New widow

The housekeeper couldn't help but laugh. Housekeeper Qiu knew that he was the housekeeper of the Chu family. His niece was dead and he couldn't stand up for her. Naturally, he couldn't come forward to say hello or pretend to be the master. He just struck up a conversation and left. .

"Have you seen it? If you don't be loyal to your master, this is what will happen in the end." The prefect's housekeeper said disdainfully, and the housekeeper also smiled: "We are different from him. Thank you very much. I will go back now."

The housekeeper left in a hurry. When he returned to the post house, Chu Zhixian had already finished his dinner. As soon as the housekeeper told what he had learned about, Chu Zhixian nodded: "This matter will definitely not go so smoothly. That's all. I won't do it right away." I just want to do it." The housekeeper cursed in his heart, but still said to Chu Zhixian: "The first seven days have passed, where can I put this coffin temporarily?"

"I heard that Mr. Zhou Ge's granddaughter also died here. The coffin was placed in the nunnery, so let's put it in the nunnery. You can take two people to settle the matter tomorrow and give the nunnery thirty taels of silver. , after a few years, I will go to Beijing and come back, pass by this place, and then return to my hometown for burial."

The housekeeper couldn't help but glance at Chu Zhi County, so Chu Zhi County won't even deliver the coffin tomorrow? Sensing that the housekeeper glanced at him, Chu Zhixian already smiled and said: "Don't think that I am not doing this well. I have many things to be busy with tomorrow. Besides, in a few years, my son will After marrying a daughter-in-law, wouldn’t it fulfill his filial piety by asking him to come here in person and send his mother’s coffin back to his hometown for burial?”

What Chu Zhixian said sounded very reasonable. The housekeeper respectfully responded, "Sir, you are right."

"Go." Chu Zhixian yawned. This matter can finally be completed. Tomorrow I will take the concubine, and three days later I will hire a new wife. In another ten days, she will become a candle in this post house. You can leave here and go to Wuxian to take office.

Butler Qiu was thinking about something along the way. He almost bumped into someone when he was about to reach the door of his house, but the matchmaker stopped him: "Isn't this Brother Qiu? Why haven't we seen each other for a few days? He doesn't even smile anymore."

"So it's you. Didn't you say last year that there was a marriage for my great-nephew? Why haven't I seen you these days?" As soon as Butler Qiu said these words, the matchmaker's expression changed, and then the matchmaker smiled. : "You're talking about this, not me. Who doesn't know what's going on in your family right now? How can I find someone willing to marry her in this moment?"

"Although our family has told the truth, we can still live a good life." Butler Qiu's words are not bragging. Although Butler Qiu is not a good man, Qiu Da is a good man and works as a clerk in the Du family. Over the years, I have accumulated a lot of things. When Butler Qiu brought his two grandnephews back, those things naturally became Butler Qiu's.

Besides, Wang Shangshu didn't say that he would collect Butler Qiu's things and leave, so the Qiu family could still live well.

"Yes, yes, we all know that you have your back against the big tree to enjoy the shade." The matchmaker said in conversation, but looking at her look, she still wanted to leave. When Butler Qiu saw the matchmaker looking like she wanted to leave, he didn't stop her: "It seems that your business has been good these days and you are so busy."

"It's just to make some hard money." The matchmaker said softly: "One thing, I have always been curious to ask, how come your niece's son-in-law is also an official, why didn't you send these children away in the first place? If you live with your aunt, no one else dares to bully you."

"I had such an idea at first, but now that my niece is gone, how can I say this?" As soon as Butler Qiu said these words, the matchmaker sighed: "It's about things in this world. This is the case for everyone, but I ended up doing two more businesses."

"So, he wants to remarry?" Butler Qiu's words made the matchmaker smile: "Not only does he want to remarry, but he also wants to take a concubine. As for the concubine, you have heard of it. His surname is Fang, from the oil shop in front of him. My daughter is also a flower, and her appearance is somewhat similar to that of a willow orchid, but she is smaller and smaller."

Butler Qiu's expression suddenly became more and more ugly. The matchmaker didn't care about Butler Qiu's expression. She just said hello to Butler Qiu again and left happily. After the matchmaker left, Butler Qiu slowly walked back to his home. There must be something fishy about the niece's death, but the Qiu family has no way to seek justice for Mrs. Chu.

"My brother-in-law is really cruel and ruthless. Why didn't I notice it at first?" After the prefect's wife left, Su Qiao went to tell Wan Dequan about it. Wan Dequan only sighed after hearing this. Aunt Wan stretched out her hand and hit him: "Why are you talking about this now? You didn't make the decision in the first place."

Mrs. Wan held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, but remained motionless, not knowing what she was thinking. Su Qiao already smiled: "It's all in the past. If my mother had known earlier, she would never have married."

But whether to marry or not is not up to Wan. Aunt Wan couldn't help but put her arms around Wan'er. Wan'er looked at Aunt Wan: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom just wants to have a good daughter, a good daughter." Aunt Wan kept talking about several good daughters, her voice choked up, and Mrs. Wan sighed softly: "That's all, there is nothing to say about those."

"What matters now is how to clear my niece's grievances." Wan Dequan followed, and Old Mrs. Wan looked at Suqiao: "Your uncle knows much better than me about this matter in the palace. As for you, you can also ask him more."

"I was just thinking about what my uncle said in the daytime. He said, although sometimes this person is inconspicuous, the things he does will shock many people. I was just wondering, is there any Such a person." Su Qiao's words made Wan Dequan frown, and then Wan Dequan smiled: "As long as they come up with a way, besides, I don't believe they can cover up the sky with one hand."

"Mrs. Chu's mother-in-law, don't you say anything?" Aunt Wan's words made Wan Dequan smile: "At this moment, Mrs. Chu's brother is in prison and is already on death row. As for my uncle, he is just a The housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion and the rest of my mother's family are so scared that they dare to take care of it."

"It's so awesome that this person can do this." Aunt Wan wanted to curse a few more words, but couldn't think of what to curse. Su Qiao had already smiled: "I was thinking of someone else."

who? Everyone looked at Su Qiao, but Su Qiao yawned: "It's late, it's time to go and have a rest. My uncle should go to the shop early tomorrow. We won't do business for a day today. If tomorrow? If you don’t go, Wan’er’s dowry money and cousin’s money for his wife will be gone.”
