Everyone in the room was silent, and there was a little restlessness and restlessness in the silence.

Mrs. Cui didn't reply, but subconsciously stood up.

"It's none of your business here, you go back!" Uncle Cui opened his mouth and drove him away majestically and calmly as usual.

"Zhi Niang just said that someone came to the door to find out, what secrets do you have!" Cui Jia gritted his teeth and looked at him.

He didn't come out again in a fit of anger after being driven back to the room by Mrs. Cui last night, but his disdain for Uncle Cui continued.

Shang Yan was on duty in the Yamen for half a day, only to feel distraught, thinking that if Uncle Cui went to the Xu family for a private meeting, it would be impossible to wear a night suit and carry a sword, and he felt that he insisted on letting him marry Xu Ying This layer is incomprehensible, and he doesn't understand what he will do in the Xu family if it is not for personal affairs?

The whole person's thoughts were not calm for a moment, so he simply went home.

How do you know that as soon as I came back, I saw Zhiniang hurriedly entering the main room, so I also followed the back into the courtyard, and stood under the door, but I heard such news!

"Oh," Uncle Cui softened his complexion, "That's not a big deal, just deal with it for my father." ”

Cui Jia looked at Mrs. Cui and then at him, and said, "Last night, I saw my father sneak into Xu Yong's mother's courtyard. I don't know if my father can tell me, who are you going to Xu's house to? ”

Uncle Cui came back last night in a panic, Mrs. Cui paid all her attention on whether the matter was successful or not, and she never told Uncle Cui that Cui Jia had come to this matter, as soon as he entered the door just now, Mrs. Cui felt that her head was big, and now that she saw him here chattering, she couldn't help but rush up and say: "Didn't I tell you that it wasn't what you thought?" Why are you still dwelling on this? ”

"Mother is taking me for a fool, right?" Cui Jia's face sank: "It's not what I thought, so what?!" ”

"I said, it's none of your business here—"

"If you don't say it, I'll go to Xu's house and ask what happened!"

Cui Jia yelled and turned around, striding out the door.

A room of people hurriedly stepped forward to drag him, but in the end, Uncle Cui's eyes were quick, and an arrow stepped forward to block him, and pushed him back into the house, giving Zhi Niang a look. When she went out, she closed the door and glared at Cui Jia and gritted her teeth.

Cui Jia doesn't have a good face, although the son doesn't say anything about the father, even if Uncle Cui really has something to say to others. He is not qualified to blame, but he just remembered that he felt unbalanced when he forced him to marry Xu Ying, and he couldn't bear to have such an ugly truth behind him forcing him to marry Xu Ying!

He pushed aside Uncle Cui and was about to break out of the door, but Mrs. Cui finally couldn't help but pounce, stopped her waist and hugged Cui Jia and said, "It's all here." I'll tell you the truth, sir! If he really makes some jokes, it will be more than worth the loss! ”

Uncle Cui sighed and sat down on the couch, "Bring all the account books!" ”

Zhiniang outside the door quickly entered the door with a pile of account books.

Uncle Cui pushed them all in front of Cui Jia: "You come to open your mouth and stretch out your hand for dinner on weekdays, take a look at our family background first, and I'll tell you!" ”

Cui Jiahu took it in his hand suspiciously and looked at it, and when he couldn't see it, his brows wrinkled, and the more he looked down, the more his face sank, and finally he finally raised his head: "Why is it all a deficit?" What about our fields and forests? What about the shopkeeper's house? And the piles of rare jade, where are they? Why is there only so much left? ”

Mrs. Choi's eyes were red and she looked away.

Uncle Cui took the account book in his hand and closed it. "Ten years ago, in order to raise 500,000 taels of silver, I partnered with others to open a mine, and most of my belongings were sold privately. However, the 500,000 taels of silver have not returned, and the food and clothing in the house over the years have actually been supported by my income over the years and the remaining meager production. ”

"500,000 taels!"

Cui Jia gasped, 500,000 taels should be all the belongings saved by generations for their family!

Their house was empty ten years ago, and he didn't know it at all!

"What you see now is all about the decency of our family." Uncle Cui looked at him with blazing eyes, and clenched his hands unconsciously, "We have the family wealth in hand now." It's just enough to maintain our normal life, and even the dowry for you to marry the Feng family is from your mother's dowry. ”

Cui Jia was completely stunned.

He never thought that his family was so poor, and he didn't think he was a gentleman. But he was so poor that he couldn't even get the dowry, but he couldn't accept it! Without money, how can he still make friends in diplomacy? How to curry favor and save the relationship with the Feng family!

"Then what does this have to do with you going to Xu's house?" He quickly found the key.

"That's because," Uncle Cui gritted his teeth, and there was a flash of agitation in his eyes: "As long as we get the half of the seal letter that fell into the hands of the Xu family, we can end this embarrassing day from now on!" ”

Cui Jia was stunned.

The time passed quickly.

After eating, Xu Ying took a nap. In fact, she didn't sleep very well, because Xu Bing's crying and scolding from the long room was really harsh, compared to the initiative of the third room, now that they were in chaos, no one would have thought that she would have the courage to force the long house to divorce the Cui family again, of course, even the Yang family did not expect it.

This is inevitably too ruthless, if he really divorces, Xu Bing's life will be over.

But if you are not so ruthless, how can you achieve the goal of separating the family?

When he woke up in the afternoon, Xu Yong came back from the yamen.

She took out the pawn ticket for him as soon as possible.

Xu Yong also has a surprise of willows and flowers, this is too mysterious, even if it is not what the Cui family is looking for, it must have a deep meaning.

But there are still two months to go, which is sad.

"I plan to take it to Yuhengdang tomorrow to have a look, whether it succeeds or not, go and probe their tone." Xu Ying said.

Since Cui Jian is impatient to the point of breaking into the Xu family at night, he will inevitably keep an eye on them, in case he is allowed to rush ahead and do something in the pawnshop.

"Yes."

Xu Yong said. Although he can't get his hands on it right away, he can't rush to this point, and he has to take care of this end of the house first.

It's easy for Xu Ying to split up, and he always makes every effort to do this kind of thing before he says anything else.

The two discussed a few words here, and when they saw Xu Shaoze going back to the long room, they raised their feet and went up to the room.

Mrs. Xu rests early on weekdays, and today she has to prevent her from making excuses, and if Xu Shaoze is after dinner, he will inevitably use them to disturb the old lady's rest as an excuse to avoid talking about this matter, so he can't delay it for a moment.

However, after Xu Yingshang easily stirred up a pot of water in the house, he calmly went to find the purpose of the Cui family, but the second room of the long room, including Mrs. Xu, could not calm down. (To be continued.) )
