As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and notoriety spreads thousands of miles.The news that the flesh buns that the eight clans had given to the noble mansions of the eight major clans had annoyed the magnates had spread like snowflakes in winter, spreading to all corners of Ciyu Town.Overnight, no one in Ciyu Town knew the news that the magnates were "punished" by Feng Xiannu, and even the surrounding clans and villages, as well as Yanxia Town on the other side of Yanshan, also heard the news.The people had an extra conversation after dinner, but the magnates of the eight clans who had eaten human meat buns were dumb and couldn't say that they were bitter when they ate Coptis chinensis.After eating the fragrant buns, even the bitter bile and stomach acid were vomited out after hearing that it was "human flesh filling", and after waiting for the invited doctor to check the authenticity of the bun filling, they gritted their teeth and wanted to kill them to go to the Xijiao Pavilion to know that they had been tricked.The stuffing of the bun is not chopped by human flesh at all, but wild boar.It was not only the Yan patriarch's family who had eaten the "human meat bun", but also Wu, Cheng, Si, and Yan who received the most food boxes, each with eight or seven large food boxes containing fifty or sixty buns.Patriarch Mo and Mrs.
Mo did not receive the food box, but fortunately found that their eldest son, Mo Dagongzi, had received the food box, and Mo Dagongzi was so disgusted that he foamed at the mouth and fainted after learning about the human meat buns.After Patriarch Li and Li Junshen heard the old housekeeper's announcement, both father and son were in a cold sweat, and they sat stiffly in the chair for a while before coming back to their senses, drinking a bowl of hot tea to warm up their bodies and collapse quickly.Li Junshen asked the old housekeeper: "Before the Cold Food Festival, did our house send someone to the Xiqiao Pavilion?"
”The old housekeeper peeked at the Li patriarch and said in a squeaky voice, "I didn't send anyone."
But the old slave didn't know if the lady and the two girls had ......
Uh, did you send someone over?
”"You go to the Buddha hall and ask immediately, and come back as soon as you ask."
Patriarch Li couldn't sit still, and he couldn't guess whether Mrs.
Li and the two daughters who loved to make trouble had made a mistake, otherwise......
The old housekeeper should go with him, and before he left the courtyard gate, he collided with Wang Yanchang, who hurriedly came with a food box, and both of them covered their foreheads and said "ouch", and their eyes were tearful and looked at each other unpleasantly.Seeing that Sister-in-law Wang was holding a food box in her hand, the old housekeeper couldn't complain a few words, pointed to the food box, and asked, "Is this a human meat bun sent by the Pavilion?"
Did the lady and the two girls eat?
”Sister-in-law Wang rubbed her forehead, checked the food box, and said, "Can the patriarch and Brother Shen be in the main courtyard?"
”"Yes.Yes, yes. ”The old butler nodded repeatedly."
Madame ordered me to bring a food box to tell you."
Sister-in-law Wang didn't explain much, and walked to the courtyard with the food box.The old housekeeper also followed step by step, and returned to the main courtyard one after the other to meet Patriarch Li and Li Junshen.In the middle hall of the main house, the patriarch of Li was stunned with a tea bowl, thinking about how to go to the Xiqiao Pavilion to ask for guilt to settle this big mistake.When Mrs.
Li voluntarily closed her door and thought about it, and the relationship with Li Haitang warmed up, such a disgusting thing happened, and everything she had done before came to naught.Li Junshen guessed that the idea of giving away human meat buns was from Li Haitang, or Zhuge Yi's hint.According to his understanding of Zhuge Yi, all the thieves who are caught sneaking into the Pavilion will not be left alive, and Li Haitang will be merciful.This morning, he also got the news that Li Haitang sent a ghost hand to escort more than 50 large wooden boxes to Yanxia Town, saying that it was a gift for a life-saving benefactor.The world thinks that it was the miracle doctor who saved her at the beginning and judged that he only had a six-year lifespan.Now it seems that maybe there is something else in the big wooden box."
Patriarch, Brother Shen, the old slave king's sister-in-law asks to see you."
Outside the door, there was a respectful voice from the princess."
Come in."
Patriarch Li came back to his senses and put down the tea bowl, afraid that his trembling hands would reveal the fear in his heart and be detected by the two old minions.The curtain of the door was lifted, and the old housekeeper and the princess entered the door one after the other, saluting together.Sister-in-law Wang stepped forward with the food box and said, "Patriarch Yu, Mrs. ordered the old slave to send the food box, and asked the Patriarch and Brother Shen to act according to Mrs. ”"Why, madam, she put human flesh buns......
Eaten?
”Patriarch Li turned pale with fright.Wang shook her head, squatted down, opened the lid of the food box, and took out a piece of paper."
There are no meat buns in the food box sent by Miss Li, only this letter."
Give the letter to Li Junshen, and then he will pass it to Patriarch Li.She continued: "Madame knows that her sins are unforgivable, and she sees that Miss Li is charitable, and she does not care about the mistakes that Madame has committed before.The lady was grateful and volunteered to spend another hundred days behind closed doors to atone for her sins.In order to apologize, Mrs. asked the patriarch to prepare a generous gift, and asked Brother Shen to send it to the Xiqiao Pavilion to apologize. ”Patriarch Li said "oh", and only eight words were written on the letterhead: The past has been punished, and the future is considered."
Miss Li's kindness and mercy have spared the big mistake of her mother and two sisters.Father, let's prepare a generous gift according to Mother's wishes, and I will send it myself. ”Li Junshen got up and took the initiative to ask."
It's fine."
Patriarch Li put away the eight-character letter and instructed the old housekeeper: "Quickly lead Brother Shen to the treasury to pick out some gifts that Miss Li likes to send over." ”Li Junshen smiled dumbly and said, "Father doesn't have to open a warehouse, Sister Begonia likes gold and silver things the most."
I went to the account office and took three thousand taels of gold and silver ingots and sent them to her, and made sure that she smiled more beautifully than a flower. ”Patriarch Li was also amused, and said, "I didn't expect that she is still a little money fan?"
”Li Junshen nodded, "Exactly."
On weekdays, all the treasured jewelry sent by various prefectures was thrown into the warehouse and dusted.Jinbao silver ingots are all put in the bedroom to look at day and night, as if they love something. ”"Ouch, like me, love money!"
Patriarch Li laughed heartily, this weakness made him happier than the kidnapping of the little cub in the Li Village.Whatever money can buy, he rejoices in."
Father, my son is gone.""
Go, go, go.Hurry back early, you go to the porcelain kiln with me this afternoon to see, the newly fired colorful bucket bowl is too poor, you go to check what is wrong. ”"Yes, go and come back quickly, and you won't delay your business."
Li Junshen hurriedly went to the account office to receive three thousand taels of gold and silver ingots, and personally rode a horse to the Xiqiao Pavilion in the center of Porcelain Yu Town.Who knows, the news of sending gold and silver gifts to make amends for sins does not go away.While enduring the nausea, the troubled magnates in the various mansions sent the most powerful people to count the gold and silver ingots, and sent them to the palace on fast horses.Even the most stingy Yan patriarch couldn't bear to cut his love, and packed his own money and sent it to the old housekeeper.At this time, in the bedroom of the Pavilion, Li Haitang stood in front of the window and overlooked the East Sandwich Road outside the East Courtyard, and one after another people who came to send the apology came on horseback, and they couldn't say a few words before putting down the silver burden, turning over and returning on the horse.Sister-in-law Li commanded the old women to carry boxes and boxes of gold and silver ingots to the middle courtyard, waiting for Li Haitang to look at them and put them in the warehouse.The old women had never seen a whole box of gold treasures and silver ingots, and they whispered that Li Haitang's wrist was high, and a few wild boar buns were exchanged for a thousand taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver.() Glory to the end
