There is also a lot of money
Emperor Mingle's era name is Zhenguang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning of the first year of Zhenguang, two horse-drawn carriages and five ox carts ran out of a large mansion on the outskirts of Wenzhou and went straight to the wharf.
In the first carriage, there sat a young woman with a slightly plump body and a round face, and next to her sat a young man with a slightly white and chubby face.
This woman is the second granddaughter-in-law of the famous Liu landlord in Wenzhou Mansion, Qian's family, and her name is also rich. Sitting next to her was her husband Liu Zhongliang.
Today, Qian Yiduo is going back to her mother's house in Huaxi Village, Xishan County, her brother brought a letter, and the third uncle Qian Sangui's filial piety period has expired, and he will return to Beijing in the New Year. The capital also sent a letter, and Uncle Lobby, Aunt Lobby, Cousin Embroidery, Ning and Wang Ye would all come to Huaxi Village to pick up people.
As soon as the Liu family heard that there were so many nobles going to Huaxi Village, they hurriedly asked their grandson Liu Zhongliang to take his daughter-in-law back to his parents' house. With a good relationship with these nobles, not only will the Liu family's business go to the next level, but the next generation of children will have a much smoother career.
Since Qian Yiduo married into the Liu family, it can be said that life is very good. Although her family background is not obvious, because her third uncle is the grandfather, the uncle is the general of the three products, the aunt is the county lord, the embroidered cousin is the county lord and married into the family of the national prince, and the aunt's father-in-law is the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army. These people, no matter which one they take out, are all things that the officials here can't afford to mess with, and of course, the Liu family can't afford to mess with.
Her in-laws treat her very well, and her husband Liu Zhongliang also cherishes her, although there are disagreements between the concubines and some small actions in private, but they dare not openly oppose her on the big side.
Liu Dada's family has thousands of acres of fertile land, and has restaurants in Wenzhou and Xizhou, and is also engaged in shipping business, and is a well-known wealthy man in this area. There is a relative in the family who is a general judge in Wenzhou Mansion, and now there is this in-law again, not to mention that Lord Liu, who is a general judge, looks at his family differently, and even the prefect will give Liu a little bit of thin noodles to the big landlord.
Liu Da landlord had two sons. The eldest son, Master Liu, also has two sons, namely Uncle Liu and Third Master Liu, the eldest and third masters have married, and the daughters-in-law are Hu and Chen.
The second son, Second Master Liu, has two sons, namely Second Master Liu and Fourth Master Liu, Second Master Liu Zhongliang is a man with a lot of money. Although Liu Zhongliang is the second, because he has to wait for this little daughter-in-law and Lu, he got married later than Liu Sanye.
At the beginning, Liu's grandmother Hu and Liu's third grandmother Chen heard that the new daughter-in-law was from a high family, and they were still a little weak-hearted, but after seeing the new daughter-in-law's dowry and the person who gave the marriage, they felt a little more confident in their hearts.
Qian Dagui gritted his teeth and prepared an extra 1,000 taels of silver for Qian Yi, and Qian Sangui sent someone to send 1,500 taels of silver and several sets of head noodles and four palace satin to add makeup. Because the third room gave Qian Manting 1,500 silver, he gave a lot of this amount. Qian Dagui and Wang took the 2,500 taels of silver to buy a rich dowry, including land, shops, head and face ornaments, and 500 taels of silver. In Huaxi Village, it can be said that ten miles of red makeup has made the eyes of the villagers shine.
But these decent dowries are not much compared to the other daughters of the Liu family who were born in the rich family. Especially the Hu family and the Chen family, their maiden families are all merchants, and the dowries of the two concubines are more than 10,000 taels.
Mrs. Liu was very proud, and said to her two daughters-in-law in private, "Your second aunt still brags every day, saying that she has found a daughter-in-law from a high family." I'm just a mud leg with a noble family, and I'm also a high-ranking person. ”
Said Hu and Chen Zhile.
On the second day of the wedding, Qian Yiduo entered the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Liu family and recognized his relatives. The Liu family is a big family, many relatives from far away have come, and it is already noon after recognizing their relatives, and Qian Yiduo is already hungry.
When it was time to eat, she, the bride, couldn't hold back and ate more. When she was full of food and put down the bowl, she realized that the people at the table looked at her a little strangely, and she blushed.
The next day, she overheard someone laughing at her, "It's a relative of Houmen, and it's also a country mud leg, as if she has never seen meat in her life." ”
"Maybe he hasn't eaten meat in his life, Houmen is his third uncle's house, not hers. Hee-hee......"
Qian Yiduo was very sad when she heard it, she didn't feel sorry for herself, but felt embarrassed by her father-in-law.
At dinner, she held back her appetite and ate very little, barely with meat. disappointed the sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law, and relatives who were waiting to see her jokes.
At night, she was extremely hungry, but she was too embarrassed to eat in front of her husband. But the smell of the snacks on the table kept drilling into the nostrils, and the stomach was gurgling.
She saw Liu Zhongliang holding back her laughter and cried with shame.
Liu Zhongliang saw that his little wife was crying in shame, and hurriedly coaxed, "Don't cry, this is a normal reaction." I didn't eat enough, but my stomach was screaming. ”
Qian Yiduo was even more embarrassed, sobbing and crying, "Second master, I'm sorry, I embarrassed you." I've been able to eat since I was a child, and I love meat, but I can't change it. I'm hungry this afternoon, so I ate more, and people saw the jokes......"
Liu Zhongliang hugged her and said, "Those people who laugh at you are fake Sven, and behind your back, you may be able to eat more." Whoever makes his daughter-in-law hungry should be laughed at. Our old Liu family is rich and wealthy, and we will not do these harsh daughters-in-law's things. ”
Qian Yiduo was still a little uncertain, and asked, "Doesn't the second master blame me for being disgraced?" ”
Liu Zhongliang shook his head and said, "Of course it's not weird. It is a blessing to be able to eat, and some people want this blessing yet. ”
Qian Yiduo was moved, and let Liu Zhongliang eat enough at night.
Liu Zhongliang had a room girl before, and he had already sent out before marrying a lot of money. He has long been familiar with personnel, and he has always felt that women generally can't bear the man's enthusiasm the next day after they are broken, but he didn't expect his little daughter-in-law to be able to bear it. The daughter-in-law has good bones, and this aspect can also make the husband satisfied. In this way, it is still necessary to let the daughter-in-law eat more meat and eat more meat.
And Mrs. Liu, the mother-in-law of the landlord Liu, also complained to the landlord Liu in the room, "The old lady also said that the second granddaughter-in-law is good, what is good?" It's like you've never eaten meat in your life. Ouch, when I saw the eyes of my relatives, I didn't feel sorry for her. This is going to spread out, saying that our old Liu family married a hungry leper as a granddaughter-in-law, and our old face has nowhere to put it. Mud feet are mud legs, and no matter how many high-ranking relatives there are, they can't change their virtues. ”
The landowner Liu sneered, "A woman with short knowledge, you are stupid." Those women laugh at you on the surface, do you think they are really laughing? They were jealous, jealous that our family had such a good in-law. It is true that the parents of the second granddaughter-in-law are mud-legged, but the third uncle of the family is strong, including the general Hou Ye, the county lord and the county lord, and two noble relatives. Even General Huo is trying to find a way to be in-laws with the Qian family, can we still be higher than the Huo family? Don't follow those mothers-in-law in the future, the second granddaughter-in-law should be spoiled. He pinched his sparse beard and smiled, "There is a lot of money, not only the relatives are good, but the names are also good." If our Liu family marries her, the silver will definitely flow home. ”
Mrs. Liu secretly said in her heart, the Qian family has been in her mother's house for more than ten years, and she has not seen the silver flowing to her house. But he didn't dare to be stubborn, nodded yes, but he didn't think so, and he didn't look down on this Qian's little family spirit in his heart.
Mrs. Liu, a serious mother-in-law who also has a lot of money, didn't care, and persuaded the second master Liu, who was unhappy after hearing the rumors, "It's a blessing to be able to eat, look at the face and body bones of the second daughter-in-law, and at a glance, she can give birth." Later, she will give us a few more grandchildren, and those who are shallow-eyed will die of greed. ”
The Hu family married into the Liu family for six years and only gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the Chen family was not pregnant for a year after marrying. Uncle Liu and Liu Sanye's concubines also only added a girl to each of them.
Mrs. Liu was also talking to Mr. Liu about the money, "What else do you say about the high gate, and I am embarrassed to eat meat." I heard people say that rewarding people gives a lot of money. Ouch, where does our Liu family have a lot of money to reward people, and even our faces are lost. ”
Master Liu scolded, "Put away your little thoughts, the Qian family is in my father's picture, if my father knows that you are indulging in nonsense, even I will eat and hang." No matter how unbearable the Qian family is, there are also noble relatives, and they can't offend her for the future and future of their children and grandchildren. ”
After scolding, he went to the concubine, and Mrs. Liu was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Half a month later, Mrs. Liu led her two daughters-in-law and three granddaughters-in-law to Daci Temple to burn incense, praying that her four grandsons could be admitted to Xiucai, and hoped that the three granddaughters-in-law would have more sons.
After burning the incense, Mrs. Liu donated 1,000 taels of silver for sesame oil.
Usually, it is enough for the big boss to donate silver, but today Mrs. Liu said to her two daughters-in-law, "In order to show your piety, you add some sesame oil money yourself, and others can't add it on your behalf, so pray that the Bodhisattva can bless you with more sons." ”
When Hu and Chen heard this, they both smiled and said, "What my mother-in-law said is reasonable. And one of them donated five hundred taels of sesame oil money.
Qian Yiduo's face turned red all of a sudden, and all the silver in her box added up to only five hundred taels, and she didn't bring it with her. Even if she brought it with her, she was reluctant to donate it all. I had to donate the silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver in my purse.
Mrs. Liu didn't look down on the little family with a lot of money, but now she saw that her eldest grandson's daughter-in-law and second granddaughter-in-law had happily donated five hundred taels in order to have a son. Shen Yan said, "Third granddaughter-in-law, the clothes you are wearing are made of palace satin, and you should be more generous in your work." ”
Qian Yiduo no matter how wide his mind was, after hearing this, he saw the teasing eyes of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law and the dark expressions of the subordinates, and he was still a little sad in his heart. I didn't feel that my eyes were red, and I wanted to cry but I didn't dare, so I had to endure it.
Second Mrs. Liu knew that this was the eldest lady deliberately squeezing her daughter-in-law, but the old lady was partial to the big house, so she didn't dare to talk too much when she was angry.
In the evening, Qian Yiduo said this to Liu Zhongliang with great shame, "Second master, I'm sorry, I've embarrassed you again......"
Liu Zhongliang listened, got up and went to the study to get a lacquered gold box and handed it to her, and said with a smile, "Here you go, this will be your dowry in the future, and you can spend it as much as you want." ”
There are two layers of boxes, and the first layer is also opened by Qian Yiduo, and there are ten silver ingots neatly stacked inside, and there is a stack of five gold bars in the innermost. Then open the second floor, and there is a stack of silver tickets inside, and after counting, there are two thousand taels of silver.
Qian Yiduo was surprised, and he didn't dare to accept it, so he pushed the box over and said, "Second master, you gave me so much money, and your in-laws will be angry when they find out." ”
Liu Zhongliang smiled and pushed the box to her again, and joked in a low voice, "It's really a sincere character, and I don't dare to ask for money." He added, "Don't worry, these are my private money, most of which I earned from my own business, and some of it I have accumulated over the years, and my father and eldest brother don't know it." ”
Qian Yiduocai put away the box with a smile.
The next day, Mrs. Liu called Qian Yiduo again and gave her 500 taels of silver tickets and 50 taels of broken silver. said, "Don't be angry with those few people, take care of your body, and give birth to a big fat boy in the next year to be hard." In the future, when you reward decent people, you will use broken silver to save others from talking. ”
The words are not good, but they are good for her. I thanked the money and took it.
Later, the big landlord Liu somehow heard about this and scolded the old lady and the eldest son, saying that their eyelids were shallow, and if they offended the Qian family, they didn't know how the Liu family died. If you dare to do this again, let those mothers-in-law roll up and go home.
After that, Mrs. Liu and her two daughters-in-law no longer dared to make trouble blatantly.
A month later, it was found out that Qian Yiduo was pregnant, and gave birth to a big fat boy weighing seven pounds in the new year. Happy Liu, the landlord praised the Liu family for marrying a good granddaughter-in-law, and rewarded him with 1,000 taels of silver.
In less than half a year, Qian Yiduo became pregnant again, and gave birth to a seven-pound fat boy the next year. And the big house still has only one grandson.
In the same year, because of the relationship between the three rooms of the Qian family, Liu Siye, who was a talented person in the Liu family, entered Songpan Academy to study. This made Liu Dada's landlord look at money more differently.
Now, even Mrs. Liu is much better for money, and Mrs. Liu can't be angry anymore.
Especially after Emperor Mingle ascended the throne, Qian Yiduo's status in the Liu family was even more transcendent. You must know that Emperor Mingle often played with Qian Yiduo when he was a child.
What the big landlord Liu loves to show off to others now is that his granddaughter-in-law used to eat at the same table with the current emperor, and she is also the little cousin that the county lord of Jinxiu finally loves.
Qian also married into the Liu family for four more years, and the Liu family's business was much bigger, not only because they were shrewd enough to make money, but also because they had noble in-laws, and there were no officials and peers to set them up.
In the carriage, Liu Zhongliang saw Qian Yiduo smiling at Mimi, and joked, "I'm going back to my parents' house, you haven't closed your mouth since yesterday." ”
Qian Yiduo closed his mouth and pouted, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen Sister Xiu for several years, and I really miss her." and Yonghe Wangye, when he was still a little monk......" he blushed and told him about persuading Yonghe Wangye, who was still a little monk, to eat meat when he was a child.
Wang Zhongliang laughed after hearing this, and said, "If you are not in the temple, the Bodhisattva can't see it, and the monk can eat meat?" Prince Yonghe must have been frightened by you. ”
Qian Yiduo also laughed and said, "No, the prince of Yonghe is so frightened that he recites the Buddha." ”
