What Wei said just now was just angry words, and after calming down, she also knew that it would not work to sue the people of the Wei family to the government, even if she didn't care about her own face, she had to save some face for the two children.

Wei, who calmed down, calmed down a lot, and jokingly joked to He Linwan: "My mother wants to follow Ah Wan's usual practice and take someone to snatch the shop back." ”

He Linwan couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "Those who dare to obstruct will be beaten up and thrown out?"

Wei touched He Linwan's head and sighed with a smile: "Yes, it's a pity that you can't speak with your fists after all, after all, it's not anyone's fists that are hard in this world, who can have the last laugh, what if you get a moment of prestige." ”

Wei and He Lin returned to He's house in the evening, and just after getting off the carriage and entering the second gate, a daughter-in-law came over and said that the second lady asked the third lady to go to Mingshan Hall after she came back.

Wei thought about it, and asked people to take the little tiger who fell asleep in the carriage back to the West Garden, she went to see the second lady first, and He Linwan followed Wei when he saw this.

When the second lady saw that Wei was coming, she was still wearing the clothes she was wearing to go out, and she knew that she had come directly after getting off the carriage, so she couldn't help but smile and said, "Why don't you go back and rest first and then come over." Then the second lady asked Wei's mother about the dojo.

When Wei saw this, he knew that it was not a matter of urgency for the second lady to call her over.

After that, the second lady said the reason why she called Wei over: "Didn't you say last time that Concubine Xian took the lead in donating silver? I didn't expect that in just a few days, a lot of silver was really raised, and the lady of the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was a grain merchant, and she actually donated a large amount of grain directly. I was thinking that the third child is now in Dengzhou, and our He family should take more silver out, not to mention expressing their hearts to the imperial court. At least not less than others. ”

Wei Shi groaned: "How much does the second aunt think is appropriate for our house?"

The second lady said: "I originally thought that I would pay five hundred taels like the Yuan family, but ...... The old lady said that our house is not as good as the Yuan family, and it is enough to take out one or two hundred taels. ”

The old lady originally wanted to only give a few dozen taels, but she was persuaded by the second lady for a long time before agreeing to take out two hundred taels of silver, and no matter how much it is, it will definitely not be, so the old lady also read the second lady, and the Yu family is still helping on the side. It seems that this money is not for the He family's face, but the second lady herself spent it. The second lady was very angry.

Although the Wei family is nominally involved in the housekeeping, she has never interfered in this kind of decision on money, so when she heard this, she nodded and said, "If the old lady and the two aunts have discussed it, they will give it this amount." ”

The second lady sighed: "Then so be it." In addition, if everyone in the house wants to take out some private money, it is okay, and I see that other houses also do this. ”

Compared with the old lady, the second lady is a face-saving person, and she doesn't want to let the He family be compared to other families when it is her turn to be in charge. She'd rather put some silver on her own.

After coming out of Mingshan Hall, Wei took He Linwan back to the West Garden.

He Linwan said suddenly: "Mother." It suddenly occurred to me that the method you had just said when I was in the carriage was not impossible. ”

Wei is still thinking about how much private money to come up with, after all, He Sanye is a military attache in Dengzhou, and she can't give too little, after all, everyone knows that her dowry is quite generous.

Heard He Linwan's words. Wei Shi was stunned, and didn't react for a while: "What way?"

He Linwan smiled playfully, blinked, and said, "Just take someone directly to the shop to rob it? ”

Wei couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "It's just a joke." ”

He Linwan shook his head. He stopped and looked at Wei and smiled, "Mother, what if it's really feasible?"

Wei couldn't help but stop. He Linwan looked at him suspiciously.

He Lin saw that there was no one around except for a few maids, so he leaned into Wei's ear and whispered a few words.

Wei Shi blinked in surprise after hearing this, and after a long time, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and tapped He Linwan's forehead with her finger: "You narrow little villain!

He Linwan held Wei's hand: "Mother, what do you think?

Wei smiled and sighed: "It's feasible, it's feasible, but that's it...... Mrs. Wei is afraid that she will feel distressed. ”

He Linwan couldn't help but laugh: "It's not her thing in the first place, where is her turn to feel distressed? But mother, aren't you distressed? Speaking of which, you are the main master." ”

Wei said indifferently: "Although I am the master, but it can't fall into my hands, I would rather be like this, at least it is good for your father, he is good, you and your brother will have a much better road in the future, as long as this is the case, I will be willing." ”

On the second day, the second lady couldn't help but be stunned when she got the list of things that Wei's private wanted to donate.

"This ...... So much, all out of your dowry shop?"

Wei nodded: "Well, these shops were originally handed over to my grandmother by my mother, and now the ten-year deadline has expired, so I can call the shots." ”

The second lady looked at the long list of newspapers and couldn't help but be stunned, was this planning to empty all the dowry shops? There were four dowry shops under Wei's name, dealing in rice grain, medicinal herbs, cloth embroidery, and gold and silverware. Wei wrote on the slip that he would donate half of all the rice and medicinal materials in his shop, and a quarter of the cloth, and the gold shop would use gold and silver to convert all the profit of the gold shop for the year last year.

The sum of the zeros and zeros adds up, and these are at least three or four thousand taels of silver.

He Lin said lately: "My mother learned that there was a shortage of food and grass in Shandong because of the great drought, and because she was worried about my father, she didn't have a good rest for the past few days, so she donated all these things, hoping that my father could win the battle." ”

When the second lady heard this, she comforted Wei and said, "Don't worry too much, the imperial court has always attached great importance to war, so the grain and grass will never be broken." ”

Wei said: "I understand, but I don't feel at ease if I don't do something, so I should spend money to buy peace of mind." Although these silvers came out of my dowry shop, they were all counted in the silver of the He family, and they should be from the He family. ”

The second lady was thinking in her heart, originally she felt that the old lady only took out two hundred taels of silver, and planned to post some private houses to make up for it, and now Wei's took out such things voluntarily, although she said that it was counted as the He family's father-in-law, but those shops are known by those who are interested in it, but no matter how it is good for the He family, they don't have to take the silver and get a good reputation, why not?

As for the matter of the Wei family and the Wei family and these shops, it is not her second wife's dowry anyway, and no matter how the shops are, they can't fall on her head, and she is too lazy to delve into whether there is anything greasy in this.

So the second lady smiled and agreed.

Wei Shi said: "These shops were not run by my people before, so I don't know the situation in the shop now, I heard that the virtuous concubine Niangniang borrowed some officials from the household department to be responsible for these things, and then I will send someone to invite a few officials to go to the shop to take stock of it." ”

The second lady nodded and said: "This is okay, I see that many ladies and wives who have shops under their names have invited the people from the temporarily set up levy and transportation depot to transport the donated materials away." Today I will send out the money from our house with your receipt. ”

On the second day, the second lady sent someone to tell Wei that the people who were requisitioned and lost the treasury came, in addition to some of the soldiers who were requisitioned and carried this time, there were also two small officials from the household, and the second lady asked Wei to send someone to take them to her shop.

Wei found out all the relevant documents of his four shops and handed them to Mama Li: "Let Hegui lead them to the shop, and when the time comes, just take out these documents and show them to those officers and soldiers." "Hegui is the son of Mama Li, who works as an errand in the outer courtyard.

Mama Li took the paperwork and said worriedly: "Just take someone to the shop to move things?

He Linwan said with a smile: "The officers and soldiers who were temporarily requisitioned from the treasury this time were all responsible for collecting grain and grass at the local level, and these people don't care if your surname is Wei or Yao, they only do things according to the orders of the above. When the time comes, you don't have to say anything to Uncle Gui, just show them these documents, and they will know what to do. ”

Wei also said: "The documents can prove that these shops are mine, and I am willing to donate my things to the imperial court, but I want to see if Master Wei and Mrs. Wei dare to stop this time." ”

He Linwan smiled and said, "Unless you don't want the black gauze hat on your grandfather's head." ”

Mama Li saw that Wei's mother and daughter were so sure, so she took the paperwork and went out to find her son and Gui.

He Lin looked at Wei Shi with a blank eye and said, "Mother, this time it's my credit, right?"

Wei smiled: "It's not done yet, is it possible that you want to come and ask for a reward?"

He Lin grabbed Wei's arm before the evening: "The reward is not needed, I like to watch the excitement, mother, let me go out to see the excitement." ”

Hearing this, Wei squinted at He Linwan and said, "Speaking of which, do you want to go out?"

He Linwan immediately said: "I just went to Zhengyang Street to see the excitement, and promised not to cause trouble, mother, you just let me go." ”

Wei was so entangled by He Linwan that he had no choice, thinking that she was indeed quite well-behaved these days, he reluctantly agreed: "Okay, don't make trouble?"

He Linwan raised his hand and promised: "If I dare to cause trouble, mother, you will lock me up in the future and not let me go out!"

Wei couldn't help but laugh and scratched her nose: "Okay, if you want to go, you can go, but don't leave the maid by your side." ”

He Linwan immediately happily agreed, as long as she could be allowed to go out, she would promise anything.

He Lin was late not because she was playful or really wanted to see something lively, she just wanted to take the opportunity to go out and find Brother Jie. It's been several days, and she can't get out, and her heart is already in a hurry.

Tomorrow is the Zongzi Festival, I wish you all a happy holiday in advance, and a happy family ~o(n_n)o
