Chapter 166: Changes in the Tian Family
In addition, along with Mrs. Li, there were Li Zhengshen from the ninth room of the Li family and Zhao Susu, the newlywed mother.
For Mrs. Li and others to come at this time, Zhen Niang was very moved. You know, from here first, let people quickly send a letter to Huizhou, and then come from Huizhou, which is only nine days of work, obviously, the seventh grandmother and her grandfather walked by land, and the trip was still very rushed.
The road from Huizhou is mountainous and banditry, and the hardships and dangers do not need to be detailed, and looking at the disgraced faces of the two old men, you can also understand the hardships.
What's more, since the beginning of spring this year, the health of the seventh grandmother has not been very good.
"Seventh grandmother, grandpa......" Zhenniang's voice was a little choked.
"Okay, girl, don't be a child, hurry up and get some hot water for the seventh grandmother and your grandfather, the seventh grandmother and your grandfather's old arms and legs can't stand it." The seventh old lady patted Zhenniang's forehead, but she said a little jokingly.
"Hmm." Zhenniang nodded heavily, and then ran away to the kitchen, and didn't want the Taoist wife and sister-in-law to do it, she folded firewood to burn the stove by herself, these things, she is also used to doing, and there is no hand.
After a while, the hot water was boiled, and then the seventh grandmother freshened up and fell asleep, the seventh grandmother was a light sleeper, but she was obviously very tired, and she fell into a deep sleep.
Zhenniang helped the seventh grandmother fold the thin quilt, and then came out lightly, but when she got outside, she could hear her father and grandfather talking, which was exactly what he and Luo Wenqian had agreed on in private.
"You're a little cautious, don't forget. I'm still in Huizhou. The thing of Zhenniang. How can your seventh grandmother not consult with me? You have been outside all these years, and your horizons have broadened, why have your eyes become smaller. Old Shopkeeper Li's voice was a little displeased.
As soon as he heard his son's translation, the shopkeeper Li could understand his son's heart, which was to prevent the seventh old lady from falling in love with the Xu family and using Zhenniang as a bargaining chip.
"Dad, you also taught me when I was a child, don't hurt others. The heart of defense is indispensable. Besides, my actions are not entirely to prevent the seventh uncle, but really came from Huizhou, I am afraid that it will be delayed for some time, and I am afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so I will take charge of it, I really didn't expect that you and the seventh uncle would come so quickly. "Li Jingfu has always seen the shopkeeper of Mr. Li like a mouse seeing a cat, and this translation is a little aggrieved.
Of course, when it comes to zuihou, it's also a little surprising, watching the seventh uncle turn over the action. Li Jingfu realized that he was really a villain before, and the old lady of the seventh room put Zhenniang on the tip of her heart.
"You now understand what your seventh uncle did to Zhenniang? In vain for the hearts of villains. But. You are a father, and it is not too wrong to be dedicated to your daughter, so I won't say anything. I think your seventh grandmother can also understand, but in the future, you need to remember that between family members, if there is something, you have to open up and say, prevent this and that, and the family affection will be gone. Old Shopkeeper Li said again.
"Dad, I know, you're tired too, rest for a while." Li Jingfu nodded spontaneously.
Zhenniang originally wanted to go in to see her grandfather, but now she heard the words of her grandfather and father, so it was inconvenient for her to go in.
So he withdrew from the outer room and went to the back yard, where Zhao was talking with Li Zhengshen and Zhao Susu.
Zhao Susu was originally Zhao's niece, and now she has become a nephew and daughter-in-law, which is even closer.
When Zhenniang arrived, Zhao was holding Zhao Susu's hand and asked, "Is the business in Wuyuan good?" When will I return to Wuyuan? ”
"I won't go back for the time being, those mines in Wuyuan, Zhengshen and my father have retreated." Zhao Susu replied to Zhao's words.
"What's going on?" Zhao Shi suddenly heard Su Su's words, and couldn't help but ask Li Zhengshen strangely.
Zhen Niang was also curious, and during the New Year, she also asked her brother, although there are people from the Wuyuan County Lord's side who are shareholder, but the business is still easy to do, how can it change again in just a few months.
"It's not because of the Meizi pit, the Meizi pit is in the mountain stream under the stream, and it is extremely difficult to open the pit. But because we tried it ourselves, it was too dangerous, so after that, we didn't open the eyebrow pit again, and we have been opening the Venus pit and the other two small pits. But since the county grandfather's wife and uncle have joined the shares, they have not been restrained in opening pits, and in the second half of last year, two small pits were abolished, and there has been no good material for the Venus pit recently. So, as soon as the spring of this year began, the county grandfather's wife and uncle made the idea of eyebrow pits. You know, if you dig a pit under a mountain stream, if the groundwater gushes, you will drown, and you can't say that you will drown, so how can you start construction at will without perfect preparation? Therefore, Su Su and her father and I resolutely disagreed, but the county grandfather's wife and uncle became angry, zuihou didn't know where he learned that I had been a Taoist priest, so he threatened me, if he didn't agree, he would report me to the county government for being a Taoist priest......" Li Zhengshen said with some indignation.
"This is really good for no reason, how long has it been a matter of time, why are you still being investigated?" On the side, Zhao raised his eyebrows.
"Generally speaking, who will be held accountable for this matter that has been going on for so long, but if someone sues, then the people in the yamen will also be investigated, businessmen like us, the county lord would like to have more such things, we have to be guilty, so that we can't fortify the silver, now our original county parents Lord Wei has been transferred, and a new one surnamed Ji has been transferred, and the heart doesn't know how dark it is, Tian Benchang's guy is still in prison because of the matter with Yunsong Daochang, and because of this, I discussed it with my father-in-law, It's really unpleasant to cooperate in this matter, so just quit it all, and we won't get involved. Li Zhengshen said again.
"If that's the case, it's better to quit." Zhao nodded hurriedly.
Zhen Niang also nodded, she remembered the record about the Meizi pit, it seemed that the first time the pit was opened, there were more goods, and then there was nothing, and now it is nothing to give up.
However, listening to his cousin's words, Tian Benchang was arrested? Zhenniang has been curious, this is summer in a blink of an eye, but this year, Tian Mo's side has always been taken care of by the Fang steward, and the brothers and sisters of the Tian family have not come, and they used to be because of Mrs. Tian's death to keep the system, but now listening to her cousin's words, it doesn't seem to be the case.
So he asked, "Cousin, what happened to the Tian family?" ”
"It's not a brotherly rivalry yet...... Li Zhengshen shook his head.
After the death of Mrs. Tian, Tian Benchang's life was not easy, and the old man Tian was now partial to the concubine called Chunzhi, and Tian Er's guy hated Tian Benchang for driving him back from Nanjing without regard for face, of course, what he hated was not just this one thing, freezing three feet was not a day's cold.
In this way, Tian Er relied on the pillow wind with spring branches, and began to attack Tian Dagongzi, first on the grounds that Mrs. Tian passed away and Tian Benchang wanted to abide by the system, and he took back the right of Tian Benchang to manage the ink workshop.
Tian Benchang disagreed, his mother died, and his father saw that he was becoming less and less valued by him, if he handed over the ink workshop again, then he would be completely marginalized in this family.
Therefore, he refused to hand over the control of the ink shop on the grounds that the business of the ink shop had its own specific operations, and he only had to grasp the general direction and would not affect the system.
And although Master Tian was confused, he also knew that the eldest son was much more capable than the second son, so Tian Er was not happy in this matter.
In this way, how can Tian Er take a break, he and Tian Benchang have torn their faces apart, and they want to fight to the end, so they can't make a plan and make a plan, and they actually secretly let people sue Tian Benchang for embezzling the imperial court's ink making money in partnership with Yunsong Daochang.
Is there such a thing? Yes, but it was not Tian Benchang's doing, but the agreement between Master Tian and Daoist Yunsong.
Speaking of which, we have to start with the "immortal evaluation" used by the Tian family to choose Gongmo.
Back then, the old man Tian asked the head of Yunsong Dao to make a fairy assessment, and Zuihou forcibly took the right to pay tribute to ink from the Cheng family, but this was not without a price, in addition to the honorarium paid to the head of Yunsong at that time, he also promised to help the head of Yunsong make a batch of Daomo.
And because of this batch of Dao Mo, the Tian family still risked requisitioning the batch of hundred-year-old pines that Li Jiuye of the Li family exchanged for his life.
Of course, this batch of Dao Mo was paid by the imperial court, but it was used by Daoist Yunsong for personal use.
And if Daoist Yunsong was still in the first place, then no one would dare to find out about it, but now, as soon as Emperor Longqing came to power, he took him under the knife.
So in this way, what Tian Er told immediately attracted the attention of the county order that quarter, and immediately sent someone to take down Tian Benchang.
In fact, Tian Er's lawsuit was not Tian Benchang, but Old Man Tian. After all, the original agreement with Yunsong Daochang was made by Master Tian, but the problem is that Tian Er planted this matter on Tian Benchang's head from the beginning, and Tian Benchang was not wronged, although it was not him who agreed with Yunsong Daoist at the beginning, but the Li family was recruited for a hundred years, and it was indeed him who traded with Yunsong Daochang, and the other Tian Benchang could not argue, if he argued, it would be a countersue to Old Man Tian, that would be a great rebellion and unfilial piety.
In this way, this pit field was planted.
"When we came, Tian Benchang was still in prison, Sun Yuejuan was helping him run, and the whole box of silver was smashed into a lot, and I don't know the result." Li Zheng said.
"It's also self-inflicted, you can't live, back then, their means of fighting for that tribute ink were not on the table, and now it's just a dog-eat-dog, and they deserve it." The Zhao family didn't have a good impression of the Tian family, but this time it sounded very relieved.
In Zhenniang's opinion, Tian Benchang is not wronged, but it is quite miserable to be rectified by his own family to this point.
