The top and bottom of the house have been changed into plain clothes, and the gold and emeralds on their heads have been removed, and they have been replaced with monochrome hair ties or silver and wood ornaments.

After dinner, Yiyu didn't rest much in the courtyard, changed into clean plain clothes, and led Pingtong to Chaoyang Courtyard. The mourning hall in the front hall is still being arranged, and Lu Zhongzhi's body is temporarily parked in the room, and the whole family needs to go to the vigil this night.

Walking outside the courtyard, he happened to meet Lu Zhi, who had just come out of it, and he asked Pingtong to guard it on the side, and led the jade to the wall.

"Big brother, what's the matter?"

Lu Zhi glanced around, then looked down at her, and said, "When my grandfather woke up in the morning, he explained some things, there were many people during the day, so it was not good to talk to you in detail, I am afraid that I will not have a chance to speak in the past few days, so I will tell you about this time." ”

For most of the day, the two of them didn't have much chance to speak, and even Lu Zhongzhi's last words, Yu Yu only knew one or two sentences, and they could smell it from Lu Jingshan's crying.

"At that time in the morning, the eldest uncle and the second uncle were both in front of me. Grandfather has made it clear that he wants the eldest earl to inherit the lord, and the treasury and the land deed of the field house are all called four copies, the second uncle's family accounts for half, the remaining one is for our family, one is reserved for Shuqing as a dowry, and the rest of the property in Jiangnan is left for you as a dowry. The two aunts didn't say anything at the time, but after the funeral, they would definitely make a fuss......"

The more Yu listened, the tighter his brows became, not the joy of a windfall from heaven, but the urge to smile bitterly. This is not a ghost. Let the childless big house inherit the lord, the second room is not happy, and half of the huge family property is divided to the second room, the big house is not happy, this seems to be a very equal distribution, but the two families will be dissatisfied, why the old man Lu, who has always been wise, wants to divide it so much, it is really a little confusing.

She was just puzzled, so she saw Lu Zhi sigh lightly and gave her an answer:

"Grandfather is like this, he is fair on the surface, but in fact he is biased, and the uncle has no heirs in his name, so it is clear that he is coming for me."

After hearing his words, Yi Yu suddenly realized that after more than ten or twenty years, Lu Rongyuan was old, and if there was no son by his side, then only Lu Zhi could choose, which was equivalent to arranging a back road for him.

There is also a quarter of the family property and the rest of the Jiangnan property, the latter is nothing, but the former, after Lu Rongyuan inherited the title, although he inherited the Yulu and Tian properties of Huaiguo Gong at the same time, it is a small thing compared to the Lu family's family property. If you give them a quarter alone, the two rooms will definitely not be happy, but they gave a generous share to Lu Shuqing as a dowry, and gave the thin property in Jiangnan and her as a dowry, but at the same time blocked the mouths of the big house and the second room.

Yu Yu had been to the storehouse, and with what she saw, she could also estimate what she couldn't see. After deducting the heavy funeral, a quarter of the family property, and all kinds of things are added up, there should be 100,000 taels of silver, this amount makes people feel brainy when they think about it, for example, if their hawthorn business can continue, the net income in a year is 1,000 taels of silver, and if you don't spend it, you have to save it for a hundred years.

"My original idea was that we would move out of the house as soon as the first seven days passed, but at the moment, it seems that it is not so easy," Lu Zhi frowned, "In the afternoon, the eldest aunt and the second aunt each asked me to come over to talk, and they both had plans to let us follow the same family." ”

Lu Zhi has not yet started a family, with such a large amount of family property, who to follow, don't you have to show it to anyone, their brothers and sisters don't care about the livelihood in the house, who knows what the amount of money is, so back and forth, when Lu Zhi becomes a family and starts a business, that inheritance can be deducted with oil and water, Zhao and Dou are both shrewd characters, who doesn't know the truth.

Yi Yu smiled bitterly: "In this way, this real money is a trouble, so don't do it at all." ”

Who doesn't love money, but without Lu Zhongzhi, the Lu family will not be peaceful, their brothers and sisters don't want to get mixed up with any family, Lu Zhi wants to open a mansion, and he has to wait for half a year, and it will be difficult to live with anyone.

"If you don't want to, what will I do with you," Lu Zhi rubbed his eyebrows, said too much, and his voice was a little hoarse, "When my grandfather said this, there were two imperial doctors in front of him, if we don't want it, spread it, then it will be the two rooms bullying our orphans and widows, and this reputation will be ugly." I had already rejected them in the afternoon, thinking that they would definitely start with you, and you remember that for a while, no matter which aunt spoke to you in private, you had to promise them anything. ”

"I see." Seeing that he was tired, Yi Yu said, "Pinghui asked the kitchen to make some food, it's still hot, you go back to the yard to eat first." ”

"Okay, there are a lot of clan relatives in it, and there are some things you don't like to listen to, so you don't have to pay attention."

After explaining this, he turned around and walked back to Li Courtyard quickly, Yi Yu glanced left and right, but saw Ping Tong, who was supposed to be on the side, standing not far away to talk to someone, she didn't call anyone, stood in front of Chaoyang Courtyard and waited for a while, Ping Tong trotted to him with an ugly face, leaned into her ear and whispered:

"Miss, the person I grabbed in the morning is gone."

"Huh?" Yi Yu frowned, he didn't have much time to talk to Lu Zhiti this day, but he didn't expect that person to escape. After thinking about it for a while, she said, "Forget it, don't talk to my eldest brother about this matter for the time being, you go and tell the groom not to talk too much." ”

"The slave has already told him."

Yu Yu nodded, "Let's go, let's go in first and see if there's anything we can help with." ”

Although she knew that the people in Hongzhuang were looking for an opportunity to arrest her, she didn't go out for a while, as long as she wasn't left alone, she would be safe, and after the funeral of Old Man Lu, she would discuss countermeasures with her eldest brother.

There were a lot of people in Chaoyang Courtyard, but they were not noisy, some were just low whispers, and after Mrs. Lu fainted and slept in the morning, she was arranged in a room farthest away from the main house, and the next room was vacated for entertaining guests—those relatives and in-laws who came to help.

Tomorrow into the coffin, before dawn all the children and grandchildren of the Lu family must wear filial piety clothes to enter and exit, according to the old practice of the Lu family, this filial piety clothes style is simple, but can not be sewn by the hands of outsiders who are not related, a few thick velvet carpets in the hall, at least 30 people sit, separated by a folding screen of six fans, on the outside are about 20 married women, on the inside are seven or eight girls who can needle and thread and have not yet come out of the cabinet, are relatives who come to help.

Yi Yu sat behind the screen, holding a white cloth in one hand, and the other hand flexibly pinched the needle and thread to shuttle on it, and there was a special old woman next to her to teach how to sew simple five clothes, the stitching method is very simple, she often does needlework, and after hearing about it, she remembered the line of needles, as long as she and Lu Zhi's two pieces were sewn, it was not troublesome.

Listening to the whispers of the women outside, she had been in for two quarters of an hour, and finally knew what Lu Zhi meant when he said that they didn't like what they were talking about.

"Alas, Uncle Santang is old, and it is understandable that he wants a grandson, but if he comes back with such a family, he still can't deny it... The nameless Lu family was taken captive, and that's it, no matter what, the second son of his family is nowhere to be seen. ”

"Said that he was sent to travel outside, and if he cut off contact, he couldn't find anyone, do you manage the family or not, there is such a pair of brothers and sisters left, and they still get such a large share of the family property - but the third cousin is still the big family, not to mention the lord, and he also left a heavy dowry for Shuqing's daughter."

"Isn't there a girl in that family who also got a share?"

"How can this be compared, you didn't see how many truckloads of things were transported when the third cousin returned to Beijing, and what else was left in the south, at most some fields and merchant slaves, I'm afraid it was not as much as the dowry that our family prepared for our daughters."

"What I said is, in my opinion, this old man still left that large share for that family in order to leave a piece of incense for his family, and that girl is a partner, Lu Zhi is a good one, not to mention his reputation, it seems that he has been valued by the emperor, if there is a good landing in the imperial examination next year......"

"Hehe, second sister-in-law, I see that you are the child in the photo, there are many young ladies in your mother's family who have not yet married, if you want to think about it, you have to do it as soon as possible."

"Look at what you said, now he is the eldest young master of his own family, and he is a famous young man in the capital, and my nieces are not worthy."

"When this is over, he won't be the same, you better plan as soon as possible, lest people really ...... after the imperial examination"

......

Through a screen, the whispers of the three or two women in the vicinity were only one of several, and the widow only listened to it with a smile, sewed one side of the waist, and when he wanted to change to another place, he was shouted from outside:

"Xiaoyu, is Xiaoyu inside?"

"I'm here." Hearing Lu Ronghe's voice, Yi Yu answered, put down the things in her hand, and walked around the screen to see him standing at the door waving to her, and she moved to the corridor to talk to him.

"This is a talisman sent by Fang Cai Actual Temple, and it needs to be burned out by the grandchildren in the back of the house tonight," Lu Ronghe folded a small stack of papers in his hand to her on fire, "Shuqing doesn't know where to run, you take this, go to the back of the courtyard and burn it under your grandfather's room, be careful, don't burn your hands." ”

"Oh." Seeing that she should go, he hurried out of the courtyard again, Pingtong was called to help, there were lanterns hanging in front of the house and behind the house, she was not timid, so she took her own things and went around to the back of the Chaoyang courtyard house.

Because it is winter, except for a few bald trees and rockeries behind the house, it is very empty, the people clean it every day, and there are no dead branches and leaves on the ground, she found the back window of the inner room of the main house, and was about to order the stack of rune paper, but she heard a whining cry coming from behind the rockery on the side.

Yi Yu hesitated, put away the fire, and walked towards the back of the rockery, just because it sounded a little scary cry that night, like Lu Shuqing's.

That day from Shuyun Lou drunk back, she did not take the initiative to talk to Lu Shuqing again, this time the old man Lu was in a coma in bed, the two met in Chaoyang Courtyard at first, at first she nodded to say hello, and after seeing that the other party turned a blind eye, she rested her sex.

(Yesterday's, sorry.) ）(！ )
