When the Zhou family was ecstatic to discuss how to refine the gold mine and divide the gold, An Sanniang took advantage of no one to pay attention to her, and sneaked out of Jishan Village overnight, returned to Anping Town to settle down, and told Master An and Second Master An about the gold mine.

and knelt down to confess to the second master An, saying that she was wrong in the past, and she should not alienate her parents and relatives because of Zhou Yuanda, an outsider. She begged Second Master An to forgive her, recognize her daughter, and help her break the marriage contract with Zhou Yuanda.

She couldn't stay in the Zhou family for a moment. That family is worse than a beast! She has been married to the Zhou family for many years, and she has been brazenly using the money she brought from the An family, and she is embarrassed to smear and bully her in turn!

As for Zhou Yuanda, a ruthless and unrighteous person, she has no good feelings at all, and she only wants to have no contact with him for old age. How much she loved him before, how much she hates now. It's just that Zhou Yuanda is the man she loved after all, even if she hates him again, she doesn't want anything to happen to him.

Therefore, An Sanniang stopped An Er, who was going to take someone to kill Zhou Yuanda, Zhou Dafu, Wei and others, after all, she and Zhou Yuanda were husband and wife, let's get together and disperse. Besides, she didn't want her father to have his hands stained with blood because of her.

No matter how unbearable the Zhou family is, they are also relatives of Wei Zhi County, if their father leads someone to destroy them, they will not only offend Wei Zhi County, but also violate the law, and they will definitely pay for themselves at that time. No matter how powerful the An family is, it is also a civilian, how can it fight with the officials?

What's more, their home is expensive, and there is no need to use their jade-like home to collide with the Zhou family's pile of cheap stubborn stones, which is not worth it.

……

About a year ago, An Sanniang was kidnapped by Gong Shao, and An Sanshao and An Ze rescued her from Hengtian Peak. At that time, Zhou Yuanda was beaten up by An Sanshao and An Ze because he only cared about himself and escaped and did not save her.

Since then, Zhou Yuanda has felt guilty about her in his heart, feeling that it was her moldy star who dragged him down, so he asked him to go into the mountains to find a treasure, and he would also meet the killer Gong Shao, and he almost lost his life. was beaten by An Sanshao and An Ze again, and went to half his life. I can't wait to return the pain that An Sanshao and An Ze inflicted on him tenfold to An Sanniang.

But because of the obscenity of the An family, he only dared to think about it. often used his mouth to insult and treat An Sanniang coldly, and he didn't dare to really beat her.

When Zhou Yuanda and An Sanniang returned to Jishan Village with the silver given by Second Master An, Zhou Dafu and Wei and other elders who felt sorry for Zhou Yuanda learned what happened from Zhou Yuanda's mouth, and they collectively disliked An Sanniang.

Since then. A few mean-mouthed daughters-in-law of the Zhou family, who started with Wei, said that An Sanniang was abducted by bandits and dirty, and she was no longer innocent. They wantonly trampled on An Sanniang's reputation and discredited the An family.

At that time, An Sanniang was madly in love with Zhou Yuanda, even if she was scolded and treated coldly, she was reluctant to leave him, and went back to An's house to cut off contact with the Zhou family.

For a long time, she was so hurt by gossip that she didn't dare to go out to meet people, so she locked herself in her room all day long to do embroidery work, and washed her face with tears.

Because Jishan Village is far away from Anping Town. Although rumors of An Sanniang's loss of virginity were circulating everywhere in the village, no one dared to spread this word out of the village and to Anping Town.

Because of the large power of the An family, they dominate Anping Town. They didn't dare to openly oppose the An family, they only dared to gossip behind their backs and get over their mouths.

……

Thinking of those gloomy days, An Sanniang, who was lying on the big bed in his boudoir in Anfu, sighed infinitely. Now she can't believe that she has been in the Zhou family, and she has loved without dignity and self for so long.

The girl who wants her to settle down. should have been incomparably rich and prosperous, and her life was comfortable and worry-free, but she made her life as happy as An's dog.

She didn't dare to imagine herself at the beginning. How did you disobey your parents, and how many times did you break your parents' hearts?

"Why was I so stupid and selfish in the past?" An Sanniang buried her face in the cool and smooth silk quilt, and let her tears flood: "An Sanniang, you are simply not worthy of being the daughter of the An family!" ”

Yang happened to push the door in at this time, and she saw An Sanniang crying and repenting. The heart is sour and sweet, the sour thing is that the daughter has suffered too much, and the sweet thing is that the daughter finally sobered up, understood right and wrong, and no longer stuck to Zhou Yuanda and the Zhou family in a hot way.

"Sanniang, mother's good daughter." Yang is a soft-hearted person, seeing the most beloved young girl holding the quilt and crying, her tears are like pearls with broken threads, flowing non-stop. She walked to the side of the bed in a few steps and hugged An Sanniang's head. "Don't blame yourself, we don't blame you. Be good, don't cry, you've gone home, the Zhou family doesn't want to hurt you anymore, don't be afraid, don't cry. ”

When An Sanniang heard this, she cried more and more sadly, "Mother! I know that I am wrong, and I will definitely change it in the future! I will be obedient and filial to you, and I will not make you sad again. "But how can you not blame me! I'm sorry for you like that.

Shame is like a tide, rushing out of my heart, about to drown An Sanniang.

"Alright, it's okay." Yang repeated the phrase softly over and over again.

An Sanniang was comforted by her gentleness and tolerance, and gradually stopped crying.

"Sanniang, your father, uncle, San Lang and Steward An are still waiting for you in the inner study. They still have questions for you about the gold mine you mentioned earlier. Yang personally dipped his handkerchief in it, gently wiped An Sanniang's face, and took out a new set of peach-colored satin clothes from her cabinet and asked her to go out to meet people.

An Sanniang hasn't worn a gorgeous costume with such good material and bright colors for a whole year. When she was changing clothes, the rough palm of her hand accidentally cut through the new clothes, and the cocoon in the palm brought out a few strands of silk thread.

An Sanniang sighed distressedly, and was not picky, quickly changed her clothes, and soon followed the Yang family to the inner study of the main courtyard to meet Master An and Second Master An.

……

"Sanniang, I called you here to ask you, do you know the size and depth of the gold mine? What is the color of gold sand in the mine? As soon as Master An saw An Sanniang, he asked her one after another: "Also, are you sure that only the Zhou family and you know about the gold mine?" ”

"Uncle, I don't know the specific situation of the gold mine, when Zhou Yuanda and they dug out the gold mine, I only glanced at it from a distance. However, I remember that there were many golden, black, and grayish-brown lumps in the mine, the large ones the size of a washbasin, and the small ones the size of a dragon's eye. ”

"The soil in the mine contains a lot of finely broken gold sand, and the color of the gold sand is quite bright, although it is not as yellow and charming as the gold refined, but it is also very good." An Sanniang replied: "I can be sure that only the Zhou family and I know about that gold mine. ”

"So, that gold mine is probably a high-grade gold mine!" Master An clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it into the palm of his left hand. The light in his eyes shone brightly: "With the selfishness and greed of Zhou Dafu and the Zhou family, they will definitely want to take this gold mine for themselves temporarily...... This is our chance to settle down. ”

The manager of An University also eagerly mentioned: "Master, why don't I bring a batch of henchmen over now and take care of the Zhou family." ...... that gold mine"

"No!" Master An said: "This gold mine, our An family must have a share, but it is impossible to monopolize it." When Sanniang came back, there was a lot of commotion, and I believe that Wei Zhixian, who lives in the side courtyard, as well as the Gao family and the Feng family. They all sniffed out anomalies. At this time, we should hand over the control of this gold mine to the Feng family's staff......"

"Why?!" Second Master An roared: "Big brother, how can you give away the gold in your mouth? ”

"You're stupid!" Master An glanced at Second Master An, then looked at An Sanshao, who was bowing his head and contemplating, and said to him: "Zhijun, you tell your second grandfather why I did this." ”

"Second grandfather, the gold mine is too big for us to touch. It's better to let the Feng family come forward to mine, and we will drink soup behind the Feng family. Even if it's just a few scraps. It's also a lot of wealth. ”

"It is said in the "Dajing Law Code" that all the people of Dajing, if they find any copper, iron, silver and gold mines in the territory of Dajing, they must report to the nearest county or government office as soon as possible, and then the local prefect or prefect will write a letter and report to the imperial court, and then the imperial court will send officials and craftsmen to the mine to collect and smelt gold, silver, copper and iron."

"If anyone secretly hides mines or smelts minerals without permission, if they are discovered, they will all be cut in half, and the three tribes will be harmed. It is the descendants of its collateral lineage, and the generations are not allowed to enter the office. ”

An Sanshao's words made the second master of An, who was not familiar with the law, hear it, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He shrunk back in his chair and said no more. Good boy! Fortunately, the eldest brother stopped him, otherwise the An family would not have been harmed by him.

An San rarely saw that Second Master An shut up in amusement, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "The gold mine discovered by the Zhou family can't be hidden. You can't hide it. The reason why they did not report to the government in time was probably because they wanted to keep some gold ore with sufficient gold content and good fineness, and smelt it into gold privately. Make a windfall. ”

"I estimate that in two or three days at the latest, the Zhou family will send a letter to Wei Zhixian. The discovery of gold mines is a major event in a county or even a state, and if Wei Zhixian reports this matter to the imperial court, he will definitely be rewarded by the saint, and it is not a dream to be promoted to become rich. Even the Zhou family, who discovered the gold mine, will be rewarded. ”

"If the Zhou family is allowed to tell Wei Zhixian about this and teach him and the Zhou family to get along, in the future, in Anping Town, our An family will not be able to dominate the family. Besides, the Zhou family was confiscated by us and driven out of Anping Town, and they must have poisoned the An family in their hearts. When the Zhou family gains power, it will be when the nightmare of our settlement comes. In addition, now the Gao Feng family and Wei Zhixian are all eyeing my Anjia, they are waiting for the opportunity to annex the Anjia family, and seek the family property of the Anjia family......"

"What do you mean?" An Er Master and An Sanniang both asked An Sanshao with a stupid face. The psychology of the father and daughter at this moment is magically synchronized: the last sentence of the king is really incomprehensible to them. How did An Jia become a fish on someone else's board? Obviously, they should settle down with a sword!

"You don't have to talk to them about this, they don't understand it. Knowing too much is not a good thing. Master An said: "Old. Second, Sanniang, shut up! Listen to the king to continue. ”

An Zhijun Wolf drank a cup of Junshan Silver Needle, moistened his throat and continued: "In short, it is impossible for us to settle down on that gold mine, and we have no ability to swallow it. This matter must be reported to the imperial court, for today's plan, we must be one step ahead of the Zhou family and sell this news to the Feng family's staff, so as to curry favor with the Feng family and find a place for the An family. lest Anping Town be blocked by the Feng family in the future, and there will be no place for us to settle down. ”

"No, I don't understand!" Second Master An heard this, his head was big, and his eyes were black circles, "Our An family is now dominant in Anping Town, and it is running well, why do we have to act according to the eyes of the Feng family?" Also, the Feng family has a limited number of people, how can they block this huge Anping Town? Wrong! Why did they blockade Anping Town? ”

"Alright, with your head, you can't understand how you think. Don't push yourself. Master An listened to the words of Second Master An and said to Second Master An with pity. He didn't want to look at his stupid brother again, so he directly ordered the expulsion: "Old. Second, you take Sanniang down. ”

"Wait." An Sanniang asked Master An: "Uncle, if we inform the Feng family about this before the Zhou family, will the Zhou family be in danger?" I heard that Mr. Jing Ling, a staff member of the Feng family, was ordered by Feng Ge Lao to come to Anping Town to do things for the Feng family. He knew that the Zhou family had temporarily concealed the gold mine's deposits, would he take action to dispose of the Zhou family? At present, I have not reconciled with Zhou Yuanda, if the Zhou family is punished, will I also be implicated? Will it have any bad effects on us settling in? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it." Master An waved his hand and motioned for An Sanniang and Second Master An to go out: "Don't talk about the gold mine to outsiders for the time being. ”

"Wait!" Master An really didn't worry about An Sanniang, and couldn't help but warn her: "Sanniang, now that you are back, you must accompany your parents well and do your filial piety in front of them." In the past few years, because you are ignorant, your father and mother have been bitter, and their gray hair has come out. In the future, I won't allow you to be sorry for them again. Otherwise, I will officially expel you from your home and leave you to fend for yourself. Got it? ”

"I understand, uncle." An Sanniang smiled bitterly, and said against Master An's sharp knife-like gaze: "Sanniang will not dare to disobey your words." ”

"That's good." Master An watched An Sanniang and Second Master An leave, and asked An Da Steward to go over and close the door, and he and An Sanshao sat face to face at the tea table and continued to deliberate.

"Zhijun, the discovery of this gold mine is a turning point for us to settle down! We have to take advantage of it and make good use of it. As he spoke, Master An suddenly remembered something, and asked An Sanshao in a low voice: "I asked you to send someone to check whether the news you got from the Cen family is true." What have you found out? ”

"According to the report of the spies, the Feng family does receive a large amount of silver from Xiangfu Ji every month, which is used to purchase weapons, armor, etc." An Sanshao lowered his voice and said: "As Senior Brother Da Lang told me before, the Feng family got the will of the Holy Lord and sent the Gao family to select good seedlings for the six princes in Huaizhou, conduct key training, and train them into an elite army. ”

During this time, the Feng family did make frequent moves in private, and Feng Ge Lao looked for a few people of insight from the Feng family's own home, and personally sent his most valued confidant, Mr. Jing Ling, to the southwest to survey the terrain first. Mr. Jingling has chosen our Anping Town, and wants to turn this place into a training place for the Six Princes. ”

"Grandfather, Mr. Jingling has been in Anping Town for more than a year, and he instigated our Anjia to include the entire Anping Town. A few days ago, my father wrote back and said that the Feng family, who had delayed the operation for unknown reasons, had now regrouped and had selected a group of elite soldiers in various state capitals and was about to rush to Anping Town. At that time, they will unite with the Gao family and mobilize the talents selected by the Gao family within this year to block the entire Anping Town. ”

"Grandfather, our home is in danger!" An Sanshao thought of what Cen Erye, Cen Dalang and Cen Erniang analyzed for him, and the pros and cons of the An family, and his heart was full of thoughts: "If the soldiers sent by the Feng family will arrive, our An family will definitely be the first to be used by them to sacrifice the knife." Our family is rich, and the Feng family needs a lot of money to train soldiers for the six princes, isn't our settlement the best wronged boss! ”

"What are you anxious about!" Master An didn't have a bottom in his heart, he forced himself to calm down: "I said it, the gold mine discovered by the Zhou family is the turning point of our An family." You listen to me ......" (To be continued.) )
