The old lady kept her son in her meditation hall and refused to let him go.

The next person came to report that the lady was looking for the grandfather of the country, and when the old lady heard it, she wiped her tears and sighed.

Su Shi wants to go but doesn't dare to go, on one side is his old mother, on the other is his favorite wife, and he is in a dilemma.

In the past, the old lady felt sorry for her son and was unwilling to embarrass him, and the mother would always take a step back for her child.

But now she found that she couldn't let it go on like that.

The old lady really hardened her heart, and Su Shi couldn't resist it.

He is an official of the imperial court, and if he goes first on the front foot, and the back foot is about his unfilial mother, the name of the mediocre woman will have to be placed on his head.

Now his already bad reputation is only going to be even worse.

Originally, he only took leave with the emperor for a few days, but just now he received news from the people in the palace, and the saint didn't say it so clearly, but as far as he figured it out, due to the direct advice of the official, the emperor wanted him to rest at home for a while.

Once a man has tasted the benefits of power, he is willing to give up easily.

Su Shi is idle at home, the date of reinstatement is far away, and many years of learning and training have been ruined like this, where can he be willing.

Things outside were a mess, and the two women in the house also gave him a headache.

Su Shi's current mood can be imagined to be poor.

He kept glancing at the old lady with his eyes, hoping that the old lady would see the embarrassed look on his face.

The old lady saw it, and her heart flashed with unbearability, her mouth squirmed a few times, and finally closed it.

She coughed lightly a few times in disguise, then took a few sips of ginseng tea on the side, and turned her head to bring up another topic, "Now that Gu Yinyin has become Mrs. Anguo, looking at the saint, she wants to make a face for her, so her dowry ....."

Speaking of this, Su Shi also knows a little, not to mention that it has been spread all over the outside.

The British duke not only divorced his wife, but also coveted the other party's dowry.

Heaven and earth conscience, he really didn't think so much that day.

At that time, Gu Yinyin's dowry had already filled the hole in the family's account book, and the 1,000 taels she gave her was taken out by him by emptying his private room.

There is really no extra money at home.

Besides, as far as Gu Yinyin and a sick and crooked daughter can spend more, even if they give a thousand taels, I'm afraid there will be more.

Which Cheng thought, after more than ten years, the other party still came to turn over the old accounts.

It's hateful.

Su Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Give them back." ”

Old lady: "Although life in the house is better now, if we really want to return the items on the dowry list of Gu Yinyin intact, our house will also have to break our bones." ”

"What's more, there are a lot of books, calligraphy and paintings that have been pawned, and if they are exchanged for the corresponding money.... The point on our account is probably not enough. ”

The one who came in later, except for bringing a daughter who dragged oil bottles, was the one who entered the door alone, and he couldn't count on it at all.

"Instead of letting that daughter come to the door to ask for it, it is better for us to take the initiative to return it ourselves, and we can still look better on our faces. Su Shi's dark and dull face was particularly ugly.

"Besides, the Holy One is paying a lot of attention to them at the moment, and it can be regarded as following the holy will. ”

The old lady also thought so in her heart, so she took the initiative to mention this matter.

According to her true thoughts, what she eats in her mouth is not justified in spitting it out.

Moreover, it was not a matter of a little silver tael, but it was almost about to empty out their British mansion.

Over the years, the family has finally accumulated some family funds.....

The old lady thought about it, but still took out a copper keychain from her clothes, "This is the key to my private vault, you can take it." ”

"Inside is my dowry and some goodies .... All of them should be enough. ”

This set of keys, even when the British Mansion was in the most difficult time, she didn't even think to take it out, who let there be an ancient sound on top at that time.

I didn't expect to go around and around, and I had to take it out in the end.

Su Shi hesitantly took the key from the old lady's hand, "After the current predicament is solved, the son must add everything to his mother." ”

The old lady waved her hand, "Okay, anyway, I will leave these things to you and the two grandchildren in the future." ”

Gu Yinyin pulled Su Lizheng and pouted his buttocks, and took out the rare objects rewarded by the emperor one by one.

The novelty at the beginning, after seeing too much, became numb.

Gu Yinyin played with a black sandalwood-like Buddha bead and pouted, "This thing doesn't feel as good as the string you gave me." ”

Su Li also came over, looked at it casually, and smiled indifferently: "Anyway, it's all for you, wear it and play with it." ”

Just as the mother and daughter were chatting, they heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Gu Yinyin raised her head vigilantly, "It won't be their house again, right?"

She is a soldier who has been made by the British government, and every time the bell rings on the eaves, the person who knocks on the door is related to the British government.

Why are they so haunted?

Su Li appeased Gu Yinyin, who was about to explode, "It's better to go out and have a look, maybe it's a good thing." ”

As soon as the door was opened, there were boxes carried outside the door, and the subordinates of the British Mansion carried things into the house, and after explaining their intentions, they left quickly.

Gu Yinyin looked at the familiar cage and the old objects in his memory, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

"This one, your grandfather specially bought it for me from the outside, and this one.... It was your grandmother's dowry, it was your grandmother who passed it on to her, and she passed it on to me..."

And on the books of the British government, which had a lot of blood, now a single penny is gone.

The blood bird's nest, which was originally supplied to the ladies of the house every day, was also removed.

Zhu Liusha couldn't find his father-in-law when he wanted to, and he was helpless by Su Ying's tears, and his face was much haggard.

As a result, when it was time for her to use blood bird's nest every day, the kitchen staff did not serve the dessert for a long time.

After asking the messenger, I found out that it was ordered by Grandpa Guo.

This is not only the case with Zhu Liusha, the main mother, but also with the two young ladies and the young master.

The daily standard of six dishes and one soup, one side dish, and dessert was reduced to three dishes and one soup.

The British government originally bought a lot of shops, and part of the good land belonged to the dowry of Gu Yinyin, and some of it was sold for money.

If there is no additional income, it is enough to live a rich life just by relying on Soviet-style silver, but if you want to be luxurious, it is still far from enough.

You must know that no one in the capital, Wang Sun, a high-ranking official, lives on that little money.

The changes in the house, Su Ying felt the most, and her already sensitive temperament became more and more awkward.

Before, the house has always been a kind father and mother, and Su Ying has always been smooth, and no one has found the shortcomings in her temperament, but now when it is becoming more and more obvious, Zhu Liusha has found out, and she can't twist it.
