Relying on the tightness of her wrapping, Zhang Cuihua couldn't see her face clearly from the door opposite, so she showed the land deed to the man, and deliberately lowered her voice to talk nonsense to the man: "Master will come to live in Beijing soon, send me Come here first to tidy up the house. Who knew that the slaves who looked after the house had all fled, so they broke the lock as a last resort."
Seeing that Zhang Cuihua had the land deed in hand, what she said was well-founded, and the doorman knew that this was indeed an owner's house, so he believed Zhang Cuihua's words.He has lived here for a long time, and he is very familiar with the situation of the servant who used to guard the house, so he had to defend him to Zhang Cuihua:
"Sister-in-law, don't wrong the old Luo who is in charge of the house. I heard from the old Luo that the master has not given money for envoys for three or four years. He is a slave and dare not go out to work by himself, so as not to sue the officials. Usually It’s because our wife is kind, let us give him something to eat.”
"Old Luo is a loyal man. He wondered if the master didn't believe me for so many years. Maybe something happened in the mansion. He only decided to return to Jinling half a year ago. Before he left, he told us that if the master's family came, we must replace him. He replied, he went back to Jinling, not escaped." After speaking, he looked at Zhang Cuihua and the others angrily, as if complaining that they came too late.
Zhang Cuihua nodded following his words: "I also heard people say that Lao Luo is an honest man, and I wondered if it was because of the courage raised in Beijing that he dared to run away regardless of his master's kindness. Even if he went back to Jinling, why? Didn't you see me before I came?"
Hearing what she said was serious, the door next door of course believed that she was sent by the old Luo Tou's family - this is the capital at the foot of the emperor, and it is also a place where rich and wealthy people gather in the eastern city. They all have some contacts, it takes a daring thief to pretend to be such a big house.
Menzi sighed and said, "My sister-in-law is also from Jinling herself. What else do you not know? From Beijing to Jinling, there is both land and water. If you have money, it will take more than a month. What's more, old Luotou I don’t have any money in my hand, and I don’t know how to ask for food all the way back.” The bigger possibility is that the people disappeared before Jinling.
Listening to this doorman's talk, Zhang Cuihua felt that the master next door should not be a difficult person to get along with. The so-called servant looks like a master. A servant who is so considerate of others, without the usual restraint and guidance of the master, would not be so unfair to guard the house for a neighbor.Because she politely thanked the door and said that she would wait for her house to be tidied up, she invited the door to come and sit down. After the master came, she would also return to Yun to visit her neighbors, and then she brought the two families she bought in. .
There was no place to stay in the house, so Zhang Cuihua stood and asked about the situation of the two families: a couple named Li, a couple in their 30s, and two sons, one sixteen and one fifteen, originally lived in Beijing. Zhaoyin's mansion is on errand.A few days ago, something bad happened to Jing Zhaoyin, and all the slaves in the mansion were sold by officials.The husband and wife didn't want to be separated from their son, so they bought Ren Yazi with the only scraps of silver left on them, and Zhang Cuihua's family bought them all today.
The other family's surname is Qian. The husband and wife have a daughter. They are not servants of the government, but people from a mountain village fifty or sixty miles away from the city. A few acres of land in the family have been taken by someone with power, and the family has no choice but to sell it themselves. itself.I also didn't want my family to be separated, so I didn't wait for a buyer.
"You only have one daughter?" Zhang Cuihua frowned when she heard the situation of the Qian family. This kind of situation is not common in the countryside. Usually, the daughter is sold. The husband and wife can have a way of life, and the whole family will not sell themselves together.
The Qian family was a little bit embarrassed and didn't dare to look up. Zhang Cuihua hummed: "If I don't tell the truth, I can buy you, or I can sell you. It's just that by then, I won't sell all of you. One place."
The man from the Qian family, Boss Qian, knelt down to Zhang Cuihua: "Master." Up to now, Zhang Cuihua has not told these people his name. His leg was broken, the doctor in the countryside can't cure it, and the cost of going to the city is too high, so we..."
Sympathy is impossible, so Zhang Cuihua only asked, "Where is your son now, and what are his plans for the future?"
Boss Qian burst into tears: "Now I'm living in the backyard of the hospital, my leg is healed, but in the future..." It's a blessing to be able to heal my leg. My family of three sold themselves, and I can only look after my son in the future. Take one step at a time.
But Zhang Cuihua had no choice but to guard against: "You have sold your body, and your whole body belongs to the master. If you still want to get involved with your son, I will not tolerate it here."
"Grandma," Mrs. Qian knelt down and wanted to hug Zhang Cuihua's leg, but she dodged it, and cried, "Grandma please be merciful, let me work for grandma after my son heals his leg."
It is more convenient for a commoner to walk outside than the slaves.Zhang Cuihua is a little tempted, but it depends on the age of Boss Qian. His son will not even reach the age of 20. If he will go in and out of the mansion frequently in the future, let alone something bad will spread. The whole Qian family is here at this time. Even if you have a bad heart, you have to guard against it.
Seeing Zhang Cuihua pondering, Boss Qian gritted his teeth: "If grandma is worried, you can let my son sign a contract of sale." As soon as he finished saying this, Boss Qian cried out: "My son is not bad at school, If you sign the deed of selling yourself, you will no longer be able to take the imperial examination."
Unexpectedly, Boss Qian’s family looks vulgar, and his son is still a seed for studying. Zhang Cuihua has some thoughts in his heart, but since he hasn’t seen anyone now, it’s hard to tell Boss Qian and his wife, let them get up, just wait for them Let's talk about it after the son has healed his leg.
Because the Li family used to be servants of the original Jingzhao Yin's mansion, and they should be more familiar with the affairs of Beijing than Boss Qian, who came from the mountains, Zhang Cuihua decided that Li Nian, a man from the Li family, would be in charge temporarily, and asked them to work within three days. Clean up the place where you live and the place where the fire broke out.Leaving 20 taels of silver for Li Nian to buy clothes and bedding for several people, Zhang Cuihua asked Boss Qian to go out and hire a car, and returned to the East Courtyard from the corner gate.
The harvest of this trip was not small, and Zhang Cuihua was in a good mood, so she took the initiative to pay Mrs. Xing the next day.As soon as he entered the main courtyard, he heard Yingchun crying. He didn't know how long he had been crying. It sounded like his voice was hoarse.
Zhang Cuihua hurriedly searched with her soul power, and found that Madam Chen, who was replaced by Mrs. Xing to replace Mrs. Wang, was patting Yingchun, and her mouth was not clean: "Crying, I know howling every day, crying when I wake up, crying when I'm hungry, and crying when I'm tired. I will be scolded." After speaking, he slapped Yingchun's ass.
The child has no endurance, so naturally he cries louder and his voice becomes hoarse.Wang Shanbao's family came out of the main room, and shouted towards the west wing: "Zhou family, why is it your turn to serve the girl, she can't stop crying, why don't you coax her."
That week's family member was the most gluttonous and lazy. When she heard Wang Shanbao's family scolding her, she didn't dare to speak back, so she hit the child again, which made the child cry even louder as if being pricked by a needle.
Zhang Cuihua quickly walked to the door of the west wing room, raised her hand and opened the curtain heavily, snatched the child from the Zhou family's arms, and kicked her to the ground: "You slap the child one by one. Blame the child for crying, do you know it hurts when I kick you?"
Wang Shanbao's family had seen Zhang Cuihua enter the main courtyard earlier, so they didn't want to talk to her, but who knew that she didn't greet Mrs. Xing, but went to the west wing instead, how could Wang Shanbao's family bear it?
When Zhang Cuihua broke the Zhou family's behavior, Wang Shanbao's family also felt ashamed for a while, and scolded the Zhou family.Zhang Cuihua didn't want to endure it, and carried Yingchun to the main room, and didn't greet Mrs. Xing, and asked her directly: "Madam said she wanted to borrow a girl to recruit a man, but I am an aunt and dare not reject it, send the girl well." Go to the wife's yard. But if you treat girls like this, let alone boys, I'm afraid you won't be able to recruit girls."
Before Mrs. Xing got angry, Wang Shanbao's family came to Mrs. Xing's ear and told Mrs. Xing what the Zhou family had done just now. Madam Xing wanted to curse but couldn't find a reason, so she had to call the Zhou family over to vent her anger.
Zhang Cuihua managed to find an excuse, she had to raise Yingchun by herself, Mrs. Xing was unwilling, and neither of the two would give in when they came and went.When Jia Amnesty came back, what he saw was the quarrel between his wife and concubine.
"You guys are fighting with geese every day, don't you have nothing to do?" Jia She also had a headache: "Mr. Zhang, you dare to yell at the mistress, don't you want to stay in the mansion?"
Zhang Cuihua echoed: "Master, why didn't you ask me why I was arguing with my wife? A good child is allowed to be rubbed by Nanny Chen, why doesn't a mother like me feel distressed."
Mrs. Xing stepped forward and wanted to tell the difference for herself. Jia Amnesty was a scumbag, so she could see Zhang Cuihua's utter fearlessness. Just raise it, and you will take care of all the children yourself." An aunt who didn't even look down on the master and turned against her.
"Master, Yingchun is the master's own daughter." That's all Zhang Cuihua said.
Mrs. Xing felt complacent, and felt that she, the wife of the wife, had won: how much is an aunt's role?The proportion of the girl is more than twice that of the aunt.Everyone in the mansion got their quotas from the main courtyard together. Aunt Zhang issued the quotas for Yingchun herself, and the quota for Yingchun naturally fell into her hands.
Jia Amnesty also yelled at Zhang Cuihua: "Because Yingchun is the master's own daughter, don't raise her like a petty child, and don't raise her like a flower girl. She must not be short of what other girls in the house have. "
All right, Zhang Cuihua took a deep breath, told herself that the house in the east city hadn't been tidied up yet, and she had to endure it for another two days, so she thought of tidying up the spring things in the west wing.Jia Amnesty didn't even allow this, thinking to use this to make Zhang Cuihua soften.Unexpectedly, Zhang Cuihua left with Yingchun in her arms, and kicked the Zhou family who wanted to follow. Jia She and Mrs. Xing who kicked were dumbfounded, and forgot to scold her for being presumptuous.
In the evening, Wang Lai's family returned to Zhang Cuihua's yard, and told Zhang Cuihua that she was squeezed out by Zhou's family everywhere in the west wing of the main courtyard, and she couldn't get close to the girl and other things.Zhang Cuihua couldn't find anyone else to vent her anger, so she blamed Jia Amnesty on the matter.
Wanting revenge on Jia She is more convenient than others.In her life as Mrs. Zhang, although she didn't know where Jia She's private house was hidden, but Jia She also put a lot of good things in the outer study, and Zhang Cuihua knew about it.
In the dead of night, Zhang Cuihua quietly blocked the five senses of the people in the yard, avoided the night watchmen all the way, and came to Jia Shen's study outside without hindrance.I still thought in my heart, after I moved to the house, I must buy more night watchmen, and let them patrol carefully, like Rongguo Mansion's night watchman is so perfunctory, and even ten locks in the warehouse have to be stolen.
Jia Amnesty didn't know which common house he stayed that night, the doorkeeper in the study outside was snoring loudly, Zhang Cuihua walked past the boy without avoiding his figure, and the boy didn't wake up.
The study room was dark, Zhang Cuihua pushed the door lightly and went in, but there was no one in sight.Although he didn't dare to light the lamp, but the soul power is a good thing, and after a while he found the place where Jia She put the banknote and land deed.
Zhang Cuihua stretched out her hand, thinking to herself: You said that Yingchun is your own daughter, so preparing a dowry for Yingchun is also the duty of a father, right?
In order to prevent Jia Amnesty from discovering the missing things too quickly, Zhang Cuihua did not sweep away the ornaments, jades, etc., but focused on taking care of the banknotes - she knew Jia Amnesty's habit, when she could go to the office to pay the money, Never use your private possessions.Now that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang still lacked the confidence to run the family, Jia Amnesty went to the public to pay money.
This trip to Jia She's study made Zhang Cuihua open the door to a new world. Anyway, Rongguo Mansion's money will be emptied by the Grand View Garden in the end. The same girl from Rongguo Mansion, who gets flowers in Yuanchun, why can't Yingchun spend?
From this day on, Zhang Cuihua walked around the Rongguo Mansion from time to time late at night, looking for private houses hidden by the masters, and visited her own house from time to time during the day to supervise the progress of the repairs.Seeing that Li Nian had already cleaned up his head as soon as he entered the floor in less than two days, but he only used one room for his family, he felt that it was still a rule, and he became more generous when he went out to collect the bank notes.
Li Nian looked at the 500 taels of silver bills in his hand, and couldn't believe that his master trusted him so much—with these money, he could buy more than ten acres of good land when he took his family to the countryside , and built another house, which has been on and off for a lifetime—he said to Zhang Cuihua with some hesitation: "Master, you want to repair the house. Many craftsmen are eager to take on such a big job. Usually after receiving the fixed money, wait for the master to look at it." If you are satisfied with the repairs, you can collect the rest of the money."
Zhang Cuihua smiled and said, "This is the fixed money that I asked you to give."
What? 500 taels of fixed silver, who must live in the repaired house? Li Wang and Boss Qian looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that his new master might be of high status.
As for living in the East City despite having a high status in the West City, both Li Nian and Boss Qian had a guess in their hearts: the two times they dealt with were the female masters, and the male masters had their own reasons for not coming forward.
What's the point?Do you need to guess? As a slave, I just need to do what my master told me to do.Li Nian, who had money in hand, vowed to Zhang Cuihua to rest assured that within a month, the house would be refurbished to look like new.
For this progress, Zhang Cuihua thinks it is acceptable - she has gained a lot in the past two nights, and in a month, she can find a few more places to hide money in Rongguo Mansion.
However, she also asked Li Nian to go to the market from time to time, and she wanted to buy a few more servants to come back to protect the courtyard. She also specially asked Li Nian to raise the courtyard wall as high as possible.The master has an order, Li Nian just nods yes, and Zhang Cuihua can return to Rongguo Mansion with peace of mind.
Just walked into her yard, quietly sealed the five senses of Dicui and others, and untied it when she returned to her room, Zhang Cuihua walked out of the room as if she was tired of copying scriptures: "What's the matter?" asked It is Dicui.
"Someone came from the second wife just now, saying that something was lost in the mansion. I was afraid that everyone would push me and push yours. It would not look good, so I asked people to search everywhere. I have searched all over here, and found something." Dicui said, keeping looking at Zhang Cuihua, trying to read something from her face.
Zhang Cuihua knew what she was wondering about: the people sent by Mrs. Wang must be very powerful, but she, the copyist, didn't respond at all. Who would believe it if she said it wasn't just pretending?
"What does the wife say? Did the people sent by the second wife only search your house, or did they also search other people's houses?" Zhang Cuihua frowned, not caring about Di Cui's inquisitive expression.Even if this girl wanted to go out of her way, she couldn't imagine that she was not in the room just now.
The wife she asked was of course Mrs. Xing, and Di Cui's answer was a little evasive: "When those people came, they said they wanted to search the house, but they didn't say what the wife had ordered. After they searched, the house was in a mess, slave We were only focused on cleaning the house and didn't pay attention to..."
Who is this sloppy looking for?Zhang Cuihua took a deep look at Di Cui, turned around and walked out. Di Cui trot followed in fright, and kept persuading Zhang Cuihua to return to her yard.
However, Di Cui understood how she was assigned to Zhang Cuihua's yard, and she didn't dare to ask others to stop Zhang Cuihua like Ming Cui, so she could only make a small noise to show her affection and reason.Can Zhang Cuihua listen to her?
Oh, other people's yards are not searched, only her yard is searched, which means she is a thief.Yes, Zhang Cuihua may have taken the lost things Mrs. Wang said in the past two nights, but Zhang Cuihua can guarantee that no one found out when she took them.
Now that these people are going to search her yard for stolen goods, they are still sent by Mrs. Wang. If they continue like this, the next time they can't say that they will search the house of the maids, but the room of her aunt who has a certificate. up.Do you really think that this is more than ten years later, when the Grand View Garden was raided, there were all girls eating while looking at Mrs. Wang's face?
Zhang Cuihua is also a certificate holder.
Besides, these days Zhang Cuihua has to go out of the mansion from time to time to see the progress of the renovation of the new house. Those people are really used to walking around. When she is not around, they break into their own house. Doesn't the fact that Zhang Cuihua is not in the mansion be exposed?
So today Zhang Cuihua must discuss an explanation.
When Mrs. Xing heard that Zhang Cuihua was coming, she also acted as if she was facing an enemy. It might be a bit embarrassing to say it, but Mrs. Xing failed to please Zhang Cuihua several times, so she had to be serious when facing her.
"Ma'am," Zhang Cuihua saluted Mrs. Xing, and explained her intention of coming straight to the point: "Madam, please make the decision for me. I am also the master's concubine who is fair and righteous. Now I am regarded as a thief. If you tell me about it, the master will be fine." Become a nest owner? How can people see the master?"
Mrs. Xing is very clear about this matter. There are several things missing in the main courtyard. She heard about it when she went to pay her respects to Mrs. Jia. Xiang, isn't it Mrs. Wang who begged the old lady for her?The aunt of the first room is getting close to the wife of the second room, so ask the second wife's people to search Zhang Cuihua's yard to see if they can't get along.
So Mrs. Xing looked embarrassed and said that she had lost things in her room several times before the main courtyard.When she said this, it immediately made people think that the person who stole something had tasted the sweetness in the East Courtyard, and then extended his hand to the Main Courtyard.
Mrs. Wang wasn't the only one who lost things, Zhang Cuihua didn't miss Jia Mu's place either.So the one who asked Mrs. Xing became Mother Jia, who not only asked Mrs. Xing when she lost her things, but also asked Mrs. Xing why she didn't check, and asked Mrs. Xing if she had anyone to suspect.
At this time, Mrs. Xing slowly expressed her doubts about Zhang Cuihua: "As long as she goes to pay her respects, all the things in my house will be gone. If she doesn't come for a few days, it will be quieter. It's also very annoying. I checked quietly, but nothing was found in the house. The old lady knows that she and I already have a relationship... so it's not good to make a big investigation to the end, lest people think that I can't tolerate an aunt. "
Hearing the things Mrs. Xing said, the corners of the mouths of Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang twitched: Mrs. Xing's lost things were not small. It's gone if you don't make a mistake, who believes it?
But this is the only clue now.Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang to check quietly. Mrs. Wang still wanted to win over Zhang Cuihua, but she felt that she couldn't check Zhang Cuihua's room as soon as she came up. What's more, I still know quite clearly.
If the search is done with great fanfare, but nothing can be found, Zhang Cuihua is nothing to be afraid of. An aunt, even an aunt who has a concubine certificate, is not afraid of her being turned upside down.But behind Zhang Cuihua is Jia She.
This is the one who is not stingy, and if it happens, the old lady has to be softer.
Mrs. Xing seemed to know Mrs. Wang's concerns, and she casually mentioned that Jia She had asked Zhang Cuihua to issue the Spring Festival order a few days ago, which made people feel that Zhang Cuihua might be in a tight spot, which accelerated the pace of stealing things— ——To be able to confirm Zhang Cuihua's reputation as a thief is more attractive to Mrs. Xing than the fact that she can get it.
However, Mrs. Wang still didn't ask people to check Zhang Cuihua's house directly. She just took advantage of the opportunity when Zhang Cuihua was concentrating on "copying scriptures", and Dicui opened Zhang Cuihua's private warehouse to see if the lost things were hidden in it.
Nature is nothing.Those who checked things even felt that Zhang Cuihua's private treasury was a bit too shabby.But no one will say that.
The people who checked didn’t say anything, but Zhang Cuihua wanted to say, “I can’t keep the rats in my private treasury. It’s hard for those people to search for such a long time. I’m going to ask if other people’s private treasuries are also checked. Now, have you found anything? Why should I only check on me, and everyone should check together to understand."
Dicui's face turned pale. Auntie didn't ask about her private treasury just now, so it turned out that she heard it in the house.
Mrs. Xing was displeased when Zhang Cuihua ran in front of her again to make trouble, and she had an impatient look on her face: "It's not mine who is checking you, you can go talk to the second wife yourself."
What Zhang Cuihua was waiting for was her words. She turned around and walked out, rubbing her eyes vigorously with a veil, and crying, "I can't live through this day. I've been named a thief." Forget it, who told me to be an aunt, but it will not work if it hurts the girl's reputation."
The more Xu Shi thought about it, the more he felt that he would bring Yingchun's reputation down. Zhang Cuihua felt sad and cried all the way like the sky was falling.She didn't ask anyone to prepare a car, she just howled at the moon gate between the East Courtyard and Rongguo Mansion, and the servants she attracted didn't care whether they were on business or not, they all looked around to watch the excitement.
Mrs. Wang got a report from someone, and secretly hated Zhang Cuihua for not knowing how to praise her. She had asked the searchers to only check her girl and private treasury, but not the room where she lived. .Just this piece of Cuihua is still making trouble. Is it because I feel that I have given birth to a daughter with good luck, so I don’t know the heights of the heavens and the earth?
A little aunt dared to refute her face, who gave her the courage?But Mrs. Wang still had to take people to the Moon Gate—in any case, this was also an errand assigned to her by Mother Jia. Now that she was being quarreled with, as the head wife, she had to deal with it easily.
At this time, Zhang Cuihua had gathered around many people, and she was crying and asking everyone to comment, and she described herself as a prosperous white lotus: "I know that I can't get on the stage, so I don't dare to go to the main courtyard for nothing to get in the way." People's eyes. I haven't even been to the main courtyard, why do I have to check my yard if I lose something, who saw me stealing something?"
"Okay, I'm still the aunt of the old man. If I make a mistake, I should be disciplined by the old man or the eldest wife. Who knows that it was the second wife who came to search my yard. I have never heard of the little aunt. Stretched into the uncle's house."
"Rongguo Mansion has always been strict in rules, and the wife should be fair. Who knows, everyone will watch people order dishes, and the private treasury of the people in their own room will not be searched. They only dare to attack those of us who are not in the public eye."
"Ma'am, you are the one who went early, let the servants be bullied and have not said a word of justice for the servants, and some people regard your good rules as decorations..." Seeing Mrs. Wang approaching, Zhang Cuihua cried louder.
Mrs. Wang wanted to spit out old blood—she knew that the lady Zhang Cuihua called was the dead Mrs. Zhang, not Mrs. Xing who lived in the main room of the East Courtyard.How much she looks down on Mrs. Xing now, how much she feared Mrs. Zhang back then.
In front of Mrs. Xing, Zhang Cuihua has never called herself a slave, even in front of her, the head wife, Zhang Cuihua holds a concubine document and calls herself "I".
Now that Zhang Cuihua kept saying that someone broke the rules set by Mrs. Zhang, do I need to ask who that person is?Besides, the little aunt stretched her hand into the uncle's room, said such words casually?
"Ms. Zhang!" Mrs. Wang's voice overlapped with someone else's voice called Zhang Cuihua.Zhang Cuihua noticed that there were two voices, one was inside the moon gate, the other was outside the moon gate, a female voice and a male voice.
The female voice is Mrs. Wang, while the male voice is Jia She.
These two people really have a tacit understanding.Zhang Cuihua thought badly, but ignored Mrs. Wang's voice, instead she turned to look at Jia She, who rushed over angrily, with a little surprise and disbelief in her red eyes: "Master, please make the decision for me .” Then he started to cry again.
Jia Amnesty looked at her red and swollen eyes, and felt that he thought it was a docile person at the beginning, it must be an illusion, or why the incidents that have been stirred up now are getting bigger and bigger, and the whole family knows about it every now and then?
"Go back to your yard and think about the past!" Jia She glared at Zhang Cuihua.
Mrs. Wang hastily greeted Jia She, because Zhang Cuihua was still a little uncomfortable with what she said just now, and wanted to tell Jia She that she had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the big house, but Zhang Cuihua refused to give her this opportunity:
"My lord, if something is lost in the main courtyard, it's reasonable to search everywhere. But I was found on someone who hadn't been to the main courtyard three times, and only my own courtyard was searched. Everyone in Dafang is considered a thief."
"Today I can check my yard, tomorrow I can check my wife's, and the day after tomorrow I should check the master's study." Do you dare to let someone check your study?
Jia Amnesty's face was even more gloomy and frightening. I don't know if it was because Zhang Cuihua didn't listen to him and went back to the yard to think about it, or he listened to Zhang Cuihua's provocation.
Mrs. Wang knew that Zhang Cuihua could not speak again, and said anxiously to Jia Amnesty, "My lord, it's not that my people only searched Aunt Zhang's yard alone. In fact, the eldest lady also said that something in her room was missing. It’s as silent as if there was nothing in the main courtyard, but the things I lost several times were all after Aunt Zhang asked for peace, so I asked someone to check Aunt Zhang’s private treasury.” The words are from your wife in the main house, and you need to find Please go to Mrs. Xing for trouble.
"Second wife's words sound ridiculous to me. My wife lost something because I went to pay her respects. My wife didn't have it. My wife asked me to check my things. Our master has been asking me to take care of the girl these days, and I have to copy Jing, did not go to the main courtyard to say hello, why does the second wife want to check my private treasury?"
Mrs. Wang was unable to answer the questions, so she had to apologize to Jia She.Jia Amnesty glanced at Zhang Cuihua, and said coldly, "Why don't you go back to your yard?"
Zhang Cuihua snorted resentfully, and said to Jia Amnesty: "If I go back to my own yard now, people will only think that I have recognized the name of a thief. I am a young man, but I have stained my wife's name. I am a wife and don't know anyone. The girl I used in my hand turned out to be a thief, but how can my wife..."
Hearing that she mentioned Mrs. Zhang again, neither Jia She nor Mrs. Wang looked even better.In front of Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to say: "Aunt Zhang, it's just an investigation to get rid of doubts. It's not just you, but you are the only decent person over there. Only after you are investigated can you investigate others. .”
These words are really level, but Zhang Cuihua can't get rid of it in a few words: "Since the second wife said that she wants to investigate others, I want to see if the second wife is as stern as the investigation."
Mrs. Wang choked again, she said this just to fool Zhang Cuihua away, but who knows that this is a person who doesn't like oil and salt.He couldn't help but glance at Jia Amnesty, wanting to see if Zhang Cuihua was black when he was close to ink.
Zhang Cuihua wanted to use this glance to make a fuss again, but Jia She seemed to see through her intention and coughed.Zhang Cuihua just woke up, and she is very happy to say it now, but if the servants onlookers listen to it, maybe there will be some things that Jia She and Mrs. Wang have to say.
It is not a good word for Rongguo Mansion's reputation.If there is a half-word spread out of the mansion, the reputation of Rongguo mansion will be bad, and Jia Mu and other people in power may abandon their cars to protect the handsome.
That car must belong to Zhang Cuihua.If she was directly destroyed humanely, Mother Jia would not even frown—Dragon Girl is Yingchun, not Yingchun's mother, and the main object of Bodhisattva's blessing is also Yingchun.Mother Jia and others will think that as long as they treat Yingchun better, the Bodhisattva will forgive them who keep the reputation of Dragon Girl.
Mrs. Wang saw Zhang Cuihua's expression in her eyes. When she saw Jia Amnesty just now, she found that Zhang Cuihua's expression was wrong. She wished she could go up and cover this bitch's mouth.Fortunately, this bitch still knows the seriousness, and didn't say anything more annoying, but when Mrs. Wang was in love, Zhang Cuihua couldn't stay any longer.
Zhang Cuihua who didn't know that she was already on Mrs. Wang's blacklist, even if Jia Amnesty was tough, still asked to check other people's private treasuries with the people sent by Mrs. Wang—since Mrs. Wang believed that she was a thief, of course she Let Mrs. Wang know what a real thief is and what it means that a thief does not leave empty space.
The commotion here is so uproarious, is there any reason Jia's mother doesn't know?Not long after, Master Lai also brought a few women in charge, and also brought Jia Mu's words, that is, let Master Lai follow Mrs. Wang and Zhang Cuihua to check everyone's private treasury, and said that he had sent someone to invite Xing Madame.
Mrs. Wang knew that Mother Jia was dissatisfied with her work, and she tried her best to win over Zhang Cuihua, and she no longer refuted Lai everyone's words.
Can Zhang Cuihua let go of such a good opportunity?Every time she went to a private warehouse, she took advantage of the opportunity to check it herself, and put some things she took from others, and then she didn't open it herself, and let the inspectors find it out.
This time it became lively, Mrs. Wang's stuff was found in Mrs. Wang's private treasury, Mrs. Wang's stuff was in Aunt Zhao's treasury, and Jia Zheng's stuff was poured into Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun's private room.
Mrs. Xing felt refreshed when she saw it, and she pretended to be surprised and asked: "It's okay for others, Zhu'er and Yuan Chun are good boys, they wouldn't take things from the second master, right?"
Both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang didn't know what to say, and they didn't bother to count whether there was something missing in their private treasury. They just thought about how to cover up this shameful scandal in front of everyone.
As a qualified starter, Zhang Cuihua had a look of grievance and dissatisfaction: "I said why the second wife insisted on putting the name of the thief on my head. It turned out to be..." The thief shouted to let the four of them catch the thief. Although the words were not spoken, which person present could not hear them?
Mother Jia waved Zhang Cuihua away impatiently, patted the table and shouted to Mrs. Wang: "What a housewife, what a good child you have taught."
Mrs. Xing took the opportunity to say: "Lian'er is still young, may the old lady let me take her back to the East Courtyard for a few days?"
Mother Jia's old face turned red, but she did not agree to Mrs. Xing's request: "You should take it as a real thing for such an obvious framing." Mrs. Xing's smug smile successfully followed.
Even if Jia's mother decided the matter was framed, but the found things are still there, no matter how you look at it, Jia Zheng's family in the main courtyard has no face.Although Mother Jia didn't find all the lost things, she didn't want to make Mrs. Xing proud, so she sent Mrs. Xing back to the East Courtyard after a few words.
Hou led Mrs. Xing away, and Mrs. Wang, who was still kneeling, complained to Jia's mother: "Old lady, although I haven't seen any good things, I still have the heart to be filial to the old lady over the years. How can I be for a few things? I became a thief myself." As he spoke, he shed tears.
Mother Jia also knew that this thing was lost, and the way to find it was even more strange. After Madam Wang got up, she said suspiciously: "No matter how I think about it, I think this thing is too suspicious."
Mrs. Wang also nodded: "Accordingly, the old lady refuted the eldest lady's face for her last time, and allowed her to pray for Yingchun. She is also the first one among the aunts. Why is she so dissatisfied?" It refers to Zhang Cuihua.
"She can't do this alone." If Zhang Cuihua did it alone, it would be too scary.
Mrs. Wang's heart moved: "I also think that the old man came a little too fast just now." If Jia She was behind to help, it would make sense-everyone has rumored that Jia She has someone in his hands. Still some capable people.If those people do it in secret, it still makes sense.
But if someone in Jia Amnesty's hands really did it, Jiamu and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, and they both saw panic in each other's eyes: Zhang Cuihua's trouble was clearly to see Jiamu and Mrs. Wang being suspicious of each other.If Jia Amnesty really sent out manpower, why did he choose to do it at this time?
Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang in a deep voice: "Where is the crown prince, did your brother tell you what happened recently?"
Seeing that Zhang Cuihua had the land deed in hand, what she said was well-founded, and the doorman knew that this was indeed an owner's house, so he believed Zhang Cuihua's words.He has lived here for a long time, and he is very familiar with the situation of the servant who used to guard the house, so he had to defend him to Zhang Cuihua:
"Sister-in-law, don't wrong the old Luo who is in charge of the house. I heard from the old Luo that the master has not given money for envoys for three or four years. He is a slave and dare not go out to work by himself, so as not to sue the officials. Usually It’s because our wife is kind, let us give him something to eat.”
"Old Luo is a loyal man. He wondered if the master didn't believe me for so many years. Maybe something happened in the mansion. He only decided to return to Jinling half a year ago. Before he left, he told us that if the master's family came, we must replace him. He replied, he went back to Jinling, not escaped." After speaking, he looked at Zhang Cuihua and the others angrily, as if complaining that they came too late.
Zhang Cuihua nodded following his words: "I also heard people say that Lao Luo is an honest man, and I wondered if it was because of the courage raised in Beijing that he dared to run away regardless of his master's kindness. Even if he went back to Jinling, why? Didn't you see me before I came?"
Hearing what she said was serious, the door next door of course believed that she was sent by the old Luo Tou's family - this is the capital at the foot of the emperor, and it is also a place where rich and wealthy people gather in the eastern city. They all have some contacts, it takes a daring thief to pretend to be such a big house.
Menzi sighed and said, "My sister-in-law is also from Jinling herself. What else do you not know? From Beijing to Jinling, there is both land and water. If you have money, it will take more than a month. What's more, old Luotou I don’t have any money in my hand, and I don’t know how to ask for food all the way back.” The bigger possibility is that the people disappeared before Jinling.
Listening to this doorman's talk, Zhang Cuihua felt that the master next door should not be a difficult person to get along with. The so-called servant looks like a master. A servant who is so considerate of others, without the usual restraint and guidance of the master, would not be so unfair to guard the house for a neighbor.Because she politely thanked the door and said that she would wait for her house to be tidied up, she invited the door to come and sit down. After the master came, she would also return to Yun to visit her neighbors, and then she brought the two families she bought in. .
There was no place to stay in the house, so Zhang Cuihua stood and asked about the situation of the two families: a couple named Li, a couple in their 30s, and two sons, one sixteen and one fifteen, originally lived in Beijing. Zhaoyin's mansion is on errand.A few days ago, something bad happened to Jing Zhaoyin, and all the slaves in the mansion were sold by officials.The husband and wife didn't want to be separated from their son, so they bought Ren Yazi with the only scraps of silver left on them, and Zhang Cuihua's family bought them all today.
The other family's surname is Qian. The husband and wife have a daughter. They are not servants of the government, but people from a mountain village fifty or sixty miles away from the city. A few acres of land in the family have been taken by someone with power, and the family has no choice but to sell it themselves. itself.I also didn't want my family to be separated, so I didn't wait for a buyer.
"You only have one daughter?" Zhang Cuihua frowned when she heard the situation of the Qian family. This kind of situation is not common in the countryside. Usually, the daughter is sold. The husband and wife can have a way of life, and the whole family will not sell themselves together.
The Qian family was a little bit embarrassed and didn't dare to look up. Zhang Cuihua hummed: "If I don't tell the truth, I can buy you, or I can sell you. It's just that by then, I won't sell all of you. One place."
The man from the Qian family, Boss Qian, knelt down to Zhang Cuihua: "Master." Up to now, Zhang Cuihua has not told these people his name. His leg was broken, the doctor in the countryside can't cure it, and the cost of going to the city is too high, so we..."
Sympathy is impossible, so Zhang Cuihua only asked, "Where is your son now, and what are his plans for the future?"
Boss Qian burst into tears: "Now I'm living in the backyard of the hospital, my leg is healed, but in the future..." It's a blessing to be able to heal my leg. My family of three sold themselves, and I can only look after my son in the future. Take one step at a time.
But Zhang Cuihua had no choice but to guard against: "You have sold your body, and your whole body belongs to the master. If you still want to get involved with your son, I will not tolerate it here."
"Grandma," Mrs. Qian knelt down and wanted to hug Zhang Cuihua's leg, but she dodged it, and cried, "Grandma please be merciful, let me work for grandma after my son heals his leg."
It is more convenient for a commoner to walk outside than the slaves.Zhang Cuihua is a little tempted, but it depends on the age of Boss Qian. His son will not even reach the age of 20. If he will go in and out of the mansion frequently in the future, let alone something bad will spread. The whole Qian family is here at this time. Even if you have a bad heart, you have to guard against it.
Seeing Zhang Cuihua pondering, Boss Qian gritted his teeth: "If grandma is worried, you can let my son sign a contract of sale." As soon as he finished saying this, Boss Qian cried out: "My son is not bad at school, If you sign the deed of selling yourself, you will no longer be able to take the imperial examination."
Unexpectedly, Boss Qian’s family looks vulgar, and his son is still a seed for studying. Zhang Cuihua has some thoughts in his heart, but since he hasn’t seen anyone now, it’s hard to tell Boss Qian and his wife, let them get up, just wait for them Let's talk about it after the son has healed his leg.
Because the Li family used to be servants of the original Jingzhao Yin's mansion, and they should be more familiar with the affairs of Beijing than Boss Qian, who came from the mountains, Zhang Cuihua decided that Li Nian, a man from the Li family, would be in charge temporarily, and asked them to work within three days. Clean up the place where you live and the place where the fire broke out.Leaving 20 taels of silver for Li Nian to buy clothes and bedding for several people, Zhang Cuihua asked Boss Qian to go out and hire a car, and returned to the East Courtyard from the corner gate.
The harvest of this trip was not small, and Zhang Cuihua was in a good mood, so she took the initiative to pay Mrs. Xing the next day.As soon as he entered the main courtyard, he heard Yingchun crying. He didn't know how long he had been crying. It sounded like his voice was hoarse.
Zhang Cuihua hurriedly searched with her soul power, and found that Madam Chen, who was replaced by Mrs. Xing to replace Mrs. Wang, was patting Yingchun, and her mouth was not clean: "Crying, I know howling every day, crying when I wake up, crying when I'm hungry, and crying when I'm tired. I will be scolded." After speaking, he slapped Yingchun's ass.
The child has no endurance, so naturally he cries louder and his voice becomes hoarse.Wang Shanbao's family came out of the main room, and shouted towards the west wing: "Zhou family, why is it your turn to serve the girl, she can't stop crying, why don't you coax her."
That week's family member was the most gluttonous and lazy. When she heard Wang Shanbao's family scolding her, she didn't dare to speak back, so she hit the child again, which made the child cry even louder as if being pricked by a needle.
Zhang Cuihua quickly walked to the door of the west wing room, raised her hand and opened the curtain heavily, snatched the child from the Zhou family's arms, and kicked her to the ground: "You slap the child one by one. Blame the child for crying, do you know it hurts when I kick you?"
Wang Shanbao's family had seen Zhang Cuihua enter the main courtyard earlier, so they didn't want to talk to her, but who knew that she didn't greet Mrs. Xing, but went to the west wing instead, how could Wang Shanbao's family bear it?
When Zhang Cuihua broke the Zhou family's behavior, Wang Shanbao's family also felt ashamed for a while, and scolded the Zhou family.Zhang Cuihua didn't want to endure it, and carried Yingchun to the main room, and didn't greet Mrs. Xing, and asked her directly: "Madam said she wanted to borrow a girl to recruit a man, but I am an aunt and dare not reject it, send the girl well." Go to the wife's yard. But if you treat girls like this, let alone boys, I'm afraid you won't be able to recruit girls."
Before Mrs. Xing got angry, Wang Shanbao's family came to Mrs. Xing's ear and told Mrs. Xing what the Zhou family had done just now. Madam Xing wanted to curse but couldn't find a reason, so she had to call the Zhou family over to vent her anger.
Zhang Cuihua managed to find an excuse, she had to raise Yingchun by herself, Mrs. Xing was unwilling, and neither of the two would give in when they came and went.When Jia Amnesty came back, what he saw was the quarrel between his wife and concubine.
"You guys are fighting with geese every day, don't you have nothing to do?" Jia She also had a headache: "Mr. Zhang, you dare to yell at the mistress, don't you want to stay in the mansion?"
Zhang Cuihua echoed: "Master, why didn't you ask me why I was arguing with my wife? A good child is allowed to be rubbed by Nanny Chen, why doesn't a mother like me feel distressed."
Mrs. Xing stepped forward and wanted to tell the difference for herself. Jia Amnesty was a scumbag, so she could see Zhang Cuihua's utter fearlessness. Just raise it, and you will take care of all the children yourself." An aunt who didn't even look down on the master and turned against her.
"Master, Yingchun is the master's own daughter." That's all Zhang Cuihua said.
Mrs. Xing felt complacent, and felt that she, the wife of the wife, had won: how much is an aunt's role?The proportion of the girl is more than twice that of the aunt.Everyone in the mansion got their quotas from the main courtyard together. Aunt Zhang issued the quotas for Yingchun herself, and the quota for Yingchun naturally fell into her hands.
Jia Amnesty also yelled at Zhang Cuihua: "Because Yingchun is the master's own daughter, don't raise her like a petty child, and don't raise her like a flower girl. She must not be short of what other girls in the house have. "
All right, Zhang Cuihua took a deep breath, told herself that the house in the east city hadn't been tidied up yet, and she had to endure it for another two days, so she thought of tidying up the spring things in the west wing.Jia Amnesty didn't even allow this, thinking to use this to make Zhang Cuihua soften.Unexpectedly, Zhang Cuihua left with Yingchun in her arms, and kicked the Zhou family who wanted to follow. Jia She and Mrs. Xing who kicked were dumbfounded, and forgot to scold her for being presumptuous.
In the evening, Wang Lai's family returned to Zhang Cuihua's yard, and told Zhang Cuihua that she was squeezed out by Zhou's family everywhere in the west wing of the main courtyard, and she couldn't get close to the girl and other things.Zhang Cuihua couldn't find anyone else to vent her anger, so she blamed Jia Amnesty on the matter.
Wanting revenge on Jia She is more convenient than others.In her life as Mrs. Zhang, although she didn't know where Jia She's private house was hidden, but Jia She also put a lot of good things in the outer study, and Zhang Cuihua knew about it.
In the dead of night, Zhang Cuihua quietly blocked the five senses of the people in the yard, avoided the night watchmen all the way, and came to Jia Shen's study outside without hindrance.I still thought in my heart, after I moved to the house, I must buy more night watchmen, and let them patrol carefully, like Rongguo Mansion's night watchman is so perfunctory, and even ten locks in the warehouse have to be stolen.
Jia Amnesty didn't know which common house he stayed that night, the doorkeeper in the study outside was snoring loudly, Zhang Cuihua walked past the boy without avoiding his figure, and the boy didn't wake up.
The study room was dark, Zhang Cuihua pushed the door lightly and went in, but there was no one in sight.Although he didn't dare to light the lamp, but the soul power is a good thing, and after a while he found the place where Jia She put the banknote and land deed.
Zhang Cuihua stretched out her hand, thinking to herself: You said that Yingchun is your own daughter, so preparing a dowry for Yingchun is also the duty of a father, right?
In order to prevent Jia Amnesty from discovering the missing things too quickly, Zhang Cuihua did not sweep away the ornaments, jades, etc., but focused on taking care of the banknotes - she knew Jia Amnesty's habit, when she could go to the office to pay the money, Never use your private possessions.Now that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang still lacked the confidence to run the family, Jia Amnesty went to the public to pay money.
This trip to Jia She's study made Zhang Cuihua open the door to a new world. Anyway, Rongguo Mansion's money will be emptied by the Grand View Garden in the end. The same girl from Rongguo Mansion, who gets flowers in Yuanchun, why can't Yingchun spend?
From this day on, Zhang Cuihua walked around the Rongguo Mansion from time to time late at night, looking for private houses hidden by the masters, and visited her own house from time to time during the day to supervise the progress of the repairs.Seeing that Li Nian had already cleaned up his head as soon as he entered the floor in less than two days, but he only used one room for his family, he felt that it was still a rule, and he became more generous when he went out to collect the bank notes.
Li Nian looked at the 500 taels of silver bills in his hand, and couldn't believe that his master trusted him so much—with these money, he could buy more than ten acres of good land when he took his family to the countryside , and built another house, which has been on and off for a lifetime—he said to Zhang Cuihua with some hesitation: "Master, you want to repair the house. Many craftsmen are eager to take on such a big job. Usually after receiving the fixed money, wait for the master to look at it." If you are satisfied with the repairs, you can collect the rest of the money."
Zhang Cuihua smiled and said, "This is the fixed money that I asked you to give."
What? 500 taels of fixed silver, who must live in the repaired house? Li Wang and Boss Qian looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that his new master might be of high status.
As for living in the East City despite having a high status in the West City, both Li Nian and Boss Qian had a guess in their hearts: the two times they dealt with were the female masters, and the male masters had their own reasons for not coming forward.
What's the point?Do you need to guess? As a slave, I just need to do what my master told me to do.Li Nian, who had money in hand, vowed to Zhang Cuihua to rest assured that within a month, the house would be refurbished to look like new.
For this progress, Zhang Cuihua thinks it is acceptable - she has gained a lot in the past two nights, and in a month, she can find a few more places to hide money in Rongguo Mansion.
However, she also asked Li Nian to go to the market from time to time, and she wanted to buy a few more servants to come back to protect the courtyard. She also specially asked Li Nian to raise the courtyard wall as high as possible.The master has an order, Li Nian just nods yes, and Zhang Cuihua can return to Rongguo Mansion with peace of mind.
Just walked into her yard, quietly sealed the five senses of Dicui and others, and untied it when she returned to her room, Zhang Cuihua walked out of the room as if she was tired of copying scriptures: "What's the matter?" asked It is Dicui.
"Someone came from the second wife just now, saying that something was lost in the mansion. I was afraid that everyone would push me and push yours. It would not look good, so I asked people to search everywhere. I have searched all over here, and found something." Dicui said, keeping looking at Zhang Cuihua, trying to read something from her face.
Zhang Cuihua knew what she was wondering about: the people sent by Mrs. Wang must be very powerful, but she, the copyist, didn't respond at all. Who would believe it if she said it wasn't just pretending?
"What does the wife say? Did the people sent by the second wife only search your house, or did they also search other people's houses?" Zhang Cuihua frowned, not caring about Di Cui's inquisitive expression.Even if this girl wanted to go out of her way, she couldn't imagine that she was not in the room just now.
The wife she asked was of course Mrs. Xing, and Di Cui's answer was a little evasive: "When those people came, they said they wanted to search the house, but they didn't say what the wife had ordered. After they searched, the house was in a mess, slave We were only focused on cleaning the house and didn't pay attention to..."
Who is this sloppy looking for?Zhang Cuihua took a deep look at Di Cui, turned around and walked out. Di Cui trot followed in fright, and kept persuading Zhang Cuihua to return to her yard.
However, Di Cui understood how she was assigned to Zhang Cuihua's yard, and she didn't dare to ask others to stop Zhang Cuihua like Ming Cui, so she could only make a small noise to show her affection and reason.Can Zhang Cuihua listen to her?
Oh, other people's yards are not searched, only her yard is searched, which means she is a thief.Yes, Zhang Cuihua may have taken the lost things Mrs. Wang said in the past two nights, but Zhang Cuihua can guarantee that no one found out when she took them.
Now that these people are going to search her yard for stolen goods, they are still sent by Mrs. Wang. If they continue like this, the next time they can't say that they will search the house of the maids, but the room of her aunt who has a certificate. up.Do you really think that this is more than ten years later, when the Grand View Garden was raided, there were all girls eating while looking at Mrs. Wang's face?
Zhang Cuihua is also a certificate holder.
Besides, these days Zhang Cuihua has to go out of the mansion from time to time to see the progress of the renovation of the new house. Those people are really used to walking around. When she is not around, they break into their own house. Doesn't the fact that Zhang Cuihua is not in the mansion be exposed?
So today Zhang Cuihua must discuss an explanation.
When Mrs. Xing heard that Zhang Cuihua was coming, she also acted as if she was facing an enemy. It might be a bit embarrassing to say it, but Mrs. Xing failed to please Zhang Cuihua several times, so she had to be serious when facing her.
"Ma'am," Zhang Cuihua saluted Mrs. Xing, and explained her intention of coming straight to the point: "Madam, please make the decision for me. I am also the master's concubine who is fair and righteous. Now I am regarded as a thief. If you tell me about it, the master will be fine." Become a nest owner? How can people see the master?"
Mrs. Xing is very clear about this matter. There are several things missing in the main courtyard. She heard about it when she went to pay her respects to Mrs. Jia. Xiang, isn't it Mrs. Wang who begged the old lady for her?The aunt of the first room is getting close to the wife of the second room, so ask the second wife's people to search Zhang Cuihua's yard to see if they can't get along.
So Mrs. Xing looked embarrassed and said that she had lost things in her room several times before the main courtyard.When she said this, it immediately made people think that the person who stole something had tasted the sweetness in the East Courtyard, and then extended his hand to the Main Courtyard.
Mrs. Wang wasn't the only one who lost things, Zhang Cuihua didn't miss Jia Mu's place either.So the one who asked Mrs. Xing became Mother Jia, who not only asked Mrs. Xing when she lost her things, but also asked Mrs. Xing why she didn't check, and asked Mrs. Xing if she had anyone to suspect.
At this time, Mrs. Xing slowly expressed her doubts about Zhang Cuihua: "As long as she goes to pay her respects, all the things in my house will be gone. If she doesn't come for a few days, it will be quieter. It's also very annoying. I checked quietly, but nothing was found in the house. The old lady knows that she and I already have a relationship... so it's not good to make a big investigation to the end, lest people think that I can't tolerate an aunt. "
Hearing the things Mrs. Xing said, the corners of the mouths of Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang twitched: Mrs. Xing's lost things were not small. It's gone if you don't make a mistake, who believes it?
But this is the only clue now.Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang to check quietly. Mrs. Wang still wanted to win over Zhang Cuihua, but she felt that she couldn't check Zhang Cuihua's room as soon as she came up. What's more, I still know quite clearly.
If the search is done with great fanfare, but nothing can be found, Zhang Cuihua is nothing to be afraid of. An aunt, even an aunt who has a concubine certificate, is not afraid of her being turned upside down.But behind Zhang Cuihua is Jia She.
This is the one who is not stingy, and if it happens, the old lady has to be softer.
Mrs. Xing seemed to know Mrs. Wang's concerns, and she casually mentioned that Jia She had asked Zhang Cuihua to issue the Spring Festival order a few days ago, which made people feel that Zhang Cuihua might be in a tight spot, which accelerated the pace of stealing things— ——To be able to confirm Zhang Cuihua's reputation as a thief is more attractive to Mrs. Xing than the fact that she can get it.
However, Mrs. Wang still didn't ask people to check Zhang Cuihua's house directly. She just took advantage of the opportunity when Zhang Cuihua was concentrating on "copying scriptures", and Dicui opened Zhang Cuihua's private warehouse to see if the lost things were hidden in it.
Nature is nothing.Those who checked things even felt that Zhang Cuihua's private treasury was a bit too shabby.But no one will say that.
The people who checked didn’t say anything, but Zhang Cuihua wanted to say, “I can’t keep the rats in my private treasury. It’s hard for those people to search for such a long time. I’m going to ask if other people’s private treasuries are also checked. Now, have you found anything? Why should I only check on me, and everyone should check together to understand."
Dicui's face turned pale. Auntie didn't ask about her private treasury just now, so it turned out that she heard it in the house.
Mrs. Xing was displeased when Zhang Cuihua ran in front of her again to make trouble, and she had an impatient look on her face: "It's not mine who is checking you, you can go talk to the second wife yourself."
What Zhang Cuihua was waiting for was her words. She turned around and walked out, rubbing her eyes vigorously with a veil, and crying, "I can't live through this day. I've been named a thief." Forget it, who told me to be an aunt, but it will not work if it hurts the girl's reputation."
The more Xu Shi thought about it, the more he felt that he would bring Yingchun's reputation down. Zhang Cuihua felt sad and cried all the way like the sky was falling.She didn't ask anyone to prepare a car, she just howled at the moon gate between the East Courtyard and Rongguo Mansion, and the servants she attracted didn't care whether they were on business or not, they all looked around to watch the excitement.
Mrs. Wang got a report from someone, and secretly hated Zhang Cuihua for not knowing how to praise her. She had asked the searchers to only check her girl and private treasury, but not the room where she lived. .Just this piece of Cuihua is still making trouble. Is it because I feel that I have given birth to a daughter with good luck, so I don’t know the heights of the heavens and the earth?
A little aunt dared to refute her face, who gave her the courage?But Mrs. Wang still had to take people to the Moon Gate—in any case, this was also an errand assigned to her by Mother Jia. Now that she was being quarreled with, as the head wife, she had to deal with it easily.
At this time, Zhang Cuihua had gathered around many people, and she was crying and asking everyone to comment, and she described herself as a prosperous white lotus: "I know that I can't get on the stage, so I don't dare to go to the main courtyard for nothing to get in the way." People's eyes. I haven't even been to the main courtyard, why do I have to check my yard if I lose something, who saw me stealing something?"
"Okay, I'm still the aunt of the old man. If I make a mistake, I should be disciplined by the old man or the eldest wife. Who knows that it was the second wife who came to search my yard. I have never heard of the little aunt. Stretched into the uncle's house."
"Rongguo Mansion has always been strict in rules, and the wife should be fair. Who knows, everyone will watch people order dishes, and the private treasury of the people in their own room will not be searched. They only dare to attack those of us who are not in the public eye."
"Ma'am, you are the one who went early, let the servants be bullied and have not said a word of justice for the servants, and some people regard your good rules as decorations..." Seeing Mrs. Wang approaching, Zhang Cuihua cried louder.
Mrs. Wang wanted to spit out old blood—she knew that the lady Zhang Cuihua called was the dead Mrs. Zhang, not Mrs. Xing who lived in the main room of the East Courtyard.How much she looks down on Mrs. Xing now, how much she feared Mrs. Zhang back then.
In front of Mrs. Xing, Zhang Cuihua has never called herself a slave, even in front of her, the head wife, Zhang Cuihua holds a concubine document and calls herself "I".
Now that Zhang Cuihua kept saying that someone broke the rules set by Mrs. Zhang, do I need to ask who that person is?Besides, the little aunt stretched her hand into the uncle's room, said such words casually?
"Ms. Zhang!" Mrs. Wang's voice overlapped with someone else's voice called Zhang Cuihua.Zhang Cuihua noticed that there were two voices, one was inside the moon gate, the other was outside the moon gate, a female voice and a male voice.
The female voice is Mrs. Wang, while the male voice is Jia She.
These two people really have a tacit understanding.Zhang Cuihua thought badly, but ignored Mrs. Wang's voice, instead she turned to look at Jia She, who rushed over angrily, with a little surprise and disbelief in her red eyes: "Master, please make the decision for me .” Then he started to cry again.
Jia Amnesty looked at her red and swollen eyes, and felt that he thought it was a docile person at the beginning, it must be an illusion, or why the incidents that have been stirred up now are getting bigger and bigger, and the whole family knows about it every now and then?
"Go back to your yard and think about the past!" Jia She glared at Zhang Cuihua.
Mrs. Wang hastily greeted Jia She, because Zhang Cuihua was still a little uncomfortable with what she said just now, and wanted to tell Jia She that she had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the big house, but Zhang Cuihua refused to give her this opportunity:
"My lord, if something is lost in the main courtyard, it's reasonable to search everywhere. But I was found on someone who hadn't been to the main courtyard three times, and only my own courtyard was searched. Everyone in Dafang is considered a thief."
"Today I can check my yard, tomorrow I can check my wife's, and the day after tomorrow I should check the master's study." Do you dare to let someone check your study?
Jia Amnesty's face was even more gloomy and frightening. I don't know if it was because Zhang Cuihua didn't listen to him and went back to the yard to think about it, or he listened to Zhang Cuihua's provocation.
Mrs. Wang knew that Zhang Cuihua could not speak again, and said anxiously to Jia Amnesty, "My lord, it's not that my people only searched Aunt Zhang's yard alone. In fact, the eldest lady also said that something in her room was missing. It’s as silent as if there was nothing in the main courtyard, but the things I lost several times were all after Aunt Zhang asked for peace, so I asked someone to check Aunt Zhang’s private treasury.” The words are from your wife in the main house, and you need to find Please go to Mrs. Xing for trouble.
"Second wife's words sound ridiculous to me. My wife lost something because I went to pay her respects. My wife didn't have it. My wife asked me to check my things. Our master has been asking me to take care of the girl these days, and I have to copy Jing, did not go to the main courtyard to say hello, why does the second wife want to check my private treasury?"
Mrs. Wang was unable to answer the questions, so she had to apologize to Jia She.Jia Amnesty glanced at Zhang Cuihua, and said coldly, "Why don't you go back to your yard?"
Zhang Cuihua snorted resentfully, and said to Jia Amnesty: "If I go back to my own yard now, people will only think that I have recognized the name of a thief. I am a young man, but I have stained my wife's name. I am a wife and don't know anyone. The girl I used in my hand turned out to be a thief, but how can my wife..."
Hearing that she mentioned Mrs. Zhang again, neither Jia She nor Mrs. Wang looked even better.In front of Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to say: "Aunt Zhang, it's just an investigation to get rid of doubts. It's not just you, but you are the only decent person over there. Only after you are investigated can you investigate others. .”
These words are really level, but Zhang Cuihua can't get rid of it in a few words: "Since the second wife said that she wants to investigate others, I want to see if the second wife is as stern as the investigation."
Mrs. Wang choked again, she said this just to fool Zhang Cuihua away, but who knows that this is a person who doesn't like oil and salt.He couldn't help but glance at Jia Amnesty, wanting to see if Zhang Cuihua was black when he was close to ink.
Zhang Cuihua wanted to use this glance to make a fuss again, but Jia She seemed to see through her intention and coughed.Zhang Cuihua just woke up, and she is very happy to say it now, but if the servants onlookers listen to it, maybe there will be some things that Jia She and Mrs. Wang have to say.
It is not a good word for Rongguo Mansion's reputation.If there is a half-word spread out of the mansion, the reputation of Rongguo mansion will be bad, and Jia Mu and other people in power may abandon their cars to protect the handsome.
That car must belong to Zhang Cuihua.If she was directly destroyed humanely, Mother Jia would not even frown—Dragon Girl is Yingchun, not Yingchun's mother, and the main object of Bodhisattva's blessing is also Yingchun.Mother Jia and others will think that as long as they treat Yingchun better, the Bodhisattva will forgive them who keep the reputation of Dragon Girl.
Mrs. Wang saw Zhang Cuihua's expression in her eyes. When she saw Jia Amnesty just now, she found that Zhang Cuihua's expression was wrong. She wished she could go up and cover this bitch's mouth.Fortunately, this bitch still knows the seriousness, and didn't say anything more annoying, but when Mrs. Wang was in love, Zhang Cuihua couldn't stay any longer.
Zhang Cuihua who didn't know that she was already on Mrs. Wang's blacklist, even if Jia Amnesty was tough, still asked to check other people's private treasuries with the people sent by Mrs. Wang—since Mrs. Wang believed that she was a thief, of course she Let Mrs. Wang know what a real thief is and what it means that a thief does not leave empty space.
The commotion here is so uproarious, is there any reason Jia's mother doesn't know?Not long after, Master Lai also brought a few women in charge, and also brought Jia Mu's words, that is, let Master Lai follow Mrs. Wang and Zhang Cuihua to check everyone's private treasury, and said that he had sent someone to invite Xing Madame.
Mrs. Wang knew that Mother Jia was dissatisfied with her work, and she tried her best to win over Zhang Cuihua, and she no longer refuted Lai everyone's words.
Can Zhang Cuihua let go of such a good opportunity?Every time she went to a private warehouse, she took advantage of the opportunity to check it herself, and put some things she took from others, and then she didn't open it herself, and let the inspectors find it out.
This time it became lively, Mrs. Wang's stuff was found in Mrs. Wang's private treasury, Mrs. Wang's stuff was in Aunt Zhao's treasury, and Jia Zheng's stuff was poured into Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun's private room.
Mrs. Xing felt refreshed when she saw it, and she pretended to be surprised and asked: "It's okay for others, Zhu'er and Yuan Chun are good boys, they wouldn't take things from the second master, right?"
Both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang didn't know what to say, and they didn't bother to count whether there was something missing in their private treasury. They just thought about how to cover up this shameful scandal in front of everyone.
As a qualified starter, Zhang Cuihua had a look of grievance and dissatisfaction: "I said why the second wife insisted on putting the name of the thief on my head. It turned out to be..." The thief shouted to let the four of them catch the thief. Although the words were not spoken, which person present could not hear them?
Mother Jia waved Zhang Cuihua away impatiently, patted the table and shouted to Mrs. Wang: "What a housewife, what a good child you have taught."
Mrs. Xing took the opportunity to say: "Lian'er is still young, may the old lady let me take her back to the East Courtyard for a few days?"
Mother Jia's old face turned red, but she did not agree to Mrs. Xing's request: "You should take it as a real thing for such an obvious framing." Mrs. Xing's smug smile successfully followed.
Even if Jia's mother decided the matter was framed, but the found things are still there, no matter how you look at it, Jia Zheng's family in the main courtyard has no face.Although Mother Jia didn't find all the lost things, she didn't want to make Mrs. Xing proud, so she sent Mrs. Xing back to the East Courtyard after a few words.
Hou led Mrs. Xing away, and Mrs. Wang, who was still kneeling, complained to Jia's mother: "Old lady, although I haven't seen any good things, I still have the heart to be filial to the old lady over the years. How can I be for a few things? I became a thief myself." As he spoke, he shed tears.
Mother Jia also knew that this thing was lost, and the way to find it was even more strange. After Madam Wang got up, she said suspiciously: "No matter how I think about it, I think this thing is too suspicious."
Mrs. Wang also nodded: "Accordingly, the old lady refuted the eldest lady's face for her last time, and allowed her to pray for Yingchun. She is also the first one among the aunts. Why is she so dissatisfied?" It refers to Zhang Cuihua.
"She can't do this alone." If Zhang Cuihua did it alone, it would be too scary.
Mrs. Wang's heart moved: "I also think that the old man came a little too fast just now." If Jia She was behind to help, it would make sense-everyone has rumored that Jia She has someone in his hands. Still some capable people.If those people do it in secret, it still makes sense.
But if someone in Jia Amnesty's hands really did it, Jiamu and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, and they both saw panic in each other's eyes: Zhang Cuihua's trouble was clearly to see Jiamu and Mrs. Wang being suspicious of each other.If Jia Amnesty really sent out manpower, why did he choose to do it at this time?
Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang in a deep voice: "Where is the crown prince, did your brother tell you what happened recently?"
