Chapter 937: A Twenty-Year Battle
Li Qianqian sat back in the chair, raised his head and motioned for Liu Er to sit too, and after Liu Er sat down, he sneered, "No matter what happens to the Lu Chamber of Commerce in the end, it has nothing to do with Miss Lu Wu, well, no, it's still a little related." ”
He got up and walked to the long table placed by the wall, poured hot water and made two cups of tea, first served it to Li Qianqian, and then walked back with his own cup and sat down.
Chunjiang and the others stood solemnly beside them, not moving.
Li Qianqian took the tea and said, "I remember, the reason why Master Lu wanted to step his youngest daughter's son back was because of the rules of the Fang family, and he wanted to use the way of his step-grandson to let the younger daughter and his wife leave the Fang family?"
"Yes. The Fang family's rules seem to be strict, but because there is a precedent, it ......"
The Fang family has a big business, and there is no shortage of daughter-in-law candidates in the photo, who are born in famous families and raised up rich and pampered.
Usually such a woman has grown up in the palm of her parents and family since she was a child, and as long as she does not step on the bottom line, her elders will generally turn a blind eye to indulgence, which is why it is not uncommon for her to be at odds with her husband after marrying a wife.
If it's just like that, it's okay, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law will not like it, and my concubine will not get along.
The Fang family once married a daughter-in-law who entered the door, because of various setbacks in life, which caused them to take extremely radical measures to seek relief.
One is Miss Lu Wu's husband's ninth great-uncle and grandmother, the daughter of a wealthy family, who was disliked by her mother-in-law, disgusted by her husband, and excluded by her concubines, and even her own children were bought by her husband's favorite concubines.
She was a person who couldn't afford to lose anything, so she used her dowry to buy a murderer, killed her mother-in-law, her husband and her concubine, oh, yes, her husband's favorite concubine, who represented all the good things, was sold to the mountain bandits cheaply by her.
This tragic case, which is similar to the destruction of the door, naturally cannot be concealed, and the yamen soon found out the truth, and the patriarchs of the Fang family and the clan elders believed that if this ninth great-uncle grandmother did not have cash in her hand, she would not be able to do such a tragic thing.
At this time, the absurd rules of the Fang family were still brewing, and before they really took shape, there was another similar case, this time it was the married aunt wife of the small eleventh room of the side branch, and the whole family was poisoned.
Because of the case of the nine great-uncles and grandmothers, the clansmen did not dare to report to the official, but reported to the patriarch as soon as possible, and the patriarch personally took someone to investigate.
The bride becomes a widow as soon as she enters the door, which is naturally annoying, especially since her husband died before she has given birth, and the double mother-in-law is worried that she will not be able to keep it, and wants to give her a stepchild.
At this time, her eldest sister-in-law came out and wanted her mother's family to pass on her youngest son to her younger brother's widowed wife, but the younger sister refused, because her husband was dragged out to drink by the eldest sister-in-law's husband, so he died in an accident.
The sister-in-law and the little widow almost tore their faces, and suddenly one day, the sister-in-law asked the little widow to go out through her mother-in-law to incense, the little widow refused to go, but her mother-in-law forced her to go, and after going out unwillingly, she suffered the biggest disaster in her life, she was betrayed by the maids around her, and then kidnapped and bullied.
When she escaped back after nine deaths, her in-laws wanted her life, and her mother-in-law said that only when she died, would she not let her youngest son's reputation be humiliated after his death, and her father-in-law said that the Fang family did not have a daughter-in-law like her who attracted bees and butterflies, and her husband had only been dead for less than a year, so he couldn't wait to go out to seduce men.
The little widow wanted to say that she was forced out by her mother-in-law, and her maid was bribed by her eldest sister and deliberately led her to be kidnapped.
She refused to die, and her companions worked hard to protect her and save her life for the time being, but she was worse than dead, because when she escaped, she was seriously injured and had a high fever, and her in-laws also saw that she was in danger, so they temporarily held back and did not call her to die immediately, if she was destined to die, why did they bother to make this killing!
That night, the eldest sister-in-law came to visit her and told her the details of the whole thing, the eldest sister-in-law's husband owed a large amount of gambling debts because he was designed, and he borrowed money from his brother-in-law who had the best relationship with him, and the brother-in-law told him very honestly that he had no money, although the Fang family was rich, but it was family property, which belonged to the public school, and the private property of the individual was limited.
So the eldest brother-in-law turned his target to the dowry of his brother-in-law's wife.
He asked his brother-in-law to take money from his wife, so that he could pay off his gambling debts, and the brother-in-law also wanted to be embarrassed, how could he open this mouth to his newlywed wife, and during an argument with his eldest brother-in-law, the eldest brother-in-law accidentally pushed the younger brother-in-law down the mountain and fell to his death.
The eldest brother-in-law panicked, ran home and told his wife that although the eldest sister-in-law was also sad about the death of the younger brother, the husband and the younger brother, one was about to worry about his life, and the other was already dead.
The eldest sister-in-law's brain turned fast, the younger brother died, and there was one less person to borrow money, and when his new wife entered the door, Shili Red Makeup was very rich.
The younger brother died, he died before he had children, thinking that his wife was rich in marriage, the eldest sister-in-law returned to her parents' house, and persuaded her parents to give her younger son to her younger brother to avoid falling down, and secondly, to give her brother-in-law a sustenance, so that she could not keep it and embarrass the Fang family.
Her parents are worried about this matter, let their daughter say this, immediately moved, but the father is worried that this move will make his daughter's situation in the in-law's family difficult, and at the same time he thinks that the son of the step-concubine will give the younger son, who are his own children and grandchildren, as long as he is the grandfather's speech, I believe that the concubine and his wife will readily agree, without facing all kinds of difficulties of the in-laws.
Moreover, the child's biological father and mother live in the same house, and I believe they will be happy to help the little daughter-in-law take care of the child.
The father thinks so, but the mother learns from her daughter that the crisis faced by their young husband and wife, in order to help her daughter and son-in-law get out of the predicament, she does not hesitate to use her mother-in-law's identity to suppress the little daughter-in-law and force her to go out with her sister-in-law to make incense.
The eldest sister-in-law saw that the younger brother-in-law was about to die, and she was very proud, because as soon as she died, no one would object to her son's succession to the younger brother, and the dowry left by the younger brother-in-law would be all her son's, and her husband's gambling debts would also be settled.
What she never imagined was that the younger brother-in-law learned all this before she died, and when she returned to the light, she ordered the companion room around her to buy poison and come back, and after the death of the younger brother-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law took her husband and children to live with her mother because she wanted to pass her son to the younger brother's house.
At this time, after all, under the double persuasion of his wife and daughter, the father nodded and agreed to pass his daughter's youngest son to his younger son, and the mother felt very comforted, and the eldest sister-in-law felt complacent, and what she wanted was successfully obtained after all, so she took her husband and child to the residence of the younger brother and wife, and wanted to inspect the dowry treasury of the younger brother and daughter-in-law.
At that time, it was cold, and there was no charcoal stove in the warehouse, so the family was not lightly frozen, and as soon as they came out to accompany the room to send fragrant mutton soup, the family couldn't wait to drink it all in one gulp, and then died of poisoning.
As soon as the patriarch checked, they knew what the eldest sister-in-law and his wife had done, and when his parents learned that the younger son had died at the hands of the eldest son-in-law, the whole person was blinded.
It didn't take long for the strange rules of the Fang family to take shape, in fact, from the perspective of outsiders, it was never the daughters-in-law who had the dowry that were wrong, but the people who caused them to act like this, the ninth great-uncle and grandmother, her methods were fierce, but if it wasn't for the persecution and exclusion of her mother-in-law, concubine and husband, how could she do such a thing?
The latter was even more innocent and killed, and it was the sister-in-law and his wife who did bad things, one of them first killed his brother-in-law by mistake, and the other designed to frame his brother and daughter-in-law, just to want to snatch other people's dowry, and the wrong thing was that they wanted money that did not belong to them, instead of blaming others for sitting on money and not wanting to share their money for them to repay their gambling debts.
"How could Master Lu marry his daughter to such a family in the first place?" asked Li Qianqian.
Liu Er thought about it, and finally only shook his head and sighed, "Maybe it's because Uncle Fang is good-looking and has touched Miss Lu Wu's heart, right?"
When Li Qianqian heard him say this, he couldn't help laughing, and then sighed, "Miss Lu Wu and her husband should have a good relationship, right?" Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent so much money buying jewelry for their sisters-in-law.
There are people who can spend a lot of money in Tianbaofang, but there are not many who are sincere, so Miss Lu Wu's grandmother Fang was immediately included in the list of distinguished guests.
"I heard that the wives and wives of the Fang family, even though they have a lot of dowries, these dowries can only be used on weekdays, and they can only come in handy when their daughters marry and their sons marry wives. ”
Many of the daughters-in-law of the Fang family who married into the door had a reputation for wisdom when they were in the boudoir, and after they got married, their intelligence and wisdom were probably consumed in the house.
Perhaps because of this, the reputation of the Fang family's daughters is actually not very good, mediocre, and it is probably the best comment for them.
Especially the eldest sister-in-law, who was notorious, the daughter of the Fang family once suffered a heavy decline in the marriage market, no matter how much she married, no one cared about it.
Before Miss Lu Wu entered the door, the daughter of the Fang family was in the social circle, and all of them were childish and similar comments. Liu Er said softly.
Li Qianqian shook his head, "So these elders of the Fang family let Miss Lu Wu use her dowry to teach the children like this?"
"It should be her mother-in-law!" Miss Lu Wu's mother-in-law is also from a famous family, and she has been rich and pampered since she was a child, but she can obviously support her daughters, but because of the strange rules of her mother-in-law's family, she wants to give her daughter more good things, but she has to sneak it away, get caught, and be reprimanded by the elders.
In fact, the money that Miss Lu Wu spends on her sister-in-law is just a drop in the bucket she has, for her, spend a little money, you can get the love of her in-laws and sister-in-law, why not?
But once Master Lu passes away, I'm afraid that her good days will come to an end!
It is impossible for Miss Lu's mother and son to be like Master Lu, who allocates money from her own private treasury every month for her to squander, so she wants to open a shop to make money, which can be regarded as a precaution, and the method she thinks of can also be regarded as a loophole in the rules of the Fang family, as long as she does not use her dowry, and the person who opens the shop is her eldest sister or eldest sister's righteous son, the Fang family cannot use that rule to pressure her.
"She wants to open a shop to make money, that's her business, but she hit my people with the idea, it's not right. ”
Li Qian snorted coldly, and Liu Er asked, "Then, do you look at this matter......
"Just let her come, if she dares to come. Li Qian smiled lightly, "But ah, I think, she didn't dare to come by herself, because in this way, if I really repay her eldest sister's love debt, what will her eldest sister say when she asks back? I won't lie for her, but if she says that she will move Lu Run to come forward for her, and when her eldest sister comes back, Lu Run will naturally take the blame for her." ”
Liu Er asked again, "What if Lu Runzhen asked?"
"If he really asks, it means that we will find another partner in the future!"
Liu Er's jaw nodded, "I'll arrange it." "He's going to find a few more that can replace the Lu Chamber of Commerce.
Li Qianqian saw that he was full of interest, and couldn't help but want to splash him with cold water, "You save it! As long as Lu Run is not stupid, he will not abandon us and go to Miss Lu Wu, after all, he still wants to take advantage of our momentum to suppress Second Master Lu and them." ”
Liu Er reacted at this time, and blushed embarrassedly.
Before Liu Er left, Feng Gongzi came over, watched Liu Er walk away, and couldn't help but ask Li Qianqian what was going on.
Li Qianqian showed him Lu Run's post and told him about Miss Lu Wu.
"The rules of the Fang family are very famous in the Xiangcheng area, and Master Lu didn't know how to agree to this family affair at the beginning. Feng Gongzi smiled and said to Li Qianqian, "Our Feng family doesn't have such stinky rules, the daughter-in-law's dowry naturally has to be managed by themselves, and the husband's family sends a steward to take care of it, so why aren't you afraid that these stewards will take advantage of their daughter-in-law?"
"Maybe they believe that these people don't dare to snub these housewives, but they don't know that these male masters treat their wives and daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law like this, even if these stewards don't dare to snub these housewives on the surface, but in private, who will take these hostesses in their eyes?"
Therefore, the catastrophe of the destruction of the Fang family is actually close at hand, but the person at the helm of the Fang family can't see it, and he can't see it.
Feng Gongzi paused for a long time, raised his eyebrows and said to Li Qianqian, "Look, should we send someone to keep an eye on it, so that we can pick up the bargain when the time comes?"
The Fang family is also a well-known family in the Xiang family, once it is destroyed, the grange and shop in his hand will not be able to be saved, so he is ready to make a fortune when the time comes!
Li Qian smiled and nodded, turned his head to Chunjiang and said, "When the time comes, you can also pick up a bargain, and you will have a dowry when you go back." ”
Chunjiang blushed a few times, but he didn't refute it, but nodded, they are all in their early twenties, the sect leader is going to be engaged, they all know in their hearts, they can't not marry for the rest of their lives, but Chunjiang Chunshou has long planned that after getting married, she will come back to Li Qianqian to be a housekeeper's mother, Mother Ye is not young, they come back to take over her class, she can also be easier.
Although Yang Liu is still young, the time is too fast, and when they get married and want to come back to wait, I am afraid it will not be so easy, but they can still come back to be the mother of the little boy and the little lady.
A few maids have already discussed it, but they haven't picked it out yet, besides, Li Qianqian hasn't married yet, and their object has not yet been decided, so it's too early to say it.
Although they had already said it in private, how could they not feel ashamed in the face of Feng Gongzi!
Feng Gongzi saw that they were blushing like something, so he kindly asked them to retreat and rest first, and he dragged Li Qianqian to the courtyard to make a move.
"In the morning, the Great Sect Master instructed me, but I just didn't figure it out, can you help me take a look?"
Li Qianqian happily agreed, and Feng Gongzi each broke a branch, and compared it like this, and by the time Li Shu came over, the two of them had been fighting for an hour.
Seeing these two little ones so diligent, Li Shu expressed his gratification, and when he saw them coming over, he said, "I received an invitation letter from Mingjian Villa." ”
"The invitation letter of the Famous Sword Villa?" Feng Gongzi was stunned, took it and took a look, he had one, Li Qianqian also had one, and Li Shu also had one, this is ......
"The competition between the Famous Sword Villa and the Famous Sword Villa is held once every twenty years. Li Shu answered for them, "I'm not interested in this." "Because the people used in the competition may be famous swords or famous swords, but the people who fight with these weapons are not famous experts, so it is completely unwatchable to watch them fight!
"Are you going?" asked Li Shu.
"Don't go. Li Qianqian replied categorically.
Feng Gongzi pondered for a long time, "I have to go back and ask." "Because of such a major event, Fengjiazhuang will definitely send someone to record it.
