C3594 There is no airtight wall (1/2)
In the end, Isha told his family the truth, because it was not easy to deceive outsiders, as for the past few days, your whereabouts could be said to be an errand in the imperial court, or even a secret. How could you tell your family?
A wise son should not be like a mother. As a mother, you are the most considerate of your son. You have lost 10 pounds in these five or six days of not returning home. What have you done?
He had dark circles under his eyes, and he was wobbling as he walked. What was going on with him? Was the war wounded or what?
He had to give an explanation, he had to give an explanation!
You want to hide? That's just a dream. You have to change clothes and take a bath at night, right? If you don't have a daughter-in-law, you'll have to mend your clothes or rub your back.
You're covered in kisses and scratches... How could this be explained?
If he were to speak the truth, Isha could only choose a more refined phrase and tell them what had happened in the past few days.
When Huai Hua heard that his brother had been humiliated by the empress dowager, he immediately ran out of the house while covering his face and went into his own room to cry.
He could still control his mother more or less. After all, she was the Eldest Young Madam of the Manchuria, and was even more shrewd and forceful than a Han girl. He was so angry that he slapped his son, but only after that did he start crying.
The mother pulled open the collar of her son's shirt and looked inside. She understood immediately. That scratched bloody Daozi had a bruised kiss, and when she looked at her son's black eye and skinny face, she couldn't help crying.
The two of them hugged each other as they cried. They were afraid that their neighbors would hear them, so they could only lower their voices and sob!
After crying for a quarter of an hour, the two girls finally calmed down. The mother took out a huge package from the hole in the brick bed, which was covered in dust.
”Ah!” I say, three days ago, why did Li Lianying's housekeeper give me a bag of silver? She said that Chief Steward gave me ten thousand silvers, and I was so shocked that I didn't sleep for a few days … ”
”He didn't say why he wanted the money. He just put it down and left …” ”Right, before leaving, you even gave me a weird smile, saying that you've already struck it rich …”
”I've guessed for three days and I still haven't been able to figure out what happened, but I can't believe you …” It actually became like this! ”
Isha drooped her head and said: ”What can I do, they are all big figures that we cannot afford to offend. Any one of them can pinch me to death …”
”Do I dare to resist? They threatened me with the lives of their entire family … ”
The two of them held their heads and cried for a while. Then, the old lady asked, ”I don't dare to ask that housekeeper. Why did he reward me with ten thousand taels? I counted only seven thousand …”
”Could there be a conspiracy here? ”I don't dare to spend this money, so I can only hide in the kang hole …”
In fact, there were only about two thousand pieces of existing ocean in the bag, which was the Dragon Mark Silver Yuan. As for the rest, they were all banknotes, some were southern banknotes and some were North Ticket s.
He counted them carefully and did the same again. The total was about seven thousand taels of silver.
Isha facepalmed, ”Oh yes... I remember... Isn't this the rule in the Duke Palaces and Great Mansion … ”Inverted?”
”Mother …” Don't count it, this is ten thousand silvers, walking out of Li Lianying's storage room would be ten thousand silvers! ”
”But do you know that all the servants in the capital have their own rules? Many of the master's rewards are 4 or 6 or 3 to 7 apiece …”
”In other words, whoever is rewarded by Master will not be able to get the actual amount of money. All the people who are rewarded will get points …”
