"The third lady wants to divide the family property, how can the second miss agree?" Su Su and Ling'er were anxious.

Lu Tang said coldly: "From tomorrow, Ling'er will accompany the third lady to the treasury to see the dowry. Whatever she likes, they are all labeled with red signs, and they don't have to be moved first. Except for her mother's manuscripts and medicinal herbs, she could agree to anything. ”

Su Su rolled her eyes and hurriedly asked, "What does Miss mean, she can't take these things?" ”

Lu Tang took the Bingpai herbal tea and took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't let her take it, it's that she made it too much." How could Wen Hongyao allow her to marry in a beautiful way and keep the future prince of Jin? ”

"Will the eldest lady kill the third lady?" Su Su asked.

Lu Tang suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday, he eavesdropped on the conversation between Yan Shuqin and Wen Hongyao, and said softly: "Getting rid of Ziqian will have a grudge with the King of Jin, and Wen Hongyao is afraid that he will be in a dilemma because he can't kill Ziqian." ”

At the end of the month, Mama He took the account book to Lu Tang and said in a deep voice: "Our old man went to the account room these days, and I heard that the accounts on the big house are not quite right. Since the end of last year, there has been a huge amount of money every month, which is spent by Hou Ye. ”

From last year? Lu Tang's eyebrows moved and asked, "Where are the flowers?" ”

"Hou Ye's outer account room said that it was a congratulatory gift to the Jin Palace, Prime Minister Yan's Mansion, the queen in the palace, and the concubine. But these gifts are customary, and they are usually issued from the lady's inner account room. The two account rooms inside and outside are facing each other, so they don't boil over the sky noisily. The lady was afraid that the Hou Ye would raise the outer room outside, so she took the aunts to make a raft. Hou Ye was angry, and found out that his wife also had a deficit in her internal account, and wanted to force her to hand over the deficit cash. The couple had another fight. ”

Is the Hou Mansion struggling to make ends meet?

In Lutang's memory, this situation did not occur in his previous life.

It seems that Wenhou is using the second-room property to make up for the shortfall. In this life, he failed to occupy this money, and there were leaks in the accounts inside and outside the Hou Mansion.

"Send someone to check and see where this account goes." Lu Tang commanded.

Mama He hurriedly agreed, and there was a result after a while: "It's checked, and it's in Yongdingfang." In that year, the forbidden army occupied three private squares. Yongding Fang, which is closest to the West Market, is occupied by our Hou Mansion. There was no retreat after the Bliss Square case. ”

"It's a bustling market over there, and it's supposed to make money, how can you make up such a large sum of money?" Lutang pondered for a long time.

At this moment, Uncle Zhong walked quickly to the courtyard and said hurriedly: "Second Miss! Mrs. Fang Cai sent eight servants to guard the two street gates of our West Garden. He instructed that there have been many things in the house recently, and they are all sins of lax access. From now on, the ladies are not allowed to go out without permission. The second lady's oil-walled car was pulled away. ”

"What?" Lutang was shocked.

Uncle Zhong frowned again and said, "Having said that, but we watched, the car of the eldest lady and the third lady was not taken away, and they were still able to go out." ”

Grounded?!

Before thinking about it, Mrs. Wenhou had personally brought people to the West Garden.

Lu Tang hurriedly went to the courtyard to greet the salute, and Mrs. Wenhou did not enter the house, but sat under the porch, and the grandmothers on both sides were proudly fanning.

"Your second room has never been strict with your family education, so that there is a shameless girl like Ziqian. You are an ominous daughter, and you have killed people before you have decided on a marriage. If you are allowed to go out and walk around again, something will happen shamelessly in the future, and it will be difficult to see your parents under Jiuquan. From this day on, you will stay in the house and be honest with me! ”

Lu Tang stood in the shade of the tree and said with a smile: "I have already said that when Ziqian followed me, she didn't know how to call when she was pricked with a needle. Now her skills are all learned from her big sister. My aunt doesn't have to fight me. As for my foreboding death, it's nonsense. At the beginning, it was my aunt who dragged me hard, and I wanted to be strict with the second son, and I shirked it in every possible way, but the aunt said that the second son's life was hard. If the elders of the clan are invited to marry, the aunt and aunt will secretly make the silver promote. Mrs. Yan Fu said well, people didn't want our girl, it was my aunt who sent it alive, and it was you who forced your nephew to death, but took me to tie the raft. ”

Mrs. Wenhou said angrily to the grandmothers beside her: "Look at this girl, she has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and her eyes are not respectful, and she is about to eat people when she sees it." No matter how many mouths you have, I am also your aunt. Do you hold on to the second house property, and when you go out and enter the door every day, do you want to change things out? From today onwards, none of you lords and servants in the West Garden are allowed to go out! ”

Lu Tang laughed loudly: "I am the daughter of the second room, and the family property is in my yard, and the people inside and outside are speechless." Ziqian is my sister, and it is only natural for her to call me want. But who is my aunt, are you afraid that I will change things and lock me in the yard? I'm afraid that my aunt's housekeeper has been old for a long time, and the accounts are uneven, and he wants to occupy our things! You can seal the gate, build a wall, and you can lock up the surname Wen, but you can't shut up others. Outsiders can naturally go out if they want to go. ”

If she dares to close the door, she must be sure to win a heart. Wen Hou is at home today, it seems that the big house is too empty, and he doesn't care about his face, so he acquiesces to his wife's rampant.

"When I entered the gate of my Wen family, they were all people with the Wen family's death deed, and they only went out horizontally and did not go out vertically!" Mrs. Wenhou's face was flushed, and she ordered the grandmother next to her: "Let the little maid go and seal the gate of the West Garden!" ”

"Wait! Come! Lu Tang shouted loudly, calling out all the servants in the West Garden, and the old and young stood in a whole courtyard, "Auntie, do you have the deeds of these people?" ”

Most of the servants in the West Garden were married by Lutang's mother, Cui, and the deed of pawn was not in the hands of Mrs. Wenhou.

Lu Tang immediately ordered someone to bring an incense burner and put it in the courtyard, and asked Su Su to open the sandalwood box in the study and take out a thick stack of pawn deeds.

Mrs. Wenhou ordered her side to pick it up, and Lutang pushed it away.

A stack of papers fell into the incense burner, and it burned with great joy.

Lu Tang stood by the firelight, his eyes were red by the flames, and he smiled miserably: "They are all good people who have redeemed themselves, and my aunt please open the door and let them out." ”

When Mrs. Wenhou saw that she suddenly burned the contract to dismiss the servants, she was furious and shouted angrily: "The cheap girl eats inside and out!" I won't let people go, what can you do! I'm going to kill these minions today, and I won't leave any of them behind! Can I still pay for my life? Come on, beat the slut to death first! ”

The servants in the West Garden saw that Lutang burned the paperwork, and they were all moved, and they couldn't help but step forward and slowly surround Lutang.

Among them, Uncle Zhong was the oldest, and he walked up with a cane, and said with lowered eyes: "The old man is the second lady who came to accompany the room and has served in the Hou Mansion for nearly twenty years. How the eldest lady treats people in peace, I and other old servants see it. Old slaves are useless, and life and death are all up to others. I'm afraid that my wife won't be able to kill for a while, and there will be rumors of going out. ”

When Mrs. Wenhou shouted and shouted to kill for a long time, the grandmothers and little girls around her all tied their hands, but none of them dared to move.

Someone has already advised: "Madame don't need to be angry. There are too many minions in the West Garden, and the second lady is alone, so she doesn't need these people to serve. It's better to let them out and let everyone be quiet. In the future, let the second lady stop running around. ”

The servants of the Hou Mansion saw that Mrs. Wen Hou was ruthless, and most of them were a little sad about the death of rabbits and foxes, so they pulled each other and persuaded them to open the gate of the West Garden and hurriedly let people out.

Lu Tang knew that he couldn't hesitate at this time, and said loudly: "Anyone who burns the pawn documents, hurry up and pack up your belongings and go!" ”

At the same time, he looked at Uncle Zhong and Mama He, and secretly ordered Ling'er to pass the word, asking them to take their mother's title deed to Xishi immediately to settle down, and at the same time take care of everyone.

Mrs. Wenhou was angry and said sharply: "Anyone who goes out today, things and clothes are not allowed to be entrained, only naked are allowed to go!" ”

Lu Tang looked at the little lady behind Mrs. Wenhou, gritted her teeth and sneered: "Aunt is a virtuous family, and her decision to kill is really powerful. With such a good master, you have a bright future ahead of you. ”

When the servants of the Wen family saw such a scene, even the ladies' henchmen were all disheartened and cold.

Everyone in the West Garden looked at the color of the green begonia, and it was not time-consuming to argue, and a team of people came out with their bare hands.

There were only a dozen or so people left by Lutang's side, who were closest and loyal and refused to leave.

The entire West Garden was silent and silent.

Seeing that the servants were dismissed, Mrs. Wenhou angrily ordered someone to lock the door, and before leaving, she specially ordered the little servant not to let the master and servant of the second room enter or leave, otherwise she would be killed immediately.

"Uncle Zhong took everyone to the new house in Xishi, fortunately, there were preparations there."

The title deed under the mother's name that was encroached upon by the Paradise Workshop has been compensated by the household department. Xiao Yuanmu helped her buy a new house and two shops on the street near the West Market, which had been handed over to Zhongbo the month before.

Lutang wanted to repair it slowly, but he didn't expect Wenhou and his wife to tear their faces so quickly.

The money sent over there is soft, and the rent of two shops is enough to sustain them for a while.

But the trouble is that since then, there is no communication between inside and outside, which is disturbing.

"Second Miss, there was a scene just now, and the small kitchen didn't fire, let's go to Dengyinglou to call for noodles to eat, right?"

Lutang and Ling'er were both frowning in contemplation, they couldn't imagine that Su Su's heart was so wide.

"You can't even fly a mosquito, how can you call it a mat?" Ling'er smacked her brain broken.

Who knew that Su Su's face was full of pride, and he came up and said, "Second Miss forgot?" We have here the shadow guard sent by King Qi. He was guarding the market outside the gate, and when he saw that the door was closed and the servants were dismissed, he came in for fear that something would happen. He asked the second lady to say goodbye, if it is inconvenient to go in and out of the purchase, he can help us buy it back. ”

"The shadow guard of the Qi Palace, I haven't seen it, how do you know?" Lutang was particularly surprised.

On that day, he was separated from Xiao Yuanmu, and he casually said that he would send someone to protect him. But Lutang had never seen anyone, so he didn't take it to heart.

"His name is Su Jiu, and when the second lady went to the Qi Palace, we played cards. He's good at martial arts. Su Su's face was flushed.

Ah, I see.

The second young lady was grounded, and such a big thing as the West Garden's servants couldn't stop Su Su's face from being happy.

She can't wait to celebrate the reunion with this kid after a long absence!

Lu Tang was troubled by her, and the grievances and anger in his heart were dissipated a lot, and he smiled helplessly: "Don't call him quickly!" I also need 20 dishes, and more dim sum! ”

"Yes, yes, I'll call him to go!" Su Su happily ran out.

Ling'er couldn't help pursing her lips and comforted Lu Tang: "Su Su is so heartless, don't be angry, Second Miss." Since there is this Su guard, it is also a lot more convenient to send things and send news later. ”

Before the time of the lamp, Su Jiu came back with the food box.

This kid's light skills are indeed excellent, and Lutang has never seen a person carrying a flat shoulder to jump over the ridge, which is really an eye-opener.

There were so many things that he moved them twice before he brought them in.

"Brother Jiu has worked hard, drink some tea!" Su Su smiled so much that her eyes narrowed, and she caught up to wipe her sweat and hand out water, "The eldest lady came to make trouble and sealed our door, and it will be indispensable to trouble Brother Jiu in the future!" ”

Su Jiu was dressed in black clothes for night walking, and after drinking water, he knelt down on one knee for Lu Tang: "Su Jiu, the subordinate guard of the Qi Palace, was ordered by the lord to guard the second lady." On weekdays, the second lady is unharmed, and her subordinates have never appeared. Today, I saw that there was a change in the West Garden, so I came here to ask for peace. ”

"It's hard work, Su Su will take him to eat together." Lu Tang said with a smile.

Su Jiu refused to eat dinner, and still went out and jumped on the roof.

Su Su diligently set up the meal: "He just said that all of us here are gone, and he is afraid that it will be cold at night, so he will guard in the garden instead." ”

Lu Tang said helplessly: "With his kung fu, it doesn't matter where he guards." Just don't be a demon for me. ”

Su Sudeng's face turned red and he snorted: "Miss said that she would form an alliance with the King of Qi, and the slave maid would take care of the palace shadow guard." ”

Ling'er served rice to Lutang cloth vegetables, and couldn't help laughing.

There were only a dozen or so people left in the entire West Garden, and Lutang simply called over.

"From now on, we will depend on each other." Lutang replaced wine with tea, first toast a glass, "Don't be discouraged, you can't suffer a loss with me." ”

Sister-in-law He, who looked at the warehouse, was Mama He's daughter-in-law, holding chopsticks and smiling: "We are the only one left, and we will also help the second lady to take the family property together, they are really too deceitful!" ”

"That's right! The second lady, the Hou Ye and his wife are Sima Zhao's heart. We won't leave any of them alone! ”

Lu Tang lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "We can't get out of the gate, but we can still walk freely in the house." You should go to the big house and ask around, and come back to tell me a lively story. ”

"Yes." Everyone knew it and nodded in agreement.

Everyone didn't sit around or down, but it was like having a reunion dinner.
