Chapter 663 Forcing the palace (please subscribe!)
All of Second Aunt's unhappiness began in Jinling.

When I was in Jingzhou, everyone knew that she was the second wife of Duke Wei's mansion, who wouldn't respect her?

And at that time, we didn't talk about being rich, but at the very least, money was not a problem for her, as long as she wanted to, she would have money.

But after coming to Jinling, everything is different!
In Jinling, where she was not familiar, no one would sell her face, and some people would point and point at her after knowing that she was from the Zhang family from Jingzhou, which was obviously mocking.

The most important thing is that after coming to Jinling this time, most of the Zhang family's limited money was used to buy a house—and in order to save money, they even bought a house that was very, very small for her!

It turned out that when they were in Jingzhou, each of them had a separate yard, which was considered a little thoughtful, but the house they live in now, let alone a separate yard, it would be great if they could share a house!

There are people living on the opposite side of the next door, and you can see people every day when you open the door, not to mention how embarrassing it is.

What made her even more unbearable was that in Jinling's mansion, there was not even a servant!
But this is also conceivable, after all, the house is so small that even they are nervous to live in, let alone adding more servants?
The servant is really here, where do you live?
In order to save money, the Zhang family finally managed to live on their own for so many years, but no one was surprised by this, instead they complained endlessly!
The second aunt will never forget that when she went out with a spittoon in the morning, she would run into other people head-on. For her, this was the most embarrassing moment in her life!
She felt that she had suffered enough grievances this time, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, because she still had a belief that they still had the foundation of the theater. As long as the theater was opened, the Zhang family would have a steady stream of money!
Then you won't have to worry about running out of money!

Therefore, most of the money left by the Zhang family after buying the house was invested in the operation of the theater.

In the first few days, the theater was full of people every day, and the business was good. All the Zhang family members, including the second aunt, were overjoyed, thinking that their hard work would finally pay off. up!
But what she thought was a good day didn't last a few days.

About less than a week later, the business of the theater suddenly became deserted, and it became more and more deserted, so that in the end, the audience who came to the theater was not as many as the servants and gentlemen in the theater!
How does this make money?

Later they learned that the reason why the business plummeted like a cliff was because a theater opened next door to them!
The plays performed in this theater are all the plays they have performed before, and the husbands are all newcomers. It stands to reason that they are not as attractive as their Twelve Theater, but the result is different from what they thought. Everyone ran to the next door go!
In the end, they found out that the theater next door was jointly opened by Zhao Qingfeng, Sui Yuxuan and Kang Wangshizi. As for the means used to force others to go to the theater, there is no need to mention it.

And even if you know, so what?
Jinling was originally their territory, if Zhang Guogong was still in power, they would not dare to treat them like this, but now that Zhang Guogong is demoted, they are no different from ordinary people, why don't others dare to touch them?

And she also heard that there was only one reason why these people joined forces to deal with them, and that was that when Zhang Twelve was in Jinling, he offended them all badly!

Although Zhang Twelve is not here now, it is only natural for them to take revenge on the Zhang family!

When I heard this, the dissatisfaction that Second Aunt had suppressed when Zhang Guogong was demoted broke out all of a sudden!

She has never hated Zhang Twelve as much as she does now!

This troublemaker!
When she was in Jingzhou, she caused trouble everywhere. No matter who she was, he would offend him. At that time, she told Zhang Guogong to let him take care of Zhang Twelve, so as not to cause big mistakes in the future!
But at that time, Zhang Twelve was in favor, who would listen to her?

Now, now it's all right!

Therefore, she hated Zhang Twelve very much. If it wasn't for him, how could they live in such a horrible life?

People may be like this, they never think about their own reasons, and they don't think about how much favor others have given her, but when she is not going well, it turns out that all good things are worthless in her eyes!
This, perhaps, is human nature!

Anyway, the current Second Aunt has already decided that instead of living so half-dead and losing money every day in the theater, it is better to sell the theater now, and sell it for a good price, which can also improve their lives!

How about putting a theater there as an eyesore, and losing money every day, even if the family has money, they can't afford such a loss?

What's more, there is no money!
So today, taking advantage of the presence of everyone in the family, she spoke out her thoughts.

After saying this, she secretly glanced at the woman sitting across from her, and gave her a wink. This woman is Zhang Mansheng's wife and Zhang Tangyu's mother!

That is, Zhang Twelve's third aunt, and this second aunt are "good sisters-in-law", so it is not surprising that they have reached a united front!

After the second aunt finished speaking, the third aunt also stood up and said with a smile: "Father, I think there is nothing wrong with what the second sister-in-law said!
Take a look at the current Twelve Theater, the gentlemen in the backstage and the servants in the front stage combined are much more than the people who come to the theater, how can you make money?

I looked at the account book of the theater yesterday, and it was shocking!

Not to mention making money, there are not a few tea expenses that are paid every day!That's not counting the monthly salaries of gentlemen and servants!

If it goes on like this, the remaining savings of our family will not be enough to pay for it in a few days. At that time, will it be possible to sell the house and pay for it?
If Dad thinks so, then I have nothing to say! "

This third aunt is not a good person, although listening to her words did not force Zhang Guogong, but the meaning revealed in these words is more powerful than forcing him!
That means clearly, if the theater is not sold, the family will pay for it in the future!

After saying this, the front hall became quiet, and a needle could be heard!
Zhang Guogong's face was extremely ugly, he never thought that he had been a military man for most of his life, who would not be respectful when seeing him?

In the end, he was forced into this position by his two daughters-in-law?
He smiled wryly in his heart, feeling that his life was such a failure!
Zhang Mansheng, who was standing next to him, saw his father's face darken and suddenly changed, and immediately angrily said: "Ignorant woman, what do you know? How should these things be done, it's not up to you, a woman, to intervene!

Come on, apologize to father!Otherwise, let's see how I deal with you! "

"Ha ha……"

As soon as he finished speaking, the third aunt hadn't replied yet, but the second aunt next to her sneered first: "Old man, the second sister-in-law doesn't want to listen to what you said! What do you mean women should not interfere? What do you call an ignorant woman?" ?
Come on, take a look at the original restaurant and theater, who is behind it?Isn't it a woman? Is it a man? "

What Second Aunt said was true, the previous restaurants and theaters were run by Lu Fujing and Qin Yutong, so they were naturally the women that Zhang Mansheng talked about.

But what Zhang Mansheng was talking about was not Qin Yutong and the others, this was something that a person could hear, and now the second aunt was just distorting his meaning!

So Zhang Mansheng quickly distinguished: "I'm not talking about Yutong and Fu Jing!"

"Then who are you talking about? Me?"

The second aunt's eyes turned cold, and then she sneered, "Third son, you deserve to be called me because of a waste like you who only knows how to do nothing and eat lazy things?

Why don't you take a pee and look in the mirror to see what virtue you have! "

What you said was a bit embarrassing, especially in front of all the Zhang family members, Zhang Mansheng's face turned red immediately, pointing at the second aunt and saying "you you you" non-stop, but he didn't know what to say What.

The woman opposite is also his second sister-in-law. According to her seniority, she can scold herself, but if he scolds her too, it will be considered rude!

Although Zhang Mansheng really didn't have much potential, fortunately he had read poetry and books since he was a child, so he understood this kind of etiquette, so he restrained himself from speaking.

Although Zhang Mansheng fell silent, the matter did not end there!

After the second aunt finished speaking, the third aunt who had been silent for a while looked at Zhang Mansheng with a sneer, and said sarcastically, "Oh, this is the first time I've heard you say harsh words, I'm so scared!

But I want to ask, if I don't listen, how will you deal with me? "

When she said this, the third aunt's eyes were full of fierce light, but Zhang Mansheng, who kept his head down, didn't notice it.

Just now he was scolded by his second aunt, and he lost all face. Now facing his own wife, why doesn't he have to straighten his back once?
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense in the end! If you make me unhappy, be careful and I will divorce you!"

In Zhang Mansheng's view, the Zhang family is a gold-lettered signboard. How many women flocked to it in the past, but he just chose the current wife. If he said to divorce her, she would be scared to death, right?
It's just that he forgot one thing, the current Zhang family is not comparable to the original Zhang family, and the current wife's thoughts are not comparable to the original one!
"Oh, divorce me? I'm so scared!"

Seeing the exaggerated expression on the third aunt's face, Zhang Mansheng frowned, because she said she was afraid, but why did the expression on her face seem a little gloating?
He was right, and then, the third aunt continued: "However, you seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, is the current Zhang family or the original Zhang family?
Do you really think I still miss the Zhang family?To tell you the truth, the Zhang family has nothing now, and following you is nothing but suffering. Do you think I am willing to follow you?
Don't you want to divorce me?Then hurry up, it happens that I can also be freed!thank you! "

"you…………"

Zhang Mansheng was so angry that he couldn't speak.

He really dared to divorce Third Aunt?
As the third aunt said just now, he did not dare, and at this juncture, if it spreads out, it will first cause him a bad reputation, and on the other hand, Zhang Mansheng feels that he is afraid that he will end up alone...

But he just kept silent, and he couldn't hold back his face.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Mansheng shook his sleeves fiercely, and then said coldly: "A group of crazy women, I don't want to bother with you!"

After leaving these words, Zhang Mansheng walked out of the front hall without looking back.

After he left, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that seeing is out of sight, they make as much noise as they like, anyway, he doesn't care, as long as he can live comfortably at home!

Zhang Mansheng's thoughts and strength interpret the vivid image of a cowardly man...

………………

As soon as Zhang Mansheng left, the front hall fell into silence again.

At this time, Zhang Guogong felt that he should come forward, but what should he say when he came forward?

Agree with them, sell the Twelve Theater?

However, he was also a little unwilling. This was the last thought he had for his grandson. If all of this was sold, how would he explain to him when we meet again in the future?

And this time it's not just a matter of selling a theater, but if they are really forced to sell the theater, it means that they have bowed to others in Jinling's territory, and anyone can bully the Zhang family in the future!

But if they don't sell it, as the two said just now, the current theater cannot make ends meet, so is there any hope if you keep it in your hands?

At this time, Zhang Guogong raised his head, his eyes were cloudy, and he glanced at the young women sitting under the stage.

They are still insisting, can you give up by yourself?

At this time, Second Aunt forced Gong Gong again: "Father, the Zhang family has reached this point now, you can't just watch the Zhang family decline more and more?"

"Yes, dad, let's make a decision! Now, the theater can still sell for a good price! If the theater is really worthless in the future, even if we want to sell it again, I'm afraid no one will want it!"

The two aunts persuaded together, Zhang Guogong frowned and fell into thinking.

At this time, Lu Fujing, who had been sitting down without speaking, couldn't bear it any longer, stood up and said, "You two aunts, please be safe and don't be impatient!

What the two aunts said just now is true, the Twelve Theater is now in a quagmire, and they haven't made any money recently..."

"It's not that I didn't earn, but I kept losing!"

The third aunt gave Lu Fujing a white look, and said very dissatisfied.

"Yes, it's losing money."

Lu Fujing nodded and continued: "But do the two aunts know why the theater loses money?
That's because many of the old gentlemen in our theater went to the Qingfeng Theater next door for some reason, resulting in a shortage of manpower in our theater, and it is impossible to act!

And after those gentlemen went to the next door, they brought all of our previous plays there, which is why so many people in Jinling were attracted to Qingfeng Theater to watch plays!
Although we have been losing money recently, it is precisely because of the popularity of Qingfeng Theater, isn't it our opportunity? "

(I don’t know if there are any brothers who are waiting for the update. The state is not very good these two days. After the update, I am going to rest. Good night everyone...)
