Fang Yuniang's favorite silver ticket in her life. Du Xiancheng used to like to take a silver ticket to coax Du Hengshuang, which is also the reason why there is a Fang Niang. - because I used to coax it before.

Fang Yuniang took out a handful of silver tickets from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Abo, "Take it, if you can't use it yourself, take it and distribute it to the poor, it can be regarded as a merit." After speaking, he looked coldly at the eighth woman who spread rumors and gossip and deliberately blackened Xiao Xiangsheng.

The woman's face was red and white, and the fat on her face trembled, and the thick powder almost fell down.

Everyone present was dumbfounded. These people are all well-off families like Fang Liniang's in-laws, they are not wealthy, and they have not really seen the real rich and noble families. They have always known that the Du family and the Xiao family are rich, but they never expected that they would be rich to this point!

Some people looked at Fang Yuniang's eyes and there was already something wrong.

Fang Yuniang's eldest maid Cuiqin was very anxious on the side.

When she was about to go out, Ou Yangniang told her to watch Mrs. and not let Mrs. cause trouble for the master. Now that the wind is tight, since the emperor opened the palace door and recruited a bunch of concubines and daughters into the palace, it is said that the palace began to make ends meet, and began to increase taxes on merchants from all walks of life in the market, and there are even rumors that the government wants to tighten the monopoly of salt and iron and reduce the number of salt merchants listed in the government.

Their Xiao family and Du family, because they have official status, do not have to worry about taxation, but the imperial court's tightening of the monopoly of salt and iron is a real blow to the Xiao and Du families.

Fang Yuniang heard Du Xiancheng mention these things twice, but she didn't understand them at all, and she didn't take them to heart. However, Ou Yangniang was born extraordinary, and when she heard the importance of it, she instructed Cuiqin to watch her wife, especially not to let her show off her wealth outside, and spread it to the ears of some people, I don't know how many waves will be turned over by the road.

But she is just a maid, and all the officials and wives in the hall here are officials, even if they are seven-grade sesame officials, they are also officials. - Where is she a maid to speak?!

was in a hurry, Du Hengshuang was tired of running outside, ran in with a smile, and saw Cuiqin's anxious look, Du Hengshuang was very strange, tugged on Cuiqin's skirt, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Cuiqin, are you uncomfortable?" Is it a stomachache? ”

When I was in the Du family, once, Fang Yuniang's other big girl, Cuixin, had a menstrual problem, and her stomach hurt, and she had this uncomfortable look on her face. Du Hengshuang asked once at that time, Cuixin said that it was "stomach pain", Du Hengshuang remembered it, and since then, when she sees a maid with discomfort on her face, she will ask if it is a stomach ache.

Seeing Du Hengshuang's curious look, Cuiqin had an idea, picked up Du Hengshuang, pointed to a group of stunned adults in the house, and Young Master Abo, who was holding a silver ticket in his hand and his mouth was wide open, and said to Du Hengshuang: "Miss, Mrs. just gave away the silver ticket for Miss, can you take it back?" ”

Du Hengshuang frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "The silver ticket belongs to my father and mother, and my mother can send it to whoever she wants." Why did Sister Cuiqin want Shuang'er to take it back? ”

Cuiqin was stunned, but she didn't expect Du Hengshuang, who was only a little over two and a half years old, to be so articulate.

"Well, the eldest lady is right. However, the lady took out the silver ticket like this, and let others know that our family has so much silver, and the lord will be unhappy. Cuiqin had no choice but to rack her brains, say something that Du Hengshuang could understand and work, and quietly told Du Hengshuang about the 10,000 taels of silver tickets.

Compared with Fang Yuniang, Du Hengshuang actually prefers her father Du Xiancheng.

As soon as he heard that his father would be unhappy, Du Hengshuang immediately turned around, and the crystal pupils spun around, and then he broke down from Cuiqin and ran to Fang Yuniang's side.

"Mother, mother, Daddy asked Steward Du to send in a silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver yesterday, saying that it will be for the family next year, why did you give it all to your cousin? What to do with the frost? Will our family run out of food next year? Du Hengshuang hugged Fang Yanniang's arm and shook it, and then cried loudly.

She was young and articulate, and she spoke eloquently, coupled with big tears, and everyone present believed her words at once.

As the saying goes, "children are not taboo", so many adults have the illusion that children can't lie......

Abo was the first to react, and hurriedly handed the silver ticket in his hand to Du Hengshuang, picked her up and coaxed: "Sister Shuang'er, don't cry, cousin will return the silver ticket to you, Sister Shuang'er won't run out of food." ”

Du Hengshuang hugged the silver ticket tightly to his chest, and burst into laughter, "Xie Lu, cousin Xie Abo!" ”

Fang Yuniang looked at Du Hengshuang dumbfounded, trembling with anger, and was about to speak angrily, Cuiqin had already given Fang Liniang a few looks.

Fang Liniang hurriedly walked around, took Fang Yuniang's hand and said, "I have something to say, follow me in." ”

The chubby woman who was smashed by Fang Yuniang with a silver ticket just now also came back to her senses, slapped the table and laughed wildly, "Yo, this coke killed me!" Showing off his wealth in front of me, it turned out to be a swollen face and a fat man! Let you brag and be exposed by your own children, right? - If it's me, I'm really ashamed, how can I still have a face to sit at the table! ”

Everyone laughed loudly, with some indescribable comfort in their hearts.

Although these people may not have a net worth of 10,000 taels of silver in their lifetime, the household expenses of a salt merchant's family of 10,000 taels of silver a year are compared with the private house money of 10,000 taels of silver a month for the salt merchant's wife, and everyone generally believes that the household of 10,000 taels of silver a year is more reliable, and it is more acceptable to the toiling public.

Say that they have a private house of 10,000 taels of silver a month, when their home is a government silver factory? - Cut, bragging will be punished!

The laughter of the crowd reached the back room.

Fang Yuniang became more and more angry, "Listen to what that slut says?" Sister, don't pull me, let me teach her a lesson! - And Hengshuang! Don't run, come over to me! In public, you still dare to lie, lose your mother's face, I think you have itchy skin, right? Go back and see how Ou Yangniang cleans you up! Although she was angry, she was reluctant to touch Du Hengshuang's hair, Fang Yuniang raised her slap and bluffed twice, and then she put it back in despair, and turned her head to wipe her tears.

Fang Liniang hurriedly comforted her softly.

Waiting for Fang Yuniang to calm down, Fang Liniang said in a low voice: "It's no wonder that these people gossip, it's a bad book, who can say it clearly?" You should be careful, too. It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. After speaking, he moved closer to Fang Yuniang, and whispered in her ear: "Do you know Lu Dao, who is Long Qiuye with?" ”

did not say "marry", but used the word "with", which has some origins.

Fang Yuniang felt uncomfortable, didn't notice this subtle difference, stopped her tears sullenly, pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and asked, "Didn't you give a dowry of 10,000 taels of silver, isn't anyone willing to marry her?" ”

The folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are still relatively open, and things like Long Qiuye, as long as they marry far away outside the capital, no one knows the way. The man who was willing to marry her would definitely not go around shouting that he had married an unchaste woman and came back.

Fang Liniang sneered, "If there is really a dowry of 10,000 silver, those who are willing to marry her can line up from the Danfeng Gate in the north to the Chengtian Gate in the south." But the problem is, you have to have real money! ”

"Brother Xiao is a man of his word. He said that he would give 10,000 taels, and he would definitely give it. Fang Yuniang was influenced by Du Xiancheng and was particularly convinced by Xiao Xiangsheng.

Fang Liniang shook her head mysteriously, "Of course Uncle Xiao gave the silver, but the Long family ...... I sold Long Qiuye to a master in our Jingzhao Yin Mansion who was over sixty years old and had just died of his wife......"

"Do you want to fill the house?!" Fang Yuniang was shocked. Filling the house for an old man in his sixties is a sin!

"Phew! A woman who has had an affair with no one has no dowry, how can anyone marry her as the main house? - She was sold to be a concubine! Fang Liniang smiled, "Can't guess, right?" Long Xiucai's family is really ruthless, and they completely treat the concubine as a person. Long Qiuye's sister is really lucky, and she can marry such a good marriage from such a person's family. This is fate, if you don't believe it, you can't do it. ”

……

Coming out of the eldest sister's house, Fang Yuniang has been in a shocked trance.

are all women, and Fang Yuniang has always had some sympathy for Long Qiuye. Although she shouldn't think about her brother-in-law, she just thinks about it in her heart. The head of all evil and fornication is that of a man who does not care about his deeds. She didn't deserve such a miserable ending.

The worst thing is that Xiao Ruisheng is a bastard, he actually pretended to be his eldest brother to deceive the ignorant girl, and his eldest brother personally helped him deal with the aftermath, he didn't have anything, and he could still continue to talk about marriage like a dog in the future, and marry a girl from a good family to come back to be the original match.

In the whole matter, Fang Yuniang's most sympathy is Long Xiangye, who is her sister, but she also has a little more pity for Long Qiuye, who has such a dismal end.

This incident shocked her too much, she forgot for a while that Du Hengshuang lied in public, and when she saw Du Xiancheng, she grabbed him and talked about the fate of Long Qiuye.

Du Xiancheng was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "The Long family is doing this, does Brother Xiao know the way?" ”

Fang Yuniang shook her head, "Where will I know this?" I just got back from my sister's house...... Oh, by the way, your precious daughter Frost has done something wrong today, you have to teach her a good lesson, and you can't spoil her too much. ”

Du Xiancheng was still thinking about Long Qiuye, and always felt that something was wrong, and muttered: "I have to go and talk to Brother Xiao about this matter." After speaking, he complained about the Long family, "Isn't it okay to marry Long Qiuye to a Zhuang man as a wife?" I had to sell her again and sell her to the old man as a concubine. Even if you sell it to an ordinary old man, you have to sell it to Jing Zhaoyin's master. If Long Qiuye is favored in the future, the Xiao family and the Long family will not be able to eat it, so they will leave in a circle! ”
