Delicate Flower Chapter 149: Old things

Yu Wen came back very late and was very drunk.

Yu Tang, who had been paying attention to his father's whereabouts, came out when he heard the commotion. While helping A Tiao support Yu Wen, who was unsteady on his feet, he said, "Dad, have you gone to buy the land from the Li family?"

She initially did not want her father to buy the Li family's land because she felt that the water in that land could not bypass the water canals of the Li family and the Li family's clan house. If the Li family cut off the water supply, the field would be useless. From now on, the involvement with the Li family will be too deep and too troublesome.

Yu Wen laughed, looking very proud. He stretched out three fingers towards Yu Tang and said incoherently: "It's thirty acres, I bought thirty acres." Then he rubbed Yu Tang vigorously. The brain, "It's all yours, it's all left to you."

A warm current flowed through Yu Tang's heart, but this warmth was quickly replaced by confusion.

She helped her father to the yard with difficulty and said: "Dad, didn't you say that Mr. Wu bought the big one and you bought the small one? Why did you suddenly buy thirty acres? And, what about the fifty acres of land? What about the irrigation? Have you discussed this with the Li family before signing the lease?"

"Don't worry!" Yu Wen pushed A Tiao and Yu Tang away, staggering to go into the house by himself, "The three masters have arranged it for me, and the Li family clan has also agreed. Wu The master only wants twenty acres of land..."

Why is this matter still related to Pei Yan?

Yu Tang was stunned. It took him a while to come back to his senses and wanted to ask his father carefully what was going on. Yu Wen had already stepped into the inner room, shouting Chen's maiden name loudly and yelling, "I'm drunk, why don't you come and help me in?" This made Chen blush and hide. He doesn't want to come out of the inner room.

She had no choice but to stroke her forehead and go back to her room, thinking of going to block Yuwen at the door of the main room the next morning.

I never thought that Yu Wen would have already left the door early.

Yu Tang looked at the white fish belly that had just appeared on the horizon and said in surprise: "So early?!"

Ms. Chen looked tired and smiled helplessly: "I said I made an appointment with Mr. Wu to go see the Li family's land."

So my mother already knew that my father had bought thirty acres of paddy field from Li Duan's family.

Yu Tang said: "Did Dad say anything else?"

"No." Mrs. Chen said, "He just went crazy last night while drinking. What can he say?" After saying that, his ears turned red.

Yu Tang didn't notice and accompanied his mother to have breakfast.

Yu Wen came back with excitement on his face.

As soon as he entered the door, he said to Yu Tang and Chen: "It's good now! The thirty acres of paddy fields that can grow green rice belong to our family. Mr. Pei San did not come forward and asked Manager Pei to help. , the water was brought over from the canal over the Pei family, and the Pei family could also help take care of it on weekdays. I looked at the steward of the Li Duan family, and his face was not very good." After saying that, he even rubbed his hands. The daughter's head said, "I didn't expect that I would be able to enjoy the blessings of our family A Tang so early!"

What is this?

Yu Tang glared at his father.

Yu Wen didn't take it seriously, and sat down next to Chen with a smile. While Mrs. Chen was serving porridge to him, he explained: "I didn't know that the paddy field next to the Li family actually belonged to the Pei family, and I even made a special trip to invite him. I asked Mr. Pei San to help negotiate a deal. Mr. Pei San only said that I could buy the land with confidence and that if I had anything to do, I could contact him. I thought at first that he was going to advise the people in the Li family’s clan not to make things difficult for us in the future, but who knew it would actually happen? It's to dig a hole in the Pei family's canal. This is much better than signing a contract with the Li family - if the Li family regrets it in the future, shouldn't I go to the Li family every time with the contract? However, I also regret it a little. The best two hundred acres of paddy fields in Lin'an are in the hands of the Li family. The Pei family has land next to the Li family. The Li family wants to sell the land, and maybe the Pei family also wants to buy it. But the matter has come to this, and it won't be good to say anything else. ”

After speaking, Yu Wen sighed and said with emotion: "The Pei family is really generous and kind."

Yu Tang said: "Is it because of this that Mr. Wu only bought twenty acres of land. And the twenty acres of land are between our family and the Pei family."

"How do you know?" Yu Wenqi asked.

The villain in Yu Tang's heart rolled his eyes at Yu Wen. But as my father said, the matter has reached this point, and it is useless to say more.

Yu Wen also brought a piece of news that was very different from his previous life: "I heard from Mr. Wu that the Li family may move to Hangzhou after October."

Both Yu Tang and Chen were shocked.

People are humble when they leave their hometown.

Idle people will not leave their hometown easily.

Ms. Chen said anxiously: "Who said this? Why did the Li family move to Hangzhou City?"

Yu Wen said: "Mr. Wu heard what the manager of the Li family said. The manager also said that the Li family had bought a house in Hangzhou before and quietly transported some of their belongings to Hangzhou. They only waited until the first day of October. After paying homage to our ancestors, we are about to move. As for Li Duan, he will also go to the capital to study with Mr. Li. Isn’t he a candidate? The competition will be held next year, so it’s right for him to go to the capital in advance, there shouldn’t be any falsehoods.”

The Jinshi exam is held every three years. Counting the days, it’s the year of the competition.

Ms. Chen nodded and talked to Yu Wen about how to farm the newly purchased thirty acres of land.

Yu Tang’s thoughts wandered to no one knows where.

In his previous life, Li Duan failed to finish twice in a row. As soon as he played, he was named a Jinshi. Pei Tong, the eldest son of the Pei family, and Pei Chan, a member of the Pei family, won the Jinshi together with Li Duan.

Lin'an produced three Jinshi in one term, which caused a sensation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Now the situation has changed. If Li Duan leaves the game early, will he be able to pass the Jinshi examination in one game? If he went to the capital to study, it would be difficult for her to meet him again in the future, let alone retaliate. Could she just let Li Duan leave Lin'an like this?

Can Liu Xiaoshan’s death just be settled like this?

Yu Tang was unwilling to give in.

She felt that people like Li Duan were not worthy of being an official or making achievements in their career.

Before, she thought she still had time, but now that she thinks about it, everything should be arranged as soon as possible.

Yu Tang frowned.

In terms of career, let alone her, even if her father came forward, there was no way he could do anything to Li Duan.

In life, the marriage between the Li family and the Gu family is over. Although the Li family is selling land now, it has nothing to do with her, and the Li family is only temporarily short of money. As long as Li Yi is still an official, the Li family will be able to overcome the difficulties soon.

Unless the Li family no longer serves as officials.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Yu Tang remembered something.

In his previous life, something happened to Li Yi five years later, the second year after Li Duan was admitted to Jinshi and was elected as Shujishi.

When he was the prefect of Rizhao, he handled a case of adultery between a widowed sister-in-law and her brother-in-law. Li Yi sentenced the widowed sister-in-law to death, and her brother-in-law was exiled for three thousand miles. The brother-in-law was weak and died on the way. As a result, five years after the incident, the son of the widowed sister-in-law grew up and beat drums at the gate of Dali Temple to express his grievances. He would rather get fifty pills first than sue Li Yi. It is said that the widow's sister-in-law did not commit adultery with her brother-in-law at all, but the husband of a wealthy family named Li in Rizhao, who was beaten by her brother-in-law and held a grudge against her, falsely accused her and her brother-in-law of adultery. It's an unjust case.

When the news came out, Li Yi's reputation was damaged.

The Gu family came forward to turn the tide, and in the end Li Yi was lightly fined with three months' salary.

People outside said that the wealthy family surnamed Li had evil intentions, and they scolded the wealthy family for a good death.

The Li family was not allowed to talk about this matter.

Yu Tang overheard Gu Xi’s dowry and wet nurse privately complaining about Lin’s harsh treatment of Gu Xi, imitating Gu Xi’s tone and ridiculing Li Yi, “I have short-sighted eyes, and I think it’s just a few words of flattery from others.” I am really someone else's elder, and I don't know the importance of money when I see it."

At that time, she thought that the woman was just trying to complain for Gu Xi, but now that she looked back and thought about it carefully, she found that there was a lot of reason for her words.

Mrs. Tang was still a scholar. In order to curry favor with Magistrate Tang, she tried to get close to Magistrate Tang. Li Dahu in Rizhao has the same surname as Li Yi, and maybe he is related to Li Yi like Mrs. Tang did. Li Dahu wanted to frame his widowed sister-in-law and brother-in-law, but he couldn't do it without Li Yi's help. "You don't know the importance of money when you see it", maybe it refers to Li Yi's receipt of money from Li Dahu's family.

It's a pity that she paid too much attention to Lin's likes and dislikes at that time. Lin didn't allow others to discuss this matter, so she really didn't ask anything.

Calculating the time, the case of the widowed sister-in-law and the brother-in-law should have been decided when Li Yi was about to leave Rizhao.

People in Lin'an City are spreading rumors that the car that Li Yi asked Li Jun to bring back was buried in the ground... maybe it really has something to do with it?

Thinking of this, Yu Tang patted his head.

This is just random thinking.

If Li Yi had such a large sum of money, why would he sell the 50 acres of Yongye field that can produce blue stem rice.

No!

Yutang’s heart skipped a beat.

If the Li family wants to launder this money, they can also sell the fifty acres of Yongye land.

Her heart was pounding.

In the previous life, the Li family did not sell the fifty acres of Yongye land.

However, when Gu Xi married in, Mrs. Lin told others how generous Gu Xi's dowry was and how much benefit the Li family had received.

Did Gu Xi really bring so much dowry?

Yu Tang tried hard to recall the details of Gu Xi's life.

Gu Xi has a high vision and dresses in a simple, elegant, solemn and appropriate manner. Although she adds clothes and jewelry every year, she only wears them when she needs to go out to socialize. At home, she usually wears old clothes and a few pieces of jewelry that she says she likes very much. In the eyes of outsiders, her clothes are never the same, and she looks bright and beautiful every time she appears. Not only is she praised, but many people also imitate her. In the eyes of the servants of the Li family, Gu Xi was simple and generous, diligent and thrifty in running the household~IndoMTL.com~ He was never stingy with the money he should use, but he was not willing to spend any extra money he should not use. In Gu Xi's words, this is the principle and the bottom line.

Yu Tang sneered.

She didn't know it before and thought that this was how wealthy people lived.

Now let’s look at Pei Lao’an.

People don’t like to wear bright clothes during the filial piety period, so they spend money to dress up the younger members of the family. Even people like her who are complimented by others benefit from it... Gu Xi is not from a wealthy family! Obviously, I have limited money, but I still want to look wealthy, just to put money on my face.

Thinking about this, Yu Tang made a new discovery.

In her previous life, Mrs. Lin had no kind words for Gu Xi, but she was very generous with money. Especially after the Li family and the Lin family made money from the maritime business, and after they found out that Gu Xi discovered Li Duan's dirty thoughts about her, they often called the master from Jinlou to come to the house to make jewelry for Gu Xi. I bought several shops in Hangzhou and Beijing and recorded them in Gu Xi's name.

She thought Lin was compensating Gu Xi for her son's sake, but now that she thought about it, that was not necessarily the case.
