Chapter 745: Good intentions
Although Yan Yan guessed a little bit of Lu Jing's thoughts, she didn't say it, for her, whether it was the Lu family's public accounts or Mrs. Lu's private property, it had nothing to do with her, so when she saw Chunmian mentioning the separation, she wanted to avoid it.
As soon as she turned around and wanted to leave, Chunmian stopped her, "Please also ask grandma to stay." ”
Hearing this, Yan Yan looked at the old lady on the kang, and the old lady winked at her, with a slight smile in her eyes.
Yan Yan was just about to speak, when she suddenly heard movement outside, she knew that it was Lu Jin who came, so she hurriedly greeted her outside, but before she reached the door, she saw the door curtain opened, Lu Jin came in with a food box, followed by Lu Chu and Lu You, Lu Yi was not very stable when he walked, but he liked to run, so Lu Chu held his hand tightly.
Lu Jin first put the food box on the edge of the kang, then took two steps back, and saluted the old lady side by side with Lu Chu and Lu Yi, "Great-grandmother, this is the small snack that Jin Niang brought to you, it was just made by Aunt Qinghe, and it is fragrant." ”
Yan Yan stepped forward and brought the food box over, "Jin Niang, my great-grandmother will not be hungry, she will not eat snacks, and she will eat when she is hungry." ”
Lu Jin pouted when he heard this, "Uh, okay." ”
After speaking, she untied a purse from herself and put it in the old lady's hand, "This is the purse I made for my great-grandmother, I really made it myself, don't lie to my great-grandmother." ”
The old lady had the heart to pick up the purse and take a look, but she couldn't lift her arm a little, Yan Yan saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the purse and put it in front of the old lady, "Jin Niang, come, you come and tell your great-grandmother what you embroider and what it means." ”
Jin Niang pointed to the pattern above and said: "Great-grandmother, I embroidered the Ruyi pattern, just learned, embroidered not very well, a total of three, one for the Queen Mother, one for the great-grandmother, and one for the great-grandmother, Jin Niang wished the three old people good health and good luck, long life and 100 years old." ”
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she pulled the corners of her mouth, showed a little smile, and reached out to touch Lu Jin, Lu Jin took the initiative to stretch out her hand, and the old lady held Lu Jin's hand and spit out three words with difficulty, "Good boy." ”
"Great-grandmother, why are you crying, are you sick?" Lu Chu saw that something was wrong.
"Chu'er, come, obedient, great-grandmother is a little uncomfortable, so you can't make noise, good boy, you can go out when you see great-grandmother, remember your mother's words, don't make noise." Yan Yan grabbed Lu Chu.
"That great-grandmother, you take care of it, I took my brothers out, and we will come to see you when you are well." Lu Jin pulled out his hand, curtsy obediently, and then led Lu Chu out with one hand and Lu Yi with the other.
After the three children went out, Yan Yan looked at Chunmian, "Sister Chunmian, you can continue." ”
Chunmian had already taken out a small box from the cabinet at this time, but he didn't rush to open it, but looked at Lu Duan and said: "Back to the master, the old lady means that if the old lady encounters misfortune one day, I hope the old man can remember one thing, Lu Shizi is the son of the Zhenguo Gong, no matter how many children the new wife has in the future, we must ensure that the Zhenguo Mansion can operate normally when it is handed over to Lu Shizi, and I hope that the old man will focus on the overall situation." ”
"It's nature." Rikuduan nodded.
"Okay, this box is most of the Lu family's property, the field shop and some large money tickets, today the slave maid handed over to the master in front of everyone, and please remember what the master said today." After Chunmian finished speaking, he opened the box, took out the yellowed title deeds and house deeds, and counted them, "There are twenty-two Zhuangzi, sixteen shops, and 32,000 money tickets. ”
"What does that mean?" Lu Duan's face was not very good-looking, because he listened to Chunmian's meaning, these things were just handed over to him for safekeeping, and they would have to be returned to Lu Ming in the future, so what is the child born by Wang Jie?
"Back to the master, the old lady means to ask the master to hand over the special person to take care of it, and strive to use the income of these shops and Zhuangzi to buy some more industries, and the little boys and young ladies are still young, so they are not in a hurry to use the money."
After Chunmian finished speaking, she put away these things and handed the box to Lu Duan, and then she turned around and entered the inner room, and after a while, she came out with a rosewood box about one and a half feet long, about one foot wide, and about half a foot high.
"This box of things is the old lady's private property." After speaking, Chunmian opened the box in front of everyone, and there were also yellowed lists on it, Chunmian picked up the lists and read them.
In addition to the six shops and eight shops in Zhuangzi, there are 38,000 money tickets and a number of jewelry, according to the old lady's meaning, Yan Yan was divided into a shop and a Zhuangzi, and the rest were given to Lu Ming, the money tickets Lu Duan and Lu Ming each accounted for 10,000, Lu Jing and Lu Han each accounted for 5,000, the other four granddaughters from the concubine were 1,000 each, and Lu Zhu in the second room also gave 4,000, and there was no Yan Yan.
After the list was divided, everyone looked at the jewelry in the box, all kinds of hairpins, bracelets, Huasheng, etc., as well as many inlaid with gems or pearls.
"It's not appropriate, is it?" Yan Yan was really taken aback, because she saw the jealousy and dissatisfaction in Lu Jing and Lu Han's eyes.
"This is the old lady's intention, and I hope the grandmother will not refuse, the old lady said, her things are naturally not as good as those in the palace, but it is also a little blessing from her as an elder to the younger generation." Chunmian explained.
Having said that, Yan Yan couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to take the box.
"Also, the old lady still has 1,200 taels of gold at the bottom of the box under her name, which is reserved for the second and fifth misses, that is, Lu Yuan and Lu Yuan, the old lady said, this gold will be used for them to press the bottom of the box in the future." Chunmian paused after speaking, and then told everyone that these calligraphy, paintings, antique ornaments and other items in the house would be left to Lu Ming, and they would no longer be divided.
"The mother has a heart, but the son is unfilial, which makes the mother worry." Lu Duan knelt down, lay on the edge of the kang, whined and cried, the old lady stretched out her thin hand, trembled and put it on her son's head, and then, tears couldn't stop flowing out.
Seeing this scene, Lu Jing also rushed to the old lady's side and cried, she really couldn't figure it out, as the old lady's only daughter-in-law, and also as the old lady's only two biological children, her treatment was not as good as her own brother and Lu Ming, the only grandson, how could she not even catch up with a granddaughter-in-law, and even the three great-granddaughters of the fourth generation.
How could she be embarrassed?
