordinary little eunuchs, and he also has a day off, and he comes out to live for a few days every ten days and a half months.
Without further ado, he had to find his way out. If it is postponed for a few more days, there will be many dreams at night, maybe the Jiang family and Mu Caiping will not be able to survive in the edict.
After making up his mind, Mu Dongru rummaged through the cabinet and pulled out two yellowed silver tickets, and he looked at the ticket amount, but it was only two hundred taels of silver tickets.
No way, he can't come to the door empty-handed, right? Although there is not much silver, it is also a meat.
So he took advantage of the moonlight to take a car and came to the gate of Lin Qianzhong's house.
He first handed the porter a piece of silver, and inquired from the porter that Lin Qianzhong happened to be at home today.
Mu Dongru was overjoyed, this is really "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it".
He hurriedly asked the porter to go in for him to report it, and said that the eldest master of the Mu family was over.
Lin Qianzhong, as a big celebrity in front of the emperor, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the celebrant of the ceremony, the officials who usually come to do things and find a way are like carp crossing the river, and the cashier is also soft, so he will naturally be surprised, so he stuffed the ingot of silver into his sleeve and said to Mu Dongru, "You wait here first." Then one of the porters turned and went in to report it.
Mu Dongru honestly waited at the door, blowing the cold wind, and kept stomping his feet, but he didn't dare to complain in the slightest.
After a while, the porter ran out and said with a smile on Mu Dongsheng's face, "Master Mu, please come in." Our lord is invited. ”
Mu Dongsheng hurriedly thanked him, and followed the porter through the courtyard to the flower hall.
It turns out that the specifications of this Lin Qianzhong Mansion are not small, although it looks ordinary from the outside, but the courtyard there is large enough, three in and three out, plus two east-west crossings, and a huge garden is connected.
Looking at it like this, I should have bought the piece of land across the street and connected it together.
While looking at it, Mu Dongsheng pinched the two thin silver tickets through his sleeves, thinking to himself that these two hundred taels of silver are probably not enough to stuff people's teeth?
But now, he has no other way to raise money, so he has to take one step at a time. If Lin Qianzhong finally accomplished this thing, he would go to raise silver afterwards to thank him.
At this time, Lin Qianzhong Zhengsan was wearing an ochre homely robe and a small melon skin hat, sitting in the flower hall and drinking tea leisurely.
He was a eunuch, with a white beard, and looked a few years younger than his actual age, but in his early thirties.
He has clear eyebrows and a slender and slender body, giving people the impression of a handsome young man. At this moment, he is sitting in the Taishi chair in the flower hall, holding a blue and white porcelain tea cup in his hand, and the fingers of the show are pinching the lid of the tea cup, slowly scraping the foam in the tea.
"Master, the eldest master of the Mu family is here."
The porter cautiously looked at his face and replied.
Lin Qianzhong raised his head at this time, looked at Mu Dongsheng, a pair of Danfeng eyes seemed to be smiling, and said slowly, "It turns out that the eldest master of the Mu family is here?" ”
Mu Dongsheng hurriedly stepped forward and made a thousand calls, gave a big salute, patted his ass and said with a smile, "Lord Lin really has a good memory, he still remembers me for so many years." ”
Because Lin Qianzhong is a eunuch, he is most taboo for others not to treat him as a man, so Mu Dongru thought about calling him an adult.
Sure enough, the scream tickled at him.
Lin Qianzhong couldn't help but smile, looked at him and waved his hand, "Sit down." And he ordered someone to serve tea.
The servant hurriedly brought tea and snacks and placed them on the small table in front of Mu Dongru.
Lin Qianzhong looked at Mu Dongru, who was nervous, and asked, "I don't know what Lord Mu is talking about when he comes?" ”
In fact, Lin Qianzhong had heard about the Mu family's affairs a long time ago, but he was pretending to be in order to hang Mu Dongru's appetite!
Mu Dongru hurriedly said that the Jiang family and Mu Caiping were thrown into the edict prison by Lu Ying, and at the end of the day, he pouted with a look of indignation, "This Lord Lu is too ruthless, but the Mu family and him are also in-laws, even if he doesn't like my niece anymore, he can't use such means!" ”
Lin Qianzhong's bright eyes suddenly flashed, and then they disappeared again, slowly flicking the foam, and said, "So, Lord Lu is really just repaying his kindness as rumored outside?" ”
Mu Dongru nodded hurriedly, "Exactly." If he had a love for my niece, he wouldn't have been so disrespectful to our Mu family. My niece had fallen into the fire pit. ”
He said as a matter of course, but he was listened to by Lin Quanzhong, and he couldn't stop sighing, "It's a pity to be young." ”
