Chapter 92: Reunion under the Mid-Autumn Festival
Rong Niang is using the prescription of "making money in the right way" to test the idiot, isn't the idiot testing this little girl?
Obviously, compared to being thick-faced and black-hearted, the little lady in the house was completely defeated.
She straightened her face and said, "What are you talking about, it's a shop, not a house." It's a shop that was opened to praise some money, and the profits are all shared, so what's the toss? Your mind, I received it with Saburo, as for the sharing and the like, don't mention it again. If I am really greedy for these pieces of silver, why will I come to you and say to you? It's not impossible to open a shop by yourself. Not only me and San Lang, but also the dividends between Sister Shunniang and Tiger Head, I don't agree with you to give it. This kind of unearned foreign wealth, starting at the beginning, may make people feel embarrassed, but it is easy to take advantage of addiction, and people's hearts are easy to be greedy. If you catch up with them and you help them, they will think of you. If you give it for free in such a fixed way, not only will it not be good, but you will not be able to give it if you want to it one day. In addition, no matter how good the relationship between Sister Shunniang and Erlang is, it is not the same before marriage and falling to the ground after marriage. Sister Shunniang has Brother-in-law Zhang by her side, and Erlang will also take her daughter-in-law here in the future, in the end, it is two families, the money is not clear, and there will be annoyance in the future. The relationship between sisters and brothers is good, not on this. Sister Shunniang is divided into 100 taels of silver a year, and if you are out of luck, Sister Shunniang has a backer. ”
These few words, Rong Niang really opened her mouth for the sake of Taoism.
After all, the Taoist idiot is just the heir, and Shunniang is the granddaughter of Wang Ning's family. The Taoist idiot is willing to treat Shunniang well, and Wang Ning's family will definitely only be happy, and will not say anything else.
But Rong Niang didn't want to see the idiot suffer too much.
In her opinion, Dao idiots have done a lot for the outer nine rooms. The outer nine rooms are poor, as we all know, even if Shun Niang Xu Zhang's family is considered to be a high climb, the purchase of dowry should also be done within one's means. Although Aunt Cui left a dowry, she didn't need money to go to school in the future, and she didn't need money to get married, so she didn't toss all the dowry to accompany Shunniang.
The only fortunate thing is that the Taoist idiot is still young, and there are still three or four years before he can say goodbye. Give him a good hand, and he will be able to save some family business before he gets married.
Saburo blushed and said, "I will never ask for it." Could it be that in Erlang's heart, my brother is a corrupt official? Which one wants you to worry about, you have to save some family business is serious. ”
If there is a crack in the ground, he wants to get into it.
Although the Taoist idiot and him are half-brothers, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, when the family is divided, the sons are equally divided. The idiot was passed to the cold door, barely survived, had a money-making livelihood, and still thought about their brothers and sisters, and didn't even pull down the babbling younger brother; When they were enjoying the fine clothes and food, why didn't they think about helping Dao idiots buy some industries earlier?
If it weren't for the imminent marriage of Shun Niang, the Taoist idiot thought of the dowry shop, and when he talked about this, he wouldn't have thought that he was negligent so much.
I used to just think that when I grew up, I would take good care of this younger brother, but I forgot that this younger brother was young and had begun to support the portal, and his life was hard. When he grows up and his younger brother is older, he didn't wait for charcoal in the snow, where is he still the icing on the cake?
Obviously, Rong Niang was also a little uneasy about this, not guilt or anything like that. I'm just worried that the idiot will have a bad life, and he will have a grudge against the twelve rooms.
For the sake of the Taoist idiot, the twelve rooms have been criticized a lot, and even a few of them are not spared. Later, because San Lang became friendly with the Taoist idiot, the rumors in the clan gradually decreased. If San Lang and the Taoist brother turn against each other, I don't know what others will say at that time. She will marry Jingzhong next year, and An Lu's ups and downs will not affect her, but there are too many criticisms, and it is not good for San Lang in the end.
The sister and brother expressed their positions again and again, and the Taoist idiot showed a little confusion and uneasiness on his face.
Rong Niang has already made a decision and said: "You have been in the mountains since you were a child, and you went to the palace a few days after going down the mountain, and your uncle and grandmother are very pure and high-minded, so you don't know what is going on outside." Silver is good, but it is also the source of evil. How many people turn against each other for money, and husbands and wives become enemies. Don't tempt people's hearts with money until they are forced to do so. When it comes to business matters, it is not easy to take back the dry stock and the like. You are still young now, and you will gradually understand these truths in the future, so listen to me first this time. As for the candidates for the shop, you don't have to worry about it, I'm idle these days. ”
The big bag is gone.
Dao idiot hurriedly showed a little embarrassment, and whispered: "Why do you bother the big sister like this." Big sister is not a ...... Should I be like Sister Shun Niang, embroidering a dowry at home? ”
Mentioning this, Rong Niang was down-to-earth and generous, not as shy as an ordinary daughter when she heard about her family, and said: "Those things have been prepared neatly." I'm just messing around now, enjoying leisure, and every day except teaching Gorou to speak, there is no serious business around, and I'm idle and moldy. Erlang don't want to be wordy anymore, am I not your own sister? If you want to be polite again, it's not interesting. ”
Having said this, the idiot can only solemnly thank you.
After talking about serious things, Rong Niang and San Lang did not sit down for a while, and got up to say goodbye. After all, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they have other things to do at home...... The carriage left the outer nine rooms, and San Lang bowed his head and said, "Big sister, I was negligent, I saw the dilemma on Erlang's side, but I didn't want to help." ”
Rong Niang said: "How can I help?" Even if you want to give silver, you have to be willing to do it. It's not that my father and mother haven't sent it, and my uncle and grandmother can't get by. It's not too late, Jiro hasn't used the silver yet. According to what I just said, several shops will be opened one after another, and the annual income is enough for Erlang to live comfortably. I look at Erlang's temperament, although he has an idea, he doesn't take the money to heart, and he is kind. ”
San Lang nodded and said: "Erlang treats people sincerely, I heard that Brother Qi once mentioned that he handled Aunt Cui's dowry almost the same, and pawned a few things given by the palace, and raised money to buy dozens of acres of makeup fields for Sister Shunniang. ”
Rong Niang was silent when she heard this. She really didn't expect that the Taoist idiot could do this for Shunniang.
As the only concubine of the Twelve Houses, her dowry was prepared many years ago, not to mention the side, only the farm is a thousand acres. For the twelfth house, such a dowry is nothing, and her parents are not unable to buy more for her, but they just don't want to be too eye-catching. More gold and silver will be given to her in other names.
Even if Shun Niang marries dozens of acres of land, it is nothing compared to her. But although there are not many things, they are purchased by Taoist idiots, and the weight may not be lighter than her dowry.
It's just a sibling over there, and the idiot can do this; What would happen if there was no replacement?
After half a ring, she sighed and said, "Uncle and grandmother are so blessed...... Father was really wrong......"
I also thought that although the idiot's homework was not as good as San Lang, he was diligent and willing to learn, and he passed the county exam and the government exam in one time. If this continues, most of the hospital exams next year will be fine. Thirteen-year-old Xiucai, even if he takes the township test and will try to study a few more subjects, there is nothing to be afraid of.
I don't know if my father regretted his sloppiness in his heart.
Now that my father has not recovered, even if outsiders have some gossip about his succession, it will not affect anything; After the recovery, let the political opponents know this shortcoming, and it will be another turmoil.
Before arriving at home, Rong Niang instructed San Lang to keep the matter of helping Erlang plan a pawnshop secret and not let his parents know.
Wang Qinghong acted with the high level of scholars, and he has never liked such a business as a pawnshop; Wang Yang's place, although his heart is soft, sometimes he has a hard mouth. If they knew that the two of them took the initiative to help their brother, they would definitely not agree.
San Lang said: "Big sister, don't worry, I'm not a long-tongued woman, where would I mention this?" It's the big sister, even if you're bored at home and want to take advantage of this to go out and relax, don't leave me behind. Only when I am with me, my mother will not ask more......"
The next day, the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Just in time for the sunny day, thousands of people in Anlu City saw a bright moon at night.
At ten o'clock in dusk, Shun Niang took Lamei to set up a sacrificial table in the courtyard.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to family reunions, there is also a moon worship ceremony, which is presided over by the female elders of the family or the housewife. According to custom, men do not worship the moon. Men often act as praisers or deacons in moon worship ceremonies.
The moon worship begins with the rising of the moon, because after a trip last year, the Taoist idiot is also familiar with the position of praiser.
The women in the family, except for the ancestors and grandchildren of Wang Ning's family, that is, Lamei and Yan's grandmother, came down one by one, and the entire moon worship ceremony was completed in only two quarters of an hour.
After worshipping the moon, everyone sat down again and enjoyed the moon and ate moon cakes.
The mooncake was filled with five kernels and rock sugar in it, obviously to satisfy the appetite of the tiger's head, and he ate three pieces with a smile. Wang Ning was afraid that he would accumulate food, so he moved the moon cake plate in front of him, and he stopped.
The Taoist idiot thought of Zhang Qinghe and said in a low voice: "Grandmother, when will Brother Zhang come back from Wuchang Mansion?" ”
Wang Ning calculated in his heart and said, "Today's examination room will be released, and the list will be released on the twenty-fifth." If you are on the list, you will have to worship the master of the house, the same year, and you will not come back until the beginning of next month...... If you don't go well in the exam, you will be almost able to get to the twenty-eighth and ninth grades. ”
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but feel a little worried. If Zhang Qinghe is on the list, the next marriage will be double happiness, and Shunniang will directly become a lady; If Zhang Qinghe fails the township test and is in a bad mood, will it affect the relationship between the young couple?
Seeing this, the Taoist idiot persuaded: "Grandmother is just too worried, I asked Seventh Brother to inquire." Several Confucians in the city have praised Brother Zhang's article. Brother Zhang's fate this time is a matter of accumulation, and most of them have passed. ”
Wang Ning said: "I just hope for good." ”
Rong Niang sat opposite the idiot, and couldn't really hear the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren, only hearing "Brother Zhang", "article" and the like, and couldn't help but blush.
She turned sideways and looked at the mooncake plate that had been moved to the side, and she couldn't bear it, but she didn't dare to let him eat more, so she took a tooth of watermelon to him...... After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the idiot waited for another day, and on August 17, he went to the palace
