CHAPTER XXXVI

Not only did Ye Rong think of asking the Qi family for silver, but Ye Fu, Ye Ji, and even the second master also thought of it.

Ye Fu is the same as Ye Rong, the things in the house have been damaged a lot, but they can't pay for it. And Ye Ji is silver overspent, he has always been generous in the academy, often invite classmates to get together, which has brought him good popularity, but the monthly silver is not enough for him to do this, so the silver he receives in the account every month is overspent. When the Qi family was in charge, the account office just kept the accounts clear, but it didn't stop him from giving it, and now that the Meng family is in charge, he naturally asked him to make up for the overspent silver.

The situation of the second master Ye Chengxun and Ye Ji is somewhat similar, he is not like the third master Ye Chengxun, who has a powerful father-in-law to be the peak, he can only rely on himself. Ye Chengxun is diligent, but he is not knowledgeable, for the sake of official positions, he often goes up and down, and it is common to invite guests and give gifts. When the Qi family was in charge, he would try his best to put these expenses on the account of the public middle school, but he refused to change the Meng family, "The second brother and the third brother's monthly silver are one hundred taels, even if there is some entertainment, it is enough, and the third brother will never invite his colleagues to eat and go to the account of the public middle school." When I was in charge of the house, it was always this rule. ”

The second old man suddenly became strapped for money, and he also thought of the Qi family, the Qi family has been in charge for many years, he knew that she was greedy for some silver, and he never asked her to ask for it, because he had never lacked silver flowers, and there was no difference between putting it in the Qi family and putting it here for himself.

Meng deliberately did not stop him, and these people all met Qi smoothly.

Qi's head is as big as a bucket, the silver of the three children is easy to say, it is not much, after making up for it, let them pay attention to saving every month, and spend as much as they want, but Ye Chengxun is a bottomless pit there, now she is no longer in charge, there is no endless silver in the account, if the silver ticket in her hand is handed over to Ye Chengxun, then she will have no property. Especially Ye Chengxun is so ruthless and unrighteous, knowing that she was wronged and helping the old lady to trap her, and now she is locked up, who knows if one day she will abandon herself on the charge of poisoning Mrs. Hou?

No, absolutely not, Qi shook her head again and again, she couldn't give the silver to Ye Chengxun, she had to keep it for herself, in case she was divorced, at least not for nothing.

Xiao Ying wiped the table diligently, while secretly observing Qi's expression, and sighed, "Madam, you are so pitiful, you are all locked up, and the master also asked the wife for silver, I hope the master will not take advantage of the wife's absence to take away your jewelry." "These days, she serves Qi very hard, not only with quick hands and feet, but also very caring, and has won the trust of Qi Shi, even if she says something too much, Qi will not blame her.

Qi Shi waved his hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if the jewelry or anything, it doesn't matter if he wants to take it." "The point is that the silver tickets are still there.

Xiaoying saw that the Qi family didn't understand what she meant, so she had to work harder, "The slave maid is distressed by his wife, there is always something in the house that is beloved by his wife, if it is taken away by the master, the wife will definitely be sad." Like the most precious thing of the slave and maid is the silver hairpin on the head, this is the most valuable thing on the slave and maid, if anyone dares to rob it, the slave and the maid will fight with him. ”

Qi just wanted to laugh at Xiaoying's childishness, a silver hairpin is also worth working hard, but her brain suddenly turned around, although the jewelry doesn't matter, but there is indeed her beloved thing in the house, that is, those silver tickets! In case he was turned out by Ye Chengxun, even if there was a lock on the box, he wouldn't be able to stop him.

Qi Shi suddenly couldn't sit still, and anxiously walked around the room a few times. What to do? Where should I put those silver tickets?

Put it on your side? No, it's all the silver she was greedy for, she can't see the light, she is now a guilty body, Meng has every reason to search the small courtyard where she lives, if she searches out the silver ticket, she can't explain why she has so much silver, and she can only watch Meng take the silver ticket away when the time comes.

Beside your children? No, the three children are all lavish, so much money is given to them, firstly, they may have squandered it, and secondly, it may be distributed to Ye Chengxun, and when they are released or abandoned, they still have nothing.

Give it to my mother's brother for safekeeping? No, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are all open-minded when they see the money, I don't know how many benefits they have scavenged from themselves over the years, such a large sum of money is handed over to them, they can only be meat buns and dogs, and in the end they still have nothing.

The Qi family is going crazy, and she needs someone who is affectionate and righteous and does not covet her property to help her keep this large amount of silver tickets. She walked around the room a few times without a clue, not to mention, she really thought of a person.

When the Qi family was in the boudoir, next door was a wealthy businessman surnamed Lu, the youngest son of the wealthy businessman Lu Wenbin was the same age as her, and the two played together since childhood. Although she married into the Hou Mansion in the end, Lu Wenbin did not blame her, and still gives gifts during the New Year's holidays. received the New Year's gift from Lu Fu, she always had a trace of hidden sweetness in her heart, and felt that Lu Wenbin must not have forgotten the old love, and expressed her affection to herself in this fair and honest way. In front of everyone's eyes, of course she can't do anything, but it's still okay to exchange courtesies, she confidently returned the gift to the Lu Mansion as usual, although it is no different from the return gift to each family, but in her heart, it can be regarded as you coming and going.

The person that Qi thought of was Lu Wenbin. He can be said to be affectionate and righteous to himself, and his family is a wealthy businessman, so he will definitely not covet his own silver.

After thinking about the candidate, Qi decided to write a letter and send it with the silver ticket.

After tearing up several pieces of paper, Qi finally decided to call him "Brother Wenbin" like when he was a child, hoping that he could remember the affection when he was a child and help him properly keep this large amount of silver tickets.

In order to prevent anyone from stealing the letter, Qi did not specify the specific amount, but only wrote "There are some things, put them in Brother Wenbin, and I hope Brother Wenbin will help me keep them."

After writing the letter, Qi carefully took out a key from his body, handed it to Xiaoying, and told her to go to her house, find the big box with red lacquer and shellfish, and open it, with a stack of silver tickets wrapped in a very old green jacket, and send the silver tickets to Lu Wenbin in Lu Mansion together with the letter. Qi said solemnly: "Now I can only rely on you, Xiaoying, help me do this well, I will not treat you badly in the future, not only the silver hairpin, but also the golden hairpin." ”

"Don't worry, Mrs., the slave will do this for you." Xiaoying nodded vigorously and left with the key and letter.

She didn't go to Qi's courtyard, but quietly found Meng's. After reading the letter written by the Qi family, the Meng family almost laughed out loud, why is the Qi family so naΓ―ve, the reason why Lu Wenbin sent the New Year's gift was not because he was worried about her, but because she was in the Hou Mansion, the Lu family was just a merchant, and it was naturally a good thing to be able to climb the Hou Mansion.

Meng Shi's white fingers lightly tapped twice on the table, and whispered a few words.

Xiaoying then went to Qi's courtyard. The Qi family poisoned Mrs. Hou, and the maids and women in her yard were frightened, for fear that they would have something to do with this matter, and the people in the entire courtyard were sent everywhere by the Meng family, leaving only a few rough guards to clean the yard.

Xiaoying carried her chin and entered the house, but no one dared to stop her. She opened the big red lacquer shell-inlaid box, took out the green gown, turned out the silver ticket inside and hid it in her arms, and packed part of Qi's jewelry, together with the green gown and the letter, packed it into a small bag, carried it out of the courtyard, and went to find Meng again.

Xiaoying handed over all the silver tickets in her arms to Meng's, Meng's nodded, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, she also compared the expenses of her own family and the expenses of Qi's family, and naturally knew the difference in her heart, but she thought that since this idea was taught by the old lady, then Qi's must have taken a small head, but she didn't expect that looking at the amount of this silver ticket, Qi's greed for ink was a big head, and the old lady didn't have much.

Meng's full lips curled up with satisfaction, it stands to reason that this money is in the public middle school, and she should also return it to the public middle school, but she doesn't want to do it at all, the so-called public middle school, how much does she and her son and baby daughter spend, and it is not an old lady, a second room, or a third room, she has been poisoned by them for so many years, and the Qi family has treated her baby daughter openly and secretly, so she will not return this silver, it should be regarded as Qi's compensation for her baby daughter, she wants to keep it and make a dowry for her daughter. Anyway, even if black eats black, the Qi family doesn't dare to come to ask for justice.

Meng put away the silver ticket, looked at the hour, and let Xiaoying go out.

Xiaoying took the little burden and went out of the second gate, through the flowers and trees, seeing that the second master came from a distance, she lowered her head and walked all the way, and slammed into the second master at the corner of the path, and the little burden came out of her hand.

Ye Chengxun was furious, he was strapped for money, he was already in a bad mood, and the short-eyed minion bumped into him, and he was about to let people drag him down and beat him, but he saw the small baggage on the ground spread out, revealing bright jewelry inside.

Where does a slave have such good jewelry, he was suspicious, and bent down to get the little baggage, Xiaoying seemed to react at this time, and hurriedly snatched the little burden into his arms.

Ye Chengxun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Xiaoying, feeling that she was a little familiar, and after a little recollection, he remembered that this was the only maid in the courtyard where the Qi family lived now. At this time, he was even more suspicious in his heart, and the long entourage who followed behind him snatched the small burden in Xiaoying's arms.

Xiaoying "struggled desperately", but she was a little girl, how could she beat a strong man, the little burden was snatched away by Chang Sui and handed over to Ye Chengxun.

Ye Chengxun tore the burden away, and at a glance recognized that the jewelry inside was often worn by the Qi family, in addition to the jewelry, there was also a very old green jacket, which looked to be many years old, and there was a letter pressed on the jacket.

Ye Chengxun stared at the letter, he had a bad premonition, and a voice in his heart was persuading him not to open the letter, but his fingers still stretched out.

"Slut!" After reading the letter, Ye Chengxun was furious.
