The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 211
There is an old saying that makes sense: barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.The former has nothing to rely on, and there is nothing to lose, so why bother to care about some useless things?On the contrary, the latter, just because they have more, have more scruples.

Ouyang's family also claimed to have a reputation of nearly a hundred years in Yangzhou. When the grandsons of each house had important events such as weddings, funerals, and birthdays, the ancestral halls would be overcrowded, and the locals were notoriously lively.But today, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Ouyang's family was chased to the gate by a rascal, shouting and scolding, wouldn't this embarrassment be lost?

When the chief steward of Ouyang's family found the second master, the second master was still in a state of intoxication, unaware of the evil he had caused.It was only when he was woken up by a bucket of cold water that he realized that he had been played by someone.

"Damn Ma Tingyuan, what did you say to ensure that I won and not lose? It turned out that he was planning. No, I will go to him to settle the score, otherwise I will not be able to swallow this bad breath!" The second master Ouyang got up and was about to go out. Ouyang The old lady beat the edge of the kang with a beauty hammer in resentment: "You bastard, that's obviously a trap made by someone to lure you into the urn. Now that you have lost money and lost things, how can Ma Tingyuan admit it?"

Ouyang Huiling interjected unconvinced: "Old ancestor, do we deserve this loss?"

Seeing that her grandmother was blushing and her neck was thick, Huiping was afraid that she would not be able to raise her breath, so she hurriedly scolded her cousin in a low voice: "Ma Tingyuan is the beloved son of Princess Zhaoyuan, his kind of honorable son has always been stubborn, and he can do anything by fighting fiercely. Two Uncle was cheated, maybe it was something he had planned for a long time."

The old lady saw that among these juniors, Huiping was the only one who had some knowledge, and she was relieved: "Ping girl is right, now that we have lost face, the most important thing is how to get over this embarrassment first, we can't Ask the opposite door to poke our spines, and watch our jokes!"

The second master Ouyang and the others clearly understood that the opposite door that the old lady mentioned naturally refers to the Xing family.

"That's according to what mother wants. What should I do?" The second master immediately lost his mind.The old lady Ouyang spat: "You are the man of the family, don't you need me, a dying old woman, to give you advice on such trivial matters?"

The old lady coughed fiercely, and scolded the second master Ouyang who didn't know how to improve.The second master was scolded bloody in front of his daughter and niece, he was very ashamed, so he didn't say anything, just stood in the corner with his head bowed sullenly.

Hui Ping hurriedly laughed and said, "Don't be angry, old ancestor. The second uncle has cleared everything in his heart. It's just that I don't dare to make decisions on such a big matter, so I asked the old lady to give me a clear indication."

"Hey, if your father is here, why bother with me!" The old lady held Huiping's hand, her eyes filled with tears.Huiping couldn't help herself anymore when she thought of her father who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and cried together with her grandmother.The second master Ouyang stood there very uncomfortable, wishing he could find a hole in the ground and get in.

After finally waiting for the old lady to cry to her heart's content, she stopped her mourning slightly, and then she ordered: "First appease the rogue outside the door, how can I find a way to get him into the yard, so that the neighbors won't see the jokes?" .Invite Shuntian Fu Yin here again. No one else can control this kind of matter, but he has to be the master of our family. After all, Princess Zhaoyuan is not an ordinary person, and it is a last resort, so she has to pay to redeem the house deed."

The old lady had already made plans to break the boat. The two sisters, Huiling and Huiping, looked at each other, but they both saw uneasiness and apprehension in each other's eyes.

Jiang Shihuan, Yin of Shuntian Mansion, "waited" for the invitation from Ouyang's family in the yamen, and as soon as the guard came in to report back, he immediately took a sedan chair and went straight to Fengwei Hutong.The people of Ouyang's family only thought that the golden signboard of the fifth prince was effective, but they didn't know that it was the warm silver bill in Jiang Shihuan's arms that caused the trouble.

When Jiang Shihuan saw the old lady Ouyang, his face was full of surprise: "Why is the old lady so haggard?" After listening to the old lady's explanation pretendingly, Jiang Shihuan looked embarrassed: "To tell the truth, old lady, I just saw that scumbag at the door. After a few glances, he is an acquaintance."

The old lady Ouyang was overjoyed: "It turns out that Mr. Jiang has an old relationship with him? That's great. I hope Mr. Jiang can deal with it a little bit more!"

Jiang Shihuan smiled wryly and said: "Who does the old lady think that rogue is? It's actually the natal brother of a concubine's favorite concubine of the prince of Guoan. This rogue is very famous in the capital, and he is used to collecting money for the prince of Guoan. He doesn't know how to do such a deceitful thing How much! Old madam, if you change someone else, not to mention getting a paper deed for you, even if you send someone to arrest that rogue, there is nothing wrong with it. But"

Old Mrs. Ouyang smiled miserably: "I understand what Mr. Jiang means." She asked her close nurse to take out the money box: "There are 3 taels in here, please Mr. Jiang to mediate, and at least ask the young master outside to return the house deed .”

Jiang Shihuan took the money box, and walked out with the reluctant second master.

The two sisters, Huiling and Huiping, came out from behind the screen, and smiled lightly to comfort the old lady Ouyang. Just when the three of them thought that the matter would be certain, the second master Ouyang turned back with a blue face, followed by an embarrassing Jiang Shihuan.

"I'm really sorry, old lady, I, I didn't expect that Pompey would be so ignorant!"

The old lady Ouyang hurriedly asked why, and Jiang Shihuan lamented: "That kid has been yelling and cursing outside the door all day, saying that your family has no sincerity, so."

"So what's the matter?" The old lady Ouyang raised her voice, supported her withered body with all her strength, and stared straight at Jiang Shihuan.

"That's why the rogue wants to sue the government and force the old lady to move out of Fengwei Hutong tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, the old lady felt that the sky was dark and her feet were hanging in the air.Jiang Shihuan was at a loss and said: "The old lady needs to make up her mind earlier, that poppi knows the friendship between our two families, and threatened to go to Shuntian Mansion to hand over the papers tomorrow. Old lady, it's not that I'm going to make things difficult for you, but because of our friendship." It's friendship, but if the other party takes the house deed and the IOU of the second master Ouyang and goes to Shuntian Mansion to make trouble, there is no other way, so we have to act impartially."

The second master Ouyang shouted angrily: "What are you talking about? Don't you still plan to ask someone to coax us away?"

Jiang Shihuan's face changed with a "swish", and he said with a half-smile: "Although I will not force you to leave, but I am an official ordered by the court after all, and it is my duty to make decisions for the people. Otherwise, the emperor will blame me You can't afford to eat!"

The old lady Ouyang carefully looked at Jiang Shihuan's expression, and found that the other party was not angry, and then realized that she was probably lifting a rock to smash her in the foot.But why did Jiang Shihuan become so fast?The old lady just saw her second son rushing into the house angrily. Could it be that this useless thing had some quarrel with Jiang Shihuan?
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Our foundation in the capital is shallow, many things are done by groping, and sometimes we accidentally offend some nobles, and I don't even know it. Mr. Jiang and our old lady have also been friends for many years. Shuntian Mansion If it is possible, I would like to ask Mr. Jiang to connect us with Princess Zhaoyuan, and we will meet each other, and if there is any misunderstanding, just clarify it face to face."

Jiang Shihuan put his hand back from holding the teacup, and he heard a rough gasp, and his tone was full of helplessness: "The old lady and I are so polite, it would be despicable for me to hide anything. Although the rogue outside the door is from the National Security Bureau It’s a slave, but as long as you give me money, you can do anything, even if you sell your master for glory, it’s not uncommon.”

The old lady Ouyang was startled: "What does Mr. Jiang mean, is this a deliberate conspiracy?"

Jiang Shihuan made a smirk: "The old lady is such a smart person, can't she guess who she offended?"

The old lady was horrified, and instinctively thought it was impossible: "No, the Xing family doesn't have that much ability!"

"That's the end of the official talk. As for whether to believe it or not, the old lady can make up her own mind." After speaking, she got up and was about to leave.The old lady Ouyang was about to get up from the bed in a hurry: "Master Jiang, please stay!" As if she wanted to ask the truth.

Jiang Shihuan sighed helplessly: "Old lady, don't limit your vision. You only see that the Xing family's small family is no big deal, but you don't know that the people who help his family are all famous people. It's not good for the old lady to offend anyone, but she just offends that person." Young master, he is making a fuss, who in the court doesn't shrink his neck?"

The old lady Ouyang said anxiously: "This is what I said, our family has always kept its own law and order. Whoever offended you, Mr. Jiang will give you a clear explanation."

Jiang Shihuan pondered for a while, dipped his fingers in the cold tea in the teacup, and wrote the three small characters "Zhenfusi" on the black table.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiuyan had just finished washing and washing, when the servant girl came to report that Miss Ping from Ouyang's family wanted to see the girl.

Mei Lian was laying vegetables on the kang table, upon hearing this, she spat lightly: "It's this time, and I still think about putting on airs! If they are really sincere, it's their old lady who will personally apologize to the girl!"

Xiuyan pinched a bunch of purple Linglong flowers and put them on the tips of her hair, and sneered, "I almost killed my mother and Brother Fu, thinking that everything will be fine after an apology?" Xiuyan took the remaining bunches of Linglong flowers Throwing it into the crystal plate, the eyes are full of determination.

And here, Ouyang Huiping, surrounded by women, entered the back house of Xing's family in a state of anxiety.Every time she took a step, she was afraid that a monster would rush out of the corner and devour her.Today's Xing family almost drove them to a dead end. The old lady didn't say anything, but she was already annoyed by her wrong decision at the beginning, and sending herself now was nothing more than an apology to the Xing family.

"Miss Ouyang, please," the two little maids in front of the door pulled open the felt curtain, isolating the surrounded servants from the curtain.Ouyang Huiping's personal maid wanted to continue to follow up, but was stopped by the little maid with a smile.

Huiping bravely stepped in, the room was filled with the fragrance of narcissus, a few well-dressed maids served at the door of the main room with food boxes, seeing the strange Huiping coming in, she couldn't help but take a few extra glances.

"Girl, Miss Huiping from the Ouyang Mansion at the opposite door has arrived."

Ouyang Huiping only heard a burst of crisp footsteps, and then the bead curtain was lifted lightly, and the person who made her feel like an enemy finally appeared in front of her eyes.
