Over the next few days, Shi Ju told me the trick of the shop, and I carefully gathered cash so that Shi Ju could take more with him when he left. This seems to be the closest time for our uncle and sister-in-law, get along with each other day and night, sometimes when I see him laughing, I think alas, in fact, he is very happy to have a sister-in-law like me, everything is planned for their family, and he does not fight for property, and finally helps him raise children, alas! Is it overdone? Am I the Virgin?

In fact, I know that Shi Tong is fine this time, and Shi Tong's death seems to be eight or nine years later, is it too early to lay out for eight or nine years later? Moreover, Wu Zetian became the queen when she was in her thirties, who knew where Shi Ju was at that time? With the lifespan of the Tang Dynasty, the fifty-year-old Shiju is only afraid that he will be old, and it doesn't matter if he can't leave the martial arts, why do I have to drive him away? Just hope he's ordinary? I thought about it for a long time and didn't come to a conclusion, and finally decided not to think about it, because I knew that no matter what happened in the future, the martial arts family close to Mei Niang would not end up well.

"Sister-in-law!" Someone pushed me, and I saw that Shi Ju's face was a little ugly, and he whispered, "Daddy is calling you." ”

"I'm sorry, Dad, I'm distracted again." I seem to be like this a lot lately.

"Something?"

"No, Dad, can you go to the account room after dinner? The second brother also came. "I remembered something and looked at him.

The father-in-law was silent, and agreed to it, and the mother-in-law seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but thinking about it, if the family was locked up in the account room, I was afraid that the people would be scared to death.

I made a fine list of the gold and silver that I had cleared out and asked the priests to take away, and carefully put them in front of my father-in-law, as well as the income and expenditure accounts of the family since I took over the family business, and calculated and placed them in front of my father-in-law.

"What is this for?"

"Dad believes me, but the three of them become tigers, and the concubine is unwilling and unable to bear the charge of being unvirtuous, and I invite my father to come over to review the accounts to prove to my father and mother that the concubine will never be selfish when she asks the second brother to leave the martial arts. Since I took over the family business, for a few years, the second brother worked diligently, I managed carefully, the amount of the family property has passed the old time, after the return of the eldest young master, the concubine knew that it was not appropriate, so she began to prepare, in front of the second brother to ask the father to be the master, the second brother took away part of the entire family property two-thirds, the concubine only left the family with land and shop that is difficult to change, and then this old house. ”

"You give it all to him?" The old man was taken aback when he heard what I said, and after looking through the accounts, he looked at me.

"In fact, these are the money that the second brother has earned over the years, and they are his money. Besides, it is good to be at home for a thousand days, and it is difficult to go out for a while, so it is necessary to bring more soft and soft. I paused, "The family is full of women and children, and the daily consumption of concubines has their own proportions, and it will not make my father and mother feel the slightest inconvenience." ”

My father-in-law fell silent, looked down at the ledger, and after a long time, he looked at me: "When the boss comes back, you will leave?" ”

"It should be! The eldest young master has his own wife and children, and the concubine is left ......" I smiled bitterly and took a deep breath, "Father and mother, don't worry, the concubine will not take away a penny from the martial family, the only thing the concubine wants to take away is Mei Niang, but I also know that it is impossible." ”

"Where are you going?" He looked at Shi Ju.

"I don't know yet, my sister-in-law told me that it was best not to tell anyone, let me go out and think about it myself, and after nine years, I will come back again, and I will not have any contact with my family during this period." Shi Ju said what I had said to him again, and the old man looked back at me again.

"Why nine years?"

"...... "I was speechless for a while, I couldn't tell them, I knew that rotten man would die in eight or nine years, let him come back and take care of Mei Niang, right?"

"What if something happens in nine years?" The old man asked again.

"That's fate! Dad, let the second brother leave because I'm afraid of this, we have to let someone in the martial family live. I sighed and shook my head. The old man seems to be reluctant, the boss may not be able to come back, and this little son is afraid that it will be difficult to see each other again in this life.

"When are you leaving?"

I looked at the old man, I couldn't bear it, and smiled, "After the Dragon Boat Festival, so that the second brother can have a meal with his father and mother at home." ”

The old man nodded, and his fingers were not more than a month. He left the account room gloomily, looking at his lonely back, I sighed softly, this person I called my father for four years, unconsciously also had a little admiration.

"Dad is just afraid to think that you let me take away so much money because you want to elope with me." The sergeant behind me sighed softly, and I turned my head back to look at him sharply, and he smiled and shook his head at the accounts, and his expression was somewhat similar to that of a rotten person. The corners of his mouth tugged slightly upward, and he looked full of disdain, for my extra move? He finally looked up and looked at me.

"What are you going to do with this ledger?" He exalted the ledger that he was going to take with him.

"Burned, just if there was never this money, I originally wanted to burn it in front of my father."

"Stay! The three of them become tigers, rightly, no matter what you say today, in a few days, as long as someone says something, they will still doubt it, this is human nature. Why should you bother? Are you the one who is leaving, is it worth it for this home? ”

I looked at him for a moment, "What do you want me to do?" Eloped with you? ”

"Do you want to?" He looked at me fixedly, with anticipation in his eyes, I was stupid, I made him misunderstand, I really went too far, I made him think that I was in love with him. I looked at him for a moment, shook my head, opened the door and left the bookkeeper.

In the days to come, I was very calm, doing what I had to do, and I would play with my mother when I had nothing to do, and the morale was as normal, as if the scene in the account room had never happened. Soon, the Dragon Boat Festival arrived, thinking that it was to see off the soldiers, I took care of my sister-in-law to make the family banquet extraordinarily rich, but I also knew that except for Mei Niang, no one could really eat.

The gift arrived without opening Xi Shitong, and this time he gave me a delicate set of pure gold headdresses, as well as a large golden peony. The petals in the big brocade box are layered on top of each other, and I can't help but sigh that the craftsmanship level of Datang is really unbelievable, just think about it, how heavy is such a headdress the size of a real flower? I looked at these headdresses in a daze, he knew that I couldn't comb my hair, so he deliberately came to tease me?

"The boss is really ......" The old lady came to see and was about to praise him, but looking at my face and thinking about his other woman in Chang'an, she stopped talking. And the little guy who gave the gift was waiting there.

"Is there anything else?"

"My lord, please write a reply."

I went back to the study to get a pen and prepare to write a receipt, but the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, what did he want to do? Think of it, and use a small brush to draw the image of a woman who can't lift her head when she is pressed into the ground by a headdress. If I had a pencil or a pen, it would have looked much better, but it's a pity that my talent is too much. I looked at it again, shook my head, sealed it in an envelope, and came out to the little guy.

I don't look at the big boxes and small boxes of gifts anymore, and invite my in-laws to the table, the table is full of delicacies, but everyone has a solemn expression. Shi Ju glanced at those expensive headdresses and smiled, "Big brother is really generous, sister-in-law likes headdresses?" ”

I bowed my head and said nothing, Mei Niang giggled, my mother-in-law hurriedly asked her, she looked at me and said, "My mother doesn't comb her hair at all......" As she was talking, the little girl who had just gone out ran back again.

"Madam, I forgot that my lord still has a message, and my lord asked me to ask you if you want to find a girl who can comb your hair and send it."

"Get out!"

Shi Ju laughed loudly, adding a little joy to the family feast, and I also tried to liven up the atmosphere, I didn't want this last meal to be left with everyone's smiling faces.

That night, Shi Ju left a book and ran away, what I didn't tell my in-laws was that we stood in the courtyard for a long time before he left, and I hoped that someone would send him off. He gave me one last look and said, "Do you want to go?" ”

"I want to go, but not with you." For the first time, I said it directly, and he looked me in the eye, nodded for a moment, and left without looking back.

On the second day, the father-in-law held a family meeting, and the name of the priest was removed from the ancestral hall, including the family tree. Looking at the pale and miserable appearance of the people in the clan who sent him back, I knew that this was not the case, but I still felt sad for him. Helping him back to lie down, my mother-in-law was weeping on the side, and I sat quietly, in this beautiful spring, the martial arts family seemed to be experiencing a cold winter.

As the days passed, I waited hard for news from Shi Tong, but I felt that I was a little redundant, I knew what they were going to do, and I knew the result, what was I waiting for?
