Mr. Li didn't mention repaying the money at every word, but every word meant repaying the money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With that said, what else is there to say?

Gao Jingyi had to brush his sleeves away.

When Gao Jingyi left, Master Li called the housekeeper over and asked, "Except for Zhao Gao's two mansions, what are the movements in the other mansions?"

"Master Qiqi, there is no movement in other mansions, it is the ...... of Xu's mansion"

"Xu Da and Xu Er haven't come back yet?" He also knows a little about the second aunt and grandmother of the Xu Mansion.

Steward Li replied, "Not yet." ”

"If you don't come back, you won't be afraid, keep an eye on these mansions, as long as their wives and daughters are here, he can run away from the monk, and he can run away from the temple?"

After sending Li Guan out, Master Li leaned back in the chair, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said to himself: "It's better for them to run away, so that I want their wives and daughters, wouldn't it be more open......"

On the sixteenth day of the first month, the yamen was sealed, Xu Zhongyan made people line up in the early morning of the same day, and as soon as the morning dawned, he urged his eldest brother Xu Boyan to go to the government office, and sounded the drum of grievances, and then the Li Mansion of Shangyuan County became the bitter master of the first state of Jiangning Mansion in the fourteenth year of Taiping.

This lawsuit lasted for three months, in order to win the lawsuit, Mrs. Xu brought all the cash that the family could take out to the two sons.

Things have developed so far, Mrs. Xu no longer thinks about what to do with the debts in half a year, and the current top priority is to wash away the grievances of the eldest granddaughter, not only for the eldest granddaughter, but also for the other granddaughters in the house who have not yet married.

For Mrs. Xu, her grandson is a treasure, but her granddaughter is not a grass!

And in the summer garden, Mama Li and Mama Zhou pray to God and worship Buddha every day, bless the eldest master and the second master to win the lawsuit, Mama Zhou even thought that if the silver in the house is not enough, she is hiding from Miss, and she has to take 10,000 taels to pass, no matter what, Miss can't be affected by her reputation.

On the other hand, Eleven Niang is very calm to read, take classes, practice calligraphy, and the store doesn't care, the ready-to-wear clothes made by the servants in the house a few years ago are collected after they are done, and let Yu Xing take good care of them, and let the warehouse transfer dozens of pieces of cloth over to let them continue to make ready-to-wear clothes, and they don't say what to do. The only thing that made her interested in the Bodhi sub business, after February, because of the madness of Lotus Bodhi and Five Eyes and Six Links Bodhi in the capital, Eleven Niang cleared all the inventory in her hands, except for the kickback to Wu Ming, a total of 10,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of silver, according to the current ratio of one tael of gold can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, which adds up to 150,000 taels of silver.

Although the silk reeling factory officially started after the year, but because of the lawsuit, the capital chain in the house was officially broken, Mrs. Xu had no choice but to let the silk reeling factory stop, Li Fu received the news, took the opportunity to pry all the workers away.

This incident made the entire Xu Mansion even more noisy.

The actions of the Li Mansion in the New Year became more obvious, the female dependents of the Wen Mansion, the Xie Mansion, and the Wang Mansion wanted to go out of the city, but they were all stopped, and the various mansions went to ask for explanations, and the Li Mansion responded that as long as the debts were paid off, such things would not happen again.

"Mama, I heard Yu Er say in the morning that Master Gao took 10,000 taels of silver to the Li Mansion, but he was refused. "Yu Er is Yu Shuqing, he is second in the family.

Mama Li frowned and sewed a few stitches, and said, "No, I heard that the Li Mansion wants them to pay off their debts at one time, and they don't accept to repay their debts in batches." ”

The fourth lady wrenched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and said angrily: "How can this Li family be like this, it's the same as putting Yinzi money!"

Mama Zhou glanced at her and said softly, "Isn't it just Yinzi money?" ”

The fourth lady weakly let go of the corners of her tortured clothes, and sighed lightly: "What can I do about this!"

Yesterday, Aunt Lin came to her room to say that Mrs. Tai did everything she could in order to win the lawsuit this time, and the silver smashed into it was nearly 20,000 taels, 20,000 taels, and I heard that the silver earned a year ago was more than 20,000 taels, and there was a debt of tens of thousands of taels half a year later, so what should I do!

Glancing at Eleven Niang, she said depressedly: "Eleventh sister, why do you still have the leisure to practice calligraphy now, I'm dying!"

Shi Niang stopped writing, a smile pulled out of the corner of her mouth, and said: "What's the hurry, the sky is falling and there is a grandmother on top, grandmother can't stand it, there is an uncle on top, an uncle can't stand it, and a second uncle, it won't crush us to death." ”

When the fourth lady heard her say this, she was angry: "I'm nervous alone in the whole house, don't you?" As she spoke, the corners of the fourth lady's eyes began to redden, and she blinked her eyes, and a teardrop dripped down: "The Zhao Mansion is finished, the Li Mansion went to move all the things that their family could move the day before yesterday, and I heard that several little ladies in the Zhao Mansion were also taken away, and Grandma Zhao hanged herself!"

These things, Eleven Niang knew yesterday, and even she knew more than the fourth lady, Mama Li inquired, the little lady of Zhao Mansion was taken away for a price, two thousand taels of concubines, one thousand taels of concubines, after knowing, Mama Zhou specially placed a statue of Guanyin in the fourth room, and solemnly worshiped for a long time, saying that it was thanks to Guanyin Niangniang for making her own young lady make a lot of money, and she will be a vegetarian for many years to repay Guanyin Niangniang.

After Eleven Niang heard it, she didn't react, but she was glad that the vegetarian food here also includes chicken, duck, goose and fish!

But because of this incident, she realized the horror of this era, it turns out that here, women are also a valuable property!

Because the money given was enough and the evidence was sufficient, Aunt Lin was finally sentenced to exile, and after the death of the second lady, the Lin family did not agree to let her be buried in the ancestral grave anyway, and Xu Boyan did not want to take her back to the ancestral grave of the Xu family, after all, this daughter brought too much shame to her family, and she died in the New Year, and finally the two brothers discussed it and decided to bury her in Yizhuang.

When the fourth lady knew about this, Master Xu had already taken care of everything and came back, she knew that her father was not affectionate, but custom forced him to do this, but she still couldn't accept it, so she could only sit alone in the boudoir without a word, crying silently.

When Mrs. Xu found out, she didn't say that her son did the right thing, nor did she say that what they did was wrong, but just silently recited: "Amitabha!"

After talking about the second lady's funeral, Master Xu first looked up at his mother's expression, and then said cautiously: "Mother, we all know what you asked Ming Lu to do, and it was for this reason that the second brother was delayed in Fucheng." ”

Mrs. Xu looked up at her eldest son and asked, "When did the contract you signed with the Li Mansion expire?"

Master Xu raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and whispered, "August 16." ”

Mrs. Xu said calmly: "Then do you have a guarantee for repaying the money?"

Master Xu immediately knelt on his knees, his lips squirmed for a long time, and finally he only whispered two words: "Mother-"

"Okay," Mrs. Xu stood up, and her calm voice couldn't hear the joy and sorrow: "You are also tired during this time, go down to rest first, and in two days, you will take Steward Xu to count the property in the lower mansion." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the hall without looking at this son.
