I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 565 Cooperation
"The Forbidden Dragon Guards are watching over the warehouse, and the others dare not act rashly." He Nuan said in a low voice, agreeing with Zhan Feiyu's rejection of Qiu Jingyuan's conditions. Gu Xueshi's name is running amok.

Before the downfall of Sanfang, how many people Qiu Jingyuan harmed by relying on her family background, those are boudoir daughters, some just said a wrong sentence, some are more beautiful than Qiu Jingyuan, or smarter and more talented, as long as it is not pleasing to the eye, Qiu Jingyuan would let Qiu Feng do it secretly.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with Mr. Qiu sitting in the middle of Guizhou." Zhan Feiyu replied with a smile. It was Mr. Qiu who hadn't noticed the power lurking in the dark before, but now the tip of the iceberg has surfaced. , the power of the old man did not dare to act lightly.

The house is not big, and Zhan Feiyu and He Nuan had already reached the Chuihua Gate while they were talking, and just about to talk to Mrs. Wu before leaving, Mrs. Xu hurried over with her maid.

"Miss Zhan." Just as Xu was about to laugh, she thought of Dou's coffin at home. She forcibly suppressed her smile, and could only speak earnestly to Zhan Feiyu: "Miss is leaving now." ? This child Jingyuan is too sad, please forgive Miss Zhan if the hospitality is not good."

Perhaps because of his adopted status, even though Mrs. Xu intended to please Zhan Feiyu, her manner of speaking was not annoying.

"Ma'am, you are serious." Zhan Feiyu said a few polite words, but when she just left the main courtyard, she saw a little maid running along the wall, and combined with Xu's hurried steps, Zhan Feiyu guessed that she was Ask for yourself.

"The autumn sun is shining, Miss Zhan is going this way." Mrs. Xu led Zhan Feiyu to the path on the right, and after passing the Moon Gate, there was a hexagonal pavilion.

Maybe it's because he's a different generation from Zhan Feiyu. The thoughtfulness and tact he used to deal with other officials and wives in the past is not easy to show off to a ten-year-old girl. After Xu took her into the gazebo and sat down, he straightforwardly explained his intentions.

"Speaking of which, it's a family scandal." Mrs. Xu raised her eyes and looked at the cramped small yard. There were no expensive flowers and plants, and there were no rockery and strange rocks. A row of bamboo was planted against the corner of the wall, and then there were ordinary potted plants.

Due to being busy with Dou's funeral for the past two days, no one cleaned it. The ground was covered with fallen leaves and some weeds. It looked shabby and dilapidated.

"After the accident at home, the Holy One was merciful to our female relatives and children. We also returned part of our dowry and private property, but some of them are still sealed in the warehouse of the yamen. In the past, these were all things that were kept at the bottom of the box. It can support the facade when you come out, but now the family is stretched."

Mrs. Xu is not crying for poverty. In fact, only the female relatives and children are left in the big family. The men involved in the case have been escorted to the capital. Although the sentence of the Ministry of Criminal Justice has not yet come down, she knows in her heart that it is either beheading or exile. A part of the silver is prepared.

Thin coffins were prepared for those who were beheaded, and they had to be transported thousands of miles from the capital to Qianzhong Prefecture. As for those who were exiled, they needed money to manage, at least to ensure that people were alive.

Choking with sobs, Xu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and continued with a wry smile: "The children in the family still need to read and write. This is another one-off payment. There are seven things to do, and none of them require money."

"Madam, do you want to sell the property?" Zhan Feiyu heard a little voice, and after seeing Madam Xu nodded, he asked again: "Madam, are you worried that the pawnshop will lower the price?"

The relationship between the Sanfang and the Dizhi is actually known to everyone in Qianzhong Road, and Xu and the others know it well. Although they can’t write two characters of Qiu in one stroke, it’s because there are only women and children left in the Sanfang. Qiu My lord will definitely not kill them all, leaving nothing to the enemy.

Xu used the action of wiping her tears to hide the flash of hatred in her eyes. Her brother Ping was only a weaker champion last year.

Mrs. Xu can be sure that her own Yao'er did not participate in the shady things in Sanfang, and she may not even know about it. After all, that cheap girl Qiu Jingyuan once laughed at Yao'er as a nerd.

But even so, after Sanfang was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason, Yao'er was also imprisoned. He went to Qiu's house to beg and cry, but Yao'er was still put in a prison car and went to the capital for trial.

Suppressing the hatred in his heart, Xu Xuren's red eyes were full of helplessness and sadness, "Master Qiu has taken good care of our third room, but those servants are the most ruthless, and I can't ask for these things. Miss Zhan, you have some contacts with Mr. Jiao, so I asked you to help me with a word."

Mrs. Xu's words are not false, those who were harmed by Sanfang back then will definitely find their way back now, although it seems that Master Qiu will not kill all the women and children of Sanfang, but secretly do something to fight back Three rooms are still available.

Not to mention whether Mr. Qiu would know about these trivial matters, even if he knew, he would not be able to intervene. There are grievances and debts, and the evil things that Sanfang did in the past are nothing but retribution.

Mrs. Xu glanced at Zhan Feiyu cautiously, and seeing that she looked normal, she smiled and said, "Our sisters-in-law and I have saved some things over the years, the girl can take a look first to see if anyone likes her. "

Zhan Feiyu's eyes flickered slightly, these words sounded interesting, I'm afraid it wasn't for him to pick something, but for him to pick out the token from Dou's dowry or private property, Mrs. Xu is so clever, At least it was much better than what Qiu Jingyuan offered.

"I agree to this matter. I will treat my wife to tea in a few days." Zhan Feiyu stood up. As for how Mrs. Xu "persuaded" Qiu Jingyuan to take out Dou's dowry, Zhan Feiyu would not ask, compared to means The simple and rude Qiu Jingyuan, the eldest aunt Mrs. Xu is definitely much more powerful.

There was joy in Xu's eyes, and she also stood up, with a much more relaxed expression, "Thank you Miss Zhan for your help, I will send the girl out."

……

After a busy day, receiving many female relatives, Mrs. Wu was exhausted after returning to the Qiu Mansion. After taking a bath, she let Mammy Dong press her shoulders.

"Ma'am, here comes the ginseng tea." The servant girl gently put the ginseng tea that had been boiled for half an hour on the table, and then walked out of the inner room gently.

Wu took a few sips from the cup, and his voice was a little hoarse after talking too much, but today he represented Qianzhong Daoqiu Mansion, which made Wu's eyes sparkle with excitement even though he was tired.

"Mommy, what did they talk about in private with Zhan Feiyu?" Wu said with her eyes half-closed, her eyes glistening.

Although she was afraid of He Nuan, the Lian family's son, Wu did not send anyone to eavesdrop, but Wu brought many servants to the third room to help, so He Nuan was well informed. She knew that after Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Jingyuan broke up unhappy, She was taken away by Mrs. Xu, and when Mrs. Xu came back after sending someone out, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

Mother Dong kept moving her hands, "Miss Zhan wants status and money, although the Xu family and the others said they came here, but if there is something to ask for, it must be our Qiu family, and they have to go to Miss Zhan." , Hmph, they are all white-eyed wolves, eating inside and out."

Mrs. Wu smiled, and drank two more sips of ginseng tea, with a bit of joy in her expression, "The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world's hustle and bustle is for profit. Mrs. Xu has a grudge against us, so I would rather be cheap. Zhan Feiyu will not let us give the Qiu family the credit for this day's great work."

The family background of the Wu family is not much worse than that of the Qiu family. In the Daqing Dynasty, there was always a saying that a noble family would marry a daughter. She came as the head wife.

Therefore, Mrs. Wu has been communicating with her natal family in letters over the years, not only to reveal some things about the Qiu family to her natal family, but also to obtain some news from her natal family that only men know.

This time the token matter was of great importance, Lord Qiu and Qiu Bingde did not reveal anything to the family members, in the end it was the male who ruled the outside and the female who ruled the house, and it was rarely discussed with the female family when it was a matter of great importance to the court.

The Wu family sent someone over in the name of visiting their daughter. Only then did Wu know more about the inside story, and also knew that the token was in Dou's dowry or private property, and Dou died because of it.

Because Mrs. Xu and Qiu Jingyuan talked to Zhan Feiyu in private, Mrs. Wu knew what they were talking about without guessing, but Mrs. Wu was bound to get this token!
