Chapter 431 of the list of chapters of the difficult to follow

On Rong Hua's birthday, the banquet in the mansion was already busy enough for Rong Hua, as for Miss Tao Ba's mother's family, he temporarily arranged for Rong Hua, "Give him some money, let them spend their days temporarily, and wait until the young lady's birthday, and then you go to the young lady to tell him." Gao Yue responded, "The weather is too cold, their family has no money to buy charcoal, and there are twenty taels of silver enough for them to live in the New Year." ”

Gao Yue took twenty taels of silver and gave it to the husband of the young lady's mother and daughter, and Zhang Sheng got the silver money and left with a thousand thanks.

Xue Mingrui returned to the mansion, and it was already the beginning of the day.

Xue Mansion is already a city. Xue Mingrui went into the inner courtyard to change clothes, and Rong Hua was Xue Yishuang,

Xue Yijuan and Xue Yiwan hugged each other to welcome them out.

Xue Mingrui looked over.

Rong Hua wore a peach phoenix tail gown, a peach and gold-rimmed horse-faced skirt, a peony bun, and a small Zhengfeng on the front, no other gold, silver and gemstones, but a tassel with an auspicious knot, and a small tourmaline in his ears. At that time, he felt that it was good to take advantage of her snowy face, but now he thinks that red is good, but it is not as beautiful as her wearing this little pink today. Although Rong Hua has a few more colors than usual, he does not hide his appearance, his kapok-like lips are lightly pursed, and his eyes that twinkle like moonlight become brighter and brighter.

Rong Hua's cheeks were red when Xue Mingrui saw it, and he helped Xue Mingrui change his clothes with his own hands" "I made a pair of sachets, Master Hou put them on!" Rong Hua took out the peony rich chicken heart sachet and tied it around Xue Mingrui's waist.

"What about the other one?"

Xue Mingrui's eyes shone brightly, as if he could see through her thoughts, "There are so many guests today" I will wear it again in the future. ”

When people see pairs wearing like this, they don't know what to gossip about.

"Take it out and I'll put it on for you." ”

Rong Hua couldn't twist him, and the two of them came out of the suite, each with an extra sachet on their waists.

Xue Mingrui went to the front yard to feast guests," Rong Hua talked to the ladies in the inner courtyard.

Because it was Rong Hua's birthday, the old lady deliberately let Rong Hua rest, and handed over the affairs of the inner house to the fourth wife and the Qian family.

After the banquet, everyone sat down to watch the play, sang on stage, and talked offstage.

The Xue family is about to be separated, Rong Hua's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and Mrs. Xue's face is not very good.

Old Madam Xue sat for a while and gathered, and Rong Hua and the fourth lady sent the old lady back to the house to rest.

After serving the old lady to rest, Rong Hua and the fourth lady came out of the old lady's room.

Jinxiu and a few people were holding lanterns in front, "The fourth wife and Rong Hua were talking in the back, "The second wife found me and wanted to ask the master to buy some cotton land in Shandong." ”

The fourth wife paused, "Ming Li's daughter-in-law spent a lot of money to help the master find the murderer, and we can't let the second room pay for us" had to agree. ”

The fourth master and the fourth wife are unlikely to refuse others.

"How much land did the second aunt say she wanted to buy?"

The fourth wife frowned, "I didn't say anything at first, I remembered to ask the master to ask the second uncle, but the second uncle said that he wanted to buy 500 acres." ”

Five hundred acres of land? Xue Chongyi was really embarrassed to speak.

The fourth lady looked at Rong Hua in a panic, "I should also come down to this?" What if we are asked to give us money? When she heard five hundred acres, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

Rong Hua stopped, "How can the fourth aunt refuse the second aunt?" ”

The second wife is clever and tongue-in-cheek, "even if she goes to the second wife to discuss", she will definitely be speechless by the second wife's question, and the fourth wife said: "I have no way, I didn't expect the second wife to ask for so much land, and let us buy the land" but didn't give a nose of silver, is it possible for us to advance silver? ”

The second wife's speech has always been full of mysteries, "If you are not careful, you will be surrounded by the second wife."

"The second aunt inquired about the fourth uncle who bought 500 acres of sand fields." Otherwise, how could you say such an accurate number as 500 acres?

The fourth wife was stunned, "But I only said 200 acres in the house." ”

There is no impermeable wall in the world, the price of sand fields in Shandong is cheap, Xue Chongjie bought as much as 500 acres at once, these fields are not a small amount, if they are said, they will definitely cause others to reverie, thinking that the old lady gave Xue Chongjie how much silver, she gave the fourth wife an idea, let the fourth wife only tell others about 200 acres.

"The second uncle opened his mouth, and the fourth uncle did not refuse, and this matter can only be dealt with head-on, and see if the second uncle and second aunt have anything else to say."

The fourth wife panicked, "You mean ......?"

, "Separation." She was afraid that she would not give up when the second room was separated.

The fourth wife was also afraid that the second room would make any waves when the family was separated, so she happily agreed to the second aunt.

The fourth wife said: "If we promise to help the second room buy a field, will the second room still mention the matter of dividing the family?" ”

has lived with the second wife for so long, and what the second wife has done makes people unguarded.

"The fourth aunt still remembers the fields I bought, so it's better to ask the fourth uncle if there are 500 acres next to it, and if the second uncle and second aunt want it, give them the fields."

The fourth lady exclaimed, "Those are wastelands. ”

It's a wasteland.

She hired long-term laborers with silver money to reclaim 200 acres of wasteland.

There are few people in Shandong. The imperial court advocated that the gentry demonstrate the reclamation of the wasteland, and the second lord was also an official in the court, and the reclamation should also be.

The reclaimed wasteland was exempted from taxes by the imperial court for one year, and when the land was collected in the second year, the government would issue a fish scale book. Therefore, the fourth uncle only needs to take care of the fields for the second room, and ask the second room to hire long-term workers to reclaim the wasteland.

The fourth wife's eyes lit up, "That's good." ”

"If the second aunt asks the fourth aunt why she bought so much sandy land in Shandong, the fourth aunt can also tell the second aunt." ”

The fourth lady laughed, "Okay, let's do it." At that time, there will always be an old lady to make decisions for us, and presumably the second room will not be able to say anything else. ”

The housekeeper of the Ren family has not yet told the truth, and at this time, she is not good at revealing anything to the fourth wife, she only needs to wait patiently for a day or two before there will be results.

Even if Xue Chongjie helps to buy land in Shandong, there will be no news until the New Year. But once the dust settles on the Xue family's separation, it cannot be changed. Xue Chongjie's promise to Xue Chongyi was just a stopgap measure.

After sending off the guests, Rong Hualou lay down on the bed to rest after washing, and only then did Rong Hua open his eyes when he seemed to hear a clear voice in his ears.

A floor-to-ceiling palace lamp was placed in the room, and a curtain was placed on the case not far away, and two shadow puppet villains jumped on the screen.

The little student on the curtain lowered his head, and his voice was leisurely with some music, "Madame's birthday, I don't know what to celebrate for my husband, and my husband will not make people exquisite poems, let alone shock the world's fists and feet, only this ordinary man thinks about it, and gives Mrs. a gift to the bright moon and the fragrance of the house." ”

Rong Hua looked at the little man on the shadow puppet, put on his shoes, and slowly walked towards the curtain.

Xue Mingrui was a little drunk, and his slender eyes were full of smiles as he sat on the small club.

Jihua took the little fù person in Xue Mingrui's hand, and his voice was slightly low, "This moonlight is not yours, where is the fragrance of flowers blooming in the snowy midwinter season, I think you have forgotten the gift, so you have to deliberately prevaricate." ”

The little student was not in a hurry or impatient, "Madame, please see, the flowers have bloomed among Madame's temples, and the gentle moonlight has also fallen on Madame's nose, and even I am favored by Madame's side." ”

Rong Hua reached out in surprise and touched the bun, the tentacles were indeed soft petals, there was no curtain on the window, and the moonlight was withdrawing from the window when it came in.

The little fù man bent down, "The officials sent me these, but I couldn't repay them." ”

The little boy sang again, "Although it is snowy in the middle of winter, my heart is as warm as spring. I just hope that my wife will accompany me for a long time, so that I can repay it from time to time. 1 After Bu Sheng finished speaking, he picked up a small folded boat and slowly pushed it towards the little fù man.

Rong Hua took the small boat in his hand, and Xue Mingrui put down the shadow puppet and picked up Rong Hua's whole person.

Outside the window, the wind blew snowflakes in all directions, and the snowflakes seemed to squeeze into the house through the cracks in the window, and landed on the skirt of his skirt, which fluttered lightly with his black hair.

Rong Hua was lying on the bed, Xue Mingrui's hand just fell on her waist, and Rong Hua suddenly felt her stomach move.

Xue Mingrui's face also showed surprise.

"He moved?"

The child in her belly moved, harder than before.

Xue Mingrui put his hand on Rong Hua's stomach, I don't know if the child in his belly felt something, and the place where Xue Mingrui let go moved slightly.

The slender eyes are flying again" "Our baby is also going to celebrate her mother's birthday." ”

After three exams, the candidates stayed in Beijing and waited for the imperial court to release the results. The capital suddenly became lively again.

These days, the business of the restaurant is getting better and better, and Ren Jingchu doesn't care about the money he earns, all of which is handled by Lou, who is in charge of the restaurant, for the second wife.

The second wife counted the silver, and her mood was extremely comfortable, after so many years of hard work, it was finally her turn to do her best.

The second wife put away the silver, and the cuckoo who went to the third room to stare at came back and said: "The third master has been going out early and returning late these days, and the third wife has become suspicious and has made people follow." ”

The second wife raised the corners of her mouth, the paper couldn't hold the fire, and if she continued like this, she would watch the show and take the stage in advance.

The old lady's illness remained on the surface, but in fact it was getting worse and worse.

The imperial doctor still said in the past, asking the old lady to recuperate well, and not to be angry.

But if you can't move around, I'm afraid it's not up to the imperial doctor to have the final say.

Rong Hua and Qian discussed in the old lady's room to provide silver for the New Year.

Rong Hua read the notes and accounts sent by Zhuangzi to the old lady, all kinds of game, livestock,

There is no shortage of cereals, and the livestock raised have also been converted into cash, part of which is used for the New Year, and the rest is divided with the cash silver in the public school.

Rong Hua said: "The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs each sent a New Year's item, and there is no shortage of firecrackers and dried fruits. ”

The old lady listened and nodded.

While talking in the house, Xue Chongyi and the second wife came.

The old lady crossed her arms and looked at Xue Chongyi, "The second child has left the government so early?" ”

Xue Chongyi looked embarrassed, and the second wife didn't know what to do.

The room fell silent all of a sudden, and the old lady frowned, "What's the matter?" ”。
