Chapter XXXIII
The matter was resolved in a bizarre way.
Yesterday I was in a deep despair, and today, I feel that I will be awakened by laughter when I dream.
In the past two days, the feeling for her is simply a two-day experience, Siyu can't help but sigh, life, ups and downs, it's nothing more than that.
But what made her wonder was whether the money had been left by the mysterious man, and if so, where had he gotten it.
Suddenly one thing came to mind, that is, the city gate is still posted, and the person is wanted.
The bulletin said that the thief had stolen the silver.
Thinking of this, she shuddered a little, she wondered, could this silver be treasury silver.
Siyu grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he has only been to Changshan at the farthest, so he really doesn't know what the difference between the treasury silver and the silver taels he usually wheels.
She was very worried that this secret would be discovered by others, and in that case, she was afraid that her family would be wiped out.
Stealing silver sounds like a terrible sin.
Thinking of this, she was busy confusing with her mother and brother.
"I think this matter is too strange, yes, as the old saying goes, horses have no night grass and no fat, but there is another sentence below, that is, foreign wealth is not rich and poor, mother, I am really a little worried, I am afraid that we really can't bear such blessings."
After hearing this, Chen's mother also had a solemn look on her face, and thought about it carefully, her daughter's words were indeed true.
This money is indeed too strange, even if the mysterious man left this large fortune in order to repay the favor, but who knows if this silver will have something to do with the discarded treasury silver?
She could almost completely conclude that this was the treasury silver.
However, Chen's mother seemed to have some insight, and she hurriedly rummaged through the cloth bags, checked the silver ingots one by one, and then looked at them carefully.
Siyu didn't understand what she was looking at, but her mother finally relaxed after looking at it for a long time.
She said to Siyu with a relaxed face: "Girl, it's okay, if it's treasury silver, there will definitely be a mark on the back of this silver ingot that will indicate who cast it, and which official office it came from, and even the time, it will be engraved clearly."
When Siyu heard her mother say this, she was shocked.
She couldn't figure it out, how could her mother know this?
But her mother's next words surprised her even more.
"According to my Ming practice, the treasury silver regulation must exceed thirty taels or more, but if you look at these silver ingots, there is no mark on the back, and I can be completely sure that this is not treasury silver."
When Chen's mother said this, she didn't notice Siyu's expression next to her, until she found that her daughter and son were looking at her with strange and surprised eyes.
"Mother, how the hell do you know this?"
Siyu is a little strange about her mother, but I'm afraid it's the same as herself.
In her memory, the farthest she has only been to Changshan, and most of the people she usually interacts with are Zhuang families.
Not to mention thirty taels of treasury silver, even more than five taels of silver, you may not have seen it all year round.
Mother Chen listened to Siyu's question, her expression froze, and she hurriedly pulled up other words and prevaricated.
"I'm afraid it's a sum of silver abandoned here by the man in white, but I expect that there is so much silver, he can't take it all for a while, let's save it for him first, I moved the 10,000 taels of silver yesterday, it's really a last resort, if he comes to get this silver, we will tell the truth, and we will pay him back this silver in the future!"
Siyu saw that her mother didn't answer positively, so it was inconvenient to ask more, and when she heard her mother say this, she also felt that it made sense, so she nodded.
Mother Chen was very pleased to see that she was very well-behaved, and continued: "It's better not to touch this silver, because after all, this is someone else's, no matter what he has done?" This money must not have come so easily. ”
Siyu thought about it and felt that what her mother said was very reasonable, and this money came inexplicably.
If his family uses this money to repair the courtyard wall, buy clothes, and rebuild the house, I am afraid that it will not take long and will attract the attention of others.
Many neighbors on the long street were even more surprised, after all, they used to be so poor, and suddenly, they became so rich.
How can you not make people feel strange in their hearts and arouse the suspicion of others.
In that case, I am afraid that people from the government will come to visit and ask themselves, after all, this has just lost the treasury silver, and it has not been a long time, if the people from the government come to inquire about themselves, then what should they say?
I'm afraid that if I can't ask a few words, I will be taken away, and maybe I will have a lawsuit.
Thinking of this, Siyu and Chen's mother decided to bury the silver in a vacant lot in the backyard on a dark and windy night.
I am afraid that people will notice that it is covered with mud and some grass, and I try not to make any traces.
Siyu thought to himself, if the man in white came, he would return the silver to him, and as for the 10,000 taels of silver, it was only a temporary emergency.
At that time, Dean Fan sent over 20,000 taels of silver, and it was not too late for her to transfer it from it and return it to him.
But Siyu and Cheng's mother, when they made such a decision, and when they did these things.
They didn't notice that there was a pair of complicated eyes looking at them behind them, and the owner of this gaze was none other than Chen Yunzhi, Siyu's own brother.
Siyu's younger brother Chen Yunzhi didn't understand how he couldn't understand why his mother and sister did this.
That's white money.
What does that mean?
That means he can put on new clothes, he can improve his family's life, and he will never have to live in such a dilapidated house again.
He could have taken out a few ingots of silver from it, bought a good mansion, and moved out of here early.
If my sister and mother are afraid of the gossip of these neighbors, they can go elsewhere and buy a home.
Find a place where no one knows them, and live in peace, why be so careful?
It's a pity that this family is called by Chen's mother and Siyu after all, plus he has done such embarrassing things, and in this family, he has no right to speak.
So she had to stare at her mother and sister with a kind of pity behind her back, and quietly buried the silver in the backyard, but he had already remembered the location.
There is a way to be money, but it is actually a kind of disaster.
Once used well, it will increase the blessing and longevity of your family and bring blessings.
If it is not used well, I am afraid that it will be brothers who turn against each other, and it is very likely that the family will become strangers.
At the moment, Chen Mu and Siyu did not notice the change in Chen Yun's value, but they felt that since the events of that day, he had become more and more silent.
Siyu thought that his younger brother was still ashamed to sell his sister to the Zuo family as a concubine easily.
She tried her best to reassure her brother.
"Yoon-sik, everything has passed, my sister still wants you to look forward, and my mother and I still want you to pick up the books and read them well."
Siyu still wants his younger brother to take the road of studying, after all, everything is inferior, only reading is high.
It's a pity that Chen Yunzhi wants to say a word to his sister Siyu, sister, I don't think I'm really the material for reading.
But when he saw his sister looking at him with an earnest gaze, he could no longer speak.
"Brother, Fenglong Academy, I can't go, but you can still go, the dean's place, relying on this relationship, will definitely take more care of you, maybe I will send you a few more gentlemen to tutor you, when the time comes, you can also take the exam, maybe you can also participate in the exam, this is all something that will not be accurate in the future!"
Chen Yunzhi laughed self-deprecating when he heard this: "Sister, you really think too highly of me, I don't think I have that life at all!"
As soon as the words came out, he saw his sister, and a trace of sadness slowly emerged in the depths of Siyu's eyes.
In his heart, he immediately felt guilty.
At that moment, he felt that the most he brought to his sister and mother in this home was anxiety and uneasiness.
He didn't want to go on like this anymore, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Sister, I will work hard, please you and your mother, don't worry."
It was only at this time that Siyu's face softened a little, and his eyes widened. And the color of joy appeared.
"That's right, who said you don't have that life, you look at the events of the past two days, you can think that the day before yesterday, our family was about to despair, and we were about to face the separation of flesh and blood, and the next day, it would disappear immediately, thinking that this is our mother, who accumulated virtue and did good deeds in her previous life, and cultivated the blessings, otherwise, how could this matter be so coincidental?"
When Siyu said this, he didn't notice that his younger brother was gone, he didn't think about studying, but thinking about the money, how to arrange it?
It's a pity that Siyu didn't notice his younger brother and didn't listen to his words carefully, he just felt that he was just perfunctory.
But Siyu didn't care, he felt that his younger brother was still young, and he was still a little playful, presumably after going to the academy, Dean Fan would control him, and he would take care of it.
It's a pity that Siyu thinks like this, but his younger brother thinks in the opposite direction completely.
But she didn't notice it yet.
Two days later, the first session of the examination in Beijing has passed, and Fenglong Academy also has people who have gone to participate in the examination this year.
However, according to the news they sent back, the questions that will be tested this year are extremely difficult, and the students who went to Fenglong Academy this year performed quite normally.
Almost all of them were handed in!
Yes, I really just sat there in the Gongyuan, picked up the pen, and wanted to cry without tears, because the interception problem faced this year has become a nightmare for almost every Confucian student.
There's no way to solve the problem!
The first half of this truncated question is a gentleman's disobedience, from the first half of the Analects, and the second half of the sentence is from Mencius, with all his heart.
This interception question is difficult for all students, no matter how to solve the problem, break it in the way, break it in reverse, and break it from it, you can't get the point.
