Shi Jiang, the old lady, and everyone in the Shi family widened their eyes and asked in disbelief.
"The messenger who brings the good news is at the door. Old lady, please take the young master to receive the good news!"
The concierge thought that the masters were in such a surprise that they looked like this, so he said anxiously.
There was a crisp "click" sound, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw Mrs. Yao with her mouth wide open. She was originally holding a teacup in her hand and wanted to feed the old lady some tea. But now after hearing the news, the teacup in her hand fell to the ground.
Yao's bowl fell to the ground, which woke everyone up.
Not caring about anything else, the old lady supported Shi Xulin and hurried towards the door.
The Shi family has not had a successful candidate for several generations. If they continue to work hard and pass the Jinshi examination, as long as someone from the Shi family can become an official, then the girls in the family will be able to marry into official families.
Are you still worried that your family will not prosper by then?
At this moment, the old lady was so preoccupied with excitement that she completely forgot how they treated Shi Heng and his brother and sister just now.
Shi Jiang also opened his mouth wide at this moment, with a look of disbelief on his face.
After all, Shi Heng was originally admitted to the Juren Examination, but it was only a few years later!
Why is it so early now?
It turned out that a few years later, at the age of nineteen, Shi Heng passed the imperial examination, and three years later he passed the Jinshi examination, and then he was awarded the title of "Thanhuahua".
But now, Shi Heng is only sixteen years old, and he is just a green young man. I wonder if the emperor will still see his handsome face and give him the title of "the most beautiful young man"?
Shi Jiang couldn't help but lose his mind for a moment, and then secretly glanced at Shi Heng.
But he looked calm, as if he had known for a long time that he would win.
Before Shi Jiang could figure it out, he saw the old lady and Shi Xulin walking in from the door together with the rosy-faced elders of the Shi family.
When they saw Shi Heng, the elders of the Shi family came forward excitedly.
"Heng'er has indeed lived up to our expectations. From now on, the Shi family will all depend on you."
Shi Xulin, who was originally very excited, suddenly felt his heart sink when he heard the clan elder's words.
Sure enough, Shi Heng did not let him down.
He bowed directly to the clan elders, straightened up, and told the clan elders that he wanted to get his mother's dowry back so that his grandmother and father would not be tired.
The clan elders agreed without saying a word.
Pan's dowry was supposed to be given to his son and daughter. Mrs. Shi and Shi Xulin had been occupying it all these years, and they didn't know it.
However, although Shi Heng persuaded them to study before, it was just a scholar's reputation!
There was no need for them to offend Mrs. Shi and Shi Xulin for a mere scholar. After all, they were both members of the Shi family, and they could not see each other even if they looked up and looked down.
But things were different now. Shi Heng not only passed the examination, but was also the first person to be convicted.
What does this mean?
The next step is to take the imperial examination, which is just a matter of chance!
But, I don’t know what good ranking I can get.
It was clear that Shi Heng was at least a Jinshi, and they clan elders could not get half of the benefits of Pan's dowry. Now that Shi Heng had spoken, how could they refuse!
Therefore, they agreed very happily.
But this happiness is based on Mrs. Shi and Shi Xulin, how could they agree?
However, this dowry belongs to the Pan family, and they have no legitimate reason to continue to occupy it.
In the past, filial piety could be used to suppress Shi Heng, but now Shi Heng is only sixteen years old, has passed the exam, and is still the head of the case.
They have a bright future in the future, and even if they want to use filial piety to suppress them, the clan elders will definitely not agree.
The old lady and Shi Xulin were feeling aggrieved, but there was nothing they could do.
No matter how unwilling she was, the elders of the clan were pressuring her, so she had no choice but to take out Pan's dowry.
Shi Heng asked the servant to take out his mother's dowry list and go over it one by one.
Most of the porcelain and jade items are found in the old ladies’ rooms.
Most of the antique calligraphy and paintings are in Shixulin's study.
The old lady and Aunt Tao each had half of the jewelry, and some of them were actually in Yao's hands.
Not to mention those shops and shops, the deeds of several shops and shops have been changed to the names of the old lady and Aunt Tao.
When the clan elders saw it, they also felt that Mrs. Shi and Shi Xulin were really careless.
You said that if you get the dowry of your former daughter-in-law, it will be in the name of Shi's family, but if it is changed to the name of Aunt Tao, it is just a concubine. What's the matter?
By the time everything was calculated, most of the day had passed.
The old lady and Shi Xulin both had pale faces. Their rooms seemed to have been ransacked, and all the good things had been moved away.
Even so, several items of Pan's dowry could not be found.
Shi Xulin couldn't tell, but Shi Heng lowered his eyes, knowing very well.
Aunt Tao took those things and sold them privately, and the money from the sale was given to her natal brothers to give away.
Unfortunately, the person who gave those things was his teacher.
The teacher once mentioned to him in private that Liu Kunpeng was good at dancing and was not someone to be trifled with.
He took money and things and bribed many people.
Although he could not enter Qingsong Academy, he could enter other academies.
I believe that in a few years, Liu Kunpeng will be able to behave like a human being.
The reason why Liu Kunpeng was able to bribe others with money and things was because Aunt Tao stole them from his mother's dowry.
Without this money, he would like to see if Liu Kunpeng can still be a good person?
Aunt Tao couldn't help crying when Shi Heng moved all the things away.
When I think of her brother who was waiting for her money to help him a few days ago, now he has nothing.
How can you not burst into tears?
But, this is still just the beginning!
Shi Heng added up the lost items and placed the calculated account book in front of the clan elders.
The clan elders looked down and saw that Shi Heng had not only calculated the prices of all the lost things.
He also folded the money earned by the shop and the profit from the village into silver and calculated them together.
In this way, the six years of money plus the compensation for the lost items turned into a large amount of money.
Once the money comes out, the old lady and Shi Xulin will probably have to eat pickled vegetables.
Moreover, Shi Heng calculated very ruthlessly, and the money he calculated was just what the Shi family could afford now.
It means that everyone in the Shi family has been working for Shi Heng these years, and they are still unpaid.
After the elders told the amount of this large sum of money, the old lady rolled her eyes and fainted.
However, the old lady had pretended to be fainted too many times before. Not to mention Yao and the others, even Shi Xulin didn't pay much attention to it.
When the servants were supporting the old lady, they realized something was wrong and shouted loudly.
