Chapter 40: The General
Blatantly asking for accounts from yourself? Ding Pengyi couldn't believe that Ding Huiniang in front of him was really his daughter, he glared at Xiang, who was also surprised, and blamed her for teaching Ding Huiniang so blindly?
But now is not the time to blame Ding Huiniang, Ding Pengyi glanced at Xiao Kuan beside him, and wished that he hadn't come to the Huiyang Eldest Princess's Mansion today, but this face that was torn to the ground by Ding Huiniang, he still had to pick it up, "What nonsense are you talking about, when did the dignified Huai'an Hou Mansion fall to the point where you need to ask your daughter to sell her dowry?" ”
Ding Hui seemed to fully believe what Ding Pengyi said, and said happily, "That's great, my daughter is also very worried when she hears Aunt Xiang say this!" ”
She turned her head to look at Aunt Xiang, who was eager to find a sewing to tie it in, "Father doesn't want silver at all, what is my aunt going to borrow silver for several times?" How dare you lie to me in the name of your father? Why do I trust you so much?! ”
Ding Hui looked at Aunt Xiang in disappointment, "Although you are my father's aunt and half of my elders, but you have done something wrong, I can't cover it up for you, otherwise, it will be unfilial piety to my father,"
"Red sleeves, show your father the account of Gu's mother who came to borrow the silver,"
Red Sleeves had already prepared, and when he answered the crisp sound, he took out a booklet from his arms, "Master Hou, I asked my aunt that Gu's mother came three times, and borrowed a total of three thousand taels of silver from Mrs., and this is Gu's mother's handprint,"
She has long been unaccustomed to seeing the Xiang family use filial piety to suppress Ding Huiniang and ask her to take out her dowry to raise the Hou's mansion, so every time Gu's mother comes, even if the red sleeves are given silver, they will make all kinds of requests, time and place, and even remember everything they say, and Gu's mother, who is the cashier, has to press all ten fingers for her.
When Mrs. Jiang comes back in the future, she will send these over, and also ask Mrs. to see what good things the Xiang family has done!
Three thousand taels? Why didn't I get that much? Ding Pengyi glanced at Xiang Shi viciously, "Got it, Hui Niang, do you want to settle accounts with your father on this road?" ”
"How can a daughter settle accounts with your father? But if it weren't for the daughter mentioning it to her father today, how would you know that Aunt Xiang actually did such a thing? Three thousand taels is not a small amount, what did my aunt do with it? Father, you are Huai'an Hou, how can you check this, what if Aunt Xiang encounters something that can't be solved? ”
The more Ding Hui spoke, the more frightened she became, "Auntie, I heard from the rough mothers in the house that there are some people outside who go out to lend money privately with money, didn't you do that?" That's going to kill your head! If it is known, don't say that you, even your father, will be implicated! ”
Three thousand taels of silver want to learn from other people's usury? Aunt Xiang sneered in her heart, "Look at what Madame said, I am also the daughter of an official family, how can I do this thing of knowing the law and breaking the law?" As for me asking Gu's mother to come to Mrs. to borrow money, it's just that the house can't be opened for a while......"
"Yes, I forgot that Aunt Xiang is my grandmother's niece, I remember that my father used to praise you for being the most like your grandmother, and you are an expert in managing the family, so my aunt must be turning around now?" Ding Hui didn't wait for her to finish speaking, "Now that the son of the world is injured and his mother hasn't come back, it's not good for me to leave the house at will, so let's ask Xiao Changshi to help me run, and then you can hand over the silver to Xiao Changshi,"
Ding Hui gave Xiao a blessing, "I'm tired of Lord Xiao, so ask Mama Fang to accompany you when the time comes." ”
Yes, he didn't even speak, so he put on an errand, or asked his father for his daughter's dowry, but Xiao Kuan's father who cheated his daughter's dowry, really didn't see much, "Since Mrs. has ordered, Xiao will definitely live up to the trust." ”
The Ding family no longer likes the eldest princess, and they are also members of the Zhao family, and this kind of behavior of digging up the silver of the daughter's dowry is clearly not to take the eldest princess's mansion and Suidehou's mansion in their eyes.
Seeing that Ding Huiniang actually asked Xiao Changshi to help him collect the debt, Ding Pengyi's face turned blue, and he pointed at Ding Huiniang and said, "You, you,"
"Father, what's wrong with you? But where is it uncomfortable, it just so happens that the Imperial Doctor is still in our house, Cui Shan, please ask Imperial Doctor Tian to come over,"
Ding Hui's filial piety daughter pretends to be more and more comfortable, she is not only filial to her daughter, but also greatly helps her aunt to intercede, "Aunt Xiang is also short of money for a while, so she hit her daughter with the idea, but we are a family in the end, and my father doesn't have to be too angry, as long as my aunt returns the silver to me, my father will not punish her." ”
"What kind of doctor is it, isn't it shameful enough?" Ding Peng was so angry that he couldn't even care about face, and scolded directly, "Why did I give birth to such an unfilial, ruthless and unrighteous thing as you?!" ”
Actually scolding yourself?
Ding Hui pinched herself secretly, and tears came out in an instant, "Where did my father's words come from?" Isn't it enough for my daughter to do for the Huai'an Hou Mansion? Since the daughter is so useless in the eyes of the father, then the father should not have me as a daughter in the future! ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked towards Qingyun Courtyard, and no longer paid attention to the stunned Ding Pengyi and Xiao Kuan, "The prince wants to be the master for me......"
"Marquis Ding, please," Xiao Kuan handled the matter of Zhao Yi'an's request to marry Ding Huiniang at the beginning, and he couldn't be more clear about what kind of character Ding Pengyi was, and he didn't even bother to show respect for face, "Five days later, Xiao came to visit the house, and asked Aunt Xiang to prepare the silver early." ”
Because she had to go out to socialize, the Zhu Lunhua cover car of the Hou Mansion in Huai'an was still five or six percent new, and Aunt Xiang followed Ding Pengyi into the carriage and said impatiently, "Master Hou, do you think Hui Niang is different from before?" ”
After calming down, Ding Pengyi also felt it, "You're right, where did she dare to talk back to me before?" It's not like what we say is what it is! ”
Ding Huiniang is the first child of Ding Pengyi and Jiang's family, after giving birth, she was hugged to her side by the old lady Xiang of Huai'an, and then on the grounds that Jiang has not been out for many years, she accepted Ding Pengyi's niece Xiang Ping as a concubine, which is now Aunt Xiang.
Aunt Xiang is a good person, and she didn't treat her coldly because Ding Huiniang was from the Jiang family, and she has always been good to Ding Huiniang. With the teachings of Lao Xiang and Aunt Xiang, Ding Huiniang was not much close to her biological mother Jiang.
even thought that it was the Jiang family that destroyed the original established marriage between Ding Pengyi and Aunt Xiang, so that the kind-hearted Xiang Ping had no choice but to become a concubine, and it was also with a sense of humility to Aunt Xiang, Ding Huiniang obeyed Ding Pengyi and Aunt Xiang.
"That's why the concubine is a little worried," Seeing that Ding Pengyi understood what he meant, Xiang sighed and carefully snuggled in Ding Pengyi's arms, "Although Hui Niang was born to her sister, she has always been cherished by her aunt and concubine, in the eyes of the concubine, she is the same as Rong Niang, and today she is like this, and the concubine is very sad." ”
used Ding Huiniang to change Ding Pengyi's errand, and took advantage of the situation and left the Jiang family angrily, since then the Hou Mansion has become her Xiang's world, and even the chewing wraps at home coaxed Ding Huiniang to take the dowry for them to spend, these two years are the most proud time for the Xiang family, I didn't expect that the good days were not enough, Ding Huiniang actually changed her face?
