The next morning, Mrs. Cheng left Li Danruo for breakfast, sent everyone, and ordered Jin Xiao and Biyu to move more than a dozen thick account books and a small rosewood box over, set up a few beds, looked at Li Danruo and said with a smile: "This is the dowry left by Brother Ming'er's mother, I have been worried about him for all these years, and I will hand it over to you from now on." \[\]”

"Wife!" Li Danruo shouted in a low voice, Mrs. Cheng pulled her to sit down, pointed to those things and said with a smile: "If you want to talk about business, your wife is not as good as that woman, if this thing is in her hand, it will definitely be more than the mother-in-law's hand, and the wife has seen it for all these years, but she just didn't lose it, you are a good person who knows how to manage money, and I will hand it over to you in the future, take care of it, and use it as your own dowry in the future, don't waste it for Brother Ming, these books are the general ledger books, and the box is the treasury and the key to the box inside, Brother Ming's mother put the dowry book in the treasury back then, and the account room outside the detailed account book over the years, I have already instructed me to let the account room be the same as you to communicate clearly, remember, look at them the same way, the wife is old, and it is inevitable that she has been negligent over the years, just right, you also check it for the mother-in-law, to see if anyone dares to bully the mother-in-law is old and not a director. ”

Li Danruo hurriedly agreed, and did not excuse himself more, and listened to Mrs. Cheng's detailed explanation for a long time before calling Yao Huang and Zhihong in, and went back with the account book and box.

Li Danruo took Wei Zi and others, and checked it attentively for two days, then sorted out the accounts of the past 20 years and the half of the treasury of gold and silver, and waited for Jiang Yanming to come back at night, and told him the details of the accounts, Jiang Yanming pilled his head on his hands, half lying on the couch, and only after a while did he say in a low voice: "Mother...... That's all there is to ...... dowry" Li Danruo looked at him with pity, Jiang Yanming was stunned for a while, and then said in a low voice: "The wife will hand it over to you, you can take care of it, and you don't need to tell me more, I am impatient with these silver coins." ”

"Well, this is what my mother left to you, and I told the account office, this income is only for you, and in the future you will use the silver, just pay from this account." Li Danruo said gently, Jiang Yanming turned his head to look at her and smiled: "If you leave it to me, you will leave it to you?" Li Danruo smiled and didn't speak, Jiang Yanming straightened up, leaned over and looked at Li Danruo carefully, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am all you, we are husband and wife, there is no closer than us, this silver is all at your disposal, I want to use the silver, and then ask for it from you." ”

"You are out and sprinkled with money, so that you can ask for it from me?" Li Danruo pushed Jiang Yanming out, and asked with a smile, Jiang Yanming said with a smile: "That's a huiwen, a huiwen, how can you write an article while sitting?" Li Danruo didn't say anything further when he looked at him, only ordered Yao Huang to prepare hot water, and Gu Zi went to the clean room to bathe.

In the middle of June, the original Zhenwu Army Festival made Ma Mingyuan imprisoned for the crime of embezzling military salaries and embezzlement of ink and illegality, Liu Yuancheng, the founder of Zhongtong, that is, Li Danruo's uncle, ordered the Zhenwu Army Festival Envoy, Li Danruo looked at the Di copy, stunned, Ma Mingyuan slipped and did not leave his hands, and his family was very rich, and he attached himself to the eldest prince to get the post of Zhenwu Army Festival Envoy, not to make a fortune by privately swallowing military salaries, but he secretly swallowed military salaries, greedy for ink and lawlessness...... I'm afraid that this crime is all 'illegal', in April, Huang Yongzhong, the transfer envoy of Huainan West Road, was also greedy for ink and lawlessness, and asked directly, greedy for ink and lawlessness directly asked for beheading, there are not many in this dynasty, Huang Yongzhong is a member of the Great Prince's Sect......

Li Danruo thought for a while, his heart tightened, the uncle is now the eldest prince's mansion, and he doesn't know how far he has come, although the uncle has no great ability, but he and his wife look at it like this, who knows what the eldest prince thinks? The third aunt of the former son also wanted to tell the fifth sister to the eldest prince's concubine's mother's brother, but fortunately the grandmother stopped her, the Li Mansion is like this, the Jiang Mansion is like this, how many people in this capital have to be involved with the eldest prince? If the emperor really has other ideas...... The wife said that the emperor's major affairs are often unbelievable...... At that time, if it is also unexpected this time, will the emperor ascend the throne, can he win the crown prince? How much blood will be shed in this capital?

Li Danruo rubbed his temples irritably, and only exhaled after a while, I have to talk to Mrs. Cheng about this and listen to her regulations.

After breakfast the next day, Li Danruo went to the back garden to watch people pick a few lotus flowers, found a soil bottle and inserted it, and ordered the bean green to hold it and go to the main courtyard.

Mrs. Cheng was playing cards with several old grandmothers for fun, seeing Li Danruo sent a bottle of lotus flowers, she praised it repeatedly, and a few old grandmothers had fun, and it was lively for a while, Li Danruo stood next to him and waited for tea and snacks, Mrs. Cheng wiped it a few times, dispersed everyone, and told Li Danruo to accompany him to take a walk in the small garden behind.

Li Danruo held Mrs. Cheng, admired the scenery all the way and smiled, and gradually said the words to the uncle's dispatch, Mrs. Cheng smiled comfortably: "Your uncle is an honest and capable, and he is in his fifties. ”

"But no, when Ma Mingyuan begged Ren Zhenwu to make the festival, my uncle and uncle also asked people everywhere to ask for this sending, and then the uncle said that the prince recommended several people to go in, and it seemed that he was bound to make this festival, so he persuaded his uncle, saying that fighting with the prince to send an envoy was an egg touching a stone, and my uncle was dead, but I didn't expect that this Ma Mingyuan didn't do it for a long time, and he would embezzle military salaries and be greedy for the idea of silver, which is really incomprehensible." Li Danruo took the opportunity to turn his words to his own worries.

Old Madam Cheng turned her head to look at her and said with a smile: "How can this Ma Mingyuan not embezzle military salaries?" When your uncle came back, he still talked about these things in the yamen? ”

"Well," Li Danruo first explained the last sentence of Mrs. Cheng: "Uncle only told the grandmother, if there is any major event in the court and the yamen, the uncle will tell the grandmother, and then make up her mind after discussing with the grandmother, the grandmother also loves to look at the mansion, you can see it carefully, there are many things, the grandmother understands much more than the uncle, I learned from the grandmother, that Ma Mingyuan is very sleek, and he is a businessman, his family is extremely rich, and he has always used silver to pass the road, when he was appointed on Jinghu North Road, the Lingjiang River collapsed in the territory, and he called the rich households in the territory to raise donations. I took more than half of it first, I have been an official for many years, I have never heard of the article of greed for money, and now he has thrown himself under the door of the great prince, and finally asked for this military festival to be sent, how could he break the mission for such a little military salary? ”

Old Madam Cheng looked at Li Danruo in surprise and said, "This court matter, you and your wife still care about this?" I usually don't pay much attention to these, do you say there is something strange in this Ma Mingyuan case? ”

"Well," Li Danruo secretly sighed and responded: "This case is not strange, there must be illegality, I think," Li Danruo paused, he really didn't know how to explain it for a while, paused for a moment, and then continued: "In April, Huang Yongzhong, the transfer envoy of Huainan West Road, was also greedy for ink and lawlessness, and asked directly, Huang Yongzhong is a member of the Great Prince's Sect, I think that today's body, the past two years have been good and bad, and at this age, looking at this look, I am afraid of the eldest prince...... My wife said that today's major events are often unbelievable, and I am afraid of ......"

"Are you afraid that the eldest prince will fall short?" Mrs. Cheng's reaction was not slow, and she immediately said, Li Danruo nodded again and again, Mrs. Cheng stood on crutches, and after a long time, she looked at Li Danruo and sighed: "You are reasonable, but we can't manage so much, firstly, our house is less involved with the eldest prince, and secondly, it is not our family that is implicated with the eldest prince's mansion, this is full of capital, who doesn't want to climb even the slightest bit with the eldest prince's mansion?" ”

Li Danruo sighed and nodded, Mrs. Cheng walked forward slowly: "I know you are worried about Brother Hong'er doing a long history, but this matter, the wife also disapproved of it in her heart, and thought about it for several nights, but she didn't say anything, Brother Hong followed his mother, he was a strong man since he was a child, he didn't read anything, he didn't excel, he took the exam for many years, and he didn't even lift anyone. What is happy, you say, don't let him lead this sending, this wife is really difficult to say, besides, said, he may not listen, alas, every family has a difficult scripture, Li family, a two-word stalk in your wife's heart for decades, our family, alas, don't say it, don't say it, if my sister rest assured, this person's family and surname are all destined by God, let's just don't do bad things, it's okay, in the future, you don't have to worry about anything outside the court, men can't meddle in the back house, we women, it's not good to care about this outside thing. ”

Li Danruo hurriedly bent his knees and solemnly agreed, and he didn't dare to say more, so he only supported Mrs. Cheng, talked about flowers and grass, and walked around again before returning to the upper room.

After waiting for Mrs. Cheng to have lunch, and talking with her for a while, Li Danruo returned to her courtyard, sat on the couch with a cup of tea, and looked out the window in a daze...... That being said, everything involved in the seizure of the heir is a catastrophe, this is not an internal and external matter, this matter, when Gorou comes back at night, I still have to talk to him, maybe he can do something.
