Old Madam Gui's spirit really looked very tired.

Wen Zifu felt sorry for his old mother and wanted to persuade him again, but he was kicked under the table by Cao.

He didn't understand for a moment, and turned his head to look at his wife with wide eyes.

Cao pretended to be nothing, and scolded her husband for not having an eye in her heart.

After that, it was the stage of the old lady Gui, and the old lady was bent on making a good play, but this stupid son tried to replace him here.

Can the old lady really feel extremely uncomfortable?

If there is a condition in her body, Mrs. Gui is more anxious to ask for a doctor than anyone else, and she will still talk to a group of them here about Chen Sesame and rotten grain?

Wen Zilan was also very concerned about the old lady's condition, and when he saw that Wen Zifu did not insist on persuasion, he shut up.

Old Madam Gui finally gained control of the stage, and said: "When I entered the door, the cash available in the house was worse than now.

That's what my mother-in-law, the grandmother of your two brothers, told me.

Our ancestors in our house do have some family backgrounds, but they are defeated.

It has been almost seventy years since the defeat began at the end of Yongning.

At that time, the capital had not yet been moved, Lin'an was still at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there were many people in the Gonghou Bofu and the hairpin family, and there were many people.

We have one in Ding'an Houfu, the elders in the family are petted, the brothers are indulgent, fighting cocks and crickets outside, and they have never done anything important, and they are all expensive things. ”

Old Madam Gui paused when she said this, looked at everyone around, and smiled bitterly: "Doesn't it sound like nothing?"

It's just chickens and crickets, and now there are many people playing with them, and it doesn't cost so much money.

But they played too hard!

A cricket of a few hundred taels can't be taken out, and if it is raised well, there are thousands or even tens of thousands.

Everyone in the family spoils him, now the old lady pays a hundred taels from the account, Uncle Ming'er pays another hundred taels from the account, you also support me, and the whole payment goes to the loser, and they all hide it from each other.

The person in charge of the accounts is also confused, whoever asks for money will give it, so for three years, a lot of money has been smashed in. ”

Wen Yan listened and muttered: "It's more powerful than Ji Jiu......"

"It's so much better!" Someone agreed, and Mrs. Gui became even more energetic, "So in the past, the old woman didn't think that the kid of the Ji family was too spoiled, but it was really difficult to explain one of our ancestors!" ”

Wen Yan: "What happened later?" Three years later, I found out that something was wrong, and I didn't think of a way? ”

"I think about it," Old Madam Gui shook her head, "I have no talent for making money, and I am also unlucky."

Originally, I lost a lot of money in those three years, but it was far from the time when I hurt my muscles and bones and damaged my vitality, and the income was also there, and I could get better after a few years.

As a result, he was anxious to turn over, fainted, and was fooled by the other two Guogong mansions to invest money and make a flower boat on Xizi Lake.

Not only the children of the family, but also His Royal Highnesses are not missing.

One night, more than a dozen people fell into the lake after eating and drunk, and they all fished up, and the Nine Highnesses from the Middle Palace were out of breath.

The emperor was furious, everyone present that day was unlucky, and the three families who paid for the flower boat did not escape, and finally almost hollowed out the family so that no children were beheaded and died.

That really hurt the foundation, in order to save his life, he sold a lot of ancestral property, fined and reduced his salary, and the next generation was not as good as the generation.

I wanted to make some solid business, but I didn't do it.

At that time, Lin'an City was even more drunk than now.

After the first emperor ascended the throne, he really couldn't get used to seeing the children of the family so unmotivated, so he insisted on moving the capital. ”

Wen Zilan frowned when he heard this: "Why haven't you heard anyone mention it?" During the Yongning period, it was not so far away. ”

"Who dares to mention it? Is that just a matter of frustration? There are also princes in it! Old Madam Gui asked rhetorically, "The investigation is not clean, and since then, all those who were implicated that day have fallen out of favor in front of the emperor."

The first emperor moved the capital, did not follow the north, and stayed in Lin'an, which has more or less to do with the events of that year. ”

Wen Yan understood.

In the later years of Emperor Yongning, the Nine Emperors fell into the water and died.

The Ding'an Hou Mansion only ran a flower boat, and it did not involve the prince's battle, so it spent money to protect its own family.

The first emperor ascended the throne and benefited from the death of the Nine Emperor Princes, none of them knew whether the first emperor participated in the plan, or just looked down on the life of the children of the family, in short, he ignored the opposition, excluded the public opinion, and finally moved the capital.

"What your grandmother received was a mess," said Mrs. Gui, "The first emperor has just ascended the throne for a few years, and the mansion has been slumped due to self-preservation in the past few years, and she is not a capable person who can take care of the middle feed, so she can barely support it."

The old woman married in, and she quickly handed over all the feeds to me.

When I was in my mother's house, I only learned a little, and I had some foundation, but I couldn't talk about being proficient, so I had to learn by myself for the sake of my family.

Who else can I ask about this? The mother-in-law who knows can't help, how dare outsiders let outsiders know the situation in the house? All faces!

has suffered and suffered, the old woman has survived, and it has improved in a few years, and the first emperor is going to move the capital!

We can only stay, saying that it is the last generation and not tossing, but in fact, there is no silver to toss.

So many princesses and uncles have piled up in the north to buy mansions, and the price of land has risen, how can we have the money to buy a 'Hou Mansion'?

The old woman just wants to support the existing family business and maintain the last dignity of the Ding'an Hou Mansion.

My mother-in-law asked me so much that day, and I also asked my daughter-in-law to do the same.

If it is stable for a few more years, no matter what, on the day the old woman dies, the Hou Mansion will no longer be there, and the decency will be put aside.

Originally, it was already able to pass smoothly and steadily, but it didn't work out, Dalang had an accident, hey! ”

Old Madam Gui let out a long sigh, wiped her face, and held Wen Yan's hand again: "It's good to bring Sister Yan and Brother Zhang back, otherwise the old woman will be ...... in her heart."

Cao was afraid that the old lady would become more and more energetic, so he hurriedly said: "It's really not easy for you, if you don't say those things about your ancestors, the third uncle doesn't know, and if you say it, there will be no misunderstanding." ”

"I don't have the face to say, you are a housekeeper, and the old woman will not hide it from your husband and wife," Mrs. Gui said, "Da Lang and San Lang don't know, tell them that there is no money in the family, the ancestors are fighting cocks and crickets, and the whole flower boat, His Royal Highness died on the ship, and he was almost involved in the battle for the throne, only lost his money and didn't lose his life or we were lucky, the old woman didn't want to say this, lost the dead!" ”

Wen Ziliang listened to the ins and outs, and was also busy comforting Mrs. Gui.

Even though the old lady treats An's badly and prevents An's from going to Mingzhou, she can't blame her for the silver matter, and it's not that she acquiesces to the second room's private appropriation.

One thing is one thing, Wen Ziliang can't say that the old lady doesn't have to pay for it.

Cao Shi echoed two sentences, but thought in his heart, the old lady is really aggrieved, her housekeeping level is far inferior to herself, otherwise, with the old lady's temperament, she would have handed over the middle feed twelve years ago? You must hold on to your body until you can't bear it before you give it.

It's just that the more you manage the family, the less money you have, and I feel that my daughter-in-law still has some ability, so I quickly change it to make money.

Thinking about it, the Cao family will not expose Mrs. Gui's grievances.

Wen Yan, like the Cao family, was also afraid of the old lady's endless complaints.

"Grandmother," Wen Yan said softly, "but we don't have the money to buy the 'Hou Mansion' now." ”

Old Madam Gui pursed her lips.

This girl really can't open a pot!

Before she finished her suffering, she was pulled by Wen Yan and had to face the problem.
