Chapter 579: Hints
One hundred taels of gold, according to the current market price, is one thousand taels of silver.
Xie Yingrong just took out a prescription that came from nowhere, and exchanged it for thousands of taels of silver, not to mention that there was still a carriage of things, no matter how you look at it, this thank you gift is rich enough, it can be said that it is a little too rich. However, it is about Cheng Du's life, his elders think that the lives of their children are worth so much wealth, so they are willing to do everything to thank them, which is also the freedom of others. Anyway, Xie Yingrong will definitely not suffer a loss in this wave.
Although Xie Yingrong himself may not want such a thank-you gift...... Because of the generous thank you gift, she is not qualified to make other excessive demands, and it is even more of a dream to want Cheng Du to make a promise or something!
Xie Mulin didn't know if the Cheng family sent such a thank you gift, whether it was also implying that they would not reward Xie Yingrong more, telling her to die for Cheng Du, but she was still happy that Xie Yingrong thought so. If there is no hope, she should die early, otherwise it will be too ugly to think about stalking or something all day long!
Xie Mulin thought so in his heart, and he still had to refuse: "Your aunt's wife is too polite, her sister just knew that there was a prescription, and the effect was not bad, so she wanted to give it to the house to try, and she didn't expect to get any thank-you gifts by relying on the prescription." Now that your young master is safe and sound, Mrs. Bian can regain her joy, and the sister knows it, she will be satisfied. She has been talking about Mrs. Bian's care for her, as well as Miss Bian's kindness and friendliness, she is willing to do something for the house. If the house wants to mention any thanksgiving and not thanks, it will be too angry. ”
Mrs. Bian hurriedly said: "No, no, no, this is a piece of our aunt's and aunt's heart, and please don't refuse, otherwise it will be too shallow to dislike the thank you......" She paused, as if she realized that her words were a little excessive, and immediately smiled again, "Don't hide it from the second girl, our aunt is very happy to see that the child is in good condition, no matter what, we must thank the third girl in the house for sending the prescription, otherwise her child will not know how to suffer for a few more days!" If she hadn't been able to take out these thank-you gifts, she would have wanted to give more gifts to the three girls! If the government refuses, how can she feel at ease? ”
Therefore, in order to make Grandma Cheng feel at ease, the Xie family must accept this thank you gift, right?
Xie Mulin tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with a dry smile: "Since you have said so, I will be cheeky to accept the gift on behalf of my sister, but the hundred taels of gold, please take it back." The sister really can't afford it, when she borrowed it in the house, she didn't have to take care of the master's family, but it was just a prescription, what could it be worth? Where is her friendship with the house? She can accept the thank you gift with shame, but the gold is really too much. ”
Mrs. Bian lowered her head and smiled: "This is Ning Guohou's order, we are juniors, our status is low, how dare we disobey the order?" Miss Xie Er should not refuse, this is also Ning Guohou's special care and compassion for his benefactor. I'm not afraid that you will be angry, because of the good relationship with the three girls in the house, our family has also heard about the things in the house. The three girls are certainly cared for at home, but her identity is there, and now the Xie family's family background is not the same as before, when the three girls marry in the future, I am afraid that there will not be much rich dowry, and when they arrive at their husband's house, they may have to suffer some grievances. Although one hundred taels of gold is not much, you can also make a box of silver for the third girl, and it should be Ning Guohou who added makeup to the third girl. The third girl is such a kind-hearted girl, if she has a happy marriage, everything should go smoothly in the future. ”
That's pretty much explicit, isn't it? Xie Mulin guessed that Mrs. Bian's words were no different from saying that Xie Yingrong would not marry Cheng Du, but would only marry other men.
She smiled, thinking that if she didn't accept the gold for Xie Yingrong, would the Bian family and Cheng Du's parents worry that Xie Yingrong would repay the favor? Sure enough, it's better to accept it.
She smiled at Mrs. Bian and said, "Since you have said so, I have no choice but to be cheeky and accept all this gold for my third sister." In the future, the housekeeper will send a letter to the house to report the good news. ”
Mrs. Bian was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Of course, no matter how far away it is, our family will definitely go to congratulate Miss Xie San if they get the letter!" ”
Xie Mulin accepted the gift list, put it on the coffee table casually, and began to have a family conversation with Mrs. Bian. This is also to prevent the other party from having time to propose to see Xie Yingrong, so that Xie Yingrong will come out and make trouble in front of others.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bian felt the same way, and she didn't mean to meet Xie Yingrong, but during the chat, she revealed some news intentionally or unintentionally, such as that after Cheng Du recovered from his illness, he had decided to take the imperial examination. In fact, he participated in the county examination and the government examination in his early years, but he didn't have time to take the hospital examination, and he was delayed by the matter - it is said that his grandmother was sick, needless to say that it was the ghost of Mrs. Ning Guohou - at that time, he only won the Tongsheng exam, but he failed to strive for the fame of Xiucai, and then he always encountered all kinds of unlucky things, and his heart for fame was a little light, but this year he had to change his mind and go down again, striving to win fame as soon as possible.
The reason is very simple, Cheng Du is discussing marriage with a young lady from a scholarly family, if he has no fame, he is afraid that he will not have the face to marry someone. Relying on the identity of the eldest grandson of the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion alone is not enough to match the famous lady!
Xie Mulin listened with a smile, knowing that the marriage between Cheng Du and Zuo Siyun was mostly a certainty, otherwise Mrs. Bian would not have used this way to tactfully inform the Xie family, hinting that Xie Yingrong was out of play, and persuaded her to die as soon as possible. Xie Yingrong also offered a prescription no matter what she said, and saved Cheng Du's life, whether it was Cheng Du's parents or the Bian family, they didn't want to go too far, and wanted to save some face for her.
However, Ning Guohou is quite persistent about the family affairs of the Zuo family. Zuo Siyun's father is just an imperial historian with a low official position, but her uncle is Dali Siqing, and he is the emperor's confidant, which seems to be quite attractive to Ning Guohou, right?
It has been a long time since the Marquis of Ningguo lost its real power, and only the scenery of an empty title remains. Why can Mrs. Ning Guohou and her son go against Ning Guohou and continue to suppress the elder line? Isn't it because her biological daughter is Mrs. Ping Nanbo of the Cao family, and there is a concubine who favors her, and she gave birth to a son and married the daughter of the second room of the Cao family? Even if the Pingnan Bofu is now in ruins, just relying on the fact that her grandson Jiang Shaoliang is the second son-in-law of the Cao family, Mrs. Ning Guohou also has the confidence to work against her husband.
No wonder Marquis Ning was so eager to marry the daughter of the Zuo family for his eldest grandson. No matter how powerful the Cao family is, they also need to see the emperor's face. And Zuo Zhaozhi happens to be the emperor's henchman, so he doesn't have to look at the Cao family's face. Once he became an in-law with the Zuo family, Ning Guohou and his eldest son were in the same vein, and they had the confidence to confront Mrs. Ning Guohou's mother and son.
When Xie Mulin wanted to understand this, he knew that Xie Yingrong had no hope from beginning to end. The marriage of Cheng Zuo's two families is not only a relationship between Cheng Du and Zuo Siyun, but also related to the future interests of Ning Guohou, his eldest son and grandson, and the Bian family. Why did Xie Yingrong let them look at her differently? Although she is the daughter of a third-grade high-ranking official, these third-grade high-ranking officials are powerless to compete with the Cao family, and they are all forced to leave Beijing! This has nothing to do with the concubine at all. From the moment the Cao family hacked the Xie family, it was impossible for Xie Yingrong to marry Cheng Du.
Xie Mulin looked at Mrs. Bian and showed a sweet smile: "I don't know when the good days of the young master of the mansion are?" Our brother and sister are about to leave Beijing, and I am afraid that we will not be able to catch up with the wedding banquet, so we have to send a congratulatory gift in advance, wishing Young Master Cheng a good marriage and a good marriage for a hundred years. ”
