Chapter 2
With this in mind, the brothers pry open the door of the warehouse, but to their surprise, the originally full warehouse is empty at this time! The two brothers looked at each other, "Second brother, what's going on?" ”
Shi Mo didn't mean to doubt the second brother, these days, the two of them have been together, it is impossible to be alone! "Who else has been here besides me and my second brother?"
Shi Ping, the housekeeper behind him, was also surprised, "The slave has been sending people to watch!" Nobody is coming! Suddenly remembered, "By the way, the night the eldest lady left, it seemed that she had come with the eldest girl, and the servants had been watching behind her, and the eldest lady was holding the eldest girl, followed by Mama Wei, and checked several warehouses one by one." Other than that, no one else came! But it's not right, the minions are really watching, they just watch, and they don't take anything away! Besides, the two of them, women and children, don't have this ability! ”
Shi Nai and Shi Nai glanced at each other, "Let's go, let's go to another storeroom!" "I opened several warehouses in a row, and they were all empty. Shi Nai's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word.
Only Shi Ping was frightened, "Could it be that the uncle's soul has appeared?" Before he finished speaking, he was kicked in the chest by Shi Nai, "What nonsense!" ”
Shi Yan looked around fiercely, "Don't say a word about today's events!" Whoever dares to reveal half a word, I will destroy him! ”
Shi Ping and others only responded.
Shi Nai and Shi Nai ordered someone to lock the warehouse and went straight to the courtyard of the old lady of the Shi family. In the room of the old lady of the Shi family, Shi Nai's wife Shi Wang and Shi Xue's wife Shi Xue were laughing with the old lady, and the old lady was holding Shi Nai's eldest son, Shi Ziren, who was three years old, in her arms.
Shi Xue was about to give birth, and he was also sitting there with a big belly at this time. The reason why they didn't go back to rest so late was because they wanted to wait for the result. Shi Wang looked at his eldest son lovingly, and at the same time lowered his head and touched his belly, she was also nearly five months pregnant. Whether it's a man or a woman, it's their own child. You should also think about their future.
Although I'm sorry for Xiangyun like this, but she is just a girl, how can she afford such a big family business alone, it is better to leave it to these uncles and aunts, left and right, they will not treat her badly.
Shi Xue has the same attitude. Although the Shi family sounds very glorious, but how much did the Shi family pay in exchange for this ending, thinking of the silver spent like flowing water in the middle, Shi Xue's heart was distressed! Like her second sister-in-law, she was just a side branch of the Wang family and the Xue family, and she chose them because there were no girls of the right age in the branch. Therefore, they did not have a strong maiden family to rely on, and the dowry was not very rich, and now they had almost spent all of their family fortune for the title. In the future, if life is good or bad, I can only count on the family business left by my eldest brother.
So when they heard the maid's voice saying that the two brothers were back, they all stood up in surprise, why was it so fast? Did something happen?
The two brothers, Shi Nai and Shi Yuan, walked in one after the other, "Old lady! ”
The old lady looked at the faces of her two sons and paused, and then ordered the nurse to take Shi Ziren down, "Ren'er, let's go down and rest with the nurse first!" Grandmother and your father uncle have something to say. ”
Although Shi Ziren was young, he knew the etiquette very well, and he was not noisy when he heard the words, and after saluting his grandmother and father, mother, uncles and aunts, he followed the nurse down.
Although Shi Nai was in a very uneasy mood, he was still quite relieved to see his eldest son so sensible and polite, and his wife educated the child very well.
After Shi Ziren left, Shi Wang first asked anxiously, "Master Hou, what's wrong?" Why did you come back so soon? But that door won't open? ”
Shi Nai and Shi Mo sat down separately, Shi Nai's face was calm and did not speak, Shi Nai said angrily: "Hmph! Lock = The door was opened, but the storeroom was empty, and everything was gone! ”
"What!" Shi Wang and Shi Xue were shocked and exclaimed at the same time.
The old lady glared at them and shouted dissatisfiedly, "What are you yelling about!" There are *copies! Shi Wang and Shi Xue lowered their heads at the same time, but after a while, they raised their heads without doing anything, what a lot of wealth that is, even if the two families are divided equally, there is no need to worry about it in twenty years, why is it gone!
Shi Nai explained: "Shi Ping personally led people to keep an eye on it, from the eldest brother's coffin to just now, during which only the sister-in-law carried Xiangyun in once. But there are only three of them in total, and it can't be them! They don't have the ability to do that, either! "The Zhang family doesn't have this ability, otherwise, the Zhang family wouldn't even be able to save the life of the sister-in-law!
The old lady frowned, "That's it, don't mention this matter from now on." "No matter how those things are gone, historians can't carry out an investigation with great fanfare, otherwise, many things will not be covered!
Shi Xue couldn't hold his breath, "How can you not mention it!" That's it."
"Shut up!" Shi Mo glared at Shi Xue fiercely.
Shi Xue lowered his head in a daze!
Shi Nai glanced at Shi Xue's and said lightly: "Although without these things, everyone may be more difficult for a while, but my third brother and I are now Hou Ye, and no matter how difficult our days are, we can't get any harder." ”
"Second brother is right!" Shi Yan didn't want to touch the eldest brother's things, and originally put all the blame on the dead eldest brother, and used the death of the eldest brother to pave the way for the Shi family to be a double marquis, so he had a guilty conscience! But Shi Xue had a big belly all day long, blowing pillow wind in his ears, and the old lady and the second brother agreed, so he also acquiesced. That's fine now! "Maybe the eldest brother has a spirit in the sky!"
"That's it! Don't say it again! The old lady glanced around at her son and daughter-in-law dissatisfied, "This matter will be rotten in my stomach, if I let me know who leaked a trace of rumors, I will open an ancestral hall and expel him from the Shi family!" ”
"Yes!" The two brothers stood up and answered in unison. Shi Wang and Shi Xue glanced at each other, unable to hide the disappointment in their hearts, but they didn't dare to challenge the authority of the old lady, so they lowered their heads and stopped talking.
After coming out of the old lady's courtyard, Shi Mo and Shi Xue returned to the Zhongjing Mansion, which was only separated by a wall. Shi Nai's had to deal with the affairs of the warehouse, so Shi Wang went back to the room alone with the maid's hand.
Shi Wang first went to Shi Ziren's room, carefully looked at his son's condition, and saw that the nurse took good care of him, nodded with satisfaction, and then went back to his room.
Shi Wang's tired leaning on the chair, the maid behind her skillfully helped her unload the jewelry on her head, combed her hair, Shi Wang's nurse Yang personally brought a bowl of bird's nest soup in, "Mrs., rest after drinking bird's nest soup!" These days, tired of you. ”
These days, Shi Wang's is really hard, two funerals in a row, and he has to prepare for the attack on the lord, he is still pregnant at this time, Shi Wang's touched his belly, and said with emotion: "This child is also a big life, and there is nothing to do!" ”
Mama Yang said with a smile: "That's for sure, if you don't have this blessing, you won't be reincarnated in your wife's belly!" ”
Shi Wangshi drank the bird's nest soup one by one, "That's it, this bird's nest soup, let's put it away in the future!" ”
Mama Yang said distressedly: "This is given by the old lady, saying that the wife has worked hard these days, and she will make up for the wife." Drink it with confidence, wife! Now that you are the rightful hostess of this Bowling Mansion, what's wrong with drinking some bird's nest? ”
Shi Wang shook his head, put the finished blue and white bowl back on the table, and didn't say anything to Mama Yang. After washing, I lay on the bed, touching my stomach and pondering. Yes, it's true that she is now the rightful Mrs. Baolinghou, but how can she be the same as her sister-in-law! The sister-in-law's mother's family, the Zhang family, is a Jiangnan family, which has lasted for hundreds of years, if it weren't for the fact that it was involved in the turmoil of seizing the heir, the resignation of the Zhang family's generation, the resignation of the post, and the seizure of the post, the whole clan avoided living in Jiangnan, otherwise, they would not sit idly by and watch the sister-in-law die like this.
But how can I compare with my sister-in-law? When the sister-in-law got married, according to the customs of Jiangnan, ten miles of red makeup, the day of the makeup, how many people's eyes were sparked, and the eldest brother was a righteous Baoling Hou Shizi at that time, talented and beautiful, what a matching pair! Therefore, the sister-in-law's bird's nest ginseng is constantly going on day by day. But what about yourself? He is just a partial branch of the Wang family, and his parents also gave a decent dowry when he got married, although he has made a lot of money in the past few years by relying on the Bowling Mansion, but where is it enough to spend! The son wants to marry a daughter-in-law, the daughter wants a dowry, and the family has personal contacts, where is there no need for money!
Hou Ye is a competitive person, helpless, in order to smooth out this matter, in order to shun the lord, most of Hou Ye's property and private house have been invested in it over the years. I thought that if I shared the things left by my eldest brother, I would be able to support it for a few years, but who would have thought! Alas! Who is it? can have such a great ability, under the noses of so many people, the entire warehouse is emptied unconsciously.
Unless, as the third brother said, is the eldest brother aware of the spring and has appeared?
Shi Wangshi thought of this possibility, and he was startled.
"What do you think? You didn't even notice it when I came? Shi Nai's voice suddenly sounded. Shi Wang sat up, "Master Hou is back?" ”
Shi Nai waved his hand, signaling that she didn't have to get up, he came in after washing, took off his coat, shoes and socks directly, and went to bed, "What are you thinking?" ”
Shi Wang and Shi Nai's husband and wife have a very strong relationship, so they don't hide it from him, "I'm thinking about the eldest brother's things, you say, what's going on?" ”
Shi Nai's face was pale, and he frowned instinctively, "Don't mention this matter again, in the future, there will be no such thing!" ”
Shi Wang's family was a little disappointed, but he also knew that his husband's mind was just involving the eldest brother, and there was a ghost in his heart. Therefore, he didn't dare to say any more, so he just lay down meekly.
The husband and wife rested and did not say anything all night.
