276 Lingjia Manor 1
In the Red Eagle Continent, the Ling family manor is a famous family. This manor occupies a very large area, and there are several annexes in the manor, all of which are inhabited by those who are not favored, who have no cultivation physique, and who have violated the family rules. The Clan will be in the big manor. At the helm of the small clan association is Ling Xi's grandfather, an old man in his seventies. The news of the end of the Lingshan test had already spread down the mountain, but there was no news of Ling Xi.
"Old patriarch, it seems that the girl we sent over is hopeless this time. One of Ling Xi's uncles said.
"That's to be expected, you don't look at the annual auctions. That girl's worth is increasing year by year, which is the glory of our entire family. The old man said with great relief.
"If we had known this, we should not have agreed to the request of the nurse in the first place, we fed it ourselves, and all the silver was in our family. It was one of Ling Xi's uncles who spoke.
"Do you have the ability to beat the nurse of the water master? Besides, people have paid enough silver, although we have made all kinds of difficulties, and increased the silver taels, but we still can't stop it. Ling Xi's uncle said.
"Well, what's the point of arguing about this now, remember that going to the Great Clan will get our share back. The old man only cared about the silver and reminded.
"Poor child, if you marry Young Master Qiu, it's good, but it's just a few more children. Now it's Cheng Gongzi who has taken the lead, and I don't know who I'm going to sell it to. An old woman said, this is Ling Xi's aunt.
"Eldest sister, you are soft-hearted, since you have a physique that cannot be cultivated, for a family like ours, it is already a great honor for her to be able to send her to Lingshan to live for five years. Changing a family is not like raising livestock, so don't be emotional. ”
"It's not the eldest sister, I sighed, you said that Ling Xi's mother is also a cultivator of the fire system, why can't the child she gave birth to still be able to cultivate. ”
"Eldest sister, you have been struggling with this question for more than ten years, what have you found out. If there is really something strange, it is also someone her mother has offended. There are so many people on our human and beast continent that we don't necessarily know how to call you dead, let alone poison and curse people. ”
"Don't fight, even if it is found out, it is not certain that it will be the person we can deal with. The prosperity of the family is not easy, but the decline is very fast. A woman who marries in is just worth the funeral of the whole family. Don't mention it again, just think that the big clan will get the money there. The old man said majestically, his heart only had silver, and perhaps the woman whom he loved and hated.
"Report, patriarch, someone flew a pigeon to pass the book, and the girl sent by our clan passed the test and was about to go down the mountain. "There was a report from the little guy outside.
"Damn, a few thousand taels of silver are gone. Ling Xi's uncle said angrily.
"Brother, it's not gone, it's too much, according to the rules of the Great Clan Association, the silver of Young Master Qiu and Cheng Gongzi belongs to Ling Xi's girl, in the final analysis, it is still our Ling family manor. Ling Xi's uncle said.
"Come on, go and arrange for Ling Xi to move back from the other courtyard. The old man commanded in his mouth, but he thought with hatred in his heart what these people were doing?"
"Miss, we have finally descended the mountain. You see, the largest area in the distance is our Ling Family Manor. But when the young lady was not yet ten years old, she moved with her wife into another courtyard, which was close to the edge of the city, and could not be seen here. Finally saw the house of the festival, Qing'er excitedly pointed to the manor in the distance and said.
"Qing'er, are there many courtyards in the manor?"
"Well, there are seven or eight. We lived in a relatively good place, it was a small courtyard that was not very big, and there was a vegetable field in it, and there were more than a dozen rooms. There are also very poor conditions, just like feeding children who can't cultivate their physique, just a big room and a boy room. There is a room for girls, and there is a cook who specializes in delivering meals on weekdays. They were not allowed to go out of the yard, and when they reached a certain age, they were sold by the family. This item is available in auctions. ”
"They all have no relatives to follow. ”
"Miss, what about you talking in your dreams, testing out that you are not a cultivator, it is a shame for your parents. Anyway, in the Human and Beast Continent, you can't cultivate a certain attribute, that is, waiting for death, and being able to die is helpful to the family, and it is something that parents can't stop. Miss's mother is a cultivator of the fire system, and she is the only one who dares to argue with the small clan. That's why I can take the young lady to live in another hospital. ”
"That, Qing'er, where's my father?"
"Qing'er hasn't seen it, and when Qing'er was rescued by her wife, she didn't see Miss's father. It is said that he was sent to another continent by the small clan. ”
"Whew, what kind of status and existence he is in the Ling Family Manor, you can know so much from Qing'er's mouth. Ling Xi let out a long breath and thought in his heart.
"Is it Miss Ling Xi?" Suddenly, two officials blocked the way.
"Official, what are you looking for my young lady?" asked Su Xin generously.
"You are a big girl, we are the big clan will clean up the aftermath under the Lingshan Mountain, and the silver obtained by your young lady from the auction in the past five years will be liquidated to you. ”
"That's right, Miss Ben is still thinking about when the money will be given to Miss Ben. Ling Xi said this, in fact, he had already looked at this matter in his mind.
The aftermath is dealt with in a small and delicate courtyard, with more than a dozen rooms, each of which has a busy official errand. Ling Xi knew in his heart that this must be an eye of the Great Clan under the Spirit Mountain. Looking at the mountain and looking at the mountain.
"Miss Ling Xi, your auction price has been the highest over the years, after deducting the interest paid to the clan association every year, as well as your family's share, you can have fifty percent left. In the past five years, you have received a total of 22,000 taels of silver, which is a silver ticket common to the Continent of Man and Beast. These are the accounts of the past years. You check the inventory all at once. ”
"Miss, you and Qing'er count the silver tickets, and Su Xin will help Miss read this account. Ling Xi was very relieved to agree.
"Lord, please exchange us for hundreds of years of broken silver, and then stamp the seal of the young lady on each silver ticket. Qing'er said very old-fashioned.
The official in the aftermath looked at Ling Xi's master and servant in surprise, one was very serious about checking the accounts, and the other was very serious about counting the silver tickets. If she was an ordinary lady, she would have left happily with the silver. More than 20,000 taels of silver, which is also a lot of money for a large manor, and it may be a lifetime of living needs for a poor family.
"Miss, I've heard the nurse say that if there is no seal on the silver ticket, whoever gets it can get the silver back. Qing'er whispered.
"I don't know. Ling Xi's memory was blank at all.
"Forget, Miss, you are frustrated when you sleep, then Miss can find something on her body that can replace the seal, that is, to make a mark for the silver ticket. ”
"Ah, that's fine, then use this little tiger's paw print, it's guaranteed to be a unique seal. Ling Xi laughed, and the two little tigers also seemed to understand, and the birds chirped. Stretching out his chubby little paws, he printed silver tickets one by one, one by one like plum blossoms. On this side, Ling Xi and Qing'er counted the silver tickets and stamped them, and Su Xin over there saw the problem.
"Official, according to the proportion, the silver taken away by the Ling family manor every year is one percent more, and the year before last was two percent more. ”
"Big girl, why do you have to take it so seriously, after entering the Ling family's manor, all the silver on your body has to be handed over to the small clan association for safekeeping. Sooner or later, it's all the money in the family. The official said disdainfully.
"Official, we don't live in a big manor, and we eat and drink Lazar at our own expense, of course, we have to check it clearly. ”
"This big girl is right, but even if you didn't live in the big manor before, the small clan will not allow you to live outside now. Go back and ask for the extra money you have taken. ”
"Official, we don't want to trouble you, but this account still needs to be clear, and I also ask the official to give a formality and write a copy of the account reputation that the family has taken back and leave it to us. After Ling Xi finished speaking, he took out a hundred taels of silver and secretly stuffed it to the two officials.
The two officials looked left and right to see if there was anyone, and this was a very cooperative copy of the accounts, and Ling Xi jokingly stamped the paw prints of two little tigers on the two accounts.
"Naughty!" The two officials couldn't stop it, and they just said a word for the sake of a hundred taels of silver.
"Miss, this time we are rich, and we don't have to go out to hunt and dig vegetables in the future. Walking out of the aftermath, Qing'er said very happily.
"Sister Qing'er, it's not certain whether you can keep this silver, I think Miss's family will soon take Miss back to live in the manor. Su Xin said worriedly.
"That's bad, Qing'er is a low-level slave, and she is not allowed to enter the big manor, so she will be separated from the young lady. ”
"You can't enter the manor, you are still famous in the manor, but I am the maid ring received by the lady on the way, and the other courtyard may not be able to enter." ”
"Qing'er, Su Xin, everything is with your young lady, and we won't be separated. Ling Xi said firmly.
"Miss, you have been on a hunger strike and slept for more than ten days, and you have become an idea, how happy your lady should be, even the nurse will be relieved. Qing'er said with emotion.
"Qing'er, your young lady, was I very useless before. ”
"Well, was Miss still young at that time, and there were Mrs. and Nurse, when they were not there, Miss had no idea at all, and she would only cry when she encountered something. ”
"Qing'er, Miss Ben has been asleep for more than ten days, which is equivalent to being reborn once, and no one will say anything about Miss Ben in the future. I'm in charge of my own business. Miss Ben promises not to ask you two to suffer and be wronged with me. ”
"Miss, is this true?" asked Qing'er uncertainly.
"Of course what Miss said is true, Miss, Su Xin believes you. ”
"Well, Qing'er also believes in Miss. Miss, the courtyard is far from here, and we have to walk until the dark, so let's hire a cheaper carriage to go back. By the way, we can also get out of the car to buy some things by ourselves, and the people in the courtyard must still not eat well. ”
"Qing'er, if you want to hire a carriage, you can't hire that kind of cheap one, I think the people in the young lady's family may be waiting for us on the road. Su Xin looked at Ling Xi and said.
"Su Xin, you're so right, let's hire a luxurious carriage. We now have silver, and how many people are worried about it, but we can't wronged ourselves. Ling Xi looked back at Su Xin in admiration and said.
