The Rich And Honorable Chang An

Chapter 2

Xu Chang'an's mother was born in the Yang family of Fengzhou, a scholarly family for generations, quite famous in the local area.Back then, Xu's mother got acquainted with Xu Yongnian by accident, and insisted on marrying Xu Yongnian despite her family's opposition. The daughter insisted that the family had no choice but the Yang family did not make much progress because they were dissatisfied with the marriage. He let his daughter in and cut off contact with him ever since.

Maybe it was because she knew what the family thought, when Xu's mother got married, her mother prepared a generous dowry for her. Not to mention ordinary people, even if she married a rich and powerful family, the dowry was enough. Worry about living a life of wealth and honor.

Flipping through his mother's dowry list back then, Xu Changan knew that there were some things on it that he would never return, but there were still things on it, and he would not keep any of them for the Xu family.

"Mommy, I have something to discuss with my father, you go and invite him over." It is said that if a son has something to discuss with his father, he has to go there in person, but Xu Changan does not, he just wants to go to the place where his mother lived before her death. Although his father wants to belong to his mother, he wants to know how cruel his father can be.

For Xu Changan's orders, Mother Yang would not ask the reason, anyway, the master will do what he orders.

Soon, Nanny Yang and Xu Yongnian came over together, and Xu Yongnian's face was indeed a bit ugly.Xu Changan didn't bother to ask, and said directly: "Father, the day of my wedding with the eldest prince is approaching, I asked you to come here to talk to you about my dowry."

Regardless of men and women, as long as they get married, the family should pay a dowry. No one can say that this is wrong.

"It should be." About the dowry, if Xu Chang'an hadn't brought it up, Xu's father wanted to pretend to be confused and let it go. Anyway, this son is destined to be neglected after marrying, so just give the dowry casually.

"Father, what I mean is this. I know that my father doesn't have a lot of salary, and the family has a large population and a lot of expenses. Although I am going to marry off, I am also from the Xu family, so I have to think about the people in the family. How about this, father will give you whatever you want. I'll just prepare something, and my dowry will be my mother's share." Xu's mother only allowed Chang'an one son, and Xu Chang'an inherited Xu's mother's dowry as a matter of course.The husband's family has no right to dispose of the dowry of a married woman. She manages it herself during her lifetime and leaves it to her own children after her death. If she has no children, her own family will come to ask for it back.

When Xu Chang'an finished speaking, Father Xu's face was dark and gloomy. At the beginning of his words, he was secretly happy, thinking that this kid was so good, but he didn't know that this black-hearted kid didn't like the Xu family's things, and he was waiting to get the big head ah!

"Don't even think about it!" Without the support of Yang's dowry, how could he be able to support the Xu family with his little salary alone!

"What does father mean by this? My mother has passed away. If my mother doesn't give me the dowry, why should I put it in Xu's family? We don't have such rules in the Great Xiao Dynasty." With a sneer in his heart, Xu Changan is not prepared to give him such a good father. Stayed.Regardless of Xu Yongnian still standing, Xu Changan sat down by himself, took out the excerpts from the dowry in his sleeve, opened it and handed it to Xu Yongnian, telling him to quickly count the things on it.

"I don't want the money in it. I just treat it as a tribute to my father and grandmother. The antique calligraphy and paintings and jewelry on it are also Zhuangzi's property. By the way, there is also a shop. I will trouble my father to prepare it for me. I will give you the dowry list." It’s for the royal family.” This is Yang’s dowry, and it’s only natural for his only son to take away these things when he gets married, and Xu Chang’an is still married to the royal family, if Xu Yongnian dares to take the things on it If the dowry is withheld, the royal family will not agree to counting their own dowry. At that time, Xu Yongnian will not be able to bear the crime of occupying the dowry of his deceased wife.

He is an official appointed by the imperial court, not only must he abide by the laws and regulations, but also take care of his reputation. If he commits any of these two things, it will be enough to destroy his official career and his life.

"You! You rebellious son!" Xu Yongnian was so angry that he no longer cared about putting on face. Scholars like to say that everything is inferior and only reading is good, but is a scholar not a human being?Scholars also have to eat, drink, and sleep, and everything is inseparable from money. Thinking that Xu Chang'an actually wanted to hollow out the Xu family, Xu Yongnian regretted it. Nizi and his mother were sent to Huangquan Road together!

But he didn't think that none of the Xu family's things in his heart really belonged to the Xu family. Instead, it was the deceased Yang family who supported the Xu family for more than ten years.

"Father is so angry, is it because he wants to give me something unclean? Father, you should think twice. If I, the concubine bestowed by the emperor, dies suddenly at home, no matter what the reason is, the royal family will only think of one reason. Father is dissatisfied. The emperor's imperial decree for bestowing marriage, he knew my name privately, and the emperor will not be merciful when it comes to the royal face." Xu Changan sat on the side, staring at his biological father coldly, he knew that Xu Yongnian was regretting, but in fact He himself is also regretting it. If he had been sensible and awakened earlier, hadn't pinned his hopes on this completely heartless father, and had been as strong as he is now, would his mother not have died so aggrieved.

Facing his son who had suddenly become stronger and his identity had completely changed, Xu Yongnian had no choice but to leave bitterly, with blood dripping from his heart to get what was written on the piece of paper that he had crumpled into a ball.

"Young Master, you are just so majestic!" After so many days, the two girls finally showed genuine smiles on their faces.Xu Chang'an knew that they were peeking from the side, and he also knew that they were complaining for him in his heart. He was not just trying to express his anger, but also because of them.

"It's just a fox pretending to be a tiger." In everything there is a gain, there is a loss. He just used what he got to fight for something for himself.

Chun Yu's joy was fully reflected on her face, she thought that it would not be a bad thing for the young master to get married, if there was no such marriage, the young master would not know when he would be able to vent his anger on himself and avenge his wife.

After leaving his son's yard in a rage, Xu Yongnian had no choice but to go to his mother's yard with the cheek. Since Yang's death, Yang's mother took the most jewelry, followed by his cousin, and a few aunts. There, he also rewarded them a little when he was comfortable serving them.It's easy to talk about the mother and the aunts, but it's the cousin... hey!No matter, let's take back the ones from mother first.

"What? How could this belong to the Yang family? Since she married into the Xu family, then her belongings belong to the Xu family. Why give it to that kid!" Xu Yongnian's father was a scholar from a remote town. He was nearly four years old. Shicai is still a talented man, but after his eyes were higher than the top, no one looked down upon him. He had no choice but to spend money to marry a village woman from a nearby village and go home to carry on the family line.

This Liu family does not know a single character, let alone the national law. She thinks that what belongs to Yang family is her own. When Shi died, he eagerly moved most of his things to his house.

Now hearing from her son that this is still Yang's property, and she has to give it to Yang's only son, how could she understand and accept it, so naturally she quit.

"Mother! Do you want those extraneous objects or your son's official position and life?" Xu Yongnian didn't expect that what he thought was the easiest place would hit a snag at the beginning. The eyes roared out directly.

The old Liu was taken aback by his son's appearance, and asked tremblingly: "Is it really against the law if you don't give it? Will you be sent to jail?"

"Mother! The state-owned state-law family has family rules. At home, you are the ancestor's son who can follow you, but no matter how big you are at home, the royal family can't screw up the country's laws! Are you going to hold those money and watch your son die?

Now that kid hates me to the bone, and has completely disregarded the relationship between father and son. If you really don't give it up, just wait for that kid and the emperor to sue, and let our Xu family go to jail! "Thinking of his son's calm and gloating appearance just now, Xu Yongnian almost vomited blood, the anger all over his body could not be vented, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, his blood surged and he actually vomited a mouthful of blood!

When Xu Yongnian vomited blood, Lao Liu was so frightened that he passed out. Her son is her god, she loves her son and that's the most important thing!Now there was no need for his son to come forward, Lao Liu came forward by himself, took back all the things from his niece Liu and those aunts, and obediently handed everything over to Xu Chang'an.

It's just that after the things were handed over, the old Liu was not reconciled, and would go to the gate of Xu Chang'an's courtyard to scold people every day. Get up and continue cursing.

"Master, the old madam is really too much! You just took back the madam's things, how can she be worthy of being a grandmother like this, she is really disrespectful!" These days, Xu Chang'an didn't respond at all, Yang Nai Mama and the two maids were very angry. If it wasn't for their identities, Chun Yu would have thought of scolding someone in front of the door.

"Whatever she does, anyway, that's already a person with one foot in the coffin, let her scold, I don't care, we can't stay here for two days anyway."

"Yes, the day of the young master's big wedding is the day after tomorrow."

The day after tomorrow, I don't know what kind of person the eldest prince is, and how much he will anger himself. The future road... can only be taken one step at a time.
