When they received the news from Feng Gongzi, Li Qianqian and the others were about to leave for Nanchu.

Zhang Duoli and her master Zhang Ruiyi came from the Northern Jin Dynasty a few days ago, accompanied by Miss Lu, seeing Zhang Duoli's master and apprentice, Li Qianqian was not surprised, because Feng Gongzi's letter said that the things handed over to Master Zhang had progressed, and he seemed to find out something from that picture.

Seeing Miss Lu again, Li Qianqian was really surprised.

"Why is Sister Lu here?"

"When you go back to Nanchu this time, I don't know when you will see each other again. Miss Lu sighed, reached out and touched Li Qianqian's head, "Before Brother Run'er can be in charge, I probably won't have much chance to travel far, so." She took a wooden box from the hand of the personal maid, "I urged the master of the silver building to hurry up, but the old man said that the things that were driven out were not good-looking! When you arrive, I probably don't have time to attend!" Miss Lu said with some regret, the girl in front of her, when she was at her lowest, rushed over from Nanchu thousands of miles away.

In her heart, the girl in front of her is more important than her sisters, if she can, she really doesn't want to disappoint her, but it's a pity, she has a family responsibility, she can't let her father regret and disappoint.

Li Qianqian took the box, then hugged Miss Lu, and leaned on Miss Lu's arms with a slightly sour nose.

Li Shu took a look, the master and apprentice of the Lingzhang family went to the study, Lan Hai motioned to Yunzhu to take Lan Tang with him, Chunjiang and Chunshou, one went to make tea, the other went to fetch water to prepare for the sect leader and Miss Lu to wash, and did not forget to take away Miss Lu's maids before leaving.

Li Qianqian and Miss Lu sat on both sides of the kang table, Li Qianqian asked about Lu Run, Miss Lu smiled very contentedly, "He is a smart child, and what is more valuable is that he is a grateful and kind child, he often accompanies my father to listen to him, and my father is very happy." Miss Lu smiled.

Miss Lu has a few sisters, who have been taught by Master Lu since they were children, but unfortunately when they grow up, the sisters are not hearty, although they know that everyone has selfishness, it is not an exaggeration to have selfishness, but because of selfishness, they calculate their relatives?

Thinking of the news she received yesterday, Miss Lu couldn't help but sigh.

Li Qianqian looked at her and sighed secretly, but only said to her about the trivial things that her father and Lu Run got along with, and she knew that there was something wrong, but she didn't ask, if she wanted to know, just go back and ask Liu Er.

After Miss Lu finished talking about Lu Run and her father, she was a little embarrassed for a while and didn't know what to say, thinking of Lan Tang's strange appearance, she asked to change the atmosphere.

Miss Lu and Lan Tang are very good, Li Qianqian didn't hide it from her, and told her all the things that those people in the Meng family did, after listening to it, Miss Lu said thoughtfully, "I said!

"Wake up the portal?" asked Li Qianqian, surprised.

"Don't you know? The industry of Zhengqi Villa rarely changes the head of the company, but recently, all the heads of the industry of the Zhengqi Villa in the Northern Jin Dynasty have been replaced, and it is not an ordinary personnel change, and those who have been removed have all been sent to the government without exception. ”

Li Qianqian was really surprised at this time, generally speaking, people like them, if they want to clean up the portal, they have the services of the people below, and they don't need to do it personally, and of course they won't send it to the government for processing, because it is difficult to guarantee what the people who are sent to the government will say something.

But Meng Dasheng asked people to send them to the government?

Because she learned that her father was so angry with her sisters that she vomited blood, Miss Lu couldn't rest assured, and after sending the gift specially prepared for Li Qianqian, Miss Lu hurried back to the Northern Jin Dynasty.

Li Qianqian deliberately went to the dock to see her off, and when she saw the white captain next to Miss Lu waving goodbye to her on the boat, Li Qianqian was a little in a trance, it seems that Miss Lu Hongluanxing moved!

Coming back from the dock, Li Qianqian saw that Li Shu and the Zhang family's master and apprentice were still busy in the study, so he didn't bother them and went straight to Liu Er.

Liu Er's face was a little haggard, and when he heard her ask about the Righteous Qi Villa, he smiled unkindly, "After Lord Meng received the account book we sent, it took him some time to figure it out, and then he made a move. The masters in the villa were questioned and couldn't reply, and the three old ladies couldn't answer when asked, and they wanted to faint to escape from the past, but they didn't expect that they couldn't faint. ”

When Meng Dasheng's mother died, he was still young, but his mother's dowry was managed by others, and the third old lady was in charge of the family, but it did not mean that she had the right to manage his mother's dowry.

The third old lady stubbornly argued that his mother was short of money before her death, so she sold the shop to her cheaply.

Meng Dasheng took out his mother's dowry list, and when his mother died, she had enough silver to have one million taels of silver, and she was short of money? The third old lady still didn't give up and continued to talk nonsense, and all the clansmen in the hall were ashamed of the three rooms and the family, and her daughters-in-law collectively begged to go, because the old lady was even greedy for the property left by the orphans and mothers in the next room, if they had a case, would the old lady directly take advantage of the dowry they left for the children?

The daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law in the next room are also in danger, Meng Dasheng is so capable, but he can't even keep his mother's dowry, what about them?

Meng Dasheng not only wanted to recover his property, but even the income of these years demanded that the three old ladies and the Meng family return all of them.

Back then, it was because of the three old ladies that when they incorporated the shops into their own names, they also got a few shops for the public middle school, and the money in the public middle school was spent by everyone, so many people turned a blind eye to the behavior of the three old ladies.

When spending other people's money, it is enjoyable, but once the same thing can happen to oneself? Meng Dasheng is the patriarch and the head of the family, which does not mean that his private property is spent by the clansmen.

Now that people want to claim it back, are they embarrassed not to pay it back?

"These Meng family members are really shameless, they refuse to return the shop they forcibly occupied in the public to the Meng League master, and they also say that the public is short of money, and the patriarch should contribute his own shop. ”

"And then?"

"Lord Meng didn't say anything at the time, but when he turned around, he sent someone to take over the property under the name of the former patriarch. ”

"Former patriarch?"

Liu Er nodded, "The former patriarch is naturally not happy, if he wants to get his property back, he has to return the property that Gongzhong annexed Meng Dasheng." ”

It's not about himself, Meng Dasheng's mother's dowry shop was annexed by the public, and the income was shared by the whole clan, and the former patriarch naturally had a share, but when it was his turn to share the benefits of his industry by the clan, he was not happy.

In order to get back his inheritance, the former patriarch had to come forward to pressure the clansmen and return all Meng Dasheng's things to him.

After Meng Dasheng took back the ownership, he began to urge the clansmen to repay the income owed to him, and when the third old lady saw the amount of the claim, she almost fainted again, but she thought that she would be woken up by Shengsheng with a silver needle, so she didn't dare to faint.

The third old lady said that she didn't get so much money, and the Meng League Lord asked her to throw the inner accounts of the chief manager and the account room to her, and after the third old lady saw the inner accounts, she didn't faint, but vomited blood. ”

She probably couldn't have imagined that she was greedy for others, and others were greedy for her, and from the first day she got the shop, her people had been carrying her behind her back and stealing money from the shop!

What she forcibly occupied was Meng Dasheng's mother's marriage in the prosperous shop, and the monthly profits, to say the least, were thousands of taels, and now she finally knew why after it came to her own hands, the income was directly cut in half, she originally thought that her own people were not good at management, but now she knows the reason.

Now that she knows the reason, she wants to recover the money, but she is the god of wealth passing by, and she has to return all the money to Meng Dasheng after she gets it.

At the beginning, there were still many clansmen who wanted to intercede with Meng Dasheng, but when they learned that all the shops in the public school had entered the official mansion, they knew that this time it would not end well.

Many uninformed clansmen began to make trouble, not understanding why the patriarch who was good to call suddenly turned his face and was ruthless, and after knowing the reason, the girls and wives who were embarrassed by Lantang were hated by the whole clan.

On weekdays, these people enjoy glory and wealth from above, and most of them are contemptuous and disdainful of these side tribesmen, because it turns out that the wealth is not theirs at all, but stolen from the patriarch.

Since then, the Meng family has begun to have a split appearance, the juniors of the Meng family are no longer rich in fine clothes and jade food, and no one has anyone to pay for their expenses, the sons are in mourning, and the girls are even more miserable, they can no longer afford to buy exquisite jewelry, they can no longer afford to wear the clothes and ornaments of the brocade shop, not to mention the rouge gouache of the Xiangyan Rouge Shop that they have to buy every month.

When the girls get together, it is inevitable to complain, some people blame Meng Da for being stingy and scheming, his mother left him so many shops, he is so rich, as the patriarch, he should let everyone enjoy happiness.

Of course, some people jumped out to accuse each other, making it clear that her mother also has a dowry shop, why not give it to the public middle school?

The girls were arguing, and some people said that if Lan Tang hadn't been embarrassed, maybe the patriarch wouldn't have been so angry.

Speaking of this, the girls present were all involved, thinking of what they did that day, many people blushed, all of them knew very well that it was Meng Dasheng who was interested in her, and he had been stalking people all these years, but when it came to their mouths, it was all the other way around, they were all girls, if someone treated them like they did that day, they were afraid that they would have been ashamed to die!

"You say, the patriarch is so angry, is it that Miss Lan was humiliated by us and died?"

"Will it?"

"If I was scolded like this, I, I would. One of the most shy girls said.

Several girls who were good friends with her also felt something, but some people still disagreed, "How can a person as cheeky as her be so easy to seek death?" The patriarch must have been deceived by her!"

"Even so, I don't know where she is! ”

"I think it's still Miss He from Shenjian Villa, she is kind and beautiful, and she treats people kindly. ”

Meng Dasheng stood in the attic not far away, pointing to a few of them who were talented and talking, "They don't cultivate their morals, let the upbringing grandmother teach well, so as not to ruin the reputation of the Meng family after leaving the cabinet in the future." ”

The little guy standing behind him promised to run, and then ran quickly to find the nurturing grandmother who Meng Da had only invited back before his birthday.

The next day, all the girls who lived in the Zhengqi Villa, regardless of whether they were engaged or not, were all moved to other courtyards and handed over to the nurturing grandmother who had just been invited from the palace to teach.

The ladies and wives rushed to find Meng Dasheng angrily, but they didn't see anyone, but they were received by Meng Dasheng's mother's companion.

The old lady smiled and welcomed people into the big flower hall, and they complained nonsense, and waited until they said that their mouths were dry and they closed their mouths impatiently, and then she said with a smile on her face, "The patriarch said, the girls of the Yanzhi branch are all coquettish, and they will represent the Meng family when they go out of the cabinet in the future, if they have a bad reputation, it will affect all the girls in the clan." ”

"So what? Our family's marriage has been decided, and she will be out of the cabinet in half a year, she is rushing to embroider the wedding dress, what kind of parenting class should she go to? If the wedding date is delayed, who will be responsible?"

"That's it. ”

The old lady's smile remained the same, and there was the name of Jiaojing on the list in her heart, well, it was this girl who took the lead in humiliating Miss Lan.

"Our Chanjuan's marriage is looking at each other, and I finally arranged it, what if I delay her marriage because of this work?"

Chanjuan also has her on the list.

The complaints came and went, and the patriarch was not taken seriously at all, and the old lady was extremely angry, but there was no show on her face.

The old lady smiled slightly, Miss Jingjing's mother urged her sister to marry her grandfather, hum! Her sister was divorced home because of her tongue and indifference, such a woman still wants to marry Miss's only son?

The old lady turned a deaf ear to their complaints, and was so angry that all the ladies and wives jumped to their feet, and the mother of the girl rushed forward with an arrow, wanting to slap the old lady, but as soon as she moved, she found that she couldn't move.

The others didn't notice her abnormality, and they were all firing at the old woman, but as long as someone wanted to rush forward, they would find that they couldn't move, and they opened their mouths and screamed, but they couldn't hear their own voice!

What's going on?

The old lady looked at them all with a frightened face, and sneered in her heart, the Meng family is really going downhill! These ladies and wives of the Yanzhi branch are so frightened after they are pointed? Have they forgotten that the Zhengqi Villa started with martial arts?

Thinking about it, if the Meng family hadn't been supported by her grandfather, I'm afraid it would have declined long ago!

What's wrong with them? What kind of magic is this? How can they not move? Master! Come and save us!

As if seeing the shouts in their hearts, the old lady walked up to them and smiled slightly, "This is a point point, the old body is old, but I can't afford to rub the ladies and wives, so the patriarch specially sent someone to protect it, as long as someone comes forward and is too close to the old body, it will be pointed." ”

The old lady nodded to the guards hidden in the shadows, and her mother felt that something seemed to hit her, she exclaimed, and found that she could make a sound, she still couldn't react, and raised her hand to cover her throat, "This is...... Can I speak?"

"The patriarch said, as the head of the Meng family, he has the responsibility to discipline the unworthy descendants of the clan, if the ladies are not satisfied, no problem, he will be as you wish, the ladies and their families will be expelled from the Meng family, so that there is no need to be disciplined by the patriarch. ”

"Does he think we're rare?" roared Lady Jingniang.

The old lady nodded when she heard this, and said to the elder sitting in the corner, "You heard that people disdain!

The elder's face was pale, and he opened his mouth to speak, but the maid standing in front of him stretched out her hand and lit up in front of him, and the elder was immediately frightened, lowered his head and raised the pen and drew a line on the notebook in front of him.

Ji Jingniang didn't expect the elders of the clan to be here, so she was so frightened that she sat on the ground with her legs weak, and she couldn't speak for a long time.
