Chapter 406: It's a pity

Wu Lie seemed to be a little surprised, and then there was a hint of relief on his face, "I am relieved that there are so many trustworthy people beside my sister." ”

After he finished speaking, he took out a square oilpaper bag from his wide sleeve, pushed it to Rui Xue, and said, "This is the deed paper of all the properties of Houfu, and I have also found someone to calculate the silver taels earned over the years, there are about 180,000 taels, but they have all been... Mother spent. My father and I won the battle this time, and the Holy God rewarded him richly, except for those that I had to keep at home and worship, and could not be resold, I exchanged the rest of the gold, silver, and jewelry, a total of 20,000 taels, and I am also here. For the remaining 160,000 taels, I wrote an IOU, signed and fingerprinted, and I will definitely return half of the taels in the future. ”

Rui Xue originally thought that he would come back, only the deed paper, where did he think that it was so thorough, or a bachelor, the dignified young general of Zhenbei, who actually disregarded his face and even wrote an IOU.

She slowly opened the oil paper bag, looked down, and sure enough, the deed paper, the IOU, and the silver ticket were all three, and then looked up and glanced at Wu Lie's slightly embarrassed face, Rui Xue smiled faintly, picked up the IOU a few times, tore it a few times, and pushed the silver ticket back in front of Wu Lie, and finally put away the deed paper and handed it to Jian Wu.

Jian Wu bowed his head and entered the house and locked the box.

Wu Lie was stunned for a long time, then suddenly stood up and asked, "Sister, why are you doing this?" Don't you believe that I will pay back the money I owe? ”

Rui Xue saw that he was in a hurry, so she hurriedly got up and asked him to sit down again, and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, you misunderstood, I have never regarded you as a person who does not keep his promises. These properties in Houfu were all left to me by my mother back then, and I took them back to keep them, which is filial piety. As for the money earned over the years, most of the money earned back has been used to support the orphans of soldiers, and I know this. Speaking of the past, my father was also a general who led the army, if he had a spirit in the sky, he would definitely agree that these silver taels should be used in this way, and do more for the warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country and the people. ”

Wu Lie heard her say this, and his face slowly softened, "Hou Ye was as famous as my father back then, if he hadn't died on the battlefield, he would definitely be regarded as the right hand of the saint now, but it's a pity..." He was also imprisoned in the Buddha hall and fasted and recited Buddha all his life to atone for his sins...

My father instructed me to give my sister a substitute, saying that he couldn't live with Hou Ye's entrustment, and that Huang Quan would kowtow to make amends when he saw Hou Ye in the future, but now that he is still alive, he will try his best to protect you, even if his sister is unwilling, he will also declare that he recognizes his sister as a righteous daughter, so that as long as my martial arts family is still in command of the Zhenbei Army for a day, anyone who wants to bully his sister must think about it. ”

Wu Lie's words were very unexpected by Ruixue, but after thinking about it, he was relieved, this is the faith of a soldier. The previous dissatisfaction with the general's approach has now disappeared.

For Chen Shuangyue, the former master, she has done her best to clear her grievances and punish the wicked, she has done her best to be benevolent and righteous, and she no longer feels guilty, and this matter is successfully concluded, and she is looking for a backer for herself by the way, she will naturally not be stupid to refuse.

Rui Xue raised her head, her eyes were sincere, and she said with a smile, "Big brother, go back and tell your father-in-law that Yue'er is very happy to be his righteous daughter, and when he sees each other one day, he will kowtow and offer his own hand-sewn clothes, shoes and socks." ”

Wu Lie's face softened even more, and he completely let go of the big stone in his heart, and his voice was slightly relieved, and said, "Father will be happy when he knows." ”

Rui Xue said with a smile, "Big brother, since we are all a family, you don't have to mention any arrears in the future, I don't understand the affairs of the court, I don't understand a woman's family, but I guess that my father-in-law will definitely need a large amount of money to treat the wounded soldiers and settle the orphans, and you must take these silver tickets back." Moreover, in the future, I will divide forty percent of the profits earned from these industries in Houfu every year, and send someone to the General's Mansion to ask my father-in-law to dispose of it. ”

"Then what's the matter, you have a daughter's family, you always have to keep more money in hand, and our general's mansion also has an industry..."Wu Lie frowned and waved his hand, refusing to accept it.

Just as the old lady brought a few plates of freshly cooked dim sum, Rui Xue pointed and smiled, "Big brother just arrived in Tongcheng, maybe I haven't heard of it, I opened a teahouse, the business is very good, it can be said that the day is making money, big brother really don't have to worry about me running out of money." ”

In order to find Ruixue's mother and son, Wu Lie had already sent someone to investigate carefully, and when he remembered those rumors, his face sank, and he was faintly covered with anger, "Sister, you are not only the young lady of Anguohou Mansion now, but also the young lady of Zhenbei General's Mansion, if someone deceives you, you just have to say, I... No, big brother, I must have made this bad breath for you! ”

Rui Xue's heart warmed, after all, this was the first time that she came to Tongcheng and had a dispute with the Zhao family, but for the first time, someone didn't ask the reason, but insisted that she would stand behind her, even if she came all the way, Mu San, who had been with her for a long time, had never said so clearly, how could she not be moved?

However, after all, the two of them had such an old thing before, and Zhao Fengnian was a proud character, so he couldn't let the martial arts interfere in this matter...

"Thank you, big brother, I can still cope with it for the time being, to be honest, I now have children and daughters, a house and a shop, even if something really happens, I will definitely have food and clothing, and I will rely on it for the rest of my life. So, there's nothing to worry about, it's the eldest brother, find me a sister-in-law as soon as possible, I will definitely give the eldest brother a backup gift! ”

Wu Lie lowered his head and took a sip of tea, hiding the bitterness on his lips, and when he looked up again, his face was already peaceful, and he replied solemnly, "Okay!" ”

"Where does the eldest brother live in Tongcheng? This inn is the property of Houfu, if the eldest brother doesn't dislike it, he will live here, how about it? I won't charge you for the room! ”

Wu Lie grinned, a complicated color flashed in his eyes, as if he was embarrassed mixed with chagrin, very strange, "Well, I live in my father's family of a world friend, only a few days around, I won't move here, and in another half a month, my father and I will go back to the house, and if my sister is free, she will take the child to live in the house for a while." ”

Rui Xue guessed that he must have something else to do when he came to Tongcheng, so he didn't force it, the freshly baked two brothers and sisters gossiped a few more words, Wu Lie got up and said goodbye, Rui Xue called the old lady to quickly fill a box of snacks, and saw that he happily took it in his hand, so he sent him to the door with a smile.

When Wu Lie raised his feet and stepped out of the threshold, he hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and said softly, "Yue'er, although your temperament has changed a lot, and you can no longer find the shadow of before, but, I... I'm glad for you! ”

After he finished speaking, he strode away, the cold wind blew the corners of his clothes, and the black figure gradually disappeared at the end of the aisle against the white snow, with such a gloomy feeling...

Rui Xue stared at it for a long time, and finally sighed softly, this is a good man, but unfortunately, Chen Shuangyue is not blessed...

Besides, at noon on this day, Zhao Fengnian's master and servant finally rushed back with crazy horses, all of them were exhausted, their eyebrows and sideburns were frozen with a layer of frost, and the pedestrians passing by at the city gate and the soldiers guarding the city did not recognize that this was the eldest son of the Zhao family.

Feng moved his stiff arm and gasped and asked, "Young Master, shall we go to the inn first or go back to the house first?" ”

Zhao Fengnian wiped his frozen cheeks, looked at the fork in the road in front of him, was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Go, go home!" ”

With that, he beat his horse and ran down the street ahead.

A few small guys in the concierge of the Zhao family are carrying brooms to clean up the snow, although their faces are still a little bruised and swollen, but everyone is very happy, the lord wants to marry a new daughter-in-law, yesterday I rewarded everyone in the house, each of them doubled the moon silver, they are all bulging purses, how can they not be happy?

They were embarrassed to buy a box of rouge for their favorite little maid, or to buy a few colors of embroidery thread, when they looked up and saw three fast horses running, kicking up the falling snow ruined their busyness for a long time, so they were so angry that they were about to scold, but found that the person who came was actually their own master, and several people immediately retreated to the side with a weak heart, and lowered their heads deadly, eager to learn from the pheasant in winter, and plunged into the snowdrift.

Zhao Fengnian jumped off the horse and glanced at them, his eyes instantly became extremely cold, and he threw a few whips over, and a few little men immediately knelt down, begging for mercy without daring to say a word.

Zhao Fengnian snorted coldly, didn't stop, strode up the steps, entered the mansion gate, and went straight to the main room.

Mr. Zhao was half-leaning in a wheelchair, sitting with the second, third, and fifth masters, drinking tea, discussing the dowry list and gossiping.

The fifth old man is the most greedy, thinking about the hot scene he saw outside the teahouse yesterday, and couldn't help but say, "I didn't see it before, that woman is really a capable person, the teahouse heard that it is a day to make money, and in the future she will enter the Zhao family, so I will tell the head of the family, let her give the recipe out, and open a family in other cities, wouldn't it be an extra tens of thousands of taels of income every year." ”

Master Zhao snorted coldly, his face was slightly annoyed, "When the woman was in the house that day, Fengnian always praised her for her filial piety, and now that I think about it, every time she comes up to honor me, it is just some porridge soup and egg custard. ”

The second master was just about to answer, when he heard someone outside the door say loudly, "Father's words are wrong, you are still taking medicine that day, you are greasy and can't eat more, Chen's mind is changing every day to make porridge and stew, and my father doesn't praise it, how can you belittle Chen's so much?" Also, the wheelchair under my father is also a drawing drawn by Chen, so does my father have to say that it fell from the sky? ”

With these words, Zhao Fengnian violently pushed open the door of the house, and strode in with a cold air. In order to please the old man, Orchid also wanted to earn some sympathy, just got out of bed today, came to serve, and when she saw the head of the house coming back, she immediately knelt down and cried, "Master Dao, Dongyu is back!" Dao Ye, Dao Hu people have made a coax..."

Her idea was good, and she originally wanted to cry first, so that the young master preconceived that the woman was at fault, and the old man added a few words to convict the woman, even if the two met, the woman argued, it would be useless.

But she forgot for a moment the fact that she was now "toothless", she spoke, vague, no one could understand, and her face was more bruised and swollen, Zhao Fengnian looked carefully for a long time before recognizing that it was her, where could she be patient to listen to her nonsense, and directly slashed at the back of her neck with a knife, picked up her collar and threw it out of the door.

Feng Chao Yushun came later, just in time to pick it up, Zhao Fengnian shouted, "Lock her up in the firewood room, and sell her feet tomorrow!" Also, all the servants in the family who are injured on their bodies, do not keep any of them, and they are driven out by redeeming themselves, and those who have no money will find someone to sell them together tomorrow. ”

Feng Tiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied, "Yes, young master." ”
