Shi Nai's mother saw that Jia's mother agreed, so she put her mind at ease, and now sent Shi Xiangyun to Rongguo's mansion, although she meant to be a hostage, but more importantly, she threw a burden to Rongguofu, this is Xiangyun, but not a good stubble, although she is strong in the Baolinghou Mansion, her aunt has not been late in the work arranged for Shi Xiangyun, but she is also sharp-tongued, and she has made her aunt speechless several times.

Now that Shi Xiangyun has arrived at Rongguo Mansion, this matter will be handled by themselves, anyway, Shi Xiangyun is already a person from Rongguo Mansion, let alone a few years, even if they are given two round houses now, it is nothing.

While they were talking there, Jia Lian sat on the side and looked at Shi Nai, needless to say, the envy in his eyes.

Shi Nai has not had any contact with their Jia family for many years, and now he just came back and begged the old lady to get the fat difference of Yangzhou Prefect, but he can only do chores in Rongguo Mansion, how can this person be so much worse than others?

So Jia Lian moved his mind, thinking about how to beg the old lady to get him an official to do it, otherwise he would be abolished after doing these chores at home every day.

However, this matter is a little difficult to handle, since Aunt Zhang's accident, the relationship between his eldest brother Jia Ke and him has been a little weak, and it has only been a face-to-face relationship for so many years, and he has not had an in-depth relationship again, I don't know if I can help myself with this matter.

Not to mention that Jia Lian was there, she felt sorry for herself, and besides, Jia's mother sat on it and looked at Shi Nai, and said with emotion: "Since your father is gone, no one in our Shi family has come out to be an official." You have to do a good job this time, don't embarrass your eldest brother. Otherwise, he will not be able to speak for you again in the future. ”

Shi Nai nodded and knew that what Jia Mu said was the truth, this time he was in Yangzhou, if he didn't do well, no matter how powerful Jia Ke was, he could only transfer him to another place, otherwise the public opinion in the world would be very unfavorable to Jia Ke.

Although Shi Nai wants to make a good fortune in Yangzhou, he also has some ambitions. I think that I will go to Yangzhou this time to make some achievements, and I will be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future. I think that their historian was an official to the captain back then, but now they are nested in the Hou Mansion and no one pays attention to it.

"I have written down everything the old lady said, and this time I will definitely be loyal to the king, and I will not embarrass my eldest brother."

"You know what to expect, and I'm relieved. You have to write another post to send it over to Xiangyun, otherwise it will be difficult for me to handle it at that time. ”

Mother Jia still thought that she wanted to send Xiangyun to Rongguo Mansion, so she had to finish the matter, after all, she was not Xiangyun's direct elder at that time, and she had no right to deal with Shi Xiangyun's marriage.

After hearing this, Shi Nai knew that Jia's mother meant that she was afraid that there would be no paperwork, and a lady like Shi Xiangyun would marry someone else as a concubine, which would make people think that Rongguofu was forced to persecute her.

"What the old lady said is, this is my negligence, I will write the document after I go back, and when the time comes, we will leave a bottom in the official mansion as a certificate, so that Xiangyun will not be anything if he does Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Mu smiled now, and then said: "I didn't worry about these things, but after all, this is related to the reputation of the eldest brother." I'll have to ask again. ”

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, who were standing next to them, only now understood Shi Nai's purpose of Daorong Guofu this time. Shi Nai's plan is to send Shi Xiangyun to Rongguo Mansion to live permanently, and it seems that he will give Jia Ke a round house after a while.

After Shi Nai's mother saw Jia's mother, he said some common things to Jia's mother, then said goodbye, and planned to come to Rongguo Mansion to visit Jia Zheng and Jia Ke in a few days, and send Shi Xiangyun by the way.

Jia's mother didn't keep him, after all, he was about to go to other places to take up his post, and he was very busy at home.

After Shi Nai returned to the Bowling Mansion, Zhang was already waiting for him in the lobby.

"How's it going, sir? What did my aunt say this time? The Zhang family is now also beginning to be affectionate with Jia's mother.

"What else can I say, my aunt naturally told us to go to the post, we must be loyal to the king, and at the same time, when handing over, we must carefully take stock of the money and grain warehouse, and don't give others a top tank if something happens." Shi Nai didn't hide it, and told Zhang's family what Jia's mother had explained.

"It's still my aunt, if it were someone else, where would I say these things to you." Zhang said happily.

"I'll write a marriage letter in a while, you send someone to Rongguo Mansion, let their master in charge of the house see it, and then the government will prepare a case, and I will send Xiangyun to Rongguo Mansion in a few days, and then we can go on the road."

Shi Nai began to explain the events of the past few days, to be honest, now that Shi Nai's mind has flown to Yangzhou, he doesn't want to stay in the capital for a moment, and he can't wait to leave immediately.

Zhang is also thinking the same way, she has long wanted to enjoy the life of an official wife who is surrounded before and after, and there are constantly compliments.

Zhang agreed and went to the back house with a smile, she wanted to tell Shi Xiangyun the news immediately, and let her also make preparations, after all, she was going to live in Rongguo Mansion for a long time, and I was afraid that she would never be able to return to Baolinghou Mansion in the future, so she had to prepare something for her.

Those things were left by Shi Xiangyun's parents in the past, a large part of which was Shi Xiangyun's mother's dowry, as well as some antiques, calligraphy and paintings left by her father. As for the money, it is naturally from the Bowling Mansion.

Zhang wanted to go back to his room and took out a wooden box from the bottom of the box, and there was a list of Shi Xiangyun's mother's dowry in the box.

The things on this list were all properly placed in the warehouse, and she was afraid that Chi Xiangyun would not be able to get married and let people leave a handle.

Zhang took the list and ordered his personal maid to get the key with the housekeeper, and then went to the warehouse to count things.

Zhang took four or five maids and his mother-in-law to a remote warehouse, where the steward of the warehouse had been waiting for a long time.

"Madam, the little one has been waiting here for a long time, Madame wants to enter the warehouse, she has to find something." The steward asked a little apprehensively, because the Zhang family had never entered this warehouse, and this time he had found some clues.

"It's nothing, open the No. 7 warehouse for me, I want to go in and count Xiangyun's mother's dowry, but there is any shortage." Zhang didn't think about anything else, and directly told the steward what he meant.

As soon as the steward heard this, his head began to skip a beat. If it was something else, he didn't care, but a lot of Shi Xiangyun's mother's dowry was secretly sold by him. Originally, he didn't want to do this kind of thing, but how could there be a person in charge of the treasury, and he didn't like the things in the warehouse.

The housekeeper thought that Shi Xiangyun's mother's things had been put for a long time, and his wife probably wouldn't be worried about it, but he didn't expect that he would have to count it now, and it would not be good for his family if it came out.

After thinking about it, the housekeeper felt that it was better to admit it, otherwise the Zhang family would find out after a while, and I am afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat.

Thinking of this, the housekeeper immediately knelt down in front of Zhang's with a thud, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

Zhang was taken aback by his appearance, what was wrong with this housekeeper, he hadn't found it before.

"What's wrong with you, just say anything directly, you've been in our family for a few lifetimes, what else can I do with you?" Zhang took a few steps back, and the mother-in-law beside him had already come to Zhang's relatives and separated her from the housekeeper.

"Madam, it was my lard that blinded my heart and became greedy, and I sold a lot of those things." The housekeeper knelt in front of Zhang's and sobbed as he told Zhang's 1510 what had happened.

It turned out that it had been difficult in the Bowling Marquis Mansion over the years, and he, the housekeeper, had no oil and water. Because of this, the housekeeper had a different heart, wanting to make a fortune in the mansion of the Marquis of Baoling, and then return to the countryside to become a rich man.

After hearing the words of the steward, Zhang was so angry that he almost fainted. She has trusted this steward over the years, and she has also seen that their family has been a servant of the Bowling Marquis for several lifetimes, thinking that he is loyal and reliable, but she knows that something will happen in the end.

The Zhang family didn't care about anything else at this time, and was the color of the mothers-in-law next to him. Someone rushed out, and after a while, they came in with a few little guys.

Zhang's commanded, "Tie up this slave who betrays the master to me." I'll come out of the vault in a moment and I'll settle accounts with you. ”

After Zhang finished speaking, he ordered someone to search for the key from him and open the storeroom. They took three steps and two steps to the vicinity of Shi Xiangyun's mother's dowry.

I saw that these things were neat and tidy on the surface, and there was no damage, but after listening to the housekeeper's words just now, I knew that I was afraid that they had been turned upside down by him.

Zhang waved his hand behind him, and several housekeepers and mothers-in-law immediately stepped forward and began to count according to the list given by Zhang.

Shi Xiangyun's mother's dowry was not very much, and it only took an hour to count it.

A housekeeper came to Zhang's front and said tremblingly, "Madam, it's all counted." ”

"How? How much is it short? ”

"If you go back to Madame, more than half of the things on the list are missing, and most of them are gold and silver jewelry that is easy to get rid of." Regardless of what the mother-in-law said after speaking, she sent another counted list to Zhang's face.

Zhang's splitter snatched the list, and then took the previous dowry list and compared it carefully, otherwise it would be the same as what the housekeeper's mother-in-law said, more than half of the things were missing.

Zhang's eyes were red with anger, these things were the things that the Bowling Marquis Mansion did not touch when it was difficult. I just wanted to leave these things for Shi Xiangyun, and let the world see it when she got married in the future, and her aunt did not treat this niece badly.

Zhang came to the courtyard, looked at the housekeeper and said, "Okay, you dog slave, Xiangyun's dowry, even I don't dare to touch it, you dare to steal it out and sell it, your life seems to be short." ”

After Zhang finished speaking, he immediately ordered his personal mother, "You take someone to copy his house for me, and all the things will be sent to my yard after the inventory is completed." ”

The housekeeper lowered her head and promised to leave.

"Wait a minute." Zhang stopped the housekeeper.

The housekeeper hurriedly retreated, and then bowed over there to listen to Zhang's orders.

"Tell me, this time I will raid the house, and if there is a little less of something, you will die with this housekeeper." Zhang said fiercely.

The housekeeper's wife was already frightened by Zhang's appearance, and immediately knelt on the ground after hearing her words and said, "Madame, don't worry, the old slave has the courage to do it, and he doesn't dare to touch the things in it." ”

Zhang glared at the housekeeper fiercely for a while, and then let her go.
