Chapter 51: Get Married!
Yun Duoduo couldn't care so much at this time, so he hurriedly asked the family to take a look at all the people in the family.
She also goes out and walks around with the Bai family on weekdays, studying, and has some knowledge of things in the house.
She followed the booklet and looked at the remaining things in the house, and said to Bai: "Now there are more than 50 servants in the family, more than 20 villagers from near and far come to do long-term work in the shop, and there are more than 30 women from Qingshui County in the embroidery workshop. There were eight young men who had signed the death contract and had already followed my cousin to the Lin family, so I asked Fluttershy to inquire, and there were four maids in the family who were friendly with one of them, so each of them gave ten taels of silver and sent them to the Lin family. First, let them have a place to live, and secondly, they will not lose their marriage, and if they let the government sell it at that time, they don't know where the sale went. ”
Bai nodded: "That's good, they are all in the Lin family, follow Ruyu, I hope they can remember the good of the Jiang family and protect the last trace of the Jiang family's bloodline." ”
Yun Duoduo said again: "Mother Zhang has followed her grandmother for many years, and she has no children and no daughters, so she naturally wants to be resettled. asked people to buy this yard, remember Zhang's mother's name, and buy her two daughters from white families to raise. At that time, you can take your grandmother over and take care of it. ”
Bai nodded: "This arrangement is appropriate." ”
Yun Duoduo thought about it again: "There are two gentlemen in the family, one is Mrs. Du, this is easy to say, she was originally from Qingshui County, the family has a field property, the Jiang family has an accident, she can go home, Mr. Tian, who taught Linghui to practice martial arts, is not a local, and he came here in trouble." Mr. Tian is a capable person, and if he didn't like Linghui, he wouldn't stay in Qingshui County for long, so it was better to tattoo him a hundred taels of silver and let him leave. ”
Bai nodded: "This is easy to say, the two gentlemen are decent people, they went out, it would be good to have a trace of affection." ”
Yun Duoduo said again: "In addition, the one who went out to escape with my uncle and Linghui last night was a loyal servant, they had a sister-in-law, wife and children who were also in the Jiang family, and they had already burned the deed of sale, just to give them the cost of settling down, so that they could live well outside and buy some land for them." ”
Bai Shi took the pen a few times one by one, and felt more and more that Yun Duoduo was clear-headed, at this time, such a big child could still think about it.
The most difficult thing about being a man is not the beginning, nor the climb, but the end, the ancestors of the Jiang family were officials, and then the family fell into the middle, and then slowly made a fortune, which has become today's situation for decades, and now the sudden suffering, the Jiang family must sort out one by one, and scatter the connections and money, how to disperse, how to disperse, it is a difficult problem.
When ordinary people see such a bad thing at home, their heads are dizzy, where can they think of this?
It is rare for Yun Duoduo to be able to consider the servants that the Jiang family has purchased over the years one by one, planning for their future livelihood, and also planning for the future revival of the Jiang family.
Yun Duoduo saw that she remembered almost, so he said again: "The long-term workers and female workers are all people with their own families, and it is not a problem for them to live in peace, they are all from Qingshui County, and they don't look up to see the villagers." Let them all scatter the silver according to their heads, fifteen taels of silver per person, and it is better to give them this silver than to let the government take it. ”
"As for the others, they can't find a place for them to live in peace for a while, so they can only burn the deed of sale, and give ten taels of silver to each person, so that they can fend for themselves, and those who have relatives and friends can take refuge with relatives and friends on their own, and those who don't can only wait for the government's arrangement." There are many clouds.
Bai Shi sighed: "That's all it can be." ”
Yun Duoduo said again: "There are still some of them, I don't know how to deal with them." "
Bai Shi thought for a while: "It's gone." ”
Yun Duoduo said: "There is also the shopkeeper in our shop." There are three shopkeepers in charge of the shop, what are the origins and qualities of these people? ”
Bai thought for a while: "Shopkeeper Wu and Shopkeeper Fang are both from Qingshui County, and they are both from down-and-out talents. As for the shopkeeper Li, he is a foreigner who escaped natural disasters and went to Qingshui County, and he did not start a family. ”
Yun Duoduo said: "It's these people, and I don't know how to settle them yet." ”
Bai Shi was also worried: "They are all people with pure character, and they can still have food to eat when they work in the Jiang family's shop, once the Jiang family falls, they will have no livelihood, Wu shopkeeper and Fang shopkeeper still have old mothers and children at home, and Li shopkeeper doesn't even have a home." "
Yun Duoduo thought for a while: "I thought in my heart, if I can give the shop to them, it would be better for them to run it by themselves, than if they have no livelihood in the future, but then I think about it, so the government will definitely not follow, I am afraid that when the time comes, even the cousin Ruyu will take it to the Lin family to confiscate." ”
Bai nodded: "Don't you dare to be involved in Ruyu, he is the only hope for the Jiang family." ”
Yun Duoduo nodded: "Yes, I can't give them a shop, it's better to give them money, there are not many things at home, and nothing else can be sold for cash, so I gave them all the cloth in the store." Let them go back and buy their own farmland, and it is good to make a good living. ”
Bai Shi quickly calculated: "In this way, there will only be two thousand taels of silver left in the family." ”
Yun Duoduo said: "I calculated, tomorrow is the winter solstice, is the day to worship the ancestors, when our family takes out the family 1,500 taels of silver, after breaking it, tomorrow morning to the cemetery in the north of the city, when I see a lot of people, let people scatter it." ”
"Why is that?" Bai looked at Yun Duoduo puzzled.
Yun Duoduo explained: "The court doesn't know how much money our family has, and I don't know how much Cousin Ruyu has taken away, tomorrow we will sprinkle silver money on the road to worship our ancestors, and no one knows how much." ”
When the time comes, the government can't just arrest and interrogate all the people who have picked up the silver, right? Ask how many were picked up?
Who will tell the government the truth?
In this way, it will be possible to conceal the money that Jiang Ruyu brought to the Lin family, as well as those who have been scattered by others.
The Jiang family's money was scattered in Qingshui County.
Qingshui County will naturally remember the good of the Jiang family.
Bai patted Yun Duoduo's back: "It's rare that you have such an insight, the Jiang family didn't hurt you in vain." ”
On the second day, the Jiang family dismissed their servants and scattered all their wealth.
Even Na Luo Xiu got five taels of silver to let her get along with her these days.
Yun Duoduo also inquired about her little craftsman who was a candy seller outside the Jiang family, but because the family was really poor in the early years, he didn't marry a wife, so he dragged on until he was in his thirties.
Guo Shi was favored by Yun Duoduo again, sent two packs of eggs and a pair of Ruyi to his family, and said to Luo Xiu: "I was a person without a daughter, you served me, I will naturally think about it for you for life, now the Jiang family is in trouble, you shouldn't do such a thing, even so, you entered their house, there are no three media and six ceremonies, only a marriage letter, how can it be done without a dowry, this pair of Ruyi was originally reserved for Duoduo, you took Ruyi into the door, that is, a decent lady." ”
Luo Xiu was also ashamed, this pair of Ruyi is a good thing, Ben thought that the Jiang family was in trouble, and the second lady was going to secretly take it and send it to her nephew who was far away in Jiangzhou City.
Ding Xiaoer, the sugar seller, originally wanted to flee to other places with Luo Xiu, but now the Jiang family does not investigate and does not report to the official, so he is still selling sugar in Qingshui County. Life is stable, and I am very grateful for Guo's kindness.
Yun Duoduo dealt with these messy things, and then went to see Mrs. Du, who had been with the Bai family for the past two days, and she didn't have much heart to study.
Mrs. Du was packing up with the two maids.
When Mrs. Du saw her sad face, she comforted: "The matter has come to this point, it is good that you can get to this point." As for the rest, we can only take one step at a time. ”
Yun Duoduo could only nod.
The favor has been done, and in a few days, the government will come to get people, and when the time comes, no one knows what will happen to the Bai family and the Guo family.
As for herself, she didn't know what was going on.
Mrs. Du looked at her and said seriously: "You have to go with me tomorrow, if you don't leave, wait until the people from the government come over, see that you live in the Jiang family, and you have lived for so many years, it is inevitable that they will not arrest you as a member of the Jiang family." ”
Yun Duoduo nodded: "For today's plan, this is the only way." ”
Mrs. Du said again: "As for your life, have you ever thought about it? ”
Yun Duoduo was stunned, she had been here for more than four years, and she really hadn't thought about it.
The figure of the boy in the snow and ice flashed suddenly.
I don't know what happened to him.
He said that his surname was Yue, and the prince in the palace was about the same age as him, and the prince's mother was Queen Yue......
It has long been rumored that the prince is frail and sickly, but he likes to dabble in horses.
Sometimes she was even a little scared......
"I ...... I never thought about these things. Yun Duoduo said.
Mrs. Du said: "You are not young now, if you don't talk about other people at the age of fifteen...... I'm afraid ......"
After the girl is fourteen years old, it is a watershed, and after the age of fourteen, people who have not decided on a baby will be busy with the girl's engagement.
Originally, I thought that Yun Duoduo would take it with the Jiang family, and the Jiang family would naturally be able to find a good marriage, but now that the Jiang family is suddenly in trouble, her marriage will naturally become a problem.
"You followed me away from the Jiang family, but my husband's family has fallen into ruin, and I can't help you, so I can only give you a place to settle for the time being, if you don't find your in-law's house quickly, you will be sad in the future." Mrs. Du said.
Yun Duoduo looked at her blankly: "This ......"
In other words, she must find a mother-in-law quickly, otherwise a girl who has no support will not even have her mother-in-law's family after the age of fifteen, what a terrible thing!
Mrs. Du said: "I once raised a daughter, who lost her head at the age of three, and that daughter set a baby parent, if you want, I will treat you as my daughter and marry you off." ”
"This ......" Yun Duoduo was still surprised.
Mrs. Du said: "I know you don't want to, you have high ambitions, and you can't look down on ordinary people, but now there is no way to do it, and you must be willing to do that." ”
