Rebirth: Picking up a Little Husband

After a while, the door of Li's mansion opened, and Uncle Qiong and two servants came out from inside. Seeing the falling lantern, Uncle Qiong frowned.

In the past few days, the lantern has been falling out. In the past, it was changed every seven days, but now it is changed every day.

He picked up the lantern, looked at the empty eaves at the door, and told the boy, "Go get a new one, and you go to move the ladder."

"Yes, Uncle Joan."

As soon as he left, Uncle Qiong was the only one left at the door. The winter was so cold that people tightened their sleeves, and the floor seemed to be frozen, showing paleness.

The messenger was earlier than usual. Seeing Uncle Qiong, he stopped the carriage and handed over the letter from Li's residence to Uncle Qiong.

"I got up early today, I didn't expect Uncle Qiong to be so early, the boy from the past."

"The lantern at the door was blown off by the wind, and someone went to get a new one."

The visitor looked up and said with a smile: "Recently, good things in the mansion have come in pairs."

Uncle Qiong smiled and didn't answer, the two exchanged a few more words of greeting, and when the boy came out with the things, the visitor got into the carriage and went to the next house.

The new lanterns are brightly colored, but the old lanterns look dull in comparison due to the wind and rain. Even if they are only a day old, the difference can be seen.Uncle Qiong ordered someone to take another one, and simply replaced it with a new one.

There was a pile of letters, only the address and the name of the recipient were written on it. Uncle Qiong sorted them out and kept the letters from himself and the old lady, and arranged for the servant to deliver all the others.

He found a secluded place, pulled out the letter to himself, saw the symbol on it, Uncle Qiong frowned, Anxi hadn't written it for a long time.

Before he left, he had ordered not to report trivial matters, but now the letter seems to be urgent.

There is also a rice shop. He bought a clerk in the shop before and asked him to send a message back. Now it seems that it is indeed a wise move.

After careful consideration, he still had to read the letter with the old lady. He looked at the sky, got up and went to the old lady's courtyard.

The wintersweet in the small courtyard stands alone. It is the time when all the flowers are withering, but it is full of vitality.

The antique big bed with vermilion curtains complements the clothes of the old lady. The old lady just got up and was helped by the mother to eat.

It's cold outside today, so I used it indoors.

The maid who guarded the door came to say that Uncle Qiong had something to report, the old lady rinsed her mouth, asked someone to clean up, and nodded to Mammy.

Mammy went to open the door and let Uncle Qiong in.

"It's early in the morning, what's the matter?"

Hearing the old lady's plain and unremarkable words, Uncle Qiong was stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "It's a letter from Yinan."

The old lady frowned. Seeing that Uncle Qiong was holding the letter in his palm, bent over and buried his head, the old lady turned her head towards the nanny.

Mammy stepped forward to receive the letter, returned it and put it in the old lady's hands.

There was no signature on the letter, and the old lady frowned, "Who sent the letter?"

"The above letter is from Anxi, the servant of the second young master's courtyard. He used to do odd jobs in your courtyard. The bottom letter is from Mipu."

"Mipu?" The old lady remembered that Mipu was full of Zhang Xianglan's people, so why did she write to her suddenly?Although the stakes in the west of the city belong to her, but the name of the rice shop is not right, and when the power is divided from Zhang Xianglan's hands, then she doesn't need to be afraid of people's tongues when she does things.

Uncle Qiong explained, "It's a guy in the store."

The old lady nodded, "You did a good job."

"Thank you Madam for your compliment."

The envelope was complete and the texture was the same as before. The old lady tore open the envelope and took out the letter paper inside.

It was indeed Anxi's handwriting.

The old lady took a closer look, her sharp eyes narrowed, her brows were furrowed together, and her complexion became even uglier as she got further behind!

She slapped it on the table with a "bump", the teacup swayed twice and fell on the table, the tea in it flowed down the table to the ground, the mother stood aside, startled, and hurriedly asked for a handkerchief , will be wiped dry so as not to fall to the blanket on the floor.

The old lady was furious, she gritted her teeth and said: "Zhang Xianglan has raised good sons, each one is better than a prodigal!"

She quickly opened the second letter, and the more she read it, the more frightened she became, her chest heaved in anger, she pointed at Uncle Qiong and was speechless!

Mammy hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady calm down, "Old lady, Doctor Huang has warned you not to fluctuate too much, you are prone to stroke."

The old lady closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and gritted her teeth trying to calm down her anger.

It's not worth it to be so angry because of this little bastard!

Uncle Qiong had a puzzled face, not understanding what happened in the middle.

The old lady threw the letter to him, and said in a bad tone: "Look for yourself."

An Xi said in the letter: After Uncle Qiong left, the second young master played with her husband for a while, and the love between the two is important.But then I don't know what happened, and the second young master started to go to the gambling house again. In recent days, people who want debts always come to the door and ask the second young master to pay back the money.

If you don't pay back, let the second young master hand over the house deed to pay off the debt.

For the valuable furniture in the mansion, people from the gambling shop came to the door once and moved some of them away. Now there is nothing valuable in the courtyard except for the things that cannot be moved.

The second young master also planned to give the house servant's contract of sale to the gambling house to pay off the debt.

Anxi spoke earnestly, and finally hoped that the old lady would find a way to let them return to Yecheng.

And the second letter is easy.

The rice shop guy said that people from the gambling shop came to talk nonsense: the second young master made a bet on the rice shop, and finally lost as a mortgage.

I've come here to make trouble a few times and asked to hand over the deed, otherwise the store will be smashed.

After three or two tosses, most of the business was affected, and the new rice shop next door opened, grabbing a lot of business.

Uncle Qiong was surprised and speechless, so he could only hate iron for not being strong, and said: "Why is the second young master so confused!"

"He is so confused, he clearly wants to bring down the Li family!" The old lady had a gloomy face, wishing to drag Li Chuyao out and drown him!

"Then what can the old lady do?"

"Is there a letter from Da Furen today?"

Uncle Qiong nodded, "Yes."

The old lady squinted her eyes, but fortunately she left room for Zhang Xianglan to replace the two servants, otherwise how could she hate Li Chuyao to the bone.

"Did Li Ren send the account book?"

Uncle Qiong nodded and sent it together with today's letter.

"Have someone clean up Da Furen's yard, her son, let her do it."

"That rice shop..." Uncle Qiong hesitated to speak, if the influence continues, his business and reputation will suffer.

"Do you think that the bandit leaders in Yinan have taken a fancy to it, and you can still ask for it back? Li Chuyao made a bet with him in black and white. As long as he is the Li family, we can only give it up."

Thinking of this, the old lady felt angry, she shouldn't have told Li Chuyao about the rice shop, she clenched the hand holding the Buddhist beads, and a look of cruelty flashed in her eyes, as if she wanted to tear Li Chuyao's body into pieces.

If that person hadn't said anything, she would have wanted to kill this little bastard now!

Uncle Qiong was taken aback by the old lady's appearance, "Old lady, but..." To drive the second young master out of the Li family?

"I said, let Zhang Xianglan do it."

"Yes."

Uncle Qiong withdrew and went out.

The nanny took out the medicine prescribed by Dr. Huang, dissolved it in boiling water, and brought it to the old lady.

"Old lady, calm down, don't get angry, it's not worth it."

The old lady glanced at her, "Do you think I was wrong at the beginning, if I taught it myself, that little bastard might still be able to take advantage of it."

"Where is the old lady talking, maybe this one is broken."

"That's right, it's a pity..." The old lady seemed to be lost in memory, her eyes showed envy, and then turned into sighs, how could there be so many capable people who could stand up to a family with their own strength.

Mammy knew a little bit, and she could only blame the second young master for not having that life, and the old lady looked away.

In the past few days, Zhang Xianglan had followed the doctor's advice carefully, and her body was well maintained, and she has become much refreshed.

Seeing the letter sent by the boy, her expression improved by two points. Earlier, Linwei revealed that she had asked the second young master to go to the casino again, and she gambled heavily in every game.

The old lady is protecting Li Chuyao, so let someone ask her for money!Anyway, there are many valuable things in the old lady's dowry.

Zhang Xianglan opened Linwei's letter first, and when she saw that Li Chuyao almost bought the old lady's house, she almost burst out of laughter, probably the old lady was very angry, it would be great if she could get angry up.

"Qing Cui, did you invite Doctor Huang to the old lady's yard this morning?"

"Reporting to Madam, I only heard the voice of the servant doing odd jobs outside, and faintly heard the sound of slapping the table."

Zhang Xianglan curled her lips into a smile, "That old temptress deserves it!"

Nanny Zhang poured hot water for her, and brought up Dr. Huang's medicine, "Ma'am, drink the medicine first."

Zhang Xianglan was in a good mood, she didn't bother anyone today, she took a sip of the drink, and Nanny Zhang hurriedly handed over the candied fruit.

"What kind of medicine is prescribed by Doctor Huang? Why is it getting more and more bitter every day?"

"Ma'am, good medicine tastes bitter."

After Zhang Xianglan ate the candied fruit, she rinsed her mouth again to suppress the smell of traditional Chinese medicine in her mouth.

Qing Cui handed the ledger to Zhang Xianglan, "This is Manager Li's bookkeeping for this month."

Zhang Xianglan nodded, she reached out to take the account book and found the letter paper in Li Ren's folder. Qing Cui came over with a candle, and Zhang Xianglan put the letter paper on the fire to roast for a while.

Blank stationery with red writing.

Zhang Xianglan took it over and took a closer look: the second son wanted to use the rice shop as a mortgage for his gambling debts. The bandits from the gambling shop came to his door and threatened to hand over the land deed.

Seeing the last sentence, Zhang Xianglan re-read the letter in disbelief, she stood up suddenly, then sat down in a daze, anger rose on her pale face!

She yelled straight away: "I just said that old man, why did you tell that little bitch the location of the rice shop! So it's waiting for me here!"

"It must be that old man, tell that little bitch to use the rice shop as a mortgage!"

"Sure enough, the Li family doesn't have a single good thing!"

Zhang Xianglan's hands trembled with anger. Although she was angry, there was still a string in her mind—doctor Huang told her not to get angry!Otherwise, Madam will be ill.

Zhang Nanny and Qing Cui were taken aback. Fortunately, they drank the medicine just now, otherwise they would be so angry. They looked at each other, and Zhang Nanny stepped forward to persuade: "Ma'am, relax, let's not be angry. If you lose your body with anger, those people in the mansion will be so happy."

Zhang Xianglan's words landed on Zhang Xianglan's heart, she followed her movements to breathe, and swallowed the breath forcefully.
