Daming female local tyrant

When the Feng family shared the dowry left by the Tang family to Jing Lan and Cheng Ze, the Tan family was present, as were people from all the houses of the Lu family.

The total amount of silver is more than 13 taels, there are two shops, one silk factory, six houses, and one farm.

The Yuan family and the Qi family owed more than 2 taels each, so the Feng family called the Tan family, as well as Jing Lan and Cheng Ze, and said that she had asked Feng Guangsheng to continue to collect the Yuan family's debts, and estimated that the Yuan family would want the money. It will take a few days to figure it out.As for the granddaughter-in-law, Qi, who helped her grandson learn to be a good housekeeper, and managed Tan's dowry by the way, due to poor management, Qi's lack of more than 2 taels of silver was really unable to pay, so the Lu family took it out to make up for it.

Cheng Ze, Jing Lan, and the Tan family have no objection to this, saying that everything should be done according to the old ancestors.

Lu's family took out more than 2 taels of silver, plus the silver collected from Yuan and Qi, a total of more than 15 taels of silver, and Feng made the following distribution.

Now Yinjinglan and Chengze each share half, and each of them got more than 5000 taels of silver.

Two shops, a silk factory, and a house were all given to Jinglan, and Chengze got the farm and five houses.

For this distribution, the ancestors considered it.

Because Jing Lan has been with Miss Shen for a few years, she has learned all about the sale of silk, and in the dowry that Mrs. Tan left, there happened to be two silk shops and a silk factory. .

As for Cheng Ze, he is a scholar, and he will go into an official career in the future. He does not know how to do business, so if he is given a farm and a house, he only needs to send someone to collect the rent.

For such a distribution, both the Tan family, Jing Lan and Cheng Ze expressed satisfaction.

Mrs. Feng then handed over the bank deeds and house deeds to the two people respectively, and said, "From now on, you will manage the money your mother left you, and decide whether to spend it or keep it."

Jing Lan and Cheng Ze nodded and agreed.

Seeing that Jinglan and Chengze had successfully obtained their mother's dowry, the Tan family left and returned to Yangzhou.

Jing Lan and Cheng Ze went to see them off in person, and said they had time to go back to Yangzhou to see them.

Cai said with a smile: "Most likely the next time our family comes to Jinling, it will be to eat your siblings' wedding wine."

Both Jing Lan and Cheng Ze said it was not that fast.

But Cai said: "But we want to see you get married soon, otherwise I won't be able to settle down."

Regarding what their grandmother said, Jing Lan and Cheng Ze smiled, noncommittal, and only wished them a smooth journey and a safe and sound arrival in Yangzhou.

After the Tan family left by boat, Jing Lan and Cheng Ze returned to the Lu family.

The two discussed it in the carriage, and then waited for the people Shen Wan invited to find out whether the Qi family colluded with the grandmother's mother-in-law Xin family back then, and asked Zhang Tianshi to frame Jinglan.When it was really about to be found out, Cheng Ze went to find his ancestor and asked her to call the shots to seek justice for Jing Lan and his mother.

This time, the old ancestor dealt with the dowry left by their mothers fairly, so that both of them believed that if the old ancestor knew that it was the Qi family who colluded with Mrs. Xin and asked Zhang Tianshi to frame Jing Lan, the old ancestor would definitely handle this matter fairly. .

Jing Lan hadn't seen Shen Wan for nearly a month. After she got her mother's dowry and sent away the Tan family, she wrote to Shen Wan to meet her at the place that belonged to Shen Wan on the back street of Confucius Temple. Between houses.

The reason, what she told Cheng Ze was that she was going to see Shen Wan and ask the person Shen Wan hired to investigate how Zhang Tianshi framed her.

To the ancestors, it means that she and Cheng Ze went to the temple to restore the gods.

The old ancestor allowed the two of them to go together, and said that since the distribution of the dowry of their mothers was over, and the banquet to celebrate Jinglan's return was over, the two of them went to the temple to offer incense and reward the gods, and then they would study hard.Especially Cheng Ze, who has to prepare to go to Beijing next year to take the exam, so all the mundane affairs should be postponed.

Of course Shen Wan was happy to receive Jing Lan's letter asking her to meet, and she made preparations in advance.When the day came, she packed up and went to the weaving workshop first, then came out through the back door as last time, took Bai Ju and hired another carriage and went straight to the private house on the back street of Confucius Temple.

This time when Jinglan and Chengze came over, Shen Wan still asked the group of people from last time to accompany Chengze, and she met Jinglan in the back house.

After a lot of lingering affection, the two cuddled together and talked.

Jing Lan then asked: "Wanwan, let me ask you, the person you hired investigated Zhang Tianshi's framing of me back then, how did the investigation go? Now I can only investigate whether my mother was framed by the Qi family and died of hatred. It's not over. I really hope that this matter will be found out as soon as possible so that I can leave the Lu family."

Shen Wan said apologetically: "Lan'er, I asked someone to investigate. The wife Xin who you mentioned before your grandmother is dead, and there is only a man with a distilled nose in her family who never leaves the jug. A stupid son who has never been married. Her man went to ask him about things when he was drunk all day long, but he couldn't explain why. Zhang Tianshi has also been dead for seven or eight years. I don't know where I went to for a long time. Therefore, it is difficult to investigate this matter. People have said that it may be possible to find the confidant disciples under Master Zhang Tianshi before making any progress. However, it seems that they have some clues recently, there is a Taoist He is the confidant disciple of Zhang Tianshi back then, and they have already searched for it..."

Hearing some eyebrows, Jing Lan continued to ask Shen Wan: "So, how long do I have to wait?"

Shen Wan told her: "It will take about two months. The Taoist is now in a Taoist temple in the capital."

"Two months? Two months will be Chinese New Year. Even if I want to leave the Lu family, I can't leave for the Chinese New Year. It has to be the Chinese New Year. Even if the person you invited brought the Taoist to report to the ancestors about Zhang Tianshi and Mrs. Xin They colluded to frame me, and they can’t talk about it during the Chinese New Year. In this way, it may take three months to get a letter.” Jing Lan said a little depressed.

After hearing this, Shen Wan persuaded her to bear it, and three months passed in the blink of an eye. After all, Jing Lan's mother died suspiciously, and besides, Jing Lan was framed by Zhang Tianshi. Isn't the suffering in vain, and didn't her mother die in vain with hatred?

If you give up halfway now, leave the Lu family, and stop investigating, you will regret it later.

Jing Lan listened to Shen Wan's words, she hugged her tightly and said, "I really want to be with you as soon as possible, just like when we were in Suzhou."

Shen Wan stroked her hair and her face with her hand, and said softly: "I miss you more than you, I really think I won't let you go back right now."

When Jing Lan mentioned Suzhou, Shen Wan couldn't help but said that she and Jing Lan planned to go to Suzhou in the future, but now she doesn't want to go to Suzhou, it's a pity that she bought a house there.Because there are people he hates the most in Suzhou City, and his second uncle's family are all in Suzhou.Even though the old lady expelled Shen Shilian from the clan, asked him to leave the house with his wife and children, and stipulated that members of the Shen clan were not allowed to associate with Shen Shilian, but her second uncle ignored the old lady's regulations.Someone took Shen Shilian to live in Suzhou, and their family lived in the old house in Suzhou that she and Jing Lan made money to repair.The old lady gave her second uncle 2000 taels of silver every year. Although their family could not live as luxuriously as before, they had no worries about food and clothing.

"Your grandmother is really partial to your second uncle. Wanwan, you have to guard against them. They will not give up. I always feel that they will wait for an opportunity to counterattack. In the past, they secretly colluded with the Xiao family to harm you. Now They are afraid that they want to eat you, so we must prevent them from joining forces with the Xiao family who also hate you to take revenge on you." Jing Lan said worriedly after hearing Shen Wan's words.

Shen Wan stretched out her hand to smooth Jing Lan's frown, and comforted her not to worry, she had sent someone to keep an eye on her second uncle's family and Xiao's family at all times.She even wanted them to collude to take revenge on her, and take advantage of Hu Quan and his brother-in-law's power in the south of the Yangtze River to uproot them once and for all, so as to avoid future troubles.

Finally she said: "Until then, we will have a stable life."

Jing Lan thought about herself, she seemed to want to find out about Zhang Tianshi who framed her back then and caused her mother to die of illness, so she would go forward bravely and stay with Shen Wan for the rest of her life without any worries.

"Wanwan, since your second uncle's family has gone to Suzhou now, you don't want to go there, I think, let's go to Yangzhou in the future. My grandmother's family is in Yangzhou, and they treat me very well."

"Yangzhou? It's okay there, if you want to go there, we'll go there later."

"By the way, Wanwan, I have a lot of money now. Since I am determined to go to Yangzhou, why don't I use some money to buy a house in the city of Yangzhou, and a farm in the suburbs. If I want to live in the city, I can go there." You can live in the city, or you can live in the country if you want.”

"If you want to buy it, you can buy it. It's always good to buy more property."

"Then I will write to my grandmother and uncle and ask them to help me find a suitable house and farm. I think, I will go with you and Junpei in the future, and just live in a house with three or four entrances, too. When it gets bigger, it looks empty and unpopular..."

The two discussed together about buying a house and farm in Yangzhou, and put those worries behind them.

When Jing Lan was discussing with Shen Wan how to spend her money, someone was also thinking about Jing Lan's money.

Ever since the Feng family made the decision to share the dowry of their mothers between Jinglan and Chengze, soon the officials and wealthy households in Jinling City knew that the young lady brought back by the Lu family had a large sum of money. , as well as silk shops and silk factories.

They also heard that this Miss Lu family called Lu Jinglan was sixteen years old, she was very beautiful, and she hadn't settled on a marriage yet.Although this young lady who was carried out back then grew up in a farmer's family, she did not have the vulgarity of a farmer's girl at all, on the contrary she had an outstanding temperament.What's more, the younger brother of the young lady of the Lu family is the youngest Juren in Jinling in recent decades, and his future is boundless.

With all these things, Jing Lan suddenly became the favorite of those officials and wealthy couples in Jinling City who wanted to marry their sons.

Therefore, women from families related to the Lu family came to the door in an endless stream, recommending their sons, sons of relatives, and sons of friends to Feng, Yuan, and Qi.

Feng simply said that she wanted to stay with Jinglan for one or two more years. Although Jinglan was old, she didn't intend to make a marriage for her.

As for the Yuan family and the Qi family, it is not straightforward.

When Jing Lan returned to Lu's house, they were ruined. In the hearts of both of them, Jing Lan was an evil star.

The Qi family hated Jing Lan very much, and the Qi family directly hated Jing Lan, wishing that she would suddenly fall ill or die in an accident.

Of course they didn't want Jinglan to have a good marriage. On the contrary, they felt that Jinglan had to marry the worst family in order to vent their anger and relieve their hatred.
