Chapter 32: The Little Rich Woman
Hearing that the sixth sister was frightened, the four young ladies all rushed to visit. Jiang Liu'er couldn't stop smiling when she saw her fifth sister Jiang Mujin, and she knew that this seven-year-old young lady was happy because she had escaped half a day of needlework.
Seeing that Jiang Liu was fine, the little sisters sat down and talked for a while about how hateful the mice were, how cute the kittens were, and then happily dispersed.
After only herself and her sister were left in the room, Jiang Muyan immediately got under the bed.
Jiang Liu didn't hear the movement of the slate, so he saw his sister take out a half-foot square wooden box. There was no decoration on this box, and the red lacquer looked a little old, which was very different from the money box full of gems in Jiang Liu's imagination.
After lowering the bed curtain, Jiang Muyan hid on the bed with her sister, opened the box with the key hanging around her neck, and patted her little chest after checking the things inside, "It's all still there, great!" β
Seeing that her sister was looking at her curiously, Jiang Muyan put out the things inside to show her sister like a treasure, "This is my mother's favorite bracelet, one for each of us; This is the title deed of two shops, when we get married, one for each person, my sister will pick first; This is the title deed of Liujiazhuang, left to my sister; This is the deed of sale of the servants who dowry, the nurse's, Wang Tian's family of four, the two stewards of Liujiazhuang and the subordinates; This is a thousand taels of silver tickets, and each of us has five hundred taels; It's a bag of broken silver to buy candy for my sister to eat......"
"My mother said, no one can give these things, they are all ours, buy sugar, pen and ink, and clothes." At this time, Jiang Muyan's eyes were bright and excited, which was very different from the usual little nerd.
After Jiang Liu listened, the first thing he did was to burrow his little head out of the curtain of the bed to see if the windows and doors were closed, and then reach under the bed to see if there were any big rats below.
When she looked under the bed, she realized where her sister's money box had come fromβthere was a hidden compartment under the head of the bed, which could not be seen from the bedside table, and had to be opened from the bottom.
Fortunately, Fangcai's big mouse didn't know, otherwise she and her sister's entire net worth would be gone.
From a down-and-out little girl who lacks sugar and meat, to a little rich woman with land, shops, and silver tickets, Jiang Liu was in a trance and just wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help but feel excited.
What's more, isn't she just happy and sad when she just got a large investment to be developed, this kind of tragedy must not happen again! This time we must be calm, calm, and calm again; Careful, careful, careful.
After calming down, Jiang Liu felt that something was wrong. Why didn't her mother entrust this box to her grandmother or someone else to take care of, but directly handed it over to the young lady? Could it be that no one is reliable in her opinion?
Jiang Liu asked, "Sister, who knows the way of the land-deed, land-deed-and-sale-deed-in-you-this-in-the-thing?" β
"Only grandma knows, and everyone else thinks it's grandma's." Jiang Muyan whispered.
Jiang Liu was a little relieved, "Grandma-mother-in-law-didn't say-help-we-receive-?" β
Jiang Muyan shook her head, "Grandma taught me to hide the box in my sister's place, this bed is my mother's dowry, and grandma knows where to bury things." β
Jiang Liu's favorability towards his grandmother has improved a lot, but fortunately, her sister said "bury" instead of "hide" in the morning, otherwise the daughter-in-law of the Tian family would not have secretly knocked on the stone slab on the ground under the bed, but tossed around.
No matter how hidden the dark grid is, it will be found.
Seeing that her sister was about to put her things back in the box, Jiang Liu raised her hand and pressed her little hand, "Sister." β
Jiang Muyan raised her eyes, "What's wrong?" Are you going to buy candy now? β
Jiang Liu shook his head, "Tian-daughter-in-law-wife-eaves-heard-arrived-." β
Jiang Muyan's little face showed a distressed expression, "Well, I can't bury it under the bed anymore, where should I hide it?" β
My sister is still young, and I can't think of many problems. Jiang Liu simply reminded him to understand a little more, "Father-interrogation-questioning-Tian-daughter-in-law, she will speak." β
Jiang Muyan hugged the money box tightly, as if she was facing a great enemy, "I can't let my father know, he will snatch it away and give it to Jiang Ling!" Let's go to grandma's house and let grandma help us hide! β
It's good that her father isn't here, otherwise Jun's face would be crooked. Jiang Liu held the hand of the young lady who wanted to open the curtain, and asked word by word, "Mother-for-why-hand-to-sister-sister?" β
"My mother said that I grew up, read a lot of books, and was very smart and sensible, so I took these and gave them to no one." After Jiang Muyan finished speaking, she repeated again, "No one can give ......"
Jiang Liu nodded, "Who-no-give." "So, my grandmother didn't make it either.
When her mother died, she didn't give it to her grandmother, maybe it wasn't because she didn't worry about her own mother, but because she didn't worry about the two sisters-in-law at home.
Jiang Muyan discussed with her sister, "Hide again?" But my father asked what to do. β
Nine-year-old Jiang Muyan unknowingly began to rely on her six-year-old sister.
"Divide-open, box-sub-lin-in-only-stay-down-bracelet-sub-and-silver-sub. Other-...... First-hidden-in-it-belly-sub-. β
Jiang Liu had caught a cloth tiger about the size of a money box, but the most obvious thing would not attract attention, this cloth tiger had been placed on her bed, and no one would have thought that there was something here.
Jiang Muyan, who had no idea, immediately nodded, took the needlework dustpan, used scissors to cut the stitches on the belly of the cloth tiger, stuffed all the bills into it and sewed it up. After hiding the things, Jiang Muyan became more steady, raised her head and smiled at her sister, "My sister has also become smarter, and if she reads more, she will definitely be smarter!" β
The young lady likes to read so much, so she is smart. Jiang Liu looked at the tenth-level needlework player in front of him, and said with a smile, "Sister-sister-also-yes." β
Reading makes people wise and progressive, but only if they read good books. Jiang Liu didn't know what a good book was in this era, and when she found it, she would definitely read it with her sister, and crush the messy thoughts and rules that others stuffed into her head!
She wants her little sister to live happily in this life!
"Third girl, sixth girl, the old lady asked you to go to the North Courtyard." Zhao Qingling knocked on the door and shouted outside the door.
Hearing that she was going to see her grandmother, Jiang Muyan's face immediately turned into her usual appearance. Jiang Liu put the little cloth tiger at the head of the bed and stuffed the money box into her arms, "Sister, go." β
Jiang Muyan nodded, opened the bed curtain, put on her shoes first and then put on her sister's shoes, and pulled her out of the house slowly.
Outside the door, there is not only Zhao Qingling, but also Wang Xiangzhi, who is anxious and white-faced, and Jingxiu, the big girl in the North Courtyard. Jingxiu turned a blind eye to the box in the arms of the third girl, curtsied and smiled, "It's almost time to eat, the old lady asked the slave maid to invite the two girls over to use it together." β
The rule of the Jiang family is to use breakfast together, lunch and dinner separately. Calling them to dinner now is probably for Wang Tian's daughter-in-law's business.
Jiang Muyan nodded, and Zhao Qingling stepped forward, "The slave and maid hold the sixth girl, so as not to make the old lady wait for a long time." β
Jiang Muyan let go of her sister's hand, and after Zhao Qingling picked her up, she whispered in Jiang Liu's ear, "The old lady already knows about Wang Tian's daughter-in-law, and when the old lady asks later, the girl will tell the truth, don't be afraid." β
Jiang Liu nodded, "Dad? β
"Haven't come back yet."
Jiang Liu......
