Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

The situation was the same in the mansions of Shangshu Zhong and Shangshu Li. After returning home, the two ministers went to the study to ponder.

Thinking about the emperor's attitude towards Zheng Sisi this afternoon and evening, the two close ministers who had followed Emperor Yongshun for many years always felt that the emperor was hiding something in his heart.

I also thought about the chess game between the emperor and Abbot Fakong at Baiyun Temple last night. Abbot Fakong is very good at prediction. I wonder if Abbot Fakong said something to the emperor. Moreover, this matter is related to Zheng Sisi and is very important.

It has to be said that he is a close minister of the emperor, and one can guess a lot of things by looking at the emperor's attitude. No wonder it is said that no one who can become an official is simple, especially the higher the official, the more shrewd he is.

After figuring out the key, the two ministers told the entire palace that in the future when they met the upstarts in the capital, they should be courteous to Zheng Sisi, the emperor's favorite. It would be best if they could establish a relationship with her, but if they couldn't, they should not offend her.

He ignored the doubts of his family and said it was a death order.

In the Duke Ding's Mansion

After returning home, Duke Zheng and his third son went straight back to the study, where they discussed for a long time.

It was not until dinner time that she told her family what happened today. The old lady of the Duke of Guo was extremely distressed after hearing this, and finally decided to inquire about the situation tomorrow, and then let the eldest daughter-in-law go to look for Xie Yunmei.

There are two more that are having a hard time.

After Marquis Liu and his son returned home, Marquis Liu picked up a stick and hit the Prince. The Marquis's wife and the masters of each household who heard the noise came over came to try to dissuade him. One chased and the other hid, and they only stopped when the Marquis could no longer run.

I heard that because Xie Yunmei's matter was reported to the Emperor, everyone blamed the prince again.

Finally, I packed up Xie Yunmei's dowry and planned to send it back tomorrow. Now the dowry needs to be returned, but the betrothal gift cannot be taken back. It's really a loss of both the wife and the army.

Xie Mansion

The Xie Mansion became even more lively.

After Xie Junru returned home, he rushed directly into Fang's yard and slapped Fang hard in the face, leaving her stunned.

Later, Fang cried and wanted to fight with Xie Junru, so Xie Junru told her about Xie Yunmei's blocking the imperial carriage and suing the Xie family for occupying her mother's dowry. Fang was so frightened that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

There was really no other way, so we notified everyone to go to the old lady's yard to discuss the matter.

When the other sisters-in-law heard that the dowry was to be returned and they were required to pay a portion of it, several of them refused to do so.

Several people unanimously stated that the dowry was given by the eldest sister-in-law and had always been managed by her, so it should be paid by the eldest sister-in-law herself.

Fang said that Zheng's dowry was in her hands, but all the expenses of the mansion in recent years were paid by the mansion, and all this money was taken out of Zheng's dowry.

In addition, everyone took Zheng's dowry, such as jewelry and fabrics, and several younger brothers even invited friends to Zheng's restaurant to eat and drink for free.

Anyway, the quarrel was so intense and the whole place was a mess.

The old lady was also at a loss for words because she herself had taken a lot of things from Zheng.

Finally, the old lady said, "No matter what, the dowry and betrothal gifts must be returned. Now that the emperor has been alerted, we will make up the dowry and we will be able to stand firm in the future. If we don't return it all, the emperor will check the accounts and force us to make up the full amount. We will have nothing to say, and your career will be over."

Everyone fell silent after hearing what the old lady said. You can't just lose the position you worked so hard to get. You can earn money again, but you can never get it back if you lose your position.

After figuring out all the key points, each family expressed that they could pay a portion of the money and return the things they had taken from Zheng, and the day's farce finally came to an end.

But several sisters-in-law had opinions about the first wife.

In fact, Fang had occupied Zheng's dowry for so many years and she had embezzled a lot of it for herself, but she didn't want to give it all away. She also wanted to save up a dowry for her daughter Xie Yunwan, so the idea of ​​each room contributing their dowry came into being.

It was indeed as Zheng Sisi thought. After receiving this dowry, the Xie family did not have much wealth left.

Regardless of each family’s attitude, Zheng Sisi was sleeping soundly.
