Zhiruo calmly said: "I am the eldest sister." Her voice was not loud, but it was full of firm belief and sense of responsibility, which touched everyone present.

Mrs. Tie's eyes were moist. She knew that she had heard Tie Muyuan tell her about her experience at the Qiu family in Luocheng. A gentle girl who was innocent and careless had grown up rapidly in one day, and even ventured back to the capital. It turned out that It only depends on the four words "I am the eldest sister".

Princess Jing was also moved: "Your parents will be very happy to hear this in heaven." Now many people in the capital know that after hearing the bad news about the Yin family, the Qingyuan Houfu immediately "persuaded" Yin Zhiruo, who had just finished paying homage to the church. There were all kinds of emotions about Heli. Some people scolded the Qiu family for adding insult to injury, and some people lamented that Zhiruo was shrewd and had backbone... She originally suspected that Zhiruo was hiding his clumsiness too deeply, but now she felt that she wanted to too much.

The eldest son and eldest daughter of a big family or aristocratic family are brought up with special care. Planning and abilities are secondary. Family responsibilities and the responsibilities as the eldest son (daughter) are the first to bear the brunt. For them, the sense of responsibility is Something that goes deep into your bones.

Princess Jing herself is also the eldest daughter, so this feeling is naturally very deep: "Good boy, with you as the eldest daughter, your parents can rest assured that you will be able to hand over all your younger siblings and important matters to you, but you also Still young."

Zhiruo's face showed nothing strange except sadness and annoyance: "Maybe Zhiruo is useless, so my parents never told me about their affairs. On the day I left, they only told me to be a good wife of the Qiu family in the future. , don’t mind the affairs of the Yin family, so that day Yan’s mother persuaded me to stay in the Qiu family as a concubine. But how could I abandon my parents and younger brothers and sisters just for my own peace? Even if they are gone, I have to keep them Take the spiritual place with me." Tuo Mengzhi said that she believed that Tie Muyuan would not even tell Mrs. Tie, and it was naturally even more impossible for Princess Jing to know.

Princess Jing's voice was full of pity: "It's hard for you to encounter a sudden disaster, but you never thought that if you return to Beijing rashly, you might be implicated."

Tears flashed in Zhiruo's eyes: "If I don't come back this time, I will never be at peace in my life. Even if I am implicated, there is nothing wrong with being a family together."

Mrs. Tie said hurriedly: "Don't mention it anymore, don't you know that you still have a lot of things to deal with? Go back first! Your uncle Tie said that you will only stay in the capital for three days."

Zhiruo nodded, bowed and said goodbye: "Thank you very much, Princess and Auntie Tie, for helping me this time. Zhiruo will take my leave now."

Watching Zhiruo go out, Princess Jing sighed again: "She still has the same innocent and kind-hearted temperament. She has taken it one step at a time, but she has finally got the idea." She actually thought that staying in Qingyuan Hou Mansion as a concubine was " "Just for my own peace." The Qingyuan Marquis Mansion would do that. Anyone with a discerning eye can figure out the intention after just a moment's thought. After the huge dowry has been planned, how can they treat her, the daughter of a criminal minister, kindly?
With such a temperament, it was strange that Princess Yin Zhao and Princess Qianxin would entrust her with any important matters, but they accidentally killed her first.

Fortunately, they were a good couple, so they were able to leave a large amount of property to their children, so that they could have enough food and clothing.But, can Yin Zhiruo be able to hold on?Although her performance just now shows that she must have watched her mother, Princess Qianxin, handle things in the past, and she is also somewhat smart and has inherited some of her mother's business talent, but it is easy to change one's nature, and many times, temper More important than ability.It's dangerous for Yin Zhiruo to guard such a huge fortune with his younger siblings!As long as there are a few slaves who eat the inside and outside, it will be enough.

Mrs. Tie smiled and said: "Who says it's not the case? That girl has thought of it herself. No, she sold the shops and rented the shops. All the small shops were sold, leaving only two big ones. I heard our master say , a lot of servants and maids have also been released. As long as they make no mistakes and intend to leave, not only will the whole family be released, but they will also be given 100 taels of Anjia silver."

"Oh? He's a smart child who knows how to advance and retreat." Princess Jing almost didn't applaud Zhiruo for what she did. For a shrewd person like Princess Qianxin and who loves her eldest daughter, everyone who brings her must be They were screened, and it is estimated that many of them are old people who have served the Yin family for many years.By doing this now, Yin Zhiruo not only eliminated those servants who had dissatisfied with the Yin family's downfall, but also gained a good reputation for being generous and kind.You know, Princess Yin Zhao and Princess Qianxin have good reputations and good popularity, so many people don't believe that they will rebel this time. That's why so many people defended and petitioned for them, even the emperor had to worry about it.Mrs. Tie didn't find it so incredible: "Daughter Xiao Mu, otherwise why would everyone choose a daughter-in-law based on her mother's character and talents? Zhiruo girl is like Princess Qianxin, but she is so well protected that she doesn't need to worry about it. . Before anything happened to the Qi family, who else thought Princess Qianxin was shrewd and shrewd?"

Princess Jing suddenly felt enlightened, isn't this it?She always thought how much a person could change, but she forgot such a simple truth.

After leaving Yaxiu Pavilion, Zhiruo took Uncle Qiang and others to the large courtyard with three entrances on Xiu Ming Street.That was originally the Qi family's house, the former palace of the general.Because General Wang Qifei particularly loved white cranes, and the large lotus pond in the back garden once had white cranes staying there, Princess Qianxin changed the name of the house to Crane Garden.

Zhiruo knew that in his previous life, not long after his death, the Qiu family moved to the capital, and Heyuan became the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion.During that time, the government had been busy with the matter of moving to the capital. She originally expected to be able to worship at her parents' graves after returning to the capital, but she was not able to realize even this last extravagant wish.

She also knew that in her previous life, not two months after her parents' accident, Grandma Qi Ba's family who lived in Heyuan Branch suddenly moved away.She didn't care at that time, after all, Heyuan already belonged to the Qiu family at that time.But later, the Qiu family heard somewhere that Qi Ba’s grandma and her family bought a large house and a lot of fertile land as soon as they returned to their hometown in Huizhou. They also dedicated two peerless military books "Qi’s Art of War" to Prince Ping, who had a fiefdom in Huizhou, for Qi’s sake. The eldest son of the Eighth Grandma donated an eighth-grade official position.

At that time, the Marquis of Qingyuan, Ji, and Qiu Yiran interrogated her for a long time, asking her if she had secretly given the money and the military book left by her grandfather to Grandma Qiba's family.It was a pity that Zhiruo had no clue at all and could only open her eyes with big blank eyes and shake her head. The Qiu family's questions were all in vain, and Ji even scolded her for being a fool.

Don't blame the Qiu family for being careless. Mr. Qi Ba is just a very remote branch of the Qi family. After Mr. Qi Ba died, Grandma Qi Ba took her three sons, two wives, seven or eight grandchildren, and a daughter to join them. Princess Qianxin.Princess Qianxin saw that they were quite honest and the Qi family didn't have many relatives and friends, so she let them live temporarily in a small courtyard in Heyuan. Grandma Qi Ba's eldest son Qi Dalang, a scholar, continued to take the exam twice but failed. While the others helped guard and clean the Crane Garden.

In such a family's situation, even if Princess Qianxin gives them more monthly money than other employees, even if their food, clothing and clothing are all provided by the Yin family, they don't have to spend money and can save them all, it won't matter. Maybe you can afford a big house and so much fertile land, right?
And where did the "Qi's Art of War" come from?In the entire Qi family, even if their ancestors can be traced back ten generations, only Qi Fei and his son can be related to the word "art of war".

But many years later, the mystery was finally solved.Grandma Qi Ba's three sons were divided into families unevenly and made a big fuss. Somehow, the drunken third son revealed in public that he had been playing in the Heyuan lotus pond picking old lotus roots, and accidentally found a lotus root hidden under the crane statue in the middle of the lotus pond. The secret box gave rise to a huge family fortune and Qi Dalang’s official position...

After he was reincarnated, Zhiruo naturally didn't have a good impression of Grandma Qiba's family, but there was no need to resent them. If they hadn't stolen those things back then, they would have just benefited the Qiu family in vain.

But now, now that she knows the secret box, she knows that if she wants to get her grandfather's things back, she won't let anyone else take them away, and that family doesn't deserve her kindness.Thinking that their mother had taken care of them for so many years, they didn't see them coming to take their father and mother's coffins up the mountain yesterday.I heard from an old servant at the funeral that they claimed that they were temporarily living in the dowry yard of the wife of the eldest son of the Qiu family, and had nothing to do with the Yin family and Princess Qianxin, who were guilty of treason.
