But there is still too little information, and it is all obtained from the mouths of refugees, which is a bit one-sided. It would be better if we could get the information from the county guard.
It's a pity that Mr. Lang has passed away, and the Zhao family's intelligence system was handed over to the second prince. They started over. Not only were they short of manpower, but the most important thing was that they lacked someone like Mr. Lang to take the helm. Even if they wanted to inquire, there was no way.
Mr. Ji was distressed and heard the squealing outside, "Mr. Lang hasn't come to see my family in the past few days. My family is very sad."
A plain male voice said: "I'm busy with business."
Mr. Ji raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes to look at the room, and finally his eyes fell on Qiu Wu, the Fourth Chief. Qiu Wu met his eyes and shuddered. He hesitated, "Sir?"
Mr. Ji stroked his beard and said, "It would be much easier for the girl to find out information if she has a Chu house."
Qiu Wu looked at him confused.
Mr. Ji sighed, "Forget it, Sanniang is a girl. It won't sound good if it gets out. The master refuted my opinion when he was here, let alone that Sanniang is the head of the family now."
He waved his hand and said, "Let's find the girl and the others first, and have someone go to Shangcai overnight."
Qiu Wu agreed and retreated first.
Mr. Ji brought many people, especially the dowry, which was too conspicuous. In order to avoid causing trouble, he disguised the team as a large caravan on the road, and most of the women became servants accompanying the team, and the rest
The old, weak and young became the human cargo carried by the caravans.
He carefully chose Aoyang to stay because he felt that Zhao Hanzhang would pass through Aoyang whether he was returning to his hometown in Xiping or going to Shangcai.
He did not dare to go to Xiping alone with so much belongings.
Wealth touches people's hearts. Who knows if the Zhao family will be tempted when they see so much money?
Doesn't this add to the dispute?
So he disguised himself as a big businessman and stopped in Aoyang. For this reason, he dispersed the people and hid them in various places in Aoyang.
Due to the military turmoil in Luoyang, a lot of refugees poured into Aoyang in the past two days. They were not very attractive because they were hundreds of people in size, otherwise he would have had to put a lot of thought into it.
The food in the other courtyard is still so simple. Fortunately, the staple food tubes are enough, and the relatives all express understanding. After all, they have lost their belongings and it is the period of mourning, so they should be more simple.
Under such circumstances, they were able to arrange everything in an orderly manner and accommodate everyone, which shows Zhao Sanniang's intention and ability.
Anyway, the ladies who followed were quite satisfied, and their expressions on Mrs. Wang became much gentler.
The wife who felt she had a good relationship with Mr. Wang even came to her and said: "You have raised Sanniang well. I think Erlang is a bit naive, but he is healthy and filial. When he is two years older, you can propose a marriage to him."
It would be nice to have a grandson."
"I see that the elders in the clan are very satisfied with Mr. Fu Dalang. When the funeral is over, you take Sanniang and the others back to the clan, and let her please more in front of the elders, and your good days will come."
Mrs. Wang smiled politely at them and said softly: "My father-in-law said before he left that from now on, everything about the eldest son's house will be subject to Sanniang's advice. This child can already take charge of his own business. My uncle is here, so of course I will listen to them.
"
She's not stupid. Why don't she go back to Xiping to be tortured if she has nothing to do?
She doesn't want to go back to live there. As long as Sanniang doesn't tell her to go back, she will never go back!
The person persuading did not notice her little thoughts, and sighed and started gossiping, "You are lucky. My uncle arranged such a good marriage for Sanniang before he left. Then Mr. Fu Dalang's character and appearance are really amazing."
It’s hard to find even with a lantern.”
"That's right. The second wife inherited the title and hasn't come back yet. Alas, it would be better to just adopt a child from the clan."
"It's just that the second wife got the benefit for nothing."
Mrs. Wang secretly pouted. She was unhappy that Zhao Ji would inherit the title, but why should she adopt a child from her stepfamily?
Doesn’t she have a son or a grandchild in the future?
Zhao Ji is her husband-in-law's cousin after all, and he has a similar bloodline. Even if he is eyeing the title, why should these people in the clan also be eyeing him?
They are separated by several layers, okay?
Wang cursed in her heart and listened quietly with a smile on her face.
Qinggu walked in from the outside in small steps. When she saw her, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "But is there something going on ahead?"
Qing Gu was stunned for a moment, then when she saw Mr. Wang winking at her, she bowed and said, "Yes, there will be a funeral tomorrow, and Sanniang asked me to invite my wife to come over to discuss the matter."
Wang immediately stood up and said goodbye to everyone apologetically.
Everyone expressed their understanding and watched her leave.
"Does Zhizhi's wife not want to return to the clan?"
"When I'm out of business, I don't have any money, so why go back?" One person asked: "When the time comes, I'll be living in a Wubao with relatives on both sides. It's difficult to even give a gift. I don't want to go back."
"Oh, Dafang was so rich before. Not only in our clan, but also in the entire Jin Dynasty, he was one of the best. I heard that even the royal family is not as rich as their family. I didn't expect that they would all be wiped out in a war."
"You really believe that it's all gone. You can throw away the gold and silver, but can you throw away Zhuangzi's shop? I think those things are in the hands of the second house."
"Isn't this bullying orphans and widowed mothers?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who made the second wife in the family the head of the family now?"
"Don't talk nonsense. The eldest uncle has already ordered a dowry for Sanniang. I heard it is quite a lot. The fifth uncle has a dowry list in his hand. In the future, he will give half of it to Erlang. The eldest uncle is such a shrewd person. He
Can we not count these?"
"But the village and the shop can't cash out immediately. They always need money to live, right?"
Hearing this, someone felt moved and quietly went to find Wang, saying that he could help her and buy some fields or shops at a high price.
Especially the shops. Zhao Changyu has shops in Xiping and Shangcai areas, and the locations are quite good.
Mrs. Wang is not selling it. Although she is now so arrogant that she can't even get a silver hairpin out of her hands, as long as she doesn't starve to death, no one can buy those properties and shops from her.
That is the future dowry and betrothal gift for Sanniang and Erlang!
Moreover, Sanniang has said that she does not need to worry about money.
Wang refused, and the other party felt sorry in his heart, but with a smile on his face: "It's good that you know what you have in mind. I'm just afraid that you will be strapped for money when you go back. If you want to sell in the future, you can come to me. By the way, don't tell me about this.
Others, if people know that I want to buy land at such a high price, it will be bad if people in the clan who want to sell land come to me."
Wang agreed, turned around and sold her. She said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Auntie of yours loves scheming. Huh, you don't know how to look at me. If you really want to do me a favor, give me a red seal. If it doesn't work,
You can lend me a sum of money. I want to buy land and a shop. Can you do it for me?"
She said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Be careful when you see her in the future, I don't like her."
Zhao Hanzhang agreed and stared at Mr. Wang who kept nagging.
Mrs. Wang stopped, touched her face and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "I suddenly understood why you don't want to return to the clan so much, Auntie."
Mrs. Wang fell silent, and after a while she said: "You, don't be like me and only see these small profits. If something big happens, you still have to get help from the clan. It's because I gave birth to your brother that I don't want to be treated by them."
Yes, but you are the daughter of the Zhao family and you are smart. They like you. If you have difficulties, they will help you."
