Pan'er pressed her beating heart, exhaled, and reached out to pick out a silver-inlaid pearl hairpin for Rou'er, and a pair of pearl earrings, which were also pearl chains.

The shopkeeper Jin smiled: "Miss is really a good eye, this is the best selling this year." ”

Pan'er picked out another set of silver jewelry for herself, and she only got three, not much, adding up to less than five taels of silver.

Bai Zhi frowned slightly, "Let's pick a few more?" ”

Pan'er lowered her head and said, "Sister female officer, there are already a lot." ”

Bai Zhi was in a complicated mood, and she didn't know whether to feel sorry for the sisters who had lost their mothers, or to praise them for their decency. Although the price of these pieces of jewelry is not high, the style is also special, neither particularly outstanding, nor particularly vulgar, it is a medium and superior style.

Mama Qing said: "Look at your sisters, come, Mama will pick for you." The county lord has prepared fifty taels of silver for you, so just pick some more! "Don't say much, pick and choose with Bai Zhi, bracelets, step shakes, earrings, and silver bells hanging on your waist...... Anyone who looks good-looking is picked aside by them.

Pan'er hurriedly said: "Sister Female Officer, Grandma, it's enough, it's really enough." ”

Bai Zhi smiled, "If it's not in the way, pick more, you will have to wear it in the future, and you must always be able to wear it." Come on, try this. She took a gold-inlaid jade earring and tried it on Pan'er's ear, "This is good." "Set it aside.

Soon, more than twenty kinds were selected.

The shopkeeper is happy in his heart, such a big business is not common, especially when King Jing was convicted and the Zeng family was implicated, and he didn't encounter a big business for several days.

Pan'er was uneasy, how could there be such a purchase, she picked out the expensive jewelry and put it in the box of the gold shopkeeper, Bai Zhi took it out again, and she put it back.

Bai Zhi was picking, and Pan'er secretly put the jewelry back into the jewelry plate of the gold shopkeeper. Bai Zhi couldn't help but be angry, "Miss Pan, what are you doing?" ”

"Sister Female Officer. Really enough, don't buy any more. Rou'er and I can each have five things. ”

"Alright. You listen to me. Bai Zhi put the hairpin aside, "The county lord has spoken, let me and Mama Qing dress up your sisters, Ming'er, you still have to accompany the county lord to go out to visit Jinyang City, but don't let others see the jokes, you have to dress up decently." ”

Bai Zhi likes the sisters, although they also grew up in the countryside. But there is a sense of arrogance, which is not exuded from the body, but from the bones, and it knows how to advance and retreat. Be sensible. The ladies of the Jiang family couldn't get a few more things, the more expensive the better, but they only chose cheap and affordable ones.

Seeing that the clothes of the three men over there had been measured, Mama Qing brought the tailor to measure the young ladies and said, "You have to get out of a set tonight." It's big business, and it's got to be done. ”

The tailor replied again and again, "Mama don't worry, let the embroidery girls rush to make it overnight tonight." ”

Pan'er looked ashamed, "Mama." If you don't give me the rest of the fabric, we can sew it ourselves, so that we can save some silver. ”

Bai Zhi said with relief: "It doesn't matter, just let the people in the embroidery building do it." Your sisters have to go to the old lady in their new clothes, and now the old lady is so sad that she cries several times when she hears about the family, and if she sees your sisters dressed like this, she may cry again. ”

Yu thought that his family had lived a life of fine clothes and food for more than 20 years, and his brothers and nephews had lived so poor and hard, and he felt guilty in his heart, and he couldn't stop crying when he thought of it. Mama Tian and Su Yan both persuaded her twice, and the more she persuaded her, the more she cried, and she didn't dare to persuade again, so she only said the happy events next to her to distract Yu's attention.

Rou'er said: "Sister, my aunt and grandmother treat us so well, we can't make her old man uncomfortable, so we will listen to the female official's sister." ”

Mama Qing praised: "Miss Rou is right when she says so. The old lady lives a long life, which is not only the blessing of the Jiang family, but also the blessing of your Yu family, so she is not allowed to feel uncomfortable. ”

Rouer replied sweetly with a "yes".

In the hall of Xiangrui Courtyard, Yu and Yu Jianshu asked about the situation over the years, and when they heard the sadness, they couldn't help but cry again.

Yu wiped his tears, "You two families are having a hard time, why don't you write to tell me." If you hadn't come back this time, I wouldn't have known that you were bullied like this by those concubines. ”

Yu Jianshu hung his head, "In the early years, I also wanted to go over to find my aunt, but my father was on his deathbed, and we were not allowed to disturb my aunt and uncle." Soon after the separation, my father learned that the Yu family's compound was taken to a pawnshop by the eldest aunt, and if she wanted to redeem it, she would get 25,000 taels of silver, and the eldest aunt's mortgage in the past was only worth 6,000 taels of silver. handed the paper to the Jinyang official office, but I didn't think that the second uncle and the third uncle had a relationship early, and the Jinyang Ling at that time convicted his father of framing a good person. After detaining his father in prison for nearly half a year, his mother begged the two uncles of the Kong family to talk about the matter, and then released him, but his father fell ill in prison......

Yu Jianshu, Yu Jianbai and other brothers and sisters were all in Yu Maode's prison before Yu Jianshu, Yu Jianshu was a few years older than Jiang Shuhong, and Yu Jianbai was the same age as Jiang Shukun. Yu Maode seems to have changed as a person since he was imprisoned, his health has been bad, he has been sick for three days, and he has fallen ill with rheumatism, cough and asthma.

The former family of the family actually fell to this step of the field, the Yu family felt uncomfortable, tears were full of tears, and wiped the unshed tears with a handkerchief, "The eldest brother must still be angry with me, and I was also angry back then." In the past few decades, the two of you have relied on those thin fields, but how did you get here? ”

Yu Maode's second son, Yu Jianbai, hung his head with tears, only listening to Yu Jianshu and the cold noise of the Yu family.

The children of the orthodox generation stood behind their parents, but did not speak, some were sad, some were sad.

After listening to it for more than half an hour, the Yu family also figured out the situation of Yu Jianshu and Yu Jianbai.

Yu Jianshu has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son was born to the original Lu family, Lu died in childbirth, and later remarried Lu's sister as his wife, and gave birth to a pair of children.

Yu Jianbai married his wife Peng and had two sons, Peng is the daughter of a talented man in the countryside, and there is no dowry, and a family of four lives on 20 acres of land.

Yu Jianshu said: "Although the Yu family only has twenty acres of thin land, my son's dowry is not bad, and it is enough for the family to eat." He only picked up comforting words, and did not want to mention half of his worries, which also added to the guilt in Yu's heart.

Thinking that Yu Maocai had forced his eldest daughter-in-law Ruan to death, Yu's heart was more painful than a while. Looking at the two nephews of her eldest brother's family, when she left, the eldest Yu Jianshu was already engaged, and she sent someone a gift of twenty taels of silver and left. In the blink of an eye, even Yu Jianshu's son was older than him.

The Yu family only felt that it was really like a dream, what a family the Yu family was thirty years ago, but now it is such a field, and the days are hard, just like ordinary rural people, farming crops and struggling to survive. Q: "How are the children of the two families studying?" ”

Yu Jianshu said with a smile, "Back to my aunt's words, the eldest of my family passed the children's examination and passed the Xiucai, and he failed to pass the township examination for three consecutive years, so he gave up." Now he is a private school teacher in the village, and his life is passable, and he has married a wife and has an eldest grandson. The second child has been studying for a few years, but he has never even won the show, and he is not a person who can read, and he is also enthusiastic about doing business, and he is learning to do business with his uncle. ”

Yu Shi laughed, "Speaking of doing business, the second son of my family Shukun is also a business-loving person, and he opened an auction house, and he has a monthly income of several thousand taels of silver. ”

Yu Jianshu's second son's eyes lit up, "What is an auction house?" ”

Mama Tian said carefully.

Yu Jianshu's second son exclaimed: "There are still people who do this kind of business? ”

Mama Tian said: "No, this is a good business, even the sixth princess has joined the money." ”

That's the biggest backer, and the sixth princess is a powerful person.

Yu Jianshu's second son clasped his fists and saluted: "Aunt, grandmother, nephew and grandson have a reluctant request. ”

Yu said: "Good boy, you can tell me and listen." ”

"Auntie, grandmother, nephew and grandchild want to learn business with cousin."

Yu laughed.

Yu Jianshu shouted: "No big or small, the elders speak, how can you intervene at will." ”

Yu said: "I look at it as a promising one." My old grandfather often said that if the writing is not successful, this martial arts will be successful, and if the martial arts are not successful, they will always have the same ability to make a living. This business is not stealing, it is not robbing, it is also a good thing. ”

Since ancient times, merchants have been lowly, and entering a business is equivalent to entering a lowly business. But Jiang Shuncheng never despised businessmen, because the ancestor of the Jiang family started in business.

Yu Jianshu didn't agree with the second son to learn often at first, but he couldn't grind it, so he had to agree.

Yu asked Yu Jianbai, "How are your two children?" ”

Yu Jianbai replied: "It's not bad. ”

Yu Jianshu said: "The second brother also passed the township examination in his early years and won the examination, but the second uncle and the fourth uncle seemed to fight with us, and used the method to slander the second brother for cheating in the examination room, and he actually took away his fame in the examination room, and he was not allowed to enter the examination again, and even his two sons were not allowed to take the examination to gain fame......"

Yu's fists were clenched, he didn't expect that the descendants of his eldest brother would be bullied like this.

They won't look for her for anything, but if they do, her aunt won't care.

I was sad in my heart, "Jianbai, you wrote a sealed paper, suing the eldest aunt, Yu Maoxue, and Yu Maosheng's mother and son for plundering the family business and framing the son-in-law. You have been a master of the people, think about it carefully, list a few more crimes, and I will send the old servants of the Houfu to the yamen in Jinyang and Anyi. ”

Yu Jianshu's second son said: "Not only that, in order to raise their value, they actually gave silver to the Yu clan, and also made the eldest aunt the equal wife of the great-grandfather......"

Isn't it just a girl, but she is also worthy of being a flat wife, and she was made by them. Yu's pink cheeks were full of anger, as if he was about to attack at any time, and he seemed to kill Yu Maoxue and Yu Maosheng's brothers.
