Chapter 10： The old man and the young man passed each other

Chapter 10 An old man and a young man fight each other

How could Mrs. Dong do something that betrays the Lord? She would not even be beaten to death.

Mrs. Xu had no idea. No, she took action herself.

The Su family is short of manpower, and Su Ruojin certainly wants to take Mother Dong back. But now this situation is no longer a matter of paying the rent with money. The evil woman named Xu just wants the Su family's craftsmanship.

Su Yanli was born as a Jinshi, and was also a doctor of the Five Classics of the Imperial Academy. It stands to reason that he could intimidate Mrs. Xu and others, but the fact is that not only did he not, but he also allowed her to push further.

Why does she dare to be so arrogant? Of course there is a background.

Mrs. Xu's sister is the steward of the Princess of Jin, and her brother-in-law is the steward of the Prince's Mansion. She is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, not to mention the steward of the Prince's Mansion. Her sister's family has bought a big house in Kangyuanfang, which is quite famous in that area. Face, any person with a good reputation will give the Lu family a little face, and even Mrs. Xu is also domineering in the West Bridge Lane area.

Two years ago, Su Yanli rented Mrs. Xu's small courtyard through an introduction. In the first quarter, she paid the rent and everything was fine. In the second quarter, Mrs. Xu raised the rent for various reasons.

Su Yanli had a salary of ten liang to support a large family. How could there be an increase? Even if he had money, he couldn't just raise it as she said. Su Yanli wanted to move out. But his father, a scholar, was cheated by Yaren and Mrs. Xu in partnership, and he didn't notice. There is an overbearing clause in the lease that even if you move out, the rent for two years will still be a penny.

There was no other way, so Su Yanli had no choice but to suffer the loss and pay the rent after the increase. From then on, it got out of hand, with an increase every quarter, making the already tight life even more miserable. Last year, , her father either asked Mr. Fan or his colleagues to borrow money, like a poor man.

You said it was hard to live this life?

Mrs. Xu was not afraid of a yellow-haired girl. She raised her chin and said sarcastically: "A doctor from the Imperial College dares to do business. As long as I report it to the official office, not only will your business be ruined, but your father will also lose his official position."

At the age of three two years ago, Su Ruojin was unable to participate in major family affairs, but now that she is the master of the family, how could she let others step on her?

Her eyes were not much better, she looked over with a cold look, and said in a sinister tone: "Go, go now..."

Mrs. Xu was so vomited that she turned around and went to the government office to report it.

Su Ruojin followed slowly, "The beginning of winter is coming. I heard that the officials have to control the kings, generals, ministers, and officials every year before the winter solstice. I don't know who will be restrained this time."

Mrs. Xu turned her head and her eyes were like daggers.

Su Ruojin spread his hands and said, "My father is only an eighth-grade sesame official. He can't reach Tianting. He's not a censor or official, so he can't blow the wind."

Mrs. Xu's face was so sinister that there was only a slit left in her two small eyes. Now she squinted her eyes and stared at Su Ruojin, as if she wanted to find something out of her. A vicious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "￥%&amp "You can't grow up." He turned around and walked away with an incomprehensible look.

Su Ruojin didn't let her go, and said loudly behind her, "Xu Yu, then I'll come to your house at the beginning of winter."

Mr. Xu stopped, turned her head again, and looked at Su Ruojin.

The little girl met her with a smile in her eyes.

Obviously she is a six-year-old bitch, but Mrs. Xu couldn't see clearly at this moment. She smiled contemptuously: "You can also step in through the threshold of my house if you want to?"

“I don’t cross.”     What does it mean?

Su Ruojin deliberately looked at the crowd of spectators.

Mr. Xu's face turned grim. She suddenly thought of her sister's warning, so she softened her expression and restrained herself from being a little arrogant.

Everything was seen by Su Ruojin. She walked to Mrs. Xu with a smile on her face, but her voice was very low. Only Mrs. Xu could hear it, "I stood at the door of your house and beat the gongs and drums until everyone gathered around and asked. Why."

"You..." Mrs. Xu shot straight at the six-year-old girl with venom in her surprise. She actually announced that she relied on her sister to take advantage of her, and it was a vicious plan.

Mrs. Xu wished she could stretch out her hands and tear the dead girl's face into pieces.

Su Ruojin raised his head slightly.

The two looked at each other.

Before becoming the head of the family, Su Ruojin always encouraged Uncle Shutong to listen and read more outside, ranging from court orders to market gossip. Whenever he heard or saw, he would come back and tell her about it.

In March and April of this year, the wife of a young Beijing official hanged herself and left a suicide note, which read: I thought that my husband, who had lived in poverty for ten years and sold his fame to the emperor's family in exchange for food and clothing, could have enough food and clothing. If you can't even afford a house to rent a house if you have a wife and raised children, it's better to hang yourself than to be chased out like a dog.

The incident became such an uproar that even the emperor knew about it.

Su Ruojin seized this opportunity and threatened Mrs. Xu that if she did not let her family cancel the rent, she would hang herself in front of her house like that family. She also asked the capital official to come to the emperor to submit a copy.

Finally, Mrs. Xu agreed, but she still squeezed the Su family and deprived Dong’s mother of a year.

For a villain like Mrs. Xu who has a royal background, Su Yanli, an eighth-grade official, really has no place to find anyone to reason with. In addition, the family is full of children, and more things to do are worse than less things to do. In the end, she had no choice but to leave Dong's mother to work. Year.

In fact, the reason why Mrs. Xu is afraid of threats is not that she is really afraid of speaking out about official affairs, but because the house she owns is owned by a storekeeper. She rented it at a very low price because of her sister's status as a steward of the Jin Palace, and then rented it at a very low price. Renting to a small official like Su Yanli at a high price is no different from the landlord who forced the wife of a small official to death. She let the Su family go because she was mainly afraid that the public rental housing she had hoarded would be discovered.

Dayin was similar to the Song Dynasty. Small commodities developed extremely rapidly and people poured into the city in large numbers. Not everyone could afford to buy a house or build a yard, so house leasing came into being.

The booming housing rental market has caused rents to rise sharply. More and more people cannot afford to rent a house and have to sleep on the streets.

According to Su Ruojin's inquiry, Mrs. Xu's family has no house to rent now.

What surprised Su Ruojin was that King Jin's anger at being punished didn't burn down. Not only did Mrs. Xu's sister not lose her errand, but Mrs. Xu also had nothing else besides losing her public rental house.

Why? Could it be that King Jin was a magnanimous man?

Su Ruojin didn't think there must be a reason she didn't know.
