Chapter 220: The Ugly Family
It is difficult to follow the text of fate
It is difficult to follow the text of fate.
The third aunt's mother's family opened a new shop, and the money was not together, so she thought about working with her mother's family to build the shop. That sounds reasonable, too.
The fourth wife said: "If there is me, I will give her some, but your fourth uncle has spent a lot of money on medicine over the years, and he has spent a lot of favors on weekdays, how can he have so much spare money, and then the old lady recently gave your fourth uncle the money to open a shop, which can't be easily moved, your fourth uncle said, I'm afraid the shop is not easy to open, but I am afraid that there will be other uses, so I didn't agree." ”
Although the third aunt is a person who sees the wind and steers the rudder, she will not come to the fourth room to borrow money, and besides, this loan is to be repaid and there is no good intention, unless there is really something.
I saw the third aunt and the third uncle at the old lady's face differently before, and she thought it was husband and wife bickering.
After the fourth lady said this, she looked left and right, "I also heard from the next person, you have to have a number in your heart," she paused, "Mingwei is going to marry Miss Chang Ningbo, I heard that Chang Ningbo's dowry is more than 100 lifts, I'm afraid the tide will rise by then......"
Rong Hua's eyes flashed, the fourth aunt meant, I am afraid that the dowry for Miss Chang Ningbo will be more than hers.
There is a saying that high marries and low marries. This kind of family affair makes the woman's family beautiful, and the man also has face.
Xue Mingwei's family is married highly, Chang Ningbo's family is rich and marrying a daughter naturally has to make a full show, the second wife not only wants the dowry of Miss Chang Ningbo's fourth, but also wants to pay back the dowry that is similar to the past.
The fourth lady said: "These days, I see that you and the old lady are getting closer, and some words cannot be ambiguous, and you have to speak when you should speak." ”
is to let her speak earlier, so as not to wait until the dowry is decided, the fourth lady of Chang Ningbo's family has more dowry than her, Mrs. Wu Muhou, and it will not look good at that time.
Rong Hua nodded.
After a while, the fourth uncle and Long Zhengping spoke, and Long Zhengping went to the side room to salute Rong Hua through the screen.
Rong Hua said with a smile: "Fourth uncle, let's take it to greet the old lady first."
The fourth old man smiled and took Long Zhengping to the old lady's house.
Feicheng County's water-dense peaches were selected and carried to the old lady's room, and Xue Chongjie personally held a few washed ones on a plate to give the old lady a taste.
The old lady's eyes were crooked.
Long Zheng gave a big salute and stepped aside.
The old lady looked at Xue Chongjie and bowed slightly, "It's rare for you to have filial piety," pointing to the basket of peaches, "Go and send some everywhere"
Xue Chongjie nodded, seeing that the old lady wanted to speak and stopped, but after all, she still didn't say anything.
Rong Hua returned to the house to change clothes, and Feng Lichang's family said, "Wang Bao is here." ”
She married Wang Bao on Zhuangzi, because Wang Bao was the eldest wife, she deliberately colded Wang Bao for a while.
Rong Hua nodded and let Wang Bao in.
That Wang Bao hurriedly entered the house as if he had been amnestied, knelt outside the screen and kept kowtowing, "Thank you young lady, if there is no young lady, my mother-in-law may have a smooth birth." The young lady's great kindness and virtue Wang Bao are difficult to repay as cattle and horses. ”
Wang Bao raised the outer room outside, the outer room was not in good health and pregnant, she signaled to let Lang Zhong take care of Wang Bao's outer room and deliberately did not see Wang Bao, Wang Bao was really anxious and let people bring in a few words.
Rong Hua took a sip of tea and did not speak.
That Wang Bao then kowtowed, "If the little one still has a different heart, let the sky thunder, and there is no other word." Said and said, "The mother-in-law of the small family has not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for many years, and the little one has only raised the outer room, but it has been many years before there is news, if it is not for the young lady, the child in the mother-in-law's belly may not be guaranteed, and the little one has no expectations." The little one had no eyes and was ashamed of the young lady before, but the young lady didn't care about these...... If the little one does not remember grace in his heart, he is not a person. ”
Rong Hua said lightly: "You get up"
Then Wang Bao cautiously raised his head and glanced at Rong Hua behind the screen, "If the young lady has any orders, the little ones are willing to go." "The matter has come to this point, the young lady must not worry that he will continue to manage Zhuangzi, no matter what work he does, he is willing to do it.
Rong Hua asked Wang Bao to stand aside, and it happened that Long Zhengping came out of the old lady's room to ask to see Rong Hua.
Rong Hua said: "I don't want to see him, so let him go and talk to the fourth uncle if there is something." ”
Feng Lichang's family took the words out, and Long Zhengping kowtowed in the courtyard before going out. Wang Bao saw all these in his eyes, and was more respectful at the moment.
Rong Hua raised his eyes to look at Wang Bao, who was neatly dressed and respectful, standing there without squinting. Rong Hua pursed her lips, Wang Bao's temperament was almost grinded, now it just depends on whether he will do his best to run errands for her.
Rong Hua looked away and said lightly, "I have something to explain to you." ”
Wang Bao bowed happily and said, "Please give the young lady orders." ”
Rong Hua said: "I asked you to go to eastern Zhejiang, or buy or reclaim a piece of saline-alkali barren land." ”
Wang Baoyou raised his head in surprise and knelt on the ground, "The little one doesn't dare, the young lady let the little one buy land, and the little one will never dare to deceive." "The young lady is afraid that he will replace the fertile land with saline barren land, so she will say this.
Rong Hua didn't look up, picked up the book on the table and read, "That's good, I just want you to buy saline-alkali barren land, you have been in Zhuangzi for a long time, and you know the method of agricultural planting, I want you to set off and buy saline-alkali land and plant seeds." I'll have the seeds delivered to your house in the evening. ”
What can grow in a barren land?
Wang Baodeng's eyes widened, trying to see some clues from the young lady's face, but the young lady kept staring at the book, and never glanced at it.
Wang Bao's whole heart fell to the bottom all of a sudden, is the young lady going to send him down or ......
Rong Hua said: "If you can plant it well, you will come to the house to run errands." ”
Wang Bao clenched his fists and kowtowed heavily, "The little one must do his best." ”
Wang Bao left, the maid removed the screen, and after a while, Chunyao came back from outside and said: "I only inquired that the third wife cried in the house a few times, and the third master did not persuade him, now as long as the third master goes out of the room, the third wife will make trouble." ”
Chunyao said in a low voice: "There is a mother-in-law in the courtyard of the third wife who wants to send her granddaughter into the mansion, so she specially said a few more words to me. The mother-in-law said that maybe the third master fell in love with the people around the third wife and wanted to ask for a concubine, and the third wife was so troubled that she wanted to die or live. ”
The third uncle fell in love with the maid next to the third aunt? Then it won't be that the third uncle wants to go out and the third aunt will make trouble.
Chunyao said again: "The criminal mother next to the third wife has been out many times in the past two days, today I met the criminal mother in the corridor, the criminal mother was holding a burden in her hand and hiding it, and later told me that it was the old clothes that the third wife gave her. ”
Chunyao is a little meticulous in observing people, since it is an old clothes, why hide it.
Rong Hua was thinking about it, when Yanling came in and said, "The third wife is here." ”
Speak of the devil.
Rong Hua stood up, and the third wife happened to enter the house.
Rong Hua hurriedly asked the maid to fetch good tea, and sat on the kang near the window with the third wife.
The third lady looked at the book on the low table and said with a smile: "You are reading in the house?" ”
Rong Hua smiled slightly, "I just have nothing to do, just take a look." ”
The third lady looked at the furnishings in this room, and pretended to smile easily: "I heard that the businessman named Long Zhengping just now came, and he also brought a lot of peaches from Feicheng County to pay homage, and the same as the reward in the palace, ordinary people can't get so much, it is rare that Long Zhengping is still like his own subordinates, respectful, and he doesn't dare to speak in front of the old lady." ”
Rong Hua said with a smile: "Long Zhengping is to thank the fourth uncle for saving his life, so he regards himself as a slave of our family. ”
The third lady nodded, picked up the tea to drink, took a sip, put down the teacup, and saw that there was no one else in the house, so she talked to Rong Hua about serious things, "My mother's brother wants to open a shop," said with an embarrassed face, and looked away from Rong Hua's face, "I also want to make a share, but the money in my hand is just not enough." ”
The third room and the second room are the closest, and the second aunt has a shop in her hand and knows about the things in the shop. It should be easier for the third aunt to borrow money from the second aunt, but I haven't heard that the third aunt went to the second aunt's room to borrow money.
The second aunt is the most meticulous in handling things, especially in the money, the third aunt goes to borrow money from the second aunt, and the second aunt will inevitably ask carefully about the reason.
But the third aunt's words flickered clearly, and she didn't want to make things clear.
In other words, if the mother's family wants to open a shop, it is eighty percent fake.
Rong Hua's eyes narrowed, and the handkerchief in the third aunt's hand was pleated, and she was ruthless to borrow money from her. Rong Hua thought carefully in his heart, raised his head and looked over, "How much silver is the third aunt missing?" ”
The third wife's face was overjoyed, and she almost couldn't believe it, "One or two hundred taels ......"
Rong Hua thought for a while, "I can't take out more, but I have a hundred taels, I'll take it out and give it to the third aunt." ”
It went so smoothly that she didn't even ask what shop her mother's family wanted to buy, and she didn't say when she agreed to her, and the third wife couldn't control her expression.
A hundred taels of silver is not a few. Hou Ye's age is only a few hundred taels of silver.
The third lady said after a while: "When the money is ready, I will bring it to you as soon as possible." ”
Rong Hua smiled and nodded.
After sending the third wife away, Mu Hibiscus finished cleaning up the tea bowl and whispered beside Rong Hua: "When I bought rice, the third wife and the second wife watched the young lady's jokes on the side, why did the young lady lend the silver to the third lady so happily now." ”
Hibiscus is for her to hold the uneven. If she usually doesn't want to get involved in the second and third rooms at all, but this time the third room may not have encountered a trivial matter, otherwise she would not have let her mother sell the things in the house.
And what the third aunt lacks must not be this two hundred taels, but the number of one or two hundred taels is the third aunt's estimate of how much spare money she has in her room, so she asked for it.
The third aunt is more calculating than anyone else in terms of money, and now she is hiding from the whole family and willingly taking out the money, it must be that something happened to the third uncle outside.
"Is the third master at home?"
Chunyao stepped forward and replied, "Here you are." ”
Rong Hua instructed Chunyao, "Let people go to the third room to watch, and if someone goes out in the third room, follow them quietly." ”
Chunyao nodded.
Rong Hua looked at Jinxiu again, "Go find Hou Ye's personal servant Gao Yue." ”
