Qingguan smiled and said, "You divide the money into two parts, one part for your uncle and aunt to keep for self-defense, and one part for someone to send over there. With the money, the two children will suffer less. Don't refuse, this is what you are doing." A little thought from my sister.”
"Qingwan, my good sister." Lu Zhiyu burst into tears.
The Duke Dingguo's palace was in a desolate state, with only expenditures but no income. Thanks to the secret support of the historians in these years.
As a son-in-law, it is extremely difficult for Shi Lei to achieve this level of success. But there were so many places where money was needed, and she had no shame to open her mouth, so she could only look out of sight and keep it out of sight. When she was far away in Hangzhou, she could forget about her busy life; but after she came to Beijing and saw the scene of that mansion with her own eyes, her heart clenched again. Originally, I wanted to speak to the man shamelessly, but seeing that he was so busy that he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, I really couldn't bear to speak, so I could only endure it.
.
Seeing her bursting into tears, Qingguan felt her chest hurt even more, and said, "Stop crying. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. Don't keep it in your heart. It's not worth it."
Lu Zhiyu was startled, then wiped her tears, looked at her intently, and choked out: "Qingwan, you and your cousin are really alike."
Qingguan's heart tightened, "Where does it look like?"
Lu Zhiyu took a deep breath, "The same soft-heartedness, the same righteousness. It's just that she is soft on the outside, but you are soft on the inside."
Qingwan smiled slightly and looked at the bright window lattice - above the window lattice, there were a few green lights dancing in the shadows of the trees, and the face from her previous life floated above, with cold eyes piercing her eyes.
"Second sister, I am only soft-hearted towards you."
Lu Zhiyu stood still and said nothing for a long time.
In the study, Shi Lei typed out the abacus, copied the numbers on the paper, and handed it to Jiang Hongwen who was standing aside.
Jiang Hongwen took it and took a look and said in surprise: "There are so many of them on this day."
Shi Lei nodded and said: "This is just one bank in the capital. The total number of thirty-two is even greater."
Jiang Hongwen sighed repeatedly: "No wonder... No wonder."
Shi Lei had a slight smile on his lips, "I will stay in Beijing for another three days to straighten things out here. After three days, I will go to each branch and contact the local powerful families. I will leave the shop in Beijing to you. If you can't make up your mind about anything, ask the sick person."
Jiang Hongwen sighed and said, "Someone, send this to Prince Shou's Mansion."
The man in black broke into the door, took the paper handed by Jiang Hongwen, and left quietly.
"Let's go, Master Lei, to see the sick one."
Shi Lei's eyebrows twitched and he said: "Seventh Master, please."
"Master Qi, ancestor, please come over." The maid's voice sounded outside.
Jiang Hongwen and Shi Lei looked at each other and said helplessly: "I'll come as soon as I go. Someone, take Mr. Lei to Miss Sixth's courtyard."
As soon as Jiang Hongwen entered the courtyard of his ancestors, he saw his sister-in-law Zhu looking forward to it. He winked at her and said, "Sister-in-law, you have worked hard today."
"Old Qi, where have you been today? I..."
"Sister-in-law, wait until I meet my ancestors before I can help you clear up your doubts."
Jiang Hongwen walked past her, turned around and entered the inner room. He never thought that his mother Zhang was still in the room.
Looking back, Zhu also came in. When he saw this scene, he thought that it was thanks to Tinglin that A Li told him the truth, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with it today.
Without waiting for anyone to speak, he said bluntly: "According to Tinglin's investigation, Zhao Huayang did it. The purpose was to get Wu Yanling to marry into our house, so he designed to ruin Miss Sixth's reputation."
Mrs. Zhang was frightened when she heard this. This woman was too cruel to do such a cruel thing.
Mrs. Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. If she had known this, she should have spoken more harshly in the Gu Mansion today.
The ancestor had a faint sneer on his fat face, "What am I talking about? This woman has no idea what to say. She even wants to marry someone into the Jiang family and dream about it. Go ahead."
Madam Zhu asked in confusion: "Lao Qi, why did the princess take a fancy to our house?"
Jiang Hongwen didn't want to say more, "This matter involves a lot. Tinglin has told me that we can't say more or spread it outside. He has his own motives. Sister-in-law, don't ask."
"Did you hear everything?"
Mrs. Zhang stood up, tucked the brocade quilt in for her ancestor, and said, "I heard you all. My ancestor is resting well, and my daughter-in-law is leaving."
Mrs. Zhu glanced at Jiang Hongwen and helped Ms. Zhang go out.
Jiang Hongwen and others left, and he sat down on the bed carelessly. He put his arms around the old lady's waist and said, "Old ancestor, my grandson is exhausted today."
The ancestor stroked his forehead distressedly and said: "Those who achieve great things will naturally be tired. That child in Tinglin can't support himself alone, so you have to be there to help him."
Jiang Hongwen thought to himself, how could he be alone? The sick one at the back was so smart, but with her taking care of him, he was worth two.
"Are there guests in the backyard?"
Jiang Hongwen raised his head and said, "The ancestor's ear is still so good. She is the second daughter of Duke Dingguo who married into the Shi family. She was once a close friend of the eldest daughter of the Qian family and secretly took good care of the sixth lady. I just entered the house a few days ago. Jing, when he heard something happened to Miss Six, he ran over in a hurry. "
The ancestor closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "It turns out to be this girl. Among the girls in the Lu family, she has the best fate. If she can think of taking care of her old friend, this girl should be rewarded well."
When Jiang Hongwen heard this, his heart ached as he thought about the dead person. He buried his head and remained silent for a long time.
The ancestor patted him on the back and said: "Everyone has his own destiny, women. Foolish people are lucky. Go ahead and greet him properly. Our ancestor is getting older and has no energy to deal with the younger generation. There’s no need to come over and kowtow.”
"Yeah!" Jiang Hongwen responded dully.
Mrs. Zhang walked to the door of the courtyard and paused, "That child is so pitiful. Let's go see her."
Mrs. Zhu thought about Lao Qi's explanation and said, "Let's go tomorrow. It's too late now and she's sick again."
"Choose some tonics from the warehouse tomorrow, and be sure not to wrong the child."
Mrs. Zhu smiled and said: "I must go and see it. It's late at night, I will take my wife back to her room."
Mrs. Zhang didn't move and said, "I'm afraid those unpleasant words from outside have been spread into the house. You will be the one to beat them when you take care of the house tomorrow."
Zhu's heart moved and she nodded in agreement.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gradually walked away in the night.
Shi Songyin and Yinzhen were standing under the shade of a tree and talking, when they saw someone coming with a lantern not far away. When he walked in, they saw it was their eldest brother Shi Lei.
"Why are you standing outside?"
Shi Songyin smiled and said, "The room is too stuffy. I'll go outside to get some fresh air and wait for my brother."
Shi Lei stroked her hair and said, "Let's go in and have a look."
The Shi brothers and sisters entered the wing. Qingguan's eyes lit up when he saw Shi Lei coming over, "Brother-in-law is here."
Shi Lei stepped forward, patted Lu Zhiyu's shoulder with his right hand, and looked at Qingguan silently, "I'm going to be scared to death by you."
Qingguan gave a faint smile and said, "Brother-in-law Lao is worried, but he still took time out of his busy schedule to see me."
Shi Lei said: "Such a big thing has happened to you. No matter how busy you are, you still have to come and see me. Otherwise, how could your second sister spare me?"
Qingguan smiled weakly and said: "Take the person away quickly, crying makes my chest hurt even more."
Shi Lei lowered his head, looked into his wife's eyes, and said helplessly: "Songyin, accompany your sister-in-law to wash up outside. We will leave in a while."
As soon as the aunt and sister-in-law went outside, Shi Lei sat down in front of Qingguan's bed and said in a low voice: "The bank is going very well. I will leave in three days, and it will take four to five months at the earliest, and I won't be back until half a year at the earliest. Your affairs are my business. It will be done.”
Qingguan's mind changed slightly and said: "Brother-in-law, go with peace of mind. Second sister, I will take care of Songyin. Later, I will ask Qian Fu to send over the money for buying the land."
Shi Lei nodded and said: "The Crown Princess has passed away, and there is a bit of chaos in the mansion right now. I'm afraid your second sister will have to go there often. I'm worried about Songyin and want to keep her by your side."
Qingguan took a deep look at him and said, "Let her live in Jin Mansion. Qian Fu, Yueniang, Chunni, and Yinzhen are all familiar to her. We are separated by a wall. If anything happens, I will be there."
Shi Lei met her eyes, smiled slightly and said, "It's good for you to be healthy and be careful in everything. Don't be plotted by others like this time."
Qingwan's eyes darkened, and she said, "Don't worry, brother-in-law. When have I ever been calculated for nothing?"
As soon as the Shi family left, Qingguan called Qian Fu and Yinzhen in.
"Uncle Fu, you go to Duke Ding's mansion tomorrow to treat Duke Ding. From now on, on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, you will go there to have a Ping'an pulse diagnosis. The medicinal materials will be taken from Qingfeng Hall."
Qian Fu was well aware of the friendship between the young lady and Duke Dingguo, so he nodded in agreement.
"Brother-in-law will leave in three days. You can see him off for me."
Qian Fu knew it well and said, "Don't worry, miss, everything has been prepared."
Qingguan said again: "Yin Zhen, please allocate one hundred thousand taels of silver from the account to the second sister."
Yinzhen was startled and whispered: "Miss, you want so many, what are they for?"
Qingwan glanced at her, unable to hold on, and slowly closed her eyes.
Yinzhen stuck out her tongue, regretting that she had talked too much, and hurriedly waited for the young lady to go to bed.
Qian Fu was worried and quietly checked his pulse again before retreating.
When Jiang Hongwen walked to Qingguan Courtyard, the lights in the back room were turned off, and only the main room was still on. He smiled and said, "Are you tired?"
Qian Fu said: "Young lady talked too much today, I just took a break."
"How are you?"
"It will take a month or two to recover."
Jiang Hongwen thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow I will release a few people outside the hospital, and I will stop everyone who comes."
Qian Fu thanked her hurriedly: "Thank you, Master Qi. Master Qi, the Jin Mansion has prepared two maids who are good at fisting and kicking. I want to put them in front of the young lady. You see..."
"Just let it in. Even if you don't say anything, Tinglin and I would like to find two for her outside."
When we returned to the Shijia Courtyard, it was almost three quarters to one hour.
Shi Songyin was about to go back to his room, but was held back by his brother.
Shi Lei stroked her hair and said dotingly, "Brother has been busy these days and has not been able to take care of you. When Qingguan recovers from his illness, I will send you to the Jin Mansion to keep you company."
Shi Songyin's starry eyes flashed and she said with a smile: "Brother wants to send me there, do you have to go outside?" Shi Lei scratched her slightly straight nose and said with a smile: "You are such a ghost, I can't hide anything from you. My eldest brother has taken on a big business and is going to travel around a lot. I think it will take several months. Your sister-in-law has affairs in the mansion and has three children. She is afraid that she will not be able to take care of her well, so you might as well live in the Jin Mansion.
. Shi Songyin raised her pretty face and said angrily: "Hmph... Brother is not afraid that sister-in-law will not take good care of her. He clearly has other thoughts." "
