Chapter 55: Wanted
Second Mrs. Cheng walked into the house, and the servants and girls were busy taking it.
"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, go and rest...."
She thought of something and hurriedly looked back and smiled.
When I turned my head, there was no one behind me.
"People have left early, and you still need to worry about your mother!" Cheng Qiniang said, shook her hand and went to the door first.
Cheng Siniang, Cheng Wuniang, and the two concubines all respectfully waited for Cheng Second Lady to enter the door before following up.
"Madame has eaten and drunk." A concubine said, holding tea.
"yes, it's hard to be gracious." Second Mrs. Cheng smiled and took the tea.
"I don't know who it's for!" Cheng Qiniang said.
"No matter whose love it is, they are indispensable for me." Second Mrs. Cheng smiled, "The love of our Cheng family is indispensable." ”
Cheng Qiniang pouted and didn't speak.
"What does it matter if you rely on someone's love, anyway, me." Second Mrs. Cheng sat down, leaned on a few points, and patted herself drunk, "I have a firm foothold in Beijing, and you..."
She stretched out her hand and pointed at Cheng Siniang, Cheng Wuniang, and Qi Niang.
"You sisters can also talk about good people."
Hearing this, Cheng Siniang and Wuniang hurriedly lowered their heads with a little shyness to avoid, and the two concubines were very happy.
"Ma'am, has anyone proposed?" They couldn't help but ask, "That's too fast, isn't it?" ”
"Quick?" Second Mrs. Cheng smiled, "It's not fast, but I can't grab it, let me tell you, in the past few days, there have been three families with this meaning, let's four mothers and five mothers, even seven mothers have been asked, wait for the master to inquire well." ”
The daughters can marry a good family, that is, the wish of these two concubines for a lifetime has come to an end, and they all join hands and chant Buddha when they hear the words.
"It's all Mrs. To's blessing. It's been a lot of work for them. The two said. urged Cheng Siniang and Wuniang to thank him.
The two daughters stepped forward with a little shyness to thank their mother.
"I don't have to rely on her to marry!"
Cheng Qiniang, who had been quiet and didn't speak, couldn't help but stand up and shouted at this time. Turned around and ran away.
The two concubines were busy trying to persuade them.
"Leave her alone, she's too young to understand." Second Mrs. Cheng said, looking at Cheng Siniang and Wu Niang, "Besides, she can still wait, and she is not in a hurry, she will be old in three or four years." And at that time, our family didn't rely on her alone. ”
The two concubines nodded.
"That's what Madame said." They said.
"Qi Niang can wait, but Si Niang and Wu Niang can't wait any longer." Second Mrs. Cheng continued, "But we can't be in a hurry, let's pick carefully." ”
Cheng Siniang and Wuniang couldn't listen to it anymore at this time, and resigned with a red face.
Walking out of the courtyard of Mrs. Cheng's second wife, the two sisters walked slowly along the road, although they had only lived for a long time, they did not have that strange feeling when they looked at this house.
Maybe it's because this house is old and new, and it's well maintained.
"Have you ever thought about it? One day we will rely on her to find a good marriage? Cheng Siniang said.
Cheng Wuniang sighed and smiled again.
"The things of this world. It's really unexpected. She said.
She paused and looked at the room.
Cheng Siniang also stopped.
Over there is Cheng Jianniang's residence.
Compared with Second Mrs. Cheng, there are many servants and maids, there are very few people here, and even fewer than the maids and maids around their sisters.
But this is not the same as before, the girls and servants set off to avoid here, in fact, the family is eager to work here.
"Big lady, quiet as a wooden man..."
"....either to read and write or to practice archery"
“… We just don't know what to serve if we want to, and the pestle is like a fool in the yard..."
Because of this, there is no one to serve here, the big things are done, and the small things such as sprinkling and running errands are enough.
"Lady"
Banqin picked up the hot tea and looked at Cheng Jianniang, who had changed into homely clothes, with a little distress.
"Are you tired? Go out every day. ”
"I'm not tired, and there's no big difference between going out and being at home." Cheng Jianniang said, "As long as you want to go yourself, you won't be tired." ”
"Lady, do you want to go?" Banqin was even more surprised.
"There's no reason not to." Cheng Jianniang said.
It turns out that the lady doesn't like to go out, it's not right, she doesn't like to go out, what is it....
The servant girl snorted and laughed.
"I said you, don't think too much." She said, flipping through the account book in her hand.
Banqin sat across from her, looking at the fire while holding her head in her hands.
"The lady is very simple, they invite, the lady will respond, she is not forcing herself to do anything for whom, if she goes, it is her own going." The maidservant continued, "They are invited, the lady goes, that's all, don't think about anything else, especially don't think about why it will be, just see what you see, don't think about what you don't see." ”
Banqin sighed.
"I just think that the lady is too good to them." "It's not worth it," she said. ”
The servant girl smiled and stopped.
"Okay?" "Sometimes good things are bad, and bad things can be good things." ”
Banqin looked at her.
"Sister, I'm stupid, don't fight with me." She said.
"I'm not stupid, I even know how to fight." The servant girl smiled, looking at Banqin's annoyance, she hurriedly waved her hand and laughed, "Okay, good, don't fight." ”
She paused, thought for a moment.
"Do you know the story of Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan?"
Banqin shook her head.
The maid smiled slightly.
"Haven't you heard of it?" She asked.
Banqin nodded, waiting for the maid to speak.
"Go and let the lady tell you." The maidservant said.
Banqin was stunned for a moment.
The girl who was cleaning up a little bit of dead branches under the tree in the yard heard the laughter of two girls in the house.
"....I'm not kidding you... I'm so busy... The lady is very idle, you go and ask her..."
God, being a human slave and a slave can do this, it can be regarded as the sky.
The little girl looked surprised and envious.
Because I ate wine. Mrs. Cheng Slept for an afternoon. until he was woken up by Master Cheng Er. Listening to the laughter outside, she walked out helplessly with her head pressed, and when she saw the colorful lights in the yard, she immediately woke up in fright.
"Do you like Goro, Daddy bought it for you, this is your lantern."
Second Master Cheng hugged his son and said with a smile.
Cheng Wulang happily raised his hand, broke free, and ran around the lanterns.
"Oh my God. How did you buy this for the kids? Second Mrs. Cheng shouted.
These bells and whistles are expensive, and at the banquet in these days, I have a preliminary impression of eating, drinking, and playing in Beijing.
"Make the child happy." Second Master Cheng said, while letting the nurse look at her son, he turned around and walked towards the hall.
"How can you be coaxed like this? It's about to be the Shangyuan Festival, and there will be a lot of people on the street by then..."Second Mrs. Cheng said hurriedly, and was pulled in by Second Master Cheng before she finished speaking.
"What are you doing?"
She shook off Second Master Cheng and said.
"This thing is also suitable for the occasion, and it will be useless after the Shangyuan Festival, and it will not be left for next year. What are you doing with all this money? Pull down your face and give people the money they want, and you don't have to do useful things that can make money! ”
"My money. I can spoil as much as I want. Second Master Cheng said.
"Your money?" Second Mrs. Cheng said, "You"
"That's right, my money, all of this, is mine." Second Master Cheng said, stretched out his finger and pointed around, while taking out a few documents and shaking them open.
Second Mrs. Cheng took it with a little doubt, and couldn't help but be surprised and surprised when she saw it.
"Oh, that's really a lot." She muttered, while hurriedly flipping through it, "Except for the Taiping Residence, there are other people, and the others are all hers alone!" ”
"I'm not letting you see this!" Second Master Cheng said, stretched out his finger and pointed to the paperwork, and nodded on Cheng Jianniang's name, "Look here." ”
"Isn't that still the case?" Second Lady Cheng frowned and said.
"Do you really not understand or do you not understand?" Second Master Cheng also frowned and said, stretching out his hand to point at the paperwork, "What this means, it's mine!" ”
The night was deep, and the candle flame in the house of Mr. Cheng Er had not been extinguished.
Looking at the paperwork on several cases, Mrs. Cheng finally raised her head.
"Will she give these things?" Second Mrs. Cheng said.
"Ken?" Second Master Cheng smiled, "She was born to me, even she is mine, isn't her thing mine?" This is a matter of course, and it cannot be violated to say that it is impossible to break the sky. ”
"Master, it's not that I don't understand, but, it's not different from other people's families." She said, "Lady she... It's not easy to mess with. ”
"Not to mess with?" Second Master Cheng twisted his beard and sneered, "What? It's not enough to sue her uncle and uncle, but she still wants to kill her father? ”
The truth is this, it's just...
Second Mrs. Cheng hesitated.
"Then go and tell her to change the paperwork to your name...", she said.
Before she finished speaking, Second Master Cheng interrupted her.
"You're confused again, aren't you?" He said, "How can I change it to my name?" ”
Second Mrs. Cheng looked up at him with some puzzlement.
"Change it to yours!" Second Master Cheng said with a slight smile.
It's mine!
Second Mrs. Cheng gasped and reached out to touch her heart.
"Do you think, don't have a foreign wealth, our Cheng family is not separated, mine, isn't that the eldest brother theirs?" Second Master Cheng continued, "But, yours is not everyone's, and when the time comes, it will be your dowry..."
"I, my dowry is only how much..."Second Lady Cheng muttered, "Then, she can also be said to be the source of her mother's dowry..."
"Ahh Second Master Cheng said, "She first had this property, and then she went to fight with her eldest brother for the dowry in Jiangzhou, it is better to say that she used your dowry in the capital to support her, even if it is a scene, you have to do a full set!" ”
Second Mrs. Cheng sighed.
"How?" Second Master Cheng smiled and said, "You don't want it?" ”
Second Mrs. Cheng's eyes fell on the documents of several cases again.
Don't want it?
With so many industries, let alone three, one is enough for her to take her children to eat and drink for the rest of her life.
It's all in her name, although it's fake, but it's written in black and white, and it's covered by the big seal of the government.
These industries became hers, and she thought about it when she dreamed, but this dream came true too quickly, right?
It's mine....
Second Mrs. Cheng only felt a little out of breath, and reached out to touch her heart.
Don't want it?
If you don't want it, you're a fool, right? (To be continued......)
