Mrs. Gui's spirit does look very tired.

Wen Zifu felt sorry for his mother and wanted to persuade him again, but was kicked by Cao under the table.

He didn't understand for a moment, and turned his head and looked at his wife with wide eyes.

Cao pretended to be like nothing happened, and kept scolding her husband without any glance.

Then came Mrs. Gui's stage. The old lady was determined to do the trick well, but the silly son tried to replace him here.

Can the old lady feel so uncomfortable?

If there is any condition in her body, Mrs. Gui is more anxious to hire a doctor than anyone else, and will she talk about the bad news with them here?

Wen Zilan was also very concerned about the old lady's condition. Seeing that Wen Zifu did not insist on persuading him, he shut up.

Mrs. Gui finally gained control of the stage and said, "When I entered the door, the cash money I could use in the mansion was worse than now.

My mother-in-law, the grandmother of you two brothers, told me this.

Our ancestors in the mansion did have some family background, but they were defeated.

It has been almost seventy years since the defeat in the late Yongning year.

At that time, the capital had not been moved yet, and Lin'an was still under the feet of the emperor, the Duke Hou Bo Mansion, the family of men and women, many promising and many playboys.

There is one person in our Ding'an Marquis Mansion. The elders in the family are favored by their elders, and they are fighting cocks and crickets outside. They are all expensive things."

Mrs. Gui paused when she said this, looked around everyone, and smiled bitterly: "Isn't it nothing?

It's just chickens and crickets. Nowadays, there are many people playing with them, so it's not that expensive.

But they played too fiercely!

There are hundreds of taels of crickets, but they can’t take any of them. They can be raised well, and they can be photographed with thousands or even tens of thousands.

Everyone in the family favored him. Today, the old lady paid a hundred taels from the account. Tomorrow, the old man paid a hundred taels from the account. You and I will pay me a whole to the prodigal person, and they will hide it from each other.

The accountants are also confused. Everyone who asks for money will be given. In this case, a lot of money will be spent in three years."

Wen Yan listened and muttered: "It's better than Ji Jue..."

"It's much more powerful!" Someone echoed, and Mrs. Gui became even more excited. "So before, the old woman didn't think that the boy of the Ji family was spoiled too much. It's really hard to describe one of our ancestors!"

Wen Yan: "What happened later? Three years later, I found something wrong, so I couldn't find a way?"

"I thought about it," Mrs. Gui shook her head, "I have no talent to make money, nor have I am lucky.

Originally, I lost a lot of money in those three years, but it was far from the time when it was damaged by the muscles and bones and vital energy. The investment was also there. After a few years of slowing down, I could get better.

As a result, he was anxious to turn over and was stunned. He was fooled by the other two Dukes' mansions and invested money and built a flower boat on Xizi Lake.

Not only the children of aristocratic families, but also His Highnesses went there a lot.

One night, about ten people fell into the lake drunk and caught them all. The Ninth Prince who came out of the Central Palace was exhausted.

The emperor was furious. Those present were in trouble that day, and the three families who paid for the money to spend the boat did not escape. In the end, they almost emptied their family's assets so that no children beheaded and died.

That really hurts the foundation. In order to save his life, he sold a lot of ancestral property and was fined and reduced his salary. The next generation is worse than the next generation.

I wanted to do some stable business, but I didn't do it.

Lin'an City at that time was even more indulgent than it is now.

After the late emperor ascended the throne, he really couldn't stand the children of aristocratic families so unmotivated, so he insisted on moving the capital."

Wen Zilan frowned when she heard this: "Why haven't you ever heard anyone mention it? During the Yongning period, it was not that far away."

"Who dares to mention it? Is that just a playboy? There are also princes involved!" Mrs. Gui asked, "The investigation is not clean. Since then, all those who were involved on that day have lost favor in front of the imperial court.

The former emperor moved the capital and did not follow the north and stayed in Lin'an, which was more or less related to what happened back then."

Wen Yan understood.

In his later years, Emperor Yongning died in his legitimate ninth prince.

Ding'an Hou Mansion only set up a flower boat, and did not involve the prince's fight, so he spent money to protect his own family.

The late emperor ascended the throne and benefited from the death of the ninth prince. None of them knew whether the late emperor participated in the plan or was just disgusted with the lives of the children of aristocratic families. In short, he ignored his opposition and eliminated the will of the people and eventually moved the capital.

"What your grandmother received was a mess," said Mrs. Gui, "The last emperor had just ascended the throne a few years ago. The mansion was in a slump due to self-protection in the past few years. She was not a capable person to take care of the gifts, so she could barely support her.

When the old woman got married, she quickly handed over all the gifts to me.

When I was in my parents' home, I only learned some of my foundation, but I was not proficient. For the sake of the family, I could only learn by myself.

Who else can I ask about this? The mother-in-law who is familiar with the matter cannot help. How dare outsiders ask outsiders to know the situation in the mansion? They all have shame!

He suffered and suffered losses. The old woman held on and improved over the years, and the late emperor was about to move the capital!

We can only stay. To the outside world, we will not make any trouble. In fact, we have no money to make trouble if we want to.

So many dukes and uncles have gathered together to build their residences north, and the land prices have risen. How can we buy a "marquis' mansion"?

The old woman just wanted to support her existing family business and maintain the final decency of Ding'an Hou Mansion.

My mother-in-law asked me so much that day, and I also asked Erlang's wife.

If you have a few more years of stability, no matter what, the day the old woman dies, the Marquis's Mansion will no longer be left, so you can put aside your decent attitude.

Originally, I could have passed it smoothly, but I didn’t expect something happened to Dalang, hey!"

Mrs. Gui sighed a long sigh, wiped her face, and held Wen Yan's hand again: "Fortunately, I took Sister Yan and Brother Zhang back, otherwise the old woman would be in her heart..."

Cao was afraid that the old lady would become more and more excited, so he hurriedly said, "It's really not easy for you. If you don't tell me about the things about your ancestors, you won't know about the third uncle and you won't misunderstand if you say it."

"I have no shame to say it, your housekeeper, the old woman won't hide it from you," said Mrs. Gui, "Darang and Sanlang don't know. They told them that the family had no money, and their ancestors fought cocks and crickets, and they also had the entire flower boat. His Highness died on the boat, and he was almost involved in the battle for the throne. It was just because he lost money and didn't lose his life. It was better for us to be lucky. The old woman didn't want to say this, she would be disappointed!"

After hearing the whole story, Wen Ziliang hurriedly comforted Mrs. Gui.

Even though the old lady was not good to An, she also hindered An from going to Mingzhou, the money was not blamed on her, nor was she acquiesced to the embezzlement of the second house.

One thing goes one thing, and Wen Ziliang can't say that the old lady is not guilty of not paying money.

Cao agreed, but thought to himself that the old lady would really be humiliated. Her housekeeper's level was far inferior to her. Otherwise, with the old lady's temperament, would she give the gifts twelve years ago? She would have to hold it until her body couldn't bear it.

However, the more you manage the family, the less money you have, and you feel that your daughter-in-law is still a little capable, so you should change it and make money.

No matter how much I think about it, Cao would not expose Mrs. Gui’s complaints.

Like Cao, Wen Yan was also afraid that the old lady would complain endlessly.

"Grandmother," Wen Yan said softly, "but now we still don't have the money to buy the 'House Mansion'."

Mrs. Gui pursed her lips.

This girl really doesn’t have any pot to pick up any pot!
