According to the rules, the end of the month is to settle the bill. Yurong has four shops and two houses for rent and more than 2,000 acres of fertile land, so these days are particularly busy.

After settling the accounts, a smile appeared on Yurong's face: "I can have a good year this year." "This year's earnings are 20% more than last year's. The main reason is that this year's grain harvest is much higher than last year's, and grain prices are higher than last year's.

Hongyin lowered his voice and said, "Madam, I heard that my uncle's face has not been very good-looking in the past few days, is it not that the income of the house this year is not very good?"

Yurong snorted coldly, but didn't say anything: "Leave her alone." Before she turned her face with Lu Yao, the chicken, duck and fish sent by Yurong Zhuangzi were all eaten by everyone, and in addition, she often bought paper, pencils, rouge and other things for her nephews and nieces. But since Lu Yao calculated her, Yurong has become an iron rooster, and he will not pull out a hair.

Hongyin still had something to say, but was stopped by Honghua: "Madam, the clothes for Young Master Zheng are ready." Wait for the young master to come back and let him give it a try, if it doesn't fit well, it's easy to change it. "Safflower's needlework is very good, and the master and servant sit together to do needlework on weekdays.

Yurong smiled and nodded: "Okay." ”

In the evening, Israel returned, but his face was very ugly, so gloomy that he could drip water.

Yurong was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Zheng'er, what's wrong with you, is someone bullying you?"

Yizheng took off the stone blue satin gray squirrel skin cloak on his body, and said coldly: "Mother, don't worry, it's nothing." ”

Just looking at the face of Israeli, it is impossible to be fine. Yurong said anxiously: "You kid, do you want to worry about the dead mother, what happened?"

Seeing this, Yizheng had to speak: "Mother, it's really nothing, it's just that on the way back just now, I heard the two mothers-in-law say a few words that I didn't like, and I kicked them in anger." ”

With Yurong's understanding of his son, if it weren't too much, he wouldn't have made his son so angry. Yurong asked, "What did you say?"

Yizheng snorted coldly: "Mother, don't ask, it's not a good thing anyway." He couldn't say that kind of swearing.

Seeing this, Yurong had to put this matter down for the time being. But when she turned her head, she asked Yizheng's personal servant.

After listening to the little girl's words, Yurong's face turned the color of pig liver. said that she would endure it if she ate and lived in Hanfu for nothing, but she even said that she was not clear with Mr. Gao, and there was something more disgusting than this! No wonder the Israeli government would be so angry.

Yizheng came out with a change of clothes, and when he saw that Yurong's face was not good-looking, he immediately guessed that she already knew about it. Yizheng said: "Mother, I don't want to live here anymore. This will make them arrange you and Grandpa Gao at will, and I don't know what ridiculous gossip will come out in the future. ”

Yurong nodded and said, "Okay, we'll move out after the New Year." "There are still ten days to go before the New Year, and everyone doesn't look good when they move out at this time.

Yizheng nodded.

Yurong waited for Yizheng to return to his house, and then said to Honghua: "Go and see if my uncle is back?" If you are back, come and return to me." ”

After a while, Honghua turned back and said, "Madam, my uncle has just returned, and this will be on the way to the main courtyard." ”

Yurong put on a fox fur and went to the main courtyard. As soon as he saw Lu Yao, Yurong said coldly: "If I can't tolerate our mother, just say it, I'm not a dead skin, I don't have to leave my mother's house, why use such a method." ”

Han Jiancheng had a headache when he saw this, and asked, "It's the New Year, what's going on?" During this time, Yurong didn't say anything in front of Han Jiancheng, but Lu Yao blew a lot of pillow wind, saying that Yurong was getting more and more picky. The more I listened to it, the more I was affected.

Hearing this, Yu Rong's heart was cold: "When Yizheng came back, I heard two mothers-in-law say that I was not clear with Mr. Gao, and Yizheng was so angry that he would punish them. As a result, the two mothers-in-law said that Yizheng was just a cousin who lived in Hanfu to eat white food, and he was not their master, so he was not qualified to be punished. In a fit of anger, he kicked the two mothers-in-law a few times. "Because it's not very peaceful outside now, in addition to a small guy by his side, there are two personal entourage. Of course, this is an external statement, in fact, the two entourages are both Lian Jiazi and are the bodyguards of the government.

Speaking of this, Yurong's tears fell to the ground: "Mr. Gao is my father-in-law's staff, because he is worried about his father-in-law's kindness, he has always taught Yizheng. Not to mention that Mr. Gao's age is more than enough for my father, but I haven't seen Mr. Gao since I moved out of the Jiang family, and I don't know which black-hearted thing spread such rumors. ”

The appearance of such a wicked slave is the fault of the housewife. Han Jiancheng looked at Lu Yao with a somewhat ugly face and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yao felt a little angry in her heart, this black-hearted thing was not insinuating her! Lu Yao said with an innocent look on her face: "Master, I just heard that Mother Heng and the two of them were beaten by politics and vomited blood and fell into a coma, and I just wanted to ask what was going on, and the master came back." ”

Yurong sneered: "Yizheng is only eleven years old this year, and he vomited blood and fell into a coma after kicking a few feet, are they paper paste?"

Lu Yao was very annoyed, but she couldn't quarrel with Yurong in front of Han Jiancheng, otherwise it would be hers. Lu Yao said with a guilty face: "I know that my sister is angry, and it is my discipline that is not good. Sister, rest assured, I will severely punish these two broken-mouthed mothers-in-law. ”

Yurong sneered and said, "No need to make any more dramas, I have already asked the maids around me, and they said that this unbearable rumor has been spread in the house for a while." I'm just afraid that I'll be sad to hear it, so I don't dare to tell me. Brother and sister, I know you're impatient with us living in the house. Don't worry, I'll move out after the New Year, and it won't be in your way anymore. ”

Lu Yao's face was blue and white for a while.

Han Jiancheng frowned and said, "Sister, no one wants to drive you away, don't think about it." ”

Although Yurong has a fire in her belly, she doesn't want to make the relationship too stiff: "I am not clear with Mr. Gao about this rumor, and next time who knows what cat and dog I will have an affair with." Ah Cheng, the fragrance is far away and the smell is near, I don't want to make my sister and brother enemies in the future. So don't persuade you anymore, when the Lantern Festival is out, I'll move out with Yizheng. After saying that, Yurong walked out with the maid.

Han Jiancheng asked Lu Yao with a blushing face: "Tell me, what is going on?" If it was just a conflict between his sister-in-law, he would definitely be with the mud. But now it's about my sister's innocent reputation, so it's not a trivial problem.

Lu Yao said with red eyes: "Master, the concubine doesn't know what's going on." She knew that Yurong was eating and living in Hanfu for nothing, but she really didn't know about arranging Yurong and Mr. Gao. No matter how stupid she is, she can't let such a thing go.

The husband and wife quickly found out that the rumor that Yurong and Mr. Gao were unclear was Lu Yao's wife-in-law. And the mother-in-law was instructed by Mrs. Lu.

Knowing that it was Mrs. Lu who wanted to ruin Yurong's reputation, Han Jiancheng was so angry that his whole body trembled, and his eyes were wrong when he looked at Lu Yao: "In the future, no one from the Lu family will be allowed to come to the door, and you will not be allowed to take the children to the Lu family again." Otherwise, don't enter the door of the Han family again. He was afraid that the Lu family would take several children badly.

Lu Yao will be more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis.

That night, Han Jiancheng took Lu Yao to apologize to Yurong. Yurong accepted the couple's apology, but insisted on moving out. Yurong said: "Ah Cheng, I still say the same thing, far fragrant and smelly. When they are separated, there are not so many things. "Before she lived in Hanfu, she got along very well with Lu Yao.

Han Jiancheng saw that Yurong was determined to move out this time, and he felt guilty and sad in his heart.

Out of the Lantern Festival, Yurong moved out of the Han Mansion and moved into Mitsui Hutong. This house is only the first courtyard to live in, the back two courtyards are empty, it is specially reserved for Yurong, before the courtyard of the Han Mansion was narrow, so Yizheng and Yurong lived in the same courtyard. However, Yizheng is already eleven years old, and it is long overdue to have an independent courtyard. This time, he lived in the courtyard of the second entrance.

Han Jiancheng personally sent Yurong to Mitsui Hutong, and Mr. Gao brought his wife, son and daughter-in-law to greet him.

Mr. Gao received Han Jiancheng, and his wife and daughter-in-law welcomed Yurong to the backyard.

Looking at Mr. Gao, whose hair and beard were all white, Han Jiancheng was very ashamed when he thought about the infection in the house. Mrs. Lu is really blinded by lard, and it is really hateful that she can spread such vicious rumors when she can't plot Yurong's wealth. It was also because of this incident that Han Jiancheng completely disliked the Lu family.

Mr. Gao's daughter-in-law, Rong, handed over the account books in the mansion to Yurong that afternoon: "Mrs., this is the account of the mansion, please Mrs. "Mr. Gao was also free when he was in the Jiang family before, and he was not a subordinate who signed the deed. However, the Rong family has always been a husband and wife, and Mr. Gao said that he wanted to repay Jiang Wenrui's kindness and follow the Buddha's good government, and she didn't say anything.

Yurong politely took the account book. This is her home, so naturally she is in charge. However, for Mr. Gao's family, she will not treat him badly.

On the third day of moving into Mitsui Hutong, Yizheng said something to Yurong: "Mother, Mr. Gao asked me to tell you that the situation is getting worse and worse now, and it is best to sell the field shop and exchange it for gold and silver." ”

Yurong frowned and said, "You went and invited Mr. Gao over, and I will talk to him personally." The two shops in her hands are in good locations, and the fields are also high-quality and good fields, so she is really reluctant to sell them like this.

Soon, Mr. Gao followed Yizheng over.

Yurong asked, "Mr. Gao, you said that the situation is getting worse and worse?"

Mr. Gao said: "The south has all fallen into the hands of the Ming king, and he will lead troops into the capital in three years at most." Madam, you and Concubine Han are sisters of the same father, so it is not appropriate to stay in the capital for this alone. "Even if you stay in the capital, it is difficult for orphans and widows to keep such a large amount of money.

Yurong was silent and said: "The eldest uncle is now the political envoy of Fujian, no matter how Yizheng is his nephew, he will not ignore our mother and son." The subtext is that even if King Ming defeats the capital, she will be backed by Yizheng and Jiang Hongfu.

Mr. Gao explained: "Madam, every time there is a change of dynasty, the land will be returned to the government, and when the capital falls into the hands of the Ming King, all the fields on the outskirts of Beijing will also be returned to the government." "If these fields and properties do not belong to the King of Gongming, what will be used to reward the meritorious ministers, so the change of dynasty is also a redistribution of power and wealth.

After a pause, Mr. Gao said, "Madam, if you are reluctant, you can leave three or five hundred acres." "The more you stay, the more dangerous it is. In times of war, gold and silver are the most reliable.

In fact, Yurong was able to keep her dowry because she had a rightfully favored concubine sister. Otherwise, a widow has such a large sum of money in her hands, and others have already made a black hand, how can Yurong have such a comfortable life.

Yurong's face was a little ugly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "What about the house, will our house also be confiscated in the future?"

Mr. Gao shook his head and said: "The Northwest Army has strict discipline and will not seize the residences of ordinary people, but it is difficult to say that those two good shops are good." "Mr. Gao is clear about Yurong's dowry.

This is all money, and it is really reluctant to sell Yurong like this.

Mr. Gao also knows that it is difficult to make this decision: "If my wife is reluctant, she can sell half and keep half." ”

Yurong was very entangled in her heart, she was not only reluctant to sell these properties, but also worried that these properties would be confiscated after the change of dynasty. After half a ring, she asked her son, who was standing next to her, "Yizheng, what do you think should be done?"

Yizheng thought for a while and said: "Mother, it's safer to exchange them for gold and silver, and when the world settles down in the future, we will buy property again." ”

Yurong is also a very decisive person, after listening to Yi Yizheng's words, she decided to leave a Zhuangzi that occupies 800 acres of land, and the rest of the property is ready to be sold. The output of these 800 acres of land can be used by the people in the government, and there is no need to spend extra money to buy them.

Because grain has always been in short supply, and the price of grain is getting higher and higher every year, the market has done a good job of buying and selling fields. Therefore, as soon as Mr. Gao released the news that he was going to sell his land, someone came to ask for the price. In addition to the Zhuangzi that was kept for their own use, the other fields were sold before the New Year, but the two shops and the house were not easy to sell.

Yurong sold most of the land under his name, which was not a small matter, and Lu Yao soon knew.

That night, Lu Yao said to Han Jiancheng: "Sister, has she been coaxed? Such a good industry, there is a lot of interest every year, how can you say that you can sell it?"

Yurong's industry is very good every year, although it is not hers, but Lu Yao is a little distressed when she hears that it has been sold.

Han Jiancheng frowned and said, "I'll go to Mitsui Hutong tomorrow." Han Jiancheng didn't suspect Mr. Gao, he felt that this matter was a little abnormal, and he was uneasy.

For Han Jiancheng, Yurong did not hide it, and retold what Mr. Gao told her: "Ah Cheng, Mr. Gao has been by my father-in-law's side for so many years, and he knows more than me. Besides, it is really not safe for me to hold so many properties in my hands. "The gold and silver from the sale of the land have been hidden in a place that only she and Brother Zheng know.

Han Jiancheng often walks outside and knows more than Yurong. I bought a small house next to the Han Mansion to store food for the upcoming war.

After hearing these words, Han Jiancheng didn't say much: "If there is anything you ask someone to bring me a message." "Mitsui Hutong is actually not far from where Han Jiancheng lives, just a quarter of an hour away.

Yurong nodded.
