Chapter 40: Cents

Hearing Chen Bonian's question, Chen Qiaoqiao's heart felt a burst of pride for no reason, and said with a smile: "Yes, today's luck is very good, just in time for the emperor to issue an order to check the account books of this household, so I got all the silver back!" ”

Ye Wanrong couldn't help but exclaim, even Hu Feng was surprised, he got it all back? That's more than five hundred taels of silver, which is a lot of money for their Chen family!

Ye Wanrong couldn't help but be excited, "Mother-in-law, how are you going to divide this silver?" "With the silver, this Ye Wanrong's words are different, and she actually uses your words, this is the first time in the world!

"Divide what! This is the silver in the public, and it should be placed in the public in the public, how can it all be divided! Hu Feng said this to Chen Bonian, and now as long as Chen Bonian's words are spoken, he may be able to change this decision.

"Sister-in-law! That's not what I said, Wanrong's belly is about to give birth, and it's always good to have some silver by my side, besides, I am bound to get the position of this cangist, and I have to move around more, this is all a matter of spending silver! Chen Zhongkang couldn't help it, since Chen Bonian went to the Jingxi Forbidden Army and only became a small team leader, he understood that everything was up to him. For the frustration of the eldest brother, he is mixed with joy and sorrow, and the joy is that if he has something to do, he can steal the limelight from the eldest brother, and he will have more say in this family; The worry is that the eldest brother has a successful career and can pull him generally, but now everything has come to naught.

"That's right! The sister-in-law has her mother's family, so she naturally doesn't care about these little money, but our husband and wife are different, and if you drag your children and daughters, how good is it if you don't have some money! Three brothers and sisters! You also said something, aren't you Shuping waiting for money? Xu Huifang suddenly became at a loss, "This, mother-in-law and eldest brother are in charge!" "This statement is not there, I don't know what kind of words I will say if I am here, I don't know how many times I have complained in private, if only I had money.

Chen Qiaoqiao watched coldly, she hadn't spoken yet, they had already quarreled! This Ye Wanrong and Chen Zhongkang are a natural pair, they are so philistine and impatient! But although Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't get used to the couple, she wanted to stand by their side at this time, "Don't quarrel with each other!" Listen to Erniang say, Bo Nian, Er Niang's meaning This silver is still well divided, Bo Nian, you see that Si Zuo and Si Right are already so old, it is time to go to women's school, learn some basic etiquette, but you can't delay, if you can't find a good family in the future, your father will not be blind in the spirit of the sky. Therefore, I thought about it, there are five hundred and sixty taels of silver, one hundred and twenty taels for your three rooms and one room, and the remaining two hundred taels will be used for Si Zuo and Si You to study! What do you say? ”

Chen Qiaoqiao's words exploded, and Hu Feng suddenly scoffed, "Mother-in-law is really good at calculations!" Zuo and Siyou are still young, and the two hundred taels of silver are not pinched by the mother-in-law? Going to school? Where did you use so much? ”

"That's it, mother-in-law! They are just children, how can they be about the same as us adults? This is unfair! Ye Wanrong also snorted, expressing her dissatisfaction in her heart. Chen Bonian and Chen Zhongkang were thinking about the reasonableness of this matter.

"If you agree, the silver will be divided, if you don't agree, I will save it in the money bank tomorrow, and when I die, you will take it out and divide it slowly!" Chen Qiaoqiao knew that they would not give up. "You squirts! In the future, if Si Zuo and Si You marry well, will you also benefit! Look at your sister, this kind of appearance, it is definitely one in a hundred, if you train it well, you will not worry about the person who proposes marriage in the future will not break the threshold! “

Ye Wanrong stopped talking for a while, just kidding, save it to the money bank, and wait for Chen Qiaoqiao to die. When will Chen Qiaoqiao be a few years old this year, maybe they are all dead and she is still alive! So he stopped talking, Hu Feng wanted to say something, but was pulled by Chen Bonian, "Erniang is right!" In the past, we ignored the left and the right too much, and they really should go to women's school. Chen Bonian actually felt a little guilty, as the eldest brother, he hadn't planned for the two younger sisters, more precisely, he didn't seem to care about this pair of sisters at all, unconsciously they were already so old.

Chen Zhongkang has figured out the power in the middle, Chen Qiaoqiao's words are not wrong, if he wants to mix in the officialdom, marriage is indeed the most direct means, look at the extraordinary Peugeot of his two younger sisters, if they are cultivated well, maybe it will indeed be beneficial to the Chen family.

Chen Qiaoqiao saw that everyone didn't speak, "If you have no objections, this silver will be divided!" Ye Wanrong's lips squirmed, but she didn't say it after all, this was obviously forced, where did they dare to object!

Chen Qiaoqiao took out the silver ticket, divided it into three rooms, and advised: "This silver ticket can be collected, don't let people touch it!" Chen Qiaoqiao said this to Xu Huifang, and Xu Huifang nodded hurriedly. Ye Wanrong sneered on her face, she did have a little thought just now, and now she didn't dare.

Each of them silently put away the silver tickets, and Chen Qiaoqiao shouted, "Let's eat!" Hu Feng's heart was extremely dissatisfied, but Ye Wanrong was thinking about her mother-in-law's promise to give Zhen'er more. But Xu Huifang is ecstatic, it's just that she is self-controlled, she has been poor since she was a child, and she hasn't won more than a hundred taels of silver tickets at a time! Moreover, this money is almost a surprise for her, she has already begun to calculate in her heart, this is better than silver, if it is of any use in the future, it will not be so tight, right?

The meal was eaten silently, and even Zhen'er, who had always been lively, seemed to feel the oppressive atmosphere, and did not make a fuss, but just obediently finished his meal. Not to mention Si Zuo and Si Right, they have always been restrained when eating with everyone, if it weren't for Chen Qiaoqiao's frequent dishes in their bowls, they wouldn't dare to move chopsticks at all.

Chen Qiaoqiao ate this meal comfortably, everything went in the direction she expected, she also had a sense of accomplishment, no wonder everyone wanted to be a leader, she just raised her eyebrows at home once, so happy.

After eating, everyone went back to their rooms, but Chen Qiaoqiao walked slowly with Si Zuo and Si You, looked at this Ye Wanrong, and felt very strange, why was she so calm, and she hadn't come to ask Na Zhen'er for that share of the silver?

Just as he was thinking about it, a familiar voice suddenly came, "Mrs. Chen! So quiet at home today? Chen Qiaoqiao looked up and saw that it was the eldest lady of the Fan family, who had come to climb the wall again. The matter was settled, the silver was divided, there was nothing to make a fuss, and everyone went back to their rooms! ”

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but laugh, she forgot to ask the lady of the Fan family to come to see the play! The lady of the Fan family showed a look of regret, "Tsk! It's weird, I thought I'd rob you of a damn thing! "With the Fan family's understanding of the Chen family's daughters-in-law, it is a miracle that they can solve it so calmly." What did Madame do? The lady of the Fan family was a little curious.

"I said, I won't divide it today, just wait until I'm dead!" Chen Qiaoqiao was a little triumphant. The lady of the Fan family was indeed dumbfounded, and came over for a while before giving a thumbs up, "Madam, have courage." "The ancients tabooed death, calling a person who is still alive a dead person is the most vicious curse, but it does not necessarily mean that he really wants to die. But Chen Qiaoqiao actually talked about herself, no wonder this Fan family lady admires her. But this Chen Qiaoqiao didn't know, she thought that the lady of the Fan family agreed with her idea.

The lady of the Fan family saw that there was nothing lively and beautiful, so she went down, and Chen Qiaoqiao took Si Si Zuo and Si You back to the room, and then she was going to think about taking them to the women's school. I heard that there is a female gentleman in this alley, and it seems that she is going to visit tomorrow. In modern society, men and women are equal, and both boys and girls have to go to school. However, in ancient times, people had the idea that men were superior to women, and they always thought that women did not need to learn too much knowledge. Girls are not allowed to go to school in the same way as boys. There are not many women who have read books, and only some families with better family conditions, open-minded parents, or scholarly families can let girls study. These families can hire tutors to teach girls to read and read simple books. The books that a girl reads are also different from those of a boy, and she can only study books on teaching women about women's morality and appearance. Needlework, female red, spinning and cotton, filial piety, daughters, cooking, planting mulberry and silkworms, dust and sweeping, planting and breeding or anything must be involved, not to say that it must be used, but it must be, such a woman is the daughter-in-law of the family.

Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but slander that her two daughters-in-law must lack education, and they should really let them learn too! Especially the part that is filial to the mother-in-law, you should really learn it! Just thinking about it, Si Zuo was shocked and Si Right walked in, "Mother! The second sister-in-law seems to have come over! They were playing in the yard, and they saw Ye Wanrong pulling Zhen'er over from a distance, so they hurriedly told Chen Qiaoqiao.

Chen Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, she knew that this Ye Wanrong couldn't hold her breath! How could she have forgotten about the silver? It's okay, Chen Qiaoqiao already has something to discuss with her.

"Grandmother!" Zhen'er had already rushed in first, Chen Qiaoqiao was happy to see him, this child was full of vitality and joy, and it was difficult for people not to like it. "Mother-in-law!" Ye Wanrong walked in with a big belly and difficulty. This belly is really getting bigger and bigger, it seems that I will give birth after a while, won't I have another grandson or granddaughter? Thinking of this, Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't help but hold her forehead, she was getting closer and closer to the sunset West Mountain!
