After Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Andong read Zhao Anren's letter, the mother and son also hugged and cried, and Zhao Anli next to him also snatched the letter and read it, although he was young at the beginning and didn't have much impression of this third brother, but after all, he was a brother, so he was also excited at this time.

Sanniang's mother and daughter next to her were also wiping their tears, Sanniang was young, although she knew that she had a third uncle, but she had never seen it, and her parents never allowed her to ask her grandmother about the third uncle, so when she heard the news of the third uncle, she also felt a little strange, but when she saw her grandmother and father crying so sadly, she couldn't help but shed tears.

In the end, under the persuasion of Sanniang's mother and daughter, the three old ladies of Zhao finally stopped their tears, and then they carefully inquired about Zhao Anren's situation in Liao, Li Zhang had made up some half-truths and half-truths, for example, Zhao Anren is living a good life now, although he is a nobleman in Liao, but he is better than ordinary nobles in terms of food and clothing.

At the end, Li Zhang also took out a box of silver tickets that Zhao Anren entrusted him to bring and pushed it in front of Mrs. Zhao and said, "Aunt Zhao, this is some money that Brother Anren entrusted me to bring to the family, I hope I can help you improve your family." ”

"Even if it's An Ren's heart, then the old body is not welcome, it's just that he is alone in Liaoguo, I'm afraid there are many places to use money, right?" Mrs. Zhao asked while wiping her tears at this time, and at the same time motioned for Zhao Andong to accept the box, after all, the family needs money, and it is the son's filial piety, so she naturally does not have to be polite.

"Auntie, don't worry, the Liao nobleman behind Brother An Ren has a very high status, and I also met Brother An Ren in that nobleman's mansion, he usually lives a superior life, and he doesn't need any money at all." Li Zhang smiled again at this time.

"Money! So much! At this moment, Zhao Andong next to him opened the box, and when he saw the thick stack of banknotes inside, he couldn't help but scream in shock, because these banknotes were all of a hundred yuan face value, you must know that their family has worked hard for so many years, and all the family property together is only about 100 yuan.

Hearing her son shouting so much, Mrs. Zhao also glared at him with some dissatisfaction, but Zhao Andong immediately sent the box to his mother, but Mrs. Zhao was also startled when she saw so much money, and after a while, she looked at Li Zhang with some suspicion and said, "Little Brother Li, are you sure this is the money that An Ren gave to the family?" ”

It's no wonder that Mrs. Zhao is suspicious, because Li Zhang only said that Zhao Anren is a steward, but even if he is in charge, he is also a servant of others, how can a servant take out so much money at once? Even Mrs. Zhao doubted whether Li Zhang had a request for Zhao Anren, so she took out so much money for him and gave it to his family, so that Zhao Anren could accept a favor from him?

"Aunt Zhao doesn't have to doubt it, this is Brother Anren's own money, don't look at him as just a steward, but he is quite appreciated by that nobleman and has received many rewards, so this money is really nothing, and Brother Anren's letter should mention these money, right?" Li Zhang also saw Old Lady Zhao's suspicions, and explained with a smile at the moment.

"An Ren did say in the letter that he brought some property to his family, but he didn't expect it to be so much, I'm not afraid of Brother Li's jokes, our family's property together is only worth this thin piece of money." Mrs. Zhao was also a little embarrassed at this time, but her son was able to take out such money at once, and she was relieved again, which showed that Zhao Anren's life in Liao was indeed good.

Later, Mrs. Zhao asked a lot about Zhao Anren, Li Zhang said everything he could say, and what he couldn't say was on the pretext that he had known Zhao Anren for too short a time, so he didn't know it for a long time, so he didn't know it, of course, sometimes he really couldn't answer, after all, he and Zhao Anren hadn't met a few times in total.

However, chatting and chatting, Li Zhang keenly noticed that Mrs. Zhao's expression was a little wrong, and the questions asked became more and more difficult to answer, which made Li Zhang's heart sink, and then saw Mrs. Zhao suddenly sigh, and then said to Zhao Andong and them: "You go out first, I have a few words I want to talk to Brother Li alone!" ”

Zhao Andong and the others were also very obedient, and immediately said goodbye to Li Zhang and left, and soon there were two people left in the room, Li Zhang and Mrs. Zhao, and then I saw Mrs. Zhao looking at Li Zhang very seriously and said: "Little Brother Li, can you tell me the truth, what is An Ren doing in Liaoguo?" ”

"Why did Aunt Zhao say that, didn't I just introduce Brother An Ren's situation?" Although Li Zhang was apprehensive at this time, he still forced a smile and said.

However, Mrs. Zhao is not so easy to fool, I saw that she sighed gloomily at this time and said: "Little Brother Li, don't lie to me, although I am old, my eyes and ears are not good, but I am not confused, I think I was also a person from Tokyo at the beginning, and I have seen some of the world, even if it is the steward of our Great Song Dynasty's family, I am afraid it will be difficult to come up with so much money at once, not to mention that Liaoguo is poorer than our Great Song Dynasty, Anren is a small steward, where did he get so much money?" ”

"This ......" Li Zhang also smiled bitterly when he heard this, he almost forgot that Mrs. Zhao was also from Tokyo, and his father was still a Xiucai, although he was not a rich family, but he should have heard of some things, the steward of the aristocratic family in the entire Tokyo City, no matter how greedy he was, I am afraid that he would rarely take out so much money at once.

Seeing Li Zhang's hesitation, I saw Mrs. Zhao speak again: "Just now I asked Anren three times if he was married and had any children, but he was all diverted from the topic by you, Little Brother Li, and there are some other questions, you are also vague and unwilling to say more, plus I think Little Brother Li has an extraordinary bearing, definitely not like a businessman, but like an official of the Great Song Dynasty, if An Ren is really just a little steward, how can you know each other?" ”

Mrs. Zhao's questions were one after another, these were the loopholes in Li Zhang's words, although they were not so obvious, but they were still caught by her, which made Li Zhang not know how to answer for a while?

Seeing Li Zhang's hesitation, this also made Mrs. Zhao affirm the suspicion in her heart, so she sat up straight and continued to speak: "Little Brother Li, you can tell me in detail about Anren, I have seen all the ups and downs in my life, my young family was changed, I went away to marry here, I lost my husband and children in middle age, and I shouldered the burden of the family alone, it can be said that I have suffered all the hardships in this life, so you can say that the old woman can bear it!" ”
