Chapter 516: The Bride (Part II)

Listening to the words of the third lady, Mrs. Tai smiled faintly.

"There is more money, not as much as days. You can't empty your home for Brother Qin's marriage, right? What's more, Brother Jian is about to say goodbye. In my opinion, it is better to set up the new house in Mitsui Hutong. This way you can also save money. If you are afraid that your new daughter-in-law will not be able to preside over the feed-in at a young age, it is better to stay in Beijing and guide your new daughter-in-law well. As for the third child," Mrs. Tai muttered, "Aunt Yi has been dead for almost a year, right?" If it doesn't work, I will carry an aunt and follow the third child to the post. I think the guy named Qiuling next to you is good. That's it, kid! ”

The third lady was stunned at first, and then shocked.

Mrs. Tai's ideas were poked at her heart.

"Mother!" The third lady hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the princess, "We just don't have any money, and we have money for the child to marry." It's just that the third master has the final say on everything in the family, so he waited for the third master to send money. I still understand the principle of a long stream. I definitely won't hollow out my family for the sake of false fame. She said, her eyes rolling slightly, "The Fang family's furniture has been beaten, and the wedding boat is also on the way, and the new house will be located in Mitsui Hutong at that time...... So, what about the extra furniture? Let the people who gave the Fang family to marry, wouldn't our Yongping Marquis Mansion become the one who cheated the dowry of his daughter-in-law? ”

Mrs. Tai was silent.

As soon as the third lady saw that there was a play, she hurriedly said, "Mother, I have planned it a long time ago." Marriage of children is a big deal. The third master knew that he would definitely not send money. It's just that Shanyang is a little far away from here, and I'm afraid that it will be too late to wait for the third master to send the money. I'll go back to my mother's house to borrow a little first, and then clean up the yard here, and it's not too late to pay it back when the third master's money arrives. ”

"Borrow money?" Mrs. Tai took a sip of the teacup and said softly, "You are also a family worker." When a child gets married, it is not something that can be done by tidying up the yard. The money for this banquet, the red envelopes for opening the door, and the dowry for the ...... One pile, one piece, which one does not cost money? ”

Although she was quite unimpressed, she didn't take the burden over and asked her not to go back to her parents' house to borrow money.

The third lady was in a hurry.

If Mrs. Tai really made up her mind to let Brother Qin go to Mitsui Hutong to get married, she would lose her heart and face. If you regret that you shouldn't have bought a house in Mitsui Hutong, you won't be forced into a corner by Mrs. Tai. Thinking about it again, if there was no house to buy in Mitsui Hutong, how could he get more than 6,000 taels of silver furniture from the Fang family...... For a while, her heart was in turmoil, and she was only thinking about how to dispel these thoughts with Mrs. Tai.

"I've done the math," she said at once, "and when the time comes, every family will send congratulatory gifts, which will be enough for the cost of the marriage." It's enough to borrow one or two thousand taels of silver from my mother's family! ”

Mrs. Tai listened and nodded slightly: "Since you have all calculated." Then I won't say anything more. Then he brought tea, "I'm tired too, you have something to do, go down and rest!" ”

The third lady didn't dare to stay longer, so she hurriedly got up and retreated.

When I walked outside, the sun was shining in the white flowers, and I was shocked that I felt that I had suffered a loss.

"Why didn't I mention the money in the public school!" She muttered, "We live together." According to custom, there should have been three hundred taels of silver! I think that at the beginning, the fifth child became a family and the fourth child continued the string, but the public middle school took the money out. Mrs. Tai didn't mention a word, did she not want to give out the three hundred taels of silver? Why didn't Brother Qin take out the money when he became a parent? Won't it all be me when the time comes? ”

But the words have already been spoken......

Her bowels were about to turn blue.

Looking up, I saw the cornices rising in the greenery.

She paused and ordered the people around her: "Let's go to the fourth lady!" ”

Someone should say "yes" in a low voice.

The third lady glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw a meek and gentle face.

Qiuling ......

She pursed her lips and turned to go to the main room.

"Brother Qin's money to get married?" Eleven Niang looked at the third lady with some surprise.

The third lady nodded, leaned forward with her elbows on the kang table: "The fourth brother and sister are not outsiders, and I am not afraid of your jokes." Over the years, the two of us have been living on monthly routines, and in the past few years, your third brother has been released, and his hands have become more active. Bisheng married the Fang family, and the dowry was loaded into two boats. For the sake of Brother Qin'er's decency, I can't be shabby here. I had to stand on tiptoe to be the eldest son, and it was not enough to take out the silver that I had hidden for many years and paste it in, and I was going to go back to my parents' house to borrow some silver to powder the new house here......"

But he didn't mention the property that he had previously divided.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but be glad that the middle feed at home was not presided over by herself now.

"I have to discuss this matter with my mother." She smiled, "Things are ...... at home now."

Before she finished her words, the third lady said, "I know it too." But I was actually embarrassed to say this to my mother - I haven't done anything big for so many years, and my eldest son said that I had no money, but I was afraid that the money was not paid, so I was reprimanded by my mother first. I wanted to borrow some money from my fourth siblings. As soon as the money for the congratulatory gift arrives, it will be returned immediately. ”

"Brother Qin's marriage is a big deal." Eleven Niang said, "I don't have a head of the house now, and there will be no dividends until the end of the year." I don't know how much the third sister-in-law wants to borrow? ”

If you borrow too much, I'm afraid that it will alarm Xu Lingyi, and Mrs. Tai will definitely know about it at that time.

The third lady thought for a while and said, "The paint costs more than 100 taels of silver, and the whitewashed wall costs about 100 taels of silver, as well as curtains and wages...... I think it will cost at least two hundred taels of silver. ”

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief. said with a smile: "The third sister-in-law seems to be looking at the opening of my money box - a few days ago, the Hou Ye just gave me two hundred taels of silver for the Mid-Autumn Festival." The third sister-in-law will use it first! Saying that, let Zhu Xiang go to open the cage, "Remember to bring the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the third sister-in-law can also set up a note for me!" ”

"Notes!" The third lady looked at Eleven Niang in astonishment, and couldn't help but be angry.

If I knew this, I should have gone to the second lady. She has always been generous...... If the note is made in black and white, then the money will have to be returned!

After going around in such a big circle, wouldn't it be in vain to work in the end!

"I don't think there's a need to make a note!" The third lady's eyes flickered, "You still can't trust me!" ”

I can't believe it.

Eleven Niang smiled, and Zhu Xiang took a silver ticket and a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

She spread the paper in front of the third lady.

"It's not that I can't trust the third sister-in-law. But as the saying goes, it is good to settle accounts with brothers. Without this interest, people will be much more affectionate. I don't urge the third sister-in-law to pay back the money, but I just have a certificate, and I can give Hou Ye an explanation. ”

"Well, forget it!" The third lady said, "Since you still have to give Hou Ye an explanation for your money, I don't want to embarrass you." I'd better go back to my parents' house and borrow some more! ”

"Help your mother-in-law's family fight for your anger in your mother's house, and help your mother's family fight for your mother's family in your mother-in-law's house. Instead of going back to her parents' house to borrow money, the third sister-in-law might as well turn over each other between our concubines. Eleven Niang smiled, "Is the third sister-in-law afraid that I won't be able to borrow money from the third sister-in-law in the future?" What's more, I don't wait to use this silver, and the third sister-in-law is the same at all times. ”

The third lady's eyes flickered as she listened.

Fortunately, I followed the third master out to see the world, otherwise I would be the same as Eleven Niang, thinking that it was useless to hold this silver in my hand, and others always had to pay it back when I lent it out, or a personal favor. But he didn't know that this money could make money, and lent it to those who needed it urgently to collect interest, and in a few years, there were hundreds of taels of silver.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hesitate a little, who knew that Zhu Xiang handed the pen dipped in ink to her hand......

Borrow it first to make it happen!

The third lady took the pen and made a note.

Eleven Niang glanced at it quickly and let Zhu Xiang accept it.

Qiu Yu was ordered by the eleventh mother to send some muslin to the amber that was about to be produced, and when she talked about what happened in the house, she couldn't help mentioning the third lady's borrowing of money: "...... Now that the written note has been made, it is better to ask the third lady to write down the time of repayment more clearly. Otherwise, this silver is only afraid that the meat is wrapped in meat and beaten by the dog, and there is no return. ”

Amber stood up with her waist on her back, took out an orange from the cage and handed it to Qiu Yu: "Madame didn't plan for her to return it at all." This was also done for fear that she would borrow money from Madame in the future. ”

Thinking about it, it makes sense.

The previous debt has not been repaid, so you can't borrow it again!

but two hundred taels of silver...... It's too much...... However, Madame has always had plenty of money in her hands...... During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Hou Ye gave his wife 1,000 taels of silver...... It's not bad for this bit of silver......

Thinking about it this way, she was a little angry.

She smiled and put this matter behind her, and took a half-yellow orange with a smile: "Is this a reward from Madame?" Two days ago, the palace rewarded a basket for the lady! ”

It's not the season for oranges yet.

"It's not!" There was a rare shyness in Amber's smile, "Your brother-in-law asked someone to buy it." ”

Qiu Yu looked at the oranges in his hand, and covered his mouth with a smile without smiling: "Good sister, you take it out and eat it for me, if your brother-in-law knows, don't you want to settle accounts with me?" ”

Amber blushed: "There's something to eat and I can't plug your mouth!" ”

Qiu Yu laughed even harder.

Go back and tell Shi Niang.

Eleven Niang also laughed.

Tell Xu Lingyi in the evening.

Xu Lingyi looked at the happy Eleven Niang and couldn't help but quip: "It's just an orange, although it's rare, but you don't need to be happy like this!" ”

I knew what she was talking about, but I had to lift the bar with her to be comfortable.

Eleven Niang glanced at him, turned around and entered the clean room.

Xu Chongyi smiled.

Talking to her through the fan in the clean room.

"Tomorrow, Dou Ge Lao invited me to climb the mountain. I'm going to take my brother with me. You'll help see what he's dressed up tomorrow. ”

Dou Ge Lao is a new cabinet elder after the "Yang Illegal Profit Case". It is said that he has just passed the age of not being confused, and he is honest and resolute, and he dares to speak out.

Shi Niang couldn't help but chuckle: "He just took the stage and invited you to climb the mountain?" ”

Xu Lingyi said with a smile: "Otherwise, how can he be a pavilion elder!" ”

Also!

Eleven Niang said: "Who are the people who are going tomorrow?" Is it appropriate to take my brother to go? ”

"It's just mountaineering. It's not a grand occasion. When the time comes, there will be a large group of servants and followers. Let's take him out for a walk! ”

Xu Sijie was very envious when he heard it.

Xu Sizhen pulled Eleven Niang's sleeve: "Mother, you tell your father, let the fifth brother go with me!" The fifth brother has more leg strength than me, and he won't hold everyone back! ”

It's not a question of procrastination.

This is the Marquis of Yongping taking the son of Yongping to appear on a social occasion.
