Chapter 206: Who's Poorer Than Who!
Can agate and topaz be the same? One is a precious jewelry material, the other is an engraved seal material, the same size, the price is at least ten times different, Tan couldn't help but spray tea. She really didn't expect Yehuang to be so unpopular.
Yehuang understood in his heart, but he leaned over with an innocent face: "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" The tea should also be drunk slowly, otherwise it will choke you, and if you can't get up in one breath, then something will happen."
It's a lot of good-hearted concern, but who can listen to this comfortably? Especially Tan, who was already angry in his heart, glared at her: "How did you speak?" Are you going to curse me? ”
Yehuang immediately saw tears in his eyes, and turned aggrieved towards his father-in-law Mo Yan.
Mo Yan opened his mouth: "Hey, what are you training her to do, people still don't care about you?" Drink a tea, you have to be careful, then Du Mu almost died after choking on a sip of water the year before last......"
Tan's sullen glared at Mo Yan resentfully, and said in his heart: "Why can't you tell the difference?" ”
Over there, Dai Niang leaned over and said: "Sister-in-law, topaz is yellow, why should you be happy on people's big day?" Look at my red clothes, red shoes, and red hijab, even the velvet flowers are red, with individual colors, how ugly is this? ”
Yehuang snorted, raised his hand and rubbed the corner of his eyes and said: "It makes sense to say this, in fact, I think the yellow and red ones also look good, many people are wearing gold jewelry, which looks very dazzling, but you also said a set of red, which is really a red one-color celebration." ”
Dai Niang immediately pursed her mouth: "Yes, sister-in-law, but now there is no material for agate, so what should I do?" ”
"Ask your sister-in-law to help you." Tan's help, it is clear that he wants Yehuang to give up this set of jewelry.
In fact, to be honest, a set of agate jewelry is really not a good thing in the eyes of the night phoenix, when Dai Niang wanted the set of sapphires, the night phoenix guessed that it was a turn to get her jewelry, so she took out the set of agate, thinking that she really wanted to ask for it, and she didn't care anyway.
However, if Dai Niang said directly, she would have given it, and she would have taken the initiative to paste it, and Yehuang would not be happy, thinking that the mother and daughter would treat themselves as cash cows, this heart was very unhappy, so she said with a smile on her mouth: "Help Dai Niang open her mouth, how can I not help, I will take back the jewelry, and I will prepare a set of festive and beautiful red heads for you before you get married." ”
Yehuang said and glanced at Xiao Kui, who immediately went to get the box on the table.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Dai Niang's eyes, but the jewelry had been taken back, so it could only be so, and she smiled lightly: "Then, then I'll wait for my sister-in-law to make arrangements." ”
"No problem." Yehuang smiled and took the initiative to hand over the purchase order to Mo Yan.
After reading it again and saying a word of hard work, Tan snorted and asked about the house, anyway, the excuse was nothing more than that the children were here, and they were familiar with the land or something.
Yehuang listened to it with a smile for a while, and when Tan's mouth was dry, he spoke: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please rest assured, being a child is filial piety, and it is impossible for you to live without a fixed place, so since you want to live in Jiang'an, then I will definitely choose a house similar to Mofu to honor the second elder." ”
Yehuang was talking, Lu's mother greeted at the door, it turned out that the third master Mo was also here, Yehuang thought that the care of the third master would always fall on the third master in the future, and the matter of the house would have to be discussed sooner or later, so he decided to mention it at this time.
After Mo came in to greet the second elder, he saw that Dai Niang teased herself: "I'm going to get married." ”
Dai Niang's face was full of pride, and she reached out and patted Mo's arm: "Don't just talk about me, my father and mother are also giving you Zhang Luo's family affairs." ”
Mo Gan smiled, looked at his father, sat aside with a poor face, and saw Yehuang looking at him, and greeted him again: "Sister-in-law." ”
Yehuang immediately smiled and nodded, and then opened his mouth to the Tan family: "Mother-in-law, whose marriage is the third master's marriage?" ”
Hearing this, Tan raised his chin slightly, and swept his eyes to Mo Yan and said: "Our Mo family is also a family with a head and a face, even if something happens to Nian'er, but there are still people to support it, the third master wants to marry a wife, since someone comes to kiss, I discussed it with your father-in-law today, went out to ask again, and finally asked for the birthday, and decided to marry the daughter of the He family and enter the door." ”
"What family?" Yehuang didn't know the situation in Jiang'an Mansion and could only ask Xiang Moyan: "Father, what is the situation of this He family?" ”
"The ancestors of the He family can be out of Zaifu, an absolute famous family, but it's a pity that after that, the biggest official of his family also achieved five products, and now in this generation, He Zhong was originally the county governor of the product, and followed Nian'er to get some political achievements, and the official inspector three years ago was finally promoted from five, and he became a Zhizhou, which is also a good helper of Nian'er. Now that Nian'er is gone, people still miss our family friendship and are willing to marry their daughter......"
As Mo Yan was talking, Mo suddenly stood up excitedly: "Dad, is his daughter's name He Jinlian?" ”
Mo Yan seemed to anticipate Mo's excitement, and smiled and brushed up the nonsense and said, "Naturally, it's her." Small, you're in luck. ”
Mo's face turned red, and then he bowed to the two old men: "Thank you, father, thank you, mother." ”
Seeing this, Yehuang looked at Dai Niang in surprise, and Dai Niang hooked her lips and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I don't know this He Jinlian? ”
Night Phoenix nodded: "Yes, I don't know." At the moment, I spit out the other half of the words in my heart: I only know Pan Jinlian.
"That's a famous beauty in Jiang'an, but because the ancestor has a Zaifu, this family is high, also known as: Gaomen Jinlian."
Yehuang was speechless when he heard it, and he could only whisper in his heart: "Return Ximen Jinlian."
"Son, you are lucky to be able to marry the first beauty of Jiang'an." Mo Yan sighed, but Tan opened his mouth: "Beauty is not beautiful, that's it." ”
Tan's words made Yehuang feel a little wrong, she remembered that Mo Ji told her that the Tan family was very afraid of marrying the powerful, for fear that she would suffer a loss, when the eldest brother was able to marry the eldest sister-in-law, it was also because the eldest brother died and begged for it, and Mo Ji took the opportunity not to be calculated by the Huo family because of this, let's let Mo marry a wealthy family this time?
Yehuang was puzzled, and Tan's next sentence was an answer: "Son, I asked the master to count your eight characters, she has the life of prosperous Sun Xianghuo, our Mo family is not prosperous, if you want to fight for me, it will not be in vain that we found this family for you." ”
Mo immediately buried his head: "Mother, I haven't married yet, why do you tell me this......"
Tan glanced at Yehuang stupidly: "Alas, I'm in a hurry, I can't do it, it's been half a year, and your brother and sister-in-law haven't even ......made a move."
Yehuang was speechless for a moment, so he could only hurriedly speak: "That, the third master is going to marry a wife, and the three rooms are also going to be lively, I hear that the He family is from a big family, but I am afraid that in the future, I will marry a maid and daughter-in-law to bring a lot of people in, since it is to buy a new house, I will simply give more silver, and make a bigger one, so that the third master will not fall in front of his daughter-in-law, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law will also live comfortably." ”
Yehuang took the initiative to say that he would pay more money to buy a better house, and the old couple was naturally happy, and immediately nodded and praised her for having a heart, but Yehuang turned his head and said to Chongmo: "Third master, your second brother is now a Beijing official but he went to Shou County to deal with things, and it is difficult for the capital to have a place to stay, so my parents-in-law are afraid that you will take care of them, so this time the money for our second room is all out, one is for the filial piety of the parents-in-law, and the other is to hope that you will not worry about the future." ”
"In the future?" Mo was stunned: "Sister-in-law means ......"
"We pay for this house in the second room, buy it for my father-in-law and mother-in-law and you to live in three rooms, please bother to greet the second elder, he will be two years old, this house, we don't want one, all of them are your property."
As soon as Yehuang's words came out, Mo's eyes lit up, and Tan and Mo Yan looked at each other and felt that Yehuang was very sensible at the moment, and there was a smile on their faces. "So, if I and the second master are not in Jiang'an, we can't serve the second elder well, you three rooms must bother, of course, this is not that we will leave it alone, every year in the future, our second room will give the second old man a pension silver, one hundred taels, enough for the second old man to spend, in the future, after the second old man will be a hundred years later, the family property and the things left behind will all belong to your third room, how about it?"
It's a great thing for Night Phoenix to say that. In the past, when the family was separated, were there fewer brothers who turned against each other? Now I don't want anything in the second room, and I also pay to buy a house for the second old man to provide for the elderly, and in the future, I will return to the third room, and I will give a hundred taels of service silver every year, isn't this pie in the sky?
At this moment, don't say that Mo is excited and doesn't know what to say, that is, Tan and Mo Yan both feel that this old second daughter-in-law is simply the most filial person in the world, and they directly forgot about the fact that they were not on the road just now. There are good things, Mo naturally will not refuse, and he will say yes at the moment.
So Yehuang struck while the iron was hot, and actually asked Xiaokui to prepare a pen and paper, and wrote a maintenance agreement at the moment, writing out all the previous words. Then she blew the ink and said to the people in the house: "This agreement is written out, it is nothing more than to prove the sincerity and filial piety of our second room, if our second room is violated in the future, there is no money or inheritance, you can go to the yamen to discuss the law, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law can also get a guarantee with this, and enjoy the days with peace of mind." ”
Tan and Mo Yan were very excited at the moment, they completely liked Yehuang from the bottom of their hearts, they never expected the old second daughter-in-law to think about them so much, so they immediately praised Yehuang again, and invited the new prefect who lived in front to make a witness, and both sides signed and sealed. The agreement was witnessed, and the Yamen scribe also made a special transcription book, which was very much given to the Mo family, and Mo Yan sent the new adult out with a smile, and Yehuang also retired.
As soon as she returned to the courtyard, Xiaokui couldn't help but open her mouth: "My second grandmother, don't you keep saying that you don't plan to be Guanyin, this paper went out, but it cost so much money to go out, what are you ......?"
Yehuang looked at her and smiled: "You take this agreement and then speak" Xiaokui heard the words and immediately went into the house to light the lamp to see your agreement, about half an hour later she patted her head and read: "The second room is difficult to fulfill filial piety because of the distance, Gu gives one hundred taels of silver every year to make filial piety silver for all expenses for a year, if there is a balance, it is all up to the in-laws, never ask for a penny, and because one hundred taels of silver is eighty percent of the Mo family's second master, Mo Ji, so do not pay more." Xiaokui blinked: "Second grandma, you are a gag." ”
Yehuang smiled and raised his eyebrows: "That's, if I don't stop my mouth, even if there are gold and silver mountains, there will be a free day." The third master has nothing serious to do now, and he can't even afford his own fault, it's hard to make a big deal, and I can't see anything at the moment, that's because the family is still thick, and we are still in front of us, but if I go to the capital with the second master, I don't care about it here, three years and five years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pay. I only hope that the wife he married has a rich family background and is as willing as my sister-in-law, otherwise it will ......"
Yehuang didn't go on, what will happen in the future, some things are actually not difficult to guess. "So you spend some silver now, and do all your filial piety, and if you want to take it from you again in the future, it will be difficult."
Yehuang nodded: "Our parents gave birth to us and raised us, even if there are some bumps, but the responsibility of filial piety is sloppy, so it is natural to spend more money to buy a good house and let them live comfortably; One hundred taels of filial piety silver every year, even the delicacies of the mountains and seas are enough to eat, eat well, dress well, live well, and then in the land they are familiar with, friends and neighbors are also comfortable enough, do not hold their breath, this is the biggest filial piety we can give In fact, I also know that it is right to serve in front, but we can't serve in front, first, my identity, second, the capital is not a place where people like them who don't know the depth can stay, and third, it is also the most critical, I can't be their cash cow shaken by them, so, I'd rather take these out, Change the peace after that. ”
"That's right, but second grandma, you haven't discussed these with the second master, is this appropriate?"
Yehuang smiled: "I used all my silver to honor his father, and he took a big advantage." What's more, no one is bad for his father and mother, and he will only praise me if he treats me with such favorable conditions. What's more, he also knows the temperament of his parents, and he will know that my decision is the right one. ”
"As long as the second master doesn't blame you."
Xiao Kui said and suddenly tilted her head: "Actually, I don't understand, you help us people, tens of thousands of taels of silver are not ambiguous, why do you care about this?" ”
Yehuang smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Xiaokui's shoulder, "To help you, I hope you will take the right path, learn your skills, be self-reliant, and be able to face the scrutiny in a dignified manner, to put it bluntly, it is to spend money to learn skills to be a useful person, what will I do in the future, what kind of business will I do, that is also my right-hand man; But give it to them, once you get used to it, they will only become terrible leeches, parasitic and blood-sucking, useless, it will harm them, not to mention, my money is not easy to come by. ”
Xiao Kui looked at Yehuang with a trace of gratitude in his eyes, and pushed the box in his hand: "Then how to get this jewelry?" ”
"Go to the herb shop, the painting boat and the rouge shop and buy some cinnabar, send it to the potter, let them make a set of jewelry according to my head, and then send it to the carver to carve the pattern, oh, yes, festive, so it must be all festive patterns."
"Huh? You, do you want to make a set of noodles with cinnabar? Even if I run all down, I'm afraid it won't cost me more than three or two. ”
Xiaokui couldn't help but complain, but Yehuang spread his hands: "No way, who called me poor, eh, your work is good, or you come in person, you can save two taels of manual fees for those little ones." ”
Xiao Kui shook her head with a smile: "I really can't tell, are you generous or slammed!" ”
