Chapter 172 The eldest leaves home, and the younger returns
When Caixia Caiyun came in, Mrs. Wang's kang table was still full of books, account books, and various house deeds, land deeds, and silver tickets of different sizes.
As soon as Caiyun Caixia entered the house, Mrs. Wang opened her eyes with a gloomy face, and scolded angrily: "Who let you in?!" ”
Caiyun immediately explained aggrievedly: "Madam, it's dawn." Mrs. Wang glared at her angrily and said, "Get out!" I'll tell you to come back in a moment. Caiyun and Caixia glanced at each other, then bowed their heads and retreated.
Mrs. Wang also quickly sat up, put away all the deeds on the table, put them back in the box, and stacked the account book. Finally, he counted the silver tickets again, and then took a small box and put it on, and locked it in a small drawer at the head of his bed.
After cleaning up, Mrs. Wang called Caixia Caiyun in, and the two only bowed their heads to deliver water and tea, and they didn't dare to look more. It didn't take long for Mrs. Wang to clean up properly.
On the high vertebral bun, a winged golden phoenix dots the emerald hairpin, which firmly fixes the bun. It is also decorated with two silk flowers, one deep and one shallow, on the right side. The three red gold hairpins are pinned to the left side. Then tie the forehead with the same color as the jujube red dragon group gown. A pair of emerald green dripping drop earrings swayed and even lush.
When Mrs. Wang stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked left and right, Zhou Rui's family walked in. A vigorous admiration: "Mrs. looks more and more young spirit, the old saying often says that people are in good spirits when they are happy, which can be seen to be true." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang just pursed her lips and smiled, and did not speak, only took Zhou Rui's hand and went to the outside room for breakfast.
After breakfast, Mrs. Wang sent Caixia and Caiyun away, leaving only Zhou Rui's family in the house. Looking at the two Caixia Caiyun who withdrew, Zhou Rui's heart secretly said proudly: In the end, my wife still trusts me the most!
Mrs. Wang saw that only she and Zhou Rui's family were in the house, turned around and went back to the inner room, took a few house deeds and a land deed, and said to Zhou Rui's family: "I want to get rid of these house deeds, transfer the land deeds to my name, and transfer them to a few more households, do you understand?" "Zhou Rui's family can bloom in their hearts when they see it!
Zhou Rui's family thought: This title deed can't be touched by himself, but this house deed can be bought by his son-in-law.
After thinking about it in his heart, Zhou Ruijia smiled and said: "Mrs., don't worry, it's done in time, and you won't leave a tail." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded before saying, "Well, you do things well, and your benefits are indispensable." After speaking, Mrs. Wang picked up the teacup and said, "Go ahead, you have to hurry up." Zhou Rui's family naturally retreated without saying a word.
Mrs. Wang thought that since the repayment of the silver could not alarm the big house, she could only make up her mind from the old lady and her sister Aunt Xue.
Just thinking about it, Aunt Xue came to see Mrs. Wang. Aunt Xue is also wearing a festive gray squirrel fur-edged jujube red coat, and the gold and silver threads on her body are embroidered with rich peony flowers.
When Mrs. Wang saw her come in, she immediately smiled on her face, and got up affectionately and said, "Why did you come here now?" ”
Aunt Xue handed a carved gold box in her hand to Mrs. Wang and said: "Yuan girl has boiled her head in the palace, and now she is a mother, I think that although I can't go in to see her, but my aunt has to say that this will not give her the latest style of head." A place like that in the palace is the most wealthy, but it can't be weakened. ”
Mrs. Wang took a look, and inside the box was a complete set of gold and jade dotted emerald heads, and her eyes couldn't help but light up by two points, and she said: "It's not easy for Yuan girl, how many years have you been boiling this, but it can be regarded as boiling out, but it is hard for you to break the bank." ”
Aunt Xue smiled: "That's my own niece and nephew, what do you say about breaking the bill?" If you get a dragon son in the future, will you still not recognize me as an aunt? ”
Hearing Aunt Xue say this, Mrs. Wang made up her mind in her heart, sighed and said, "Only now we are dragging her down, and I don't know what will happen to her in the palace in the future." As he spoke, he looked even more worried.
Aunt Xue asked in surprise, "What did my sister say this?" Why is it a good drag? Didn't you just seal the concubine position yesterday? It's still the first house. ”
Mrs. Wang then explained with a bitter face: "In the early years, the old lady owed a lot of silver in the palace in order to take over the car, and this is not the saint who is chasing it!" This big family sees that it is a year again, and it was not easy to pay back a few years ago, and now they are urging to ask for it, if it is slowed down, it can be withdrawn, and now it is so urgent, let me go where to go. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang's face suddenly changed, and she said with a look of resentment: "The most hateful thing is that the concubine Shuhui who was canonized with my Yuanchun, now that the saint is chasing the silver everywhere, his family will speculate, and if he offers the silver when he sees the stitches, will he win the favor of the saint?" You haven't seen the arrogance of yesterday, don't you just rely on the silver? ”
When Aunt Xue heard this, she smiled and said: "How big it is, my sister is talking about how much it is still bad, and I am afraid that there is no more, and tens of thousands of taels of people like us are not in our eyes." ”
Mrs. Wang waited for her words, but she shook her head and said, "Where can I ask for your silver?" Now you are pulling this pan alone, and it is not easy for the hairpin. Besides, Pan'er hasn't married yet! ”
Aunt Xue smiled disappreciatively: "We sisters still care about this? Besides, now my sister is just not taking advantage of it, and she will return it to me when she recovers. ”
When Mrs. Wang heard Aunt Xue say this, her heart could be said to be happy, but her face was red and said: "Then there is Sister Lao, don't worry, when I come out, I will make it up for you immediately!" ”
Aunt Xue hurriedly smiled and said, "My own sister, what can I worry about?" As she spoke, she got up to go back to get the silver, but Mrs. Wang hurriedly pulled her and said, "I've eaten tea and then left, where are you in a hurry for a while?" ”
Aunt Xue said: "It's the same to eat again when you come back in a while, and it's not always happy to have something to do in your heart." With that, he got up and went out the door. Seeing Aunt Xue's figure disappear outside the door, Mrs. Wang showed a smug smile.
Because of the New Year, Xue Pan had to learn to do business and follow the old man in the shop to go out to buy. Aunt Xue didn't have much cash in her hand, and in the end, she only took 60,000 taels for Mrs. Wang. Although Mrs. Wang felt that Aunt Xue was stingy, she was full of gratitude on her face.
After Aunt Xue's collection, Mrs. Wang had 140,000 taels of silver tickets in her hand, but Mrs. Wang thought about it but only took 90,000 taels out and asked Jia Zheng to take it to the household department to return it. In this way, Jiafu only owed 400,000 taels to the household.
Mrs. Wang thought to herself, the rest, when the lord gets the reward, let the big house go to pay it back, now there is a mother in the palace, and the master outside has a good errand, and she has nothing to be afraid of.
Sure enough, not long after the first lunar month, the saint appointed Jia Zheng as the school administrator of a town in the south, and set off for his post on a certain day. In this way, although Jia Zheng is still one level higher than this Jia Yudi, he is also an official of the five grades, and he is in charge of the imperial examination of one of the students.
Mrs. Wang believed that this was what she had obtained by repaying the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and she couldn't help but be proud even in front of Jia Zheng.
Because Jia Zheng will be going for three or five years, he will pay all kinds of salutes in the house, and the maids and mothers-in-law will be prepared for him for a long time, and they will arrange for two domestic servants to follow.
Mrs. Jia was even more distressed that he had never been far away, and the first time she went out, she couldn't lack silver when she was a child, so she let the public middle school spend 3,000 taels with him, and even privately took 2,000 taels of private housing and subsidized with him.
On the second day of the second month of February, it is advisable to travel far away, and when there are still ten days before the birthdays of Daiyu and Brother Chun, Jia Zheng took more than a dozen carts of cages, maids and maids, and servants in two rooms to set off.
At this time, Daiyu has already passed Qingjiang County, and she will be able to return to the capital in less than a month. Mo Xuan can always see Daiyu in a daze on the boat behind him looking at the river at the stern of the boat.
These days, the changes in Daiyu are obvious, especially when we met Yangzhou back then, the changes are particularly huge. After boarding the ship from Gusu and returning to Beijing, Daiyu was also changing along the way, becoming thinner and more silent.
Looking at such Daiyu, Mo Xuan couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to blow a few flutes for her every night.
I don't remember when, but it became a habit. But Mo Xuan never thought that one day he would also hear the sound of the piano coming from the boat behind, although it sounded strange, even like a beginner child, but it sounded intermittently, but it also had a unique charm.
Playing the piano is naturally Daiyu, but Daiyu is really powerless about this guqin, she can't be as ethereal and long as Wanyu, as tactful as a pearl, and she can't be as old and simple as Huang Jiyun. Especially for the guqin score, I know every word, but I feel powerless when it can be turned into a rhythm.
Daiyu had studied the piano for a few days in her previous life, and she remembered a few simple tunes, and now she is trying to play them on the guqin, which is also very interesting. So there was one more pastime in the day.
Because Daiyu hadn't studied the piano for a few days, the repertoire she could remember was even less pitiful, and she had to be able to play it on the guqin, and it was only two or three songs over and over again.
Daiyu can't memorize tracks like "Dream Wedding" and "Adelina by the Water", but Daiyu only remembers a few popular songs like "To Alice". Not to mention those classics such as "Moonlight Song", "Destiny" and so on, they gave Daiyu a score, and she couldn't play it.
Daiyu's favorite is Bandari's "First Snow" tune, which is simple and beautiful, of course, at this moment, the most in line with Daiyu's mood is "Take Me Back to Virginie's Hometown" that Daiyu learned when she first learned the piano. I always have to play it twice a day. It's just that Daiyu at this time can't tell whether she wants to return to her previous life or to Gusu......
From the initial plucking of one note at a time, to the gradual coherence later, Daiyu doesn't know how many times she practiced. And Mo Xuan memorized this piece in Daiyu's practice.
On this day and night, there was still the sound of flute on the boat in front, and Daiyu, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly woke up. Because what came at this time was no longer the repertoire of the past, but the "Take Me Back to Virginie's Hometown", which I practiced every day. This song is played by Xiao, and it is two more points desolate. But it was also more tactful, and Daiyu couldn't help but be fascinated. (To be continued.) )
