On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the god of the stove is sacrificed. The sacrifice was held at dusk, and Bai Yu was the last court meeting of the year. After that, Daqin officially entered the New Year's holiday period until the fifteenth day of the first month of the following year.

Yin Taoliangfang of Fuze Mansion stood among the courtiers, listening boredly to the farewell words of the old year as the end, while thinking about the effect of handing over the paper in his sleeve.

He never expected that the case of the Zhou family and the Wu family would attract the Queen Mother to inquire in person, but fortunately, he did it neatly this time, and there was no place where people could find it. As soon as this note is on, presumably the Queen Mother will also be satisfied. At least, this year's evaluation of the officials, you don't have to worry about it.

It is said that the martial saint is in Zhenglong, and it is really not false! Tao Liangfang thought to himself, but fortunately he bet on the right treasure this time.

When he saw the Zhou family's paper before, he said that the Nian family was unkind and unjust, and kept saying that he wanted to ask for "justice", but after being reminded by Master Wang, he tasted it carefully, but found that they didn't seem to really want any result, but they also wanted to drag the case. Thinking about it again, I'm afraid that the Zhou family is bluffing this time, but if I want to get more money---- Nian's family must be decent, so I have to take out some silver to block the Zhou family's mouth.

He asked Master Wang to transcribe the paper and take the post to visit the old man, not only to show goodwill, but also to see the reaction of the Nian family, if the Nian family wants to take money to settle the matter, he is happy to draw a copy, and he will be idle.

As a result, the old lady's reaction disappointed him very much,---- and he thanked him for his advice, and affirmed that he would definitely inquire into the matter and investigate the matter. Give everyone justice. is neither official, nor completely sincere, Rao is Master Wang has been a staff member with others for many years, and has been rolling in officialdom for half his life, and he has not been able to figure out whether the old man is too upright or too hypocritical, and he came back in a daze and handed over the errand.

On the same day, the white paper was handed over, and at night, some people claimed to be entrusted by the Zhou family. Two hundred taels of silver were offered, full of compliments. A top hat is sent out. The meaning of the words is still one word, "drag". Tao Liangfang knows what it means. Laughing at the silver, the case was thrown aside, anyway, the bitter master was not in a hurry, just let the Nian family break it up first.

However, the Nian family had a reaction, and the fifth master of the Nian family came to visit.

This year, the fifth master is dignified, personable, capable in speech, sincere in attitude, and more importantly. It's rare to have this courage, it's five hundred taels as soon as you make a shot! Tao Liangfang was talking while secretly praising in his heart,--- this year's family is really not comparable to the small Zhou family! Is there anything you can't understand about doing things with such people? Moreover, the fifth master took it out. It's not just silver.

The professional manager of the fifth master is not done for nothing. Extremely efficient.

Soon a coachman of Yao Ji was dug up, and it was proved that he picked up a woman and a little maid from the Tang Ji incense and candle shop on Cui Shenjun Street early in the morning of the eleventh day of the lunar month and went to Zhou Dahu's house on Zaoshu Street.

The coachman said. Tang Jidi's men looked for him, and the shopkeeper and a nǎinǎi negotiated the land price with him, and paid one penny of silver and twenty eldest sons for the car. Na nǎinǎi claimed that the woman was her sister-in-law, and instructed the car to walk steadily.

And the woman had her hair in a disheveled bun, her eyes were red and swollen with tears, and her fingerprints on her face were like them. The little maid was secretive when she got on and off the car, and her expression was panicked. Both are suspicious.

Master Tao Liangfang, who received the money and got clues, also had a very high efficiency, and summoned Tang Ji's Huo shopkeeper and a few guys to the court with an official document. The shopkeeper Huo didn't know what the Zhou family had told the Nian family, but when he heard the adult's question, it involved the private affairs of the nǎinǎi mother's family, and he didn't say much, so he was vague, and only said that the business was busy at the end of the year, and he forgot about it in the morning.

But a guy confessed that the eleventh shopkeeper had asked him to find a carriage, and it was useless for the shopkeeper Huo to rely on the debt. Master Tao shouted for punishment in annoyance, and the clamps of the officials just put up on his legs, and with a little force, the shopkeeper Huo immediately confessed that the rì was indeed the sister of the Tang Zhou clan of the proprietor who found it, and the two sisters had a quarrel and moved, and later Tang Zhou ordered him to find a car and send the sister away, and confessed that the maid brought by the Zhou family also knew everything.

So, the maids of the Zhou family and the maids of the Zhou family of the Nian family were all brought to the court, standing in rows, and let the shopkeeper Huo identify, and the little bracelet was picked up and slipped out. The hammer was thrown down the hall, and before he put it on his fingers, the little bracelet was already so frightened that he didn't dare to cry, and asked what to say, what to say, and what to say, and soon, a small red handprint was slapped on the confession. The case of Zhou Tiankui being beaten is even simpler, Zhou Tiankui has been a troublemaker since he was a child, and no one in the neighborhood knows that he is the most hot-tempered and hard-fisted. On the other hand, a few ruffians went to fight the seventh master of the Nian family, and those few did not have a good reputation, and they were in prison for a few days, even the officials could accuse them of being evildoers.

In the first trial, after a little torture, the gangsters confessed that Zhou Tiankui hired someone to beat Nian Yi for the silver, and Nian Yi's arson and slave murder immediately became legitimate defense. This year's friendship transformed from a murderer to a victim in one fell swoop, and the servants were not only meritorious---- but also sacrificed their lives to protect the lord and were loyal and righteous!

The case was soon decided, Zhou Tiankui deliberately bought the murderer and injured the person first, the thief shouted to catch the thief and framed the latter, the main offender was sentenced to 30 rods, and the accomplice was sentenced to 20 rods. Because the main culprit Zhou Tiankui had many broken bones on his body, he could not go to the hall to be punished, and Nian Jiaren did not pursue it, but gave 30 taels of silver as the cost of the decoction and medicine, so he only beat one accomplice and ended it.

Zhou Tiankui couldn't bring it to the court, but Tang Zhou was summoned to the court.

Because she always felt that she had a clear conscience, she didn't put herself on her sister's case at all,---- and someone promised to help her solve the case, telling her to just come forward to sue, and she didn't need to cāo

When the confession fell in front of her, the adults in the hall asked sharply, she was dumbfounded and panicked, her sharp mouth was like a peach plugged with a peach, and she couldn't speak clearly, and repeatedly only said that she was wronged, and that it was framed by others.

The evidence is conclusive, how can she not admit it? In the end, Lord Tao was shocked, criticized Tang Zhou's madness and his sister, acted viciously, and then fabricated false words, intending to blame his sister and concubine, which was really sinister, and should have been sentenced to prison, but the Nian family pleaded for mercy with virtue to repay grievances. He was sentenced to eighty rods.

left her with dignity, let her be tortured in her middle clothes, and she was not exposed in public. The board rose and fell, and soon the clothes were red, and the flesh and blood under the clothes were blurred. At first, Tang Zhou still cried and cursed, but then he couldn't scream. Fortunately, Tao Liangfang still remembered that there was a "Zhou family" of two hundred taels of silver, but fortunately, Tao Qingtian also felt very benevolent---- according to the rules, although he did not succeed. But the two hundred pieces of silver will not be returned, but. Ay. The old man is really kind-hearted, so he has the right to buy her life money--- so he secretly ordered people to be born under the cane. Left a breath for Tang Zhou.

A case was easily solved, and the fifth master of the Nian family ordered another three hundred taels to work hard with the yamen, and Tao Liangfang was very happy. When the Queen Mother sent a small yellow door to inquire about the case, Tao Liangfang felt that he was extremely wise, and he was busy writing books and submitting them to the Queen Mother after the court meeting.

Hey, this year's evaluation is a steady "up", and there are more benefits after the guarantee...... Immediately, he forgave someone to inform the fourth lady that Cai Su and Cai Wei were both sixteen or seventeen years old, and they should be released to match people.

At that time, the old lady Fang took the second lady and the fourth lady into the palace to worship the queen mother according to the rules. The fourth lady was still waiting in front of the old lady. After hearing the reply, he asked the old lady for his idea.

The old lady was scolded by the Queen Mother. His heart was not happy, and he was extremely tired, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Let him be!" It's all up to him! Let them do whatever they want from now on, and the old woman will be happy to be idle! ”

The fourth lady didn't dare to speak, and when the old lady was angry, she said with a smile that she wanted to go to Changshengju to make up for people: "Originally, there was a shortage of first-class maids in Changshengju, but this time I went to two second-class ones, and there was a group of little girls left, I am afraid that there is no one around Liulang." The old lady took pity on the subordinates and let them go, but there must be three in this Liulang room, and the number of eight according to the rules is made. According to the daughter-in-law, with four, it also makes ,---- that Qingying is also going to be a person in the house for Liulang in the morning, how does the old lady look at her? The daughter-in-law sees that she is good, and she should be worthy of being a concubine. It's better to prepare her for this lack of children first, so as not to use the person who is looking for it when the time comes. ”

The old lady sighed and said, "Liulang Niang is not early, and my jīng god head is also short, these things still point to you as aunts." You and Luo Niang discuss the tune. Luo is the maiden name of the second lady Gao, and the second lady hurriedly got up and followed.

The two of them chose four maids to send to the Eternal Residence, who knew that one of them refused to accept it, but the people were enough.

The second lady personally went to persuade and dismissed the others, and said: "Don't say it, these little girls in your courtyard don't act, there must be two people who properly watch the medicine and apply the plaster." If you don't keep any of them, and say that there are many suspicious people, I'm afraid that the old lady's side or your fourth aunt's side will call a green to come over with you. If you think about it, there are still a few people at your aunt's hand, and if you don't like us to choose the place, you can choose the person yourself. ”

Nian Liang only left two little maids who had little to do with the house and were not very old, named Cai Algae and Cai Ai, all of which were set to be third-class, but the original Cai Shu and Cai were raised into the second class, and the first class was still Qing Ying.

Cai Wei had nothing to do with leaving, and she had already planned for the left and right, so she received the reward of Nian Yu, thanked her and went back to pack her things. Cai Su was crying and wiping away tears and refused to clean up, one only shouted to see the sixth master to complain, Nian Yu ignored it at first, and then asked Qingying to pass two sentences to her, and she was slightly at ease.

Cai Su Lao Tzu Niang was also unhappy when she got the letter. The old lady said to the fourth lady, and then walked the way of the old lady to accompany the old lady to the mother-in-law Zhang, and interceded with the old lady.

They should have been unlucky, but they didn't choose the right time. The fourth lady only coldly refused, and Cai Su Niang returned in a daze; Granny Zhang didn't know what to say, which made the old lady unhappy, and she was slapped with her mouth, knocking out a few more teeth that had almost fallen out, and her old face was lost for decades.

The old lady and the mother-in-law who accompanied the room did not deal with each other, and they were all harsh, this time Granny Zhang made a faceless trouble, Granny Zhou and several others were all sneering and extremely bad, and the people below also clapped their hands and applauded, pointing and pointing openly and secretly. Granny Zhang had a belly of fire, and they all fell on the old lady Caisu, and she hated her.

After sending the god of the stove, a green curtain car sent the two maids of the Changshengju out of the Nianfu. Cai Su faded out of her sight in a way that Xia Xiaoman had never expected.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, there were two other things that fell into her sight.

Five nǎinǎi that case is settled. They were all framed by the Zhou family, and the Nian family had a good reputation for generosity and benevolence, and they didn't even know how to reach the heavens, and the emperor and the queen mother also gave rewards and praised their virtues.

As soon as the seventh master who was raising sticks and sores on the sickbed got the letter that he had won the lawsuit, he immediately wrote a letter of resignation on the couch and sent someone to Zhou's house. After the implementation, he reported his grievances to his parents and grandparents, saying that his wife was unladylike. almost affected his family, and his wife had a serious illness. Therefore he divorced his wife and apologized.

When the old lady entered the palace today. The queen mother handed over the Taoliangfang land to her, and said two sentences to the old lady as if she had nothing. Let's say that the emperor and her look at the martial arts family Rong Niang is good, although the temper is not so supple, but the most kind-hearted, if the daughter of the Zhou family, Tang Zhou, is so vicious, I can't point to it. Then he appeased her, praised the virtue of the Nian family, and did not pursue the Zhou family.

The old lady couldn't say a word, and she hated the Zhou family so much that her teeth itched. Therefore, at this time, the seventh master mentioned that he was going to take a leave of absence from the Zhou family, but she ignored it.

The old lady was furious. directly reprimanded the seventh master for his injustice, and beat him again, and finally asked everyone to persuade him to come down,---- the resignation book has been sent out of the truth that it has not been recovered, and the Zhou family is at a loss. I don't dare to do anything. The old lady was helpless. is going to send a message to Zhou's house, although the daughter-in-law is retired. If the mother's family wants to take it back, they will take it back, if they don't want to take it back, they will still live in Yunjing'an, and the Nian family will give Yunjing'an incense money every year.

The words of seven nǎinǎi were Hugh fell from the mouth of nine nǎinǎi to Xia Xiaoman's ears.

Since ancient times, "men do not worship the moon, and women do not sacrifice to the stove". The female dependents of the ritual of sacrificing the stove are not involved. When Jiu nǎinǎi was sacrificing at the sacrificial stove, he came to Changshengju, sent sugar to Xia Xiaoman, and mentioned this matter again.

Although his mouth is full of sweet, greasy and greasy sugar, he can't hide the sour and astringent tone in his mouth. She not only complained about the seven nǎinǎi, reprimanded the Zhou family for being vicious, but also contained the meaning of derogatory five nǎinǎi and the seventh master, and finally sighed. I have to say that at this step in the field, there are no rest books are general, and the seven nǎinǎi are like this in this life, even if there is no rest, even if she is one day rì is good, it is difficult to return to the door of the year--- her mother's house is like this, how can she come back and face the people of her husband's family?

If it is said that the seven nǎinǎi was destroyed in the hands of the seventh master before, and later it was destroyed in the hands of her own family, but in fact, it was destroyed in her own hands. If she weren't like this, she wouldn't have turned out like this.

Don't complain about the east wind.

Nine nǎinǎi were sent away, and five nǎinǎi messengers were ushered in.

The younger brother of Wu nǎinǎi entrusted Fennel to Xia Xiaoman an ordinary-looking square box.

"Brother slave said, it's the sauce beans called by five nǎinǎi," Fennel said with a smile, "If he turns five nǎinǎi, the Hefang Ji shop in the early years is gone, this is made by the side family in imitation of his family, and the taste is still good, thinking that you brought it last time, I must also like this mouthful, so I sent it to you to taste." It's a return gift. ”

Piggyback, not a word.

A package of oiled paper wrapped in ground sauce beans, with six silver bills with a denomination of fifty taels pressed underneath. It was the smallest silver ticket in Daqin.

Xia Xiaoman fiddled with the silver ticket, remembering the first bribe he received when he first went to work, the five hundred shopping coupons from the raw material supplier.

That's an unspoken rule, in a buyer's market, the seller is the chosen party, and in order to be selected, he has to pay something---- even if you are trading normally. This so-called hard work, the buyer's purchasing department takes the lion's share, and the rest of the relevant departments take the small head, and everyone has a share. That's the game.

But at that time, she had just left school, and she didn't dare to take it, and she was taught by her seniors so that she accepted it with a little trepidation. After that, the second time, the third time,......, the Nth time, she didn't feel anything anymore. She's completely immersed in the game.

And now, these silver tickets are heralding another kind of game rules.

"A return gift?" Xia Xiaoman tugged at the corners of his mouth, put the silver ticket back in the box, and said, "Fill some snacks and return the original box." told her that the sixth master really likes to eat soy beans, but it has nothing to do with me, and I don't dare to thank her. ”

She Xia Xiaoman did this for her own benefit, and it has nothing to do with the five nǎinǎi itself, and now she took the silver of the five nǎinǎi, but she became a person who worked for her, and she was short of hands, and she wanted to become a person of five nǎinǎi, that would be a big mess.

Wu nǎinǎi this time is to offend all the people of the Nian family, and the road in the future is not only full of thorns, but I am afraid that it will be full of wind and rain, thunder, lightning, swords, and shadows. Whoever ties to her is unlucky.

This game, five nǎinǎi Xu is playable, but she Xia Xiaoman can't afford to play.

But the box was finally brought back.

Fennel cautiously replied: "Five nǎinǎi said, if you don't say it, who knows that the sixth master likes sauce beans?" Not for the sake of the side, thank you for your willingness to say. I have a clear distinction between one case and one case, which has nothing to do with before and will not be relevant in the future. ”

Xia Xiaoman smiled dumbly, sure enough, one yard is one yard, he doesn't talk about human feelings, and if he receives the silver, he doesn't owe each other. After that, if Wu nǎinǎi wants to find trouble with Nian Forgive, they can't use the kindness of this help to suppress her.

Accepted. Xia Xiaoman smiled, she thought people were troublesome, and people thought she was troublesome. What each other wants is this effect--- it has nothing to do with in the future.

Xia Xiaoman asked Fennel to take his own silver box, and put the silver ticket in one place. Another three hundred taels, one step closer to her goal. Looking at the shiny silver, she touched her left eyelid, and she kept jumping, but she didn't encounter a disaster, but finally attracted the wealth.

It turns out that the left eye is a jumper, and this time I have to write it down. She said to herself.

------------ indiscriminate vote dividing line------------

"Five Good Families of the Ming Dynasty 2", in the hot PK in January.

Sixteen's dream is to press the snow under the pink ticket mountain, so that she can snatch her six-pound baby to my house to play.

We are looking for volunteers to help make this dream come true. ^-^
