Lou said: "Hu Shu is old, it's time to oil it, the sound is very harsh."

Zhao Han held a knife and clasped his fists: "Madam, today there are evil slaves who trespassed in Jingxingyuan, and I have taken them all and locked them in the woodshed."

The maid Dongfu suddenly stepped forward, whispered in Lou's ear, and repeated the whole story.

Lou smiled and praised: "Brother Han, you are fine."

Zhao Han replied, "It's a matter of my share."

Lou said to the other servants: "You are also very good."

All the servants were overjoyed, and the reward was definitely indispensable.

The old fifth stepped forward and said, "Young madam..."

"Don't worry," Lou interrupted immediately, "I haven't figured out the matter here yet, take it slowly one by one."

The old fifth stopped talking, but he didn't speak.

Lou suddenly scolded: "come here, drag out the slave who eats inside and outside!"

Who eats inside and out?

Of course it's Mrs. Ling!

Even if it is not, it must be, because she is the old lady's person, she must pack one today and show it to the old lady and the old lady.

Mrs. Ling was dragged into the courtyard and shouted in horror: "Madam, spare your life, you are wronged!"

Fei Chun was also shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Madam, please forgive my mother, my mother did not collude with outsiders."

Lou said to Mo Xiang, "Let me ask you, what are the crimes of this slave?"

Mo Xiang didn't even need to read the manuscript, just opened his mouth and came: "I have an account book, so I won't mention the detailed account, and the odds will be simply erased. In the fourth year of the apocalypse, Ling's greedy Moke deducted 47 taels. In the fifth year of the apocalypse, Ling's greedy Moke deducted 79 Two. In the sixth year of the apocalypse, the Ling family deducted 120 five taels for corruption..."

Fei Lin, the chief steward of Jing Xingyuan, Madam Ling's husband, and Fei Chun's father, was not at home at the moment, and was ordered to go to the farm to collect summer grain and rent children -- Fei Yinghuan's name was Arita.

Madam Ling shivered with fright, and frantically kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Call me!" Lou shouted angrily.

Fei Chun could only ask Fei Ruhe for help, crying, "Young master, save my mother."

Fei Ruhe softened a little and said, "Mother..."

"To shut up!"

Lou scolded, and ordered: "Beat it hard, it's useless to kill and maim!"

"Ah... madam, spare your life!"

Madam Ling let out a shrill scream, perhaps because she lost her mind in pain, and finally shouted: "Young Madam, I'm from the old Madam, you can't kill me like this!"

"Kill me, kill me!" Lou became more and more angry.

Seeing that Mrs. Ling was beaten to pieces, Zhao Han stepped forward and reminded: "Madam, at least you have to show some sympathy for the young master."

The young master in these words refers to both Fei Yinghuan and Fei Ruhe.

Just because Mrs. Ling's husband was a book boy who grew up with Fei Yinghuan.And Mrs. Ling's son is a book boy who grew up with Fei Ruhe.

Lou let out a burst of anger, heard Zhao Han's plea, raised his hand and said, "Stop."

Mrs. Ling was about to faint.

Lou asked, "Do you know the crime?"

"Convicted, convicted." Mrs. Ling said weakly.

Lou asked again, "Who are you from?"

Mrs. Ling cried and replied, "I was born as the young lady's person, and died as the young lady's ghost."

Lou sneered: "Send it for treatment. If you deduct the monthly money from the servants in the hospital, you can make up for it yourself within half a month, or I will sell you! As for the money you greedy for ink, I will not hold you accountable... ...Mrs Ling!"

"Make it up, make it up, make it up," Madam Ling cried out in horror, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam. Thank you very much for your kindness. This slave is not Mrs. Ling, this slave is just a cheap handmaid, and I dare not call me my wife. I don't dare to call you my wife. Now, I am a lowly maid, and this slave is a lowly maid. It is a lowly maid, really a lowly maid..."

Lou didn't bother to pay any attention to her, and ordered: "Bring out all the evil slaves in the firewood room, and I will personally send them back to Gongbei Garden!"

A total of nineteen domestic slaves were bound by Wu Hua Da and all were taken out of the firewood room.

Lou said to the slaves, "let's go, follow me to see the old man."

After everyone dispersed, Mrs Lou took only one maid and walked to Fei Yuanyi's Gongbei Garden.

She stood in the courtyard and shouted, "My daughter-in-law is here to greet my father-in-law. Today, there are some evil slaves who are trespassing in my daughter-in-law's inner courtyard. I didn't know the father-in-law before, but now the interrogation has been made clear, and the daughter-in-law dare not make an assertion, so she brought her with her. Come and hand it over to your father-in-law."

Fei Yuanyi's voice came from the back room: "I will deal with these evil slaves. It's getting late, you can go back."

"Daughter-in-law retire!" Lou saluted and exited.

"Ah!"

There was a muffled sound from the back room, but the old man was smashing things again.

Chapter 053 [Mandarin Ducks]

When Lou returned to his courtyard, Dongfu had already prepared dinner.

Fei Rulan was in a daze, scared and scared, but also had the joy of the rest of her life.

On the other hand, Fei Rumei was young and only understood two or three points of truth, and she had returned to her usual liveliness.

Fei Ruhe held back his anger, clenched his fists and said, "Mother, if I do what I want, I'll beat all those evil slaves to half death..."

"Shut up, I don't have your share of words here!"

Lou stopped drinking immediately and said to Mo Xiang, "Call Brother Han over to have dinner together."

"Yes." Mo Xiang exited the dining room.

Lou suddenly questioned the eldest daughter: "You are so obedient, if you want to die, then die?"

Fei Rulan lowered her head and said, "Grandfather has hinted at it many times over the past year. Today, he made it clear. Daughter... Daughter is just afraid, and she is confused and seeks short-sightedness."

"Since it's been hinted many times, why didn't you tell me, why didn't you tell your father?" Lou slapped the table angrily, "In case Xiyue goes back to her room a little slower, and it's too late to save you, it's not a hot meal to eat now. That old thing's brain is broken, and your brain is also broken?"

Fei Rulan pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, as if counting the threads there, not daring to look at her mother.She explained: "Afterwards... my daughter also wants to understand. Although I have a marriage contract with that person, but he is him, I am me, and his family has returned the marriage certificate, and they have nothing to do with each other anymore. If my daughter is in a hurry, she will die. Showing it to others is of no benefit to me, it will only make my parents sad. My daughter will not do such stupid things again."

"It's good if you can figure it out." Lou finally breathed a sigh of relief. What she was most afraid of was that her daughter would go to the edge of a bull's horn.

"Don't touch your chopsticks, wait for me to come back!"

Lou returned to his bedroom and quickly fetched a list.

After a while, Mo Xiang also brought Zhao Han over.

"Meet the madam, I have met the two young ladies." Zhao Han saluted with his fists folded.

With a smile on his face, Lou said softly, "You have worked hard for a long time. You must be hungry. Sit down and eat together."

"Thank you madam." Zhao Han didn't refuse and sat down very casually.

Lou called Mo Xiang again: "Don't go, take this thing."

Mo Xiang took the list and asked curiously, "This is Madam?"

While serving food for Zhao Han, Mrs Lou explained: "The old man is the most shameful, I am afraid he will not give up if he loses his face this time. The people in this list are all released from Jing Xing Yuan, you Go to Haosheng to arrange and bring them back quickly!"

"Yes." Mo Xiang took orders to leave.

Just as he was about to step out of the room, he suddenly heard Mr. Lou say: "After finishing this matter, I will ask someone to escort you to Suqian. The eldest young master is an official outside, and there is no one to serve, so there must be someone who will bring tea and water. When you give birth to a son, you will be given a concubine document."

Mo Xiang trembled, turned back excitedly, and kowtowed straightly towards Lou.

"Go." Lou waved.

Mo Xiang got up and exited, not talking nonsense the whole time, and went to work with all her heart.

Lou asked Zhao Han again, "Do you know why I called everyone back?"

Zhao Han grabbed the rice and replied: "The old man suffered a loss, and he can't let out his anger, so he will definitely anger the servants of Jing Xingyuan. Moreover, he can't interfere in the affairs of Jing Xingyuan, so he can only do things in various industries of the Fei family. The people who are released by the young master are all working in various industries. If they are made difficult by the old man for a long time, they will lose their morality for a long time. Either they resent the madam for not being able to make decisions for them, or they simply surrender to the old man. "

"Well said," Lou suddenly asked his son, "Can you understand the reasoning here?"

Fei Ruhe was eating his mouth full of oil, put down his chopsticks and said, "I understand, I think the same as Brother Han."

Lou said with a smile: "Then let me ask you, Brother Han is facing a dilemma today, why did you let you chase me back in person, and specially asked you to bring Fei Chun with you. Instead of sending a few random servants?"

"This..." Fei Ruhe thought carefully and replied, "It must be that Fei Chun and I have good legs and can run faster than ordinary servants!"

Lou didn't bother to look at his son again: "Brother Han, you can share with him."

Zhao Han explained: "If the young master doesn't leave, those evil slaves will definitely not dare to break into the inner courtyard. If they don't break into the inner courtyard, there is no reason for us to detain people. If we don't talk about the loss from the beginning to the end, the other party will definitely make an inch, and there will be troubles in the future. There will be more things. The young master is gone, so that they can be drawn into the trap. Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches."

"Do you understand?" Lou asked.

Fei Ruhe scratched his head, feeling that his brain was not enough, so he bit the bullet and said, "Understood."

Lou asked again, "Where's Fei Chun?"

Zhao Han continued to explain: "Mrs. Ling...Ling's side may not be obedient. She is indeed disobedient. When I sent someone to block the door, Ling's still wanted to go out to report the letter, and I was almost under house arrest in the room. If you don't take Fei Chun away, treating his mother like this will inevitably hurt the brotherhood."

Lou asked, "Do you understand?"

Fei Ruhe murmured, "I don't have the many twists and turns of you all."

Lou asked again: "Why do you dare to make your own decisions and openly detain the evil slaves in Gongbeiyuan?"

Zhao Han replied, "If it was someone else, I wouldn't dare. But the lady here is the one who is in charge. How can you endure this vicious anger with the lady's temper? Detain someone for the lady."

Lou asked his son, "Do you understand?"

Fei Ruhe didn't speak at all, just buried his head and cooked rice, as if he was going to put his head in a bowl.

Fei Rulan also learned everything that happened today from the mouth of the maid.It was only at this moment that she understood many of Zhao Han's intentions, and she stared at Zhao Han with her big eyes.

As for Fei Rumei, a snack foodie, it doesn't matter what everyone is saying.

When the meal was almost over, Lou suddenly asked, "Brother Han, are you fifteen this year?"

Zhao Han said, "I am fifteen years old."

Lou's words changed: "There will be no boy exam next year, and you must pass the exam the next year as a scholar!"

"Do your best." Zhao Han said.

"It's not as hard as possible, you have to pass the test, it's not good to delay it any longer." Lou repeatedly emphasized time.

Zhao Han looked up at Lou, and then at Fei Rulan, pretending he didn't understand: "Try to."

"Alas." Lou sighed.

Fei Ruhe was still eating, it was already the fifth bowl, and he had no idea what his mother was talking about.

Fei Rulan blushed, took a peek at Zhao Han, and quickly lowered her head to avoid it.

After finishing the meal, Zhao Han retire.

Looking at Zhao Han's leaving figure, Lou said to her daughter, "Although he is three years younger than you and his status is low, he is reliable. When he becomes a scholar, he will change his real name back to his original surname. Yes. But looking at him like that, I'm afraid he doesn't want to join the family, so you can live your own life."

"Mother, my daughter won't marry." Fei Rulan became more and more embarrassed.

Lou smiled and asked, "You don't like him?"

Fei Rulan shook her head: "No, it's just..."

"Then it's settled," Lou scolded with a smile, "this little bastard has exquisite eyes and is very slick, and I have to work hard to persuade him slowly!"

"I'll listen to my mother." Fei Rulan left, blushing so red that she was almost feverish, and her liver was pounding.

Before this meal, Fei Rulan had no special feelings for Zhao Han.

But after Lou's strong point of mandarin ducks, she immediately had a lot of thoughts, not to mention contacting Zhao Han in person, she felt very shy when she thought about it.

Fei Ruhe was stunned: "Zhao Han...my sister...they..."

Lou sighed and said, "Otherwise? Rulan is too old and is the widow of a loyal minister who died in the country. How can a serious family want to get married? Even if there are people who want to, I am afraid that they will have ulterior motives. It is better not to marry if they marry."

Fei Ruhe couldn't accept it and said, "He's my brother, and he is younger than me. How can he be my brother-in-law?" This guy rolled his eyes, "Why don't you be my brother-in-law, so that I can save face."

Fei Rumei was young and not ashamed, she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I will marry Brother Han when I grow up."

"Nonsense," Lou scolded, raising his chopsticks to hit, "I don't have a serious idea, get out of here quickly!"

Fei Ruhe hugged his head and ran away, feeling very aggrieved, what the hell is a brother-in-law turned into a brother-in-law?
