Zhang Yun's ancient life

Second Grandma Liao's natal family heard that Guan Rong was asking for the dowry, and they followed her to the door the next day. Their family thought very well and said that they were all daughters-in-law of the Xu family. Since you can get Guan Rong's If the dowry is given, then they can also give their girl's dowry, even if it is only a part of it, it is okay, it is better than nothing at all.

Unexpectedly, they had just arrived at the door, and before they could finish speaking, they were driven out by a group of servants from the Gao family brandishing sticks.

The Gao family is full of anger now, and it is imperative to return some of Guan Rong's dowry. Their family's backing is too strong, and the Gao family can't afford it, but the Liao family is no joke Ah, dare to go to the door of their house to chatter, don't show any color, really think that the Gao family are all vegetarians.

The Liao family who were kicked out were very unconvinced. They argued with the Gao family at the door, asking them why they paid back Guan Rong's dowry but not their girl's. If you mess with them, you can only show your prestige to ordinary people like them.

After hearing the question, the Gao family spat back: "The wife who comes in is the one who gets the dowry, the concubine who comes in is just a slave, and even the person belongs to the master's family, so where is there any dowry? The master was merciful to keep your girl, so hurry up and leave if you are in a hurry, we will go to Xu's house now, ask them to write a contract of sale, and sell your girl."

Although this is a bit exaggerated, there is still some truth. Although the Liao family is said to be the second wife, she is still the concubine of the Xu family in the documents of the Yamen. No one can control how the master's family will deal with it. A concubine has no natal family, and the concubine's natal family is not considered a relative. This has always been the rule.

The Liao family was shocked when they heard that, fearing that the Gao family could do what they said, they hurriedly supported each other and left, not daring to mention the dowry.

Even if the dowry matter of the daughters-in-law of the Xu family was settled, the Xu family still owed the Gao family silver. Excluding Guan Rong who used the dowry to repay the Xu family, there would be more than 1000 taels.

Because of Guan Rong's natal family, the Gao family did not dare to raise the interest rate anymore, but the 3000 taels were actually lent out, and there were witnesses for the IOU, so they were not afraid of going to the yamen to file a lawsuit.

Repaying debts is a matter of course, even Uncle Guan and the others can't say anything about it, let alone this is a matter of the Xu family, and they don't want to interfere at all.

All the money lent out has to be returned, this has always been the tradition of the Gao family, but the Xu family is really poor now, except for the dowry that Guan Rong brought back, they would not be able to get one more son.

Ordinarily, if anyone who wants to pay the bills meets such a family, he should be furious, but the Gao family doesn't have one. After a long time, Xu Juren was taken away.

This made many people who were waiting to see Xu's jokes dropped their jaws in shock, wondering what's the use of Gao's taking Xu Yan away?If he wants to leave, he should take away the two young daughters-in-law of the Xu family. The Guan family can't move, isn't there another Liao family?Is it still useful to take these two people away? Although Xu Yan is a big man, but he can't carry a basket on his shoulders, and there is nothing left except his poor taste. What was the use of taking him away?I haven't heard that anyone in the Gao family has any special hobbies?

Others can't figure it out, but the members of the Gao family are very shrewd. Their family runs more than a dozen gambling houses in Li County. This game makes money quickly. After decades of operation by two generations of the Gao family, the current Gao Although his family is not the richest man in Li County, he is definitely ranked among the top ten.

If a person has money, he will want to develop to a higher level, and the Gao family is no exception. Naturally, Mr. Gao who has money wants to let his grandchildren go to school.

How good it is to study, not only can you understand things, but you can also test for fame. With fame, you will have an official status. The Gao family is already very rich. , then the time when the entire Gao family will flourish is just around the corner.

What I thought was very good, but their family's reputation is really bad. The county school doesn't accept their children at all, let alone the private school. The gentlemen are ashamed to be with them. I heard that It's their children, and they don't even open the door to them.

Gao Jiaxin said that there is no one to teach, so I can pay for my teacher to come to my house. I know that scholars cherish their feathers. Their family's notice of recruiting private school teachers has been posted for a year, and even one who responded No.

The adults of the Gao family are really anxious this time. The children are growing up day by day. If they don’t study, they can succeed. Looking at the social status of the young and old in the family, they know how important reading is. It's too late, what's the delay, and it can't delay the child's study.

Just when the Gao family was at a loss for their children's study, the Xu family bumped into the door. The Gao family thought that Xu Yan's character was not very good, but he was selected by Juren at a young age anyway. There is definitely no need to pick knowledge, and now their family has no money, so why not arrest him and let him teach the children in the family to read. Their family is not picky about character, anyway, people like them, I never planned to ask a gentleman to come out.

In this way, Xu Yan was taken away by the Gao family, and he was detained at home to teach the children to read. The Gao family said that they took care of food, housing, and clothes for the four seasons, and opened a small courtyard for him to live in alone. Mrs. Xu and Guan Rong are also welcome if they come over. They have no other requirements, but to teach children to read, let's teach them for 20 years first.

When something like this happened, how could Guan Rong not make a fuss, she didn't like the Xu family in the first place, and now she even made use of it, and wanted to make up with the quarrelsome ones.

It is impossible for the Xu family to agree to reconciliation. Their family has nothing now. If they want to survive, they can only rely on the dowry left by Guan Rong. Moreover, Mrs. Xu hates Guan Rong to the bone, how could this be the case? She wanted her to escape from the Xu family so easily, and she wanted Guan Rong to stay and suffer with her, so that she could relieve her hatred in her heart, so she insisted on Guan Rong's request for reconciliation. The jaw just won't let go.

On the side of Guan Rong's natal family, none of them agreed to this request. They finally sent this troublemaker out of the house, and now they want to come back. Not to mention the door, there is not even a window.

Guan Rong, who has no one to support her, is so weak that she can't make any big waves at all. After Mrs. Xu knew what the Gao family meant, she followed up with her package without saying a word. It's her son. Now that she's old, she can only rely on her son.

But Guan Rong doesn't want to go there at all, but she has no place to live now. The Xu family is sealed off, and her mother's family doesn't allow her. He also lived in Gao's house.

Mrs. Liao really wanted to follow her in, but the Gao family didn't want her. Just kidding, they kept Xu Yan because he wanted to teach the children. There was no way to keep Mrs. Xu. Who called her Xu Yan's old lady? If Xu Yan didn't support her, he would fight to the death with them. Anyway, their family was not short of food, so they acquiesced.

But what kind of onion are you, Liao, you are just a concubine. Didn’t you see that the wife of the main house is self-sufficient, dare to come to the door for us to raise, sleep too much and still haven’t woken up yet.

The Liao family was kicked out by the Gao family, and had no choice but to go back to her natal family. Her natal family came to find the Xu family, hoping that their family could write a letter about releasing concubines, which can be regarded as giving Liao a freedom.

Mrs. Xu has long hated the Liao family for not giving her son the money to run away from the government. How could she write a concubine release letter, just leave it there, don't even think about releasing the concubine letter, our Xu family is dead I want your daughter to be buried with her.

Because of the matter of Xu, Liao, and Gao's family, Qingshi Town was really lively.

But for Zhang Yun and his family, their affairs are just other people's affairs and have nothing to do with them. What Zhang's family is discussing now is the engagement banquet between the He family and the Yuan family.

The Yuan family is married to the He family, and the Zhang family is a big matchmaker, so they must be invited. The Yuan family has no relatives in Li County, and most of their friends are Yuan Bing's colleagues in the military camp. These bastards are making a lot of noise. , Yuan Bing absorbed Zhang Yun's experience and lessons from the engagement banquet, and this time the banquet was not at home, but in a restaurant in the county.

The population of their family is small, and they can't invite any helpers. If this guest is invited at home, it will definitely be turned on their backs. It is better to invite them to a restaurant. Although it will cost more money, it will save a lot of trouble. ah.

After Yuan's family invites them, it will belong to He's family. Their house is big enough and has enough manpower, so the engagement banquet will be held in his own home.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, it is written in the almanac that everything will be auspicious. The He family in Li County is welcoming guests today. This is their granddaughter's engagement banquet. People from the village, relatives and friends all rush to celebrate.

Guan Jing also came today, sitting at the main table in the living room, this table is already full, drinking tea and chatting, although the food is still not served, but the atmosphere is already very lively.

Sitting next to Guan Jing was the wife of Li County Chief Registrar, Mrs. Wang. When I saw her, I thought about it."

Guan Jing heard the words and replied: "Yesterday she played a bit late, and she didn't wake up when I went out this morning. I saw that she was sleeping soundly so I didn't disturb her, so I had to keep her at home and teach Aunt Ma and the others to take care of her. "

Mrs. Wang heard the words and said: "It's good if you didn't come. It's cold and windy today. It's not good for the baby. But it's your belly. I heard it should be five months old, right? Like six or seven months?"

Aunt Guan came to them and heard the words and replied: "Of course, the doctor said that the baby in the womb is twins."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang glanced at Guan Jing in surprise and said, "You are really blessed. Presumably your family, Zhang Qinwei, knows about it, and you must be crazy about it."

Guan Jing smiled slightly when she heard the words, but she didn't answer while supporting her tall stomach, but the satisfaction in her smile showed everything.
