Chapter 18: The Warm Feast of the Solid Eye

When the Ding'an Marquis Mansion was sealed in the Kai Dynasty, although the generation of the deceased Hou Ye came to an end, but after so many years, can a skinny camel be smaller than a horse?

The ancestors handed down the Zhuangzi, the shop, and the fields, even if it is not a hen that lays golden eggs, it can't be a gold-swallowing beast in turn, right?

Here, it's the rich Jiangnan Lin'an City!

It's not a place where birds don't poop, drought year after year, and harvest is not guaranteed.

The more Ann thought about it, the less it tasted.

In the second room, Old Madam Gui didn't see An Shi come in for a long time, and raised her voice: "What are you doing there in a daze?" ”

An Shi was excited, suppressed all his thoughts, and hurriedly walked inside.

"Did you mention the transfer to Saburo again? If you force him, isn't he the one who is forcing me? Old Madam Gui glanced at her daughter-in-law who came in.

Ahn choked up and didn't say anything.

Old Madam Gui said again: "If the old woman had a way to let San Lang be transferred back to Lin'an, she would have contributed a long time ago."

You also know that San Lang had decent results in the scientific examination that year, and he was either released to the nest, or he waited for several years without hope.

Thanks to Da Lang's way, he found a shortage in Mingzhou.

I was able to take office that year, and I was close to Lin'an. ”

"I know, the lord has been very attentive in office over the years, from experience to Tongzhi, and every year the evaluation is among the best in Mingzhou," An took the beauty to beat the old lady Gui, thought about it, and said what the old lady likes to hear, "Not only our lord, the second uncle is also very hard to be an official, and he has not lost anyone to the uncle over the years." ”

"Yes, I just didn't expect that Da Lang himself was strong...... Old Lady Gui wiped her face, "I thought that San Lang had good grades and had been honing in Mingzhou for many years, so I asked Da Lang to find a way to transfer him to Lin'an, you don't have to separate the husband and wife, and the old woman can have multiple sons in front of him, but it's a pity that Da Lang is ......

If you mention the matter of returning to Lin'an with San Lang, he is anxious, you are anxious, and I am anxious, and no one is in a hurry to come up with a result.

Don't worry, just wait another two years. ”

An's gritted his back molars and answered.

Obviously, what she wanted was to go to Mingzhou, and it was already an idea to let Wen Zilan return to Lin'an, but the old lady directly didn't have such a thing, and only said that she would return to Lin'an.

I can't have a hard top with Mrs. Gui, and An's is full of grievances, and he can only press it.

Before noon, a mother-in-law came to the longevity hall to report that Wen Kite had returned.

Wen Yuan is the eldest daughter of the An family, the eldest sister in this generation.

Two months ago, Wen Yuan left the cabinet and married an official in Lin'an Mansion.

Because Wen Zilan returned to Lin'an on vacation, Wen Yuan came to greet his father today.

Wen Kite entered the house and stepped forward to salute.

"Come and tell grandmother to take a look," Mrs. Gui beckoned, "It looks like you've lost some weight, and you still get along well with your mother-in-law?" ”

Asked yes, but the old lady didn't give Wen Yuan a chance to speak.

"It's no wonder that the old woman doesn't have the ability to find a good family for you, his family is not as good as ours, if there is something unsatisfactory, Sister Kite and endure it," Mrs. Gui said, "It is said that the daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law, and they all come over like this." ”

Wen Yuan subconsciously glanced at An Shi, and his mouth was obedient.

An's face turned white, and these words were clearly said to her.

In Xiyuan, Wen Yan was playing with Ebony.

Knowing that Wen Kite was back, she had no choice but to let go of the cat, wash her hands and go to the third room.

She is very strange to her eldest sister, but she is orderly and orderly, and if she is lazy when she should greet her, she does not conform to the image of "well-behaved and obedient" she created in the house.

This image is so easy to use, she can't lose it yet.

The three-room Changyuan is very close to the Longevity Hall, and when Wen Yuan entered, Wen Yuan was talking to An's family.

An Shi saw Wen Yan and smiled: "You sisters will talk for a while, and I will go to the old lady." ”

Wen Yuan invited her sister to sit down and took a closer look.

Their sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, and when she left the cabinet, her grandmother said that she didn't take her back because she was in the middle of the filial piety period.

Wen Yuan is not familiar with Wen Yan, there is no difference between having one more sister and one less sister, and he was not entangled at that time, but when he sees him again, his heart is a little complicated.

Because of the "silver".

If you count it as a Houfu girl, Wen Kite's dowry is not rich.

At that time, Cao's and An's calculated an account, saying that they had paid a lot of money for the long house last year, and it was not enough.

Wen Kite was aggrieved, and when she was in a low mood, she would blame Wen Yan and Wen Zhang, but reason told her that she didn't blame them.

are all from their own family, and they can't write two warm words in one stroke.

The ability of the house is limited, and it can't save the eldest uncle and aunt, but since it can save the younger brother and sister, it is natural that he should go all out.

If you don't save it, you will be ashamed and will be poked in the back.

However, just now Wen Kite heard the truth from her mother.

Only half of the family's silver is guaranteed!

If there is no money for the two of them, it is reasonable, but only half of the silver is paid......

The second room pinched the money up and down the family, and cried poor again and again with them in the third room!

Her dowry was reduced and reduced, and she refused to take out the money she needed for her father's transfer!

The more Wen Yuan thought about it, the more angry she became, pressed the teacup, and said, "Third sister, eldest sister has the cheekiness to ask you, can you come out of Beijing, is it really the way of the family?" ”

"It's not." Wen Yan said.

Wen Yuan asked again: "For so many years, your long house has been in Beijing, and the cost is not small, right?" ”

Wen Yan took a sip of tea and chuckled: "The eldest sister heard about the third uncle and mother borrowing money from the second uncle today."

You're so straightforward, there's nothing I can't tell the truth.

The cost of Beijing is greater than that of Lin'an, but the courtyard is not as spacious as here, so it doesn't need much manpower.

I read for the princess, I have silver every month, and I have a lot of money for the New Year's holidays.

My father has a lot of silver, and my mother has married a lot of Zhuangzi shops, and in addition to chewing it for herself, it is said that many of them are sent back to Lin'an every year to support my grandmother and support my relatives.

In our room, we didn't take the money from the public to clear the checkpoints.

My grandfather was a grandfather, and my father didn't dare to do that.

If you have done it, when you are in trouble last year, all kinds of crimes that can be set up have been set, will there be less bribery?

Although I don't know where the money went in Gongzhong, it wasn't spent in our long house. ”

Wen Kite bit her lower lip.

The eldest uncle's crime was not bribery.

That's the best proof of this.

The long house didn't take the silver to open the way, and it was just that to save people.

What does this mean.

Either it's a loser in the second room, or it's a second room that doesn't come out!

Wen Yuan said: "My mother can't take care of public affairs, the accounts are all in the hands of the second aunt, and my grandmother looks at it every month. ”

Old Madam Gui has never been angry with the Cao family because of the silver, obviously on the same boat.

Buckle, it was the old lady who nodded; The loser, it was also the old lady who nodded.

In a word, Mrs. Gui is eccentric to the second room.

After Wen Yuan finished speaking, seeing that Wen Yan was not filled with righteous indignation, he couldn't help but sigh: "Don't be too long-winded with the eldest sister."

I hadn't thought about silver before, and I didn't know it was important until I got married.

Your parents are gone, even if you don't think about yourself, think about Brother Zhang.

Brother Zhang'er wants silver to study, examiner, and marry a daughter-in-law. ”

Wen Yan bent his eyes.

She had never been struggling with money in her previous life.

No matter how much money is spent in the second room, the Ding'an Hou Mansion is not short of her and Wen Zhang's food and clothing, it is not luxurious, but it is not embarrassing.

Wait for her to marry Huo Yixiao......

It's hard to be short of silver.

If you directly tell Wen Yuan that she will not be a person who lacks money in the future, although it is the truth, it is too eye-catching.

Wen Yan lived up to Wen Kite's kindness, and smiled sweetly: "Eldest sister thinks about me, I know." ”

Wen Yuan saw her smile so innocently, and her heart sank.

The old lady is eccentric, and the Cao family can only enter and exit, Wen Yan is so solid-eyed, I am afraid that I will be eaten to the skin!
