Chapter 19: Who Is the Gold Eater?
While the two were talking, Wen Hui and Wen Jing came together.
Wen Yuan listened to the maid's words, a trace of unwillingness flashed on her face, and she quickly pressed back.
Compared with Wen Yan, who lives in Beijing, Wen Kite and the second room sisters have grown up together since childhood.
They are of the same age and get along a lot.
There is no difference between the level of food and clothing on weekdays.
The housekeeper's second aunt did a bad job at this point, and her sister-in-law, concubine, and niece in the next room had a bowl of water.
Wen Yuan was angry that the Cao family "only went in but couldn't leave", and those silver coins didn't fall on her sisters, how could she be angry with them.
The little maid served a snack.
Wen Hui was outgoing, pulled Wen Yuan to tell her about the grievances she had a while ago, and said, "I heard that they had a fight with their own family, I am really happy!" I don't have the ability, I bow my head, but the wicked have their own harvest! β
Wen Yuan smiled and said, "It's good if you can figure it out, half a year ago you were still saying that the season was good." β
Hearing this, Wen Hui's face turned red and she glanced at Wen Yan.
What was half a year ago, she still wanted to marry Ji Yan half a month ago!
Wen Yan returned home, so that she could see through the ghost appearance of Shunping Bofu thoroughly.
"It's because I was blind before, not only was I ashamed, but my grandmother also told me to be tired......," Wen Hui said.
"It's okay not to be blind in the future," Wen Yuan said, "It's much better than seeing through it after getting married." β
Wen Jing was sipping melon seeds, hearing some meaning from these words, she subconsciously raised her head, Wen Hui was wide-hearted, Wen Yan seemed to be thinking about something else, no one tasted the taste, her doubts turned in her throat, and there was no exit.
Wen Yan's mind was on the silver.
An's and Wen Yuan's mother and daughter couldn't tell whether Cao's was deliberately crying poor or really had no money, but Wen Yan knew that Gongzhong was not rich.
The long room and the third room have not spent money indiscriminately, and only the second room has gone out with a lot of money.
Don't look at the Cao family's accounting, with the old lady Gui in charge, it is impossible to sit back and watch her daughter-in-law lose, and the Cao family has not hidden the old lady's ability.
can make Mrs. Gui willing to pay the money out......
is either the second uncle Wen Zifu or the eldest brother Wen Ci.
It's just that, let Wen Yan look at it, whether it's the second uncle or the eldest brother, none of them look like gold-swallowing beasts.
In her previous life, after she married into Beijing, she didn't have enough gold-swallowing beasts on her two hands, even if some people were not jewels on the surface, but the momentum of spending money like flowing water was much the same.
In her eyes, no one in the Ding'an Hou Mansion is a gentleman.
Whereso, what about the silver?
Could it be that the Hou Mansion has been passed down for so many years, and when it was handed over to his grandmother and second uncle, it was already "broken"?
In the previous life, it was not easy to survive until after the death of my grandmother.
The warm kite returned before sunset.
Ahn sent her daughter off and returned to the Longevity Hall.
Old Madam Gui glanced at her and said, "Do you have to be?"
Sister Kite is married in the city, you can always come back once in a month, if you follow San Lang to Mingzhou, your body bones can not withstand the months and months, and then you will not see your daughter for several months, and you will not miss you!
Okay, cheer up, send your daughter to a fluttering heart, and Gai Ming'er to send San Lang is also a lost soul, do you want to make him feel at ease this month?
Dinner at my place tonight, look at the time, it's time to come one after another, you arrange the arrangement. β
An Shi hurriedly said: "The old lady said yes, I'll go now." β
A large round table was erected in the hall.
Everyone sat down, and Mrs. Gui said a few words like "home and everything is prosperous" before letting the chopsticks move.
Cao Shi can best understand the old lady's mind.
The old lady pays attention to a "prosperity", and the younger generations are all around her, showing that she is blessed and loved.
Cao said: "Sister Yan and Brother Zhang have also adapted to the taste of the family, I remember that when I first came back last year, the two children were not used to eating. β
Old Madam Gui squinted her eyes and said, "One south and one north, the difference is big and inevitable."
Erlang's daughter-in-law reminded the old woman that she would go to a restaurant in the city to cook Beijing cuisine and buy them a few favorite dishes back.
Although I am used to the smell of home, I will still panic. β
Wen Yan smiled.
Whether it is a big banquet in the palace or a family banquet, the inside is almost the same, the difference is that the former can't eat at all, and the latter can eat half the time.
Wen Yan is experienced, and immediately Chong Gui Old Lady said: "Grandmother don't say, I'm not hungry, you mention it, I really want to eat it." β
Old Madam Gui tapped Wen Yan with her fingertips: "Naughty little glutton!" β
"I'm completely unfamiliar with Lin'an City," Wen Yan's heart moved, and he looked at Wen Zifu, "Uncle, you move around a lot, which restaurant in the city has authentic Beijing cuisine?" You can take me and Brother Zhang to try it, okay? β
Whether it is a gold-swallowing beast or not, seeing is believing.
Take a look, in case she gets out of sight.
Wen Zifu opened his mouth to respond.
Old Mrs. Gui said: "He is busy with the yamen, and it would be good to be able to go back to the house on time for dinner on weekdays, so let Brother Ci take you there another day, brothers and sisters will go, and the old woman will pay for it." β
Wen Hui snorted lightly, very excited: "Grandmother, I still want to eat Dingsheng cake." β
"Go buy it, buy it!" Old Madam Gui said.
Wen Zifu then said: "Why don't you all go and enjoy the autumn scenery?"
During the day, I also heard from Li Zhifu that two days ago, his old father and mother went to Tianzhu to incense, and the scenery along the way was excellent, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful.
My mother hasn't been to the temple for a few days, so take a trip while it's still cold? β
When Mrs. Gui heard this, she became interested: "I haven't taken Sister Yan and Brother Zhang out yet, so it's decided." β
During the banquet, the atmosphere was kind.
Wen Zifu and his younger brother drank half a pot of wine, and the two of them ate and dispersed the wine in the garden before they went back.
Cao Shi took a handkerchief and gave Wen Zifu a clean face.
"The third brother just told me about the transfer again," Wen Zifu wiped his face and said, "Where is it that I deliberately didn't help, I myself am often angry in the yamen now." β
Cao Shi replied casually: "Isn't it that the old lady doesn't let the third brother and sister go to Mingzhou!" β
"That's because my mother can't do without my third brother and sister," Wen Zifu said, "My mother is the most generous and loving, and she is in harmony with her third brother and sister-in-law, and the third brother is like a mother bullying his daughter-in-law." β
Cao Shi was sipping tea, and when he heard the words, he chimed in with a sentence, and rolled his eyes in his heart.
Although she had not seen the scene of the old lady's mistreatment of the An clan with her own eyes, it was absolutely impossible for her to be really harmonious.
An's fear of the old lady's occasional exposure was not a lie.
The Cao family does not fight with Wen Zifu, making men believe that the mother-in-law with a good face will be harsh on her daughter-in-law, which is more tiring than when she goes out to talk to a group of officials and wives.
Yes.
This naΓ―ve man thought that his wife and concubine were sisters.
Hmph, joke!
Looking at it this way, she actually acts quite like that?
Although it is not as good as Wen Yan and Mama Huang.
She had to find time to learn from them.
