Because Xu Wen and his wife are about to leave for Shandong, these days, Lamei, who has made a lot of money by secretly lending money, is a person who can speak well and is good at flattery, and often buys good things to honor his wife Wang.

It is to take her as a confidant Wang to promote her as a concubine, Lamei as a widow has long had a leg with Xu Wen, Xu Wen has an indifferent attitude towards this, Wang deliberately chose the day of her birthday, which can be regarded as a joy.

At this time, it is the relatives and friends who are paying their birthdays, and the officials and their daughters are coming one after another, where can Xu Hai be busy returning gifts outside? Brought Xu Jiang, Xu Rong and other brothers to deal with it together.

The wives of the inner house came more, Wang Xuanqing took the Zhong family around to socialize, and the Wang family sat in the main room and talked to the female guests.

Seeing that the hour was not early, Wang ordered Geng to take his new daughter-in-law to visit several lords and uncles, and Lamei came all the way to kowtow to Xu Qingtang and Xu Zengfu.

came out and went into the inner house to kowtow to Xu Hao and his wife to offer tea, Xu Hao said meaningfully: "I never thought that you would be a brother and sister for me, I hope you will keep your duty in the future, I will not treat you badly, go." ”

Geng's watched coldly, Lamei agreed in a low voice, resigned together, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and asked with a smile: "Sister Lamei, are you a guest now?" In the future, you will have to stand up for the rules. ”

Lamei said with a smile: "Who knew that Lu Dao fell into the wife's position, and he had to be a concubine for the uncle." I have a saying that in the future, I must support my grandmother to take care of the eldest young master outside, and he is not allowed to run around, looking for flowers and willows. ”

Xu Jiang, who came to hear the news, said with a smile: "I haven't seen the wife of the church and started to take care of men." ”

Geng Shi smiled and Lamei smiled and took a sip of him. Zhiyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where did you learn to be flamboyant?" What a wife and man's mix. ”

Returning the same way, I met the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper Wang Jin's sister-in-law and the housekeeper Laishun, Wang Jin's daughter-in-law and the three of them came with a smile and said: "The ancestor instructed the wife, she has already paid a birthday and toasted, and the little grandmother does not need to go over, send the three of us to serve and go to the new house to open our faces, change into auspicious clothes, and then go out to take care of the guests." ”

As he spoke. While walking towards the new house. I saw Zhong and Yuelan hurriedly running over and said, "Mrs. is still in Jieshoutang, and the ancestor went to Fuchun Pavilion, and the second wife has been sent to bring the third young grandmother, Miss Yushi, and the fifth lady in Jingfutang; The third wife took the fourth grandmother in Qiushuitang. Asked the two little grandmothers to follow the ancestors with the second girl, the third girl, and the fourth girl in Fuchun Pavilion. Aunt Xiao and several uncles and wives are at Yee On Hall. The guests are full. Tell him to open his face and go quickly. ”

Zhou Guanjia said slightly unhappily: "It is also necessary to make people in time." ”

Xu Jiang said with a smile: "According to me, you don't have to bother, just stir your eyebrows and open your sideburns first, and keep the rest to open it slowly." It's a few mustaches on Sister Lamei's mouth. Gotta remove it for her. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Lamei scolded with a smile: "Xu Jiang, are you just going to get along with me today?" Saying that, he came over and asked him to pull his ears, Xu Jiang made a grimace and ran away.

Xiao Jin's sister-in-law smiled: "Uncle Wearing a phoenix crown, this is the first time I've seen it." ”

But it was said that it was lively all day, and in the evening Wang Xuanqing came to Jiangxuezhai with a blue face, Xu Hao said in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

Mu Ningxue hurriedly asked her second sister-in-law to sit down beside her, and Wang Xuanqing said angrily: "Since I moved over, I am my housekeeper on the surface, but in fact, I can't intervene in anything, but I came to complain about me when something happened. ”

The big girl said aggrievedly: "The three golden cups of Yi'an Hall were stolen, and the three embroidered chairs of Jieshoutang were missing, and the big Arhat full of Hongchang fossils was missing; On the treasure cabinet of the Fog Shadow Mountain House in the garden, a Bodhisattva with mutton fat and jade was missing, and a crimson plate was broken; In the lovely grandmother's room in the north courtyard, a golden hairpin, a gold-inlaid wind vine bracelet, and a peach blossom sweat towel were missing. I don't know where I can't see anything, just now I went to the Hanging Flower Gate to report to my wife's henchman Zhou's sister-in-law, and they said funny: 'Who told you to take care of it carelessly?' There are seven or eight hundred girls, sisters-in-law, and mothers who are coming with me today, and who will ask for it? and if he is not found somewhere, he shall be compensated by those who are sent there. ’”

Wang Xuanqing smiled bitterly: "Yi'an Hall is the two pipe furnishings of her and Du Juan, Jieshoutang is Yueji and Jixiang, and the Fog Shadow Mountain House is one of Liao's sister-in-law in the embroidery department, only the younger brother and sister have no one in the house today, the door is closed, who will break in and steal something?" ”

Du Juan's face flushed anxiously, and said, "Third Young Master, what do you want to do about this?" Isn't this a life that is about to die in a hurry? I don't know whose family came with such a shameless thief wife, it's really a thief whore, a thief bitch, and it's a shame to take her out and beat her in the world. ”

At the moment, Du Juan and a few mothers-in-law only cared about scolding, and Peony and a few maids and sisters-in-law were stunned and couldn't think of any ideas.

"Stop scolding." Xu Hao understood that they were anxious and open-mouthed, didn't care, and said with a smile: "According to my meaning, if you ask them to take it, forget it, and the right to break the wealth and avoid disasters." ”

"How can it be done, after all, you have to compensate for losing something." Peony pouted and said: "Our compensation cup is still limited, Sister-in-law Wang and Sister-in-law Dajin are in the class here, no one can hide if something happens, and there is no need for the little girls to pay for it, four people in a group, each of them will take out dozens of taels of silver." It's the moon season auspicious and the two of them are really going to die in a hurry, that Arhat is the wife's most beloved, what compensation do you get? There is also Liao's sister-in-law's mutton fat jade bodhisattva, can she afford it herself? It's Grandma Zhong's idea, it's nothing. ”

The cuckoo said: "Just now, I saw that the two of her were going to die in a hurry tonight. ”

Mu Ningxue frowned and thought about this matter, Xu Hao thought about it and pointed with his hand casually: "It seems that this matter should be on them." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhi Qingqing and other maids who came over suddenly opened their apricot eyes, and their willow eyebrows rose upside down, and the maids and sisters-in-law in Xiao and the old lady's house were all red and annoyed, and said gossipsily: "What did the third young master say about us?" Once upon a time, something like this happened here? Who would be so shameless and cause their own master to come out and be embarrassed? ”

Zhang Hai, who was planning to stay overnight tonight, encountered this kind of thing for the first time in his life, and cried with tears in his eyes, and choked up: "Third brother." You're getting better and better, and you're treating us like thieves. ”

Xu Hao didn't expect the little girl to be so thin-skinned, so she walked over to hug her and said with a smile: "It seems that if you ignore family affairs for a long time, you won't believe me." Okay, okay, I apologize to you. ”

Zhang Hai said cautiously: "You are the one who is wronged and the thief, and you are the one who accompanies others, it is really disgusting!" Sister-in-law, you don't care. ”

Mu Ningxue said with a smile: "Our hairpin seems to have grown up, let alone your brother, this little daughter's style." We big guys are distressed when they see it. ”

Xu Hao looked at Zhang Hai, who blushed and stomped his feet. He smiled secretly in his heart and said: "It's just that I like to play with it for a while, it's not stealing, you shouted that something was stolen." Don't you know that people originally wanted to return it quietly. I felt ashamed on my face. If he refuses to take it out, the matter ends here. ”

The cuckoo opened his mouth wide in surprise and said hatefully: "If this is the eldest grandmother." I had to find out that the thief raised the man's wife and tore the thief's hooves alive. ”

"Alright." Xu Hao frowned and said, "It's all gone." ”

No one thought that the third young master would be so inappropriate, but it is also in line with his style, and it is really not worth mentioning that others treat it as a treasure here.

Zhang Chai was curious and followed him to the next door, and saw that Yueji and Jixiang's faces changed color, and they talked with the people here.

As Zhiqing who came over asked everyone to go back to rest, Yueji hurriedly said: "If my sister finds it out for us, you are my own mother." ”

Zhiqing said unhurriedly: "You two don't have to worry, there are orders from the third young master horizontally, and it doesn't matter if the sky falls." ”

Yueji said: "We have grown up together since we were children, and a few days ago I saw him come in and sit down, who knew that he smiled and left directly, as if we were going to pull him to borrow how much silver." Looking down on us poor friends, let alone in the future, we will no longer be able to see us in our eyes. ”

"What nonsense." Qingwen sounded angry and funny, "You really want to open your mouth to him, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver, every time you come to Jiangxuezhai, don't the young master personally accompany you?" There are a lot of friends in this family, how can you meet and chat for a long time? ”

But said that Zhiqing and Qingwen came back after stabilizing the people in the long room, and immediately secretly summoned twenty or thirty fine and capable maids in each room, Zhang Chai sat aside and listened curiously, and saw Qingwen said: "There are things lost over there, and they all suspect that the people we came with us stole them, if this matter is not investigated for them, everyone has a thief on their backs, and they can no longer be cleaned, not only do we see no one, but even the young master and wife have no face." Tonight, the big guy worked hard, went separately to investigate, it stands to reason that the guests who came all have heads and faces, and the people below have decent and identity, and they don't dare to steal things and take them out. ”

Twenty or thirty girls immediately began to discuss, and they all moved when they spoke, and Zhiqing was very happy when she saw that they were angry.

Suddenly, there was a little girl named Luan'er, and said: "Jieshoutang's things, I want to make a shadow, Sister Qingwen, you give me five taels of silver, and I'll go to a place to buy a thread and I'll know it." ”

Another maid next to Xu Cuiliu Cailian said: "Give me five taels too, I also came up with a line, which should have something to do with mutton fat jade." ”

The relationship in a big family has always been intertwined, everyone is connected to relatives, and there is no impermeable wall at all, so Xu Hao doesn't need to use the men in the outer house, it is enough to have Zhiqing and Qingwen to worry about.

At that moment, Zhiqing everyone divided five taels of bills, and told each other again and again, and the girls dispersed after agreeing.

At the same time, Xu Cuiyun ordered her mother-in-law to tie Liu Zhi to the bench, and beat her ass with a wooden stick, beating Liu Zhi to the point of crying dad and mother.

The more she shouted Xu Cuiyun, the more disgusted she was with her husband, and scolded: "Don't think that no one knows the good things you do, if you don't make it clear, I will imprison you for one day, and if you don't recruit for ten days, I will imprison you for ten days." ”

How dare Liu Zhi tell all the romantic debts of the past? Is that going to be fatal? shouted: "You are my grandmother, my ancestor, have mercy on me, from now on I will definitely change my past mistakes and never leave you half a step again." ”

Xu Cuiyun sneered: "If you don't say it, you won't say it, it's best not to say a word." ”

Instructed the maid to take a pile of lake pens in the study, picked five thick pipes, burned them red with a fire chopstick, drilled the upper and lower eyes, put on a rope to make a finger, and asked the mother-in-law to put Liu Zhi's hands on it, and clamped it hard to make him confess, only to make a few maids and mothers-in-law look frightened.
