When Wen Heng went to Lin Kai's house in Anle Fang by the city gate, no one answered the door, and he wanted to ask his neighbors, but no one answered the door.

After waiting for a while, I saw everyone walking back from outside with Lin Kai's beautiful wife, she was surrounded in the middle crying, and most of her oblique fallen horse bun was scattered and she didn't realize it, only crying silently.

Seeing Lin Kai left and right, Wen Heng was full of suspicion, and then stepped forward to inquire about the details.

The wife of Lin, whose surname was Feng Xian'er, was even more sad when she heard him ask, her tears fell like a broken line, her peach blossom eyes were rubbed red, and she replied with a choked voice: "My husband came back last night and had a bad relationship, and when he was about to settle in, he suddenly began to cry, and the noise made the neighbors uneasy." Not long after, before the sky was bright, he ran out again with his hair scattered, and jumped into the Qingming Canal next to the road before he ran far! ”

No one got up when he jumped down, and the neighbors heard the movement and came out to see, and they also helped to salvage and had no harvest, and they had to freeze to death if they didn't drown in the water for too long in this winter, so it can be seen that they can't survive.

Feng Xian'er began to cry again after speaking, and sighed again and again: "The slave family is miserable, and I haven't had a peaceful birthday...... Husband, you are gone, what should you do with the slave? ”

Crying and crying, she went into the house as if she suddenly remembered something, took out a crimson official uniform and handed it to Wen Heng and said: "Yesterday, the slave ate the wedding wine and went home first, but when the husband came back, he didn't wear his own clothes, but wore your brother's wedding clothes, and the slave asked him for a long time, he only said that he had made a big mistake, and he was shameless to face his relatives and friends, but he didn't say anything. ”

Then she asked Wen Heng with tears in her eyes, what happened last night.

Speaking of this, Wen Heng looked at his brother helplessly, and said helplessly: "I can't say anything about thieves or anything like that, I just said that someone in the house robbed you of your clothes, and I didn't know that it was Brother Lin, and then I left a little money and found an excuse to come back." What do you think of this......? ”

Yan Bing, who was sitting in the same hall and listening, also turned her head to look at Wen Yuan, and asked suspiciously, "Is it him?" "Or did Liu Zixu and Lin Kai do it together?

Wen Yuan shook his head decisively: "My friend, I know that Lin Kai is by no means a person of inferior character, besides, he used to work as a farmer when he was young, with broad shoulders and slightly shorter legs, which is by no means the same as the person on the night of the candle." Throwing into the river...... It's hard to say. ”

After saying this, he frowned, got up and paced in the hall, full of confusion. He actually planned to go straight to Lin Kai's house to see what was going on, but he felt that he was just getting married at this moment, and the holiday was only three days and last night had gone through twists and turns, so he was really embarrassed to open his mouth to Yan Bing.

But if he didn't go, he felt sorry for Lin Kai, and he felt uneasy.

"Why is it hard to say that you throw yourself into the river? If everyone is watching, they won't be harmed like the chef at the beginning, right? Yan Bing looked at her husband's anxious appearance and felt a little panicked, she hadn't slept well, and she felt even more dizzy when she saw him keep going around in circles.

"When the dawn is still dark, and the face is covered with a cloak of hair, God knows who it is who jumped into the river? I have seen more than once in the case file the matter of committing the crime first and then jumping into the river by a stand-in. Alas," Wen Yuan let out a long sigh as he spoke, turned his head to look at Yan Bing, and said with a stern expression, "There is something wrong with Feng's words, I suspect that Brother Lin was ...... last night."

He paused, and then endured the last sentence: I want to interrogate myself myself.

"Yes, her husband jumped into the river and disappeared, she cried and cried, and she can tell it clearly from crying last night, she is too calm, as if she is saying a set of words." Yan Bing nodded, and said very understandingly, "Why don't you go and take a look?" Brother Lin and you know each other for a while, and you can't let him bear his notoriety. What's more, the Qingming Canal is in the jurisdiction, and you, the county magistrate of Chang'an County, should also ask. ”

"Well," Wen Yuan nodded immediately, secretly happy that his wife could communicate with him, but hesitated, "What about you?" ”

"It's inconvenient for me to go to the husband's case, just take care of the inner courtyard at home, okay?" After experiencing the Baiyun Temple limb case, Yan Bing didn't want to go to other crime scenes to be stimulated.

What's more, the most important thing for the new daughter-in-law to take office is to get the power to preside over the middle feed, and yesterday she encountered chaos in the inner courtyard of the Rong family, and she should take care of all kinds of things.

"I'll ask the housekeeper Li Shan to hand over the account books and keys to you, and then recognize those subordinates." After Wen Yuan arranged the chores at home, he hastily had lunch before going out.

It wasn't until Yan Bing sent him out that he was a little hesitant and told him that he was actually almost a vegetarian and didn't eat red meat, so he needed to pay attention to it when arranging food in the future.

"Huh? I haven't seen you fail to eat on weekdays?! Yan Bing looked surprised, in the past, the brothers of the Rong family often stayed overnight in the Li family, and each person had a plate of meat and vegetables when they divided the meal, and every time he ate cleanly, he did not leave a grain of rice.

"I'm embarrassed to say when I'm a guest, but I can actually eat it, but I'm just a little sick to my stomach when I see it," Seeing Yan Bing's sympathetic look, he smiled lightly and explained, "Invisible red meat, such as steamed buns and dumplings, I can accept it." ”

"Okay, I know, in the future, you will never be wronged at home. Go and get back quickly, don't be verbose. Yan Bing smiled confidently and reached out to pat Wen Yuan on the shoulder, persuading him to go out quickly.

Childhood sweethearts are so good, like a family with no barriers at all, even if they are newly married, they don't have to be ashamed to say more, don't dare to do more.

"Okay, I'll go now, you can lie down in the afternoon to make up for your sleepiness. Don't worry about the housekeeper's business, the days are still long. Wen Yuan looked at Yan Bing's slightly blue lower eyes and felt a little distressed, and didn't want her to work too hard.

Yan Bing shook her head and sighed, "How can I sleep without you?" "The whole backyard is just her and the two maids, completely insecure, in case someone climbs over the wall to come in, it is really called every day, and the ground is not spiritual.

Wen Yuan thought that she was referring to the fact that she wanted her husband to accompany her, and she was reluctant to let him go, so her heart was as sweet as eating honey, but she said lightly: "Okay, okay, whatever you want." With that, he went out.

As soon as Wen Yuan left, after Wen Heng also went to study in the study, she asked Yaxiang to summon the Rong family, stand in a row under the steps outside the hall, and give a reward and lecture by the way.

When everyone gathered to take a look, Yan Bing was immediately stunned: there were only four servants of the Rong family who signed the deed of sale! That is, Li Shan's family, which was given by General Duan.

The husband is the housekeeper, the wife cleans and washes, and the sons follow Wen Yuan and Wen Heng as scholars, and they also help with some chores.

Because Wen Yuan usually had lunch in the Yamen, and Wen Heng lived in the school of Guozijian, he only had a light meal from Li Shan's family on weekdays, and it was not until he got married that he hired a new cook.

There were no maidservants in the family before, but now there are more elegant fragrances and warm fragrances to fill in the fine work. In addition, Nuan Xiang's parents and her brother's family of four made Yan Bing's dowry, just the old gatekeeper, the young coachman, and the middle-aged woman went to the kitchen to help.

“…… Everyone do things seriously, and your husband will not treat you badly in the future. Yan Bing looked at the two families who looked honest and simple, plus the cook who didn't have much to do with it, and she didn't have anything to say.

After each person gave a handful of money, he waved his hand and let everyone disperse.

After that, Yan Bing began to reconcile with Li Shan and began to manage the housework.

After looking at the treasury and other places, she spread out the account book in the hall, and quickly made Wen Yuan's salary and the production of the grange given by General Duan into an income column, clothing, accessories, social entertainment, and household expenses as a column, and used an abacus to pull it out, which was completely beyond her means!

She rubbed her eyes and checked again, it was indeed an imbalance between income and expenditure, and it was far from it!

Zhuangzi tenants are responsible for their own profits and losses, and this is left alone.

They have a set of clothes and accessories, a set of money to say the least, and they have to support five people, and the money that Wen Yuan has been making in the month is only enough for the whole family to drink porridge and wear coarse cloth.

She couldn't help rubbing her temples with a headache, and asked Li Shan bluntly: "This money is not enough, how did his two brothers live in the past?" ”

"Duan Lang's main office also allocates another monthly case every month, and each has the same money." Li Shan pointed to an item in the account book and replied politely.

I have always used money as pocket money, and it is enough to eat and drink well at home, but if it involves personal exchanges, it is obviously not good.

Just when Yan Bing was puzzled, Li Shan continued to answer her questions and explained: "Although the two Lang Jun live in Beppu, they are not separated, the clothes, shoes and socks are all done by the Duan family all year round, and Mrs. Ye is also responsible for giving gifts and returning gifts. ”

Hearing this, Yan Bing was stunned for a moment, she thought that she was a serious housekeeper when she came over, but it wasn't it?

What else do Mrs. Ye have to do after doing everything? Decoration? No.

Yan Bing recalled what Wen Yuan had said when he was courting, he had made up his mind to be a Qing official, and even said that he should be very poor in the future. General Duan is accustomed to a luxurious life, and the two do not agree on basic concepts.

Although the Duan family is only nourished by Mrs. Yejun's mother's business, they must have never accepted bribes, but ...... Wen Yuan should not be willing to accept funding and help from the other party all the time.

Hey, so it's all about money! Zhiwei Zhai dim sum shop must be opened as soon as possible to subsidize the family.

Yan Bing hastily flipped through the account book and dealt with it in the afternoon, and when it was approaching dusk, she felt that her brain was getting duller and duller, and she wanted to squint and rest for a while, but she waited left and right and didn't come to Wen Yuan to go home for dinner.

When it was dark, Zhulu, the scholar who followed Wen Yuan out, hurriedly ran back alone, and after entering the hall to worship Yan Bing, he hurriedly said, "Lang Jun can't come back for the time being." ”

"What, what's wrong? Does he have a place to eat? Yan Bing hurriedly asked.

"Lin Dalang's corpse was found, and it was salvaged in the Qingming Canal. But Lang Jun said that he was not drowned, because there was no water in his stomach and no silt and river sand in his mouth, it should be murder and throwing the body, and he called him to do an examination. Zhu Lu spoke in a gesture, and Yan Bing was worried when she heard it.

She first felt sorry for Lin Kai, and then felt sorry for her husband who was running around on an empty stomach, so she simply arranged someone to send dry food and hot soup to Wen Yuan.

After the hot dinner was delivered, Wen Yuan had no appetite for food, because Lin Kai had no scars on his body, and he couldn't tell how he died.

Feng Xian'er repeatedly cried out for wrongdoing, refused to admit that she had harmed people, and insisted that Lin Kai had thrown himself into the river and died, and the case fell into a fog for a while.
