Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 23
Li Tian ignored her, put on his cloak, and took the green branch straight to Mrs. Yang's main courtyard.

After entering the room and seeing the ceremony, Li Tian beckoned to the woman who borrowed money, said what the woman had said in a few words, looked at Mrs. Yang and said: "... I never thought that the second aunt would be reduced to such a disrespectful level in just a few years. Face, I am an orphan without father and mother, the aunts don’t say to take care of one or two, but they are so shameless, they stretched out their hands to the dowry left by my grandmother and mother. For more than ten years, I have been relying on Grandma lives, and the Yongguo government has never sent someone to send someone half a penny? Seriously, even if I am the only orphan in the fourth room, the Yongguo government can't just wipe out the fourth room, right? If you want to borrow money , I have no choice but to ask my aunt to settle the accounts from year to year."

"What are you talking about? Who wiped the fourth room..." Mrs. Yang's lips trembled angrily, and her throat was sweet. She didn't know whether she was angry at Mrs. Xu for being shameless, or because she was angry at Li Tian for speaking too meanly, but these words were not She couldn't refute half a sentence, and just uttered half a sentence, the second half of the sentence had to be stuck in her throat, and her face turned from pale to red in an instant. She was right. After that tragedy, Duke Yong The annual division of the mansion has always been divided into three... But this is what Mrs. Lin said in person back then. She doesn't care about this little annual silver.Mrs. Yang's eyes turned black with anger, but Mrs. Lin is dead, so she can ask for the money!If she wants it, she has to give it!

"The Li family branched from Yuhang to the capital and multiplied for a hundred years. It is also one of the most powerful families in the capital. If the aunt finds it difficult to discipline, the Li family still has the patriarch. I am an orphan in the fourth room. I am weak and weak. It all depends on the aunt. Support one or two, if the aunt really can't bear it, the niece and daughter should ask the uncle in the hall to find another person to support the house for the fourth room." Li Tian said in a cold and forceful tone.

Mrs. Yang looked at Li Tian in disbelief, and found another person to support Sifang's door...Sifang is the only direct branch of the Duke of Yongguo's mansion, the family rules of the Li family... Mrs. Yang shook on the couch a few times, Stretching out his hand to support the couch, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, managed to stabilize his body, looked straight at Li Tian and said, "Don't worry, Duke Yong's Mansion will never tolerate such shameless things."

"Then thank you auntie." Li Tian stood up and bowed his knees to thank: "My niece is retiring, so I won't disturb auntie."

Qing Zhi followed Li Tian through the garden, and was almost at Qingtong Courtyard, couldn't help it, took a step forward and asked in a low voice: "Fifth lady, didn't you say that your wife is very talkative, so... ...Will it offend the lady?"

"Hey!" Li Tian sighed heavily first: "Tell me, I'm going to accompany you as little as possible right now, can she treat me sincerely if she can serve me?"

Qingzhi frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head hesitantly and said: "I don't think so, Da Furen has a serious heart for you."

"That's it. Even if I am careful with her, I can't solve her knot. What's more, we have so many things, how can we have the time? If we can't get along well, if we show weakness again, she will have no fear and take it at will. Me? Arrange my marriage at will?"

"I see." Qingzhi suddenly smiled: "So if Wu Niangzi wants to mention the patriarch and find someone to support the family for Sifang, if she dares to go too far, Wu Niangzi will dare to ask the patriarch to ask someone to inherit Sifang and replace Wu The lady is in charge, this is to tell her that the fifth lady is not something she can handle!"

"Well, there is one more level. According to the family rules of the Li family, the mansion, the family property, and the sacrificial land are all to be inherited by the first son. If you really want to pick someone to inherit the fourth house, and then you can separate the family, the three of them will have to move out immediately. The Duke of Yongguo, even the Duke of Yongguo, can compete for it, this is what she is most afraid of, I am reminding her not to lose both." Li Tian explained again with a smile, Qingzhi gently 'Ah' and laughed: "So that's how it is!"

In the third house, Mrs. Liu San listened to her confidant mother-in-law muttering about Mrs. Yang's punishment for Mrs. Yang's punishment for finding Li Tian to borrow money from her confidant. ?”

"That's right, the eldest lady won't talk nonsense. The eldest lady has said that, if you want to borrow money, you should first calculate the money that the second room has allocated over the past ten years."

Mrs. Liu San took a light breath, and the mother-in-law looked at Mrs. Liu San and said: "It's a big deal if you count it, and there's no reason why it's not counted as the second bedroom or the third bedroom, even the eldest lady has to vomit." Come out, this second wife is also, how can she borrow money like this, does she really think everyone else is a fool?"

"This Fifth Sister is not to be messed with, and we don't want to mess with her. That Mammy Xiong is her nanny. After saying those things, it seems that she doesn't intend to make things difficult for us. We don't care about our business, so please stay in our house." The people here are polite to Qingtongyuan, and the well water does not interfere with the river water."

"Don't worry, ma'am." The old lady hurriedly responded, and began to mutter other gossip.

Not two days later, Li Tian suddenly sent someone to tell Mrs. Yang that she was going to perform ritual rituals in the yard. Mrs. Yang stayed there for a long time, but still felt a little overwhelmed. She believed in Buddha, and that yard frightened her the most. A comfortable place, could it be that that mother-in-law...is still in that yard?Mrs. Yang was so startled that she couldn't sleep for four or five nights. She managed to stay through until the ceremony was over, and went to Puji Temple to listen to scriptures for a day without saying a word, and lit several long-burning lamps.

The monks invited from Fayun Temple and Puji Temple performed seven-day super-delivery rituals in Qingtongyuan.

After the ceremony started, apart from Li Xiaozu, who was shaking his legs in fright, and reluctantly moved over to guard for a day, the people around him, including Mrs. Yang, were unwilling or afraid to approach the Qingtong Courtyard, but Li Tian's uncle and aunt took the lead. He brought his son and daughter-in-law over and listened to the scriptures for several days.

Early in the morning of the second day after the ceremony began, Yue Niang lifted the curtain and came in, sat sideways on the edge of the kang, pointed to the outside of the yard with her finger and said: "Your uncle knelt outside the yard all night until dawn, and he couldn't even get up. Climb all the way back."

Li Tian sat up all of a sudden, was stunned for a while, then suddenly stretched out her finger to signal, Yue Niang listened attentively and said: "Speak, there is no one."

"Do you know how my parents died?" Li Tian looked at Yue Niang and asked, Yue Niang nodded: "Who doesn't know? I met a robber."

"That's what I said. I always feel that there is something strange about it. First, we often go to Puji Temple. In the past few decades, except for my parents, have you heard of such a second incident? Second, in this mansion, Aunt Shen and Grandma were killed by the grandmother. This one, it is said that the uncle gave birth to a son, and it makes sense to leave the mother and keep the son, but why did the grandmother and grandfather not live? Even if a son is lost, the grandfather There are also three sons, my grandmother has an aunt, and me. Third, I have asked people to ask about it. In the past, my uncle was not like this. I heard that he likes to study. Although he is not very knowledgeable, he is cheerful and honest. Feng Fan, such a person, after the death of his grandfather and grandmother, shouldn't he work hard to support the family? How come he has been soaking in wine jars for more than ten years?"

Yue Niang frowned, thought carefully for a while, then shook her head and said: "You are right, I don't understand this matter, have you asked your grandma?"

"I asked. Grandma said that everything that should be paid has been paid back." Li Tian looked at Yue Niang and sighed: "That sentence made me the most suspicious. What do you mean by paying back everything that should be paid?"

"I definitely don't know." Yue Niang spread her hands and said, Li Tian sighed heavily, Yue Niang said leniently: "Since your grandma said that you have paid everything that should be paid back, then you must pay it back, don't think too much about it, How can you have time to think about this? It's been too quiet for the past two months, nothing happened, you don't think anything is wrong? Let's think about it now, I always feel that something big is going to happen. "

Li Tian took a deep breath, looked at Yue Niang and said, "Whoever makes trouble again, let's kill him!"

"That's such a joy!" Yue Niang slapped the kang and became excited: "According to me, you just think too much..." Halfway through speaking, seeing Li Tian leaning towards her with a half-smile on his face, The son came to his senses, sat upright quickly, coughed a few times, and said with a straight face: "Hey, how can you kill if you say it? The capital is a place with laws, and I am a law-abiding person!" Li Tian laughed out loud. On the kang.

A few days after the beginning of the first lunar month, shopkeeper Cheng sent a message to see Li Tian. Li Tian took Yue Niang, and a green oil car stopped at two alleys away from the pawnshop, turned a few turns, and quietly arrived at the back of the pawnshop. As soon as he entered the corner door of the small courtyard, Shopkeeper Cheng was looking out from the crack of the door. Seeing Li Tian and Yue Niang coming, he hurriedly opened the door, let them in, and locked the corner door.

Yue Niang stood in front of the low door leading to the front of the small courtyard, paying attention to the movement outside. Before Li Tian could ask, shopkeeper Cheng said in a low voice: "Master, the letter from the inspection station, our Qu Yin was intercepted." I'm afraid I won't be able to get one in April this year." Li Tian slightly closed his eyes, sighed heavily and asked, "Did Princess Ning stop it?"

"I'm not sure." Shopkeeper Cheng sighed worriedly, Li Tian looked up at Shopkeeper Cheng, smiled and said, "We thought about this a few years ago, and that's all they have to do. If you spend a little more effort, you have to find out as soon as possible who has our dozen or so copies of Quyin, if it is not Ningguo..." Li Tian frowned, and after a moment of silence, he continued: "I wanted to If there is another family, we must quickly find out about this matter."

"Do you need to find a way to manage it? There is no excuse, Qianchunfang will have to close." Cheng's shopkeeper became more worried, Li Tian waved his hand and said: "No, this is not something that can be settled with money, we have to use our money Right now, the most important thing at this moment is to find out who took the song Yin."

"Yes, don't worry, Master." Li Tian's calmness and confidence made Shopkeeper Cheng settle down, and he answered with a relaxed face. Li Tian didn't delay too much. I sent a message to Sun Liu, asking him to keep a close eye on Shopkeeper Zhao of Qianchunfang, and report every day, every day."

"Yes!" Shopkeeper Cheng simply agreed, opened the door to send Li Tian and Yue Niang out, and locked the door after watching the two of them turn out of the alley from the crack of the door. Heaving a sigh of relief, he walked out of the pawn shop with his hands behind his back, and went to find Sun Liu to deliver a message.
