Chapter 212: Clue (5K, with Pink 1710+)

Agarwood ran to the door of the east room where Zhou Huaixuan was with her skirt, and pleaded with a crying voice: "Big boy! Big Prince! Please save the slave and the maid's family! ”

Zhou Huaixuan didn't raise his eyelids inside, and looked at his military book with his eyes down.

When the mothers-in-law saw Agarwood running to beg Zhou Huaixuan, they didn't dare to drag her away, but said: "Agarwood, the chief steward has already spoken, don't make it difficult for us." The eldest prince is the master, so don't trouble him for this trivial matter. ”

Another mother-in-law also said, "...... The eldest prince has always been at home, and it's useless for you to ask. This was directly commanded by the Grand Steward. ”

Everyone in the Divine General's Mansion knows that there is only one person who is the chief steward who is not named, and that is the big steward of Zhou, who is the old steward next to the old man, the first of the four stewards.

Agarwood couldn't figure out what had happened to her family, and she cried at the door of the east room.

Forsythia looked at the side and sighed, came over to help her up, and said in a low voice: "Your family is too big." You're still here on an errand, why do you want to marry the Liu family? ”

"Huh? Is it because of this? Agarwood was shocked, "This ...... This...... Our family hasn't said yes yet! ”

"It's not a question of whether you say yes or no. With this in mind, how can Dafang still let you continue to work here on an errand? Forsythia persuaded in a low voice, "Hurry up and pack your things and go to Zhuangzi with your family." Find an honest and reliable man to marry, have a few more children, and have a man to hurt in this life, and have a son by his side to fulfill his filial piety, and it will be enough for a lifetime. ”

This is her life?

There doesn't seem to be any other choice......

Agarwood looked up in a daze, looked at the flower-sprinkled curtain of the east time, and wiped her tears with her hand. He knelt down again and kowtowed respectfully to the door of the eastern second room. "The eldest prince. The slave and maid are gone. Take care, eldest son. ”

She has been by Zhou Huaixuan's side for so many years, and she already knows Zhou Huaixuan's temper very well.

Once unfaithful, never again.

Their family has committed a taboo, no matter which room it is, they will no longer be willing to take them in, let alone take the risk of falling out with the big house to intercede for them.

Speaking of which, they are just subordinates, just listen to the words of the master. What to do left and right, the icing on the cake?

It's too much to think about......

Agarwood tearfully followed Forsythia back to the ear room where she lived to clean up the softness of the past few years, and said to Forsythia: "Sister Forsythia, you are a good one." Thanks to you for taking care of me all these years, I will leave you a memory of this. As he spoke, he took off the gold and silver bracelets hanging from the dragon and phoenix in his hand and stuffed them into Forsythia's hands.

Forsythia took it on, and also took off the jade jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Agarwood, which was regarded as returning her favor.

Agarwood with her little sister. followed those mothers-in-law to leave the Listening Rain Pavilion and went out of the second gate. I got into the car with my family and went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of the Shenjiang Mansion.

This time, they will have nothing to do with the glory and wealth of the Divine General's Mansion.

Agarwood looked at the Shenjiang Mansion that was gradually moving away from the carriage, and cried whining.

His father and mother now understood what was going on.

Agarwood's mother couldn't stop slapping herself, sobbing: "It's all my fault, thinking about the three rooms...... What a self-inflicted sin! ”

Agarwood's father took her mother's hand and said in a deep voice: "Okay, it's already like this, it's too late to regret it." Let's have a little bit of an eye in the future. This time it was Zhou Da who let us go, and he was the old man's man. It can be seen that the old man is still biased towards the big house. There was remorse in his voice.

The family left the capital in this way.

After they left, Mrs. Zhou learned that the housekeeper Zhao Ming's family had been driven out of the house and sent to Zhuangzi.

"Mother, what's going on? is so dignified, how did you send away all the powerful old people around your mother? "Grandma Wu San hurriedly came to say goodbye to Mrs. Zhou.

Old Madam Zhou didn't look angry at all, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." When they are old, it is time for them to go back to their old age. The steward of the outer courtyard said that he would send me a few new people in the afternoon, and you can help me pick them. I'm tired and need to take a break. So saying, he got up and went into the back room.

Grandma Wu San blinked, "Mother, then I'll go back." ”

As soon as she returned to the courtyard of the third room, she saw the whole Liu family crying and mourning, and said to Grandma Wu: "Third grandma, the steward of the outer courtyard said that my man's hands and feet were shoddy when he was buying, and he also found out a large deficit, and he wanted to arrest him and go to the official!" - Third grandmother, you must help us! ”

Grandma Wu San was surprised, "What's the matter?" Who caught your man? ”

"It was sent by the Steward Zhou of the outer courtyard to arrest him." Liu's whole family was angry, "We are the third grandmother's companion room, and they will arrest my man, but they don't take the third grandmother in their eyes!" Besides, we didn't use a penny from their gods' mansion, they were all monthly examples sent to us by the third grandmother! ”

Generally speaking, the dowry of the daughters-in-law of the big families is in charge of the daughters-in-law themselves.

This includes both the property of the dowry and the subordinates of the dowry.

Most of the fastidious families will even marry coffins and toilets, and the money that the daughter will use for a lifetime must also be brought over in the dowry, whether it is used or not, this means that from birth to death, it is the burden of the mother's family, so that the daughter can straighten up and be a person in the in-law's house.

Of course, he didn't really want his daughter-in-law to pay by herself, but said that he could afford the money.

Grandma Wu San is from the Wu family, the God of Wealth, and some of them are silver.

When I got married, I was a real ten miles of red makeup, and of course I wouldn't be greedy for the money of the general's house.

But these subordinates can't be saved.

Grandma Wu San glanced at Liu's family, "To be honest, is your man's hands and feet unclean?" If so, make up for it as soon as possible, and I can save you again. Otherwise, the gods will not be able to save you. ”

The family also has the rules of the family, which does not mean that if you don't eat other people's food and wear other people's clothes, you can do whatever you want.

Such a lawless subordinate, no matter which one of them, will not tolerate it.

Liu Quanjia's eyes flickered, and he said hesitantly: "Everyone is like this, and we are just following the example of others." ”

Is this really a trick in purchasing?

But even if you do it, according to Liu's family. Everybody does. It's not good if they don't do it.

So that shouldn't be a reason to kick them out. It's just a casual pretense.

Anyway, who of these stewards has clean hands and feet?

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives.

As long as it is not out of line, the master above will turn a blind eye.

Grandma Wu San lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "Zhao Ming's family was kicked out in the morning, you know, right?" ”

"Uh......" Liu Quanjia blinked, "...... do you mean?" ”

"Hmph, this is probably a warning to us about the third room." Grandma Wu San sneered, "It seems that the protection is quite tight......"

She didn't say who it was. Liu Quanjia lowered his head and didn't dare to ask more.

"Tell me, how much is the deficit. This time, I've made it up to you. Grandma Wu San picked up the teacup and blew hot air.

Liu Quan's family was busy: "It's not much, only two thousand taels of silver......

Burst!

Grandma Wu San squirted out a mouthful of tea.

"Two thousand taels of silver is not much?!" Grandma Wu San glared at Liu's family, "I'll go to the outer courtyard and ask." ”

As a result, she went to the outer courtyard to intercede, but the steward of Zhou refused to let go, only saying that according to the rules of the Divine General's Mansion, the deficit was more than 1,000 taels, and she was to be sent to the official. Or sent to Zhuangzi in the northwest to do hard labor. But Liu's family is the companion room of Wu San's grandmother, so the net is open. Just drive away the family.

Is this still an open side of the net?!

Grandma Wu San's face sank, but she didn't do anything with Steward Zhou, she had to nod, "Steward Wu is right, there are no rules, there is no circle." Since they have committed such a big thing, I can't protect them, so let Zhou Da take charge and drive them away. ”

"Well, you can make up the deficit and go." Steward Zhou did not let them go.

Grandma Wu San left without looking back.

When she returned to the inner courtyard, she ordered someone to send two thousand taels of silver to Steward Zhou to make up for Liu Quan's shortfall, and called Liu Quan's family again, and said apologetically: "I can't do it." The rules of the God's Mansion are big, and your man is too presumptuous. This time, even I don't have a face. ”

Liu's family thought they were still going to prison, and they immediately cried.

"Okay, why are you crying? Steward Zhou has promised not to send the official to investigate for my sake. I have just ordered someone to send two thousand taels of silver to Steward Zhou to make up for the shortfall. But you can't stay in this god's mansion. Grandma Wu San stroked the red gold silk Bilan Po who caressed her sideburns, and the water sapphire ring on her hand flashed in the sun, as blue and secluded as the sea.

When the Liu family heard that they didn't have to pay for the deficit, they rejoiced again, knelt down and kowtowed to Grandma Wu San, then packed up their things, and the family left the Shenjiang Mansion to make a living by themselves.

The subordinates who were kicked out were still slaves and maids, and belonged to the lowly status.

But with the care of Grandma Wu San, they can barely make ends meet.

It's just that Forsythia and Zhou Xianbai knew about it and smacked their tongues about the eldest prince's methods.

The hand of the three rooms has not yet reached in, and it was chopped off.

Knowing that it was not only Zhao Ming's family who were driven away, Zhou Xianbai and Forsythia were relieved......

"From now on, no one should dare to fight the idea of our big house again. The people in the big house don't dare to hook up with people in other rooms. Forsythia said with emotion.

"yes." Zhou Xianbai said with a smile, "It's better to let them know that it's better than waiting for something to happen and then remedy it." ”

Zhou Huaixuan listened to their gossip before he came out of the back room and said to Zhou Xianbai: "Prepare the horse." ”

Zhou Xianbai hurriedly answered, went out to lead the horse, and waited outside the gate.

Zhou Huaixuan went to the Shengguo Mansion with him.

Zhou Xianbai looked at the sky, it was almost evening. ――Son, did you do it on purpose, did you do it on purpose, did you do it on purpose?

When I came to the Shengguo Mansion, it was already the time to hold the lamp.

Sheng Siyan was taking Xiao Goji Berry and Sheng Qiye to have dinner together, and when he heard that Zhou Huaixuan was here, he was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "Dad, I'll go and see, I don't know if something happened." ”

Sheng Qiye was also stunned. He knew that Zhou Huaixuan had only left in the morning. Sheng Qiye is back now, so naturally there is no need for Zhou Huaixuan to come to Shengguo Mansion every day.

It's still here, so there must be something, right?

"Go, go, go!" Sheng Qiye waved his hand, "Remember to put on a big coat, it's cold outside." ”

Sheng Siyan responded and put on the silver fox coat. The barley is in front of the sheep's horn glass lantern. Hurriedly go up to the second gate.

Zhou Huaixuan had just crossed the second gate. I saw Sheng Siyan wearing a silver fox and coming around, with a very eager look on his face.

"What's going on?" As soon as Sheng Siyan saw Zhou Huaixuan, he asked anxiously.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Let's go inside. Zhou Huaixuan walked towards the verandah.

Seems like there's really something......

Sheng Siyan was secretly anxious, but seeing that Zhou Huaixuan was not moving like a mountain, she settled down and followed Zhou Huaixuan.

This is the direction to Wo Mei Xuan.

Sheng Siyan was having dinner with Sheng Qiye and Little Goji Berry in Yanyu Hall just now, and hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Zhou." Have you ever had dinner? My dad is over there in Yanyutang......"

Zhou Huaixuan's footsteps paused, turned around and stopped, followed her in a different direction, and walked towards Yanyutang.

When I came to Yanyutang, I was holding a bowl of small wolfberries and counting rice grains just now, and hurriedly ate them, showing a look of "I'm very good, I wasn't picky just now".

Zhou Huaixuan glanced at him lightly.

Little Goji immediately looked at Zhou Huaixuan and squeezed out a flattering smile, "Brother Zhou......" is exactly the same as Sheng Siyan's name.

Sheng Siyan was angry and funny, and just walked over. He nodded his finger on his chubby forehead and said, "Eat yours quickly." Be respectful to Brother Zhou. The way you salivate like this, it makes people want to clean you up......"

Zhou Huaixuan walked over unhappily and separated Sheng Siyan's wrists, not allowing her to touch Xiao Goji's forehead again.

Little wolfberry's eyes lit up, raised his head, and happily hugged Zhou Huaixuan's arm, and his voice became sweeter, "Brother Zhou, help me!" Big sister always bullies me! I thought that Zhou Huaixuan was protecting him, so he didn't let Sheng Siyan touch his forehead.

Sheng Siyan quietly pulled his wrist away from Zhou Huaixuan's hand, and said, "Okay, this time, for Brother Zhou's sake, I won't bully you." But you have to eat well. Otherwise......" She rolled her eyes, but she didn't think about how to clean up the little goji berries.

Zhou Huaixuan also took out his arm from Xiao Goji's hand and gently pressed his head down, "Eat." "Two simple words, without any affection.

The little wolfberry didn't dare to be coquettish anymore, and was busy lowering his head to pick up rice.

"Huaixuan, sit down. Have you had dinner? Sheng Qiye greeted him warmly, "Is there something wrong?" Still coming here so late? ”

Zhou Huaixuan nodded, "There is indeed something." I'll talk about it when you're done. ”

Seeing Zhou Huaixuan's stern appearance, Sheng Siyan and Sheng Qiye exchanged a look, sat down and hurriedly finished eating.

The next person came to clean up the table, Wang's eldest maid Juxiang came over to take the little wolfberry to freshen up, Sheng Siyan and Sheng Qiye and Zhou Huaixuan went to the guest room cleaned up by Yanyutang to talk.

In the past, the warm pavilion was the Wang family in confinement, and the newborn second child Xiao Dou and the nurse lived in it.

The guest room that was cleaned up against the north wall was a Huanghuali three-sided single-panel Luohan bed, and a small Huanghuali crested coffee table with a small pattern in the middle.

The Luohan bed was covered with a thick wolfskin mattress, and on each side of the coffee table was a row of four boxy red chain brocade pillows. There are brown and black Ruyi pattern long soft pillows at both ends.

Sheng Qiye sat on the Luohan bed and beckoned Zhou Huaixuan to sit on the other side of the coffee table.

Sheng Siyan sat on a large Huanghuali Taishi chair next to Luohan's bed.

After the maid served tea, she returned to the outside room to serve.

Only these three people sat and talked in the guest room.

Zhou Xianbai stood at the door of the guest room and did not allow the Sheng family's subordinates to approach.

When Sheng Qiye and Sheng Siyan saw this posture, their hearts that had just been put down were lifted again.

Zhou Huaixuan sat on the edge of Luohan's bed, put one hand on the coffee table, stroked his chin with the other, and said in a low voice: "I came today to ask how the rumors about her life story came out. As he spoke, he nodded to Sheng Siyan.

That's what happened......

Sheng Siyan glanced at Sheng Qiye and said with a smile: "This is not a rumor...... I was picked up by my mother outside. After a pause, he said: "And my father and mother treat me like my own life, just ignore those rumors." ”

Zhou Huaixuan glanced at her and looked straight at Sheng Qiye, "Do you know?" ”

Sheng Qiye moved a little uncomfortably and said, "Blame me for this." If I hadn't taken a concubine, I wouldn't have caused these things. As he spoke, he told the story of him and the Wang family studying prescriptions in seclusion in the Eagle Sorrow Stream, and was later taken away by the man in black, "...... Later, I asked someone to pick them up, but I didn't, thinking they were dead. I was very sad in my heart, and then I got drunk and said a few times......"

Sheng Siyan saw Zhou Huaixuan asking the bottom line, he didn't know what he meant, thought about it carefully, and said in a low voice: "It's not to blame Dad." Where did Dad know what was going on? And then we reunited with my father, who never knew about it. What Dad told the Tu clan was that we had lived in the village of Eagle Sorrow, and we didn't say anything else. ”

Sheng Siyan added with a wry smile: "...... Then someone went to the Eagle Chou Stream, found the stable woman who delivered the mother at the beginning, and knew that the mother's biological daughter was gone, so he thought that I might not be the mother's biological daughter, and brought the stable woman to the capital to testify against the mother. I saw that it was no longer interesting to cover up this matter, so I simply admitted that I was adopted by my father. ”

Sheng Qiye also added some later things.

It turned out that in the middle, Zheng Suxin and the illness of the first emperor Xia Ming were also involved.

In other words, Sheng Siyan's life experience was actually just an introduction, and the final result was that the first emperor Xia Ming died suddenly, and Sheng Qiye became the murderer of the king.

When Zhou Huaixuan heard this, his brows began to wrinkle, "If your father didn't tell the Tu family that you are dead, how can anyone suspect that you are not Mrs. Wang's biological daughter?" And you want to go to the Eagle Sorrow Stream to find out your life and death? Also, Grandma Zheng actually used this incident to threaten the Seventh Master, asking you to tell the truth about the first emperor's condition? It seems that no one has said anything about this matter in Dali Temple. ”

Zhou Huaixuan felt that there was a problem in the middle, as if a link had been missed, and the clues before and after could not be connected.
