There is a female Jinrong, let you become a fashion

Not long after Xu Chengfeng came out of the ancestral hall of Yongle Hou Mansion, he left the gate of Yongle Hou Mansion.

After he left, Du Jinrong also took Ah Qin to Aunt Xiu's yard.

"Jin Rong, what are you doing here?"

At that time, Aunt Xiu seemed to be looking at the internal affairs books of the Hou Mansion.

So when she saw Du Jinrong looking for her, she was immediately surprised, as if she didn't expect Du Jinrong to go looking for her.

"I have something to ask Auntie Xiu."

Du Jinrong said after Aunt Xiu's words, but he took a few glances at Aunt Xiu's yard.

Aunt Xiu's yard is called Xiuzhuyuan. Du Jinrong remembers that this is the name that Aunt Xiu asked her father Du Kun for permission to change after Aunt Xiu took her into the Hou Mansion as a concubine.

Moreover, this courtyard is adjacent to the main courtyard, very close to Du Kun's courtyard, closer than Du Jinrong's mother's courtyard to Du Kun's courtyard.

"In a few days it will be the anniversary of my mother's death. I haven't been back for many years. When celebrating my mother's death this time, I plan to find someone to do a ritual ceremony for my mother."

After Du Jinrong took another look at Auntie Xiu's yard, she spoke.

"Jinrong, you are so filial, my sister has a spirit in heaven, she will be very happy when she sees it."

Aunt Xiu said after Du Jinrong said, she was still looking at Du Jinrong.It seems that he still doesn't understand the purpose of Du Jinrong's coming to her. After all, if it's just a matter of method, she doesn't need her consent at all.

But Du Jinrong didn't keep Aunt Xiu confused for long, so after Aunt Xiu's words fell, Du Jinrong glanced at the ledger in Aunt Xiu's hand, and then spoke again.

"Since it's a practice, it will naturally require expenses, so I ask Aunt Xiu to give me more money in the cashier. And then give me three male servants to run errands outside." Du Jinrong said to Aunt Xiu.

"Give you the money in the account room?"

Aunt Xiu showed a surprised expression after Du Jinrong's words, as if she hadn't thought that this was the purpose of Du Jinrong looking for her at all.

"That's right." Du Jinrong nodded after Aunt Xiu's words, and glanced at Aunt Xiu's surprised expression by the way.

"What? Is Aunt Xiu unwilling?" After nodding.Du Jinrong frowned, and asked Aunt Xiu again.

In fact, according to the logic, since Du Jinrong was the one who arranged for her mother's death day, no matter if it was done in a normal way or in practice, all the expenses should be paid by Du Jinrong himself.

But Du Jinrong asked Aunt Xiu for money.

And she did this not because she couldn't afford the money, nor because she didn't want to pay it herself, she just didn't want to make Auntie Xiu cheaper.

Du Jinrong thought clearly.In the past few years, Aunt Xiu has been sitting in her mother's position as the wife of the Hou Mansion, and has been in charge of the accounts of the Hou Mansion. In private, she does not know how many things she has swallowed for her own use.

That being the case, she might as well ask Aunt Xiu for money directly, since her mother is Mrs. Qian from the Yongle Hou Mansion, and it is not appropriate to use the money from the Hou Mansion to celebrate her death.

Furthermore, it would be good if doing so could help Aunt Xiu.

"no."

Aunt Xiu quickly shook her head after Du Jinrong's words.

Du Jinrong felt that even though Aunt Liangxiu was unwilling in every possible way.But you must not dare to say that you don’t want to.

"In that case, please ask Aunt Xiu to give me 5000 taels." Du Jinrong said after Aunt Xiu's words.

"good."

Although Aunt Xiu was surprised that Du Jinrong asked for the money, she still nodded.

"Don't worry, Aunt Xiu, if you are so generous to my mother, my mother will be happy in the sky, and may even be happy to see Aunt Xiu."

After Aunt Xiu's words, Du Jinrong said again, but what she said made Aunt Xiu's face full of fear and embarrassment: "Ha, yes, is it? No, no need." It seemed that a mother who was very afraid of Du Jinrong would really Go find her look.

"Besides, I came to see Aunt Xiu today, and I have another matter besides the accountant's money." Du Jinrong didn't answer Aunt Xiu's words, but suddenly said again.

"What else is there?"

Du Jinrong saw that almost as soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Xiu looked at her vigilantly, as if she was afraid that she would bring up something unacceptable to her again.

Du Jinrong looked at Aunt Xiu's expression, and thought in her heart, if she hadn't really needed to find Aunt Xiu, she would not have taken the initiative to find Aunt Xiu, after all, she didn't want to see Aunt Xiu often.

"For my mother's private treasury."

So, after Du Jinrong glanced at Aunt Xiu again, he said.

"What about the private treasury? Didn't I already give you the key to Jin Rong?"

As soon as Du Jinrong's words fell, Aunt Xiu immediately yelled at Du Jinrong.

"Aunt Xiu, you gave me the key, but Aunt Xiu, you forgot. I haven't checked whether there is any shortage of things in my mother's private warehouse." Du Jinrong said after Aunt Xiu shouted.

Her voice was flat, and her expression didn't change at all because of Aunt Xiu's shouting.

"Jinrong, what do you mean? Are you suspecting that I secretly hid your mother's things?" Aunt Xiu's face became ugly because of Du Jinrong's words.

Du Jinrong naturally saw Aunt Xiu's ugly expression, but she would not let Aunt Xiu go because of this. After all, it was her mother's property, and she would not allow it to be lost.

So I saw that she frowned after Aunt Xiu's words, and then said to Aunt Xiu: "If Aunt Xiu is really open-minded, then so what if she walks with me this time."

"I..." Aunt Xiu was speechless at Du Jinrong's words.

Seeing this, Du Jinrong didn't urge Aunt Xiu, she just looked at Aunt Xiu quietly, she watched Aunt Xiu's face change several times under her gaze, and finally she didn't know what she thought, but after her expression changed again, He still nodded.

"Okay, since you don't believe me, Jinrong, then I'll accompany you." Aunt Xiu finally said to Du Jinrong.

"In that case, there will be Auntie Xiu." Du Jinrong nodded upon hearing this, and then turned and left Auntie Xiu's yard.

After she left, Aunt Xiu looked at the back of her leaving, stomped her feet heavily on the ground, and finally followed.

***

Du Jinrong's mother's private treasury was naturally in Du Jinrong's mother's yard, and since Du Jinrong's mother passed away, no one lived there anymore.

In this way, when Du Jinrong brought Ah Qin into the courtyard with Aunt Xiu behind him, the first thing that catches the eye is desolation and coldness.

Du Jinrong walked through her mother's yard, looking at the yard full of weeds because no one lived in it for a long time and it was not taken care of, feeling really sad.

"Ah Qin, find someone to come over to take care of my mother's yard this afternoon."

The sad Du Jinrong originally wanted to go to her mother's room first, but after thinking of Aunt Xiu who was following her, she gave up this idea first, and planned to settle the matter of her mother's private vault first.

But I still sent a message to Ah Qin first, asking her to find someone to clean her mother's yard well.

"Yes, princess."

Ah Qin replied after Du Jinrong's words.

Afterwards, the three of them continued to move forward, and soon arrived at the door of Du Jinrong's mother's private treasury.

"Ah Qin, go and open the door."

Du Jinrong stopped in front of the private warehouse, and handed the key to Ah Qin.

"Yes."

Ah Qin took the key from Du Jinrong and went to open the door.

When the door of the room was opened, Du Jinrong thought that there would be a burst of dust floating out, but there was nothing.

And it was precisely this that made her take a good look at Aunt Xiu before entering the door, and made her more determined to carefully inspect an item in the warehouse.

Aunt Xiu didn't know if she didn't see Du Jinrong's look at her.After Du Jinrong went in, she followed behind Du Jinrong with a normal expression and entered the warehouse.

"Ah Qin, check one by one according to the list in my hand."

After entering the warehouse, Du Jinrong took out another list and told Ah Qin.

I saw that the sheet of paper was quite new, and the pen and ink on it seemed to have been left recently.

"Jin Rong, where did you get this list?"

When Du Jinrong handed the list to Ah Qin, Aunt Xiu, who had been silent since entering Du Jinrong's mother's yard, suddenly asked Du Jinrong, with a surprised and solemn expression on her face.

Du Jinrong looked at Aunt Xiu's expression.Naturally, he knew what Aunt Xiu was surprised and worried about, because the original list that recorded Du Jinrong's mother's private treasury had been lost long ago.

Du Jinrong remembered that it was after her grandfather passed away.

Before her mother died, because she didn't trust her father Du Kun, and because Du Jinrong was still young at that time, she was worried that she would not be able to keep it, so she wrote down all the things under her name on a list, and then shared with the private treasury The keys were entrusted to her grandfather together, saying that they would all be handed over to Du Jinrong when Du Jinrong grew up.

Her grandfather also felt that she was too young at that time to keep those things, so he agreed.

Later, her grandfather had an emergency and died long ago when he returned to the Hou's mansion, so naturally he didn't have time to hand over the list and the key to Du Jinrong.

Later, after her grandfather's funeral was finished, she searched in her grandfather's yard, but found nothing.

But from the fact that the key to the private treasury can be found from Aunt Xiu, Du Jinrong felt that the original list was also in Aunt Xiu's body in all likelihood.It must have been hidden by her back then.

"Why? Aunt Xiu, you are surprised?"

In this way, Du Jinrong did not answer Aunt Xiu's words, but suddenly raised the corners of her mouth, and asked Aunt Xiu.

"That list back then was not, not already," Aunt Xiu continued to say to Du Jinrong.

"That's right, that list has indeed been lost." Du Jinrong nodded after Aunt Xiu's words, and when Aunt Xiu looked relaxed because of her words, she said again: "But you probably don't know, Aunt Xiu, Grandpa once showed me that list, and I just remember everything on that list."

Du Jinrong is very fortunate now, fortunately her grandfather showed her the list at that time, otherwise she would have no way to compare things now if she wanted to compare them.

"what?"

Aunt Xiu was surprised by Du Jinrong's words again, and a solemn expression appeared on her face again.

However, Du Jinrong was too lazy to talk to her, so he turned his eyes to the room, looking at Ah Qin who was corresponding things one by one.

***

Du Jinrong's mother was married from another place.

As for where it is, Du Jinrong has never heard her mother, her grandfather, or her father Du Kun mention it.I have never been to my mother's house myself.

Du Jinrong only remembered that when she was a child, when she accidentally asked her father Du Kun about her mother's family, she was severely punished by her father Du Kun, and at that time her father Du Kun had an extremely displeased expression on his face.

And because she was married from another place, the private treasury mainly consisted of dowry such as jewelry and jewelry, and there were so many of them that it took Ah Qin almost two hours to order all the things.

"Princess, there are no other things missing. But three sets of jewelry are missing, and five boxes of jewelry are missing."

After Ah Qin ordered all the things, he walked towards Du Jinrong with a bad face and said to Du Jinrong.

Du Jinrong nodded when he heard the words, and then asked Ah Qin, "But you nodded carefully?"

"Princess, the maidservant ordered it three times, it won't be wrong." Ah Qin said after Du Jinrong's words.

After Du Jinrong heard this, he didn't look at Ah Qin again, but turned his head and frowned at Aunt Xiu.

"Aunt Xiu, you gave me the key to the private treasury, so why are so many things missing, Aunt Xiu, you should be very clear about it?" Du Jinrong asked Aunt Xiu, frowning.

"No, I don't know." Kexiu shook her head immediately after Du Jinrong said.

"Jin Rong, I have never touched the items in this private treasury. You can't just think that I took it just because there is a way out with the list you made. Maybe it was Jin Rong and you remembered it wrong?" Aunt Xiu asked again. Tell Du Jinrong.

But what she said immediately caused Du Jinrong to laugh.

"Never touched it? Aunt Xiu, I'm afraid you have forgotten that you gave me a hairpin along with the key to the private treasury." Du Jinrong asked Aunt Xiu mockingly with the corners of her mouth hooked.

"I, Jinrong, I told you Jinrong a long time ago that Lord Hou bought that hairpin for me. The reason why I gave it to you that day was because I knew that you had been thinking about this hairpin all the time. You will give it to you because you are unhappy with this hairpin." Aunt Xiu explained after Du Jinrong said.

But Du Jinrong just wanted to laugh when he heard this.

Du Jinrong looked at Aunt Xiu with disbelief and sarcasm, and felt that what Aunt Xiu said was extremely false and ridiculous.

Why did she give this hairpin to her because she missed it? If she didn't see that it was her mother's hairpin, would she miss it?Her Du Jinrong is not someone who has never seen good things.

Also, if it wasn't really her mother's thing, then what if she really cared about it?Aunt Xiu, would she really give it to Du Jinrong just because she cared about her?When did Aunt Xiu become such a generous person?

In the end, if she hadn't recognized the hairpin back then, if Aunt Xiu hadn't been guilty of guilt, then why would Du Liuyu push her into the water?

And why did Aunt Xiu show up in front of her father Du Kun?Let her father punish her so that she almost died in that cold night?

"I gave it to me because I was thinking about it, Aunt Xiu, do you believe this?" Du Jinrong still looked at Aunt Xiu with a mocking face, and asked Aunt Xiu with a mocking face.

"Trust! Jin Rong, you have to believe me, I really didn't take anything from your mother's warehouse, I really didn't touch it." But Aunt Xiu still refused to admit it, and still said to Du Jinrong.

"Jin Rong, is it true that you have misremembered? After all, it has been so many years. After all, you were still young when your grandfather passed away. It is normal to have misremembered." Aunt Xiu said to Du Jinrong again.

But Du Jinrong didn't want to believe Aunt Xiu at all, nor could she trust Aunt Xiu.

So after Aunt Xiu's words, she said: "Since Aunt Xiu is so unwilling to admit it, then I'll go to Dali Temple later to see Du Liuyu."

That's right, Du Jinrong threatened Aunt Xiu with Du Liuyu again. She was clearly telling Aunt Xiu that if she didn't admit it honestly, then Du Liuyu would be in danger.

"Jin Rong!" Aunt Xiu's face turned pale at what Du Jinrong said, and she looked at Du Jinrong in horror.

"Jin Rong, you can't, I have already agreed to your request, and I promised to kowtow to your mother to admit my mistake, you can't do this." Aunt Xiu looked at Du Jinrong in horror and said.

"No, I can." But Du Jinrong shook his head after Aunt Xiu's words, not giving Aunt Xiu a chance at all.

"If Aunt Xiu doesn't believe it, and still doesn't admit it, I'll go to Dali Temple right away so that Aunt Xiu can see if I can do it." Du Jinrong said again, turning around to leave the warehouse.

"No!" It's just that Aunt Xiu stopped her just after walking a few steps.

"No, Jinrong, I believe, I believe, you can't go to Dali Temple, you can't go." Aunt Xiu hurriedly pulled Du Jinrong back, and said to Du Jinrong anxiously.

"Aunt Xiu, I just said that I can. As for whether I will go or not, it depends on you, Aunt Xiu." Du Jinrong turned his head when he heard the words, looked at Aunt Xiu and said.

"So Aunt Xiu, if you don't want me to go to Dali Temple, then you should admit it earlier and return the things earlier, otherwise don't blame me for not being sympathetic!" Du Jinrong said to Aunt Xiu again.

"I," Aunt Xiu showed a hesitant expression because of Du Jinrong's words.

And it was precisely because of her expression that Du Jinrong knew at once that his guess was correct, those jewelry and jewels were definitely taken by Aunt Xiu.

"Aunt Xiu, are those jewels and accessories more important, or your son Du Liuyu's life, I hope you think about it carefully."

In this way, Du Jinrong said to Aunt Xiu again, and broke away from Aunt Xiu before she grabbed her hand.

"Jin Rong, I,"

Because of Du Jinrong's words, Aunt Xiu showed a hesitant look on her face again.

After that, she looked at Du Jinrong who didn't seem to be joking with her at all, and then looked at the warehouse behind her. The expression on her face changed again and again, and she finally settled down, as if she was finally about to admit it.

"Jin Rong, it's me,"

"Du Jinrong, what do you want to do?"

It's a pity that before Aunt Xiu could speak, there was a stern voice from a distance, which interrupted Aunt Xiu's words.

Du Jinrong frowned because of the stern voice, she frowned and turned to look outside the warehouse, and then saw her father Du Kun walking towards the warehouse with an angry face.

Aunt Xiu, who was standing behind Du Jinrong, immediately became happy when she saw Du Kun, and she no longer wanted to continue what she was about to say.

"Master Hou, you have to make the decision for me. Jinrong really wronged me. I really didn't take anything from my sister."

Then she cried and ran towards Du Jinrong's father Du Kun, and held Du Jinrong's father Du Kun's hand at the door of the warehouse.

"I know."

Du Jinrong's father, Du Kun, nodded slightly to Aunt Xiu when Aunt Xiu came to him, and then pushed Aunt Xiu aside.

"Du Jinrong, let me ask you, what do you want to do? Are you purely trying to make things difficult for your family?"

After pushing Aunt Xiu aside, Du Jinrong's father, Du Kun, asked Du Jinrong angrily.

Du Jinrong did not immediately answer her father Du Kun's words.

She looked at Aunt Xiu who was running towards her father Du Kun, thinking about what Aunt Xiu said to her father Du Kun just now, her brows frowned.

So when she heard her father Du Kun questioning her again, her eyebrows frowned even more, and then she asked her father Du Kun in a cold voice: "Master Hou thinks that I am intentionally making trouble with the Hou family?"

"Isn't it?" Du Jinrong's father, Du Kun, asked Du Jinrong after Du Jinrong's words.

"If you didn't want to make things difficult for the family, then why did you insist on leaving the house last time and not staying at home? Why did you force your aunt and elder brother to go to Xu's house to invite you every day, and trample the face of my Houfu on the ground? And now that you've all returned, why don't you take care of your mother's death day? Instead, you're picking on your aunt here?" Du Kun said to Du Jinrong again.

"Du Jinrong, tell yourself, which one of your things is not against the family? Which one is not against the family?" Du Kun finally looked at Du Jinrong and said.

"Yeah, Jinrong, don't be angry with the family anymore, don't make trouble with the family anymore, I really haven't touched your mother's things, I beg you, please don't threaten your elder brother's safety Me. Jin Rong, I beg you, Auntie!"

Aunt Xiu also spoke after Du Kun's words, and she looked at Du Jinrong pleadingly after she finished speaking.

And almost as soon as Aunt Xiu's words fell, Du Kun, who was already angry, became even more furious.

"Du Jinrong, you dare to threaten your aunt with your elder brother's safety?!" Du Kun asked Du Jinrong angrily.

"You're so shameless, you're just,"

After Du Kun's words, Du Jinrong hadn't answered yet, but Ah Qin, who was also in the warehouse, angrily yelled at Du Kun and Aunt Xiu that the other party was shameless.Afterwards, she seemed to want to speak, but was stopped by Du Jinrong.

"Princess, why did you stop me? They are really shameless, they are obviously bullying you!"

Ah Qin was puzzled by Du Jinrong stopping her.

"Ah Qin, it's not for you to come forward, stand behind me."

Du Jinrong heard the words and said to Ah Qin.

Du Jinrong knew that Ah Qin was just a servant after all. If she really angered her father Du Kun and Aunt Xiu, maybe they would take advantage of her absence to harm Ah Qin in the future, so she must not let Ah Qin because of She faced her father Du Kun and Aunt Xiu.

And even if Ah Qin really confronted her father, Du Kun and Aunt Xiu, for her sake, they would only think that she was a talkative servant, and would say that she wanted to punish Ah Qin.

"I, yes, the princess, the slaves obey you."

Ah Qin knew that Du Jinrong was doing it for her own good, so even though she didn't want to, she obediently stood behind Du Jinrong, but gave Du Kun and Aunt Xiu a hard look.

"A dog is like a master, Du Jinrong, look at what kind of slave you are following."

Du Kun, who was stared at by Ah Qin, immediately said angrily to Du Jinrong, probably thinking that Ah Qin, as a servant, dared to stare at her, was simply lawless.

"Master Hou, Ah Qin is from the palace of the Empress Dowager, and she was also the one who asked her to follow me when she saw that there was no one around me, so please think about her real master before you say she is a dog, otherwise you will suffer. But you are in the Marquis of Yongle."

Du Jinrong never got angry after her father Du Kun's words, and only said to her father Du Kun indifferently.

"You, Du Jinrong, how dare you still want to threaten me with the Empress Dowager?!"

And almost as soon as Du Jinrong said this, her father pointed at Du Jinrong angrily and said, it seemed that as long as Du Jinrong said another angry word, he would teach her to look like a girl.

It's a pity that Du Jinrong is not afraid of him at all.

So when Du Kun pointed at her, she said again: "Master Hou, if you don't believe what I said, you can try it."

"You! Du Jinrong, you unfilial daughter, see if I won't beat you to death today!!"

Du Kun was completely enraged by Du Jinrong's words, his expression changed, he raised his hand to Du Jinrong's face, and was about to call Du Jinrong!

"No! Don't! Princess be careful!"
