Chapter Ninety-One: Do Chapter Names Matter?
Liu Yunxiang got off the carriage and looked at the plaque of the Marquis of Jing'an, as if he had returned to his previous life.
At that time, she often stood outside this gate, looking at the hanging door plaque, and looked at it for a long time.
This lintel almost collapsed in the third year of her marriage, but she helped it up with her meager strength, and after forty years of hard work, she finally made the Jing'an Hou Mansion at the head of the eight great families.
But what did she get?
For her, this Houmen family is not glory, but a heavy burden, a cage that cannot be escaped. The dogma of the world trapped her in it, she loved and hated, and finally ended up alone.
But at that time, she had no regrets.
Until he was seriously ill in old age, he accidentally learned from those children that Xie Zi'an was still alive.
Those who she protected under her wings and worked hard to plan their future, although not much older than them, were still regarded as nephews and nieces cherished by the children, and they had been in contact with Xie Zi'an for many years behind her back.
That afternoon, she was standing behind the porch.
Xie Lincheng, the second son who has attacked the title of Marquis of Jing'an, said: "The third uncle is wandering outside, and it is time to go back to the house to recuperate, as for the third aunt, there is no need to inform her, she has to agree if she disagrees, after all, the surname of this family is Xie, not Liu." ”
The fourth girl, Xie Wenqing, is already married, or is she bothering to pull the strings, marrying Tanhualang back then, she was unwilling, blaming her for not having the ability to marry her into the family. Later, this Tanhualang competed for his spirit, rose all the way, and entered the cabinet at that time.
Remember the URL
She was dressed in jewels and sneered: "This is the Xie family, but the Xie family doesn't have to listen to the surnamed Liu." If you want me to say, it is our filial piety to take the third uncle and the third aunt outside back to the house for the elderly, but I am afraid that the third aunt at home will make trouble, which of you can deal with her?"
Xie Linyu, the third son, who has become a general, said angrily: "She is old, it is time for us to be the masters of the house, if she dares to disagree, she will be sent to the nunnery, so as to save the family from making trouble!"
Liu Yunxiang, who was standing outside and heard all this, only felt a thunder in her head, and she was shocked that Xie Zi'an was still alive, but he was alive but did not return to the Hou Mansion, leaving a woman who had shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Hou Mansion for many years. She was shocked that she raised children, who were full of filial piety on weekdays, but she was so heartfelt behind her back.
After that, she became even sicker, and when she was dying, she just wanted to take a look at Xie Zi'an and see how stupid she was in this life.
Now she is standing under the plaque of the Jing'an Hou Mansion again, she couldn't bear it before, and she just waited for Xie Zi'an to be killed by Liniang, and then stopped. As a result, Xie Zi'an did not die, and the Hou Mansion still held on to her, and she was willing to do so until she hollowed out her flesh and blood.
Then this time, she won't be soft-hearted.
"Madame, go in quickly. Xie Zi'an smiled calculatedly.
Liu Yunxiang nodded at him, and then walked inside the door of the mansion, and just as he walked to the front yard, the old lady Xie ran over with her little feet.
"Do you still have the face to go home?"
She was followed by the fourth girl, Xie Wenqing, who also looked disdainful, "Some people are incorruptible and shameful, but they are really thick-skinned!"
Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "Third master, who are they talking about, why can't I understand this?"
Xie Zi'an hurriedly ran over, pulled the old lady and Xie Wenqing aside, and muttered quietly for a while.
The old lady heard something, her eyes lit up, and Xie Wenqing couldn't suppress her excitement, "That Lingyun jewelry store will be our family in the future, I can take any jewelry I want?"
The two turned around again, smiling all over their faces.
"Yunxiang, we will still be a family in the future, and my mother will not treat you lightly. The old lady said with a smile.
"Yes, third aunt, we can't be too serious in the future, what is ours is yours, and yours is all of us, so that we can live a good life. Xie Wenqing also hurriedly said.
Liu Yunxiang smiled, and then said: "It's really cumbersome to want to put the account books of so many shops under Lingyun into the account books of the Hou Mansion, so let's do it for the time being, okay?"
"Are you in charge?" the old lady's voice rose a little, "is this necessary?"
Liu Yunxiang looked at Xie Zi'an, "Third Master, what do you say?"
Xie Zi'an thought for a moment, "Then it's time for you to be in charge!" By the way, I still owe three thousand taels of silver in the gambling house......
"When the account books are put together, I will take out all the silver deposited in the bank, not to mention three thousand taels, and three hundred and thirty thousand taels will be only a drop in the middle. ”
Hearing this, Xie Zi'an only felt that his eyes were full of golden light.
"Okay, you're in charge!"
This Hou Mansion was burned down by the Flying Eagle Village before, mottled and broken everywhere, but the Hou Mansion didn't even have the silver to repair, so it could only be dilapidated.
"Girl, you don't really want to come back, do you?" Zijin frowned.
Liu Yunxiang's eyes sank, "Xie Zi'an already knows Yan'er's background, I must kill him!"
Zijin's eyes widened, "How would he know?"
Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "I'll pry his mouth open!"
As he spoke, Liu Yunxiang took out a bulging purse from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Zijin.
"I'm going to have a family dinner tonight, and you stir the little clothes in the kitchen a few times. ”
"What is this?"
"The child who got the red brocade took it off. ”
Zijin was startled at first, and then said with relief: "This is how this kind of person should be dealt with!"
That night, the Hou Mansion held a family banquet.
The meals were all served on the table, and the Xie family sat down. The old lady sat in the right position, the big room had the eldest lady and the second son, the second room had the second master, the third son and the fourth girl, and the third room had Xie Zi'an.
Liu Yunxiang heard in the afternoon that Brother Kang was sent to her hometown not long after her mother's death.
"Well, why do I think the yard is empty?" said the eldest lady, looking left and right again, "What about the kite, she should be by my side." ”
The old lady was also puzzled: "Yes, although there are not many people in the house, it is not impossible to see anyone." ”
After the defeat of the Hou Mansion, those who did not sign the deed of sale ran away, and those who remained signed the deed of sale, and they did not dare to run if they wanted to.
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, a group of subordinates came over with a soft back.
"One by one, you are going to turn the sky upside down, you have all signed a deed of sale, how can you leave if you want to?" the old lady shouted.
Liu Yunxiang said: "I gave them all the deed of sale." ”
"What are you doing here?"
"The ones left behind are either clumsy or old, and none of them are useful. I'm going to change a group of people, and I'll be here tomorrow, and you guys will stick to it for one night. ”
The eldest lady frowned, "How can anyone not want to leave?"
"Madam, you can ask and see who wants to stay. Liu Yunxiang covered his mouth and smiled.
Yue Yue was in arrears of monthly money, poorly fed, and poorly dressed, if it weren't for the deed of sale, these people would have run away long ago.
The eldest lady was busy looking at her personal maid kite, but the kite knelt down and kowtowed, turned around and left, without any nostalgia. Seeing this, the others also turned around and left.
The old lady looked at the lame one who walked at the end, and couldn't help nodding and said: "It's really time to change people, and in the future, our Hou Mansion will have Lingyun and these shops, and it will be time to support decency." ”
Liu Yunxiang sat down, "Let's eat it, everyone! Especially this black chicken ginseng soup, the ginseng used in our Lingyun medicinal herbs for hundreds of years, let's try it." ”
Hearing this, everyone picked up bowls and served the soup.
