Last time I mentioned that Mr. Teng saw the secret in the painting. It turns out that this scroll was prepared in advance when Ni Taishou was eighty-one years old and was preparing a first-year banquet for his children. The ancients said that a son is as good as his father, and everything he said in the letter was correct.

Teng Dayin is the most capable person. Seeing so much gold and silver, he also started to covet it. He frowned and thought of it, and asked someone to bring Ni Shanji over if he had something to say to him.

It is said that after Ni Shanji monopolized the family property, he was satisfied and enjoyed himself at home every day. Suddenly, the county commissioner came to summon him, but there was no delay. Shanji had no choice but to come to the county together.

Teng Dayin happened to be in charge of the board of directors at the Shengtang Hall. He sent someone to report that Ni Shanji had been brought there, and asked him to come to the hall to answer.

Teng Dayin asked: "Are you the eldest son of Prefect Ni?" Shanji quickly replied: "That's right, the villain."

Dayin said: "Your concubine Mei Shi sued you, expelling your mother and younger brothers, occupying the land. Is this serious?"

Ni Shanji replied: "My younger brother, Shanshu, has always been by the villain's side and raised him since childhood. Recently, his mother and son said they wanted to move out, but the villain did not drive them away. Regarding the family property, it was all decided by my father before he died, and the villain did not violate it."

Shanji said that he would go home to get his father's will, but Dayin said that because the complaint mentioned that the family's wealth was related, the matter was not a trivial matter. After thinking that he was an official, I didn't embarrass him and planned to call Mei's mother and son to check it out in person at his home tomorrow. If the thickness is uneven, he will naturally do justice.

After Shan Ji returned home, he felt that this matter was not easy to handle. Although he had his father's will, in order to be sure, it was better to have relatives witness it. He gave the silver to his relatives overnight and asked them to come home early tomorrow. If the government asked about the will, please help them talk.

These relatives, since the death of Governor Ni, Shanji has never moved around, and he has not even sent anything during festivals. A large piece of silver was delivered today. I really didn't burn incense in my free time, so I was just cramming it. Everyone laughed secretly and prepared to wait and see what happened when they meet with the official tomorrow before making any plans.

When Mrs. Mei saw the county magistrate coming to summon her, she knew that the county magistrate wanted to make the decision for them. Early the next morning, mother and son went to the county to meet Teng Dayin.

Dayin said: "I'm sorry for your orphan and widowed mother, so naturally I should ask for an explanation for you. But I heard that Shanji has his father's will in his hand, what should I do?"

Mei said: "Although there is a will, But that was all a strategy to protect the children, not the late husband’s original intention. You will understand naturally if you look at the numbers in the family property book.”

Dayin said: “As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to take care of the family affairs. You, mother and son, will have enough food and clothing throughout their lives, so don't be too disappointed when the time comes."

Mrs. Mei only hopes to be protected from hunger and cold, and that's enough. So Teng Dayin asked Mei's mother and son to wait for him at Shanji's house.

Ni Shanji had already cleaned the hall, placed a tiger-skin chair in the hall, and burned a furnace of incense. He also urged his relatives to come early and wait.

After Mei and Shanshu arrived, they met with their relatives and couldn't help but say some words of pleading. Although Shanji was angry, he couldn't get angry now.

After waiting for a while, he heard the sound of shouting in the distance. It was probably the county lord who was coming. Shantsugu quickly arranged his clothes to greet him; among the relatives, the older governors were ready to go forward to see the officials; the younger ones were all looking behind.

Teng Dayin's sedan arrived at the door of Ni's house, he knelt down and shouted. Brothers Mei and Ni all knelt down to greet him. I saw Teng Dayin getting down from the sedan chair calmly. When he was about to enter, he suddenly bowed to the air, as if he was greeted by his master. Everyone was surprised. I saw Teng Dayin bowing all the way to the hall, saying some greetings. First, they bowed to the tiger-skin chair facing south, as if giving up their seats to someone, then turned around, dragged a chair, and sat down side by side on the main seat facing north.

Everyone saw that he was in a state of confusion and did not dare to come forward. They all stood on both sides. Teng Dayin opened his mouth and said, "I asked my wife to tell Wansheng about the family property. What are the specific circumstances?" After speaking, he acted like he was listening.After a while, he shook his head and said: "The eldest son is so bad!" After listening quietly for a while, he said again: "How will the second son live?" After a pause, he said again: "There is property in the side room on the right. "I know, I will give these to my second son,"

said after a pause, "How dare you accept such a generous gift?" He hesitated for a long time. Then he said: "Since you are so sincere, I will accept the late birth and write a voucher for the second son to keep." He stood up and bowed several times. Everyone was stunned.

Teng Dayin stood up, looked around, and asked where Master Ni had gone. Everyone said they had never seen Mr. Ni.

Is Mr. Ni really here?
