"I want a little bit less, but I know that the Yan family's family's assets can be made up after squeezing them. If they have a little more, they will not be able to take it out."

The master did not follow him, otherwise he would not believe his eyes. At this time, Li Qiniang and the strong woman in the court were completely different. Her eyes were full of love and even a little cautious, as if the daughter in front of her was a treasure that was lost and regained. If she was not careful, she would disappear without a trace.

"Shao? How much is that?" Yan Xuehuai didn't think so much, her eyes shining and silver.

"Ten thousand taels." Li Qiniang said.

"Ten thousand taels?" Yan Xuehuai lowered his voice in an instant, leaned into Li Qiniang's ear and asked, "Can the Yan family have a 10,000 taels?"

Li Qiniang smiled: "It's not what you said. Nowadays, the housing prices in Xinjing are worth every inch of land, and even if you have money, you can't buy a good house?"

Yan Xuehuai nodded. Not only did she say that, but the guests who came to Li Shiji to have dinner often said this. It is said that many officials from the south could not buy a house with money, and even Ye Cifu rented a house to live in.

"Ten thousand taels are not too much, and less is not too little. If you sell the house in Luoguxiang, you can not only get enough 10,000 taels, but you may have some extra money to keep him and have a child who is married to his family."

The "he" mentioned by Li Qiniang, of course, refers to Master Yan Er.

Although Yan Xuehuai didn't say it, she actually admired Li Qiniang in her heart.

When it is broken, it will break, never dragging on the mud, and not being ruthless. Even in the era when Yan Xuehuai lived, not every woman could do it like Li Qiniang.

In the back yamen, the master told Yan Jingxiu the amount Li Qiniang wanted. As expected, Yan Jingxiu was stunned for a long time before saying, "So much?"

The Yan family has not had to worry about food and clothing in the past fifteen years. Yan Jingxiu is smart and has long remembered the smart children. He still remembered that his family was very poor when he was a child.

Although life got better and better later, compared to other families, the Yan family's family's foundation was too thin.

The master touched the goatee's beard and said indifferently: "Ten thousand taels are not too much. Li doesn't want much. Why don't you ask your second uncle, where did Li's gold, silver jewelry and antique decorations, and that big box of gold, where was it thrown away? If it can be retrieved, wouldn't the ten thousand taels of silver be collected?"

The master also admired the young man Yan Jingxiu, but he just admired it. As many people he admired, he also admired Miss Baimei in Yanzhi Lane, but could he take Miss Baimei home? Of course not, he couldn't even give Miss Baimei a few taels of silver, so the most valuable thing in the world is appreciation.

Yan Jingxiu felt his face burning. The master meant that the Yan family would spit out the swallowed money. If he lost it, the fool would believe it.

"I want to discuss with my second uncle. Can sir be convenient?"

The master waved his hand and he could make the decision.

Mr. Yan Er was locked up two hours ago. For him, these two hours were as painful as two years.

There were many people locked up in the prison, and they were thieves and scoundrels at first sight. When they saw a master wearing a long gown, they all said anything.

"Look at this dress, I'm the teacher in the school. Why did the teacher get caught in?"

"I must have slept with some student's mother and was caught in bed."

"I guess not, as I see he was sleeping with a student."

"Students? All students are men."

"What's wrong with the man? You haven't heard of anyone who specializes in this. Look at this man who looks pretty, it's obvious that this person is good at it."

"If you don't believe it, you can pinch his butt, and you must be pinched if you don't want to pinch it."

So, Mr. Yan Er, who was powerless, was pinched several times. Fortunately, the prison head was worried that something might happen, so he locked Mr. Yan Er to another cell alone, and Mr. Yan Er's butt was not pinched into garlic cloves.

He waited and waited, but he didn't expect that the person he waited for would be Yan Jingxiu.

"Ashu, why are you here? Didn't you attend classes in the academy?"

The house in Luoguxiang is narrow and short, and Yan Jingxiu will hardly come back except for Fumu.

Yan Jingxiu was too lazy to explain why he asked for leave because a classmate in the academy saw Yan Zhaoshi on Huichang Street. The classmate was a day school student. He had seen Yan Jingxiu's uncle who was a juren. Therefore, when he passed by Huichang Street in the morning, he saw Yan Zhaoshi fighting with a woman on the street. After arriving at the academy, he told Yan Jingxiu.

Yan Jingxiu hurriedly asked for leave from his husband, found the government office all the way, and met his third uncle Yan Zhaolin outside. Only then did he realize that Li Qiniang not only had a good time, but also sued the Yan family.

Fortunately, You Wu was still in the capital. Yan Jingxiu found You Wu and came to the court with the letter of contract. However, it was still too late. The evidence of the attempted murder of Mrs. Guo and Sun, together with the two women, was conclusive. Moreover, such cases do not need to be reported to the Ministry of Justice, and the prefect has the right to make a judgment.

Yan Jingxiu saw Yan Zhaoshi with a disheveled hair and a mess, and his blood immediately surged. If the person in front of him was not his uncle, if it was not for everyone at this time, he might have punched him.

It is really a shame to be a juren who can't handle even a woman.

Yan Jingxiu suppressed his anger and told the details of Li Qiniang asking for 10,000 taels of silver. Yan Zhaoshi was furious: "This bitch, what she brought out from the south was obviously a box of silver ingots, so why did it turn into a box of gold?"

Yan Jingxiu was stunned. He heard Li Qiniang say that there was a box of gold in the court, and in the back hall, he heard that there was a box of gold in the court, so he did not doubt that there was him.

"Uncle Second, think about it carefully, is it gold or silver?"

"Of course it's silver," Yan Zhaoshi gritted his teeth, "There are chaos in the war. I heard that the places where the best accommodation on the road dared not collect cash notes at all, so I only recognized gold, silver and copper coins. Everyone outside said that the emperor... The two ran away, and they were all in a mess in the old capital. There were many people robbing money and things on the street. Not only were thieves robbing things, but even those who were in the army robbed the silver. We didn't dare to go to the money shop to exchange silver. The box of silver ingots was the cash silver that Li had on hand, ten taels and one ingot, a total of thirty ingots, a total of 30 taels, which was true and there would be no mistake."

"Where is this box of silver? Is it lost?" Yan Jingxiu asked.

Yan Zhaoshi swallowed: "A family like this, they need food and clothing to go to the capital. Where can they not need money? Don't they need some money? It's only three hundred taels, and they have been used almost all. Besides, since Li married into our family, these things are of course our family. The silver ingots are not engraved with the word Li. Why should she say it is hers?"

Yan Jingxiu suddenly felt powerless. It was worth noting that his second uncle had never been able to pass the Jinshi exam. He was so stupid that he might have answered the editorial topics of the imperial examinations in a mess.

"The word Li is not engraved on the silver ingot. Li Qiniang cannot prove that the box of silver belongs to her. Similarly, we cannot prove that what is contained in the box is not gold but silver."
