Blessed

Chapter 63
Mrs. Mu went to the Zhuyu Pavilion and explained the situation in person. I'm afraid I can't hide this matter, so it's better to say it openly.On weekdays, the affairs of Zhuyu Pavilion are taken care of by shopkeeper Feng, she basically doesn't show up, but today's situation is special, so she came over to explain to the guests in person.

"The third girl in our family is pure in nature. She was coaxed by others to give her the red gold bracelet to a best friend. The child is young and ignorant. She reported to the official last night and recovered the things. However, my son is still in the yamen right now. It will be used as evidence in it, and it will not be able to be taken out for a while, and it will have to be polished and washed again when it is brought back in a few days."

"I'm really sorry for this matter, everyone. In this case, today I changed a filigree and pedicled crabapple. It's still the old rule. Except for this step, all the girls bought it at Zhuyu Pavilion today. All other jewelry will be given a discount."

These guests are all ladies from famous families, they must not show their faces in the front shop, and the lottery on the first day of each month is also taken to the main room in the backyard for the girls to auction and buy.This main room is dedicated to receiving them. It is full of high-quality yellow rosewood furniture and refreshments. The floor of the main room is covered with gold silk brocade and coral carpet, which is magnificent.

Even the other jewelry they bought in Zhuyu Pavilion was sent in by the shopkeeper for them to choose.

They are all regular customers of Zhuyu Pavilion, and the double-stalked crabapple Huabuyao in the golden nanmu box is also exquisite and beautiful, not inferior to the red gold bracelet, so they didn't say anything about it.

At that time, someone curiously asked what was going on, and Mrs. Mu laughed, "The child is too young and ignorant, so it's not a big deal."

Yuzhu went to study with the female teacher in the morning. During the lunch break, Aunt Hong really came out to beg her. Several maids said that she was not feeling well and was resting. Go beg the old lady, Yulan has been in poor health since she was a child, and there is not even a warm basin in the ancestral hall. The old lady said that she will be detained for half a month, eating and drinking in it, and she has to kneel for three hours a day. She is a little girl How can I bear it, Miss Si, I beg you, the old lady listens to you the most..."

Baiji Baishao stood under the verandah and persuaded, "Auntie, our girl stayed up half the night yesterday, and she didn't feel well when she came back from class in the morning. She is sleeping soundly now, so Auntie should be considerate. Besides, the third girl The matter is decided by the old lady and the second wife, so it is useless to ask our girl."

Aunt Hong's thinking was also simple, the Zhuyu Pavilion belonged to Yuzhu, and the bracelet was made by her people, thinking that as long as Yuzhu talked to her, the old lady would be able to release her, but she didn't know that the old lady was determined to punish Yulan.

Aunt Hong stayed here for a while, but she couldn’t see anyone and ran to the old lady to cry. The old lady was so angry that she felt a little uncomfortable today, so she called Xing’er to come out and tell Aunt Hong, “The old lady said, If Auntie is making a fuss, half a month of confinement will become a month, and Auntie shouldn't be messing around for the sake of the third girl. According to the servant girl, it's more serious to go to the ancestral hall to deliver some bedding at this moment."

Xing'er is not very old, but she is an old man by the old lady's side. She was raised by the old lady's side since she was a child, and she began to take care of her when she was ten years old. Now she is twenty years old, and her temperament is very calm.

Aunt Hong didn't dare to make a fuss at all, and after listening to Xing'er's words, she sent a few quilts to the ancestral hall. There was a woman guarding the door, so she couldn't even enter the door, and the woman brought in the things she sent.

When the sun was setting, the couple of the Tian family knelt at the gate of the Bo Mansion, crying and begging the people of the Bo Mansion to spare their daughter's life.

With such a kneeling, there will be more people watching the excitement. The people living in this alley of the uncle's mansion are considered to be the children of aristocratic families.After the old lady found out, she was furious in the room, "I instigated the young master of the house to do bad things at a young age, and now I dare to kneel at the door of the house and beg for mercy!"

The eldest wife, Mrs. Lin, advised, "Mother, don't be angry, take care of yourself."

The old lady sighed, "I'm really angry, that dead maid, stupid and disobedient, what can I do in the future."

"Mother, what do you say about the outside world?" Lin asked again.

The old lady went to see Mrs. Mu, and Mrs. Mu opened his mouth and said, "For the good reputation of the uncle's house, this matter must not be pursued any further. It is said that the two children are ignorant to the public. People who insist on pursuing outsiders will chew on it. Why don't you go Talk to the official office, you can just get the things back, and the child's matter will not be pursued." Tian Yuetong is only ten years old, a half-old child, and their uncle's house can really care about a child.

The old lady nodded, "That's the reason, let's go outside and talk about it, outsiders in the province watched the excitement, and it will be spread all over the capital tomorrow."

Mrs. Mu said, "In that case, I'll go out and send people away."

Mrs. Mu went to the main entrance of the uncle's mansion, the couple were still kneeling and crying, she went out and said, "Who? Come to the gate of the uncle's mansion to cry properly? If there is something to tell someone, but there is nothing Said, when you come, you will kneel and cry, what do you want to do?"

Tian Fu wiped away his tears, "Greetings to my wife, this villain is the shopkeeper of Tianji Jewelry Shop, and I'm here today for my daughter's business. I know it's my daughter's fault, so I shouldn't have instigated the third girl in the house to steal the bracelet." For the little girl, the little girl was fascinated for a while, please forgive the little girl, the child is too young and ignorant, and the villain will teach him well after he understands it."

Mrs. Mu pursed her lower lips, "So it's for this matter, the girls in our house have never seen such things, and there are a lot of gold-embellished jewelry at the bottom, why bother to get the jewelry from Zhuyu Pavilion, our house The third girl is simple-minded, your girl coaxed her to take something, and we found out when we came back and asked, it was a big deal after all, so I reported it to the official, and found the bracelet in your house. But it was a little girl after all, We don't care about this matter, and we will talk to the government when we turn around, you go and take your child back, you can remember it in the future, educate it well, and don't lie to other people's things."

Tian Fu knelt down and said, "Thank you Madam, Madam is a good person."

Mrs. Mu didn't say much, turned around and entered the mansion, watched the bustle from the side, and probably figured out what was going on, then turned around and talked to the masters, and the masters also laughed, "After all, it belongs to the Shijing family, A good girl from the official family is very good friends with the sisters of the merchant family, so something will happen. Uncle Yongyi's mansion has become rich and powerful in recent years, and the girls in the family have never neglected them. The third girl from the concubine wears , which one is not a good thing, and people believe it when they go out and say that they are serious girls, so it can be seen that the wives in the house are all good. But they are not bad at the moment, didn’t they ask the Yamen to release them? Tell me, a The youngest daughter of the merchant’s family, if you kill her, you will kill her.”

Most of the aristocratic children think about the same way.

A few days later, when this matter was discussed in Beijing, it was said that the third girl in Bo's house was innocent and easy to deceive, but no one said that she was vain. This reputation is very ugly.

Because the uncle's house did not pursue the matter, Tian Yuetong was beaten twenty times and released. The injury was not serious, his butt was so badly beaten, and he had to recuperate for a while.

This matter is considered to be in the past, and the shopkeeper Feng and the craftsmen of Zhuyu Pavilion have also been alerted, and they will be more cautious in taking care of the shop in the future.

The bracelet was also sent back to the uncle's mansion a few days later, and the Mu family specially sent someone to send a lot of fruit, tea and water to the yamen.The bracelet was going to be washed and polished by Erniang Qiu. Yuzhu wrapped it in silk cloth and put it in a mahogany box, and sent it to Erniang Qiu herself.

She is very familiar with Qiu Erniang, Yuzhu calls her Aunt Qiu and Yue'e sister.

She handed the bracelet to Erniang Qiu, it was still in a new condition, there was basically no difference, but after all, it was an item that the nobles wanted to buy, and it was not good to have other people's fingerprints on it.

"Aunt Qiu, look at this bracelet, it needs to be polished and cleaned again."

Qiu Erniang took a few glances through the bracelet, and said with a smile, "I've heard about that, let me tell you, after all, it was handled by someone else, lest the nobles think it's inappropriate to re-polish and clean it, why don't you put it on?" The emerald jade is removed, and the gold is melted and filigreeed for a new pattern, so that the nobles will be happier."

Yuzhu smiled and said, "Then I will trouble Aunt Qiu."

"It's very troublesome. It only takes a few days. It doesn't matter." Qiu Erniang put down the bracelet and called the little maid to fetch fruit for Yuzhu to eat. She is only a daughter. She has watched Yuzhu grow up for more than two years. It hurts to treat her like a half-daughter.

Yuzhu was eating the fruit and talking to Qiu Erniang, "Aunt Qiu, this time the incident was instigated by the girl's family on the side of sister Yue'e's father and brother-in-law. I asked Yulan, and that girl's mouth was also broken. , she told me that she even told that girl where you are, so she was afraid that you would get into trouble later on.”

"What's this? It's not a problem. I, on the contrary, want to see his surprised face when he sees me." Qiu Erniang has been thinking about it for a few years. She has earned a lot of money. Living in a big house, someone takes care of her, and Yue'e can live in luxury. She is still very dissatisfied. She doesn't remember that wolf-hearted man for a long time. I'm so angry, look, now I'm living better without you.

Seeing that she didn't care, Yuzhu felt more relieved, and asked her, "Aunt Qiu, where is Sister Yue'e?"

Qiu Erniang smiled and said, "She went shopping, that girl can't stay at home, so she can sit for a while while making jewelry."

Yuzhu also laughed, "Then I'll wait here for Sister Yue'e's return. I haven't talked to her for a long time. I miss her so much. I just stay here for lunch at noon."

"Succeed, I'll let the cook make your favorite food, cook a fish head tofu, braise the fish pieces in soy sauce, stew a pork rib soup, and stir-fry two side dishes. The pickles made by the cook are good, you can try them later."
