Chapter 483: Silver
Mrs. Ren was frightened by Ren Shimin's situation, and she felt a little unable to catch her breath, until Ren Shimin left, she also opened her mouth and couldn't spit out half a word, and when Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua also turned to leave, Mrs. Ren finally covered her head and fell onto the bed, crying: "You group of evil obstacles!" It's the other way around...... It's all reversed...... O old lady! Open your eyes and look at these unscrupulous descendants......"
Mrs. Ren glanced at Mrs. Ren, then at Ren Yaoyin, and after thinking about it, she followed Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua first.
Ren Yaoyin silently watched the backs of Ren Yaoqi, Ren Yaohua and the eldest lady disappear into the main room, and only after taking a few deep breaths did she turn around to comfort the old lady Ren, her voice was very soft, but her eyes were extremely indifferent.
When Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua came out of the old lady's room, they found that there was really no one in the courtyard, and even the maids and women guarding the door didn't know where they went, and they felt strange, but they saw the third young grandmother Qi quietly poking her head out from behind a pillar at the gate of the courtyard, waving at them and squeezing her eyebrows, Ren Yaoqi understood that Ren Shimin could not alarm the people inside to stand outside for so long, and listened to their conversation clearly, and it must have nothing to do with Qi.
Ren Yaochi was about to walk over, but heard the eldest lady behind him catching up: "Two aunts and grandmothers, please stay." ”
Qi quickly flashed back to the back of the pillar, hiding himself tightly.
Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua paused, turned to look at the eldest lady who was chasing out quickly.
"Two aunts and grandmothers, old lady she...... Please bear with me, and don't take it to heart. You can come back today. My lord and I are already grateful, and thank you for your willingness to help the Ren family regardless of your past suspicions. The eldest lady said in a sincere tone.
Ren Yaohua tugged at the corners of her mouth: "You're polite." It's a pity that our father is stubborn and doesn't look down on the younger generations who are in a hurry to be concubines. So I'm afraid we won't be able to help Ren Yaoyin. ”
The eldest lady's expression stiffened slightly, but she still said, "Your uncle and I will not tolerate our daughter being a concubine." Assume that you have not heard of it, and forget it. ”
Ren Yaoqi nodded to the eldest lady, "After negotiating with the people of the Yu family, I will send someone back to say it." ”
While sending them out, the eldest lady thanked them repeatedly: "Thank you, Fifth Aunt, this time it is really thanks to you." ”
Compared with Mrs. Ren, the eldest lady is a person who knows the times very well, when Ren Yao was still in the Ren family, although she turned a blind eye to the other party's aunt's bullying of the Li family. But they didn't tear their faces with Li's mother and daughter, and they didn't give them any less share, and everything was left behind.
Ren Yaochi smiled meaningfully: "Don't thank the eldest lady too early, it's not certain whether I can help, I'm afraid that when the matter can't be discussed, I will become a sinner." ”
The eldest lady hurriedly said: "Can you help, the Ren family wants to thank Young Mrs. Xie Lu." Don't worry, young lady, our lord and I both remember your affection. As for the old lady...... I will persuade you more, please rest assured. ”
This time, the eldest lady even changed her name to Ren Yaoqi.
Compared with Mrs. Ren, Ren Yaochi still likes to deal with smarter people like Mrs. Ren. Although she doesn't have a good impression of the eldest lady, the eldest lady at least knows when to show what attitude and what to do.
Speaking of which, the old lady is also old, and most families should enjoy the blessings of her age, otherwise they will worry about the marriage of their grandchildren all day long. ...... of hard work What do you say, big lady? Ren Yaochi said with a smile.
The eldest lady's eyes flashed when she heard this. After being silent for a while, he bowed his head and said, "What the young lady said is right, it was my negligence as a daughter-in-law." Now that the old lady is gone, it's not good for the old lady to be overly sad. It's time for her to recuperate. ”
Ren Yaoqi glanced at the eldest wife, smiled and said no more. She has already said what she needs to say.
The eldest lady personally sent Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua into the carriage, and when the carriage was about to leave, the eldest lady couldn't help but ask, "Young lady." Third Uncle ......"
Ren Yaoqi opened the curtain and said, "My father has already made everything clear before, what else does the eldest lady not understand?" ”
The eldest lady glanced at Ren Yaoqi, and sighed in her heart, knowing that she couldn't save Ren Shimin's house, and she didn't want to make herself disliked, so she immediately said: "I understand, speaking of which, the Ren family did something wrong, and I can't complain that the third uncle is disheartened by his family and unwilling to come back." But let's stop the silver thing, I don't think our lord will be willing to accept the third uncle's silver. ”
Ren Yaochi shook his head: "This is my father's decision, I can't refute it, and we really owe the Ren family for raising using." Since the father wants to give it, the eldest lady should persuade the eldest master to accept it, otherwise he will be even more unhappy. ”
When the eldest lady heard this, she sighed, and then she didn't say anything more, and only turned back after watching Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua's carriage leave.
She originally wanted to go back to the old lady's yard to have a look, but she ran into the third young grandmother Qi on the way, and the eldest lady stopped her steps, stood in place and watched Qi approaching with a different face, and saluted her with low eyebrows.
Qi saluted, but he didn't see the eldest lady make a sound for a long time, so he couldn't help but sneak a glance at her, but he happened to look at the eldest lady's eyes, and couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.
"Mother? Is there something on the daughter-in-law's face? Qi laughed and touched his face.
The eldest lady still looked at her and did not speak.
Qi thought that he might not be so lucky to escape the accusation of the eldest lady this time, and was thinking about whether to simply admit his mistake with his heart, but the eldest lady sighed.
"You think you can hide from everyone for those little moves? Tell me, how did the old lady fall so hard that day? Why did your third uncle and third aunt enter the courtyard without alarming the old lady today? ”
Qi smiled wryly, lowered his head and pulled the corners of his clothes to play, ready to bear the anger of his mother-in-law with a proper attitude.
The eldest lady looked at Qi's eyes a little complicated, and only after half a sound did she shake her head and said a little tiredly: "That's it, I can understand it after so long." Those who seem to be smart are not necessarily people who understand, and those who look stupid may be really smart. Each of you has your own blessings and fate, you ...... Do it yourself. ”
Qi blinked, looking confused.
The eldest lady glanced at her and dropped a sentence, "If you don't want to understand, you don't understand, just if you are a fool, you have a fool's luck!" And he walked away.
Qi Shi watched the back of the eldest lady disappear into the corner door next to her, blinked and showed a somewhat sly smile, and then hummed an out-of-tune song and jumped away, only after walking five or six steps, he remembered that the old lady was still cold, and hurriedly coughed and smiled, and put on a sad face, but the footsteps looked a little brisk.
After Old Lady Ren's funeral, Third Master Ren and the Li family returned to Yunyang City.
Ren Shimin said that he wanted to return the Ren family's silver, he was actually a very serious person at some times, and after he went back, he began to calculate the money in his hand, but although Master Ren has never worried about the silver over the years, he does not have a large amount of spare money on hand. Let the account room calculate all the cash that can be used, at most less than 20,000 taels of silver, which is naturally not enough to pay off the ones he owes to the Ren family.
But for Ren Shimin, there is no reason to take back the words he said, and he was very hesitant to set his eyes on the famous paintings and calligraphy he collected, Master Ren has an excellent eye, no matter what price he buys back, it is rare and genuine.
But these are the lifeblood of Master Ren, and moving them makes him more uncomfortable than moving Master Ren himself, so these days he almost stays in his study and takes out those treasures from time to time, look at this and look at that, looking at life and death, more sad than when his own father Old Lady Ren died.
Then on this day, when Master Ren was sitting at the dinner table and didn't know the taste, Li asked Mama Zhou to take out a small camphor wood box and hand it to Ren Shimin.
Ren Shimin was stunned when he opened it, because there was a whole box of silver tickets in the box, with a large face value of 350,000 yuan, a small face value of 35,000 yuan, and a total of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.
Master Ren, who was never short of money, was also taken aback, and asked Li in a daze: "Where did these come from?" ”
Li pursed his lips and smiled, and said softly: "Some of this silver was handed over to the concubine by the master over the years, and the concubine saved it, and when you take it out, there is a lot of it." There are also tens of thousands of taels that were given to me when my brother came a while ago, saying that he owed the debt and repaid the money back then, and I knew that you had never been waiting to see him, so I didn't mention it to you. But now that the family wants to use silver, the concubine will take it out together. ”
Ren Shimin couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "Have you put away all the money I gave you over the years?" I thought ......"
Ren Shimin paused, but still swallowed his words, he wanted to say that he thought that the Li family had subsidized the money he gave to the Xian Wangfu all these years. He doesn't value money himself, so he keeps turning a blind eye to it, and he thinks it's buying rouge gouache head and face jewelry for his wife and daughter. I didn't expect the Li family to take out the silver?
After thinking about it, Ren Shimin felt that something was wrong again, and frowned: "Wait, when did Li Tianyou owe me money?" ”
Li Shi coughed lightly: "Have you forgotten that he deceived your paintings back then and sold them for silver?" He wanted to apologize to you last time, but he was afraid that you would still dislike him for being cheesy and wouldn't be willing to deal with him. ”
Ren Shimin glanced at the box of silver tickets and muttered, "It's not elegant now." ”
