evil tiger marries husband

Chapter 67 Treasure Chest

The young lady was missing, and the entire Meng Mansion was sleepless all night. It was finally dawn, and the young master came back in a dispirited mood. Everyone hurriedly gathered around and asked, "Have you found the young lady?"

Zhang Ehu shook his head listlessly.

Seeing his haggard face, Mrs. Zhang was very distressed, and said softly: "Did you quarrel yesterday?"

Zhang Ehu still shook his head.

Bai Yingyang said: "Niang Niang, before they left yesterday, they were still very close."

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "Little Baiyang, do you know where Xiao Qiao'er might go?"

Bai Yingyang shook his head and said: "In his letter, he only said that he had something important to do, but he didn't leave any clues, and I can't think of where he will go."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Xiao Qiao'er walked to the street, someone must have seen it, everyone go to the street and ask."

Zhang Ehu said: "He changed into men's clothing yesterday, even if others saw him, they would not know it was him."

Everyone in the family thought: "She deliberately disguised herself as a man, did she plan to travel long ago?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "Even so, with her appearance, she is extremely beautiful pretending to be a man. Just ask."

The members of the family took orders and went to the street separately to ask passers-by if they had seen Mrs. Zhang's young lady.

Bai Yingyang thought: "He is as careful as a needle, if he really wants to leave, no one will be able to find him."

As expected, the Zhang family searched in and out of Meilong County for three days and three nights, but they couldn't find any clues.

Because of such a large-scale search and inquiry, everyone in Meilong County knew that the beautiful lady of the newly appointed Ehu County Magistrate had escaped!Rumors always spread very fast. Everyone said that the day after the evil tiger got married, the new wife suffered severe abdominal injuries. It may be that the bridal chamber refused to comply and was beaten by the evil tiger. No, so I ran away from home.

It is true that Meng Cuiqiao was punched by Zhang Ehu, but only a few members of the Zhang family knew about it, and they learned about it through Mrs. Zhang's mouth. Besides, it has been almost half a year, and no one outside has heard of it. It must be that some servants of the Zhang family were gossiping when they went out to find Meng Cuiqiao.

Mrs. Zhang became furious when she learned about it, and summoned all her servants to reprimand her in front of the main hall.

All the servants knelt on the ground and said: "It's not the little one who said it..."

Zhang Ehu was originally resentful because of Meng Cuiqiao's refusal to say goodbye, and then he ran away from home when he heard that he had abused him. He became angry and said: "You are right, I beat him, so what? Did you also Want to be beaten?"

Seeing the veins in the young master's arms bulging, all the family members trembled, they didn't make a sound, they didn't even dare to beg for mercy.

Bai Yingyang said: "Tiger, these people just love to chew their tongues, so ignore them."

Zhang Ehu said to the family members: "You don't have to look for it, let him go if he likes to go, if he goes far away, I will be quiet!" After saying that, he rushed out of the main courtyard angrily.

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "Little Aries, he is most willing to listen to you, so go and coax him."

Bai Yingyang agreed, and followed Zhang Ehu, seeing that his eyes were tearing apart, he didn't dare to provoke him, for fear of making him even more angry.

But sometimes I'm always afraid of something!

Just as he reached the gate of the west wing courtyard, a careless servant ran out of the courtyard and bumped into Zhang Ehu accidentally.

Zhang Ehu has nowhere to vent his accumulated anger, he wanted to find someone to beat him up to vent his anger, but now someone is chasing him, he is not polite to you, he grabbed that servant.

The servant's face was ashen, he couldn't even beg for mercy, he peed all over his pants.

Zhang Ehu raised his fist to strike, and suddenly remembered Meng Cuiqiao once said: "Everyone has relatives and friends to care for, 'Do not do to others what you don't want yourself to do to others', if someone beats Mr. Bai, don't you feel bad? Distressed? If you beat someone else, that person’s relatives and friends will also feel distressed.” At that time, Zhang Ehu restrained his temperament after listening to his teachings, and he would not hit anyone casually when he was angry. Now he thought: “I can beat anyone I like Who, why listen to him!"

Bai Yingyang was not far behind him, when he suddenly saw that he was going to hit someone, his jade face turned pale, thinking that his mind is in a mess now, if he starts to fight, how can the servant be killed?

Just as he was about to rush forward to stop him, he saw Zhang Ehu's raised fist several times about to swing down, but he hesitated for a long time, and in the end he didn't hit. He threw his servant on the ground, walked back to Jing'an hall, and closed the door with a "bang", and the door frame was blocked by him. It will fall down.

Bai Yingyang hurriedly went to help the servant, but when he saw the servant's eyes rolled up, he was so frightened that he passed out.

He called other servants and ordered them to send the servants back to their rooms to recuperate. He went into Zhang Ehu's room, sat beside him, and said softly, "Didn't Xiaoqiao'er say in his letter that there was something urgent to do? I'll be back when I'm done..."

Zhang Ehu said angrily: "If you don't need him to come back, it's best not to come back forever!"

Bai Yingyang put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Don't get so angry..."

Zhang Ehu was in a bad mood, jumped up and smashed the imperial concubine chair, stretched out his feet and kicked it several times, breaking a chair into more than ten pieces.

Bai Yingyang waited for him to vent his anger before pouring him a cup of tea.

Zhang Ehu was still angry, and waved his hand over the teacup, which fell to the ground and shattered. He gritted his teeth and said, "I even said 'we have sex when we're awake, and we don't disperse when we're drunk.' It's all a lie!" While talking, he took out a kit from his bosom, took out the signature of "Flowers want to follow each other, meet each other so close to the end of the world", threw it on the ground and trampled on it desperately, cursing: "Liar! Liar!" The little note shattered into countless pieces.

Bai Yingyang was helpless, so he could only stand aside.

Zhang Ehu lost his temper, sat down by the bed, recalled all the past, his nose was sore, and finally couldn't help crying.

Bai Yingyang picked up all the scraps of paper on the ground, and poured him a cup of tea again.

This time Zhang Ehu took the teacup well, but his eyes were dull, and he forgot to drink the cup of tea.

Seeing him like this, Bai Yingyang was very distressed, thinking about how to make him happy, immediately burst out laughing.

Zhang Ehu was furious: "What are you laughing at?"

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "I laugh at you, you have really become 'Mrs. Meng'. Your husband is out on errands, and you, as a wife, are left to look after the house, complaining all day, and beware of turning into a watchdog."

Zhang Ehu blushed, staring and said: "What husband-seeking stone? You're talking nonsense!"

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I don't laugh at you, I also read his letter, it said that there is something urgent to do, and he will go home after finishing, but he didn't say he will go or not, why are you so angry? "

Zhang Ehu said angrily: "He has something urgent to do, can't he say hello to me first?"

Bai Yingyang said with a smile: "Men do big things, and generally don't discuss with 'ignorant women and children'."

Zhang Ehu stared and said, "You said I was...you brat!"

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I'm teasing you, don't be angry, all his belongings are here, Lian Er is also here, are you still afraid that he won't come back?"

Zhang Ehu nodded and said: "Yes, he won't want Lian'er..."

Bai Yingyang smiled and said, "Isn't it just that, with such a big son in your hands, why worry?"

Zhang Ehu was taken aback, jumped up and said, "You...you...you..."

Bai Yingyang said: "The little tiger Lian'er is Xiao Qiao'er's son, do you want to ask me how I know?"

Zhang Ehu nodded his head.

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "I'm not blind, he treats Lian'er so well, even if he is a nephew, he is too close." He said in his heart: "He used to be very flirtatious, and he had a son, which is really normal. "

Zhang Ehu said: "I didn't mean to hide it from you..."

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "This is his private matter, you should have done it if you didn't tell me."

Zhang Ehu sighed: "When he told me that Lian'er was his son, I was shocked too...I didn't expect him to be married."

Bai Yingyang wondered, "He and Lian'er's mother are husband and wife?"

Zhang Ehu nodded and said: "But his wife has been dead for many years."

Bai Yingyang said in his heart: "He actually married a woman, I thought Lian'er was born to him and a prostitute..." Suddenly, Zhang Ehu was dejected again, and hurriedly pointed to a long table behind the veil, on which was placed It was full of exquisite bottles and cans, and said with a smile, "Tiger, what is that?"

Zhang Ehu glanced at it and said, "It belongs to him."

Bai Yingyang took a delicate iron box and said with a smile: "What's in it?"

Zhang Ehu said: "Fine sea salt."

Bai Yingyang took another beautiful wooden box and said, "What does this contain?"

Zhang Ehu said: "Mint leaves."

Bai Yingyang took another small porcelain box and said, "What does this contain?"

Zhang Ehu said: "Cow cream."

Bai Yingyang took another crystal glass bottle and said, "What does this contain?"

Zhang Ehu said: "Aloe vera pulp."

Bai Yingyang laughed one by one and said, "It's amazing, you guessed everything right!"

Zhang Ehu said: "He used it for bathing."

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "You really know how to take care of yourself!" After speaking, he went to rummage through the boxes.

Zhang Ehu said: "What are you looking for?"

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "Look for his belongings, didn't he say that all the items will be handed over to you? If you don't take them out and count them carefully, when he comes back, he will miss something and ask you for it. If you can't get it out, he is so eloquent. Then you'll be speechless."

Zhang Ehu snorted and thought, "Maybe he will be back in a few days."

Bai Yingyang saw six or seven old wooden boxes piled up next to the closet, and said with a smile, "Are these the boxes he brought from the Fuyin Pavilion?"

Zhang Ehu said: "Exactly."

Bai Yingyang said: "I remember there were more than ten mouths, why are there only seven mouths left now?"

Zhang Ehu said: "Those boxes contain his clothes, shoes and socks, they have already been put into the closet, and the empty boxes are put in the storeroom."

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "He has so many things, are these boxes also filled with clothes?"

Zhang Ehu said: "It's some old books and antiques."

Bai Yingyang smiled and said, "Since they are books, why don't they put them on the bookcase?"

Zhang Ehu said: "Originally it was placed in Furongzhai, but now it is moved here, and it has not been placed in time."

Bai Yingyang smiled and said, "Let's put it up." Without waiting for his consent, he opened the box by himself.

The boxes are really books. In addition to the four books and five classics such as "The Analects", "University", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Book of Changes", "Spring and Autumn", "Warring States Policy", there are also books such as "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", "Sunzi" ", "Guiguzi", "Shanhaijing", "Huainanzi", "Shi Shuo Xin Yu", "Mengxi Bi Tan", "Tai Ping Guang Ji" and other books, and there are also novels describing the wind, flowers, snow and moon, such as "Pipa Ji" , "The Palace of Eternal Life", "On the Wall", "Peach Blossom Fan" and so on.

Bai Yingyang saw a booklet, took it out, stuffed it in Zhang Ehu's hand and said, "Take this book and read it."

Zhang Ehu saw that the cover was a copy of "Bian Erchai", and asked, "What is this book about?"

Bai Yingyang chuckled and said, "You'll know after reading it!"

The two of them opened two boxes in a row, both of which were old books, so they moved them to the bookcase one by one and arranged them neatly.

Bai Yingyang went to open the third box. Inside were antique utensils, decorations brought from Furongzhai, and they were all placed on the antique shelf.

When I went to look at the third box, the tentacles were heavy, and I couldn't push it half an inch, and it was locked. Bai Yingyang said: "This box is locked, tiger, do you have the key?"

Zhang Ehu said: "I don't have a key."

Bai Yingyang went to search for the dowry on the case, thinking: "I don't see him wearing makeup or powder on weekdays, but his skin is so fair. So there are many skin care products here, but I didn't pay attention last time." After searching for a while, it was indeed in Zhucui. Seeing a bunch of keys in the pile, he went to unlock the lock and said with a smile: "Maybe there are good treasures hidden in the box. He has been in the Fuyin Pavilion for so long, and he must have saved a lot of good things. In the past, he rewarded his servants generously , it may be filled with gold..."

Zhang Ehu also knew that Meng Cuiqiao was rich, and he was never stingy with spending money. It would not be surprising if the box was filled with gold, but when the box was opened, he was still stunned!

The contents in the box were exactly what Zhang Ehu had imagined, and they were indeed gold: gold ingots, gold leaves, gold bars, gold cakes...the whole box was packed full, but the quantity was huge, far beyond his imagination!

In business, although Bai Yingyang often passed huge sums of money, they were all recorded in the ledger, and it was rare to see such a whole box of gold. He sighed and said, "No wonder this box is so heavy." Pointing to the remaining three boxes, he said: "If these It's all gold, that's amazing."

Zhang Ehu opened the locks of the two boxes again, and when the lid was lifted from one of them, a burst of pearl light overflowed immediately, and he saw all kinds of pearls, agate, jadeite, jasper, coral, amber, crystal, gemstones in the box... One box is full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, bronzes, ancient tripods, Yi wares, etc., piled up like a mountain, full of beautiful things in eyes, and the value of each box is far higher than that box of gold!

Bai Yingyang couldn't estimate the price, and sighed: "The plot of "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger" turns out to be true!"

Zhang Ehu was stunned, and said: "How could he have so many treasures, could it be that he is... Feitian Taoning?"

Tao Ning is a well-known chivalrous thief in the world, nicknamed "Flying Beauty". In recent years, he has washed his hands and retired from the world.

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "He only learned martial arts from you after he came to our house. Have you ever seen a knight-errant who doesn't know martial arts? I haven't."

Zhang Ehu said: "He hid many treasures in the room, I didn't know it at all."

Bai Yingyang glanced at him, and thought to himself: "When did he hide it? These boxes were just piled up next to the closet, and the keys were also placed in the dowry. If you really want to see it, you can see it anytime. It's just you silly tiger, There is only room for him in one pair of eyes, even though mountains of gold and silver are piled up in front of you, why have you ever looked at him more."

Zhang Ehu said: "Does he want to learn from Du Shiniang?"

Bai Yingyang couldn't help laughing and said: "It turns out that our young lady was sold by her husband, and she wants to sink the treasure chest in anger!"

Zhang Ehu spat: "When will I sell him?"

Bai Yingyang laughed and said, "I am teasing you! Although Du Shiniang is pitiful, she is always afraid that Li Jia will be sorry for her, and spends all day trying to test the other party's mind. Li Jia is really hateful, but Du Shiniang treats others insincerely first. In the end, he was sold because of the karma that he planted himself. Xiao Qiaoer never tested your heart, and you treated him sincerely, so how could he learn from Du Shiniang." While talking, he looked at the wooden box and said, "I see. He rewarded his servants generously in the past, I guess he must have a lot of money, but he never expected so much."

Zhang Ehu said: "There is still a box that has not been opened, is it also jewelry?"

The remaining boxes are some precious medicinal materials, rare spices, and a few thick ledgers.

Bai Yingyang picked up the ledger and looked at it one by one, and said, "In addition to this house, he also has several shops in Meilong County, two of which are located in the most prosperous streets in Meilong County. Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder he is so rich, Even if he sits and eats, he won’t be empty.”

Zhang Ehu didn't know how to read the ledger, but he was curious about the bags of various spices. He pointed to a bag of brightly colored red powder and said, "What is this?"

Bai Yingyang thought about it, and said with a smile, "Try it."

Zhang Ehu said: "Can I eat it?" He grabbed a handful and put it in his mouth, a pungent rush rushed from the tip of his tongue to his brain, his face was hot, and his ears were buzzing!He felt extremely uncomfortable, stomping his feet and crying.

Bai Yingyang clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "It's too spicy, it's a powder made from pepper, it's hotter than pepper!"

Zhang Ehu was so hot that tears flowed out, he pinched his face and said, "Why are you deliberately teasing me!"

Bai Yingyang smiled and said: "I see you are in a bad mood, eat some chili powder, spicy, look, how energetic you are now." Seeing him grinning, he quickly poured him a glass of cold water and said, "Drink it quickly."

Zhang Ehu drank the whole pot of water, and managed to calm down a bit, angrily said: "Where did you get such a spicy thing, throw it away!"

Bai Yingyang said with a smile: "This is pepper powder imported from abroad. The price is very expensive. Ordinary people can't buy it if they want to eat it. Such a big bag can be sold on the black market. The money you get can buy a small house in a good place in the city. gone."

Zhang Ehu said: "Since that's the case, I'll give you this packet of pepper powder. From now on, you can no longer say that I just eat and don't give money to my family."

Bai Yingyang smiled and said, "This pepper powder belongs to him, how can it be considered as money you gave to the family?"

Zhang Ehu stared and said: "Didn't you say I am Madam Meng? Since he is in my hands, I can use him however I like!"
