Chapter 195: Greedy Chen Die
"You just favor Lu Caiyun, they drive such a big silk Zhuangzi, and they don't say that they will make you a brocade robe, so that no matter where you go, you will wear court clothes, no wonder relatives and friends dare not approach you." Old Madam Chen complained to her father-in-law.
"Don't dare to approach me, that's the best, the province makes excessive demands on me, and I don't bother to pay attention to them, it's just a bunch of snobs." Chen Shangshu knew that his wife had made friends who were bent on slapping himself up, thinking that he could use his own power to make them rise to the top of the throne.
"People are so good that they are all eunuchs, rich and noble families, it is better than you no matter what your background, as long as you make friends with each other, you see what kind of people you have befriended, there are merchants, and even farmers, if you didn't make friends with the merchant surnamed Lu, our son would not marry the daughter of a merchant as a daughter-in-law." Mrs. Chen still can't let go of her daughter-in-law's identity as a merchant of Lu Caiyun.
"What's wrong with the merchants, don't you, the wife of the official family, also have to rely on the merchants to provide you with food and clothing? Okay, I don't want to argue with you, I'm tired and want to go back to my room to rest. Chen Shangshu always felt that her own lady, since she sat on Shangshu, she was a little unreasonable.
Seeing Chen Shangshu leave the guest room, Mrs. Chen took out the thirty taels of silver from her arms, looked at it, and said in her heart that in addition to ten taels to buy meat, there were still twenty taels left, and she had to figure out how to spend the twenty taels.
At this time, Chen Die came in from outside, saw his mother holding some loose silver in her hand, and hurriedly asked, "Mother, father, have you distributed the money?" ”
"What's the matter, this is where your father just got it from Lu Caiyun." Old Madam Chen looked at Yinzi, her eyes were full of joy. What she likes most is silver, and with silver she can buy anything.
Chen Die heard her mother say that her father asked for the silver from Lu Caiyun, and hurriedly asked: "When did Lu Caiyun get the silver from her father, was it when she opened Zhuangzi?" At that time, I suspected that she had just opened such a big Zhuangzi, where did she get so much silver taels, don't say that it was given by her father, don't forget that she also has an elder brother, even if his brother wants to give her a rich dowry, her sister-in-law will not agree, it turned out that there was a loan of her father's silver taels, that is, let her repay it twice, and return it to us with interest, who made her Zhuangzi prosperous now. ”
Hearing her daughter say this, Mrs. Chen grinned, and said in her heart that her daughter was more powerful than herself, and she just wanted them to take out some silver taels to supplement the family, and her daughter really wanted the whole Zhuangzi.
Seeing that his mother ignored him, he asked again, "Mother, what the hell do you say, did Lu Caiyun take the silver from his father to open the Zhuangzi?" ”
"Fluttershy, you think too much, your father's annual income is only five or six hundred silver taels, and he has to support our expenses, where did the silver taels help her open a Zhuangzi." Mrs. Chen knew what Chen Die meant, she was afraid that she would spend all the money on her son, and there would be no dowry for her when the time came.
"Then why did she give her father silver?" Chen Die didn't understand, Lu Caiyun suddenly gave his father the meaning of silver.
"You think she's stupid, give your father two taels of silver, it's really me who asked your father to find her to come, she drives such a big Zhuangzi, and the food does ask us to pay for Shangshufu, your father only has five or six hundred taels of silver a year, and it has to be spent by the whole house, where is it enough, this is not your father, from Lu Caiyun asked for thirty taels of silver, she promised to pay thirty taels every month to supplement the family, and you and her, as well as the daily expenses of their maids, we don't have to take care of it." Although Mrs. Chen felt that Lu Caiyun's silver was a little less, thinking that their family's expenses did not need to be paid any more, she still felt a lot better.
"We don't need to pay for their expenses, but what about my brother's second and third rooms, don't we need to pay for them?" Chen Die asked.
"She didn't say this, but listening to your brother, they don't want to care about Mei Niang, Gao Yue." Old Madam Chen sighed and said.
"It's all his wife, he doesn't care who cares?" Chen Die said unhappily.
"You can't blame your brother for this, he was also a mother at the beginning, if his mother didn't join forces with others to force him to marry Gao Yue, he wouldn't marry Mei Niang, I also mentioned it to him, but he said that he wouldn't care about them, if he couldn't afford to raise them, let them leave Shangshu Mansion.
"How can he talk like this, he married everyone into the mansion, but now he wants his father to raise him."
"It's not all your father who raised it, didn't they also give thirty taels?" Mrs. Chen touched her son's nose with ashes, and she would not ask him for silver again.
"Since he doesn't raise it, then let Mei Niang and Gao Yue pay their own money." Chen Die only thinks about his own dowry in his heart, where will he care about the life and death of others.
"Why don't I go talk to Mei Niang? Forget it about Gao Yue! Her expenses are not big, clothes, jewelry, almost no need for us to buy, and after all, her aunt is the wife of Su Zhifu, and it is rumored that our Shangshu Mansion cannot afford to support her daughters-in-law, and they have to pay their own silver, which will make people laugh. Old Madam Chen hesitated.
"Whatever you want, but you must go to Mei Niang's place, if she doesn't come out of the silver tael, you can use this as a reason to drive her out of Shangshu Mansion." Chen Die also dislikes Mei Niang's identity, for fear that her family will be affected in the future.
"In that case, it's better for you and me to go together, how did my mother say about their master and servant." It's okay for Mrs. Chen to be tough, but it's not okay to play tricks.
"Yes, but I have one condition, you have to buy me back the pair of jade bracelets I like." Chen Die wants to start saving a dowry for herself from now on.
"You kid, always talk about conditions." Old man Chen blamed.
"Where is this condition, I have been in love with that pair of jade bracelets for a long time, and you always refuse on the grounds that the house spends a lot of money and there is no extra silver to buy jewelry." Chen Die pouted and said.
"Okay, I promise you, after the deed is completed, I will help you buy back that pair of jade bracelets, now you should be satisfied!" Old Madam Chen didn't want her daughter to look too shabby in front of those housekeepers.
"Mother, since you talk about buying jewelry, can you even buy that beaded flower? I've also liked it for a long time. Chen Die looked at her mother and pleaded again.
"No, you can't look at anything, you have to buy it. Your father only gave us a total of thirty taels of silver, and ten taels to buy meat. "Mrs. Chen felt that her daughter was a little bit inch-
