======================
After a long time, Zhao Yutang finally spoke, still in a calm tone, saying: "Since she has done something wrong, it is good for her to reflect on herself. Let the old lady make the decision on this matter. If she allows Pei
If she comes back, let her come back. If the old lady doesn't allow it, don't mention it."
Mrs. Feng couldn't help but feel happy. She quickly lowered her eyes to hide the joy in her eyes and whispered, "Yes, I know."
Zhao Yutiao never mentioned Pei Xin'er again, and the matter was simply ignored.
Early the next morning, Zhao Yutiao received an order from the palace and was summoned by the emperor. Although he was in Dingyou period and was not engaged in public duties, it did not hinder his personal relationship with the emperor, so he put on his plain clothes and went to the emperor.
Walk out the door.
Turning around the corridor, he saw a group of people standing in the courtyard from the corner of his eye. The butler was talking to them. He frowned slightly and asked, "Who are those people? I don't know that the government has established rules and you are not allowed to do anything without permission."
Is the gathering noisy?”
The boy next to him, Quan Xing, hurriedly bowed and replied: "Sir, those are the people sent by Zhuangzi to receive the monthly regulations, and they did not gather here intentionally."
Zhao Yutiao's heart moved, he stopped and looked at the people. After hesitating for a moment, he called Quan Xing and gave some instructions. Quan Xing was stunned, but he still respectfully said "yes" and then
Withdrew.
Zhao Yutiao took a deep look at those people, then turned around and strode away without stopping.
But he said that the people sent by Yu Gangze finally got this month's monthly report, and the information that the housekeeper wanted him to inquire about had been heard last night, so he planned to go back.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a man wearing the same green robe and hat standing behind him. He was only twenty-seven or eighty years old, with a mustache on his mouth, looking at him and smiling slightly.
"This...what do you want?" He opened his mouth, but found that he had never seen this person before, and naturally he didn't know his name, so he could only vaguely ask directly.
The man pulled him aside with a smile, hid in the shade of a tree, and said furtively: "Are you the person sent by the housekeeper Yu Gangze from Dingxiang?"
He nodded, looked at the other party inexplicably, and asked: "Who are you? Do you have anything to do with our steward Yu?"
The man laughed again and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, but I heard that you were asking about Aunt Pei last night. Did something happen to Aunt Pei in the village?"
He suddenly became alert and shook his head quickly: "No, it's okay. Aunt Pei is fine now!"
The man smiled strangely, stretched out his hand and stuffed something into his hand. Without looking, he felt the shape of silver coins inside.
The man then came closer and said, "But how come I heard that Aunt Pei was seriously ill in Zhuangzi and she didn't recover for a few days? Although she was an aunt, she was pampered and raised in the house. How could she
Will you get used to life in that kind of country place? Even if you are seriously ill and die suddenly, it is not uncommon, right?"
He immediately started sweating and understood what the other party meant. However, he was just a small servant outside the general's mansion. Even if Pei Xin'er was just a concubine, to him, she was the kind of person who was aloof and could not be offended lightly.
How could he dare to do something treasonous? Therefore, the other party's words were like a big stone weighing on his heart. He suddenly felt that the silver in his hand was so heavy that he could hardly lift it.
"This...how is this possible..." He refuted weakly, but his tone was very erratic. After all, the amount of silver in his hand was unprecedented.
A trace of disdain flashed in the other party's eyes, and he said: "Of course, you can't decide this matter alone. You might as well go back and discuss it with Butler Yu... Don't forget, the current head of the General's Mansion
My mother is a grandma, and the money and fate of you people are just a matter of a word from my grandma!"
Naturally, he knew how powerful it was. He hurriedly wiped his sweat and said tremblingly: "This... is natural. I... will explain it to the housekeeper."
The other party then smiled with satisfaction, looked at him again, then turned and left.
He stayed there for a long time, until there was almost no one in the yard, someone woke him up from his trance and drove him away. He suddenly woke up, felt that his hands were very heavy, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly turned around
Just go outside.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the door, he saw a tall and powerful man, exuding a fierce aura, walking towards him and asked: "Are you from the village in Dingxiang?"
There was another "thump" in his heart. He tightened the money bag in his hand and felt a little guilty. He was just a country man. Being able to enter the general's mansion and become a servant was already a blessing for his ancestors. How could he have done it before?
Have you ever encountered such a complicated thing?
Looking at the man, he had once seen the heroic appearance of his master, General Yongwei, from afar, and remembered that the guards around the general seemed to have such an imposing manner. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
"You're just a villain. What do you want from this guard?" He nodded hurriedly, bowed his head, and said with a groveling smile.
The guard looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and said: "Go back and tell Butler Yu that Aunt Pei lives in the village. He must serve her carefully. If anything happens, there will be no mercy."
he!"
His heart trembled again, wondering why these people were all here for Aunt Pei? Sure enough, did he cause trouble yesterday by asking around about Aunt Pei? He didn't dare to argue anything at the moment, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes.
, Yes, I have remembered it, and I will definitely tell the housekeeper when I get back, please rest assured, the guard!"
The guard looked at him, said nothing, turned around and left. He watched the guard's back go away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to wipe the cold sweat, calmed down, and hurriedly walked towards the door.
Walk outside.
People say that the water in wealthy families is deep, and he has now fully understood this, so he did not dare to stay any longer, jumped on his horse and hurried out of the city, galloping all the way towards Dingxiang.
After galloping all the way, he finally returned to Zhuangzi before dark. Although the conditions in Zhuangzi were incomparable to those in the General's Mansion and the life was much harder, he felt that it was good here no matter how he looked at it now.
The master's house in the capital is too complicated, and a little guy like him can't survive at all. If you stay in a place like that, you will be in trouble sooner or later!
