Fang's mother shook her head and said, "I didn't go today, the girl said that she was going to give the eldest lady and find a maid to serve by the lady's side." ”

Crimson continued: "The girl is thoughtful, and now the eldest lady is in charge of the fourth room, and it is better to get some objects and make it clear to the eldest lady." ”

Mother Fang recognized the same and said, "No, I see that the girl is becoming more and more ladylike, and she will not be far behind in the future." It's a pity that Madame is not blessed to see the girl grow up. ”

The two sighed several more times about the death of Chu He and Duan. After a while, the white fungus pear soup was boiled, and Fang's mother put a few ice cubes and brought them into the hall. Leaving Crimson alone in the ear room, thoughtful.

Because tomorrow is the day of the funeral of Chu He and Duan, Subei Hou and Chang called Chu Pei, Chu Qing and Liao, and Zhou to discuss the funeral together.

The Marquis of Subei led Chu Pei, Chu Qing received the male guests in the front yard, the Chang family and the Liao family, and the Zhou family greeted the female relatives in the inner courtyard. and who entertained whom came.

After the funeral matters were properly discussed, Chang mentioned again: "Second brother, third brother, there is something I want to discuss with you again." I also mentioned to my second brother and sister and third brother and sister before, although our four heads of the house are separated, they are all brothers-in-law, and now that the fourth room has suffered such a big thing, we should try our best to help. Half of the expenses for this funeral were made out of the clan, and the other half I thought about half of our other three rooms. We took a big house and gave five hundred taels of silver. You can go out of your own room. ”

Needless to say, the third room is already attached to the long room, so naturally he does not dare to have any objections to what Chang said. Moreover, the iron rooster of the Liao family in the second room, the second room can't produce much silver, and the third room can't go beyond the second room, so it naturally has to decrease. Although it is a lot of silver for a hundred or two, it is still acceptable for a third room. Zhou was struggling with calculations in his heart.

The Liao family couldn't bear it, and originally quarreled with Chu Pei because of this, and thought it would be put aside, but he didn't expect Chang to mention it again in front of so many people. Then he said: "Sister-in-law, although the four rooms are gone, but there has always been no shortage of money, unlike our second room, the population is the largest, the cost is large, our second master does not have a big brother, the third brother and the fourth brother have the same money in the army, and there is not much silver from the clan in a year." If you want me to say, this help is not only limited to silver, but also can we do more in the second room. ”

Chu Pei's face turned red by Liao's words, he was in charge of the housework, can he not know how much silver was divided into the second room? The dividends are distributed according to the head, and the second room is 1,000 taels more than the fourth room. It's really unreasonable to use this as an excuse, and besides, the other houses are all out of silver, and the second room is not out, and it must not be criticized by the clansmen? In this way, how will he manage the affairs of the clan in the future?

Chu Pei scolded: "You are not a virtuous woman, sister-in-law Zhang Luo is helping the four rooms, you still calculate this and that, are you still Huiyu's aunt?" It's all in the eyes of money. Such an unvirtuous person, where is he worthy of being the housewife of our second room! ”

Although the Liao family quarrels with Chu Pei from time to time at home, it is also a complaint, because of his mother's inadequacy, he is still very in awe of Chu Pei in his heart, Chu Pei roared like this, Liao immediately wilted, and muttered: "I don't mean that I must not give it, that is, to discuss and discuss, since our master said so, then our second room will naturally be released, the sister-in-law will pay five hundred taels, and the second room will pay three hundred taels." ”

Who knew that Chu Pei didn't look at Liao's family, and said: "Although our second room is not rich, but the matter of our brothers naturally needs to be helped, so we will pay four hundred taels." ”

Liao's heart was bleeding when he heard this, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to grit his teeth and admit it.

Another heartache is none other than the Zhou family, who thought that the Liao family, who followed the door, could make less money, but was so stirred up by Chu Pei that the third room couldn't afford to pay less, so he had to pay three hundred taels hard.

Chang was very satisfied with this result, and asked the second and third rooms to send the silver to the fourth room by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

The Marquis of Subei saw that he had nothing to order, so he let everyone disperse.

In the evening, Subei Hou went to Ziling Courtyard for dinner.

Aunt Yang personally cooked a few small dishes that Subei Hou loved to eat, and after the two finished eating, Aunt Yang took out the tea set to make tea, and Subei Hou was full of tea, and her mood was still relatively happy.

Aunt Yang looked at Su Beihou in a good mood, and took a moment to ask, "I heard that the eldest young master of the Anguo Mansion also came to the funeral this time?" ”

Su Beihou said "um", which was an answer.

Aunt Yang saw that Su Beihou closed her eyes and recuperated, so she walked to the back and massaged Su Beihou's shoulders.

After a while, the strength was just right, and Su Beihou felt very comfortable.

Although Subei Hou is not a person who covets women and spoils his wife and concubines, it is undeniable that he is still more willing to come to Ziling Courtyard than Hongfeng Courtyard.

Aunt Yang always caters to him, cooks side dishes, makes some good tea, and gives him a massage when she sees him tired.

But this person always likes to be comfortable, and finally came back from the army to rest for a few days, who doesn't want to find a gentle country?

Su Beihou enjoyed Aunt Yang's massage, and his consciousness began to drift.

Suddenly, I heard Aunt Yang say softly: "I heard that the eldest young master of the Anguo Mansion is dignified and handsome, and I don't know if I am engaged?" ”

After speaking, I didn't see any reaction from Su Beihou, and I don't know if he fell asleep.

But this has started a lot, and it can't just be left to end, right?

Aunt Yang had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "I don't know which girl has the good life to be the eldest and youngest grandmother of this Anguo Mansion, and she has all the face." Speaking of which, our sister Dan is also thirteen, and it will be time in two years, if you can also find a family like the eldest young master of the Anguo Mansion, the slave will have no regrets in this life. ”

Su Beihou sneered a few times, knocked Aunt Yang's hand off, and said, "You are really delusional. Don't say that Zewu has already decided on the daughter of the Zuo family, even if she is not engaged, she can't take Sister Dan's turn. The daughter of the concubine, why do you still want to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the country's mansion? After Sister Dan's marriage, her own wife will be in charge. ”

Aunt Yang was frightened, knelt on the ground and said, "Master Hou is angry, the slave doesn't mean this." How could the slave not know Sister Dan'er's identity, and never dare to think about it. ”

Subei Hou snorted: "It's good to know, as long as you and Sister Dan stay well, my wife and I will find a decent marriage for Sister Dan." If you do something to lose the face of the Hou Mansion, don't blame me for ignoring Sister Dan'er's face! ”

Aunt Yang naturally responded again and again, Subei Hou was so troubled, and she was not in the mood to stay in Zi Ling Courtyard, and remembered that she would have to discuss with Chang again tomorrow, so she walked towards Red Maple Courtyard.

After Subei Hou left, Aunt Yang dared to stand up.

was embarrassed like this, Aunt Yang was also extremely embarrassed, and said: "I just said that it was not possible, but I have to try." "I finished and hurriedly went to the Liuli Pavilion.

As soon as she entered the Liuli Pavilion, Aunt Yang dismissed all the maids in the house, and said: "My girl, I told you a long time ago for my mother, this matter is impossible, you have to ask your father, but your father was furious just now, and only said that he should not be delusional to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Guogong Mansion, and said that in the future, your family affairs will be decided by your own wife, and you will not let me ask!" ”
