Chapter 580: Value
After Mrs. Bian gave the thank-you gift, she did not ask to see Xie Yingrong, the benefactor who needed to be thanked, and left.
If it were someone else from the Bian family who came here, it was estimated that she would not be able to do it to this extent.
Before leaving, she also naturally mentioned her recent travel plan: spring is coming, the weather is getting warmer, but the city is still quite cold, Ning Guohou thinks that such an environment is not conducive to the recovery of the eldest grandson who is seriously ill, so he plans to wait for the marriage between Cheng Du and the Zuo family to be decided, he took the eldest son's family out of the city to live in his own Zhuangzi for a period of time, and also invited his in-law Bian's family to go with him.
As for his wife and second son's family, he stayed in Beijing to sit in the Hou Mansion and would not go along.
The day of their departure is not far away, and it is estimated that they will not be able to catch up with the day when the Xie brothers and sisters leave Beijing, and I am afraid that Miss Bian will not be able to come to see them off at that time, so Mrs. Bian will make compensation to her friends for her daughter first.
If Mrs. Bian really wanted to make amends to Xie Yingrong for this, she wouldn't have talked about it before leaving, and she wouldn't have taken the initiative to ask to see Xie Yingrong. Xie Mulin knew it, smiled and wished the other party a happy trip, and sent the person out of the door.
Then she went to Jin Xuantang with the gift slip in a subtle mood, but she didn't give the things directly to Xie Yingrong, but first handed over the hundred taels of gold to Aunt Da Jin.
Aunt Da Jin looked at the box full of golden ingots blankly, and her eyes were straight: "This is ...... Ning Guohou's thank you gift?! A hundred taels of gold?! ”
"Yes, it should be a thousand taels of silver." Xie Mulin told her very calmly, "Auntie, put it away first, on the one hand, it can make up for the losses you suffered when the third sister ran away last time, and on the other hand, because the third sister is not very good at financial management, it is safer to put this money here for you first." In the future, the third sister is going to get married, so you can consider using these things to buy her a dowry. ”
Aunt Dajin gasped and asked, "Is this ...... Is that really good? Now the family is not in a better situation than before, such a large sum of silver......"
Xie Mulin waved his hand: "This is earned by the third sister by herself, and Ning Guohou also made it clear that this gold is for the third sister to marry in the future, how can the family fight with her?" Auntie and put it away, but you need to be more careful, don't listen to the third sister's coaxing, just take out the gold ingot and give it to her, but it will be wasted. ”
Aunt Dajin looked solemn: "Second girl, don't worry, I will definitely collect this gold!" After a pause, she hesitated a little, "Second girl, Ning Guohou sent this gold to the third girl...... Add makeup, isn't it...... Isn't it ......"
She didn't dare to ask that sentence, but Xie Mulin still answered her: "Yes, people are very grateful to the third sister for offering a prescription to save Cheng Du, but Ning Guohou's Mansion still wants to marry the Zuo family, and they don't plan to consider the third sister, so Cheng Du's parents will do their best to buy a rich thank you gift, and Ning Guohou sent another hundred taels of gold to express his gratitude." If the third sister makes other requests, they will have the confidence to refuse. ”
Aunt Dajin has long known in her heart that her daughter's delusions about Cheng Du are impossible to realize, but one day she has no letters, and she still has a few extravagant hopes one day, and now that the extravagant hopes have finally been confirmed, it is just extravagant hopes, she has a feeling that the dust has settled in her heart, but her mood has also become very complicated, and she really doesn't know whether to cry or laugh: "This is ...... It's good that the third girl can die, and she can marry with peace of mind in the future...... I hope the old man won't be angry for too long and refuse to choose a good son-in-law for the third girl......"
Xie Mulin stretched out his hand to cover the box containing the gold ingots, and then turned to leave, leaving Aunt Dajin to continue in a daze by herself. She turned around and went to Xie Yingrong's room, told the other party Mrs. Bian's intention today, and presented the gift list again.
Xie Yingrong was stunned.
Xie Mulin didn't think much about her current mood, and pointed out her words: "Whether it's the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion or the Bian family, the meaning of the people is now very clear." They are very grateful that you took out the prescription to save Cheng Du, but they don't plan to sacrifice Cheng Du's marriage and future in order to repay the favor. The marriage between Cheng Du and Zuo Siyun has been decided, and it is impossible to change it. But you don't suffer a loss—look at the cart of gifts and the hundred taels of gold, you're making a lot of money, right? If it was when the Cao family was still in charge in the past, you might not be able to get so much dowry when you got married! So...... Don't be too greedy, otherwise you won't even be able to keep the friendship of the Bian family, and this year's toss will be all in vain! ”
She turned around to leave, but was stopped by Xie Yingrong: "Second sister, don't go!" You tell me clearly, Ning Guohou really ...... Don't you really want to change your mind?! ”
Xie Mulin looked back at her impatiently: "Why did people change their minds?" Is it just because you took out a prescription? But even if you don't send a prescription, Cheng Du won't die of illness, didn't the Zuo family also introduce a skilled old doctor to Ning Guohou and completely cure Cheng Du's illness? I won't ask you where that recipe came from. Different people may have the same disease in different lives, and they may need different prescriptions for diagnosis and treatment due to their physical condition and condition. The prescription tailored by the doctor according to Cheng Du's condition must be more useful than your prescription of unknown origin.
"The Marquis of Ningguo Mansion is still willing to remember your kindness and send you such a generous thank you gift, is it kind enough? Strictly speaking, you are not Cheng Du's life-saving benefactor at all, why should you ask others to promise each other and even care about the future future? ”
Xie Yingrong didn't seem to listen, she was very emotional: "Impossible! It doesn't make sense! Zuo Siyun can marry Cheng Du, why can't I?! My family background is better than Zuo Siyun! I'm so familiar with Cheng Du's family! I even saved his grandmother's life! I have done so much for the Bian family and Cheng Du, what am I worse than Zuo Siyun?! Why would the Marquis of Ning Guo rather marry the eldest grandson to the daughter of the imperial history than look at me, the daughter of a high-ranking official and eunuch family?! ”
Xie Mulin frowned and looked at her and said, "You should know that Cheng Du and his parents were suppressed by Mrs. Ning Guohou and Shizi's family at home, right?" Ning Guohou supported his marriage with the Zuo family because there were high-ranking officials in the Zuo family who could ignore the power of the Cao family and open up another way out for Cheng Du! Do you measure a person's family background only by the size of his official position? Didn't you think that you couldn't help Cheng Du at all, and there was no value in marriage to Ning Guohou?! ”
"What?" Xie Yingrong was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't turn his mind around. What does she need to help Cheng Du? What if Cheng Du was suppressed by the second room in the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion? After a few years, he became the confidant of the third prince, and soon became the first upstart under the new throne, so what Mrs. Ning Guohou and the second room of the Hou Mansion are all vulnerable! What else do you need her to help with? It's a big deal, she can provide the information she knew in her previous life to help Cheng Du gain the trust of the three princes earlier. Other than that, she doesn't have to do anything, does she? Just wait quietly for Cheng Dufei and Huang Tengda!
Xie Mulin watched Xie Yingrong's expression change, and he didn't want to talk to her anymore: "Okay, you just want to climb up to the prince of the Houmen, and then attach yourself to him to suck blood, and you haven't thought about doing anything for him at all." You are worthless to Cheng Du, and people don't like you, so why should they marry you? For the sake of a prescription, sending so many thank-you gifts is kind enough. You're almost done, don't be stubborn, you've really ruined your reputation, and it's hard to marry a decent partner in the future. Could it be that if you can't marry Cheng Du, you plan not to marry for the rest of your life?! ”
Xie Yingrong's face was grim. That's certainly impossible! It's just that...... gave up Cheng Du, where did she find such a good marriage partner? She was trapped in the inner house in her last life, and she had never heard of a few foreign men!
