Chapter 153 3 Brother should get bald sooner
The Duke of Zhenguo naturally did not believe such a bizarre thing. Privately, he was reluctant to give up this good marriage with Zhou Shao.
The two brothers had no choice but to let the Duke of Zhenguo see what was written on the paper, and then waited for the news of the flood in Fengzhou to break out.
Among them, Shi Mingzhen had another idea.
He took care of the general affairs of the mansion and knew the income and expenditure of the Duke's Mansion better than his other brothers.
It is true that the Duke's Mansion is wealthy, but there are so many people in the mansion that when the wealth is distributed among them, it is nothing.
When the family property was divided later, the eldest son's family took the largest share, and the rest was divided equally between the second and third sons.
If we divide it among their brothers and then among their children and grandchildren, the amount will be even less.
As for his son, let alone maintaining the current wealth, he may not even get one tenth or one twelfth of it.
Look at the lives that the several families that were once separated from the Duke's Mansion are leading now. The women in the family have to pay them respects and curry favor with them every month, and some even come to ask for money. He shudders to think that his children and grandchildren will have to live such a life in the future.
Therefore, Shi Mingzhen came up with the idea of Fengzhou flooding.
It is a good thing that you can make money from a business deal and accumulate merit at the same time.
However, the imperial court had issued an express decree prohibiting officials and their families from engaging in business, so he had to find a reliable person to do it.
Or he could invest some money in the Xie family and ask them to come forward - but if he did so, he had other concerns.
After all, they will be relatives with the Xie family in the future. It would not be good to let the Xie family know that the Duke's Mansion is short of money. It would be embarrassing when they meet.
Xie Qingdai had scolded Zhuzhu in her nightmare, and he didn't want to have any close ties with the Xie family.
It's a pity that the Xie family has done favors for the Duke's Mansion, otherwise he would have found a way to ruin this marriage.
?
Shi Mingzhen was thinking about "doing good deeds", and Shi Yao was also thinking about doing good deeds.
Early in the morning, she asked Aunt Liu Hua to go out of the house to donate money for incense. Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu Hua came back in less than an hour.
"The steward of the outer courtyard said that the situation in the mansion has been tense recently, and the young masters, including the third master, have all been confined to reflect on their mistakes. They confiscated my badge and refused to let me leave the mansion.
I said that it was because the situation in the mansion was tense that I should do more good deeds and build a good reputation. They said that they were afraid that I would spread the news in the mansion. Such slander made me very angry, but I couldn't do anything about it. "
Aunt Liu Hua was embarrassed to say this, but she also wanted to persuade Shi Yao to give up the idea of donating. It would be better to keep the money for a girl as a dowry.
The money Shi Yao donated was enough.
Shi Yao asked: "Who is in charge?"
Aunt Liu Hua replied, "It's Steward Fei who's in charge of the gate. Miss, don't go and make trouble, that's the outer courtyard!"
"Don't worry, aunt. It's fine if I make trouble with my second sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, and my brothers, but I won't go to the outer courtyard to fight with a man from outside the courtyard." Shi Yao called Xing Mi and Ren Dong, "Manager Fei, which of my brothers are you close to?"
Aunt Liu Hua was speechless and looked up at the sky. Which master was she going to cause trouble for?
Xing Mi and Ren Dong looked at each other. Ren Dong coughed and said cautiously, "The stewards of the outer courtyard are naturally the closest to the Third Master."
Shi Yao suddenly realized and slapped her forehead: "I have such a stupid brain that I actually forgot about my third brother! That's right, apart from him, no one else would gossip with the outer courtyard manager. He even pointed fingers at me this morning."
The maids and aunts: "..."
The Third Master said one sentence to the Yin-Yang girl, but the girl, using the old lady's mouth, retorted with more than one sentence, even borrowing words like "unfilial descendants", and attacked her in a group.
Everyone was worried that Shi Yao was going to smash Shaohua Garden, but Shi Yao waved her hand magnanimously and said, "Forget it, Third Brother has been running errands in the wind and rain, and it's really hard work, so I'll let him go.
During this period, the masters and brothers all had to reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors, and he was the only one who escaped. In other words, he is the only one who has to run errands for everyone. I am afraid that his work will become even more difficult. Let him go, let him go."
She thought that Shi Mingzhen, Shi Mingkui and Shi Mingzhu had a secret conversation two days ago, and she was afraid that Shi Mingzhu might suspect her and instruct Shi Mingzhen to investigate her and her mother to find out the foolish things she had said when she was young.
Shi Mingzhu has the aura of a heroine, so maybe we can guess something.
Even if she couldn't guess anything, they were enemies, and she would destroy whatever the enemy did, without any mistake.
Forget it. I’ll give the next rebirth card to my third sister-in-law.
Shi Mingzhen is the extended eyes, hands and legs of Shi Mingzhu. His thick black hair is so enviable. It would be better for him to go bald sooner.
Shi Yao pondered that according to the original plot, Shi Mingzhu should use the auspicious events in Guanzhou and the flood in Fengzhou to gain the trust of his family, and then the whole family would unite to strangle "Shi Yao".
However, the sisters-in-law have also been reborn. I wonder if Shi Mingzhu will still talk about the "prophetic dream".
Probably so?
After all, Shi Mingzhu loves her family and brothers so much. How could she watch her sisters-in-law be reborn and bring disaster to the whole family and her beloved brothers?
Banxia ran over and took out a target mirror and placed it in front of Shi Yao.
Shi Yao came back to her senses and looked in the mirror, only to see a beautiful girl as pretty as a flower and the moon, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Banxia said with a smile: "Girl, look at yourself, with a wicked smile on your face, do you look like you are going to let the Third Master go?"
Shi Yao: “…”
Aunt Liu Hua, Mu Xiang and others all covered their mouths and laughed.
Shi Yao gently pinched the collagen on Banxia's face: "Well, you bad girl, you dare to tease a girl!"
After playing and joking with the maids, at noon, after lunch, when they were about to take a break, Muxiang whispered quietly:
"Miss, Lian Qiao just said that the Third Master, the Fourth Master, and the Fifth Master came to look for the eldest lady. They waited for a long time, and when they came, they immediately kicked them out. The four of them hid in the room and had a secret conversation. Miss, be careful and don't fall into the trap."
Ever since she was nearly harmed by the second master Shi Mingwei, Muxiang has had no good feelings towards the young and old men of the Shi family. She thinks everyone of them seems to be harboring bad intentions or hostility.
As a result, she is now very afraid of men, fearing that they will pounce on her like those criminals, and she has almost given up the idea of getting married.
Shi Yao was 90% certain that Shi Mingzhu must have told her the "prophet's dream".
Next, the brothers will start to deal with her.
Bald!
It just so happened that the old emperor drove them back and locked them up in the Duke's Mansion, and her life was about to become busy again.
Sisters-in-law, take action quickly!
I have to find an opportunity to tell my eldest and second sisters-in-law the news that Shi Mingzhen is reselling grain.
The eldest sister-in-law's family is powerful, and the second sister-in-law likes to make trouble. No matter whether the cat is black or white, there is always one willing to catch Shi Mingzhen, the little mouse.
And there was Ge Qiuheng, but unfortunately there was no way to pass the message to her, and she didn't dare to shamelessly visit her in the name of a "best friend" for fear of being slapped.
When will the Ge family come to cancel the engagement?
When will Xie Qingdai come to Beijing to pay her respects to the Duke's Mansion?
She couldn't wait to meet Mr. Xie and "discuss important matters" with him!
?
The sisters-in-law were not idle either.
During lunch, the sixth son Shi Mingmo had no time to reprimand his wife as he was taken with Chinese medicine again and was carried to the bed by four maids.
