After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

Chapter 656

Pei Wenlang and the others are already numb. A servant in the mansion, the young lady calls him grandpa, and her real grandpas are like grandchildren in front of her.

Do they dare to complain?dare not!
Zhou Chen, who was waiting on the side, came out from behind the tree.

Mu Qingyu said: "Record and file these objects!"

Zhou Chen said: "Yes, Miss!"

Looking at Zhou Chen who was also dressed in gray servant clothes and his inconspicuous old face, Pei Wenlang and the others had complicated expressions.

They had never looked down upon Zhou Chen as a house slave before, but who knew that this man was born as a scholar.

Zhou Chen said: "You follow me."

Pei Wenlang and the others looked at each other, and it happened that they returned the things, which belonged to the mighty Marquis Mansion, and Zhou Chen, they still had a score to settle.

Zhou Chen didn't avoid them, and directly sent the things back to the warehouse in front of them, and registered them in the register.Then he locked the warehouse, turned his head and said: "Okay, the things have been verified, and these 21 pieces are all real. You can go back! Today, Miss will give you a day off, and you will continue to work tomorrow. Don't delay!"

I know it's not that easy.

Pei Wenlang and the others knew this and had to tell Mu Qingyu directly, Zhou Chen couldn't make the decision.

Seeing Zhou Chen turn around, he was about to leave.Pei Wenlang immediately grabbed him: "Butler Zhou, take a step to speak!"

"Do you have anything else to do?"

Zhou Chen stopped and looked at them suspiciously.

Pei Wenlang and the others secretly hated that they could pretend.

It was still Pei Jinhai who was in a hurry, and said directly: "Now that the matter is over, should Housekeeper Zhou return the 50 taels of silver to us?"

"What money?"

Pei Wenlang didn't pretend anymore: "The complaint is five taels, we admit it. But since Steward Zhou didn't hire a lawyer, we should return the money from the lawyer. Butler Zhou, it's not that we are stingy, it's all hard money! Also, Steward Zhou, please raise your hand high!"

Zhou Chen said, "Oh?"

He glanced at several people, and said with a half-smile: "Did you win the lawsuit?"

"Win!" Isn't this a knowing question?
"I said to help you hire a litigator who is sure to win, since you won," Zhou Chen said flatly, "Didn't I help you?"

Pei Wenlang and the others: "... Help, we have helped." If it weren't for those letters and books, they might not be able to figure it out for a while, so the help must have helped, and they couldn't deny this.

Zhou Chen said: "Then it's settled? I'm your litigator, I helped you win the fight, did you realize the promised victory? Do you want to admit it now that you won the lawsuit?"

"No, you are all on your own, and you still charge so much?"

Zhou Chen stroked his beard and smiled: "I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding? I am the steward of the mighty Marquis Mansion, how can I be on my own with you?"

The faces of Pei Wenlang and the others suddenly turned ugly, how dare a housekeeper look down on them?

So what about a scholar?Scholars from decades ago have long since been unable to take the examination for fame, so is it still possible to show off their nobility here?

But I heard Zhou Chen say again slowly: "You are going to leave here in the future, and go to your own place to eat delicious food and drink hot food. Here, you are just staying here temporarily. So don't say that you are your own, Don't you say that you are self-declining, I am the first to not allow it."

Brother Pei Wenlang: "..."

"Steward Zhou," Pei Linxuan rolled his eyes, and immediately said with a smile on his face, "Steward Zhou, I would like to lend you a good word. But you know, we guys are poor now. We don't have much left. We have taken care of us, and this matter is also thanks to Steward Zhou, we are very grateful. However, can the lawyer fee be discounted because we have known each other for so long?"

Zhou Chen shook his head, and said kindly: "Brother Lin Xuan, this brother clearly settles the score, as much as agreed, if I make a discount, wouldn't it mean that everyone's face is worthless? Or, everyone looked at Pei Song Father and son are not happy when they are beaten dozens of times? Gold and silver are like dung, how many of you who have been masters and nobles are bigger than me, a little housekeeper, right?"

Pei Wenlang and the others still wanted to talk, Zhou Chen sighed, and said: "To tell you the truth, I usually don't earn much money, and if I take out what I earn, I will feel bad. Once you are in a bad mood, maybe you forget to ask the little lady for an antidote..."

Brother Pei Wenlang: "..."

Although they were very unwilling, they knew that the money would never come back.

A few people left resentfully in Zhou Chen's smiling eyes.

Pei Ji came back in the middle of the afternoon, and he went to inspect the village.

Mu Qingyu assigned him two guards with good martial arts.

Pei Ji also practiced martial arts when he was young, and now his body bones have been conditioned and strong by the medicinal diet.

He was just in his fifties, and he was in good spirits, and he couldn't stay idle.

He went there for three days this time, and he didn't even know that Pei Song filed a complaint and that Pei Wenlang and the others wanted to return some of the jade in the mansion.

Knowing that Mu Qingyu was here, he immediately said, "Ask the kitchen to cook more dishes that the young lady likes. Is the young lady in Danyi Garden?"

"Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

Pei Ji raised his eyes and saw Mu Qingyu coming this way. He walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Yu'er, you haven't come to see grandpa for a few days, are you busy again?"

Mu Qingyu looked at Pei Ji, who couldn't see any leg problems with her prosthetics, and was very satisfied. Her well-designed prosthetics were getting better and better with her grandfather. Of course, she was happy that her grandfather was so fast-paced.

She said: "I came to see grandpa yesterday, but you went to Zhuangzi, no, I have been waiting for you!"

"If I knew Yu'er was coming, I wouldn't go to Zhuangzi!" Pei Ji smiled.

The two talked and chatted, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time.

Nie Shan looked at the backs of the grandparents and grandchildren, and his face was also cheerful. It's great that the young lady is here. Because of the appearance of the young lady, the head of the family has recovered, and the mighty Marquis Mansion finally looks like a mansion, and their days have passed. There is more hope.

The little lady is really capable.

If the little lady hadn't come, he wouldn't even dare to imagine what the current Mighty Marquis Mansion would look like, what would the current Patriarch look like?
It is the young lady who has a spirit in the sky, so that such a powerful and lovely young lady is sent to the Patriarch.

The grandparents and grandchildren were talking in the hall, while Mu Qingyu cooked tea by herself, and the whole hall was enveloped in the fragrance of tea, which made people look clear after smelling it.

Mu Qingyu asked suddenly: "Grandpa, does the Luo Mansion on the other side of Nanming Street have some connection with the mighty Marquis Mansion?"

Pei Ji was startled, his hands trembled, and half of the cup of tea was shaken out.

He hurriedly put it down, and said with a smile: "The Luo Mansion over there is the Mansion of Attending Scholars, and has nothing to do with us!"

Mu Qingyu was also curious: "Isn't there a rule in this dynasty that the residences of officials of the third rank and above can be called mansions, and the bachelors are the fourth rank, right? Or from the fourth rank, how can their residences be hung in front of the door? Luo Mansion?"

Looking at her granddaughter's bright eyes, Pei Ji felt that she had some deep meaning in her question, so she said, "It seems that Yu'er knows a lot about court affairs, so does Yu'er know who our prime minister is?"

"Prime Minister Ming, Master Ming Chongjun!"

Pei Ji smiled and said: "That's right, there is only one prime minister now. In the past, the court was divided into left and right prime ministers. This Ming prime minister is actually the left prime minister. Thirty years ago, there was a right prime minister in the court. Then The right chancellor is Mr. Luo. Mr. Luo is frugal, scrupulous and respectful to the public, and loves the people like a son. After Mr. Luo became an official because of his poor health, the emperor no longer appointed the right prime minister, so after so many years, There will be no right hand anymore."

"Because of the emperor's admiration and praise for old Prime Minister Luo, although Prime Minister Luo's son is only a fourth-rank bachelor, the plaque with the word "Luo Mansion" written by the emperor himself is allowed to be used by the descendants of Prime Minister Luo. "

Mu Qingyu said clearly: "So that's how it is!"

She said again: "Grandpa, I went to Baiyuan Mountain a few days ago and met a lay monk. Her lay family's surname is Luo. She seems to know Grandpa and Uncle!"

Pei Ji's hand shook again. This time, the entire teacup was overturned, and he hurried to wipe it, looking a little flustered.

Mu Qingyu took the clean soft cloth next to him, did it himself, and said casually, "Grandpa, is there anything I can't know?"

Pei Ji was stunned for a moment, then he let out a long sigh and said, "It's not that you can't know, the dusty past many years ago is related to your uncle..."

"I see!"

Pei Ji sighed and said: "30 years ago, your great-grandmother was still alive, and she and Mrs. Luo Xiang were good friends. At that time, how old was your uncle, and Luo Xiang's granddaughter was only one year old. Your great-grandmother took your uncle to Participating in Luo Xiang's granddaughter's birthday banquet, during the Catch Zhou ceremony, Luo Xiang's granddaughter grabbed a pen for the first time, and the second time, she directly grabbed your uncle's hand who was playing on the side, which caused a burst of laughter. The family was originally on good terms, but your great-grandmother and Mrs. Luo Xiang joked about getting married."

Mu Qingyu couldn't help laughing when he thought of that scene.

"Later, the two children were childhood sweethearts, and the marriage was settled. It's just that when your uncle was able to marry, Luo Xiang passed away, and the granddaughter of the Luo family had to observe mourning for three years, so the marriage was delayed. When your uncle was 20 years old, Mrs. Luo Xiang It's also gone, the three-year filial piety period for the granddaughter of the Luo family has only been observed for two years, and another three years have been added!"

Mu Qingyu: "..."

This is really a long way.

In the Eastern Xia Dynasty, due to the previous dynasty's emphasis on civility and despise military affairs, treacherous officials were in power, there were no brave generals in the court, and the frontiers were in constant war, and they retreated step by step. The level of rank, and no one is superior.

The Right Prime Minister's Mansion is the home of civil servants, and the Mighty Marquis Mansion is the posthumous military officer's mansion. Speaking of which, they are indeed well-matched.

Pei Ji said: "At that time, the Luo family also sent someone to spread the word, saying that if your uncle can't wait, the marriage can also be dropped. After all, it was their reason for the delay. Even if your uncle withdraws, the Luo family will never complain However, your uncle said that filial piety is a great gift, and the daughter of the Luo family keeps filial piety for her loved ones. He naturally supports it and is willing to wait for the daughter of the Luo family to observe filial piety before discussing marriage!"

Mu Qingyu understood.

When her uncle was 20 years old, the daughter of the Luo family added another three years of filial piety, and she had to be 23 years old to get married.

At that time, Mu Mingyuan started to deal with the Pei family.

Sure enough, Pei Ji continued: "It's a pity that your uncle didn't wait for the three-year period. More than a year later, your mother had an accident, and there were many doubts. When your uncle and I rushed to Mu's house, Mu's family said that your mother died of a sudden illness. Unexpectedly, the coffin was buried early, and your uncle wanted to open the coffin, but was rejected. Your uncle wanted to find out the cause of your mother's death, but at that time, he was only a seventh-rank Yiwei Lang, and I was only a fifth-rank man at that time. And Mu Mingyuan It is even more difficult to find out the truth after being a third-rank official, and then, the Mu family did a lot of things to the Pei family, and then your uncle invited him to the frontier!"

It was a really bad memory.

Mu Qingyu's expression became serious.

Pei Ji also said with a heavy expression: "Originally, the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion was married to the Prime Minister You's mansion, who had become an official, and they were well-matched, but after the Marquis of Weiwu's mansion fell, they were not worthy, so when your uncle left Beijing, he left a letter A document to dissolve the engagement! But I didn't expect that the girl from the Luo family would refuse her parents, brother-in-law and sister-in-law to arrange a marriage for her after the filial piety period expired. She said that if she hadn't kept her filial piety, she would have been the wife of the Pei family, and the men of the Pei family were waiting for her For four years, she has never broken promises and abandoned marriages, and she will not be the one who broke promises and abandoned marriages. As for the divorce letter, it was just a helpless move by the Pei family who did not want to drag her down, and she couldn't accept this result with peace of mind. about."

In fact, Mu Qingyu had guessed it a long time ago. That day, she felt that Huizhu was very concerned about the Pei family and uncle's affairs. After she came back, she had someone check it out.

Only then did I realize that my uncle had been engaged before.

In the past, she wondered why her uncle Pei Shizhen was 22 years old when he left Beijing, but he didn't marry a wife and have children. It turned out to be the reason.

Pei Ji's words were not finished yet: "At that time, Luo girl's father was in the middle of the fifth rank. Because Luo girl wanted to keep her marriage promise and refused to remarry, that bastard Mu Mingyuan also suppressed the Luo family. Luo girl She immediately became a monk! Now, she has been a monk for more than ten years."

He looked at Mu Qingyu: "Miss Luo... is she okay?"

He asked this question a little reluctantly, and felt it was redundant.

A charming young lady who was raised and raised, went to the nunnery alone to live a life of simple tea and light food, clear lamps and ancient Buddhas, and it has been more than ten years, can it be okay?
Mu Qingyu nodded and said, "She's fine!"

Pei Ji was startled.

Mu Qingyu said: "Very calm, very safe, uncontested, calm and at ease!"

She now somewhat understands why Master Jingqing never shaves her, saying that she is not destined to die.

Her destiny is her uncle!

She still has her uncle in her heart, so the karmic relationship is hard to end, unless she forgets this relationship at some point, it will be considered that the karmic relationship is really broken.

A look of sadness appeared on Pei Ji's face, and his voice was low: "They are all good boys, but it's a pity that fate tricks them!"

He said: "Yu'er, go and see her more when you have time..." He changed his words again: "Forget it, it's better not to disturb her peace!"

The atmosphere was too heavy, and the grandfather and grandson were speechless for a moment.

The matter involving Pei Shichen cannot be continued. This is the pain in Pei Ji's heart as a father.

And when Mu Qingyu thought of the agreement that Pei Shizhen made with the emperor in order to prevent Mu Mingyuan from killing her, he was also very upset!
