Chapter 483: Will
"Hey, where's the little fish?"
"Who knows?"
"Hey, this guy" "As soon as Master Bao is gone, he will go to heaven"
"He is jumping into the sky, and he can't escape the adult's Five Finger Mountain. Wait for the adults to come back and hit his little report. ”
Lord Bao is inspecting, the leader is not there, hum, what else do I order. went out to have a while, but in fact, he received an urgent letter from the rivers and lakes, saying that someone wanted to see him.
At noon, Xiao Yu'er appeared in Wangjiang Tower on time, just sat down, there was a tall figure, dignified and generous face, simple and neat clothes, giving people a capable, organized impression. Obviously, this is a woman who has wandered the rivers and lakes and seen the world.
"You're the little fish?"
Xiao Yu'er said, "You are Miss Luo?" The beauty nodded, in acknowledgement.
Miss Luo sat down and said, "Shaoqing didn't sue me, you are so young. He smiled shyly.
"Shouldn't you be handsome?" The little fish teased angrily.
Miss Luo's pale face turned bloody, and she said with a smile: "Where did anyone say that she is handsome." ”
"Let's play chess." Xiao Yu'er smiled.
The two talked for a while, let go of the mustard in their hearts, and it was a good start.
"I'm a little out of the ordinary, little fish." "I'd better tell you the cause of this from the beginning," she said. "The complexion is not very good-looking, with a hint of sorrow.
Xiao Yu'er listened to the story of the beauty and said with a smile: "I'm listening, Sister Luo." Miss Luo said, "I am an orphan. Father and brother, they have dozens of acres of paddy fields. The paddy fields were not fertile, and the older uncle went to the South Seas to pan for gold. He did a great job there, he managed the land successfully, and he became a very wealthy man. My father, Lowe, was not interested in farming, he studied hard, and in the end he made a small business; His wife's (my mother's) family status was slightly higher than his: my mother was a beautiful lady. When I was six years old. My father died. When I was 14 years old, my mother went with him. At that time, my only living relative was my uncle Luo Xiang. He had just returned from Nanyang and had bought a small piece of land in his birthplace, Luozhuang. He was very fond of his brother's orphans, and he took good care of me, and he let me live with him on the estate, treating me like his own daughter. Xiao Yu'er really listened to the ears, but in her heart, she paid attention to Miss Luo's facial expressions, and every time she reminded people of someone.
Miss Luo continued: "Luozhuang is actually an old farm. Running farmland was a deep-rooted belief in my uncle. Although he treated me very well, he was on the issue of educating and nurturing women. He has some stubborn eccentric thoughts. He himself was a man with little or no education, and although he was very shrewd and capable, he despised the so-called book knowledge, and especially opposed to women receiving book knowledge. In his opinion, a woman's lack of talent is virtue. He cultivated and educated me according to the idea of women's three obedience and four virtues, which made me feel very disappointed. I openly rebelled against this, knowing that I had a good brain and no talent for housework. My uncle and I cared for each other and had a very close relationship. But they are all the kind of people with strong personalities. We've had a lot of arguments about this. When he said this, his expression was very angry, as if he was not going to the academy. Something seems to have been lost. made her very unwilling, but fortunately she went, thinking that this was God's favor for her.
He continued: "I was fortunate enough to receive a sum of money and, in a way, I have succeeded in choosing my life path according to my own ideas. When I made up my mind to study. Our conflict is at its extreme. I had a small amount of money of my own, which my mother had left me, and I was determined to make the most of it. For this. I had a long argument with my uncle. One day nine years ago, my uncle and I had one last argument, and he laid the truth in front of me very clearly: he had no other relatives, and he intended to make me his only heir. As I have already told you, he is a very rich man. However, if I'm stubborn, don't expect anything from him. I tried to be polite, but I was determined, and I told him that I had always had a lot of affection for him, but that I had to follow my own path in life. ”
Xiao Yu'er listened for a while, and then said, "Did your uncle tell you?" ”
Luo Meinu was surprised for a moment, and then continued: "My uncle...... He said, "Use your brain to think about it, I have no book education, but nevertheless, I am willing to use my brain to compete with your wisdom at any time, and I want to see who wins and loses!" ’”
Xiao Yu'er nodded: "What happened later?" Motioned for her to continue.
Luo Meinu continued: "Since then, our relationship has always been very harmonious, although his opinion has not changed in the slightest, he never mentioned the matter of me going to study at Hanlu Academy. It was in the capital that I met Shaoqing, where she also studied, and women were not allowed to study in other places. ”
In the last three years, his health has deteriorated. A month ago, he died. ”
"Now, let me talk about the purpose of my visit. My uncle left a very strange will. According to the terms of the will, Luo Zhuang, and all the income of the estate, within one year from the date of his death - 'in the meantime my wise niece will prove her ingenuity' - these are his exact words. After a year, 'if I prove to be smarter than her,' the house, along with my uncle's large inheritance, will be bequeathed to the government. After hearing this, Xiao Yu'er asked, "This is a bit too cruel for you, because you are Mr. Luo's only blood relative." "I don't think so," said the beauty, "for my uncle had warned me many times beforehand - and he was fair in doing so - but I chose my own path. Since I am not willing to do what he wants, he has good reason to leave his money to anyone he likes" "Is there any testimony to that will?" "No, it was written on a form of will, with a couple living in 'Luojiazhuang as witnesses; The couple has been in charge of taking care of their uncle. "This will can be declared null and void." "I'm not willing to do that." "So, do you see it as your uncle's challenge to your justice?" Xiao Yu'er is worried, still a classmate, and his temper is still really stubborn.
"That's exactly how I see it." Luo Meinu showed her playful side, is this really like Chen Shaoqing?
"Well, of course, another explanation is needed." Xiao Yu'er pondered, "In this old mansion, your uncle must have hidden a sum of cash somewhere; Either that, or somewhere else he hid another will. He gives you a year to test your wits and let you find them in the meantime. (To be continued......)
