Because Qingyuan is the Lin family, Ziqing still pasted red couplets in the end, hung red lanterns, carefully prepared a table of meals, and the family played with the children in the game room for a while after eating.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ziqing went back to her parents' house and sat with Shen for a while, and Ziyu and his family entered the door. After lunch, Zifu pulled everyone to have a small meeting, and each share was still divided into five hundred taels of silver.

Even if the matter of building a factory in Anzhou is yellow, there is still a little regret in everyone's hearts, but when I heard Zixi say that the capital is going to build the third phase of the project, Zishou said: "Actually, I think it's better to do this, and those relatives in the province know about it, and they all have to come to work, or borrow silver, you can't refuse, you refuse a lot, and your bad reputation has also spread." This is far away, they don't know what we do, our family is the same as before, muffled to make a fortune. ”

Zishou said that Yang's mother's family also has a handful of excellent relatives, always thinking of borrowing some light from Yang's, but fortunately, Yang's return to his parents' home is not much, and every time he is accompanied by Zishou, except for sponsoring some Yang's younger brothers to study, Zishou ignores everything else.

Zifu said with a smile: "That's not the reason, it's ridiculous that the aunt still thinks that I have gained a lot of benefits from being an official outside, and they all insisted that I bring Ziquan and Ziping's family, saying that I and Ziping grew up together, and I don't know what to say." ”

"It's still fast to come to the silver, it's only been a year's work, and I'll come back with a thousand taels of silver, and I'll come back for another year this year, and in the future, it's a net earning, Qing'er, the second brother still wants to thank you." Zilu said.

"Thank me for what? It's still Xiaosi who is doing well, if you don't have his identity, our factory. I'm afraid I can't open it. Ziqing said with a smile.

"Isn't that the case? Therefore, our family must be united, and we are afraid that there will be no good life? Zifu said.

A few people gossiped again, and Ziyu pulled Ziqing to the side and said secretly: "Sister." My mother-in-law knew that our family had opened a glass factory, and I divided the silver, and my husband felt that it was too profitable. When I went home, I told my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law pulled me to ask my father-in-law carefully, and I learned that you and the fourth brother accounted for the lion's share, and said that it was a pity? Funny, you say, isn't it funny? ”

"Didn't your father-in-law go home and tell his parents when you took the silver into the shares?" Ziqing asked.

"No, I don't know when I'll be able to get the money back, so I won't go home. Hengzhi is my own dowry private silver, and my mother-in-law is not easy to ask, plus, I still have some loose silver and rent in my hand, and I didn't ask her for silver flowers. Naturally, she didn't want to inquire about that. ”

Ziqing naturally didn't know, because of this, Ziqing made the Xia family worry about it again.

Although Zifu can't go to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings, others can still go to Zeng's house to pay New Year's greetings, so there are some guests at home one after another, plus the Zeng family itself has a lot of people, Zifu has four children, three girls and one boy, and Zilu is three. Two boys and one girl, two Zishou, one Zixi, and the four sons of Ziqing's family, it is rare for the children to exchange feelings together, so Ziqing brings the children over every day. Let them play crazy in the yard, and at least three tables must be set as soon as the meal begins.

Zifu joked: "If you eat like this every day, you should give your mother a poor meal, I think we will make up for the New Year in the future, Ziyu is not counted, and the five of us are one hundred taels per family." ”

After Ziyu returned to her parents' house for a long time in the second day of junior high school, she brought Xia Ganyong to live in the fifth day of junior high school, and said with a smile: "Big brother also looks down on me too much, am I such a calculating person?" Like my brothers and sisters, I made up a hundred taels and lived for ten days and half a month. ”

Shen Shi smiled when he heard this: "They are all pot-bellied arhats who can't eat five or six hundred taels of silver, ducks, geese, rabbits, pork, and fish are all brought by Ziqing, as well as all kinds of vegetables and vegetables they grow themselves, my mother will produce some rice, and my mother will have twenty acres of paddy fields in her hands to rent to your father's cousins, and the annual grain is not sold much, most of it is left for your own family, which is enough." There are also those chickens, eggs, and mutton that are all home-made, and there are a lot of vegetables in the field, as well as the New Year's gifts from your families, and my mother almost didn't spend any money. My mother also has an income of more than 1,000 taels of silver a year, and 20 or 30 taels of silver a year is enough to spend. Without your silver, my mother can still make up for you every year, who has an urgent shortage of silver to tell my mother. ”

"Having said that, my mother still needs some money in her hand. We don't need to make up for it, so let's keep it for myself. Now it is not as good as before, and those who are still in the house of relatives cannot find money now. Zifu said.

The Shen family heard and thought of these few family incidents, the Fu family and the Xia family have been following the heavy gifts, these will be returned in the future, naturally they can't be low, and there are several big squires in Wutong Town, no matter what red and white happy events there are, they can't pretend to be deaf and dumb and don't come to the door.

Shen thought of this and said with a smile: "Even so, the silver taels in my mother's hand are enough, so I don't need to make up for it, and when it's really not enough, I'll ask you again." ”

In a blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first month, and the paper wallet to be burned on the grave should be prepared, Zifu discussed with Zeng Ruixiang that it is better to go to the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family, the movement of moving the grave is still too big, and besides, I am afraid that Xiaohui may not be willing, but there can still be annual worship.

Zeng Ruixiang nodded, but it was still raining on this day, Shen stopped Zeng Ruixiang and said: "Your body has not been very good, and the weather is not good, it is better to let Fu'er take a few of their brothers to go, and it can be regarded as doing your best for you." ”

Zifu also followed the persuasion, but Zeng Ruixiang insisted on refusing, and the Shen family had to let Zifu take care of it more, Zeng Ruixiang took Zifu a few people, went down the mountain from the ancestral tomb of the Zeng family, and drove the carriage to the Xiao family's side, Zeng Ruixiang cried there bitterly, and fell ill after coming back. Originally, as soon as the old man left, his body collapsed a little, and he had been holding on strongly, but now that he went to these two places, he blew the wind under excessive pain, suffered a cold, and fell ill is expected.

Zifu found Zixin's father-in-law, and Haosheng prescribed medicine to Zeng Ruixiang, and the matter of the school was handed over to Zifu first, and they were going to keep filial piety at home for three months, so they happened to take it. Zilu's school was managed by Chen's younger brother.

On the twentieth day of the first month, the Anzhou Mansion opened the door, and heard that many parents who had lost their children at home went to the Anzhou Mansion to beat drums and voice grievances, demanding heavy punishment for these hateful traffickers, the news came, the red show of the Sanmao family lived in the city, and after hearing this, she hurriedly took the child back to find Chunyu, Chunyu couldn't, she couldn't enter the gate of Zeng's house, so she had to ask Simao to come and investigate.

Zifu and Zixi hadn't figured out how to plead with Master Fu, but Master Fu found Zifu and Zixi. It turned out that Ermao and Sanmao were scared in prison, and directly told the cell boss about their relationship with the Zeng family, and the cell boss thought that the matter had to be handed over to the boss to decide, so Master Fu knew, and the prefect also knew at the same time, and asked Master Fu to discuss the matter.

The prefect didn't know if what Ermao said was true or not, but he knew that Zeng Zixi's mother was the lady of the five-grade edict who had just been given the seal by the saint, and the Zeng family still had two door plaques written by the saint himself, and he still saw it with his own eyes. Looking at the entire Anzhou Mansion, apart from the Wen family, who can have this glory?

Master Fu was also surprised and embarrassed at that time, but he knew that Zifu and Zixi were mourning at home, and after discussing with the prefect, he found the two.

After Zifu and Zixi discussed, they still explained the grievances of Zeng Ruixiang and Chunyu clearly, saying that the two families had not been in contact for many years.

"My grandfather, my grandfather was so angry that he couldn't afford to get sick. I'm ashamed to say that the lower officials really didn't know that my cousin was doing such a hurtful deed. I have heard that after he came out of prison, he still refused to study well, and once went to my sister's farm to steal, and was severely reprimanded by my brother-in-law, because my grandfather and grandmother interceded, my brother-in-law had to spare him and did not report to the official. Of course, I only found out about it later. Because these things were unclear and the grandparents were partial, they repeatedly suffered losses and were angry, and they had to constantly clean up the aftermath for them, so they had to cut off the relationship between the two families. Over the years, our family is not very clear about their family's affairs, and this time it was also because of a big disaster, begging to come to the door, my father refused to come to intercede, and my grandfather fell ill in a hurry. My grandfather's last words were indeed a plea for them, and in that case, the lower officials had to agree to spare their lives as much as possible. I also hope that the two adults will consider it carefully, and if there is any difficulty, the two brothers have not been here. Zifu said.

Lord Prefect and Master Fu glanced at each other when they heard this, but they really didn't expect that these two scoundrels were really Zeng Zifu's closest relatives. Master Fu was a little relieved, because it was Lin Kangping who reported to the official, and he thought that Lin Kangping had some grievances with them, it seems that not only Lin Kangping, but also Zifu's tone, there must have been a lot of grievances in the past. However, at this time, there was a prefect, and Master Fu was not easy to ask.

The prefect glanced at Zifu and Zixi, touched his beard and pondered for a moment, and said: "The capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, your cousin-in-law is a habitual offender, and he is still a leader, so he has to kill the head, as for the cousin Ling, if he wants to live, he can only be assigned to Qiongzhou, and he will not be allowed to take half a step out of Qiongzhou for life." ”

"Thank you, my lord, this is already possible, the lower official did not break his word, disobeyed my grandfather's will, and the bad people should also be punished as they deserve." Zifu and Zixi thanked him.

After Zifu and Zixi returned from Anzhou, they mentioned this matter to Zeng Ruixiang and Shen, but Zeng Ruixiang was not interested in paying attention to them. Ermao didn't give him a chance, he would come out of Ziqing's Kangzhuang, Lin Kangping punished him so heavily, and he still didn't repent after returning home, Chunyu and Yan Renda were parents, and they were only happy to see the silver their son got back, don't you know what their son did? The old man also lost his life because of this, and Zeng Ruixiang didn't know who to ask for justice?

The real verdict was on the second day of the second month of February, and it is said that the city of Anzhou was crowded with people, and it was more lively than the trial of those traffickers that year.

Chunyu's family went to Anzhou City early to wait, when they heard that Osmanthus's husband was sentenced to be beheaded after autumn, Ermao was matched with Qiongzhou, and he was never allowed to come out, and Sanmao was sentenced to ten years in prison because he was helping to deliver the message.

Chunyu and Osmanthus fainted. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
