Mu Huagui

Chapter 65 Showdown
Ever since she moved in, the middle hall has been used by Chen Jiao'er as a meeting hall, where she often checks accounts or discusses matters in the shop.

Aunt Su nodded. Today Li Lu went to the countryside to collect embroidery, Su Dazhuang went to the wharf to look at silks and satins, and Li Dafeng stayed in the shop to do some odd jobs.

Seeing Li Dafeng come in, Chen Jiaoer asked Cherry to stay in the back room to do needlework with the two little girls, and opened the door of the meeting room.Sitting inside, you can clearly see people coming from outside, but it is a good place to talk.

After Li Dafeng came in, seeing the young lady's expression was uneasy, he saluted carefully, and waited for the lecture.After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear the sound. He raised his head curiously, but saw that the young lady was staring at him, with an unknown light shining in her eyes.

Thinking carefully about what I have done recently, before I understood it, I heard the young lady ask, "I heard that your grandson has been smart since he was a child, and your family wants to send him to study in school."

"Miss, what are you..." Li Dafeng was unsure what exactly Miss meant.

"Don't think too much, just answer me, yes or no." Chen Jiaoer's eyes were dim.Gritting his teeth, Li Dafeng said "yes". Emperor Ganwu of the Great Zhou Dynasty personally changed the regulations of the scientific examination, saying that he did not stick to any criteria to recruit talents.As long as you are not a slave when you enter the exam, you can take any exam in the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as you pass the exam, your relatives within three generations will automatically be released from slavery.

Emperor Qianwu undoubtedly made a huge change compared to the previous dynasty where slaves could only take part in the scientific examination after three generations of slavery.Although so far, it can be said that there are very few people who have really taken off their slave status and become officials, and most of them are inferior officials.But even so, it opened a door and ignited the dreams of countless people.

"If I promise to release your grandson from slavery and help him find the best school to enroll in, how would you like it?" Chen Jiao'er looked into the other's eyes and said slowly.

Li Dafeng's face first turned from surprise to bewilderment, and finally his face suddenly became miserable. He knelt down on the ground with a "plop", and said, "Whatever Miss wants this old slave to do, this old slave will definitely do it."

"Oh, you look like you know what I want you to do, then you have to think about it before answering." Chen Jiao'er looked at him, not knowing what it was like.

"If the old slave's guess is correct, is it related to the murder of Ms. Chen ten years ago?" After Li Dafeng figured it out, he felt calm. , I also deserved to die.

"That's right, if you can think of it, you must also know the risk. You may not be able to escape unscathed." Chen Jiao'er saw his body tremble, but still did not waver.Only then did the plan be fully revealed, and Li Dafeng, as the party concerned, took the letter to knock on the drum of grievances in Shuntian Mansion, reporting that Lin Da's family had murdered Chen Jiao'er, the lady of the house, as slaves.

This is her real purpose. With a letter, it is obviously unrealistic to want to pull Chen De into the water.Her goal this time is only for Da Lin's family. The food needs to be eaten bite by bite, and the road needs to be walked step by step.What she has is patience and time. One day, it will be Chen Desheng's turn.

Li Dafeng finished nibbling his head and silently backed away.After Xiang'er recovered from his illness, he had already begun to suspect that he was not an old slave who had never seen the world after all.

I have followed the old man for many years, and he is good at communicating with others, speaking and doing things.The so-called chaos due to concern, is overwhelmed by the grandson's illness, and is naturally led by the nose.

When he woke up, he knew that someone with a heart was investigating what happened ten years ago. Of course, she still didn't understand why a person who had nothing to do with him cared about the murder case ten years ago.

But as a qualified domestic slave, he would not ask the master what the family did not say.What's more, what does this matter to him, it is enough for him to know what he should do.

When Li Dafeng went out, Aunt Su came in and said, "I have placed all three of their family in my yard according to your instructions. Chunlan helps cook and take care of the children, and Li Lu runs outside with Da Zhuang. Look at it like this." Ok."

"It's very good. Aunt Su just keep an eye on it. Just don't let their family go out at the same time." At the critical moment, Chen Jiao'er couldn't help being careless.

In the incident ten years ago, Li Dafeng only played the role of a messenger. He could clearly pretend to be confused, but she grasped his weakness and was the first to push him out to face all this.Thinking of this, Chen Jiao'er felt a little uncomfortable, and her expression became a little depressed.

Aunt Su saw the clue, sat aside, and took Chen Jiaoer's hand, not knowing how to comfort her, she just held it tightly.In her heart, anyone can sacrifice for Miss, but there is no entanglement between the parties.

In order to distract the young lady, Mrs. Su began to chatter about what happened recently. Some house ordered hundreds of purses, and some housekeeper even ordered a screen embroidered with gold needles. The deposit alone was 50 taels.

He also said that Qihong sent someone to come twice, saying that he wanted to see the young lady, but Aunt Su dismissed her on the grounds that she was suffering from a serious illness.There is also the wedding date of the young master of the Chen Manor in December, Chen Zikang and Chen Zian have also fixed their wedding dates, one in March next year, the other in April, and Chen Qishan in June next year.

In detail, the Chen family will hold four weddings from this year to next year.Everyone in Chen's house was busy day and night, and it happened that Mr. Chen was impeached by the imperial officials, and the second wife was so angry that he was half dead.

Think about the second wife with the most reputation, when the three children are going to have a happy event, when encountering the matter of the old man, she must be so depressed that she wants to vomit blood.

Listening to Mrs. Su describing the appearance of the second wife vividly, she couldn't help but smile, "Mom has never seen it before, but she learned it so vividly, the second wife is very angry, isn't that what she looks like."

Inside the Jinhua Residence, both the elder master and the second master stood in front of the old lady. The old lady sighed and said, "I'm old, so it's okay if I don't know much about the outside world. How could the elder one be so closed? And the second son, you As the imperial official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is difficult to remind him a little bit and let him have a countermeasure beforehand."

The elder obviously didn't tell his family about the early summoning of King Xianjun, he only said that he was caught off guard by the emperor.As soon as I got home, I started asking questions.

The second master glanced at the old lady, and said, "Mother, this matter has been rumored in the market for more than half a month, but they didn't mention their names, and no one thought that it was aimed at elder brother."

"Master Gu was born as a commoner, and he is notoriously difficult to deal with. He usually doesn't sell anyone's face. What's more, he knows that this matter is related to his son, so why would he tell him in advance? I'm afraid he will try his best to hide it. I'm fine."

Only then did the old lady let her two sons sit down, and after a long time said, "You are not afraid of evil shadows, Boss, there are no outsiders today, tell us the truth, did you do it?"

The old man stood up again in shock, "Mother, why would my son do such a thing. No matter how good at managing money is Chen Junyu, the century-old Chen Mansion is for nothing, and my son will be short of his money."

The Chen Mansion has been in the hands of the old lady for many years, so it is natural to know how many belongings there are.Although I dare not brag about my wealth, it is more than enough for a family.What's more, the eldest lady has been the housekeeper for ten years, and she will never be short of money.

But, is it really for the money? The old lady narrowed her eyes and carefully looked at the eldest son standing opposite her.If it was only for money, she would not believe it.Just be afraid, there is something inside that she doesn't know.

"This matter, could someone be targeting Chen Meiren?" The second master had already judged this. There are seven beauties in the palace, of which his niece and Tang Xiaodie are more distinguished, and Ming Meiren and Wei Meiren are the most respected by the emperor. pet.Probably one of these few would be promoted to the concubine, and the niece was not very favored at all, so if her father made a mistake, she would naturally miss the chance to be a concubine.

"Well, that makes sense. Then Ming Qiniang's father is just a petty official, and Wei Ruling is a descendant of the former court. They are all unworthy of the status. Naturally, they are afraid of being compared to us." The old lady nodded. , he also considered this at the first time.

"Hmph, if you let me know who did the tricks..." In addition to the queen, there are countless beauties in the emperor's harem, including one imperial concubine, four concubines, eight concubines, and countless beauties.Only when she is promoted to the rank of concubine can she raise herself after giving birth to a prince, and then she can be regarded as having a position, which is completely different from a beauty.The old man was naturally angry.

"It doesn't matter who did it, the battle in the harem, as long as she is still alive, will not stop for the rest of her life. It is more common to see her when she is young, and her spirit is also good.

Only after I had a child did I know how to hide my strength and bide my time and protect myself. "The old lady didn't care, she couldn't survive such a trivial matter, how could she gain a foothold in the harem in the future.

"Yi Niang's meaning." The second master's two sons and one daughter have only been married for half a year, and they are married. Although it will not affect the marriage, but the matter is hanging there, it is really ugly.

"The second child finds a way to settle this matter quickly, and the boss should not be petty, hurry up and cooperate with Dali Temple to close the case, and return your innocence. Don't procrastinate, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and do it in an irrelevant place." I can't get caught up in small things."

What the old lady is most afraid of is that Dali Temple will try its best to delay this matter because of the benefits.After procrastination and procrastination, once the emperor's concubine is promoted, even if he is still innocent, it will not help the matter.

When the two brothers left Jinhua Residence, the elder glanced at his own younger brother, sighed and said, "Second brother, it's been so many years, why should you still worry about it. Anyway, we are all brothers."

The second master pulled out a smile, "It's nothing, I really didn't hear the letter about what happened today, otherwise I would have told you anyway."

After the elder master left, the second master laughed at himself, wondering if he still had expectations for his elder brother.

He is the son of Chen's parents, and he has been placed with high hopes by his parents since he was a child.He has also developed a selfish temperament, and he values ​​the gains and losses more than anything else. If it weren't for today's impeachment, I'm afraid he wouldn't have said this to himself more.

After figuring this out, he accelerated the pace of returning to Yiwenju.Seeing his wife waiting for him to come back, he smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, so don't worry, I won't miss the children's business."

"Which noble person in the palace is it, the Tang family or the Wei family." The second lady can always quickly grasp the essence of the matter, but unfortunately, she miscalculated this time.It would never have occurred to her that this incident was caused by a little orphan girl who had gone away from the Chen residence.

"I don't know, and I don't need to know. If someone is willing to do this kind of thing, he must clean up the first and last, and we should finish it as soon as possible." While talking, the second master stretched out his hand for his wife to wait for him to take off his normal clothes.

After the couple washed up, they leaned together and talked about their own feelings. Seeing that the second lady's brows were still unruffled, she comforted her, "Brother swears in front of mother that you haven't done it, so put your heart back in your stomach."

The second lady smiled "puchi", took her fist and lightly beat the second master's chest, buried her head in it again, and buzzed, "You know what I'm thinking."

"My husband naturally knows." The second master hugged his wife from behind and whispered in her ear.
