Chapter 69 Computation
When they got to Aunt Jing's yard, the facts were not as Sun Dan imagined. Once there, Sun Dan secretly complained this time.

It turned out that servants like Sun Dan didn't have the opportunity to come to the inner house during the day, and they didn't know much about the building structure inside.Before that, he had only been to Mrs. Hong's yard.Mrs. Hong's courtyard is naturally magnificent, but what the other courtyards look like, Sun Dan's eyes are darkened.

After arriving at Aunt Jing's residence, Sun Dan discovered that although she was a concubine, the yard was not small.There are two sets of courtyards in total. The canal that needs to be dredged is in the outer courtyard, while Sun Jia lives in the innermost courtyard.

At this time, the servants in Aunt Jing's courtyard also got up, and the lights were brightly lit.Because Sun Gui was going to take the hospital examination today, he woke up early, and even the maids also got up to serve him.Now, it is estimated that Sun Gui has already gone to Mrs. Liu to gather, but there is no hope.

Even if he is still in the courtyard now, with his small belly, he has a feud with himself, I'm afraid he will still gloat and watch the fun by the side.In the past few days, although the relationship between Sun Dan and Sun Gui has eased, the estrangement between the two of them still exists deeply.

It is about five or six o'clock in the morning Beijing time in later generations, and Sun Jia is probably sleeping too, so it is impossible to wake up in this cold weather.

Sun Dan was in great pain, and stood by the side of the ditch in a daze.

Agui pushed him and shouted: "Scholar, you should get into the water."

The servant next to him also watched the fun with a smile on his face.As for Aunt Jing, she took out a handkerchief and spread it on a rock in Taihu Lake by the canal, sat down on her buttocks, and waited for Sun Dan to make a fool of herself.

It is early spring, the water is bitterly cold, and Sun Dan is in poor health, asking him to go into the water to dig out the river will simply kill him.

In any case, the water is impassable.

But how to get out?
Sun Dan was anxious, and slowly leaned over, touched the water surface with his hands, and when his fingers touched the stream, he shivered from the cold.

"How about it, isn't it cool?" Aunt Jing giggled: "Mrs. Liu said that you are not allowed to go ashore until noon. Sun Dan, you and I have no enmity. You really shouldn't offend Brother Yue. Mrs. Liu. I advise you, this time, you should get the hell out of the Sun Mansion. As for studying and taking exams, don’t even think about it, poor people will be poor all their lives, and don’t think about getting ahead, it’s not your fate.”

Sun Dan smiled dumbly: "I will not leave the Sun's residence." He withdrew his hand, and suddenly remembered the part in "The Deer and Ding Tale" where Wei Xiaobao was kidnapped by two eunuchs in the palace to meet the queen, his heart moved, and he looked back. Go, see Agui's two family members are both white and strong, if they shave their beards, they really look like eunuchs.And that Aunt Jing looks very much like that fake queen mother, Mao Dongzhu.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan felt happy, took out a five-liang silver ingot from his pocket and held it in his hand, pretending to be surprised: "God, I'm so lucky that I actually took out a piece of silver when I dug the drain. Get rich, get rich, at least five taels. Aunt Jing, should the money belong to me?"

Aunt Jing and the three heard the shout and looked up at the same time.I saw that under the light, a corner of silver in Sun Dan's hand was shining brightly, and the light was definitely a fine and fine snowflake silver.

Although the Sun family is a wealthy family, the family has a large population and a lot of expenses.Coupled with the sharp drop in the Sun family's income over the past few years, they gradually became unable to make ends meet.The average housekeeper only pays a few cents per month, and people like Aunt Jing only pay a little more than one or two cents per month.These five taels of silver are enough for them to spend half a year.

So, when Sun Dan said that five taels of silver can be obtained by digging the canal, the three of them breathed rapidly at the same time, and shouted at the same time: "What, silver, bring it here."

Sun Dan pretended to be scared, held the silver tightly, and shouted: "Auntie, what you said is wrong. The silver in this water is something that has no owner. Whoever picks it will return it. The money belongs to me." Hand, how can you hand it over."

"Bastard, you want to kill yourself!" Aunt Jing yelled, "I dropped this ingot yesterday when I passed by this canal. The water is cold, and the water is so wide, so I can't find it. Miss me." Aunt Jing is not short of some money, so she didn't bother looking for it. I didn't expect you to be so lucky that you found it as soon as you touched it, so return it to me quickly."

"If you don't give it, you just don't give it. Whoever picks it up will get it. At worst, I will quit this job as a gardener. Let's go home and start a small business to make ends meet." Sun Dan stood up, trying to escape.

Aunt Jing was very anxious, and shouted to Agui and Agui: "Stop him, wait for the next person to reward two qian."

Agui and others scolded inwardly: "Two coins, thank you for being able to speak out."

But they were family-born servants, and they sold themselves to the Sun Mansion, and the master had to follow orders.Although there is not much money, it is better than nothing.

So, the two of them rushed towards Sun Dan viciously at the same time.

Sun Dan pretended to be scared, and shouted angrily, "Rogue, even if I don't get this silver, I won't take it easy for you?" Throw away.

Seeing the opportunity, Aunt Jing suddenly dodged to the side. If not, her head would be smashed and bleed.

I saw that silver ingot fell into the flower garden by the stone of Taihu Lake with the sound of the wind, and was never seen again.

"Idiot, go find it quickly." Aunt Jing yelled sharply, turned around and walked towards the flower garden.

It's getting dark, how can I find it in a short time.

Agui and Agui also let go of Sun Dan, and ran to squat on the ground and fumbled for a while.

Seeing that no one was staring at him anymore, how could Sun Dan let go of this opportunity, picked up his strength and ran forward, and rushed straight into the inner house.

Sun Jia's room is in the inner courtyard. There used to be a maid carrying a lantern to illuminate Aunt Jing. Seeing Sun Dan rushing towards her with a fierce face and bare feet, she staggered in fright and fell to the ground, shouting loudly. Screaming: "Auntie, Auntie, it's not good."

Aunt Jing happened to touch the ingot of silver on the ground, feeling a heavy sense of satisfaction in her hand, just about to smile smugly, when she heard the maid screaming, she said angrily: "What's wrong, I'm fine."

"Sun Dan... Sun Dan rushed inside."

"What, the thief is bold, come here, tie him up and send him to Jinan Mansion." Aunt Jing was shocked and angry, her daughter was sleeping inside, if Sun Dan saw it, it would be a big loss.

"We... can't go in." Agui and Agui stood at the gate of the inner courtyard, not daring to go in.

Aunt Jing was very helpless, so she had to rush in alone.

But she is a woman of the generation, plus a little girl, how can she control Sun Dan.

I heard Sun Dan shouting at the top of his voice: "Sun Jia get up quickly, I need you.
