Chapter 720: Stepping Green 4
"When did the Chu family also have a Zhuangzi at the foot of Phoenix Mountain?" After Xia Rantang learned the news, he was stunned for a long time.
The mother-in-law said, "Second lady, why don't you go and inquire again?" ”
"Well, put some more silver on your body, you must inquire clearly." Xia Rantang finally found this opportunity to get close to Chu Li, and she didn't want to miss it.
"Yes, the old slave will retire first."
The mother-in-law retreated.
Xia Rantang was a little uneasy, went to Chu Ningrui again, told her the news, and asked her, "Do you know that the Chu family has a Zhuangzi at the foot of Phoenix Mountain?" ”
"Nope." Chu Ningrui was very sure, "If there is, I can't not know, this Phoenix Mountain, I will accompany my grandmother to come over to play a few times a year, if there is also a Zhuangzi at the foot of the phoenix, it is impossible for grandma to pass through the door without entering, right?" ”
Chu Ningrui frowned, "I'll ask." ”
Chu Ningrui inquired about the matter, simply and rudely, directly called the steward of Zhuangzi, and asked directly.
In the end, it was the second lady of the Chu family, and the housekeeper's mother didn't dare to hide it, and said, "Second Miss Hui, that's not the Zhuangzi of the Chu family, I heard that it was the fourth wife's dowry Zhuangzi." ”
"How is that possible?" Chu Ningrui's eyes widened in disbelief, "With that little man's mother's family, how can he afford to buy a Zhuangzi like that at the foot of Phoenix Mountain?" ”
The Zhuangzi at the foot of the Phoenix Mountain is the best Zhuangzi in Hangzhou, not only the paddy fields are fertile on dry land, the Grange covers an area of large, just one is thousands of acres of land, and the smallest Zhuangzi has to be tens of thousands of taels of silver.
How could the Xi family, a small family, take out so much silver to buy Zhuangzi?
Even if they can get it, the Xi family won't be stupid enough to take it out to buy a dowry for that little thief, right?
Then the rest of the Xi family doesn't have to live?
Chu Ningrui thought about it left and right, and felt that there was something wrong with the Zhuangzi, and she suspected that the silver that bought the Zhuangzi was secretly subsidized by her fourth uncle to the little thief.
"Ah Rui, what should we do now, do we still have to go to your fourth aunt and block her?" Xia Rantang asked hesitantly, "I think, otherwise, let's forget it, right?" ”
Chu Ningrui snorted angrily, "I want to forget it, it's too cheap for her, let's go down the mountain tomorrow to find them, that little man is fascinated by my fourth uncle, and he is about to forget what his ancestor's surname is, if I don't help my fourth uncle, let that little man continue, and it won't be long before the entire Chu family will let her run rampant." ”
Xia Rantang was happy in his heart, but he hesitated and said, "I'm just worried that the relationship between you and Fourth Brother Chu will be stiff, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that Xi Feng will not be able to tolerate you and drive you away." ”
"What are you afraid of, aren't there still you?" Chu Ningrui looked at her with hatred, "You are so good-looking, I don't believe that my fourth uncle is blind and will not see it." ”
"But after all, I'm the one who walked through the family, I'm afraid of ......"
"It's not for him to be a wife, it's just a concubine, it doesn't matter if you marry a second time, in Hangzhou City, I don't know how many people a woman marries someone as a concubine, and it's not much worse than you."
Chu Ningrui saw that Xia Rantang was going to retreat, but she didn't agree.
She looked at her with a cold face and said, "You can't back down, you said it at the beginning, if you back down halfway, you don't have to come to me again in the future, let me help you." ”
One covets Chu Li, the other hates Xi Feng, the two get together and cooperate perfectly.
