Chapter 50: Mother and Son Quarrel
After all, Mrs. An has been a duchess for decades, and she has also experienced the glory of the Guogong Mansion back then, and she still has a lot of knowledge in the world. She weighed the pros and cons in her mind at once.
Letting the two concubines out is just one of the two maids missing in front of them, but if you can get a favorable in-law, this is a huge benefit.
Mrs. An's heart is called a lot, but in a blink of an eye, she thought it clearly, and said to her son: "Ping'er, since you think it's good, I naturally agree." Today, you can bring your two younger sisters with you. ”
Seeing his mother talking so well, Qin Ping was overjoyed, originally, he had prepared a lot of rhetoric, wanting to persuade his mother, but he didn't expect it to be so easy to achieve.
Qin Ping couldn't help but be very excited: "It's still reasonable for my mother." My two younger sisters were born to my father's favorite aunt. Those sluts are annoying, but they are all good-looking. I looked at it coldly, these two sisters have been a little better looking than those slut aunts back then. If you want to discipline your grandmother and raise her well, then ask the female gentleman to teach. ”
"Coupled with their identity, they were originally the daughters of Guogong, the sister of the current Guogong, and the aunt of the future national teacher. Well, if your mother agrees to give them a name in your name, they're considered a descendant. In addition, their biological mother has not been in the house for many years. It is raised under your knees. Although over the years, they have only been doing rough work by their mother's side, but how do these outsiders know, they will feel that they are raised by their mother's side. Tsk, raised and taught by my mother, this identity is a little more valuable. In the future, when you come to kiss, you will be able to talk about better people. ”
Qin Ping has already begun to pull the powerful people in the capital in his heart, and he has a sweet dream.
However, Mrs. An, who was smiling on the side, changed her face: "What did you say?" You're going to put those two little sluts in my name? Want to be my concubine? Just because they are worthy? ”
This has touched Mrs. An's bottom line. How could she tolerate the children of these two enemies to become her daughters?
Mrs. An was furious: "This can't be done, I have a daughter myself, and you have two sisters-in-law." Shi Niang, the two sluts want to be my daughter, are they worthy? is just a slut who is raised by a prostitute, how can she be worthy of being the daughter of the princess? ”
Seeing his mother's incomprehensible appearance, Qin Ping could only slowly persuade: "Mother, isn't this an expedient measure?" How can a girl from a concubine climb to a high house? Only by putting them under your name can you climb to the top of the power, not to mention anything else, my mother also knows the rules of the capital. The dowry of a concubine is different from that of a concubine. That's real money, huh? Mother is willing to push it out? Otherwise, in the future, I will find my in-laws for Shi Niang, and the dowry will be directly given to my mother. ”
Qin Ping said that his heart was already hurting. If this money goes into his mother's pocket, then he won't be able to take it out at all, basically, it will be given to the second brother's family. This mother is too eccentric.
Mrs. An was originally furious, but as soon as she heard the word money, her mood immediately calmed down, and after careful calculation, she felt that it was still a very good deal. It's just a name, what's the big deal? However, can you get a dowry of 30%, the dowry of the daughter of the capital Guogong Mansion, can it be less?
After this calculation, Mrs. An almost nodded in agreement. But as soon as she saw her son Qin Ping's expectant eyes, she shook her head again. This son has to be beaten well.
Seeing that the old lady was still shaking her head, Qin Ping couldn't help it: "Mother, there are already a lot of thirty percent." I can't give you more. You know, I can't get ten percent, I always have to take care of face, and put two or three percent in the dowry, otherwise, the dowry is not at all, and it doesn't look good, right? Among the remaining four or fifty percent, I still have to ask my grandmother to discipline me, and I also have to ask the female gentleman to teach, not to mention, I also want Mingyue to take them to socialize, which requires making clothes, jewelry, and buying maids. It can cost a lot. Calculated up, the thirty percent that my mother got is the net profit, and I estimate that in the end, it would be good to get one or two CDs. ”
Mrs. An thought about it, and it was not easy for her eldest son. However, after letting it go so gently, Mrs. An felt a little at a loss, and sighed for a while, she said, "Okay, three achievements and three percent." However, I still have a few conditions that you must agree to. ”
Qin Ping's head was already sweating: "Mother, how many conditions are there?" ”
Mrs. An hurriedly said: "Actually, there are not a few conditions. It's just that I thought that since you were going to invite a grandmother and a female gentleman to teach. Anyway, teaching Shi Niang and Mingzhu is also teaching, so it's better to have a few more girls, so that we won't invite them in vain. It's no one else, it's just a few girls in your brother's family, and it's also the children of our Liguo family? They are all girls from the Qin family. Also, in your two sisters' family, although their family does not have to worry about eating and drinking, how can they invite a grandmother from the palace to raise them? I just took this opportunity to ask a few of their girls to come to learn. ”
When Qin Ping heard this, this was not too difficult, so he simply agreed to forget it.
Qin Ping was about to nod, but suddenly calculated in his heart, and couldn't help but be furious: "Mother, your condition is too difficult for a strong person, right?" How many girls are there in my brother's family? He now has two concubines, and three concubines. Are you all coming? That's five. He has more of a family than we do. plus two younger sisters, Sanniang's Wang family, and Liuniang's Liang family. Even if they don't let their concubines come, just the concubines they gave birth to, there are three in total, and if they all come, wouldn't there be a total of eight? Add four to us, that's twelve? ”
"Mother, twelve little girls, how do you teach other people's grandmothers? There aren't so many people in the academy, right? Besides, do you still think that our current Guogong Mansion is the former Guogong Mansion? Now our east road, west road, and the garden behind us have long been mortgaged out. We can only nest in this half of the middle road, we all live in a cramped place, my sisters-in-law have no independent yards, where do you want me to find a place for their twelve little girls to study? ”
"These houses go out, it seems that they are still the mother's shot back then, right? Mother, you don't know? ”
"Besides, these dozen little girls are here, these clothes, meals, snacks, tea, and serving maids are all expenses, is this cost for the younger brothers and sisters?"
"Or are you coming out?"
When Mrs. An heard this, she was not happy when she asked her to pay: "This is all your niece and niece, how to teach me an old woman to pay." Where do I have money, the rights of the steward have been taken away from you, how can I still have money? Oh my God, how did I give birth to you who is not filial? ”
Mrs. Ann began to cry.
Qin Ping looked at the old lady of Sapo, and really couldn't figure it out, how could she be the Duchess of Liguo back then?
