Chapter 145, Loss
Today is the day of the second sister's marriage, and Mu Chenxue saw the second brother-in-law for the first time, and her impression of this person can only be said to be average. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the day of the return of the three dynasties, Mu Chenxue saw the second sister again, but she did not see the shyness and happiness of the bride on the face of the second sister. On the contrary, there was a sadness between his eyebrows.
It's just that in her capacity, even if she asks the second sister with concern, she won't say it. Aunt Xu also saw her daughter's uneasiness, and took advantage of no one to pay attention, pulled her daughter back to her room, and asked carefully.
At first, I thought it was a quarrel between the newlyweds, but this question revealed that this Cheng Xin, long before marrying Mu Lanfang and entering the door, already had several concubines and rooms. Even one of the most favored concubines is now eight months pregnant. She just entered the door, and the people saw that the child was about to be born. This kind of thing is categorically not allowed in the eunuchs' homes. The eldest son of the concubine is in trouble, this is common sense. But Cheng Fu was born in a businessman, and Cheng Xin is the only son in the family, and Cheng Fu values his heirs very much. Even if it is the eldest son, he plans to let Mr. Concubine come down.
As soon as the daughter gets married, she has to be a mother, and if this favored concubine wins a man in one fell swoop, although it will not endanger the status of the daughter in charge for the time being, she will at least share a lot of favor. In the future, the eldest son and the eldest son will have to quarrel over the family property.
Aunt Xu thought that this family affair was not good at the beginning, but the eldest lady insisted on matchmaking, and the eldest master agreed again, so she had to admit it. Now that I think about it, I hate the eldest lady no less than the dead Zhong family.
The second sister doesn't have to endure it in front of her mother, but she doesn't dare to cry loudly, if she lets the people in Cheng's mansion know, she will go back to her parents' house to complain, but she is afraid that there will be no more peaceful birthdays to live in the future.
After eating a homecoming meal, Cheng Xin came to call the second sister, saying that he was going to go home before dinner, but in fact, he missed the concubine and the child in his belly. In fact, it's not that Mu Lanfang is not beautiful enough and not good enough, but he has already pretended to be too many women in his heart, and this one is just better in terms of name.
And he was willing to marry the concubine of the shogunate to enter the door, also for his own future, this marriage brought a layer of attack, and naturally there was a little less affection. The second sister's life will not be easy if she thinks about it.
After the second sister got married and returned to the door, the Xu family was unusual, and she pretended to be sick and didn't come to the room to ask for peace. even tried his best to keep the eldest master in his house.
She won't just leave her daughter's business at that. But she won't be as stupid as Zhong's, she can't calculate people, but she loses her life. Only by taking revenge on the eldest lady can she feel less pain in her heart. With Aunt Xu's overt and secret trouble, the eldest lady didn't have time to come to the backyard to trouble.
In the early spring, a hysteria, the starling was infected. In the imperial examination in late spring and early summer, Mu Yu and Cao Yangming finally lived up to their expectations. After a series of events such as the marriage of the second sister in late summer and early autumn. At the beginning of autumn, the shogunate finally calmed down. The days of the morning snow also returned to the same as before.
But such days did not last long, and the eldest lady took the fourth sister and began to visit various mansions. Mu Chenxue didn't want to go with her, but because the third sister begged the eldest master, for the sake of fairness, the eldest lady had to bring her with her.
And since the Fang family's son Cao Yangming has the fame of Xiucai, the Fang family no longer feels inferior in the shogunate. Every day, my back is straight, and I speak louder than before. And Jinxia, the slave maid who served the Fang clan, was also more respectful than before.
Even the eldest lady, who has always been indifferent, saw the Fang clan at this time, although it was not affectionate, at least she no longer had a cold face. And the Liang family is a happy guest of the feast, but it is a pity that the shogunate is not in charge of her, otherwise I am afraid that it will be more lively.
After Mu Yu and Cao Yangming took the meritorious examination, they no longer followed their previous masters. Instead, he studied with a "fellow jinshi" with Mu Peng.
The so-called "Mrs. Tongjin Shiru." "This is the Jinshi court will be entrusted with an official position, but after the "same jinshi", you need to donate officials, if you don't have a lot of money at home, you can't enter the court as an official. Liu Tongjinshi, who came to the shogunate to sit in the museum, had a poor family, and although he was famous, he could only make a living by teaching. However, in the opinion of the eldest master Mu Qian, this person is also a little talented, but his luck is not good, so he is only filial piety to a "fellow jinshi", so he hires him as a family master for fifty taels a month.
And the previous master, because he only taught starlings alone, although his cultivation was reduced, his treatment was far worse than before. Although a daughter was married in the house, because there was another master, the cost was greater than before. Makuken's monthly routine is not high, and he can't even cope with the expenses of the house. Moreover, the few shops in his hand were originally very profitable, and the output of several Zhuangzi was even more mediocre.
After the autumn, the eldest lady has to go to various mansions as a guest, and the exchange of favors and gifts of money and ceremonies makes the already stretched shogunate even worse.
Regarding the current situation of the shogunate, although the shogunate was aware, he did not care. Anyway, she and her mother, brother, and brother's monthly routine is just as good as they receive every month. Aunt Cheng, on the other hand, was a little worried, afraid that the shogunate would continue like this, and when her daughter got married, she was afraid that the dowry would not be as good as the second sister.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Mu Qian was working all day long for the shortage of money in the house, but at the time of the autumn harvest, it rained heavily for ten days in a row, and he saw that the crops that were about to grow were all soaked in water at once. None of the Zhuangzi were spared, and all of them were harvested.
Makuken traveled around for days on end, trying to recoup some of his losses. But in the end, it's still a wasted job. And because of the natural disaster, the shops in the city have also been affected, and two shops have not even had a single customer for ten days. The only cloth village that made money was soaked by the rain because of the heavy rain in a row, and some fabrics were soaked by the rain because of improper storage. Troubles one after another, even if Mu Qian is a man, he feels a trace of hopeless helplessness, the whole person has lost weight, not to mention, and he is tired and sick.
Several shops and granges of the shogunate were damaged one after another. But the grange and shop in the morning snow are profitable. She was born in the University of Agricultural Sciences, and in the first year, she was in order to maintain the land and observe the ability of her subordinates. There was no guidance. But at the beginning of this year, she raised the seedlings and soaked the seeds according to her own method, so the harvest was completed before the heavy rain came. At this time, the land is fertilized, so there is no loss of food. The business of the dim sum shop, because there are new products launched every month, and there is the support of the supply of goods produced by the grange, so the business has not been affected, not to mention, because the price of grain in the county has soared, and the dim sum is more expensive than before, but it is also more prosperous.
The inn not only provides business travel accommodation, but also provides food and drink. Not only that, the store environment is clean, the price is fair, and except for the three months at the beginning of the year, the profit is also good. (To be continued.) )
