Chapter 106
Because it's getting late, Shen Ze doesn't have a good time to start immediately. After having a hasty dinner in the Marquis's mansion, he goes back to the mansion to pack up. As soon as he got back to the house, Duanyan came forward and said, "just now Miss Lin sent her servants to bring my uncle's clothes. In addition, there are two pots of excellent camellia. Miss Lin also asked what's going on at home. If you need help, just let me talk. "
Shen Ze looked at the two pots of pure and elegant light blue camellia, which was very close to the color of someone's dress in the afternoon. He said, "put those two pots of flowers in my bedroom. I need to take good care of them. I'll leave for Jinzhou early tomorrow morning. If a leaf is missing after I come back, you don't have to wait on me. In addition, you can pick some fresh fruits and vegetables from Chuang Tzu and send them to her. I'll go back and deal with some small things in my hometown. If it's fast, I'll be back on the 7th and 8th, so that she doesn't have to worry. " Duanyan nodded and agreed.
Sitting leisurely in front of the window, playing with a long hairpin of Magnolia with pink hibiscus jade carving, and thinking of the reply from the Shen family, I can't help sighing, and I don't know when that person will come back?
In the back house of Li family, a rich businessman in Jinzhou, a young woman with beautiful face leans weakly by the bed, and a gray haired woman carries a bowl of porridge to feed her. The young woman took a few drinks and then shook her head. "I don't want to drink any more, Mammy. Did the letter go out?" This young woman is Shen Ze's stepmother, Jiang, and that woman is her nanny, Xu.
Xu's mother is only in her thirties this year. She used to take care of herself well. However, she has been suffering for more than half a year, and she has become old all of a sudden. After listening to Jiang's inquiry, she nodded and said, "there is a rough old lady Yu in the outer courtyard. She has received some favors from me before, and she has helped me send the letter out. In addition, Mrs. Peng from the Shen family often sends people to visit her. Now that the Li family confines her mother and daughter here, she will be suspicious if she doesn't see her for a long time. Girl, you have to eat more. You can't look forward to the future until you have a good health. "
Jiang shook his head weakly. "Just like me, what can I say in the future? Now it's just holding on, waiting for Xi'er's elder brother to pick her up. If I had known that Xi'er would suffer this pain with me, I might as well have let her go to the capital with her brother. It's all because I don't know people well that Xi'er suffers from this. " Then he coughed.
Mother Xu put down the bowl and patted Jiang's back. Her eyes were moist and she said, "how can this be done by the girl? When the girl came back to her mother's home, she decided not to marry. If it wasn't for her wife and grandmother, why did she marry to the Li family? The Li family's wife is also her cousin. When they were young, they had some feelings. I didn't expect that the whole family was so black. "
Jiang is also a poor man. She lost her mother when she was young. Although her stepmother was difficult, she grew up safely with her grandmother and elder brother. Jiji empress, because her stepmother's family wanted to curry favor with the Shen family, encouraged her to marry Shen Ze's father as her stepmother. Although Shen Ze's father was older, he loved her very much. Shen Ze was also a smart and sensible man. She gave birth to Shen Xi one year after she entered the door. Seeing that the days are more and more happy, Shen Ze's father unfortunately got an emergency when Shen Xi was more than two years old. After three years of filial piety, Chiang decided to go back to his mother's home to live with his daughter and dowry because there was too little difference between his age and that of his stepson.
But the stepmother of her mother's family has repeatedly said that having a filial daughter in the family will make people feel bad luck, so she always finds fault. My sister-in-law is also afraid that if she stays at home, she will share the family's ancestral property in the future. Therefore, she was encouraged to remarry.
Just at this time, the Li family, the richest man in Jinzhou, sent someone to propose to Li Youcheng, the elder brother of the Li family who had lost his wife. The Li family is a well-known rich businessman, and the offer of the bride price is also very attractive. Even the elder brother of Chiang Kai Shek can't help but feel a bit excited. Seeing that her mother's family couldn't accommodate her, and that the Li family was an old relative, Chiang decided to marry her.
Who knows that Li Youcai has a different purpose when he wants to marry her. It turns out that the Li family looks bright on the outside, but because of poor management, they are in urgent need of a large amount of money. Just at this time, Jiang, who returned to his mother's home, came into the sight of the Li family.
The late Li's grandfather and Jiang's grandmother are cousins, so they are old relatives for many years. When Chiang got married, her grandmother gave her a thousand taels of silver in her private house and a lucrative silk shop. In addition to some things left by Chiang's mother and the dowry of the Shen family, Chiang's dowry also had nearly 20000 taels of silver. After she got married to the Shen family, she had the private silver given by Shen Ze's father, and her dowry had not been changed, not to mention several layers of thickening. Later, when he left the Shen family, Shen Ze decided to give her two thousand taels of silver and a 300 mu Chuang Tzu as Shen Xi's dowry. Therefore, when he returned to Jiang's house, he had more than 30000 liang of private houses in his hand. The marriage of the legitimate daughter of the Duke's family is just the dowry of the silver. After Jiang married the Li family, he didn't even wait three days to return. Li Youcai then asked Jiang for her private money. Of course, he said he would borrow it first. Although that's what he said, Chiang knew that once he took out the money, it would be washed away. It doesn't matter if she has her own private house. Anyway, since her husband's family is in trouble, she has no reason to be alone. But Xi sister's dowry she is absolutely not willing to use.
Li Youcai first took two thousand liang of cash for turnover, and later asked for Chiang's shop. The shop was left to her by Chiang's grandmother, who made seven or eight hundred Liang a year, but Chiang refused. Li Youcai applies both hard and soft, but Chiang just shouldn't. Later, when the creditor urged her, Li Youcai saw that she didn't get any oil and salt, and kicked her to the ground. His strength was so strong that Chiang was hurt to the heart. The Li family was afraid that the disclosure of the incident would speed up the deterioration of their business. They refused to ask for a doctor. They also locked Jiang and her maids in this yard and refused to let them report. He robbed all the gold and silver in Chiang's room, even the collar of Jin Feng and Xi jie'er on Chiang's head.
Thanks to Chiang's hiding some gold and silver and the real estate title deed in a secret place, they had some floating wealth and could buy the servants of the house to help them report. At the beginning, it was her mother's family that Chiang Kai Shek asked for help, but she waited from left to right. She never saw anyone from her mother's family, so she knew that Chiang's family was unreliable. In desperation, he had to try to inform the Shen family.
Looking at the red curtain in the room, who could have thought that she wanted to remarry a few months ago, but now she is still alive? But these days, she often coughs up blood in the middle of the night. She doesn't dare to let mother Xu know. She knows that she can't support herself for a few days. She doesn't know when Shen Ze will arrive?
