Li Wenshan glanced at the little burden, and wondered a little, what could he do? Of course, I took it back to A-Niang......

Wrong! This silver was given to Ah Niang, so Ah Niang has to tell Ah Daddy, that Ah Daddy......

"Does A-Niang know about this? What about Daddy? Li Wenshan patted the burden.

"Your aunt already knows, your father...... I probably don't know about it yet, after all, your aunt didn't even say anything to you. Mr. Qin laughed.

"Your aunt is very good, this silver, I mean, give it to your aunt, tell her, don't die in your hands, let people put a small village in the suburbs of Beijing, and write it into your aunt's dowry." I'm afraid that more than half of this silver was stolen from your aunt's dowry, and it is right to return it. ”

"Good!" Hearing what Mr. Qin said, Li Wenshan readily agreed.

"Also, remind you that A-Niang, you have to pay attention to the things that make a living, and you will ...... You can't ask your uncle for silver for everything, as you said last time, the silver of the Hou Mansion is your wife's dowry, your uncle and your aunt are very reasonable people, but your mother-in-law, and you Weng Weng, are not very reasonable, and your second uncle, your little third room, you have to stand up by yourself. ”

Listening to these few words, Li Wenshan's heart was hot, and he hurriedly stood up and shook it to the end, "I have written down all of Sir's words, Sir, don't worry." ”

Mr. Qin then stood up, returned the salute with a long bow, and let Li Wenshan sit down again, and the two of them talked for a while about the usual closing of the position, as well as the gossip of the officialdom on the two Zhejiang roads, Li Wenshan said goodbye, carried a small burden into the inner house, and went to find Li Xia first.

Li Xia slowly flipped through the silver tickets in the baggage one by one, and his face was very ugly.

Auntie's dowry is only a little more than 20,000 silver, when Daddy left Bofu to go to Taiyuan, he divided nearly 10,000 silver from the house, and now, there are more than 27,000 in this burden......

When Daddy was the teacher of Taiyuan Mansion, his salary was meager, and Auntie's dowry still has two small Zhuangzi......

"That's a lot of money!" Li Xia staggered his teeth, "Just by moving out of our house, we can have half of it at most." Mrs. Zhong must have saved so much under the banner of Daddy, trying every means to make profits and make money, looking at the amount of silver, she must have been seeking for more than ten years. The mastermind behind accepting bribes and ruining people's lives may be her! ”

Li Wenshan's eyes widened when he heard this, he stayed for a long time, and stomped his foot violently, "When I first heard that she died, I was still sad!" This Wang Ba Po! Well dead! Damn it! ”

"You take the silver to A-Niang, don't say more, see what A-Niang does." Li Xia had a gloomy face, wrapped up the burden and pushed it to Li Wenshan, "I'll go to the back garden a few times, and I'm panicking." ”

………………

Mrs. Xu accepted the small burden, holding a handful of hot charcoal, until the middle of the night, she quietly called in Mama Hong, and did not dare to light the lamp, and Mama Hong bit her ear and said that there were more than 27,000 taels of silver in the small baggage.

"What is my wife going to do?" Mama Hong didn't care about the emotion and anger, and asked with bated breath, staring at Mrs. Xu.

"The master doesn't know about her falling into the water, if you talk about this silver, you can't hide it."

Mrs. Xu actually already had an idea, but this idea was too contrary to her principles for more than ten years, and at this moment, her heart was full of self-blame, guilt, and fear. "What if...... This is a lot of money, so I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it. ”

"Madam, what kind of person is the master, Mrs. hasn't seen it clearly for more than ten years? There is more than 20,000 silver missing in the family, does the old man feel it? Mrs. ...... too Alas. Before Mama Hong finished speaking, she remembered that she couldn't say more, the master didn't realize it, and the wife didn't realize it......

"Mama, I know it's me who is wrong, but ......" Mrs. Xu slurred her words, and another guilt that has only existed in the past few days instantly suppressed the guilt of three congregations and four virtues, and she could barely raise her head.

"Don't talk about that. At the beginning, the old lady pointed me out to my wife and told me that I should help her with all my heart, alas, all these years...... Forget it, I'll just say it, this silver, Mrs. quietly put it away, slowly subsidized the family, and it was not taken out at one time, how can the master know? ”

"I think so too." Mrs. Xu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madam, the fifth brother is older, you have also seen it, the elder brother is only this big, he is much stronger than the master, in the future, if the wife has anything, just discuss it with the fifth brother, just let the master concentrate on being an official, this is also for his good." Mama Hong then persuaded.

This sentence fell straight into Mrs. Xu's heart, and it took root when it landed.

But that's not the case, the old man has said this more than once: Brother Shan is much stronger than him!

………………

Mingtao Villa outside Hangzhou.

King Qin entered his five-bay study, glanced at the thick stack of documents piled up on the long case, snorted, turned out, and sat down in a rocking chair under the porch.

Jin Zhuoyan followed behind Eunuch Huang and came in through the Hanging Flower Gate, and the King of Qin leaned towards the two of them, and when the two of them walked five or six steps away from him, he raised his eyes and looked at the eaves.

"Lord, the queen mother instructed, let Jin Shizi and the prince together, listen to the old slave talk about the two Zhejiang roads in the past few days." Eunuch Huang calmly and with a little helplessness, he turned sideways and motioned to King Qin to enter the house.

King Qin's two eyes continued to look at the eaves, as if he hadn't heard Eunuch Huang's words.

Jin Zhuoyan stood over and stretched out his hand to block his sight, "Master, come into the room and talk." ”

King Qin stood up abruptly and entered the house with his hands behind his back.

"These days, the major events of the two Zhejiang roads, only the regular closing of the verification of this one, Luo Shuaisi respects Cao Si and Xian Si very much, Cao Si Zheng Yuanzhi to the household department once a day, Xian Si Lin Mingsheng, to the military department is also a day to report, Guan Quan said, his military rations and military supplies, never delayed ......"

Eunuch Huang's tone was gentle and flat, and King Qin looked at the caisson on the roof with his two eyes, and he didn't know whether he heard it or not, but Jin Cunyan listened very attentively.

“…… The prefectures and counties of the two Zhejiang roads have all investigated very seriously...... This is today's newspaper, Empress Jiang's birthday is not a few months away, and the Ministry of Rites has an excerpt, saying that although it is not a whole birthday, but this year the prince has been established, and it is a good year, the queen's birthday, and it should be celebrated. The emperor also felt that he should congratulate him well, and Liangzhelu also sent a lot of things to pay tribute, and the decree should arrive in half a month......"

Eunuch Huang didn't care whether King Qin listened to it or not, he just carefully finished what he was going to say.

Seeing Eunuch Huang withdraw with his hands down, King Qin slapped the folding fan in his hand on the long case, stretched out his hand and patted the stack of folds, with a look of anger and depression, "Tell me, why do you have to let me see this?" I'm an idle prince, and I can't be considered an adult, what am I doing with this? It's ......."

The latter words, King Qin didn't dare to say it, let him be familiar with government affairs, what is he going to do? Isn't it best for him to be idle for a lifetime?
