Chapter 65: Self-reliance
It stands to reason that he should have given it to him when he took Xiucai four years ago, but Old Madam Chu must not have been relieved that Chu Jingyan was occupying the Chu family's things at that time, and would rather suffer a loss than let Chu Jingyan please him.
Chu Jiayin blinked her big eyes, looked at Chu Jingyan curiously, and asked expectantly, "Second brother, do you know what grandmother means?" ”
"Probably for tax evasion?" Chu Jingyan put the title deed back.
"Huh?" Chu Jiayin didn't understand.
"The court stipulates that every Xiucai who has no official position in his family can have 20 acres of land under his name and is not subject to land tax. This is why some people who can't get ahead by studying at all, especially those who have land at home, squeeze into the college exam every year. They study just to pay less money to the officials. ”
Chu Jiayin lay on the table, and suddenly remembered that after the third brother took Xiucai last year, his grandmother also gave him the land.
"But, why didn't grandmother give ...... earlier" Chu Jiayin asked halfway through, and suddenly understood why. So now I have changed my mind, is it because my grandmother accepted the second brother?
"Actually, the tax on twenty acres of land shouldn't be much, right?" Chu Jiayin didn't understand, and he didn't know anything about this matter.
The old lady picked it out and pressed the fields under the name of Xiucai at home, and every acre was planted with high grain yield, or some precious trees were planted. According to the old lady's assignment to me, I should hand over these savings to the official family, so that the house can eat for two or three months. Chu Jingyan explained, in order to facilitate Chu Jiayin's understanding, he also gave an easy-to-understand example.
As soon as Chu Jiayin heard that he could let the people in the house eat for two or three months, he was not calm.
"Huh? So how much money should the government have lost over the years? ”
It's not a loss, it's just that if this title deed is handed over to Chu Jingyan at the beginning, wouldn't the Chu family save almost half a year's rations?
Although the expenses used by the Chu family to eat are not high in the family gate, they are also a lot of money!
"It's not a lot of loss, it's just a small amount for the Chu family." Mrs. Chu distributed the title deed to her children and grandchildren, firstly, to save unnecessary expenses, and secondly, she just wanted to give her descendants a little bit of property that could be driven independently.
What Mrs. Chu gave to other sons was naturally ironclad and nailed. Giving Chu Jingyan this can only be regarded as a safekeeping, as long as Old Madam Chu needs it, he has to hand it back.
"Oh." Chu Jiayin didn't understand anything in his previous life, and now he has only begun to come into contact with all kinds of useful things, and he is confused about everything. If you can't settle the account, isn't it good?
In her previous life, she didn't have to settle accounts when she married into the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, but what about this life?
Chu Jiayin felt that she was very likely to need to settle accounts in the future, and she had already smelled the smell of money! If she doesn't have status, she has to be rich, so she must be able to settle accounts!
"Second brother, will you teach me to read the account book?" Chu Jiayin said with a sad face.
"What's wrong with you, this one has only learned a little bit, and you want to learn that. Don't learn from the monkey who moved the grain, see one love the other, and lose the one in front of you, and in the end there is nothing! Chu Jingyan teased.
Chu Jiayin held her chin with her hands, the food had begun to get cold, and she had no appetite. The spring wind is always gentle and with a hint of satisfying warmth, blowing across the face, and the whole person involuntarily begins to feel sleepy.
On the flower branches not far away, the blooming flowers attract bees and butterflies to stop and linger.
Chu Jiayin looked at the flying bee butterfly and smiled, and asked, "Second brother, what should I learn so that I can live on my own without relying on the Chu family in the future?" ”
There are many reasons for the defeat of the Chu family, Chu Yun's mother and daughter are only part of it, and they are accelerating the speed of the fall of the Chu family, but without them, the Chu family seems to be in trouble. It's just a matter of timing later and earlier.
If she really can't keep the Chu family in front of her in the future, Chu Jiayin thought, can she take on another Chu family?
"It's not difficult to be self-reliant, it's hard to be prosperous and rich." Chu Jingyan said, "Self-reliance is just a life, and prosperity and wealth are not something that everyone can get through hard work." ”
"Hmm."
"You are a girl's family, and someone will worry about this for you in the future."
Chu Jiayin immediately vetoed him: "No, I don't want to be attached to my husband's family, I want to be a person who makes my husband's family dare not underestimate him." I don't even want my husband's house anymore. If you find a husband and get married, what good can you do? It's just a different home. If you want me to say, I should have the ability to block one side alone, and I will do whatever I want in the future, no one will stop me, and no one will dare to stop me! ”
"Well, if you want to, you can." Chu Jingyan said.
"The second brother said I could, then I must be able to." Chu Jiayin said with a smile.
The words were divided into two ends, Chu Yun, who was taken out by the Chu family and rectified, and Mama Wang beside her, as well as the maid Hongyu, who was in the same stream with them, were all carried by a group of old women and drove away the Chu family. Now, let alone the position of the concubine, don't talk about losing face, you can't even be a concubine.
For the sake of the Chu family's face, the Chu family's external appearance was enough to give Chu Yun face, and it took a lot of money to suppress the limelight.
As soon as Chu Yun entered her mother's house, she began to cry and cry, like a child who had been greatly wronged. He raised his hand to wipe his tears and said, "Mother, it's Yun'er who is useless...... Woohoo......"
Ruan Xiangling hugged her helplessly, "Okay, even I will annoy you if you cry again." ”
After saying that, Ruan Xiangling let go of the person, with endless sadness and sadness on her face, but it was a pity that none of them belonged to Chu Yun. She was worried about her retreat, afraid that Chu Yun would make a fuss, and even if she and Chu Liangshan were brought together, they would be remembered by the old woman in vain.
Originally, in the old woman's heart, Ruan Xiangling and Chu Liangshan were not good things, and if Chu Yun was so stirred, it would be even more valuable!
Ruan Xiangling is now distressed that she was pregnant for ten months, and she has worked hard to raise such a useless thing.
Angry, Ruan Xiangling found a chair and sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, and worriedly thought about what she should do next. The daughter can't count on it, and on her son's side, Ruan Xiangling can't stuff people into the Chu family for a while.
Besides, with Chu Yun's unlucky thing as a lesson from the past, will the Chu family dare to accept Ruan Xianglingsheng's stuff again?
Thinking like this, Ruan Xiangling looked at Chu Yun and couldn't help but become even more angry.
Chu Yun, who was wronged outside and ran to her mother to cry and couldn't be comforted, poured a few sour water in her stomach, secretly gritted her teeth, and vowed to break Chu Jiayin and others into pieces!
Why did Chu Jiayin suffer grievances, so many people comforted her, and so many people helped her! What about her? Why is she down, there is no one else except for pouring cold water and jokes? Even her biological mother!
"I asked you if it was reliable, oops, I planted myself in a daze! Oops, I'm angry when I talk about it, we have a good deck of cards, and we make a mess for you, how can we wash it back in the future? ”
Ruan Xiangling glared at Chu Yun in disgust, and the posture of the stilted legs was changed to the other leg.
"I ......" Chu Yun was so aggrieved that she couldn't speak, 1 Looking at her mother's appearance, I'm afraid that she wouldn't care if she lived or died.
"What are you, go down first, and then I'll think about what we should do. You sleep in the east room, don't go to your brother's side to make a noise with him, he still has to study. In two months, the township test will be held. We can't count on the Chu family and your father, so we can only count on your brother. Ruan Xiangling grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table, distraught, and spit the melon seeds on the ground casually.
Chu Yun took a look, because she had given Ruan Xiangling a lecture earlier, and she held a grudge in her heart, so she secretly despised it: No wonder Mrs. Chu looked down on her mother, she was a vulgar and rude maid on the left and right, and she couldn't get on the stage!
"Okay, I got it." Chu Yun retreated, the handkerchief in her hand, I don't know what she kneaded it like, it was wrinkled and ugly.
When Chu Yun saw it, he hated it so much that he simply became angry with the handkerchief, threw the handkerchief on the ground casually, stepped on it and went to the guest room.
There are a total of four rooms in the guest room, the west side is Chu Liangshan's residence, and the east side is the farthest from the west, not to mention the passage in the middle, but also separated by a bend.
Chu Yun wants to see and see, is his brother, who was given high hopes by his mother, studying seriously now! It's not that she doesn't know his brother's temperament, so it's strange that she can study honestly.
Bah! Greedy for money and lustful things, how much better can she be than her, she will just be reincarnated and become a brat!
If he can enter the Chu family, he will be two years older than Chu Jingyan, who is now ranked second, but he narrowly passed the hospital test at the beginning of this year, and he won a show. I've taken the exam several times, and this time I finally got it, and my grades are still at the bottom!
On weekdays, Ruan Xiangling has to urge him, and she can't wait to read it for him, Chu Yun follows him to read, and she understands more than him! If it weren't for Chu Yun becoming a girl, I'm afraid she would have gotten a show a few years ago!
According to Chu Yun, he can't pass the township test!
When he was a child, he coaxed his mother that he was going to read, but he didn't know what to do when he turned his head. was bumped into by Chu Yun, so he asked his sister to hide it from his mother for him.
Of course, Chu Yun has to betray him every time, otherwise he will rely on him, can he be admitted to Xiucai?
Chu Yun hatefully walked up the road to the west wing, and when she reached the middle of the road, she heard the voices of Chu Liangshan and the girl across the two walls. Sure enough, is this what reading a book looks like?
She and her mother tried their best to plan for him outside, and he was good, looking for fun all day long, and he didn't know how to grow! Such a big person, supported by his sister and mother, has no shame! It's hopeless!
Chu Yun slammed the door open.
Inside the house, Chu Liangshan and a fox fairy who appeared out of nowhere mingled mingled together, playing on the table in disheveled clothes! What a pleasure!
The woman was startled by the sudden sound of the door opening the door, and she nested in Chu Liangshan's arms, like a frightened beautiful kitten, so cute.
