Chapter 92 There is a kind of relative

It turned out that after Zhang Yueyun and his brother returned home alone, their family property was confiscated and confiscated, leaving only a huge mansion. When the uncle and his family were bombarded by the official, they privately swept away all the remaining valuable items such as clothes and furniture, and kept saying that it was theirs.

At that time, Zhang Yueyun was still in shock with her younger brother in her arms and sat foolishly in her parents' room. She cried when she saw the things and the officials did not disturb her when they saw this. The family members of the past did not know where to go and knew nothing about it.

After the official left, only the siblings were left in the empty marquis's mansion. Zhang Yueyun, who had no support, hugged his younger brother and cried. Fortunately, Xu Hao sent someone to send money, grain, brocade, quilt and other goods, and asked the guards to watch at night. The siblings who had been hungry for a day had a full meal and slept well on the floor, and finally solved the temporary urgent problem.

Xu Hao was confident of having to leave one hundred taels of gold from the property seized from the flower building, and told the Jinyiwei that this was to compensate Zhang Yueyun for his mental losses and family settlement expenses. The commander Jiang Qin ran to complain, and Zhu Yuanzhang just smiled when he learned about it.

One hundred taels of gold were redeemed for several families, and the others were either unable to find them or unwilling to come back. As half of the shares of the newly opened silk shop, the contract certificate was sent to Zhang Yueyun. In this way, he could have a monthly profit of nearly 200 taels, which was barely enough for the Zhang family's daily expenses. Xu Hao also planned to help the Zhang family buy some land and other industries in the future, which would be enough to support Zhang Yu's growth.

Xu Hao didn't want the brothers to remember his kindness wholeheartedly and fabricated that it was all the grace from the saint, so Zhang Yueyun accepted it with peace of mind. As the saying goes, killing rain and dew are all the kindness of the king. Although the Zhang brothers and sisters were young and their families were destroyed and their families were destroyed and their disasters were over, they did not have any resentment towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the future, everyone has to live their own lives. Xu Hao has no way to help him all the time, and he also intends to train Zhang Yueyun, and has not shown up for many days.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, the distant relatives of the Zhang family found out that in just a few days, the Zhang family stood up and immediately flocked to him with Bo Li.

At first, Zhang Yueyun was very happy, and distant relatives were also relatives. How precious was family affection for her at this time? She cried in emotion and greeted her aunts and aunts. The relatives cried with her for a while, and then proposed to move over to support the siblings nearby. Zhang Yueyun didn't even think about it and agreed happily.

Just like that, the outer yard was filled with relatives from various families. After a few days of her life, she saw that Zhang Yueyun was weak and could be bullied. Zhang Yu, a boy, was confused and asked for furniture and daily needs without hesitation. The new housekeeper Zhang Jiu's father was the manager of the former marquis's mansion. When he was in trouble, he wiped his neck in anger. He was a loyal servant, so Zhang Jiu became the housekeeper.

Zhang Jiu was just an ordinary servant who collected rent in the countryside. He was just thirty years old this year and had no idea or knowledge. He went to ask the lady to agree to the answer, so he contributed all the money regardless of the matter.

The entire Marquis' Mansion only had a little silver, how could it satisfy these greedy relatives? He asked Zhang Yueyun to complain about his suffering, saying that everyone came to help, and threw away his family and property, and bought all the money in his hand. He originally hoped that the mansion could help, but he was so stingy.

Zhang Yueyun is strong-willed, and she doesn't understand these trivial matters and can't understand the flaws.

She couldn't help but go to Xu Hao, one of her benefactors. After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and let her relatives go into the inner house by themselves. If you find anything that can be sold, you can move out and sell it.

The relatives praised the girl for being sensible, and then rushed into the inner house like a swarm. Seeing that the Taihu stone in the garden was valuable, they raised it and took it away; the dozen or so potted plants left in the Jade Pavilion were good, and they were all taken away; the messy tables, chairs and benches were good, so they could be taken home for repair and repair. Even the partition window in the house was worth a few copper plates, so they opened and took it away.

The Zhang family was like being raided three times in a row, and there was no need to say much about the one who was raided. After three or five days, relatives came together and complained that there was no food in everyone's house. Zhang Yueyun had no choice but to hand over the few pieces of jewelry to the housekeeper Zhang Jiu for sale, and bought some rice, flour, vegetables, etc. back.

The problem is that there are more than a hundred relatives who come with their families together, how many days can they eat? In addition, for example, after a hundred days of having a child, they have to be treated with gifts. Zhang Yueyun couldn't bear the hardship, so she sold all the clothes and other valuable things of the siblings, which only lasted for three days.

Unfortunately, these relatives did not appreciate it and continued to try their best to find various excuses, which was nothing more than asking for money.

Zhang Yueyun gradually realized that if this family continues like this, the family will be destroyed again. Besides, the younger brother has to send it to school, the servants have to give monthly money, everyone needs to eat, in short, they have to spend money everywhere, and they can't let their relatives be too unscrupulous.

However, it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them to gods. Zhang Yueyun couldn't bear it, so he had to let Zhang Jiu go to a few silk shops with shame, and he took out his future for the next month, barely satisfying the greed of his relatives.

Seeing that these people were particularly unsatisfied, their appetites became bigger and bigger, and they gathered people to drink and gamble, attracting some people to live at home. Men and women from all families were engaged in each other, and people fought every day.

Fortunately, the Zhang family is already barely sloppy and has nothing to care about. They let the children of each family sneak into the inner house all day long and thieves everywhere, making trouble everywhere to demolish the buildings. In the end, the servants were too lazy to clean up.

These relatives also relied on their identities to the servants, yelled at them, teased the girl and beat the servants, and made the Zhang family chaotic. It was useless for Zhang Yueyun to hide in the house. The servants came to complain all day long, and some families could not bear it, and even the whole family became increasingly interested in leaving.

Not to mention the Zhang family's loyalty and virtue, every day, relatives come to ask for money, until recently. Zhang Yueyun really didn't want to endure it, so she invited all the elders. She shed tears and said that the family was defeated so much, and everyone saw it. It really can't support so many people. Uncles, uncles, aunts, you can do it well, just go home.

When the relatives heard this, they stopped doing it and shouted, saying that everyone's surname is Zhang Nai, and they were family. When the family did not lose money, they did not give everyone money, grain, silk and other festive gifts? Their family broke their bones and had their tendons connected. After the family collapsed, we came over to help collect the body and bury them, and paid and worked hard. When you and the brothers came back, we not only did not ask you to repay the money, but the usual monthly money and food was not mentioned at all, right?

Zhang Yueyun nodded with gratitude immediately. The relatives laughed in their hearts and became more excited. He also said that we had kindness to help you support your family business, but I didn’t expect that when you stand firm now, you just want to drive all your relatives away. Isn’t it too unintentional?

Zhang Yueyun shook her head and said that it was not like this. It was really difficult for the family to be in trouble and could not support the food and drink expenses of the whole family. If I could hold on, I would not speak even if I could kill me.

At this time, the sixth uncle, who was the highest-ranking generation, stepped forward and shouted to calm everyone down. He asked Zhang Yueyun, "Don't you hold half of the silk shop in your hand? The shop is full of people and people to go and have a prosperous business. Why do you only pay 200 taels of silver in a month?"

Zhang Yueyun knew nothing about the silk shop. She only knew that the emperor rewarded 100 taels of gold, and she didn't know that because she was too anxious to redeem the people, each company agreed to the price at once, otherwise she would have to negotiate back and forth, and she might have to go to the end.

Among the twenty-somethings, there were five or six most expensive girls. On average, each spent more than ten taels of silver. In fact, the remaining more than sixty taels of gold was less than seven hundred taels of silver, and even 10% of the shares could not be bought.

Zhang Yueyun said with a bitter face that I didn't know about these things, and that was all the benefactors pity on me and my brother. Now the relatives were excited and shouted that you would have been deceived by someone in vain.

The respected sixth uncle took the lead in proposing that he would sell his part to others at a high price. According to his years of experience, the silk shop is well located, close to the Qinhuai River, and is very close to the palace city where dignitaries gather. It is decorated very grandly, the place is large and spacious, and there are constant customers every day, and at least 8,000 taels of silver can be sold.

Otherwise, our families would take out some money and raise 3,000 taels of money to buy the remaining half of the property. In the future, we will manage our own families and ensure that we will have a profit of at least 5,000 taels of silver every year. At the very least, rent or sell the house. The store is now worth 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, which is enough to buy several manors and support the whole family comfortably.

Zhang Yueyun felt something was wrong and said that since such a profitable transaction, why did a 50,000 taels of silver be exchanged for 50% of the money? Besides, the transaction is a transaction, and the store is a store. How can the two be confused?

The sixth uncle, who was relying on his seniority, smiled proudly and said, "It must be because of the emperor's instruction that he intended to be betrothed you to the benefactor whom he had never met before, otherwise why would he be so generous to help you? In terms of identity, you are the real daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. If the other party is willing to spend a lot of money, he must be the one who has been favored by our family." Without saying anything, he had to send the silk shop and the deed honestly with his hands, otherwise he would not even think about this marriage."

Now Zhang Yueyun understood everything. It turned out that they had a long walk and planned to spend a penny and want to spend all their benefactor's property and house in vain? They immediately took a breath! Could it be that you guys were so greedy that they had no bottom line? No, I can't let them do evil, otherwise they would continue to ask for more money in the future, and they would not hesitate to put their reputation in it. It's really unbearable.

Suddenly, Zhang Yueyun stopped saying a word, turned back to the room with a cold face, and no matter how the sixth uncle persuaded him, he would not come out. Seeing that they might have tear each other apart, the relatives were so angry that they immediately turned against each other and cursed the Zhang family for a woman who had just turned her arms out, and smashed the house into pieces before leaving.

That night, Zhang Yueyun burst into tears and sent her trusted family to the Xu family outside the city.
