Chapter 16 Doubt
"Grandmother, let's get down to business first." Shi Niang hurriedly held down her grandparents who were about to cry again, and asked for three boxes to be delivered, opened them one by one, took out the small box by herself, and put both hands on the case in front of Lu Taigong and his wife , "This is 20 taels of cash in the deposit box. All the other things that can be found are here. I lost some furniture, cloth and other clumsy things. These were made up by my granddaughter. It was returned 16 years later. This is the Fang family's No, I hope grandparents forgive me."

The fourth box was brought in, opened, and it was full of silver ingots. That's what she said, and she made up the missing ones by herself.

When Fang Yun and his wife looked at the box of silver ingots, they were also taken aback. They didn't expect that this one sold a whole box of silver ingots.

The Lu family is stupid again, what does this mean.

"Grandpa, according to the law, half of Lu's mother's dowry should be refunded, and the other half should be added to Shi Niang's dowry. Shi Niang is still young, so these should have been handed over to the Lu family." Fang Yun hurriedly clasped his fists and said to Lu Taigong .

"No, brother is not right." Shi Niang knelt down in front of Lu Taigong and his wife again, and hurriedly said, "The Lu family gave my mother a dowry. My mother passed away early, leaving only the youngest daughter. The youngest daughter is unfilial, so tired that the loving mother died early. , but because of my mother's wit, I got my daughter's 16 years of safety. What face does my daughter have to accept the favor of the Lu family. She must return it all!"

Fang Yun was stunned, the co-authoring sister didn't want to take any money, that's why there was such a disturbance yesterday, because she wanted to return everything, and she had to make up for what was missing.I am very troubled.

"Grandfather, the Lu family's mother died early, and my sister has been feeling guilty all the time, please help my grandfather!" Fang Yun hurriedly stepped forward to accompany her with a smile.

"Your mother's relics, why are you so dismissive?" Lu Xian didn't even remember what his aunt looked like. Now that he saw a cousin, he didn't think much about it.It is a bit embarrassing to return all the aunt's dowry now.

"My cousin is right. Although her parents were against her when she was a baby, the little girl has always respected her biological mother. Therefore, in the dowry, the little girl left the "Encouraging Learning" by Bachelor Mu, which will be placed in the little girl's room. Be alert at all times."

"What does this sound like?" Lu Xian tilted his head, hesitating a little.

The grandfather hurriedly helped Shi Niang up, "What's the important thing about these things? Now, these are your dowry, and you will carry them back later. Listen clearly, you sent it back, and grandfather took it. This is what your grandfather gave you as a wedding dowry." The capital has nothing to do with your mother."

"That's right, that's right." The old lady nodded with a busy smile.

"Grandfather, grandmother, the little girl has moved to the elder brother's house, please don't embarrass the elder brother and his wife."

"That's right, that's right, Grandpa must accept it, otherwise, this junior will not know how to gain a foothold in the army." Fang Yun hurriedly followed and knelt down, very frightened.

"Brother Fang Xian has always been a dignified gentleman. If these things are piled up in Brother Fang Xian's house, I'm afraid it will attract criticism. Why don't my grandfather seal them up for my younger sister? When my younger sister gets married, the Lu family will present a generous dowry with great fanfare. Isn't it the best of both worlds?" .” Lu Xian hurriedly said to his grandfather.

"What's the matter with you? You have a share in this family?" The uncle finally spoke, glanced at his nephew, and thought about it, "We don't know how your life has been these years. Please remember, always Write a letter and send some female workers to reassure the hearts of the elders. You just returned to the capital yesterday, and today you send back the dowry with such a big fanfare, how can you make that broken-hearted person think of you and see you?"

Lu Hu is an experienced Taoist, and he still has a little bit of incense for his only niece.

"Yes, my niece knows it's wrong." Anyway, the things have been sent back, so it doesn't matter if you scold her for a while.

"Your temperament is quite similar to your mother. It's quick to admit your mistakes, but you just don't change." The eldest aunt hurriedly helped up Shi Niang, pinched her little face, and smiled after she finished speaking. With a long sigh, "I'm here, I'll stay here for a few days. Your mother's room is just as it was. Grandpa and the others are not willing to throw away their childhood toys."

"Mr. Fang, would you like to let Shi Niang stay for a few days?" Mrs. Lu hurriedly looked at Fang Yun.

"Originally, this is what should be done. However, my younger sister just returned to Beijing yesterday. Today, I came to visit the grandpa and the old lady for the first time. However, the younger nephew still has to bring the second younger sister to meet with relatives. Don't be rude. You also have to bring your wife Let my sister socialize around. How about this, the cheapest will come to pick up my sister tomorrow morning." Fang Yun thought for a while, then raised his head and said.

The grandpa nodded, the Lu family could not take Shi Niang out for the Fang family.Shi Niang is already 16 years old, and everyone in Beijing must know that the prostitute daughter of the Fang family has returned.

"It's very appropriate. I won't bother your wife tomorrow. I'll ask her aunt to take her back to your place." The old man nodded and patted Fang Yun gently.

Shi Niang watched Fang Yun and his wife leave without even having lunch, and said that the children were at home. This, isn't it too winking.We all know that the Lu family doesn't need outsiders like their husband and wife to be present at this time.

Lunch is a big long table. Everyone sits around the table. Although it is a meal in front of each person, they are also very affectionate.

"Son, where have you been all these years? When I received your letter, my grandmother cried bitterly. When she was seriously ill last year, she kept thinking that she couldn't die, and she would wait for you to come back." The eldest aunt hurriedly brought vegetables for her.

When the eldest aunt married in, Lu Tan was still young, and she was really raised as a daughter and sent out well.As a result, within a year, the person was gone.The child said that he was rescued by someone, but what about him?At that time, she also went crazy to look for the child. She didn't expect that it would be 16 years before she saw her for the first time. Looking at her face, she knew it was Lu Tan's child. Tears filled her eyes just now.

"It's in the mountains outside the city. Mother probably wants to escape there." Shi Niang had just seen the distance between Lu's house and Uncle Weiwu's mansion. When she thought about it, she knew very well that the road to Lu's house was blocked. Not much left.So after much deliberation, I went out of the city and went to Yuanyuan Temple, which was a forbidden area of ​​the royal family and was guarded by soldiers.As long as she goes into the woods, she can live.

"It's just outside the city, why don't you allow me to visit?" the old lady asked hastily.

"If my family knows about the royal forbidden area, I'm afraid that people will come in and out of it, which will make people think. Besides, my adoptive mother doesn't want people to know. I have been raised there for 16 years, which is not good for my reputation."

"Where...?" The eldest aunt was really startled, hesitated for a moment, and immediately shut up when she saw that everyone was confused.I also know that there is nothing to say.

"That's very true. Seeing you like this, I also know that you have been taken care of by your adoptive mother for the past 16 years. If there is a chance, the whole family of the Lu family will kowtow to her." Grandpa Lu nodded, and the eldest daughter-in-law could understand. He can understand it.

"Why did you move out early this morning, but the Fang family made things difficult for you?" The uncle nodded and changed the subject.

"Oh, let me ask, why did my mother marry Fang's family to fill in the house? My mother has so much dowry and looks good. Is it better to marry anyone than marry Fang Xian?" When it came to this, Shi Niang asked hurriedly. .

"In his later years, the first emperor believed in Huang Lao's art, and that year he wanted to select a group of virgins to enter the palace to practice Taoism." Lu Xian said hurriedly, "Aunt's horoscope is quite suitable."

　I am very sleepy now, but I know that if I persist for a while, I will not be able to sleep again.I just changed the wording of my writing document to 26 and it feels great now.
