Chapter 155: Waiting
Linglong also didn't know until today that Feng's dowry, there are three granges in Qingzhou, including two in Yishui, one in Mengyin, a total of more than 2,000 acres of fertile land and mountain forests, and there are also wood workshops, rice and flour workshops, oil mills, and mountain goods shops, a total of ten, which are also managed by Zhang Changsheng.
In addition to Feng Xin's family, there are five other families, some of them are now in the grange, and some are in charge of workshops and shops, but Zhang Changsheng, the chief steward of the three Zhuangzi, is not a companion.
Fen Niang said: "My father-in-law heard that I was going to come to the capital to kowtow to Miss Five, so he brought all the accounts of these years to Miss Five." ”
Linglong was silent, Fen Niang thought that Linglong had reservations about Zhang Changsheng, so she said: "Although my father-in-law is not a child of the family, he is loyal, in order to show Miss Fifth this family business, he has been conscientious and conscientious over the years, and never dares to slack off, otherwise I will not follow him with all my heart." ”
Hearing Fen Niang say this, Linglong asked: "Although I am in Jiangsu, my brother is in the capital, and he has been studying in Taishan Academy for the past few years, why don't you go to him?" ”
Feng Xin is Feng's companion, and he is looking forward to Feng's horse. The three granges are under the unified management of Zhang Changsheng, which is definitely what Feng means. Feng Xin was old, and Feng took a fancy to Zhang Changsheng, but she was still not at ease, so she married her most trusted eldest maid, Fenniang. She gave Fen Niang so much dowry, just to let Fen Niang be looked down upon by the Zhang family, and with Fen Niang helping her guard these properties in Qingzhou Mansion, she was more at ease than anything else.
Something happened to the Feng family, and the Feng family went crazy. Zhang Changsheng and Fen Niang manage the dowry of the Feng family, and it is normal not to hand these over to the Jin family, Linglong is young and in the old mansion, so she can't take over, but Jin Zifeng has also been in Shandong in recent years.
Fen Niang shook her head: "These three granges are all private rooms for the wife of the in-laws, and they are not on the dowry book. The Jin family is rich, and they don't need their wife's silver to make up for it, so even the third master doesn't know about these family businesses in Shandong. It's just that every year the stewards go to the capital to give an account to the wife. The third master only knew that his wife had land and land under her name, but he only knew about the places near the capital. But I didn't know that Shandong also had it.
At first, Mrs. Cousin took pity on Miss Table. It's Aunt Song, and she also told me privately that she wanted to take out a Zhuangzi and pass it to Miss Biao's name, so as not to be strapped for money. Later, the old lord died. The two uncles are at the border again. The wife was busy comforting the in-laws. I put it down. Later, the wife was pregnant with the fifth master at that time, and her spirit was not good, but the third master also wronged his wife. And my wife said to me. Let me not find fault that Zhang Changsheng is a country man, and said that she asked Feng Xin, Zhang Changsheng is a reliable person, let me marry while she is still capable, and help Zhang Changsheng run three granges in Shandong for her. ”
When Fen Niang said this, she couldn't cry, Linglong poured her a cup of tea with her own hands, she wiped her tears, and quickly got up to thank her, Linglong smiled: "You have been in charge of my mother all these years, and I should respect you for this cup of tea." ”
Fen Niang looked at Linglong with tears in her eyes: "If Mrs. knew that Miss was so sensible, she didn't know how happy she would be." ”
Linglong asked: "Have you ever come back after going to Shandong?" ”
Fen Niang nodded: "That year, my father-in-law was going to come to the capital to pay the account, and I also wanted to come to see my wife, our husband and wife came to the capital from Shandong happily, and as soon as we arrived in the capital, we went to Xifu without resting." When I arrived at the door, I felt that something was wrong, the door had changed, it wasn't what I knew before, so I kept an eye on it, anyway, the door didn't know me, I simply said that it was a distant relative of Wang Xi's daughter-in-law, and I came to send some hometown tuyi to Wang Xi's daughter-in-law.
The man turned around and went in, and after a while he came out, saying that there was no such person in this house. I don't know if Miss remembers? Wang Xi's daughter-in-law is also his wife's companion, and she is Rongyuan's housekeeper, how could she not have it. After that, I asked Xianggong to inquire outside, and he spent ten taels of silver to find out, it turned out that the wife was crazy, and the fifth master also died, and Miss You also sent it to the old house. As soon as I heard it, I knew that something was wrong, and I thought of a lot of ways in the capital, but I couldn't see my wife, and I had no choice but to go back to Shandong with my father-in-law, and I saw my family as an old man, and when I talked about it, the old man didn't say a word, so I personally brought someone to the capital again.
A month later, when they returned, the five companions, along with me and my father-in-law, were waiting for him in the Zhuangzi. As soon as the old man entered the door, he cried, and we knew that not only the wife was crazy, but the Feng family also had an accident, the two uncles died unexplained, and there was nothing to say in the capital, and the in-laws were in a hurry, and they were gasped in a few days, and the two uncles and wives were worried that the court would condemn them, and the first seven days of the in-laws and wives had just passed, and they sold the family business in the capital, and the whereabouts of the children were unknown. ”
The godfather in Fen Niang's mouth is Zhang Changsheng's godfather Feng Xin, their family is Feng's companion room, he has already had children and grandchildren around his knees, and he is very prestigious in several companion rooms. He was worried that someone would take advantage of the owner's accident to have evil thoughts, so he called all the people who accompanied the house to discuss together, and merged the accounts of the three Zhuangzi into one, which was first managed by him, and later handed over to Zhang Changsheng.
"Before I married Xianggong, my wife told me that the granges and shops around the capital will belong to the third master in the future, and the third master is the eldest son, and the family business of the third room is also the most he gets; Shandong here, anyway, the Jin family also lacks these, she will study the wife of her in-laws, and in the future, she will privately supplement her daughters, if she gives birth to a few more daughters, she will give them a share, if there is only one of you, Miss Five, then it will be yours.
It was with my wife's words that I discussed with the old man and my family, no matter what happened to the Jin family, it would be best if my wife could get better, and if it really didn't get better, we would wait for Miss Five to come to Miss Five when she grew up. Last month, the little brother surnamed Li came to Yishui to look for me, Xianggong and I were so happy that we didn't sleep all night, we waited for almost ten years, and finally we were able to see Miss Wu and know the news of Mrs. What's even more rare is that Miss Five can still remember me, I can come to the capital again in this life, take a look at my wife, look at Miss Five, I am willing to die even if I die. ”
Linglong didn't say anything for a long time, and when she passed by the bamboo forest that day, she accidentally remembered that her mother had a henchman named Fenniang next to her, who once supported her in this bamboo forest and reprimanded Aunt Li.
If she hadn't remembered, Fenniang's family and the five families in Shandong didn't know how long they would have to wait.
