Chapter 64: Zhang Xuehai
"In addition, there is also about the net worth background of Ying'er and Yan'er, and I also asked people to investigate."
As she spoke, Mrs. Wu took out another stack of letter paper and handed it to Ye Hao.
Since she knew that these two maids were related to framing her fornication, she often separated the two of them, intentionally or unintentionally, in the eyes of others, these two originally favored personal maids were not loved by Mrs.
Although the Wu Mansion is not a big family, there are some subordinates, and naturally some people are willing to take this position.
If a person who sells himself into slavery wants to live a better life, he must be favored by his master's family.
After taking the two stacks of letters, Ye Hao flipped through them on the spot, and she first looked at the stack about Song Wan.
Although there are many letters, the information in them is not very detailed, and most of them are some daily trivialities.
Even if that mother was invited by the Song family, Song Wan couldn't be lazy because of her feelings, but she never got her intimate attention.
Therefore, she can only record some of the other party's behaviors on the surface, such as traveling and dealing with the county order.
According to the letterhead, Ye Hao learned that this county order was not a foolish official except for wanting to be promoted.
In addition to Song Wan's wife, there are also two concubines who have been with him for a long time, and these two concubines are from other places with him, so they are quite favored.
But Song Wan's means are also not low, and she still makes the county order love her constantly, at least she can still take charge of the affairs of the inner house.
In addition, Song Wan's travel, except for occasionally going to Jinquan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, usually stay at home.
Song Wan has been married to the county magistrate for three or four years, and has a son, who is only two years old.
That's all the information from the old mother.
Ye Hao frowned, except for the matter of Jinquan Temple, he really couldn't find any other clues.
She froze, and pulled out another stack of letters.
Ying'er and Yan'er's backgrounds are much more predictable, both of them came from the same village, and they were sold to the Song family as slaves at the same time.
It's no wonder that the relationship between the two is so good, it turns out that they are fellow villagers.
When they were sold into the Song family, the two were still young, so they did some light work. When she was about ten years old, she was arranged to Song Wan's side and began to serve her.
Although Song Wan is the daughter of the Song family, she is no longer welcomed, and there is still no shortage of things that should be there.
Some time before the two followed Song Wan, they naturally suffered the same hardship, until Mrs. Wu got married, and Song Wan sent the two over.
It was clearly written on the letter that although the two were sold by their families, they often went back to see and give some silver.
Especially Ying'er, her father is gone, and her mother is pulling her two younger brothers alone, and life is difficult.
And Yan'er's life is relatively miserable, her parents are gone, and she has no brothers and sisters, and it was her own uncle who sold her at the beginning.
Yan'er and her family are not harmonious, after all, she is different from Ying'er, Ying'er is a mother, and she has no choice but to sell her to survive.
But Uncle Yan'er's house doesn't say that she has a full meal, at least not to the point where she can't open the pot, she was sold purely because her aunt was greedy for money.
Therefore, Yan'er just went back to see her grandmother, and the others had no family affection.
Ye Hao's eyelids raised slightly when she learned this information, she has seen such a scene in many TV series.
In ancient times, it was too common for people to sell their children and daughters, and they couldn't eat, and they couldn't help it.
Thinking that he seemed to have only seen Ying'er in Jinquan Temple, and had never seen any trace of Yan'er, Ye Hao had a bold guess in his mind.
"Mrs. Wu, can the deed between Ying'er and Yan'er be in your hands?"
Turning her head to look at Mrs. Wu, she asked out loud.
Although he is a modern person in his bones, Ye Hao also knows that selling to others as a slave also has a deed of sale.
In such an era, those who sold themselves into slavery were similar to ordinary livestock, as long as the deed of sale was in the hands of others, even if it was killed
will not violate the king's law.
But generally people who want to be famous will not easily kill their servants.
This sentence stunned Mrs. Wu, and it took a while to come back to her senses and shake her head.
"This ...... When Song Wan sent the two of them over, she didn't mention it, and I didn't take it to heart, there were people from the Song family on the left and right, so I didn't ask for it."
"No wonder........ Listen to me, you have taken the time to go to the Song family these days, saying that you are not young when you see Ying'er Yan'er, and you have done your best to follow you all these years, and you want to tell them a good family and let them give you a deed of sale."
According to some memories of the original owner, Ye Hao knew that generally speaking, the deed of sale of the servants in the family was in the hands of the master's mother.
Originally, when she was in the Song family, it should have been in the hands of Song Wan's mother-in-law, but after the former got married, the deed of sale of the people who followed her had to be handed over to her.
The ancient custom is that the daughter who marries out is another family, and the maid who marries is her private property.
But Ying'er and Yan'er were given to Mrs. Wu by Song Wan before she got married, and Ye Hao couldn't figure out who this deed of sale was, if it was in the Song family, it would be okay, Mrs. Wu would be able to get it if she opened her mouth like this.
But if it is in Song Wan's hands, it will be a little difficult.
"What are you?"
Hearing what Ye Hao asked her to do, Mrs. Wu was even more confused, and she didn't know why she suddenly mentioned the deed of sale.
Ye Hao lowered her head and explained in her ear:
"If you hold the deed of sale in your hand, then these two maids will no longer be able to help her kill herself, even if they are biased against Song Wan in their hearts."
The deed of sale is the life of a slave, as long as it is in the hands of Mrs. Wu, will Ying'er and Yan'er dare to frame her?
Before they dared to follow Song Wan's words, didn't they rely on their lives to be saved by the other party, so they were so unscrupulous?
Mrs. Wu was not stupid and quickly understood this.
Seeing her sudden realization, Ye Hao added:
"If the deed of sale is not in the Song family, in Song Wan's hands, you don't have to go to her in person, just let the Song family tell you. I don't believe it, she dares to hide it and not take it."
If the deed of sale is really in Song Wan's hands, then she wants these two maids to do things for her, so she is naturally unwilling to let go.
But Ye Hao's most ingenious point is to involve the Song family, and the fact that these two maids were sent over is something that the entire Song family knows, and it is natural for her to use this reason to sell her deed.
As long as Song Wan didn't plan to tear her face, she had to obediently present the deed of sale.
Now that the two maids are powerless, and the handkerchiefs have also been destroyed by Mrs. Wu, it is not a good time for her to tear her face.
Ye Hao bet, but the other party didn't dare to expose it!
After understanding what she meant, Mrs. Wu looked happy and nodded in agreement.
I've been worried and depressed for so long, and I finally have a chance to fight back!
However, this is not enough, it is only to temporarily suppress the opponent's movements.
"Also, you'd better send someone you can trust to inquire about the current situation of these two maids' families. We can start from this place, as long as Ying'er Yan'er turns against the water, we don't have to be afraid of Song Wan anymore."
From the previous meeting between Song Wan and Ying'er in person, it is estimated that there is nothing else to do, as long as the two maids are brought together, this matter can be solved.
For Ye Hao's words, Mrs. Wu hurriedly agreed, and now she relies on the other party wholeheartedly.
After discussing this matter properly, Ye Hao came out of the Wu Mansion, and Lin Binke was still waiting for her outside.
After getting into the car, the two did not rush to see the shop, but went straight to the north.
With Carpenter Zheng, Ye Hao is not in a hurry about renting a shop, and now she hasn't even found a partner.
Although there is Carpenter Zuo, she still can't let go, and she still wants to wait for a period of contact before talking.
The carriage drove for some time on the road that was not wide, and then stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Ye Hao jumped down from the carriage, turned around and walked up the mountain, and returned it by the way
Turning around:
"Let's go together, Jinquan Temple is not bad, you can also set up a tablet for your family to worship."
She remembered that Lin Bin's family also died tragically at the hands of the emperor, and she was afraid that no one would collect the body.
Although Ye Hao doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, she also knows that after experiencing such grief, it is good to have a sustenance.
Hearing this, Lin Bin's eyes darkened slightly, and he followed her silently.
The two walked up the mountain one after the other, the scenery around them changed, and they soon reached halfway up the mountain.
Ye Hao was just about to enter the door, when a rather familiar figure walked out of it, followed by another acquaintance.
"This is Mrs. Xie, right?"
Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to come forward to say hello.
"I've seen adults."
Ye Hao saluted the other party, with a polite smile on her face.
She remembered that the man in civilian clothes in front of her had been seen in the backstage of the county office.
Listening to the words of the prefectural order at that time, it seems to be the head of the household department? It's not a small official in the local area.
Not only did she remember the other party, but Zhang Xuehai on the other side remembered her even more, with a little jealousy and hypocrisy under the smile on her face.
"Mrs. Xie is here to pray today? The last time I saw you in a hurry, the official hasn't thanked you yet, and it is because of your idea that my black gauze hat can be kept!"
Speaking politely, Zhang Xuehai showed gratitude on his face, but his heart was full of suspicion.
The woman in front of her was not only beautiful, but also had a lot of clever ideas, the exiled person who gave the method of making sugar, he later remembered that it was the other party!
It is really shocking to know how to make sugar and to be able to treat insect plagues.
Therefore, Zhang Xuehai will put away his official shelf and deal with the other party.
"Your Excellency is polite, they are all county orders and your adults are well governed, how can I afford such a credit from a small woman's family."
also replied with a smile on her face, although Ye Hao didn't know what the other party was thinking, she was not a good person by looking at her face.
If you really want to be grateful to yourself, why wait until you meet by chance to say such high-sounding words?
After a few words of greeting, Zhang Xuehai left, and Ye Hao and the others also entered the temple.
She didn't pay attention to a small episode that happened suddenly.
Walking into the main hall, Ye Hao saw two figures worshipping with sharp eyes, and after confirming the identity of the other party, she took Lin Bin to a nearby place to pray for the same blessing.
Today's Jinquan Temple is similar to when she arrived a few days ago, it is still extremely cold, and there are few people in sight.
After the two figures finished worshipping, they glanced at Ye Hao and the others from a distance, and then got up and walked out of the main hall.
"Madam, Master Zhang just went out, I'm afraid I bumped into these two people."
The maid in the emerald green dress said in Song Wan's ear, with some worry in her eyes.
However, Song Wan waved her hand indifferently, her face full of contempt.
She had noticed it at a glance before, but it was just two countrymen in coarse linen clothes, and they couldn't recognize the identities of themselves and Zhang Xuehai.
"It's just two mud legs, don't care. Let's go back today, that girl probably won't come."
With that, the two also went out to leave.
At this time, the figures of Ye Hao and the others emerged from the door, obviously overhearing Fang Cai's conversation.
