Traveling through life to become rich

Chapter 60 Return to the original owner

Being asked such an aggressive question, Xie Wanru's face suddenly turned red and then turned pale, wishing she could just pass out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang insisted and replied: "The warehouse at home has not been cleaned up properly. I think it has been released for mischief. Ru'er didn't pay attention to it before wearing it."

As he spoke, he quickly asked Xie Wanru to take off the hairpin on his head.

The maid next to Mrs. Bai approached and took the hairpin and handed it to her. Mrs. Bai caressed the lettering on the end of the hairpin lightly, but said in a cold voice, "You've been let go? Such obvious lettering on the hairpin is not forgiving." Can't see, are you blind? Hehe, even dare to wear the dowry of the deceased aunt casually, the rules of the house are really eye-opening!"

Jiang Shi and Xie Wanru were filled with shame and indignation, they felt a coldness in their hearts.

Mrs. Bai made it clear that she came to support Mrs. Xu. If she told about this, her reputation would be ruined. Who in the capital would want to marry Xie Wanru in the future?

Xie Xiaozhang was even more gasping for breath, and stared fiercely at Xie Wanru a few times.

Chief Supervisor Liu checked the gift list quickly, and said with a smile: "Old Madam Xu, the dowry list has been checked, and there are still eight pairs of East Pearls, a pair of ruby ​​waffles, two pairs of emerald bracelets, and a South Sea bead hairpin. "

Mrs. Xu asked coldly after hearing the words: "Jiang Shi, what are the missing things?"

Old Madam Bai looked at Jiang Shi with hooked eyes, with a sneer of disdain.

Jiang's face turned pale, and she whispered to the maid beside her, "Go get the things."

Mrs. Xu sneered, and after Yafa brought those things over, she said to Director Liu: "I will trouble Director Liu to take charge of the separation of the family from now on."

Chief Supervisor Liu smiled, and said respectfully: "Madam, you are being polite, this is my duty."

According to the stipulations of the law, what is divided is the things in the public account. Houses, land, shops, and even the deeds of sale of the servants in the house are all divisible properties. These are all documents that have passed the Kyoto government office. , there is a record in the record, but I am not afraid that Xie Xiaozhang will conceal it, there is nothing to worry about.

Witnessed by Chief Supervisor Liu, the public account was quickly sorted into two parts. Xie Xiaozhang looked at the divided booklets, his face was ugly as hell, but he couldn't express any dissatisfaction, so he had to let the people brought by Chief Supervisor Liu leave with a dark face. After copying the directory and writing the documents, he ordered his men to go to the Yamen of the Kyoto Prefecture to obtain the official seal.

Supervisor Liu handed the document that had passed the official seal to Mrs. Xu, and smiled courteously: "You can only apply for the title of title when Mr. Xie is eighteen years old."

Mrs. Xu took the document and smiled, and said: "Thank you, Director Liu, for reminding me." Instead, she handed the document booklet to Xie Mingyu, "Keep it safe, these are the thoughts left by your parents, look at them later These things, with these things, you must always remember the past, don't let them close their eyes under the nine springs, you know?"

Xie Mingyu's eyes turned red, and she took the booklet with both hands: "Yes, grandma."

Old Madam Bai was also deeply moved, and became more and more dissatisfied with Xie Xiaozhang and the Jiang family, and said: "Over the years, the imperial court has also distributed a lot of salary and money, so we should calculate the general ledger together and let them spit it out."

Mrs. Xu smiled, and took a deep look at Xie Mingyu. Xie Mingyu understood in her heart that she should keep things in check and accept them when they are good.

Xie Mingyu bowed to the old lady Bai, and said gratefully: "At first, I thought that I could get my mother's dowry, and Mingyu was satisfied. Thanks to the old lady's help today, even the family property has been divided up. Mingyu is grateful." Not exhaustive, these are enough, and the rest will not be pursued.”

The old lady Bai smiled gratifiedly, she was very grateful in her heart, and praised the good boy again and again.

Xu Chengjun rented a full twenty carriages, loaded all the dowries, and then left without stopping.

Jiang looked at the dowry with a pale face, wishing she could follow along, she originally planned to make a good dowry for Xie Wanru, and the rest could be used to supplement herself, but now it is all gone.

Over the past few years, they have tried their best to occupy the dowry of younger siblings and their family property, but it only took half a day to return everything to the original owner. Seeing those carriages drifting away, Mrs. Jiang couldn't hold on any longer, her eyes darkened, and she fainted. past.

Everyone returned to the Liyuan with a full load. Shen Yanzhi, who was worried, waited eagerly at the gate. He only smiled when he saw them coming back, and called the housekeeper to unload the things, and carefully sent them to the warehouse.

The biggest thing Mrs. Xu came here this time was to bring the dowry and family property. Now that the matter has been settled, she will not stay any longer. The next day, she is busy asking her servants to pack up the things. The two of them will rush back before the year.

Lizhou is far away, and it will take half a month to drive non-stop. It is almost possible to go back before the year. In addition, there are female relatives, so food and clothing must be prepared on the road.

The pear garden was busy but not chaotic, packing up things in an orderly manner.

Xie Mingyu drove a carriage and parked in front of the gate of the Liyuan, beckoning the servants to come out to carry things.

Rouge gouache, gold and silver jewelry, and a pearl, plus various snacks sealed in tin cans that Xie Mingyu bought from the space, such as shredded squid, dried meat, pistachios, pecans, etc. Most of the carriage.

Xu Chengjun came out to pick them up, seeing the servants rushing in and busy moving things, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Why do you buy so many things? Lizhou is not short of these."

Xie Mingyu said with a smile: "These are all bought for my aunt and cousin, and I bought them specially. Uncle finally came to Beijing, so naturally he wants to bring more things back. Where is grandma?"

Xu Chengjun smiled and said: "In Shou'an Hall, Yanzhi is with him. The old lady likes him very much, and now she is teaching him how to touch dominoes." Xie Mingyu couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

After passing through Chaoshou Corridor, after walking for a while, we arrived at Shou'an Hall. A young girl outside the door saw them coming and quickly got up to say hello, and invited them in.

A warm smoked cage was burned in the room, and an embroidered velvet blanket was spread on the small Suanzhi Kang, with a few dominoes scattered on it.

Old Madam Xu had dozens of little golden lockets, while Shen Yanzhi only had a few pitiful sporadic ones.

Xie Mingyu met Li with a smile, and asked, "Grandmother, how is your inkstone comprehension, can you still learn it well?"

Mrs. Xu smiled lovingly: "You are smart, you can learn it as soon as you learn it, no, you deliberately lost to me to please me." Seeing Xie Mingyu coming in with a happy smile on his face, Shen Yanzhi blushed immediately when he heard Mrs. Xu say that She frowned and said: "Where did you lose on purpose, you really can't beat grandma."

Mrs. Xu smiled when she heard this, Yafa helped her to sit on the soft couch.

Shen Yanzhi told Yafa to put away the kang table, and said with a smile: "Just now I told my grandmother that my grandmother's house will be free after the Chinese New Year, so I will come to Beijing to live permanently."

Mrs. Xu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I came in a hurry this time. When I have time later, I have to come to Beijing to bother you. Seeing that both of them are sixteen or seventeen, it is the age of marriage. Shouldn't your grandma give you the palm of your hand in future marriages?"

Shen Yanzhi's expression darkened when he heard the news, and he glanced at Xie Mingyu without a trace, and then showed a bright smile in an instant.Xie Mingyu didn't miss his subtle expression, shook his hand naturally, and said to Mrs. Xu with a smile: "Grandmother is interested, don't worry about getting married, I know it in my heart. When will grandma be free? Let me know by letter, and I will send someone to pick you up when the time comes."

Mrs. Xu was very happy when she heard the words, and she agreed with a smile.

Mrs. Jiang was stimulated yesterday and passed out on the ground. Afterwards, the mansion invited a doctor to see him. He only said that there is no serious problem if he is in a hurry, but he needs to rest.

It's just that when Mrs. Jiang thought of the Wanguan family wealth that Xie Mingyu had divided away, her heart ached like a knife. Wherever she could calm down, she would throw a tantrum if something went wrong, and beat and scolded her several times a day for no reason. The people in the mansion made the servants in the mansion terrified, and they dared not even make any noise when they walked, for fear of causing innocent disasters.

Xie Xiaozhang lost most of his family's wealth in one night, and he was so restless that he didn't have the heart to comfort Jiang Shi, so he sent someone to another courtyard outside the city to call Xie Minghong back, then he turned his head and went out to drink, Jiang Shi was so angry that he dropped another vase.

The servant hurriedly went outside the city to call for help, but he didn't dare to say anything about what happened in the mansion. He only said that his wife was ill, and the master ordered him to go back.

Xie Minghong and Jiang's mother and son are fairly close. Hearing this, he hurried back from another courtyard outside the city. When he entered the mansion, he felt gloomy and depressing.

very.

Xie Minghong walked into Jiang's room, saw her lying on the beauty's couch with a haggard look, hurried over, and asked, "Mother, how is your health?"

Hearing his voice, Mrs. Jiang shed tears before saying a word, and cried, "Hong'er, my poor son, mother is so miserable.

"

Xie Minghong quickly picked up the handkerchief and wiped Jiang's tears, and asked: "What's the matter, mother, don't cry, what happened in the mansion?"

Jiang's heart ached when she thought about it, she gritted her teeth and cried, "Yesterday Xie Mingyu brought people over, and already returned his mother's dowry and family property!"

Xie Minghong was taken aback when he heard the words, frowned and asked urgently: "Mother, why did you give him the family property so easily? Why didn't you let the servant inform me in advance?"

Jiang said angrily: "I don't want to either, but there is nothing I can do to stop it. Besides, even if I inform you, it will be of no avail. He brought Mrs. Pingjiang Hou and Mrs. Bai from the General's Mansion, and even the Zongzheng Secretary Director Liu is also with him, he acts according to the law, your father can't do anything about it, so what can I do."

Hearing this, Xie Minghong showed disbelief on his face, and murmured: "Isn't Chief Supervisor Liu very close to father? How could...

…,,

Jiang was angry in her heart, and said angrily: "They are all bastards who watch people order dishes. Seeing that Xie Mingyu has someone backing them up, how can they remember the friendship with your father? They are all too busy trying to curry favor with Xie Mingyu!"

"Is the mansion still able to survive?" Xie Minghong asked hastily.

Jiang gritted her teeth and said: "When Xu Ming married, all the dowry was taken away, and more than half of the warehouse was emptied. Not to mention, several villages in the mansion were also assigned to Xie Mingyu's name. It's been a tough day!"

Thinking of the days to come, Jiang worried, and rubbed the center of her brows lightly. Fine lines had gradually appeared on her well-maintained face. She couldn't help but secretly regret that she was still too soft-hearted back then. If she was cruel, she would directly give Xie Mingyu Feeding a cup of throat-sealing poison will cure everything, and it won't give him a chance to leave the mansion. Now there is no such trouble.

Xie Minghong saw that Jiang was worried, and sat beside her to accompany her, but his heart was icy cold, and then he became furious, and countless vicious thoughts surged in his heart.
