Chapter 160: Beauty
When I heard someone say that she was going to move out of Yangzhou because Yanran was not used to Yangzhou, Mrs. Lu's mouth couldn't help but pout: "Who made this rumor?" Don't you know the truth of marrying a chicken and a dog and marrying a dog? When a woman's family marries her husband, can she still say that she has to leave because her husband is not used to the place where she stays? ”
"Although it is said that marrying a chicken and marrying a dog is like a dog, I have heard that Rong Sanye loves his wife very much, since he loves his wife, the capital is not without foundation, and it is not common to move out of Yangzhou?" Lu Pozi's words naturally attracted rebuttals.
Mrs. Lu swept the bucket with cold eyes, and there was not much mung bean soup left, so she put down the scoop and wiped her hands with her apron, and then said to the person who spoke: "How careless people must be those who believe this?" The Rong family has been in Yangzhou for almost forty years, and the master has done his best to lay down such a family business, so he said lightly, you believe it, I don't believe it. Besides, this is leaving Yangzhou, why don't you see the Rong family's descendants looking for other things, but still serve inside? ”
If the Rong family really wants to leave Yangzhou, it must be the Rong family's own people who know it first, which outsiders know it first? Mrs. Lu asked about the difference, seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Mrs. Lu picked up the burden of mung bean soup and left: "I know, you must be bewitched by others, but if you really don't believe it, just follow me to see if the door of Rong is still the same as before." ”
Mrs. Lu's words made people outside hesitate, what Mrs. Lu said was reasonable, but should you believe this? Although the big man was arguing with the people inside, his companions were also watching outside, and when it was almost time to come out and say a few words, the crowd would be noisy again. Seeing Mrs. Lu's words, the crowd was a little divided, and the big man's companion and the big man glanced at each other, and the big man understood, so he wanted to pinch his fist and hit the shopkeeper, and if he wanted to make trouble, he simply made more trouble.
Just when the big man's fist was about to reach the shopkeeper's face, suddenly the outside was quiet, and the big man was stunned by the quiet, and the shopkeeper took advantage of this to shrink his head and turn his head to look out.
Outside, there was a sedan chair, this sedan chair was not unusual, next to the sedan chair stood a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, this girl looked dressed like a maid. But the ten fingers are like spring onions, and the raw ones are also hibiscus, and the willows are like eyebrows. What the maid wears is also embroidered with silk. The butterflies embroidered on it all seem to be able to fly.
Whose maid is this, dressed like this? Even the maid is so beautiful, what kind of person is the person sitting in the sedan chair, is it more beautiful? Seeing young beauties will always make people take a few more looks, not to mention that there are still speculations.
Dahan couldn't help but see where this came from, if he came to redeem it, if he came to do something else, he came to dismantle himself.
"Chunjuan, take these." Everyone speculated that more than one time, there was a voice in the sedan chair, and it was really not enough to describe the beautiful sound of the yellow warbler out of the valley. With the sound of speaking, the sedan curtain lifted a corner, a hand stretched out, the hand was a little more tender than the spring onion, and the fingers were not dyed with Kodan like others, but just painted a small peony with Kodan on the little fingernails.
This hand is so beautiful, is it even better for a real person? There has never been a shortage of beauties in Yangzhou, but there are many beauties that ordinary people can't see. Some people already wanted to go to the sedan chair, but the mother-in-law beside the sedan chair had already scolded, and everyone had to be a foot away from the sedan chair, and their eyes couldn't wait to stare out, so that they could see through the sedan curtain to see what the beauty in the sedan chair looked like?
Chunjuan took the burden, and didn't take these people's eyes seriously, Tingting walked into the pawnshop, came to the shopkeeper, and handed him the burden: "This is a few pieces of jewelry, I want to come and be, and ask the shopkeeper to see how much silver it can be." ”
The shopkeeper was also thinking in his heart, what kind of person is this, hearing Chunjuan say this, he took the burden blankly, opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but sigh. There are not many jewelry in the baggage, but there are three things, but these three are not ordinary colors, one is a piece of mutton fat jade jade pendant, the jade color is shiny, and there is a soft light in the sun. The second is a gold collar with a little emerald, and the lower part of the collar is decorated with pearls to form a jewel, and the big one is as big as a lotus seed, and the small one is a whole circle larger than a grain of rice. The third is a golden hairpin inlaid with treasures, which is the least unusual, but the gem is also the size of a fingernail.
People who can take out these things need to be things. The shopkeeper's mind turned for a while before he said, "These things, taken together, can be used as five hundred taels of silver." Chunjuan sighed and said: "Then ask the shopkeeper to give me a pawn ticket, and besides, this silver is too heavy, I can't take it, let you guys send it to the Chu family in Xiahekou." ”
Xiahekou Chu's house, as soon as the name of this place came out, everyone looked at the small sedan chair, and it turned out that this was the Chu girl who ordinary people couldn't see. Although what she did in Suzhou was secretive, who didn't know how many days she would be favored. Although he didn't have the opportunity to enter the palace, the magistrate still treated this one cautiously, lest he think of this on a whim one day, and then the person flew on the branch and became a phoenix, which is a character that these magistrates can provoke.
The eyes of everyone looking at the sedan chair also began to change differently, this Chu girl, definitely not a broken household that needs to rely on things to live, she came out to support the Rong family pawnshop, the so-called Rong family to move out of Yangzhou is just a rumor.
When the shopkeeper heard a Chu character, he was even more respectful to Chunjuan, wrote a pawn ticket, and sent a guy to hold the silver and go back with the Chu family's sedan chair. The sedan chair of the Chu family has not left, so another sedan chair came, and the sedan chair that came later, when he saw the sedan chair of the Chu family, he lifted the sedan curtain, and said to the sedan chair of the Chu family with a smile: "Sister Chu came early, I thought I could see Sister Chu." ”
Miss Chu didn't answer, which made everyone who was looking forward to hearing Miss Chu's second sentence a little disappointed, only Chunjuan blessed the woman: "Miss Qi Thirteen, our girl still has something to do, so go back first." Saying that, the Chu family sedan chair got up, and Chunjuan followed the sedan chair back.
The thirteen girls didn't think so, and only asked the maid by the sedan chair to send something to the Rong family's pawnshop. This posture makes people understand that the so-called Rongjia pawnshop is going to close its doors, but it is just a rumor.
Then the third and fourth vehicles are all things that ordinary people can't see, and the daughters who are kept at home at the mouth of the river brought maids to make things in the pawnshop. At this time, everyone refused to leave, and only waited in front of the door to see the beauty. When the last sedan chair left, everyone came back to their senses, and this beauty was also gone.
The shopkeeper's heart was put down, and now, everyone knows that the Rong family pawnshop will not be closed. Master Rong breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know why these beauties came, but today this difficulty is over. Master Rong coughed lightly before saying, "Everyone, if you still have to redeem it, please come here." ”
The one who was going to make trouble, knowing that no one else would listen to it, reached out and took the shirt, muttered a few words and left. Those who did not want to redeem themselves were scattered, and there were not many who came to redeem them. Master Rong instructed the shopkeeper and his men to send them out one by one, and then went home.
"That's how it was solved?" Mrs. Lu, who listened to it, came back to learn and couldn't help frowning. Mrs. Lu's eyes were all smiling: "Yes, that's how it was solved, no one thought that Miss Chu would do this." Speaking of which, our family doesn't have much of a good relationship with this Chu girl. Grandma, she will be rewarded abundantly for doing so. ”
If you want Yanran to remember, there are two friendships, one is the jade pendant, and the other is when Rong Yu has the second dream, Rong Qi asked Miss Tuo Chu, and besides that, there will be no more. But this Chu girl, why does she want to contribute to the Rong family like this? And such a great kindness is really difficult to repay.
What the? When Zhou heard the crisis of the pawnshop, it was easily solved, his eyes widened, and he sat there unable to speak. Mrs. Zhou loved her daughter, patted her hand and said, "Actually, according to me, the two of you, the share, plus your dowry, this life is enough to have enough food and clothing." Besides, everyone has everyone's difficulties, you are a small family, and your uncle loves you, so it will be convenient to give me another grandson when the time comes? ”
"What my mother-in-law said is, sister-in-law, although I don't understand this business, but I have counted it that day, the velvet shop in my uncle's hand is 2,000 silver a year, the 500 acres of good land, and the food eaten every year is outside, and there are also 300 or 2 items. Coupled with the interest of your dowry, sister-in-law, there are also five or six thousand taels a year. This silver, although it is nothing in a family like ours, can be taken elsewhere, and it is also a rich family. Sister-in-law, why do you think so much? "Grandma Zhou has always disapproved of the Zhou family helping the Zhou family to calculate the Rong family's property, after all, in Grandma Zhou's view, the silver that was taken out was her own family, and the benefits at that time were not cost-effective.
"What your sister-in-law said is, daughter, I know that you are used to living a good life, and you feel that five or six thousand taels a year, just spend it and it will be gone. But I'll help you calculate, these can also make new clothes for you every season and jewelry every month. Then a large family of people is enough for five or six thousand taels a year. What's more, you are only a family of three, and even the upper and lower people, there are only about thirty people. In the future, even if it is imported, it will be enough. ”
Zhou's mother also said this, and couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, Rong Yuzhi has to spend tens of thousands of silver a year, and he can spend five or six thousand a year in the boudoir, and now he wants so many people to spend, how can it be enough?
"Madam, the Rong family sent someone to say that they would take my aunt and grandmother home." Just when Zhou wanted to be coquettish again, a maid came in and said respectfully to Mrs. Zhou.
