Old Mrs. Shi looked out the window and sighed suddenly, "You said that Yun Yatou has been living in Jia's house for more than ten days, why haven't you come back?" That Miss Lin is so good? She couldn't get enough of it! ”

Dong Solstice and Gu Yu looked at each other, and then smiled, Gu Yu was better, she was only promoted from the second-class maid after she was assigned to Shi Xiangyun in Lichun, so naturally she didn't have the confidence to do so.

Dong Zhi said with a smile: "When the big girl is here, the old lady always thinks that people talk a lot, and as soon as the big girl leaves, the old lady thinks about it." Don't worry, old lady, the carriage to pick up the eldest girl has already gone to Jia's house, and the eldest girl should come back at noon! ”

Mrs. Shi was unhappy, "How can I miss her, it's Lan Yatou and Xue Yatou who just talk about her all day long!" ”

Dong Solstice pursed her lips and smiled, deciding not to expose the duplicitous old lady.

Shi Xiangyun arrived at the door, and without waiting for Lichun to help her, she jumped out of the carriage by herself, and then ran to the house, which startled Lichun, who was following behind, "My little ancestor, you should be slow!" Beware of tripping! ”

Shi Xiangyun ran all the way to Chunhui Hall, shouting in his mouth, "Grandmother, grandmother, I'm back!" "To be honest, after being away from home for so long, she really misses the old lady a little. Although the old lady has such and such problems, favoritism towards the second uncle's family, and even suspicion of mistreating her parents, but now, she is also the only person who is really good to Shi Xiangyun. In the past few years of getting along, her love for Shi Xiangyun is also true. Shi Xiangyun is not a hard-hearted person, so he naturally misses her love.

Old Mrs. Shi blinked, a little suspicious of her ears, "Winter solstice, did I hear it wrong?" How did I hear the voice of the cloud girl? Didn't she say she didn't come back until noon? ”

"Grandmother, I'm back, do you miss me?" Shi Xiangyun's voice came all the way from the door, and there was no need to answer on the winter solstice, the old lady also knew that this was not an auditory hallucination, it was Yun Yatou who really came back!

Shi Xiangyun rushed into Mrs. Shi's arms like a small cannonball, and Mrs. Shi was hit squarely, but fortunately, Shi Xiangyun reined in her strength and didn't make the old lady feel pain.

Mrs. Shi felt that her eyes were sour, it must be that Fang Cai's tea was too hot, and her eyes hurt from the smoke, so she didn't admit that she was thinking about this crazy girl!

"Hey, hey, grandmother, do you miss me? I miss my grandmother! Shi Xiangyun hugged Mrs. Shi's waist and entangled her crookedly.

"You stinky girl with no conscience! Then the Jia family is so good that you don't even go home? Old Mrs. Shi hammered Shi Xiangyun a few times and said angrily.

Shi Xiangyun smiled and didn't dodge, anyway, the old lady was reluctant to fight, and the strength might as well be to play the ashes for her!

Mama Wei came in with Lichun Xiaohan, kowtowed to the old lady, and then packed up her things, Shi Xiangyun crooked in the old lady's arms, and told Lin Daiyu about giving her a silver ticket, and the old lady Shi nodded, "It's a sensible and kind person, not like her mother!" ”

Shi Xiangyun seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Jia Min when he heard the old lady's words, and asked in surprise: "Does the old lady not like Aunt Lin?" ”

The old lady snorted and laughed, "If it weren't for Aunt Lin, your Sister Lin would have several brothers now!" From this point of view, she and her mother are really in the same vein! In addition to Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, and Jia Min in the Jia family's generation, there are a few daughters from the concubine, but there are no sons from the concubine! You say that there is no Shi Wan's means in this, who believes it! So is the Lin family! Although the Lin family has always had thin heirs, there are always children to inherit, and it is good to have only one daughter in this generation. Although he had a son born to a concubine before, he was not even three years old and was gone! Do you really think Jia Min's hands are clean? ”

Shi Xiangyun thought about it, if the concubine is alive, Lin Daiyu, as the concubine, can get a limited amount of family property, but if the concubine dies, Lin Daiyu, as the only heir of the Lin family, will get a lot of family property! Shi Xiangyun suddenly thought of this possibility again, could there be a means of Jia Mu in this! After all, the Jia family is now an empty shell, how can it be like the Lin family is a hundred treasure mountains, if the Lin family has no heirs, only Lin Daiyu, then the Lin family's family business will all become Lin Daiyu's dowry, isn't it still in the Jia family's pocket!

It's just that Shi Xiangyun suddenly thought of his own situation, and there is no difference from the Jia family, the only difference is that the Shi family doesn't even have a daughter, only three sons-in-law, will there be the credit of his own grandmother in this!

Shi Xiangyun looked at the old lady and smiled, the old lady saw her thoughts, and gently tapped on her head, "Our family is different!" Your grandfather was born in the military, and he fought outside all the year round, so he didn't have to be Rong Guogong, and he was injured and idle at home. That's why there are only three people in the Shi family: your father and uncle. ”

Shi Xiangyun covered the place where he was beaten and smiled, "Grandmother is really wise, I didn't say that you knew what I was thinking, it's amazing!" ”

Old Lady Shi glanced at her lightly, "You were raised by me, I still don't know about you!" ”

Shi Xiangyun had an innocent smile on his face, but he was muttering in his heart, you, you really don't know me.

"Since you like that Sister Lin, she is a good person, and it doesn't hurt to have more contact in the future. It's just that Baoyu, it's better for you to be less troublesome. Mrs. Shi said lightly, "Don't worry, since your father entrusted you to me, grandmother will definitely arrange a good arrangement for you." In this way, it can be regarded as worthy of the love of our mother and son! The old lady's last words were so soft and soft that they could hardly be heard. But Shi Xiangyun still heard it.

She lay in the old lady's arms, did not speak, but felt sad for her parents in her heart! If you arrange me, will you be worthy of your mother-son relationship? What about my father's grievances? That's it? She is not a serious ancient, and the sense of family in her bones is very weak. So although she understood Mrs. Shi's approach, she never agreed.

But at the moment, she has no ability to protect herself, and if she wants to live, she must rely on the protection of the old lady.

That night, the two brothers gathered in the old lady's house, and everyone ate with Lele. After the meal, the maid brought tea, Mrs. Shi sat crookedly on the couch, Shi Ziren sat beside her, and Shi Xiangyun took her two younger sisters to sit in the chaise longue, holding a copy of "Historical Records" and reading it carefully to her sisters.

Mr. and Mrs. Shi Nai and Mr. and Mrs. Shi sat below, holding tea and coaxing the old lady.

Mrs. Shi only felt very relieved. She glanced at the children who were playing, and suddenly said, "Second brother, do you remember that your father owed the household 800,000 taels of silver when he was alive?" ”

Shi Nai suddenly felt a chill in his heart, of course he remembered, his father was holding the eldest brother's hand before he died, and asked the eldest brother to remember to return the money from the household, and he and the third brother were next to him at that time. It's just, Mother, what does it mean to mention this at this time?

"What do you mean, old lady?" Shi Yan was straightforward and asked immediately.

Mrs. Shi smiled faintly, "Since your father has instructions before he dies, we should follow them, originally your eldest brother has already discussed with me, he will pay half of the 800,000 taels, and you will pay the rest." It's just that now that your eldest brother is gone, then this money should be paid by the two of you. ”

Shi Wang's family covered his mouth in surprise, 800,000 taels, even if two are evenly divided, one person will need 400,000 taels, where did he get so much money now! The original savings were spent for the title of husband, and now there are less than 100,000 taels of silver in the public account, even if you add your own dowry, it is not enough!

Shi Nai's brows were also tightened, "Old lady, we are not the only one who owes the household money, why does the Shi family want to come forward first?" The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. ”

Old Lady Shi glanced at him, "I have my own intentions." Now I look at our historian's family and the two marquis, and they are extremely prominent, but I feel quite a feeling of being overwhelmed by the cold. The four kings and eight princes are all going downhill, and our family is a double marquis! Or, do you think we don't know about those things in our family today? ”

Shi Nai's face was like ashes all of a sudden! The death of his eldest brother is still a thorn in his heart! Although he doesn't regret doing it, even if he does it again, he will still choose to do it! is also a son-in-law, literary and martial, and he does not lose to the eldest brother at all, why can the eldest brother inherit the title because of the identity of the eldest son, but he can't! It's just that in the end, he is not in the right position, so he is a little weak-hearted, and he is just trying to be more justifiable.

"Your eldest brother is not here now, so I'll come out of his share! Although my original dowry was not very rich, but over the years, your father has also bought me a lot of family property. You are still, a family of 200,000 taels, the ideas are gathered, and then quietly sent to the household department. Remember, don't say anything! Mrs. Shi looked at the two daughters-in-law with a displeased face, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, these two daughters-in-law are good at everything, but they are a little childish." I know that if you hand over this money, the two of you will definitely have some difficulty, but in fact, there is nothing wrong with this, how big your head is, how big your hat is! Our historians were originally born in a martial arts family, and we can't learn the red tape of those literati, and we can't open source, so it's good to save a little money. ”

Seeing that the faces of the two sons and daughters-in-law were still a little hesitant, the old lady finally said, "Maybe this silver is handed over, and the Shijia family may be able to come true!" ”

Shi Nai's and Shi Nai's eyes widened suddenly, they were still very convinced by the old lady's words, so many years of facts have proved that the old lady's eyesight is not fake, how many times the turmoil is because of the old lady's wisdom like a torch, the Shi family has passed smoothly, which makes the Shi family not continue to decline like other families after his father's death.

"Yes, the old lady's words, the son remembered. Let's go back and prepare! Ignoring his wife's face, the two brothers stood up and assured.

"Yes! Go down! When you have all the money, tell me again! I'm pretty much ready here. The old lady said lightly, in fact, since the old man died, she has been secretly selling her dowry and converting it into cash, just waiting for today.

Shi Nai and Shi Nai's brothers were shocked, it turned out that the old lady had started to prepare so early. After going back, he did the same, and began to sell his acres and shops, and scraped together money to pay off his debts.
