Chapter 325: Wei Jiao'er
Li Guoer from Yanjing City, thousands of miles away, on the second day of the second room of the Li family in Xiahe Village, the third room of the Li family made a major decision after a night of careful discussion, that is, to speed up the construction of the house.
First, Li Hao, the eldest son of the third room, is imminent on the day of marriage, and second, after a period of time, the Lord of the Imperial Court will come to Xiahe Village to read the holy decree.
What a glorious thing it is to be rewarded by the holy decree, the three rooms of the Li family don't want to be in the third room, and when Lord Qincha arrived, he saw a house that was not in shape, and he was surprised......
In order to speed up the construction of houses, under the auspices of Li Hao, the eldest young master, the Li family's three rooms, in addition to leaving the silver needed for daily life, all the others were put into the construction of the house, and the bricks and tiles were pulled from the town one by one, and dozens of workers and masons were invited to work.
In addition to the masons, the elders of the Li family, from Li Mingli and Yang, to the younger generations such as Li Hao and Li Rouer, are all busy.
The brothers Li Hao and Li Jing were running around, busy contacting the brick kiln in Wanping Town, purchasing sufficient bricks and tiles, adding furniture, and arranging some matters when the Lord Qincha came to announce the decree.
Li Sang'er, Li Rou'er and other female dependents are busy learning rules and etiquette with their grandmothers and learning how to be a qualified lady.
Bai Tao'er, the eldest daughter of the Bai family, who has made a family relationship with Li Hao, has increased the content of her studies these days, not only to learn how to manage family finances, but also to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as the etiquette rules that should be in the face of different levels of female dependents.
Regarding the sudden busyness of the Li family, the villagers of Xiahe Village were puzzled.
Soon, a new thing attracted the attention of the villagers......
At the east end of the village, on this side of the sandy land, the watermelons planted in several houses of the Li family are growing gratifyingly, and they have matured in less than two months.
The richest man in Qingyang County, Jiang Yixuan, the eldest son of the Jiang family, personally contacted a group of businessmen when the watermelon was ripe and bought it at a high price of three taels of silver for a watermelon.
They know a little about the price of watermelons, but they never thought that watermelons in this season are worth three taels of silver, easily, the Li family has three rooms, and the income is three or four thousand taels, and even the Li family's five rooms and six rooms are also two or three hundred taels of income......
"Mother, I heard that the watermelons among the third brother sold for a lot of money?" The eldest daughter of the Li family, who has never returned to her parents' house since she got married, Li Chun'er heard the news and returned to her parents' house for the first time with a few cheap snacks.
Li Chun'er's family is relatively wealthy, and Li Chun'er has given birth to three sons and three daughters to her husband's family over the years, and she sits firmly in the seat, so she is full of dislike for her mother's family.
Li Chun'er went back to her parents' house, which was a happy thing, but unfortunately, as soon as Li Chun'er entered the door, she asked such a sentence.
Zhou's originally happy face sank suddenly, and he said unfriendly: "Yes, what about three taels of silver for a watermelon?" What about one or two acres of land being three or four thousand taels? ”
The Li family planted watermelons in three rooms and sold a large sum of silver, and the Zhou family had long known it clearly, although they were greedy, but they didn't dare to come to the door to ask for silver.
"Mother, I heard that the third brother's family is building a big house?" Li Chun'er and her daughter, whose eyes were on her forehead, glanced at each other, kindly held Zhou's arm, and opened her mouth with a smile.
When they entered the village, they could see it clearly, the house had already taken shape, covering an area of more than ten acres?
Li Chun'er and her daughter Wei Jiao'er combined, and felt that the house had cost two or three thousand taels to build, to say the least, and they were greedy in their hearts......
Zhou said angrily: "Isn't it? Don't you see, these days, the brick kiln in the town has pulled a lot of bricks and tiles, and there are five bedrooms and six bedrooms that have a good relationship with their three rooms, and the pig girl is also a house? ”
"Grandmother, I'm Jiao'er, your granddaughter......"
Wei Jiao'er rolled her eyes and opened her mouth with a smile, thinking in her heart how to make everything in the Li family's third room hers.
By the way, she is not married yet, if she marries the cousin of the third uncle's family, and when the cousin of the sick seedling dies, she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the third room, isn't this her final say?
After Wei Jiao'er figured it out in her heart, Chu Chu looked at Zhou pitifully and said: "Grandmother, Jiao'er saw Cousin Hao many years ago, and she can't forget Cousin Hao, and her father and mother haven't said anything about Jiao'er over the years, just waiting for the third uncle and Cousin Hao to come to the door to propose......"
As she spoke, Wei Jiao'er showed a shy look and rubbed the corners of her clothes.
Zhou and Li Chun'er were stunned in unison, and looked at Wei Jiao'er in shock, their eyes full of disbelief.
Li Chun'er was surprised in her heart, surprised her precious daughter, how could she say such a thing, she and her husband could have promised this second daughter to the mayor of the town to a rich family, and it was her eldest daughter who married into the town chief's house as a concubine?
What did the second daughter say at this time, Brother Hao, who had seen the third brother's family many years ago, had been thinking about it, isn't it shameless?
Zhou was shocked in his heart, and what shocked her was that she, the granddaughter with red phoenix eyes and melon seed face, said that she liked Brother Hao in the third room......
You know, Sanfang was back then, she and her husband raised her, and she has been treated harshly all these years, this granddaughter said that she wanted to marry Brother Hao of Sanfang, isn't this a crime in the past?
"No, Sanfang has already set a family affair for Brother Hao'er, the other party is the eldest daughter of the Bai family Sanfang in the village, this wedding date is half a month later, Jiao'er is beautiful, how can she be a concubine?" Zhou refused without hesitation.
Although Li Chun'er, the daughter, has no filial piety, the Zhou family still loves her, after all, Li Chun'er, you are her first daughter, and Wei Jiao'er is her granddaughter.
During this time, she has not been able to get benefits in the third room, every time she goes to make trouble, she comes back with a disgraced face, and even after she comes back, all kinds of strange things always happen at home the next day, either she has lost the silver she worked hard to hide, or she seems to have been beaten.
Her husband persuaded her bitterly and asked her to settle down, she had suffered a few losses, and she understood!
is not biological or not biological, and now there is still a relationship, so indifferent, the rhythm of old and dead do not get along, if this is really urgent, tearing her face, she can't get any benefits.......
Because the Zhou family was afraid of the three rooms in their hearts and the means of the three rooms, they tried their best to oppose it at this time, and they might as well let Wei Jiaoer, the granddaughter, enter the third room of the Li family as a concubine.
Li Chun'er and Wei Jiao'er glanced at each other, and secretly said in their hearts that they were finally one step too late.
That's it, maybe the third room is just a few silver coins, it's an empty shelf, how can the mud legs in the countryside be compared to the rich and noble families in the town?
The most important thing is that the rich and noble families in the town have a relationship with the mayor of the town.
There are officials behind him, everything is easy, why can't he get the property of the Li family's three rooms in the future.......
