Zhao only felt a pain in his heart.

Angry.

Obviously, in her and Yu Wan'er's plan, things shouldn't be like this.

The people should have pity on her, support her, and help her to criticize Leng Lan's mouth together!

Now, however, everything is reversed!

Originally, if the plan went well, she could follow Leng Lanzhi into the mansion, and then threaten Leng Lanzhi to give her money.

Today, her husband came back from the court and told her that Leng Lanzhi's fiefdom had just confiscated a corrupt official, and dozens of boxes of pearls and tens of millions of taels of silver had been found in the corrupt official's home.

And these money, according to the rules, are all cold, and now that the case is settled, just wait for the people in the princess's mansion to check the amount of the stolen money, and then it can be returned to the owner.

Thousands of taels of silver, dozens of boxes of pearls!

Aside from the value of those pearls, the silver alone is enough to make people's eyes hot.

You must know that although the Marquis of Pingnan is a second-class marquis, the annual salary is only more than 1,000 taels, and the rice is dozens of stones.

Shen Yizhi is only six products and thousands of households, and his annual income is only more than 100 taels.

This money can be regarded as a huge amount of money in ordinary people's homes, the kind that can sit and eat empty, but in Shengjing and the elite, it is not enough at all.

After all, Hou Fuguang is a second-class maid per month, and he costs two taels of silver every month, plus many people such as cooks and guards, and it costs nearly 100 taels a month to raise these people.

In addition, the house is repaired, the food and clothing on weekdays, and so on......

A thousand taels of silver, it's really not enough anywhere.

Fortunately, the Hou Mansion still has 100 acres of fertile land rewarded by the emperor, and by collecting rent, he can leave a few thousand taels of silver every year, so he barely has to sit on the empty mountain.

But it's still the same sentence, earning these thousands of taels a year, in Shengjing, where every inch of land is expensive, it's really not enough to see.

After all, they can't just sit in their own homes to eat and drink and not go out to socialize.

And if you want to go out for socializing, you can't buy new clothes? New jewelry?

The ladies and ladies in Beijing like to compare clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache......

Zhao desperately wants to squeeze into that circle, don't you do it?

In addition, Ping Nanhou likes to drink wine and go up to the flower building when he has nothing to do......

It's not that it's beyond its means, but it can only be regarded as barely making a living.

In the past, although the Zhao family knew that their daughter-in-law had a fief, they didn't think much about it.

After all, Leng Lanzhi's food and clothing were all in the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and he didn't see how she put on a show, so the Zhao family thought that there was no money in the fiefdom.

Today she realized how wrong she was in the past!

What no money!

That's a rich country, okay!

She was not angry, and the Hou Mansion was now overstretched, and Yu Wan'er guided her intentionally or unintentionally, saying that her daughter-in-law should be filial to her in-laws...... So Zhao came.

Now that the plan to secretly use public opinion pressure to threaten Leng Lanzhi cannot be implemented, Zhao simply broke the jar and broke it: "Why do you want to go in and say it?" Are you afraid to confront me in public because of your weak heart? ”

She no longer covered her face with her hands, and the people around her saw clearly that this person's face was clean, where was there a little sad and aggrieved?

On the contrary, the princess is soft and weak, as if a gust of wind will blow away, which makes people feel pity.

In the face of the accusation, Leng Lanzhi was stunned for a moment, and then asked puzzledly: "Why did my mother-in-law say this?" ”

Zhao snorted coldly: "Today, in front of my father and fellow villagers, let's have a good fight." ”

"When a husband and wife start a family, property should be put in one place. You and my son have been married for six years, but you have never handed in a copper plate. I will endure this, after all, you are a princess, and your status is noble, and I have no right to question you.

But you shouldn't have snatched it away! There is only one son in my Hou Mansion, Yizhi, and it will depend on him to support the Pingnan Hou Mansion in the future. If you take him away, you will take away all the income of the Pingnan Hou Mansion in the future! How do you make our family live? ”

A dignified Mrs. of the Hou Mansion should have supported the affairs of the entire Hou Mansion, but now she came to her daughter-in-law to sprinkle and stretched out her hand to ask her daughter-in-law for money, which is really unheard of.

Not to mention that there is no such precedent in the aristocratic circle, even ordinary people's homes are rare to see such a strange thing.

The people around them were dumbfounded.

Leng Lan's eyes crossed the darkness.

It turned out to be for the money.

In the past, although this old pious woman hated it, she never dared to worry about her money bag.

Come to think of it, this should be the handiwork of the good outer room.

Leng Lanzhi lowered his eyes and asked as if he had a good temper, "What does my mother-in-law want?" ”

Seeing that she was so deferential, Zhao thought that the method of using public opinion had worked, snorted coldly, and became more and more complacent: "Let Yizhi go back to Pingnanhou Mansion to live, and make up the share you owe over the years." ”

The onlookers suddenly didn't know what to say.

Caring for his daughter-in-law to ask for money is so straightforward, her face is really thick.

Of course, some people feel that although this Mrs. Pingnanhou is not good-looking, there seems to be nothing wrong with what she does.

Ordinary people's families, whose family is not the mother-in-law?

Whether it is a son or a daughter-in-law, the money earned must be handed over to the Zhonggong.

As a result, the two groups of people who felt that Zhao was right and those who felt that Zhao was wrong had a heated discussion, and those who felt that Zhao was right gradually gained the upper hand.

Zhao became more and more proud.

Leng Lanzhi sighed softly and glanced at the housekeeper on the side.

The butler struck the gong heavily, and the piercing sound of gongs and drums suppressed all the surrounding discussions.

Leng Lanzhi lowered his eyes and said faintly: "Mother-in-law may have forgotten...... When the court horse is equivalent to entering the house, not only the person will go to the woman, but all his future income will also go to the woman? ”

Zhao was stunned, and suddenly his eyes were a little weak.

Leng Lanzhi lived in the Pingnan Hou Mansion for six years, so that everyone forgot the essence of Shen Yizhi's involvement.

Zhao Shiwu said to himself: "Even if it is a rich man, Ke Yizhi is my only son, you can't stop him from providing for us-"

Leng Lanzhi sighed again: "Mother-in-law, do you have to be so clear with me?" ”

Her tone sounded a little resentful.

If you really want to settle accounts, then some of them should be cleared.

The money she spent on the Pingnanhou Mansion was not much, but it was only relative to the silver money in her treasury.

Zhao seems to have just heard the pleading from inside?

Thinking that Leng Lanzhi was afraid, she was shocked: "My brother still has to settle accounts!" What's more, if you take Yizhi away, we can't live in Pingnanhou Mansion! This account must be calculated! ”

Leng Lanzhi smiled bitterly: "Okay, since my mother-in-law insists on settling accounts-"

Her painting style changed suddenly: "Then let's do the math." ”

Zhao's heart was overjoyed.

Is this agreed?

How much does she want later?

Leng Lan Zhiguang has 10 million taels of silver stolen from corrupt officials, and she has to leave half of it, isn't it too much?

Thinking about it, she opened her mouth and said: "Other people's daughters-in-law need to give all their income to their mother-in-law to supplement the family, and I don't want yours, as long as you hand over half of it." ”

As she spoke, she also showed a look that she thought was very understanding.
