Xu Han put down the things in his hand, picked up a jade pomegranate ornament on the side and glanced at Xu Mian.

Xu Mian smiled and wondered,

"This shop belongs to the daughter-in-law of the Shao family? Didn't you hear that he was a Jiangnan businessman? ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said,

"It's not easy to talk nonsense, this shop is surnamed Zheng, a native of Beijing, but it has nothing to do with any Jiangnan businessmen."

After coming out of the jade shop, Xu Han went to two more shops she remembered, and without exception, they all became the shops of the daughter-in-law surnamed Zheng next to the Shao family.

Back at the palace, Xu Han took out a few deeds and handed them to Xu Mian,

"This is the deed of a few shops, you go and check it carefully, look at these Zhuangzi, is there any difference between the shops and those back then.

Also, you can check the changes in the Zheng family's property in the past few years, when you bought something, and how much money you spent, the more detailed the better. ”

She stood in front of the window with her hands behind her back, looked at the golden laurel tree outside the window, and then continued,

"Check the changes in the industry under the name of the young lady in recent years, and the more detailed the better."

She is not short of silver, and the eldest brother bought these shops in the first place, which was for another purpose.

In the past, she was in Shudi, and those people couldn't see her, but she went back to the capital for three years, and no one came to look for her.

thought of the sister-in-law who couldn't afford to be sick since Sister Ying was taken to the main hospital.

The people of the Shao family came to visit the sick one after another.

She should have gone and seen it, too.

The courtyard of the Shaw Brothers was unexpectedly lively, and a sharp female voice was heard speaking in the distance,

"Now that you are a nobleman, you don't know the difficulties in the market, whether it is a harvest or a business, there is no good one."

"Ours is pretty good, but we lost a little bit, and several shops in the capital are about to sell Zhuangzi, so that the shops can survive."

Xu Han's heart moved slightly, it was really a coincidence.

"Say hello to the son."

When the maid under the porch saw her coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

The people inside heard the maid's voice, and the conversation stopped abruptly, "The third brother is here, come in." ”

Xu Han entered the room, and there was a young woman sitting in it who was dressed ordinarily and had an excellent bearing, meeting Xu Han's gaze, with a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"This is my sister-in-law, surnamed Zheng, I have been sick, and I have to take care of Sister Ying, so I don't have the energy to take care of the dowry industry, so I entrusted it to the fourth brother to take care of it."

Shaw sat on the top, his hands on his chest, and looked disgusted when he spoke of the dowry industry.

Zheng smiled, "Although it is said that there are people to help, your fourth brother has really spent a lot of strength and energy to take care of it." ”

"Thank you so much for this sister-in-law." Xu Han bowed his hand to the Zheng family and thanked him, "My sister-in-law is a big family, and she also takes care of these trivial matters for my sister-in-law, that is, the family is willing to help like this."

I didn't take a tael of silver to help with this, but if I put it outside, it would cost a lot of money to hire a steward. ”

Her words made Zheng's face flush when he said it, and he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.

Xu Han looked at the Zheng family with a smile, and took the money to help people take care of the industry, no matter how hard it was, it should be.

"There are many people in the fourth brother's family, and it is always not safe to hand over these properties to outsiders, so I will have more profits than giving them outside, so that the fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law can also live more relaxed."

Shaw explained softly.

Xu Han couldn't help but smile and nodded suddenly.

Zheng's face changed and changed, and he suddenly stood up,

"I have a lot of things at home, and the accounts of this year are here, and I'm gone."

Xu Han said, "Sister-in-law Zheng is slow, since the sister-in-law said that she will hand over the property to you to take care of, why did I hear that several shops have become yours?" ”

Zheng's face turned even whiter, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Shao Shi and gritted his teeth and said,

"Lord Shizi, although we are soft-spoken, we can eat indiscriminately, but we can't talk nonsense."

"That shop was asked by your sister-in-law to take care of it, it's clear all these years, don't believe it, you ask your sister-in-law."

Xu Han silently looked at the Shao family, who seemed to be sick again, and the Zheng family, who was holding his chin and standing proudly, gently dusted his sleeves and said lightly,

"Sister-in-law should know that my eldest brother is very important to me, and what he left behind is also very important in my heart, and I must protect it no matter what."

"How to use my sister-in-law's dowry, how to send love, I have no right to put a gimmick on it, as for the other ......"

She didn't say anything further, just looked at Zheng lightly.

Originally, she didn't want to tear her face with Shaw Brothers, but in Sister Ying's matter, you can see that she is actually a bastard.

If she didn't make it clear, she would still think she was playing tricks.

No matter how those shops got into the hands of the sister-in-law, and how they became Zheng's.

After today, they should all make some moves, and she will have traces to follow by then.

Shaw Brothers looked at Xu Han in disgust, she got married for a year, and her husband went, but that year, her ears were full of Xu Han's name.

The husband is better to this younger brother than anyone else, and he was never happy when she was pregnant and dying.

It's just that with my mother-in-law, I am full of plans for this younger brother.

Zheng left angrily, and Shao didn't even seem to be able to speak.

Xu Han smiled, "Since my sister-in-law is uncomfortable, then I will leave first." ”

After speaking, he looked at the account book on the table and left.

In the evening, when Xu Han went to the main courtyard to dine with Princess Xu of Zhenbei, he asked,

"Mother, I wasn't in Beijing when my eldest brother went, didn't there be two grandmothers around my eldest brother? Where did you go afterward? ”

Xu put down the chopsticks in his hand, and said after a while,

"The two grandmothers invited themselves out of the house, one was in Zhuangzi, and the other took off her nationality and took her grandson."

Is that a coincidence?

"Why didn't you stay to serve my sister-in-law?" She asked casually.

Xu was stunned, yes, why didn't he stay?

One of the two grandmothers is the son of the royal family, and the other is his own dowry.

When she lost her son at that time, her eyes were full of pain, and the two of them said together that they were going to leave the house, but she didn't think much about it, so she let it out.

Later, I wondered about the cause of Xuan'er's death, and I also checked the two grandmothers, but she didn't find anything, so she put it aside.

Over the years, there have been rewards for them.

Xu Han frowned, although the eldest brother was not in good health, the imperial doctor said at the time that as long as he was well recuperated, it was okay to watch his children get married.

However, she died young, and at that stall, she was sent to Shu in a hurry.

She glanced at Xu Shi and lowered her eyelids, only to feel uncomfortable with resentment and grievance in her heart, and her eyes were even more sour.

The death of the eldest brother must have been man-made, but after so many years, the mother still hasn't had a seizure, which means that she hasn't found out yet.

Otherwise, with her character, she would never stay in the palace so reluctantly.

The next day, it was the day of her rest, and after returning from the king of Zhenbei, she saw Xu Mian waiting in the courtyard with a small servant.

She recognized that the little guy was by Yu Dongping's side, and she often sent some things to Jin Wuwei.

Seeing her, the little guy cried, knelt down for Xu Han with a puff, and begged,

"Xu Shizi, please go and save my son-in-law's life, if you don't go, he will probably be cut off his hands and feet."

Xu Han was taken aback, and his first reaction was whether Yu Dongping went to the gambling house again? I owe a large amount of money, so I was collected by the gambling house.

In this case, the little guy shouldn't come to her, why don't you hurry back to the Yong'an Hou Mansion to move the rescuers?

The little guy explained with a handful of snot and tears,

"Today is the March Wenhui of Qixinglou, and our son-in-law also went to the second floor to drink tea, but I didn't expect to meet the five princes and several family members.

Among them, the third young master of the Chengen Mansion and our son-in-law are sworn enemies. Somehow, the two sides clashed.

came and went, and even bet on the top name of today's literary meeting. Whoever loses will cut off his own arm. ”

When Xu Han heard this, he was a little speechless, Yu Dongping's temperament is very arrogant, and he loves to join in the fun, but what does the name of the People's Cultural Association have to do with him?

The little girl's tears and snot flowed together, and she pitifully folded her palms and begged her to save her life.

Xu Han was helpless, so he could only smile bitterly and go to the Seven Star Building with the little guy.

Qixinglou is on the most prosperous street in the capital, and today is a cultural meeting once in March, which is even more lively.

This literary society is very famous, because as long as the students who emerge in the literary meeting, whether they are in the jinshi or not, they will be hired by the imperial court.

It's because the students are really squeezing their heads to be famous in this literary meeting.

She looked at Xiao Er who was blocking at the door and asked Yu Dongping's little guy,

"If there is no post here, even the prince can't get in, do you have a post?"

The little guy hung his head and didn't speak.

Xu Han sighed, she didn't plan to go up, she was about to let the little girl go to Dongping and call down, when she saw a carriage stop behind her.

The curtain of the carriage was opened by a slender hand, and then Xiao Wei, dressed in white, got out of the carriage.

His gaze swept over Xu Han, shaking his fan and walking over,

"Xu Shizi also came to participate in the cultural meeting? Then you have to take a good look at the world's literary brilliance. ”

Xu Han didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Wei, so he gave the little guy a color,

"Go and call your son-in-law down."

Without waiting for the little guy to answer, Xiao Wei, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and smiled a little badly.

"Oh? Didn't Xu Shizi have a post? Why don't you call me a good brother, and I'll take you in......"

Xu Han frowned when she heard this, she used to be more than a month older than Xiao Wei, and once, she won against him, and then hooked his chin,

"Xiao Wei, if you don't call me a good brother, I will teach you my Huo family's stunts?"

At that time, Xiao Wei refused to scream, and if he lost, he would go back to practice for a while and challenge her again.

Now it's really feng shui in turn, and it's Xiao Wei's turn to let her call her brother.
