Chapter 032: Big Brother Arrives in Beijing (3)

"Qi Niang, do you really think so? After Da Lang entered Beijing, he gave the main courtyard to the young grandmother to live? ”

Mrs. Li sat on the seat on the left, glanced at her husband who was sitting on the right, and saw that her husband's eyelids moved, and the corners of his mouth rose in an arc, and seemed to be very satisfied with Wang Qifang's words.

"Back to my aunt, the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, although there is still a father and mother at home, but in Qi Niang's mind, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are like the elders of Qi Niang, and now that they are here, they naturally want to live in the main courtyard," Wang Qifang heard this, and quickly stood up and replied, "Besides, the house was originally left by the mother, and Qi Niang has no other brothers and sisters, only the eldest brother, and there is no such politeness between us." ”

"Well, very good," Master Li opened his half-squinted eyes, and looked at Qi Niang who was standing in front of him kindly, seeing that she not only looked like a dead sister, but also that this generous temperament was exactly the same as his sister, he couldn't help but be happy, he smiled slightly, and then nodded at Mrs. Li, "You talk to Qi Niang, I'll go to the study to write a reply to Da Lang."

"Yes, sir"

Mrs. Li nodded lightly, and there was a little more smile between her eyebrows.

After seeing Master Li go out, Mrs. Li asked Wang Qifang to sit on the seat next to her, took her hand, and said with a smile, "You brothers and sisters can support each other, respect and love each other, and your uncle and I are happy to see each other." However, you don't have to worry about the house, hehe, your uncle has been prepared for a long time. ”

"Huh? Uncle, do you mean that your uncle prepared a house for your eldest brother? ”

Wang Qifang was stunned for a moment and asked blankly.

"Oh, you stupid girl" Mrs. Li saw that Wang Qifang's stupid appearance was very cute, poked her finger over, and said with a smile: "You don't want to think about it, what a smart person your mother was when she was alive, even your newborn little daughter was properly arranged, how could you miss your eldest brother's eldest son?" Let me tell you, your mother has already purchased real estate and land in the capital and Qingyuan, and the title deeds are in the hands of your eldest and third uncles, and they will be handed over to your eldest brother after he gets married......

Hmph, the Zheng family doesn't want to think about it, what kind of family our Haicheng Li family is, how can the aunt and grandmother of the dignified Li family only have so little dowry and private property? 200 acres of fertile land and a few small shops are nothing, if you can exchange the Dalang family to the capital safely, to put it mildly, 200 acres of land is 2,000 acres, we are willing to do it"

"Are you saying that the things that my mother left in Qingyuan are just some tricks?"

Wang Qifang seemed to understand a little, she calmed down and thought about it carefully, and nodded secretly, yes, why didn't she think of this layer. When her mother gave birth to her, she had a difficult birth, and it only took half an hour from childbirth to her death, and she could arrange her future affairs, not to mention her eldest son, Wang Jinyu.

Listening to Mrs. Li's words again, it seems that my uncle and aunt know very well about Mrs. Wang and Zheng Sanniang's small actions, and they don't care much about the 200 acres of fertile land that they 'lost', so do they have something to hide from themselves?

"Hehe, you are really a smart child, no wonder your uncle often said that you are the same as the deceased aunt, you are a clever person." Mrs. Li patted Wang Qifang's hand, and her words were filled with a bit of nostalgia and remembrance. Then seeing that Wang Qifang guessed some things, but there was still a little puzzled on her face, she smiled and said, "That's the case, you also know the situation of the Wang family, the three generations have not been separated, and the people in the family are troubled and miscellaneous, when your mother married the Wang family, your grandmother felt sorry for your mother, and was worried that in the future, the Wang family would be entangled for the family property, and let your mother suffer in vain, so she quietly ordered your eldest uncle and third uncle to buy a lot of fields and real estate in the capital, Qingyuan, and Qingzhou respectively, most of which were not registered. Only a few parts were written on the dowry list...... Of course, the money for these properties is also your grandmother's private house and dowry, not the money in the Li family. "Later, after your mother gave birth to Dalang, her health was not good, and the situation of the Wang family became more and more complicated, so your mother did not disclose those properties to your master, so to this day, the people of the Qingyuan Wang family have always believed that your mother's dowry is only a little bit on the dowry list."

"A few years ago, when your eldest brother got married, your third uncle handed over the fields and house deeds of Qingyuan and Qingzhou to your eldest brother, and as for the capital, these are still taken care of by your uncle. No, as soon as I got the news of Da Lang's entry into Beijing, your uncle thought about sorting out those industries, and after discussing with Da Lang, he made the decision to sell a few of those shops, and I and your uncle scraped together some silver and bought a house for Da Lang. ”

"Really?" Wang Qifang really didn't expect that there was such an inside story, she almost blurted it out.

"Of course it's true," Mrs. Li touched Wang Qifang's hair and said softly, "And the house is in Ping'anfang, hehe, girl, didn't you notice that the neighbor to the east is moving?" ”

"Neighbors to the east?" Wang Qifang paused again, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face, "You mean that the eldest uncle bought the house in the east for the eldest brother?" ”

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Li smiled and nodded, "If you refuse to move in with us, your uncle and I can guess your thoughts, but let you live a life as a woman, your uncle can rest assured, and I am not at ease as an aunt." It just so happened that your neighbor on the east side and one of the protégés of the eldest lord recognized him, and the two sides made peace, and bought their house. First, Dalang's family also has a place to live after entering Beijing, and secondly, your brothers and sisters live next to each other, and they can be regarded as taking care of each other, so your uncle and I can rest assured. ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Li suddenly smiled very happily, she rubbed Wang Qifang's hand, and said with pity, "What's even more rare is that you can love your eldest brother and sister-in-law so much, which makes us very happy, really."

"What's the matter, I, I just think that my eldest brother and sister-in-law are good to me, and I should repay them...... Besides, my mother gave birth to two of our brothers and sisters, and we don't support each other, can we still count on those 'brothers' of the Wang family? ”

Wang Qifang lowered her eyes, and her mood was very complicated. I don't know if I should be happy that I hit by mistake, or if my uncle and eldest brother are sad that they have something to hide themselves, all kinds of strange thoughts are mixed together, and she has an astringent feeling.

"Well, okay, don't talk about this, originally your uncle wanted to wait for Da Lang to surprise you after entering Beijing, seeing that you were busy and wanted to change houses, so I told you in advance, okay, you just settled down there, don't toss anymore," Mrs. Li didn't notice Wang Qifang's strange appearance, and still smiled and said to her, "By the way, don't you want to choose a few girls and mothers-in-law, it just so happens that your eldest cousin has a habitual tooth mother-in-law, and she has just collected some good manpower, and when you are free one day, I will ask her to take someone to show you." According to your eldest cousin, there are really a few good ones in it. ”

"Hehe, then I'll thank my cousin first," took a deep breath, Wang Qifang suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, and then looked up and smiled, "I don't have anything to do now, I'm free every day, but it still depends on your aunt's time, you won't forget, you still have to teach Qi Niang how to pick a girl."

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten," Mrs. Li saw Wang Qifang's rare coquettishness, and the smile on her face was even stronger, she gently patted the back of Wang Qifang's hand, calculated the time in her heart, and said: "Well, in two days, listen to the people sent by your eldest brother say that if they have a smooth road, they will be able to arrive in these two days." When your eldest brother arrives, it happens to ask your sister-in-law to choose a few people to serve. ”

"Oh, it's all up to my aunt's arrangement"

After having lunch in Xuefu Lane, in the afternoon, Wang Qifang took a carriage back to Ping'an Fang. When she passed by the Feng Mansion on the east side, she deliberately stopped the carriage and took a look.

Sure enough, the gate of Feng's Mansion was wide open, and the gilded nameplate with the words 'Feng Mansion' written on it next to the gate was also taken off, and through the open gate, Wang Qifang vaguely saw people shuttling in the courtyard, busy as if they were packing up things.

"Hehe, it's okay, having a big brother as a neighbor must also deter some uneasy and well-meaning people."

After a noon, Wang Qifang seemed to have figured it out, and no longer entangled in the fact that she had been tested by her uncle and his wife. She lowered the curtain of the carriage, then knocked on the wall of the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove past Feng's mansion and circled to the innermost courtyard.

……

Pingle Fang at the other end of the capital, in a red lacquered door of the second house.

"Brother, when you are constantly decided, you will suffer from it, you are a person who does great things, don't stick to these vulgar principles"

"Sister, that's what I said, but the lady served my parents in my hometown, and finally took care of the aftermath for the two old men...... 'seven out' lady didn't commit any of them, but the 'three don't go' accounted for everything, a filial daughter-in-law like her, how can I, how can I take a break?"

"Oh, you, why don't you listen to what you say, let me ask you, do you want to become a human being, glorify your ancestors?"

"When、Of course I want to, but, lady...... And the child, I—I can't be so ruthless."

"Okay, you don't want to be a wicked person, I'm here to do it so that our family can prosper, I just go to the eighteenth layer of hell after death, I also admit it"

"To hell? Sister, what do you want to do? ”

"Hmph, what to do? Don't you want to divorce your wife? If the wife is dead or missing, it can always be. ”

The woman's grim voice sounded in the warm afternoon, causing the jade-faced man sitting across from her to shiver.

……

In the early morning, with a few heavy drums, the door of Ping'an Fang slowly opened, and the nearby small traders began to be lively.

On the street, a young man about 30 years old rode into the gate of the capital, and saw that he was wearing a lake-blue poplin round-necked robe, wearing a soft-footed hood on his head, and some dust on his coat and hat.

The man was followed by four or five spacious carriages, in front of which the voices of women and boys were heard from time to time, and behind were wagons covered with indigo coarse cloth, and in the carriages were sturdy and bound with many red lacquered wooden boxes.

"Huh~~ Finally arrived in the capital"

The man saw the neat neighborhood, reined in his horse, and let out a long sigh of relief.
