The door card opened, and then two soldiers walked out with knives on their shoulders, and stood outside the door one by one.

Jiao Da sighed and led Jia Cong and Jia Huan in.

Jia Yun, Jia Qiang, and Xue Pan knelt there straight, motionless.

It was unusually quiet in Zhongwubo's mansion, and the two little servants tiptoed past the Yimen, and they didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere, only glanced at it secretly, and then hurried away.

In the distance, some mothers-in-law and maids gathered together to peep and quietly discussed.

A mother-in-law said in a low voice: "I heard that Xiaohong didn't enter the side hall in the morning, and she was beaten badly, and she couldn't get out of bed for more than half a month." ”

"Which little red?"

"Which one else, it's Aunt Lin's daughter."

"It's scary!"

A maid patted her chest and sighed: "I originally thought that the third master would be more relaxed when he was away, but I didn't think that Miss Lin's housekeeper would be stricter." ”

"Who doesn't say? In the past two days, the Zhao family and the Wu family, one was taken to the Liangxiang Manor, and the other was sold by the whole family. This means..... We're going to have a hard time in the future...."

The woman's face was sad.

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, there was an angry reprimand behind him, which startled several people, only to see Uncle Zhong coming over and snorting coldly, "Don't talk about the master in vain, otherwise you will be killed." ”

"Yes, I don't dare anymore."

Jia Zhong glared at them, "There are no rules at all!" Miss Lin is the future wife of our house, the master of the eight classics, let me hear who chews the tongue, hum, do you hear it! ”

"Yes!"

"Go ahead!"

These mothers-in-law and maids disappeared all at once.

Jia Zhong glanced at the three people who were kneeling on the ground, sighed softly, shook his head and walked out.

Zhongwu Hall, a screen was placed in the center of the side hall, which divided the side hall into the inner and outer rooms, Daiyu sat behind the screen, Zijuan and Mama Wang were waiting on the side, Jia Jue's grandmother Li Mama stood by the screen, and Jiao Da led Jia Cong and Jia Huan to stand at the door.

Since Jia Jue left Beijing, Daiyu has handled the affairs of the house in this way, especially the affairs outside.

There was silence.

Zijuan couldn't help it, glanced at Daiyu, who was slowly flipping through the account books, and turned around to pick up the letterhead on the ground.

Daiyu raised her head and asked, "Is that house in Dongcheng still there?" ”

Jiao Da was reminded and immediately replied: "It's still in the name of the Chamber of Commerce." ”

Daiyu pondered for a moment, took the letter and looked at it again, and then said to Jiao Da: "In this way, the master will go to the silver treasury to pay 10,000 taels of silver, and send it over with this house, just say that it is the uncle's order, and tell him that if he doesn't work, he wants to take money, and there is no such good thing in the world." ”

Jiao Da was relieved when he heard this, and quietly glanced at Daiyu sitting behind the screen, his heart was very happy, and he couldn't help but feel full of emotion.

Daiyu's voice came from behind the screen, "The grandfather is telling him that the 200,000 taels promised by the uncle will not be worse than him, but he must remember that if he doesn't work, there will be no silver!" What is the most important thing for people to live in the world? Good faith! ”

Jiao Da breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down and replied, "Yes." ”

At this moment, the voice of the soldiers came from outside the courtyard gate, "Commander Jia is here!" ”

Jia Fu strode over, handed a letter to Jiao Da, and said in a low voice: "The urgent letter sent by Zhao Ming, Jia Yucun entered the Ruishi camp and met Uncle Xiao Rong and Eunuch Li. ”

Jiao Da took the letter and tore it up, his heart was shocked but his expression was not shocked, he folded the letterhead and handed it to Jia Cong, "Go, give it to Miss Lin." ”

Jia Cong took the letter and trotted over to Daiyu, "Sister Lin, letter." ”

Daiyu took the letter, smiled slightly, and said to Mama Wang: "Mama, serve a snack." ”

He shouted to the outside again, "Huan'er come in too." ”

Jia Huan couldn't help it for a long time, ran in with a puff of smoke, respectfully saluted Daiyu, turned around and ran to the side to play with Jia Cong.

After reading the letter, Daiyu thought sharply for a moment, opened the box beside her, took out a blank letterhead stamped with Jia Jue's official seal, and wrote four words on the paper: Severely punished according to law!

Jiao Da took the letterhead and looked at it carefully, tsk, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really thought it was written by Jia Yu, he folded the note, handed it to Jia Fu, and then asked, "I don't know where Jia Yu Village is?" ”

Daiyu stood up at this time, looked at Jia Cong and Jia Huan, who were making trouble, and said meaningfully: "Let him make trouble, if he doesn't make trouble, I'm still worried." ”

When Jiao Da heard this, his heart moved, he thought about it, and asked again: "How many more people will the Chamber of Commerce send to keep an eye on?" ”

Daiyu nodded, pondered for a while, and then spoke, "The master of the Chamber of Commerce has a snack, and Jia Yun and Jia Qiang each play twenty boards, Xue Pan.... Hit forty boards and let him lie down honestly for a while. ”

"Yes."

Although Jiao Da understood that Daiyu was warning the people in the mansion, he still couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.

.............

Yeongkookfu, Ixiangwon.

Looking at Xue Pan lying on the bed, I saw that his face was pale and weak, and he glanced at the changed clothes at the foot of the bed, which were full of blood stains, Aunt Xue couldn't help crying, "My son! ”

At this time, Baochai, who was talking with Mrs. Wang outside, hurriedly walked in, looked at Xue Pan, who was pale, and thought of the strange eyes of everyone along the way, and couldn't help crying.

Mrs. Wang walked in, sighed, and said to Baochai: "Your mother is also old, and she hurts her body carefully. ”

Baochai nodded, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Aunt Xue up, and persuaded: "Mom, don't cry, take care of yourself." ”

At this time, Zhou Rui's family walked in and whispered: "Madam, I have inquired clearly, the Chamber of Commerce has a dispute in the newly built restaurant in Dongshi, and it was sued by others to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, saying that it was a forced purchase and a forced sale, and Uncle Xue signed it." ”

"High in the Sky"

"What, just because of this little thing?"

Mrs. Wang's face was full of surprise and curiosity: "Miss Lin is too ruthless, and she doesn't leave any family affection!" ”

When Aunt Xue heard this, she sighed unconsciously and made it to the chair, and tears rolled down her face.

Zhou Ruijia: "There is one more thing, Zheng Haoshi's family was also sent to Liangxiang Grange, which was also sent by Miss Lin." ”

Mrs. Wang was taken aback and said to Aunt Xue, "Tell me, what is this called?" This Zheng Haoshi is a subordinate of Rongguo Mansion, can she also reach out? beat her relatives and dealt with the old people in the house, there are still no rules in her eyes! ”

Aunt Xue's face was blue and white for a while, but her mouth had to deal with it, "Pan'er, this kid has caused trouble to the Chamber of Commerce..... should be punished, not unjustly ....."

Mrs. Wang's face gradually became solemn, and she gritted her teeth, "No, you can't follow her like this." ”

After that, he said to Aunt Xue: "Sister, don't worry, it's not her turn to call the shots in this family, I'll go find the old lady." Then he said to Baochai: "Take care of your mother." ”

Sending Mrs. Wang away, Aunt Xue returned to the living room, looked up with both eyes, and said, "We all looked away..... On weekdays, he looks soft and weak..... Who thinks, hey, it doesn't matter if your brother is a slanderer, it's just that he suffers you again! ”

Baochai was stunned, but it was difficult to answer, so she had to lower her head, and after a while, Fang raised her head and asked, "Auntie will really go to the old lady?" ”

Aunt Xue smiled, "She doesn't dare." ”

After leaving Lixiang Courtyard, when there were no outsiders around, Zhou Ruijia hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Madam, do you really want to go to the old lady's house?" ”

"Hmph, where are you going?"

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "When the crown prince ascends the throne, Yuan Chun will seal the concubine, and then settle the account." ”

Zhou Ruijia bowed his head and didn't dare to say anything, but in his heart he was slanderous, and he said it well, Yuan Chun was the imperial concubine, but he still had to rely on the power of the big house, and when he thought of Daiyu, he couldn't help but sigh that there was a ruthless person in the big house!
