I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 632
The more Zhejing thought about it, the more annoyed she became, but she wanted to do it but she didn't have enough strength, so she could only vent her anger on Zhou Guanshi, "I bought these two people, and they haven't been sent to me yet!"

Uh... Guanshi Zhou who was pointed at by the whip was dumbfounded. This little ancestor really ate persimmons and picked soft ones.

But no matter how aggrieved Manager Zhou was, he could only keep a smile on his face, "The girls are all here, and it's their luck that the young miss has someone they like."

"You're blind, I said I want these two people!" Zhe Jing whipped the whip furiously, but fortunately she didn't intend to hurt anyone, and the whip flew past Zhou Guanshi's cheek.

Steward Zhou took two steps back with lingering fear, saying that the eldest lady of the Zhe family would smack people if she disagreed with her. Steward Zhou also regarded it as a rumor before. At this moment, his face was pale with fright, and he stabilized his mind before he stammered: "Mr. Miss, these two have already been bought away, and they have already passed the red contract in the Yamen."

"I said I will buy these two people!" Zhejing reiterated forcefully, Zhejing has no shortage of maids and cooks. Originally, she came to the dental shop just to see, but now she has a relationship with Zhan Feiyu. Zhejing He wanted to take the cook and maid away, "Give me the money, Ah Da!"

Before Zhou Guanshi had time to open his mouth, two bank notes were stuffed into his hand, but upon closer inspection, they turned out to be two 50 taels.

But Zhe Jing didn't dare to offend anyone openly, and even Manager Zhou didn't dare, so he endured the heartache and handed over the bank note, "Miss, don't look at it anymore, these few The girls all know the rules, and two of them can also cook, and it is really not good for these two to pass the red deed in the Yamen."

"So what if you have the red deed? It's just a matter of one sentence, I want these two people!" Zhejing looked arrogant, Zhejia's face is here, and those small officials in the yamen dare not give Zhejia face? "There is a problem with the contract of sale of these two people, and if it is revoked, it doesn't count. That's fine, I will take these two people back to Zhejia."

Zhan Feiyu looked at Zhejing who was talking to herself with a smile, "From Miss Zhe's words, it seems that this Shuntian government office is run by the Zhe family, and the contract in black and white in the government office is invalid if it is invalidated. I'm going to ask the White House Yin."

"You?" Zhejing stared at Zhan Feiyu, the sharp-toothed little bitch, with fiery eyes.

Bai Fu Yin is upright, stern and selfless, but whenever Shun Tian Fu takes over a case, no matter who intercedes, Bai Fu Yin will not give face, everything is handled fairly, and there is absolutely no favoritism.

"Miss, don't worry, this red deed will definitely work." Steward Zhou said with a bitter face. If it's an ordinary matter, the servants of the government office will be more or less accommodating. I don't want this official uniform anymore.

"It seems that Miss Zhe at the foot of the emperor wants to cover the sky with one hand." Zhan Feiyu smiled, "Ah Nuan took the deed of sale and took the two of them back."

"Yes, Miss." He Nuan agreed.

"This bitch..." Seeing Zhan Feiyu and the others who swaggered into the carriage and left, Zhejing was furious and took a whip and whipped at Manager Zhou. She couldn't move that bitch or anything like that Untouchables!
Ah Da and Ah Er didn't stop them, they were dressed in thick winter clothes, the young lady was so angry that the whip missed her head, and she couldn't beat people left and right.

Steward Zhou fell to the ground and cried out in pain. He covered his head with his arms, and then dodged left and right. The whip came down, except for the burning pain on the back of his hand, it wasn't too painful.

After all, people come and go outside the tooth shop, and Zhe Jing is tired after whipping more than a dozen times, but the anger can't be dissipated, "Go back to the house!"

Zhan Feiyu knew that Zhe Jing would not let it go, and left and right were just playing tricks. After returning to the courtyard of Yufeng Building, they continued with today's homework, which made Xiao Xiao and Cui Ya who came back together dumbfounded.

"Miss Xi Jing, she has to read every day, so whether she is cleaning up in the kitchen or in the yard, she should be gentle..." He Nuan roughly explained what the two of them had to do.

Cook Xiao is in charge of three meals a day, and Cui Ya helps with chores. As for Zhan Feiyu, He Nuan is taking care of her, so they don't need to intervene.

"I've written down what the girl said." Cook Xiao said, leading the somewhat dull Cui Ya to give He Nuan a salute, and then continued: "I stayed at the dental shop all night before, and I'm going to cook some. Wash with water first, and prepare lunch for the young lady in a while."

"Cui Ya, go and boil the water." He Nuan took out two taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Cook Xiao, "Your accent is also from the capital, so go and buy some clothes and sundries that you two need. Wait until the arrangements are made and then do things tomorrow.”

"Thank you Miss He." Cook Xiao gratefully took the money, she knew that she had met a kind master, so Cook Xiao's uneasy heart was finally relieved.

After the arrangements were made, He Nuan turned around and went to the study, and replied in a low voice: "Miss, Xiao has something to hide."

"Today we went to the tooth shop on a whim. It is impossible for outsiders to make arrangements in advance. Cook Xiao can check it as long as it has nothing to do with us." Zhan Feiyu guessed that Xiao Chef's background is not as simple as Ya Xing said. A cook who is good at cooking will serve at the master's house and will not go to the Zhuangzi unless there is a special reason.

Furthermore, when Zhejing appeared, Xiao’s expression changed obviously. Although she concealed it very quickly, He Nuan still noticed that she should have seen Zhejing. There was more tension and anxiety, and I didn't relax until I returned to Yufeng Building.

The Zhe family is considered a top family in the capital. Since Cook Xiao has met Zhe Jing, she thinks that the main house she stayed in before coming to Zhe family is almost the same as the Zhe family. Cook lady Xiao will be sold to a dental shop, probably to avoid something. It's just a secret in the back house.

……

Compared with Zhan Feiyu's calmness, Zhejia's house is now in a violent storm. Several women tried to stop the crazy Zhejing, but they were all whipped a few times.

Luliu staggered, not caring that she almost fell, and shouted anxiously towards the room, "Ma'am is not well, Missy is here..."

Yesterday I was so angry by Zhe Saburo, the eldest lady was leaning on the soft couch talking to the second lady who came to visit, when she heard Luliu's shout, she couldn't help frowning.

"What's the fuss about, little sister?" The second lady stood up and walked towards the window.

The second lady saw Zhejing running like crazy with a whip through the air gap, the women and maids behind her wanted to stop them but dared not, but there was a nursing home coming, but they were all stopped by Ah Da Ah Er up.

The eldest lady had a sullen face, Sanlang cared more about his sister-in-law than his mother, which made the eldest lady depressed, and now the sister-in-law broke into her yard without any rules.

Hearing the noise outside and the painful cries of the servants being whipped, the eldest lady laughed out of anger, "I'll give up my face to make amends to a junior, and even put on my own dowry. Hate me."

"Sister-in-law, don't get angry. Evil people will be tortured by evil people. Let's just wait." The second wife has always looked down on Zhe Jing's behavior, and she has completely humiliated the Zhe family.

It just so happens that the in-laws dote on her, and the Erlangs of the Zhejia family protect her. If the two sisters-in-law dare to say something wrong about Zhejing, they will become the public enemy of the whole family. Is he still indulging her lawless nonsense like this?

The eldest lady walked to the door and looked at Zhe Jing who rushed over like crazy, and smiled coldly: "Little sister got angry outside, so she came to my yard to act wild?"

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to speak in a weird way, I'll just ask." No matter how domineering Zhejing was, she dared not whip the lady. This was not only her sister-in-law, but also a girl from the household servant Zhao's family.

Before the eldest lady could open her mouth, Zhe Jing asked angrily, "Obviously that bitch offended me, but sister-in-law, you went behind my back to make amends. Now everyone in the capital is watching my jokes, sister-in-law, how about you?" what kind of heart?"

Zhejing's hand holding on to the whip was tight, and she didn't dare to make a move on the eldest lady after all, but she couldn't vent her anger, Zhejing looked at Luliu beside her with vicious eyes, and suddenly raised her whip and whipped it.

"Ah..." With a scream of pain, Lu Liu was whipped to the face without any precautions, and immediately screamed in pain.

"You lowly maidservant dare to scream, it's your honor for me to whip you!" Lu Liu cried out in pain, Zhe Jing became more proud, and once again slammed the whip in her hand, unable to deal with that bitch, did she Can't deal with this lowly maid!

The eldest lady and the second lady really did not expect that Zhejing has become so lawless, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog. Lu Liu is the servant girl who is personally served by the eldest lady. This whip hits Luliu one after another. On the face of the eldest lady.

"Stop!" The lady's face was ashen, trembling all over with anger, she shouted out of composure, "Don't stop the lady for me!"

The maidservants came to their senses and didn't care about their dignity anymore, they rushed over and finally stopped the crazy Zhe Jing, and the two women took the opportunity to push the beaten Lv Liu into the room.

There are three more welts on a good face, the deepest one runs from the left brow bone to the right cheek, the skin is torn and bruised, Lu Liu's face is probably ruined, and he can't stay in the inner courtyard to serve, send it to Chuang Tzu is already the best way out.

"Little sister, are you crazy?" The second lady was really worried that Zhejing would beat them when she went crazy, so she hurried forward and snatched the whip from her hand while the servant girl stopped Zhejing.

"I'm crazy, and I was also driven crazy by you. You help outsiders humiliate my sister-in-law. You just can't see me well and want to ruin my reputation!" He stared at the two sisters-in-law.

"Don't think that I don't know. The elder sister-in-law went to Yufeng Building to make amends to save my face. The second sister-in-law deliberately concealed the news from me to prevent me from knowing. The two of you are working together and bullying me!"

"Little sister, don't forget that Cheng Wu led people to explore Yufeng Building at night, but in the end he returned in a bad way. Why should I make amends for you? I don't want to lose the family for nothing!" The eldest lady sneered, standing Looking down on the unreasonable Zhejing on the steps, "Father, your elder brother and nephew fought bravely on the battlefield, but you dragged them back in Beijing, little sister, just treat me as my sister-in-law. I beg you, you!" If you continue to act recklessly like this, you will harm them!"

The Zhe family has a gold medal for avoiding death, but the Zhe family is a general after all, and has little relationship with the court. Once someone secretly trips up, whether it is a lack of food, military pay, or medicinal materials, it will affect the outcome of the battlefield. Then it will be too late to regret.

The Da Furen went to Yufeng Building to make amends, on the one hand, to avoid making strong enemies for the Zhe family, and on the other hand, she did save Zhejing's face, but in the final analysis, Zhejing lost face and it was her own fault.

Seeing the calm and dignified sister-in-law's angry eyes turned red, the second wife couldn't help but feel sad, the men of Zhe's family were fighting desperately on the battlefield, and any carelessness was the result of being shrouded in horse leather, but this sister-in-law, Zhejing, was causing trouble all day long , ruin the reputation of the Zhe family, and make enemies for the Zhe family every now and then. If this is her own daughter, the second wife would like to slap her to death.

The maids and nurses inside and outside the courtyard were silent at the moment, but it could be seen that everyone was dissatisfied with Zhejing, chasing the eldest son of the Ning family all over the capital, and disgraced the Zhe family man.

Now she offended someone for no reason, and the eldest sister-in-law made amends for her, but Zhejing not only didn't appreciate it, but also made a big fuss in the back house, beating the eldest sister-in-law's personal servant girl. There is no such domineering and arrogant sister-in-law in the capital.

"Jing'er, make amends to your sister-in-law!" A reprimand sounded at the gate of the courtyard, and the old lady Zhe rushed over after receiving the news with a solemn face. Make amends, then go to the ancestral hall and kneel, when will you reflect and when will you get up!"

"Mother?" Zhejing looked at the old lady Zhe dissatisfiedly, mother is so confused, she even helped her sister-in-law to bully herself.

The eldest lady and the second lady also suppressed their emotions, and respectfully bowed to the old lady, "It's because the daughter-in-law is not filial, and disturbed the mother to worship the Buddha."

The Daqing Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and besides pampering Zhe Jing, Mrs. Zhe really made no mistakes in her dealings with people. The first lady and the second lady were also respectful and filial to the old lady from the bottom of their hearts.

The old lady with a cane waved her hand, sighed, and looked disappointedly at Zhejing who refused to admit her mistake, "It's me who spoiled Jing'er, you are sisters-in-law, if there is anything wrong with Jing'er, just point it out , It’s better to change now than suffer a lesson later.”

The eldest lady and the second lady looked at each other. The mother-in-law had said this many times, but if their sister-in-laws really taught the sister-in-law how to behave, the mother-in-law would probably be the first to be upset.

Perhaps it was the old lady's sternness that she had never experienced before, Zhe Jing reluctantly apologized, and went to the ancestral hall angrily. As for whether she should kneel to reflect or go to the ancestral hall to hide in peace, she has no way of knowing.

……

At night, the north wind blew, and then snowflakes fell.

The light was still on in the stove, Cui Ya added a piece of firewood to the stove, and then said in a low voice: "Why does Miss Tian, ​​who is so cold, have to take a bath every night?"

Cui Ya was sold by his family when he was ten years old. The five taels of silver he sold was used to see a doctor and get medicine for his elder brother who broke his leg. Cui Ya remembered that when he was at home, he couldn’t take two baths in a winter. It was too cold. Who wants to take a bath, and if he accidentally catches a cold, he may die of illness, and the family does not have extra money to buy medicine.

Later, she was sold to the rice merchant Wang's family as a maid, and she was washed once a month.

"Don't say what you shouldn't say. We should just do our duty right now, and don't ask about the master's affairs, and we shouldn't ask." Cook Niang likes Cui Ya's temperament, she is obedient without much trouble, let her Just do whatever you want, and don't be lazy, otherwise Cook Xiao wouldn't have taught her the rules just now.

Cui Ya nodded with a dull expression, "I remember."

After waiting for a quarter of an hour for the water to boil, Mrs. Xiao quickly poured the hot water into the two wooden buckets, and then closed the lids, and then shouted to the outside, "He Huyuan, the hot water is gone. It's burnt."

The two large buckets of hot water seemed to weigh nothing in He Sheng's place. Holding the bucket in one hand, he still walked like flying, and left the stove in a blink of an eye.

Just as He Nuan prepared his clothes, he opened the door and asked He Sheng to bring in the hot water, "Brother, did you find out?"

"Ms. Xiao was in Wen's Zhuangzi before, and the second Miss Wen's lived in the Zhuangzi..." He Sheng quickly explained the situation that came out of the investigation.

It is estimated that people in the capital have almost forgotten about the second lady of the Wen family. After all, she has been crazy for seven or eight years, and the Wen family had no choice but to send her to Zhuangzi to be raised. Cook Xiao and several maidservants went to Zhuangzi with her back then. .

Although she is the second miss of the Wen family, she is a lunatic after all. After a long time, the Wen family guarantees the food and drink for the second miss of Wen. Lao Tzu and his brothers are all working in the Wen family, otherwise Tang Maocai would not be able to be in charge.

In Zhuangzi, Tang Maocai said the same thing. Mrs. Tang disliked the inconvenient life in Zhuangzi. She lived at home in the back alley of Wen's family for more than half a year. Tang Maocai became lustful and fell in love with Xiao's cook.

"Cook lady Xiao seems to be a cautious person. Does she have nothing to do with Wen's family?" Zhan Feiyu took the words, his eyes gleaming with the brilliance of listening to gossip. For a big family like the Wen family, let alone a cook. , even the mother-in-law who fell in Yexiang has some connections, not to mention that Tang Mao obviously didn't take advantage of this matter.

"The doctor said that Miss Wen's second lady's madness is getting more and more serious. Chef Xiao probably took the opportunity to escape because she didn't want to cause trouble." What He Sheng inquired about was that Chef Xiao deliberately found Tang Maocai in love with him. I let Mrs. Tang know, so Mrs. Tang set up a trap to frame Cook Xiao, and got her deed of selling herself to drive him out of Zhuangzi.

The Wen family may not care about this crazy daughter, which is a stain on the Wen family, but Miss Wen is really dead, and these servants who serve her may be punished by the master. It was only by being sold that he left Zhuangzi.

"Yufeng Building seems to be the Wen family's property." Zhan Feiyu paused, looked at He Sheng and asked again: "Is Second Miss Wen a concubine?"

Mrs. Wen speaks like a snake, and the second Miss Wen disliked her when she was alive and lost the face of the Wen family. She ignored her and threw her on Zhuangzi to fend for herself.

But after she died, Mrs. Wen stepped on the body of Second Miss Wen again to show her kindness and generosity as a aunt. The charge of the young lady's death was all pushed to the servant's head.

Soaking in the warm tub fifteen minutes later, Zhan Feiyu closed his eyes and thought about the Wen family again, "If Mrs. Wen has such a vicious and vicious temper, Second Miss Wen might have been driven crazy."

"Miss Wen's family is the head of talented women in the capital, and Miss Wen's family has been sending people to take care of her since Er Miss Wen was frightened and went crazy in her early years. I heard that the old lady of Wen's family disliked this concubine's granddaughter and lost face to the Wen family. It was Miss Wen who wanted to make her die of illness, and she was stopped by Miss Wen, who sent the people to Zhuangzi with great fanfare, so Mrs. Wen had no choice but to accept her thoughts."

He Nuan feels terrible when she thinks about it. She also had human life on her hands, but it was the life of the enemy, but in the back houses of these big families, let alone killing a servant, even her own family members are normal , human life is worthless.

"Ah Nuan, you said that I bought Mrs. Xiao, will the Wen family come to ask for someone?" Zhan Feiyu opened his eyes, and his red face that was smothered by the heat showed a gleam of excitement, "If Second Miss Wen Her madness was man-made, Cook Madam Xiao was afraid she would know something, and she ran away because she was afraid of being silenced, but the Wen family might not let her go."

"Miss?" He Nuan really didn't expect this, Zhejing made a big fuss in the dental store during the day, and Wen's family knew about it, so they must also know the whereabouts of Xiao's cook.

Zhan Feiyu thought about it, "It's okay if Cook Xiao is innocent and keeps her. If she is an accomplice, let the Wen family take her back."

"Yes." He Nuan agreed, recalling the brief contact with Cook Xiao, He Nuan couldn't tell whether she was an accomplice or not.
