In Baiquan City, after Master Lu's family moved into the new house, the Lu family occupied this street.

Lu Er and Lu San still live in the old mansion.

Although it is still close to each other, it is still more inconvenient than before, and it is a long way to go.

"If you want to build this road, at least you can get a car." Mrs. Lu San complained to the mother-in-law beside her, "It's so tiring to walk to my sister-in-law." ”

Morning and dusk, walking back and forth four times, these days her waist will be broken.

Mentioning her waist, Mrs. Lu San frowned even more.

"Isn't that dress a good one? Why can't I find one that can be repaired? ”

The mother-in-law said: "Many people have tried to see it, but no one dares to put a needle, no matter how it is embroidered, you can see the difference at a glance." ”

The other mother-in-law couldn't help but mutter: "I don't know how Miss Ah Qi did it, no one else can learn it..."

At the mention of the name Ah Qi, she hurriedly stopped, Mrs. Lu San glared at her, and wanted to say something, there was a little mess in front of the second door of the old mansion, and the two mothers-in-law hurried out with a small servant.

There was also the voice of Second Lady Lu behind him.

“…… Don't care who is doing the ghost, take Brother Twenty-Four out first..... how can he suffer that! ”

Twenty-four brothers? Mrs. Lu San looked at her intently.

"It's from Xu Chengning's family." The mother-in-law hurriedly made up for her mistakes and pointed out, "The little guy next to Ning Shishilang used to come to our house with a big bag and a small bag on his back. ”

Lu Ning's family likes to supplement her mother's family the most, and Mrs. Lu San naturally knew it, so she glared at the mother-in-law, but she didn't scold, only frowned slightly and looked at the little guy who was rushing away.

This time, the little guy had an empty hand.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Lu also came out, her face was annoyed and worried, and she wanted to chase after the little guy to say something, but when she saw Mrs. Lu San, the words stopped.

"My brother and sister are back." She said, "Sister-in-law has eaten, right?" ”

Mrs. Lu San stepped forward to respond, glanced at her, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”

Although I don't want to say it, but the brothers are not separated, they live together, what secrets can there be, Second Mrs. Lu turned her frown into a raised eyebrow, and her tone was angry: "It's not my second brother, when he offends someone, he is conscientious and hard-working, not to mention, he is tired to the twenty-fourth brother, no, he was found to be planted and put in prison." ”

Mrs. Lu San sighed.

Of course, she didn't believe what Second Mrs. Lu said, although Second Master Ning was just a clerk, but he was an errand boy, not a hardship, it could be said that he was a Tuchenghuang calling for wind and rain.

Anyone dared to oppose him? That's really a big deal, no wonder the second lady who has always been in front of the saddle and behind the horse can't care about the morning and dusk.

"How can that work, how old is Brother Twenty-Four, where did he receive this?" Mrs. Lu San hurriedly followed the words.

"Isn't it, Brother Twenty-Four is honest, and he was locked up at home by my sisters-in-law, what have you seen?" Second Mrs. Lu nodded, and then spat out again, changing to a relaxed tone, "But it's nothing, the prefect is new, there are a few black-hearted thieves who tried to deceive him and frame my second brother, although the prefect is new, but he is not a fool, and the second brother will be fine if he explains it to him clearly." ”

Speaking of which, we change the subject.

"Don't mention Xu Cheng, the chrysanthemum banquet held by the prefect of Yucheng is a lively thing, in the past, we could only go to the sister-in-law at home, this year's blessing of the third brother, we are also half of the official eunuchs, we can also go, I have prepared all the chrysanthemums, have you picked out your dress? Is it too late to do something new? ”

No one wants to mention unhappy things, and Mrs. Lu San didn't embarrass Lu Second Lady anymore and said that the two of them talked and laughed, and they went inward like nothing.

Mrs. Lu San actually felt that this was not a big deal, the three generations of officials of the Ning family, they had never seen any wind and rain, how could the snake and the tiger on the ground be easily brought down.

It's not that no one has thought about it before, but as a result, the Ning family is safe and stable, but two officials have lost their wealth and slipped away.

Mrs. Lu San could already think that when the chrysanthemum banquet came, the second lady could still laugh and show off about this matter, but she didn't expect to come to Mrs. Lu the next day, and before she entered the door, she heard the second lady crying.

Crying heartbreakingly.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Lu San was taken aback.

The mother-in-law outside the door trembled, obviously frightened, and said, "The Ning family has been raided, and the whole family has been imprisoned. ”

Mrs. Lu San's face turned white in an instant, and the sky was also, this was really unexpected.

How so?

“…… At first, it was just that Twenty-Four Lang did something indecent, and some bitter masters came to sue, and the second brother said that no matter whether it was true or not, we all admitted it, lost money, and promised to discipline ......"

“…… Then the affairs of other people in the family were also turned out, nothing more than some people who had mixed their mouths and acted with each other, or how many people died in debt collection, sister-in-law, in all fairness, what is this? Looking at the city, who has a little bit of money doesn't do that? ”

"It's ....., the second brother is honest and doesn't want to embarrass the Zhou Governor's Mansion, so he admits it, and he doesn't cover it up, he should ask for the guilt, and he should lose money and lose money, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the second brother was also arrested, saying that he embezzled money and grain, made accounts in deficit, and should be .....killed when talking about the law."

Speaking of this, Second Mrs. Lu couldn't speak anymore, she couldn't breathe from crying, and fell to the ground.

"Hold on." Mrs. Lu said, "Feed some water." ”

The mothers-in-law standing on the side rushed up, supporting, fanning the wind, feeding water, and the second lady Lu fell crookedly in the arms of the mother-in-law, her face was pale, she was weak, and her tears were like rain.

"Is it really that bad?" Mrs. Lu asked.

This is not talking to Second Mrs. Lu, but asking Master Lu who heard the news.

Master Lu shook his head at Mrs. Lu with a gloomy face and did not speak.

There is no help.

Mrs. Lu understood, and was shocked, scared and incredulous: "How dare the prefect of Zhou?" There are so many people in the government, just let him do this? No one to persuade you? ”

"Don't be persuasive." Second Mrs. Lu cried, "Those black-hearted thieves, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, not only did they not help, but they also added fuel to the fire and harmed my family, they don't want to think about it, today is my family, and tomorrow will be them, if you do such a thing, you are not afraid of being struck by lightning." ”

Second Mrs. Lu cried again, pushed away the mother-in-law, and knelt in front of Master Lu.

"Big brother, quickly find a way to save your life, my second brother can't do it, Twenty-four Lang can't be gone, our Ning family will be dead."

"God, this is all because we are not officials, if my second brother is an official, how can I be abused like this, how can I say that I will be beaten and killed."

"Big brother, the third brother is already an official, and he is in the capital again, let him come forward and say something....."

Mrs. Lu, who was originally turning Buddha beads with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes.

"Why don't you help the second lady up!" She shouted.

The mother-in-law hurriedly rushed to pull the second lady Lu away again, and the clever mother-in-law called the doctor, and a group of people carried the second lady down in a chaotic manner.

The room was quiet again, and Mrs. Lu wanted to breathe, but she couldn't do it when her heart pressed against a stone.

"Why so suddenly?" She said, "This Ning family has such a big deal for no reason? ”

Master Lu said: "Suddenly it is not sudden, the new emperor wants to rectify the rule of officials, in addition to personally inspecting a group of officials, he also has to personally select scholars, so there is Taixue to open the examination." ”

also had the opportunity for their third brother.

"This new prefect of Xu Cheng was personally noticed by the emperor, and in order to set an example and make merits in front of His Majesty, the Ning family was used by him to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys."

That being said, it was still too sudden.

"Why is it the Ning family?"

Mrs. Lu felt that Mrs. Lu's words were right, because the Ning family was an official, not an official, how about the three generations of officials? In the government, he is a miscellaneous servant, and he can't be punished by a doctor, so the miscellaneous servant is naturally rubbed casually.

Fortunately, their Lu family is different.

The third brother studied seriously, and walked in front of the Son of Heaven seriously, like a golden light protecting the body.

"Then the Ning family's matter won't affect us, right?" Mrs. Lu asked in a low voice.

Master Lu sneered: "What's the trouble for us, the Ning family is a foreign daughter, besides, his hand of the prefect of Xucheng wants to reach out to Yucheng to eat?" The prefect of Yucheng can bite him first. ”

Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

"But the Ning family can't come out to meet people like this, let her rest more." Master Lu said, "I'll go to the mansion to inquire again." ”

Mrs. Lu hurriedly said: "Go quickly, the third brother's exam is coming, be careful in everything, and inquire more." ”

Master Lu quickly went out, and Mrs. Lu sat indoors and exhaled softly.

That's the end of the Ning family? It's incredible.

Originally, I wanted them to learn from the little, but I didn't expect that the mud bodhisattva would be difficult to protect himself when he crossed the river.

By the way, how is the little maid?
