Once the Li family is sent to Xunzhou, it is impossible to return to the capital until she enters the earth, and it is difficult to say how many years she can live, but Yu Mingyao feels that it is not a matter of how long she can live, and the key is to get the silver that the clan needs to raise her first.

"I said Lao Jiu, it's not impossible for the Li family to return to Xunzhou, but you don't know the situation in the clan. Now these stinky boys are not good at business, and our lives are not easy. ”

Old Uncle Yu didn't move his eyebrows when he heard this, and waved his big hand and said, "Don't you just want silver, just give it to you." ”

"Daddy!" Yu Zhiyuan was speechless, not that he was reluctant to take the silver, but that his father didn't even ask how much people wanted, and he actually agreed. Is this really as beautiful as their Ning'an Bo Mansion is the previous generations? The family background is as thin as cicada wings, okay?

"Zhiyuan, don't think we are embarrassing you. You know, we don't want this to happen, but the clan really can't raise one more person, to put it mildly, we have no reason to raise this slut for nothing. ”

Although Yu Mingyao had a smiling expression, what he said was irrefutable. No matter what the purpose of asking for this money, and no matter where the money will be used in the end, the Ning'an Bo Mansion must take it.

Yu Zhiyuan had already planned for them to ask for silver, but he didn't expect to make a fuss that the second child was not his own, and now that he is making such a fuss, the original plan of one hundred taels of hush money will definitely not work.

"Which one does this eat, drink, and wear without silver? The Li family is only more than fifty years old, I look at her like that, let alone live for more than ten years, if you throw people over regardless of it, isn't it embarrassing for us? ”

The more Yu Mingyao spoke, the more he felt that he was very reasonable, and the abacus in his heart crackled, and he soon thought of a very suitable number. "I think so, even if it is one hundred taels of silver a year, we will suffer a loss, when she can only live for ten years, a total of one thousand taels."

This time, Old Uncle Yu didn't be able to respond with a big wave of his hand, he didn't know anything about the affairs of the mansion, and he also knew that one thousand taels was not a small amount for Uncle Ning'an's mansion. Even if you let the long house dig out, you may not be able to pay it out. The point is, how can this matter make the boss take the money again?

"Three brothers." Old Uncle Yu was helpless, so he could only lower his head, which was even more arrogant than a cockfight, and his tone softened. No way, who made him poor? "Otherwise, I'll have someone send you a hundred taels every year until the Li family...... Until you don't need it. ”

Yu Mingyao pursed his lips, only thinking that he was pretending to be poor, and his face suddenly looked bad. "How much silver do you have in the annual income of your uncle's house? There is also Zhiyuan, a dignified three-grade master, is it possible that he can't even take out a thousand taels of silver? ”

He doesn't want to collect the cash in installments, can it be compared to asking for silver every year? To put it mildly, who knows how far Yu Zhiyuan can go? If one day the rice is raised, where will the rest of the money go?

When bargaining for the Li family here, in the courtyard of No. 8, Yu Can and Yu Shuo had already listened to the relay of the two secret guards. However, Ding Yun and Ding Wu tacitly did not talk about the concubine of the first prince.

Although the people in the No. 10 courtyard heard it clearly, Yu Zhiyuan's father and son knew what to say and what not to say, as for the other few people in the Yu Mansion, firstly, they were soft-spoken, and secondly, they were as timid as rats, and they would never dare to contaminate the old affairs of the Guogong Mansion.

There is no listening urn placed here in Courtyard No. 8, and the brother and sister have a mysterious trust in Jing Yan, and they are sure that the secret guards in his house will definitely not make mistakes. Unlike a few old ladies in the clan, they will never easily believe such a ridiculous thing if they don't hear it with their own ears.

Even if you believe it, you won't hear it with your own ears so shocking.

"So, the second uncle is not a grandfather's child?" Yu Can couldn't tell whether he should be happy at this time, or whether he should be sad for his grandfather. She knew that her grandfather had no feelings for the old lady, and even obviously disgusted, but she must still be a little sad to be treated like this by the old lady, right?

Yu Can thought of his grandfather living in Changming Courtyard for decades, lonely and alone, only accompanied by Yu Gong and those fighting cocks, and it was also desolate to think about it. Who would have thought that this is not the end, the son who has been raised for decades, and said that if it is not his own, he is not his own, who can figure it out?

"This result is really unpleasant." Yu Shuo also felt depressed, what is this, if it spreads, Yu Mansion will be laughed at for five years.

"It's not going to get out." When Jing Yan saw the looks of the brother and sister, he knew that they were worried, but in his opinion, it was impossible for this to reach the ears of others.

The people of Yufu themselves can't pass it on, he can't pass it on, and the secret guard can't do it.

"Alas, thank you Grandpa Guo for your help!" Yu Shuo bowed, and he was really grateful in his heart. If it weren't for Jing Yan's help, how could they know such a secret so easily.

It's just that after knowing it, my wish was fulfilled, but I was not as happy as I imagined.

"My sister and I will go first, and we have to go back to the house to talk about this matter with my mother, Grandpa Guo, farewell."

"Wait."

As soon as Yu Shuo got up, he heard Jing Yan open his mouth to keep people, and he was a little surprised for a while.

Jing Yan himself was also a little surprised, he originally wanted to say yes, but he didn't know why he changed the words as soon as he opened his mouth. stopped the brother and sister, but he didn't know what to say, his brain was hot, and he threw out a sentence stiffly: "Lunch has been set in advance." ”

"Huh?" Yu Shuo scratched his head, didn't he say that he would only stay for one morning, why did he book lunch in advance? "Grandpa Guo is really polite, then ......" Yu Shuo turned his eyes to look at his sister, and saw that she was indispensable, so he nodded, "It's better to be respectful than to obey." ”

Yu Can's mind was not in the house at all, she stood at the door and looked at Xiaobai by the fish pond, but her thoughts drifted to the next door.

She wanted to see her grandfather.

Since Ling Xiang's accident, she went to find her grandfather, and she likes to run to Changming Courtyard every once in a while. Her grandfather was neither warm nor lukewarm to her, and the conversation was just about some cockfighting and cricket skills, but she still liked her grandfather very much.

Sometimes, her grandfather would teach her to read more books for the first time, telling her that women who read should not be despised, just like her grandmother. Every time Yu Can heard him mention his grandmother, he could see a trace of loneliness on that face that did not show his age.

Perhaps the emotions of adults are restrained and light, not as strong and fiery as in the script. But Yu Can felt that his grandfather must like his grandmother.

But what kind of emotions is it like to like someone? Is it always thinking about it, longing to meet that person? Is it the hearing of that person's name that makes the heart tighten and pound?

Or will it be like more people, plain and quiet, without saying a word, you can easily understand the deep meaning in the other person's eyes?

Yu Can walked with her mind, her eyes inadvertently swept over her side, and at some point, Jing Yan walked to her side.

"If you want to go to the Tenth Courtyard, I'll let Chang Xi take you there."
