Chapter 14 Grizzled

Xu family.

When she received Shen Jingfang's letter, Mrs. Xu was still a little puzzled.

If she, a righteous daughter, has something, just let people pass on a message, why write so solemnly?

It can't be a big deal, right?

Mrs. Xu quickly took it apart and looked at it, and after looking at it a few times, she frowned and looked unhappy. She doesn't care so much about her own family, why should she take care of other people's affairs?

However, when she looked down further, her brows furrowed slightly, and she didn't look so mindful. At the end, her eyes had lit up, and the smile on her face couldn't be hidden.

"Go and get the marshal." Mrs. Xu put down the letter and instructed the maid.

After a while, Xu Zhaoting came over.

He is probably the most idle marshal, and since he was in poor health, he has been recuperating at home, and he has no position on him.

Although he felt depressed and sighed all day long, there was still some hope.

Looking forward to the righteous daughter who I value, in order to say a few good words to herself in front of the generalissimo, and give him a real position, even if she promotes her three righteous brothers.

Otherwise, if this continues, how can their Xu family have any status?

In the past, when Shen Jingfang didn't sit firmly in the position of the generalissimo's wife, it was just that, but now, the eldest son has been born, and the generalissimo seems to value her very much, and there are some things that can be done.

"Jingfang has a letter? What did she say? After Xu Zhaoting sat down, he asked.

Mrs. Xu handed him the letter with a smile and said, "It's better for you to read it yourself!" ”

Xu Zhaoting was calm, and after reading it, he didn't make a statement immediately, but frowned, and said, "Just a Qin family, can we spend so much effort to help her?" Although the Qin family is the generalissimo's own sister, as long as the generalissimo doesn't recognize her, she is just a distant relative, what can she help in the future? ”

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "The marshal's words are wrong. The Generalissimo's refusal to recognize her now does not mean that he will not recognize her in the future. It's just because of Mrs. Tai that she refuses to recognize each other so happily. I don't believe that anyone would watch their sister suffer and ignore it. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, it is logical to recognize relatives. ”

That's what is missing.

Although she was surprised by Qin Shu's youth, she never thought that she was not the biological mother of Generalissimo Qin. Later, when she learned the news, she was surprised and accepted it very lightly. At the same time, I was secretly happy for my daughter.

Mrs. Tai is just the adoptive mother of the generalissimo, and when facing her daughter-in-law, I am afraid that she will be a little lacking in confidence, and she will probably not put her mother-in-law's money in front of Jingfang. When Jingfang won over the generalissimo's heart, Mrs. Tai's position in the mansion became embarrassing.

What happened later was as she expected, Mrs. Tai really didn't embarrass Jingfang too much, and happily handed over the housekeeping rights.

It's a pity that the generalissimo has been absent from the mansion for several months, and Jingfang has no chance to win him over, until now, the generalissimo is still very filial and respectful to Mrs. Qin.

Now, if my daughter wants to find help, she should be.

Qin Xingniang is just an older sister, and she married again, so there will be no conflict with Jingfang in the future.

When Xu Zhaoting heard this, he was also a little moved, but he was still weighing the gains and losses in his heart.

After a while, he said, "But, won't we offend Mrs. Tai by doing this?" ”

"How is that possible?" Mrs. Xu raised her voice and said, "We are just helping the sisters of a group of generalissimos, how can we offend Mrs. Tai?" It makes sense that she shouldn't blame us. ”

Otherwise, the generalissimo knew that she was so cold-blooded and was looking forward to the death of her sister, wouldn't there be an estrangement between the mother and son? Mrs. Tai is not that stupid!

Xu Zhaoting said: "If the generalissimo really cared about this sister, he would have helped a long time ago, how could it be our turn?" ”

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "The marshal is too worried. Jing Fang said in the letter that this was what Mrs. Tai meant. As soon as Mrs. Tai heard her mention the generalissimo's sister, she became angry and reprimanded her. Naturally, the generalissimo is not easy to help. In his heart, he must still want to help. Jing Fang is the wife of the generalissimo, and she must know his mind better than we do. After so many years, when did Jingfang make a mistake in making a decision? ”

Xu Zhaoting hesitated for a long time, but finally said: "Okay, I'll let the third child come forward to solve this matter." ”

Among the three brothers, only the third Xu Liqing is still a little capable, and he should be able to solve this matter perfectly.

Mrs. Xu smiled with satisfaction.

As long as this matter is resolved, Jingfang will be happy.

Her promises will definitely be fulfilled one by one.

As a parent, who doesn't want her children to have a good future, she doesn't want her three sons to continue to do nothing.

and Huizhu, there will also be an excellent family business.

There are a lot of young talents under the generalissimo!

In the future, with Jingfang supporting her, she will definitely not be able to suffer.

However, what Mrs. Xu didn't expect was that her son, not only did not do this well, but was beaten half to death.

Those people don't buy his account at all, or rather, those people don't buy the Xu family's account at all.

also blamed Xu Liqing for being too arrogant, relying on his identity, threatening them, and suppressing people with power, from beginning to end, he didn't plan to give money to settle the matter, let alone give them a little sweetness, and promise them some other benefits.

In the end, everyone was furious. These people have roots and power in Yingtian, and they are not ordinary people who have nothing. Although he bowed his head in the form of shì, his arrogance was still there.

It's just that there is no way out, and I heard some news, so I befriended Zhao Cripple, hoping to catch the line of the generalissimo.

Who knows, Zhao Cripple just collects money and doesn't do anything.

Forced to this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, the generalissimo still doesn't care about them.

Suffice it to see that the generalissimo did not pay attention to them at all.

Shuai doesn't pay attention to them at all.

Although, when Xu Liqing came forward, they did feel a little more jealous, after all, they were the sons of the generalissimo's wife, but Xu Liqing was really too deceitful, and coupled with the provocation of people with intentions, they couldn't bear it anymore, so they beat him up.

made the Xu family lose face and make a big ugly. Even Shen Jingfang is also gloomy.

Not only that, but they also robbed Qin Xingniang's house deed, land deed and land deed, and asked them to redeem it with money, otherwise there is no need to talk about it.

Ying Tianfu also has its own yamen, and Qin Youan chose a local person who is famous and capable, and who took refuge in him as the prefect, and all of them came in accordance with the laws and regulations, but from the laws of Dayan to the laws of the Qin family promulgated by Qin Youan. This is true not only of Yingtian, but of all the territories he occupies.

He had been an emperor and was familiar with this.

These land deeds and the like are naturally red deeds certified by the government.

In fact, if you really want to rob it, you can't rob it without going through the guΓ² government.

Therefore, those people didn't plan to really rob it, they were just putting on a show. But it doesn't mean that they have no way to take Zhao's lame family.

Even Zhao Cripple was beaten by them because he was implicated by Xu Liqing, and he couldn't get out of bed at all, and he was almost kicked out of the house.

It is said that Qin Xingniang's mother-in-law fainted from crying on the spot.

Qin Xingniang couldn't cry either, she didn't dare to hate these people, but hated Shen Jingfang.

Hates her for deceiving herself and encumbering herself.

obviously didn't have that ability, and vowed to help him, but as a result, he didn't even want to help them pay for the money.

Obviously, those people said that all they needed was silver.

Isn't it just 20,000 taels of silver, she doesn't believe it, and the Xu family can't take it out.

Shen just said it nicely, but he didn't want to help her at all.

Qin Xingniang went to the door crying and crying that day to find Shen Jingfang Xingshi to ask for guilt.

Shen Jingfang was so upset by her.

After reassuring her, he promised again that he would do his best to resolve the matter.

After finally sending Qin Xingniang away, Shen Jingfang gritted her teeth, she didn't expect her mother's family anymore, she took out gold and silver from her dowry and paid off the debt for Zhao's lame family.

She had a lot of dowry, as well as a dowry, as well as antiques, gold and silver and other things that the generalissimo successively rewarded her, and this little money could still be taken out, but a few pieces of gold and jade jewelry that she liked were added.

The matter was eventually settled.

Shen Jingfang lost face, and now who doesn't know that she was the master of the Zhao family, but she was slapped in the face.

The Zhao family also got back their shops and granges.

It's a pity that what happened before, Qin Xingniang had some complaints about Shen Jingfang, let alone gratitude.

She didn't even come to the door to thank her.

Even if Shen Jingfang is well-cultivated, she is not lightly angry.

In his heart, he secretly complained that the Xu family was incompetent, she couldn't do any trivial things, and she was ugly, and even her face was dull.

The whole person is a little cowardly, and can only continue to call himself sick and see no one.

From beginning to end, Qin Shu watched coldly and did not interfere at all.

And Qin Youan, on the surface, did not make a move, but he still made a move in private, otherwise, how could those people have the courage to confront the Xu family and snatch the title deed?

He just wanted to borrow their hands and teach them a lesson.

Through this matter, the lame family of Zhao should also know his attitude towards them, and they dare not be demons.

The Xu family should be honest for a while.

In this life, as long as the Xu family is a relative with no real power, it will become.

After a few more days of rain, the rain subsided, and finally the Great Compassion stopped.

It's just a pity that this year's harvest, despite desperate rescue, but in many places, the grain harvested can have two or three out of ten of the previous thanks.

Fortunately, You'an had the foresight to seize many areas that were less affected by the disaster early, and there was still a lot of grain in stock. It is still not a problem to feed your own army.

The north is even worse, the drought is very severe, and there has not been a drop of rain until now, and there is no grass in the fields. Even in the capital, grain had to be transported from the south.

The passage for transporting grain has long been occupied by the major rebel armies, cutting off the relationship between the south and the north, and the grain cannot be transported, and those people in the capital are in a hurry.

Now, the imperial court can't care about dealing with Fu Jingshan, but is busy wooing "King Ze", planning to recruit him, persuade him to return, and provide food to the capital.

Who made him the richest except for Qi Wu! is not as ambitious as Qi Wu, although the power is great, but it is not to the point of making the court tremble, and there is no deep hatred with the court, it is really a very good object to woo.

Because Pan Heze suffered losses at Qin You'an's hands again and again, and saw Qin You'an's fierceness, he bit him tightly, and he had long hated Qin You'an, and he also hoped to use the power of the court to deal with Qin You'an.

For Pan Heze, Qin You'an was a greater threat to him than the imperial court.

Therefore, in the end, he attached himself to the imperial court and began to supply food to the capital, and when Qin Youan was killed, he would turn against the water.

Qin Youan knew this, but he didn't pay attention to it, he had already sent someone to start raising sweet potato seedlings, planning to try to plant a season of sweet potatoes, and if he planted it at this time, he would be able to harvest it in autumn.

At the same time, He Yunting also left Ezhou by boat.

Her destination is Yingtian, her hometown.
