Chapter 1061: Response (Thanks to the Alliance Leader for the Moonlight in the Desert)
Brother Jiu snorted coldly: "They will check their own home. If they can find out anything, they must protect it!"
If you can make your reasonable mother-in-law so angry that she can no longer speak any reason, then it is definitely Beizi Mansion's fault.
The tenth elder brother shook his head and said: "Dutong Mansion and Beizi Mansion are cousins or in-laws. Sunu Beizi doesn't know how to do it. There are still about ten children who are not married. If Dutong Mansion doesn't give an explanation,
Who dares to marry their family?"
Brother Jiu's expression softened slightly and he said: "That's more or less the same. If he dares to bully others just because he belongs to the clan, I can't watch in vain!"
The three brothers talked, left the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and left the palace through Xihua Gate.
When we arrived at the shop outside Di'anmen, it was Baiweiju. Before noon, the lobby was already full.
Since the closure of Yufeng Tower, the business of Baiweiju has become even better.
For this reason, there are also people who gossip behind their backs.
The implication behind the words is that the third elder brother deliberately chose Yufeng Building to cause trouble because of the ninth elder brother’s shop.
Brother Jiu also heard a few words and just thought they were farts.
The shopkeeper led Brother Jiu and others to the private room that had been left earlier, where the grilled fish was still being prepared.
The fruit plate served first was cut watermelon and cantaloupe.
The twelfth prince eats very carefully, and even bites into the rind of the watermelon. The watermelon in the palace will not be available until the fall, which will take half a month, and it is not available yet.
Brother Jiu saw this and said, "It's a pity that I have to send you two baskets tomorrow."
In the watermelon fields of Daxing, there are more ripe watermelons in the first crop, and there is prosperity.
The twelfth elder brother didn't want to get it for nothing, so he thought for a moment and said, "Brother Ninth, I heard that my brothers outside the house last year asked for Sister Ninth Sister's watermelon. Is this all to settle the score?"
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "They want a lot. There is a large population in the house, and they have to give gifts and so on, so they are embarrassed to take it for nothing."
After moving out for more than half a year, he finally understood why "blood brothers must settle accounts".
Because it saves trouble and worry.
If you don't settle accounts, you will owe favors.
Favor debts are the hardest to repay.
Haha! After taking his money to make a living, except for Lao Shi, who can be more calm, and Brother Fourteen, who is more heartless, the other brothers should make a note of it.
Even for the fifth brother, it is probably not easy to deal with him in the future.
Hum hum…
Seeing the twelfth elder brother struggling, everything in his heart was written on his face.
The ninth elder brother said to the twelfth elder brother: "You are different from them. I charge you a lot of money for just those two baskets of watermelons. Isn't that a joke?"
The twelfth elder brother thought about this and nodded: "Yes, I understand."
When half the plate of watermelon was finished, the grilled fish came.
A three-and-a-half kilogram grass carp was split into two halves, fried first and then grilled. It looked golden and fragrant.
I wanted a combination of flavors, half spicy and half perilla.
A charcoal fire is lit under the grilled fish plate, making the grilled fish "sizzle".
The grilled fish plate is surrounded by side dishes, magnolia slices, cucumber slices, yuba and fungus.
There is also a bowl of cold dish in a water basin, which contains vermicelli, dried tofu, shredded radish, shredded green onion and coriander segments.
A platter of braised pork, pork head, pork tongue, pig ears, and pig heart.
The staple food is rice and lotus leaf cake.
This was the first time for the twelfth brother to eat grilled fish, and he immediately fell in love with the taste of perilla.
Although Ninth Brother doesn’t have a big appetite, he has developed a good mouth in the past two years. He said: “This dish is very simple. The garlic and perilla in it can be made into sauce. We have it in the kitchen at home.
, If you like this, I will bring you the seasoning tomorrow. If you want to eat it, just send someone out to buy live fish. It will save trouble."
Brother Twelve was moved after hearing this, but thought it was too much trouble.
Everything you bring to the palace must be registered.
He thought for a while and said: "No, I want to eat. I'll send someone to the restaurant here to buy it."
Brother Jiu said: "That's okay, but no accounting is allowed. Credit accounts are not allowed here."
Accounting is very popular in shops in the capital.
No matter what industry you are in, no matter how big or small your business is, there will always be accounts.
Then there are some that call for accounts half a year, and some that call for accounts every year.
It's okay for bannermen to be nobles, but for ordinary people, they eat and drink as soon as they get the monthly rations, and they don't have the habit of saving money.
The shop under Shu Shu's name does not accept credit, no matter who comes.
Because of this, people said that he was not acting in a dignified manner, but that was not the case in front of Shu Shu.
The twelfth elder brother hurriedly said: "No credit."
I was worried before that there was no cash collection here, so I planned to arrange for a new eunuch to come over.
It would be better if the accounts are clear in this way.
In that case, people can buy more of the stuff from the pastry shop and send it to grandma to make Buddhist offerings.
After lunch, the ninth elder brother said to the tenth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother: "You go back first, I will go to the Dutong Mansion to have a look, so as not to worry your sister-in-law if we go back."
The tenth elder brother said: "Then will the ninth brother return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Don't bother anymore. Come directly over here when the time comes. I will wait for you right here."
Having said this, he paused and said, "Let's meet you outside Xizhimen at the second quarter of Shenchu."
The tenth elder brother only spent time in the Yamen reading books, listening to gossip, and drinking tea, so the ninth elder brother's time was spent in the Yamen.
After leaving Xi'an Gate and riding on horseback for less than a quarter of an hour, Brother Jiu arrived at Dutong Mansion.
*
Dutong Mansion, main room.
Mr. Jueluo is entertaining guests here.
She is a woman in plain clothes in her forties with a haggard look. She is the biological mother of Mrs. Seven, Li Jia.
She is a few years younger than Jueluo Shi, but she looks much older now, and her eyes are swollen like rotten peaches.
Although they are biological mother and daughter, Li Jia cannot go to Beizi Mansion to see her daughter for the last time due to their status.
Mrs. Jueluo was also a mother. She felt sorry for Mrs. Li Jia who had lost her daughter in old age, so she asked someone to invite her to the Dutong Mansion.
She was born in Zhenghong Banner Manchuria, with a small surname. There are only two hereditary left leaders in the family, and they also live in this area.
Women who can recruit wives to support the family are also hard-hearted. Li Jia seems to be more embarrassed now, but her back is still straight.
"Madam, Pearl is not unjust..."
Mr. Jueluo nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Ma is greedy for money and wants to marry Pearl to her daughter. This is the reason. Even if you are willing to settle the matter, our master and I will not."
Li Jiashi lowered her head to wipe her tears and said, "But that's Mrs. Beizi, or Pearl's mother-in-law. How can we hold her accountable?"
Jueluo said: "I want to take back the dowry. You can take back your share for old age, the Dutong Mansion and the Duke's Mansion. When Le Qin remarries and has a son in the future, I will send it to Pearl's name. This dowry will be taken back."
Just give it to the heir. If there is no son there, or there is no intention to give Pearl an adoptive son, then I will make the decision and donate these two shares directly!"
Although such an approach would easily arouse criticism, Jue Luo didn't care.
We cannot set this precedent, otherwise the life of the married women of Dong E's family will be difficult in the future.
The Gongfu is the clan leader, so he should have taken the lead, but Qi Xi, who is the senior one at the moment, is still Pearl's nominal Ama, so the Tongfu has no choice but to take the lead.
Li Jiashi was a thoughtful person. After thinking about it, she said: "Madam, I won't take back my share. I also kept a private house for retirement. It would be unsustainable to have more, so let's keep it."
The two looked at each other, both sulking.
But the world is like this, and Pearl cannot be left alone.
Otherwise, it would be more pleasant to just break off the relationship.
Li Jiashi's eyes turned red and she said, "It was my greed that killed Pearl. If Fan didn't want to marry high and found a similar family, he wouldn't have died like this."
There is no way to persuade him. Mr. Jueluo doesn't like to see this person very much.
It looks strong, but in reality it is just a blur.
A truly smart person would raise an illegitimate child?
If you really have a heart for your daughter, even if you don't want to become a concubine in the palace, you should still send your child back to the palace to raise her.
If you are greedy for everything, you will gain nothing.
If it were raised in the palace, even if it was a concubine, Pearl would not be timid and would be allowed to be manipulated by her mother-in-law.
But Jue Luo didn't have the heart to teach others, so he said: "You can make your own decision. If you don't take it back, you will keep your income every year. I hope you can live a smooth life and feel at ease with the pearl below."
At this moment, a girl came in and said: "Madam, come from the front to send a message. Master Jiu is here. Talk to the uncle in the front and come back soon."
When Li Jiashi heard that there were foreign guests, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Madam, I'll be busy first. I'll go back first."
Jueluo Shi nodded and ordered people to send him out.
Front yard, flower hall.
Brother Jiu looked at Qi Xi and said: "Father-in-law, please don't be too nice. Although this is not murder, but not hiring a doctor for the mother is almost like murder. Not to mention paying for her life, it's almost the same. We can't take advantage of them like this.
"
Qi Xi's eyes were blue. He didn't sleep well last night. When he closed his eyes, he looked like his cousin Peng Chun before he was alive.
Although the relationship between the cousins gradually grew apart over the years, things were going well in the past.
In the early years, this place also received more protection from the government.
In total, I only asked him for one thing, but it didn't end well.
Qi Xi nodded and said: "Brother is right, I won't let it go like this, I have to give an explanation..."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Father-in-law, we have to prevent them from arguing. We can't agree to a funeral. What if this person is taken out and his family changes their tune?"
Qi Xi looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Then let's talk nonsense. I'm not afraid of their family arguing. Your mother-in-law and I don't want people to stop at Beizi Mansion anymore."
The twelve sons of Sunu all stood still. Nine of them were married and had more than ten grandchildren. There were also three younger sons and about ten daughters who had not left the government. The palace was full of people.
The place is small and the memorial shed is shabby and messy.
From the Beizi Mansion's point of view, the junior's coffin, with his elders on top, was not that serious at all.
Qi Xi felt that this money could not be saved and had to be spent by Beizi Mansion.
If you don't have money, then you have to cut your flesh.
This knife won't hurt unless it cuts you.
When we arrived at the Beiding Niangniang Temple, there were all Taoist, Buddhist, and Sanjia monasteries. We couldn’t stop at Qiqi, but we also had to stop at Wuqi.
When the real money is spent, can the generals and madam of Beizi Mansion spare the culprits?
That Mr. Ma still wants to rely on his old age and enjoy his old age, but it depends on everyone's tolerance.
When the time comes, if dog bites dog, Pearl will be angry...
