822 Dowry
Ling Wei finally couldn't help laughing, "How many years have it been, brother, don't talk about it, now I add makeup, and I'm not afraid of people's jokes." ”
At that time, the Ling family lived a frugal life, just a small family.
In the past 20 years, Master Ling has worked diligently to run his family and take care of his business, and his life has been better. The eldest son, Xiuxian, has been learning to do business with Master Ling, and the second son and youngest son have studied hard, wanting to glorify their ancestors like their ancestors and earn glory.
Master Ling's face was solemn, "Which family doesn't give a dowry to a sister or daughter, this should be given." ”
Their father and son also said this a long time ago, and they also said earlier that they wanted to add makeup, but Ling Wei had no name at the time, and now that she has a name, she should add makeup.
The old prince of the palace on the left shoulder has so many concubines, if he doesn't add them, even though Ling Wei lives with his son and daughter-in-law, outsiders will talk about it, and the Ling family's face will be disgraceful.
Master Ling thought about being ashamed of Ling Wei for more than 20 years, and discussed with his eldest son, and decided to add half of the family wealth to Ling Wei, so that she could live a better life in the palace.
Ling Wei said: "My brother still has three sons, only Xiuxian has become a family, and Xiuqi and Xiuwen also have to discuss relatives." Xiujie and Xiuwan are also older, Xiujie is engaged, and he has to get married, so he has to prepare for marriage? ”
Uncle Ling thought about it, and suddenly an aunt who was a side concubine of the palace on the left shoulder, and a cousin who attacked the prince, this is not a great thing, the Ling family depends on them, and they can live a good life in the future. This relationship alone, when the younger brothers and sisters are discussing relatives. You can pick and choose, too.
Besides, Ling Wei only had one brother, Master Ling. The brother and sister have depended on each other since childhood, and they will not lose the Ling family.
Several children of the Ling family. is quite sensible and attentive, although it is not a pillar of creation, it can be regarded as a person.
Master Ling said with a smile: "Xiu Qi has just become the magistrate, he is not in a hurry, and your sister-in-law and I are not in a hurry." Xiuxian became a relative at the age of seventeen, and now his eldest daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter have been born, and there are two grandchildren. Xiu Qi is here to slowly pick a good one for him. ”
Ling Xiuqi has an outstandingly appearance, and he is most similar to Yu Wenyan, with the same tall and upright posture. Similar facial features, eyebrows and eyes. is that look, which can charm many women in the boudoir.
Ling Wei said with a smile: "Tell Xiu Qi that Jizhou is not far from here, if he is free, come and see me." I remember when I left my hometown in Texas, Xiu Qi had just learned to walk, and he could only call his father and mother, and when he called his father, he would become 'Ding Ding'......"
Thinking of the past, she felt like a dream.
"Xiujie is also going to leave the cabinet. I was about to send a guard and a mother-in-law to bring their sisters to the Imperial City to play for a while. I haven't seen them yet. ”
Uncle Ling lowered his head and thought, "Xiujie is more like a mother." is Xiu Wan, who looks the most similar to her aunt when she was a child, and is also the most liked by her father. The temperament is more jumpy, and the most lively. ”
Old Master Ling thought of his young son Xiuwen, who was studying in the Imperial City Academy, and said, "I'm on the street today." Listening to the discussion of the people, the emperor issued an imperial order. From March onwards, every day is a day off. Changed to a seven-day bath day. The academy also wants to rest, and when the time comes, let Xiuwen come over and greet you. ”
Ling Wei laughed.
It was a rare smile for her.
"When my brother came to the imperial city, he came to live in the mansion, and you have also seen that there are many courtyards in this mansion." Ling Wei thought about the Xiu Jie and Xiu Wan sisters who had never met, raised her voice, and shouted outside: "Someone, call the second housekeeper." ”
She said in a hurry, "I have to bring the Xiujie sisters from Texas and let them talk to me." I blame her, Xiujie is out of the pavilion, it is someone else's family, it is not easy to go out again, let her come to the imperial city to live for half a year, this wedding date is not set in August, then let her go back. ”
Old Man Ling smiled and found his own sister, and now he has more relatives, so he can often come to the imperial city to walk around. Mrs. Ling couldn't laugh at him anymore, she didn't even have any close relatives.
Wen Xin and Wen Ya sisters chased and ran in front of the courtyard gate, and after running, Wen Xin fell back again, standing in front of the courtyard gate and tilting her head to look at the people in the flower hall.
Ling Wei heard that there were two county lords of the Zhenguo Mansion in the mansion, so she smiled and beckoned, "It's Wen Xin, right?" ”
Wen Xin was carrying her skirt, and when Wen Ya saw that she was not leaving, she also followed, looking at the people inside timidly.
Wen Xin hesitated for a moment, took her sister's hand and entered the flower hall, and bowed in style, "Wen Xin has seen the old concubine!" ”
Wen Ya raised her head and looked at Ling Wei with a curious expression, "I heard that you are my father-in-law's mother-in-law?" ”
Ling Wei smiled.
Wen Ya turned her head and saw Uncle Ling, "Ahhh Sister, look at him, he looks a little like his father-in-law. ”
"They are cousins, and they are similar. Don't some people say that I look like my aunt? Wen Xin was not curious on her lips, but she was more curious than Wen Ya in her eyes.
Ling Wei beckoned her sister to come closer, "What are you doing with such a happy run?" ”
Wen Ya said: "Xinmeng Xiaozhu has a little brother who is called bitter, it's very interesting, and we also play with him." But now I forgot the homework assigned by my stepmother, and I just practiced big characters for my stepmother to check. ”
Ling Wei smiled: "Can you see Yaodong?" ”
Wen Xin said: "We were asleep when we passed, he slept at this time of the day, and he didn't wake up until five o'clock in the morning." As soon as I woke up, I let my stepmother hug me, and no one could hold it. ”
Wen Ya said: "When he fell asleep, his stepmother gave him medicine, and I heard that he was pricked by Ye with a needle?" ”
Wen Xin pouted, "The Ye family is as bad as her daughter, and her daughter still stabs the villain to harm Wen Ya." ”
Ling Wei felt that children were very interesting, maybe because she couldn't take Dayu Wenyan in person, she liked it when she looked at children, sisters, you say a word, I say a word. "You don't like Zixia and Qingxia?"
Wen Ya shook her head quickly, "The county lord of Zixia wants to harm me, and I won't play with her children anymore." ”
Wen Xin said: "My stepmother said that Wen Ya and I would accompany her for dinner, and we would go out to pick the most beautiful flowers." ”
The two sisters held hands and saluted, "Old Concubine Jing, let's go!" "Flying away.
Ling Wei looked up at the Yang family sisters who were gone.
Uncle Ling said: "Xiu Jie and Xiu Wan were also good like this when they were young, but now that they are older, they will talk about it when they stay in one place." ”
Ling Wei smiled: "It's good to be noisy, this quarrel, the relationship between sisters will be better." ”
The Ling family and his son accompanied Ling Wei to have dinner in the Jingtang before returning to the courtyard where they lived.
The two sisters of the Yang family talked to Su Yan for a while, and Su Yan and their nurse served the two sisters to take a bath, and Wen Ya shouted while washing: "Mother-in-law, I want that fragrant snow cream, apply more ...... to me"
Wen Xin in the bathtub on the other side scolded "stinky beauty".
Wen Ya took over, "If you don't stink, don't use it, let your share be smeared on by my stepmother." ”
Wen Xin replied, "Think beautifully."
After taking a bath, the nurse dressed them, and sent the girl who served with her to wash them and dry them in Sanssouci Pavilion.
The two sisters played for a while, and they were a little tired, so they followed the nurse back to Sanssouci Pavilion to sleep.
Bai Yan asked puzzledly, "Why does the princess have to bathe them in person every three days?" ”
Bai Zhiwan smiled, "The princess was afraid that they would get sick, so she added potion to the bath soup." ”
Only then did Bai Yan realize the taste.
Su Yan glanced at the couch in the inner room, and the milk lady was already asleep holding Yaodong.
She walked through the inner room and continued to practice her words in the small study.
Mama Qing and Bai Zhi, Bai Yan, Bai Zhu, Zi Que and other four girls, each picked a shop to take care of, Qing Mama picked three, Bai Zhi, Bai Yan, Zi Que each two, Bai Zhu was the youngest and picked one, Su Yan asked Tian He and Bai Ying to pick one each.
Tell them sharply: "This year's income should be compared with next year's, if you make more money, the extra part of the income will be given to you as a bonus." If you make less money, you will be considered to have worked in vain this year, and if you don't have a reward, you will take your monthly silver.
A few of you have discussed it separately, stay on duty, stay in the Qin Se Hall to serve, and if you are not on duty, you can go to the shop you take care of, take a look, and help come up with some ideas. Always remember your duty, and if you can't do your job well, you will take back your authority to take care of the shop. ”
Several people went up to the young grandmother and down to the second-class girl, all of them responded.
Mama Qing was a little impatient today, and after dinner, she went to the three shops she helped take care of.
The same is true of the other girls who are not worthy of their duties, and they walk past without a carriage.
Especially Tian He, who is small and has a sweet mouth, pointed fingers at the tofu shop, the shopkeeper of the tofu shop was older than her, and he had to respect her as a manager.
As soon as Mama Qing came back, she went to Su Yan's small study.
"Princess, I heard something outside today, on the fifth day of the third month, the grange and shop under the Cui family's name will be auctioned. I'm afraid that there are a lot of good properties, and you can buy some of them. ”
The entire Imperial City, such a big business, can only be handed over to the Nine Horses.
Although Yu Jianzhang also opened an auction house near Tianjie in Xishi, he only accepted some business that was only three hundred taels of silver. That also made the nine horses into the money, and the Jiang family was also prosperous.
Su Yan thoughtfully, "I want to buy it, and Mama also knows that in the past, I took over the family business from the Ye family, with a total of 3.8 million taels of silver tickets." For more than a year, Weizhou repaired the canal, and I took 5.5 million taels of silver tickets, and I made up for the most. Now he still has 200,000 taels of silver tickets left in hand, and he can only take out 180,000 taels of silver at most. ”
Whoever buys has to pick a good one.
But there wasn't much silver left in the house, so I had to have some leftover.
Su Yan invited Jiang to come over the next day, and handed over 180,000 taels of silver tickets to Jiang Chuan, asking him to watch and pick some good ones to buy.
The Cui family, the family has a big business, this is probably another collapsed mountain since the Wen family, and this time it is richer than the Wen family, and everyone in the imperial city who has some family background is staring at these industries of the Cui family, thinking of picking a good one to buy.
In the afternoon of the next day, Yu Wenyan came back from the palace and was just in time for lunch at home, and the husband and wife accompanied Ling Wei to dine with the Ling family's father and son.
After rinsing his mouth, Master Ling asked Yu Wenyan: "Does the prince think that the Cui family's grange and shop can be bought?" (To be continued......)
