After that night, Chen Yuanheng invited a few colleagues to persuade Xu Zhijie, probably meaning that Xu Zhijie should be more conscious, reconcile with his wife earlier, return his wife's dowry, and give the custody of Mingzhu to his wife, so that he would be exempted from the government. Because the Hu family has already written a complaint and filed it in the yamen, if Chen Yuanheng accepts it, it will hurt Xu Zhijie's face, and for the sake of his colleagues, he will forget it privately, so as not to affect the official reputation.

Xu Zhijie had no choice but to swallow his anger and agree to leave. Aunt Sun is so happy, although the plan has changed, but the result is unexpectedly good, Mrs. and left, she can be corrected, she has waited for this day for too long.

But when it really came to the day when she was going to take and leave the book, Aunt Sun couldn't laugh. Because neither Xu Zhijie nor Aunt Sun thought that the Hu family still had the dowry list she had married. When she got married, her mother's family was in its heyday, so the dowry list was marked with the seal of the current prime minister. Because the current Cheng was just a waiter at the beginning, he had a good relationship with Hu's father, and he participated in her wedding.

Xu Zhijie originally wanted to get a dowry list to fool the past, but he didn't expect that the Hu family still had such a deadly thing in his hands, and it was useless to deny it now, who would dare to say that there was a problem with the seal of the prime minister today, so he could only pay the Hu family's dowry according to the list.

It's just that so many years have passed, and many things on the original dowry list are gone, such as the two Zhuangzi who accompanied the marriage have long been sold, and some precious fabrics have long been given away, and many have become Aunt Sun's clothes. Now, after negotiation with the middleman, it can only be valued as silver for the Hu family. Fortunately, there is a part of the antique calligraphy and painting is collected in the treasury and most of them are in, and the ones that have been sent out are also valued as silver, and this part is more money, after all, after so many years, the antique calligraphy and painting have long appreciated. There is also the head and face jewelry for the wedding, which is easy to find out, and it is all in Aunt Sun and Xu Zhijie's mother.

After this search, the middlemen were very disdainful of the Xu family, and for a while, people outside knew that the Xu family had squandered the marriage of Mrs. Hu for so many years, but let the Hu family live a life without food, which is really cold.

Xu Zhijie took out so much money at once, it was really hard work for 20 years and one night to return to the pre-liberation period. After so many years, he took out all the money he had collected as an official, and he was forced to sell three granges. But this is still not enough, after all, those antique calligraphy and paintings are too valuable, and the two Zhuangzi in the Hu family's marriage are granges near the capital, and the land price is much more expensive than that in Ancheng.

Xu Zhijie had no choice but to go to Aunt Sun's room and search for it, and wanted to find some of Aunt Sun's jewelry to sell, but unexpectedly found a small box where Aunt Sun hid her private money. Xu Zhijie asked Aunt Sun to open it, but Aunt Sun refused to do so. The two of them had a fight. The subordinates hurriedly went to tell Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu was already uncomfortable, her precious jewelry that she had occupied her daughter-in-law for many years was taken away, and she was sick with righteousness, and now she heard that her son and Aunt Sun had a quarrel, and she was too busy to get sick, so she hurriedly let the maid help her to come to Aunt Sun's room. At one look, Aunt Sun and her son were grabbing a small box, and Mrs. Xu hurriedly called the mother-in-law standing next to her to help her son, and finally took the small box down.

Mrs. Xu asked, "What is this, what are you doing here?" ”

Xu Zhijie panted tiredly and said: "It's all this slut, I just found this little box, asked her what was inside, she didn't say anything if she died, she had to take it away, didn't she take it with her." Hey, I'm so angry, what to grab, you are a little aunt, and you are not the lady of the main room, where can you hide your belongings privately, and let your mother-in-law smash the lock directly, I am really angry. The last two sentences were addressed to Aunt Sun.

Aunt Sun was shocked when she heard this, but Xu Zhijie said that she would do it, and immediately asked her mother-in-law to take something and smash the lock open. That mother-in-law was already a strong woman, and the lock was small, so she smashed it open all at once. Xu Zhijie opened it and saw that the mother and son were stunned. I saw that it was full of silver tickets and more than 20 small gold ingots.

Mrs. Xu didn't know how to read, but she also knew that this was a silver ticket, and who didn't know the bright gold.

Xu Zhijie hurriedly took out the silver ticket and counted it, and immediately exclaimed: "God, there are more than 9,000 taels here, how can you have so much money as a woman?" ”

Old Madam Xu was stunned when she heard this number.

Xu Zhijie rolled his eyes, looked at the maids and women beside him, and said to them in a deep voice: "You all go down, if you say a word outside what you see today, I will be beaten to death by family law." ”

These maids were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly retreated. There was only one particularly well-dressed maid whose eyes flashed, she didn't speak, she lowered her head and retreated, this person was Lan Xiang. Since she climbed into Xu Zhijie's bed, she has been thinking about how to get Aunt Sun down all the time. Before, Xu Zhijie would come to Aunt Sun's room to search for it, and it was her idea behind her to fight for the box between Xu Zhijie and Aunt Sun, and she also went to the old lady to report the news. Now seeing that Xu Zhijie and Aunt Sun didn't notice her, they hurriedly lowered their heads and retreated. The maids and maids all walked away, and she bypassed everyone and went to the back wall of Aunt Sun's room to listen.

Xu Zhijie didn't pay attention to this, and saw that the miscellaneous people in the house were gone, and asked gloomily: "Where did you get all this money?"

Aunt Sun lowered her head and didn't say anything. Mrs. Xu said: "Do you still need to ask, she has been in charge of the house for more than ten years, and I don't know how much oil and water she has fished." Pity me God is still saving money, the money has been picked up by you, a slut, there must be more than that, it must have been given to my mother's family. Some time ago, I was thinking about making a pair of gold longevity bracelets, but you told me that there was no gold in the house, and this year the money was tight, so I didn't make a sound, and now you see, how many gold ingots do you have in this box? ”

Xu Zhijie said: "No matter how much the housekeeper makes oil and water, there is no reason for so much money, say it quickly, or I will sell you immediately." ”

Aunt Sun raised her head in fright when she heard this, and the pear blossoms that cried brought rain: "Master, I never fished for oil and water when I was housekeeping, I managed this family for a month with so little money, even if I was greedy, I didn't have so much money." ”

Xu Zhijie said: "I know this, so I want to ask you where the money comes from, you are not a lady, you have a large amount of dowry, and you came naked when you came." ”

Aunt Sun hates to hear this the most, but she doesn't dare to tell the truth, she just cries there.

Xu Zhijie said ruthlessly: "If you don't say anything, I'll take the family law, first hit twenty boards and then sell it to the kiln, anyway, you still have a bit of a look now, and you must be able to live better than my house." ”

Aunt Sun was so frightened that she didn't even dare to cry. After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said: "These are all things that I have accumulated over the years with my lord in office, and they were all given to me by the person who begged the lord to do something, but I didn't want them." ”

Xu Zhijie came to his senses: "I said, that's right, the year before last I helped a person do something, helped him rob his widowed sister-in-law's property, afterwards, he sent three thousand taels of silver, later, his widow's sister-in-law sued Shangfeng, and sentenced the family property from the new, he had to return the swallowed property to his widowed sister-in-law, later, he asked me for the silver, I returned him three thousand taels, but he was unwilling, saying that the original delivery was five thousand taels. I wondered, I obviously took over 3,000 taels, how could it become 5,000 taels. It turns out that his two thousand taels are with you, isn't it? ”

Aunt Sun lowered her head and whispered, "Yes, it was given to me when her wife invited me before she ran errands." ”

Xu Zhijie said: "You have suffered a lot of money like this, right? ”

Aunt Sun's eyes dodged: "No, no, no." ”

Xu Zhijie said hatefully: "It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." I'm going to have to do it today. ”

After saying that, I have to run out to get the family law. Aunt Sun was so frightened that she fell to the ground. At this time, the door suddenly opened, and three people rushed in, shouting, "Father, father, go around my aunt." ”

But it turned out to be Aunt Sun's son Xu Jizu and daughter Pearl and Jewel. The three of them wept, and one of them, Pearl and Jewel, said, "Father, father, it's all our fault, please spare my mother." For our sake, we will definitely get ahead in the future, and we will definitely be able to be ashamed of today, father, please. ”

Mrs. Xu felt most sorry for her only grandson, and when she saw her grandson crying and falling to the ground, she was already distressed and screamed. Busy helping up his grandson, but ignoring the two granddaughters.

Mrs. Xu said to Xu Zhijie: "Son, you can spare Aunt Sun for the sake of your step-ancestors." It's the biological mother of my step-grandfather. ”

Xu Zhijie took Pearl Jewel's words to heart. looked at the two concubines seriously. Pearl is tall, big-eyed, and very gorgeous at a young age. The orb is plump and picturesque.

The pearls and orbs were seen by my father straight.

Xu Zhijie said: "Okay, I won't punish the second lady, I will take this silver ticket and gold ingot, just enough to pay off the Hu family's marriage." You are all my own birth, how can I not look at your face. Okay, go and help the second lady to freshen up, and after a while, when the wind subsides, I will choose a day to straighten the second lady. So you're all born. ”

The words confused Aunt Sun and the three children, this Xu Zhijie has to use the family law against Aunt Sun one moment ago, and he will straighten her the next moment, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd? But at this time, they didn't dare to speak, so they could only murmur in their hearts again. Mrs. Xu didn't understand either, but when she saw that her son didn't care anymore, she stopped talking. Outside the window, listening to the orchid in the corner, she gritted a mouthful of silver teeth. It's really unreasonable to be able to let Aunt Sun escape in this way. It's just that Lan Xiang doesn't understand why Xu Zhijie suddenly changed his mind, it seems that he needs to take Xu Zhijie's words well at night.
