Chapter 161, Ziqing Year (2)
Ziqing listened to Qiu Yu's words, frowned, and said, "Sister-in-law, what kind of rich man is he?" But it's a little stronger than the average person, where is it said that you are rich? Dare to love my aunt and learn everything from you when he comes home? I don't even know what's in there, and I haven't been there. ”
"This is not called a rich family, you look at what you use, wear, wear, which one we have seen, all the dowry of the aunt and grandmother in the family is not worth as much as a hairpin on your head, and all our clothes are not worth as much as a piece of clothing on your body. You said that you and Ziping, when you were a child, you picked up her leftover clothes to wear, and none of them were not broken, and now, the two of you are one in heaven and one on earth, and she didn't come today. Qiu Yu said, not seeing the darkening faces of Tian and Chunyu next to him.
"Sister-in-law, you are wrong, it is my fate that I can marry Ziqing, and Ziqing is the lucky star of my life." Lin Kangping took over at the other table and said.
"This kid is really good at talking. Kangping, your aunt is doing well. What is he most serious about keeping accounts, don't look at the man, the calculation is fine and detailed, not wasted at all, I heard that your garden is all he keeps accounts and manages the accounts, how about it? If you want me to say, just let him be your housekeeper, I heard that big families have housekeepers. Qiu Yu took the opportunity to say to Lin Kangping.
"Sister-in-law, you can really laugh, I can afford to hire a housekeeper for my little belongings, and I don't have to let people know that I laugh off my big teeth." Lin Kangping replied.
"Ziqing, do you think you can find something else to do for Sanmao? This time, I'll find something lighter, and don't sign that contract, after suffering this loss, he will definitely do it well, forget about the previous ones. That time, I and your aunt and father dug up the pond mud, but they really suffered a little and became a lot more sensible. After he returned home from you, he looked for more than half a month in Anzhou City, and there was no suitable job. If you don't let Osmanthus come and be a maid for you for two years, it's okay. Anyway, she is still young, she is only eleven years old this year, and she still has a few years to say goodbye. Just to earn some dowry money. With such a big garden, you must have to buy people. Isn't your own family more at ease? Sanmao can sweep the garden for you every day, and osmanthus will wash your clothes and clean up the house or something. Simao went to your father's school to recognize a few words during the day, and came back in the afternoon to help you do some work with Sanmao, so you don't need to be paid, just eat and live. Chunyu hurriedly asked.
"Chunyu, don't think about the idea of beating Ziqing again, don't mention the impossible again. lest we speak badly and hurt the affection of our relatives. Ziqing hadn't spoken yet, and Shen was afraid that Ziqing didn't know the depths, so he hurriedly refused.
"Auntie, my house is not a wolf's den." Ziqing said.
"What do you mean, who said your house is a wolf's den?" Qiu Yu asked.
"Then why does my aunt think that our family specializes in white-eyed wolves. I've raised several of them, and they've been bitten, so why do you still stupidly think that we don't learn a lesson and raise them? Ziqing said.
Chunyu was really annoyed when she heard this. Looking at the surrounding clan elders, some of the words of defense are unspeakable, and so is the Tian family. glared at Ziqing fiercely, the eldest daughter-in-law of the third mother-in-law's family was also a good talker, so she hurriedly pulled the words over, and said to Shen with a smile: "The second sister-in-law is really good, this Ziqing we watched grow up, who doesn't boast a few words when she sees it, when she is five or six years old, the second sister-in-law is confinement, and in winter, she will go to the pond to wash clothes." That little hand, frozen like a carrot, we have to help her, she said that the aunt helped once and couldn't help two or three times, or she learned it by herself, and it has been more than ten years. This kid has finally come out, it's really a female college eighteen changes, and she is getting more and more beautiful. ”
"No, I've encountered it several times, I can't bear to watch such a young child do things, stretch out his hand and do things, how can I use a little baby to suffer this sin, tsk, it's really a sin." The third aunt said.
Ziqing looked at the faces of Tian and the three aunts, red, white and black, and really didn't know what to say, so she could only smile wryly.
At that table, Yan Renda toasted with Lin Kangping from several seats, and said: "Niece and son-in-law, Ziqing's three aunts, now my family is having the most difficult time, look at what your aunt can do for you?" Look at you, you look like you're rich and noble, you're so generous, you look rich, your big garden, my family Sanmao said, it's bigger than the rich man's house in our village, you leak a little from your fingers, we can live well for a while, as the saying goes, you pluck the hair, it's thicker than our waist, for the sake of my niece's sunny face, you can pull the hair and send it to me. ”
Lin Kangping frowned when he heard this, looked at the full house, and forced a smile: "Then the eldest aunt went to ask Da Mao if he was willing to come and do something?" ”
The old man glanced at Yan Renda and scolded: "This yellow soup has been poured into the dog's stomach again, and I don't know what to say after eating two cups, so it's not good to go down and drink a cup of strong tea." After scolding, he smiled at several old men on the table and said: "Let all the uncles and brothers laugh, today is for my granddaughter's birthday, everyone must have fun, come, drink." ”
"Last time, the little girl's matter was thanks to the help of a few people, Ruixiang thanked everyone here, and today I prepared a glass of thin wine to show my gratitude, Ruixiang respects you." Zeng Ruixiang saw that one of the elders looked a little annoyed, and hurriedly picked up his wine glass and stood up and said.
Zhou Yunjiang hurriedly said: "Come, Kang Ping, I have helped you do things for several months, and I met you in a hurry last time, the masters you invited are very powerful, we have never seen the furniture style, Mr. Tong is even more powerful, so the broken reed lake let him clean up like this, and it turned into a beautiful garden." There are peach blossoms in spring, lotus flowers in summer, osmanthus flowers in autumn jade, and plum blossoms in winter. There are a lot of flowers and plants in the garden that are not famous, so I pick them up, I enjoy living too much, and Mr. Tong is really knowledgeable in his stomach. ”
"Really? My house was just built this spring, and there is also a small yard, please take a look at it and pick it up? Yan Renda asked without opening his eyes.
"Okay, his price is one hundred taels of silver at a time, you send the silver first." Lin Kangping didn't raise his eyelids and said coldly.
"One hundred taels?" Several people asked in surprise, including Zeng Ruixiang.
"Then you can't get seven or eight hundred taels down from this yard, and then buy some ornaments, a thousand taels of silver may not be enough, it's strange to make it so good, my good girl, I don't dare to think about it in my life." Zhou Yunjiang said.
"Boy, okay, I can't see it. You really have a bit of a family background, and you can toss it, my granddaughter is really good, not bad. When are you going to get married? The old man patted Lin Kangping on the shoulder and said.
"Of course, the sooner the better. It's better next spring, Ah Gong, what do you say? Lin Kangping also put on a smiling face and hurriedly asked, but said in his heart: "Why don't you continue to pretend, only a thousand taels of silver in exchange for a smiling face?" ”
"Not next spring, Zilu will get married at the end of the year, and Ziqing will have to wait until next autumn at the earliest. Zishou will take the exam next spring. From February to June, where did you get the time to prepare? Besides, Ziqing is still young, and we want to stay for an extra year. Zeng Ruixiang refused.
Lin Kangping looked at the old man pitifully when he heard this, and the old man couldn't help but smile and said, "Boy, what can you do if you wait for half a year?" I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so on my granddaughter's terms, you can earn an extra half a year's silver. Prepare the dowry well, let my old man open his eyes, and show off. ”
"Ah Gong. It's me who got married, what are you showing? Lin Kangping muttered.
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Lin Kangping slapped the old man in exchange for a slap on the shoulder.
When the women's table heard that Ziqing's garden would cost a thousand taels of silver, they all looked at Ziqing, Ziqing waved her hand and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know." That's his business, probably not that much. ”
Gui Ying's eyes were full of resentment when she looked at Lin Kangping, and Osmanthus was staring at Ziqing's clothes and jewelry.
"Ziqing, let the second aunt go shopping after getting married. My second aunt also stayed for two days, enjoying the blessings with my niece and seeing the rich man's family. Xia Yu said.
"Second aunt, depending on what you said, you can come whenever you want to live."
"Why do you have to wait until you get married, and go now if you want to see it." Qiu Yu said.
Shen was afraid that Ziqing would be embarrassed. Busy said: "Okay, okay, isn't it just a garden?" How can it be so unscored, you haven't cleaned it up yet, eat. ”
After the meal, the third mother-in-law and a few guests in the village left first, the Shen family sent a basket of oranges and a basket of eggs to each family, the Tian family and Chunyu were the last to go, Yan Renda also smiled at Lin Kangping, Zeng Ruixiang said with a straight face: "Chunyu, see if your man has poured too much, you don't want to come over on this occasion in the future, there is no shame, and I want to take advantage of the fact that outsiders can't erase my feelings, forcing Kangping and Ziqing to agree to your unreasonable requests, you still think that I will be like before after the matter has passed, still treats you as a girl, and you make a mistake. It's only been a few days, and you've forgotten the promise you made to us, each family has its own life, is this a family living its own life? I will say it again here today, except for the children who get married, don't come to my door if you have nothing to do. Even if we come to the door, we won't accept it. ”
"Didn't the second brother mean that he wanted to close us out, it's not that he hasn't closed it, last time we were kind enough to send you a letter, didn't the second sister-in-law not even let the door in? It's not just once or twice. The second brother talked too much, I am also a person who is dozens of years old and has a daughter-in-law, you don't want to, just say it, why bother to turn over the old accounts again. Today, my mother really asked us to come, we thought that maybe it was to give us a chance, everyone will get along well in the future, and no one should turn over the old accounts. Your Ziqing is really good at talking, why did we become white-eyed wolves, this is also what a niece should say? Let's go, can't we? Chunyu's eyes were still a little resentful, and her tone of voice was a little high.
"That's it, Xiang'er, I really called your sister here today, you said you don't need to give gifts, I can't leave her family alone, there are many people and lively, what's wrong?" Tian said.
"What do you think you're talking about? If there is a hole in the ground today, I want to get into it, look at you two mothers, what have you done? No one comes empty-handed, your aunt of a child, grandmother of a child, but empty-handed, and brought so many people to eat for nothing, but the head was kicked by a donkey, and he didn't speak through his brain, and let outsiders see the jokes, my old face, I didn't have a place to put it. Hurry up and go home, the second family is also tired for a day. The old man sighed.
Tian still wanted to say something, but was pulled away by the old man, Chunyu also helped Yan Renda away, and Yan Renda also muttered: "I haven't received the gift yet, everyone else has a gift in return." "I was kicked by the old man when he turned around. (To be continued)
