Chapter 66: The Landlord's Mother-in-law Chooses a Son-in-law (15)
"And he is too good, the Wang family's family is high, and after thinking about it for his mother, he still thinks that he is not a good match. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info If you don't pop out of my belly, you are the daughter of the sister-in-law of the Zheng family, and you are a good match with him. Widow Guo unknowingly confided in her daughter.
"Mother, what are you talking about? What is the reason why your belly pops out? What am I worse than anyone? I am the daughter of Aunt Wang, and I am no better than me. Besides, your daughter is now making a lot of money, and she has bought land, slaves, and mansions in the town, and when she waits for tomorrow, we will move and live in the town. ”
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about! This is going to make my mother laugh and lose her big teeth. Widow Guo patted Jing Lian's back: "Who did you learn it from? Your father and I are both honest people, and you girl has oil on your mouth, why is it not like us?"
"I'm not bragging!" Jing Xiao called Widow Guo's words so excitedly that she blew her eyebrows, she let go of the hand that was around Widow Guo, took out a few deeds from the bulging purse around her waist, and patted them in Widow Guo's hand.
She grabbed the candlestick with her other hand and shone it in front of Widow Guo: "Take a closer look, this deed is stamped with an official seal, but it can't be faked." You can't read or write, but you always know the official seal of the yamen, right? This was stamped for me by the county magistrate and the lord Wang of the Commercial Taxation Institute. ”
"Oh my God! Widow Guo's eyes widened, and she pushed Jing Lin angrily: "Hurry up and read it to your mother, what is written on it?"
"Generally speaking, I, Zhao Xiangxing, have a two-entry house covering an area of 50 acres in the west of the town, and the few hectares of fertile land around the house, and the small hill facing the house, are also mine. Well, this stack is a deed of sale, and I bought six house slaves and eight guards to guard the house in Gong's Ya Shop. ”
"How much does this cost?!" Widow Guo only felt that the pieces of paper in her hand weighed like a thousand catties, and she couldn't hold it, "My son, didn't you send all your monthly money home to me? Where did you get the money? Didn't you steal the master's house?!"
"Mother, don't talk nonsense. This is all my hard-earned money from selling my body, and the prince I serve is a loose hand, and he usually likes to reward us girls who are capable of doing things. Even the girls who burn the fire in the kitchen in the Hou Mansion can wear silk and silver, and the dishes and chopsticks we use here are also made of silver. The Hou Mansion is rich. What the prince rewarded me with were all valuable things. I sold them for silver bills, and deposited them in the bank, and after deducting the expenses for buying land, houses, and slaves, I had more than 3,000 taels left. It's enough for our two to spend a lifetime. ”
When Jing Xiao said this, he was also giving Widow Guo a vaccination. Xiangxing is an aunt to the prince, she always has to tell her, it is better to tell her little by little, let her accept it slowly.
Widow Guo's hands trembled a little, and she looked at Jing Lin suspiciously: "No matter how rich the Hou Mansion is, it won't reward people like this, right?" I heard you say that there are two or three hundred people in the Hou Mansion, large and small. If everybody were rewarded like that......"
"No matter how thick the Hou Mansion is, it can't help but toss like this. Big girl, tell me honestly, how did you get this money, why does the prince want to reward you?" Widow Guo asked Jing Lin solemnly.
She looked at her daughter's flower-like face, and she actually had a number in her heart. But she didn't want to believe it, so she had to listen to Jing Lin tell her herself.
Jing Xiao didn't expect Widow Guo's mind to be so keen, she looked at Widow Guo's face deeply, and sighed: "Didn't you already guess it, what else do you want me to say?"
"My poor son!" Widow Guo threw away a bunch of deeds, pounced on Jing Lian, hugged her and cried: "The prince who killed that day!
"My good girl was ruined by that brute. What is the use of more silver? My son's innocence is gone, how can I find a good family in the future? I don't want to drown in the spittle stars!"
"Thief, you don't have long eyes, my son is already so difficult, why do you have to cut off her back road? What, can't you come at me, an old woman? It is me, the mourning star, who deserves to suffer, what is the matter with my son? My eldest girl, what can you do? Mother's heart is broken! Woo wow wow!"
Widow Guo cried as she spoke, and when she talked about the back, she choked up. One said that she was the one who should be punished, that she was sorry for Jing Lone, and that she should not have been sold back then.
Jing Lone's heart made her cry sour. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, patted Widow Guo's back, and said softly: "Don't cry! I'm fine. Isn't it just an aunt for someone, what's this?"
"Many girls in the capital have been aunts for others, and when they get money and go home, they still marry well. I can also pick a good son-in-law for you. If you are not satisfied with Wang Zihui, we will pick something else. Tell me, who did you choose for me when you went to town today?"
"But we're not the capital here after all!" Widow Guo hiccuped and burst into tears: "If you let the villagers know that you have been an aunt and have lost your innocence, who else will you marry?"
"Where is it so serious that you say. Jing Xiao smiled: "Others like to say let them go, let's live our own lives." I'll see who dares to run in front of me and talk nonsense!"
"A dead girl with a big heart!" Widow Guo wiped away her tears and said: "How many years have you not come back? Can you know how terrible people's hearts and rumors are? Five years ago, in Liujia Village on the edge of the town, a girl who was an aunt to the county lord offended the county lady and was sent home, and hanged herself within a few days. Why? It's not every day that people come to her house and scold her, throw feces, throw rotten eggs, or whatever. Even her parents, parents, and brothers scolded her together with outsiders and wanted to drive her away. And three years ago......"
"Come on, don't talk about it. I'm not one of those fragile little girls, who dares to come to my house and scold me, throw feces, throw rotten eggs, and drive me away, I let people blow them away with two sticks. The county magistrate knows that I have done things in the Hou Mansion, and he also has a relationship with the Gong family, so he is good to me. ”
"He also said that if something happens to me in the future, even if I go to the county government to find him, if there is a disturbance at the door, he will personally bring the officials and guards to the door to support me. Otherwise, they will all be tied up and put in prison. "These, of course, are all made up by Jing Jing.
However, she has soul power, and it is not difficult to command a county lord to do things for her. No matter where they go, the people are always afraid of the officials.
If someone who was really not afraid of death ran to her house to scold her and drive her away, she closed the door and let the county lord and the official go. If you don't kill those greedy and black-hearted people who rob money and goods through rumors and force people to death, you have to make them peel off a layer of skin and eat pain, knowing that she is not something they can afford to provoke.
Thinking about it this way, with the tiger skin of the county lord, she should be idle and carefree in the future. Now, there's just a husband left. She was very satisfied with Wang Zihui, but her old lady didn't seem to care much about him.
What can I do?
