The eyes of the people in the courtyard who looked at Li's mother and son were extremely frightened.

Miss Bao is certainly at fault, but Mrs. and the second master actually beat a child into a fool.

How much of a grudge is this?

Li himself was also shocked, and leaned on the handrail to ask the house doctor, "Are you really stupid?" Don't make a mistake! Where is it so squeamish! ”

Qi Chengxu stood up and walked inside, and within a few breaths, Qi Baoxin's scream came from inside.

Li's face turned white, and when Qi Chengxu came out, she walked forward quickly.

Asked softly: "Ah Xu, is she really ......?" ”

Qi Chengxu nodded.

Li staggered for a moment, held on to the table, and immediately ordered: "No one is allowed to go out and talk nonsense about today's affairs!" Doctor, hurry up and cure her! It's just a knock, and it will definitely be good to raise one! If you lack any medicinal herbs, go and collect the silver! Be sure to cure her! ”

beat up his granddaughter and daughter, if this matter spreads, the reputation of the Hou Mansion will be ruined!

At this time, Song's mother suddenly appeared.

"The eldest lady, the second master, the young lady. The old lady woke up and told you to go to the antechamber for a while. ”

Several people followed Song's mother to the front hall.

The old lady sat on a quiet pillow, her head wrapped around her forehead, and her face was pale.

"How will today's business end? This matter is about the order, about the Hou Mansion! It must be properly resolved! ”

The old lady coughed violently, and Mother Song ran to the back of the Buddhist hall, brought the incense burner, and placed it on the small table in the old lady's hand.

The incense burner rolled up Zen incense, and the old lady stopped coughing when she smelled it.

She looked at the incense burner, and then thought of Ji Shu, and the old lady looked at her and said, "Shu'er, you have the most brains, what should you do in your opinion?" ”

Ji Shu Shi Ran said:

"The most important thing is attitude. If you want the emperor to dissipate his anger, the Hou Mansion must first have someone to bear the primary responsibility for this matter, and before the emperor decrees and punishes him, he will first bear the guilt. ”

"What's the offense?"

"The emperor's decree is nothing more than a cane, and the Hou Mansion himself beats it first, and then asks people to be carried to the emperor to ask for guilt. It will definitely be better than waiting for the emperor's decree. ”

Qi Chengxu had a wooden face, the person Ji Shu said must be him, but he has grown so big that he has not been beaten by the board.

Li also felt sorry for his son, and immediately thought of a faint trick.

"Since it's behind closed doors, you don't have to be so sincere. Hit two boards shallowly, and then smear the blood into the palace, and ask the emperor to take a look......"

The old lady angrily grabbed the pillow in her hand and smashed it over.

"Idiot! Ahem, ahem! Is he blind when you are holy? Dare to fool in front of the emperor, do you want my Hou Mansion to die without a place to be buried?! ”

"I'm!"

Qi Chengxu gritted his teeth and looked at Ji Shu, "When will I go to ask for guilt?" ”

"Naturally, the sooner the better."

Ji Shu looked at Mother Song, "Hurry up and find someone to prepare." The carriage was also prepared, and I went to the ancestral hall to take the waist card left by the Hou Ye before leaving Beijing. ”

After Song's mother left, Li grabbed Qi Chengxu's arm, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Is this the end of this?"

This move can only make the emperor angry, and prevent the emperor from implicating the Quanhou Mansion in anger. But that's not the case. ”

Ji Shu said: "The loss of tribute, the Hou Mansion must also make up for it." ”

"That Persian sapphire is priceless, how can there be so much silver in the Hou Mansion!" Lee cried.

The old lady rolled her eyes and said to Ji Shu: "Shu'er, the old man remembers that when you married in, you brought a hundred dowries...... Now the Hou Mansion is in trouble......"

"The Hou Mansion is in trouble, and the granddaughter-in-law is naturally duty-bound."

"But ......"

Before the three old ladies could show their smiling faces, Ji Shu's words turned sharply.

"Grandmother didn't know that six years ago, when I took over the Hou Mansion, I was ordered to be in danger, and at that time, both the grange and the shop were unable to make ends meet, and I still owed a large deficit. The granddaughter-in-law's dowry was filled in six years ago, where is there any surplus......"

Ji Shu rolled the silk handkerchief with his fingertips and wiped the corners of his eyes.

The three of them stiffened their expressions.

Ji Shu looked at them and said, "If grandmother doesn't believe it, you can go to my room and search it." I didn't even dare to tell the maid about this, for fear that she would go back to Ji's house to sue. The dowry chest was filled with silver made of tin foil......"

The old lady was so angry that she almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and finally eased up.

patted his chest and said, "It's bitter, it's bitter for you...... Grandmother naturally believes in you. ”

"And the silver?" Ji Shu asked with red eyes.

The old lady turned around and dug through the cracks of the bed, took out a large stack of silver tickets, and handed them to Ji Shu.

"I've got some here. Lee, you can take some out there. And if that's not enough...... sold two shops on West Street and put it together. ”

Ji Shu pinched the silver ticket in his hand and sneered in his heart.

Yueyue asked her for money, and she made up a vault for herself, and she didn't feel distressed when she took out so many silver tickets.

This group of moths raised by her even wanted her dowry to be paid to the Hou Mansion.

Why is it so big?

Ji Shu lowered the gloom in his eyes, and said calmly: "Then I will go to my aunt immediately and ask her to find a buyer as soon as possible." ”

"Nope! You can do it! ”

The old lady's face was full of disgust, she didn't want to hear Jiang Fu's name at all now.

Ji Shu said: "When things happen suddenly, the important thing is to get together the money, and I am afraid that I will lose some money by selling the shop." ”

"It doesn't matter how much you lose, just get the money together."

"What about the deed?"

The old lady turned her back again, rummaged through, and gave the deed to Ji Shu.

"Okay, you all go out, and you have to be quiet for a while."

The old lady lay on the small table, smelled the Zen incense, and drove the three away.

Mother Song was waiting outside the door, and Chong Qi Chengxu made a gesture of invitation.

"Second master, it's all ready. Young lady, how much is appropriate? ”

"According to the emperor's temperament, at least fifty rods are required."

"What?! How does this work! Call the house doctor, anytime! ”

Li wiped his tears and commanded anxiously.

"No, if you go to the palace after taking the medicine and then go to the palace to ask for sin, how can you still reflect the repentance of the Hou Mansion."

Qi Chengxu stopped the Li family, and his heart was crossed, and he lay on the bench.

The two nurses held longboards in their hands and beat them hard.

"Ahh

Qi Chengxu gritted his teeth and pushed through the front boards, but the back really couldn't hold up, and there was a scream when he hit it.

The corners of Ji Shu's mouth raised slightly, "My daughter-in-law went to raise money first." ”

Li was almost fainting from crying, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to Ji Shu at all.

Ji Shu returned to Changle Courtyard briskly and handed over the deed to Xitao.

"You go to Zhuangzi now, find someone who is trustworthy, smart, and has a clean family background, and ask her to buy these two shops on West Street."

Ji Shu found the key to the dowry box from the dark grid and took a few silver tickets out.

"I'll buy the shop at this price."

Xi Tao pinched a few silver tickets and was surprised, "Just such a little money?" ”

"That sapphire is at most 10,000 taels, and now there is still a difference of 2,000 taels, so we will give 2,000 taels."

Xi Tao was shocked not for no reason, the two shops on West Street are in excellent locations, and in the past six years, the business has been extremely prosperous.

If you really want to put it up, a shop is cheaply discounted with silver, and someone will grab 5,000 taels.

Two thousand taels in two rooms, they have taken a big advantage!

Xi Tao danced with her hands, "The slave will go immediately!" ”
