Chapter 25: A Fortune
The old man didn't know how to pick it up, he felt a little guilty about the Yu family, when the two families got married, because the Yu family was not in the capital, he didn't know that Jiang Zhaoqing's body was weak, and he didn't know it later. But Old Man Yu is a trustworthy person, and he thinks that Jiang Zhaoqing is good, but his health is poor, so he shouldn't have anything, so he still married his daughter.
At first, the husband and wife were very affectionate, but who knows, within a few years, Jiang Zhaoqing's health will become worse and worse, and Zuihou left his wife and daughter and went home.
How could the old man not feel guilty?
If Yu Xiuzhen hadn't married into the Jiang family, maybe she wouldn't have died so early.
The old lady thought the opposite, thinking that if Jiang Zhaoqing married a girl from another family, she might be able to live longer, which caused the two people to have diametrically opposite attitudes towards the Yu family.
"Chaoqing." Old Mrs. Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and stopped Yu Chaoqing, "Don't talk nonsense, it's all fate, it's not anyone's head, the in-laws and the wife are still haode to the insect mother, otherwise, they wouldn't have called us to discuss." ”
"yes, yes." The old man hurriedly said, "If you think it's inappropriate, you can say it again." ”
He didn't expect Yu Chaoqing to be so opposed, in fact, Huang Hongyi is really a good young man, he didn't bother to understand. The two families of Huangjiang are world friends, and Mr. Huang and Mrs. Huang both like Jiang Sumei very much, and she will definitely live a comfortable life when she marries.
But Yu Chaoqing felt that Huang Hongyi was a concubine and was not worthy of Jiang Sumei.
Speaking of which, this is still because of the grievances between the two families.
Yu Chaoqing has long been dissatisfied with the Jiang family, and that resentment is deeply rooted in his heart, he is not as tolerant as Mrs. Yu, so he can't tolerate Jiang Sumei's marriage worse than other girls.
Later, of course, it didn't work out.
But Jiang Sumei didn't know what they said in the second old room, and they were secretly speculating, but the result was nothing more than agreeing or disagreeing, according to how much the two of them loved themselves, the answer might be biased towards disagreement.
She guessed right.
Yu Chaoqing came in angrily and said, "With my uncle here for a day, don't try to fool them, they can't be worse than your lobby sister!" ”
Jiang Sumei was moved, but felt impossible, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't mess with the ticket, the lobby sister is married to the Bofu, how can I be?" It's all about fate. ”
"Don't be presumptuous, you're not inferior to others." Yu Chaoqing still thought she had no ambition.
Old Mrs. Yu frowned: "Your brother-in-law usually looks at Wen Tunshui, and it is scary to be angry, anyone dares to scold, how impolite it was just now, I said that the old man is here!" She reprimanded Yu Chaoqing, "You can't do this in the future!"
Yu Chaoqing didn't listen, he didn't expose the bad things that the old lady had done before, it was also for Jiang Sumei, he had a lot of handles in his hands, and now that Jiang Sumei is at the age of getting married, he will not give in easily, he must find a good family for Jiang Sumei to comfort his sister's spirit in the sky.
"In the future, I'll find you." He made a decision, "How many of us in the Hanlin Courtyard have not married a wife, which one is not better than the fourth son of their Huang family?" ”
Jiang Sumei sweated, and said disapprovingly: "Uncle can't judge whether a person is good or not in this way, isn't there no person in Hanlin Academy who is not a person who is not a person, and there is no person who has not gone to Hanlin?" ”
"That's just as well." Yu Chaoqing knocked his head, "I still have to find something to be haode." ”
Mrs. Yu couldn't stand him being so nitpicky: "It's not that I said that the insect girl is not good, but how many ladies are beautiful in the capital, where are there so many good things?" That's pretty much it, it's called the right door. ”
Jiang Sumei nodded hurriedly, she didn't want to find a perfect one, as long as she had a good character and her parents were reasonable, she could support her wife and children.
Actually, she doesn't want to be an official, how dangerous it is to be an official, an industry that loses her head at every turn, but unfortunately, most people like them still have to find the son of the official family.
Yu Chaoqing didn't know if he heard it, but said that he would pay attention.
The two sat for a while and left.
Jiang Sumei let out a long sigh, she always felt that this matter fell into the hands of Yu Chaoqing, and it didn't seem to be stable!
Yu Chaoqing cares too much, who knows what he will do.
Jiang Sumei had a headache.
Her matter didn't work out, the old lady was even more lazy to take care of it, and now there is a fierce and vicious Yu Chaoqing to stop her, but the old man seems to owe the Yu family money, take a step back from everything, what else can the old lady care?
She simply didn't do any effort, and told Li to leave it alone, Li was so happy, it happened to be Zhang Luojiang Nianmei's lifelong event.
If you want to say that Jiang Nianmei is really not worried about getting married, in the past few months, there have been seven or eight families who have come to propose marriage, and the Li family has picked one after another, and their eyes have to look at flowers.
These people have a foundation in the capital, not bad, but unfortunately, there are not many more than the Jiang family, the Li family is not satisfied, it is better to marry a daughter, she thinks that Jiang Nianmei can not be worse than Jiang Mumei, but she thinks that the second daughter is much better than the eldest daughter.
In this regard, the old lady also held the same opinion, but Jiang Zhaomin was different, he chose the eldest son of the Hu family.
The Hu family came out of a poor family, and the history in the capital is very short, but there are three generations of people, but the old man of the Hu family is very powerful, he has done the official book, and he has also entered the cabinet, and he has great political achievements.
Li refused, and the husband and wife had a fight.
The old lady loves Jiang Nianmei, but she refuses, Jiang Zhaomin can't resist these two at home, so she has to give up.
As for the old man, he was choked by Yu Chaoqing last time, and his enthusiasm for his granddaughter's marriage fell by more than half, but he didn't care much about them, and only let a few of them decide, and he would take a look again.
Just pick and choose, and time passes quickly.
Yu Chaoqing came in a hurry one day and handed Jiang Sumei a large bag of silver.
When she opened it, it was a hundred taels, and she almost jumped up.
"What's going on?" She exclaimed, "How many do you have?" ”
Yu Chaoqing nodded her head: "How is it possible, Yulu is only a few dozen taels a year, and this is what my uncle returned." ”
Jiang Sumei was confused.
Yu Chaoqing told her.
It turned out that the murder case of their family was committed by Yu Zihua, the younger brother of Old Man Yu, at that time, it was actually an unjust case, he did not do it, but was framed and blamed, but at that time Old Man Yu had passed away, and no one in the Yu family was reliable, so he wanted to find Old Man Jiang to help dredge it at that time, but unfortunately it was not successful because the old lady blocked it.
Later, Yu Zihua was arrested, but the Yu family spent a lot of money to accommodate, and the case was never closed, and it lasted for a year or two, coinciding with the replacement of the official position, and the original prefect was found to have done a lot of bad things, and was removed and exiled, and then a new official came here to take office.
The new prefect retried the case, only to learn that Yu Zihua had been wronged and was released on the spot.
Yu Zihua did not die, took his son to do business, made a fortune, bought two shops in the capital and gave them them, and also gave a large piece of fertile land in Funing County, the capital, together with the slaves in the grange.
Jiang Sumei sighed, this is probably called being a good person and having a good reward!
"Uncle, you should find someone to take care of it and be more relaxed." She told that after experiencing a poor life, she always knew the importance of money, Yu Chaoqing has not married a wife yet, and there are many places to spend money in the future.
Yu Chaoqing stuffed those land deeds and house deeds into her hands and said: "What do I care, I will give you a dowry in the future, and my mother agreed, if my sister hadn't sent the dowry back, we wouldn't have survived, and most of the original here was yours." ”
Jiang Sumei was stunned, and said after a while: "Then how can I do it, I, how can I ask for it?" ”
Yu Chaoqing laughed twice: "Uncle thinks you must be able to manage it, I heard it, and everyone outside praised you for being smart." My brother-in-law can study, but none of this is good, in my hands, I'm afraid that I will have to be the same as before, my mother is old and has no energy. ”
Jiang Sumei was stunned for a moment: "But it's not good for me to go out, how can I care?" ”
"Can you go out and be willing?" Yu Chaoqing asked rhetorically.
Jiang Sumei glanced at the deed in her hand and asked seriously, "Does my uncle really want me to take care of it?" ”
"Naturally, my mother and I both trust you, and it is impossible for us to give it to others." Yu Chaoqing said very sincerely, "Worm Niang, if you have these, you don't have to rely too much on others, you can buy whatever you want, they can't say a word, even if you marry your husband's family in the future, it's the same." ”
"And what if, I mess up?" Jiang Sumei hesitated, she didn't have a lot of confidence in this matter, after all, she was not familiar with life.
"Anyway, in my hands, it's going to be messed up, and it's a big deal to treat it as if you never got it." Yu Chaoqing reached out and touched her head, "But Uncle believes that you can manage it well, where do you want Uncle to help, even if you say it, run errands, Uncle can still do it." ”
They were so poor at the beginning, and once they got so much wealth, they actually changed hands and handed it over to her.
How could Jiang Sumei not be moved, her eyes were red, and she choked up: "If I earn it, I will only take one-third, uncle, don't forget, you still have to start a family, the future of the Yu family is pinned on you!" ”
She planned to accept the management first, wait until Yu Chaoqing got married, and then hand these over to her future little aunt.
Yu Chaoqing smiled: "Let's talk about it when you earn it." ”
Jiang Sumei nodded.
"Then tell me about all this, what kind of shop they are, do you have guys, what is the annual income, and this field, what is planted, and who is in charge of the ......" When she calmed down, she asked a series of questions.
Yu Chaoqing was dumbfounded, looked at her deeply and said, "Look, I said you can manage it, I didn't think of it so much, wait until I go back and sort it out." ”
Jiang Sumei frowned: "How many days have these things been in your hands?" ”
Yu Chaoqing scratched his head: "It's about four or five days......"
"Uncle hasn't been to those places to see it?"
"yes." Yu Chaoqing was a little embarrassed, he got this, he just thought about waiting for Xiu Muri to come over and give it to Jiang Sumei, but he didn't understand it first, which was equivalent to giving her the problem along with wealth.
Now that I think about it, it's really a little inappropriate, she is a girl's family, and if she wants to take care of it, it will be very difficult.
Jiang Sumei sighed: "Uncle, if you look for your little aunt in the future, you must keep your eyes open, not to mention anything else, the housekeeper must be amazing!" ”
Yu Chaoqing blushed, coughed and said, "Then I'll have time to watch." ”
"No, you're not available every day." Jiang Sumei thought for a while, and an idea appeared in her mind, "Is there a trusted little guy around my uncle?" It's better to let him come to the house, I can entrust him with anything in the future, even if it is very convenient to contact my uncle. ”
There is only one girl and a woman by her side, but there is no one.
However, there are many things outside that are inconvenient for women to do, and she also needs a few male servants who can be trusted to take care of her outside the house in the future.
Yu Chaoqing did not hesitate: "Of course there is, what do you think of Ding He?" ”
"Xiao Ding?" Jiang Sumei smiled, "He also has a younger brother, right?" Let's come along. ”
