Chapter 21: A Mother's Heart
The old lady was lying on the small couch, watching the big girl Chunxiang insert the plum that had just been folded back into the beauty bottle, listening to the girls beating her legs for her, while laughing: "...... I heard that there was a lot of trouble in Qiongbi Courtyard yesterday, and Aunt Gui and Aunt Lian, who were newly lifted in the third room, had a quarrel. Pen? Interesting?

The old lady raised her eyebrows and said casually: "Isn't someone in charge, why should they make trouble." ”
The girl said softly: "I heard that the third lady is not in good health, and she doesn't care much about these things, but she still made a fuss, so she called over, but she just said a few words and sent back." ”
The old lady sneered: "She has never been useless, and now she is a sick seedling, what else can she manage, I don't know who I instigated, I came to Liqing Courtyard to ask for the account books and the right cards to go back, I really think she is going to be strong, I can't think of it is still a gourd without a mouth." ”
While she was talking, Mama Chang opened the curtain and came in: "Old lady, the third lady is here." ”
Shen Ruohua followed in, took off her cloak with Qingmei's hand, and then walked up to the old lady and blessed her: "Say hello to the old lady." ”
The old lady saw that she was wearing a red tuanhua jacket and a begonia red satin cotton skirt, although her figure was still slender, but she was in good spirits, not like the girls said that her body was not good, and her face sank, and she let her get up.
"I heard that you are going to take a hundred acres of land and sell it for silver?" The old lady asked, this matter has already spread in the house, and she doesn't want to beat around the bush.
Shen Ruohua nodded, with a sad face: "I don't hide it from the old lady, it's really that the third room has no silver, and the third master is in a hurry to use the silver, I thought about it, I really had no way, so I thought about taking the field out to exchange it for silver." I never thought that even the old lady knew, but the old lady was worried, or mine was not. ”
The old lady smiled sarcastically, such a stupid person as the Shen family, thought that he could make his own decisions if he asked for the account books and the right cards, and now he had no silver and could only exchange the land for the dowry for silver, if he was not afraid that she would toss it again, he was afraid that even the people outside would know that Sanfang was embarrassed to sell the dowry field, and the hundred acres of land were also good Tianzi fertile fields, so she would not pay attention to these.
She said coldly: "Originally, it was your dowry, and it was also the land of the Hou Mansion, so naturally it could not be sold." She looked at Shen Ruohua, "It's just that there is no silver in the third room now, and I can't just watch you mess around like this, is it difficult to make Wen Hao aggrieved that there is no money in his hand, since you have decided to take out the field and exchange it for silver, it is okay, you can support it for a while." ”
Shen Ruohua could hear the meaning of her words, nodded and said, "I thought about it too, I really had no way, so I thought about taking out all the fields for marriage in exchange for silver." ”
She lowered her head: "It's just that I don't know the place where I live, and I don't know where to sell it, and I'm afraid that I'll be deceived, so I can't make up my mind." Previously, the second sister-in-law also sent someone to ask, but she was afraid that she wanted to buy this 100 acres of land. She muttered unintentionally, "I heard that this Tianzida has money in Kyoto and there is nowhere to buy it, so it is better to take it out and ask someone about the price." ”
The old lady frowned, coughed twice, and then said: "Your second sister-in-law is also afraid that you will be deceived, so she kindly sent someone to ask, where can she use the land now." But you are right, there is no steward in Kyoto who knows how to do things, and he was deceived by someone when he took out the 100 acres of land. She sighed, looking very helpless, "After all, you are the third lady in the Hou Mansion, since there is a difficulty, I can't ignore it." Well, you don't have to bother thinking about taking out the field and selling it for silver, I'll buy it for you, and you can subsidize the three houses. ”
Shen Ruohua raised his head and said in surprise: "The old lady is willing to buy the hundred acres of land?" ”
The old lady pinched the Buddha beads in her hand and turned them gently: "I am your mother-in-law after all, and I can still watch you suffer losses, so I naturally want to think of ways to help you." If you sell your 100 acres of land to someone else, you may lose a lot of silver, but it is better for me to collect it for you, and it will be safer. Her tone was gentle, and she looked at Shen Ruohua with kind eyes.
Shen Ruohua hid a smile from her lips: "Then listen to the old lady." I just don't know, what is the price? She tilted her head and pondered, "I heard from the people in the house that this day the word field in Kyoto is afraid to be 100 taels and 1 acres." ”
The old lady frowned, her face was a little ugly: "Where is there such a good thing, it has to be the field on the Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing, and the ordinary Tianzi field is only eighty taels and one acres." ”
Shen Ruohua had a disappointed expression: "It's only worth eighty taels and one acres." She showed a melancholy look, "I'm afraid that this hundred acres will not be enough if I exchange it for silver, so I'll think about it again." ”
The old lady was a little anxious, she hurriedly said: "Since I want to subsidize you, naturally I will not teach you to suffer losses, I will subsidize you more from my own body, eighty-five taels and one acres, and it can be regarded as giving more care to the third room." She added, "Can't I teach your second sister-in-law to know, this is out of my own money." ”
Shen Ruohua lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was hesitating.
The old lady gave a look to Mama Chang, Mama Chang understood, and said busily: "Third Madame, if it weren't for the fact that the old lady saw that it was difficult in the third room now, she wouldn't have thought of taking her own self to supplement you, the hundred acres of land look valuable to ordinary people, but our Guangping Marquis Mansion is the home of the prince, where can I look at these, it's not that the old lady is worried that you have been deceived, so she specially said that she helped you buy it, don't think about it." ”
Shen Ruohua raised his head at this time, with a little reluctance on his face, and said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, then it has to be like this." She got up and blessed the old lady, "Then ask the old lady to send someone to come with me and get the deed for silver." ”
