Chapter 440: It Was Her (2)
So, a group of people walked into the living room and sat down in their chairs.
Li Ziyu was pressed on the chair next to her by the eldest lady, and Lu Caifen next to her automatically sat on the third chair, and the people below automatically moved back to the wrong position. But the chairs in the living room were arranged according to the number of masters in the house, and as a result of the wrong position, the youngest daughter-in-law Fan Qiming's eldest son Fan Xinwei's daughter-in-law Wu Yuanrong had no place.
This made Li Ziyu very uneasy, opened her mouth, and didn't know what to say. It's still this Wu Yuanrong who is clever, she beckoned the big girl Chun Rou and said: "Chunrou, bring me a stool, I will make a special case to sit on a stool today, I am tired of sitting on a chair every day, just change it, let me be fresh." ”
Wu Yuanrong is usually a person who doesn't talk much, and tries to pretend to be an adult and pretend to be deep, for fear of being said to be undignified. Today is probably the most talked, and it also reveals the liveliness and wit hidden in the bones.
The second lady Lu Caifen nodded approvingly, and was very satisfied with the cleverness and generosity of her daughter-in-law Wu Yuanrong.
The eldest lady Hao Wendi also glanced at the youngest new daughter-in-law with appreciation, and changed the topic without a trace, looked at Li Ziyu and asked, "Yesterday, I heard from your uncle that you bought a house, which is not bad, isn't it?" ”
"Yes, it's a small building, the location and environment are the best, Yu'er is still very lucky, hehe・・・・・・" Li Ziyu thought of winning a house for nothing yesterday, and at the same time, she felt ashamed.
When everyone present heard this, they fell silent all of a sudden. Qi Shushu's eyes were all staring at Li Ziyu, eager to know what the price of the house was and who paid for it. It's just that. Some people are curious, some are jealous, and some are full of unwillingness.
Although Lin Shengyan was told by her husband and daughter, she couldn't hide her calculating nature in her bones, and at this moment she heard that Li Ziyu had bought a house in Yidu City, so she immediately straightened her back and opened her mouth in a weird way: "Yo." With a good location and a good environment, how much money does such a house cost? Our mother really feels sorry for her cousin! ”
She really couldn't hold it back this time, and she couldn't suppress the resentment in her heart. The third master of her family is a concubine. Don't look at the current scenery, but when the family is separated in the future, there will not be many things, and the big head must be Fan Qilin, the eldest son. Fortunately, my own master is a concubine. I don't want my children to be concubines. So there were no concubines. There are a few girls who don't raise their reputations, and she will pour the decoction in time after going to bed. Hmph, no one wants to give birth to a child and fight for her son over the family property.
She gave birth to a son and a daughter, and she never became pregnant again, probably hurting her body when she gave birth to Raven. She has been recuperating over the years, but she just can't get pregnant. Even if she has fewer children, she can't have less property.
Fortunately, so many sons, grandsons, and granddaughters in the family still haven't got a house. to cheaper people with foreign surnames. How does this work? Does this still make people live?
Fan Shiwen was also on the side of his heart, his lungs were about to explode, and his face was distorted and ugly. Among the unmarried ladies in the house, she is the oldest. But because he wanted to find a son-in-law as a son-in-law, he delayed. Mother-in-law Hao Wendi introduced a few sisters-in-law but gave up because she disliked her weak family background, but who would like to marry a concubine as a wife? She couldn't help it.
If she wants to be a wife, her family will inevitably be thin, and she has to count on the house to accompany her with more dowry, so that she can survive well in her in-law's family. However, she also knew that there were regulations in the government that the minimum dowry for a concubine was 20,000 taels or 50,000 taels, and it would depend on the situation at that time. But the dowry of the concubine is only a few thousand taels, which is simply incomparable with the concubine. This is the rule of the house, and she can't help it.
In addition to Fan Chuyu and Fan Jingyu, their aunts and grandmothers in the previous generation also had a concubine named Fan Qiaoyu, who heard that it was only 5,000 taels of silver at the beginning. And when his sister-in-law Fan Yiwen got married, the house gave 30,000 taels of silver. I don't know how much it is when it's my turn, and it's not just a few thousand taels?
However, why can a young lady from the ravine buy a house in a good location in Yidu City? This house is worth at least twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver. It's just that I can't compare with my daughter-in-law, can't I compare with a foreign cousin? That's unfair, isn't it?
However, she had just been punished, and when she went back, her aunt also told her not to go against her grandmother and grandmother, but to follow them. Therefore, although he was already angry in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and did not have a seizure.
Li Ziyu looked at the faces of everyone present with a smile, and asked Lin Shengyan in a gentle tone: "Third cousin, who did you hear that cousin grandmother bought a house for Yu'er?" ”
Lin Shengyan was stunned for a moment, and said without thinking: "Do you still need to hear about this?" Where did you get the money to buy a house in Yidu City? Doesn't it mean that the countryside is poor? “
Li Ziyu knew that this would be the result, but she didn't want the people in Fan's mansion to misunderstand anything, so she had to tell the details. She restrained the smile on her face and said solemnly: "The countryside is not rich, but Yu'er still has the money to buy a house in Yidu." Yu'er used to be very poor, but now she is living a good life. I can earn at least 10,000 taels of silver per month in Yongfu Tong・・・・・・ "What? You, you・・・・・・ do you have a stake in Wing Fook Tong? Is it true? 10,000 taels in January・・・・・・ Oh my God! Wouldn't that make you rich? Lin Shengyan's face changed quickly under the shock, and she immediately looked at Li Ziyu as if she was looking at a mountain of gold, and she couldn't wait to swallow Li Ziyu into her stomach.
Not only Lin Shengyan, but everyone present was stunned, including Hao Wendi.
The reason why Hao Wendi provoked the conversation today was to let the people in the house know that the house Li Ziyu bought was bought by her own ability. Fan Qilin followed Li Ziyu back to buy a house, and did not say anything about the eldest prince's gift to Li Ziyu's house. He just told his wife that Li Ziyu had tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets on him, and he would not let him pay the silver. The house was bought by Li Ziyu at her own expense, and it didn't cost a penny in the house.
Hao Wendi knew that if the people in the house knew that the Fan family had bought a house for Li Ziyu, it would definitely cause an uproar. Therefore, the money given to her husband at the beginning was their own money in the big house, and the money was not paid from the public account of the house. If it was Li Ziyu's own money, it would be a different matter. Hao Wendi didn't know how Li Ziyu could have so much money, but now when she heard Li Ziyu, she suddenly realized.
Behind Yongfutang is the fifth prince general Junzhang, and this secret is only known to the old lady, the old lady and their couple. Don't look at Junzhang as inconspicuous, but the background is very deep. To what extent, even the old lady can't figure out the details.
At this time, Mama Cao came forward with two maids, carrying teapots to pour tea and water for the masters, which also eased the tension present.
Li Ziyu looked at her without a trace, and saw that this Mama Cao was also in her forties, and she was very kind and kind, and she really could make people feel good about her face. However, Li Ziyu noticed Mama Cao's walking posture. Seeing that her steps were light and she landed silently, she looked like a person with superior martial arts.
She immediately became alert in her heart, if it was a few gossip from her mother-in-law that attracted her attention before, then now she was almost certain that there must be something wrong with this Mama Cao. Such a person would not have noticed her if he had not been suspicious. It's no wonder that the eldest uncle hasn't noticed anything abnormal for so many years, who will pay attention to his wife's dowry? And there aren't many opportunities for the two to meet.
Through Mama Cao's interruption, everyone recovered from the shock that Li Ziyu had shares, and covered up various emotions in their hearts by drinking tea. (To be continued.) )
