Yu Wen came back very late, drunk.
Yu Tang, who has been keeping an eye on his father's whereabouts, heard the movement, and while helping Ah Shao to support Yu Wen, who was unable to stand still, he said, "Father, have you gone to buy the Li family's land?"
She didn't want her father to buy the Li family's land at the beginning, because she felt that the water in that land could not bypass the canals of the Li family and the Li family's clan house. If the Li family cut off the water, the field would be useless. In the future, the involvement with the Li family will be too deep and troublesome.
Yu Wen giggled, looking very proud, stretched out three fingers towards Yu Tang, and said inarticulately: "It's thirty mu, I bought thirty mu." Then he rubbed Yu Tang's head vigorously, "It's all yours, it's all for you."
A warm current flowed through Yu Tang's heart, but this warm current was quickly replaced by confusion.
With difficulty, she helped her father into the yard and said, "Father, didn't you say that Mr. Wu bought the big one and you bought the small one? Why did you suddenly buy 30 acres? Also, what about the irrigation of the 50 acres of land?" What to do? Did you agree with the Li family before signing the contract?"
"Don't worry!" Yu Wen pushed A Shao and Yu Tang away, and staggered to go into the house by himself, "The third master has made arrangements for me, and the house of the Li family has also agreed. Twenty acres of land... "
Why is this matter related to Pei Yan
Yu Tang was dumbfounded, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and wanted to ask his father carefully what was going on. Yu Wen had already entered the inner room with one foot high and one foot low, shouting Chen's boudoir name loudly, shouting "I'm drunk, why don't you come and help me in", making Chen's face flushed, hiding I don't want to come out of the room.
She had no choice but to stroke her forehead and go back to her room, thinking of blocking Yu Wen at the door of the main room the next morning.
Unexpectedly, Yu Wen had already left the door early.
Yu Tang looked at the white belly that had just appeared in the sky, and said in surprise: "It's so early?!"
Chen's face was full of tiredness, and he smiled helplessly: "It is said that I have made an appointment with Mr. Wu, and I want to see the Li family's land."
In this way, my mother already knew that my father bought the 30 mu of paddy fields owned by Li Duan's family.
Yu Tang said: "Did Dad say anything else?"
"No." Chen Shi said, "He just went crazy while drinking last night, what can he say?" After speaking, his ears turned red.
Yu Tang didn't notice, and had breakfast with his mother.
Yu Wen came back with a face full of excitement.
When he entered the door, he said to Yu Tang and Chen Shi: "That's it! The 30 acres of paddy fields that can be planted with green stem rice belong to our family. The third master Pei didn't show up, so he asked Mr. Pei to help. The canal on the other side of the house diverted water, and the Pei family could help take care of it on weekdays. I looked at the steward of Li Duan's house, and his face was not very good." After finishing speaking, he rubbed his daughter's head specially , said, "I didn't expect that I would be able to enjoy the blessings of our family A Tang so early!"
What is this all about!
Yu Tang glared at his father.
Yu Wen didn't take it seriously, sat down next to Mrs. Chen with a smile, and explained while Mrs. Chen was serving him porridge: "I didn't know that the paddy field next to Li's family belonged to Pei's family, and I went to invite Pei San The master helped to negotiate a deal. The third master Pei only said that I can buy the land with confidence, and I can go to him if I have anything to do. At first, I thought he was going to persuade the people in the Li family's clan not to embarrass us in the future, but who knew it was in the Pei family canal. Make a hole in your head. This is much better than signing a contract with the Li family—if the Li family repents in the future, why don’t I go to the Li family with the contract every time? However, I also regret it a little. The best in Lin’an The two hundred acres of paddy fields are in the hands of the Li family, and the Pei family has land next to the Li family. If the Li family wants to sell the land, maybe the Pei family also wants to buy it. But things have come to this point, and nothing else is good."
After finishing speaking, Yu Wen sighed, and said with emotion: "The Pei family is really generous and kind."
But Yu Tang said: "Is it because of this that Mr. Wu only bought 20 mu of land. And the 20 mu of land is between our family and Pei's family."
"How do you know?" Yu Wenqi asked.
The villain in Yu Tang's heart rolled his eyes at Yu Wen several times. But as my father said, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to say more.
Yu Wen also brought a piece of news that was very different from his previous life: "I heard from Master Wu that the Li family may move to Hangzhou City after October."
Both Yu Tang and Chen Shi were shocked.
People leave their hometowns and are cheap.
Waiting for idlers will not leave their hometown easily.
Chen said anxiously: "Who said this? Why did the Li family move to Hangzhou?"
Yu Wendao: "Master Wu heard from the steward of the Li family. The steward also said that the Li family had bought a house in Hangzhou before and quietly transported some belongings to Hangzhou city. We will wait until the first day of October to worship the ancestors." , is about to move. As for Li Duan, he is also going to study in the capital with Master Li. Isn’t he a juren? Next year will be the big competition, and it is right for him to come to Beijing in advance, there should be no leave.”
Jinshi takes the exam every three years, counting the days, it is the year of the Dabi.
Mrs. Chen nodded, and talked to Yu Wen about how to plant the newly purchased 30 mu of land.
But Yu Tang's thoughts drifted to nowhere.
In the previous life, Li Duan didn't end twice in a row, and won the Jinshi on the gold list as soon as he played. The eldest son of the Pei family, Pei Tong, and a side branch named Pei Chan and Li Duan were awarded Jinshi together.
In the first session of Lin'an, three Jinshi were released, which caused a sensation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Now the situation has changed, if Li Duan leaves early, I wonder if he can still pass the Jinshi exam in one game? If he went to study in the capital, it would be difficult for her to meet him again in the future, let alone revenge. Could it be that she just let Li Duan leave Lin'an like this
Is this the end of Liu Xiaoshan's death
Yu Tang was not reconciled.
She felt that people like Li Duan were not worthy of being an official or making achievements in their careers.
She thought she still had time before, but now that she thinks about it, everything should be arranged as soon as possible.
Yu Tang frowned.
In terms of career, let alone her, even if her father came forward, it would be impossible to do anything to Li Duan.
In life, the marriage between the Li family and the Gu family is over. Although the Li family is selling land now, it has nothing to do with her, and the Li family is only temporarily short of money. As long as Li Yi is still an official, the Li family will soon overcome the difficulties.
Unless the Li family is no longer an official.
A thought flashed by, and Yu Tang remembered one thing.
In the previous life, Li Yi had an accident five years later, that is, the second year after Li Duan was admitted to Jinshi and Shujishi.
When he was the magistrate in Rizhao, he handled a case of adultery between a widowed wife and a younger uncle. Li Yi sentenced the widowed sister-in-law to death, and his brother-in-law was exiled for three thousand miles. The uncle was weak and died on the way. As a result, five years later, the widow's son grew up and beat the drums at the gate of Dali Temple to appeal for grievances. He would rather suffer 50 boards first than sue Li Yi. It is said that the widowed sister-in-law did not commit adultery with her younger uncle at all, but the master of a rich family surnamed Li in Rizhao. It's an injustice.
When the news came out, Li Yi's reputation was damaged.
The Gu family stepped forward to turn the tide, and in the end Li Yi was lightly fined with three months' salary.
People outside said that the big family surnamed Li had vicious intentions, and they scolded Li big family for a bad death.
The Li family was not allowed to talk about it.
Yu Tang overheard Gu Xi's dowry mother-in-law and wet nurse complaining in private that Mrs. Lin treated Gu Xi harshly, imitating Gu Xi's tone and ridiculing Li Yi, "I have shallow eyelids, and I think I'm really someone else after listening to others' flattery." If you are an elder, you will not know the weight when you see silver."
At that time, she thought that the woman was just trying to defend Gu Xi, but now that she thought about it carefully, there was a lot of reason for these words.
Mrs. Tang is still a talented lady. In order to curry favor with Tang Zhifu, she hastened to become relatives with Tang Zhifu. Li Dahu in Rizhao has the same surname as Li Yi, and maybe he has a god-in-law with Li Yi like Mrs. Tang. Li Dahu wanted to frame his widowed sister-in-law and brother-in-law, but it would be impossible without Li Yi's help. "You don't know the weight when you see the silver", maybe it means that Li Yi took the silver from Li Dahu's family at the beginning.
It's a pity that she paid too much attention to Lin's likes and dislikes at that time, and Lin didn't allow others to discuss this matter, so she really didn't inquire about anything.
Calculating the time, the case of the widowed sister-in-law and brother-in-law should have been sentenced when Li Yi was about to leave Rizhao.
People in Lin'an City are all rumored that Li Yi asked Li Jun to bring back the rut into the ground... Maybe it really has something to do with it
Thinking of this, Yu Tang patted his head.
This is just nonsense.
If Li Yi had such a large amount of money in his hand, why would he sell the 50 acres of Yongye land that can produce green rice.
wrong!
Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat.
If the Li family wanted to launder the money, they could also sell the 50 acres of Yongye land.
Her heart was beating wildly.
In the previous life, the Li family did not sell the fifty acres of Yongye land.
However, when Gu Xi married in, Mrs. Lin told others how rich Gu Xi's dowry was and how much the Li family had benefited.
Did Gu Xi really bring so much dowry in
Yu Tang tried hard to recall the details of Gu Xi's life.
Gu Xi's vision is quite high, and her attire is mainly elegant, dignified, and appropriate. Although she adds clothes and jewelry every year, those clothes are only worn when she needs to socialize. She usually wears half-new clothes and a few pieces of jewelry that she says she likes very much at home. In the eyes of outsiders, her clothes are never the same, and she is glamorous every time she shows up. Not only is she praised, but many people imitate her. In the eyes of the servants of the Li family, Gu Xi is simple and generous, diligent and thrifty in running the house, never stingy with the money that should be spent, but never willing to spend more than a cent of the money that should not be used. In Gu Xi's words, this is the principle and the bottom line.
Yu Tang sneered.
She didn't know it before, thinking that this is how rich people live their lives.
Now let's look at Pei Lao'an.
It's not easy for people to wear bright clothes during the filial piety period, so they pay to dress up the younger generation in the family, and even those who like her who are popular next to them will benefit... What kind of rich and noble family is Gu Xi! It is clear that the money is limited but you have to act like a rich man, just to put gold on your face.
Thinking of this, Yu Tang made a new discovery.
In the previous life, the Lin family had no good words to Gu Xi, but was very generous with money. Especially after the Li family and the Lin family made money doing sea business, and after knowing that Gu Xi had discovered Li Duan's dirty thoughts about her, they often called the master of Jinlou to come to the house to make jewelry for Gu Xi, not to mention He bought several shops in Hangzhou and the capital and recorded them under Gu Xi's name.
She thought Lin was compensating Gu Xi for her son, but now that she thought about it, she might not.
