Chapter 452 The discouraged third lady
The jade is not cut, and it is not made; If the wood is not carved, it will not become wood; People don't learn, they don't know reason.
Although the words of the ancestor are a bit straightforward, the truth is very correct!
I thought that Uncle Feng would be spoiled for the sake of his precious son not to suffer, but when he grew up, he naturally became a gentleman, and even he was angry with him.
He died, and his Hun's family, Feng Qi, was still accustomed to Feng Bo, and everything went according to him, always afraid that he would be wronged a little, and as a result, his good family was tormented by him.
"Mother, younger brother, he took the money and didn't buy the exam questions, he actually went to the gambling house to play it! You're going to have to take care of him."
Feng Sanniang sat on the stool and complained angrily to his mother.
Feng Qishi listened, and the mouth that was chanting the Buddha finally stopped, opened his eyes and took a look at Sanniangzi, sighed and said: "Sanniang, Bo'er has just come out of the prison cell, and he is not happy, go to the gambling house to play two handfuls, just have fun and relax, no trouble!" ”
"Out of the way?"
The third lady stood up suddenly, pointed to her father's spirit card on the mourning hall outside the door and said, "Mother, look at what our family has become now?" In the past, when my father was here, there was money coming in every day, so it didn't matter, but since my father left, how much money was left on the account? Our family immediately ran out of money to hire long-term workers! ”
"Money, money, money! Your daughter's family, why do you keep talking about these things, Amitabha! Feng Qi whispered a Buddha name and said, "Your father often said that the money he left behind can be enough for our family to live a carefree life!" ”
"Carefree?"
For her mother, Feng Sanniang knows that in addition to eating fasting and reciting Buddha in her life, she is reciting Buddha and eating fasting, and she doesn't care about all things in the family.
So the third lady turned around and walked out of the house, and soon walked in with an account book.
"Mother, look at it, this is the old account book that remembers the ledger, and there are only five taels of silver left on it, and even the money for the New Year's meat is not enough to pay it back!"
Feng Qishi just didn't know how to count, he asked to hear this, and quickly took it to see, especially when he compared the number of money in the account with the number of debts, he knew that his daughter was right, and he looked at it again and again for a long time before he said: "Is it wrong in the account book, I only read it some time ago, there is still a lot of money on the account, why is it gone in a few days, is it that the account room is missing?" ”
"How can the account room make mistakes, Uncle Lao Ping has followed his father to keep accounts all his life, how could he make mistakes!" The third lady replied.
"Well, then the money is spent too fast!"
Looking at her dazed mother, Feng Sanniang suddenly became angry, turned around and sat back on the seat, picked up half of the tea that had already been cold, and drank it into her stomach and said:
"You'll have to ask your son! Since my father stopped doing business, the family has no big money in the account, and I live purely on rent, and then I spent a lot of money for my father's funeral, and there is not much money left, and later, in order to get Boer out of prison, except for this ancestral house, the rest of the shops, houses and fields were all sold."
Speaking of this, the third lady's face was already very ugly, and she continued with a cold face: "The original balance of money, save a little money, we can still live, I never thought that Boer he spent more and more money, mother, you see, only five days, he has spent three hundred taels of silver, these three hundred taels of silver, if put in ordinary people's homes, but enough for a family of three for thirty years!" ”
"Alas, Boer is used to spending money lavishly, and he doesn't know how to save for a while! When he returns, I'll persuade him! ”
If in normal times, he came to complain, it is already very good for his mother to be able to say this, but now it is not ordinary, if he can't completely restrict his younger brother's habit of spending money indiscriminately, the house handed down by his ancestors in front of him is estimated to be spent by him in a short time, so the third lady continued to say with a serious expression:
"Mother, now our family's situation is already dilapidated, if my younger brother still doesn't want to be motivated, and goes out all day long to fool around and spend money, our family is not far from the day when we go out to live in a thatched house, and at that time, who is willing to marry their daughter into our family to give birth to a child for my younger brother?"
When Feng Qi was young, he lived a tight life with Feng Laozhang, so he could still endure hardships, but for his son not being able to marry a wife, this was really an unacceptable thing for her.
So she couldn't recite the Buddhist scriptures anymore, so she sat up directly from the futon, took the account book and walked towards Feng Bo's house, followed by Feng Sanniang closely.
Feng Bo's room, the decoration and furnishings are naturally gorgeous, even the maid who serves him is very beautiful, the two of them flashed into the courtyard all the way, and saw Feng Bo lying on the Luohan bed, with his eyes closed, being kneaded by a maid who only wore a mandarin duck belly pocket.
Feng Qishi coughed, the maid quickly got up and got out of bed, picked up the clothes scattered on the ground and ran out in a hurry, Feng Bo was awakened, raised his bare chest and asked:
"Mother, why are you here, my head is uncomfortable and I am about to rest for a while!"
As soon as he said that his head was uncomfortable, Feng Qishi was taken aback, and hurriedly flashed over and asked him:
"My son, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Bo lay back on the bed, his eyes closed and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired!" Want to take a break! ”
"Really? It's okay, rest well, and go first! ”
After speaking, he was about to turn around and leave the house, this time, Feng Sanniang was annoyed, and he walked to Feng Bo's bed, grabbed his quilt, and dragged him hard, Feng Bo fell directly to the ground with the quilt.
This time also made Feng Bo angry, and when he stood up, he yelled at Feng Sanniang: "You wicked person, what are you going to do?" ”
Feng Sanniang didn't care about being scolded by her younger brother as a wicked person, so she directly slammed the account book in her hand into his arms and said, "What are you doing?" Look at you, you have spent all the money in the family in just a few days! What do you say I'm going to do! ”
Of course Feng Bo knew what he had done, so he didn't look at the account book, and continued to shout at Feng Sanniang: "What I spent, didn't you spend money!" Besides, the money was left for me by my father, so why can't I spend it! ”
"Flowers, flowers, flowers!"
Feng Sanniang had long been disappointed in this younger brother, and she didn't bother to quarrel with him, so she said angrily: "Go for flowers!" I don't have a penny left in my house! I'll see how long you can spend! ”
"No money!" Feng Bo said angrily: "If you hadn't sold all the shops and fields, how could there be no money at home!" ”
What kind of nonsense is this, Feng Sanniang is so angry! If you don't sell the silver, where did you get the money to get you out of prison, so the third lady stretched out her finger and pointed at the tip of his pen and wanted to scold this white-eyed wolf fiercely, but she never thought that Feng Bo was faster than her, and stretched out her right hand to point at Feng Sanniang, and said to Feng Qishi next to her: "Mother, your third daughter is really a good girl, and all the fields and shops that my father has been fortunate to have left all his life have been sold by her, if it is sold, do you know how she sold it?" ”
Feng Qi only knew that he wanted to sell the house and Tian, and he knew how to sell it, so he shook his head suspiciously.
Her shaking of her head boosted Feng Bo's confidence.
"Mother, I went to inquire, those fields and shops can be sold for at least 3,000 yuan at the market price, but as a result, he sold 500 yuan, and lost 2,500 yuan inside and out! Mother, if there is such a large amount of money, how can our family have no money to spend, and how can you still suffer? ”
Feng Qishi was convinced of his son's words, and immediately asked Sanniang: "Sanniang! What's going on? ”
"What's going on?"
The third lady is so tired, especially the feeling of being wronged makes her have no energy.
"Mother, when you sold the shop and the field, you were also there, and the price that was discussed, Uncle Lao Ping told you one by one! Why do you have to ask me! ”
"Oh, my mother is old, and I have forgotten it a long time ago!" Feng Qishi said casually.
Seeing this, the third lady had no choice but to continue to explain: "At that time, Boer entered the prison cell, and the officials in the yamen came to handle the case, saying that they wanted to take the money out, how could the neighbors of our family not know about it, and those who bought houses were even more clear, and they deliberately lowered the price, so they only bought the money!" I told you all about this at the time, so I had to slow it down first, and I only needed to sell a shop to redeem Boer after the New Year! It is you who will save him immediately! ”
After saying that, the third lady said to Feng Bo on the side with a cold face: "This matter, after you got out of the cell, Uncle Ping also told you, what are you doing again now?" Don't you want everyone to get you out of prison? ”
"How is that possible!" Feng Bo shouted loudly: "I am a student of the county school, if I am sentenced by the yamen and convicted, I will be dropped out of the school by the county school, and I will not be able to participate in the imperial examination in the future!" So it's right for my mother to save me first! ”
Speaking of this, Feng Bo coughed and said, "The reason why I say this is because I think you are all fooled!" ”
"Fooled?" The two of them looked at Feng Bo suspiciously.
"Yes, money is moving! Mother, the child suspects that Uncle Ping's old slave is a deliberate partnership between him and Yaxing to deceive us, I asked my friends, and they said, even if you are in a hurry, Yaxing will not kill the price so low, our family will have at least 1,200 silver miles, what is the result? It's only sold for eight hundred taels at a time, otherwise no one buys it, can't you see such an unreasonable thing? ”
Although the third lady didn't believe that this person who grew up watching himself grow up would coax his own family with outsiders, he didn't dare to pack the ticket in his heart, so he had to shake his head.
This is the case, originally this time, I came here to limit Feng Bo's monthly money, but as a result, there was a lot of noise, which caused this matter again, and the treatment of Uncle Ping, the third lady was not easy to come forward, so Feng Qi handed it over to Feng Bo.
Although Uncle Ping is a servant in the Feng family, he is not a servant who signs the death contract, so he is angry but can accept the dismissal of the young master of the main family, after all, after the death of Uncle Feng, he has nothing to remember, the only thing he is still thinking about is the third lady, so he said to the third lady, "marry early", and the person packed his luggage and led the Hun family to leave neatly.
