Chapter 44: Self-reliance
Xiuniang hurriedly gave her a look, and then pretended to be embarrassed, and said, "What Mrs. said is true." If the lady doesn't say it, the daughter-in-law will also send some over. ”
Cai's overjoyed. Mrs. Yang shook her head secretly in her heart, only feeling regretful.
Xiuniang continued: "It's a pity, Yunsheng told me this morning that August 13 was the death day of his ex-wife. It's been exactly five years this year. Yun Sheng means that he was sick before, and if he wanted to be taboo for his ex-wife, he was powerless. Now that my daughter-in-law has married in, I should do a good job this year. So after taking the silver, he sent someone early to send out five hundred taels of silver to the Jingkong Temple outside the city. For the rest, the daughter-in-law had already taken two or three hundred taels of silver to fill the previous deficit in the courtyard. ”
As soon as Cai heard about his former wife, he was already a little uncomfortable. After listening to this article, I was scared and empty-hearted. There was silence for a while. Seeing this, her henchman Liang Mama hurriedly said: "It's just that grandma has spent all the money and can't take it out." What are you doing with this? “
Xiuniang smiled and said, "Mama Liang said this, she killed me." I didn't spend this thousand taels of silver. Yunsheng's meaning is also a sincere filial piety. When today's son still celebrates the death of the Queen Mother who has been dead for 20 years every year. The former wife has been pregnant and raised Yunsheng for ten years, and she should always do her best. “
This hat was buttoned down, and Mama Liang suddenly stopped talking. Xiuniang looked at Cai's face that was about to drip water, and said with a smile: "It's always the misfortune of the wife." And there was only one or two hundred taels of silver left, and he had to prepare for the expenses of the year. But now that the wife has opened her mouth, even if the daughter-in-law wrongs herself, she can't let the Tai spaceman go. Mama Yang, take a hundred taels of silver. “
As soon as Cai heard that there was none, he lowered his face. Later, when he heard that there were still a hundred taels, he turned his anger into joy and said, "No wonder the old lady said that you are becoming more and more knowledgeable recently." That's it. One hundred taels less is really less, and it is also your heart. “
So she took the money, Xiuniang didn't want to eat, and the group went out again.
Mama Yang waited for her to go away, and said hatefully: "This is really a goose plucking." That set of Huanghuali furniture is worth thousands of taels of silver, and it came to pit us! “
Xiuniang smiled lightly and said, "She is an elder, I am a junior, and I should respect my elders." It's Mama's words, which are suspected of being guilty. “
When Mama Yang heard this, she was stunned, and she hurriedly slapped her mouth hard, and said, "Alas, the older you get, the more you can't control this broken mouth." begged grandma to spare the slave and maid this suffering. “
Xiuniang nodded, and both saw each other's clear looks in each other's eyes, and then said, "It's okay." For Yun Sheng's sake, spare you. Don't do it again next time. “
Mama Yang nodded hurriedly.
In the afternoon, Mama Song taught Xiuniang to write, and she was still the same as before.
The more she taught, the farther away she became. Xiuniang is no longer as cautious as before, and from time to time she gives the people in the courtyard a look. Mama Song is not like before, she is just ordering and stopping, and she is becoming more and more strict, and it is easy not to make an assessment.
After today's teaching, Mama Song nodded slightly after watching her demonstrate a complete set of banquet etiquette, and said, "Grandma can finally attend some banquets now." It's like a lady. “
Xiuniang listened and looked at her deeply.
After studying with Mama Song for three months, she finally had the confidence and was ready to stand up.
