Volume 1, Chapter 36: Help
Ma Chengteng got up one thing first and asked Yueyao: "Yueyao, you tell your uncle, have you been wronged in the Lian family?" "Although from the time I saw Yueyao to the present, Yueyao has a good complexion. But the maturity and stability of such a young child are not possessed by ordinary children.
Yueyao didn't reply immediately, she was struggling with her abdomen, how could she tell her uncle what happened to her family.
Ma Chengteng thought that Yue Yao didn't dare to say it, and even decided that the Lian family treated Yue Yao poorly: "Yue Yao, say, is it the people from Lian Mansion who bullied you." You tell your uncle, and your uncle will support you. ”
Yue Yao pondered for a moment before saying, "Uncle, since I came back from Jiangnan, I have been copying the Book of Filial Piety, and I don't care about anything else. But some time ago, I found that the servants brought back from Jiangnan, except for a few maids who were still serving in the Lanxi Courtyard, were all sent out. The maid next to me also told me that my nurse was very close to my aunt's dowry. Saying this, Yueyao hesitated again, glanced up at Ma Chengteng, and saw that Ma Chengteng was thoughtful before continuing: "Later, I learned that my aunt's dowry wanted to know how much family assets I still had on me through my nurse. Yueyao said very vaguely, and did not directly name Mo Shi for seeking property.
Ma Chengteng didn't understand it for a while; "What kind of family assets?"
Yue Yao's face was gloomy: "Uncle, my father was seriously ill that day, and I knew that I couldn't survive that level." Divide the family assets into two parts. One is in the public middle school, and the other is left for me. When my father was dying, he told me that this $1$ book$ read$ novel (.( yb)(d)(u).) The pen and silver are for me to marry Tingzheng in the future. ”
Ma Chengteng glanced at Yue Yao and said strangely, "How much silver did your father leave you?" "Ma Chengteng is not thinking about Yueyao's money. He wanted to know how much silver it would take to make Mo's heart. In Ma Chengteng's memory, Mrs. Lian seems to have a good reputation.
Yue Yao didn't hide it from Ma Chengteng: "It's about 100,000 taels." My father told me that the wealth of the second room was divided into two parts. It's all the same silver. That is to say, there are more than 100,000 pieces of silver left to the government. Yueyao didn't hide it from Ma Chengteng, and she also believed that Ma Chengteng would not have the idea of playing this bit of silver. In addition, it is also to eliminate the possibility of handing over this silver to Ma Chengteng for safekeeping.
Ma Chengteng's face changed slightly: "Yueyao, do you have any evidence?" This is not a nonsense. "Without proof, that's disrespectful. But in his heart, Ma Chengteng already believed in Yueyao.
Yue Yao shook her head: "The nurse has already admitted that the flower lady is asking her how much silver money I have left." Uncle, I don't believe it either. But, but ......" Speaking of this, Yueyao's eyes coaxed.
The reason why Yue Yao said these words to Ma Chengteng was actually useful. Let my uncle know that Mo is such a greedy woman, and when her grandmother dies, she will propose to get the dowry back. Uncle will definitely agree.
Ma Chengteng was very angry at the time. The idea of beating his niece's wealth. It's really disgusting. The loss of the Lianjia is still the home of the scholarly family. The house of the shit book. He finally understood, and Yue Yao wrote in a dignified manner: "Then what are you going to do?" "Even the eldest lady of the family really has a face, and even the two orphans have a little bit of silver, which is really hateful.
Yue Yao naturally had an idea: "Uncle, I want to deposit these silver coins in Huitong Bank." Uncle, do you think so? Seeing that Ma Chengteng was silent, Yue Yao hurriedly explained: "Uncle, I originally wanted to hand it over to you for safekeeping. It's just that I'm worried that if they really know about it, they will say that my uncle is not good. I don't want this to happen, and then it will damage my uncle's reputation. Yue Yao believed in Ma Chengteng. Ma Chengteng has a noble temperament, don't be a hundred thousand taels of silver, even one million taels, he won't be greedy for ink. But she never dared to put this money here with Ma Chengteng. If her uncle had another accident two years later, she wouldn't be able to get the money back. Uncle is Gao Jie, but the aunt, this woman doesn't say anything.
Ma Chengteng said with a smile: "You girl, people just deposit the silver in the money bank to exchange for silver tickets." Do you still want to deposit the silver ticket into the bank? "You don't have to think about it to know that what my brother-in-law gave to Yueyao must be a silver ticket. Where will the silver ticket of Huitong Bank be deposited into Huitong Bank.
Yue Yao nodded hurriedly: "Uncle, I plan to rent a cabinet for ten years." Put the silver ticket and a few other things in the cabinet. In this way, there is really a way out. "Yueyao didn't plan to hide it from Ma Chengteng, she still had to store things.
Ma Chengteng looked at Yue Yao strangely: "Something else?" What else do you want to store? ”
Yue Yao entered the room and took out the Night Pearl from the box. It was originally night, and as soon as the night pearl was taken out, the room was much brighter: "I'm going to store this." Uncle, this pearl of the night is my mother's dowry. If they had known, I might not have been able to save it. ”
Ma Chengteng knew that his mother gave his sister a night pearl as a dowry. If such a treasure is given to a daughter as a dowry, you must tell your son. At that time, Ma Chengteng agreed. It's just that it's the first time he's seen this pearl of the night.
Ma Chengteng looked at the night pearl and thought about Yueyao's words. That Mo didn't even let go of a little silver on Yueyao's body, if he knew that there was such a priceless night pearl, he would have to find a way to get it. At that time, the niece's situation in the Lian family will be men.
Ma Chengteng nodded: "Since you have decided, I will take a break the day after tomorrow, and I will take you to Huitong Bank." When the time comes, this will be done. It also saves you from worrying. "Such a treasure is still an insurance to hide. Not to mention Mo's, even other nobles know and want to keep it for themselves.
Yue Yao really didn't know that her uncle would agree so heartily, and she was relieved at the moment: "Uncle, Yue Yao has caused you trouble." ”
What Yue Yao didn't know was that Ma Chengteng agreed to her so readily, without the slightest doubt that it had something to do with the conversation between the two just now. Yueyao is proficient in painting, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. An eight-year-old must put all his energy into learning these things, where is there time to focus on other trivial matters.
Ma Chengteng is good and elegant, but after so many years in officialdom, he can still immediately distinguish the truth from the falsehood of an eight-year-old child. No matter how many things there are, Yue Yao can't make them up out of thin air. Even the nurse is involved.
Since the people of the Lian family have paid these attentions, it is certain to take some precautions. Originally, he wanted to keep it for Yueyao. But Yueyao's words also make sense. In case these people know, the reputation will be damaged or secondary, I am afraid that these people will not be cheeky, and it will be difficult for him to take care of Buddha Yueyao: "It's my uncle who didn't take care of you." If you have anything to tell your uncle in the future, yes. "He can't interfere in the internal affairs of the Lianfu. And this matter can't be said, no matter what, Yueyao is a member of the Lian family, and she can't say bad things about her family. A book that can be turned away from even his own family is spurned by everyone. After Yueyao, she will have to rely on the big house of the Lian family, and she can't tear her face with them for the time being. All they can do is to be guarded.
Yue Yao nodded again and again: "I will definitely tell my uncle if there is something." "In the future, if she is calculated by Mohs, she will definitely not hide it. When the time comes, you will definitely have to ask your uncle for help.
In the end, it was the long entourage next to him who said that it was getting late and it was time to go back. Ma Chengteng found out that it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
Ma Cheng vacated the Begonia Garden, so he summoned Ma Yuan to ask about the situation. Hearing the old lady's attitude, her face softened a lot. Anyway, even the old lady is still a good one. It's just that Mo Shi is really, even a little private room in the niece's hand has an idea, and it is extremely shameless.
Yueyao was able to tell Ma Chengteng these words because she trusted him. Ma Chengteng naturally couldn't tell Ma Yuan about these things about the Lian family. Ma Chengteng thought for a while, but this problem was still unsolved. I can only take my niece over in the future. The only thing I am glad about now is that Yue Yao has already decided on a family affair. Lian Dongfang and Mo Shi can't interfere in Yueyao's family affairs, which is the only good thing.
After Yueyao waited for Ma Chengteng to leave, she entered the east wing. Seeing that Brother Zheng is still working hard, I am very relieved. Dragged Brother Zheng to the backyard. Pointing to the rows of apricot trees, he said that this was a tree planted by his mother. talked a lot in detail, and Brother Zheng listened attentively. Finally, he said: "Sister, wait for next year, I want to eat the apricot blossom cake made by my sister." ”
Yue Yao smiled so much that her eyes were bent into the moon: "Okay." Having solved this important matter in her heart, Yueyao felt that her whole person was much lighter.
Mother Deng looked at Yueyao's frowning brows that had been tightly locked, and finally relaxed, and her heart was also relaxed. The girl had been thinking about placing those things in place, and now that her uncle had agreed, things would be easy.
In Lianfu, Yuehuan followed her aunt to learn needlework. After studying for a while, I poked myself a lot of needles. Some impatient, he threw the needle and thread on the table along with the embroidery.
Aunt Su put down the robe she made for her son: "What's wrong?" "Aunt Su has long known that her daughter can't stand it before. Some are impetuous, and they can't help everything.
The moon ring was silent. It's not easy for her to tell Aunt Su that she was sneered at by Yue Bing again today. That Yuebing is better when there are people, and when there is no one, she is simply a girl. But I can't quarrel with her, Yuehuan is really aggrieved.
Aunt Su's face was gloomy, she actually knew how to do it. I wanted to say something, but looking at my daughter's aggrieved look, I swallowed what I wanted to say: "Fourth girl, if you don't want to do it, go and rest." ”
Yuehuan also wants to go to sleep. But thinking that there is nothing in the house, I will go to sleep now, and when I wake up in the middle of the night, I can't sleep in the bed, so I can only stare blankly at the top of the bed. It's better to stay here. After thinking for a while, he said, "Auntie, the third girl can go back to her uncle's house." What about my uncle? ”
Aunt Su learned that the uncle Yuehuan said was her brother, and her face changed greatly: "Fourth girl, you remember, your uncle is Madame's brother." Remember, you can't say the wrong thing again. Aunt Su didn't explain to her, but asked Yuehuan to keep in mind that she must not say this again in the future. I can't say anything about the maids around me.
Yuehuan kept her head down, and she didn't say a word until she returned to the house.
After Aunt Su waited for the moon ring to leave, she couldn't help but shed tears. But there is no way, this is fate, this is fate!
