Chapter 195 The Cousin Under the Fence (4)

Dressing boxes, cloths, furs, medicines, and rare copies were all replaced with things collected in ordinary warehouses before.The gold and silver ingots in the box were put into the tiles collected from around the temple by her.

After all, Xia Hua has the custom of putting bricks and tiles first in the dowry!
She couldn't move the big piece of furniture, but she replaced all the things in the other locked boxes to minimize the loss.

In this way, she acquired more than 200 million taels worth of property.

Then she came out tremblingly with a dressing box in her hand.

After resting in the temple for another night, Zhu Jiayi returned home. At this time, the family and the uncle Du Kebao who came from Du Guogong's mansion had already divided the property clearly, and the property donated to the treasury was also divided into two batches according to the emperor's will. frontier and shipped west for disaster relief.

Zhu Jiayi would go to burn incense sticks for Zhu Pengxue and his wife every day, and burn paper to pray for blessings on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year. She would usually stay in the study, read books and practice handwriting, and then set off for the north after the three-month sales period had passed.

Most of the servants in the family were dismissed, leaving only the loyal old man guarding the ancestral house, and the shopkeeper helped manage the property in the south, and sent [-]% of the profits to her during the Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Therefore, Zhu Jiayi brought a family of Nanny Du and Mother Kang, as well as two big girls, Jinhan and Fanshuang, and four second-class girls, Miaofeng, Yuyan, Anyang, and Daiqing!
However, Zhu Jiayi inherited everything from the original owner, so she naturally knew that this 12-year-old girl was too cautious and humble.When Zhu's mother passed away, when she was taken to Du Guogong's mansion, she brought only a nanny and a sister-in-law Jin Han. She was looked down upon by everyone and entered the mansion through the corner door that the servants only left.

This time, when she was called back by her father who was critically ill, the little girl had already prepared for the worst. She had nothing to hope for, so she sent away all the girls and women around her and let them go their own way, still only bringing the nanny Nanny and Jinhan.

It was getting hotter in June, but the breeze on the river was quite refreshing, taking away the boredom in everyone's hearts. Looking at the rather generous cages on the big ship, they also raised hope for the future amidst their anxiety.

At the end of the month, the summer flowers were in full bloom. When they arrived at the pier, they did not see anyone from the Duke's Mansion to greet them.

Du Kebao is the grand lord of the Duke's Mansion. Although the old Duke has passed away for many years, none of them has made a bid to become a prince. Because the old lady is still there, the brand name in the mansion has not been changed.

He has a five-rank vain job, and along the way, he often got close to Jian Wenbin, the governor of Jinyiwei Township.Seeing that the family is so unreasonable now, I hurriedly ordered the boy to go back to the house to call for help.

Jian Wenbin walked to Zhu Jiayi's room and asked for instructions, "Miss Zhu, it's getting late, why don't you hire some carriages at the pier and let me escort you back to Duke Du's mansion?"

Du Kebao's brow was sweating anxiously, but he couldn't wink at his niece even though the door was closed tightly.

Then I heard Jin Han say: "Our girl said that Master Jian has to return to the Holy Majesty as soon as possible. If there is no delay, then it would be impolite, just as Master Jane said."

Jian Wenbin responded, strode directly off the boat to find the master of the dock, and only said a few words.

The master called for some leaders to take over the job.All of them are strong and strong men, and they loaded the box into the carriage with three or five strokes.

The master greeted some carriages with carports, all of which were laid out in green brocade, luxurious and in line with Zhu Jiayi's filial piety.

When they arrived at the gate of Du Guogong's mansion, there was a group of people driving out from the back door in a hurry.

Du Kebao hurried forward, put his feet on the door and scolded: "The cousin girls are already at the door, you guys still don't open the door? Where are you going to hide?"

The concierge was startled, and hurriedly opened the door, bowing and smiling obsequiously to invite people.

Jian Wenbin stood outside the carriage and said goodbye to Zhu Jiayi with a serious face.

Zhu Jiayi put on the veiled hat and was supported by Jin Han to get out of the car. When he was about to kneel down in front of him, he stopped him.

"Little daughter, thank the emperor for your grace, and also thank Lord Jane and all the adults for their protection.

I wish the family has only one daughter, and the expenses are not big, so I am willing to donate half of the dowry shop and farm production to the imperial court for the bounty hunters to offer rewards. "

Jian Wenbin clasped his fists and bowed slightly to her, saying: "I wish you righteousness, I will thank you on behalf of the Holy Majesty and the common people!"

Zhu Jiayi pursed her lips and said with an embarrassed smile, "Master Jian said so much that I am embarrassed to speak again."

"Ma'am, I wish you to speak frankly. I wish your lord is loyal to the court and dedicated himself to his duties. As his orphan, His Majesty will definitely take good care of the girl!"

"The little girl's mother has passed away for more than four years, and now her father has followed her away. The little girl will live with her grandmother's house in accordance with her father's wishes. She is afraid that the etiquette will lose her grandmother's face, so the little girl wants to ask Lord Jane to help her find a mentor." She lowered her head nervously and said in a low voice.

Jian Wenbin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect her to have such a small request, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can entrust the matter to Jian's residence."

Zhu Jiayi thanked him, watched Jin Yiwei leave, and then whispered a few words to Jin Han.

"Our girl said that it's her own relatives who can't act like this. Besides, the girl is still in the filial piety period, so according to the rules, she has to go through the side door." Jin Han straightened his waist slightly, and said crisply.

Everyone hastily opened the side door and carried out the sedan chair.

Du Guogong's mansion is very large, but in a blink of an eye, the afterglow from the sky was swallowed up, and the red lanterns in the mansion were lit up, and they were so festive that everyone from Nanjiang province felt very uncomfortable.

"Yi'er is here. My ancestors have been saying it three or five times every day, and they have sent people to the pier seven or eight times in the past two days." As the sedan chair fell, a hearty female voice sounded, indeed The daughter-in-law of Du Ziwei, the eldest son's second grandfather.

Zhu Jiayi came out, smiled lightly and blessed her body: "Second sister-in-law is good."

Wen Yading grabbed her hand and said with pity: "Look at this lovely person, why is life so hard, we only raised that little meat, but after leaving for a few months, it all disappeared.

Uncle is most worried about you, you can take good care of your body, so he can leave with peace of mind..."

Zhu Jiayi just lowered her head and whispered, "Yes, my father is most concerned about me."

Jin Han smiled and came forward to greet Wen Yading, "Second Mistress, please stop talking, the girl stopped after a lot of effort, and you have messed with her golden beads again."

"Look at me, it's time to hit me," Wen Yading said, she was a little surprised when she saw the box behind half of the courtyard, the greed in her eyes flashed away, "Yi'er, this is..."

"Father has already gone. I was afraid that I would not be able to go back to Nanjiang Province, so I brought all my things and asked my second sister-in-law to arrange a place for me."

Wen Yading was a little embarrassed, there were many houses in the family, but except for the commonly used courtyard, the rest were covered with dust, how could they just use it?
