Until he returned to the upper room, Li was worried.

Open the box in front of you, there are not many things in it, there are a few deeds on it, Li looked through it, there are the house deed, the title deed of the shop in the town, and the house deed and title deed of the house in the village, and there is also a copy, it turned out to be the house deed and title deed of a house in the south of Beijing.

In addition to the house deed and land deed, there are also two land deeds, one is in Mujia Village, which is two hectares; One is in Linshui Village on the edge of Xiji Town, which is ten hectares.

Below the deed, there are several banker tickets and a private seal. The amount of the banker ticket is different, the smallest one or two hundred taels, the more one thousand taels, and the money village where it is located is also different, there are Tongzhou, and there are capital.

Li Shi didn't feel happy, but became more and more frightened, and his hands trembled.

The son is only 12 years old, if something really happens to the husband, how can the family support it? Although the husband and wife live together, the pillar of the family is the husband.

After the changes of the Gui family thirteen years ago, the Li family now doesn't ask for anything, just to be able to take their son to live a stable life, but seeing that it is about to be turbulent, what should they do?

Li was anxious, when he heard someone say through the door: "Is Mrs. in the house?" ”

It was the voice of Sixth Sister Du, Li Shi showed disgust on his face, put the box into the drawer of the kang cabinet and locked it, then pursed the corners of his mouth, and said, "Sixth sister, come in and talk!" ”

Sister Du Liujie picked up the curtain and came in, no longer having the arrogance of the previous "concubine", her face was a little obedient, and she came in with a robe in her hand.

"A few days ago, I sewed a robe for Lao Qi." Sixth Sister Du said with a strong smile.

Li Shi looked at the shoddy stitches, sneered in his heart, but said mildly on his face: "He is not short of clothes, why are you burdened by this?" In the end, it is the person who is married, but the clothes on the son-in-law's side should also be prepared. ”

When Sixth Sister Du heard this, she couldn't help but fly her cheeks, wrap her hands around the handkerchief, and whispered: "I also sewed a body, but I'm afraid I won't be able to take it!" ”

Li said lovingly: "It's not a needlework lady, it's the mind, who still doesn't know how to pick this?" ”

Sixth Sister Du also thinks so, but Mei Sheng is famous, everyone has to praise it when she mentions it, she doesn't want to be a needlework girl, but she doesn't want to expose her shortcomings, she hesitated for a moment, and said: "Mrs., the hundred-year-old ran away with his son, and there is no one around Lao Qi, is it time to add someone to the family?" ”

It's just that in the name of Du Qi, he wants to buy people.

Although the Du family has subordinates, they are countrymen, not slaves like the gentry in the city.

The subordinates of Du Zhai, in addition to the hundred-year-old maid who ran away and the old man who guarded the door, there are only four people: the cook sister-in-law Zhao, the servant woman Mrs. Chen, the maid Xiaoqing, and the maid Pomegranate, among which Xiaoqing is the daughter of Sister-in-law Zhang, who has been running errands by Li's side since childhood; The pomegranate was bought later and served by Sister Du's side.

Pomegranate was sixteen years old, and he was originally determined to marry with Sister Du Liujie, but after not wanting Zhang Fu's family to become fugitive slaves, Master Du found out that Pomegranate had privately accepted Zhang Fu's silver, and helped the centenarian lie and escape, and sold Pomegranate directly in anger.

Du Liujie is a coward, she dared to slap her face at her stepmother before, but she didn't dare to make a fuss in front of Du Lizheng, and she didn't dare to put a fart on the pomegranate matter.

There is no pomegranate to be afraid, but there is no dowry girl, she has to do laundry and cook when she marries into the Mei family? Du Erniang was a fool back then, and she became an old mother when she entered the door, but her sixth sister Du went to the official's wife. If you really become a yellow-faced woman, will you be able to watch the concubine follow Mei Sheng's affection in the future?

Du Liujie's simple little calculation is in the eyes of the Li family.

In the past, the Li family had to play with Du Liujie, but now they are not in this mood, they wanted to wave their hands to send Du Liujie down, but after thinking about it, they said: "I heard that Mei Sheng is back today, Xu is ashamed, or he should also come to our house." ”

Sixth Sister Du didn't answer, but there was joy on her face.

Li hesitated for a moment and said: "It stands to reason that you are the youngest daughter of our master, and the master has always favored you, and he should have kept you at home for two more years, but Brother Sheng is famous, before the Mei family pushed the family affair with the name of 'not suitable for early marriage', and now that he is married to you, the guise of 'not suitable for early marriage' cannot be fought, if someone is eyeing Brother Sheng'er's family affairs, ordinary people can still protect this family business; ”

When Sixth Sister Du heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows: "Do they dare to regret their marriage?" Daddy won't spare them! ”

Li said: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case!" ”

Sixth Sister Du asked for this family business because of heaven and earth, so naturally she couldn't stand the slightest mistake, and gritted her teeth and said: "Anyway, I have already promised the Mei family, and I want to make room unless I die!" ”

"Where is the point of death or life? It's just that the Mei family's previous meaning was to wait until next year's township exam to set a date, and when Brother Sheng became a teenager, it would be more decent than a teenager to show talent, but the people he came into contact with were naturally all people like the old man, so I was afraid that there would be that black-hearted bastard who wanted to marry a girl or something; I heard that the old man of the official family also likes to choose a son-in-law among the new people, which is worrying when I think about it. Li sighed.

Sixth Sister Du's face turned white when she heard this.

Since the marriage was settled, Sister Du Liujie has fulfilled her wish, and she has become more and more troubled by gains and losses, and now Li is talking about her worries.

"What can I do, ma'am?" Sixth Sister Du prayed a little: "Can you tell my father, it's really not good, the two families have a relationship earlier." ”

Li Shi was embarrassed: "This is more appropriate, but there is no reason for the woman to rush to the child!" If this is said, not only will the master's face be unstable, but it will also hurt the dignity of the sister. ”

Sixth Sister Du smiled bitterly: "If this family thing is done, it is not very decent, even if my father wants to come, he doesn't want to make extraneous branches." ”

Sister Du Liujie loves face, but it is more affordable. In the end, the difference between marrying and marrying is that the Mei family can find an excuse to regret the marriage, and the Mei family can divorce their wives after they get married?

Mei Xiucai divorced his wife back then, but she also completely ruined her reputation. As long as Mei Sheng values the future, no matter when it comes, he must respect her "dregs".

Only then did Li Shi say: "In the end, it is a lifelong matter, and you have to be decent." Don't worry, I'll discuss with the master again to see if there is a more appropriate way. ”

"Mrs. Quanlazy." Sixth Sister Du got up and said with sincere gratitude.

Li helped her up, comforted her a few more words, and said that he would go to the town to buy people in a few days before sending her down.

This family affair was not what the Li family wanted, and it was originally decided to stir it up, but after a few days, the Li family changed his mind.

Before, the Li family was reluctant to marry Mei Sheng, firstly, they did not want Du Liujie, who had bullied her son, to have a good end, and secondly, they were worried that Mei Sheng, a cheap son-in-law, would be worried about the Du family's property in the future.

But if Master Du really has a chance right now, it is not Mei Sheng's turn to worry about the Du family, and Mei Xiucai will directly target him. When the time comes, how can Li and Du Qi, widows and young sons, be able to bear it?

There is also the Li family, which has to be crooked when the time comes, and the Li family will also take precautions.

Mei Sheng and Mei Xiucai are not in harmony, and they cherish their reputation better in the future, but they will be a little jealous when they act.

Li is also gambling, but it is also a helpless method. There is one last way, that is, to find Gui Wu, but that is the next strategy, whether you can use it without the Li family.

As for the Mei family's repentance of marriage and the like, the Li family is just lying casually, where would they know that as soon as they say it, Mei Sheng, the quasi-aunt of the Du family, has been targeted.

County school, dormitory.

Mei Sheng came in with a few books and copied books every day, which was his daily study place, and he could also earn a few pocket money by the way, which was a habit left by him in his early years.

Now Mei Sheng is a student, there is silver and rice, enough for him to chew, but the cost of studying and studying is large, pen, ink, paper and inkstone everywhere to silver, but also to prepare for the cost of next year's township test in the capital, naturally the more the better.

After finishing a simple freshening, Mei Sheng sat down at the desk and began to copy the book without distraction.

"Knock knock" There was a knock at the door.
