CHAPTER XXXI

Cheng Lan thought of the past, and the grievances and resentments at that time were multiplied several times at this moment.

She knew that the Ran family's small treasury was very rich, she thought that it would be hers in the future, but now she gave it to Jiang Ran, and she didn't leave any of it, what else would she have to marry into the Jiang family in the future?

My grandmother is poor and afraid, even if she has saved a lot of silver in the Jiang family's housekeeper over the years, she refuses to take out any of it, although she loves her, but she has never made any clothes and jewelry for her.

It's just that every time Jiang Ran makes clothes, her grandmother will ask her aunt to make a few for herself.

At such an age, it is the age when a girl loves Jiao, because it is stained with Jiang Ran's light, she does not dare to open her eyes to choose.

When the heart rejoices, it is always humiliated.

Now, Jiang Ran has left her behind to make clothes.

She had never worn such a beautiful Shu embroidery.

They don't take it to heart, she wants it but can't get it, why are things in this world so unfair.

It's just a few pieces of jewelry.

Cheng Lan was full of unwillingness, and wanted to be willful for the first time, "Grandmother, Lan'er wants a set of heads like her cousin, and Lan'er has never brought such a head." ”

Cheng Lan complained in her heart, but forgot that everything in the Jiang family was just exchanged for Ran's ten-mile red makeup.

Ran's dowry is naturally left to his daughter.

When Mrs. Jiang heard Cheng Lanxin say this, her heart was about to be pinched, and she instructed Ziwei, "Don't go and tell the uncle, let him go to Lingluo Pavilion to order a set of sapphire red gold noodles for Lan'er." ”

Mrs. Jiang had just sent Peony to ask Jiang Ran about the dowry, and this time she sent Ziwei to ask for her head, and Ziwei didn't have anything to say, so she had to go to the medicine hall hard, and secretly felt that her cousin was a little troublesome.

After all, it was something sent by the Xu family.

The eldest lady also gave Cheng Lanxin a fine brocade, and the face was not opened at first, but it happened to match the red plum pattern, and it was understandable to give it to the girl of the Ran family, I don't know why this Lan girl is so wronged.

But he said that Jiang Zhengtang went to the medicine hall, and the medicine hall was not too busy.

However, there was a sudden loss of 20,000 taels of snowflake silver, and the two shops of the Ran family were just that, and the two best shops in his hands were also given to Jiang Ran, and Jiang Zhengtang was feeling distressed and his whole body hurting.

At this time, Peony walked into the medicine hall.

It's also unfortunate.

Just in time for Jiang Zhengtang to be anxious.

Jiang Zhengtang helped his forehead and asked Peony, "What's wrong with the old lady?" The tone was impatient.

Peony climbed to the position of the big girl in front of Mrs. Jiang, naturally she was very eye-catching, and she could see the uncle's impatience at a glance.

The uncle has always been gentle and polite, and he has never shown such a look.

Peony hesitated how to speak.

"If it's all right, step back." Jiang Zhengtang waved his hand.

He was in a bad mood and didn't want to perfunctory a girl.

"The old lady knows about the girl's household, let me ask what is going on." Peony pondered for a while, and said it head-on, and said it more gently.

Jiang Zhengtang was unhappy about this, and now he saw that Mrs. Jiang sent a girl to question, and he was even more unhappy.

But it still didn't show up after all. Just endured a breath and said, "This matter has been decided, I will explain to the old lady when I go back later." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper came over and said, "Owner, this is the purchase bill for medicinal materials this time, a total of five thousand taels." ”

Jiang Zhengtang raised 20,000 taels of cash to Jiang Ran, and the turnover in the account was ineffective all of a sudden.

He can't hear the money now.

Peony also felt that the uncle was not ordinary anxious today.

The heart is also secretly eager, the old lady's hot temper, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay the difference when I go back.

At this time, Ziwei walked in.

Jiang Zhengtang glanced at Ziwei, only as if the old lady was asking Ziwei to come over and urge, without a trace of expression on his face, "You two go back and tell the old lady that I'm a little busy at the moment, I'll talk about it later." ”

Ziwei had just arrived, and without saying a word, she was about to be sent away. If you don't get things done, you will definitely be punished when you go back. She looked at Peony, a little hesitant.

Jiang Zhengtang spoke, "Anything else?" ”

"Miss Lan, Miss Lan wants a set of sapphire red gold heads, old lady, the old lady asked me to come over and say, let the uncle go to Lingluo Pavilion to make a set for Miss Lan." Ziwei stammered.

Jiang Zhengtang was even more annoyed when he heard it, "There are so many jewelry at home, why are there still fights." ”

He is already out of circulation, how can he have spare money to fight the red gold face. "Go back and let the old lady pay the money from the account."

Peony, as a first-class girl, followed the old lady, knowing that the monthly expenses in the house were fixed, and the old lady had been saving money, and the silver had fallen as her own body, and now the excess silver in the account had already entered the old lady's small treasury, and the remaining silver had just maintained this month's expenses.

The old lady's silver could only go in and out, and it was impossible to take it out to make jewelry for Miss Lan. This thing didn't work out, I'm afraid that Ziwei will be punished when she goes back.

is also a fallen person, Peony glanced at Ziwei sympathetically, and said for Ziwei, "The old lady's housekeeper has always been very economical, and there is not much money left." ”

Ziwei rubbed the corners of her clothes. Don't dare to be silent.

"The shopkeeper, give her twenty taels," Jiang Zhengtang finally said.

The shopkeeper sighed a little, but still gave Ziwei twenty taels.

Ziwei held the twenty taels of silver in her hand, and escaped from the medicine hall with Peony.

"Sister Peony, what can I do?" Ziwei held twenty taels of silver and said with a crying voice.

As for the two sets of heads sent by the Xu family, not to mention the weight of the red gold, just those few crystal clear gems are worth a few hundred taels of silver, and these twenty taels of silver are not even a fraction of it.

took it back like this, Ziwei was afraid that the old lady would smash the dozens of taels of silver on her face.

Peony is also a headache for her, and for the first time, she feels that Miss Lan is a little troublesome.

She didn't finish what the old lady had explained, and she didn't know what to do, but she was relieved and sighed, "Go back first." ”

The two returned to the Longevity Hall, and Mrs. Jiang was still waiting in the main hall.

Cheng Lanxin saw the two of them nervous from a distance, and felt that the matter must not have been done, and couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Peony, what about the uncle, didn't come back with you?"

Peony lowered his hand, "The medicine hall is busy, the uncle said that he will talk to you in detail when he comes back later?" ”

The old lady's anger rose slowly, and then she looked at Ziwei, "Ziwei, I asked you to tell the uncle, you didn't finish the matter of the deputy leader?" ”

After all, Ziwei was just a second-class girl, and she was so frightened at the moment that she just shook her hand and took out the twenty taels of silver, "Uncle, uncle gave it, gave twenty taels of silver, let the old lady take it, take it to Miss Lan." ”
