On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 98 Dowry greed

Butler Wu would not deliberately embarrass him.

In any case, the eldest son came out of Aunt Wu's belly.

Moreover, he was also very polite to himself and said that since everyone's surname was Wu, they must have been the same family five hundred years ago.

Therefore, he is also willing to do some small things for him: "Give me their names, and I will check for you to see where they have settled now."

Added another sentence: "I asked Jin Jin to follow me earlier."

He is one year older than Mr. Wu, and has met more people with his master, so it is obvious that the two of them are in love with each other.

As the old saying goes, when a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, a knife is stabbed in the back; when a fellow villager meets another fellow villager, a knife is stabbed in the chest. This should be what they want to do.

Mr. Wu also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he could only smile bitterly: "I'm really afraid of their family, they dare to take clothes off the dead..."

He called the Xiao family rogues, and of course he meant it.

At this time, he had no intention of leaning against the red and green trees. He turned around and went back to discuss with his wife, planning to restrain his children from going out to avoid being entangled by the Xiao family.

Earlier on the road, he asked his boss to approach Xiao Xiu because there were too many dangers on the road. He was afraid that if he didn't follow the Xiao family, he would be abandoned by the Xiao family when encountering danger. He was even more afraid that the Xiao family would treat him like a fat sheep and kill him.

But the silly children in their family felt guilty for abandoning the Xiao family in the first place.

What's even more depressing is that the boss of his family probably really cares about Xiao Xiu and asked him to go out to socialize more and let the woman's elders meet him.

It's a pity that his son didn't understand his painstaking efforts at all. When he was asked to go out, he said he wanted to read and write articles, and forced him to go out, just like a young lady who was forced to accompany him to drink, which made him depressed to death.

Mrs. Wu was talking with her children, and was waiting for dinner to be delivered from the kitchen. She saw that her husband, who had said he was having a dinner party, had returned, looking thoughtful.

She then said: "Okay, you guys go back to your room first? I'll have the food delivered to your room later."

After her children left, she asked with concern: "Didn't you say you wanted to have dinner with the owner of Fengyu Grain Farm?"

Food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now that the world is in chaos, food is even more important.

The Shi family, who ran a grain farm, had food and money. Mr. Shi had five legitimate sons and concubines in total, but they only had one daughter, who was a legitimate daughter. She was deeply loved by Mr. Shi and his wife. There were rumors that they prepared a hundred acres of fertile land for their daughter, and also gave her a daughter. There is a shop and a dowry of a thousand taels of silver.

You know, when ordinary people marry their daughters, it is good to have two boxes and a few quilts.

I have also heard that even if a noble lady from the capital leaves the court, her dowry will only be about three to five thousand taels of silver.

If you can get your eldest son to marry a young lady from the Shi family, it will be like marrying a golden boy, and you won't have to worry about your eldest son for the rest of his life.

Mrs. Wu also hopes that he can bring her good news?

"I asked Butler Wu to postpone the dinner on the pretext that the county magistrate wanted to entertain us." After Master Wu finished speaking, he slapped his hand on the coffee table, unable to hide his anger: "It's really unlucky. I originally wanted to go to the drugstore to buy some ginseng and the like. He gave me the supplements as a gift, and who knew I would meet the Xiao family."

Mrs. Wu also looked disgusted: "Why did we meet them? They have taken nearly two hundred taels of silver from us. Now we are not afraid of them anymore. We have to let them pay it back!"

She has always looked down upon the Xiao family.

My family used to be a wealthy family with a restaurant and two houses.

Now that I have escaped, the property has lost more than a thousand taels of silver, and hundreds of taels of silver have been spent on the road.

They were originally considered wealthy, but if it weren't for their sister-in-law's private subsidies, they wouldn't even have the capital to open a restaurant.

Therefore, when she thought about the money given out, she felt very distressed.

Now that she has a backer, she doesn't take the Xiao family seriously anymore. Of course she wants to take the opportunity to get her money back.

"Come on, you just think that the money is lost." Mr. Wu glared at her: "Don't forget, a lot of people have died at the hands of the Xiao family. If we push people into a hurry, they will jump over the wall. ?"    "Besides, what if they take the opportunity to entangle us, Da Lang?"  

Mrs. Wu also thought of the Xiao family's murderous behavior, and couldn't help but trembled: "We have to keep them away from us."

Then he stood up suddenly: "No, I have to go and talk to my sister and ask her to blow some wind on the pillow and drive them farther away."

"In case we find our sister, we also want Xiao Xiu to climb a high branch."

"We can't let Da Lang know that the Xiao family is here, and we can't let the Shi family get wind of it."

Mr. Wu has no objection to this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed back.

The inconvenient thing about the Chen family is that he cannot enter the inner house without the permission of Magistrate Chen and Mrs. Chen.

After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Aunt Wu was also very angry. She immediately stood up and said, "Then let's go now. We must not let them off lightly."

She must be partial to her brothers and sister-in-law. Of course she hates the Xiao family and wants to take the opportunity to deal with them so that her brothers and sisters-in-law know that although she is a concubine, she is capable.

After a delay in going back and forth, it was almost dark when they passed by, and County Magistrate Chen and Mrs. Chen had just finished their dinner.

When the maid said that Aunt Wu was here, Mrs. Chen rinsed her mouth calmly and chuckled: "The Wu family is here. Aunt Wu knows the rules better. She brings her sister-in-law to say hello to me every day."

It's just that Aunt Wu wants to benefit from her mother's family and wants to promote the Wu family herself.

County Magistrate Chen was not very satisfied with Mr. Wu using his own name outside: "The Wu family doesn't understand the rules, so let's let them move out as soon as possible?"

Yaren introduced several houses and shops to Wu Yanzhong, Aunt Wu's eldest brother, and they were all pretty good.

But Wu Yanzhong didn't make a decision and instead took this opportunity to make friends with many people.

If people are willing to entertain him, it's all for their own sake.

The problem is that Wu Yanzhong is not his serious brother-in-law, and he does not want to offend his serious brother-in-law because of his improper brother-in-law.

He respects his wife, not only because she is open-minded, but also because he and his brother-in-law are somewhat like classmates.

Seeing that he knew what he was thinking, Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "That's all, for Da Lang's sake, can you be more tolerant?"

She was clearly telling him that I was willing to give the Wu family some thin noodles for the sake of your son.

She is not someone who does good deeds without leaving her name behind.

Moreover, since she occupies the identity of a legitimate mother and holds money, she will not be afraid of them being unfilial in the future.

County Magistrate Chen praised her: "My wife is virtuous. I don't care about the back house, just because my wife is there."

Now he pays more attention to maintaining his health. He stays in his wife's room four or five nights a month, and only stays one or two nights in the room of his two aunts.

The rest is spent alone in the study, practicing self-cultivation, or playing chess with the guests.

Anyway, he was very lucky that he was not a womanizer. There were only three women in the inner house, otherwise his waist would be too much to bear.

　Thanks for your votes.

　　With the ticket, my waist becomes stronger (*￣3)(ε￣*)
