Chapter 30: A Blessing and a Curse
The relationship between the second young master of the dealer and the third young master of the dealer was decided in this way.
The second aunt's wife began to hype up the marriage of the second young master, and the house was full of lights and joy.
That night, Yueniang helped the eldest lady keep the accounts, and suddenly raised her head in surprise, "Madam, the second aunt and wife actually raised five thousand taels of silver to handle the marriage?" ”
The eldest lady replied indifferently while dialing the abacus: "When I was forced by the clan association, I agreed with Xiumei that although Xinchuan will be a concubine in the future, all the treatment will be the same as that of a concubine. ”
Yueniang nodded, she also knew that although the master left a will, the dealer only left orphans and widows, and the dealer clan united to take charge of the dealer's business. The eldest lady knew that once these people were allowed to go deeper, the hard work of the master's life would be torn apart. Naturally, I will not sit idly by and watch this happen.
In order to fight against the will in the hands of the eldest wife, the other party tried to win over Li Xiumei, Li Xiumei's son Zhuang Xinchuan, although he is a concubine, is the most reasonable heir, plus the power of Li Xiumei's mother's family, the eldest wife can't hold it down no matter how powerful she is.
Later, the eldest lady found Li Xiumei to persuade Li Xiumei to unite with herself, but Li Xiumei was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and took the opportunity to make many requests to force the eldest lady to agree.
These conditions are that all the treatment of the second room will be comparable to that of the big house. The second aunt is in charge of the inner courtyard of the dealer's house. If the second young master is worthy of the great responsibility, he will be the leader of the prosperous world in the future.
The third is the inevitable result, and the second one, the eldest lady is in charge of the tea shop, and she really does not have the mental strength to pay attention to the affairs of the inner court, and as for the first one, it is not so important in times of crisis.
Yes, for so many years, the eldest lady has kept her promises, and it is precisely because of this that the arrogance of the second room is getting higher and higher.
"When the second young master becomes a relative, I'm afraid that the second aunt's wife will make some moves!" Yueniang said with some concern.
The second young master has become a family, and there is such a strong Yue family, the second aunt and wife will definitely force the eldest lady to hand over the position of head of the family.
The eldest lady raised her hand and plucked the wick of the lamp oil, and with a clatter, the lamp sparkled abruptly, illuminating her calm face.
"For so many years, I have been preparing for retirement, and I have also bought land and property for Nobuhiko, and it would be best if they could treat me Nobuhiko well in the future, and if not, Nobuhiko's life would not be a problem. In the future, I will find a reliable and capable Yue family for him, find a kind and considerate girl to take care of him, and the young couple will live smoothly, even if I am a hundred years later, I have nothing to worry about. If Xinchuan can take care of the prosperous era and carry forward the prosperous world, the more than 1,000 people who are loyal to our dealer under the prosperous world can have food and clothing, and they will die old. In the future, I will also have an explanation for my lord in the next hundred years. But ......"
The eldest lady frowned, sighed softly, stood up, and walked over to her husband's portrait. She looked up at her husband's remains, remembering his dying words
He grabbed her hand tightly, as if he had exhausted the last shred of strength in his body, and his thin face was full of worry,
"Huaying, it is a blessing and a curse for me to earn such a big industry, if it falls into the hands of my descendants, and the family business is small, I am afraid that it will be implicated in a great disaster because of this huge wealth, and it will endanger the net worth of the banker's life, then I will not be blind under Jiuquan, Huaying, the future of the prosperous family is elected, you must be cautious!"
Thinking of this, the eldest lady whispered: "When I was a child, Xinchuan was also smart and cute, surrounded me, called my mother affectionately, and read and read very carefully, even the lord said, if this continues, the future of the prosperous world may be on him......"
Yueniang took a fan, walked to the eldest lady, shook it up and down, and fanned away mosquitoes and flies for her.
"But since the death of my master, I have a sudden increase in the number of things in my hands, and I have neglected Xinchuan, and year after year, Xinchuan is no longer the well-behaved and sensible child in my memory......
Yueniang shook her fan and said softly: "How can this be blamed on Mrs., Mrs. is not three-headed and six-armed, for the sake of the tea shop, she almost broke her body, she is the second aunt's wife, and she has made him into the character he is today, and he is hostile to his wife......"
Mrs. smiled bitterly, "They always think that I want to fight, but they don't want to think about it, I am a woman, this age, and I only have a son like Nobuhiko, what do I have to fight, who can I give it to if I get it?" To Nobuhiko? That's not for his good, it's for him! I have been in this position for so long, on the one hand, I want to give an explanation to the dealer and the deceased master, and on the other hand, I also want to take this opportunity to pave a smooth back road for Nobuhiko. Now, Nobuhiko's back road has been paved, I really want to let go of everything and live a relaxed life with Nobuhiko, but if I really do this, how can I be worthy of my lord's trust and entrustment to me......"
The eldest lady looked at the old man's remains, and her face was resolute, "Today's Xinchuan must not be able to bear the burden of the prosperous world, whether it is character or ability, it needs to be improved and strengthened, I will give him another chance, if he really can't do it, he can only promote Xinzhong!" ”
Speaking of this, the eldest lady remembered something, turned her head to look at Yueniang, and asked, "By the way, didn't you investigate Qin Tian's life experience a few days ago, what was the result?" ”
Speaking of this, Yueniang frowned slightly and said, "Yueniang is about to return to Mrs......"
One afternoon two days later.
On this day, Yueniang did not arrange for Qin Tian to go out with his wife. Before three moments, Cuiwei found Qin Tian and handed her a food box.
"This is the iced sour plum soup that we just made in our kitchen, you can send it to the eldest young master."
"Big young master...... Qin Tian took it with a little numbness, she wanted to say, can she go to another person, but she also knew that she was just a little girl, and she couldn't really start a dyeing workshop just because Cuiwei gave her a few colors.
Thinking of this, Qin Tian didn't say anything, looked at Cui Wei and smiled sweetly, turned around and walked out.
The Qingsong Courtyard where the eldest young master lives is also in the east of the Zhuang Mansion, not far from the courtyard of the eldest lady.
There is a small piece of pine trees planted next to the green pine courtyard, which is verdant and straight, and there are few flowers and plants around it, so it is not as beautiful as other courtyards. There are very few people here on weekdays, so it seems very quiet.
Qin Tian carried the ebony carved food box, walked through the bluestone path between the pine forests, and saw the half-moon gate of the eldest young master's Qingpine Courtyard.
The door was closed, Qin Tian knocked on the door a few times, and a maid in green clothes and delicate eyebrows opened the door. Qin Tian explained his intentions, and the maid led her into the courtyard.
At the end of the courtyard is a small two-story building with hollow carved windows and large red columns. On the left side of the front of the house, a half-person high white marble stone, on the right side planted a big tree that two people hug together, the tree posture is beautiful, the crown is like an umbrella cover, the whole yard is shrouded in it, isolating the heat, it looks very cool.
Qin Tian has heard that this is a thousand-year-old tree, there are only four in total, all of which were transported from the southern rainforest at great expense when the old man Zhuang built the mansion, two are in the garden, one is in the yard of the eldest lady, and one is here!
The wealth of Zhuangfu is not made of gold and jade, and it looks inconspicuous, but if you pay attention to it, you will understand the style of the richest man in Yangcheng.
If nothing else, just the wooden furniture in the owner's room. The wood is first-class, not to mention, and they are all "yang carving", the general furniture is yin carving, that is, the furniture is carved first, and then the calligraphy and painting are carved out with a knife. However, the furniture of the dealer is convex regardless of the pattern or the lettering, and it is clearly designed before it is done, and this kind of effort and thought is not something that ordinary mansions can enjoy.
The dealer does not love the splendor, but loves these skills and elegance, but the cost of this is more frightening than the splendor.
Of course, these are all things that Qin Tian heard from Cuiwei, and she herself does not have this kind of insight.
