Chapter 261: Complaint
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, six days after Shen Mingjun returned to Ninghua County with his wife and children, the family finally set off to return to the capital city of Tingzhou.
The day before, Yang Wenzhao was taken away by Uncle Sun, a servant of the Yang family, and followed his parents back to the capital city of Tingzhou.
Yang Ling and his wife came on the same road as Shen Mingjun and his wife, but they did not go back together. Shen Xi guessed that Yang Ling and his wife went back a day earlier, and they also wanted to be prepared, and after the official government announced it after the year, they would go to sue Hui Niang and the Zhou family to take back the Yang family's property.
Although Shen Mingjun and his wife went back to Shen's house to make a little unpleasant, Li seemed to be very forgetful, and when he left, Li smiled on his face, and personally took the family out of the door, and Shen Yongzhuo, who had not shown up much for a few days, also appeared in the crowd to see him off.
In the first year, after Shen Yongzhuo returned to Ninghua, he suddenly learned that Shen Xifu had won the case, and he was very disappointed.
As the eldest brother of the third generation of the Shen family, he originally thought that he could set an example for his brothers and sisters, but in the end, not only did he fail the government test, but even the marriage of Miss Lu was postponed by the Lu family.
The meaning of the Lu family is that they can't disturb Shen Yongzhuo's fame, so they want to postpone the marriage for a year, but they actually want to see if Shen Yongzhuo can successfully pass the government examination the next year.
But under the pressure of public opinion, the Lu family did not dare to withdraw from the marriage lightly, and although Shen Yongzhuo was not angry, he was finally motivated among young students, and Shen Xi estimated that no matter whether Shen Yongzhuo could pass this year's government examination or not, his marriage with Miss Lu would be held.
After all, Shen Yongzhuo's boss is not small, and Miss Lu can't drag it out.
If things are messed up, the Lu family will be discredited, and it will be even more difficult for the Lu family to marry their daughter to a good family.
Song Xiaocheng is high-spirited.
In just a few days after returning to Ninghua, he not only completed the proposal, but even completed the marriage. Originally, Song Xiaocheng wanted to invite the Shen family to come over as a witness to the marriage, but I heard that something happened to the Shen family. He didn't dare to mention it. But after returning to Fucheng, he still had to invite Xie Media's banquet, and when the time came, he would not only invite Shen Mingjun's family. He will also invite Hui Niang and his brothers from the chariot and horse gang to hold a feast.
"Little shopkeeper. You okay? ”
Song Xiaocheng took advantage of the fact that the Shen family was still saying goodbye, called Shen Xi to the side, and asked with a smile.
Shen Xi glanced at him and said, "What does the sixth brother want?" ”
Song Xiaocheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Little shopkeeper, don't get me wrong, I just care about your family affairs." Su Lian said, I don't want to thank anyone, but I want to thank our little shopkeeper and wait until I return to the city. Can the little shopkeeper help ......?"
It turned out that Song Xiaocheng had something to ask for.
What Song Xiaocheng said was the question of where he would live in the future.
Although Song Xiaocheng is also a little capable now, with the little salary he earns, it is too difficult to buy a place to live in Fucheng, but if he rents a place to live, the monthly expenses are not old and young, although the wages of the two are completely bearable, but in the end there is some heartache. In the past, he could live in a group dormitory separately from Su Lian, but now that he is married to Su Lian, it is a bit unreasonable to live in the dormitory.
Song Xiaocheng's meaning. I wanted Shen Xi to help discuss with Shen Mingjun and his wife, so that he could live in the original courtyard of the Shen family, that is, the small courtyard in the back alley of the pharmacy.
Shen Xi said: "Why didn't the sixth brother tell my father and mother in person?" ”
Song Xiaocheng said with a bitter face: "Didn't you hear that something happened to your family?" Su Lian gave a special explanation. I can't disturb Brother Shen and Mrs. Shen, so the little shopkeeper can help talk to the big shopkeeper about this matter. ”
As soon as he got married, Song Xiaocheng had a long lotus and a short lotus, Shen Xi smiled secretly, and nodded in agreement: "Then I'll go back to Fucheng and talk to Aunt Sun in private." ”
Song Xiaocheng has a smart energy, he has been with Shen Xi for a long time, and he has been instructed by Shen Xi to do some "big things", he has seen it very thoroughly. Shen Xi is Hui Niang's think tank, where Hui Niang is. Shen Xi spoke better than anyone else, which was why he skipped Shen Mingjun and his wife and came directly to Shen Xi.
……
……
The group set off for three days. On the evening of the eleventh day of the first lunar month, we arrived at the capital city of Tingzhou.
The first thing he did when he returned to Fucheng, Zhou went to Huiniang to cry, and in order not to let Shen Mingjun know, Zhou asked her husband to go to the printing workshop earlier to help.
“…… Sister, you say, is it fair for his family to treat me like this? ”
Zhou rarely has a weak time, but in this matter, she feels very wronged. Even the person next to the pillow can't tell her honestly, only Hui Niang can understand her hardships.
Hui Niang sighed lightly: "When my sister chose to hide it from her family, didn't she expect this result? But I don't know where the Yang family knew about my sister? ”
Shen Xi ate a snack and said, "I think, it should be that the accounts of the silver number are known to outsiders." ”
Zhou glanced at Shen Xi, although she was fierce to Shen Xi on weekdays, she had no secrets about her son. Yang Shen scolded her that day, if it wasn't for Shen Xi, she really didn't know how to respond.
Hui Niang slapped her thigh and said suddenly: "You see my sister's negligence, how can you forget this stubble?" I thought that only the internal shareholders could see the accounts of the silver number, and they were not known to outsiders, so I recorded my sister's part...... It's not my sister's. My sister will revise the accounts later, and the same thing will not happen again. ”
Zhou sighed: "I can't blame my sister for this, if you want to blame the old lady's partiality." If she hadn't taken back her father-in-law's tea shop, and it ended up going out of business, would I have hidden it from her? But that's fine, since you don't admit it, then simply hide it to the end. It's a big deal, I don't want all that silver, leave it to my sister to do business, as long as my sister remembers us in the future, we can eat. ”
Hui Niang was anxious when she heard this: "Where is this?" It's supposed to be my sister's, and my sister won't ask for a penny. ”
Saying that, Hui Niang glanced at Shen Xi and added, "If it weren't for my sister knowing my sister's family, my sister's pharmacy would be gone, and now I'm still wandering with Xi'er." As long as my sister doesn't want to say it, it's all put in my sister's place, and my sister is desperate to keep her sister's money. ”
Sisterhood is deep......
Shen Xi watched from the side, thinking that it was no wonder that there were all kinds of rumors outside, the relationship between Hui Niang and the Zhou family was simply extraordinary.
Ordinary women, seeing the widow can't hide, infected with bad luck Kefu Yun on the body, not to mention, it is easy to make their own husband think more when they get closer, but the Zhou family treats people with hearts, and Hui Niang is grateful for the picture, the two women are like a relationship formed in the previous life.
Shen Xi thought, could it be that Lao Niang and Hui Niang were husband and wife in their last life, and God was envious and jealous, and deliberately made them reincarnate in the wrong life in this life?
……
……
On the thirteenth day of the first month, the day of the yamen's announcement, the Yang family handed over the complaint to the county government, accusing Hui Niang and the Zhou family of jointly embezzling the Yang family's ancestral business, in addition to not wanting to redeem the shares with silver, but instead bit Hui Niang and the Zhou family, saying that they united with profiteers and deliberately raised the price of medicinal materials, which made the Yang medicine shop bankrupt and asked for help, and finally Hui Niang and the Zhou family took it.
In the Ming Dynasty, the day of the announcement was on the third, sixth and ninth days of each month, and the people were allowed to submit the petition to the government, but in case of serious criminal cases such as murder and arson, there was no time limit for the announcement.
Because the Yamen also had a holiday at the beginning of the year, and the thirteenth day of the first month was also the first time that the Yamen announced after the year, and as a result, there was such a big case of "embezzling the ancestral property of others", and the person involved in the case was still the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Lu Sun, and the news quickly caused a sensation in Tingzhou Mansion.
In order to get back the ancestral property, the Yang family also prepared in advance, and there was originally a special account hired by Hui Niang to help manage the accounts in the pharmacy, but this account was vacated by the Yang family at the end of the first year, and the Yang family did not let the account start again after the year.
In this way, no matter how much silver the Yang family earns, they don't have to pay Hui Niang anymore, but at the end of the year, the Yang family shipped a large number of prescription medicines from the pharmaceutical factory on the grounds that "the business of prescription medicines is good at the end of the year".
Because the Yang family has always sold prescription medicines after the fact, it is equivalent to being put in by the Yang family for a sum of money.
This is also the Yang family's bad intentions for a long time.
Originally, there were some things to say and disperse, and it was reasonable for people to want to get back the ancestral property of the Yang family after making money from selling medicines, but Hui Niang and Zhou were ashamed, and everyone sat down to reason, with Hui Niang and Zhou's net worth, they might not put such a little money in their eyes.
But now the Yang family is playing a trick, first biting the Zhou family from the old lady of the Shen family, and now it is even more troublesome, even if Hui Niang and the Zhou family don't want to fight, they have to fight to the end now, otherwise others really think that the two sisters designed to encroach on the Yang family's ancestral property.
The Yang family invited someone who knew how to hand over the paper, but Hui Niang didn't understand the things in the yamen after all, so she had to ask someone to come back and ask.
According to the meaning of these people, it should be "a big thing to turn into a small matter", in this era, it is a big crime to embezzle people's ancestral property, if the crime is convicted, although it will not be imprisoned, but it may be fined.
What these people mean, your Lu Sun family is a female streamer, with a head and a face, and it is not bad for this bit of silver, it is a big deal to negotiate between the two sides and return the shares to others.
Or the Yang family also saw that Hui Niang's side was "unreasonable", and on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Yang side charged Hui Niang with one of Hui Niang's crimes, that is, Hui Niang used the Yang family's ancestral prescription to produce medicine, and asked Hui Niang to immediately stop the infringement of the Yang family's ancestral secret recipe and return the prescription to the Yang family.
If it was said that the Yang family only used some relatively reasonable means because of the competition for production before, but on the issue of prescriptions, the Yang family was already completely angry and scoundrels.
After Hui Niang heard it, with her always calm mentality, she was also so angry that she couldn't speak for a while, the story of "Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf" is nothing more than this.
However, Shen Xi gave Hui Niang a look, meaning to discuss it at night.
In this case, Hui Niang was afraid of delaying Shen Xi's studies, so she didn't ask Shen Xi what she meant, she felt that since the matter had come to the fore, why bother Shen Xi if she could find someone else? But now the problem is getting bigger and bigger, if the case continues, not only will the shares of Yang's Pharmacy be repaid, but also the prescription will be handed over, and then she will be punished, she really can't accept it.
In the evening, Hui Niang specifically said that she wanted to stay in the pharmacy to account for the accounts, but she actually wanted to wait for Shen Xi to pass in the evening.
It wasn't until the drum sounded at night that Shen Xi came out of his house, because he was far away from the pharmacy, he hurried all the way, and met the husband and the soldiers patrolling the street, and had to hide in a dark corner to wait for someone to pass, and finally arrived at the pharmacy, Hui Niang was already waiting very anxious.
When he went upstairs, Shen Xi untied the clothes he was wearing, and said as soon as he came up: "Auntie, you don't have to worry, I think about how to deal with the Yang family." Didn't they sue us? We went back, they were in the county office, we went to the government office! The official level crushed people to death. (To be continued.) )
