Chapter 5: Each Conceives a Ghost (Part II)
In another cross-courtyard room, Uncle Kang and Pan's family were also thinking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Pan Shi stroked the furnishings in the house, and said sourly: "Look at the furnishings in this house, the two of them have enough to eat in their fingers on weekdays." ”
"Look at your appearance that you haven't seen the world," Uncle Kang pouted, "These are good there, I'm afraid they will be put away a long time ago," he touched his chin and muttered: "I can't see it, the little girl is quite fine silently." ”
Pan's eyes rolled, "You mean that the good things have been hidden by Yan Yatou, I just said, the two people in the second room have been operating in the city for so many years, how can there be only such a little decoration," said and remembered the five hundred taels of silver that Kang Yan said, "Alas, I said that the master, Yan Yatou said that there are only more than five hundred taels of silver left in the house, it must be fake." ”
"It must be fake," Third Uncle Kang concluded: "The second child is not so ambitious in business, it is impossible to invest all the money in it at once, otherwise he would not be just a medium-sized merchant in Macheng for so many years," Third Uncle Kang is still a little clear about Kang Zhixun's personality, he feels that Kang Zhixun is honest and decisive, and his eye for people and things is very sharp, "Besides, Yan Yatou is fourteen this year, how can the second sister-in-law not prepare a dowry for her?" ”
Pan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he sighed with some pain: "These family properties will be Erlang's two in the future, Erlang's two are really lucky, why don't our Shilang and Hachiro have such good luck?" "Uncle Kang gave birth to three sons, and they are Kang Saburo, Kang Siyang, and Kang Balang in order.
"What's the use of saying these sour words? It's better to think about how to reap some benefits. Uncle Kang began to roll his eyes, he couldn't study when he was young, so he farmed at home, and then the Kang family's life was better after he lived an idle life, and now the Kang family's life is not as good as day by day, the two of them are used to being idle, and they don't want to work anymore, so they are thinking about how to take advantage of other people's families all day long.
Pan Shi held his chin and sighed: "What's the use of thinking, the money is in the hands of the eldest and the eldest son, according to the sister-in-law's unstoppable temperament, it can be our turn there, unless it is not Erlang who succeeds." After that, he suddenly blessed his soul and clapped his hands excitedly, "Yes, that's it, if Erlang doesn't succeed, won't it be our turn to Shiro or Hachiro." ”
Third Uncle Kang also thought of this when Pan was muttering to himself just now, and when he saw Pan shouting out, he looked out twice with a weak heart, and scolded Pan in a low voice: "You are quiet, are you afraid that others will not hear us?" ”
"Afraid of what?" Pan Shi was a little disapproving, "The eldest and his family live in the East Cross Courtyard, and they can be heard from so far away," Seeing that her husband did not refute her words, although he didn't care, he also lowered his voice and said: "The head of the family also thinks what I said makes sense?" Do you think about a way to make Erlang not succeed? ”
Third Uncle Kang slowly paced in the room: "This matter is not very proper, and if you want the patriarch to agree, I'm afraid it won't be easy, unless you ........."
"Unless what? Say it. Pan urged repeatedly.
"Unless Yan Yatou speaks, as a filial daughter, if there is a legitimate reason to not let Erlang succeed, the patriarch can consider it." Uncle Kang San pondered the feasibility, "How can I make Yan Yatou speak?" There must be a valid reason for not letting Erlang succeed, unfilial piety or virtue loss? ”
Pan knew that his man had always had a lot of ideas, so he didn't say much, and the room was quiet for a while, when he heard someone shouting outside the door: "Are the third master and the third wife there?" ”
Pan's mouth responded, went to open the door, but saw a woman about thirty-six or seventeen years old standing outside the door, thin, melon seed face, willow eyebrows and big eyes, hair in a high bun, only a white flower hairpin on the sideburns, a filial piety clothes, described a little haggard, Pan subconsciously wanted to pull out a smile, but immediately realized that the current situation was not suitable for laughing, the smile froze on the side of the mouth, there was an indescribable funny, and said in his mouth: "It's Zhao Rui's family, but what's the matter?" ”
The person who came was Kang Yan's nurse Mother Zhao, she was originally Kang's mother's maid, and later married the housekeeper Zhao Rui, and the people called her Mother Zhao, she entered the house and asked the third uncle Kang and Pan's curtsy, "Our girl asked me to come over to ask the third master and the third wife about something?" ”
"What's the matter?" Uncle Kang's heart moved, the main thing should be the eldest brother and his wife, if there is something Kang Yan did not go to them, but came to find himself, could it be .......
saw that Zhao's mother hesitated for a moment, looking a little hesitant, as if she didn't know how to speak.
Although Pan knows this Zhao's mother, but is not familiar with it, in previous years, Kang Zhixun and his wife will take her back to the ancestral house during the Chinese New Year, for this slave but dressed very decently, the clothes on her body are more expensive than hers, Pan's heart is always sour, is not deliberately befriended, at this moment to see Zhao's mother's expression embarrassed, thinking that there is something to beg the two of them, the expression is a little perfunctory: "Zhao Rui's family, if you have anything, just say it, don't be so sloppy, we still have something to do." ”
"What's going on there?" Uncle Kang's mind turned quickly, and he hurriedly glared at Pan secretly, and said to Zhao's mother with a kind expression: "If you have to say something, what is it difficult for your niece?" If you say it, I, as an uncle, will try my best to help her. ”
"Thank you, Third Master," Mother Zhao pursed her lips, and then said slowly: "There is indeed something that troubles the Third Master and the Third Wife, and it is related to succession." ”
Mother Zhao said very slowly, observing the expressions of Kang San and his wife as she spoke, and saw that Pan's eyes lit up when she heard the two words of step, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to the step?" But the niece has a different opinion about the succession? After asking, he felt that he was too obvious, and cleared his throat a little unnaturally, "I mean my niece has something to say." ”
Mother Zhao pretended not to see her expression, but secretly sighed in her heart for her girl's shrewdness, pretended to be embarrassed on her face, and said: "The third master and the third wife also know that our girl has little time to return to the ancestral house, and she doesn't know much about the nature of the family, so I asked me to come over and ask the third master and the third wife about the second young master and the second young grandmother......... Our girl didn't rely on it, and she couldn't stand the old lady under the yellow spring. ”
Uncle Kang and Pan glanced at each other, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes that could not be missed, and they were really dozing off, and someone brought a pillow.
