It's not that the Pang family can't take out this silver, the Pang family also has a lot of properties under their names, because they took a fancy to Liu Shen and the two families are in-laws and in order to get married, the Pang family did not give Pang a dowry, even if Pang couldn't take out 20,000 taels, 5,000 taels would never be a problem, but Pang Zi had to force her because he grabbed her handle!

Where does she still regard her eldest sister as a sister? It's clear that she's being wronged!

If it weren't for Liu Pu being her own brother, where would she dump her?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel angry.

Qiu Man saw it from the side, and couldn't help but come up and say, "Grandma, what's wrong?" I almost fell in front of my wife before, no. Isn't it uncomfortable? ”

"Nope." Liu shook his head, exhaled, and stood up. After walking a few steps in the direction, she came to the window and looked at the waning moon in the sky, and her heart couldn't help but sink again, after all, it was only ten days, and she should have made a decision no matter what.

Holding on to the windowsill for a long time, she closed her eyes and said, "Go and see the second master, have you had a meal in the past two days?" ”

Fu Niang ordered people to go to Hazelnut Hutong, and Shen Yan estimated that it would take a day or two at the earliest to get news.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, I woke up and remembered that I hadn't talked to Fahrenheit for a long time, so I went to the main room, and saw that she was counting this month's accounts, so I started to do it for her.

Fahrenheit saw her hand crackling with an abacus, and said, "I don't know when you learned such a good gesture." ”

Shen Yan said, "I learned from my cousin." ”

Fahrenheit glanced at her, lowered his head and counted again.

Her daughter is now more and more surprised, not only by her audacity and carefulness, but also by her cunning, and it seems that the more time goes by, the more she is admired, so that planning such a trivial matter is not enough for her to take it as a matter to delve into.

She turned around and asked Ziying to bring some melons and fruits that Shen Yan loved to eat, but when she turned around, she saw Shen Mi enter the courtyard.

"Why did your father come back so early today?" She said as she stood up.

Shen Yan also stood up, and saw Shen Mi walking from under the corridor in a crimson official uniform, with thin lips and long eyebrows lightly, faintly looking as warm as a jade elegant and elegant gentleman's posture, he couldn't help but smile, and jumped over the threshold lightly to greet him, and said all the way: "What good things is there for my father?" ”

Shen Mi waited for her to arrive, and tapped the tip of her forehead: "You see this again?" ”

Shen Yan ha: "I will divinate the hexagram." ”

Shen Mi stood under the early blooming osmanthus of a tree, raised his chin with his negative hand, picked out an arc of his thin lips, and said with a smile: "Then you might as well occupy it, what good thing did I encounter today?" ”

Shen Yan shook his sleeve: "I'm not good at learning, I can't guess." ”

This time, Shen Mi laughed. Fahrenheit walked up with a slight snort: "Look at you two. ”

"I'm really happy today." Shen Mi said proudly: "The queen mother was very satisfied with the fact that the queen mother's birthday banquet was properly arranged, so the emperor rewarded me, which is enough." In addition to this, I was also rewarded with a duan inkstone, as well as two calligraphy and paintings of famous people in the former dynasty. The Queen Mother heard that I still have a naughty daughter, so she said that she wanted to meet you. ”

"See me?" Shen Yan pointed to his nose. In her previous life, she had seen the Queen Mother, but she had never been in close contact, and her impression was very vague.

"yes." Shen Mi nodded with a smile, and then said with a straight face: "But I didn't say what the specific date was, maybe I just said it casually and it was undecided." ”

The heart of heaven is unpredictable. Although it was an honor to be summoned by the Empress Dowager, the Shen family had not been in contact with the Zhou family for a long time, so he didn't know if it really meant to be promoted, he didn't want the result to be like that, but it made Shen Yan look forward to it day and night, so he would rather confess to her first.

But how did he know that Shen Yan did not have any close interest in these people in the palace.

Shen Yan nodded and revealed. The family entered the main hall, Hua personally made tea for Shen Mi, and Shen Yan looked at the emperor's reward.

Shen Mi said: "I won't eat at home tomorrow night, Zhiyi and a few of them coaxed me to celebrate my reward, and booked a painting boat in East Lake, maybe they will come back later." ”

Fahrenheit said, "Got it." ”

Zhiyi is Lu Ding's expression, Guangxi's ink corruption case is now in the six ministries, and the unlucky Qin Cha was imprisoned, but it did not involve others. Because of this case, Lu Deng has recently felt a blessing in disguise, and his attitude towards the previous kidnapping for no reason has also undergone subtle changes.

Therefore, it is said that in order to celebrate Shen Mi's award, I am afraid that I am a little shocked for myself.

Of course Shen Mi is going to such a banquet.

Shen Yan heard that it was Lu Ingot who invited him, so he asked, "Who else is there besides Uncle Lu?" ”

"Your Uncle Gu will also go. There are also two old friends of my father's classmates. Shen Mi said. After that, he sighed again and looked at her: "I heard that you have reconciled with Gu Song recently, but is it true?" ”

Shen Yan was stunned, she couldn't guess who would spread these little things to his ears, but there was nothing to avoid, she said, "Yes." I now find that he is not that bad. ”

Shen Mi was happy: "That's good!" A person must not only look at the shortcomings of others, but also look at their strengths, otherwise, you will never be able to make true friends. ”

Shen Yan hehehe

The next morning, Hua put a few silver tickets in Shen Mi's pocket and sent him out, and Liu also stepped on Shen Mi's heel to Piaoxiangzhai.

Pang Zi booked a private room here, and as soon as Liu Shi entered the door, he said: "I have already inquired that Shen Mi will have a banquet on the Baihu Painting Boat tonight, but in addition to Lu Ingot of Hubu Langzhong, there is also the prince of Rongguo, I am afraid that it will be difficult to act with him." ”

"The prince of Rongguo?" Pang Zi frowned when he heard this, but then let go, "What's this?" The governor of the five cities is the uncle of the country, Anning Marquis Liu Yan, and the heroes and nobles in the court are not very harmonious with the Liu family, and the four princes are even worse, but the Liu family has the support of the queen, and they have not necessarily fallen behind these years. Even if the prince of Rongguo was present, he was not afraid of him messing around. ”

Liu Shi paused and said: "Even so, we still have to ask Wu Zhong to be careful, after all, our purpose is to force Hua's money, not to target Shen Mi, if we really do something unfavorable to the Shen family, even if our old man will not attack him much because of An Ninghou's face, the high-ranking Gu family will not scruple so much." ”

She is also the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and the Shen family's loss of face is not a trace of benefit to her, not to mention that she has a son to consider in the future. This time, she was willing to agree to Ponzi to do this, but she couldn't get rid of it, otherwise how could she do such a hurtful thing to others and herself? If the matter is revealed, then the Shen family is afraid that they will not be able to spare her.

"You can rest assured on this floor!" Pang Zi waved his hand and stood up, "I'll go back and talk to Lord Wu, and you can also go back and wait for my news." All in all, it happened tonight. Speaking of which, the master has been detained for almost a month, and if he doesn't come back, I won't be able to stand the affairs of the family. ”

Said and printed the eye sockets.

Liu couldn't stand it and turned his face away and didn't look at her.

Shen Yan went to Lu's house at noon and came back, and Fu Niang was already waiting for her under the corridor.

Fu Niang couldn't help but pull her into the house and said, "Girl, I have inquired about the whole street of Hazelnut Hutong, and indeed someone saw Master Liu appear in the casino there last month. And the guy in the casino collected a full twenty taels of silver from us, and then confessed that Liu Pu owed the casino a gambling debt of 20,000 taels of silver! ”

Shen Yan's face suddenly sank: "Really? ”

Fu Niang said: "These are all things that our people have heard in person, and the slave maid thinks that they will not tell lies." ”

Gambling debts, in his previous life, he didn't seem to have heard of Liu Pu owing such a huge debt?

Shen Yan hurriedly said: "Have you ever inquired, where is Liu Pu now?" ”

If the inquiring is true, then she won't believe that Liu Pu will go to Cangzhou to sell rice, he owes the casino 20,000 taels of silver, can people let him go? Even if he escaped unexpectedly, but he still has a wife and children, wouldn't those people attack the Liu family? People in the underworld don't care how many connections you have in officialdom, they only recognize money!

"I can't inquire, and the guy won't say it." Fu Niang said.

Shen Yan nodded, the guy didn't say whether he was alive or dead, that showed that he was tired of it.

Now that the Liu family is calm, even Gu Song's people can't see anything abnormal, it can be seen that the casino has not been strictly chasing and beating the Liu family at present, and the reason why they are relieved is that combined with the fact that Linlang went to Hazelnut Hutong with jewelry, it is very likely that Liu Pu has been detained in the casino!

Regardless of whether Linlang is the envoy of the Liu family or not, Aunt Wu's batch of jewelry is obviously not enough to redeem Liu Pu, so Liu Pu is very likely to be in the hands of the creditor now, according to common sense, it is impossible for the other party to forgive the Liu family for a long time, so the Liu family is still very short of money, and the Liu family has been reluctant recently, and it is indeed anxious about this silver!

Thinking about it the other way, since Liu is so worried about her brother's safety, why didn't she instruct Linlang to kill people and take money?

Liu's plan is as clear as it is now!

Shen Yan sat down on the edge of the table, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "You go to prepare the car, let's take a look at Hazelnut Hutong!" You told your grandmother that we went to the back street of Xiangguo Temple to buy some pen and ink. ”

Although the matter is now clear, there are still doubts, why is it the Liu family who is desperately trying to stand out for Liu Pu, not Liu Pu's wife?

Even if Mrs. Liu refuses to use her own selfishness, how could Liu, as the eldest sister, let her ignore Liu Pu's life and death like this? If Mrs. Liu insisted on refusing to rescue her husband, then with the importance of the Liu family to the Liu family, she could do it by directly leaving Mrs. Liu, why did she stay in the mansion so cowardly?
