Chapter 208: Lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot
Chapter 208 lifts a stone and shoots himself in the foot
After getting up early in the morning to wash and clean up, Yehuang instructed Xiaokui: "Tell your people, clean up the house immediately, and let's take the whole family over this morning to have a look."
"Didn't you say that you would wait for Dai Niang's family affairs to be done" Xiaokui asked puzzled, Yehuang smiled bitterly: "I thought about a back and forth last night, or don't break my face with the old man, after all, I can ignore it, but the second master always has to pay attention to it, so it is best to leave the capital well and not make a fuss."
Xiao Kui's eyes turned to understand: "Do you want this house to shut their mouths?" ”
Yehuang nodded: "They don't take advantage of it, it's no wonder that it's right to take advantage, but it's more important, there is no choice for this" Xiao Kui went out to arrange it immediately, about half an hour later, Ye Huang took Xiao Kui to Tan's to ask for peace, and then said that there is a house that looks good at the beginning, and plans to go over with the whole family to see it today, and buy it if it is suitable, so as not to sell it to other families.
Tan's Tong Mo Yan knew that the old second daughter-in-law was so active, and they were very satisfied, so they immediately asked Lu's mother to invite Dai Niang and Mo, and the two tossed for a while, and it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.
Driving to this house, Ye Huang glanced at Xiao Kui, and Xiao Kui began to introduce the situation of this house.
Green bricks, pomelo doors, brass bubble nails, atmospheric and reloaded; Pavilions, corridors, flowers, trees, stones and grasses, scholarly fragrance from the door; Three into four spans, door plaques and columns, and heirlooms for a long time...... This kind of mansion is satisfied with the whole family, especially the father-in-law Mo Yan seems to have found the confidence of that kind of person, and when he entered the study, he loved the bookcase, table and chair inside, touched and touched, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of comfort.
Mo Zi knew that this house was his in the end, so when he entered the courtyard, he felt like looking at his own room, and after reading a few courtyards, he finally saw that his east and cross courtyards were very elegant, and he was also excited to talk about it.
It took nearly half an hour for everyone to sit down in the hall, and Yehuang looked at the second elder with a smile: "What do you think?" In addition to the official residence, this is the best house in Jiang'an."
"Not bad, yes, old 2nd daughter-in-law, this house will cost a lot, right?" Mo Yan nodded and asked, and Tan immediately glanced at him.
"More than three hundred taels" Yehuang replied with a smile, and Tan's eyes suddenly widened: "It's so expensive, you, are you willing to do it?" ”、
"Filial piety to the second elder, it should be, where is there anything that is reluctant to be reluctant, look at this meaning, father-in-law and mother-in-law think it's okay?"
What else can't be, such a good house doesn't have to spend your own money, the old couple can't close their mouths with joy, and when they nod vigorously and say yes, Mo Yan even murmured: "This house is really good, I especially like the study, but those families are only afraid to move ......"
"Master, don't you see that everything in those homes is brand new?" Xiaokui opened his mouth with a smile at this time, Mo Yan and Tan were stunned, and instinctively looked at the furniture he was sitting on again, and immediately confirmed that it was brand new, so he looked at Yehuang, and Yehuang said with a smile: "Actually, I have already bought this house, originally, I have to wait for the second old man to speak, and I dare to buy it as a daughter-in-law, but this house is really good, and there are other families who also want to buy it at that time, I am afraid that I will miss it, and I can't give the second old man the best house, the second master will blame me if he knows, so he will take it first, thinking that if you old 2 don't like it, then I will sell it and buy another set of others, Fortunately, my father-in-law and mother-in-law liked it. ”
"I've bought them all!" Tan's face was flushed with excitement, and Yehuang smiled: "The book has just been established, when it is cleaned up here, I will go to the yamen to be a witness, this house belongs to the second master, and your old two are only in charge."
When it came to this, the second elder was happy, and Mo also got up and thanked Ye Huang, only Dai Niang's eyes showed a look of envy, moved behind Tan's body, and whispered on his stomach, and then Tan smiled and reached out and poked Dai Niang's forehead: "Anyway, it's all done, if you want to marry from here, what's wrong?" Anyway, I want you to marry the scenery."
Dai Niang immediately called her mother the best, and she sprinkled coquettishness in Tan's arms, and the house was full of laughter.
"Second grandma, the banquet is also ready, is it over now?" Xiao Kui saw that it was almost time, and opened his mouth, Yehuang immediately said to the second elder that he had booked a seat in the nearest restaurant, please come over, and go out of the house to the restaurant to eat together.
This seat is a good table, it costs twenty taels of silver, and the average person's monthly meal money will not exceed ten taels. So after being full of wine and food, the family talked and laughed and went back to Mofu, only to get to the entrance of the street, and saw that there were not a few people gathered in front of them, listening to the unclear words, they were all talking about the scenery of the Mo family, and Yehuang smiled at Xiaokui, "You arranged it?" ”
"It's not all, find a few people to take the lead, and you'll come to a bunch of them, anyway, that's what you want," Xiao Kui replied with a smile, and the carriage stopped, so Yehuang got out of the car and waited for the second elder to get out of the car, and immediately saw a red object - many of the dowries were still placed in front of the mansion
Tan's face was even more red, and he coughed lightly and led people into the house, but the family didn't even enter the door, so the housekeeper came up with a dozen people, which shocked Mo Yan and Tan.
"Why are there so many people? This is ......" I had heard it clearly in the car, but at the moment I wanted to take Qiao up.
"Master, these are all dowries, you are not in the house, I asked the people to inspect the goods first, all good things, not damaged." The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward to answer, and when the Tan family heard it, he went over to check a few things, and the results were all good materials and famous workers, which were really good, and he said proudly and loudly at the moment: "Well, yes, our Mo family is married to a daughter, and it is naturally a good work, otherwise I don't know that our Mo family is a nouveau riche Dai Niang, do you like it?" ”
What a contrived look, Dai Niang smiled and called Niang, and then entered the house shyly, and hid behind the wall, Tan was happy, so he ordered the housekeeper to carry everything in, so the people and the delivery people were busy, and the housekeeper sent the bill in his hand up, which also made it clear that it was time to pay.
Tan immediately looked at Yehuang, which meant that she would pay for this, but Yehuang raised his voice at this moment and said: "Butler, quickly invite everyone to sit in the hall and eat tea, and after the wife checks, she will pay everyone's silver." ”
When the housekeeper heard this, he immediately invited these people in, Mo Yan followed with a smile, but was caught by Tan, and after they went in, Tan looked at Yehuang, and Yehuang said to him: "Mother-in-law, don't stand here, go into the house and get the silver for everyone."
Tan wanted to speak, but he was in front of the mansion, he smiled dryly and pulled Mo Yan and hurried in, and when the group rushed through the second gate, Tan immediately looked at Yehuang and asked: "I said Yehuang, didn't I say it before, you bought this dowry for Zhang Luo, didn't you agree?"
Yehuang nodded: "Yes, I bought it, isn't it all purchased" and suddenly patted his head: "Oh, understood, you didn't say enough to ask me to put on the pad, didn't you?" ”
Tan Shi smiled stupidly: "Borrow, borrow your silver first" She also wanted to say on the mat, but she had to open her face horizontally and vertically, and she knew what to cover.
Yehuang is hand spread: "Mother-in-law, you have to be considerate of your daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law said before, you can take an extra two hundred taels, now the seventy-two dowry deposit, but I went to my one hundred and ten taels of silver, the daughter-in-law has been put on, and I don't expect you to pay me back, now I have more than three hundred taels to buy a house, now my hands are really empty, if I insist on another silver, I'm afraid I can only sell the house for money, and then give it to the second elder."
Yehuang pushed it like this, and choked Tan's speechlessness at the moment, after all, how much dowry does the old 2 daughter-in-law want, this has always been a fascination, and now people are generous enough to buy a house and give a fixed amount, which is also very neat, and now the crying poor is gone, how can they force it again? What's more, if you really want that house to be replaced, doesn't that mean that their house is gone?
"Dad, mother, Dai Niang's dowry, you can't use my house to exchange it, you also know that I want to marry the daughter of the He family, if our family is one point lower than others everywhere, you son and me, aren't you also cold" Mo heard that the house was going to be exchanged, how could he agree, and immediately made a fuss, and Dai Niang over there was also anxious: "Mother, I know that I am a dowry of seventy-two lifts, so many people are watching, don't let your daughter be ashamed, I, I am marrying to the Ren family, if I let me be embarrassed, I would rather die"
Saying that, Dai Niang immediately howled, Tan frowned and drank: "Shut up for me" and then glared at Mo with a bitter face: "It's all you, if you don't defeat my more than three hundred taels of silver, can I be so difficult now" said and entered the house angrily.
"Dad, mother, this is ......"
Mo Yan pursed his lips and glared at Mo as well: "What are you talking about?" Didn't your mother take the silver?" and looked at the housekeeper: "How much do you want to give?" ”
"For the dowry of seventy-two taels, the second grandmother has already paid one hundred and eighteen taels of silver, and another four hundred and twenty-three taels will be paid." As soon as the housekeeper's words fell, Mo Yan grew his mouth, and then looked at Yehuang with a dry smile: "Why is it so expensive?" ”
"Father-in-law, didn't you tell your mother-in-law that you must have good materials and good work? The timber of the dowry is all mahogany, and there are no less than two hundred taels of material alone, not to mention the wages and ......."
"Okay, okay" Mo Yan waved his hand to prevent Ye Huang from speaking, because he knew that these were Tan's requests, so he hurriedly stepped into the house, but the others realized that no one was following and were waiting outside.
The Tan family in the house, who was already counting silver with a pale face, took a spinot out, and groped it distressedly, seeing Mo Yan's toothache, he couldn't help but say: "Look at you, you are distressed like this, if you are really reluctant, then the house will be sold."
"Nonsense" Tan gritted his teeth and glared at Mo Yan: "What kind of place did you live in that house for the rest of your life, not to mention that Mo and the He family are married, our Mo family can't lose face, I admit more than four hundred."
Mo Yan sighed: "Alas, you, don't you have to scrape people, raise thirty to seventy-two, do you use so much money?" ”
"You still say?" Tan immediately spat at him: "You see that I'm not distressed enough, right?" How do I know how to lift a stone and shoot myself in the foot, alas, why don't I hurry up and help count it"
