went to Li's house, not only did he not stop Li Zijian from setting up another ancestral hall, but after the old lady came back, he went home in spring to seek the patriarch's words. The eldest old lady couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "The order is changed!" I said before that it would take a few years to enter Beijing, so I bought this house with my family funds, and spent another two thousand taels to clean it up——"

But the eldest old lady already felt that he was delayed by his wife, how could he listen to her persuasion? Without waiting for the old lady to finish speaking, she said: "20,000 taels are useless, how can you be the family background?" If you want to stay close to your mother's family, you can stay for yourself, and I will go back to Jining to be a sect! ”

The eldest old lady was angry and sneered: "Be a sect son? Li Han, think too highly of yourself! Now this family background, when I was in Chengdu Mansion, I bought it down a little bit, what is the matter with you? ”

She was cold, and the old lady was even colder: "Because of me, the prefect of Chengdu, you can buy at a low price and take the shop for nothing!" It's you, who borrowed my power to be greedy, but took it from your mother's house, you can really do it! ”

The eldest old lady suspected that someone was walking, and retorted forcefully: "You spew blood!" ”

The eldest old lady snorted coldly and said, "You said that I have the kung fu to spew blood, so you might as well ask your sister and brother-in-law what they said first!" ”

Wang Tian didn't say it directly.

It's just that the Datian family sends silver to the Tian family every year, and she also wants to, but her husband doesn't allow it. She couldn't help but say a few sour words, saying that Wang Yu was stingy or something. Wang Yu has been wronged for many years, and when he saw his brother-in-law, he asked casually: "The eldest sister gives her mother's family thousands of silver every year, is the eldest brother-in-law really distressed?" ”

Of course, the eldest old lady was not distressed, because he did not know.

All along, he has been trying to catch up with his father and younger brother, working hard to be an official, and he does not gamble or prostitute. There are only two concubines around, both of whom are carried by the eldest lady herself, and the eldest old lady has never favored anyone. The education he received was that the male protagonist was the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and the Li family was responsible for making money before, which was Li Zijian's grandmother.

Yes, the eldest lady only knew that he was sitting in an official and had money at home, but he never checked the accounts. On the Li family's books, there are another 100,000 families. How did he know that his wife's ability to make money was very great, so he still gave the rest of the silver to his mother's family.

The eldest lady dared to do it, so she thought of a countermeasure, because she said: "I just take some filial piety to my parents from the dowry income every year, isn't this okay?" ”

The old lady didn't know before, because she didn't pay attention to it rather than not understand. After getting the letter from Wang Yu, he deliberately looked for the shopkeeper who had been released by the Li family in the past, and quietly checked all the accounts of the eldest old lady, starting from her marriage into the Wang family. He didn't know the details, but he remembered them clearly in the general ledger.

Hearing this, the eldest lady smiled mockingly and said, "When my mother hired you for me, the dowry and dowry were less than 10,000 taels together. In addition to dead things, the only thing that can make money is a small village of 300 acres. How much money can you make by pointing to that? You are also really powerful, from a small village of 300 acres, to eight big villages and two shops. The bottom of this family is almost thicker than that of the public middle school. ”

The old lady still had a hard mouth: "That's because I have a way to make money." ”

"You're so powerful, why haven't you made money in the past two years?" The old lady stabbed into the heart of the old lady.

The eldest lady knew the reason, so she tried to think of something else, but said in her mouth: "Since I am a year older, my energy is not as good as before." ”

"You-forget it, I don't distinguish this with you, and you can't stop me from going back to Jining."

After speaking, the old lady shook his sleeves and left.

The eldest old lady couldn't, and after discussing it with her second son, she decided to toss it with the eldest old lady herself, and they had a few mothers, but they didn't return to Jining.

Things seem to have settled down.

However, half a month later, the eldest lady saw the steward sent by her eldest son and wrote a letter. In the letter, Master Li said that he had made a mistake on his errand and could not tell the old lady, so he asked the old lady to find a way to transfer 10,000 yuan of silver to him and send it as soon as possible. The eldest lady didn't dare to believe it, so she hurriedly asked people to scrape together the money, and sent her own steward to send the money together.

Half a month later, the eldest lady received another letter from her eldest son, in which the eldest lady Li said that he knew that his father wanted to seek a son, and he agreed. He also said that he didn't care about others, and his two sons in the capital had to follow their grandfather back to Jining Mansion.

Jiangxi, Jiujiang Prefecture, Ruichang County.

Li Zijian's cousin Li Rong sent away the old lady's steward, rubbing his eyebrows tiredly.

"Sir, why are you here?"

The eldest lady rubbed his eyebrows and sighed. She really didn't understand the reason why her husband acted like this, leaving aside her dowry, the two of them have been in Ruichang for the past two years, and her in-laws not only don't want to be filial, but also put some silver coins upside down. There really isn't a better in-law than this, as for working hard to act, is it 10,000 silver for the mother-in-law?

Li Rong rubbed his face and said, "I'm taking precautions." ”

"What do you mean?" The eldest lady was even more puzzled.

"My father always respects the rules, and he does it right. Between me and my second brother, he will not be partial. Mother, I thought it was the same. In the place where the eldest lady couldn't see, Li Rong's face was gloomy.

The eldest lady said very confidently: "Mother's dowry has always been evenly divided, can my mother not share it like this?" ”

With the eldest wife's understanding of her mother-in-law, this will not happen.

Li Rong said: "In the future, it will be divided equally, but not necessarily now." She can make up for it privately because her mother's family is weaker, and naturally she will have more mercy because her second brother is not as good as me. ”

"Why does the master think so?"

"It's not that I think so, it's Uncle Fang who said it. Uncle Fang was his father's servant, and his father asked him to check, and the result he gave his father was how much his mother posted to his mother's family. When I came here, I asked more, how much did I post my second brother...... Uncle Fang refused to say it, it was after I threatened him that he told the truth! The marriage of the second brother and sister, in ten years, from 100 acres of fertile land to 1,000 acres in Chengdu and 800 acres in Shandong! You are also a person with Zhuangzi, and there is no other income, is it possible? Li Rong gritted his teeth and said.

The eldest lady was stunned.

Her dowry is two shops and a small Zhuangzi, and she didn't save these family funds!

The eldest lady couldn't imagine that he originally wanted his eldest son to go to his uncle's house to ask for silver, but he didn't expect to make the two sons disagree.

Li Zijian, who was already on the way out of the Li family, naturally didn't know about all this, and he was not interested in knowing. I know that except for the sentence "deserved", there is no other interest. After sending away Wang Ge's old family, Li Zijian was worried about two things, one was how to make the emperor a prince, and the other was that Yuan Zizhou was about to return.

This time, how is he going to hold people down!

On October 24, it snowed heavily in the capital.

In the snow, Jun Qingzhen waited for a husband who he hadn't seen for more than two years. Seeing Yuan Zizhou get out of the carriage, Jun Qingzhen bowed his head and saluted: "The concubine welcomes her husband home." ”

Yuan Zizhou turned around, lifted the curtain, and personally helped a young woman down.

The woman looked sixteen or seventeen years old, combed the woman's hair in a bun, her eyebrows and eyes were not very delicate, but she had a hearty air. The woman held Yuan Zizhou with one hand and put the other on her abdomen.
