New widow

In this way, it is true that Manager Liu is back. Song Zhen wanted to go out, but Xi'er stopped her: "Madam said, please ask the girl to wait for her here."

Also, although Mr. Song is an elder, Song Zhen cannot see him frequently. Song Zhen then sat down and let herself wash and change clothes with Chun Hua Qiu Yue serving her.

Su Qiao looked at the list in front of her without smiling: "Uncle, do you think I'm a fool?"

"What do you mean by treating you as a fool?" Mr. Song has gained a lot this time. He has three thousand taels of silver, two shops, and a thousand acres of good land. Mr. Song planned to keep most of it to give his concubine a son quietly, and then give the rest to Mrs. Song to buy a dowry for his daughter.

Now that he heard the bad meaning in Su Qiao's words, Mr. Song naturally pretended to be stupid. Su Qiao looked at Mr. Song and said, "I said at the beginning that you took 800% of the property and left [-]%. , leaving it to the girl as a dowry, but at this moment, there are only [-] taels of silver on the list, a shop, and [-] acres of land. How can these things not be enough for [-]%."

"If you don't believe it, just ask Manager Liu. He took care of this matter." How could Mr. Song spit out the things he got? Naturally, he had to rely on it until the end. When Manager Liu was called upon, he knelt down to Suqiao and said, "Yes, madam, when we arrived, the one raised by Master Shiyi outside had escaped at some point and took away a lot of gold and silver jewelry. These are all the extravagances she didn’t take away.”

"Okay, okay, Manager Liu, it seems that you are going to live up to your girl's expectations of you." Suqiao's face darkened, and Manager Liu hurriedly kowtowed.

Head: "Madam, everything I said to my wife is true, and I didn't dare to deceive her."

"Third brother and sister, why do you say this so harshly?" Mr. Song naturally wanted to pretend to be a good person and smacked his mouth: "There are only so many of these things. The Ministry of Punishment also said the same thing. Do you want more?" I said something else."

Su Qiao's teeth were almost broken: "How should I explain to Aunt Eleven?"

"She is a death row prisoner, what should she say?" Mr. Song didn't care, and then he frowned: "Besides, that family has already withdrawn from the marriage, and her brother has gone to Beijing with his child. .”

These things cannot be hidden from Mr. Song. When Manager Liu was doing this, he naturally told Mr. Song.

"Where are the people?" Su Qiao's words made Mr. Song think he had the wrong meaning, and he smacked his lips again: "I put them in the inn, and I will take the child with me later and let their nephew see him. , so many things are enough for them to survive in the future."

"So many things?" Suqiao raised an eyebrow, and Mr. Song nodded: "Of course it's a lot. Third brother and sister, if they want more, they can't."

There was already a threat in these words, and Suqiao smiled: "Okay, okay, until today, I know that outside of this, I am just like a crab without legs."

Mr. Song thought that Suqiao was threatened by his words, so he smiled and said, "Then I'll leave first. This journey will be very hard."

"No!" Su Qiao only said these two words coldly. Mr. Song left with great satisfaction. Manager Liu went to see Mr. Song off. Sister-in-law Liu turned around and walked to the study room and took out something from her sleeve.

A list: "Ma'am, here are those other properties."

Five thousand silver, fifteen hundred acres of good land, some clothes and jewelry, and, what surprised Suqiao the most, was a house outside the capital.

"Those shops, because no one was in front of them, simply sold them and exchanged them for cash." Sister-in-law Liu explained on the side, Su Qiao held the two orders in her hands: "They can't live with so much money. A lifetime."

You have a house, a field, and money. As long as you don't spend it lavishly, you can have enough food and clothing for three lifetimes. Sister-in-law Liu responded softly, and Suqiao thought for a while: "Go and tell the child that his uncle and sister have come to Beijing. I will take him out to see him tomorrow."

Sister-in-law Liu must have left. Su Qiao looked at the money listed on the two lists. This was the escape route left by Master Shiyi. Nearly ten thousand taels of cash, several shops, nearly [-] acres of farmland, and some land outside the capital. of a house. Master Shiyi really did everything he could, except for one thing, which was the human heart.

"Madam, it's late at night." Madam Huang's voice came from outside. Suqiao came back to her senses. She didn't know how long she had been sitting here, so Suqiao put the two sheets in her sleeves, stood up and walked out. .

"I know Madam is thinking about something, so I don't dare to disturb Madam." Madam Huang said respectfully, holding a lantern in her hand. Su Qiao smiled: "After a few days, when these things have been sorted out, I will let you out of the house."

"What the madam promised me was a farm and a few good maids?" Madam Huang seemed to be still unsure, Su Qiao looked at her: "You can take away any maid you like so that you can serve her.

you. "

"I remember when I first came in, I was still a little maid and had to serve others. Now, Madam said, I can also be served." Madam Huang's words were full of emotion, and Su Qiao's heart couldn't help but move: " You were married before and became a widow, why do you want to enter the palace again?"

"A widow with no property will be bullied outside." Madam Huang said with a smile. These words touched Su Qiao's heart. Su Qiao was such an orphan with no property.

"Besides, I don't want to get married again. Marrying once in a person's life is enough." Madam Huang said lightly. The husband and wife are loving and laughing, but those are rare times. Many times, Madam Huang is busy. I am busy at home and outside, serving my parents-in-law, and making clothes for the whole family when I have free time.

That day was much busier than serving the master in the mansion.

"If you had said this earlier, people would have said that you don't want to keep it, but you still want to marry again." After saying that, the smile on Suqiao's face couldn't help but freeze, because she was not a remarried person.

"Whether she stays or remarries, it's not up to us." Maybe it was because the night was hiding something, or maybe because she knew that Su Qiao was going to let her out, which made Madam Huang very happy, so Madam Huang's words were bolder than before.

Suqiao hummed, indeed, she couldn't help herself. When you want to keep it, your husband's family will marry you off for the gift of money. When you want to remarry, your husband's family will keep it for the sake of the chastity memorial.

And it is so difficult for a widow who has nothing in her hands to keep her integrity. She goes to wash clothes for others to get some food and clothing. With the money she gets, she must first honor her parents-in-law to show her filial piety on behalf of her husband. After struggling for so many years, I want to get

For the archway, you have to go to the officials first. Only when the officials nod their heads can you get an archway.
