Chapter 28 Mantis cicada
As soon as the fish spoke loudly, everyone in the room immediately came to their senses and stared at Aunt Gui more uniformly. Aunt Gui could only laugh twice when she saw that there was no way to sneak away. She opened her eyes and said lies: "Yang Xiuniang is right. I just want to invite the young master to come here in person and ask him to give me back justice."
After fighting with Aunt Gui for so many years, how can she not understand her thoughts?
Gan immediately waved his hand and told the maid behind him, "Go and invite the young master to my room!"
When the maid took the order to go out to invite Qin Silang, Gan said to Aunt Gui with a smile, "Sister Gui, I think it's better for you to wait here. You can't leave my room before this matter is figured out, otherwise I can't explain it to Yang Xiuniang!"
When Aunt Gui heard the words, she could only stand back in her original position. For a moment, she lost her usual momentum, but lowered her head and twisted the silk in her hand. She seemed to know that Qin Silang's death would come as soon as she came. It's just that Aunt Gui knew that as soon as Qin Silang was invited, the ugly things she had done would be exposed, but she could only be anxious...
And the little maid beside Gan quickly invited Qin Silang to the room. Gan was eager for Aunt Gui to fall down early, so as soon as Qin Silang was invited to the house, she couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Si, a few days ago, Aunt Gui robbed Aunt Peach's veil outside her mother's house. I heard that you happened to bump into it. , do you remember?
Even Aunt Tao had to remember that Qin Silang happened to meet him at that time. Qin Silang, who usually didn't care much about the trivial things at home and only read the book of sages, had to think about it for a longer time.
Qin Silang slowly found an empty chair and sat down, and then asked the little maid to bring him a cup of hot tea, and then drank the tea slowly. The group of people who were waiting for him to testify in the room were almost impatient. Qin Silang opened his mouth gently...
"I remembered that there was indeed such a thing. On that day, Aunt Gui did rob Aunt Tao's handkerchief," Qin Silang said for a pause before he added, "I thought about it for a long time before I thought about it!"
However, everyone in the room just wanted Qin Silang's first half of the sentence, so no one paid attention to Qin Silang's second half of the sentence. Gan Shi had already said when Qin Silang finished the first half of the sentence: "Aunt Gui, what else do you have to say now?"
Aunt Gui was also a master who didn't see the coffin and didn't cry. She stiffened her mouth and argued thickly, "I was confused before. I forgot that Sister Tao gave me the veil! However, after Sister Tao gave me the veil, the veil disappeared the next day, and I don't know who told me to steal it..."
"Since my handkerchief was lost early, I don't know why it fell in Yang Xi's room. Maybe it was the thief who stole my handkerchief first and then took my handkerchief to Yang Xiang's house to steal the money box." Aunt Gui lied more and more, and finally made a pair of "that's it" "Yes, it must be the thief who stole my handkerchief. When he stole the money box in Yang Xiuniang's house, he accidentally left the handkerchief in Yang Xiuniang's house to make such a big disturbance!"
After listening to Aunt Gui's sophistry, Yuer immediately glanced at her with a disdainful face and said coldly, "Aunt Gui doesn't have to hurry to get things aside. Did you steal this money box? As long as you let us search your room, it will be clear?"
Qin Heng's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words and echoed, "Yes, we just need to search Aunt Gui's room to see if the Eight Lady's money box is in her room, and the truth will come out?"
Qin Henglin said and looked at Gan with bright eyes and signaled Gan, the head mother of the family, to speak. Gan was happy to see Aunt Gui fall, so he quickly opened his mouth and became the master: "Xiao Wu is right. Our big guy is going to search Aunt Gui's room and say something else after searching the house! "
After saying that, Gan took the lead and walked outside the house, and the rest of the house immediately followed.
Only Aunt Gui immediately lost her face when she heard Gan's words. Now she waved her hands to try to stop Gan and others: "Can't be searched, can't be searched! You can't search my house!"
Gan smiled disdainfully and asked Aunt Gui, "Joke! I am the head of this family. Is there any place in this family that I can't search?! Why don't you get out of the way?!"
This Gan family has not been a vegetarian paper tiger, so she turned her face and Aunt Gui was a little afraid at the moment, but she still hesitated to find an excuse for herself: "There are several things in my room that the master asked me to keep for him. I'm afraid that you will randomly turn over the things in my room and inadvertently give the master's things. It's broken. When the master asks, I can't explain..."
"Don't worry, I will ask them to turn over carefully and won't damage the things entrusted to you," Gan said with a jealous face and gritting his teeth. After saying this, he immediately shouted to the maids behind him, "You guys will carefully and carefully check Aunt Gui's room later. Don't turn things up in the house!"
While talking, Gan had taken everyone to the outside the room where Aunt Gui lived. She waved her hand and Aunt Huang immediately came forward to open the door. Then the group of people filed in, or found a chair to sit down, or followed Gan's instructions and turned around the room. Even Qin Henglin followed him around. Strive not to let go of any suspicious places.
The fish did not follow them to investigate, but stood at the door and stared at Aunt Gui's every move, so as not to hide things by any means.
At this point, it was obvious and there was no suspense about who was the thief who stole the fish's money box, so the maids and women who were looking around the room soon found a small box and respectfully presented it to Gan.
As soon as the fish saw the small box, she couldn't help getting excited, and immediately pointed to the small box and said, "That's it!" It's the small box I use to hold money!"
Gan glanced at the fish faintly when she heard the words, and also looked at Aunt Gui meaningfully, and then slowly opened the money box. As soon as the money box was opened, everyone saw that it was full of copper plates and a few pieces of silver.
Gan obviously didn't expect that the fish would have so much money, so he asked the fish disbelieve, "Is the money in this box yours?"
"Yes, all my savings are here," the fish was afraid that Gan would not believe it, so he explained the origin of the silver money: "In addition to the monthly wages given to me by my wife, the rest of the silver money here is exchanged by my usual embroidery. The copper plates and broken silver add up to about 15 taels. Silver."
When Gan heard this, she glanced at Aunt Gui and asked, "At present, the stolen goods have been obtained. What else do you have to say?"
As soon as Aunt Gui heard Gan's words, she immediately patted the table and cried and shouted: "Ouch! This is really a great injustice! This money box is obviously mine, and I don't know what means Yang Xiu Niang used. She actually knew how much money was in my box and said the amount in front of me..."
Aunt Gui's words of inverting black and white sounded really disgusting. After hearing this, the fish couldn't bear to look at Aunt Gui angrily and shouted, "I'm wronged!" This is obviously the box that I originally had in my room. After I lived in it, I used it for money. How did it become yours?
Aunt Gui had already figured out a corresponding solution, so she quickly answered: "Yang Xiuniang, your words are a little full. Don't you know that there is such a small box in every room in our house? But you are not the only one who has such a small box, but I also have it!"
"You..."
The fish didn't expect this. After all, she is only a guest in the Qin family and doesn't know the situation of the Qin family very well, let alone that every room of the Qin family is equipped with such a small box.
However, the fish has always been clever, so she quickly thought of another proof that the money box was her reason: "But I know how much money there is in this money box, aunt Gui, do you know?"
"Why don't I know? This is my money box. Naturally, I know that the copper coins and broken silver in it add up to almost fifteen taels of silver," Aunt Gui said and glanced at the fish proudly and added proudly: "I also know that the silver money in this money box has four yuan and one or two pieces of broken silver, and the remaining eleven taels. Silver is a copper plate that has not been exchanged yet!"
When Gan heard the words, she took a deep look at Aunt Gui. After thinking about it, she had another plan. She immediately handed the money box to the maid behind her and ordered, "You count for me how much money is in this box, and then take a closer look at the broken silver and copper coins in it to see if it is with Aunt Gui said the same thing.
The little maid quickly took the box, poured the money inside on the table, and counted it in front of everyone.
The little maid's hands and feet were very sharp, and soon there was a result: "In my wife's words, there are exactly 15 taels of silver in this small box, including four pieces of one or two pieces of broken silver, and the rest are strings of copper coins."
The silver money saved by the fish is, firstly, the monthly wages given by Gan, that is, the whole copper money stringed with red rope; second, the embroidery products are successively exchanged for the city's embroidery shops.
Therefore, most of the money is scattered copper coins. Only the last time he took over the big business and made nearly 5,000 yuan at a time, the owner of the embroidery shop paid the fish to pay for the fish and exchanged the 4,000 yuan into four yuan and one or two pieces of broken silver.
And after Aunt Gui obviously stole the money box back, she had opened it and took inventory of it, and now she would be so clear about the money in the money box.
--------Today's second update--------
PS: I missed a little bit when introducing the situation of the Qin family. Now I add it: Qin Henglin has three sisters and one brother, and a sister Qin Liuniang below; these are the brothers and sisters of the Qin family. Now I would like to add that Qin Henglin also has a younger brother and sister, that is, Aunt Tao. A pair of sons and daughters.
