PFC Chapter 242 Half-Day Trip to Lu Mansion (3)
Chapter 242 Half-Day Trip to Lu Mansion (3)
The opening of this secret compartment is very small, but it goes deep inside and extends to both sides to form a square.
It looks like a raised “凸” character.
Li Lanzhen used the space inside to place all the things on the ground.
"Tingyu, come and take a look."
Tingyu squatted down and glanced at the silver and silver bills on the ground, as well as a box full of gold leaves.
Her eyes fell on a stack of papers and she picked up a few sheets of paper on the ground.
"Grandma, can you please take a look and see if there is a house deed or a land deed?"
Li Lanzhen picked it up and took a look. Although it was ancient Chinese, she was able to guess it by guessing.
“Yes, Tingyu, it’s the title deed and land deed of this courtyard, as well as a manor outside Youzhou City.
The property deeds and land deeds of three shops on the main street of Youzhou City.
Tingyu, what should we do about these?"
The little girl stood up and stamped her feet and said.
"Take it away! Take it all away! Don't leave any for them!"
Li Lanzhen thought for a while and said.
"Tingyu, do you think this is okay? We can leave the title deed and land deeds of this courtyard to them.
Grandma will help you sell the rest and exchange the silver for your father."
Seeing Tingyu's puzzled look, Li Lanzhen talked to her carefully.
"Your father will have to take the imperial examination in the future. If he passes and becomes an official, your grandfather and his family will have no place to live, and they will still use filial piety to oppress your father.
It would be more troublesome to be entangled by them, so it is better to keep this yard.
When the time comes, your father will say that this is the dowry yard left by his mother.
I didn’t take it back because my father still needs to live there.”
Tingyu's eyes rolled up, he nodded, patted the dust off his hands, and said calmly.
"Well, that's a bargain for them! Let them continue to live here!"
Li Lan was thinking about taking the house deeds and land deeds of the manor and shop, and going to find the owner of the Sifang Hotel to ask him to help sell it, and then give the silver to Lu Boyan.
Li Lanzhen put the house deed of the courtyard on the ground back into the secret compartment and closed the door.
Holding Tingyu's hand, they walked out from here and entered the study.
The study is very large and is a suite.
There is a bed and tea set in the inner room.
This should be specially arranged by Lu Boyan's mother, as she was afraid that he would study too late at night and he could rest and drink tea here.
The study room outside is also very large. One wall is lined with antique shelves filled with books and jade antiques.
On the other wall, the entire wall is covered with bookshelves filled with books.
Pens, ink, paper and inkstones were placed in sets on the table next to them.
Seeing the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, Li Lanzhen suddenly thought of the problem of having to write a letter of severance of engagement and then file it with the government.
"Xiaoyu, this is what grandma thinks. What do you think?"
Tingyu raised his head, looked at her, stared at her and said.
“I want to write a letter of severance between your family of four and your grandfather.
Have your grandpa and step-grandmother put their fingerprints on it, and then take it to the government for filing.
This way, even if your grandfather and his friends come to bother your father again in the future, they will have something to say."
Tingyu clapped happily.
"Grandma, you are so kind, thank you for thinking so carefully for us!"
Having said that, he hurried to the desk, skillfully took out a piece of rice paper, spread it out, and began to grind ink.
At this time, Li Lanzhen was in a dilemma because she could not write traditional Chinese characters, but she could write calligraphy.
Because there were all kinds of activities in the factory during the era when she lived in it, and she didn't like to move and preferred to be quiet, so she participated in calligraphy classes and painting classes.
The calligraphy is still acceptable.
Tingyu looked at Li Lanzhen standing still.
As if waking up from a dream, he patted his forehead with his little hands and said.
"Grandma, you can't write.
Don’t worry, grandma, Tingyu will write it.”
He turned around, picked up a pen from the pen holder and said to Li Lanzhen.
“Grandma said, listen to the rain and write.
Tingyu started learning to write from his father when he was three years old and studied for three years.
My step-grandmother bullied my mother all day long and made her do so much work.
Tingyu stopped learning to write and read, and just helped her mother with work. "
Li Lanzhen walked to the desk, touched her head lovingly and said.
"Okay. Grandma said that Tingyu will definitely do it."
"The letter of severance..."
The two of them worked together to write a letter of severance of engagement.
After finishing writing, Tingyu picked up the rice paper with both hands, blew on it, and handed it to Li Lanzhen.
Only then did Li Lanzhen realize that there should be Lu Boyan’s seal, signature or handprint below.
Tingyu seemed to understand Li Lanzhen's thoughts.
Chuckling, she said, “Grandma, you don’t have to worry.
I have my father's seal in my safekeeping."
As he said this, he took out a seal tied with a red rope from his neck, took it off and gave it to Li Lanzhen.
Li Lanzhen used her seal to press Lu Boyan's name on the letter of severance of relationship.
Tingyu quickly dipped one of her fingers in red mud and pressed a red finger mark under Lu Boyan's name below the letter of severance.
"Come on, Xiaoyu, let's go get your grandpa and step-grandma to put their fingerprints on it."
Tingyu walked around the study and saw that all the books and things were there without being damaged, and she grinned.
"Grandma, please take them all away. Don't leave even a single piece of rice paper behind."
Li Lanzhen silently said in her heart, "Collect."
The study was empty inside and out.
The two of them came to the dining room together. Li Lanzhen stepped forward, grabbed Lu Boyan's father's hand and pressed his fingerprint.
……
Li Lanzhen was busy pressing fingerprints while Tingyu was busy beating people!
Li Lanzhen raised her eyes and took a look. It should be the fat and bully grandson of her grandmother.
Go ahead and beat him, it will make you feel better after you vent your anger, otherwise the kid will get upset!
Wait until they have pressed all their fingerprints.
Li Lanzhen asked Tingyu.
"Tingyu, is there anything else you need to take away?"
Tingyu kicked the little fat guy a few times.
"Grandma, we haven't gone to the barn yet, take the horse and cart with us.
That carriage and the chestnut horse were given to my grandmother by my grandma and grandpa."
The two men went to the livestock house again and put all the horses, donkeys and carts into the space.
Even the hay piled up nearby was not spared.
"Tingyu, doesn't your grandfather have servants to guard the house? Why are there only a few maids and servants?"
"Humph! This evil woman, this old witch, is so stingy!
Sell all the servants and maids in the house and exchange them for silver."
Li Lanzhen suddenly thought of the housekeeper Wu whom they met when they came here, but they didn't notice him among the group of people just now.
She hurriedly asked Tingyu.
"Tingyu, why didn't the butler Wu see anyone?"
Tingyu's face was stunned, she turned around seriously and said.
"Grandma, it's bad, butler Wu is not here.
This guy is really bad, he is the cousin of the old witch, and he always bullies my father. "
After a while, Tingyu remembered.
"Grandma, he's not in the house now. I know, he should be in the casino. He loves gambling the most. When he loses, he comes to ask the old witch for money!"
Li Lanzhen's eyes turned, he was a gambler, that was easy to deal with, as it happened that all the people in the Lu Mansion were here, except him.
During this time, the Lu Mansion was robbed!
He has to bear the blame even if he doesn't want to! !
