After reading the letter, Cen Erniang and Cen Erye were very grateful to the Liu family for their help to their family, knowing that the enemies who had harmed their family had been punished, but they did not have a trace of relaxation and joy in their hearts. After all, the tragedy has happened, and the dead people will not be able to come back to life because of the Gao family's retribution.

However, there are people from the Gao clan who have paid for their lives for Mama Shen, and I believe that if those dead souls have spirits in the sky, they should be laid to rest.

Cen Erniang and Cen Erye carefully wrote replies to the Liu family. Second Master Cen also wrote a sincere letter of thanks to the old patriarch of the Cen family, the third master of Cen and Cen Moshan, and sealed a thick red envelope to the steward of the Liu family, asking him to take the letter to the Liu family and the Cen family back to Hong'an Mansion.

The steward got a rich reward, said goodbye to Cen Erye and Cen Erniang with a smile, and got into the carriage and left.

After the housekeeper of the Liu family left, Cen Erniang and Cen Erye, escorted by Lin Siye and his two cronies, went to Xiangfu Ji Qian Zhuang on the streets of Zhuque Street, and exchanged all the redemption tickets and gold tickets for silver tickets.

Afterwards, they returned to the side courtyard of the substation. Second Master Cen took a silver ticket of one hundred taels to Fourth Master Lin and asked him to invite the other two to the restaurant for dinner, which was regarded as the Cen family's thanks to them for accompanying him and Cen Erniang on a trip to the bank. He himself closed the door with Cen Erniang, got together, and counted the silver taels on them. Excluding all kinds of expenses and tips along the way, there are about 47,000 taels left. It's a pity that the silver ticket and the purse containing 20,000 taels of silver and the purse on the Lin family were accidentally lost during the escape.

However, Second Master Cen's father and daughter also regretted it for a moment, after all, money is something outside the body, and it is good that people are still alive.

As for the trick that Mama Shen left for Cen Erniang, it has a special meaning, and Cen Erniang didn't plan to use it. In her heart, the money in the bag is Mama Shen's savings and should be left to her family.

Mama Shen once said that she also has a younger brother Shen Mao, who is five years younger than her, who is still alive, but she doesn't know where he has gone. Thinking about it, now her younger brother should also have a family. Although she didn't know where the man was, she would always find him for Mama Shen.

This is Mama Shen's wish, and she must fulfill it for her.

Cen Erniang took out 12,000 taels out of 47,000 taels, and this silver was used to reward those dart masters who had desperately protected their family. Before, she and Second Master Cen had assured Fifth Master Lin that the dart masters who traveled all the way, regardless of life or death, each would have a reward of five hundred taels of silver. And those dart masters who have died, naturally Lin Wuye will bring the silver back and hand it over to their families.

In addition, I have to thank Governor Sun and Lin Siye, Dr. Meng of the sub-bureau who treated them, the Cao brothers who rescued Cen Dalang and Granny Feng, and the seven squads that led the troops to search and rescue their family this time, in addition, there are more than 20 pioneers who first discovered the Lin family and beat the man in black away.

Cen Erniang roughly calculated, this will cost nearly 10,000 taels of silver. So they had only twenty-five thousand taels of silver left.

In addition, the clay gifts that were intercepted and killed by the man in black before were all scrapped, and they had to be repurchased with silver.

Cen Erniang discussed with Cen Erye, this time they were attacked, most of the original dart masters who escorted them died, and the rest were seriously injured, and most of them could no longer escort them back to Huaizhou Mansion, and they had to trouble Lin Siye and the twenty dart masters of the sub-bureau to send them away, which was another expense. And they are not familiar with the dart master of the sub-bureau, and I don't know if there are any people who want to make money and turn back halfway, so it is better to buy some things casually, which means something. Before, when she and Cen Erye went to Xiangfuji to withdraw money, they hid it from Lin Siye and the three of them, and the three of them only knew that they had redeemed some silver tickets, but they didn't know how much.

Second Master Cen listened to Cen Erniang's concerns, and felt that it was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed with her words.

Cen Erniang allocated another 7,000 taels from 25,000 taels, of which 3,000 taels were used to hire a dart master, 2,000 taels were used to build a soil ritual in Zhanzhou City, and another 1,000 taels were used to buy clothes and medicinal materials and other travel necessities, and finally there were 1,000 taels, which were used to eat and spend money on the road.

In this way, the remaining property of the Cen family is only 18,000 taels of silver. The eighteen thousand taels of silver were divided into two parts by Cen Erniang, she took 10,000 taels, and the remaining eight thousand taels were kept by Cen Erye.

After storing the only remaining 18,000 taels of silver in the Cen family, Cen Erye and Cen Erniang sat around the table, Cen Erye took a knife to cut paper, and Cen Erniang sat on the side, folding paper without distraction, and folded more than 20 red envelopes.

Immediately, Cen Erye picked up the pen and wrote the names of the dart masters who sacrificed and paid for their family on each red envelope. Cen Erniang counted the silver tickets on the side, stuffed five hundred taels into each red envelope, and then sealed the red envelope carefully.

Their father and daughter cooperated tacitly, and soon prepared all the red envelopes.

Second Master Cen picked up the thick stack of red envelopes, carefully stacked them, wrapped them in oiled paper, and went out of the room to visit Fifth Master Lin, who was still recuperating in bed, and fulfilled his promise.

Cen Erniang sat at the desk, holding a pen and writing the gifts she wanted to buy word by word. Every time she wrote a few words, she stopped, thought for a while, and then continued to write.

I don't know how long it took, but halfway through the writing, someone knocked on the door.

Cen Erniang put down her pen and opened the door to see that it was the little guy guarding the gate. The man respectfully handed Cen Erniang a letter with both hands, saying that it was sent from Hong'an Mansion, indicating that she wanted to open it in person.

Cen Erniang frowned suspiciously: This letter was written to her by Yang Peng, but, why did that person write to her?

When the little man who guarded the door saw that Cen Erniang had received the letter, he turned around and ran, saying that Dr. Meng was waiting for him at the door and wanted to go to the pharmacy with him to buy medicine.

Cen Erniang pressed her doubts, watched the little guy leave, closed the door, sat back at the desk, and opened the envelope with the knife that Cen Erye used to cut paper, and began to look slowly.

Yang Peng's words, changing and smart, are born and fresh and elegant, although they have not yet reached the realm of the pen walking the dragon and snake, and the power of the back of the paper, but for a twelve-year-old boy, it is already very good. From between the lines, it can be seen that he is attentive to calligraphy.

Cen Erniang was not in a hurry to read the content of the letter, she began to recall: Before leaving Hong'an Mansion, she had handed over Yang Peng to Libai to take care of, and at that time Libai said that he would take Yang Peng north to join the army. Counting the days, Yang Peng should arrive in Mobei with Libai and the Northern Expedition at this time. How could he write to her at this time? Could it be that something happened to Lipper?

Cen Erniang looked at the letter paper solemnly, she stretched her eyebrows for a while, raised her eyebrows for a while, and amazed for a while......

But a quarter of an hour later, Cen Erniang read Yang Peng's letter with a complicated face, and she didn't know what to say. She didn't expect that the Gao family sent Mama Zhao to drugged and abort the fetus in the outer room, which kicked off her miserable old age, and this was actually Yang Peng's handiwork!

Yang Peng told Sù Cen Erniang at the beginning of the letter that Shuying married into the Fang family, and life was prosperous, and everyone in the Fang family treated her very kindly, which reassured her. Libai went to Mobei with the Northern Expeditionary Army, and he was left by Libai to take care of the house.

It turned out that Libai thought he was too young, and was afraid that he would lose his life on the battlefield when he went north, so he bought an honest middle-aged couple and stayed in the house to take care of Yang Peng's daily life.

Then, Yang Peng wrote that not long ago, after Libai left, he disguised himself as an orphan and sold himself into the Cen family's West Mansion. Because he wanted to bring down the Gao family and avenge his parents. He happened to be sent to Cen Yulian's yard to be a sprinkler and sweeper. It took him a few days to get in touch with Jiang, a housekeeper and daughter-in-law who had a good relationship with Yang's second sister-in-law in the past.

It turned out that before the accident of Yang Er's sister-in-law, she had buried a locked box next to the patio of the Yang family's old house, and she told Yang Peng that if she and Yang Er had an accident, she would ask him to dig out the box, saying that the box could protect him from safety.
