Chapter VI: Confrontation

On the second day, Cen Erye still went to the study to study, and Lin sent his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law away, and went to Cen Erniang's plum garden by himself, and had breakfast with his daughter and Xiao'er.

Subsequently, the Lin family packed up the package with his daughter, Yumo, Shuying and Ling Feng, and shipped some valuable small items, jewelry, gold and silver out of Xifu in batches, and sent them to pawnshops, jewelry shops and money houses to exchange for silver tickets, and deposited them in the name of Cen Erniang and Cen Erye respectively in the largest money village in the Dajing Dynasty - Xiangfu Ji. Externally, he said that it was the silver for Cen Erye to prepare for the Beijing exam, and to prepare a dowry for Cen Erniang.

There is also a house in the east city of Hong'an Mansion under the name of the second room, there are two shops on Hongyuan Street, and there are two manors in the western suburbs outside the city, one large and one small.

Because it is not easy to get rid of real estate and manors, it is impossible to find a buyer for a while, and it cannot be sold at a good price. And the Cen family is a first-class family with a head and face in Hong'an Mansion, if the Cen family sells their real estate, it will spread throughout Hong'an Mansion in a blink of an eye. Moreover, in order to prevent the children of the Cen family from losing their families, the ancestors of the Cen family established family rules that clearly stipulate that the real estate under the name of the Cen family, regardless of the descendants and side branches, shall not be sold or transferred.

If it is necessary to sell or give it away, it must be agreed by the patriarch and three or more clan elders. It can be seen from this that the Cen family has strict restrictions on their children.

Therefore, Cen Erniang and the Lin family kept the deeds of those manor shops.

After such a busy day, even if he couldn't sell his house, shop and manor, the second room had deposited a total of 23,650 taels of silver in Xiangfu Ji.

Now that the weather is smooth, twenty taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family of three to spend a whole year. With this silver, if nothing else, it is enough for the Cen family to have two bedrooms and five families, and they can spend a few lifetimes comfortably in Anping Town.

After doing this qiē, Cen Erye, Lin and Cen Erniang have settled down a lot in their hearts.

As for Cen Dalang and Cen Sanlang, they are still learning boxing from Master Wu in Wutong Academy. Of course, the big one mostly learns to only fool the layman's flower boxing and embroidered legs, and the small one purely learns soft and fluttering ornamental boxing.

However, the two brothers practiced boxing happily, and they didn't know anything about the upcoming wind and rain in the second room.

Early the next morning, Cen Erniang went to the main house of the main courtyard to meet her parents and had a meal with Cen Erye and the Lin family.

After breakfast, Cen Erye first ordered Xiao Bai Shu to go to the school to wait, waiting for noon to check the results of his year-end exam, and then, he led Cen Erniang to Mo Changxuan's study to discuss matters.

Lin began to pack up the softness, mainly packing some commonly worn clothes and shoes for later use.

In the study with the door closed, there were only Cen Erye and Cen Erniang's father and daughter. Second Master Cen walked to the bookcase standing against the wall, opened the secret compartment, and took out two confessions, as well as a letter of identification signed and printed by Dr. Qin. This identification letter was written yesterday at two o'clock, the sky was already dark, Cen Erye personally went to Dr. Qin's mansion, asked him to dictate, and Cen Erye wrote it himself.

Doctor Qin accepted Gao's silver and prescribed some medicine for Lin's family, saying that this violated the morality of a doctor; What's more, it is harming people's lives, and spreading the word is enough to ruin his reputation.

Second Master Cen used this as a threat, but he just asked Doctor Qin to issue a letter of identification to testify against Gao. Naturally, Dr. Qin would not refuse.

"This is the evidence that can make your grandmother and eldest aunt pay for the silver...... "Second Master Cen carefully handed over the three pieces of paper that were as heavy as a weight to Cen Erniang, "The matter in the backyard is not good for my father." I will leave it up to you to seek justice for your mother and our second room. Qingzhi, don't disappoint me. ”

"Father can rest assured." Second Master Cen folded the pieces of paper, stuffed them into the Tianxiang-colored purse on his waist, and gently dusted off the gray on the skirt that was as bright as water, and almost said impatiently: "My daughter will not fail in her mission." ”

After that, she walked out of the study with her head held high, and ordered Yumo, who was guarding the door, to go to Wutong Courtyard and call a few stout and burly martial arts masters who accompanied Cen Dalang to go to Gao's Tinglan Courtyard later to be powerful for her. She herself led Shuying straight to Tinglan Courtyard.

At this time, it was the time for her eldest aunt Feng, who had already sat firmly in the womb, to go to Tinglan Courtyard to ask for peace.

When Cen Erniang and Shuying arrived at Tinglan Courtyard, Gao was talking to Feng about the unborn golden male fetus in her womb, and both of them were very interested. The scene of Yan Yan with a smile and a smile on his face made Cen Erniang feel stunned.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting energetically, and they didn't notice Cen Erniang's arrival, and although the maid and mother-in-law who were waiting in the house saw Cen Erniang and Shuying standing at the door, they didn't mean to greet each other, and they invariably ignored Cen Erniang's master and servant.

"Huh!" Cen Erniang laughed loudly, causing everyone in the room to turn their heads to look at her, and then led Shuying proudly, stepped on the sound of heavy footsteps, and approached Feng and Gao, whose faces collapsed instantly.

Cen Erniang stopped five steps away from the Gao family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were sitting next to each other, and bowed to the Gao family gracefully, "Qingzhi meets grandmother and aunt." ”

After that, she didn't care what Gao and Feng thought of it, she stood up by herself, asked Shuying to move a chair for her, and sat opposite Gao and Feng.

After sitting down, Cen Erniang took the tea handed to her by Shuying under the stiff black faces of Gao and Feng, and took a sip of it, and said with a smile: "Grandmother and aunt, but are you talking about my little brother who has not yet been born?" You two are also really, why didn't you announce such good news earlier? So that we can also rejoice and rejoice, Saburo has long wanted a little brother. ”

Feng's face suddenly stiffened even more, as if he was frozen.

Gao Shi frowned, quickly glanced at the few maids standing beside him, and then smiled casually and said to Cen Erniang: "I don't know where you got the news from Erniang?" We didn't want to hide it from you, but the month is not enough, and it is not easy to announce it to the public, for fear of losing the blessing of the child. ”

"Hehe......" Cen Erniang heard this, she had no intention of playing with these two poisonous women, twisted up her handkerchief, dipped her lips moistened by tea, and smiled without smiling, "Break the child's blessing?" This is also true, grandmother, you and your eldest aunt secretly bought off Yang Er and his wife and Dr. Qin, and almost killed my mother. Such despicable and vicious is not intended to undermine the blessing of the child. ”

When Cen Erniang saw the Gao family, the Feng family, and the servants around them, they were all so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and they lost their words for a while. She was quite happy in her heart, and continued to speak amazingly, "Grandmother, eldest aunt, I heard that you two asked Yang Er's sister-in-law to ask my mother about the title deed of the big manor in the western suburbs of Fucheng. ”

The corners of her mouth hooked up with a sneer, "What, are you two very short of money lately?" Also, in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, being arrogant and lascivious, the eldest uncle only knows how to make plays, raise an outer room, give birth to a daughter, and almost lose the family of the big house. Now there are eleven or twelve girls in the big house, right? ”

"No wonder you covet our second-room grange, auntie." Cen Ernian said heartily to Feng Shi, who was blushing and panting: "So many daughters want to marry, how much dowry do you need!" Rao is aunt, no matter how rich your dowry is, you can't afford such a toss. ”

"You...... You! For the first time, Feng's face was exposed by the juniors, and he was angry, only to feel that his face was completely lost, and he pointed at Cen Erniang with a trembling finger and was speechless.

Gao was also suddenly stunned and angry by Cen Erniang, who was "possessed by harsh ghosts and gods", but after all, she was a person who had experienced strong winds and waves, so she quickly calmed down and said coldly: "Erniang! Look what you're talking about?! But there is still a little bit of nobility and elegance of a scholarly lady?! ”

"Grandmother is angry." Cen Erniang pretended to make amends, "My granddaughter just learned that someone was trying to kill my mother and destroy our second room, and she was angry in her heart, and her words were inevitably straightforward and harsh, I hope you Haihan." ”

"But ......" Cen Erniang began to divert the artillery fire, "Grandmother, you are a lot old, and you are not short of money in your hands, why do you have to calculate our Zhuangzi together with your aunt?" With your private property, it is not a problem to feed the little brother in the womb of the eldest aunt. ”

"Are you afraid that after the death of your immortal, your eldest uncle will lose all the family wealth that belongs to your little brother, so you have to take precautions and prepare private money for your little brother as soon as possible that the eldest uncle doesn't know?"
