He felt that Qian Tongju had been entrenched here for many years, and no one would believe him if he wanted to say that he had not made money.

Since the wealth is collected, this one is gone, and that one is gone, so how can it add up to more than 3,000 taels?

If it's really gone, it's going to be tens of thousands of taels, or more.

Therefore, this should be a means for Qian Tongju to divert people's attention.

Thinking of this, he retracted his gaze and said: "The people of the Qian Mansion did not say that there was anything specific, but they reported that all the food was stolen, and Mrs. Qian's dowry was also stolen. ”

Li Yuan's face suddenly realized, and then he showed that he was unhappy because he was suspected, so he said aggressively: "I see, no wonder you just asked if you could take a look." Why, do you think that my brother Xie did some good deeds and sent some food to the people at this juncture, and the things in the Qian Mansion were stolen by the two of us? Do you think we are like thieves, like people with such abilities? ”

"As you just said, if you steal all the grain, how much ability do we have to be able to mix it out and bring away other people's granaries without being discovered? Do you think you, or your master, have the ability to do this? ”

Chen Xing also knew that his behavior just now was inappropriate, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed when he was questioned by Li Yuan.

"Mrs. Li, it's my fault, I don't mean anything else, and I don't doubt your character. After all, I still have my master, and I have known Xie Xiucai for many years, so I know who he is and how capable he is. What, I'm really sorry, I'm only brainy to do this. I'll go out and have the grain loaded. ”

Before leaving, Chen Xing thought of something again, so he continued: "By the way, Mrs. Li, my master said that the matter of sending food to the people will be handed over to Chen Gongzi to do, you and Xie Xiucai are in a hurry to get married, there is no need to delay on the road because of this matter." When the time comes, the master will ask Chen Gongzi to send these rice noodles to the people, and tell them who sent them. ”

Li Yuan deliberately replied with an unhappy face: "I know, Brother Xie just made money because of the script, and he can't bear the disaster of the common people, so he wants to buy some food for them." Since you are not mistaken, I will leave this food to you. By the way, Su Mingshan from Su Mansion knew that we were going to send food to the people, and she said that Su Fu also wanted to do her part and would arrange for someone to go out of the city with her tomorrow. Do you think you're going to talk to that over there, or am I going to talk to someone? I'm afraid that when the time comes, Su Fu will also want to do good deeds and transport grain out of the city, and then he will be regarded as the object of suspicion. ”

"I'll just go over and say it later!"

Li Yuan nodded, and left without caring about it.

If someone does this, that's for the best.

Now they are taking their children back, and the road is not fast.

If you don't delay on the fourth day of the new year, you can only get home in the afternoon or evening of the seventh day of the first month.

Twelve married, this time is indeed tighter.

On this day, when Li Yuan was taking her two children and preparing to go to bed, Xie Yanzhi still did not come back.

After the two children fell asleep, Li Laohan's voice came from the yard.

"Mrs. Li, a grandmother from Su Mansion is here, she said her name is Qingmei, and she wants to see you."

"Okay, uncle, you invite people in directly, and I'll get up."

Uncle Li answered yes and left, and when Li Yuan got dressed and opened the door, he saw Qingmei holding a lamp in one hand and a large brocade box in the other.

"Auntie, why are you here so late? Is there something wrong? ”

Li Yuan said, pulling people into the house, and then lit the oil lamp.

Qingmei glanced at the two children who were already asleep, blew out the lantern in her hand, and then stuffed the brocade box into Li Yuan's arms.

"Yuanniang, my aunt has no ability, which caused your grandfather's family to be ruined, and your mother and aunt to leave home at an early age. My aunt has not been able to avenge her family for so many years......"

"Auntie, it's all in the past, and there's no point in talking about it. Let's look ahead, maybe the dog official will be punished soon? ”

Qingmei was still blaming herself, but when she heard this, her eyebrows and eyes stretched.

"Yuanniang, you're right, that dog official has been retributed. Today, the young lady told me that he was robbed in his house and stole all his valuable belongings. The funniest thing is that I heard that his house originally planned to entertain Master Meng and them, but for fear of being seen as inappropriate, he put away all the valuable things and put them in the warehouse. This theft is equivalent to almost emptying the money mansion. You really deserve it! If it weren't for the fear of attracting attention, I would love to light a few strings of firecrackers to celebrate. ”

Li Yuan looked at the happiness on her aunt's face, but smiled silently.

Qingmei hadn't been so happy for many years, and after saying this to Li Yuan, she pointed to the brocade box that Li Yuan put on the table and said, "Yuanniang, Su Fu has treated her aunt well over the years. Food, drink, and housing are all paid for by the house, so my aunt has saved up the monthly silver and rewards over the years. Your aunt is in the Hou Mansion, and she can't look down on us if you want to. So my aunt divided the money and things that were close to me into two parts, and my aunt kept a small part for herself, most of which was here. ”

When Li Yuan heard this, she hurriedly pushed the brocade box back: "Auntie, I don't want it!" ”

Qingmei continued to push it to Li Yuan: "Yuanniang, you listen to your aunt." My aunt is old and has no children or daughters, so she doesn't need this. Now it's not all for you. You give half to your brother, didn't you say that he only got married a few years ago? I've calculated your age, and I guess he's not too young this year. Since you are not young, and you have only now become married, plus you said before that your father is gone, and your mother is also going with you, I want to have a hard time in the future. ”

"You keep these. Even if Xie Xiu is rich now, this meaning is different. Aunt gave it, you get married as the bottom of the box, you have money, and your waist is straight in your mother-in-law's house. As for your brother, with this money, he will be able to live a more comfortable life. His daughter-in-law can also treat him better. It is said that poor couples mourn everything, and with these, life can be improved to a greater or lesser extent. ”

Li Yuan listened to her thinking about her sister and brother, sighed in her heart, and said: "Auntie, I really don't lack money, although I haven't married yet, Brother Xie's money is basically with me." In addition, you should have heard before, Brother Xie has a shallow kinship, and I can be the master of the house as soon as I get married. In addition, Junzi's daughter-in-law is really good, very good. Before she was willing to marry Junzi, she knew that Junzi was in debt and had no land at home. If you have a chance to turn around, you will know when you see it, aunt. ”

"Okay, Auntie has a chance to meet. And Xie Xiucai gave you money, that was between the two of you. This was given by my aunt, Yuanniang, you are obedient. If you accept it, your aunt will feel at ease. My aunt has no children, and you, like Mingshan, are all your aunt's children. It's not too early now, and my aunt has to go back first, so I won't talk to you more. ”
