Chapter 124 Sharp teeth and sharp mouth
The account books were destroyed, and the various forces in Lingnan have been waiting and watching. They thought that there is no evidence to support the Qian Palace, so it should stop.

It’s just a little bit beyond everyone’s expectations. The various forces still received the post from Qian Wang’s Mansion as scheduled, inviting everyone to participate in the discussion meeting on cleaning up hidden households, re-measurement of land, and registration of fields, which can also be called a mobilization meeting.

The Mou family also received invitations.

The Mou family has a lot of fame and fame. Although they just moved to Lingnan this year, they must integrate into the local circle if they want to take root in Lingnan.

Their family's fertile land hasn't been bought yet, but they have followed Xia Jing's example and opened up a lot of wasteland. They don't have to pay taxes for three years. It is said that this year's liquidation of hidden households and the registration of farmland have nothing to do with them.

But after taking root in Lingnan, their family will have to pay taxes like everyone else after three years, so the Qian Palace sent them a post.

Mrs. Mou checked the post repeatedly, expressing doubts about whether this matter could be implemented smoothly, "This decree can really be implemented smoothly in Lingnan, rumor has it that the account books have been burned, can the prince produce other evidence to prove the actual number of acres of land of the various forces? Or is it that the prince used strong methods?"

The second master of the Mou family shook his head and laughed: "The aristocratic families in Lingnan are particularly xenophobic. Anyway, our family has not yet bought a piece of land. The wasteland we opened will not be taxed for three years. This time we used to join in the fun, just to see Let's see how the Lingnan tyrants confront the Wangfu."

Mrs. Mou stared at the post on the case with complicated eyes, "I don't know if it's right or wrong for us to move our family to Lingnan?"

The second master of the Mou family laughed at himself: "We were already driven into a desperate situation by the historians. If we hadn't taken advantage of the power of the palace and fled to Lingnan, we don't know what we are doing now?"

Therefore, for the fleeing Mou family, there is no right or wrong to come to Lingnan, it is just imperative to survive.

Mrs. Mou frowned slightly after hearing what her husband and son said, and after thinking for a while, she opened her mouth to probe: "It must be very lively in the government office today. To be on the safe side, do you need to let the eldest daughter-in-law go and spy on the princess?"

Mrs. Mou was annoyed at Prince Qian's Mansion since Xia Jing didn't give them the convenience of Mou's family since the last conscription.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, their own family is not as good as others, and their Mou family can only live in Lingnan for the time being.

Wu Yuli's mother and daughter didn't help the family because of the conscription last time, and the other rooms of the Mou family treated them a lot colder, and sometimes the juniors got together and ran against Mou Guangzhen in a weird way.

With her father gone and no brothers to help her, Mou Guangzhen could only bear this anger no matter how angry she was.

If she made a fuss recklessly, the life of the first wife mother and daughter would be even more difficult.

This day, the mother and daughter went to Mrs. Mou's Shoukang Hall to pay their respects as usual. As soon as they entered the door, they noticed that the female relatives looked at them, and Mrs. Mou seemed to look a little better at them.

Although Wu Yuli's mother and daughter were surprised, they greeted Mrs. Mou calmly, and then found a seat and sat down, wanting to see what kind of demon moths these wolves, tigers and leopards of the Mou family have.

Everyone was gossiping a lot, and finally seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Mou finally started to talk about the business, "Boss, daughter-in-law, didn't you say that you wanted to accompany Miss Zhen to the street to buy some clothes? Don't delay, if you are free today, you can go shopping with Zhen girl, and if you see beautiful clothes and jewelry, you can buy them back, if you don't have enough money, you can withdraw money from the cashier."

Wu Yuli and Mou Guangzhen were so shocked that they couldn't control the expressions on their faces, and at the same time, they became more vigilant.

Because they know how to be courteous for nothing, rape or steal!

If their mother and daughter were useless, how could the people of the Mou family be kind to them!
They actually took the initiative to ask them to withdraw money from the public, which seems strange no matter how you look at it.

Mrs. Mou seemed unaware of the vigilance of the mother and daughter.

Afterwards, her cloudy eyes looked at Mou Guangzhen, with a kind smile on her face, "Girl Zhen is just the same age as Hua, she should dress up well, so as not to be looked down upon when she walks outside in the future."

Wu Yuli smiled politely: "Thank you mother for your concern. Zhen'er has already bought a lot of clothes and jewelry this year. If I buy something for her again, the other little girls in the family should have some opinions."

Mrs. Mou Er didn't know what Mrs. Mou was planning, but she only knew that the mother and daughter of the big house needed their help.

Hearing Wu Yuli's words now, I didn't turn my eyes towards her at first, but finally couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Sister-in-law, don't you mother and daughter act good when you take advantage of it, and step on your niece when you take advantage of it." Feet, who taught you to be so shameless?"

"I, I have no other meaning." Wu Yuli was wronged to death, she just rushed to this point, and really had no other meaning.

"You don't have any other intentions, so why are you mentioning the other little girls in the family? If Mother wants to buy clothes and jewelry for Zhen, it's because Mother loves you. If you are willing to accept Mother's intention, then accept it, and if you don't want to accept it, just reject it. Why? Mention them."

Mrs. Mou Er stared at Wu Yuli's bitter face, her teeth itching with hatred, "As an aunt, don't you know what to say and what not to say? If your words are spread today, what will outsiders do? How many girls do you want?"

Wu Yuli was stunned speechless, she had nowhere to express the grievance in her heart, and tears of grievance suddenly fell down.

In this situation, even Mrs. Mou frowned, thinking to herself, bad luck!
I feel that a woman who loves to shed tears is unlucky, maybe Wu Yuli, an unlucky woman, could be responsible for the elder son's accident.

Sure enough, to marry a wife is to marry a virtuous one. An unvirtuous wife will directly harm the three generations, and Wu Yuli is an even worse woman, who will destroy the inheritance of the big house in one generation.

A big house without a son is an extinct family!
Mou Guangzhen, who was sitting by the side, turned green with anger when she saw that all the women in the room were bullying her mother.

She stood up abruptly, and said: "Whose power is Second Aunt so aggressive? Could it be that the father is gone, so we feel that we are a bully with orphans and widows?"

"You, you disobedient and unfilial person." Madam Mou Er was so angry that her face completely darkened, and she was about to reprimand her when she was interrupted by Mou Guangzhen.

Mou Guangzhen has endured her for a long time, and now she tore her face, and she simply felt refreshed, "What are you, you want to say that I am disobedient? You are worthy of saying this. They say that a sister-in-law is like a mother, you How much respect do you have for my mother, the elder sister-in-law?"

Having said that, she looked around the crowd and snorted coldly: "My mother is right, since my father passed away, who in your house has taken our mother and daughter seriously, no matter what I say She is also the eldest daughter of the Mou family, and she is the face of the Mou family when she goes out, but how did you treat me? The younger sisters in the family are jealous of me if I have something nice, and what they say is sarcasm. Are you educated?"

Mrs. Mouer's chest heaved with anger, and she roared angrily, "Sister-in-law, is that how you teach girls?"

Wu Yuli didn't expect her daughter to be so extreme this time, she was stunned on the spot in shock, and was yelled at by Mrs. Mou Er, who came back to her senses.

She collected herself and was about to speak, when Madam Mou slapped the table, "Enough!"

Mrs. Mouer and Wu Yuli were so frightened that they both shuddered and knelt on the ground, "Mother!"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Mou was really annoyed this time.

She stared at Wu Yuli's mother and daughter with cold eyes, and her tone of voice was frosty, "I will leave my words here today. If you mother and daughter know what is good or bad, go buy some clothes and jewelry, and if you don't know what is good or bad, just treat yourself like an old woman." .”

After finishing speaking, let the servant girl leave with her sleeves supported, and enter the back room.

As soon as Mrs. Mou left, Mrs. Mou Er stood up. She changed her previous angry expression and looked at Wu Yuli's mother and daughter with a half-smile. It's your mother and daughter!"

"Second Aunt, don't deceive others too much!"

Mou Guangzhen wanted to jump up again, but this time Wu Yuli forcibly grabbed her.

"Mother" Mou Guangzhen is still not reconciled.

Wu Yuli ignored her daughter and stared at Mrs. Mouer coldly.

Mrs. Mouer would be afraid of this toothless tigress, she glanced at Mou Guangzhen, smiled sarcastically, and without saying a word, she led the other female members of the Mou family out of Shoukang Hall. Follow it out.

When only the mother, daughter and their maid were left in the room, Wu Yuli was so angry that her chest heaved and heaved.

Mrs. Mou Er's sarcastic smile just now was imprinted in her mind, and it deeply hurt her self-esteem.

Although Mrs. Mou Er didn't say anything, her sarcastic smile seemed to say everything.

On the second day, Mrs. Mou didn't let them go to pay her respects, but directly sent her mother-in-law over to pass on the message, saying that they should prepare for their mother and daughter, first post a message to Princess Qian, and visit the palace in two days.

The tone of this order is as if the palace is the back garden of their Mou family, and they can go shopping if they want.

"Mother, what does this old lady mean? What purpose do you want to use us for?"

What Mou Guangzhen said was slightly worried, but her eyes were shining, as if looking forward to it.

Wu Yuli sighed: "Who knows, she will tell us the day we go out."

They were both used to this sort of thing.

Two days later, there was a lot of traffic at the gate of the government office, and heavyweights from all sides in Lingnan gathered together.

More people are holding the mentality of watching a good show. In their hearts, they think that the account books have been burned, and even the princes of the court cannot force the people to rebel.

As mentioned earlier, land was the hard-core asset of the ancients, just like real estate, car production and deposits that later generations valued.

Everyone is ready to fight wits and bravery with the palace.

Xia Jing is not worried that there will be problems in the front office, the existing plan is there, and the two gentlemen cooperate with King Qian, the plan should be implemented smoothly.

She was hiding in the backyard for half a day, but she didn't expect Wu Yuli's mother and daughter to come to the yamen in the morning when there were many people and busy affairs.

She thought that they would wait for the people in the front office to leave in the afternoon before coming to the door.

"They are so impatient, what are they talking about?"

Hongmei chuckled after hearing this: "No matter what they came here for, they wanted to get in touch with you, otherwise their Mou family would not have a backer in Lingnan."

A word awakened the dreamer, Xia Jing gave her a thumbs up, "Your girl's words really hit the nail on the head, very insightful."

"Wangfei is ridiculous." Hongmei covered her lips and laughed.

Xia Jing yawned, lying on the soft couch and didn't want to move. It's good to exercise in the morning, but after eating too much breakfast, she will appear tired.

Xia Jing didn't know what the reason was, she hadn't reached this stage in the end of the world, presumably it was because she was getting older.

She waved her hand, "Go and bring them in, be careful not to bump into the guests in the front office."

"Yes."

Hongmei took the order and left.

At this time, all forces in Qianya have basically gathered in the meeting hall.

Before King Qian and the officials arrived, they passed on the news they had heard to each other.

"Do you know how strong this decree will be? Is it estimated that it can be implemented?"

"It's hard to say. The last time the account books were burned, King Qian made a harsh statement. The south of the Five Ridges is a waste of time. Clean up the hidden households, re-measure the land, and register the fields and register it is imperative!"

"So, listening to him means not giving up until it is carried out."

"Looking at his style of acting like this, this matter is a bit difficult!"

"It's just that I don't know who encouraged King Qian to do this to us when he first arrived. This will kill us all!"

"Who else can it be? It must be the staff of the palace. I'm worried that if the account books are lost, the prince will enforce it forcefully and just say what he wants. At that time, he will have the final say on our property."

At that point, everyone is in a hurry, wondering if it will be a dead end?
King Qian took several sons and staff, and a group of Lingnan officials behind him, and the group walked to the meeting hall in a mighty manner.

Don't look at King Qian as an old dude, but just looking at his tall body and noble aura, he can still bluff people outside.

No, Wu Yuli's mother and daughter followed Hongmei through the Qianya, and when they noticed King Qian's group, they frightened them tremblingly and did not dare to breathe.

Mou Guangzhen watched the group enter the meeting hall, and then she said with emotion: "It's so majestic."

Hongmei looked back at her, just as if she was ignorant, and the little girl had never seen such a scene since she was a child, "Men do great things, so they must be full of arrogance when they do things outside, so as to deter some ghosts and snakes with malicious intentions."

Wu Yuli was afraid that her daughter would say inappropriate words, so she nodded hastily: "The girl is right, a man has to be careful when doing things outside."

Hongmei smiled and didn't speak again, and led them back to the backyard through the second gate.

When passing by the garden, I happened to meet Aunt Sun and the third wife Fu Shi who were walking here.

Hongmei murmured inwardly, but on the surface she still had to politely go forward and salute, "I've seen my aunt, I've seen the third lady."

Seeing that she was Xia Jing's maidservant, the third lady asked her to stand up politely, and said a few polite words by the way.

And Aunt Sun's attention was not on Hongmei at all, but on Wu Yuli's mother and daughter behind her.

"Isn't the front office very busy today, why is the princess still entertaining guests at leisure?"

Against Aunt Sun's unfriendly gaze, Wu Yuli's mother and daughter bit the bullet and greeted them.

Aunt Sun ignored them, but turned to look at Hongmei, as if waiting for her to answer.

Hongmei wanted to touch her forehead, "If you go back to Auntie, if guests come to the door, it is impossible for our princess to reject guests. This is not the way of hospitality in our palace."

Wu Yuli blushed when she heard this, she was ashamed!

Whether it is the words of the master or the maid, they all reveal one meaning, that is, they dislike their mother and daughter for being ignorant, and when the palace is so busy, they still send posts to visit.

But Mou Guangzhen secretly gritted her teeth, hating the person who humiliated her.

 Well, I feel very tired today~
  Thank you for reading, good night~
