After lunch, the maid removed the cups and dishes, and the old lady pulled An Ruolan to speak again.

At first, I asked how I was used to living in Weiguo Mansion, and then I asked my parents-in-law how she was, and then how Wei treated her. An Ruolan answered in detail one by one, and she had nothing to hide from her grandmother, and when it came to Wei Xing's considerate care for her, the red clouds on her face never dispersed.

Seeing her granddaughter's sweet and shy appearance, the old lady is more effective than taking a reassuring pill, which somewhat makes up for her regrets when she was young, what she couldn't get back then, and now her granddaughter has it, which can be regarded as a comfort.

From An Ruolan's narration, the old lady also heard that she was thoughtful and thoughtful, and she was pleased, but she also did not forget to teach her: "It's good for you to be close to your aunts and sisters-in-law, but you can't forget the etiquette you should have, no matter how good your feelings are, you must respect each other." There must be a degree of getting along with people, and what should be asked and what should not be asked must be clearly distinguished. ”

An Ruolan bowed her head and said, "Grandmother's teaching granddaughter remembers, it's only that it is rare to meet her cousins and sisters-in-law in the future, and her granddaughter wants to be closer." ”

This is to explain that the Hou Mansion was in trouble before, and she also accompanied the sisters-in-law of the Wei family to play around.

The old lady heard it, patted her hand and smiled: "You did the right thing, I didn't want you to come back at that time." ”

leaned closer to her ear and whispered: "Now the matter is settled, but your fifth uncle has hidden us too badly, and grandmother is always not very comfortable." ”

"Fifth uncle?" An Ruolan was startled, and then saw her grandmother's smiling and playful eyes, she had an epiphany, and also lowered her voice and said with a smile: "Grandmother wants to teach the fifth uncle a lesson?" But how did grandmother know that the fifth uncle was the one behind it? ”

She had mentioned her guess to her grandmother before, but she didn't expect her grandmother to find out who was behind it, and she didn't doubt her grandmother's words. It's just curious how grandmother knew.

The old lady smiled incomprehensibly and said, "Your fifth uncle is becoming more and more capable. But he was still not cautious enough, as long as he was in this house. What word escapes my ears? It's also that his heart is not hard enough, and when he saw that your father couldn't sleep well, he said a few words of comfort, and then he accidentally showed his tail. I don't have any definite evidence, but I'm sure he can't get out of it. He raised his eyebrows smugly.

Seeing her grandmother's eyebrows fluttering, with a somewhat childish and naughty look, An Ruolan couldn't help laughing, she knew that her grandmother was not really angry, but she was very depressed in her heart. It's because I want to play tricks on people.

She asked, "What does Grandmother want Lan'er to do?" ”

If she hadn't asked her for help, how could her grandmother have told her this?

The old lady gave her an appreciative look and said, "My granddaughter is still smart, you don't have to do anything, just ignore him, I have my own way to make him suffer." ”

An Ruolan nodded gloatingly.

The grandfather and grandson whispered next to each other, and as they spoke, the old lady mentioned the matter of doing business again, and said, "What you mentioned earlier. Grandmother already has a score in her heart, and the Hou Mansion must not be able to come up with so much silver at once, but who in this mansion doesn't have a private house? If you are interested, it's a big deal to take it out and make it up. In the future, when you earn money, you will divide it according to your share, and you can't waste all your kindness. I don't think anyone will push this money out. After I have consulted with your father and uncle, I will mention it privately to your mother and aunts. See what they say. ”

This approach was beyond An Ruolan's imagination, and after being surprised. She hurriedly said: "I can't help it, everyone's money should stay by your side, just in case." Don't hide it from my grandmother, my granddaughter has already thought about it, if the Hou Mansion is still short of some money, my granddaughter will make up for it first, my father-in-law gave me the gold and silver building of Liyuwu, the income over the years is not a small amount, plus the granddaughter's dowry, how is it enough. ”

In fact, even if she had to give all the money, she could afford it, but it would be difficult to explain it to the Weiguo Mansion, and she knew that her grandmother and father would not agree to her doing this.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard her words, the old lady straightened her face and reprimanded sharply: "What do you want to worry about, the water spilled by the married daughter, don't interfere in the affairs of your mother's family, you just wait for the news." ”

An Ruolan smiled helplessly, she was reluctant to take a bite a moment ago, and now she has become a splash of water? She knew that her grandmother was thinking about her, and she was worried that it would cause her to have a problem with her mother-in-law. After all, no matter how sensible a mother-in-law is, she will not like her daughter-in-law to devote herself to her mother's family.

The old lady on Zhong Siye's side is not worried, he is not short of that little money.

With a roll of her eyes, An Ruolan persuaded with a smile and kind words: "Grandmother listened to me, I didn't give this silver in vain, can I not borrow it?" In the future, the Hou Mansion will earn silver, and it will be the same if you pay me back. ”

Hearing this, the old lady was a little moved, but she didn't agree, but said: "If you want to borrow silver, it's the same to go to the money bank to borrow it, you don't need it." ”

An Ruolan wanted to persuade again, but the old lady interrupted: "Okay, I have received your wishes, and I will do what I intended before, but if it doesn't work, I will go to the money bank to borrow money, and you don't have to worry about it." ”

An Ruolan choked, so she had to swallow the words that came to her mouth.

Originally, the old lady was going to drive her away in the afternoon, but she refused to leave, so she had to stay for dinner, and the old lady was really reluctant to let her go, so she had to agree half-pushed.

In the evening, the men in the house returned to the house one after another, and when they heard that An Ruolan was back, everyone came to see her by asking the old lady for peace, and An Ruolan asked her father, uncles and brothers to say goodbye, and chatted with everyone, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The old lady saw that their brothers and sisters had a rare gathering, so she drove them to the next room to talk, and discussed business with An Shiting and the brothers.

Hearing that he was doing business with Zhong Siye, the brothers were a little moved, and the old lady got straight to the point: "If you just take money from the house, it will definitely not work, I know that several of your brothers have private property, and I don't want you to take the money out for nothing, just treat it as if we are a family to make up a share, how much can be made, it is not easy for Lan'er to win this opportunity, and we can't let her work in vain." ”

After that, she turned to An Shiting and said, "Now that you are in charge, this matter is in your charge, and you must record how much silver each person takes, and when you earn money in the future, we will divide it according to the shares." I'll say first, I can come up with 100,000 taels here. ”

One hundred thousand taels. That's a lot of money for a woman in the house, and it's certainly not the whole story.

An Shiting brothers were surprised at the same time. He also secretly calculated how much money he was going to take.

An Shiyan said without hesitation: "I can ...... here"

Before he finished speaking, the old lady glanced at him and said, "I just mentioned it to you first, and you will think about it slowly when you go back." ”

An Shiyan choked, feeling a little strange, his mother seemed to be dissatisfied with him?

Brothers should be.

When the brothers said goodbye and left, the old lady called a group of grandsons to her eyes, said the same thing, and said, "If you have any intentions." Go to your father or uncle, and go back and mention it to your daughter-in-law, if they want to participate, they can come to me privately, no matter how much, just count it on my head first, and I will make an account for them, and then they will come to me to receive dividends. If you have more, you don't have to ask. ”

Naturally, a woman's private money cannot be known to outsiders, even if she is a man. The old lady did not mean that she was helping her granddaughter-in-law hide her husband, she was just doing things from a woman's point of view. When she met several daughters-in-law, she also wanted to say the same.

In fact, you can also tell a few granddaughters-in-law in private, but the reason why the old lady chose to let An Wensheng say it herself. It was to take the opportunity to remind them that their wives had a private house. But that's not what they're supposed to ask.

An Wensheng's brothers are not people who look at their wives' dowry private rooms, and they all laughed when they heard the words.

An Ruolan pursed her lips and snickered beside her. No wonder the grandmother won the hearts of the people, and did things like this. Which of the daughters-in-law and granddaughter-in-law at the bottom disobeys her and respects her? I only hope that she can do the same as a grandmother in the future.

After dinner, An Ruolan reluctantly left, and before leaving, she asked the old lady if she wanted to tell a few sisters too, so that everyone would be stained.

The old lady said: "Don't talk about it for so long, your sisters are not as free as you." ”

An Ruolan understood the meaning of these words, so she didn't say more.

The old lady mentioned it to the Murong family in private, and it was also recorded in her account first, and then she would take the money from her in the future.

There are many people and great strength, so they are all put together, and there are a lot more than expected, plus the share of the Hou Mansion, there are more than one million taels in total.

To everyone's surprise, An Wenqi took out the most silver, but after thinking about it, everyone expressed their understanding, his paintings have become more and more sought after over the years, and a painting can be sold for a thousand taels at the minimum, plus he opened a shop that sells pen, ink, paper, inkstone and ink treasure, and the money he earns every year is also an objective amount, and it is not difficult to take out these silver.

The second most silver is An Shiyan, mainly because he has a shop on Hengji Island, and he earns a lot of money every year, if he takes out all his private houses, An Wenqi will naturally not be able to compare, but because he is doing business with Zhong Siye, he always wants to avoid suspicion in his heart, so he deliberately hides it.

The rest of the people also took the silver to participate one after another, and there were hundreds of thousands of taels just handed over to the old lady, which shows that the women in the back house are not vegetarians.

Not everyone simply took out the silver, An Siye didn't take a penny, he thought that he didn't even know what kind of business it was, and it was unstable to blindly invest money into it, and he privately voted for King Gong, and his brothers have long been different factions, so naturally they don't mix together to do things together, and it will be easy to distinguish clearly in the future.

Instead, the fourth lady quietly took 50,000 taels and put it to the old lady.

There is another one, that is, An Wenqi's wife Jiang, who only took 1,000 taels. She has the same idea as An Siye, but she doesn't believe that she can make money, and she thinks that doing business is fake, and An Ruolan went back to her parents' house to ask for money, so she complained to the maid in private that the old lady was partial to her granddaughter.

When An Wenqi came out with the silver, the Jiang family was already very dissatisfied, and she was naturally not happy to let her take the silver again. The reason why she took a thousand taels was because she saw that everyone had taken it, and she was not good at being a maverick, so she took it as a charity.

Jiang's little careful thinking could hide from the old lady's eyes, and what she said to the maid reached the old lady's ears word for word, and the old lady only said: "Fortunately, Wen Qi is not the eldest grandson, otherwise marrying such a shallow eyelid, the Hou Mansion will only be more difficult in the future." ”

Mama Song should be, this Jiang is a little smart, and she has a hand in taking care of the shop for the second young master, but her hand is too tight, and she refuses to take it out again, so she doesn't have a long-term vision.

Although it doesn't matter how much, the Jiang family's 1,000 taels are too unacceptable, and the Hou Mansion was in trouble before, An Wenqi wanted to take the silver out to make up for her, and she was not allowed to stop it, and the old lady looked down on this granddaughter-in-law even more.

No matter which of these two things the Jiang family does less, the old lady will still give her some face, but now she won't.

The old lady directly asked Mama Song to return the silver, and asked Mama Song to pass the word: "So that the second young lady knows that the Hou Mansion does not lack her silver, and the sixth aunt and grandmother do not lack her thousand taels to play cards, let her keep it and buy more supplements to make up for her brain and heart." ”

Mama Song smiled and should be.

When these words reached Jiang's ears, Jiang's face turned green, and he ran to An Wenqi to complain crying.

After a few years of marriage, although An Wenqi was romantic and had a lot of concubines, he had always loved Jiang, which made Jiang sure that An Wenqi would be on her side, so he dared to go to him to complain.

However, after she finished talking about it, An Wenqi slapped her directly in the face and scolded: "You can get a thousand taels of silver, and you can go to the gold and silver building to buy jewelry discounts every month more than this amount!" You're embarrassed to say that Lan'er moved her mother's money! Get back to your mother's house, and let me hear you orchestrate my grandmother and sisters, and you'll never have to come back!" ”

After scolding, regardless of Jiang's crying and noisy, An Wenqi directly asked his subordinates to pack Jiang's luggage and send him back to his parents' house.

The second young lady was sent back to her parents' house, the movement was not small, and the others naturally knew about it quickly, and the good things done by the Jiang family also spread quickly, at first the second lady thought that An Wenqi had a big temper and wanted to take the Jiang family back, but when she heard this, she directly sneered and ignored it.

Besides, when Jiang returned to her parents' house, she was full of grievances at first, and she didn't listen to Mrs. Jiang's persuasion at all, thinking that An Wenqi would not come to pick her up in person, so she wouldn't go back, and after a few days, seeing that no one had come to pick up the Hou Mansion, she was panicked first.

Mrs. Jiang naturally felt sorry for her daughter, but she didn't want to see her daughter become a laughing stock, and persuaded again: "What Wen Qi said is not wrong, you go to the gold and silver building every month to buy so many jewelry, if it weren't for your sixth aunt, you would have to spend a lot of silver, not to mention some new styles, without your sixth aunt, you wouldn't be able to get it at all." Your sixth aunt is the county lord, her husband's family is rich, and she has a rich father-in-law, not to mention a million taels, even ten million taels, she doesn't look at it. You didn't do this right, remember to accompany Mrs. An when you go back, and ask for forgiveness. ”

Jiang also figured it out, but he still refused to soften, and muttered: "Her father-in-law doesn't know if it's a true father-in-law or a fake father." ”

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she quickly covered her mouth and said sharply: "If you don't say a word, you won't die!" ”

The Jiang clan boss nodded reluctantly.

In the end, Jiang Shi pulled down, and no one took her back to the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, although the old lady forgave her, but she could feel that the attitude of the whole house towards her was not as good as before. She realized that she had offended the most undeserved person. (To be continued......)
