New widow

"Outside, I don't know how to live the life outside." The maid said confusedly. She looked up, with a confused look on her face. Suqiao looked at her: "Your brother has always been outside and never entered the house. Why? Do you think you won’t be able to live a good life outside?”

"Brother doesn't know how to make money." The maid blurted out, Suqiao smiled: "If you don't know how to make money, and your family has to be supported by your parents, then why are you getting married and having children?"

"I..." The maid didn't know what to say. Suqiao looked at her: "Go back and tell your parents that those clothes and jewelry can be used to exchange for some silver and buy some property. You can live your life no matter what. Go down." The maid still bit her lower lip and said nothing. Suqiao smiled faintly: "This house has accumulated a lot of money, and everyone just wants to get more. Don't wait until then. If you have a life, you can catch it, but you can't spend it."

"Madam, these words are not very auspicious." The maid said boldly, Suqiao looked down at her: "Not very auspicious? You have to know that things in this world cannot be solved by just saying a few auspicious words. Well, again, it’s not like saying a few unlucky words will make things worse.”

The maid still looked at Suqiao, and Suqiao sighed: "Since your sister-in-law came in to kowtow and received 20 taels of silver, I will also reward you with 20 taels, which will be regarded as your dowry."

"Madam, I, I..." The maid's face turned red and she didn't know what to say, but Suqiao had already walked inside. Madam Huang said softly to the maid: "Go back and talk to your parents to see if it's this Manager, now, take the money and go to your small farm. No one else knows where the farm is. You can live there peacefully.

child. "

"The farm only has [-] acres of land. According to my brother, it is only enough for their family to live." The maid said in embarrassment. Madam Huang poked her finger: "You, you really have to work as a maid in this deep courtyard. Do you know how much rice or noodles cost? A farm of one hundred acres can support the whole family, let alone your five hundred acres. Go back quickly."

The maid was about to shed tears again, but she could only nod her head, stand up and leave. Madam Huang waited for the maid to leave, then walked into the upper room, where Suqiao was drinking tea. Seeing Madam Huang walk in, Suqiao smiled faintly: "I didn't know about the five hundred acres of farmland. These housekeepers, Everyone is a rich man."

"That farm was promised to him by the Duke of the State." Madam Huang only said this, as if she was waiting for Su Qiao to give up. Suqiao also smiled: "Yes, a farm is enough for their family to live."

Suqiao said this, which means that she will not pursue the farm. Madam Huang felt relieved: "Madam, you just said that rewards and punishments must be done. Now, is the punishment done, and where is the reward?"

"Don't worry." Suqiao clicked on the account books: "There are still many accounts to look at."

Check the account? Madam Huang is no stranger to those accounts, but how many more days will she have to wait for this account? Madam Huang was still thinking when she heard Su Qiao say calmly: "During this period, there will probably be a lot of rumors. You don't have to defend me. Anyway, this is all my own choice."

"Yes!" Madam Huang could only respond. Suqiao looked down at the account books. There were too many people enjoying prosperity in this mansion, but few of them were willing to really worry about it.

, after all, worrying will bring a bad reputation. Otherwise, Suqiao wouldn't have operated on that old man.

The old man's house was not far from the Duke's Mansion. It was a two-entry house, and was also served by a maid and a wife. When his wife came in and out, everyone had to call her aunt. Mr. Song came back with his men and the old man. As soon as he entered the door, his mother-in-law rushed up: "I heard that that woman wants to use us as a raft and drive us out?"

"Master's order, why, do you still want to resist?" Mr. Song first looked at the house and saw that the house was well repaired. He thought that he and Su Qiao would take over the house so that he could give it to him. His son lived, so Mr. Song shouted.

"There are people in the imperial court who are confiscating the house. How come you guys are also confiscating the house?" The woman was crying and crying, wishing she could have a quarrel with Mr. Song. Mr. Song maintained his identity and did not quarrel with the woman. He led people to the main room and saw several things placed in Duobao Pavilion at a glance, especially a mountain of Tianhuang stone. I remember that Song An had admired it before, so he thought that Song An would reward it to the old man.

So Mr. Song held the mountain in his hand, played with it, and said to everyone: "You also understand what Madam means. You are only allowed to take away 100 taels of silver, clothes and jewelry, and no other things."

Seeing that Mr. Song was not going to change his mind, the old lady had already thought about going in to pack her things. However, when she heard that she could only take away her clothes, jewelry and 100 taels of silver, but not anything else, she burst into tears. : "How could such a thing happen? These things are all

It is what we have accumulated over the years, and we are not allowed to take it away from there. "

"Go and clean it up. All the clothes and jewelry have been taken away." The old man knew that there was no room left, so he could only give instructions in a hoarse voice. The woman was crying and wanted to order the maid to clean up. Mr. Song had already waved his hand: "This maid, Did you buy it?"

"Yes!" The old man's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. Mr. Song's smile added a bit of pride: "This maid is not allowed to be taken away."

Even this old man is a servant of the Duke's mansion, not to mention his maid. The maid was stunned for a moment: "If I don't follow them, who will I follow?"

"Of course I'm going back to the Duke's mansion." Mr. Song said calmly, urging the old man to pack his things quickly.

The clothes had a lot of jewelry, and the mother-in-law was worried that Mr. Song would suddenly change his mind, so she put on a few clothes on her body and covered her wrists with jewelry, so she took the jewelry box and wrapped it up with a few clothes.

"Have everything been packed up?" Mr. Song asked casually, playing with the mountain in his hand. Ever since I married the old man, my mother-in-law has never been so angry in this palace. Seeing Mr. Song ask this, my mother-in-law asked Zi wanted to bite Mr. Song a few times, but he didn't dare to bite him. He could only swallow his anger and say: "Yes."

"Then..." Mr. Song was just about to let them leave when he saw Sister-in-law Liu and his wife coming in. When he saw Sister-in-law Liu and his wife, the old man's eyes lit up: "Do you want us to stay?"

"Madam asked us to come here to see what is in this house. We also need to make a list and send it up." Sister-in-law Liu's man, known as Manager Liu, said to the old man

said laughingly.
