Chapter 15
Of course, Shi Wang and Shi Xue were very reluctant, but firstly, Shi Nai, Shi and Shi Xue brothers had made up their minds, as wives, they naturally couldn't resist their husbands, and secondly, this matter was related to the future of the title and husband, and they didn't dare to take risks. I had to watch my husband sell his Zhuangzi and shop one by one, and then it was not enough, although the two of them were a little angry, but they were sincere to their husband and the Shi family, and immediately proposed to sell their dowry, but they were stopped by the Shi Nai brothers.
"Your dowry is reserved for the children, how can we use it! You don't care about this, I'll think about it. ”
Shi Wang's and Shi Xue's gratitude to their husbands, "Master Hou, we are all a family, we should share weal and woe, and we will first think about returning this silver." If the money is gone, you can earn it later, as long as the person is okay. ”
Shi Wang and Shi Xue begged again and again, and the Shi Nai brothers had no choice but to agree.
Shi Xiangyun also knew about the recent series of turmoil in the Shi family, she thought about it, found Mama Wei, and entrusted the old lady to resell the shops she had given herself, and the silver sold, plus her savings over the years, made up enough 20,000 taels of silver, and handed it over to the second aunt when there was no one.
"Second aunt, these are the shops that the old lady gave me, I asked Mama Wei to sell them, the sale is a little urgent, there is not much silver, the second aunt will take it, it is my heart."
Shi Wang was a little moved, "Good boy, this is given to you by the old lady, you can keep it!" Your second uncle is here, and the silver is enough. ”
Shi Xiangyun smiled, "Second aunt, I am also a member of the Shi family, these are what I should do." Second aunt take it! After speaking, he stuffed the silver ticket into Shi Wang's hand, turned around and ran away. That's all she can do, and as for what her father left her, don't think about it. Don't think she doesn't understand, the old lady has looked at her with complicated eyes these days, isn't she just thinking that she can take the initiative to take out the things left by Shi Yan, is she so virgin? took my father's title, tarnished my father's reputation, and still wanted to use my father's things to fill the gap in the family? How can there be such a good thing! Since you have inherited the title, you should also bear the corresponding debts. That's the right thing to do!
After the rest of the Shi family learned of Shi Xiangyun's actions, they reacted differently. Mrs. Shi was faintly disappointed, just that she was still a child, how could she expect her to understand what she meant! Everyone is always a family, at this time, it is very important to be in the same boat and get through difficulties together, the Shi family is good, she can be good! It's just that she can do this, and it's not bad. The days are still long, and I can always teach her well.
Shi Mo and Shi Xue were a little moved, a person as small as Yun Yatou, who has no longevity, can also have such a mind, and to do this, he is worthy of being the child of the eldest brother. Thinking of his handsome eldest brother, Shi Yan also shed a few tears, "In the future, take care of more cloud girls!" ”
Shi Xue also nodded, yes, as soon as this silver is returned, the Shi family will basically be empty, and the future will definitely not be easy. Other children still have their parents to make up for it, but Yun Yatou is miserable, although there is still an old lady, but she can take out 400,000 taels at once, and the old lady estimates that she doesn't have much savings.
As for Shi Nai, after Shi Wang's family told him about the 20,000 taels of silver and Shi Xiangyun's actions in the evening, Shi Nai's eyebrows furrowed.
"Master Hou, what's wrong?" Shi Wang asked.
"Hmph, nothing!" Shi Nai looked at the 20,000 taels of silver on the table, and couldn't help but sneer, "If the things left by the eldest brother are still there, let alone 20,000 taels, even 200,000 taels, 400,000 taels are also available!" With these, why is this the Mansion of the Marquis of Bowling and the Marquis of Zhongjing! ”
Shi Wangshi was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and sighed: "Yes! If those things are still there."
Outside the door, Shi Ziren's footsteps stopped, he also heard what his eldest sister did, and he was moved, but he only felt that he was really ashamed as a big brother, so he also took all his savings over the years with his grandmother, exchanged it for 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and wanted to give it to his father. Who would have thought that he would hear such words from his father!
Why does my father always think about things that don't belong to him, not to mention that the things left by the uncle are gone, even if they are still there, they are also the eldest sister's. If the eldest sister doesn't speak, how can others touch it! But when my father and mother mentioned this, they all spoke in a natural tone. Why is this so?
Shi Ziren was a little confused for a while.
Inside the house, Shi Nai's brows were furrowed, and he paced back and forth on the ground, "Although the silver has been almost, in this way, within ten years, the Shi family will not be able to recover its vitality, I am a man, it's nothing, it's just going to hurt you and the children." If the eldest brother's industry is still there, our family can be better. Shi Nai thought for a moment, "I always felt that this matter was not that simple. Big brother's stuff won't be so out of thin air. There must be something we don't know. ”
Shi Wang was silent, and she didn't know what to say.
Shi Nai thought about it again and again, and he still had to pay more attention to this matter. Whether or not the eldest brother really appeared, he had to figure out where those things went!
At this time, suddenly the voice of the maid came from outside the door, "Brother Ren, why are you standing here?" Are you here to find Mrs. Hou? Why not go inside! ”
Shi Nai and Shi Wang's reacted, and Shi Wang's hurriedly greeted him, "You kid, since you're here, why don't you come in?" ”
Shi Ziren lowered his head and handed over the silver ticket in his hand, "Madam, this is a little bit of my son's heart, Mrs. keep it!" ”
Shi Wang and Shi Nai looked at it, and when they saw that it was 10,000 taels of silver tickets, they immediately understood where the money came from, Shi Ziren is still a child now, and he has no long things, these silver tickets should have been obtained after he sold them and received various gifts over the years!
Shi Wang was both distressed and moved, "Silly boy, what are you doing!" That's where your money is used. What do you do? That piece of jade didn't deserve it, did it? That was hung for you by your grandfather when you were born, and that piece of jade alone was more than 10,000 taels of silver! ”
Shi Ziren lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "No." I didn't take any commemorative gifts from my elders, I only used them as some toys and ornaments. Master, wife, son went back to study. Good night sir, good night madam. He bowed, turned and went out.
Shi Nai and Shi Wang looked at Shi Ziren's back as he turned to leave, opened their mouths, but didn't say a word.
"Master Hou, you say, did Brother Ren hear something?" Shi Wang asked.
Shi Nai sighed, "Alas! Brother Ren is good at everything, but he is pedantic to learn from his husband. No, Ming'er will change Mr. Renge'er. ”
When it comes to his son's education, Shi Wang's family is not easy to interject, so he can only look at his son's back with concern.
On the way back, there was no starlight in the sky, it was extremely dim, only the lantern in the maid's hand illuminated a little space. Shi Ziren recalled the scene just now in his mind, and heard that his mother only accepted the silver ticket of the eldest sister after a little excuse, but when it was his turn, his mother cared about this and worried about that. Didn't she think of her eldest sister's situation? Why doesn't she care about what her eldest sister will do in the future without these silvers! He always thought that his family was harmonious, and he always thought that his eldest sister and Xue'er were actually the same, but now it seems that he was wrong.
It's not the same, it's not the same in the end.
Shi Ziren suddenly stopped, looked up at the gray sky, and the maid looked back at him in surprise.
Poor big sister, the Shi family owes you, and the big brother will compensate you in the future.
Shi Xiangyun didn't know about this, of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't take it seriously. After all, people live for themselves, so why should they grieve themselves for the opinions of others!
At this time, she was watching a volume of "Cangzhou Geographical Chronicles" in one hand, and playing chess with Xianglan in the other. These things happened recently, and Shi Xue's family was about to give birth again, and Xianglan had no one to take care of her, so she simply lived in the blue yarn cupboard again, and squeezed together with Xiangyun.
Shi Xianglan bit her lip and thought about it for a long time before she fell into place.
Shi Xiangyun glanced at it casually, picked up the white child, and put it down gently, Shi Xianglan looked at it, and immediately hung her shoulders in frustration, how could this be, she thought about it for a long time before she got it, and the big sister broke it all of a sudden. Woo woo, is there really such a big difference between people and people? The eldest sister is only three months older than herself, how can she be so bad!
"There are mountains outside the mountains, there are people outside the people, and there are many people in the world who are stronger than you! Although my chess skills are better than yours, I am not as good as the Ying Chun sister of the Jia family. Shi Xiangyun saw Shi Xianglan's thoughts and said with a smile.
"Big sister, is that Yingchun sister's chess skills really good?" If you can't go down, you just won't get down. Shi Xianglan pushed the chessboard, leaned on Shi Xiangyun's shoulder, and asked curiously.
"Yes! The four girls of the Jia family, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, each have their own strengths. That's it, the Lin girl of the Jia family is even more extraordinary, Lan'er, you don't like to go out, it's not good. You must know that a mountain is even higher than a mountain, but you can't be arrogant! Shi Xiangyun nodded her forehead and said.
"I know, I know, it's the big sister you remember! Didn't you even make snacks for her today? They returned a basket of fruits from the south! Shi Xianglan said unhappily.
"What are you vinegar about? Didn't the first snack I made go into your stomach? What is there to be upset about. Shi Xiangyun felt a little funny, and it was strange to say, she had complicated feelings about her second uncle and third uncle, but she felt very good about these cousins and cousins, especially Shi Ziren and Shi Xianglan.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm just not happy that my big sister is thinking about others." Shi Xianglan smiled coquettishly.
"Watch out! Catch up with Ming'er, I will take you to Jia's house as a guest, meet Sister Lin, and you will like her too. The sisters of the Jia family are all good, but that Jia Baoyu, stay away from him, don't let him take you badly! Shi Xiangyun muttered.
Shi Xianglan snickered beside her.
