Chapter 51 Teach a Man to Fish

He Ningxin found out about Aunt Xie's matter, and felt angry and funny, so she first ignored the matter and began to talk to Changxinghou about Jian Shiyun's dowry that year.

Jian Lao also received Jian Shiyun's dowry list that year. Before He Ningxin got married, Jian Lao sent someone to the Marquis Mansion of Changxing in Longxi to ask for Jian Shiyun's dowry, and asked the steward to take the dowry list to make up for Aunt Xie's compensation. The steward stayed in Longxi for two months, empty-handed, saying that Chen Liang, the Marquis of Changxing, promised that he would personally go to Beijing and return the dowry to his aunt's wife Jian Shiyun.

But now that Chen Liang, the Marquis of Changxing, has come to the capital, he keeps saying that he wants to take Jian Shiyun home, but he doesn't say a word about the dowry that was sought by Aunt Xie back then.

"Lord Changxinghou, my aunt said that if the dowry is not paid back for a day, she will not return to the Changxing Marquis Mansion in Longxi for a day. - Please take care of the dowry before you come to pick it up. He Ningxin smiled, planning to invite them first. Then send someone to Longxi to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of Aunt Xie.

Changxing Hou Chen Liang is a middle-aged man who is a little white and fat, his stomach has been slightly up, he is wearing a somewhat narrow dark crimson narrow-sleeved regular clothes, and a white jade belt stretches out a furrow around the bulging waistline. Fortunately, he is still quite tall, so he still looks a little imposing, and he is lighter than his actual age.

After listening to He Ningxin's words, Changxinghou was a little worried about the dowry, and he would talk about it later. You let Shiyun come out, I have something to say. "I put up my uncle's shelf, and I was not very polite to He Ningxin.

He Ningxin Changxinghou just got the permission of the saint yesterday, and he entered the palace to see Chen Yilan, probably because his daughter was very favored in the palace. After the palace, the momentum is different. When they look at people, they all raise their heads and squint their eyes. Unlike when he first came to Beijing, the tall man was hunched over his waist when he saw everyone, and he smiled when he saw everyone, which was really respectful.

He Ningxin secretly shook her head in her heart. Such a man, if Aunt Jian Shiyun can't completely pinch him this time, it would be better to leave it alone. Otherwise, he will also be rubbed with him, and he may have to send a letter twice in three days, and let Jian Feiyang go to call the shots for her. - He Ningxin doesn't want to clean up the mess all the time.

The wretched will have something to hate. Let's just say that my aunt Jian Shiyun, if there is a daughter who is a nobleman in the palace, and a nephew who is the governor of Yipin Zhenguo and the governor of Yipin Zhongjun, she still has to let others rub her, He Ningxin doesn't mind raising her in the Zhenguo Mansion, and the pension is over. Or if Jian Shiyun is willing, he can also get away and find a good family to marry again, and he can't spend his whole life in a place where others can be bullied.

Hearing Changxinghou's unkind words, He Ningxin lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time, raised her head and said with a smile Changxinghou is reasonable, I will go to persuade my aunt. - You go back to your room to rest. Aunt xìng is stubborn, I'm afraid it will take some effort to get her to come to see you. For Changxinghou Chen Liang, no one in the Jian family called him "uncle", and they all called him "Changxinghou".

Changxinghou nodded magnificently, "um", and said that it would be annoying to his nephew. "You're welcome at all.

He Ningxin smiled and asked Changxinghou to go out, and went to the Wutong Courtyard where Jian Shiyun lived.

In the embroidery room in the south wing of the Wutong Courtyard, Jian Shiyun was sitting in front of the embroidery frame in front of the window, looking at the sky divided into a grid by the sandalwood window of the fine lattice in a daze, and the slender and straight plane tree outside the courtyard.

"What is my aunt doing?" He Ningxin stood at the door, coughed lightly, and asked with a smile.

Jian Shiyun was shocked, and then turned around, and saw that it was He Ningxin standing at the door, hurriedly got up to greet him, and said Come in, it was windy outside, and she flashed her face carefully. ”

He Ningxin walked in with a smile, looked at the embroidery frame, and saw a sika deer that had just been embroidered with an outline, but it was already very delicate and vivid.

"Auntie's embroidery work is really unacceptable." He Ningxin gently stroked the ancient fragrant satin on the embroidery frame with her hand and praised softly.

Jian Shiyun walked to the door of the embroidery room, asked the maid who was waiting outside to make tea and take snacks, and praised He Ningxin again. Auntie, I don't have the ability, I loved embroidery when I was a girl. When I was at home, my sister-in-law personally instructed me and helped me find a lot of embroidery girls released from the needle workshop in the palace to be masters, so I learned one or two. - But compared to my sister-in-law, my embroidery work is really not worth mentioning. ”

He Ningxin's heart moved, put down what she wanted to say first, and followed Jian Shiyun's words and asked curiously Aunt Did you say that my mother is also a good embroiderer? ”

Jian Shiyun covered her sleeves and said with a smile, how can she be a good hand - you don't know, the sister-in-law is the eldest daughter of Fan Yang Lu's family, and before she came out of the cabinet, her embroidery work was already superb. At that time, Bo Sanniang, the most famous embroidery girl in Jiangnan, also made a special trip to Fan Yang to ask her sister-in-law for advice. It is said that after Fan Yang, Bo Sanniang's embroidery skills rose sharply, and the hand-created Linglong Pavilion is now the most famous embroidery workshop in the Great Qi Dynasty. ”

He Ningxin was even more surprised, it was difficult to connect a simple old man with delicate skin, green fingers, and soft as nothing, with a person with superb embroidery skills.

"I've never heard of that." He Ningxin groaned.

Jian Shiyun glanced at her with a smile, how magnificent was the Dao Fan Yang Lu clan back then, these things would be spread to everyone outside? - That Bo Sanniang didn't spit out a word, and the Lu family wouldn't let outsiders know. I can, and my sister-in-law told me. ”

It's a pity that the age is too long, and needless to say, Fan Yang Lu's family has been ruined by Empress Dowager Pang. The old servants of the Jian family are also dead, and they can't be found for what they sold, otherwise they can ask.

"That mother doesn't embroider now?" He Ningxin asked curiously, Jian Lao's fingers were not like the fingers of a person who was good at embroidery.

Jian Shiyun tilted her head and thought about it, a little unconvinced, probably because it was too hard to go back to her ancestral hometown, so she put aside her embroidery skills. You, these things, don't practice often, and you will inevitably get angry. I haven't used an embroidery needle for more than ten years, and now I still feel very rusty when I use it again. ”

He Ningxin stood in front of the embroidery frame, looked down carefully, and praised that although the stitching method looked a little rusty, the spacing, color, and level, these most important things, were all unmessy, and it was obvious that there was a foundation. - It is easy to distinguish from the newly practiced needles of people who don't understand it at all. ”

Jian Shiyun saw that He Ningxin said something strange, and also looked at the embroidery frame, and said that those who had practiced and those who had not practiced were of course different. If it has a foundation, even if it is left for ten or eight years, it is very easy to pick it up again. It's not as good as a person who doesn't know anything, picking up a needle is the same as holding a mallet, at first glance, it's just a green onion in a pig's nose, pretending to be an elephant" Speaking of embroidery, Jian Shiyun regained a little self-confidence, and made fun of the proverbs of Longxi Mansion.

The two talked and laughed for a while, and He Ningxin saw that Jian Shiyun was in a much more cheerful mood, so she pulled her to sit down and said Auntie, Ning Xin is discussing something today. ”

Jian Shiyun's smiling face froze suddenly, and after a while, he asked in a panic But are you going to drive me away? ”

He Ningxin hurriedly said, what did aunt say? If my aunt is willing, she will live here for the rest of her life. - Is it just that my aunt really wants to live with us for the rest of her life? He Ningxin, Jian Shiyun actually still thought about it, but she couldn't wipe her face away, and she was worried about being bullied by the people of the Marquis of Changxing, so she couldn't make up her mind.

Jian Shiyun sat on the soft couch under the north wall of the embroidery room, and said with a wooden face, You are all it, and you still ask me to do it? ”

He Ningxin sighed and shook her head, sat next to Jian Shiyun, and said to her aunt in her heart, not Ning Xin's arrogance. It's just that my aunt has to stand up for this. - We can help my aunt, but if my aunt blindly counts on others, then the Changxing Marquis Mansion is in Longxi, the sky is high and the road is far away, even if we can support it, we have to rush to it."

Jian Shiyun's face was uncertain, she lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and said softly. But I haven't been in the Changxing Marquis Mansion for nearly ten years, and now, even if I do, I'm alone, and my two fists are hard to beat with four hands......"

This already makes some sense.

He Ningxin smiled and patted Jian Shiyun's shoulder and said to Jian Shiyun; "As long as my aunt is willing to give it a try, Ning Xin can help my aunt come up with a few ideas."

Jian Shiyun thought about it, raised her head, and already had a smile on her face, Dao Ningxin was resourceful, and my aunt listened to me. ”

He Ningxin smiled and said "Don't dare", and said that it was just a few of Ning Xin's small thoughts, and her aunt listened to it and thought about it. ”

Saying that, He Ningxin said to Jian Shiyun that if Aunt Jian Shiyun still wanted to return to Changxinghou to be the head of the house, she would first get back the dowry. Ning Xin carefully looked at her aunt's dowry list back then, except for the cloth embroidery that was sent with her, she should be able to accept everything else. "Those cloth embroideries, after so many years of wear and tear, even if you take them, they are not good, don't want them. In addition, the silver, jewelry, antiques, granges, and shops should be collected. The furniture should still be in the Hou Mansion, but there is no need to think about it for the time being.

At that time, the grange and shop that Jian Shihong, the old town prince, gave to his sister-in-law were all good fields in the south of the Yangtze River, and the shops were also in the south of the Yangtze River, and they were all cloth villages and embroidery workshops. Thinking that Jian Shiyun likes these, and it is easy to take care of these familiar trades.

"In addition to getting back the deed paper of the field and the shop, as well as the production of the field and the profit of the shop in the past ten years, all of them must be handed over." In the meantime, He Ningxin has already taken out two lists, both of which are estimated at the production of Jiangnan Liangtian and the profit of the shop in the past ten years, but it is just taken from the current median, which is already a considerable amount of silver.

Jian Shiyun looked at it for a long time, and sighed and said This is almost all the family property of the Marquis of Changxing, you asked them to take it out? ”

This was an accident for He Ningxin, although this property was a lot, but it was not placed in He Ningxin's eyes, she thought that these were just taken by Aunt Xie, and it was easy to take them.

However, in this way, the Marquis of Changxing's mansion has been reduced to relying on a dowry, and it should be a long time since he could make ends meet. In this way, with so much property, if Aunt Xie hadn't been instructed by someone with a heart, she would have been able to eat it alone?

He Ningxin was silent for a long time, and said Since my aunt, the entire Changxinghou is eating and using my aunt's dowry, why does my aunt feel that she can't straighten her waist? ”

Jian Shiyun glanced at He Ningxin's solemn little face, and said Since I am married, I am a family. Why should the family be so clearly divided? This is what my sister-in-law often talked to her back then. She was just unlucky not to run into a good man like her big brother.

He Ningxin felt ridiculous again, and couldn't help but pull Jian Shiyun's hand, Aunt Dao, kindness is only useful to good people. The person who has the heart of a wolf and a dog's lungs is a man who seeks skin with a tiger, and they do not spit out bones when they eat meat. ”

Jian Shiyun blushed a little embarrassed, bowed her head and said nothing.

"So be it. My aunt went to see Changxinghou first and told him about the dowry. How much to lose first. If you really can't get it, sign the rest of the IOU. My aunt doesn't have to accept this IOU, so I'll let Feiyang be a wicked person and keep it for my aunt. Just worried about being coaxed by that Changxing Hou, Jian Shiyun was soft-hearted and was cheated by him.

Jian Shiyun laughed and said that this method is good. In the future, if they don't deal with me, I only need to mention my nephew's IOU to see who dares to be dishonest."

The older generation of the Marquis of Changxing Mansion is gone, and now the Marquis of Changxing is in charge. If Changxinghou lowered his head, Jian Shiyun's life would naturally be better.

He Ningxin also laughed, and then said the second thing, that is, if the Marquis of Changxing has no money to repay his aunt's dowry, then Aunt Xie will have to sell into the teaching workshop and sell herself to pay off her debts. ”

Jian Shiyun was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't do it—where can this put the face of the Marquis of Changxing? and the daughter born to Aunt Xie, and she will not be able to be a person in the future."

He Ningxin had never seen such a person who would rather suffer losses than hurt others, and she had a good impression of Jian Shiyun in her heart. It's just that now is not the time for a woman's benevolence, so Aunt Rong Yu of Zhengsedao, the Marquis of Changxing has already returned the deed paper of the Xie family, and she has also made a file in the official mansion, and she has nothing to do with the Marquis of Changxing's mansion. In addition, so that my aunt knows that this Xie family is now being raised by the Marquis of Changxing as a foreign house, except that he does not live in the Hou Mansion, and the food and clothing are no different from before. ”

In fact, the degree of food and clothing of the Xie family. He Ningxin just said casually that her people hadn't gone to Longxi Mansion yet, and it wasn't at all how the Xie family was doing now. However, looking at the appearance of Changxinghou, he must have been pinched by the Xie family. Logically, the Xie family will naturally have a bad time.

And Jian Shiyun wants the Marquis Mansion of Changxing to live a dignified life, this Xie family has to be disposed of, it is just killing chickens and monkeys. Xie stepped on Jian Shiyun's mother and daughter to death back then, so he should accept the end of today's bamboo basket for water. - You can't see thieves eating meat, and thieves being beaten. And for He Ningxin, she has always been just if she doesn't make a move, and once she makes a move, the other party will never have a chance to turn over.

When Jian Shiyun heard that the Marquis of Changxing raised the Xie family as an outer house, her face was a few layers more gray, and she looked a little disheartened.

He Ningxin observed the words and looks, and came up with another idea: If my aunt is cold, let's squeeze out the Changxing Marquis Mansion, get back the dowry, and marry someone else. - I can't mess with these people. ”
