The Submissive Emperor

Chapter 12: family property

Lou Jing is the eldest son of the family. Marrying him out by his father is equivalent to dividing the family. The property he deserves is not only the 40 thousand tael dowry given by his father.

"The other accounts will be kept properly by the subordinates," Cheng Xiuru understood, and took the account books back. "One more thing, the Lord Guo sent someone to Jinzhou yesterday."

A cold light flashed in Lou Jing's eyes, and the smile on his face remained unchanged, "Let him go, there is no token of mine in Jinzhou, no one can touch a penny."

After Cheng Xiuru left, Lou Jing found Gao Yi again, "Has Lingnan's reply arrived?"

"I'm here, I'm about to tell you," Gao Yi took out a letter from his arms, "Master Hou handed it over, so that you can stay calm and restless."

Lou Jing took the thick cocoon paper envelope in Gao Yi's hand. This letter was sent by a special person to Starry Night. It was not easy to get it back and forth for thousands of miles and within half a month. This letter is very important to him, because the recipient is his eldest uncle-Ping Jianghou.

The Pingjiang Hou Mansion is the same as the Anguo Gong Mansion. There have been warriors from generation to generation. In recent years, Lingnan is not peaceful, and the emperor sent Pingjiang Hou to guard Lingnan. Several of Lou Jing's uncles and family members followed. They couldn't see each other all the year round, but there would be correspondence between them every two or three months. This time the father treated him this way, as a son out of filial piety, he couldn't do a lot of things. At this time, he must have the help of his uncle.

Opening the letter and reading the contents carefully three times, Lou Jing exhaled and smiled and carried the letter into his arms.

The uncle's letter actually expresses three meanings: first, your uncle is very angry; second, the other uncles are also very angry; third, your second uncle and eldest aunt will arrive in Beijing soon.

In the front hall, Lou Jian Yuzheng smiled and introduced relatives to Xiao Chengjun.

"This is Zhuoyu's uncle Yongningbo." Lou Jianyu pointed at Yongningbo Wei Yan.

Wei Yanli smiled and stepped forward to salute, "Chen Wei Yan, I have seen His Royal Highness."

Xiao Chengjun glanced at Yong Ningbo, "I heard that the princess's family is Pingjianghou, why is the uncle Yong Ningbo?"

As soon as he said this, Yong Ningbo's face immediately flushed.

Lou Jianyu was also choking, and the true uncle Ping Jianghou was still alive. It was indeed inappropriate for him to introduce the elder brother of the stepmother like this, but what did he want to say, should he tell the prince that this is the elder brother of the stepmother of the princess concubine?

Seeing Zhang hurriedly out of the second uncle building to make a round, "His Royal Highness does not know, this is the brother of the step-madam, and Hou Pingjiang is the mother of Madam Yuan."

His Royal Highness picked up the tea and took a sip unhurriedly. The scene was a bit cold at once.

"Yeah, yeah," Sanshulou saw Nan seeing his second elder brother in the limelight, and followed his help. "Even though he is the stepmother's elder brother, he is also the eldest uncle!"

Lou Jianyu had listened to the second brother's words, and was smiling and nodding. Who knew that the third brother who couldn't speak made him almost breathless.

Yong Ningbo's face rose to the color of pig liver. His ancestors fought with Taizu in those years, and did not make any extraordinary achievements, so he was only named an uncle, and Yongning Bofu has always had very few generals. In fact, he was a shabby household in the honor, until he married his younger sister to Anguo. The house is filled by the public, and the livelihood of the family has improved only by relying on the big tree of the Anguo government.

The other honorable men with in-laws stood aside, and didn't mean to get in at all. They were obviously jokes.

Things in the front hall soon spread to the backyard, and Mrs. Anguo's wife Wei, overwhelmed with anger, overturned the cup in her hand and glared at the third aunt.

The third aunt shrank her neck and turned to look at the second aunt.

The second aunt curled her lips quietly, and then smiled and said to Wei: "Madam, don't be angry. His third uncle probably met the prince for the first time. He will inevitably say the wrong thing tremblingly, so please bear with me."

Wei's still young face can't cover up his mood well, "Sanshu doesn't want to please the prince with a face like this, he will only look down on the prince even more."

"Why, why is it shameless?" The third aunt was immediately unhappy, "Isn't this also for the sake of saving the world's son?"

Wei Clan glanced around the house of the female relatives. There were basically no outsiders. They were all the daughters-in-law and daughters of the Lou's family, as well as the maids in the mansion. There will be new sons, and you may be so diligent than others."

There was a banquet at noon, Lou Jing sat in the Vermilion Hall by himself, and Lexian served him leisurely and enjoyed his meal. He didn't pay much attention to the banquet and noodles. He quickly finished eating. Suzakutang's affairs had been arranged, and there was nothing to do, so he got up and went to the storeroom.

He walked in a hurry when he got married, and he couldn't get up, and he hadn't had time to take away some things.

The female guest did not invite outsiders because there was no grandmother on the side of the female guest. Wei's heart was upset, and the meal was annoying. By going out to the toilet, the second aunt asked a little girl to inquire about the front office.

"Second sister-in-law, why did you abduct it here, so I can find it easily." The third aunt had no idea and the second aunt had no idea. When she came out, she ran out too.

"I don't want to sit there and look at Wei's face." The second aunt waved the handkerchief fan.

"Yes," the third aunt squeezed the veil in her hand. "Our third master didn't say anything wrong, isn't he just a stepmother."

"Hmph, I want to recognize my mother, and I don't even see how I treat Zhuoyu. I had to fight for the reward right after I passed the door. As a result, I didn't even make winter clothes for the son of the world." The second aunt said angrily.

"Second sister-in-law, isn't it written on the account you gave that you did it?" The third aunt said in a low voice. Lou Jing's mother passed away. She gave way, thinking about creating some problems for her. Who knows that the innocent one actually did not make winter clothes for Lou Jing. Old Anguo knew about it and scolded all three of them.

"Hmph, anyway, this step-madam didn't plan to give us a good life, according to my opinion, this house should have been divided earlier," the second aunt pouted, "Listen to what she means today, if you wait for her to give birth A son and a half daughter, there is no place for us to stand in this mansion."

"Or..." The third aunt looked at the second aunt's face. "Let's talk to Shi Ziye. He and Wei Clan didn't deal with it at all, and we grew up when we were young, and he will definitely help us. "

The second aunt stopped shaking the hand of the kerchief, thinking for a while, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet: "Okay, I still have a copy of the account book copied the year before, so I might as well just give it to Zhuoyu. When the time comes, we will let him come back. Call the shots."

Xiao Chengjun was still sitting in the main hall in a calm and calm manner. Whoever came to toast was just a sip. He was the prince, and others did not dare to ask him to finish the wine, so he had to drink three glasses for the prince to take a sip. Halfway through, the underside of the Prince's Hall didn't change color, but those toasting first blushed.

Lou Jianyu made an excuse to change his clothes, so he called the young man and asked, "Where is the prince?"

"I haven't come out in the Vermillion Bird Hall all the time." Xiao Si replied immediately.

Lou Jianyu nodded, "I'm going to Suzaku Hall, you are staring here, and immediately report to me if you have anything."

"Yes." Xiao Si nodded hurriedly.

Lou Jing didn't know that he had been missed by many people, and was very happy in the private vault of Suzaku Hall.

Since he was in elementary school, he was a kungfu in the inner family, and he was not particularly good at weapons, but thinking that in a few days he would have to please the empress empress, so he took a treasured sword-Chi Xiao. The Chixiao Sword is a famous ancient tool, made of bronze. Of course, this one in his hand is not a real Chixiao Sword, but a sharp sword that was imitated by a master swordsmith based on the totem of the Chixiao Sword two hundred years ago. .

The scabbard has complex carvings, with colorful beads embedded, and the hilt is decorated with Jiuhua jade, which is very beautiful. Lou Jing grasped the hilt of the sword and slowly drew out the sword.

"Would you like to pick another brush wash?" Gao Yi laughed as he came in. He also knew that Zhao Xizhen had left Lou Jing's favorite green jade brush wash.

Lou Jing glanced at Gao Yi, who was burly and honest, "You are clever in learning."

Gao Yi rubbed the bridge of his nose, "My brother always said that I was stupid and made me have a snack." Gao Yi's brother Gao Yun is a twin with him, but the two people have completely different personalities. Gao Yun is smarter than Gao Yi. There are many, so Lou Jing asked Gao Yun to guard the farm outside Beijing, where the dead men were raised, which was much shorter than those of the heads of the Angu Mansion.

Lou Jing ignored him and walked forward to a Duobaoge. He remembered that there was one that was carved at the same time as the one taken by Zhao Xi, and it was better than that. He was not willing to use it, but he could take it out and give it away. To Xiao Chengjun. Holding the cyan jade pen in his hand, Lou Jing suddenly thought that he should take the Prince's Palace to the farm to have a look. Since he intends to cooperate, he must show some cards to the lord, so that his Royal Highness will only raise him as a princess.

"Report to the princess, Anguo has entered the Vermilion Bird Hall." Le Xiantong said, guarding the gate outside.

What is he here for? Lou Jing raised his eyebrows, threw the two things in his hand to Le Xian, and raised his foot to the main hall.

"I haven't seen you in two days, your injury healed very quickly." Lou Jianyu saw Lou Jing act freely, secretly surprised.

Lou Jing was taken aback, only to realize that he could really walk well. He secretly sighed that the medicine was really magical, and said with a smile, "Thanks to my father, my son hasn't been abandoned."

"What are you talking about!" Lou saw Yu immediately furiously, "I am your father. Is it possible that I am not qualified to teach my son?"

"Father shouldn't ask me this. You have been hitting, so why don't you know now?" Lou Jing sat down and drank tea slowly.

Lou Jianyu was half-dead with anger, and almost forgot what he was coming to do. He took two rough breaths before relieving himself, "Since you are married, the ancestral property from Jinyang should be handed over to the public. , You ask Cheng Xiuru to prepare the accounts, and I will find someone to reconcile the accounts with him on the eighteenth of this month."

When Lou Jing heard the words, he put down the tea cup with a smile, and looked straight at his father, "The farm shops in Jinyang were all made by my grandfather a few years beforehand. At that time, it was clear that it was private property for me. The title deed also contains my name."

"Bastard stuff!" Lou Jianyu slapped it on the table. "The Lou family has been in Jinju for several generations. Is it possible that the things that have been purchased a few years ago are left?"

"At the time of Chunde's three years, Da Zi invaded Jinzhou, the grain and grass escorted by the middle of Beijing was cut off, and my grandfather sold the ancestral goods for Jinzhou sergeants to eat," Lou Jing still said with a spring-like smile. In a gentle and pleasant tone, "If you don't believe me, you can go to Jinju to find out. Even the people who sell vegetables there know."

"You..." Lou Jianyu jumped up with anger, "That is obviously the Lou family's ancestral property, now it is your father and me, you rebellious son, how dare you say that your ancestral property is your private property!" After speaking, he raised his hand. Fan to Lou Jing's face.
