On the eve of the New Year, the northern border was in an emergency again, the Warat people lost a lot of cattle and sheep due to heavy snowfall, and there was an urgent shortage of food.

The Zhenbei army was thrown into the tense war, and the return of the Marquis of Zhenbei to Beijing was naturally postponed indefinitely, but at this time, the riot of the victims who had temporarily calmed down because of the approaching New Year broke out again, and it was more serious than every time, and even the capital of the center of power did not avoid this disaster.

Before the New Year's Festival, because of the outbreak of several small-scale riots, every household was closed, lest their own family become the next unlucky, and the things they simply purchased were also largely busy, so they waited for the peaceful and stable end of this calamitous New Year's Festival, looking forward to the coming year's wind and rain will no longer be the same as this year.

The only person in charge of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion this year is Cui's family, Nangong Fan did not come back directly in the palace, Cui's first time as the master of the house is naturally to make a big splash, the entire Zhenbei Hou Mansion was cleaned up with a new look, the lanterns are particularly festive, and the people also got an extra month's monthly money, each person cut a pair of clothes, and they were even more smiling, and they praised Aunt Cui's generosity and kindness, and they also preached the benevolence of the main family outside, and they were good to their subordinates, rich and powerful.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, a group of people hosted by the Cui family worshiped the ancestral hall, and they also had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, of course, no one pressed on her head this year, she naturally wanted to show her status, and sat on the main seat without concessions. The maids kept sending exquisite dishes, and the daughters around them wore a waist-length jacket sprinkled with gold thread peonies on the upper body, and a water-green skirt underneath. The dots are full of white lilacs, and the ears are full of pearl ears, which makes the whole person look like a hibiscus out of the water.

I've been waiting for a while. Those people still didn't appear, and Cui's face began to look bad. The first time she presided over such a major event, those people dared to throw their faces and not save face for her, okay, since she didn't give her face, she didn't need to leave any face for those ignorant people, and immediately slapped the table: "If you don't come, forget it, it's better for our mother, clean!" Come. Go and tell me, if you don't want to come, then lock all the doors for me, and tell them to think about it behind closed doors in their own rooms! ”

Now Cui's is covering the sky with one hand at home, and someone will do it immediately after she says a word, and the remaining concubines and aunts are locked in their own houses, only a few maids from Zhenbei Hou and those concubines from Nangong Fan rushed to cheer, and Cui's didn't care, and asked the women of Zhenbei Hou to wait on the side. It's just a maid in the room, and it's not a serious master, but a few women who called her son sat down, and most of them were the maids who came out of her side. can be regarded as understanding her, and your flattery and praise me can be regarded as a pleasure.

Cui's still felt that there was a fly in the ointment, just a group of women were there, not even a man, and sighed: "Hou Ye can't come back from Liaodong, Fan'er, this child, is not at home during the New Year, what is it like to be busy." That's the same for the Lu family, how can there be a man who doesn't mess with flowers and grass, isn't it just a woman in a green building, it's worth a wife for her to knock on the door, it's not shameful enough! This is good, she went to the door by herself and was calculated by others, and her life was taken up, and she had to think of a reason for Fan'er to think for her, and when she died, she earned a life from the emperor, and she was also blessed. ”

These people didn't know what Nangong Fan was doing, they only knew that he was outside with a woman who was planning to find out some news, but the Lu family rushed up and smashed it and startled the snake, the woman found that Nangong Fan was just using herself, and she killed the Lu family when she was angry, and she also ran to beat the earth-shattering drum with a wicked person first, framing Nangong Fan for plotting to kill the prince Yunyun, and he was killed by a headlong collision, even if Nangong Fan was already fine when he learned this, he still scared a group of women.

Fortunately, the emperor was wise and was not fooled by some ill-intentioned villains, Nangong Fan did not have any accidents, but was valued by the emperor, and accompanied him in the palace every day.

"Those villains don't want to think about it, the eldest prince is our Fan'er's cousin, how could he harm his cousin?" Cui Shi sighed, his sister is also bitter enough, and there is no hope for so many years.

Someone outside was setting off firecrackers, and Cui Shi looked at the women on the table and became more and more tired: "Let's not be too late, tell the people to set off firecrackers and cook dumplings, and go to bed early." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the chief manager appointed by the Cui family ran in with a rolling belt, and fell under the table without stopping, and subconsciously grabbed the long tablecloth spread on the table, and suddenly there was a loud noise, and all the cups, plates and dishes on the table fell down and fell into a mess.

"What is this for?" Cui Shi was angry and wanted to drag this idiot out and kill him: "What are you doing during the New Year?" ”

The chief steward crawled out of it and trembled: "Oh no, no, it's not good, there's a rebellion outside!" A lot of people are looting, and the minions see that many people have broken in! ”

Cui's face turned pale suddenly, she had also heard of the disaster riot a few days ago, and she didn't take it to heart, because she felt too far away from herself, and they didn't dare to come to storm the Zhenbei Hou Mansion by borrowing a few of their guts, but tonight on Chinese New Year's Eve, many of the family guards on weekdays have gone back to celebrate the New Year, and the rest are probably not lightly drunk, and the Cui family's manpower has also returned to Cui's house, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion is now extremely empty, and it is easy to call people to rush in.

"Go and close the door! Tell everyone to get ready, and if anyone breaks in, I'll be beaten to death!" Cui Shi settled down, thinking that there were a lot of subordinates in his family alone, so he stabilized: "Ask someone to go to the palace to deliver a letter to the uncle, and ask the uncle to bring someone to rescue him quickly!" ”

A group of people began to get busy in a panic, some people went to close the door and latch as they said, but more people quietly slipped back to their houses to pack up the gold and silver treasures, and secretly slipped through the back door corner door. Moreover, it is only a master and a servant. If you want to blame Aunt Cui for her own bad feelings, she wants to send away the guards left behind by the Hou Ye and the Shizi Ye, but it is convenient for her to take power. In this case, there was no resistance, and it was true that they took Cui's bounty, but they also served their masters well. Be worthy of your conscience, and have no psychological burden at all when you run away.

Soon. The frightened screams of the ladies came, and Cui grabbed his daughter's hand, his face turned pale: "What's the matter?" Didn't you tell someone to close the door? ”

"Master, let's go! Big things are wrong! Someone ran back in a panic, saw Cui Shi still standing there, and paused: "There are people in the mansion who are in line with the thieves outside, and they have brought people in!" After saying that, he didn't hesitate, and he ran for his life in a hurry.

Choi stumbled under his feet. Her face was completely bloodless, and Nangong Min beside her hurriedly supported her: "What is my aunt still thinking?" Hurry up and escape, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, as long as we save our lives, my brother will come to the rescue soon after getting the news, let's avoid the limelight first! ”

The women around Cui Shi looked at each other, turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Cui Shi gritted his teeth: "You're right, let's go, let's leave quickly!" ”

The mother and daughter hurriedly ran to the back, and Cui's was still thinking about the things in his house. asked her daughter to go first, rushed into the house and put her silver ticket title deeds into her arms, and packed up the hairpin ring jewelry, and as soon as she went out, she happened to bump into several tall, dark-skinned men.

These people were dressed in tattered clothes. With a vegetable on his face, he was malnourished at first glance, and he was a refugee if he was a refugee, Cui Shi screamed in horror, turned around and wanted to close the door when he turned into the house, but he was kicked on the door by the first one, and he suddenly fell to the ground unsteadily, and the small package in his arms fell out, and there was a clanging sound, and gold, silver and jade fell all over the ground.

A few people who entered the door suddenly straightened their eyes, and those brilliant jewelry made them almost unable to turn their eyes, and a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks next to him smiled: "Several big brothers, this is the head of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion now, and the big guy who gave such a generous reward to his subordinates to buy New Year's goods a few days ago has seen it, and he is rich." ”

It turned out that he was too flamboyant to attract the attention of the thief a few days ago, and Cui regretted it, where can he take care of money at this time, as long as he saves his life, it is good: "You take all the things, don't hurt me!" ”

Those people didn't wait for her to speak, they had already stepped forward to sweep away the jewelry on the ground and the valuable things in the house, and even the gold and silver inlaid on the tables and chairs were also taken down, and the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks looked at the still charming Cui Shi obscenely: "I won't say much, I don't believe that you have such a little property, and those who know each other should quickly take it out!" ”

Cui Shi hesitated for a moment, and a person next to him immediately waved the big knife in his hand and slashed at the table next to him: "Hurry up!" ”

Cui's was trembling, and he quickly took out the silver ticket he had put away, and as soon as he took it out, he was snatched away, and the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks squinted his eyes: "Big brother, this woman has seen us, do we want to ......" said and stretched out a hand to slash into the air.

Cui Shi was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground: "No, no, no, I won't say anything, I don't know anything, I swear to God, don't hurt me!" These are for you too! As he spoke, he took off all the things he was wearing on his head and on his wrists and ears, but because the movement was too big, something fell out of the hidden pocket in his sleeve, and the golden phoenix held a bright pearl in his mouth, dazzling under the light, but it was a pearl and phoenix that only the Hou Zheng of Zhenbei was qualified to wear.

This thing knows that it is valuable at a glance, where are those individuals willing to let it go, but Cui's is like a demon at this time, snatching it back and holding it in his arms: "This is what I want to get in my life, I am finally going to get that position, please leave this to me!" I'll give you everything else! ”

All she wants in her life is the location of the Hou Zhengshu in Zhenbei, but she has always been pressed to death by the Huang family, and now that her son is out, she controls the entire Hou Mansion, the whereabouts of the cheap woman in the Huang family are unknown, and she can get that honor right away, how can she fall short at this time!

"You're in hell and you're going to bargain!" A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man, and he slashed down with a knife and snatched things out: "Let's go quickly, it won't be long before the dog officers and soldiers will arrive!" ”

There was a big cut on Cui's neck, and blood was gushing out, but he was unwilling to close his eyes like this, let out a sigh with his mouth open, and stretched out his hand with all his might, as if he was extremely unwilling to grasp something, and finally fell weakly.
