Chapter 118 The Zhu family asks for money
Linglong was not in a relaxed mood when he left the courtyard of the old lady Su, this time he really didn't plan to ask for the silver of the second elder of the Su family, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, and the old lady insisted on giving so much in one bite.
Thinking about it, even if he didn't say those words, the old lady would do it, he would marry into the Liang family, if he didn't even have the treatment of his concubine, the Su family would feel embarrassed.
It's a pity that when I said that, everyone will think that they are retreating and advancing, and they are asking the old man for money in disguise!
Alas, it is still not necessary to go out, there are many people.
Linglong expected it to be good, as soon as the news came out, the eldest aunt Zhu couldn't wait to go to the old lady's yard to ask for money.
One is for his married eldest son Su Jueran, Su Jueran only spent a total of 20,000 taels of silver when he became a parent, 10,000 taels in the public school, the old lady made up 5,000 taels, and the Zhu family made up 5,000 taels by himself, as for why it was relatively little, the main thing was that Su Jueran's father-in-law's family was too clear, although the official position was not low, but the two sleeves were clean, and the Ma family's dowry was only 5,000 taels.
At that time, the Zhu family complained about this, but the family matter was set by the old man, and she couldn't help it, but she had to come back with the difference of 10,000 taels of silver.
Moreover, her daughter Lingxuan is about to enter the palace for the draft, no matter whether it can be done or not, these 20,000 taels must be in hand.
By the way, she also counted Su Lingman, although Su Lingman is a concubine, but she is lucky enough to enter the palace draft, isn't it? Lingman is a concubine, and his father Su Bingquan is a concubine!
Although Su Linglong is a concubine, isn't his father a concubine? Back then, he took nearly 100,000 taels of silver from the palace, and he was unhappy to think about it, so Lingman must have a share this time.
Zhu counted with his fingers one by one in front of Mrs. Su, and Mrs. Su was already angry, but fortunately, she still had many years of cultivation. just stared coldly at his daughter-in-law.
"Mother, can you favor one over the other, our family Jueran and Lingxuan are your grandchildren, what is she Su Linglong? Why do you get so much? If she takes so much, then what is our family? ”
Old Mrs. Su looked at her with a cold face and said lightly: "What do you mean...... Do you want the old body to give you 50,000 taels now? ”
"This is the least, we can't let Lingxuan be compared to that wild girl, right? It stands to reason that we feel that Lingxuan is the eldest son and eldest daughter, and everything should be doubled compared to others. The concubine also knew that the family was not very rich. Don't have more, 50,000 taels is enough! ”
Old Lady Su slowly closed her eyes, and she could feel the blood vessels on her head pounding.
The dead old man. I asked him to come over and discuss, what did she bring that wild girl for? The wild girl pretended to say a few words, he didn't care about anything, and went out with a wave of 20,000 taels of his big hand!
Although she didn't plan to deduct too much. But with so many grandchildren staring at it below, you can't favor one over the other. If you want to add, you can't add it blatantly.
Dead old man, dead old man, all his life has been like this, everything is done according to his mood, leaving a lot of mess and ignoring it. In the end, my wife has to clean it up for him.
Zhu tilted her head and peeked, and when she saw that the old lady closed her eyes and did not speak, she knew that the old lady must be very angry. But this is for the benefit of one's own children, and one must not back down. Otherwise, if you miss this time, there will be no next time!
She waited for a while, and the old lady said slowly: "First, Jueran's family affairs have been completed, and the children are two years old, what dowry do you have to make?"
Second, Lingxuan Lingman entered the palace for the draft and was not married, so whether she could be selected or not was another matter, how could it be counted as a normal marriage? ”
"Old lady, of course Lingxuan can be chosen, aren't you cursing her when you say this?" Zhu added in a low voice: "How can a grandmother curse her granddaughter who can't choose?" ”
"Presumptuous reads;!" There is a limit to how much Mrs. Su can endure, how can she endure being accused by her daughter-in-law in person?
"When did the old body curse her? There are so many women who enter the palace every day to draft the draft, how many are really selected? There are a few who can be named concubines and concubines, you can enter the palace yourself to see, the emperor has been on the throne for more than 20 years, outside the early queen of the harem, there are two concubines, five concubines, and the others are all small masters who are not in the stream, do you think the palace is so easy to mix? ”
Zhu Shi stared at the old lady with wide eyes and trembling lips speechless, the old lady took a deep breath, crackled and scolded in a mood that was smoother, she said lightly:
"Lingxuan is selected or not, it's all a good thing, you have a good life to train her, sharpen his temperament, so as not to cause trouble when he enters the palace, and then it will not be a blessing but a disaster!"
Zhu was a little stunned, what kind of disaster? This old lady is really old and confused, isn't it happy that there is a woman in that family who enters the palace, when did it become a disaster? In this case, who would dare to enter the palace draft?
The old lady stretched out her hand, and the grandmother next to her helped her stand up and walked back slowly, Zhu said urgently: "Mother, the silver ......"
The old lady's footsteps stopped for a moment and tilted her head slightly: "Lingxuan entered the palace for the draft, and the house had to spend a lot of money to make it, but wasn't that silver?" If she can't choose, no matter which family she marries, she doesn't care about spending some money before, and she can subsidize as much as she wants. ”
"That'...... Jueran and Lingman? ”
The old lady felt that talking to this stupid woman was really a headache, she waved her hand, and went in by herself, and the two mothers-in-law came in and bowed: "Big lady, the old lady is going to rest, please go back!" ”
"No, I haven't got a word yet!"
"Big lady! The old lady has spoken so clearly, what more do you need? Let's go, you have an explanation to you that you don't understand! ”
The mother-in-law persuaded her while pulling her out, and finally got the Zhu family out of the yard.
The mother-in-law closed the door and sighed softly: "The old lady is smart, and she has been training the eldest lady for so long, why is she still not enlightened?" ”
"No, the old lady does so many things, not for them, and later...... Everything up and down in this mansion is theirs, in addition to the property of the Su Mansion and the private property of the old lady, it adds up to five or six hundred thousand taels, but the eldest lady is always staring at those small money, alas, what a pig brain. ”
"Ahem~~~"
When the two mothers-in-law heard the voice, they hurriedly lowered their hands and stood in an orderly manner, Wu Sanniang walked up to them and whispered: "You are all old people serving by the old lady's side, and you don't know the old lady's temper?" The old lady is the most taboo for the people in the courtyard to chew the root of the tongue, do you still have the courage to talk about the eldest lady? ”
The two mothers-in-law glanced at each other and pulled their mouths to accompany a smile: "Sanniang, you see that the eldest lady is so angry with the old lady, let's tell the truth, not to mention that we didn't take it out to say!" ”
"It's like, can't we not talk about it in the future? Sanniang can not tell the old lady. ”
Wu Sanniang glanced at them: "Who do you think I am?" And also...... Who spread the old lady who said that she added makeup to Miss Linglong? You guys check it out, this time the old lady is really angry, and she wants to completely clean up the yard reads;! ”
The two mothers-in-law were shocked when they heard this, and Wu Sanniang frowned: "It won't be the two of you, right?" ”
"No, no, how dare we!" The two mothers-in-law are obviously very weak-hearted.
Zhu was sent out of the door by his mother-in-law, stood at the door of the old lady's courtyard for a while, and then turned around and walked back sullenly.
She returned to the yard, Lingxuan and her eldest daughter-in-law Ma were waiting there, Ma warmly greeted her, asked for warmth and brought tea and water, Lingxuan couldn't wait to ask, "Mother, how is it?" Did Grandma nod? ”
Zhu looked up at his daughter Lingxuan thoughtfully, and stroked her cheek with one hand, Lingxuan was inexplicable, and asked urgently: "Mother, what do you say?" ”
Zhu looked at his daughter and sighed lightly: "My Xuan'er is so beautiful!" ”
Lingxuan paused, and then said proudly: "You still need to say? Didn't my mother often say that I was going to enter the palace to be a mother? Oh, mother, what the hell did grandma say? ”
Zhu blinked her eyes and saw her daughter-in-law Ma also looking at her, she took the tea and took a sip slowly, and suddenly looked up and asked, "Xuan'er, let's not go to the draft, can we find a son who is the right person to marry?" ”
Ling Xuan was stunned for a moment: "Mother, what did you say?" I've been working hard for so long, and you're going to hold me back at the end of the day? ”
"No, Xuan'er, I've thought about it for my mother, the draft may not be a good way out, the emperor is almost forty years old today, and you have just turned fifteen ......"
"Mother, do you know what you're talking about? Long live the emperor, naturally live a long life, not to mention that the women who drafted with me are not all of this age? Mother, don't talk nonsense, you just give a quasi-word, will grandma give it or not? ”
"This ......" Zhu hesitated a little.
Lingxuan frowned: "Grandma didn't agree, did she?" Is he old and confused? We are her own grandsons, so what is Su Linglong? A subordinate crawled out of her stomach, what qualifications does she have to take our Su family's things? Shameless! No, I'll go to my grandmother now! ”
"Wait, Xuan'er, don't go, Xuan'er!"
"Mother, don't you use yourself, don't you let your daughter breathe?"
Zhu forced her back and repeated the old lady's words, of course, omitting the part where it was difficult for the show girl to enter the palace.
Lingxuan thought for a while, "Grandma means that I can't get cash if I don't have a draft?" ”
"Probably...... Maybe so? ”
"Mother, what about us?" Ma couldn't wait to ask, Zhu glanced at her, she didn't look down on this daughter-in-law, she was particularly dissatisfied with her occupying her son, and because she was angry in front of the old lady, she naturally didn't have anything good to say to her:
"Don't even think about it, you only have to marry yourself, our Su family's dowry is enough, even if the old lady is willing to give this money, it won't fall into your hands."
Ma Shi was choked and her face turned red and white, she stood with her head down for a while, and then found a reason to leave.
Zhu Shi stared at her back and pouted: "What, dare to throw my face at me, it's really lawless!" ”
"Oh, mother, leave her alone, me? I can't go into the palace without anything, right? No, no matter what, you have to find a way to get grandma to give me the silver, otherwise I won't follow! (To be continued)
