Chapter 248: Failed
Seeing that her husband objected, Fan knew that she could not say any more, so she hurried into the inner room, found a black lacquered box in the baffle with the pattern of the shepherd boy playing the flute at the head of the bed, and found out the title deed of the hill and handed it to Yu Jingxiu.
Yu Jingxiu took the title deed and went to the study.
Fan sat on the Luohan bed and fanned his daughter, but his mind was in a mess, thinking about the title deed that Yu Jingxiu had taken.
When they got married, the Yu family bought them more than 8,000 taels of private property, and more than 2,000 taels of silver came in every year. In addition, she was married highly, and her father was afraid that the people of the Yu family would look down on her, so he stood on tiptoe and bought her a dowry, and she also had an income of eight or nine hundred taels of silver a year. On weekdays, they chew and use it in the public school, and they still have a monthly case of fifty taels of silver every month, Yu Jingxiu needs to take care of his official affairs on weekdays, and he has also taken his father-in-law's account, so they don't have to use their own silver at all.
Although her husband didn't say anything, she knew in her heart that if such a big thing happened to the Yu family, she must have spent money to make a little bit of money.
The Yu family has been a family for a hundred years, rich and glorious, Mrs. Yu's maiden family Shu is also a well-known family in the south of the Yangtze River, it is said that the dowry of the year was not more than 10,000 gold, why is it difficult for the family to this point, the husband would rather sell the land than let the mother-in-law know?
Or, the mother-in-law is also stretched thin? That's why the husband was embarrassed to speak......
Thinking of this possibility, she felt a little impetuous.
Her husband can't hide something from her, right?
Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs?
But don't let her eyes go black, she doesn't know anything, and she doesn't even have a way to deal with it!
Thinking about it, the feather fan in his hand couldn't help but "snort".
The ink seal that came in with a watermelon said "ouch", and said busily: "Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Be careful to scare the eldest lady! ”
Fan came back to his senses and handed the fan to the little maid on the side.
Mo Zhan handed over the watermelon: "The watermelon sent from Shandong, can you taste it, is it sweet?" ”
Fan took the watermelon, but didn't eat it. Instead, he sent the people who served around him, and whispered to Mo Zhen: "You pay attention, what has the uncle been doing these days?" ”
Mo Zhan was very surprised, and said, "But what's the matter with the uncle?" ”
Fan didn't hide it from her, and told Mo Zhen that Yu Jingxiu was going to sell the mountain.
Mo Zhen chuckled in his heart.
She had never heard of wealthy families buying land, but she had never heard of selling land.
"I see." She answered Fan in a condensed voice, "If there is any movement on Uncle's side, I will come to you." ”
Fan nodded.
His brow furrowed involuntarily.

Fu Tingyun was laughing and laughing.
“…… Shen Ge has been the secretary of the Ministry for more than ten years, and the appointment and dismissal of large and small officials in the DPRK and China are all from him. Now that Shen Ge is old, I am afraid that the pattern of this dynasty will change. The seventh brother-in-law said excitedly, "If you don't say anything else, let's just talk about the experience of the political envoy and the vacancy of the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate." The people who originally walked the old sect of Shen Pavilion are now afraid that they will want to cry without tears. ”
Compared with the seventh brother-in-law, the third brother-in-law seems to be much calmer.
He smiled and nodded, and said, "I wondered at the time, why this year's vacancies have not been decided for a long time, it turns out that Shen Ge is too busy to take care of himself......"
Fu Tingyun couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "It turns out that the third brother-in-law's words that told me 'don't worry' were all said to me - it turns out that you don't have a bottom in your heart!" ”
The third brother-in-law was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "In the end, you can't hide it from the ninth sister!" ”
The seventh brother-in-law said on the side: "The matter of the third brother-in-law should be about it soon, right?" ”
"Not necessarily." The third brother-in-law said with a smile, "There has been such a big change in the court, there are many things to do!" What we are waiting for is a great thing in our eyes. In the eyes of the elders, it is insignificant. I'm afraid this matter will drag on for another month or two. ”
"It's been so long!" The seventh brother-in-law was very disappointed.
"It's good to settle in a month or two." The third brother-in-law was very calm and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I don't have anything to do these days, didn't you get a 'poetry club', this is a good time to appreciate the lotus, if you go out one day, call me too!" ”
"Okay!" The seventh brother-in-law laughed teasingly. "We're sending a makeover."
Everyone laughed.
The third brother-in-law saw that it was not too early, and got up to say goodbye.
Fu Tingyun thought that the third cousin had been resting on his side for the past few days, and persuaded the third cousin to go back: "...... The full moon ceremony has also been done, and I can also get off the kang, so my brother-in-law can't be alone without someone to take care of, right? If anything happens, I'll send my mother-in-law to you. ”
The third cousin thought about it and felt that Fu Tingyun's words made sense, packed up her things, and received spring cakes and Lantern Festival. went out with the third brother-in-law and the seventh brother-in-law.
Yoyou asked Fu Tingyun: "When will Brother Chun Cake come again?" "I look reluctant.
Fu Tingyun couldn't help but be a little curious.
Mother Tong explained with a smile: "The young master of the Shen family doesn't know where to learn to weave grasshoppers with straw, and the eldest lady likes it very much. In the past few days, the eldest lady and the second cousin of the Shen family have followed the eldest cousin of the Shen family to learn to weave grasshoppers! ”
"Really?" Fu Tingyun smiled and hugged her daughter in her arms and said, "Then have you learned?" ”
Yo You nodded straightly: "I won't, my eldest cousin has always taught me." Then he leaned into his mother's ear and said, "I tell you quietly." You can't tell anyone...... The second uncle read the book wrong, and the eldest cousin told him that the second uncle's face was redder than the small jacket I was wearing. ”
Fu Tingyun was stunned.
No wonder Asen was a little uncomfortable when he met Spring Cake.
She also wondered why Ah Sen, who liked children the most, didn't pay much attention to the two children of the Shen family...... So that's what happened!
Fu Tingyun hooked up with her daughter: "Then you can't tell other people!" ”
Yo You hurriedly hooked up with her mother, covered her mouth and said, "I won't tell anyone." ”
Fu Tingyun couldn't help laughing.
Yoyo threw herself into her mother's arms with joy.
Since Fu Tingyun was pregnant with Brother Xu, she would be cautious when she hugged Yoyou occasionally.
Fu Tingyun hugged her daughter back, kissed her little face, and left Yoyou to rest in her room at night.
Brother Xi knew that he was also yelling to sleep with his mother.
Fu Tingyun simply asked people to hug Brother Xu.
Yo Yo and Brother Xi pulled Brother Xu's hand for a while, and touched Brother Xu'er's feet for a while, making Brother Xu really hum, but Yo You and Brother Xi were very happy.
Fu Tingyun hugged Brother Xu and didn't let Youyou and Brother Xi mess with him.
The two children lay on Fu Tingyun's body and watched Brother Xu sleep.
Yoyo asked her mother, "When I was young, did I always sleep like my little brother?" ”
Childlike talk, I kept laughing until I fell asleep.
Fu Tingyun looked at her sleeping daughter and son, and her heart was only full. Particularly down-to-earth.
After settling the child the next day, she sat down to write to Zhao Ling.
Pearl hurriedly walked in: "Madam, the third aunt is here." ”
Fu Tingyun was stunned.
The third sister just ran over yesterday, why did she run over again today?
She put down her pen and instructed Pearl to welcome her third cousin into the inner room.
Pearl shouted "yes" and walked briskly out of the inner room.
Fu Tingyun didn't pack up his pen and ink and went out.
The third cousin just opened the curtain and entered, and the two sisters met in the hall.
"The third sister is sitting in the house." Fu Tingyun said. The third cousin grabbed her wrist.
"Ninth sister," she couldn't hide the joy on her face, "early this morning, the Ministry of Officials sent someone to call your brother-in-law, saying that your brother-in-law had made up for the lack in the left side of the Ministry of Officials. Ask your brother-in-law to go to the ministry to fill out the selection book......"
"Really?" Fu Tingyun was surprised and delighted, "Why is it so sudden?" Is the message accurate? ”
"Accurate, accurate." The third cousin hurriedly said, "The one who came to report the news was a director of the Ministry of Officials, who came in person, brought a servant, and spoke very politely...... Your third brother-in-law asked me to come here and wait for you, and he came out of the ministry and came directly to you. ”
Fu Tingyun nodded again and again. Ask the third cousin if she has had breakfast.
"Where can I still eat!" The third cousin smiled disapprerovingly, "I'm afraid I'm dreaming." As he spoke, let Fu Tingyun pinch her arm, "See if I hurt?" ”
provoked Fu Tingyun to laugh and told Yuwei to bring some early to the third cousin.
The third cousin was there chatting with Fu Tingyun: "...... Your brother-in-law often told me that geese have left a voice, and people have left a name...... He was hell-bent on doing something big...... Ben is full of ambition and ready to make a big difference. Who knew that he didn't order the gastros...... finally found the position of Daxing County Lord, but before he arrived, his mother-in-law suddenly died of illness...... Although he still looks diligent, I know that he is uncomfortable......"
I didn't expect the third brother-in-law to order the post of Daxing County Lord!
Fu Tingyun comforted the third cousin: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on, and misfortunes and blessings come." Now the third brother-in-law has a vacancy in the matter of the left of the ministry, and he can be regarded as getting what he wants. ”
The third cousin couldn't stop nodding and took Fu Tingyun's hand: "It's all your credit." If it weren't for you, how could he have such a good shortage! "Again." Even if he smoothly served as the head of Daxing County back then, after three years of hard work, he may not be able to rise to the position of the left of the ministry. It is in response to your sentence 'Blessings and misfortunes depend on, and misfortunes and blessings come'. ”
The two of them talked, and soon it was noon.
The third brother-in-law came back from the ministry.
"How?" The third cousin couldn't help but greet him.
Fu Tingyun saw the third brother-in-law's face full of spring breeze and knew that the dust had settled.
Really. After the third brother-in-law smiled and said to the third cousin, "The officials asked me to take a break for two days and then go to work", he stepped forward and saluted Fu Tingyun: "It's done!" Then he said, "This matter is thanks to the help of the ninth sister." When the ninth brother-in-law comes back, I will have a good drink with him! ”
"The third brother-in-law is too polite!" Fu Tingyun hurriedly returned the blessing and said with a smile, "The third brother-in-law already has this qualification, I'm just pushing the boat down the river." ”
"The ninth sister is too humble." The third brother-in-law returned the salute and said with a smile, "If it weren't for the ninth sister, how could I make up for the shortage." He said, showing a little guilt, "I'm still so tired that Brother Xu was born early......"
"There is no fixed number for the child sooner or later," Fu Tingyun said busily, "Not to mention that our mother and son are safe." The third brother-in-law should not take it to heart. ”
The two of you say one sentence and I one sentence, the more you say, the more polite you are.
The third cousin laughed when she heard the "flutter" and said, "You are not tired, but I am tired." Then he said, "This is a family, let alone such a courtesy." As he spoke, he turned his head and asked the third brother-in-law, "Go and wash your face, let's have lunch at the ninth sister's place today!" He said to Fu Tingyun again, "You say, should we go to Tanzhe Temple and report a message to Mr. Wei?" ”
