Liu Kunpeng didn't know that there was something wrong with his sister's money. A few days ago, he met a retainer of the governor's family through a friend.
As long as the sister's money is in place, the retainer will be willing to recommend him to the governor.
As long as he catches the eye of the governor and gains his favor, he will not have the final say here.
Liu Kunpeng was very unhappy that the Shi family only gave his sister a concubine status. Although his sister was so good-looking, it was really wronging her to be Shi Xulin's concubine.
However, fortunately, the Shi family is still very relaxed about their sister.
Every time he asked for money, he basically got what he asked for.
This time, as long as he can stand on his own feet, the first thing to do is to let Shi Xulin straighten his sister.
Liu Kunpeng couldn't help but laugh when he thought of the day when his sister was straightened up, as if his career was right in front of him.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Aunt Tao came to the door crying.
"Brother, it's my sister's fault. That money was taken away by that little brat Shi Heng."
Thinking of the quarrel she had with Shi Xulin last night, Aunt Tao felt her heart was broken.
As soon as Shi Heng gained power, Shi Xulin's butt became crooked.
If Shi Heng is admitted to Jinshi in the future and becomes an official in the court, will there still be a place for her to gain a foothold in the government?
"What?"
Liu Kunpeng was very happy when he learned that his sister had come to see him, thinking that Aunt Tao was here to give him money.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Aunt Tao would cry and say this, and Liu Kunpeng's face immediately darkened.
You know, he had promised the customer before that he would be satisfied.
Now that the money was gone, he seemed to see the glory and wealth right in front of him, and it was all shattered to pieces.
"Well, Shi Heng. Grandpa usually doesn't give him any trouble. When he arrives, he will put on some shoes for the labor and management."
Liu Kunpeng ran around the room angrily, trying to think of a solution. Without money, it would be difficult to move forward.
For the current plan, even if the pot is sold, the money must be obtained, and the customer must be stabilized first.
"Sister, is there no other way? This opportunity is rare. If you don't seize it well, the next time will be a long time."
Aunt Tao's face also turned a little dark, and she also wanted to find a way!
However, in order to repay the dowry money for Shi Heng's mother, everyone in the Shi family tightened their belts.
On the dressing table in her room, Pan's head and face had long been plundered.
Even if she wants to sell the jewelry to get some money back, she must have jewelry!
Originally, Aunt Tao kept Pan's gold heads and noodles at her place and was not willing to spend any money to make them.
After all, she is a concubine, and Aunt Tao will not be allowed to appear at some big banquets and the like.
Therefore, the dozen or so sets of headscarves that Pan left behind were enough for her to wear the same one every day in her house every week.
Now that Shi Heng has taken back Pan's dowry, her jewelry box is suddenly empty.
"How about selling this house first?"
Aunt Tao hesitated for a long time. She really had no choice but to speak carefully to Liu Kunpeng.
This three-bedroom house cost her several thousand taels of silver.
If you are in a hurry to sell it, you will definitely have to get it cheaper.
Hearing Aunt Tao's words, Liu Kunpeng was so angry that he almost suffered from brain congestion.
Not to mention that he asked Aunt Tao to prepare 10,000 silver notes before, but now there is not even half a cent of silver in cash. Even if he sells this house for the best price, he will only get 5,000 silver at most.
But even if we sell this house, the key point is that the money is not enough!
Moreover, the house is equivalent to one's face. If he entertains friends in the future, if they find out that his pocket is brighter than his face, who will be willing to be friends with him?
Liu Kunpeng, who was extremely angry, turned all his anger on Shi Heng.
"Since he doesn't want me to feel better, then I will never let him feel better."
Liu Kunpeng was so angry that he punched the table with a bang, which scared Aunt Tao who was crying and stopped crying.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
Aunt Tao's heart beat a little faster and she swallowed her saliva and asked.
"Huh, I don't believe it. When he goes back to the academy, he will have a safe journey."
Liu Kunpeng sneered, glanced at his sister, and then made a cutting gesture on his neck.
Seeing her younger brother's action, Aunt Tao took a deep breath, but she was followed by excitement.
If something happens to Shi Heng, then only a girl like Shi Jiang will be left.
If no one comes forward to ask for Pan's dowry, what will Shi Jiang do instead of what she says?
As for the hope that the elders of the Shi family have for Shi Heng, what does it have to do with her being a woman!
After all, no matter how prosperous Shi Heng is, it's none of her business.
It would be different when her younger brother took the money and started his career. From now on, she would be solely supported by her younger brother for the rest of her life.
It only took Shi Heng three days to sort out all his mother's dowry.
Because he passed the imperial examination, he had to go to the ancestral hall with his clan elders to worship and write the matter in the family tree, so it took another two days.
When he heard that Shi Heng wanted to take Shi Jiang with him to the academy, Shi Xulin was unwilling at first, but Shi Heng didn't talk to him at all and turned around to talk to the clan elders.
Then the clan elders came to persuade Shi Xulin and told him not to look at Shi Heng in the same light as before. After all, the only one who can give the Shi family glory is Shi Heng.
After hearing the persuasion from the clan elders, Shi Xulin could only nod his head and agreed.
The old lady wanted to object, but she couldn't.
I suffered a stroke after fainting that time. Although the doctor treated me promptly, I still had sequelae.
That is, his speech is unclear, half of his body is numb, and he cannot speak a complete sentence for a long time.
If she wanted to stop Shi Heng from taking Shi Jiang away, no one would listen to her mumbling for a long time with her unclear words.
"Sister, wherever you want to go from now on, big brother will take you there."
Shi Heng hugged Shi Jiang, looked at his baby-fat sister, and said seriously.
His sister, Shi Heng, does not need to be like those young ladies who are locked up in a backyard house and spend their whole lives fighting for a man in that backyard house.
He doesn't want his sister to follow his mother's path, he just wants her to be as comfortable as possible.
Hearing what Shi Heng said, Shi Jiang was moved to tears, and for a moment he forgot the shameful feeling caused by being held by Shi Heng.
When they arrived outside the door, the servant opened the curtain of the carriage. Shi Heng carefully put his sister on the carriage, then lifted up his robe and followed her into the carriage.
"Wait to pick someone up."
Shi Heng touched his sister's little head and said to her gently.
When Shi Jiang heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Are you going to pick up Cuibi?"
Apart from this girl, she couldn't think of anyone else Shi Heng could pick up!
