Shi Gang felt that Yu Wenyan was reasonable, so he handed over to Yu Wenyan and said, "Then there is Master Lao Yuwen." ”

Dark Cloud quickly went to set the horse, and Shi Jinxiu instructed Shi Nan and Shi Yan to take good care of their younger brother Shi Lin at home, and then followed their parents and Yu Wenyan into the carriage.

When they arrived at the Changxing Marquis Mansion, they found that the mansion was cold everywhere, and there was no New Year's atmosphere.

Shi Jinxiu felt strange, but saw the stone pearl that was specially guarded at the second gate.

Although Shi Pearl is a person from the third room, she is not as jealous of Shi Jinxiu as her mother, and she even has a little gratitude to Shi Jinxiu, so that she no longer has to live in the shadow of Shi Coral.

Therefore, as soon as she saw the people in the fourth room, she hurriedly greeted her, and said almost without greetings: "Grandmother fainted while eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the eldest uncle asked people to notify the fourth uncle to come over on the spot." ”

Shi Jinxiu frowned when she heard this.

The first time my grandmother fainted, she didn't go to the doctor, but sent someone to inform the family?

Could it be that my grandmother's situation is very bad?

It's just that Shi Jinxiu couldn't ask, she quickly looked at her father and mother, and saw that they were also condensed, so she didn't dare to delay at all and rushed to Songzhutang.

The lights in Songzhu Hall were bright, and almost all the people of the Shi family were guarding here, and even Shi Gui, who was only three years old in the third room, was yawning and staying aside.

Everyone didn't have the heart to take care of the mess of cups and plates in the east room, and they all stared at the west room with an anxious face, for fear that something would happen to Mrs. Shi who slept in it.

Seeing Shi Jinxiu's family walking in with a cold air, everyone just raised their eyes and did not say anything superfluous.

For such light treatment, Shi Jinxiu has long been accustomed to it.

It's a shame that Yu Wenyan didn't come into the mansion with them, otherwise she really didn't know if he could stand this grievance.

"Yo, I said who's here!" However, just because she doesn't cause trouble doesn't mean that other people won't find trouble for her.

Just when Shi Jinxiu wanted to find a corner to stay quietly, the Lu family who saw her was a little restless.

"Isn't this the fifth girl whose family climbed a high branch and became unrecognized? Why did you get back today? "The Lu family is a little yin and yang.

Shi Jinxiu didn't want to pay attention to her, so she said lightly: "How is the third aunt lately?" Presumably all the money in the shop has been recovered, right? Don't forget that you still have an IOU with me, so why don't we cash it in?" ”

When Lu Shi heard this, his face changed greatly.

At the beginning, in order to save her father, Dong Pingbo, she borrowed money everywhere and borrowed everyone she could.

Now that more than half a year has passed, it is time for her to repay the money.

But Dongpingbo Mansion also owed a lot of foreign debts, and she had no time to take care of her, so she had to reluctantly sell some shops under her name to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

Because Shi Sango had a grudge against Shi Jinxiu, the Lu family deliberately pressed down the eight thousand taels of silver that he had borrowed from Shi Jinxiu before and did not pay it back.

Shi Jinxiu had heard about these things early in the morning.

She didn't bother with the Lu family before, firstly, because she couldn't spare time to come to the Changxing Marquis Mansion, and secondly, because she didn't want to stimulate the Lu clan again after considering the stone coral accident.

Although all this is the fault of Lu's mother and daughter.

But the Lu clan has been making things difficult for her again and again these days, as if Shi Coral is not at fault at all, and everything is harmed by her Shi Jinxiu.

Some lies, if told too much, are easy to be believed.

Since the Lu family was bent on buttoning the basin on her head, there was no need for him to talk to her about it.

"Money? What money? Shi Yan, who was staying with the Lu family, immediately reacted, and then looked at the Lu family.

Over the years, the money for their three rooms has been in Lu's hands, and Shi Yan, who only cares about signing orders when he goes to the restaurant and buys calligraphy and paintings, doesn't care much.

Who knew that after Dong Pingbo's file, the shops of all sizes in the capital did not allow him to sign the order, and he had to settle it on the spot.

This made Shi Yan, who didn't usually bring much money out, embarrassed, and only after questioning did he know that because Lu Shi didn't help him settle the bill on a monthly basis, those shops didn't agree to let him continue to pay on credit.

Although Shi Yan took a sum of money in Taifu Temple, and there was money in the house every month, but the money still couldn't withstand his big spending, and he relied on the subsidy of the Lu family's mother to get by.

This is also the reason why he has been respecting the Lu family all these years.

Suddenly hearing that the Lu family had money in his hand again, Shi Yan's mind became active again.

Because he had no money, he hadn't gone out for a few days to drink and talk to those friends.

Shi Yan's thoughts, how could the Lu family not understand?

Therefore, she frowned impatiently: "Where is the money?" Didn't you just hear that the five girls still asked me for money? ”

Shi Yan's expression became scornful.

Shi Jinxiu was not happy to hear this: "Third aunt, that's not what you said, that's my money, and I still have the IOU you made that day." It's a matter of course! If you don't want to admit it, I will sell the IOU, and when the time comes, there will be no one who comes to collect the debt as well as I can talk to, that is, two words. ”

"Five girls!" When Lu Shi heard this, his eyes immediately widened.

The idle gangs in the capital who make a living by collecting debts can do everything.

If Shi Jinxiu really sold his IOU, those idle gangs with IOUs really didn't know what they would do.

But when she thought of returning the eight thousand taels of silver to Shi Jinxiu with interest, she was a little unwilling.

At this time, the eldest lady Li stood up: "When is this?" Do you still have the heart to argue about this? ”

She glanced at the inner chamber with a look of wist.

Mrs. Shi is still unpredictable.

If Mrs. Tai goes like this, then her brother Bai will have to keep filial piety for three years.

What makes people regret the most is that she has not set a family affair for Shi Bai!

Wait until three years later, Shi Bai will be twenty-one.

For this reason, the Li family made a vow to eat a year's fast, and only asked Mrs. Shi to be safe.

At this moment, the person sent to ask for the imperial doctor came to report: "There are only a few people in the pharmacy on duty in the imperial hospital today, and the rest of the people have been called into the palace to stand by." ”

Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the previous rules, Emperor Qingde will hold a palace banquet in the palace, not only the eldest princess, the eldest princess and others will return to the palace to attend the banquet, but also give some of the court's elders and important ministers to reward dishes to show heaven's grace.

At such times, the doctors of the Tai Hospital have to stay by the side, just in case of emergency.

It's just that this kind of glory is no longer available to the Shi family of Shi Chong's generation.

"Isn't it okay to take the name of the Hou Ye to ask for it?" Li was still a little unwilling.

According to Mrs. Shi's situation, the more you delay, the more dangerous it will be.
