Wenwan accompanied the emperor after lunch and walked around the courtyard.
The emperor heard about the scene that happened in the imperial study. The emperor smiled and asked, "Girl, why do you have such a big opinion against Xu Zhongran?"
Wen Wan didn't know what the emperor meant and thought he was talking about what happened just now. "Uncle Emperor, I have no objection to him. It's just that we should follow the procedures and not use the back door. I think Xu Zhongran should be able to pass it! In my impression Among them, this person is smart and good at planning. He should also be a powerful character as an official. "
The emperor had the intention to bring them together, and now he is even more happy to see Wen Wan's intention and praise. "My uncle also thinks Xu Zhongran is a talent, but I didn't expect Wen Wan to think so too. Wen Wan, I think Xu Zhongran is a good young man, and he will have a good future in the future." What do you think? "I think it's fine to marry two years later, but you have to work harder to find a good person!" If Wen Wan doesn't step up her search for a good girl, she will become an old girl. Her second daughter is younger than Wen Wan, and she is getting married and is about to become a mother!
Wen Wan refused without even thinking about it, "I don't want to marry such a deep and scheming man. From now on, he will be plotting and scheming, and his life will be so tiring. No."
The emperor smiled and said, "No matter how good he is at scheming, he can't scheming against you."
Wen Wan pursed her lips and said: "No. He has an obscure father, two stepmothers, several half-brothers, uncle the emperor, you also know my temper. I am most impatient of the intrigues of these women. I am Ignore that mess, he¡¯s not the only good man.¡±
The emperor was worried: "It's hard to choose a good one if you pick and choose like this!"
Wen Wan said nonchalantly: "If you can't choose a good one, then don't get married! Anyway, I have a house, a car (horse carriage), and countless properties. If I don't get married, I won't have any worries for the rest of my life."
The emperor's face immediately fell: "That's nonsense. How can a girl not get married? Xu Zhongran, take a look first. If it's not good, then search carefully. You can always find the one you like."
Wen Wan could have no place.
Seeing Wen Wan's attitude, the emperor became even more worried. What kind of thing should I look for? Hey, just pay attention first! It is really difficult to find someone who is gentle and gentle. but. He couldn't bear to make do with it.
Wen Wan returned to the mansion and asked someone to call Xia Tian over. I told him about buying tea gardens and land to grow tea. Xia Tian has been working hard to run errands for her these years. No mistakes or mistakes were made. This matter must be handled by your own confidants. Only with gentleness can you rest assured.
Wenwan handled the matter at hand. I remembered what Meier said. It's true that she hasn't paid attention to the Taira family for more than half a year. He must be having a hard time. "How's it going over there with the Taira family?"
Wen Wan knew that Ping Xiangxi was sick and needed medicine, so he had no money to buy medicine and asked everywhere to borrow money. Those relatives thought he was a scourge.
She smiled softly, wondering if she deserved it: "Xia Yao, what do you think we should do?"
Xia Yao thought for a moment and then said: "Just do whatever the princess wants to do"
The next morning, someone was sent to Guangyuan Bank and asked Shang Wei to make a quick trip to the Princess's Mansion. When Shang Wei got the news, he couldn't wait for the break, so he immediately asked for leave. The shopkeeper asked why. He said that the princess asked him to visit the mansion. When the boss invites someone, he immediately treats it as a business trip. Where can I ask for leave?
"Princess." Shang Wei was a little frightened, Wen Wan was no longer a daughter of the Taira family. It has nothing to do with him legally. He was worried and Wenwan let him go.
"Don't worry. Do whatever you have to do. The bank manager has already told me that you have done a good job at Guangyuan Bank. Don't worry, although I have left the Heng family, I will not break my promise. What can you do? It depends on your ability. I'm not here for the bank's business," Wen Wan said with a slight smile.
"Then why did the princess come to me?" Shang Wei said cautiously.
Wen Wan made a move, and Xia Ying gave a small box on hand to Shang Wei: "This is what I took from the Heijia. I have always been busy. If I hadn't been reminded yesterday, I would have forgotten it. We are no longer the Heijia. It¡¯s unjustifiable for me to occupy the Taira family¡¯s things.¡±
Shang Wei was a little scared.
As soon as Wen Wan saw Shang Wei's appearance, she knew what he was thinking: "My business with them has nothing to do with you. You work hard in the bank. As long as you have this ability, no one will pressure you to achieve any position you want." Yours. Don¡¯t worry.¡±
Shang Wei hurriedly praised him.
Wen Wan felt that she should make it clear: "There are also house deeds and land deeds in Bajing Hutong. Although I have nothing to do with him anymore, I will not drive him to sleep on the street. I am not that cruel. Man, the house deed and the land deed are also given, and the last blood relationship is completed. As for those items, you leave them to the Duke."
Shang Wei doesn¡¯t want toShe is a hand, but Wen Wan's attitude is very clear, she will not want these things.
"Thank you for your hard work" gently. How could Shang Wei dare to bear this hardship? It is appropriate to keep busy.
Wenwan saw that the show was almost done and asked him to go back.
"The princess has severed all ties. Moreover, even if you are kind-hearted, you don't need to give them such a large sum of money. It's worth tens of thousands of taels of silver! If you use it to help others, you can also help a lot of people. ." Xia Yu felt a little distressed. Those people are all white-eyed wolves and vampires, and they can't even say a good word to them. It is better to throw it to beggars than to give it to them.
After hearing this, Wen Wan smiled and said, "This is not my thing in the first place. It is something I got from the Ping family. It is right to return it to them. I don't want to take advantage of this. But Xia Yu, you have Chang Jin, those things are indeed worth five or six thousand taels of silver. I don¡¯t care about the Heng family¡¯s things. If I take advantage of the opportunity, I can still gain a good reputation by returning them.¡±
Not many people are convinced by Wen Wan's words. Xia Ying said unhappily, "Princess, if you have these people, you might as well use them to help more people, and also treat them as accumulating some virtue for that person. Do anything to prevent him from starving to death. He deserves to die of hunger and illness." "
Wen Wan smiled softly: "Do you think that if Ping Xiangxi dies of hunger and cold, others will think so? Even if we break away from the relationship, no one in the whole capital, or even Daqi, knows that I am his biological daughter. Do you think , in the future, will the historian write down this for me?"
As soon as Wen Wan finished her words, no one dared to say anything.
Wen Wan smiled softly: "He has always hated me the most. But now he knows it. He just broke away from me and still depends on me to live. This feeling is a kind of torture." In fact, she didn't want Ping Xiangxi to be so quick. die. Want him to die slowly. The remaining days were spent in regret and grief. so. In order to atone for the sins he committed. To comfort the souls of the child and Aunt Huang in heaven.
As for taking these things out, Wen Wan understands very well, no matter which society. They all sympathize with the weak. A report that Wen Wan had read before. The memory is particularly profound. The report talks about an 80-year-old man begging on the road and living under an overpass. Later, his son was found, but his son refused to raise him. At that time, everyone scolded his son. But his son also complained bitterly about his father's cruelty when he was young. Said mother died young. The stepmother is vicious. He was not given food every day and was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back. Not only that, the stepmother always sows discord in front of his father, saying that he scolds her with vicious words and wishes that the whole family would die. His father didn't care about anything, but beat him to pieces every time without giving him food. Until one time I was beaten until I had only one breath left. Wandering around in desperation. He would not support such a person even if he died.
This news was very sensational at the time, many people said. There is nothing wrong with the old man, and he cannot watch his biological father starve to death and freeze to death. So people doing ideological work came to my house every day, and finally saw my son and couldn't say anything. So those people did ideological work for the old man's grandchildren every day. Finally, the old man¡¯s grandchildren agreed to pay for their upbringing. Send the old man to a nursing home.
Because Wen Wan saw this incident on the show, but it was true. This incident shocked Wen Wan greatly. So the memory is very deep.
This is still the case in modern times, let alone the ancient society where filial piety was respected. Dingping Xiangxi was so poor that he had no food to eat, so he borrowed money from everywhere to live. She is so poor that she goes to the streets to beg for food. When these things fall into the eyes of caring people, she will be the one who suffers the most. No one cares whether you broke off the relationship or not. My father had no money to eat or seek medical treatment, so he died of illness and starvation. Others would say she was too cold-blooded and ruthless. Instead of losing such a reputation and having his children and grandchildren criticized by others. It's better to solve it now and avoid worries later.
Shang Wei went to the outer gate of the princess's mansion and saw several large carts of things. I felt a little sad. Shang Wei returned to the Duke's Mansion with red eyes, "Father, you didn't see the princess's appearance. It makes me feel so uncomfortable. Fifth Uncle is going too far."
"This child has a heart of utmost filial piety. Wen Wan does this, which is really convincing. Well, why doesn't fifth brother know how to cherish such a good child?" The Duke of Guo will be completely on Wen Wan's side now. . First, what Wen Wan did was really touching, and he lamented why he didn't have such a filial daughter; second, the Duke of Guo was really angry with this younger brother, and if it hadn't been for him, Shang Wei wouldn't have been there during this period. He would suffer so many sarcastic words, and the Duke's government would not suffer many difficulties; thirdly, the Duke's gentleness in taking over these properties through Shang Wei was not without its connotation.
Shang Wei is now working under Wen Wan. Such a good job can be gone with just one word from Wen Wan. So, all in all, I still support Wenwan, and of course, I also have the intention of making friends. The meaning of Wen Wan's actions was very clear. Even if she broke off the relationship with her father and left the Heike family, the blood in Wen Wan's body was the blood of the Heike family, and this would never change.
The Duke of Guo looked at the list.?? stuff, very depressing. Mrs. Guogong said, "Go and invite Master Wu, Master Ninth and Mistress Ninth over, and tell them that Master Guo has something to do with them." It sounds like this thing will be returned to the Heng family, but it's not because they see Wufang now in a state of desolation. , return these things to the fifth room.
Ping Xiangxi looked at what the Duke of Guo had given him. When he saw clearly what it was, he had a vague suspicion in his heart.
"You have probably guessed it yourself. This is given to you by Wen Wan. She knows that your life is not as good as you want, and you don't even have money for medical treatment. She feels depressed. These are considered as money for your retirement. It is also considered as her money. It¡¯s my last bit of filial piety.¡± The Duke sighed heavily.
Ping Xiangxi was heartbroken and reacted fiercely, "Brother, I don't want it, I don't want it." He wouldn't want these things even if he died.
The Duke laughed, "You really don't want to. I know what your life has been like recently. You have been eating green vegetable leaves every day, and you can't even eat a piece of meat. I heard that Shang Lin watches you eat green vegetable porridge every day. He But the big fish and meat every day makes you sick. You really don¡¯t want it?¡±
Ping Xiangxi said firmly: "I don't want it. Even if I die of hunger and illness, I don't want it."
The Duke of Guo didn¡¯t know what to say at this time. Not sober when you should be sober, not confused when you should be confused. He said sarcastically: "If you don't want to, I won't force you. These things can be confiscated. By the way, the deeds of the house you live in are all there. If you don't want to take them, just move out as soon as possible. By then, there will be more than a dozen of you in the family. Just wait until you end up living on the street. When the time comes, everyone will look at you like a beggar and praise you loudly for your integrity.¡±
Ping Xiangxi looked at his son. Look at the eldest daughter-in-law. Wen Wan really took the house back. Where to live as a family. Ping Xiangxi is fighting fiercely.
"Shang Qi, tell me." The Duke looked at Shang Qi and asked.
"Dad. If you really don't want it, we will push it away tomorrow. I will rent a few rooms outside. Let's stay together. When Shang Tang comes back, we will send you to Shang Tang's house. You will stay there in your later years. There is no need to worry." Shang Qi said his thoughts. In fact, he was also forcing Xiang Xi to make a decision. Your house is full of gentle people, now let¡¯s talk about integrity. What have you been doing?
Shang Qi has been having a hard time these days. It is absolutely impossible to say that I am not angry. But no matter what, Ping Xiangxi is his biological father. He didn't dare to say it. I can only endure all the pressure silently. But he also felt heartbroken when he saw his wife and son living a hard life.
The Crown Prince¡¯s wife standing next to her took the eldest lady¡¯s hint and muttered, ¡°Go to Master Jiu¡¯s. Is there any difference between asking for something from Wen Wan?¡± Although her voice was very soft, it could still be heard by everyone. This is true. Shang Tang had entered the fifth house worthless. Ping Xiangxi didn't spend a penny to buy property for Shang Tang.
"Lao Wu, you are so blessed that you don't know how to cherish it! What a wonderful child. At this point, I am still worried about your lack of food and clothing. Selling these things is enough to ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. Lao Wu, I I really don¡¯t know what to say about you. We are both your children, so why do you treat them so differently? Although there are many partial parents in the world, there is no need to give it back if you really don¡¯t want it. Wen Wan said, don't just turn this into public property, the same goes for the house. I will sell these things and buy more to benefit future generations.
Seeing her father-in-law's hesitation, Mrs. Miao was really afraid that they wouldn't want her. "Father, my husband, if you don't want it, I will. Father-in-law, if you don't want it, our whole family will have to sleep on the street. I'm not afraid of suffering, but I can't let my children suffer." . If you are afraid of having a bad reputation, just tell the public that I want it.¡±
It¡¯s okay to just hang on without getting it done. Now that there is obviously a chance, why don¡¯t you want these things? Moreover, if this matter spreads, no one will be willing to help them in the future. Even for her children, she had to get these things.
The Duke of Guo looked at Ping Xiangxi and said: "Lao Wu, these things are for your old age. If you want them, they will be given to you. If you don't want them, they will be merged into public property. I will buy the sacrificial fields. You should do it for the clan." Good thing."
Ping Xiangxi thought about his grandson hiding in his house, just to save some money. My hands were covered in frostbite and I had no money to buy medicine. Finally, he nodded.
Shang Wei handed Miao a red lacquered pear wood box with begonia flowers carved on it. The Duke of Guo looked at Miao with a bright look in his eyes. "Xiao Jiu, I give you these properties. I hope you can make the fifth child enjoy a peaceful and prosperous life. If you fail to do so, you will know the consequences yourself." Although the father-in-law's words were calm, his calmness was full of threats.
Miao gave a guarantee right away. In such difficult days, she stayed close to the old man. When you are rich, you will not be harsh. thisNot only because Miao is not a stingy person, but also because she knows what should be done and what is more important.
No one can understand the look on Ping Xiangxi¡¯s face. Then, Wei Wei was helped back by Shang Qi.
The Duke's wife was thinking about her eldest daughter, but she felt extremely distressed. "Well, the fifth child is so blessed that he doesn't know how to be blessed. He doesn't know how to cherish such a good daughter, and he will regret it in the future. Pity my Qinghe." Master, can you please talk to Shang Wei and ask him to arrange an errand for his brother-in-law at Guangyuan Bank?" Qinghe's life has been difficult since he was deprived of his title. It was better at first in the General's Mansion. But since leaving the General's Mansion, life has become difficult. Bai Shihua drank wine all day long. Qinghe takes care of all the family's burdens. If it weren't for the support from the Duke's wife, I don't know how I could survive this day.
The Duke of Guo shook his head, "It won't work, Shang Wei has already said it. The control of Guangyuan Bank is very strict, and those who enter are carefully selected and have to pass the assessment. Those who fail to pass will not be able to enter. Several princes want to squeeze a few people in. , Wen Wandu said that everything was done in accordance with the regulations. Some time ago, a group of people were cleared out. You don't know that Shi Hua will definitely not be able to get in through normal channels. But if Shang Wei goes through the relationship, what happens? If something happens, even Shang Wei will be implicated. Such a good job has caught Wen Wan's eye. You want to ruin your son's future. Not to mention that Shang Wei can get thousands of taels of money every year. wages, and bonuses at the end of the year. I won¡¯t have to worry if my son is separated in the future. In addition, I got inside information from many auction houses. The mansion made a lot of money.
"Look what you said, that's my son. I can still harm my son. That's what I said, if it doesn't work, then think of other ways." The Duke's wife lowered her head.
The Duke of Guo also had a headache. "Fortunately, the Bai family still has Bai Shinian to count on. Unlike the Xu family. There is no hope. Hey, those people in the Xu family don't know how to make progress. What will they do in the future." After all, they are in-laws, and they come to the door when they need help. The eldest lady looks at her mother's family and wants to be even.
"The Xu family still has Jingqiu they can count on." Mrs. Guo Gong said with expectation.
The Duke of Guo shook his head, "Men are of no use, so what's the use of a woman locked up in a deep palace. If she is gentle, it's possible. She, it's impossible."
The eldest lady doesn¡¯t think so. ¡°Everything is uncertain. Jingqiu has given birth to the thirteenth prince. The Xu family will really have to rely on her in the future.¡±
The Duke of Guo is very down-to-earth now. Without beating around the bush, he said to the lady, "There is no hope. Even if a daughter of a criminal family gives birth to a son, she will be a concubine. Don't think about it. You don't know how much the current Saint has suffered for this." If Wen Wan hadn't looked exactly like him, people would have doubted his origin, and the late emperor would have found out that he was the biological son of Queen Shengyuan. Who would be the emperor now, and who would be the traitor? , I don¡¯t even know yet! So, you¡¯d better advise your brother to be more pragmatic and teach the children of the clan to gain a future through the imperial examination. Only in this way can the family be truly revitalized.¡± The Duke of Guo deeply understood that the prosperity of a family depends on the talents within the family. What's the use of relying on a daughter? No matter how useful it is, the daughter is still someone else's. Men are the key to supporting the family.
Mrs. Miao looked at the items on the list, thinking that these items were from the Duke's Mansion. I begged the people who came to deliver things from the princess's mansion not to unload the things. Take it directly to Guangyuan Auction House.
The person who gave the gift felt funny in his heart. Things that have just been delivered will be sold immediately. Who are these people!
Miao did this because she was worried. Naturally, no one would dare to mention these things in Wen Wan's hands. Now Wenwan returns him to the fifth room. What if the Taira people regret it. Of course, the Duke's Mansion, the second bedroom, and the fourth bedroom will not come to ask for it. But the three-bedrooms and three-bedrooms are now so poor that they live in North Street (the east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is humble. Bajing Hutong belongs to the west). If the people in Sanfang knew Wenwan, they would return something worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. It would be strange not to ask for it.
Mrs. Miao knows Ping Xiangxi¡¯s temperament very well. Waiting for the people from the third room to come and ask for it, it won't happen twice. But after three times, I will definitely agree. These are dog-skin plasters. Once you taste the sweetness, you will never give up.
After Yao knew about it, he would definitely come to share it. Based on his understanding of Ping Xiangxi, it was absolutely necessary to give out half. She definitely didn't want to take advantage of that bitch.
Miao sent the things to the auction house and made a contract. She immediately went to the Yamen and changed all the property deeds to her name. She didn't want to think of selling the house when Yao encouraged Ping Xiangxi.
Yao and Ping Xiangxi didn¡¯t know the meaning of this house, but she knew it. Why is it that when Wufang is in a state of poverty, others look down upon him and ridicule him, but no one adds insult to injury. Just because of the house. Because the house is Wenwan, it was left behind by Wenwan. No matter the princess is because of her full nameBecause of the last bit of blood and affection, Wen Wan didn't dare to let them go, and others would have scruples. Otherwise, the Ping family members would tear the father-in-law apart.
Shang Qi left his job. The shopkeeper's sarcastic remarks: "You really have to quit my job. Don't regret it. There are many people competing for such a good job. I hired you because you have been an official and know many people. Since You have to climb another branch, and don¡¯t regret it if you leave.¡±
"Give me half a month's wages." Shang Qi endured his anger and wanted back his hard-earned money of 5 taels for half a month. But he didn't take the money, and he was scolded by the shopkeeper and returned in a panic.
After coming back, I heard that Miao had taken all the things Wen Wan sent to Guangyuan Auction House. Shang Qi was surprised and asked Miao what he was doing.
Miao naturally did not dare to say that he was guarding against your third uncle. And your younger brothers and sisters. He just said, sell the things quickly and get living money so that you can buy an interest-generating property. These are dead things, kept at home. It can only be a decoration.
Shang Qi thinks this is right. So Miao Shundao also changed the title deed of the house to his own name.
Mr. Miao had his own way of saying: "Ms. sir, it's not like you don't know your father-in-law's temperament. I won't say it before. Now that I have the deed of the house in hand, what if Mr. Yao tries to trick his father-in-law into selling the house again? Mr. Miao. . The people around this place are wealthy people. It¡¯s a first-class place. If you don¡¯t have status and connections, you can¡¯t buy a house here. If Mr. Yao¡¯s father-in-law really sells the house, we will. Money. You can¡¯t buy a good house here.¡±
Shang Qi was a little worried: "I know you are doing it for the good of this family. You are also aware of my father's temperament. It may have been nothing at first, but as time has passed and people have talked to you too much, I may have misunderstood you again. I have always misunderstood you in the past. You are finally feeling better now, and I don¡¯t want to make you suffer like that again because of this matter.¡±
After hearing this, Mrs. Miao felt warm in her heart. He took Shang Qi's hand and said, "My husband, as long as you and the child are fine, it doesn't matter if I suffer some grievances. It's not that I'm impatient, it's just that I'm worried. My husband, you also know the ridiculous things they do."
Shang Qi nodded. Thinking about the ridiculous things he did before, Shang Qi was also frightened: "You should take a break first. I'll go tell dad now. I'll tell you later that it was my idea, and you will do what I say. When dad asks, You said the same thing. Dad knows that he will only scold me a few times and will not express his anger on you. "My son and my wife are different." In this way, Ping Xiangxi won't be too angry.
Mrs. Miao smiled sweetly after hearing this: "Okay."
Ping Xiangxi knew that Miao had sold all the house deeds and land deeds and put them in her own name. I definitely feel unhappy.
Shang Qi directly named his father's soft heart, which made Ping Xiangxi speechless. Finally, Shang Qi said: "Dad, I am relieved that the property deed is in Ruoying's name. Dad, the properties I plan to purchase in the future will also be placed in her name."
Ping Xiangxi felt uncomfortable after all. I was scared by what happened last time.
Chun Niang smiled at the side and said: "Master, I see everything the second grandma treats you. These days, although the family is not rich, but they have food and clothing, the second grandma always takes care of you first. I couldn't be more filial than to come here with you. Master, although these things are in the name of the second grandma, it doesn't matter. In the future, these properties will not belong to Master Sun. Moreover, the second grandma can also handle these mundane tasks. If we take care of it, our life will get better and better. We won't have to let Mr. Yao take care of it."
Ping Xiangxi remained silent. This matter is over.
Shang Qi began to go out to look for land. The land outside the capital was priced but not marketable. Because it is difficult to buy a field unless things happen for a reason.
Shang Qi searched outside for a long time, but couldn't find it. It was Miao's younger brother. Master Miao asked someone to find out after he found out. By chance, there happened to be a family who needed a large sum of money because of an accident, so they had to sell their property. There is a house, two shops, and fifteen yards of land. If you can buy it all at once, we will give you a preferential price. It will cost about thirty thousand taels of silver.
Miao asked Shang Qi to see it in person. Shang Qi came back and told Miao that the farm was a bit far away, but it was not bad. And it also connects several mountains and forests.
Mrs. Miao thought about it and asked her brother's opinion, and the two discussed it. I think it's quite appropriate. Miao was very courageous and knew that there was no store like this after passing this village, so she first went to Guangyuan Bank and borrowed 30,000 taels of silver using the property in the auction house as collateral. After taking the money, Miao bought these properties.
After getting all the things, Miao breathed a sigh of relief. With these industries, we no longer have to worry about life being difficult. Take good care of it and the days will get better and better.
The things were not delivered to Ping Mansion, so Yao got the news three days later. If we send someone immediatelyHe inquired about the news and asked what was going on. After knowing that Wen Wan had sent a large number of priceless goodies, he immediately pulled Shang Lin over.
Yao shi begged hard. Shang Lin was also begging bitterly beside him, hoping to be forgiven by the old man. "Dad, we were wrong before. You can beat or punish us. We know we were wrong. Shang Lin is also your biological son. You are the master." You have great forgiveness and forgive us.¡±
Ping Xiangxi scolded angrily, "I don't care about you. How we lived in the past will be how we live in the future." That was the case last time. When Mr. Yao accused and scolded Huai, his son couldn't help but even tried to persuade him, and his heart became cold. Seeing my son sincerely admit his mistake now is comforting. Just, that's all.
A person¡¯s nature is hard to change. Although there is Chun Niang fanning the flames. The wind is blowing. But half a month later, Ping Xiangxi generously forgave Shang Lin.
In the past half month, all the things we pulled over have been auctioned off. Price after auction. There were more than Miao had imagined. A total of fifty-eight thousand taels were sold. After deducting the 30% handling fee, there is still more than 40,000 taels. After paying back the principal and interest on the loan, Miao still had ten thousand taels of silver in hand.
Miao also saw that she still had money on hand. There¡¯s some business to do first. The farm can only be the foundation. Only by doing business can you have more living money.
Ping Xiangxi knew that Miao was a good person in managing the family. Although he felt a little confused, in the end, he remained silent. After knowing that he had bought interest-bearing properties and shops, with help from his in-laws, he stopped asking.
Before Shang Lin found out what it was at home, it had already been spread outside. Wenwan gave Ping Xiangxi something worth nearly 100,000 silver for his retirement. Yao heard the rumors outside. Eyes glowing.
Yao family only thinks about how much money is in Miao family's hands. She could only listen to the rumors outside every day and couldn't see anything. My heart hurts so much. So Shang Lin was made to cry in front of Ping Xiangxi every day.
Ping Xiangxi was a little shaken, Miao didn't agree! If you have money, you can eat and drink hot food. He also slapped my maid to greet me. Now I want to come and occupy the industry. Two words, dreaming.
Yao knew that he had bought the land. I just want Shang Lin to take charge of the farm. But the Miao family already had a countermeasure. The manager of the farm was hired by Young Master Miao, and he was a member of the Miao family. Those people are simply not the same as others.
Shang Lin couldn¡¯t exert any effort. Mrs. Yao simply shouted that she wanted to separate the family, and Mrs. Miao couldn't help laughing after hearing this. Separation of families has already happened before. If we want to divide the family now, it is impossible to divide the property in the wife's name. Shang Qi vaccinated Ping Xiangxi, and all the purchased properties were placed in Miao's name.
"Madam, how about we give them the deed of the courtyard where they live? After all, he is also my father's biological son and my biological brother." Shang Qi is so annoyed by these days every day that he really wants to be quiet for a while. Just be clean for a while. I couldn't help but told my wife.
Miao had her own idea, "Ms., I'm not a petty person. Don't you know what kind of character Yao is? If you promise to give him the house deed today, she will have the shop tomorrow, and she will share it next time." Land. Besides, if I give them the deed, I will definitely sell it in two days. At that time, I will try to sell my father-in-law's yard. I'm not a stingy person. I'll give them the property deed of their courtyard after a hundred years." But nothing will happen if Ping Xiangxi dies. When Ping Xiangxi is here, the word "filial piety" makes people breathless.
Shang Qi had a headache, "But if you make such a fuss, the family will not be clean." Men actually hide from these things whenever they can. It¡¯s really annoying!
Miao smiled and said the good news, "Ms. sir, I have already gone to beg my father. He said that the mother of a governor in the General Affairs Department passed away and he had to observe filial piety, so his vacancy was vacated. He said that he would find some connections. , put it into operation, and spend some money to manage it, I guess there will be no problem. "The Governor of the General Affairs Department is a seventh-grade official. Shang Qi's reputation has not been eliminated. As long as it works properly, it can be restored at any time.
"Really, but will it be the same as last time?" As soon as what happened last time came out, his position was taken away by his superior for some reason. He also knew in his heart that he definitely didn't want to offend Wen Wan and was afraid that the emperor would be angry. Now, I am just looking for another job, just in case, it will be in vain.
"Don't worry, since the princess can send things here, it means that she is no longer jealous. Those people will not go too far, otherwise my father will not find someone for you. Also, father told me, Brother will be back in a few months. When that time comes, those people won¡¯t dare to embarrass you, and you won¡¯t have to worry about other things when you go on errands every day.¡± Mrs. Miao is not afraid that Mrs. Yao will make trouble with her.
"How much money will it cost? How can our family get as much money now?" Shang Qi was a little worriedSaid heartily. When looking for errands, you definitely need money to help. Now money has been used to buy property. Where is the money to smoothen the relationship?
Mrs. Miao smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that."
Miao made a deliberate trip to Guangyuan Trading Company on the second day. In fact, she went to get the money. The more than 10,000 pieces of silver were stored in the bank. After returning, Mrs. Miao deliberately let people out, saying that she had taken the deed of the courtyard where Mr. Yao lived and went to the bank to pledge the money. Can't afford it. People from the bank will come to collect the house when the time comes.
When Yao got the news, he made a big fuss, crying and mumbling that people from the bank would kick them out in a few days. I can't tolerate their family.
Ping Xiangxi got the news and was a little angry at the moment. After all, he is his own son. How can he drive his son to sleep on the street? What Miao did was a bit too much.
After Mrs. Yao finished crying, Mrs. Miao explained the matter slowly and clearly. Shang Qi didn't believe Yao's words from the beginning. His wife had already promised to give the deed to their father a hundred years later, so how could she do this behind his back?
When Ping Xiangxi heard that he was looking for a job for his son, he took out a loan from the house deed of Qingyaju where they lived. I blushed a little at the moment. I felt a little embarrassed towards Miao, but even more disgusted towards Yao. Knock everyone out immediately.
As soon as An knew it, life was getting better now. I begged Miao, "Daughter-in-law, I beg you. Send someone to inquire about Qingshan. If she is not doing well, please let her come back. Now that the family's life is getting better, do you think it can be redeemed?" She's back. Cough, cough, cough."
Mrs. Miao was very angry, "Mother-in-law, you said that. What does redemption mean? We are marrying off our sister, not selling her off. This job was done by my father after a long time dragging him down and spending a lot of money to find it. This is what I need to say." Spread the word, my husband is not going to be a man anymore."
Anshi begged, "Cough, cough, cough. I said the wrong thing. You send someone to check on Qingshan. If it's hard for her, try to find a way to get her back. Just think of it as me begging you. Okay."
"Okay, I'll send someone to find out the news tomorrow. But I won't let him go. My wife, I can't do anything. Mother-in-law, take good care of yourself." If Miao wasn't in Shang Qi's way and was afraid of others gossiping, she wouldn't care about her. of life and death. How much grievance had he suffered back then.
After Xiaohuan came out, she couldn't help but sigh, "I saw the old lady lying on the bed lingeringly, drinking medicine every night, and worrying about her daughter every day. I looked at you in the past, Miss, how majestic and awe-inspiring I was back then. Where? You will know what happened today.¡±
"My mother-in-law committed suicide in prison at that time, but was saved by the jailer. After all, she was the one who had to suffer so many crimes." Miao shook her head. This can be considered retribution! If he died directly in prison, it would be considered a good death.
"What a coincidence, he was not rescued by the jailer. He didn't have to suffer so much. I really don't know if God is merciful or cruel." Xiaohuan sighed unintentionally.
Miao shuddered after hearing this. After a while, she asked carefully, "Xiaohuan, if a person tries to kill you three times and kills your most beloved person. And you Just one word can make her die without a burial place. Will you let her go without taking revenge and let her live freely? "
Xiaohuan took over the words smoothly, "I'm stupid, I killed my dearest person. If I don't cut her body into pieces to treat such an enemy, it's hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart."
"Yes, anyone else would kill him quickly." Miao said in an understatement. But my heart was in turmoil. She had always wondered why Wen Wan knew that her mother-in-law had harmed her repeatedly. She could kill her mother-in-law with just one word. But she didn't, she acted as if nothing had happened.
Thinking back carefully now, since Wen Wan gained power. First it was Aunt Bailing, then Aunt Fan, then herself, and then Chun Niang. Since then, Anshi has never had a comfortable day. After that, life was even more miserable.
The gentleness is really intentional. He deliberately wanted to make An's life worse than death. If all this could be arranged by Wen Wan, that would be terrible.
Miao¡¯s face turned a little pale. The princess is not as pure and filial as the world sees her, but there are a lot of things going on inside.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Xiaohuan saw that Miao's face looked ugly and asked hurriedly.
"No, I was thinking that the princess is not a simple person." Miao smiled bitterly.
Xiaohuan was a little surprised, "Miss, you said that the palace is the most complicated one. And we don't often hear our master say that the king's heart is unpredictable. The princess is a simple person, and he can be so loved by the late emperor and the current majesty. There must be something." A thoughtful person.¡±
"Yes, the palace is not easy, and the princess is not easy either." Hearing what Xiaolou said, Miao breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at this situation, the princess didn't take them to heart. No??, they all died long ago.
It didn¡¯t go beyond Miao¡¯s expectation. After the third room heard that Wenwan returned the things that were originally allocated to her, she clamored for redistribution.
The third master, Ping Xiang Hui, has died in prison. All three families were demoted as common people. Therefore, the days of counting the third room are the most difficult now. Now I have eaten the last meal but not the next one. Life is worse than the previous five-bedroom house. They only care about getting money, and they don't care about being embarrassed or not. Mrs. Tong and her son came to cry every day, crying to make Ping Xiangxi pity them.
Ping Xiangxi felt dizzy when he heard Tong's cry. After seeing him for the first time, he didn¡¯t dare to see him for the second time. Thinking about his brother's fate, if he didn't have Wenwan, this would be his fate too. I was so scared that I was sweating all over. I feel very happy in my heart, but after the happiness I feel guilty, unparalleled guilt.
Mrs. Miao knows that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Don't even think about sending away the Tong family without giving out a cent. But if you want her to do more, don't even think about it. So I was doing Tai Chi here.
Under Master Miao¡¯s operation, Shang Qi also took up a post in the General Affairs Department. Because of Wen Wan's behavior, everyone understood it. Although the princess has severed ties with the Taira family, she still doesn't want Wufang to live in poverty. No matter how much I hate him, he is also his biological father. Everyone also praised this.
Shang Qi goes to work as an errand. He is an honest and capable person, so he must be conscientious and conscientious. Others didn't give him too much trouble. Shang Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Poor Ping Xiangxi, now he is huddled in the mansion every day, not going anywhere. Because he is too embarrassed to go out now. What gave him a headache was that Yao brought Shang Lin here every day to plead for mercy. He said that Shang Lin could not be allowed to idle around like this every day. Gotta find something to do. Ping Xiangxi was beaten until his head was broken.
Mrs. Miao will never let Shang Lin get involved in her shop and property. So the two sisters-in-law pinched each other openly and secretly. Yao didn't know how to behave, and he once did some despicable things. He will definitely not be able to defeat the Miao family.
The Chun Niang beside him always reminds him intentionally or unintentionally that the bricks and tiles you live in now, the food and clothing you use, are all given by the princess. Ping Xiangxi's life has become richer, but the guilt in his heart keeps pace with the times.
So, I dreamed of Princess Fuhui. Then the next day he went to visit Princess Fuhui's grave. After that, every few days, Ping Xiangxi would visit Princess Fuhui's grave. Of course, this is a story for another day. (To be continued)
