Chapter 25: The Nagging Order

"Jianchang, you said that your Uncle Shaotang really let those Jianghu men make guards for the little mute, and also gave them citizenship in the yamen?"

Luo Jianchang is a concubine, his father Luo Jing is in the second room, and his sister-in-law Luo Jianxing died early, and Luo Jianchang became the pillar of the family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut in his generation, whether it is a concubine or a concubine, he can no longer rely on the family's industry to live.

Not long after the division of the sect that year, the second room lost the family business to seventy-seven eighty-eight, and the third room relied on the help of the third room, which allowed them to live in peace.

Luo Jianchang said: "If you see how much Uncle Shaotang cherishes, this is nothing, I don't know how to live for a long time that day, just because I regret to go back to Zhuangzi to live for a few days, there is no little girl's favorite pastel in Zhuangzi, Uncle Shaotang asked me to go to Changping Mansion to buy one hundred and eight pastels and put them in the cherishing house, which is the latest color this year, and it cost more than three hundred taels of silver." ”

More than 300 taels of silver is enough to buy 30 acres of fertile land in Changping.

Luo Jing sighed for a long time, and while drinking the small wine that his son bought to honor him with Luo Wu, he said the same rhetoric.

"When the sect was first divided, thirty acres of fertile land was nothing, and even a grange of four or five hundred acres was not unprecedented. ”

Every time his father talks about the events of the year, Luo Jianchang can't bear to listen to it anymore, such a big family business is not defeated by you and the two uncles, when it comes to these juniors, they only rely on working for the long room and the third room to make a living.

Fortunately, Luo Shao is a kind person, he has never been slow because of the division of the sect, in addition to the salary of more than fifty taels of silver per year in Luo's Zhuangzi, there are also twenty or thirty taels of red envelopes at the end of the year, which is more than Uncle Shaotang, the county prince, not only marries a wife and has children, but also allows his father to drink a little wine every day.

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, but Luo Wu, who comes to Luo Jing every day to drink wine, has a plan.

He was originally a side branch of the Luo family, and after the division of the sect, he was not even a side branch, at most he was surnamed Luo.

"Luo Shaoke has not continued the strings, don't look too high, can he take a fancy to Cuihu?" Mrs. Wuda was very surprised by his proposal.

Mrs. Wuda's maiden surname is Ding, a few years ago, the Yellow River flooded, the countryside was destroyed, her brother Ding Wenlu and sister Ding Cuihu came to Changping to take refuge in her, Ding Wenlu is a talent, Luo Wu is also polite, but all the expenses for studying and learning, never stingy. But for his wife and sister Ding Cuihu, he talked about finding a rich family to marry every once in a while, and he couldn't be the original partner to fill the house.

"Why can't you look at it, your Ding family is also innocent, Wenlu is famous, Cuihu has a good appearance, and he has just been married, marrying Luo Shao as a house, or cheaper for him. ”

Mrs. Wuda's head shook into a drum: "Sanfang is rich, but Luo Shao is a little older than Cuihu, and there is a dumb girl in front of him, by the way, I heard that his teacher offended the emperor and demoted the official, otherwise how could he be transferred to Gansu? ”

Luo Wu sneered and said: "Your women are short-sighted, Zhang Yuanwai of Longhutai, his son has been on alternate for a year, and he has not had an errand, what is wrong with being transferred to Gansu, that is also the county master, besides, his term is three years, and Changping has such a big ancestral business, and it is not dependent on relatives to take care of it." ”

He saw that there were only Mrs. Wu and her daughter Luo Jinhua in the house, so he told what he had heard from Luo Jianchang, and Mrs. Wu Da was surprised: "The little mute is only seven years old, Luo Shao really asked those Jianghu men to allocate one of her as guards? This guard is not as good as a maid and a woman, and it costs dozens of taels of silver a year, right? Six guards are two or three hundred taels of silver, this Luo Shao is really willing, a dumb man, and not a son." ”

Luo Wudao: "Don't underestimate this dumb man, Luo Shao's original wife of the Li family is a famous big salt merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, which of those salt merchants is not a mountain of silver, when the Li family marryed, it was a hundred miles of red makeup, and they will be little mutes in the future." ”

Luo Shao got married soon after he got married, the wedding was held in Changping, Luo Shao's parents were no longer there, and a few days after getting married, Li followed Luo Shao to the capital, and soon after Luo Shao had the opportunity to go to Jiangxi. Therefore, the relatives of the Luo family are not familiar with the Li family, and the deepest impression is the hundred miles of red makeup.

Luo Wu said again: "Isn't Luo Shao afraid of the harsh little mute in the steproom? But if the little mute likes Cuihu, then Luo Shao doesn't follow his daughter's wishes? Don't you forget, your sister has no dowry, do we still have to smash the pot and sell iron to buy her a dowry? Luo Shao has to stay in Changping for at least three months, he can't get out of bed, the little mute always has to be taken care of, if Cuihu can take this opportunity to marry, not only will the dowry be saved, but also a large amount of dowry. ”

Luo Shao loves the little mute so much, how can he care if there is a dowry.

Luo Jinhua on the side opened his mouth wide when he heard this, there are still such fathers in this world? Shouldn't all fathers be like her father, who treats his daughter as a maid all day long?

When it comes to the sister's dowry, Mrs. Wuda is at a loss. When she married into the Luo family, she had a dowry of thirty-six lifts, but she used seventy-seven eighty-eight to supplement the family over the years. My sister is fifteen years old, and she has reached the age of engagement, but her mother's family has no hope, how can she still afford to buy a dowry for her sister, she found someone to say to her sister, and as soon as the other party heard that there was no dowry, she immediately refused.

Now there is not even an old mother at home, relying on her, her daughter, and sister to secretly make needle money for some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and she dare not let people know, so as not to lose Luo Wu's face.

Luo Wu saw that she didn't speak, so he asked his daughter Luo Jinhua to call her aunt Ding Cuihu over.

That Luo Jianchang is just to take care of some miscellaneous things for Luo Shao, not only marrying a wife and having children over the years, but also allowing Luo Jing to have wine and meat for meals.

If Ding Cuihu marries Luo Shao, and Luo Shao has been away from home for many years, then won't the Changping industry be handed over to him, who is a brother-in-law?

He is not only a brother-in-law, he and Luo Shao are both surnamed Luo, and they are an old ancestor.

After listening to the words of his brother-in-law and sister, Ding Cuihu didn't speak for a long time. The family affairs that her sister told her before were either the concubines of the family, but they were small families like her brother-in-law, and their eyes were fixed on her dowry. There are also those who don't want a dowry, but the man is almost fifty years old, and she doesn't want to, so her sister doesn't mention it again.

This Luo Shao is not only rich, but also a jinshi and an official, can such a good family affair really be her turn?

When she heard that she was going to get close to Luo Shao's daughter first, she retreated and shook her head incessantly, the little girl was spoiled like this, and she didn't know how tricky she was.

Mrs. Wu was about to open her mouth to persuade her, but Luo Jinhua hurriedly said to her: "Auntie, don't worry, that little mute is only seven years old, I'll help you get her." ”

As he spoke, Luo Jinhua looked at his father: "You go and talk to the second room, let Luo Jianchang find an opportunity, let me go to Luo's Zhuangzi to play with that little mute." ”

She doesn't want to be like her mother, marrying a man who has no interest and relies on women to eat, her eyes are broken when she does needlework, and she shouts and scolds if she doesn't like it, she wants to be like those real wives, someone waits and someone calls.

Aunt Ding Cuihu's opportunity is also her opportunity, and she must seize this opportunity.
