When Qin E and Qin Yan returned to Qin's house, only Qiu Ju was waiting at the gate. Qin E was already surprised by this kind of treatment, but Qin Yan was very unhappy.

"I thought that my aunt and grandmother would be better to us, but it turned out that there was no difference from the He family. ”

Qin E frowned and said, "Don't talk like that. ”

As he was talking, the thrush ran over sweating profusely, and when he saw the two of them, he saluted and said, "Welcome home the eldest and second misses." My aunt and grandmother specially asked the slave maid to welcome the two young ladies back to the house, but when they came out, they were stumped by things and came late. ”

Qin E smiled: "It's just going home, it's not a big deal, there is Aunt Lao and Grandmother who are worried about us, so Sister Thrush has worked hard." ”

Seeing this, the thrush showed a smile of relief, and sent Qin E and the others back to Lanwan Yuan all the way, and then went back, "Grandma still has something to do there, and the slave will go back first." ”

Qin E asked Dongmei to send her, "Wait to clean up, let's go and say hello to my aunt and grandmother." ”

Thrush hesitated and said, "The eldest lady and the second lady might as well take a good rest and not rush over." ”

Qin E nodded, and when the thrush left, she called Cui'er, "Is there something going on in the house?"

Cui'er shook her head, "I haven't heard anything wrong." ”

Qin E thought for a while, "You go out for a walk." ”

Cui'er understood and immediately went out to find out the news.

The second grandmother has been waiting in the yard, and when she saw the two wiping her tears, "It's the first time I've been separated from the two young ladies for so long, and I really haven't had a day in my heart." If it weren't for the purpose of cleaning up his wife's relics, the old slave would have gone to the Li Mansion long ago. ”

Qin E asked, "How is it, have you counted everything?"

The second grandmother cheered up and invited Qin E into the house. Qin Yan was leaving, but Qin E stopped her, "Mother's matter, you also sit down and listen." Now that you have grown up, it is time for you to learn to be a housekeeper and have your own opinions. ”

Qin Yan stayed and sat next to her sister. The second lady smiled: "In a blink of an eye, the second lady is also a big girl, and the eldest lady is right, she is going to start learning to be a housekeeper." ”

Qin Yan blushed and muttered, "Second Grandma, if you make fun of me again, I won't stay here!"

The second grandmother was no longer funny, and said with a straight look: "Madame's things have all been counted, the things in Furong Hall, the big ones are still in the house, and the small things are all in the warehouse, a total of fifteen boxes." There were ten boxes of utensils and five boxes of clothing. ”

"How much less?"

"More than half of them are gone, and all that is lost is valuable, and there is not a single piece of Madame's jewelry left. ”

Qin E nodded and didn't ask any more questions, when they left, the old lady led someone to copy the Furong Hall, and a lot of things were lost at that time, and what was left was unmovable and worthless.

"These are all things that we had to clean up in the Furong Hall in the future when we left. Most of the things are placed in the private vault, and the things are relatively trivial, the old slave and Qiu Ju have counted them all, re-entered the book, and will take them to you for a closer look. ”

"This time we mainly sorted out the lady's dowry, which consisted of one hundred and twenty boxes, thirty boxes of jewelry, twenty-five boxes of gold, silver and jade, twenty boxes of silk and satin, fifteen boxes of furs, twenty boxes of porcelain, and nine boxes of odds and ends, such as bed nets and window screens. ”

Qin Yan listened to it on the sidelines, "So many!"

The second grandmother showed a smug and proud smile on her face, "If it weren't for the fear that the dowry would be too much, which would attract covetous criticism, Madame's dowry would not be more than one hundred and twelve." Our one hundred and twenty units are different from ordinary people's houses, and they were found by several uncles who spent a lot of time looking for them everywhere. There are a lot of rare treasures collected by the little uncle from Fanwai and brought back across the mountains and rivers. The two strong men in each cage were struggling to lift, and one box contained too much, and the flat shoulders of the boxes were crushed. ”

This is the second time Qin E has heard the second grandmother boast about the wealth of the Shen family.

"You said a total of one hundred and nineteen cages, and the one that was missing was the one that He stole from?"

"The one that He stole was counted, and the one that was less was not in the private treasury, but was stored in the big cabinet of Hui'an Silver Village. ”

Qin E was stunned, "What do you want to put there?"

"It's all kinds of deeds and silver tickets!" the second mother said: "The fields and shops in Madame's hands, the harvest on the Zhuangzi and the silver for the dowry are all in it, a whole box!"

"How much is it worth?"

The second grandmother looked back at the door and said cautiously: "The specific old slave is not clear, the eldest lady only needs to know that the things in there are more valuable than the one hundred and nineteen cages." ”

Don't talk about Qin Yan now, even Qin E was speechless in surprise.

Mother is also too rich.

Or that the Shen family is too rich!

"I have always wondered why the old lady did not take it for herself, but became poor like this. In the end, for a few thousand taels of silver, he did not hesitate to take risks to steal. I didn't hear that my father used it, but it turned out that my mother kept everything in Hui'an Silver Village. ”

"After the accident of the Shen family, the relationship between the lord and the wife was very bad. The old lady and the He family squeezed the lady from time to time to beat the autumn breeze of the lady. Madame was very thoughtful and found an opportunity to store them in the silver village, in case she had an accident and the things were seized by them. The old slave felt that Mrs. was a little too nervous back then, but he didn't expect that it would not take long for the sky to really change. ”

The second grandmother wiped her tears and said hatefully: "The old lady copied the yard, but didn't copy out the things, and forced the lady to hand it over." Madame refused, so the old lady forced Madame to Liaodong Mansion, wanting to torture Madame and make Madame soften. But she looked down on Madame too much, how could Madame be stupid to hand them over in order to return to the Qin family. ”

Qin E woke up like a dream, "It turns out that the old lady didn't kill her mother back then, but sent her to Liaodong Mansion, is this because of this?"

"In order to hit Madame, the old lady deliberately drove you away too, leaving the little young master in her hands. Mrs. felt sorry for the two young ladies who followed her to suffer in the old mansion in Liaodong, and she was worried about the little young master, and she dragged down her spirit back and forth. ”

"Madame made a high contract with Hui'an Yinzhuang back then, if she dies, you can go to Yinzhuang to pick up the box after the marriage. Mrs. paid half of the commission before her death, and then paid the other half after you opened the box. Other than that, no one is allowed to touch the box. In this way, the old lady and the old man know it, and they can't take it out. ”

Qin E lowered her head with a heavy heart, loving and respecting her mother. Everything my mother did was for their future, and although the jewelry was valuable, it was all dead, and it was not only difficult to preserve, but also easier to covet. But these land property deeds are different, staying is the best capital, you can live for a lifetime, two or two, give birth to three, hide people's eyes and ears, and the wealth is continuous, which is a real good thing.

Qin E said to Qin Yan: "This is what our mother left us, and it is my mother's love for us." You have to keep it in mind, and you must not show half a sentence to others, wasting your mother's hard work for us. ”

Qin Yan nodded with teary eyes, "I know the severity, and I will never talk nonsense to others." ”

The second grandmother said: "For now, you can take out the things after the eldest lady and the second lady, and then you and the second lady will not have to be so poor." ”

Qin E wanted to tell her that we are not poor now, but the door was gently knocked three times, and it was Cui'er who came back from outside to inquire about the news.

Cui'er's face was not very good, "Miss, the Lou family in Aunt Fang's courtyard has a miscarriage!"
