Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 127
Aunt Bei expected that this trip would not go well, but she had no choice.Many people are staring at the accounts of Liang Guogong's mansion. Zhu Ting can't get the money out, and her son and grandson have to spend a lot of money to maintain a decent life in the capital.

If she could, she didn't want her grandson to marry a woman who had been expelled from the family. Her grandson was worthy of those decent ladies.But who makes the capital more snobbish? Those noble girls think that her son has no official position, or that her grandson is inferior in appearance and education.

Zhu Ting's meaning is very clear, Cheng Fu is rich, first marry someone, and take all the Cheng family's property into his hands, then how to dispose of it later is not very casual.At that time, her grandson will be rich and famous, and he will not be able to marry any kind of noble woman.

"Your parents are free to make decisions about marriage, who didn't come here like this. My grandson is one year older than you, and his appearance and knowledge are all first-class..." before he finished speaking, he fell down straight, his head hit the bluestone slab, bleeding As noted, the person is already unconscious.

"Ah—killed——"

"You, you... killed people... Aunt..."

The people brought by Aunt Bei didn't expect such a result, they were in chaos, and lost their way for a while.

The smell of blood filled the air, and Ye Xuexin wanted to vomit. Just now, she was fooled by the old woman who was lying on the ground: she said that she was a relative of the siblings of the Cheng family, and that she came all the way from the capital to visit the siblings, and that everyone in Duke Liang's mansion missed them. .Speaking of crying later, it was very difficult.

Ye Xuexin was shaken, thinking that the Gu family wanted to save the siblings, but they didn't know that they sold her without Cheng Fu's knowledge.She was so angry that she couldn't speak, she pointed at the woman on the ground and wanted to swear a few words, but the education she had received since she was a child did not allow this, so she could only hold back.In the end, it was Cheng Fu who coaxed her home.

"Stay away, don't dirty the door of Cheng's house." Xiao Guozi asked people to fetch water and a broom to wash the floor.

Aunt Bei was unconscious, but she was still angry, so it shouldn't be a big problem, but the servants of the Cheng family were vicious, and they couldn't stay any longer, so everyone worked together to drag Aunt Bei into the carriage, and left the gate of Cheng's house as if they were fleeing. .

As soon as they left, Cheng Han immediately asked Fan Yu to find out why the members of the Zhu family came to Jinling suddenly.But Cheng Fu just thought it was ridiculous, expelled her family, and sold her with her gengtie, really thick-skinned.

"Things like Geng Tie can be big or small. If the miss is not the Gu family now, I don't know how they will arrange it." Helping Cheng Fu wash and change clothes in the room, Wen Xiang is not very happy when he thinks about the previous things.

"Miss, why did Mrs. Liang Guogong have your Geng Tie?" Zhu Ting only entered the door after their siblings left.

Cheng Fu didn't think it was too strange, "Isn't Geng Tie just a generation of horoscopes?"

Gu Zheng and the old lady are naturally familiar with each other, and there must be something in the old family tree and genealogy.Why did Zhu Ting know, of course she knew it from the Gu family.As for whether it was a bad idea she came up with or someone deliberately guided it, Cheng Fu didn't bother to check.It's not worth the hassle to get promoted for such crap.

The sound of tick-tock outside became more and more intense, and the cold rain in the autumn night came as soon as it was said.

After dinner, Xu Ye went back to his yard to handle some official business, while the younger siblings sat on the corridor outside the study to watch the rain.After the fall of Jinling, the little maids spread thick woolen blankets on the wooden floor very neatly.This is mainly affected by Luo Xing's habits, he likes to sleep by the door and eat snacks in a daze.

"What do you think they are going to do?"

Cheng Fu believes that their brother and sister are still taboos in the Gu family, and no one dares to be blatant on the premise of others, so they don't understand why Gu Changyu is the first, and Zhu Ting is the second... so who will be next?
After the tea was brewed, Cheng Han added hot tea to his sister's cup, "It's not that it's so ugly when you have nowhere to go."

A majestic lady of the Duke's Mansion, knowing that the so-called step-son and step-daughter are irrelevant, but she still sticks to it like a fool, thinking that the two brothers and sisters have no parents or relatives to support them. She handles it.

"elder brother……"

Cheng Han stared at the raindrops in a daze, "Huh?"

"Second brother is going back to Beijing soon." Cheng Fu said softly.

Cheng Han was slightly stunned, "Yeah." That's right, how could he forget this.

There is one person who hates the Gu family more than their siblings.

After finishing his official duties, Xu Ye came over with an umbrella, and Cheng Han set out a new teacup for him. It happened that Wen Xiang and two little maids came over with a food box, which contained freshly made snacks and cut melons and fruits.

All qualitative cases of Wen and Guo have been sent to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Luo Shen did not disclose, but Xu Ye was handling these cases before, so he knows the approximate amount.These two will lose a lot of money.

Cheng Fu was a little curious about how these two families would pay for the debt. Lai definitely couldn't do it. The illegal occupation of land in Hangzhou had just subsided not long ago, so who would dare to cover it up?

The three of them were talking, and Wu Ying came to the door despite the rain.

"The cost is paid by yourself, but the profit is not in your own pocket." It depends on whether the two companies can dig out what others have already eaten, otherwise they can only pay the sufferer for compensation.

Hearing such nonsense, Wu Ying, who had just taken her seat, just wanted to say that she deserved it, "I only realized in the past two years what the situation of these aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River is." shrinking.So much so that now they have to use such dirty means for some money.

"If you want to change more than ten years ago, who cares about things like money, mentioning this word is humiliating. I will treat you as a Zhuangzi. We are in-laws. You can't argue with me. If you kill my woman, I can't ask you to pay for it." But some people are like sheep. They are the ones who are bullied every time. If they are bald, they will be poor and their population will decrease. The accumulation of grievances will become what they are today. Needing each other and harming each other is the current situation. Jiangnan." Even though he was strangled until he couldn't breathe, no one dared to let go of anyone, and no one was willing to take advantage of anyone when something was profitable.

"Take Lu Qing as an example. Didn't he abandon the darkness and come to our place? After the success of the 'Two Rivers Market', Mrs. Guo wrote a letter to his daughter-in-law in person. Go back to Guo's house." The letter spoke badly about Liang Hexuan, bad-mouthing Wu Ying and Cheng Fu not far away, and I don't know who analyzed it for her, it really seemed like that.

For example, Wu Ying can't beat the Wu family, and Cheng Fu will marry sooner or later, and then the two of them will be too busy to take care of themselves, so they don't care about the life and death of the subordinates.

Lu Qing admired Cheng Fu very much, and originally wanted to reply a letter of apology tactfully, but the old woman became more and more vocal, criticizing a woman like Cheng Fu who had once shown her face indiscreetly in the future. Hurry up and take your family back to Suzhou, lest your reputation be burdened by her.

Lu Qing was so angry that he tore up the letter without replying a word.

In fact, it wasn't just the Guo family who were looking for Lu Qing, several aristocratic families and wealthy firms were interested in poaching Lu Qing.On the one hand, he was a senior manager in the Guo family, and he has nothing to say about his connections. On the other hand, he is familiar with the operation mode of Lianghexuan, and many people now want to imitate Lianghexuan.Lu Qing, whom everyone hated before, has now become a hot talent.

Cheng Fu is not surprised that someone has taken a fancy to Lu Qing, Liang Hexuan is now even the clerical brothers are in high demand, it's all because everyone recognizes her and Wu Ying's abilities.

What she cared more about was the aristocratic family that Wu Ying talked about, and her cognition gap with her was getting bigger and bigger.

When mentioning the word aristocratic family, I feel that either they are all very well-educated people, each generation has produced great Confucianism, and there are countless collections in the family, with a profound heritage; What's so important, such as Danshu iron coupons, rely on these to make the tribe's thoughts cohere.What they have in common is a thriving population, rich ancestral property, obedience to stereotypes, clinging together, dislike of variables, and intermarriage with well-matched families, etc.

However, after the long-distance race, there were so many lawsuits, she saw anxious and distorted faces hidden under the glitz.It's all mortals.

"Did you come here at this time to do something else?" The rain was heavy, and it seemed that it was going to fall until tomorrow.

Wu Ying glanced at Cheng Han and Xu Ye, and felt that there was nothing to hide, so she said directly, "Wu Zhenzhen's marriage is almost inseparable, but I haven't found out which one it is, but the Zong family's straightforward At least he must be a county king." Wu Zhenrou has already married into a family, and Wu Ziqi's support in the family's side has been stabilized in the future, so the rest is outside.

This is also the reason why Wu Zhenzhen was portrayed as the princess of Jinling. It is true that Wu Lingzuo and Guo Shi love her, but what they value most is Wu Ziqi, that is their hope.If you can make Wu Zhenzhen beautiful and bring great benefits to the Wu family at the same time, why not do it.

As for whether Wu Zhenzhen likes it or not, it doesn't matter anymore. The matter of Xu Ye has already shown that she has no such fate.In fact, Wu Lingzuo had seriously considered Xu Ye's, otherwise he wouldn't have made so many jokes before.After all, Xu Jiancheng is the most respected courtier today, and marrying into the Xu family may be more reliable than any royal relatives.

It's a pity that Xu Ye doesn't take the Wu family seriously at all, and Wu Lingzuo can see the reality, they can't beat the Xu family now.

"If there is no accident, there will be people from the Wu family happily going to Lianghexuan to ask for money, so please ignore them."

The little girl didn't know what to say, "Huh?"

Wu Ying was helpless, "I also heard in the afternoon that Mrs. Wu asked each family in the clan to give 1000 taels to Wu Zhenzhen as a silver box." He was still a member of the Wu family, so Mrs. Wu would naturally not let him go.But after being taught like that last time, she decided not to go to Wu Ying, most likely she was asking the elders of the clan to go to Lianghexuan to ask them for money.

Most people in the clan are living a worse and worse life now, and 1000 taels is no different from killing someone.Wu Ying has reason to believe that many people will come to him to borrow money in the end.

The little girl looked at Xu Ye, "Didn't you say they made a lot of money from the long-distance race?" There must be a hundred thousand taels, right?Isn't this money enough to be used as a press box?

"It's a lot of money." I started with tens of thousands of taels for the business space alone, and got another sum from the commission. The income of my own shop facing the street for a few days... Generally speaking, it is more than a hundred thousand taels.

Before the opening of the tavern, although the business environment in Jinling was good, the income was by no means as high as it is now.

A gouache shop earns an average of ten taels of silver with interest every day, which is considered a good business; if a blacksmith shop only sharpens knives, it can earn less than two hundred cash a day. , to earn more than [-] Wen.

Not to mention tofu curds and steamed buns. A bowl of bean curd costs two pennies, a large white steamed bun for one penny, a vegetarian steamed bun for three pennies, and a meat bun for five pennies.So many people still think it's expensive.

After the tavern and Lianghexuan opened successively, many people improved their lives by helping Cheng Fu with odd jobs and solved the urgent need. Last year's long-distance race directly changed the business atmosphere, and many small workshops that were not dead or alive were revitalized. There are also many new types of jobs, and some people can earn a lot just by taking guests on outings during the holidays.What's more important is the change in concept. Making money is no longer such an embarrassing thing, and more people are willing to use their brains to make a living.

Of course, it's not just ordinary people who have been changed. Lianghexuan's crazy money collection has moved the hearts of the usually supercilious aristocratic families.But they are not as down-to-earth as ordinary people, and they don't see why Lianghexuan makes so much money, they only see money.

Pure greed drove this year's long-distance race to this end.

"The clan has drained the entire clan, so how can they be short of money. They just want to take advantage of it." But how many people in the clan are willing to suck it up for them?
Cheng Fu was speechless, "It's too ugly." What happened today, I was disgusted twice in a row.

But looking at Wu Ying's face of watching the fire from the other side, I'm afraid that not only will he not pay a penny, but he may do something else to intensify the conflict and disgust Guo.

Wu Ying is now so rich that he can't sleep every day, and 1000 taels is not enough for him to wear new clothes. It doesn't matter if he can't afford the money, but obviously he would rather use it to vote for the children in the small theater than spend it on the Wu family.

The little brother had already started yawning, so Cheng Fu asked everyone to have a late-night snack and then go back to each house to find their mothers.

Before leaving, Wu Ying thought of something, "But I think the Jing family is almost done."

"what?"

"A matter of the family."

Cheng Fu was stunned, and a little skeptical, "Master Jing Er and the Wu family are in the same spirit, aren't they?" She is not as optimistic as Wu Ying.

Wu Ying thought for a while, but didn't refute. This matter is indeed the result of his observation, but it's hard to say what will happen to the Jing family in the end.

Back in the study, Cheng Han had already gone to sleep, Xu Ye lay on her desk with half-opened eyes, drowsy.Beautiful men are sleepy and pleasing to the eye.No, now is not the time to look at beautiful men.

"Send me back." She simply stopped busy, otherwise this person didn't know how long she would be with her.

Xu Ye shook his head sleepily, "You write." His voice was nasal.

This is too cute~!

There seemed to be something roaring in Cheng Fu's mind.

In desperation, she spread out the paper quickly, and concentrated on writing after the pen was stained with ink.It didn't take much time to write two chapters of the new story. At this time, Xu Ye was still struggling, and her heart ached.

"Do you think I'm tall?" On the way back to the house, she compared her head.

"Well, you have grown up." You have everything you should have.

"Did you peek at me?"

Xu Ye was disdainful, "Am I that kind of person?"

"Really? I often peek at you." The little girl was proud.

The umbrella in Xu Ye's hand was almost clenched, and he pretended to be reserved: "I know you are greedy for my beauty, but after all, we are not married yet, so you have to restrain yourself."

"Yo~"

"Don't be so flippant."

"Hee hee~"

Xu Ye was amused by her, and just walked to the house, "Stop reading when you go to bed, and go to sleep right away, you know?"

"Okay—" Yingde was particularly refreshing.

Standing outside, Xu Ye saw that the door of her room was closed, and a few little girls were talking with her inside, helping her to wash up, and then slowly turned and walked towards his yard.I muttered in my heart, I will be able to enter the house together in a short time...

"Bei Shi is Zhu Ting's father's concubine. He has been with him for decades. He has a son. Now his grandson is grown up, and he is about the same age as Miss Cheng." Lu Yan is now free to enter and leave Cheng's house.

Xu Ye has always known the situation of Zhu Ting's family, and he also knew that her father had a concubine, but he never cared about it, thinking that the concubine would not be able to make trouble.She didn't expect that Zhu Ting had the lowest status in Zhu's family, and she didn't expect that Aunt Bei was so courageous that she would come to Jinling to force her to marry her.

Zhu Ting's father's house is a side branch, and the whole family is attached to Concubine Zhu Xian's natal family, and because there are too many relatives who spend money, Concubine Zhu Xian's natal family is now known as Dazhu's family.Zhu Ting's father wants to live a decent life in this house, but he has no ability to earn money. Most of the time they live on a tight schedule.

"Tell this to Mr. Zhu." Since he is planning to become the emperor's serious father-in-law, he should know that if those who are dragging their feet stay at home, there will be endless troubles.

Capital
Aunt Bei returned to the capital in a state of embarrassment. She wanted to rest for a day and ask the doctor to take a good look at the injury on the back of her head, and then went to Gu's house to find Zhu Ting to think about the future.In the end, I wished my family members to refuse to let them in. They also said that their room had moved out, and they didn't say where they moved.In desperation, Aunt Bei had to go to Liang Guogong's mansion to find Zhu Ting, only to learn that the whole family now lives in Liang Guogong's mansion.

Zhu Ting didn't see them, but Aunt Lin took her to the side courtyard where Zhu's family lived.

"I heard that the masters also bought houses. Why do you have to come to the Duke's Mansion? Let me tell you something you don't like to hear. There are many people living in the Duke's Mansion now, not less than the Zhu family. Then You'll know the small side courtyard later, it's so crowded that there's no room to turn around." There were exaggerations in her words, but they weren't all lies.

After Gu Yanyun got married, Zhou Fangyan, the wife of the eldest son, occupied a large area of ​​the mansion in one go, and she did not allow others to use Gu Changxi's Changle Courtyard. , there are several aunts and a group of housemates in the mansion.

Although the Gu family had ample space, the rest of it was a side courtyard that had been in disrepair for a long time. If they wanted to live in it, they had to ask the old lady for money to repair it.

When there are no outsiders, Aunt Bei regards herself as a serious wife, so now a concubine clearly does not welcome the Zhu family in front of her, how could she swallow this breath, and immediately stretched out her hand and twisted Lin Shui'er's arm vigorously. Wow, Lin Shui'er was wrung so hard that she wept bitterly, and ran away whining.

"Auntie, will she complain? After all, we are guests now." The little maid asked worriedly.

This time Jinling's going straight was not going well, which made Aunt Bei lose her composure. Now she felt that she was impulsive just now. This is the Gu family after all. Lin Shuier is no longer a member of the Zhu family, but Gu Zheng's famous concubine in the government.But Lin Shui'er didn't know where she went, and now she couldn't catch up if she wanted to.

The more she thought about it, the worse she became. Aunt Bei suppressed her irritability. After thinking about it, only Zhu Ting can protect her, so she quickened her pace and went to the side courtyard where the masters lived, and then made plans after knowing the truth.

Zhu Ting was really in a state of distress. She lied to Gu Zheng that her family was temporarily staying for a while because the house outside had not been repaired. On the other hand, she had to deal with the temptations of the old lady and Zhou Fangyan.

It's not that she hasn't persuaded her natal family to live in a house outside, her own home is always more comfortable.But the group of young and old in Zhu's family seemed to be determined by her, they would rather huddle in the small yard and live under the fence than go out to live an independent life.

What's worse is that the fact that her natal family was kicked out by Zhu's family is actually related to her. She sent Aunt Bei to Jinling, and before Aunt Bei came back, the matter reached Concubine Zhu Xian's father's ears, so Her mother's family was kicked out.

She had originally thought of turning a dead horse into a living horse doctor, but if things came to pass, Cheng Fu's money would be enough for her natal family to live a life of luxury and well-fed, and she would no longer have to rely on other people's noses and their faces.However, she really underestimated this "Miss Gu San" who had never met, and because the other party didn't know what to do, she despised her natal nephew and hated him.

It's just that she can't protect herself right now, so there's no way for her to find trouble with Cheng Fu.

She didn't know if there was a woman like her who gnawed her husband's family to pieces in order to support her natal family. What she was worried about was that although the Gu family was in her hands now, the old lady had to check the accounts every day, and she didn't dare to move a penny at all. money.

Her dowry was quietly sent back to her natal family within a few days after entering the Gu family. Originally, she only had the Gu family as a reliable ship, so even though she was dissatisfied with Gu Zheng's dissatisfaction with the old lady, she tried her best to endure it. The whole natal family will come to eat themselves.She couldn't imagine how she would live in the future.
