Chapter Thirty-Eight: Speaking
"There are two mothers-in-law and two second-class girls in the yard, if there are not enough people, Sister Ling can just say that if you live here, you can just treat it as your own home, but don't be polite to your aunt. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Now that she is under the fence, of course He Yunling said yes, and asked Gu's mother to politely send Mrs. Hu out of the yard.
"Girl, I didn't expect you to live in a yard by yourself!" This is also something that Qiu Shi can't imagine, in the He family, even the eldest girl doesn't live in a courtyard alone.
After Gu's mother finished speaking, Mrs. Hu just heard it when she came in, so she smiled, "The Hu family is the richest man in Jiangzhou Mansion, and there are not as many people here as in the capital." ā
He Yunling rushed for two days, she was really tired, so she cleaned up, she asked Gu's mother and Qiu Shi to squint for a while, and she also had the spirit to participate in the Hu family's family banquet in the evening.
In the Qinghui courtyard of the second room of the Hu family.
Mrs. Hu Er was also serving Hu Rui, who had just come back from the old lady, to change clothes, and Hu Rui, who had changed into a homely dress, sat in the circle chair and chatted with Mrs. Hu Rui, who had not seen him for a while, and he couldn't finish talking about homely words, not to mention that the relationship between the husband and wife was quite good.
Mrs. Hu Er brought Hu Rui a cup of tea, sat next to him, and asked him if he had gone well to Jingshun this time.
Hu Rui's brows stretched, and his tone was calm, "It's going well, if it's fast, we'll have a reply in February or March after the year." ā
When Mrs. Hu heard this, she was full of joy, "That's good, that's good." "My husband went to Beijing this time to seek an official, and the generations of merchants in the family are about to change their faces, and she will soon be the official's wife, why don't you make her excited?
"Is the silver you brought here enough this time?" Mrs. Hu also knows this, she gave birth to two sons to Hu Rui in the second room, and Hu Rui is usually a person who is smart in doing things, Hu Rui has always respected Mrs., and some things in the family are usually talked to her, and sometimes, the second wife can also give some good advice.
This time Hu Rui went to Beijing with tens of thousands of taels of silver to pass through the official road, and the person he could find was of course his in-law He family, who was able to marry a merchant like the Hu family, and the reason for this was very simple, it was just that they took a fancy to the Hu family's money, and the Hu family was full of joy, they took a fancy to the He family's rights, and those who do business also need a protective umbrella of rights.
When the Hu family married into the He Mansion, the Hu family gave a full 100,000 taels of dowry silver, and every quarter after that, the Hu family also gave the He family 5,000 pieces of silver, which was the protection fee, oh, it was given under the pretext of etiquette.
has been in-laws for more than ten years, and the temperament of the two families is also clear, Mrs. Hu Er does not think that the He family is a righteous helper, not to mention that it is for the sake of her own in-laws, that is, it is perfunctory to do a polite exchange, and it is also a tacit understanding between the two families to come to the door with money.
In the mind of Mrs. Hu Er, the He family is even more greedy villain, while collecting the Hu family's money, she looks down on the identity of the Hu family, and that kind of fake and high face has already been imprinted on the heart of Mrs. Hu Er, because over the years, the Hu family does not know how much money has been sent to the He family, so she asked, she will subconsciously feel that the He family is the master of the lion's mouth.
Hu Rui said: "Don't worry, our two families are a win-win situation, and the eldest master of the He family knows it very well in his heart." ā
"That's good." Mrs. Hu Er breathed a sigh of relief.
Hu Rui looked at his wife's expression and asked, "But what did you say at home?" ā
Speaking of this, Mrs. Hu Er sighed, "I looked at my sister-in-law and was a little unhappy." ā
The Hu family has not been divided, of course, there is no division of family property, all the expenses of the family are from the public, the eldest man of the Hu family donated a six-grade minor official a few years ago, and Mrs. Hu also feels that she has become an official wife, and the concubine in the Hu family is the only one.
Now the second room of the Hu family wants to take the money to go to the official road, she is not very happy, her own family is the big house of the Hu family, it is the eldest son, and the family property is also divided into half of the family property as a matter of course, and now the money taken by the second room is not a small amount, this is squandering in her own share, how can Mrs. Hu be happy.
Mrs. Hu Er was also stabbed twice by her, dissatisfied with this matter.
"Leave her alone!" Hu Rui comforted Mrs. Hu Er, "What can a woman with long hair and short knowledge understand, as long as the eldest brother understands." ā
Master Hu should understand that if there is really an official in the family, it will be beneficial and harmless to the family, if you don't even understand the truth like Bian, then you don't have to worry about the Hu family's business.
When Mrs. Hu heard Hu Rui's words, she could only suppress it unwillingly, and then asked He Yunling, "What's the matter with Sister Ling?" You didn't talk about it when you left. "Her husband is a powerful man, she believes him from the bottom of her heart, and in her heart, everything her husband does will have a reason, so she asks like this.
Speaking of Sister Ling, Hu Rui had a smile on his face, "That kid, it's a coincidence." ā
"Oh? What does this say? "Mrs. Hu Er is very interested, she has been to the He family, that is, when the Hu family gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, almost the Hu family went there, and at that time, they set up a flowing water banquet for three days, and most of the money they paid from the Hu family. Although she asked like this, she vaguely guessed something in her heart.
"My sister isn't the one to think about it." Hu Rui sighed first, for this sister, he was also helpless, her vision was there, even if she had been the wife of a five-grade official for so many years, she hadn't grown much, "My sister felt that Sister Ling was restrained by Brother Li'er, and didn't let her get too close, and she was sent to a nunnery before, so she fended for herself, I just knew about such a situation in the past, so I brought Sister Ling over." ā
Mrs. Hu exclaimed, "What do these two sisters think?" This is crawling out of her belly, even if she is restrained, Brother Li'er should not throw her into a nunnery...... Sister Ling is a poor ......."
Hu Rui told her, "Don't talk about Sister Ling's brother Klee, the three of them become tigers, and reputation is very important to the girl's family." ā
Mrs. Hu Er nodded, "I know, this child looks very well-behaved, looks good, looks like a lovely person, in our family, I also treat her as a child of our family." ā
Hu Rui glanced at her appreciatively, "You're right, Sister Ling looks like a good one, cultivate it well, maybe it's not worse than her two sisters, sometimes marriage, through the good of the two families, to help, don't you need daughters?" To be a person and do things, you have to take a long-term view, there is a good saying, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, no one knows the future creation. ā
