Chapter 47 You have to hand over the small treasury

Thinking of this, Mei Jiaolan stood up and said, "Dad, I made mother angry tonight. After all, it was my daughter-in-law who did something bad. She is willing to be punished."

After saying that, he asked someone to take him to the ancestral hall and kneel there.

Everyone was shocked, and before they could react, Wu Moyun from the opposite side suddenly said: "You don't have to kneel down, what you are embroidering is not night-flowers."

Niu and Wu Jianzhi turned their heads at the same time and asked, "How do you know?"

After Wu Jianzhi asked her son, she raised her eyelids and called to the servants: "Hurry up and help the third son back. Why are you kneeling in an ancestral hall in the middle of the night? It's not too scary!"

Mr. Niu's attention was only focused on Wu Moyun, and he questioned: "You come from a man's family, and you are not as old and knowledgeable as your father. How do you tell which parts of the cloth are epiphyllum patterns and which are not epiphyllum patterns?"

Aunt Wan and Wei Shufang, who were opposite Wu Moyun, nodded after hearing this, and even Mei Jiaolan cast curious eyes at him.

He smiled, stood up calmly, faced the hall, and said, "Father, have you forgotten that two months ago, the eldest son of the Huayin Marquis Mansion gave his son a black lacquer screen with gold embroidery? ?”

When Wu Jianzhi heard this, he thought about it carefully and found out that the Prince of Huayin and Brother Mo were childhood friends and had always been friendly. When he came to visit that day, he thought that the furnishings in Brother Mo's room were too simple. We were almost getting married and we didn’t have any decent decorations, so we sent a few pieces of furniture.It includes a screen.

Mrs. Niu also remembered this. Firstly, she was in charge of accounting, so she naturally knew what was going on inside and outside the home. Secondly, the Prince of Huayin publicly said that the furnishings in Wu Moyun's room were too simple, which was tantamount to a slap in the face of her mistress.She still feels bad about it.

"So what? Why are you bringing this up?" Niu frowned.

Wu Moyun said with a smile: "Although my son is stupid, he also knows that the screen is very rare, so he also consulted with the Prince of Huayin for advice, and then he learned that the cloth on the black lacquer and gold-edged embroidered screen was made from Suzhou. Shuiyun gauze. Just now I heard you mentioned that the cloth Guerlain gave to my mother was also made of Shuiyun gauze, and I couldn't help but think of the screen. I also saw that the pattern on the cloth was exactly the same as the pattern on the screen, almost. There was no difference. At that time, the prince told his son that the pattern was called the lotus flower, which was very similar to the epiphyllum, but it was far from an ominous flower. Instead, it had a high status in Buddhism. Seeing Guerlain going out to kneel as a punishment, the son remembered that he wanted to pray to Guerlain. Mom and dad will tell you the truth."

Mr. Niu didn't say anything for a long time after hearing this, but Wu Jianzhi's eyes lit up: "Is this true?"

"Seriously." Wu Moyun lowered his head.

"Okay." Wu Jianzhi clapped his hands and ordered his servants: "Go to Brother Mo's room and bring those screens over to me!"

The servants got the order and went to move things.

In the space where the screen was being moved, everyone was whispering to each other.

Mei Jiaolan's surprised eyes have not yet been taken back.

When Wu Moyun saw the strange look in his wife's eyes, he rarely smiled.

He scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "A grown man also knows how to use embroidery needles, which makes the lady laugh."

Mei Jiaolan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head.

What surprised her was not this.

Wu Moyun actually knows the prince of Huayin and Mei Yuanniang's fiancé?And from what he means, the friendship is not shallow?
...Soon, the boys brought the screen over.

As soon as Wu Jianzhi saw something coming, she immediately got down from her seat, took out her reading glasses, looked at the screen carefully, then took the Sujin cloth and compared it left and right.

If this was not enough, he also asked Niu, Aunt Wan and others to come over and observe and compare them carefully.

As a result, as Wu Moyun said, the two patterns were almost identical.

Wu Moyun spoke again at this time, "The cloth on this screen is probably woven in the same place and in the same batch as the cloth Guerlain gave to her mother, otherwise it would not have the same pattern. The same batch of Shuiyun yarn, It was presented to the palace, and was given to various mansions by the palace. Each mansion got cloth, some were made into screens, and some were made into fabrics, so today's coincidence happened. Even though the arrow lotus is very similar to the epiphyllum, ordinary people It is difficult to tell, but the Huayin Hou Mansion and the Wu family are family friends, and the Huayin Hou Crown Prince and his son have always been friendly, so it is unlikely that this ominous and cursed thing was sent. Therefore, mother, you have indeed wronged Guerlain."

"You!" Niu's eyes widened, but he had nothing to say.

Wu Moyun lowered his head respectfully, but his momentum was not low at all.

"Okay, okay, now that the truth has finally been revealed, can we leave?" Wu Jianzhi said softly to Xini, "It's quite late. Madam, please go and have a rest."

Then he specifically told Mei Jiaolan: "The third family, I have really wronged you today. You go back to recuperate first, and then daddy will visit you in person!"

Mei Jiaolan lowered her head and smiled, bending her knees slightly.

But Niu didn't want to give up yet, "Master, do you think this is all that matters today? This third family member has never greeted me since we came here. It's the most ridiculous thing in the world. You said, she is Aren’t you looking down on me and our Wu family?”

Mei Jiaolan's eyes turned cold. It was clearly Niu himself who was hiding his illness, but now he is throwing dirty water on her?
It is a serious accusation that a daughter-in-law neglects her mother-in-law, and she must defend herself.

Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, Wu Jianzhi snorted, "Is it that important to say hello? Does saying hello make you gain an extra kilogram of flesh or three taels of silver? These are all vain things. You’re the only one who cares! Look at me, I don’t care, I wish they wouldn’t bother me!”

"..." Mrs. Niu was so angry that her husband was so angry that she found another excuse and began to scold him: "I don't care about you, but I can't care about setting up a private vault?"

Wu Jianzhi paused as he was about to leave, "Little treasury?"

"Yes, otherwise how do you think she got this Shuiyunsha?" Niu said bitterly.

Mei Jiaolan knew in her heart that Mr. Niu's statement about the small treasury was a lie. In fact, he was trying to blame her for not counting and handing over the dowry she brought in time.

And today, she made the whole family uneasy because of a mere pattern. It was probably because of her dowry!

Her heart moved, and she blessed her parents-in-law and said, "When Yingchun came to deliver the cloth, could it be possible that I didn't explain to my mother that this Shuiyun gauze was brought home by the eldest wife of the Mei family, not by the daughter-in-law herself?" Your body?"

"This..." Niu choked. She was so angry that she didn't give Yingchun a chance to speak.

However, so what if it is, so what if it isn't. Is Mr. Niu angry because of this?
"I don't care, you have to hand over the small treasury anyway. The Wu family will never tolerate the bad habit of rats digging holes to hide food!"
