1795 The eldest uncle of the Cao family(1/2)
Although Cao Yan is not Li Cong's biological sister, Li Cong has always been very protective of his shortcomings, especially those who have a relationship with him. Whether it is his sister or sister, he can say whatever he wants at home.
If others say something about this guy, he has to say it back with strong words. At present, Sun Binrong has no ability at all, and he still pretends to be aloof. He usually follows
The in-laws' family doesn't have much contact with each other. They come here when there is trouble. When there is nothing, they have to draw a clear line with their father-in-law's family. People like this are simply rubbish.
Speaking of the material of the clothes, there are some allusions. The life of the Sun family is not very spacious to begin with, and Sun Bingrong likes to be generous in front of the elders in his family. After all, apart from his father, this guy is Sun Binrong.
He is the only official in the family. If he can't take good care of his people, it will be meaningless to be an official. But this guy is still a county magistrate, not a high official. In the end, the benefits of a year are just
It's only tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is already a lot in the eyes of ordinary people. But when dealing with powerful people, this little money is useless even for a single gift. This kid has no other skills. He knows that his father-in-law has a lot of money in his family.
Money, the good guy started to have ideas in his wife's head after going back and forth. All the wife's dowry and other things were pawned, and some fake ones were obtained from outside, but Cao Yan still wanted some money.
It’s not easy to take these things with you when you go back to your parents’ home to save your face. Speaking of which, the current set of headgear is still a bit old. If nothing else, I just saw the four maids next to my brother wearing this.
She was much better than her aunt, which made Cao Yan feel very uncomfortable. What she didn't know was that Li Cong and Cao Zheng took this scene seriously in their hearts. How were these two people treating Cao Yan?
The things they do are so similar that the wrinkles on their brows would kill flies.
The Cao family manages some of the silk products in the world, so naturally the people in their own family cannot treat them badly. If they don’t have the best things, they have to be sent to the capital, but this time there are a lot of first-class things in the family. Cao Zheng
I also sent them to my daughters and nieces, which can be regarded as my own thoughts. Regardless of whether they use them or not, I finally take care of them.
Speaking of Cao Zheng’s three daughters and two nieces, the eldest daughter in front of me was the worst married and had the worst life. Cao Zheng originally had a younger brother, but he left early and left behind
She has two daughters, so the ranking of the ladies of the Cao family has been like this. The eldest daughter Cao Yan married the county magistrate's aunt, and the second daughter Cao Ying married a young master from the Earl's Palace in the capital. Now
Working as a fifth-rank official in the Hubu Yamen can be said to have a very good future. The third young lady, Cao Yun, married an admiral from a neighboring province, and now she has a sixth-rank official. The Cao family is different from those working there.
If you work hard this year, you should be able to get a lieutenant from the fifth rank. Fortunately, you are still young, and there will be many opportunities to rise in the future. The fourth lady, Cao Yue, is Cao Zheng's niece, and she is married to the grandson of a prince in the capital.
, although he is not very conspicuous at home, he is said to be outstanding in what he does. He has already started working as an errand in the Yamen of the Ministry of War. He is a serious seventh-grade. Miss Cao Jia, the fifth lady, just got married a year ago. She married an elderly pensioner in the same county as Cao Yan.
The grandson of the minister has now achieved a great reputation through his own efforts. It is said that his knowledge is very good. Poetry and calligraphy are also passed down in his family, so it will be no problem to get a good name in the future.
Why wasn't the eldest lady of the Cao family wearing the good materials given by her father? Speaking of which, it was the uncle in front of her who did it. The eldest lady of the Cao family only saw the good materials sent once, and then basically
No more. This guy just asked someone to send his name to a pawn shop and exchanged it for 30,000 taels of silver. Ten thousand taels were given to his family for household use. Ten thousand taels were sent to his father as his own.
Xiao Jing, this guy did the best to get the other ten thousand taels for himself. He directly got the second wife for himself. Cao Zheng had already investigated this matter very clearly. He was about to have an attack at this moment. Listen.
When it comes to Li Cong's words, the anger in his eyes is not concealed at all. Let's see what this kid can say.
"Father, the two of us are tired from traveling all the way. Why don't we take a rest first, and when we're done, we can go in and pay our respects to all the ladies and the elders of the clan, okay?" After all, Cao Yan still wanted his Jia.
Don't let things like this happen in Tingli. Looking at the faces of my father and brother, they are not very kind. If the quarrel breaks out, the one who is the most shameless is me, so I said something quickly, and sure enough
Because these words have already resolved the tense atmosphere, otherwise Sun Bingrong would not be able to escape easily.
"Well, that's the case. San'er, you take your sister to the guest room to settle down first. My father also has some official duties here. When he comes back in the evening, he can have a good reunion dinner." Cao Zheng saw that his daughter was already there.
He spoke. He couldn't alienate the relationship between father and daughter because of this bastard. He was a fool. Although Li Cong felt something was wrong, he just let it go. He would wait for a while to find out. Anyway, the two of them
Kouzi definitely didn't come back on his own, and the people following him must have Cao Zheng's spies. There will probably be news coming soon.
Sun Bingrong resigned to his father-in-law with some embarrassment on his face. In his heart, he was also dissatisfied. Since the things you have given away are mine, why do you have to worry about so much? How to arrange these things is also my business. I will tell you.
There is nothing left to do with the Cao family. He already has no hope of coming to ask for his father-in-law this time, but it's okay. His eldest wife can't do it, and there is a young lady over there. When he returns, he will follow the young lady.
Madam went to the governor's place. Although she was a daughter of the governor's family, she was still part of the same family. Thinking of this, this guy actually laughed out loud. If he couldn't rely on his eldest wife, he could rely on his younger wife.
Well, this little life is going very well. If Li Cong, who was leading the way, wasn't worried about his sister, he would have turned around to see if this guy had lost his mind and gone crazy. Cao Zheng over there
We are already dealing with you. In this realm, even if you are the governor, it would be very easy for Cao Zheng to deal with you.
After arriving at the resettlement yard, Sun Bingrong was still a bit reserved outside, but it was different after entering the house. He began to comment on the things in the house.
"Come and take a look, my God, each of these mutton-fat flower screens can be sold for five thousand taels of silver outside. I didn't expect you to have two of them here, and there is also this purple-green stove, which is a good thing.
I saw a colleague using this to give gifts to the governor, and it is said that he even asked for an official. Your family is so rich, you can’t tell from the dowry back then..." Sun Bingrong looked like he had never seen money before.
It seems that the disappointment on Cao Yan's face is no longer hidden now. How did he get through these years? Just look at the behavior of the person in front of him. When he is in front of others, he looks like a Taoist gentleman.
This is what the queen is like. She obviously wants to embezzle money, but she still can't show it on the surface. How can she be a good person if she even cares about her daughter-in-law's dowry?
"People outside say that the Cao family's wealth is indeed true. In the past, it was just your father. Now if you add your magician brother, it will be even better. In such a guest room
The furnishings are worth tens of thousands of taels, wouldn't the things in the main house of the Cao family be even more valuable?" This guy seemed to be talking to Cao Yan, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"Okay, these are matters of the Cao family, so don't think too much about it. Didn't you want to mention to your father that the prime minister in your place is going to be vacant? Why didn't you mention it just now?" Cao Yan couldn't help it even though he had no choice but to do so.
You can't quarrel with this guy at your parents' house at this time. In that case, the most shameless person is yourself. In recent years, my sisters have said that I have not been doing well, and I also need to save some face, right? How can I still say that I am still theirs?
Where's the eldest sister?
Hearing this, Sun Bingrong's originally cheerful look disappeared immediately, and he wished he could wipe off the frost on his face, "What are you talking about? It's like our Sun family is thinking about your Cao family's things. Our Sun family has nothing.
, it’s just that they are not like your Cao family, showing off everything. What’s the point of showing off like this? Now the Holy Family is prosperous. If the Cao family doesn’t have the Holy Family after the new emperor ascends the throne, it will fall down.
He's gone." This kid has a really bad mouth. This is at his father-in-law's house. He can say whatever the hell he wants. Let's not talk about how the new emperor treats the Cao family. The Cao family has a magician.
It can be guaranteed that it will not decline within hundreds of years. This guy has no clue. Cao Yan will never believe that your Sun family has these things. The most valuable thing in the Sun family is probably
The Sun family's mansion is old. Except for that, there are no valuable items in the Sun family's household furnishings. They are all bargains worth a hundred taels of silver.
Cao Yan also knew that her husband's brain seemed to be missing a thread. If he continued to talk to such a person, his IQ might be lowered, so he didn't say anything. Whatever this guy wanted to say was up to him.
But when the maid came over to serve tea, this guy was sitting seriously again. This guy also knew that he was at Cao's house now. Although his father-in-law may not be of any use to his affairs, he still didn't want it if he could avoid enmity.
Well, he also knows that his father-in-law's influence in the court is not comparable to that of his own family. Even if he is not a good friend, he cannot offend him. Otherwise, let alone the governor's yamen, even if he goes to the first-rank officials of the court, he will not be of any benefit.
Yes, who made the Cao family close to the emperor? In the past, I looked down on the Cao family as slaves, but it is good that they are slaves. They are also the emperor's slaves, and they cannot be ordered by just anyone. If anyone can't get along with the Cao family, first of all
The one on the dragon chair is the one who is unhappy. Big dogs still have to look after their masters, right?
When Li Cong returned to the living room, he saw Cao Zheng with a fierce face. It seemed that he really disliked this eldest son-in-law. Li Cong was also surprised. His relationship with Cao Zheng was already at war.
, now that I see Cao Zheng feeling so miserable about his daughter, I don’t even have the slightest idea of gloating about his misfortune, which is really strange to say.
"What's going on? Are you so angry? Is this the eldest brother-in-law?" Li Cong said after coming in. Even if something happens to his daughter and son-in-law, he can't make Cao Zheng so angry. Is there anything else?
"Huh, angry? If it weren't for your eldest sister's face, I would have asked people to beat that guy out immediately. If you come and see these things, I'm afraid you will be angry to death." Cao Zheng threw a stack of things to Li Cong and said.
, Cao Zheng is a weaver on the surface, but in fact it is far from that. Cao Zheng is a chess piece of Emperor Liu Xunai in the south to inquire about information, so he knows the most about some things in his daughter's family. This is the above
The records were all the records of my daughter's life in the Sun family over the years. It turned out that every time I asked my daughter to send something, the bastard would sell it. Not only that, the annual income of the two Zhuangzi who used to be married to him actually covered up to the public house.
After winning the lottery, his daughter actually had no money left in her hands. Not to mention, her grandson was originally the eldest grandson of the Sun family. However, because the old lady of the Sun family favored her younger son, she actually asked her eldest grandson to go to the provincial capital.
The quota in Lotus Academy was given up. Sun Bingrong's incompetent brother was allowed to go in. My grandson is definitely a good material for studying. Who is the second son of the Sun family? He is nonsense. He was sent there only a few days ago.
He was sent back by the old masters of Lotus Academy. How could such a person stay there? It was a waste of time delaying his grandson's schooling.
"It's really strange that there is such a family in this world. The eldest sister has been treated unfairly too much. The Sun family is so out of line, why can't we give them some color?" Li Cong was also very angry,
The Sun family relies on the support of the Cao family to live a good life today. It's okay not to repay the favor. They dare to treat the Cao family's daughter so lightly. No wonder the eldest sister's decorations are not very good. It is said that back then
The dowry was given to a village with a hundred hectares of land. The annual income was at least five to six thousand taels. The rules of this society were like this. The husband's family had no right to arrange the things that the woman brought in as a dowry. The husband's family had no right to arrange the things in this farm
People in the daughter-in-law's family take care of the future income. They just give it to the daughter-in-law every year. It's better for the Sun family. They just put the income directly in the public house. Now I'm afraid they have to ask Cao Yan, the eldest lady, to give out a thousand yuan.
It's hard to get even two silver coins, but the Sun family is really shameless to the extreme.
"Well, all the girls in this family belong to the weak. If we let this matter come to an end, I'm afraid it's your eldest sister who will be embarrassed. This matter is a bit difficult to handle." When it comes to how to deal with his uncle Cao Zheng, he has no idea.
What an idea. In fact, if Sun Binrong was not his daughter's husband, Cao Zheng would immediately have hundreds of ways to make this guy worse than death. But he couldn't do that. Do he want his daughter to be a widow? Let his grandson not have it.
Can't you kill your father?
Naturally, Li Cong doesn't have so many worries about these things. Since Sun Bingrong is not a good person, he can just get divorced. He can just rely on Cao Yan's affection for taking care of Cao Ke and raise him by himself. However, in this society, divorce is not the same as the earth.
It's different on earth. The divorce rate on earth is as high as 40%. That's impossible here. One divorce out of a hundred here is already weird. Generally speaking, this woman is considered to be living a good life.
No matter how bad things were, I would never choose divorce.
"Let me handle this matter. If the eldest sister is really willing to continue living with this person, I will deal with this guy properly. I will not let the eldest sister suffer." Li Cong said firmly, and Cao Zheng looked at it.
At a glance at his own son, he seemed to have changed into a different person these days. He was no longer the weak-tempered person before. In the past, he had discussed such matters with his eldest son. Now it seems that this younger son is even more annoying.
You can save yourself worries and decide everything by yourself, but this is not very good. Cao Zheng suddenly felt as if he was useless. This kid can do everything, so why should he do it by himself, but he is indeed useless.
Good idea, so I just nodded.
"Wu Liu, go to the eldest lady and tell her that I have something to ask the eldest lady to come to the study to talk about. Ask a beautiful maid to go over and serve the eldest brother-in-law. Just don't cause trouble and let the eldest brother-in-law give me some time."
Come and talk." Li Cong said to Wu Liu after going out.
"Hehe, this little one will do it immediately. The only maid in our house who can handle this matter is Qiuniang in the backyard. Speaking of which, this little widow is very good at this. The custodian will not disturb the young master.
Talking to the eldest lady." Wu Liu said with a smile, this Qiuniang seems to be a romantic figure.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go to work, tell that Qiuniang, if you do a good job, I will reward you." Li Cong threw out a five-tael silver ingot and said, Wu Liu had already taken the silver and hurry up.
Went to work.
It is not a simple thing to calculate such a person with bad habits. When the time comes, you can catch this guy just by doing whatever you want with him. Wu Liu had only heard of such things before.
But when it comes to doing it, everything must be done according to the young master's instructions, mainly because the Cao family has never done such a thing before.
This Qiuniang can be regarded as a stunning girl from the Cao family. She turned out to be someone close to the eldest young master. Her ability to be charming is very powerful. It is said that she took advantage of the eldest young master when she was thirteen or fourteen years old. What happened next is what happened.
I don’t know how it got spread out. My wife didn’t want to see this the most. She was originally going to send her away. Who knew that the young master liked this so much that he knelt in front of my wife all night before letting this girl stay. My wife
She didn't want anything to happen to her son just because of a girl, so she stayed. When the eldest mistress came in and became an aunt, who would have thought that the eldest young master would end up like that before he got married. Naturally.
To be continued...
