He felt that Qian Tongpan had been here for many years and no one would believe him even if he said he had not made any money.
Now that I am making money, this one is gone, that one is gone, then how can it add up to just over three thousand taels?
If it's really all gone, it might be thousands or even thousands of taels, or more.
Therefore, this should be Qian Tongpan's way of diverting people's attention.
Thinking about this, he looked away and said: "The people from the Qian Mansion didn't say what was missing. They just reported that all the food was stolen and Mrs. Qian's dowry was also stolen."
Li Yuan had a look of realization on her face, and then she expressed her displeasure at being suspected, and said aggressively: "I see, no wonder you just asked if you could take a look. Why, do you think my brother Xie can do some good deeds and help the people at this time?" Sending some food, did we steal the things from the Qian Mansion? Do you think we two look like thieves, like such capable people?"
"You just said that you would steal all the grain, so how capable are we two that we can sneak out and take away other people's granaries without being discovered? Do you think, if you, Or is your master capable of doing this?"
Chen Xing also knew that his behavior just now was inappropriate, and he felt a little embarrassed when he was questioned by Li Yuan.
"Ms. Li, it's my fault. I don't mean anything else, nor do I doubt your character. After all, I still have my master. I have known Xie Xiucai for many years. I know who he is and how capable he is. What, I'm really sorry, I just did that because I was crazy. I'm going to go out and ask someone to load the food away."
Before leaving, Chen Xing thought of something else and continued: "By the way, Mrs. Li, my master said that delivering food to the people should be left to Mr. Chen. You and Xie Xiucai are in time to get married, so there is no need to do it in time." There was a lot of delay on the way because of this matter. When the time comes, the master will ask Mr. Chen to deliver these rice noodles to the people, and tell them who sent it."
Li Yuan deliberately replied with an unhappy look on her face: "I know, Brother Xie just made money because of the script, and couldn't bear the suffering of the people, so he wanted to buy some food to give to them. Since you didn't misunderstand, I'll leave the food to you. . By the way, Su Mingshan from the Su Mansion knew that we were going to deliver food to the people. She said that the Su Mansion also wanted to do its part and would arrange for someone to go out of the city with us tomorrow. Do you want to talk to them over there, or should I find someone to go with us? Tell me? I'm afraid that because Su Mansion also wants to do good deeds and transport food out of the city, he will be regarded as a target of suspicion. "
"I'll just go over and say something later!"
Li Yuan nodded and left without caring about it.
If someone does this, that's the best thing.
Now they are taking their children back, and the road is not going fast to begin with.
We set out on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and if we didn’t delay along the way, we wouldn’t be able to get home until the afternoon or evening of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year at the earliest.
Twelve years of marriage, time is really tight.
That day, when Li Yuan was preparing to go to bed with her two children, Xie Yanzhi still didn't come back.
After the two children fell asleep, Old Man Li's voice came from the yard.
"Ms. Li, a nanny from Su Mansion is here. She said her name is Qingmei and she wants to see you."
"Okay, old man, just invite the people in. I'll get up right away."
Old Man Li said yes and left. When Li Yuan got dressed and opened the door, she saw Qingmei holding a lamp in one hand and a large brocade box in the other.
"Aunt, why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?"
Li Yuan said, pulled the person into the room, and then lit the oil lamp.
Qingmei glanced at the two sleeping children, blew out the lantern in her hand, and then stuffed the brocade box into Li Yuan's arms.
"Mother Yuan, my aunt is so incompetent that she ruined your grandfather's family and caused your mother and aunt to leave home at an early age. My aunt has not been able to avenge the family for so many years..."
"Aunt, this is all in the past, and there is no point in talking about it anymore. Let's look forward, maybe the dog officer will be punished soon?"
Qingmei originally had a look of remorse on her face, but when she heard this, her eyebrows widened.
"Mother Yuan, you are right. That dog official has been punished. Today, the young lady told me that his house was robbed and all the valuable belongings were stolen. The funniest thing is, I heard that his house originally planned to entertain Mr. Meng. They were afraid of being seen as doing something wrong, so they put away all the valuable things in the warehouse. This theft was equivalent to almost emptying the money house. It was really deserved! If it weren't for the fear of attracting attention, I would have liked to light a few strings of firecrackers Celebrate."
Li Yuan saw the joy on her aunt's face, but she didn't smile.
Qingmei had not been so happy for many years. After saying this to Li Yuan, she pointed to the brocade box placed by Li Yuan on the table and said, "Mother Yuan, the Su family has treated my aunt well these years. She has food, drink, and accommodation. It's all paid for by the government, so my aunt has saved all the monthly silver and rewards over the years. Your aunt is in the Marquis' Mansion, and she doesn't think much of us. So my aunt divides the money and things that she cares for herself into Two portions, aunt keeps a small portion for herself, most of it is here."
When Li Yuan heard this, she quickly pushed the brocade box back: "Aunt, I don't want it!"
Qingmei continued to push it to Li Yuan: "Yuan Niang, listen to your aunt. She is old and has no children, so she doesn't need these things. Not all the things here are for you. You give half of it. To your brother, didn’t you say that he just got married a year ago? I calculated your age, and I estimate that he is not too young this year. Since he is not young yet, and he has not gotten married until now, and you said before that your father is gone, your mother I also went with him and so on, I think life will be difficult in the future.”
"You keep these. Even if Xie Xiucai has money now, the meaning is different after all. Your aunt gave it to you to use as a bankroll when you get married. If you have money yourself, you will have a straight waist in your husband's family. As for your brother, after taking this money, His life can be more comfortable. His wife can also treat him better. It is said that poor and humble couples suffer from everything. With these, life can be improved to a greater or lesser extent. "
Li Yuan heard that she was thinking about her siblings and she sighed in her heart and said: "Aunt, I am really not short of money myself. Although I haven't gotten married yet, most of Brother Xie's money is with me. Plus you have been here before You should have heard that Brother Xie is not very close, so I can take charge of the family as soon as I get married. In addition, Junzi’s daughter-in-law is really nice, especially nice. Before she was willing to marry Junzi, she knew that Junzi was in debt and there was no money in the family. Field. If you have a chance to come back, you will know when you meet my aunt."
"Okay, I have a chance to meet my aunt. Also, Xie Xiucai gave you the money. That is a matter between the two of you. This is from my aunt. Yuan Niang, please be obedient. If you accept it, your aunt will feel at ease. My aunt has no heirs. , you, like Mingshan, are your aunt's children. It's getting late now, and your aunt has to go back first, so I won't say more to you."
