Ren Shimin counted the silver notes, and it was rare for him to be shrewd: "What you saved and what Li Tianyou paid back, you don't have so much money, right?"
Only then did Mrs Li look at Master Ren's face, and said carefully: "As expected, I can't hide it from Master, in fact, there are still some sent back by Ji'er..."
When Ren Shimin heard this, he frowned: "Didn't I tell her not to interfere in these things!"
Master Ren felt that as the head of the family, being expelled from the family was a very shameless thing in itself, and now he had to ask his married daughter to pay him the debt of the Ren family with silver, which made his face a little uneasy.
Thinking of what Ren Yaoqi explained to her, Mrs Li hurriedly said: "Actually... In fact, Qi'er said that the money was not given for nothing. She, she took a fancy to the paintings of Tang Miao and Jiang Yuanyi in your hand..."
Looking at Ren Shimin's rounded eyes, Li's voice became smaller and smaller.
Ren Shimin was stunned for a while, but smiled and scolded: "This girl, didn't she give her two pictures as a dowry when she got married? Still thinking about my treasures."
Seeing that Ren Shimin didn't seem to be angry, Li Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Qi'er said that instead of selling it to others, you might as well sell it to her. And she bought it and put it in your study to let it go. You keep it, wait... ahem, give it to her after a hundred years."
Other elders must have been furious when they heard such rebellious words, but Ren Shimin laughed when he heard it, and then quickly put away the box: "Okay! I won't let her suffer, and I will keep everything in my study in the future. I gave it to her, and now let me take it for the time being."
The babies don't have to fall into the hands of others, Master Ren is very happy. As for the ownership of things, Mr. Ren has no ambitions for this. He is satisfied as long as he can enjoy it from time to time. Anyway, it is not brought by life or death, so what do you earn
After hearing this, Mammy Zhou couldn't help but glance at Ren Shimin, and muttered to herself: All the valuable things in your hand are put in your small study, can you be more biased
However, it is better to give it to her own lady than to Ren Yihong's concubine. Mammy Zhou is still satisfied with the result.
After Master Ren asked about the origin of this large sum of money, he took the box and left without thinking much.
After Ren Shimin left, Zhou mama said to Mrs Li worriedly: "The princess, the concubine and the prince who have most of the money gave you the dowry money, you took it all out and gave it to the master. after… "
Mrs. Li waved her hand to stop Mother Zhou's words, and said firmly: "There is nothing in case! In the future, even if he is poor, I will accompany him."
Li picked up the coat that Ren Shimin had just taken off, and said with gentle eyes, "In the final analysis, it was because of me that he broke with the family, how can I watch him make trouble for these external things. I just want to watch him every time. He lived happily and contentedly, even if it was only those dead things in the study that made him happy." Not her.
Mammy Zhou looked at Mrs. Li, shook her head and sighed, but said nothing.
Ren Shimin took the money and wanted to give it back to the Ren family at one time, but then let Ren Yaoqi stop it. Ren Yaoqi persuaded him to let him give it a few times and give it to Qi within a year. Ren Yaoqi was afraid that the money would be too easy to give, and the old lady Ren was going to do something wrong.
Ren Shimin didn't care about these small details. After listening to Ren Yaoqi's opinion, he first sent 80,000 taels to the Ren family, and then divided the rest several times. I don't know if what Ren Yaoqi said to the eldest wife before, or if the Ren family really needed the money, the Ren family finally took the money that Ren Shimin sent.
After the Ren family's self-appointed grandfather went to the funeral, the inner courtyard also underwent some changes.
The old lady Ren first released a group of maids in the yard. Coral, who was serving by the old lady Ren, and Jin Lian's big maids were all matched with a few young stewards outside. They happily took the generous dowry given by the eldest lady and left. The Ronghua Courtyard.
After that, the eldest lady sent a group of new people to serve the old lady. Originally, the old lady was a little dissatisfied, but these newly arrived maids were all smart and sensible. Habits are also well-known, and it is even easier to use than the original big maids, and slowly I get used to it.
The big and small matters in the inner courtyard of Ren's house were originally handled by the eldest wife, but she had to report to the old lady Ren every day. Now the eldest wife still does this, and she will first seek the old lady's opinion before dealing with major events. The old lady Ren did not notice any difference from before.
Since the old lady married to the Ren family when she was young, she has been the hostess in the inner courtyard of the Ren family. Even if her son married a daughter-in-law and she let the eldest daughter-in-law take care of the house, the eldest wife was the only one who followed her lead. Let down your guard.
So what the old lady didn't know was that some of the servants who only obeyed her orders were quietly replaced by the eldest lady, and some of those people also wanted to secretly go to the old lady to call the shots, but they haven't left yet. When he arrived at the Ronghua Courtyard, he was stopped by someone.
After the old man passed away, the financial power of the Ren family was in the hands of the old man. The eldest lady replaced the old lady Ren's confidant with her own confidant, and everyone in the inner courtyard of the Ren family also understood where they should stand.
The inner courtyard of Ren's house is changing silently, but the old lady Ren, who is involved, doesn't even notice it at all. She still lives in the atmosphere of being the master of the house that no one dares to disobey.
Until one day, the old lady Ren found out that Ren Yaoyin, who used to come to greet her every day, hadn't come to Ronghua Hospital for a long time. She heard that the eldest lady who came to greet her every day said that Ren Yaoyin was not too ill to be very sick. Can't get out. The old lady Ren originally wanted to let Ren Yaoyin marry into the Yun family, but she could only put it aside temporarily, and told the eldest lady to let Ren Yaoyin take good care of her.
The eldest lady deserved it in front of the old lady, but behind her back, she had some contacts with the Ren family surnamed Yang that she had taken a fancy to before. Although the marriage could not be decided because of the filial piety of the old lady, but both parties had a relationship. Intention to marry.
As for Ren Yaoyin, she was taken care of by the eldest wife Yan's family shortly after the funeral of Mrs. Ren. All the old women and maids who served her were replaced, and the guards of the house and courtyard were replaced by Kong Wu's powerful woman. , don't let her take half a step out of the door. The eldest wife said that Ren Yaoyin served the old lady in a disorganized manner at the funeral of the old grandfather, and finally fell ill from exhaustion and needed to rest for a while.
Although Ren Yaoqi promised the Ren family to contact the Yu family, in fact, Ren Yaoqi never planned to meet the Yu family, because she knew that the so-called Yu family was just a pretense, and the people standing behind the Yu family The Han family is the master of this matter.
But Ren Yaoqi was not in a hurry to meet the people of the Han family, because she seemed very passive, and she was waiting for the people of the Han family to come to her.
The old man Han has been very comfortable and happy recently, because the enemy's family is going down step by step according to his design. He enjoys this process very much. The only pity is that the old man of the Ren family is too careless and died too much. Quick, thankfully he had arranged a wonderful ending scene.
Compared with the Ren family, which is declining, the Han family is getting more and more smooth.
Although the roots of the Han family in Yanbei are still shallow, they have gradually gained a firm foothold in Yanbei's aristocratic family over the past few years. The leader of Yanbei's younger generation was gradually compared with the eldest young master of the Yun family. He was also appreciated by Sheng Shihong, a famous official in Yanbei, and became his close disciple, with an unlimited future. Now the Han family is about to become in-law with the Yun family.
But in Mrs. Han's heart, these are far from enough. He wanted to let the Ren family pay back everything that the Zhai family suffered back then. In addition to taking back everything that originally belonged to the Han family, he wanted to see that everyone in the Ren family was impoverished. Die, so as to comfort the spirits of the ancestors of the Zhai family.
Originally, everything was going according to Grandpa Han's wishes. Seeing that Grandpa Han's long-cherished wish for many years is about to come true.
It's a pity that not long after the death of the old man, things began to change, and the Han family seemed to be the bad luck of the road, and began to be unlucky.
First, they competed with a Gao family who suddenly appeared out of nowhere for the grain and oil business in Shunzhou. In the end, the Han family was inexplicably defeated. Later, Mrs. Han found out that the Gao family was actually the wife and uncle's house of the big housekeeper of the Lei family. To put it bluntly, a lackey under the name of the Lei family, which was no match for the Gao family. The Jiang family is from Shunzhou. The Jiang family has both fame and connections in Shunzhou, but even the Ren family lost to the Jiang family.
Originally, the Han family thought it was just a coincidence, because the Han family underestimated the enemy.
But then, the Han family and the Yun family's newly opened salt wells in the northwest region also had problems.
Originally, based on the status of the Yun family in Yanbei and the connections of the Yun family, it was a sure thing to make money in the business of opening a salt well. This was the reason why the Han family chose to cooperate with the Yun family in the first place. I don't know where the problem is, but I only know that after the salt was mined from the salt well, the follow-up was broken and there was no market. This was something I had never encountered before.
At this time, not only the Han family, but also the Yun family began to notice that something was wrong.
The first to react were the two young people Han Yunqian and Yun Wenting.
