Chapter 323 There is a way to make money, and the conscience is not clear
Sister Feng couldn't help but laugh, and replied to Ping'er more and more lightly: "If this is the case, the house will be lively." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The master and servant muttered without a match, and before they knew it, they arrived in their own yard, Grandma Liu had woken up, Qing'er was worried, and she just urged Grandma Liu's house to go, and the three grandchildren waited to say goodbye to their aunt and grandmother, and hurried home.
Sister Feng didn't keep them, but now that they were short of money and didn't have extra money to send them, she packed a few pieces of clothes that she didn't wear much and gave them them, and picked up a few dim sum bags for them to eat on the way.
After a day of getting along, the relationship between Sister Qiao and Qing'er became more and more intimate, and they were reluctantly sent outside the corner gate.
I was saying goodbye here, and I saw a young man running over recklessly, if it weren't for Wang Ban'er's quick hand, he almost didn't knock Wang Qing'er down. When he looked at it, it was Jia Huan, the third young master of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Huan greeted first: "It turned out to be Wang Ban'er, did you come to fight the autumn wind to the second/grandmother again?"
Suddenly, I found that the girl standing behind Wang Ban'er, tall, with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, playfully hooked laugh lines at the corners of her mouth, was laughing with Sister Qiao'er.
Because he asked Wang Ban'er, "Hey, who is that girl?" ”
Seeing that Wang Ban'er sank his face and didn't want to pay attention to him, he hurriedly changed the conversation, approached Wang Ban'er and said: "Do you know what big things happened in Jinling Mansion today? Ma Daopo said that something big happened to them in Gujing Lane, just the Wang Pozi who sold rice wine, last night the house went to the water, and burned the Wang Pozi and a fool adopted by the family into black charcoal, and there is even more strange, the speculation of the government investigating the case said that it was Wang Pozi who set the fire herself, and she wanted to burn the fool to death......
Wang Ban'er didn't have the heart to listen to his nonsense, and couldn't help but interrupt him: "The third young master is laughing again, since he is a fool living on the street, he doesn't like to be driven out, how can he set fire to his own house and even burn it?"
"I don't know. Jia Huan glanced at Wang Qing'er from the corner of his eye, feeling more and more familiar, and happened to hear Sister Qiao'er call "Sister Qing'er", and couldn't help but high-five and laughed: "By the way, is this Miss Qing'er? ”
Although he had no impression or interest in this "Young Master Jia Huan", what he said made Wang Qinger quite concerned.
He said a blessing to Jia Huan with a dignified demeanor, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and the third young master has also grown taller." Brother, since the third young master said that it was a strange thing, he naturally couldn't use ordinary reason to speculate, if you want me to say, it must be that fool who is rude and arrogant, but he can't get rid of it by staying in people's homes, so the unlucky master is desperate. ”
Jia Huan saw that Qing'er took the initiative to talk to him, and became more and more interested, and said endlessly: "According to Ma Daopo, the fool is quite handsome, not rude, just because the fool is very handsome, the Wang family's rice wine business is particularly prosperous these days, and at the same price, those little girls and sisters-in-law would rather run a few miles more and go to her house to buy rice wine." If it weren't for his handsome appearance and surprisingly great strength, he wouldn't have to carry water with a flat burden, so Mrs. Wang adopted him. ”
The more Wang Qing'er listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, and suddenly became upset, and reluctantly agreed: "Is it? Perhaps, the Wang family's business is good, but the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys." ”
immediately said goodbye to Sister Qiao and Third Young Master Jia, hurriedly climbed into the carriage, and urged Grandma Liu and her brother to get in the car and hurry up.
Grandma Liu smiled inexplicably: "I dare to be steaming white-flour steamed buns at home, and I am in a hurry to go back to eat, so I am in a hurry to become like this! Qiao'er girl, third young master, the old body is not over, it is not early, if it is delayed any longer, it will be too late to leave the city before the curfew today." ”
"Qiao'er girl, the third young master, I also said goodbye!" Wang Ban'er also said goodbye quite humbly.
When the three ancestors and grandchildren of the Wang family returned home, they were already unconscious, because they didn't see the two girls, Qing'er was about to ask Wang Liu's family, but she saw Wang Gou'er coming out of the back room, holding a silver bag in her hand and saying, "Mother-in-law, guess how much silver is here?"
Grandma Liu didn't look at him at all, and called her daughter at the top of her voice: "Ban'er Niang, make some rice soup to drink, we still have lunch at noon, and we are so hungry that our chests are close to our backs." ”
Wang Liu's voice came from outside the door: "Mother, I have prepared it for you a long time ago, don't you smell the fragrance?" This is for you. ”
Grandma Liu said unhappily: "This is not the New Year's holiday, and it is not the time for farming, so why bother to spend money at night......
was directly ignored by his mother-in-law, and his son and daughter ignored him, and he was bored with a plain look, Wang Gou'er couldn't help but stand in the middle of the room stunned, and couldn't help but interject at this time: "Although it is not a New Year's Day, but there is a God of Wealth coming, I have a good thing to say to my mother-in-law, and you don't want to listen to ......."
Grandma Liu picked up the feather duster, patted her clothes, brushed the uppers of her shoes, and pouted: "Listen to you, I have made a mistake in the New Year! The bag in your hand is only when I don't know what it is, I heard that you went to gamble with people, and filled half a bag of stones in a cloth bag to pretend to be silver, and was found to be beaten and driven out, and this time I came to entertain the old lady again." ”
Wang Gou'er was so ashamed that his old face turned red, he untied the money bag, and poured all the things inside on the kang table with a bang, but it was not a dozen ingots of silver for nothing, and he almost blinded Grandma Liu's eyes.
"Son-in-law, where did you come from? Have you gone to gamble again? The God of Wealth has finally opened his eyes and let you win Lianzhuang?"
Wang Gou'er lowered his face very unhappily, and asked Grandma Liu with a stiff neck: "Mother-in-law, don't look at me with old eyes, just when did I chop my finger for nothing? When did you hear that I went to gamble again?"
"Don't let me rejoice in vain!" Grandma Liu said, she couldn't help but go over and check the silver ingots one by one, counted them carefully, and couldn't help asking: "Is this really all ours?
Wang Liu brought the hot pork rib soup, and Wang Ban'er followed behind Wang Liu, holding a plate of flower rolls.
"Mother, he really didn't lie to you this time. His Excellency Wang Liu took out the pork rib soup bowl by bowl, put on the chopsticks, and said to Grandma Liu with a smile: "Just the small courtyard of the widow's house, haven't you bought it for several years, and the family doesn't like it. ”
"That yard was really sold? did you make money without credit? one, two, three, four, five, six......
Grandma Liu couldn't believe it, sat cross-legged on the kang, counted the silver on the kang table, and muttered: "A full hundred and fifty taels? These silver are enough to buy a small courtyard in the city, and the widow's house, although it has only been built for twenty years, has not been inhabited for seven or eight years, and the doors and windows have been secretly unloaded by beggars for firewood, except for you, which fool is willing to pay such a high price?"
"Mother-in-law, I haven't seen you talk like this, the new owner is fine, the house is two courtyards, five rooms, the east and west wings are in the addition of the ear room and the back cover room, there are more than a dozen, I heard that the construction of the year is not labor and their own food, just to buy materials cost a small two hundred taels of silver, full of calculations, no three hundred silver can not be built. ”
Thinking that she would live in this dilapidated house in the future, Wang Qing'er couldn't help but interject: "How much silver will it cost if we build a new courtyard like that?"
Grandma Liu wrenched her fingers and calculated, and only sighed after a while: "Not counting the house base, not counting labor, and not counting the food and drink of entertaining helpers, I'm afraid it will cost two hundred taels of silver." ”
Looking at Wang Gou'er's snort, Wang Qing'er couldn't help pursing her lips, and secretly said "loser", this business is obviously a big loss, and he happily thinks that he has picked up a big bargain.
couldn't help but knock on the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, squeezed Wang Gou'er and said: "If you add or subtract like this, our family will really do more than two hundred and fifty in this business, and we will lose more than one hundred taels of silver in vain." My brother has also reached the age of starting a family, and the family is anxious to change to a spacious house, so we should keep the courtyard house for ourselves. ”
"Ghost girl, have you forgotten who didn't go to live in that courtyard back then?" Wang Gou'er glanced at Qing'er, and picked up two ingots of silver more and more to play with in the palm of his hand, and didn't forget to teach Wang Qing'er a lesson in his mouth: " The account is not calculated by you, just because the house has died, first the old owner, and then the young owner, are tuberculosis ghosts, I spent sixty taels of silver to buy, I thought I picked up a big bargain, but was sneered, even your mother and grandmother doubted me, said that it was the widow lost mind, your grandmother and you did not want to go to live, it was empty, and later, I don't know where a beggar came from secretly lived there, less than a few months also contracted tuberculosis and died, the people in the village felt more and more unlucky, no one was willing to live in vain, now it is easy to sell, and a net profit of eighty taels......”
Grandma Liu smiled: "You have also studied in a private school for a few years, and you can't even calculate the account, but you have earned ninety taels." ”
Wang Liu was in a good mood, and answered with a smile: "Ban'er's father is not wrong, this one hundred and fifty taels of silver, of which ten taels is the food money of their mother and son, Wang's mother said that they will partner with our family this year." ”
"Doing business is about both money and goods, but I have never heard of such a business. Grandma Liu muttered something in her mouth.
Wang Liu added a spoonful of soup to her, and explained uneasily: "It's just that Wang's mother complained that they were displaced, and they had so much money on them, and they bought a house, and it was a problem to eat and drink for a while. I see that his mother and son are pitiful, there are no pots, no bowls and nothing in the new house, and even the bedding is borrowed by my family. ”
Grandma Liu said: "I'll just say it." Leave them in our house to partner up, just add two pairs of chopsticks, we will have them if we eat one bite less, it's not worth anything, not to mention the sale of the house, our family is also a little inauthentic, help them to have a peace of mind, even if they escape the famine to my door, can they still watch people starve to death?"
Wang Qing'er gnawed the ribs on her hands in a few bites, and the remaining half of the cake was not in the mood to eat it anymore, so she wiped her hands with a rag, pretending to be indifferent, and teased casually: "It's not enough to starve to death, I'm afraid that the two of them will become tuberculosis ghosts in a short time, and they will come to the door in the middle of the night to ask their father to ask for the money that cheated him." ”
"Who did the ghost girl learn from?!" Grandma Liu stretched out her hand and gave Qing'er a burst of chestnuts.
"Grandma, what I said is all good things, it's not too late for you to listen to it. ”
Wang Qing'er rubbed her forehead aggrievedly, and no longer sold Guanzi, and said clearly: " Now that the silver is in hand, and the contract has been signed, I think they can't repent, I think they should give them a reminder, just say that the house is uninhabited all year round, it is best to clean it up and paint it with lime water, and the broken doors and windows have to be re-installed and installed, simply after the New Year, choose a good day to move over after the beginning of spring, perhaps, you can help them eliminate disasters and take refuge, they all say that there are gods in the head, and our good people do it to the end, and let them live in our house for the time being, which can be regarded as accumulating some yin virtue. ”
Wang Gou'er said: "It is also the will of God that he bought our house, whether it is auspicious or evil, I am afraid that it can be avoided by taking him in for a few more days." ”
Wang Qing'er had no choice but to say in the name of Imperial Physician Wang: "I heard from the Imperial Doctor who treated my aunt and grandmother in Rongguo Mansion that tuberculosis is very easy to transmit to others, so if one person commits illness, it will often accumulate in the family, but if you can wipe the doors and windows of furniture with lime water, and sprinkle lime powder on the ground for disinfection, you can prevent tuberculosis from being transmitted to others." ”
"You dead child, if it's really that magical, you should tell your father, don't sell it cheaply, build a good courtyard, just put down the trees behind the house, spend a dozen taels of silver, and repair the doors and windows......"
Grandma Liu interrupted Wang Gou'er's words, picked her teeth with a toothpick and said: "As the saying goes, contentment is always happy, the gold in the eyes is not as good as the copper in the hand, Qing'er just said that, I don't know if it works, so it is in a hurry? ”
In fact, Wang Gou'er was worried that Grandma Liu and Wang Liu would complain about themselves, so they preemptively said it, since their mother and son had nothing to say, they were relieved, because they asked Grandma Liu: "Then according to what Qing'er said, let them come to our house to live temporarily?"
"Just do what Qing'er said, I'm also tired, go back to the house and rest first." ”
After all, she was old, and Grandma Liu couldn't stay up for a long time, so she went back to her house to rest after eating.
His proposal was unanimously approved by the whole family, but it was unexpected by Wang Qing'er, obviously, although this family loves money as much as life, but has a good heart.
Asked to understand that the mother and son were in that courtyard, how could Wang Qing'er still stay, so she had to go over and invite them to come over to discuss the matter of cleaning up the house, because it was late, a person in the deserted village and Yeling was a little scared, so he begged Wang Ban'er to follow.
