Huayang's face fell, and he shouted in a low voice: "What's the matter, what's not it?" I warn you, that the seventy-three thousand taels of silver must be repaid within ten days. I have an IOU in hand, if you don't pay it back, then we'll see you in court, and I'll let you go to jail! ”

He leaned close to Aunt Xiao's ear: "I heard that you have a daughter who is like a flower, if you don't want to pay back the money, you can give your daughter to the uncles to play for two days, and we can also write off this money, what do you think?" ”

"Ahh Aunt Xiao screamed and angrily beat Huayang: "You are dreaming! You don't want to touch a cold hair of my Jingyu! ”

"Remember, I'll give you ten days. If you don't do it in ten days, you will either see you in court or send your daughter here. Huayang laughed, and walked away with Wu Yunyi: "The taste of this official daughter, our brothers haven't tasted it yet, it must be good if you think about it!" ”

Aunt Xiao's hands and feet were weak, her body and mind were broken, and she collapsed on the carriage in exhaustion.

She looked up at the deep mansion in despair, her heart swelling with endless panic and helplessness, and she didn't know how she had floated back to the Plum Garden.

As soon as Shen Jingyu saw her appearance, she immediately knew that the matter had not been done, and sat on the chair with tears in her eyes, and she couldn't help crying. Aunt Xiao saw her pretty face with pear blossoms and rain, such a beautiful daughter, how could she be willing to give it to those two liars?

The two of them were sad, and Aunt Xiao shouted sadly: "Jingyu." He put his arm around her and hugged her in pain.

The two cried for a while, and the girl knocked on the door, saying that the housekeeper Xu from the Mu family's house had come with the big housekeeper, and he wanted to upgrade the furnishings and objects in each house and courtyard, and came to decorate the room for them.

Aunt Xiao was stunned for a moment, her eyes aimed at the cabinet behind her, and she saw that there were more than a dozen treasures and antiques on the cabinet nearly a foot high. As soon as she rolled her eyes, the Mu family had a big business, and she wouldn't find it if she missed one or two pieces. These things are all priceless, and if you quietly take some and sell them, won't you be able to alleviate the urgent need for a while?

Shen Jingyu saw her eyes fall on the cupboard, and she also knew what she was thinking, so she pulled her sleeve: "Mother, the girl said that the objects in these cabinets are all registered ......."

"Silly!" Aunt Xiao nodded her head: "You can't take the ones in the cupboard, but what about the ones on the table?" What about those in the room? ”

Shen Jingyu's eyes lit up, her mother was right, those things are not recorded!

The two said they would do it, Aunt Xiao gave Shen Jingyu a look, asked her to go out first to deal with Steward Xu, and took a turn in the house by herself, and received the inconspicuous and unrecorded ornaments in the corner into the alley.

Shen Jingyu went out, saw Steward Xu, blessed her body first, and smiled apologetically: "The labor steward and the housekeeper have been waiting for a long time, my mother is a little unwell and is resting." You please take a break in the flower hall, and I will go and tell my mother to get up. She turned her head and saw that the girl who led the two of them in was Pei Rong, Pei Rong was originally from the Mu family, she had never liked it in her heart, but there was no other girl to follow at the moment, so she had to order: "Pei Rong, you go and pour tea for Steward Xu and Steward Zhang, and then those pastries." ”

Steward Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Miss Shen is polite, since Mrs. Shen hasn't woken up yet, why don't I go to Aunt Shen's place first and come back later?" ”

"It's okay, bother the housekeeper to make an extra trip." Shen Jingyu raised her eyes flattered, as if she was very grateful.

Steward Zhang liked her sensibility and peacefulness, and without saying much, he turned around and went to Aunt Shen's yard.

Shen Jingyu didn't see it, as soon as Steward Xu came out to appreciate Meiting, he immediately parted ways with Steward Zhang and went to listen to the wind.

Shen Jingyu returned to the room and saw Aunt Xiao holding a thousand-armed Guanyin looking triumphantly, so she quickly closed the door and trotted to Aunt Xiao's side: "It's all cleaned up?" ”

The corners of Aunt Xiao's eyebrows and eyes were full of sorrow: "Don't worry, it's all searched in the corner, and you can't find it in the safekeeping." ”

The hearts of the two of them settled down, and they were not as panicked as they were at the beginning. Aunt Xiao cleaned up and dressed up, and went straight to the second-hand market to resell the small pendants, leaving Shen Jingyu alone, waiting for Steward Xu and Steward Zhang in the Plum Appreciation Garden.

Steward Xu went to listen to Fengzhu, and told Mu Yunge what happened in the Plum Garden, and praised it sincerely: "Miss is really like a god, the old slave took Steward Zhang to the Plum Garden, and I obviously heard the cries of the two at the door, and after a while, Miss Shen came out, saying that Mrs. Shen had slept and would not let us in." According to what Miss said, the old slave asked Steward Zhang to go to Aunt Shen first, and estimated that it would be time to go to the plum court in a short time. ”

"Are all the things in the garden recorded in the book?" Mu Yunge was practicing the piano, and when he heard the words, he held down the strings.

Steward Xu thought for a while, and then said: "The things in the cabinet are all registered in the warehouse, and some other things that are not very valuable and are relatively easy to break are not registered." ”

"Those aren't worth a few dollars, just take them." Mu Yunge sneered: "You went to the Plum Garden, remember to publicize it well, how valuable are these newly replaced decorations!" ”

She didn't believe it, Aunt Xiao, who jumped off the wall in a hurry, would not be moved and would not go to a dead end!

Steward Xu answered, and seeing that she had no other instructions, he bowed down and retreated to meet Steward Zhang.

Steward Zhang had just come out of Aunt Shen's place, and was leading the girl to the Plum Garden, and Steward Xu came at the right time, and both went to the Plum Garden.

Shen Jingyu welcomed the two in, and their own subordinates began to move things, and Shen Jingyu accompanied Steward Xu and Steward Zhang to sit in the hall for a while.

Steward Xu glanced at the room and saw that the things moved by the girl's subordinates were all recorded, first in the cupboard, and then some miscellaneous ornaments, so he couldn't help but nod and said with a smile: "Although these furnishings are valuable, they will be tired after looking at them for a long time, anyway, there is no shortage of these in the warehouse, change them to fresh, Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen also live comfortably!" ”

"It's my aunt who thinks thoughtfully," Shen Jingyu smiled with a hint of gratitude: "Jingyu and her mother's family are gone, and now she lives in the Mu family, and her aunt has considered everything for Jingyu's mother and daughter, and Jingyu can't repay this kindness ......"

Steward Xu hurriedly relieved: "It's all bad old slaves, and it makes Miss sad again......" He said, his eyes kept looking between the girls who were shuttling.

Because Shen Jingyu suddenly cried, the girl who was carrying things couldn't help but be curious, and glanced at her a few more times.

When Steward Xu saw it, he was immediately furious and shouted, "If there is anything to see, be careful!" Mint, take the things in your hand, that is the bronze chain of the Qin Dynasty, there are only three existing in the world, one will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, if it is broken, you can't afford a thousand! ”

Another family member shook his hand in fright, and a white porcelain bottle almost fell to the ground, and Steward Xu hurriedly ran over and narrowly caught the bottle.

"Ouch, just said it carefully, you gave me something wrong again! This is white porcelain, an antique from the Han Dynasty! Steward Xu carefully held the bottle and put it on the cupboard, before saying, "These girls are hairy, Miss Shen, don't be surprised." It's not that the old slave talks a lot, it's just that these objects are the most precious things, and if they are put aside in the homes of the people, one piece is enough to spend a lifetime! ”

Shen Jingyu's eyes swirled with those items, and she watched the girls' every move carefully, secretly thinking in her heart, which items were registered and which ones did not need to be registered.

Steward Xu will accept it when he sees it, say no more, wait for the girls to fiddle with it, confess the crime, and leave with someone.

Soon, Aunt Xiao came back from outside with a smile on her face and threw the silver ticket in her arms to Shen Jingyu: "With this silver, our livelihood these days is finally not worried." ”

Shen Jingyu roughly counted, there were nearly 20,000 taels, and her eyes suddenly widened: "Those little things are sold so much?" ”

"Isn't it?" Aunt Xiao secretly applauded her idea, her face darkened, poured a cup of tea, and boasted to Shen Jingyu with invitation: "My mother walked a few shops, and her legs were broken, so she sold them for a good price." ”

"However, there are only 20,000 taels here, and there are still 53,000 taels of silver missing, where can we raise them?" Shen Jingyu felt sad when she thought of this debt, and her resentment towards Aunt Xiao diluted the joy of having silver.

Aunt Xiao said "hey" and said nonchalantly: "It's only sold so little, we have 20,000 taels, and there are a few bigger ones in the box in the corner over there, isn't that more valuable?" After selling these, do we still have to worry about running out of money? ”

She rested for a while, and saw that it was getting late, and there were not many girls in and out, so she went out again with a celadon square pot in her arms.

Shen Jingyu was full of anticipation, and when Aunt Xiao came back, she hurriedly greeted her: "How is it, how much did it sell?" ”

Aunt Xiao's face was not good-looking, and she remembered that when she brought those small things to the door during the day, the shopkeeper smiled very attentively, nodded and bowed like a dog, but at night he took the big one, he only glanced at it, and said: "This celadon is not worth anything, three hundred taels of silver, if you want to sell it, you can sell it, if you don't sell it, you will leave!" But Aunt Xiao was so angry that she smoked, and when she heard Shen Jingyu ask, she rushed straight to Shen Jingyu angrily: "How much did you sell?" It's just such a thing, only three hundred taels of silver! ”

It's only to blame Aunt Xiao for not knowing the goods, thinking that the bigger the more valuable, but I don't know that several of those small pendants in the day are from the Western Regions. One of the wind chimes was still made of ivory, and she asked for 10,000 taels of silver on the white market, and she sold it to the shopkeeper for 3,000 taels of silver.

"Do you still sell the others?" When Shen Jingyu heard this, her heart trembled.

Aunt Xiao snorted: "Why don't you sell it, no matter how small the sparrow is, it is meat, and it can make up for a little!" ”

Under the cover of the night, Aunt Xiao moved a few more things and traded them on the black market, and after a few trips, she had five thousand taels of silver in her pocket, so she gave up.

The two of them thought they didn't know it, but they didn't expect this move to fall into Mu Yunge's eyes, she smiled slightly, fishing is going to be big, let them go first, and when the time comes, they will get it back.

The next day was the fifth day of the new year, Mu Yunge took leave from the academy again, sent Mu Jinran to Luyuan Academy, and turned around and returned home. She made an appointment with Jing Chuntang, the shopkeeper of the branch of the Mu family's shop, for tea, and made sufficient preparations before taking Pei Xin, Pei Ying, Xu Steward and some family members to the appointment.
