Dusk four, the setting sun red sky, in the blue water Castle Peak on the plating of a dazzling golden light.
The eaves of the ancestral hall were raised high. Several sparrows fell on the scarlet debris, pecked at the insects and flew away with their wings.
At first, the elders were waiting in the side room of the ancestral hall. Gradually, some of them could not sit still. They came to the open space outside the ancestral hall. After standing in the open space for a while, they itched and walked to the entrance of the back mountain.
There is a simple shed at the entrance. The servants who are specially responsible for sweeping the ancestral temple occasionally have a rest here. It's usually very cold, but today it's crowded.
Qi Chang was the lightest and the most dispirited. He walked up and down the entrance with his negative hand, frowning and sighing bitterly: "I shouldn't have allowed them to enter. Were they all in a hurry at that time? How could you listen to that old woman? "
There is no doubt that the old woman he talks about is Meng. Meng was originally born as an aunt. He became an old lady of Qiao's family by virtue of his son these years. Obviously, everyone respected her. In private, it seems that it's not the same thing.
After hearing what the seven elders said, all of them did not dare to say anything. Why did they agree to this absurd contest at that time? In the final analysis, it was because they were so guilty that they had no face to stay in that room. How could they care whether Meng's method was reliable or not?
After a cool afternoon here, I finally realized that Meng's method was ridiculous.
Unfortunately, it's too late. Everyone's in.
Only pray that at least one party will come out safely, otherwise the two heads of the family will die under their eyes. When they are old enough, they will not have the face to see the ancestors of the Qiao family.
"Look! Someone's coming out! " The old man yelled.
All the elders stood up one after another and stretched their necks to look at the entrance. From a distance, it was not clear. The branches on the way blocked their appearance. One of them was in a wheelchair.
"Who remembers what color of clothes Zhong Qing wore today?" Seven elder asked.
Elder six: "maroon?"
Four elder: "Tibet blue color?"
The second elder sighed, "it's black."
Four elder eyes a bright: "wheelchair is black! It's Zhongqing! It's Zhongqing and the second master coming out! "
The second elder said, "the master is also wearing black."
Four elders smile, almost at the same time, a plain hand pulled away the branch in front of the body, showing that amazing face.
Ding!
Yi qianyin's fingers rang the wheelchair bell.
The sound of the bell is short and clear as a song, and the birds hover in the sky with their wings.
The second elder was pleasantly surprised and said, "master!"
Yi qianyin gave a face sting.
The rest of the elders couldn't laugh. Except for the second elder, they were all bribed by the second room. If the second room fell down, they would be miserable.
"How could that be? How could that be? " The fourth elder asked in a panic, "elder! How could that be? "
The elder did not speak.
"Maybe It's just too scared to come out, right? You see, their hands are empty. It's not like they picked herbs. "
The four elders nodded: "yes! It must be! There's no way they'll get the white moongrass! I heard that there are tigers guarding around the white moon grass. "
As Qiao Wei walks, she tugs at the basket that keeps sliding down. The tiger skin is so heavy
"There are also poisonous insects, which are more toxic than hedinghong. One is enough to poison an adult tiger. They come and go in groups."
Xiaobai in the medicine basket felt his round stomach and belched.
"The most important thing is that the white moon grass grows in the crevice of the cliff, and people can't get in at all."
Pearl in the medicine basket gently pressed her sexy little leg.
The five elders agreed: "the four elders are right. They can't pick the white moon grass."
"Elder, we have picked the white moon grass!" Qiao Wei waved with a smile.
Ding!
The Presbyterian group is petrified!
……
After Qiao Wei and his party came out of the forbidden area, about half an hour later, Qiao Yueshan and his son came out. Qiao Zhongqing's wheelchair had gone nowhere for a long time, and the little guy had disappeared. Qiao Yueshan walked out of the back mountain with Qiao Zhongqing's swollen head on his back.
Qiao Yueshan wakes up from a coma, looks for a long time, and finally finds Qiao Zhongqing bitten by a Bungarus multicinctus. Qiao Yueshan gives him a simple treatment, but the toxicity still spreads to his head and upper body. Qiao Yueshan has no answer to what kind of consequences this will cause.
Qiao Yueshan was not attacked by snakes because he took realgar powder, but he was not much better. He fell down and got black and blue. He was still carrying his son on his back at his age, and his ankles were swollen.
The elders quickly escorted them back to Qiao's home. Qiao Yueshan took herbs from the medicine store to detoxify his son. Xu's tears turned into tears.
"It must be that little bitch! She did it! She did harm to my sonThis words, naturally not in front of Qiao Wei's face, but also quickly spread to the flower hall.
Qiao Wei looked calm and drank a mouthful of tea: "the second aunt really looks up to me."
According to Qiao Yueshan, Bungarus appear in groups. How can a little girl have the ability to control a group of wild poisonous snakes?
I think the three of them went to the wrong place and ran into the snake nest by mistake, right?
All the money on Qiao Yueshan and Qiao Zhongqing is gone, but compared with the experience of poisonous snake, no one pays attention to its head.
After treating Qiao Zhongqing's injury, Qiao Yueshan and his wife go back to the flower hall. Here, Qiao Wei, the elders and Meng have been waiting for the flowers to die.
Qiao Wei sat on the throne, and "Qiao Zheng" was pushed back to the carriage for a rest after a tiring afternoon.
Seeing his son coming, Meng immediately had the confidence to sit on another theme of Qiao Wei's hand.
Qiao Wei glanced at her faintly: "aunt Meng, you don't really think you are qualified to be equal to me, do you?"
Meng's body froze.
No one has called her aunt for many years. How dare this girl and this girl?!
Qiao Yueshan's face was also bashful.
Qiao Wei looked at the bottle placed on the central round table, and then at Qiao Yueshan: "second uncle, please identify if I picked the right white moon grass. If not, I'll go into the mountain to pick it again."
Qiao Yueshan recognized the white moon grass from the moment he entered the house. He said difficultly, "no, you didn't pick it wrong."
Xu's heart cooled half in an instant.
Qiao Wei's smiling eyes wandered from the elders one by one: "since my father and I picked the white moon grass first, according to the agreement, is it time to return the things in the big room to their original owners?"
After a pause, he took out the agreement from the wide sleeve, opened it, and read word by word If Dafang wins, the second house will hand over the position of master, and the Qiao family will return Dafang's estate and Shen's dowry. Am I right, elders? Or you can open my second uncle's share and check it carefully again? "
The second elder arched his hand and said, "the content of the agreement is correct. It's Dafang who has won. Everything should be returned to its original owner."
Qiao Yueshan pressed his forehead.
Xu looked at the elders injured, but the elders avoided her eyes one after another.
If they don't have the basis of writing, they will have a fight, but if they have white words and black words, they can't even fight back.
Qiao Yueshan took a deep breath and pressed his rolling thoughts back to the bottom of his heart: "I'll pay you."
Xu's big Zheng: "master!"
"It was my negligence that I decided my death when I didn't find the body of my elder brother and sister-in-law. Now that my elder brother has come back, it's time for me to return the position of home owner to my elder brother. As for the property..." Qiao Yueshan said with a long focus, looking at the Xu family on one side, "you count a little, so that you can hand over the baby."
Xu was very worried: "master! You... " Do you know how much money that is?
Meng Shi winked at his daughter-in-law, but the girl didn't know how to account. Just give it to her.
The old scholar arrived at the house and came in breathlessly with some pamphlets: "Miss, these are the account books of Dafang in those years. This one is the dowry list of his wife. This one is the amount of money left by the master. The four in the middle are the shops and Chuang Tzu under the master's name. The last three are from Lingzhi hall. I only back up to the year when I was dismissed We don't know the cost of the business. "
Qiao Wei nodded: "the business situation in recent years, I will check with people, thank you, old man."
In the moment when the old scholar put out those books, Xu's face changed. The cunning old man made a backup secretly!
Qiao Wei said to Qiao Yueshan and his wife, "I'm not unreasonable. I won't ask you for the money I earned from my father's shop. But Lingzhi hall is owned by my mother and has nothing to do with Qiao's family. Since you are in business and have no credit or hard work, I think it has been confiscated to Qiao's family these years. But the confiscated money should be divided equally, and it should be distributed to the big room You can't have less points! "
Your father's shop doesn't make a lot of money. The big head is in Lingzhi hall. Please ask for the money back from your father's shop. Don't ask for Lingzhi hall!
Qiao Wei added: "my father's deposit must be returned in full, and my mother's dowry can't be reduced. If it's less, I'll fill it in with silver. I'll give you seven days to clear up all the accounts. Ten days later, I'll hand them over That night, the Qiao family became a mess.
Qiao Yueshan doesn't take care of the common affairs. I don't know that the Xu family has almost lost Qiao Zheng's savings. I don't know that Qiao Zheng's shop has been taken by the Xu family to do business for his mother's brothers. I don't know that Shen family's dowry money has been spent less than half.
"You Why are you so confused? " Qiao Yueshan vomited blood with anger.
Xu sobbed: "I'm not the one who occupied my brother's shop? My mother's nephew and grandson have one too! "
Yes, Meng also divided up Qiao Zheng's shop to his mother's family. This meeting asked her to hand over the shop. She didn't know how to talk to her mother's family.
Xu did not know.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were all in a hurry.
Sanfang and Sifang were not spared. They didn't get the shop, but they swallowed many other benefits. The assets of Dafang were almost divided up by several houses, and they handed them over all at once. They didn't know how much blood they had to spit out.
As a matter of fact, not only Qiao's family, but also several elders who once held the upper position of Qiao Yue mountain were not spared.
In order to be the head of the family, there are several elders in Er Fang's "filial piety". Among them, the elder and the third elder are the most. The second elder didn't ask for the "filial piety" of Er Fang, but avoided a big bleeding.
There are two sets of things to honor the elder and the three elders. They are warm jade chessboard and silver brought by Shen from Diandu. Qiao Wei doesn't pursue them. Even if her father is in charge of the family, she will be filial to several elders. However, the warm jade chessboard is something that her parents have decided to love. It's a pair of Mandarin chessboard and a pair of duck chessboard. It's of far-reaching significance and must be taken back.
The two elders hated Er Fang. When they sent the chessboard to them, they didn't say that there were two of them. They were still a couple of mandarin ducks. When they thought about the hard-working mandarin ducks they had worked with the third elder for so many years, they felt a chill in their hearts.
"Ma'am, do you put this in, too?" In the courtyard of the fourth room, Ju Xiang asked the fourth lady with a gilded candlestick.
The fourth lady nodded: "release."
Juxiang put the candlestick into the box, climbed under the bed, pushed the floor open, and took out a few small boxes of silver from the dark grid: "madam."
The fourth lady pointed to the big box: "put it in together."
"Yes." After finishing the arrangement, Ju Xiang patted the dust on his body and said, "put it all away."
The fourth lady picked up the list: "I'll check it again."
Sanfu went into the room angrily: "have you heard of the fourth sister-in-law? The second elder brother has taken over the position of master of the house. The girl from Dafang has come to us to collect the debt! You said that in recent years, everyone thought they were dead and spent all their money. Where could they take it out? "
before she finished her words, she saw the box that the fourth lady was about to close, but it was too late to close. The gold, jade and silver jewelry in it were dazzling and shining. She opened her mouth wide:" do you have any money? "
The fourth lady laughed.
The third lady's eyes suddenly cold: "did you expect this day? You're looking forward to Da Fang coming back! "
The third lady originally came to find the fourth lady to be in the same line, and she didn't have anything to do with the second room, but the fourth lady Obviously I don't want to be with them anymore.
"You can do it, you can do it!" The third lady gritted her teeth and left the room coldly.
Except for the fourth room, the remaining rooms can't afford so much money at all. There's no other reason. They don't know that Qiao Zheng will come back alive. They have already spent Qiao Zheng's money lavishly. What they didn't spend has become shop Chuang Tzu. Can't they take shop Chuang Tzu to offset it?
The worst thing is er Fang, which costs the most. In order to pave the way for Qiao Yueshan, Xu sent many rare objects to the imperial court. Some of the objects are Qiao Zheng's own, and some of them are bought with Shen's silver. They are all impossible to get back.
Apart from these, what she spent on herself and on a few children was also a huge sum.
In addition, all the medicinal materials Shen brought from Yaogu are valuable. If they are converted into silver, er Fang can go bankrupt.
"Ma'am, ma'am, there's a way for me!" Mother Lin said.
"What way?" Xu asked anxiously.
"Separation?" On the way back to the village, Qiao Wei asked the old scholar strangely.
The old scholar nodded thoughtfully: "yes, if Er Fang can't afford so much money, he can only protect himself by dividing his family. Before the old man died, he left a legacy for all the houses. This legacy can't be moved unless the families are separated. "
"A lot?" Qiao Wei asked.
The old scholar said, "it should be enough to fill the vacancy in these years. However, it needs the consent of the elders to divide the family. If the elders are not there, it needs the consent of the family owner and the elders. It's not that they can divide the family if they want to."
Thought of what, Qiao Wei's lip Cape light evokes a radian: "cent Bai!"
The next day, Qiao Wei and Yi qianyin were invited to Enbo's house, and Xu really proposed to separate.
Yi qianyin tinkled twice.
Qiao Wei said, "my father doesn't agree."
Xu took out the prepared words: "your second uncle is now the marquis. It's not suitable to live in Qiao's house again."
Qiao Wei said innocently, "Oh, second uncle doesn't look up to us, does he?"
Xu's rare calm tone: "it's not that. It's just that your second uncle is busy with business, and Qiao's house is too far away. Your second uncle and I are going to buy a house closer to each other for the convenience of office."
This reason can really pull, Qiao Wei quietly said with a smile: "two aunts how not to say that our two rooms do not deal with, afraid that my father and I give you shoes to wear?"
Xu's Piao "Qiao Zheng" one eye, did not have the bottom spirit to say: "big brother house heart benevolent, since will not."
Qiao Wei said with a smile, "so you mean I will?"
"Don't misinterpret me!" Xu realized that he was being led by the nose by the other side. He calmed down and said, "in a word, do you divide or not?"Qiaowei asked Yi qianyin hypocritically: "Dad, two aunts want to separate, do you want to separate or not? I don't know. I look at it as an eyesore. I'm afraid that you have no tolerance. I'll drive my sister-in-law out as soon as I get back. "
Xu pinched his fingers: "don't worry, I'll never say no to big brother when I go outside."
Qiao Wei said slowly: "you said you would be good to me all your life."
Xu's face turned red with choking.
Qiao Wei sighed: "it's just that, the second uncle is too high to look up to our poor relatives. If the second aunt wants to share, she can share. But I still have that sentence. It's the second aunt's own initiative to separate. My father didn't agree, but you can't stand it."
Xu can't manage so much now. She just wants to quickly take away the legacy belonging to ER Fang, otherwise Chi will change, and no one knows what this girl will do to them.
"And you, do you want to separate?" Qiao Wei asked the third and fourth ladies.
They shook their heads together.
Are you kidding me? They don't have a husband to be a marquis. When they go outside, they will spend the old man's legacy in a few years. It's better to stay at Qiao's house.
At noon, Qiao Wei invited all the elders. I don't know if it's Qiao Wei's illusion. Except for the second elder, the other six elders seem to have lost weight. They vomited too much blood and scraped off too much fat, so they are thin?
The elders look at Qiaowei with poison in their eyes. Unfortunately, they have no way to take Qiaowei. They are so green.
In the witness of "Qiao Zheng" and the elders, er Fang and Enbo's house separated.
It doesn't mean that they have to be driven out by the Qiao family. They can still live in Enbo house, but their expenses are separated from those of the public. However, with Xu's pride, how can they be an outsider?
Xu put away the letter of separation and took the silver note left by the old man to the second room from the big warehouse. He said with a smile: "although we have separated, we are still relatives. Let's put it in the yard first. I will come back to visit you every Spring Festival."
Qiao Wei light a smile: "two aunts this is to move to where?"
Xu said with a smile: "I've taken a fancy to a small house on Qingyang Road. I'll live at random first. When the imperial court approves the house that your second uncle has given me, I'll move to Hou's house. At that time, I'll remember to visit you."
The third lady tastes delicious. It's the house on Qingyang Road. The second sister-in-law is really rich!
The Xu family is not really rich. After the old man's legacy blocked up the vacancy of the big house, the rest is just enough to buy a house.
But she is not afraid, because at the end of the month, she will have a huge sum of money, which is the payment for Songhua eggs.
She does a good job in Songhua egg business, which is no worse than opening Ganoderma lucidum hall.
And Lingzhi Tang's money to the whole Qiao family, Songhua egg but into her one person's pocket, how to think, is the cost-effective separation.
Xu's smile was smug: "well, I won't tell you. I've made an appointment with the owner of the house. I have to buy the house today."
The vinegar in the third lady's heart, the eye knife swish, almost shot her into a sieve!
Qiao Wei smiles: "two aunts walk slowly."
Xu went with pride.
This little slut only knows how to get back the things in the big room, but she doesn't know that she is going to cut off her business. When she grows up, this little slut is waiting to come and please her!
Xu took a carriage and went to Qingyang Road. The house was very popular because of its good feng shui and good geographical location. When Xu crossed the threshold, two other families were choosing the house.
The owner said hello to Xu with a smile: "Madam Hou."
Xu said haughtily, "didn't I say I would buy your house? How can you show it to others? "
The owner looked at the other two servants and said in embarrassment: "Madam Hou said it orally, but you didn't deposit, so..."
Xu glanced at the four and said, "I've bought this house. You can go to other places to have a look."
The chubby lady said, "we arrived earlier than you. Why did you just buy it?"
Xu snorted: "I saw it yesterday."
Fat lady ha ha: "I came to see it the day before yesterday!"
"Yes, I came the day before yesterday, too." Another thin lady agreed.
Xu said: "if the price is high, I'll add another thousand Liang to your price."
One thousand Liang is not a small sum. Is this man crazy? Is such a small house worth the price increase?
The two ladies retired.
With a satisfied smile, Xu said to the owner, "can you sell it to me?"
Fang opened his mouth: "er Original The original The price is Six thousand taels... "
Xu said calmly, "I'll keep my word. I'll give you 7000 yuan, but I only have your original price on hand. I'll go out these days and come back at the end of the month. Then I'll give you the remaining 1000 Liang."
We can get part of the payment at the end of the month.
The owner of the house reached out to pick up the bank note. Before he could pick it up, he saw Mother Lin running over in a hurry. She ran into the owner, pulled Xu's hand and said, "madam! Something's wrong! It's a big deal! "Xu said unhappily, "who's in trouble? Master or Zhongqing? "
"None of them!" Mother Lin wants to cry without tears, "it's a workshop! Our workshop Something's wrong
Xu's workshop was opened at the beginning of this month. It was located in the western suburb of the capital. At the beginning, he employed dozens of workers to catch up with the goods. Finally, he finished all the work in half a month. After that, he began to work for the next month.
The formula is introduced. The preserved period of Songhua eggs is 20-30 days. Without any accident, ten thousand eggs will be delivered by the end of the month, and twenty thousand by the tenth of next month.
Seeing that the day was coming, the steward opened a pot and wanted to see how it was cured. However, as soon as he opened it, a stench came and smoked the steward on the spot!
The steward felt that it was not good. He took down a few more. They were all the same as the ones in front. They stinked!
The steward didn't know where the problem was, but the steward knew that it was a business in the palace. If it was not good enough, he would lose his head and immediately ran away with his burden.
By the time Xu arrived at the workshop, the workers had almost run away.
Xu grabbed a young man who rushed out with a bundle in his arms: "what are you running for? What's the matter? "
The young man covered his nose: "don't you smell it? All the eggs stink! We can't deliver it! "
Xu's body was shaken by a blow to the head.
The young man's coin fell off, and he stooped to pick it up and left the spot without looking back.
Xu asked mother Lin and the coachman to pry open the jar. None of the jars were good
"Mrs. Qiao, this time all the miscellaneous goods are sold first. If you can pay them on time, the miscellaneous goods will give you a 10% bonus. If you can't, you will have to pay three times as much as the selling price."
The selling price is two hundred Wen per egg and twenty thousand eggs. That's four thousand taels, three times the fine Twelve thousand taels
Twelve, twelve, twelve
Xu's eyes turned and fainted!
In the backyard of the villa, aunt Luo set a table on fire to celebrate the victory of Qiao Wei and "Qiao Zheng". Aunt Luo, the old scholar, Qiao Wei, a GUI and bi'er Xiaowei sit at the table. Yi qianyin returns to Beijing to repair Ji Ming's life. She is no longer here.
The old scholar eloquently told the crowd how brave Qiao Wei and great Xia Yi were, as if he had personally experienced it.
Several people are very happy for Qiaowei.
They all see how difficult Qiao Wei is, especially aunt Luo, the old scholar and Xiao Wei. They know how difficult Qiao Wei and her two children are. When they are the poorest, they can't even eat rice and noodles. The two children are skinny. The so-called family has never helped them.
If they eat their own food, they may as well, but they eat and drink from Qiao Zheng and his daughter.
Now Qiao Wei comes to ask for the family property. It's time to ask for it! Let those who have no conscience to eat into the stomach all spit out!
Especially that Er Fang, not only refused to see Jing Yun and Wang Shu, but also injured Qiao Zheng. This kind of scum, it's better to be poor and drink the wind from the West!
After supper, Qiao Wei goes back to the house. Qiao Wei doesn't know that Xu has found out about Songhua eggs, but she estimates that the day is coming. Xu can't wait to move out of Qiao '.
"Leader Qiao seems very happy."
Deep and magnetic voice suddenly appeared behind, with a touch of banter, a share of unspeakable lazy and sexy.
Qiao Wei smiles and looks back: "you're here."
Ji Mingxiu came to her, supported the table with one hand, slightly lowered his body, and looked at her with deep eyes. With some kind of suction, he seemed to be able to let people's divine sense suck in: "are you so happy?"
"Yes." Qiao Wei said without hesitation.
"How happy?" Ji Mingxiu asked with a smile.
"So happy." Qiaowei gave him a peck on the lip.
Ji Mingxiu tasted the sweet mountain grape wine on her lips. At first, she was slightly stunned, and then a playful smile came up from the corner of her lips: "I'm borrowing wine to make a fire again, Lord Joe?"
"No!" Qiao Wei said firmly, raised her slender jade arm, circled his neck, turned her head, and bit his lip gently, "this is the ignition."
Ji Mingxiu's lower abdomen was tight, and he clasped her soft waist, kissing her and holding her on the bed.
……
Today is the day for Qiao Wei to fulfill her promise.
Pearl carried a small mini basket. The handle of the basket was wrapped with pink ribbon and tied with a pink bow. It was very beautiful.
Pearl picked a basket full of petals from the garden, poured them into her mini bathtub, gracefully picked up the nonexistent clip, curled up her nonexistent long hair, took off her nonexistent clothes and the nonexistent small inside, folded them, put them on the nonexistent chair, and gracefully sat down in the bathtub.
She is a clean little monkey. She has no fleas.
After taking a petal bath, she climbed to the roof and dried naturally. Then she wore a pink rose on her head and went into the house fragrant.Xiaobai is lying at the door, covering her ears.
Pearl looked at Xiaobai gracefully like a dignified lady.
Xiaobai snorted and covered his ears more tightly.
Pearl, with a sense of superiority, raised her slender hand and pushed the door.
Why?
I can't push it.
Push again.
Still can't push!
It's locked, locked, locked!
Pearl went round the windowsill and climbed in through it.
How does Jing Yun and Wang Shu sleep on the floor of Babu bed? It seems that tonight, there is only pearl and Wei on the bed!
Pearl is very happy.
He opened the curtain and jumped into the bed.
The landing site doesn't seem right!
"Ouch --"
Pearl was thrown out in a terrible way!
