Chapter 12: Rumors
Everyone has a prominent ancestor. Eight generations of ancestors have been digging in the soil, which is really rare.
The Ge family is no exception.
When Lao Ge was alive, he loved to brag about what kind of scenery he was back then. The generation of scenery is Lao Ge's grandparents, and Lao Ge was not born at that time.
Lao Ge was convinced that in the previous dynasty, the Ge family had a general, and the Ge family also developed into a big family, but it just declined later.
Regardless of whether Lao Ge's letter is true or not, the family did leave some property. More than a dozen gold bars hidden in the clay pot, Lao Ge and several brothers divided, and Lao Ge got three.
Then Lao Ge left his hometown, thinking about making a career and returning to his hometown. But until Lao Ge went underground, Lao Ge didn't have a chance to go back.
Most of the money was spent, and the rest was hidden by the old woman.
Chen Suyun didn't know about this, thinking that it was the money given by the sisters-in-law. Thinking that the old woman is also pitiful, at such an age, her children are not around, and she must be better to her in the future.
The next morning, Chunhua's depressed feelings dissipated with a good night's sleep, and after breakfast, she was ready to cut cloth and make clothes for her younger sisters.
Chunhua's hands are the most ingenious of the sisters, and the stitches are thin and dense. Because of the lack of knowledge, the pattern can not be drawn, and there are only a few embroidery samples, so the embroidery is not sold at a high price.
"Chunhua, my mother will tell you something." Chen Suyun opened the window for Chunhua to make the room brighter.
"What's the matter?" Spring Blossom was thinking about embroidering some small flowers on the small skirt of Autumn Leaves and Autumn Flowers, and was rummaging for the right color embroidery thread.
"Mother is going to buy Rong Yixuan."
"Mother, don't tease me. I really believe it! "Chen Suyun is not a narrow-minded person, since he said so, it is true. Chunhua smiled happily.
"That's forty-five taels. How did you get so much money? Chunhua asked.
"Your grandmother gave the big head, and our family usually saved a lot. I borrowed some more from your aunt's house, and that's pretty much it. ”
Chunhua's tears fell: "Mother, what are you doing so well to me?" ”
"What are you crying about, you stupid boy?" Chen Suyun hugged Chunhua into her arms, "Mother is not good to you, who is good?" Ah, you have to thank your grandmother for going, she said that she wants to buy it for you. Don't be too angry with your grandma in the future, she is bitter in her heart, and her speech is not good, but it is all for your good. ”
Chunhua sobbed and nodded, "I know." ”
"Don't tell your sister. Dongdong doesn't care about these, the autumn leaves and autumn flowers are still young, so I'm afraid that Xia He will make her temperament. I'm terrible to be messed with by her. Chen Suyun said.
"Got it." Chunhua said, "I don't know how Xia He is doing in Bifu?" ”
Boss Rong didn't expect Chunhua to really come to buy a shop, and he was also happy in his heart. This shop was handed down from his ancestors, and he was very reluctant, if he could have someone he approved to take it, it would be the best.
He signed a contract with Boss Rong and said that it would be officially delivered on the ninth day of the first month of next month.
Such a big thing must not be hidden from other people's eyes.
Originally, there were still people in the village who laughed at the Ge family, and life was getting worse and worse. This is cold, the Ge family bought a shop in the county, and everyone was dumbfounded.
A shop can not be more than thirty taels. Yo yo, the farmer has to do a lifetime of work, right? Even the merchants in the county, most of them don't have their own shops, and they are all rented.
"Why is the Ge family so rich. I can't really see it usually. ”
"Lao Ge was a butcher back then, and he should have earned a lot."
"Huh. You ask Lao He now, he has been a butcher for so long. I looked at it, with an annual income of only four or five taels of silver, their family still had to eat and drink, and there was not much left. ”
"I heard that the widow of the Ge family and Lu Peng are getting along." The topic began to become unbearable.
"Which widow?" The man asked.
The others laughed: "Of course it's the young one." If it's old, Lu Peng will have to gnaw on it. ”
There was a burst of laughter.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't ruin people's reputation." There is also a well-meaning persuasion.
"Hmph, I saw Lu Peng knock on the widow's door. The two chatted for a long time. ”
"Then the Ge family's money to buy a shop, don't be given by Lu Peng."
Many people think so. Sleep the money that the man gets, dirty! Then, looking at the Ge family, his eyes were no longer hot, and he only felt that his family was much more noble than the Ge family.
As the words spread, they reached the ears of Lu Ying's daughter-in-law.
The six brothers of the Lu family, it was a nest of fierce beasts. Lu Peng, Lu Ying, Lu Lion, Lu Hu, Lu Leopard, Lu Xiong.
Because of the large number of brothers, the Lu family was not bullied by the villagers.
Lu Ying's daughter-in-law heard the news and believed most of it. She always felt that her mother-in-law should be biased towards Lu Peng's family, Lu Peng usually hunted and went to the county to do hard work, how much money could he save?
can give so much to the concubine at once, it must be privately subsidized by the old couple of the Lu family.
"Mother, I heard that the Ge family bought a shop." Lu Ying's daughter-in-law pretended not to care when she chose the dishes.
"Really? That's pretty good. Grandma Lu replied with a smile, she was really happy for the Ge family.
"Usually their house, it doesn't look like they can come up with so much money."
"Hey, save people."
Lu Ying's daughter-in-law was anxious, so she wanted to make her words clear: "Didn't the eldest brother have some meaning to Chen Suyun of that family?" ”
"What did you say?" Grandma Lu glanced at her with some complaint, "The child is still here." ”
Lu Peng and Lu Ying's children are chasing and playing around the water tank.
It was really bad to say these words in front of the child, so Lu Ying's daughter-in-law had to swallow the words. In my heart, I believe that the old couple has subsidized Lu Peng a lot.
The more Lu Ying's daughter-in-law thought about it, the more angry she felt, after the sister-in-law went, she was in charge of the family, not to mention, even the eldest brother's children she also helped take care of. Even if there is no merit, there is hard work.
Then Lu Peng can get so much money quietly, she worked so hard, but she didn't even see half a copper.
………………
Bifu.
Xia He works in the small kitchen in the courtyard of the eldest lady. There is not much work to be done in the small kitchen every day, so Xia He will help taste the snacks and set the plates, so that the days are not too comfortable.
Some people are not used to seeing this. Xia He inevitably suffered a small run.
The Chase Bunk where she slept, she was lined up against the toilet, and it couldn't help but smell a little. Xia He was not noisy, so he asked the cook for some dried flowers and stuffed them in his purse and put them next to his pillow.
When eating, Xia He is often told to do things and misses the meal. The rest are not good dishes. The maids in the small kitchen are all born in the family and have never suffered hardships. The food they found difficult to swallow was delicious in Xia He's eyes. I don't dare to put so much oil at home to fry.
