I steamed buns for the general

Chapter 63

To say that Aunt Zhao is not a smart person, she just threw Xie Zhijin into the mass grave with Xie Yuanzhou's acquiescence more than ten years ago with a little bit of ruthlessness.After more than ten years, the child who she thought would never come back suddenly appeared, which of course made her unhappy.

In the past two years, she has been sending people to inquire about Xie Zhijin's details, but Wen Xueyuan is like an iron bucket maintained by Xie Zhijin, and no one has been mixed in for so long.At that time, she regretted that she shouldn't have taken the maids and maids away, and staying here was good for an eyeliner, but who knew that it would not be so easy to insert them after taking them away.

The last time she saw the decoration of Xie Zhijin's house and the headgear she wore, she suddenly felt that she had been cheated.She thought that without the Xie family's support, her life would be very difficult, but unexpectedly she looked very rich.

Fortunately, after discussing with Xie Yuanzhou, she was betrothed to the Wei family.The Wei family is a family of merchants, and there is no shortage of yellow and white things. Aunt Zhao and Xie Zhimian are dazzled by the betrothal gifts. Of course, Aunt Zhao does not intend to give Xie Zhijin all these betrothal gifts. Buy a dowry for Xie Zhimian.

You must know that Xie's family is a noble family, relying on Xie Yuanzhou's salary alone is far from enough, plus the Xie family's weak foundation, without these silver taels, Xie Zhimian's dowry might not look good.

A woman's dowry is dependent on her natal family, and with a generous dowry, she also has confidence in her husband's family.Xie Zhimian is her beloved daughter, so naturally she won't let her be wronged.

Thinking about Xie Zhijin, I am afraid that he has a lot of money.In the past few days, Xie Yuanzhou sent people to investigate Xie Zhijin, and unexpectedly discovered that this girl opened many shops outside.No matter it's a jewelry shop, a rouge shop or a restaurant, they have all set foot in it, even the beauty shop is said to be owned by this girl.

Aunt Zhao discussed with Xie Yuanzhou about the water splashed by her married daughter, and they felt that Xie Zhijin should keep these properties.

So after being hired by the Wei family, Aunt Zhao brought Xie Zhimian and a group of servants and maids to Wenxue Courtyard.

Wenxue Courtyard is an inner house, and Xie Zhijin only bought some maids and servants at the beginning, but compared with Xie's, it is always lost in the number of people.

Aunt Zhao and Xie Zhimian walked in front, and in front of them, there were five or six burly women who pushed away the women and girls in Wen Xueyuan, and went straight to the main house.

"You can't go in..." Yue Ban anxiously went to stop her, but was pushed to the ground by two women.

"Hmph, there are internal thieves in Xie's mansion, so we need to search them carefully." Aunt Zhao said with a sarcastic smile on her lips, "Search for me."

The women and servants immediately became energetic when they heard it, and they didn't care about the people in the Wenxue Courtyard, they just took the valuables when they saw them.If it's not easy to hold, just throw it on the ground.

Zhijin looked pale and looked at Aunt Zhao coldly without saying a word.Yue Ban and Yue Hui waited for the little girl to rush forward to stop her, but they were pushed aside by the servants.

Aunt Zhao was very proud, she sat on the teacher's chair leisurely, Lan Hua pointed and said brightly: "Search for me, you must find it for me."

"You robbers." Yue Hui's anxious tears fell, Zhijin took her arm, and said in a low voice: "Let them steal it, and they will return it one day."

After a while, the Wenxue Courtyard was already in a mess, and the old woman held all the valuables and jewelry in her hands, and she said to Aunt Zhao as if asking for credit: "My aunt found them all."

Aunt Zhao squinted at Xie Zhijin, then stood up, Xie Zhimian hurried forward to support her, and looked back at Xie Zhijin with pride and contempt in her eyes.

"Let's go." Aunt Zhao walked to the door, turned her head again, and said with a smile: "Yes, Miss. The master has arranged a good marriage for you, and the engagement has already been made. The first day of June is a good day to get married, my lord." The young lady should prepare well for marriage. Those business ladies who show up in the public eye should be handed over to the grandfather. The master is also sympathetic to the young lady, and asked the young lady to hand over all the property in three days, and it will be used as a dowry when the young lady gets married. Three days later I'll come to pick it up, Missy, make sure it's ready."

Zhijin clasped her hands tightly, looked at her coldly, and smiled, "Hmph, if Auntie likes these gadgets, then take them, I have plenty."

A group of people came and went in a hurry like robbers, and left after grabbing things.

Yuehui and Yueban were out of breath from crying, Xie Zhijin sighed, but found a look looking at her, she saw that it was a teenage girl, she should be a child doing rough work At this moment, he clenched his fist in his forehand, and seeing Zhijin looked over, his eyes became more determined.

"What's your name?" Zhijin looked at her, seeing perseverance in her eyes.

The little girl came over to salute, but she didn't cry like Yue Ban and Yue Hui, she replied in a clear and orderly way: "I know Yu, you are the little girl in the kitchen."

Zhijin nodded, didn't speak any more, turned her head to comfort Yuehui and Yueban, "Okay, these are all external things, so there's no need to be sad."

Seeing her understatement, Yue Hui snorted and said, "But Miss and Brother Qi earned it so hard. This Aunt Zhao is really shameless."

Zhijin said: "You also said that she is shameless, and she still wants my shops. It's a beautiful idea. Yueban, you can make arrangements. I want to see Qi Zhen tomorrow."

Yue Ban wiped away her tears, feeling that she was too worthless and the girl was not doing much, they were weak first, they were ordered to serve the girl, and it would be damned to let the master comfort the slave instead.Yue Ban nodded sheepishly, "Well, I understand. Miss, let's go to rest first, and let's tidy up."

It would be a lie to say that Zhijin is not angry, people have already bullied her, if she still allows others to bully her, she will be too sorry for herself.The little girls all packed their things in a depressed mood. This time, Aunt Zhao snatched all the valuable things from Zhijin like a robber.Fortunately, her land deeds were well hidden and were not discovered.

On the second day early in the morning, Zhijin took Yue Ban to meet Xue Lang at the corner gate and went out together, and went straight to the teahouse where Xue Lang and Qi Zhen met yesterday.

"Yue Ban, you are guarding outside." Zhi Jin led Xue Lang into the private room, and the shopkeeper closed the door cleverly and left.

The few people were not polite, Qi Zhen took out the account book that he got yesterday and put it on the table, "This is the Wei family's account book. I read it all night last night, and it was really tricky."

Zhijin didn't find it strange at all. He just hadn't come into contact with people like the Wei family, but as soon as he heard that there were many dirty things in the Wei family in Yurou Township.

Sure enough, Qi Zhen said: "This Wei family not only robs the women of the people and forces them into prostitution, but also cooperates with the South Korean government to collect money, greedy for ink, disaster relief money and military pay."

As soon as the words came out, Zhijin couldn't help being surprised, picked up the ledger and flipped through it, "It's just a record, but is there any substantive evidence?"

Qi Zhen shook her head, her face full of helplessness: "The people I have on hand are all engaged in business, and it is not easy to inquire about these aspects. After all, it involves the affairs of the court, and the thing they committed to rob people's daughters is okay. Collect evidence."

Xue Lang looked up at Zhijin and asked, "Do you need to deal with the Korean government? If you want to, I have a way to collect evidence."

Zhijin looked at him in surprise, distrusting him very much. Before meeting him, Xue Lang was just a beggar who made a living by begging in the Town God’s Temple. way?

Xue Lang's face turned red from her stare, and he was a little annoyed, "I was sent by General Qin to protect you, it's definitely not just because I met you. You can leave it to me to handle things like this, the general is leaving Some people were left to protect the girl before, and we can ask General Zhang Yao for help, we can all collect evidence."

Zhijin still has some mistrust, but there is no good way now, so he can only nod and let him try: "Collect as much evidence as you can. Even if they are greedy for disaster relief money and military pay, these people should die. But the main thing is to collect evidence. The Wei family, especially Wei Cheng’s criminal evidence is the main one. At that time, Xue Lang will secretly throw all the evidence collected to Dali Temple Minister. Then he will spend money to subsidize those suffering masters, and go to the Yamen to sue together. I don’t believe that the Wei family can survive .”

Xue Lang nodded, and then returned to silence.Suddenly remembered what I heard about Wenxueyuan yesterday, and asked: "Last night..."

He was interrupted by Zhijin before he finished speaking, "I was just bitten by a dog last night, it's okay. By the way." She took out some house deeds and land deeds and pushed them to Qi Zhen, and said with a smile: "The Xie family won't Allow me to live a very good life, you take these, and go through the transfer procedures today, and all the land and house deeds will be changed to your name. They will be handed over to me after I get married in the future."

Qi Zhen was so shocked that she couldn't speak, "This...how is this possible."

Zhijin smiled gently and briefly explained what happened last night.Qi Zhen and Xue Lang clenched their fists even more angrily.Xue Lang said angrily, "Why didn't someone notify me?"

Qi Zhen also said: "They deceive people too much."

Zhijin smiled helplessly: "Jirenxia is so involuntary. I'm fine, but Zhihang, alas. Brother Qi, don't refuse. If you don't accept these things, they will divide them up sooner or later."

What she said was too bleak, Qi Zhen was a little sad, he didn't know what the relationship between Zhijin and Xie's family was, he just felt wronged for her, there are such parents in the world.He thought for a moment, put the things away, nodded and said: "Don't worry, I just keep it for you. When you get married to General Qin someday, I will definitely give it to you with both hands."

Zhijin smiled and said, "Okay, but there is still something that needs to be done by Brother Qi."

"Please tell me." Qi Zhen said seriously.

"Now we have a lot of money. Set aside part of it as turnover, and the rest to buy the Xie family's property." Zhijin sneered.Didn't they want to rob her property, then I will leave you with nothing.

After thinking about it for a while, Qi Zhen understood what she meant, and nodded in agreement.

On the same day, the two went to the Yamen to hand over the house deeds and land deeds. Since then, those profitable shops have no ownership relationship with Zhijin.Qi Zhen only gave her the corresponding living expenses every month.

However, Xue Lang came out of the teahouse and went straight to the Qin Mansion, and told Jiang Shi about Zhijin’s experience in the Xie Mansion. , but it is not easy to send it there, it just so happens that the border war is very urgent, and we have no time, but I don't want this noble family on Xie Jiaming's face to do such a dirty thing."

Finally, Jiang asked him to pay more attention to the situation at Zhijin's side, and to notify here as soon as possible if something happened.Xue Lang agreed, went to the front yard to see Xue Chen, and then returned to Xie's house.
