It is said that the eldest master came to Sui'an Hall, and when he entered the door, he kowtowed respectfully to his mother, and only said: "My son has not served in front of his mother for a long time, and he is really unfilial." The old lady hurriedly asked Mama Qin to help him up, and scolded with a smile: "What a person, you still come to this set with your own mother." Relatives and mothers, don't beat around the bush, you can first tell your daughter-in-law what happened again! ”

The eldest man is so old, and his wife is so direct, and he is a little embarrassed, especially the maid and the mother-in-law are in front of him. Mama Qin watched him grow up, he didn't have to shy away from it, only the four little girls were there, this was a bit too much, she looked at her mother, and then at the four maids!

The old lady laughed angrily at his appearance, and sneered: "How much face did I save her before, but did she want your daughter-in-law?" Can she do it, and the people in front of me can't listen to it? ”

The eldest master didn't dare to say any more, and sneered: "Mother, I didn't mean that!" Then he said something in a hurry, although it was not comprehensive, but with the experience of the old lady, he sorted out a rough idea based on just this few words.

And Su Su also understood, not only staggering, but how the eldest lady's head looked!

Let's not talk about the money first, before there was any evil result, the eldest master found traces and drew back; is in charge of the house, a lot of money, and the eldest man is also open and blind because of the world.

Now, the eldest lady actually put the idea on the dowry for Mrs. Shizi, not only deducting the silver, but also privately replacing several antique utensils to play, which are shoddy. It was still the eldest young master who got some letters, and asked the big housekeeper Qiao to secretly carefully check the dowry that had been packed into boxes, which was exposed.

Even Su Su wanted to peel off the eldest lady's brain to see if there were any brains in it, but you can imagine the mood of Shizi at that time, Shizi is her biological son!

And the old lady was also wondering, was this daughter-in-law born to defeat their Song family?

The old lady didn't even bother to get angry, and only said lightly: "After all, she is the mother of Qinghe and the big girl, I won't say anything about the grounding, so I will ask her to copy the Buddhist scriptures in the courtyard, and I hope she can be influenced by Mrs. Dharma." When Qing and his daughter-in-law enter the door, the housekeeper's business will be handed over to her, and now I will accept it first. The three girls and the four girls are not small, and when they were in Yangzhou, they learned some housework with your three brothers and sisters, so it is good for them to practice their hands. ”

The eldest lord naturally didn't agree, but only talked about the three girls, and asked: "Speaking of the three girls, what is the charter in my mother's heart?" ”

The old lady smiled helplessly: "I originally wanted to entrust her to your second sister, saying that whether it is a landlord or a merchant, as long as the character can be worthy of the three girls, the family will be fine." It's just that he grew up by his side since he was a child, and except for the resignation of his relatives, everything else is obedient and does not fight or grab. It's her resignation, and it's not her fault. The second boy is useful, and he doesn't have to hurt the child's heart for a person with an unclear brain. ”

Speaking of this, the old lady sighed again, one of their two daughters-in-law is too stupid to carry clearly, and the other is too shrewd but loves to pretend, what kind of sin is she making? Thinking of these, the old lady really didn't think about the old lady who went first, and in those years, how much love was gone.

Suppressing these messy thoughts, the old lady said again: "I think that this time the test is coming, let's not worry about the first class, pick a good one from the second class jinshi, whether it is a cold family, if you have a big mind, you are not afraid, with the temperament of the third girl, it is not a problem to sit firmly in the position of the main room." ”

After talking about the three girls, and mentioning the four girls, the old lady said sadly: "The four girls are not small, carefully look for two useful grandmothers, it is best to understand medical science." Your sister can't make your daughter suffer again. ”

Even the eldest man knew it in his heart, and he couldn't help but blush when he heard this. Su Su didn't know that Concubine Xi was pregnant when she was still in the palace, but she was young at that time, and there was no one around her who could use it, and her mother's family was also out of reach, and she was killed at five months, and then the imperial doctor determined that it was difficult to get pregnant to save her life. After that, all kinds of precious medicinal materials were sent from Yangzhou to the capital like water, and Concubine Xi took more than ten years to conceive and give birth to the only baby.

When it comes to these things, the old lady hates it to death no matter how generous she is, it is the meat that fell from her pregnancy in October. There is a way, and she doesn't want to send another daughter of the Song family into the cannibalistic royal family, but there is no way. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the Song family has no foundation and is a piece of fat, just like a child holding a gold ingot, they must seek a refuge, they help the current emperor ascend the throne, and now they are putting their lives on King Ke, and can only send another daughter to King Ke's mansion.

The old lady and the eldest master were silent, and Su Su didn't dare to speak, but Mama Qin patted the old lady's hand and comforted: "Our eldest lady is a blessed person, and our little princess is even more blessed, that is, she is more favored by the saint than a prince." In a few days, it will be the first day of the new year, you can enter the palace to see the mother and the princess, and there is a banquet in the palace on August 15, just to celebrate the birthday of the little princess. ”

The old lady smiled and said, "I haven't seen the little princess since she was born, and now she is five years old." ”

The eldest lord also smiled and said: "Although the son can't enter the inner palace, the mother and the princess will reward things from time to time, and Qinghe and his mother have also been summoned by the mother a few times, saying that our little princess is the same as the mother." The old lady listened carefully, as if she could describe her granddaughter's voice and face just by listening.

When it came to dinner, the Song family set up a family banquet and set up two tables in Sui'an Hall, one for men and one for each woman.

After the meal, the old lady left everyone to eat tea in the flower hall, in fact, she had something to say. After everyone sat down, the maids served tea, and the old lady looked at her son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren and said: "The dowry of Qinghe's generation is 80,000 taels, the dowry is 50,000 taels, and the concubines are the same." It is your business to add as much as you add to your father's and mother's privates, and I, as my grandmother, will give 20,000 taels to each person from the private room. ”

After speaking, he glanced at everyone, and said: "Only Qing and the end of the identity is different, is the heir of our uncle's mansion in the future, and married the daughter of the Marquis of Wenchang, I am in charge, pick out two boxes of objects from the public treasury, I am adding two boxes, and it is enough to give him a long face." Others don't have these things, and if you are not satisfied, you can say it today, so as not to hurt and anger in the future! ”

No matter how stupid the eldest lady is, she knows that this is to make a face for her son, so she won't say anything, but the second lady took a sip of tea slowly, and when she put down the tea bowl, she made a crisp sound, and when she saw everyone looking at her, she raised her head slightly, and her smile was very gentle, but what she said was not so good.

"Qinghe is the son of the world, pick out a few boxes of good Dongzi to give him a long face is also to give us the face of our parents, I have no opinion on being an aunt, but since ancient times, there is a difference, originally our family was a merchant, and we didn't pay attention to these things, but now the identity is different, if you make a fuss and don't divide it, let the imperial history know, I'm afraid it will hinder the future of the uncle and the second master."

This is a way that I don't agree with what the old lady said. Just look at what people say, it seems that it is completely for the sake of the overall situation.

The young master and girl who came out of the house, except for the fifth girl, who flashed her head slightly, the others didn't even blink their eyelids, and the old lady looked at it secretly and nodded.

The old lady also put down the tea bowl, the sweet white porcelain tea bowl, and when she put it down, she didn't make a sound at all, and said lightly: "In my eyes, no matter how concubine is my grandchildren......"
