Chapter 24 Confidence

Li Tian ignored her, put on his cloak, and went straight to Mrs. Yang's main courtyard with Qingzhi.

After entering the house, Li Tian beckoned to the mother-in-law who borrowed the money, said the mother-in-law's words in a few words, looked at Mrs. Yang and said, "...... I didn't expect a few years of hard work, the second aunt fell to such a shameless, I am an orphan without a father and mother, a few aunts do not say to take care of one or two, but such a little face, put their hands on the idea of the dowry left to me by my grandmother and mother, these ten years, I live according to my grandmother, how can the Yongguo Mansion ever send someone to send a penny and a half? Really, even if I am the only orphan girl in the fourth room, the Yongguo Mansion can't just wipe the fourth room alive, right? If you want to borrow money, you have to ask the eldest aunt to settle the accounts of this year and then talk about it. ”

"What are you talking about? Who wiped the fourth room ......" Mrs. Yang's lips trembled angrily, her throat was sweet, and she didn't know whether it was angry that Mrs. Xu was shameless, or angry Li Tian was too mean, but she couldn't refute it at all, just said half a sentence, and the second half of the sentence had to be stuck in her throat, and she only held back a face that turned white and instantly blood red, she said it well, since that tragedy, the Yongguo Mansion has been divided into three parts...... But this is what Mrs. Lin said personally, she can't look down on this bit of annual silver, she guards the mountains of gold and silver, and she still lacks this bit of annual silver! Mrs. Yang was so angry that her eyes turned black, but Mrs. Lin was dead, she just could ask for this silver! If she asks for it, she has to give it!

"The Li family has branched out from Yuhang to the capital for a hundred years, and it is also a big family in the capital, if the eldest aunt feels embarrassed and can't be disciplined, the Li family still has a patriarch, only I am an orphan girl left in the fourth room, weak and weak, all rely on the eldest aunt to support one or two, if the eldest aunt is really tired, the niece will go to ask for a lobby uncle, and find someone to support the portal for the fourth room." Li Tian's tone was cold and tough.

Mrs. Yang looked at Li Tian in disbelief, and found someone else to support the portal for the fourth room...... The fourth room is the only branch of the Yongguo Mansion, and the family rules of the Li family...... Mrs. Yang shook the couch a few times, stretched out her hand to support the couch, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, barely stabilized her body, looked straight at Li Tian and said, "Don't worry, the Yongguo Mansion will never tolerate such shameless things." ”

"Then thank you auntie." Li Tian stood up and bent his knees and thanked him: "My niece and daughter are retired, don't bother the eldest aunt too much." ”

Qingzhi followed Li Tian through the garden, and was almost to Qingtong Courtyard, so he couldn't help it, so he took a step forward and asked in a low voice: "Fifth lady, didn't you say that you, the eldest lady of the family, are very talkative, so ...... Will it offend the eldest lady? ”

"Alas!" Li Tianxian sighed heavily: "Tell me, I'm going to be with you all the time, can she be really good to me when she can wait?" ”

Qingzhi twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, then shook his head hesitantly and said, "I don't think so, the eldest lady is very serious about you." ”

"That's it, even if I am careful, I can't untie her knot, what's more, we have so many things, how can we have this kung fu? If she can't make friends, if she shows weakness again, won't she be unscrupulous and pinch me at will? Decide my family affair at will? ”

"I know," Qingzhi suddenly smiled: "So the fifth lady wants to mention the patriarch and say that if she wants to find someone to support the portal for the fourth room, if she dares to go too far, the fifth lady will dare to find the patriarch to ask someone to inherit the fourth room and make the decision for the fifth lady, this is to tell her that the fifth lady is not something she can handle!"

"Well, there is another layer, the family rules of the Li family, the mansion and the family property, and the sacrificial field are all to be inherited by the descendants, and if you really want to pick someone to inherit the four rooms, and then you can divide the family, the three of them will have to move out of the Yongguo Mansion immediately, even if it is the title of the Duke of Yongguo, they can also fight for it, this is what she is most afraid of, I am reminding her not to lose both." Li Tian smiled and explained again, and Qingzhi laughed softly: "So that's the case!"

In the main house of the third room, Mrs. Liu San listened to her confidant's mother-in-law muttering about Xu's search for Li Tian to borrow money and was punished by Mrs. Yang, and stayed for a long time before staring at her mother-in-law and chasing: "Did she really say that?" ”

"No, the eldest lady won't talk nonsense, the eldest lady said, if you want to borrow money, you will first count the silver in the second room for more than ten years."

Mrs. Liu San took a breath lightly, and her mother-in-law looked at Mrs. Liu San and said: "It's a shame to count it, and it doesn't count the second room, not counting the third room, even the eldest lady has to spit it out, this second wife is too, how can she borrow money like this, she really thinks that everyone else is a fool?" ”

"These five sisters are a person who can't be provoked, we can't mess with her, that Mama Xiong is her nurse, even if she said those words, it seems that she doesn't plan to get along with us, let's not care about our affairs, you detain some people in our courtyard, and be polite to Qingtong Courtyard, and the well water does not violate the river water."

"Madame don't worry." The mother-in-law was busy, and muttered gossip on the side.

Two days later, Li Tian suddenly sent someone to Mrs. Yang to say that she wanted to do supernatural rituals in the courtyard, Mrs. Yang stayed for most of the day, but she still felt a little relieved, she firmly believed in the Buddha, that courtyard was the most uncomfortable place for her, could it be, that mother-in-law...... Still in that yard? Mrs. Yang was so shocked that she couldn't sleep for four or five nights in a row, barely staying up until the end of the ceremony, and went to Puji Temple to listen to the scriptures for a day without saying a word, and lit several ever-bright lanterns.

The monks invited from Fayun Temple and Puji Temple did seven days of transcendent ritual in Qingtong Temple.

After the ceremony began, except for Li Xiaozu, who was shaking his legs in fright, and reluctantly moved over to guard for a day, the people next to him, including Mrs. Yang, were unwilling and afraid to approach Qingtong Courtyard, but Li Tian's cousin and aunt came over with their sons and daughters-in-law to listen to the menstrual period for a few days.

Early the next morning, Yue Niang lifted the curtain and came in, sat sideways on the edge of the kang, pointed to the courtyard with her finger and said, "Your eldest uncle knelt outside the courtyard all night, kneeling until dawn, and couldn't get up, so he crawled all the way back." ”

Li Tian sat up suddenly, paused for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand to indicate, Yue Niang listened intently: "Say, no one." ”

"Do you know how my parents died?" Li Tian looked at Yue Niang and asked, Yue Niang nodded: "Who doesn't know this?" I've met a robber. ”

"That's what I said, I always feel that there is something strange in this, one of them, we often go to Puji Temple, before and after decades, except for my parents, have you heard of the second such thing? Second, in this house, Aunt Shen's grandmother was killed by her grandmother's cane, this one, it is said that the eldest uncle set up a son, and it makes sense to go to the mother and keep the son, but why didn't the grandmother and grandfather live? Even if I lose a son, my grandfather has three sons, my grandmother has an aunt, and I, and thirdly, I have asked people to inquire that my uncle was not like this in the past, I heard that he likes to read, although he is not very knowledgeable, he is cheerful and loyal, and he is said to be very eldest brother, such a person, after the death of his grandfather and grandmother, shouldn't he work hard to support this family? Why have you been soaking in the wine jar for more than ten years? ”

Yue Niang frowned, thought carefully for a while, shook her head and said, "What you said is right, I don't understand this matter, have you asked your grandmother?" ”

"I asked, and my grandmother said that everything that should be returned has been returned." Li Tian looked at Yue Niang and sighed: "Just this sentence, I am most suspicious, what does it mean that everything that should be returned has been returned?" ”

"I certainly don't know." Yue Niang spread her hands and said, Li Tian sighed heavily, Yue Niang explained: "Since your grandmother said that everything should be returned, it must be returned, don't think about this matter, how can you still think about it?" It's been too quiet for the past two months, nothing has happened, and you don't think anything is wrong? Let's think about it right now, I always feel like something big is going to happen. ”

Li Tian took a deep breath, looked at Yue Niang and said, "Whoever makes trouble again, let's kill him!"

"It's a pleasure!" Yue Niang slapped the kang and was excited: "According to me, you just think too much......" Halfway through speaking, she saw Li Tian leaning at her, with a smile on her face, she suddenly came to her senses, sat up straight, coughed a few times, and said with a straight face: "Cough, how can you say kill and kill?" The capital is a place where there is law, and I am a law-abiding person!" Li Tian laughed and fell on the kang.

A few days after the first month, the shopkeeper Cheng sent a letter to see Li Tian, Li Tian took Yue Niang, a green oil car parked two alleys away from the pawnshop, turned a few corners, and quietly arrived at the corner door of the pawnshop at the back of the small courtyard, Cheng shopkeeper was looking out from the crack in the door, saw Li Tian and Yue Niang coming, hurriedly opened the door, let the two in, locked the corner door.

Yue Niang stood in front of the low door leading to the front of the small courtyard, paying close attention to the movement outside, and the shopkeeper Cheng said in a low voice without waiting for Li Tian to ask: "The owner, the letter over there at the inspection office, our Qu Yin was intercepted, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get a copy in April this year." Li Tian closed his eyes slightly, sighed heavily and asked, "Was it the eldest princess of Ning Guo who intercepted it?" ”

"I'm not convinced." Shopkeeper Cheng sighed worriedly, Li Tian looked up at Shopkeeper Cheng, and said with a smile: "We thought of this a few years ago, and they just used such a trick, you spend a little more effort at the inspection office, you have to figure out who our dozen copies of Qu Yin are in the hands of you as soon as possible, if it weren't for Ning Guo's ......" Li Tian frowned, and was silent for a moment before continuing: "I can't think of anyone else for a while, so I have to quickly find out about this." ”

"Do you want to do it with ideas? Without this, Qianchunfang would have to close. Shopkeeper Cheng was even more worried, Li Tian waved his hand and said: "No, this is not something that can be ended with spending money, our silver has to be used on the blade, the most important thing at this time is to inquire and understand who took the quyin." ”

"Yes, don't worry." Li Tian's calmness and confidence made the shopkeeper Cheng's heart settle, and he replied with a relaxed face, Li Tian did not delay much, and while raising his hand to wear a hat, he commanded: "You pass a message to Sun Liu for me, let him stare at the shopkeeper of Qianchun Fang, no matter how big or small, report every day." ”

"Yes!" The shopkeeper Cheng simply agreed, opened the door and sent Li Tian and Yue Niang, watched the two of them turn out of the alley from the crack in the door and couldn't see it, so he locked the door, thinking about the matter of Rong'an Hall and Li Tian's determination, he breathed a sigh of relief, went all the way out of the pawnshop with his hands behind his back, and went to find Sun Liu to pass the word.
