Drink indulgently all night, and then fall asleep. Guo Jianshi and his entourage slept until dawn, and then had lunch at the mansion before saying goodbye and leaving.

Not long after they left, Wei Tingshi really took Mrs. Tingshi to the mansion together.

When Mrs. Wei Jianshi entered the door, she took Mu Jiaojiao's hand and shed tears.

"My family Goro is young, and he is spoiled by me, but in fact, he has no bad intentions. He did this just to scare you, and he didn't mean anything else! Mrs. Prefect, you are also a mother, and your children must have times when they are disobedient and make mistakes. But if the child makes a mistake, do we really ignore him? That is also the meat that fell from our own body, and what we can do as mothers is to make amends to other families, and then take the child back to educate him, so that he will not make such mistakes again in the future, don't you say?"

"I said no. Mu Jiaojiao said coolly.

Mrs. Wei was stunned.

Mu Jiaojiao said: "If my child makes a mistake, I will protect him if I can protect him." But if I can't protect it, it means that either I am incompetent, or he has indeed made a terrible mistake. In that case, I won't care anymore. It's good to let him eat and learn a lesson, knowing that not everything in this world allows him to do whatever he wants. With this unforgettable lesson, he will know how to act in the future. If it still doesn't work, then it means that he is hopeless, no matter what. ”

Mrs. Will's eyes widened as she listened. It took a long time before she said coldly: "So, do you really plan to pursue us to the end?"

"Isn't it natural for people to pay for the wrong things they have done?" Mu Jiaojiao said.

"Mrs. Governor Cui, don't forget, you are also a mother, and you also have several children! If your child falls to this point, will you watch him suffer by others pinching his hands?" Mrs. Wei Tingshi whispered.

"Of course I will. Mu Jiaojiao said.

"That ......"

"However, it is not my children who are being pinched in the hands of others, but my apprentices. You made me compare my heart to my heart, I'm sorry I can't do it. ”

"You ......" Mrs. Wei Tingshi choked again, and almost couldn't lift it in one breath.

Mu Jiaojiao Shi Ran poured herself a cup of tea, and then said, "But...... If you really want to bring him back, it's not impossible. ”

When Mrs. Wei Tingshi heard this, a flame of hope ignited in front of her eyes.

"Whatever you want, just say it!"

"I don't want much, I just want Wei Gorou-kun to pay for the damage he has done. Mu Jiaojiao said, "For example, my eldest lady's birthday banquet was interrupted, for example, my husband was beaten up a few times and is still scarred, for example, the pharmacy over there was destroyed, for example, the medicinal materials we hoarded there were knocked over and dirty, and my apprentice was also frightened, and he is still frightened, and so on." ”

A contemptuous smile appeared in Mrs. Will's eyes. After pretending for a long time, didn't the result just ask them for money? A merchant girl is a merchant girl, and ten years after marrying into the Boling Cui clan have not washed away the copper smell of her body.

Still, it's a good thing for them.

After thinking about it for a while, she said: "My family Goro is indeed at fault in this matter, and we should compensate for these things." Let me do the math, I'll give you a total of 100 as compensation, is that enough?"

Mu Jiaojiao only smiled slightly when she heard this.

"Soybean, bring the gift list on the eldest lady's birthday and read it to Mrs. Wei Tingshi. ”

"Yes. Huang Dou casually took out a list and said crisply, "Mrs. Boling Cui, give a gold-inlaid jade carved peony flower collar, worth 300 yuan; Mrs. Da Shao, give a pair of agate bracelets, worth 100 yuan; and the second young lady...... The Third Young Lady ...... Guo Tingshi gave a dagger inlaid with precious stones, worth 300 yuan, and Lu Guogong gave a mandarin duck sword forged with fine iron in the Western Regions, worth 200 yuan...... The king of Hejian County will give a nightgown made of ice cicada silk, which is priceless in the market, with a rough estimate of 1,000 guan, and a set of ruby accessories, worth no less than 500 guan, and a gold pendant anklet with a nanzhu anklet, 300 guan......"

One number after another came into her ears, and Mrs. Wei Tingshi's face turned pale little by little.

After reading the list, Huang Dou said as if he remembered something: "By the way, Wei Tingshi also came to drink yesterday, but he didn't seem to send a congratulatory gift?"

Mrs. Wei Tingshi's old face turned red.

Mu Jiaojiao didn't seem to hear it, and only waved his hand. "It's okay, you go down!"

Huang Dou hurriedly accepted the list and bowed down.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled slightly and looked at Mrs. Wei Jiaoshi: "After listening to this, you must have a number in your heart by now, right?"

There are numbers, of course there are numbers, doesn't it mean that this hundred times is not enough to give a congratulatory gift to her eldest lady? As for the rest, it is natural to count it separately.

After listening to Huang Dou read the list, Mrs. Wei Tingshi knew that she had boarded the thief ship. But now, she can't climb down unless she hands over the ransom that satisfies Mu Jiaojiao!

After comparing them in his heart for a long time, Mrs. Wei Tingshi gritted her teeth in pain: "Five hundred times, it's always okay, right?"

Mu Jiaojiao covered her lips and chuckled. "Madame Thorn, you really know how to tell jokes. As an elder, you and Guo Tingshi should be regarded as the same generation, right? The value of the congratulatory gifts they gave is great, you have heard it just now, and you should know it in your heart. ”

Mrs. Wei Tingshi couldn't help but bark on her back molars.

This person is really a lion with a big mouth! What does they have to do with their family, and it costs two or three hundred yuan to give a congratulatory gift? She also thinks that if Wei Tingshi can come over to cheer up, he will already give their family enough face and make their family shine!

It's just that now they are people under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Mrs. Wei Jianshi thought for a moment: "Six hundred guan!"

Mu Jiaojiao smiled. "Mrs. Thorn, are you going to the street to buy groceries, and you are bargaining like this?"

As if you weren't bargaining!, Mrs. Willis looked at her hatefully. "How much do you want, you can tell the number yourself!"

"How embarrassing is that? How much money to give, that's what you want, Madame Thorn. If I ask for it, wouldn't it be too vulgar? Mu Jiaojiao smiled slightly.

You're vulgar enough by now, and there's no affection between us!

Mrs. Wei Tingshi shouted in her heart, and said, "Seven hundred, there are no more." My lord has a breeze on his sleeves, and he lives on that little money every month. These 700 yuan is already his money for more than half a year, and we still have to scrape together to get it together. ”

"Since Mrs. Thorn Shi said so, then I don't want more from you, just make up a whole number!" Mu Jiaojiao didn't want to hear her cry poor, so she simply called out at a price.

Mrs. Wei Tingshi almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"A thousand, you're robbing money!"

"Mrs. Assassin Shi, you should know that if Wei Wulangjun is really convicted, he will be sentenced to three years in prison, to say the least. After three years of suffering and sinning outside, I only spent 1,000 yuan to buy it, which I thought was already very cheap. "Mu Jiaojiao's point is about to stop.

She hadn't yet described to her the tortures she had to endure on the way to exile, and what it was like to live three years of life worse than death. With Wei Wulangjun's pampered temperament, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive.

Although she didn't say it, Mrs. Wei Tingshi also understood it in her heart.

Now that Mu Jiaojiao doesn't let go, she can only grit her teeth and admit it!

"Okay, a thousand is a thousand. But you have to give my son back to me today!"

"Pay the money with one hand, and hand over the person. Mu Jiaojiao only said.

"I didn't bring that much money!" cried Mrs. Willy. Who is crazy to carry a thousand with him?

"Then you can make an IOU first. Mu Jiaojiao said, and ordered someone to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Mrs. Wei Tingshi also felt the humiliation deeply.

However, for the sake of her son, she still tried her best to grit her teeth and wrote an IOU according to Mu Jiaojiao's instructions.

After writing the note, pressing the handprint, and after confirming that it was correct, Mu Jiaojiao said: "Go and invite Wei Wulangjun out!"

Mrs. Wei Tingshi didn't want to stay here for a moment, so she hurriedly ran out to pick up her son.

The mother and son got together, hugged and cried. Then, Mrs. Wei Tingshi took Wei Wulangjun's hand: "Son, let's go, never come to this ghost place again!"

"Hmm!" Wei Wulangjun nodded heavily, not forgetting to glare at Mu Jiaojiao viciously.

It's really good, the miserable experience of the past few days has not made him afraid. It seems that he won't stop in the future! Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly returned him a smile.

Wei Wulangjun's eyes flashed, and his cheeks flushed uncontrollably!

Mrs. Wills did not notice this little condition of her son. She pulled Wei Wulangjun and wanted to inform Wei Tingshi of this great thing. Who knew that Wei Tingshi also happened to come out of Cui Pu's study at this time.

The family of three took a look at each other, and ran out without saying a word.

It wasn't until they returned to their own mansion that they all let out a sigh of relief.

"How did you come out?" Wei Tingshi hurriedly asked Mrs. Wei Tingshi.

Mrs. Wei Jianshi told Mu Jiaojiao what happened to her.

Wei Thorn Shi shou: "A thousand runs...... Gorou's life is really not cheap!"

Wei Wulang shrank back. "I will definitely pay you back this money in the future. ”

"Of course you have to pay this back, otherwise you will waste how much money we have on you?" Wei Tingshi said coldly, "However, it is imperative that you remember this lesson for me, and don't make the same mistake again!

God knows how aggrieved he was in front of Cui Pu today!

Seeing him so annoyed and angry, Mrs. Wei Tingshi asked in a low voice, "But Cui Liu, what excessive demands did he make of you?"

"He dares!" Wei Tingshi immediately stiffened his neck.

But it really looks like it! Why else is his face so ugly?

Mrs. Wei Tingshi said secretly in her heart, but she still obediently changed her words: "Then, what did you talk about behind closed doors?"

Wei Tingshi's face looked a little better. "I didn't talk about anything. I just promised him that I would strictly discipline Gorou in the future, and if I didn't let him do such a thing, he wouldn't pursue it anymore. Then, we talked about the details of promoting decoction in other parts of Lingnan. ”

"That's it?

This is too simple, Mrs. Wei Tingshi can't believe it.

"They've already squeezed a thousand yuan out of you, what do you want? He's just a prefect anyway, and he still has to live under me. If he goes too far, I will send a letter to the sage, and he will wait to be trapped and die in this place in Lingnan for the rest of his life!" Wei Tingshi snorted coldly.

That's just as well. How can Wei Tingshi say that he also holds the power of life and death of Cui Pu in his hands, no matter how unscrupulous he is, he doesn't dare to make too much trouble.

Thinking like this, Mrs. Wei Tingshi also believed it.

She quickly took Wei Wulangjun's hand, wanting to take advantage of the agency to care about her son. It just so happened that Wei Tingshi didn't want to see this son again for a while, so he directly waved his hand and asked them to go out quickly.

However, just as he stepped out of the study, Wei Tingshi's voice came from behind him: "You go and tell the account office, you will prepare a piece of money every month in the future, and there will be medicines from all over Lingnan to come and get it at that time." ”

Mrs. Wei Tingshi turned her head suddenly, Wei Tingshi had already lowered her head, and only continued coldly: "Since I have implemented the method of giving decoction medicine in other places, then I have covered the medicine expenses in all the places below. There are not many horizontal and vertical, so it is good to do good deeds for the people and accumulate virtue. ”

Mrs. Wei moved her lips, trying to say something, but she didn't say it.

On the side of the mansion, Cui Pu sent Wei Jiaoshi away with his front foot, and came to Mu Jiaojiao with a roar on his back foot.

"How's it going, how much is it going to be?" he quickly asked.

Mu Jiaojiao handed him the IOU. Cui Pu immediately laughed: "A thousand times! Haha, this is enough for their flesh to hurt! However, this is just the beginning, and there will be times when their flesh hurts!"

But enough laughter was enough, and his face collapsed again. "What's the use of this thousand times for us? We don't lack money!"

"It's true that we are not short of money, but there are more people who are short of money in the world. A thousand, I'm afraid it's not enough!" Mu Jiaojiao said.

"You're right. Cui Pu shrugged his shoulders and sighed.

In these years, the most important thing is to spend money.

While the two were talking, Xiao Si'er came in again, holding several posts in his hands.

Cui Pu raised his eyebrows, and then listened to Xiao Si'er say: "Lang Jun, the president and the two vice presidents of the Guangzhou Huren Chamber of Commerce came to the door in person today to send a birthday gift to the eldest lady." ”

It's interesting to come to give a congratulatory gift only after the birthday has passed! Cui Pu chuckled.

However, everyone knows that the congratulatory gift is fake, and it is true that these Hu businessmen took the opportunity to come over and have a relationship with him.

What happened yesterday at the gate of Fanfang must have frightened them, right? No wonder they couldn't hold it back, so they hurriedly took the initiative to send it to the door today.

Cui Pu waved his hand: "Leave the things behind, and then tell them that I am not free now, and I will see them another day when I am free." ”

Xiao Si'er left the prayer post behind, and then went down.

Cui Pu grabbed the post again and shook it in front of Mu Jiaojiao.

"You're right. Now, things are coming to the door again!"
