The morning sun shines on the quiet courtyard, and the air is still fresh enough to be unique to autumn mornings.

Mrs. Guo wore a yellow rattan bottom woven with water ripples, and wore a hairpin with laurel branches, perhaps for the occasion, and was being served by a few pearls in a pot of human-high green trees in the middle of the yard.

It can be seen that the division of the sect or something did not affect Mrs. Guo's mood at all.

Yuan muttered in his heart, and respectfully stepped forward to salute his mother-in-law.

Mrs. Guo nodded at her, until she finished pruning the last branch and leaf, looked at it carefully, and was satisfied, then handed the scissors in her hand to the pearl beside her, took the handkerchief that Zi purlin had already prepared and wiped her hands, and then asked her, "Come here?" Have you had breakfast? ”

Yuan Shi hurriedly stepped forward to support Old Man Guo's arm, and said respectfully: "I only arrived last night, excellent-excellent-small-say-more-new-most-fastest-WWW.UUXS.CC last night. It's too late, I'm afraid I'm arguing with you, my lord, let me come back early this morning. Haven't had breakfast yet! ”

Mrs. Guo said noncommittally "um", and said lightly: "Then accompany me for breakfast." ”

Yuan lowered his eyebrows and responded "yes" obediently, and the two entered the upper room.

The black lacquered household goods, the twelve vertical screens inlaid with ivory, the mist-like yellow silk yarn curtains, and the sweet white porcelain flowers next to the window lattices inlaid with colored glaze are inserted with three or two osmanthus flowers that have just been folded off, and the house is full of the fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

It's not inferior to the house in Jiuru Lane.

Yuan couldn't help but be jealous and envious.

The old lady is really blessed, the three sons are fighting for each other, and the family is in great trouble, she is still full of gold and jade, and she should have the same.

It would be nice if she had such a life as an old lady in her old age.

Mrs. Wei Er instructed the little maid to set the table, and the three of them silently had breakfast on the big kang near the window of the banquet room.

When the meal was finished, the little maid scattered the table, served the refreshments, and Mrs. Wei Er withdrew.

Only then did Yuan talk about the matter in Jinling: "...... On the side of the sacrificial field, a five-wide house was rebuilt, an auspicious day was chosen, and the tablets of the ancestors were moved. and pointed to the faithful servants of the world who were there to take care of them. The things that could be taken away from the family were all transported, and if they couldn't bring them, they bought a small house of three or four acres on the side of Stone Lane, put all the things over there temporarily, and pointed out the loyal servants, who were temporarily guarded by the uncles and young masters. When I finish Jiashan's marriage, I will go back again and reorganize the things in the house. ”

There is also a batch of large pieces of furniture moved over from Jinling, and Cheng Xu is in charge of escorting the ship, and it will take a few days to get around.

Old Madam Guo nodded slightly and said, "You have worked hard." ”

Yuan Shi hurriedly stood up and said, "This is what a daughter-in-law should do." ”

Mrs. Guo raised her hand, motioned to sit down and speak, and said, "Have all the flowers and trees in the greenhouse been removed?" ”

Yuan smiled: "Moved out." Will go to the capital with Jiashan's ship! ”

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she twisted the rosary in her hand and said, "The tree is dead, and the person is alive." The old mansion that has lived for more than 100 years is now about to be let out, and I don't know if you will be able to gain a foothold in the capital in the future. ”

Yuan smiled diligently: "The three masters are all filial piety people, working together, how can there be a hurdle that cannot be passed?" Your old man can rest assured, take good care of your body, and enjoy it in the future! ”

Mrs. Guo smiled: "Are you still preparing me to live as a spirit?" ”

Yuan Shi hurriedly smiled: "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure." With such a big family, without your old man sitting in the array, we are all very panicked. You can't say such discouragement, we are still looking forward to giving you your 80th birthday! ”

Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the second room, celebrated his 80th birthday two years ago.

In the past, because of his pressure, the younger generations could not do longevity, but now that the sect is divided, Mrs. Guo's birthday can be lively.

Because of these words, the atmosphere between the two was finally warmer.

Mrs. Guo said, "What are your plans for Jiashan's wedding?" ”

Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, knowing that her husband had already relayed his meaning to her mother-in-law.

"The eldest lord has become a cabinet assistant minister, and he has left his name in history. Originally, this was a great joy," she said slowly, "but if you want to make a lot of fun about it, it will inevitably make those officials grab the handle of the big lord and say that the big man loves vanity, frivolity and arrogance, but it is not easy to make a noise." Coincidentally, Jiashan is going to get married, so I thought, it's better to take the opportunity of Jiashan to get married to feast relatives and friends, and take the opportunity to celebrate the eldest lord......"

"Just tell me how much money you're going to spend?" Old Madam Guo suddenly interrupted her words, and the little atmosphere that had just warmed up suddenly disappeared.

Yuan's face changed slightly.

Who's grandmother was not elated when she heard that her grandson was going to get married, only the old lady of their family didn't know when she would be happy, and she didn't know when she would have a cold face.

She said, "I haven't calculated it yet. However, I think the Min family's dowry will have to be at least thirty-six lifts, and at least three thousand taels of silver; There are also tea wine, wedding tents, drums, ......"

Old Madam Guo interrupted her again and said, "Is 20,000 taels of silver enough?" ”

"Huh?!" Yuan was stunned.

Usually when people get married, 5,000 taels of silver is already very decent, and 20,000 taels of silver...... Not only can the wedding be done very well, but even the cost of repairing the house before has also returned.

Mrs. Guo simply said: "You also know what the family looks like now." According to my meaning, Jiashan's marriage is best simple. But you also said that Jiashan's marriage is not only a marriage with the Min family, but also a celebration for Dalang, he is the eldest grandson of our long house, and it will be possible to spend a little more silver! I'll pay for his wedding! After speaking, she shouted to Mama Shi, "You go and get 20,000 taels of silver tickets and come over to Madame!" ”

Mama Shi smiled and left, but Yuan had not come back to his senses.

Twenty thousand taels of silver tickets!

Not two thousand taels, two hundred taels, but twenty thousand taels!

The old lady said to give it!

It was as if it wasn't 20,000 taels of silver but a handful of candy and a few pieces of snacks.

Yuan couldn't help but gasp.

She had long felt that Mrs. Guo was rich, but she didn't expect to be so rich.

Old lady ...... It's a blessing.

Yuan's heart seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't tell what it felt, until Mama Shi got the silver ticket to her, she came back to her senses, stood up a little nervously, and said, "Mother, this, this ......"

"How can you use your dowry?" Mrs. Guo took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Jiashan is my eldest grandson, he is married, I, as a grandmother, will not wronged him no matter what, you can rest assured." Then he brought the tea and said, "You just returned to the capital, and there must be a lot of things to do." I have Erlang's daughter-in-law with me here. You're going to get busy! ”

Yuan actually had a lot to say to Mrs. Guo, but Mrs. Guo smashed it down for 20,000 taels of silver, and she was still in shock, so she had no intention of talking to Mrs. Guo, and after thanking her, Mrs. Wei sent her out.

She looked at Mrs. Wei's familiar appearance, and she couldn't help but feel a move in her heart.

Jiashan got married, the old lady took 20,000 taels of silver out for the sake of his eldest son and grandson, Mrs. Wei Er dangled in front of the old lady every day, for a long time, this person's heart is flesh and blood, if the old lady is worried about her good, when the time comes, will the old lady have something else to give her brother in private!

Yuan's mood became a little subtle.

After returning to Xinglin Hutong and seeing Cheng Jing, she discussed with Cheng Jing: "You are the eldest son, how can you live with the fourth uncle?" And the second brother and sister's body is not good, and it is really hard to serve the old lady running around like this every day, so I still take my mother back to live, right? ”

Cheng Jing smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know." But my mother said that this side was too narrow, and she was not used to living in the old man's house. I also asked if there were any houses sold in the neighborhood around the gate, but there was none, even if I wanted to expand the house, there was no way! I think it's up to my mother. I've also been to see it over there, it's much more spacious than here, and my mother lives at ease, and I have a relative and friend visiting the door, singing a play, and visiting a garden and the like There is also a place to pass the time. ”

Grandma loves her children. This is especially evident in the old lady.

In the future, the old lady is afraid that there will only be a fourth uncle in her eyes!

Yuan's heart moved, and said, "Why don't we move to the house in Chaoyangmen too?" You see that the Gu family in Zhenjiang and the Li family in Lujiang all live there. Now we have separated from Jiuru Lane, just in time to take advantage of Jiashan to get married for our house to correct the name, in the future, Jiuru Lane Cheng's family is Jiuru Lane Cheng's family, and Chaoyangmen's Cheng's family is Chaoyangmen's Cheng's family......"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cheng Jing interrupted Yuan's words with a smile and said, "The house over there in Chaoyangmen was bought by my mother for Shiro with her own silver, what do we have to do?" I can't say that again. Now that we have separated from Jiuru Lane, we are already a little weak, if the brothers are still hurt because of these blockages, then our long house will be finished. What's more, Xinglin Hutong is the old residence of our Cheng family, and it is the residence of the prince in Beijing, surrounded by some scholars, how can you say that you can move it? Even if my mother agrees, I can't bear it! ”

Cheng Jing knows about the Seven Star Hall.

How could my mother have so much private money to buy a house for the fourth brother, but the fourth hand has sacrificed a lot for the Cheng family and the long house, not to mention that he wants to buy a house for himself, he just wants to spend all day drinking and making a ridiculous scene, and he, the elder brother, can only find a way to clean up the mess for him!

Yuan had no choice but to stop this topic for the time being, and told Cheng Jing that Mrs. Guo had given her 20,000 taels of silver tickets.

Cheng Jing guessed that this silver might have been transferred by Cheng Chi from the Seven Star Hall.

Now there is no silver left in the public school.

Twenty thousand taels is not a small amount!

He feigned surprise and said, "Really? ”

Yuan showed him the silver ticket.

Cheng Jing said in front of his wife how good his mother is and how she cares for her children.

Although Yuan was not happy in his heart, he had to echo it.

Cheng Chi discussed with her that tomorrow Mu Xiu and the two of them would go to Chaoyangmen to visit Mrs. Guo.

As long as Yuan Shi thought of the look on his face when Mrs. Guo took out these 20,000 taels of silver, his heart was hot and he was busy answering.
