Chapter 117: Anyone Can Calculate
In the filial piety period, I don't like to listen to the play and play cards. The girls stayed in their respective rooms, and only went to Rong'an Hall every day to greet the old lady.
"Miss, you study so hard, day after day, the son of the world knows the way, maybe I can praise you a few words." used to say that the seventh girl is willing to work hard, what will happen to Jiang Erye. Since the girl's homework was handed over to the master, Chunying has been chattering every once in a while, and she has naturally changed her words.
The seventh girl put down her pen and looked at Chunying with a natural expression, as if the prince of the world was disciplining her, and the one who was justified and took advantage of it. Why didn't she see Master Jiang taking the school wife's homework?
After the day's serious work was done, and there was still some time before dinner, the master and servant went to the courtyard to take a walk and comfort their sedentary stiff muscles and bones.
Go out along a stone-paved path, this place is rarely visited, weekdays to go to the lotus pond, mostly walk the verandah in front.
Before I turned the corner, I heard the sound of a woman arguing in a low voice behind the rockery by the lotus pond. Afraid that people would hear it, he deliberately suppressed his voice, Xu was too angry, and his words were full of unwillingness. It's like all the complaints are on the lips, and I endured and endured it, so I didn't scream out loud.
"Big sister, since you are married, how can you still have the face to go home and ask your wife for money? Do you really not know the difficulties of the big house, or do you just care about yourself, and you just want to force a few of us to be small, so shabby that you can't even prepare a dowry?! ”
When the seventh girl heard it, isn't this the second girl Jiang Chun? Didn't you say that the second girl had already decided on a family and was about to get married? At this time, they quarreled over the dowry?
Thinking of the second girl's incomprehensibility, the seventh girl was so focused on leaving in a hurry with Chunying. The big house is a muddy water, and when she saw the eldest girl staying in Jiang's house, she knew that the water was very deep.
"Ah Chun, how can you talk to your sister like that? You and I are both the daughters of my wife, how can I harm you? Daddy passed away, and your marriage date can't be delayed. You must get married in the hot filial piety, otherwise you will wait for another three years, and I don't know how many women will enter my uncle's family. Last night I was talking to my wife, and you snuck around outside the door, and only listened to half of it, just thinking about yourself. Now I still have the face to quarrel with me. If you knew this was the case, why bother to earn a dowry for you in front of your wife. ”
was pointed at her nose by this ignorant person, jumping and scolding, the eldest girl Jiang Yi was so angry. Others are afraid of Jiang Chun's obsession, but she is not afraid. As the eldest sister, she has taught Jiang Chun the truth since she was a child. It's a pity that Jiang Chun is stupid, impatient, and short-tempered, and Jiang Yi is very disappointed in her. Whenever there is a big matter, I always consult with the eldest lady Tong.
"Big sister, don't just pick good things and say them, think I'm stupid and foolish? Yesterday, I heard you begging your wife to give your uncle 10,000 taels of silver. Where is the big house now with 10,000 taels of spare money for you to spend? ”
He had come back to his mother's house to ask for money. No wonder Jiang Yiren didn't go back, and he didn't see the eldest aunt to blame him at all. This is the meaning of throwing the eldest girl back to her parents' house, and if she can't get the money, she won't take anyone back?
had already pulled Chunying to turn around and understand the doorway, and the seventh girl was only speechless. This is the good marriage that was praised by the old lady and the eldest lady back then? But any man with backbone, who is willing to call his own woman and go back to his parents' house to make such a shameful thing?
The seventh girl shook her head, only to feel that the big house was becoming more and more smoky, which was a headache. was about to leave, but he heard the eldest girl sneer, quite confident, "Where did you get the spare money, you can't think of it with your brain." Don't forget, my wife helps the housekeeper, and it is estimated that she has been in the situation for almost two years. ”
The meaning of this is really understandable to a fool. There is no money in the big house, what is this matter, the Jiang family has money. Now in addition to the big house, doesn't the Jiang family have a second-room official family? The broken bones are still connected to the tendons, and the big house has no backbone, so it naturally has to reach out to the second room.
Chunying looked up at the girl in amazement, only to see that her own girl restrained her smile, her face was very calm, and she couldn't see joy or anger.
The second girl finally figured it out, and when she was surprised, her tone soared. "Big sister is talking about, stealing money from the public? That's right, the filial piety money that the second old man's family gives to the old lady during the New Year's holidays can be made up with a few more 10,000 taels. ”
The seventh girl was almost amused by the second girl who saw the money. The idea of exploitation hit the old lady's head. was known by the grandmother of the Jiang family, who clearly loved the juniors, but was actually greedy for wealth and wealth, and couldn't give up money, and she was not angry and picked her skin!
The big girl looked up to the sky and gasped, how could there be such a stupid girl in the big house. I must explain this matter to her clearly today, otherwise, this person who can't hold it on his lips, if one day he says that he slips through his mouth and spreads into the ears of the old lady, won't he bring trouble to the big house for nothing?
So he scolded angrily and said, "I don't have a long brain", and I muttered to people, and I heard the second girl Jiang Chun "It's like this" and "Big sister, you didn't say it earlier", so she sighed a lot.
"Miss......" As the girl quietly turned back, the whispers of the eldest girl and the second girl biting their ears were inaudible in the corner. The Seventh Maiden did not delay for a moment, and quickly left the place with her. Looking at the girl's expression, she didn't see anger, but revealed a little weirdness.
"Chunying, remember to hide this matter from the five girls today. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the house will be restless. ”
The seventh girl couldn't help but shake her head, this matter is so troublesome, she is really going to be expected, Jiang's reputation, I am afraid that it will be completely ruined by the big house.
"Follow me to find the eldest brother, this matter cannot be delayed." Because the wife is happy, people are not here. The only person who can get an idea in the second room is Jiang Nan and Jiang Yu. But Jiang Nan is more suitable to come forward in this matter, and mention it in front of Lord Jiang, if you want to spread out the matter, Dafang will not dare to commit a crime against the wind.
The seventh girl has a very thoughtful idea, but unfortunately, people are not as good as heaven. Because I didn't want to involve the five girls in this incident, I didn't know that things were complicated and almost killed people. After that, there were many twists and turns, and even I got into it.
That night, Uncle Jiang Nan entered Lord Jiang's study with a calm face. The father and son sat down opposite each other, and when Jiang Nan explained the reason, Master Jiang stroked his forehead, and he was a little tired in his depression.
"Did you really say that?"
"The seventh sister has a servant, both of them have heard it with their own ears, and there will be no mistake."
Master Jiang rubbed his eyebrows and leaned back in the circle chair, with mixed feelings. originally thought that Jiang Li had died unjustly, and Dafang was still immersed in grief and couldn't extricate himself. How do you know it's such a bastard! For his widowed sister-in-law and several children, when such a thing happened, the compassion that was originally born in Lord Jiang's heart faded a little.
"Go back, this matter is your own father, go and open this mouth to the old lady. What the seven girls said is reasonable, don't let the five girls know, with her temperament, it has to be a bad ending. ”
In the end, it is the girl in the second room, and her heart is always towards the second room. Thinking of the seventh girl's sensibility, Master Jiang was grateful for the upbringing of the Xu family. Uncle Jiang Yu and Seventh Girl Jiang Yuan, both of whom are very popular with him. As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel a little more hope for the one in Mrs. Xu's stomach.
