Chapter 35 Abandoned Soldier
"We were in a hurry to come back to see the girl, but we didn''t have time to ask more questions. We only heard that many people were cheated of money by the second manager of Changle Gambling."
Jiujin brewed tea and served it, and said with a smile, "Those two managers deceived people to save money and gave them two profits every month. There were really a lot of people who were fooled."
"Actually, if you understand, you know. How can you do that in this world be so good? The money house only has one or two cents of profit a year. Who can give you two cents of profit out of thin air? It must be all the money you released."
"But they didn''t ask if others didn''t say it, and they were so at ease that they took the profit." Jiujin shook his head.
Baliang looked around for a while and showed a little disgust in his eyes, "Will the girl live here when she returns home?"
This governor''s mansion is too terrible.
It’s just such a small and dilapidated house for their girls to live in. Who do they look down on?
"Yes, I look at this courtyard, it seems that there is more than one girl?" Mrs. Huang frowned.
Yu Linlang patted their hands, "It''s just a temporary stay. Once we move our household registration from their homes, we can return to Jinling openly and never have to hide."
The three of them showed joy on their faces and nodded in unison, "Oh" and said.
"By the way, the rice and grain you want, you should be here in a few days." Baliang thought of the serious matter and his expression became a little serious.
Yu Linlang nodded, "What happened to you halfway?"
"There is no big deal, just a long journey, and Guangshui bandits met three groups. Fortunately, they met the people from the Dafeng Chamber of Commerce on the way. The other party was very enthusiastic and friendly. They took their sailboat and finally nothing happened in the future."
Yu Linlang raised her eyebrows and curled her lips with a smile, "Yeah."
"This year, not to mention that Qizhou and Qingzhou are in debt, Weizhou Prefecture will have a hard time making a living after the winter." Mrs. Huang sighed, "Since the lady plans to stay here temporarily, it is better to make plans early."
Several people were talking when they heard Mrs. Hu shouting, "Miss Yu, Miss Jiujin!"
When Mrs. Huang and Baliang heard this inappropriate title, Meifeng couldn''t help but frowned.
"Who do you call Miss Yu?" Mrs. Huang opened the door and yelled at the woman, "The girls of all sizes in this room are all surnamed Yu, who do you call Miss Yu?"
"What? My girl was thrown out by you since she was a child, so she didn''t even deserve a ranking, right?"
Xiangling and Xiangye followed Madam Hu. Seeing that Sister Huang looked uneasy, she hurriedly lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
Madam Hu was shocked.
Jiujin walked out the door and smiled at her, "Madam Hu, this is my lady''s exclusive cook, Sister Huang."
"That''s Baliang, the girl''s personal maid. I mentioned yesterday that my girl is not young or old, but in fact, there are three of you."
"If it really doesn''t work, just go back to the lady''s yard. It''s useless to come if you can''t even figure out the title."
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the third girl, thank you, yes, the old woman is slow to behave and doesn''t know how to behave, she should be beaten." Mrs. Hu was also able to bend and stretch, and immediately patted her mouth to express her mistake when she saw that she was wrong.
Yu Linlang went out to look at her, asked blankly, "Is someone dead again?"
Madam Hu''s face twitched and she waved her hand to reply, "No, no. But something happened in the mansion. The old lady asked all the girls and the ladies to go to her yard for questions."
…
Yuhuayuan where the old lady lives is located in the southeast corner of the mansion, and is located at the best and most spacious. Yu Linlang did not take anyone else when she came here, and only Madam Hu led the way.
After passing through the entrance door of the yard from the corridor, I saw the eldest lady Yu Qiuping kneeling at the entrance of the main courtyard at a glance.
Two maids lying on the side, who were beaten to death and could not move.
Yu Linlang glanced lightly, followed the silent Madam Hu in, and then entered the old lady''s main room after the notification.
The old lady was wearing a brocade silk robe today, her hair was covered with frost, and her expression was a little colder than what she saw the day before yesterday.
Time has precipitated her temperament and given her a unique sense of dignity and beauty. Even if there are a few deep trenches on your face, you can still see your past appearance.
Aunt Cui, who loves to talk the most, dares not act rashly today under the pressure of the old lady. She stood beside her sisters without saying anything.
Seeing Yu Linlang walk in, he looked at her with only a pair of autumn-like eyes.
Yu Linlang bowed without being humble or arrogant, and walked slowly to the side and stood there.
“The master is here.”
The women in the house were a little surprised to know what happened. At this time, when the governor Yu came, he couldn''t help but feel excited.
Huo took a sip of tea and looked at Aunt Ma who was timidly huddled behind her, with a hint of mockery in her eyes, "I guess there are still some people who don''t know what happened today, so let the master tell you."
Governor Yu rushed into the door with an old face and saluted the old lady first. Then he glared at Aunt Ma who was shrunk his hands and shouted angrily, "Ma, you are a good daughter!"
Aunt Ma knelt down on the ground with a "popping" and kowtowed and cried, "Master forgives the crime, Madam forgives the crime. It''s all the fault of the concubine. It''s because she doesn''t know how to persuade the eldest lady. If the madam wants to punish her, she will punish her concubine. She is willing to bear it with all her strength."
"Can you afford it?" Yu Governor suddenly stepped forward and kicked Aunt Ma, and kicked the man to the ground, and was extremely unhappy.
"Do you know what your good daughter did? She secretly hid it from her family, and the scholar was giving away money outside!"
"Oh my God!" Aunt Cui reached out to cover her lips, opened her eyes wide and showed a look of surprise, "How did the eldest lady do this?"
Yu Zhihuan had a cold face and clenched her little hands into fists, "The eldest sister is really confused. It is illegal to put money on seals. Where should the eldest sister put her father in such a way? Wouldn''t it make her father embarrassed?"
"This matter is still in front of the prince, Lord Lu and others! It has completely lost my old face!"
Huo sneered repeatedly, "The foolish thing that my elder sister committed alone has touched the family''s family. What do her sisters say about them in the future? I think it''s better to cut the mess quickly, so I just sent her to Guzi Temple to be calm and calm, so as not to implicate her many sisters."
Aunt Ma fell to the ground with a fright, her face turned pale, and she kowtowed to beg for mercy, "Madam, please spare me, Master, please forgive me. Old lady, please beg for mercy on the young lady! She was just confused for a while. She was only seventeen years old, how could she go to Guzi Temple to suffer the crime for that lifetime?"
The old lady was wearing a bracelet and staring at Aunt Ma with a cold face for a while, then she said quietly, "Old guy, didn''t you say that you had seen a family for the elder sister? You''ll get married and you can get this storm early."
"The eldest sister is not young anymore. If you choose and keep it, you will be an old girl."
Aunt Ma was shocked and shed tears and kowtowed, "Old lady, old lady."
