Chapter 867 Moved Away

According to the rules, bills have to be settled at the end of the twelfth lunar month. Under Yurong's name, there are four shops and two houses for rent, as well as more than 2,000 acres of fertile land, so these days are very busy.

After finishing the calculation, a smile appeared on Yurong's face: "I can have a good year this year." This year's income is 20% more than last year. The main reason is that this year's grain harvest is much higher than last year's, and grain prices are higher than last year's.

Hong Yin lowered her voice and said: "Madam, I heard that my uncle's complexion has not been very good-looking these days. Is it because the income of the mansion is not good this year?"

Yurong snorted coldly, but didn't say much: "Don't worry about her." Before falling out with Lu Yao, the chickens, ducks and fishes sent by Yurong Zhuangzi were all eaten by everyone. Nephews and nieces buy paper, pens, rouge, etc. But since Lu Yao plotted against her, Yurong has become an iron cock, never pulling out a hair.

Hongyin still had something to say, but was stopped by Honghua: "Madam, the clothes for Master Zheng are ready. When Master Huizheng comes back, let him have a try. If there is something that doesn't fit, you can change it." Hong Hua's needlework is very good. On weekdays, masters and servants sit together and do needlework when they have nothing to do.

Yu Rong smiled and nodded: "Okay."

In the evening, Yizheng came back, but his face was very ugly, and his cloud was so dark that water could drip out.

Yu Rong was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Zheng'er, what's wrong with you? Did someone bully you?"

Yizheng took off the azurite squirrel fur cloak on his body, and said coldly: "Mother, don't worry, it's fine."

Just looking at Yizheng's face, it's impossible to be okay. Yu Rong said anxiously: "You child, do you want to worry about the dead mother? What happened?"

Seeing the situation, Yizheng had no choice but to say: "Mother, it's really nothing, but on the way back just now, I heard two women say something unpleasant, and I kicked them both in a fit of anger."

With Yurong's understanding of her son, if it wasn't too much, she wouldn't have made her son so furious. Yurong asked: "What did you say?"

Yizheng snorted coldly: "Mother, don't ask, it's not a good thing anyway." He couldn't say such dirty words.

Seeing this, Yurong had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being. But turning around, she asked Yizheng's personal servant.

After listening to the boy's words, Yu Rong's face turned pale. It's okay to say that she lives and eats for nothing in the Han Mansion, but she actually said that she and Mr. Gao are ambiguous, what's more disgusting than this! No wonder the Israeli government is so angry.

Yizheng came out after changing clothes, and seeing Yurong's face was ugly, he immediately guessed that she already knew about it. Yizheng said: "Mom, I don't want to live here anymore. They will arrange you and Grandpa Gao at random, and I don't know what ridiculous gossip will come out in the future."

Yu Rong nodded and said, "Okay, we'll move out after the New Year's Eve." There are still about ten days before the New Year's Eve, and moving out at this time will not look good on everyone's face.

Yizheng nodded.

Yurong waited for Yizheng to return to her room, and then said to Honghua: "Go and see if Uncle is back? If he is, come and report to me."

After a while, Hong Hua came back and said, "Ma'am, my uncle just came back, this club is on its way to the main courtyard."

Yurong put on a fox fur cloak and went to the main courtyard. As soon as she saw Lu Yao, Yu Rong said in a cold voice: "If you can't tolerate our mothers, just tell me, I'm not shameless and insist on staying at my mother's house, why use such low-handed methods."

Seeing this, Han Jiancheng felt a little headache, and asked, "It's the New Year's Eve, what's the matter?" Stingy or something. The more you listen, the more you will naturally be affected.

What's the matter? Hearing this, Yu Rong's heart turned cold: "When Yizheng came back, I heard two women say that I don't know Mr. Gao well,

Yizheng was so angry that he wanted to punish them. As a result, the two women said that Yizheng was just a young cousin living in Han's house for free, and he was not their master, so he was not qualified to punish him. In a fit of anger, Yizheng kicked the two women a few times. "Because it's not very peaceful outside, Yizheng has two personal attendants besides a young servant. Of course, this is what the public said. In fact, those two attendants are Lianjiazi, Yizheng's bodyguards.

Speaking of this, Yurong burst into tears: "Mr. Gao is my father-in-law's aide, because he misses his father-in-law's kindness and has been teaching Yizheng. Don't say that Mr. Gao's age is more than enough to be my father, only that since he moved out of Jiangxi The family has never met Mr. Gao, and I don't know who is the black-hearted thing spreading such dirty rumors."

It was the fault of the mistress of the house that such an evil slave appeared. Han Jiancheng looked at Lu Yao with an ugly expression and asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Yao felt a little annoyed, this black-hearted thing is not shadowing her! Lu Yao said with an innocent face: "Master, I also just heard that Heng's mother and the others were beaten to vomit blood and passed out. I just wanted to ask what happened, and the master came back."

Yurong sneered and said, "Yizheng is only eleven years old this year, and he vomits blood and passes out after kicking a few times. Are they just paper?"

Lu Yao was very angry, but she couldn't argue with Yu Rong in front of Han Jiancheng, otherwise it would be her fault. Lu Yao said with guilt on her face: "I know my sister is angry, and it's because of my bad discipline. Don't worry, sister, I will definitely punish these two bad-mouthed women."

Yurong sneered, and said: "There's no need to act anymore, I've already asked the maids around me, and they said that this terrible rumor has been circulating in the mansion for a while. It's just that I'm afraid that I'll be sad and dare not tell it." Me, brother and sister, I know you are impatient with our mother and I living in the mansion. Don't worry, I will move out after the new year, and I won't hinder your eyes anymore. "

Lu Yao's face turned blue and white.

Han Jiancheng frowned and said, "Sister, no one is going to drive you away, so don't think too much about it."

Although Yurong was full of anger, she didn't want to make the relationship too tense: "I don't know Mr. Gao about the rumors this time. Who knows next time I will have an affair with a cat or a dog. Ah Cheng, Yuan Xiang It's smelly, I don't want my siblings to become enemies in the future. So don't try to persuade me anymore, I will take Yizheng and move out after the Lantern Festival." After speaking, Yurong took the maid and walked out.

Han Jiancheng asked Lu Yao with a livid face, "Tell me, what's going on?" If it was just a conflict between his aunt and sister-in-law, he must have gotten along with each other. But now that her sister's innocence is at stake, that's not a small problem.

Lu Yao said with red eyes: "My lord, I don't know what's going on." She knew that the servants criticized Yurong for living and living in the Han Mansion for free, but she really didn't know about the arrangement of Yurong and Mr. Gao. . No matter how stupid she is, she can't let such a thing go.

The couple quickly found out that it was Lu Yao's dowry woman who spread the rumor that Yurong and Mr. Gao were unclear. And that woman was instructed by Mrs. Lu.

Knowing that it was Mrs. Lu who wanted to ruin Yurong's reputation, Han Jiancheng trembled with anger, and looked at Lu Yao in the wrong way: "No one from Lu's family is allowed to visit from now on, and you are not allowed to bring children to Lu's house anymore. Otherwise, don't enter the Han family's door again." He was afraid that the Lu family would spoil all the children.

For Lu Yao, it was worse than eating Coptis chinensis.

That night, Han Jiancheng took Lu Yao to apologize to Yurong. Yurong accepted the husband and wife's apology, but insisted on moving away. Yurong said: "Ah Cheng, I still say the same thing, far away smells near near stink. After we separated, there are not so many things to do." Before living in the Han Mansion, she and Lu Yao got along very well.

Seeing that Yurong was determined to move out this time, Han Jiancheng felt guilty and sad.

After the Lantern Festival, Yu Rong moved out of the Han Mansion and moved into Mijing Hutong. This house is only occupied by people in the first courtyard, and the two rear courtyards are empty, which are specially reserved for Yurong. The courtyard of the Han Mansion was narrow before, so Yizheng and Yurong lived in the same courtyard. But Yizheng is already eleven years old, and he should have a DúLì courtyard long ago. This time, he lived in the second courtyard.

Han Jiancheng personally sent Yurong to Mijing Hutong, and Mr. Gao came to welcome him with his wife, son and daughter-in-law.

Mr. Gao received Han Jiancheng, while his wife and daughter-in-law welcomed Yurong to the backyard.

Looking at Mr. Gao, whose hair and beard were all white, Han Jiancheng felt ashamed thinking about the infection in the mansion. Old lady Lu is really deluded by lard. It is really hateful that she spread such vicious rumors about Yurong's property. It was also because of this incident that Han Jiancheng completely rejected the Lu family.

Mr. Gao's daughter-in-law, Rong Shi, handed over the account book of the mansion to Yurong that afternoon: "Madam, this is the account book of the mansion, please look it over." Not a servant who signed the contract. However, Mrs. Rong has always been a husband and wife, and Mr. Gao said that she would repay Jiang Wenrui's kindness and follow the Buddha to govern, so she didn't say anything else.

Yu Rong accepted the account book after a few words of politeness. This is her home, so naturally she should be the master of the house. However, she will not treat Mr. Gao's family badly.

On the third day after moving into Mijing Hutong, Yizheng told Yurong one thing: "Mother, Mr. Gao asked me to tell you that the situation is getting worse and worse. It's best to sell the property shop and exchange it for gold and silver."

Yurong frowned, and said, "Go and invite Mr. Gao over here, and I'll talk to him in person." The two shopfronts in her hands are in good locations, and the land is also high-quality land, so they are sold like this She really couldn't bear it.

Soon, Mr. Gao followed Yizheng over.

Yurong asked: "Mr. Gao, you said the situation is getting worse? How do you say that?"

Mr. Gao said: "The south has already fallen into King Ming's hands, and he will lead troops into the capital in at most three years. Ma'am, you and Concubine Han are sisters of the same father, and this alone makes it inappropriate to stay in the capital." Staying in the capital, it is difficult for orphans and widows to keep such a large amount of money.

Yurong was silent for a while and said: "Uncle is now the chief minister of Fujian, no matter how Yizheng is his nephew, he will not ignore our mother and son." There is also Jiang Hongfu as a backer.

Mr. Gao explained: "Madam, every time the dynasty changes, the land will be taken over by the government. When the capital falls into the hands of King Ming, all the fields on the outskirts of Beijing will also belong to the public." Therefore, the change of dynasty is also a redistribution of power and wealth.

After a pause, Mr. Gao said: "Madam, if you are reluctant, you can leave three to five hundred acres." The more you keep, the more dangerous it is. During the war, gold and silver were the most reliable.

In fact, Yurong was able to keep her dowry because she had a concubine who was rightly favored. Otherwise, if a widow holds such a large amount of money in her hands, someone else would have done it long ago, how could Yu Rong live such a comfortable life.

Yurong's face was a bit ugly, she thought for a while and said, "What about the house? Will our house be confiscated in the future?"

Mr. Gao shook his head and said: "The Northwest Army has strict military discipline and will not seize the houses of ordinary people, but it is hard to say about the two good shops." Mr. Gao is very clear about Yurong's dowry.

It's all for money, so I'm really reluctant to sell Yurong like this.

Mr. Gao also knows that it is difficult to make this decision: "If my wife is reluctant, she can sell half and keep the other half."

Yurong was very conflicted, she was reluctant to sell these properties, but also worried that these properties would be confiscated after the change of dynasty. After a while, she asked her son standing next to her, "Yizheng, what do you think should be done?"

Yizheng thought for a while and said, "Mother, it's safer to replace them all with gold and silver. When the world settles down in the future, we will buy property again."

Yurong is also a very decisive person. After hearing Yizheng's words, she decided to leave a Zhuangzi occupying 800 mu of land and plan to sell the rest of the property. The output of these 800 mu of fields can be used by the people in the government, so there is no need to spend extra money to buy them.

Because food is always in short supply, and the price of food is getting higher every year, so the market is doing well to buy and sell land. So as soon as Mr. Gao released the news that he was going to sell the property, someone came to ask about the price. Except for Zhuangzi, which was kept for his own use, all other properties were sold before the first month came out, but the two shops and the house were not easy to sell.

Yurong sold most of the land under her name, which was not a small matter, and Lu Yao soon found out.

That night, Lu Yao said to Han Jiancheng: "Did my sister be coaxed by someone? Such a good property, with a lot of income every year, how can I sell it?" It is almost said that Yurong was deceived by Mr. Gao .

Yurong's property is doing well every year. Although it is not hers, Lu Yao feels distressed to hear that it has been sold.

Han Jiancheng frowned and said, "I'll go to Sanjing Hutong tomorrow." Han Jiancheng didn't doubt Mr. Gao, he felt that this was a bit abnormal and felt uneasy.

Regarding Han Jiancheng, Yurong didn't hide anything, and repeated what Mr. Gao told her: "Ah Cheng, Mr. Gao has been with my father-in-law for so many years, and he knows more than me. Besides, I am a woman holding a It's really not safe to own so much property." The gold and silver obtained from selling the land had been hidden in a place known only to her and Brother Zheng.

Han Jiancheng often travels outside and knows more than Yurong. At the beginning, I bought the small house next to the Han Mansion to store food for the upcoming war.

After hearing these words, Han Jiancheng didn't say much: "If you have anything to do, ask someone to tell me." Mijing Hutong is actually not far from where Han Jiancheng lives, only a quarter of an hour away.

Yurong nodded. (to be continued)
