Yu Xijiao picked it up and had actually seen it before, but at that time it was some objects. What she was looking at now was the last few lines of small characters, which were the shop she married to, Zhuangzi.
Not any of the above.
In other words, this Zhuangzi may really belong to the Qian family, or was it purchased by the Qian family later with money from the house?
Yu Xijiao guessed that the latter one was more likely. In order to let the world see her sincerity and to win the trust of her father and mother, Mrs. Qian could give thirty-six tons of dowry. How could she buy a big one if she was so humble?
Zhuangzi gave money to Qian as a dowry.
That was the property Qian bought with the public money.
Her father had never been in charge of things, and when the property was settled, it was put in the name of the Qian family. The Qian family said it was hers. At that time, she was the only one in the backyard of the Xuanping Hou Mansion. She could say whatever she wanted.
"Girl, is there anything on the dowry list?" Seeing her silence, Grandma Xu couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's not my mother's." Yu Xijiao shook her head.
"Girl, is it really Mrs. Qian's?" Nanny Xu said to herself, and then suddenly said, "Girl, what are you looking for that Zhuangzi for?"
My girl's attitude was particularly strange today. After she came back, she asked about Qian's dowry, talked about Zhuangzi again, and now she is also checking Madam's dowry list.
"Yu Yuxi went to Zhuangzi in Xuanpinghou Mansion and heard that it was Qian's dowry." Yu Xijiao said.
"How...why does she have the nerve to come back?" Nanny Xu was stunned for a moment and was shocked.
Such a big thing happened, Qian died at the hands of her own daughter, how shameless Yu Yuxi was, and she dared to come back again and again.
"I think it's impossible for our house to really tell the truth about the matter." Yu Xijiao said coldly.
"How...how can this be more...shameless than Mrs. Qian!" Nanny Xu stamped her foot.
The corner of Yu Xijiao's lips curled up slightly. If she hadn't been more powerful than Qian, Qian wouldn't have died in Yu Yuxi's hands.
In order to marry into Prince Duan's palace, Yu Yuxi was really willing to give up anything!
"Didn't the Marquis ask the second girl to return to Prince Duan's Mansion?" Aunt Xu frowned. Now it seems that this matter has fallen on his own girl again.
"Prince Duan accompanied her to Zhuangzi. Even if her father doesn't care about Yu Yuxi's face, he still has to care about Prince Duan's. She just stayed here temporarily and couldn't catch up." Yu Xijiao smiled lightly, her eyes cold.
That day Yu Yuxi came to visit, looking seriously ill. If he wanted to do this, he had to do it early. Calculating the time, he should go to Zhuangzi at that time. It was too late for his father to get the news now. Yu Yuxi had already lived there for a while.
It is impossible to drive her out now.
"Mother Xu, go check out that village, find out when it was purchased, and then ask if Prince Duan will come and live there too," Yu Xijiao ordered.
"I understand, I will go and find out now." Nanny Xu nodded and was about to leave. She looked at Yu Xijiao and said uneasily: "Girl, do you want to ask the doctor to see the medical skills of the imperial physician again?"
It's clever, but... it may not be done with all your heart."
This is because I am worried that someone is tampering with it.
"Don't worry, Nanny Xu, this is an accident, no one expected it." Yu Xijiao smiled and shook her head.
Seeing Yu Xijiao's attitude, Nanny Xu had no choice but to retreat.
"Girl, I will go to Mrs. Zhou's office to check the accounts. There is no record of purchasing Zhuangzi." Qingyue thought for a while and said.
If it weren't for the Qian family's dowry, and if it wasn't for the Qian family entering the Xuanping Marquis Mansion with the Qian family, this would be really possible.
"Okay!" Yu Xijiao nodded.
Qingyue checked quickly, and soon came back from Mrs. Zhou's place, and reported the found information to Yu Xijiao. After listening to Qingyue's words, Yu Xijiao looked thoughtful.
"No purchase record?" Yu Xijiao looked strange.
"No, Mrs. Zhou checked the records of Zhuangzi purchased over the years. There is no record of the shop. At the same time, there is no such large purchase amount." Qingyue shook her head, very confused, "Girl, there is such a thing as Zhuangzi.
, since it is a purchase, how come there is no financial transaction, and it should be a large amount."
Qian was very good at Yu Zhuqing's shop, but she didn't care about the accounting books in the mansion. This was not because Qian was honest, but because she felt that the entire Xuanping Marquis Mansion was under her control.
, all of these belong to her, and the most she can do is touch Xie’s dowry.
She quietly transferred Xie's dowry to her daughter's dowry.
When Yu Yuxi was young, Qian was already preparing a dowry for Yu Yuxi, and gradually put Xie's dowry into her daughter's hands.
From Qian's point of view, what would happen if Yu Xijiao came back? Her father didn't love her, her mother didn't love her, her grandmother was unruly, and her only brother was not close to her, so what would happen no matter how good she danced?
Besides, his daughter married a prince, and he dominated the prince's mansion...
For all these reasons, Qian did not touch the government's account books, and Zhou's management of affairs became much smoother.
"Have you checked Zhuangzi's income?" Yu Xijiao suddenly asked.
"My servant has checked and found that there is income from Zhuangzi, which is some ordinary fruits and melons. They are not rare. The income has been there for a long time, but no one can tell exactly when they started to be sent to the house.
The earliest account books have long been gone, and they didn’t exist when Mrs. Zhou took over.”
Qingyue said.
"The account books in the mansion are gone, or is it Mrs. Zhou's?" Yu Xijiao thought for a moment.
"Mrs. Zhou doesn't have one at her place. According to the housekeeper in the mansion, there is no account book like this for delivering melons and fruits. It's basically done every few years. They are all unimportant account books, like this one."
This kind of account book records general running water, Mrs. Qian sorts it out almost every year, and disposes of it if it has not been checked for a few years."
Qingyue reported based on the information she just learned.
Yu Xijiao knew about this. At the beginning, she helped Mrs. Zhou check the account books. Except for the particularly important account books, which contained records of purchases and sales of shops, Zhuangzi, and large sums of money expenditures, the rest of the ordinary account books were indeed early
Those that are written off are written off, and those that are kept for ten years are rarely used. Basically, they are destroyed every five years.
It is impossible for the government to keep some useless running accounts all the time.
Obviously, there is no trace of when Zhuangzi purchased it.
"How many Zhuangzis like this are there under Mrs. Qian's name?" Yu Xijiao's eyes flashed with deep thought.
"There are three Zhuangzi and two shops." Qingyue answered quickly this time. This was something everyone in the government knew. After a little inquiry, she found out, "The Zhuangzi are all outside the city, and the shops are in the capital."
Yu Xijiao really didn't expect that the Qian family had so many things in their name. Considering the thirty-eight-year-old dowry that the Qian family brought into the house at that time, there was no way that there were such things in it. The Qian family's profile at that time was so low, even if they knew that outsiders
I don’t know, and it’s impossible to slap my mother in the face with so many shops and shops.
So, these were all acquired later?
Where did the Qian family come from with so much money? From what I heard, it was unexpected that these shops were acquired by Zhuangzi for a long time. There could be another reason for this.
Yu Xijiao was originally just checking up on Yu Yuxi's affairs, but now she couldn't help but become curious about these villages and shops. She was surprised that the property in Qian's name was so rich.
It seems that I still need to check the ledger carefully.
"Girl, do you want me to go check it out?" Mingyue couldn't help but ask.
Yu Xijiao waved her hand: "No, I will go to the warehouse to check the old account books tomorrow. I can't tell if there are any clues."
The passing wind leaves traces, the passing geese leave a sound, these Qian's shops, Zhuangzi inexplicably gave her a feeling of unknown origin...
When night fell, Yu Xijiao's feet had been reapplied with medicine, and the maids retired and put out the lights for her.
The house became quiet, and the whole courtyard also became quiet. The lanterns were extinguished one by one, the courtyard door was locked, and in the end there was only one hanging on the corridor...
Yu Xijiao suddenly woke up from her dream. In fact, she didn't wake up from a dream. She seemed to be asleep and not asleep. Everything in the dream was in front of her eyes. It was a dream that made her
Unacceptable dreams. Ever since she was reborn, she would occasionally see dreams from her previous life in her dreams.
But this time it was almost a real repetition of the dream.
In the dream, Yu Lanyan carried the big red sedan chair to the Xinkangbo Mansion, and she and Chu Zihan paid homage to the wedding hall in a lively manner. She was lying covered in blood in the backyard of the Xinkangbo Mansion, miserable and desperate.
He died, his mother died, his brother died, and everyone in his family died.
She should have died, but she didn't seem to be dead. She saw her younger brother's death, she saw Yu Zhuqing's death outside the city gate, she saw Ning's mother and daughter's publicity, and she saw Yu Zhongyang's family happily occupying the city.
Everything happened in Yuanhou Mansion not long after his death.
With so many things happening, nothing happened to Yu Zhongyang's family. Yu Zhongyang became the new Marquis of Zhengyuan, not long after his family died.
No one made any trouble, nor did they wait much time. Under the red plaque of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, Yu Zhongyang smiled proudly. In the harem, Yu Lanxue won the respect of Concubine Ning, and was protected by Concubine Ning and became pregnant. She was beaming with joy, without any twists and turns.
Even if Yu Lanyan gave birth to an heir early, no one would say anything.
As if everything was taken for granted.
No one made it difficult to conquer the Marquis Mansion, no one thought there was something wrong with Yu Zhongyang, and no one thought that Yu Zhongyang had something to do with the death of Dafang's family...
Covering the sky with one hand can already be said to be covering the sky with one hand.
In the darkness, Yu Xijiao opened her eyes and stared blankly at the gauze above her head. Her eyes were filled with blood. She had not yet woken up from her dream. Her hands were clasped tightly in front of her chest, her palms were wet, and she was breathing heavily.
It was especially obvious in the dark, with cold sweat on my forehead.
This is what she saw in her dream, and it has been verified now, so her guess should be true.
The death of his father was not only related to Yu Zhongyang. Yu Zhongyang was not that capable and could not do this. In the end, he was able to successfully inherit the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, and no one even dared to object. What does this mean?
The blood in his eyes condensed into a thick color.
This is what the emperor means, this is what the emperor means!
In the darkness, a low sound suddenly came out, and then the light cut through the thick darkness and blood...
