Li was worried until he returned to the room.

When I opened the box in front of me, there were not many things inside. There were a few deeds on it. Mrs. Li looked through it and found that there were the deeds and land deeds of the shops in the town, the deeds, land deeds, and one of the houses in the village, which turned out to be the deeds and land deeds of a house in the south city of Beijing.

In addition to the house deeds and land deeds, there are two land deeds, one is in Mujia Village, which is two hectares; the other is in Linshui Village, which is ten hectares, which are ten hectares.

Below the book of the Constitution, there are several banknotes and a private seal. The amount of banknotes is different, the smallest is one or two hundred taels, the more than one thousand taels, and the money houses are also different, including Tongzhou and Beijing.

Li was not happy, but instead became more and more frightened, and his hands trembled.

The son is only twelve years old. If something happens to her husband, how can this family support her? Although the couple live together, the pillar of the family is the husband.

After experiencing the incident of the Gui family thirteen years ago, Li now wants nothing, just to take care of his son and live a stable life, but he sees turmoil. What should he do?

Li was worried, and heard someone say from a distance: "Is your wife in the house?"

It was Du Liujie's voice. Li showed disgust on his face. He put the box into the drawer of the kang cabinet and locked it. Then he pursed his lips and said, "Sister Liujie, come in and talk!"

Sister Du Liu picked up the curtain and came in. She was no longer as arrogant as the "legitimate daughter" before. She was a little obedient on her face and brought a robe in her hand.

"I sewed a robe for Lao Qi a few days ago." Du Liujie said with a forced smile.

Li looked at the rough stitches and sneered in his heart, but said gently on his face: "He doesn't lack clothes, why are you suffering from this fatigue? After all, he is the engagement person, but the clothes for his son-in-law should also be prepared."

When Du Liujie heard this, Xia Fei couldn't help but fly her cheeks, wrap her hands around her veil, and whispered: "I'm also sewing all my clothes, I'm afraid I can't take it!"

Li said kindly: "It's not a needlework lady, it's up to you, who doesn't know how to choose this?"

Du Liujie thought so too, but Mei Sheng is famous and everyone should praise her when she mentions it. She doesn’t want to be a needlework lady, but she doesn’t want to expose her shortcomings. She hesitated and said, “Madam, Bai Sui has run away with him, and Lao Qi has no one around. Is it a family who is a plus?”

It was just that I wanted to buy someone in the name of Du Qi.

Although the Du family has servants, they are rural families, not like gentry in the city.

In addition to the servant Baisui who ran away and Lao Cangtou who was guarding the door, there were only four people, chef Zhao Sao, servant Chen Pozi, maid Xiaoqing, and maid Pozu. Xiaoqing is the daughter of Mrs. Zhang, who worked as a errand by Li since childhood. The pomegranate was bought later and served by Du Liujie.

Pomegranate was sixteen years old and had decided to marry Du Liujie. However, after Zhang Fu's family became a fugitive slave, Mr. Du found out that Pomegranate had privately collected Zhang Fu's money and helped Bai Sui lie and escape. In anger, he sold the pomegranate directly.

Du Liujie is a coward. She dared to throw her face at her stepmother before, but she didn't dare to make a fuss in front of Du Lizheng. She didn't dare to make a fuss about pomegranate.

I am not afraid of not having pomegranates, but without a dowry girl, can she still do clothes and cook when she gets married to Mei’s family? Du Erniang was a fool back then, but she became an old lady when she entered the door. She, Du Liujie, was going to go to Mrs. Guan. If she really became a yellow-faced woman, would she be able to watch her concubine follow Mei Sheng in love?

Du Liujie's simple little tricks were all in Li's eyes.

In the past, Li would have to play with Du Liujie, but now he is not in the mood. He wanted to wave his hand to send Du Liujie down, but then he thought, "I heard that Mei Sheng is back today, maybe he is so embarrassed. Why don't he come to our house?"

Sister Du Liu did not respond, but she also brought joy to her face.

Li hesitated and said, "In theory, you are the youngest daughter of our master. The master has always loved you. He should have kept you at home for two more years, but Brother Sheng is only famous. The Mei family used the name of "not suitable for early marriage". Now that they are engaged to you, the guise of "not suitable for early marriage" cannot be beaten. If someone targets Brother Sheng'er's marriage, ordinary families will be fine. The master can still protect this marriage. If it is an official and gentleman, it is also worrying. Your second brother-in-law and the master of the family have always had the habit of bullying the weak and fearing the strong and greed for money."

Upon hearing this, Du Liujie immediately raised her eyebrows: "Do they still dare to regret getting married? Dad won't forgive them!"

Li said: "I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of anything!"

Sister Du Liu was asking for this marriage because she was so successful that she could not bear any mistakes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, I have promised the Mei family. If I want me to make room unless I die!"

"Where is the point of life? But the Mei family's previous intention was to wait until the provincial examination next year before booking a day. By then, Brother Sheng became a juren and was more decent than a juren. However, the people he came into contact with were naturally the same juren, and he was afraid that the black-hearted bastard wanted to marry a daughter and a girl. I heard that the official master also liked to choose a son-in-law among new juren, so this thought made people worry." Li sighed.

Sister Du Liu's face turned pale when she heard this.

Since getting engaged, Du Liujie got what she wished and became more worried about gains and losses. Now Li is telling what she is worried about.

"Madam, what should I do?" Du Liujie begged a little, "Can you tell me about it? It's really not possible. The marriage between the two families is earlier."

Li said, "This is more appropriate, but there is no reason why the woman is going to ask for a date! If she says this, not only will the master's face not be able to hold back, but she will also hurt her sister's decency."

Sister Du Liu smiled bitterly and said, "This marriage is not very decent, and even my father doesn't want to make trouble."

Du Liujie loves face, but it is more cost-effective. Engagement is different from getting married. Can the Mei family find an excuse to regret the marriage, and can the Mei family divorce their wife after getting married?

Mei Xiucai divorced his wife back then, but she completely ruined her reputation. As long as Mei Sheng values ​​the future, he will respect her as a "bad" no matter when it comes.

Then Li said, "After all your life, you have to be decent. Don't worry, I will discuss with the master to see if there is a more appropriate way."

"Mrs. All lazy." Sister Du Liu stood up to be a blessing and said sincerely gratefully.

Li helped her up, comforted her a few more words, and said a few days later to buy people in the town before sending her down.

This marriage was not what Li wanted. He originally made up his mind to disturb him, but after a few days, Li changed his mind.

Before, Li was unwilling to marry Du Liujie. First, he was unwilling to have a good end to Du Liujie, who had bullied his son. Second, he was worried that Mei Sheng, a cheap son-in-law, would be interested in Du's property in the future.

But if Mr. Du really has something to do now, it’s not the turn of Mei Sheng to think about the Du family, Mei Xiucai will be directly targeted. Then how can Li and Du Qi, the widow and young son, withstand it?

There is also the Li family in my parents' home, so they will inevitably be disorganized by the way, and Li will be very careful.

Mei Sheng and Mei Xiucai are in a disagreement, so they will cherish their reputation better, and they will be more afraid of their actions.

Li was also gambling, but he was helpless. There was another last method, which was to find Gui Wu, but that was the worst strategy. If you don’t use it, Li would still not know how to use it.

As for the Mei family’s remorse for marriage, Li was just lying casually. How could he know that he could feel right after he said that Mei Sheng, the Du family’s son-in-law, has been targeted by someone.

County school, dormitory.

Mei Sheng came in with a few books and copied books every day. This was where he reviewed it every day, and he could also make some pocket money. This was a habit he left behind in his early years.

Now Mei Sheng is a student of the Imperial College, and he has enough money to use it for him. However, the cost of studying and studying is high, and he needs money everywhere in the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He also needs to prepare for the cost of the provincial examination in the capital next year. Naturally, the more it will be better.

After finishing the simple washing, Mei Sheng sat at the desk and began to collect books without distractions.
