Chapter 232: Rescue Comes to the Door

Old Madam Lu and Wen Yi were both taken aback when they heard this, and Wen Yi immediately stood up and asked, "What's going on?" Let's talk about it carefully, the uncle of the Liu family is not at home, did he go to the camp? ”

Zhao Da hurriedly replied: "Uncle went to the camp in Jingnan, and I heard from his family that he had not come back for seven or eight days, and I got the news that the court set the fifth day of the next month, and the army was set to go home, and I estimated that my uncle should be able to go home before that." My uncle's housekeeper has always been useful, and with him cooking, there is nothing to do at home. It's just that early this morning, a steward of Shangshu Mansion brought people over, saying that it was for the young master of the Liu family to do a happy event, and the house was going to hold a banquet to entertain guests, and the antiques used for decoration were not enough, thinking that there were also a few antiquities left by the old lady in the uncle, and when the uncle moved out, Lord Shangshu gave him the things, and now there is an urgent need in the house, and he wants to borrow it back for a few days. The uncle's housekeeper said that the master was not at home, he didn't dare to make his own decisions, and refused to open the treasury for them to take things away, and the steward of the Shangshu Mansion quarreled with him, and the trouble lasted until the end of the day, and the third aunt and wife got the news in the Shangshu Mansion, so she personally brought someone over and tied up the housekeeper, and now the people of the uncle's family stopped them and didn't let the aunt take people away. Seeing that the situation was not good, the little one got the news from the concierge of his uncle's house, and immediately rushed back to report the news. ”

Wen Yi was angry when she heard this: "So, the people of Shangshu Mansion are still making trouble at this time?" Isn't this overt bullying? "Liu Dongxing is not at home, although there are housekeepers at home, how can he cope with the dignified Mrs. Shangshu? The third aunt did it on purpose, Liu Dongxing hasn't left yet, she just went to the door with a cane to take the property, if Liu Dongxing really left the capital, wouldn't she want to take all his net worth? Liu Dongxing is also an official, leading the imperial court, and she is a warrior who is about to go to the northern frontier, how can she have such courage?

Old Madam Lu snorted coldly: "It's really a shame for our Gu family's daughter" After saying that, she called someone to pass on Zhong Maolin back, and ordered him to report to the Shilang Mansion immediately: "Ask the eldest lady for me, how did she teach her daughter, that is still a court official, before she left Beijing, she dared to bring people to the door to seize property and sell people, dare to love because Aunt Liu's reputation is too good, and the days are too quiet, do you want to let the imperial history find something unhappy for Aunt Liu?" It's just that she doesn't care about her own husband, our Gu family still has to be face-saving, don't think that she got married, became the wife of the family, and her husband is a high-ranking official, so she will leave behind the reputation of her mother's ancestors."

Zhong Maolin took the order and hurriedly went. Wen Yi was a little relieved, thought about it, and secretly applauded her grandmother's approach, but she was still a little worried: "Uncle Zhong's errand will always take some time, and when the eldest uncle and grandmother get the letter, they will send someone over, I don't know when it will be." The third aunt is Mrs. Shangshu, and she brought many people, and Brother Liu moved out of the independent door, and there are not many people in the family, what if you can't stop it? The granddaughter is afraid that they are all domestic servants, and even if they make trouble in front of the officials, they will also suffer. ”

Old Madam Lu said with a straight face: "What if you make trouble in front of the official?" Although this matter is a junior's slave colliding with the elders, how can it not be that the elders are unkind and want to bully the juniors? It's really troublesome, it's embarrassing Aunt Liu, I can't wait for the government to seriously try the case, so that everyone in Beijing knows how the heirs of the concubine occupy the property of the eldest son, and repeatedly bully the bloodline of the lineage."

Wen Yi also felt happy when she heard this, but she still had some sense, and persuaded in a low voice: "Grandmother, don't be angry, if this matter really comes out, Brother Liu may not be able to get anything good, although he is the eldest son, but Uncle Liu's biological mother is the daughter of the Yao family." ”

Old Madam Lu paused when she heard this, and she was also a little deflated, and her face became even more ugly. Now although Queen Yao has no children, her position in the palace is stable, the Yao family is the home of the eunuchs, and there are many protégés of the clan who are eunuchs for the officials.

Thinking of this, she had no choice but to order: "Send a few people to Yangliver Hutong and calm people down first." After thinking about it, I felt that it was still unstable, so I simply asked someone to set up a car: "I'll go there in person to see if our third aunt doesn't even know how to respect the elders, so she doesn't have the face to let the juniors respect her."

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "It's good for your granddaughter to go over once, you have only been on the road for many days, and you haven't rested yet, how can you be tired again?" ”

Old Madam Lu gave her a blank look: "What identity do you use to talk to your third aunt?" She doesn't know what ugly words she will say with her broken mouth, so she doesn't have to make you suffer. I'm in good health, so I don't need to worry about this," he insisted on letting the otter go, and asked the heather to wait for him to change out of his clothes.

Wen Yi saw that she couldn't stay, so she had to hurriedly go back to the room and change her clothes, and came over to personally help her grandmother go out and get into the car. When Wen Liang got the news, he wanted to come over to escort him, and Mrs. Lu thought that it was good to have a son and nephew to support the scene, and Wen Liang was the son of the patriarch of the Gu clan, so he also had weight in his words, so she let him go together.

The group hurried to Yangjiaer Hutong, and it was already half an hour, only to see that the front of the Liu family's house was deserted, only two mothers-in-law were there to pack up their things, and the door was half crooked.

Wen Yi heard the report of her family, and said badly, and hurriedly asked Zhao Da to ask for details, sure enough, someone called Shangshufu tied up Liu Dongxing's housekeeper, and now only Liu Dongxing's nurse in the family can still restrain the subordinates, and sent someone out of the city to report the news to the Jingnan camp, but I heard that the rules there are extremely strict, no matter the sergeant and officer, if you go in, you can't easily leave the camp without the permission of the official, and you don't know how to end it.

Wen Yi was secretly anxious in her heart, and Old Madam Lu's face was even more ugly: "It's late, but your third aunt is really bold, and I don't know where to get people this time."

Seeing this, Wen Liang proposed: "My nephew and grandson will go to the official mansion and ask?" The housekeeper is a slave of her brother-in-law, and although the third aunt is an elder, it is not easy to sell people, and the deed is not in her hands, and she always has to go to the official to make a document when she changes hands. ”

Old Madam Lu sneered: "How could your third aunt not know such a simple truth? Naturally, she won't sell people immediately, and at this time, she must have been pulled back to the house, and she doesn't know how to toss it."

Wen Yi hurriedly said, "Grandmother, let's go to Shangshu Mansion again, shall we?" I have to get people out."

Mrs. Lu was about to speak, when Zhao reported outside the car: "Old lady, miss, second young master, aunt's grandmother has come to say goodbye." ”

As soon as Wen Yi heard it, he knew that it was Liu Dongxing's nurse, remembering that her surname was Shu, and she heard Liu Dongxing say that she was very good to him, when he was a child, he had no parents, and when he was offended in the second uncle's house, she helped him a lot, so as soon as he moved out of the independent door, he took out the nurse's family. She hurriedly said, "Is it Mama Shu?" Come on, please. ”

Mama Shu is about forty years old, with a medium build, a round face, slender eyes, a round nose, and although her appearance is not outstanding, it makes people feel angry at a glance. At this time, she was wearing a bean green jacket, an indigo long skirt, a long purple armor on her body, a round bun on her head, a few silver hairpins inlaid with jade, and a black satin embroidered Fushou pattern on her forehead. She walked to the front of the car and saw that the curtain of the car was lifted, revealing two female dependents, an old man and a young woman, and knew that the young one must be the future young grandmother, and the other was naturally the grandmother of the young grandmother. She was in a somewhat complicated mood, but she didn't forget to be polite, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay a visit: "The old slave has seen Mrs. Gu and Miss Gu Jiu. ”

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Please, you are Brother Xing'er's nurse, you don't need to be polite." Wen Yi saw Mama Shu get up, so she hurriedly asked, "Mama doesn't know what the situation is now?" Zhao Da knew that something happened to you here, so he immediately went back to report it to us, but when we rushed over, everyone seemed to be scattered, and I heard that the housekeeper was taken away, I don't know where it was sent? ”

Mama Shu's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she lowered her head and cried: "Our head of the family was taken away by the second lady, saying that she was going to sell it, but listening to her tone, she was about to take it back to Shangshu Mansion first, and I don't know what kind of crime I will suffer......

Wen Yi knew that the housekeeper was Mama Shu's husband, and she was a little anxious. With such an identity, Liu Dongxing will never give in, he is about to go to war, but something happened at home, how can he feel at ease? She looked at her grandmother pleadingly. Old Madam Lu's face sank: "Your third aunt is becoming more and more disagreeable now, even when she was the patriarch of the long house in the past, I never heard that your second aunt would bypass your uncles and uncles and dispose of the servants in the other room She did this, which family's rules are it?" ”

Wen Yi had no choice but to comfort Mama Shu: "Mama and relieved, before we came, we had already sent someone to the Shilang Mansion to report the news, this matter is unreasonable for the third aunt, and Steward Shu will come back soon." ”

Mama Shu choked up and said: "We were originally born to the Liu family, and the second lady is the wife of the patriarch, and we didn't have a word to deal with us." It's just that the uncle is not at home, and the second lady has not asked him, so she has to take away the family's belongings, which is not in accordance with the rules, that is, the second master has spoken, and he has not asked the uncle's reason. Our head of the family originally wanted to reason with the second lady, and the second lady was annoyed for a while, so she would get angry and tie up people, but it was really not our intention to offend. We naturally know our identity, but now that the uncle has become independent, we are all uncle's people, and we should take it as our responsibility to protect the lord. ”

Old Madam Lu raised her eyebrows and said four words lightly: "I see." He began to look at her carefully.

Wen Yi faintly sensed in his heart that this Mama Shu had something to say, she was a good person, but she was also happy for Liu Dongxing, with such an old mama in charge at home, he could worry less.

The scene was a little silent for a while, and Wen Liang interjected and asked, "This grandmother, according to what you say, didn't the third aunt take the things away?" What are they? ”

Mama Shu hurriedly said: "It was some antiques and treasures that the old lady collected when he was there, and left a message in front of the old man in the clan to leave it to the eldest master's family, but then the eldest master was gone, and the second master took the things away, only saying that the uncle was still young, and he collected it for the uncle, and when the uncle grew up, he returned it." For so many years, I didn't hear any movement, until the end of last year, the uncle suddenly said that he wanted to move out of the official independent portal, and the second master divided two Zhuangzi over, which was officially separated, and then returned a few pieces of those things, and there were a few pieces missing, and the second master said that they were all collected in his hometown, and he had no time to find it for the time being, and when he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he would find it out and send it to the uncle. The uncle's usual treasures were sealed in the library, and the keys were also collected by himself, until he was going to enter the camp for training, and he was afraid of accidentally losing them outside, so he left the keys at home. "I don't know how the second lady knew this, otherwise, the steward she sent wouldn't have asked the little one for it as soon as she came." ”

Wen Liang frowned when he heard this, and his expression was quite disdainful. Heng'an Liu's clan is obviously also a big family, how can the head of a clan be so ungraceful, even a few antiques from his nephew are greedy, but his deceased father clearly said that he would leave it to another room, and there is the clan elder as evidence, even if he occupies it, where can he hide it? If the head of a clan loses his impartiality and decency, even if he sits in that position, he will not be able to convince people.

Thinking that Liu Gu was still the daughter of the Gu family, he was in a bad mood, and secretly made up his mind that when he went home to meet his parents, he must persuade his parents to strictly raise the daughter of the clan in order to achieve any honor, what official position, and what decency are secondary, whether it is before or after marriage, the daughter's family should be based on character

Wen Yi was secretly surprised, Uncle Liu had repeatedly suppressed Dongxing before, and he was willing to nod and let him split up and set up a separate family, which was not easy, why did he generously give the two Zhuangzi to Dongxing and return those antiques? Could it be that there is anything else she doesn't know?

The Lu clan was also pondering, and at this time, the people from the Shilang Mansion arrived. Zhong Maolin took the lead, followed by a middle-aged man, Wen Liang recognized him as the housekeeper of the outer courtyard of the Shilang Mansion, so he went to say hello, and said, "The person was taken away by the third aunt, and I was about to go to the Shangshu Mansion." The third aunt really did something wrong, and if it spread, not only Uncle Liu will be blamed, but our Gu family will also make people laugh. Several younger sisters haven't been out of the cabinet yet, so don't be affected by this. ”

The housekeeper of the Shilang Mansion was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Tai also called the little one to come over and persuade Mrs. Gu, but I didn't catch up, and the little one was about to go back to the house to report the news, but I didn't know that the second young master was also here." ”

Wen Liang said, "You can go with me, so that the third aunt can know what the uncle and grandmother mean." ”

What else did the housekeeper have to say, but Mrs. Lu spoke: "Let's go, I know that your aunt is now Mrs. Shangshu, although I am her elder, she may not take me seriously." You also go and see if she is really so noble that she can't even listen to her mother's words" She smiled coldly, "If that's the case, our Gu family is not so blessed, and we have such a promising daughter"
