Farmer's little Fubao is cheating

Returning to Aunt Yang's house again, Lan Xiang was still a little surprised.

But she didn't say anything and was busy pouring water, but there was only cold tea in the kettle.

Lu Jingzhou waved his hand, took out a five-tael silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to Lan Xiang: "Thanks to you for taking care of my aunt during my absence in the past two years, I will make some clothes for you with these five taels of silver."

Lan Xiang was pleasantly surprised and took the silver gift and thanked her: "Thank you, Second Master, for the reward. Taking care of my aunt is my duty."

Lu Jingzhou: "I have to rely on you to take good care of her when I'm not here. Don't give unclean food to my aunt. If you can't, just take some money from your aunt and ask the cook to cook something fresh. I will subsidize you a shilling a month." .”

Lan Xiang was simply stunned.

She is the lowest-ranking girl in the house, and her monthly salary is only eighty cents. Even Chunxiang, the eldest maid in the madam's house, only earns three hundred cents.

The second young master actually had to subsidize himself a fortune every month, which was like a sudden windfall.

Lan Xiang immediately saluted Lu Jingzhou: "Thank you, Second Young Master. I will definitely take good care of my aunt."

Lu Jingzhou took out another twenty taels and gave them to Aunt Yang and said, "Auntie, you are not in good health. You will eat better in the future. I will ask Lan Xiang to put some money into the kitchen later. You can also use a few mouthfuls to heat rice and dishes."

In my previous life, I was young and didn't know how dirty the inner courtyard was, nor did I know that my aunt had such a difficult life in the inner courtyard.

As we all know, Aunt Yang is not popular with the lady, so the servants in the mansion also look at the dishes and order the food. When they go to the big kitchen to get food and hot water, they are ignored. The food and tea they get back are all leftover and cold, and they will probably be cheated. Put something dirty in there.

If you want to eat eggs or something other than the recommended portion, the kitchen will not cook it for you without paying. Even if you want to buy some needlework, you have to bribe the gatekeeper and ask her to buy it for you.

My aunt's monthly income is only 500 yuan, and that little money is simply not enough to live a good life in the house.

"Jingzhou, you gave all the money to Auntie, what will you do yourself?" Auntie Yang seemed to be in better spirits and looked at her son worriedly.

The son's monthly payment was not enough, and he had been away for two years. His wife had already stopped his monthly payment, saying that the master had given him dozens of taels, and that the money was withdrawn early.

Lu Jingzhou reassured her, "Don't worry, aunt, I've earned some money outside, which is enough for our expenses."

Aunt Yang's eyes were red, feeling happy and sad at the same time.

Her Jingzhou is only twelve years old and has to bear so much. "It's all useless, auntie."

Since she fell ill, the master has not come to her house again, and her situation has become worse day by day. Lanxiang and Lanxiang are also suffering from the maids and servants in the house.

Lu Jingzhou shook his head. Seeing Lan Xiang go out, he took out the box from under the bed and stuffed it into the pile of debris behind the bed.

Find a clean box and put the bird's nests in your arms one by one.

Facing Aunt Yang's puzzled look, Lu Jingzhou said: "Don't use any of Madam's rewards from now on. I bought this bird's nest from outside. It's edible. Let Lan Xiang stew it in the house on the medicinal stove. Don't go to the kitchen. Over there.”

Aunt Yang understood it as soon as she heard it and burst into tears again.

Lu Jingzhou said a few words, and seeing that it was getting late, he hurried out of the inner courtyard.

When I came to the house where I lived, I found that the box on the table was still there, but five pieces of bird's nests were missing from it.

Lu Jingzhou immediately called the boy Fuling, pointed at the box on the table and asked loudly: "Why are five pieces of my bird's nest missing?"

The boy squeaked for a long time before saying, "I don't even know."

In fact, he took it and sold it to the kitchen lady.

Lu Jingzhou said reluctantly: "These bird's nests cost twenty pieces per box. I only left for a while and half of them were missing. Is there a thief in the house?"

His shouts alerted many servants and boys. Even Feng Shan came running over and asked over and over again: "What's wrong, Second Young Master?"

Lu Jingzhou then opened the box for everyone to see, and angrily picked up the box and walked out: "I'm going to tell mother, how could a thief break into the house?" The servants and servants naturally knew what was going on, but which one of them broke into the second young master? House, just take some things with you.

They have basically been like this over the years. The servants and servants would secretly take some of the food and supplements that the master gave to the second young master while he was away. Anyway, the second young master was thin-faced and would not tell anyone if he found out. This time, for some unknown reason, he suddenly made a fuss. stand up.

Fu Ling quickly grabbed Lu Jingzhou and said anxiously: "Second Young Master, don't worry, let's look for it again, maybe some ignorant boy took him away."

As long as you keep things in front of you and wait for this person to calm down, the matter will be over.

As expected, Lu Jingzhou stopped arguing. He picked up the bird's nest and called Feng Shan: "You go prepare the car. I'm leaving the house now."

Feng Shan was the driver of the outer courtyard, and now he was in charge of the second son's mule cart, so he went to the outer courtyard to prepare the cart without saying a word.

Grandma Fang and her husband both lived in a large courtyard. When she learned that someone else had stolen the second son's belongings, she was so angry that she cursed.

She had raised the child since he was a child, and she valued him more than her own son. Unfortunately, after he was seven years old, the lady stopped letting her take care of him and sent her to work in the courtyard.

That's fine. The second young master will take her and her husband with him when he goes on study tours. In the future, the second young master will also be taken care of by her and his wife when he has to take exams.

"Mammy, please come out with me." Lu Jingzhou got on the mule cart and asked Aunt Fang to get on the cart.

He rented a small courtyard near the county school and would stay there during exams.

The experience in his previous life forced him to take precautions to avoid eating too much before the exam.

Grandma Fang agreed, got on the carriage, and headed to the small courtyard with her husband.

The mule cart clattered forward, and a young boy emerged from the door of the mansion, following behind quietly.

But the mule cart was moving so fast that he couldn't keep up.

The boy wanted to run and chase but was afraid of being discovered. The way he hid was very funny.

Lu Jingzhou saw all this from the rear window and couldn't help but sneer.

He has retreated outside, and his brother-in-law has also been admitted as a scholar, but his mother-in-law is still unwilling to give up, and must suppress his mother and son, and even kill them.

In this life, I must plan carefully, and it is best to take my aunt out of that home.

The mule cart finally got rid of the boy behind it.

After Feng Shan sent the young master to the small courtyard, he immediately drove the mule cart out of the city, and then stayed at a familiar farmhouse outside the city for a few days. He did not return until the evening before the second young master's exam.

There is no other way. If I go back early, I will be called by my wife for questioning, and then the place where the second young master lives will be exposed.

With Madam's temperament, she would definitely cause trouble before the Second Young Master's exam, or deliberately torture her aunt to show the Second Young Master, so that the child would not have any intention to refer to it.

Even if the master protects him, it will be useless. If the second young master does not listen to his aunt's call, it will be unfilial, and the lady will have a hundred ways to ruin his reputation.

Alas, it is really unfortunate for a concubine to have such a legitimate mother. If the second son were not extremely intelligent and had the care of the master, he would have died when he first showed his talent. How could he have survived to this day?

In the early morning of the day when the exam started, Lu Jingzhou checked the exam basket to make sure nothing was missing, then got on Feng Shan's mule cart and headed to the exam hall.

When we arrived at the test hospital, it was still dark, the lights at the door were shining and people were coming and going.

Lu Jingzhou jumped off the mule cart, carried the examination basket and followed the crowd slowly inside.

Suddenly, two young men from the Lu family were looking for someone with lanterns. They were so anxious that they almost smashed the lanterns into the candidates' faces.
