Chapter 212: Gambling (Second Shift)
As soon as Xia Linang entered the door, he scolded and scolded: "Fucking loser, three thousand taels of silver to show off!" "Three thousand taels, three thousand taels, not thirty taels! How nice it is to give it to him! What kind of broken ancestral hall is built, the living are almost unable to take care of it, and they still take care of the dead? Besides, the ancestral hall just leaked a little rain, and it didn't collapse, what to repair?
And running a clan school is even more boring, do other people's children have books to read them, what's the matter? I don't want to be filial to his own uncle, what are you doing with so much leisure?
Listening to Xia Linang talk about what happened in the patriarch's house, Mrs. Xia was also angry, in her opinion, Shujie was so "in the limelight" just to come back and slap her in the face and slap Xia Fu's face. used the scenery of Xia Linxuan's room to set off the incompetence of her son and grandson.
Mrs. Xia gritted her teeth, not strangling Xia Linxuan when she was born was the most regrettable thing in Mrs. Xia's life, and there were a few concubines who died openly and secretly in the Hou Mansion back then.
She has two sons in law, how can she tolerate the existence of a concubine? The concubine is different from the concubine, and the concubine can also be used for marriage to play a role.
Xia Linxuan was born in the same year and month as Xia Linang, only a few days apart, when she invited a master to analyze Xia Linang's personality and name him. Unexpectedly, the subordinate took the wrong eight characters, and the master pointed to Xia Linxuan's eight characters and said: Although the life is not long, the Wang family is beneficial to the brothers and nephews. Her mother persuaded her to let the child go, but she was just a concubine, and she was short-lived, and she happened to keep her two sisters-in-law.
When the title is taken away and the Xia family is defeated, she naturally no longer believes what the master said, the Wang family? The loser and the Ke family are almost the same!
Who knows the way, to this day. Let's analyze it again. Xia Linxuan was indeed short-lived. If you don't share the expenses, you will indeed benefit your brothers now, but now...... but his own children.
After listening to Mrs. Xia's words, Xia Linyu, who had just walked in, complained: "I said how did I run to that room with good luck?" Mother, you know that the second brother of the Dao family, the Yi brothers and nephews, should not have let him divide the Lu back then, and now all the benefits are ours. Ah Xue will not bother to end up where she is now. ”
Xia Linang also said: "That's it, mother." If you don't know the way, forget it, if you know the way, you still ...... Alas! ”
Mrs. Xia regretted it, but how could she admit it? Angry: "Phew! Why is a concubine 'prosperous' my son-in-law, and why is my son-in-law and grandson not as good as a lowly concubine? ”
Xia Ruoxue was speechless, what is the basis for this? It's obviously "too inferior", and only this mother hasn't recognized the facts yet! No, maybe it's not that you can't see clearly, but you just don't want to accept it, right? Xia Ruoxue sighed, and she also regretted it. I regret that I read the three brothers and sisters too little and was too anxious.
Xia Shuqing, who had been sitting quietly on the side for a long time, also secretly despised Mrs. Xia's self-deception, clinging to the former Mrs. Hou's shelf and the only identity of the main room and concubine. but he does not raise his children and grandchildren well. The grandson is not as good as the grandson, isn't it her mother's failure?
Shuqing felt that she was really sad, she had everything in her previous life, but she lacked the identity of a descendant, but in this life, she has nothing but the identity of a descendant.
Three days ago, Xia Linang and Yu had just set a family affair for Xia Shuwan, and they would get married at the end of the year. The groom is a fifteen-year-old cloth merchant in the Daimyo Mansion City, and he still does the chord. After exchanging Geng posts and tokens, the prospective son-in-law sent a dowry gift: 1,000 taels of silver and 40% of the cloth merchant's shop in Yulin Town.
According to the agreement, a month before the marriage, the groom's family will also send a "dowry" worth 2,000 taels of silver prepared for Shuwan.
This cloth merchant originally came to find Xia Linang to help him cooperate with Sima Yunting, the second master of the Anguo Mansion, but he accidentally saw Xia Shuwan who came back with Yu's incense, and felt that her face resembled his beloved wife who had been deceased for many years, and he intended to ask for marriage, and gave Xia Linang very tempting conditions.
Originally, Xia Linang and the Yu family were unwilling, and they also expected Xia Ruoxue to introduce Shuwan to an official family in the capital, so that she could help Xia Shuwei in the future. However, because Xia Ruoxue had no news back at that time, Xia Linang had no bottom in his heart, and he did not refuse, but only said that he should consider it.
They are indeed very short of money, and forty percent of the store's share plus one thousand taels of silver can almost guarantee the basic life of their house, as well as Xia Shuwei's study expenses.
Xia Ruoxue came back, the only foreign aid in Xia Mansion failed, Xia Linang hurried to find the cloth merchant and responded to this family business.
Xia Shuwan is unwilling and helpless, her son is always more important than her daughter, isn't it? Xia Shuwei is the hope of their three rooms. Moreover, although it is a continuation of the marriage, although the merchant is older, he is rich.
Food and clothing are not worried, and there are groups of slaves and maids, it is better than the current Xia Mansion to tighten expenses and shrink their hands and feet, if it weren't for the old lady from time to time to take out some self-support, I don't know how to survive the days of these two rooms.
Now there are five servants and maids in the entire third room, one follows Yu's mother, one serves Shuwan, one waits for Shuwei, and two mothers-in-law who cook and do rough work. There are no servants or maids for aunts and concubines, so the aunts themselves serve their children.
The second room is almost the same, a few days ago Xia Shuyi also went to teach in a private school, Xia Shuyao has no money to play but is a little more honest, and spends more energy on reading, which can be regarded as a good phenomenon brought about by "poverty".
Shu Wan set up a marriage, the third room of Xia Mansion got the silver and the shopkeepers, Xia Linyu and his wife were envious, looking at Shuqing's eyes were shining, and his bones were spinning.
Shuqing sighed secretly, she could already anticipate her prospects. In the past few days, she has been thinking about how to maintain the current family affair with Guo Jinnan? Can Guo Jinnan go to high school in three years? Will it disappoint her? She took such a risk, will she regret it?
She doesn't want to marry a merchant, and with the current situation of their family, they can't marry into a really rich and wealthy businessman, even if they are a medium-sized merchant like Shuwan's fiancé, they can only do the continuation. Shuqing thought that Shuwan's fiancé, Da Shuwan, was fifteen years old, and he already had a daughter-in-law, a son-in-law, and two concubines, so she really felt sad for Shuwan. She doesn't want to be a stepmother herself! The stepson and stepdaughter are not a few years younger than themselves.
Thinking of her current predicament, Shu Qing couldn't help but resentful of Shu Yao's three siblings, in the years before they went to the capital, she didn't show much favor to them, but why were they so shrewd and so vindictive? She wanted to say to them: "The prime minister can hold a boat in his belly." (To be continued......)
