Chapter 34: I'm the eldest sister
P.S.: Thank you Caiting book friends for the peace charm! There will be a total of three watches today.
Zhiruo said calmly: "I'm the eldest sister." The voice was not loud, but it was full of firm belief and a sense of responsibility, which touched everyone present.
Mrs. Tie's eyes moistened, knowing that she had heard Tie Muyuan's experience in Luocheng Qiu's house, a gentle little girl who was innocent and didn't know how to worry about it grew up quickly in one day, and she also took the risk to rush back to the capital, but it turned out that she only relied on the words "I am the eldest sister".
Princess Jing was also moved: "Your father and mother will be very relieved to hear this in the sky." Now there are many people in the capital who know that the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion immediately "persuaded" Yin Zhiruo, who had just finished worshipping the church, after hearing the bad news of the Yin family, and there were all kinds of feelings, some people scolded the Qiu family for falling into the ground, and some people sighed that if they were shrewd and backbone...... She originally wondered if Zhiruo was hiding too much on weekdays, but now she felt that she was thinking too much.
The eldest son and eldest daughter of a big family and a big family are all particularly carefully educated, and the calculations and abilities are still secondary, and the family responsibility and the responsibility as the eldest son (daughter) are the first to bear the brunt, and the sense of responsibility is a deep bone marrow for them.
Princess Jing herself is also the eldest daughter, and this feeling is naturally very deep: "Good boy, with an eldest daughter like you, your father and mother will naturally rest assured that they will explain your younger siblings and important things to you, but you are still young." ”
Zhiruo's face was not a trace of anything unusual except for grief and chagrin: "Xu Zhiruo is useless, so my father and mother never tell me about them." On the day I went out, they only told me to be a good wife of the Qiu family in the future and not to care about the affairs of the Yin family, so Yan's mother persuaded me to stay in the Qiu family as a concubine that day. But how can I leave my father and mother and my younger siblings behind and just want to be at peace? Even if they are gone, I have to take their spiritual throne to be with me. Tuo Mengzhi said, she believed that Tie Muyuan would not even be able to say it to Mrs. Tie, and Princess Jing would naturally be even more unlikely to know.
Princess Jing's voice was full of pity: "It's hard for you to suddenly encounter a big disaster, but you didn't think that you would be implicated if you didn't want to go back to Beijing rashly." ”
Zhiruo's eyes flashed with tears: "If I don't go back to this trip, I won't be at peace for the rest of my life, even if I am implicated, there is nothing wrong with being together as a family." ”
Madame Tie hurriedly said: "Don't mention it, don't you know if you still have a lot of things to deal with? Go back first! Your Uncle Tie said that you will only stay in the capital for three days." ”
Zhiruo nodded and saluted: "Thank you for the help of the princess and Aunt Tie this time, Zhiruo retired first." ”
Watching Zhiruo go out, Princess Jing sighed again: "It's still that innocent and kind character, she can be regarded as touching one step at a time, but she has come to the point." "I even thought that staying in the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion as a concubine was "just trying to be peaceful", the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion would do that, what was the intention, and a discerning person could figure it out after a little thought, and when the huge dowry was calculated, where would she be kind to the daughter of a criminal minister?
With such a temperament, it is strange that Yin Zhao and the county lord of Qianxin will give her a big deal, and one accidentally killed her first.
Fortunately, their husband and wife are very calculating, so they can be regarded as leaving a large amount of property to their children, and they have no worries about food and clothing. It's just that Yin Zhiruo can keep it? Although she can see from her table just now that she should have not looked down on her mother Qianxin County Lord to deal with things in the past, and she is also a little smart, and has inherited some of her mother's business talents, but the nature of the country is easy to change, and many times, temperament is more important than ability. Yin Zhiruo took his younger siblings to guard such a big fortune, it was dangerous! As long as there were a few minions who ate inside and out, it was enough to choke.
Mrs. Tie smiled: "Who said it wasn't? The girl herself thought of it, no, the shop was sold, the rent was rented, and the small Zhuangzi were all sold, leaving only two big Zhuangzi." I heard our master say that the servants and maids also let go of a lot, as long as they didn't make a mistake and intended to leave, they not only let go of the whole family's identity deed, but also gave a hundred taels of silver to settle down. ”
"Oh, he's a smart, know-how kid. Princess Jing almost didn't applaud Zhiruo's actions, a shrewd person like the county lord of Qianxin, and the eldest daughter, the people who brought her must have been screened, and it is estimated that many of them are old people who have been waiting in the Yin family for many years. Yin Zhiruo is doing this now, not only eliminating those minions who have dissenting thoughts when he saw the fall of the Yin family, but also changing a good reputation for generosity and kindness. You must know that Yin Zhao and Qianxin County Lord's reputation is good, and their popularity is good, so many people don't believe that they will rebel this time, and there are so many people who defend and petition them, and even the emperor has to scruple.
Mrs. Tie didn't think it was incredible: "Daughter Xiao's mother, otherwise, why would everyone marry a daughter-in-law have to look at the character of the woman's mother? I think that before the Qi family had an accident, who thought that the county lord of Qianxin was shrewd and spicy?"
Princess Jing suddenly felt that her mouth was suddenly opened, but she always felt how much a person could change, but she forgot such a simple truth.
Leaving Yaxiu Pavilion, Zhiruo took Qiang Bo and the others to the big courtyard of Sanjin on Xiuming Street. It was originally the mansion of the Qi family, that is, the former general's palace. Because the general Wang Qifei was particularly fond of white cranes, and the large lotus pond in the back garden used to have white cranes staying, the lord of Qianxin County renamed the house as Crane Garden.
Zhiruo knew that in his previous life, not long after his death, the Qiu family moved to the capital, and the Crane Garden became the mansion of the Marquis of Qingyuan. During that time, the government had been busy moving into the capital, and she was still counting on being able to worship at her parents' graves after returning to Beijing, but she didn't even realize this last extravagant hope.
She also knew that in her previous life, not two months after her father's accident, Grandma Qiba's family, who lived in the Heyuan side courtyard, suddenly moved away. She didn't care about it at that time, after all, Heyuan already belonged to the Qiu family at that time. It's just that later, the Qiu family heard out of nowhere that as soon as Grandma Qi's family returned to their hometown in Huizhou, they bought a large mansion and a large amount of fertile fields, and also dedicated two peerless military books "Qi's Art of War" to Prince Ping, whose fief was in Huizhou, and donated an eight-grade official position to Grandma Qiba's eldest son.
At that time, the Marquis of Qingyuan, the Ji family, and Qiu Yiran interrogated her for a long time, asking her if she secretly gave the silver and the military book left by her grandfather to Grandma Qiba's family. It's a pity that Zhiruo didn't have a clue at all, he could only shake his head with a pair of blank eyes, and the Qiu family asked in vain, and the Ji family also scolded her for being a fool.
Don't blame the Qiu family for being careful, Qi Baye is just a very partial branch of the Qi family, after Qi Baye's death, Grandma Qi Ba took three sons and two daughters-in-law, seven or eight grandchildren, and a young daughter to the county lord of Qianxin. Seeing that they were still honest and that there were not many relatives and friends in the Qi family, the county lord of Qianxin County let them temporarily live in a small side courtyard in the Crane Garden, and Qi Dalang, the eldest son of Grandma Qi Ba, continued to take the test for the lifter who had not passed the test twice, while the others helped guard and clean the Crane Garden.
In such a family's situation, even if the county lord of Qianxin gave them more monthly silver than other hired people, even if their food and clothing were provided by the Yin family, they could save all of them without spending silver, and they couldn't afford to buy a big mansion and so many fertile fields, right?
And where did the "Qi Clan's Art of War" come from? The entire Qi family goes back to the 10th generation of their ancestors, and only Qi Fei and his son can connect with the word "Art of War."
But many years later, the puzzle was finally solved. Somehow, the drunken third son said in public that he was playing in the lotus pond in the Crane Garden, and accidentally found the secret box hidden under the crane statue in the middle of the lotus pond......
Reincarnated, Zhiruo naturally has no good feelings for Grandma Qi's family, but there is no need to resent, if they didn't steal those things back then, they would just cheapen the Qiu family for nothing.
But now, now that she knew the secret box, she knew that if she wanted to get her grandfather's things back, she wouldn't let anyone else take them, and the family didn't deserve her to treat them well. Thinking about how their mother had taken care of them for so many years, they didn't see them coming yesterday to send their father's and mother's coffins up the mountain. Listening to an old servant who sent the funeral, they claimed that they were temporarily living in the wedding courtyard of the wife of the prince of the Qiu family, and they had nothing to do with the Yin family and the county lord of Qianxin, who had conspired against the great crime.
