When Yueyao arrived at the main room, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the layout of the main room. The furnishings of Zhuang Ruolan's house are not as rich as Tang's, but these furnishings are antique, and every thing is quietly luxurious, and they are all priceless, but they are introverted and subtle.

Yueyao still likes this kind of delicate and low-key wealth, she is really not used to showing her wealth so openly, it is different from her aesthetic concept.

Yue Yao handed the melon leaf chrysanthemum picked on the road to Caiyi, and Caiyi married the vase and put it away. Zhuang Ruolan walked out, looked at Yueyao's expression and said with a smile, "What's wrong." ”

Yue Yao never hid and pinched in front of Zhuang Ruolan, and after talking about the matter for a while, she asked, "Is the second cousin-in-law very rich?" Yueyao only knew that the Tang family was the eldest daughter of the Tang family, a wealthy merchant in the capital, and then listened to the fine silk talk about the Tang family's dowry, and she also asked more about the rest. But this time, I was shocked by the furnishings in Tang's house. The furnishings in Tang's house are no less than 30,000 or 40,000 gold, which shows how rich Tang's dowry is.

Zhuang Ruolan didn't hide it from Yueyao, and said with a smile: "The Tang family is also one of the richest families in the capital, and this also has the credit of your second cousin-in-law. ”

Zhuang Ruolan didn't think much about it at first, but later went to Tang's house and found that Tang's dowry was even more generous than she imagined, and muttered in her heart. Later, people inquired carefully to find out that there was a reason why Tang's net worth was so thick. The first is that the Tang family has prepared a rich dowry for the Tang family, the second is that the Tang family has accumulated a lot of money for so many years to help the Tang family do business, and the third is that the father-in-law helped the Tang family find a sought-after business, and the father-in-law did not ask the Tang family for payment, and later the Tang family gave this money to the Tang family. Adding up to the total, Zhuang Ruolan estimated that Tang's dowry should be at least 200,000 taels of silver.

Tang's marriage is so rich, Zhuang Ruolan is not envious and jealous of Tang's, Tang's except for marrying Zhuang is rich, and Ma Yue will be like this for the rest of his life, and her husband has a good future, and Zhuang Ruolan feels that Tang's marriage to Zhuang is a good thing for their husband and wife. After the Tang family's dowry is rich, there will be a lot less disputes, at least the family will be separated in the future, and it will not be turned upside down for a little silver.

Yue Yao sighed, and stopped continuing the topic, she was just strange that she was not interested in how many marriages the Tang family had.

Zhuang Ruolan smiled when she looked at Yueyao's appearance, this child has never put money in his eyes. This is probably like a father-in-law. However, Yueyao is better than her father-in-law, Yueyao will make money, and she will not spend money indiscriminately.

After Ke Yue came out, she reached out to hug Yue Yao as soon as she saw her. Ke Yue likes Yueyao very much, and every time Yueyao hugs her, she doesn't withdraw her hand.

Yueyao played with Ke Yue for a while, Zhuang Ruolan asked the nurse to hug Ke Yue down, and said, "Raising grandma will come over tomorrow, do you want to study with your cousin and them." "Let Yueyao learn from her grandmother is what Ma Chengteng meant. According to Zhuang Ruolan's opinion, Yueyao doesn't need to study with her mother anymore. It's just that she still has to convey her father-in-law's words, as for whether she learns or not, it's up to Yueyao.

Yue Yao was surprised and asked, "I remember that Cousin Ying said that Grandma and Mr. have been invited a long time ago, why are you here now?" ”

Zhuang Ruolan took the teacup, took a sip of the tea with the teacup, took a sip and put it down, and said, "This is what your uncle meant, saying that when you are ready, let you learn together." ”

Yue Yao shook her head with a smile and said, "Uncle is so good to me. Cousin-in-law, I won't study. I learned the rules from my grandmother for two years in Lianfu, and my grandmother said that I learned the rules well, so I won't waste any more time. "She doesn't learn the rules best, but she can definitely get the hang of it.

Zhuang Ruolan said: "In addition to raising grandma, I also invited three gentlemen, one is dedicated to teaching girls to read and learn calligraphy, one is dedicated to teaching your two cousins Nuhong, and the other is dedicated to teaching various skills. "The so-called skills are nothing more than piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Zhuang Ruolan only invited the gentleman who taught the girl to read and write and be a female celebrity at first, and the other gentleman was added at the request of Ma Chengteng. Although Zhuang Ruolan felt that it was unnecessary, she naturally did it when her family asked her to do so.

Yue Yao opened her mouth, "Reading and learning words?" "Lu Ying is fourteen years old this year, and Ma Linlin is also twelve years old, why are the two of them only studying and learning words now.

Zhuang Ruolan said: "Well, the two of them learn very little things, and they are very miscellaneous, so let them learn a little more with Mr. If you don't learn from your husband, I'll let you talk to your father-in-law. Zhuang Ruolan was very sure that Yue Yao would not agree to study with her. Yueyao's level can be a gentleman, where do you need to learn from Mr.

Zhuang Ruolan looked at Yueyao, and then thought about Ma Linlin, and had to sigh, the two of them are really the difference between clouds and clouds!

Yue Yao thought for a while and said, "Cousin-in-law, I'll tell my uncle about this matter myself!" "It doesn't seem good to let my cousin say it's not good.

Zhuang Ruolan nodded and said, "My cousin-in-law knows your ability, it doesn't matter if you don't study with your grandmother and husband, but from tomorrow onwards, you have to follow me to learn housekeeping." "Yueyao is now eleven years old, and it's time to learn how to take care of the housework.

Yueyao readily agreed.

It was also a coincidence that Yueyao received a letter from Mingzhu that afternoon, complaining about the tediousness and fatigue of the housekeeper.

Since Ping's said that he could help her with housekeeping, she took this opportunity to let Mingzhu learn housekeeping with her. These days, Ping has always taken Mingzhu with him and let her watch him take care of the housework. After studying for more than ten days, I also began to let Mingzhu take over some small things.

Mingzhu started to follow the side just to study, but now he takes over the cooking, although it is a trivial matter, but Mingzhu still has a headache. She felt that she had made a fool of herself, if she hadn't said such a sentence casually, where would she have done such trivial things.

Yue Yao smiled and replied to Mingzhu.

Mingzhu read Yueyao's letter and was happy, "Bai Yi, Yueyao said that she also learned housekeeping from the young lady of the Ma family, and said that she would compare with me to see who would do well at that time?" ”

Bai Yi smiled: "That girl can't think about retreating." "Mingzhu has been complaining for the past few days, saying that it doesn't matter. Bai Yi was really worried that Mingzhu would pick on him halfway.

Mingzhu was displeased, "You know how to look down on people." When am I going to give up, and I only complain twice? "She never thought she would really not do it. If Yueyao knows about it, she will say that she is impatient and indefinite.

When Mingzhu was dealing with housework this day, the corners of her mouth were always raised. Ping looked at it and asked with a smile, knowing that it was Yueyao who told Mingzhu that the two competed, and smiled, there are really many ways for Yueyao to do this.

Thinking of Yue Yao, Ping couldn't help but think of the method that Yue Yao said. Maybe, you can really give it a try. Ping thought so, and became more and more interested when teaching Mingzhu. With Yueyao in the back, Mingzhu didn't feel tired.

The nurturing grandmother and Mr. Ma Fu invited finally arrived. Zhuang Ruolan formulated the learning time of Ma Linlin and Lu Ying: one hour to learn words, one hour to learn rules, one hour to learn female red, and half an hour to learn the six arts. In Zhuang Ruolan's cognition, learning characters and rules are the most important, followed by female red, those things of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all embroidered pillows, which are useless.

Ma Linlin complained bitterly after studying for a day, and said again and again that she would never learn anything other than the six arts. But what Ma Linlin didn't know was that the husband who taught her to learn calligraphy also went to Zhuang Ruolan, saying that she couldn't teach such a student.

After listening to Mr. Zhuang Ruolan's words, the look on her face was colorful. In the end, Zhuang Ruolan tripled the offering, and the gentleman reluctantly agreed.

Then, the gentleman who taught the rules and the embroidery girl came, and the only one who didn't come was the gentleman who taught the six arts.

Zhuang Ruolan laughed angrily, "I really haven't seen such a lady." ”

Caiyun and Caiyi were also silent. If it weren't for the gentleman, they wouldn't have believed that the eldest girl could only write her own name, and she didn't recognize a few words, even if they knew a lot of words with the girl.

Zhuang Ruolan touched her forehead, Ma Linlin's condition was even worse than she imagined, "I went to the front yard and invited the eldest young master over, and I said that I had something important to look for him." "After Ma Linlin gets married, she will definitely lose the face of the Ma family, and she will definitely affect her daughter when the time comes. If she doesn't think about herself, she has to be ruthless for the sake of her daughter. Therefore, Zhuang Ruolan made a ruthless leap to rectify Ma Linlin, even if there was a conflict with the Cheng family.

Ma Peng hurried over and asked, "What happened?" Is it unwell? ”

When Ma Peng heard that Ma Linlin didn't even know a few words, his first feeling was that it was impossible, although their family was not a scholarly family, it was impossible to raise an illiterate daughter! If this is to be spread, the face of the Ma family will be lost.

Zhuang Ruolan said: "I also hope it is fake. ”

Ma Peng's face turned ugly.

Zhuang Ruolan said what she meant, "Fortunately, I found it in time, and I must detain her to learn the rules and regulations in the past two years, otherwise it will be difficult to talk about family affairs." What Zhuang Ruolan said was quite tactful.

Ma Peng said with some guilt: "I didn't want you to be tired, but I didn't expect you to have to work." "This matter must be handled by Zhuang Ruolan, and he is not very familiar with these.

Zhuang Ruolan said with a smile: "I mean, I have to let my father know about this matter." Daddy orders, and I'm good to act. She is not afraid of offending Cheng and Ma Linlin, what she is worried about is that when Ma Chengteng comes forward to interfere, then nothing can be done at that time.

Ma Peng stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'll tell my father now." ”

Ma Peng told Ma Chengteng about Ma Linlin's performance on the first day, "Dad, Mr. Wu said that the only thing my sister can write is her name, but the words she writes are like earthworms. Mr. Tian said that his sister's rules and etiquette were all nonsense, and she choked with Mr. Tian in class; The embroidery lady said that her sister was impatient, and she cut the cloth in less than a quarter of an hour. ”

Ma Chengteng was so angry that his face was blue.

Ma Peng took the opportunity to tell Zhuang Ruolan's meaning, "Dad, my sister is twelve years old this year, and she is about to say goodbye, this time she must work hard." ”

Ma Chengteng nodded and said, "This matter will be handed over to your daughter-in-law." ”

Ma Peng said Zhuang Ruolan's concerns, Ma Chengteng waved his hand and said, "If she dares not to do it, the family law will serve." ”
