With a thousand taels of silver in his arms, Wang Ren pretended to be fine, and returned home without hurrying, only to know that his father had passed away yesterday, and he felt a burst of regret in his heart, and knelt in front of the spirit and cried bitterly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"You didn't see a shadow when you were mourning, there are a lot of things going on, the helpers are still waiting for the silver, and the relatives and friends who come are invited to receive and entertain, you have a good excuse to hide here as a filial son!"

The sneering is Wang Ziteng's wife, at this time the house and outside the house have already become a mess, either the ever-bright light is out for a while and no one cares, or there is no one to receive the condolences, and then there is nowhere to spend money, and the errand is sitting in the courtyard and staring.

After the death of Mrs. Wang Teng's main room, she didn't have time to renew the strings, and after the house was raided, everyone in the house was dismissed, leaving this Mrs. Ru, who was about the same size as Wang Ren, and she was busy working in person for a long time, how could she not be angry.

Originally, the funeral had Jia Lian and Ping'er to help, one inside the main and one outside the main, even if the silver was not in hand, it was Jia Lian who was cheeky, guaranteed for him, and took credit everywhere to support the dignity of the Wang family, because Sister Qiao was missing, most of the Jia family were taken by Jia Lian to find Sister Qiao'er, Ping'er thought about the second grandmother entrusted Sister Qiao to herself, and now she lost it, I'm sorry for the second grandmother, she suddenly fell ill in a hurry, Xue Baochai is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, it is not good to show her face, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue are both used to enjoying happiness, and it is okay to move their mouths, but now they want silver without silver, and there is no one to ask for people, so they are in a hurry, and they can't take care of that head if they take care of this head。

Mrs. Wang also hated Wang Ren in her heart, but it was not easy to talk about him as an outsider, so she said with a straight face: "Aunt said very much, Ren'er, you first pay some silver out, filial piety hand towels, fire paper are all taken back by Lian'er on credit, your father took a fancy to a pair of boards before his death, it was golden silk nanmu, and he said that he would reward the craftsman with eight hundred taels of silver." ”

Wang Ren's heart sank, thinking that his belongings were only a thousand taels of silver, and the family still had to live after the funeral.

"Auntie, now the family is not as good as before, is it not too public, is it? As for the coffin, it is enough to spend fifty taels of silver to order a pair of plates, so as not to be talked about. ”

Mrs. Wang was displeased, and forcibly said: " The Wang family used to be the family of the princes, how did your father say that he had also done the inspection of the nine provinces, but he didn't dare to bury the scenery, the only thing you can do for him as a son is to satisfy his wishes and let him sleep in a good coffin, besides, the last time I came to see your father, he also said that on the day of the raid, the aunts secretly hid some jewelry that was not stolen, and they were all collected by him, and there were nearly 1,000 taels of silver sold, and our house is not rich now, and the public account sent 200 taels of silver, and I made up 200 taels, and the Xue Mansion also sent 200 taels, plus the jewelry prepared by your father himself was sold, and there were 1,500 taels of silver together, I even have the cost of going out to make a dojo, but there is not enough manpower here, what should I do on the day of the funeral?"

Although the boss in his heart was unwilling, Wang Ren was embarrassed to refute Mrs. Wang's face, besides, the plate had been decided yesterday, and it is estimated that this will be done almost well, this is not another object, there is absolutely no reason to return it.

"What my aunt said is that my nephew is also afraid that the funeral will be too public, attract envy, and then look for my family's affairs. ”

That Mrs. Ru sneered again: "The young master is really exalting himself, the Wang family is only pitiful now, where is the qualification to be hated! It's just that those jewelry are suddenly gone, and the family is waiting for the young master to come home to find it!"

Wang Ren had a ghost in his heart, and he didn't dare to compare with her, so he had to ridicule her for a while, and saw that most of the people who helped were the servants of the Xue Mansion, so he begged: "Auntie, it would be nice if someone could come to Jia Mansion to help." ”

"Alas, how do you know, Sister Qiao'er suddenly disappeared yesterday afternoon, and now no one has been found, Lian'er has been properly arranged here, urgently looking for Sister Qiao'er, and taking everyone away, I'm really anxious to get angry." ”

Mrs. Wang's words were right on Jia Lian's taboo, and she blushed at the moment, and said for a long time: "It's really a disaster, I'm busy here, and I can't care about helping to find it." ”

Aunt Xue had just gone to help the people who were entertaining and mourning, and when she heard that Wang Ren was back, she hurriedly came over and said, "You are back, and your father can't ...... if he wants to see you on his deathbed."

He wiped away tears as he spoke.

This nephew used to rush to Jiafu to flatter, and he didn't look at the Xue family on weekdays, and when Pan'er ate a lawsuit, they took advantage of the fire to rob and loot the Xue family's silver, if they weren't too ruthless, the Xue family wouldn't be unable to take out the silver to help them.

Wang Ren thought about it in his heart, the two aunts sent six hundred taels of silver, and the relatives and friends who came to mourn also had a funeral, and after removing the coffin silver, they would spend at most two or three hundred taels of silver to send their father, and the rest of the silver would have to be spent by their own family.

Refusing to say that he had 1,000 taels of silver, Wang Ren beat his chest and cried: "It's all Ren'er who deserves to die, he failed to fulfill his filial piety to his father, and he also affected the two aunts, but I can't help it, seeing that my father is critically ill, I thought that if I wanted to send a crane to the west and there was no silver, I packed all the valuable jewelry in the family and took it as four hundred taels of silver." ”

"What do you say? Those jewels are worth a thousand taels of silver, and you should take four hundred taels?" Mrs. Ru couldn't care about decency, and hurriedly asked.

Wang Ren cried pretendedly: "I want to be more silver, but others know that you are in a hurry to wait for the silver, where are you willing to give a high price, because it is something hidden when you raid the house, you don't dare to take it to the pawnshop in the capital, so I have to look for a buyer in private, I was also forced to be desperate to make a move, I just hate to sell myself......"

For example, Mrs. thought that Wang Ren was deliberately selling the silver of jewelry, and there was still her only pair of gold bracelets left, and she put it on for nothing, and she couldn't say what she was suffering from, and she cried angrily: "You ruined son, you still have to discount it if you sell your jewelry to bury your son, and this big family still points to those jewelry to live, and you dare to use this kind of money, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder? Woo woo, master, you are so ruthless, how can you live if you leave your concubine behind......

Wang Ren's wife and concubine were busy persuading and forcibly pulling Mrs. Ru away, so as not to make her husband's face unbearable.

When the old housekeeper took a look at the account book, most of the six hundred taels of silver advanced by the two aunts had been spent, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This Wang Ren is really thick-skinned, and immediately knelt in front of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue and cried bitterly: "My aunt also saw it, my nephew is really incompetent, and there is no other way out except to sell himself to bury his father, but the family still doesn't understand the nephew, Rao is like this, all the belongings are collected, and it is not enough for a coffin of silver, what should the nephew do......?"

After all, Aunt Xue was her own aunt, and her heart softened, so she went in to discuss with Xue Baochai, wanting to raise another two hundred taels of silver to add it.

Xue Baochai sneered: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't have said it, after all, this is my mother's maiden family, but who has looted the silver of our Xue family? ”

Thinking that her son is still serving hard labor, and she doesn't know when she will be able to struggle to come home, and her grandson will have to rely on her daughter Baochai to support her in the future, Aunt Xue's heart ached, so she stopped talking and hid to the side to shed tears.

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to help a little more, but Jia Zheng hated Wang Ziteng for harming her brother-in-law's family, and attacked Baoyu again, and released her words mercilessly, saying that the family is not as good as in the past, and it is enough to send two hundred taels of silver, and she is not allowed to make up for it.

cried in vain, and didn't get half of it, so Wang Ren had to call the old housekeeper and ask him to discuss with the owner of the coffin shop to see if he could give a little discount.

"The eldest young master, the coffin originally cost a thousand taels of silver, and the eldest young master said that it is said that when the Xue family sold the coffin shop to them, the plate cost six hundred taels of silver, plus labor costs, but it really didn't make a profit, and people may not be willing to do loss-making business. ”

"I've also heard Xue Nerd say that there was originally a good plate in his shop, which couldn't be bought for a thousand taels of silver, so he gave it to Brother Zhen for burial Qin Keqing. At this time, he remembered the benefits of Xue Pan, Wang Ren muttered with a bitter face: "I think it's still Xue Nerd who is benevolent and righteous enough, and if he still runs a coffin shop, this plate will be sent to my father to sleep in vain." ”

Early the next morning, the coffin shop brought the finished coffin, and Wang Ren had already made up his mind and was only willing to pay half of the silver.

The shopkeeper had never seen such a scoundrel, and he endured his anger and argued with him: "This is the negotiated price, and we only sent it to the processing after making a fixed price, where is the reason for counter-offering at this time? What's more, we didn't ask for much for the sake of the second master, and the original guaranteed price was given to you, and the eldest young master can't let us lose money, right?"

Wang Ren snorted coldly, and said to the people outside the door: "Big guy, I only know that a good plate is only fifty taels of silver, what kind of gold and jade coffin are you, it costs eight hundred taels......?"

Before the words fell, I saw Jia Lian coming with a large group of people, his stomach was already nested with hatred and anger, and when he heard this, the volcano immediately erupted, and regardless of the funeral at home, he ordered Wang'er Xing'er and a group of minions: "Strip off his clothes, beat him with a hundred whips, don't let me see an inch of good skin......"
