The fourth lady glanced at Xu Lizi and nodded, "Then invite that little lady to come over tomorrow to play, even if you are married, you should have your own communication." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Xu Lizi nodded with a smile, got up and said, "Mother, I'll let someone send a letter to Lin Niang." ”

The fourth lady smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, go to the kitchen after delivering the letter, see what good ingredients are in the kitchen, and let them add a hot pot, your sister likes to eat pots in winter." Then help me send Brother Xuan to Sister Rong'er, she is making clothes for Brother Xuan. ”

Xu Lizi responded with a smile, and led Brother Xuan out briskly.

Zhen Wanyi quipped: "The mother and the eighth sister-in-law get along so well, the daughter is jealous." ”

The fourth wife's smile faded, nodded Zhen Wanyi's forehead, and hated her: "You, you don't talk about the door, but what's the matter." ”

Zhen Wanyi leaned back and dodged, rubbing her forehead, "What's wrong with my daughter?"

"Do you really think that your eighth sister-in-law is simply thinking about Brother Ye? If Brother Ye is not the eldest grandson of the eldest house, she will be so positive? If Brother Ye has no talent for reading, she will think about marrying her good sister? Say how many times have you said that when you look at people and things, don't just look at the surface, you have to think about it more, most of the things in this world are unprofitable and can't be early.

Li Niang is a new daughter-in-law, and she is the granddaughter of the Wei family, the daughter of the Xu family, who grew up in such a big family, and it has been in their bones since they were young to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Na Lin Niang should be a powerful person who can hold things up, otherwise she wouldn't have introduced her. ”

Zhen Wanyi sighed, looking at her mother and Xu Lizi getting along with each other with a smile, it turned out that her mother was so dissatisfied with her. "No matter what, as long as Na Lin Niang is a good one, Brother Ye will not suffer if she marries her, you can't care about Brother Ye for the rest of your life, his business is not to rely on his daughter-in-law to fight with his sister-in-law in the end, you can find a more powerful daughter-in-law for Brother Ye, and it will be easier in the future." ”

The fourth lady also sighed, "I also thought the same way so I didn't refuse." At the beginning, I thought that it was best to marry a second daughter-in-law, who had a lower status, a soft temperament, and was willing to bow down and be small, but after more than a month of temptation, looking at the appearance of your eighth sister-in-law, I am afraid that I want to take care of the house early.

It's not that I don't let her take care of it, it's just that she is the second daughter-in-law after all, and our house should still belong to your cousin Zhen in the end. But there are only two brothers in the family, and there are two brothers, and the people are weak and should be twisted into a rope, how can they easily divide the family? But this unrest in the back house is the source of chaos. ”

Zhen Wanyi's eyes widened in surprise, what did her mother do during this time, how could Xu Lizi have the idea of fighting for the right to be a housekeeper? She didn't believe that if her mother was in charge of the house, Xu Liniang would dare to have such a mind, and now that she has such a thought, it must be because her mother has done something that made her misunderstand.

"Since my mother wants to be the housekeeper of Liniang, as long as she is a second daughter-in-law, why didn't she tell her early? I think the eighth sister-in-law is also a smart person, and she will definitely not make the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law tense for such a thing in our house. As you said, the eighth sister-in-law is the granddaughter of the Wei family and the daughter of the Xu family, so she was raised as a housemother, maybe the eighth sister-in-law is just a subconscious behavior, not that she really wants to be a housekeeper and wants to fight with the sixth sister-in-law. There are a lot of eight sisters-in-law's dowries, and she is not so shallow-eyed. ”

The fourth wife frowned and thought about it, then looked at Zhen Wanyi with relief in her eyes, took Zhen Wanyi's hand and said happily: "Originally, you were only a heartless and thoughtless person, but now it seems that you have really grown up and know how to use your brain, which is very good, and my mother can rest assured." ”

Zhen Wanyi pursed her lips and smiled: "My daughter is now in charge of a huge palace, and hundreds of people have to worry about eating, drinking, clothing, and housing, how can she not use her brain." Now that your daughters have grown up, you can rest assured. ”

The fourth lady smiled and patted Zhen Wanyi's hand, got up and took a long box from the dark compartment of the kang cabinet and handed it to Zhen Wanyi, "I was going to go to your house tomorrow and hand it to you, but it just so happened that you came today, so take this box of things back." ”

Zhen Wanyi thought it was the jewelry that her mother specially gave her, and she was stunned when she opened it curiously, and she was stunned when she opened it, and when she picked it up, she saw that there were 20 silver tickets with a denomination of 1,000 and 20,000 taels of Hui Pass number, what does this mean?

"Mother, what is this for? I can't ask for this silver ticket. "I'm going to hand it back.

The fourth wife took the silver ticket and put it back in the box and closed it, and handed it to Zhen Wanyi, "This is sent by your filial cousin, and this is also a little bit of your uncle's family's heart, you take it." ”

When the fourth wife said this, Zhen Wanyi was even more unlikely to accept it, "What do you mean by cousin Xiao, don't you think I'm a cousin?" Isn't it too polite for the family to share like this, even if I am an outsider, I have never received such a gift." I can't accept it anyway. ”

The fourth lady glared, "I just said that you have grown a little, why are you confused." This year, your uncle's family went to sea three times, a total of fifteen ships, the first four, the second five, the third time there were six, every time I went to sea, I took the prince's post to find Lord Hu, and Lord Hu specially escorted your uncle's house every time to be safe all the way.

This year, your uncle's family is full of money, and your father just invested 1,000 taels and came back with a net profit of 10,000 taels of silver, otherwise how could your eighth brother's marriage be so decent this time, how dare Brother Ye and Sister Rong's mother bring it to the capital?"

Zhen Wanyi still didn't want to accept it, "That father invested the principal, how can we get this without doing anything." Don't talk about that post, Hu Dahai is an old man next to the prince, and this affection doesn't need to be sent with silver at all. ”

The fourth lady sighed, "Yes, we don't talk about Lord Hu, only about you, your dowry back then was only 10,000 taels, even if you have earned some in the past few years, but you have a grange in your hands, and you don't have a few chews a year by collecting rent, you have three children now, and there will be more in the future, and when the children are big, the consumption will be great, how can the dowry come when you grow up?

Seeing Zhen Wanyi's contemplative expression, the fourth lady slowed down her voice, "The reason why Mother is next is to think that you and the prince can be more relaxed in the future." Many families in Jiangnan are officials and businessmen, and they combine to protect each other's voyages, so that they can go a long way. Your sixth brother and starbrother are not business materials, and I don't want your father to do that hard work when he is old, so wouldn't it be good to be able to cooperate with your uncle's family? If you don't take it, your uncles should have an idea. ”

Zhen Wanyi understood what the fourth wife said, but taking money like this is always like a transaction, and Qi Rong didn't help the Yu family for money.
