Volume 3: A Thousand Poems of Autumn Se 6, Red Luan Trembling 2

After the Tou Ji family went back to the house with the second lady, the Nian family dispersed and went their own way.

The fourth lady and the second grandmother, and the fourth grandmother are in charge of the operation of the family, and the daughter-in-law who is waiting for a reply will probe her brain here, and when the guests go, they will also quit the old lady. The third lady never invited the old lady to see her, and the fifth grandmother would not make do with anything if she had nothing to do, and the old lady was impatient when she looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and sent them away in two sentences. Grandma Nine was left with a group of sisters-in-law to accompany the old lady to have fun.

Back to the courtyard of the four-room Xilutang, the fourth lady entered the inner room, the second grandmother and the fourth grandmother sat on the outer hall to take over the matter, and the housekeepers and daughters-in-law began to come in turn to reply, and the two grandmothers who can call the shots are in charge, and if they can't, they will ask the fourth lady to show them.

Sent a few pairs of cards out, a daughter-in-law came back and said that the men outside were scattered, the second master and the fourth master were going out, and the word came in to say that they didn't have to wait for lunch, and asked the two grandmothers to use it themselves.

As soon as this head responded, he asked the people who followed him to bring this and that, and another daughter-in-law came in and replied: "Earlier, the old lady promised the ninth master to go out to visit friends, and he could pay a hundred taels of silver from the official. The ninth master said that he would pay fifty taels first, and wait for him to go out and use it. ”

The two listened and looked at each other, the second grandmother's eyes drifted back, the fourth grandmother frowned, told the daughter-in-law to wait, got up and went to the house to ask the fourth lady.

The fourth lady was flipping through the scriptures on the shelf, and she didn't look back, but said, "What did the old lady ask?" Give it to him. ”

When the fourth grandmother was about to go out, she was called back. "Who went back and forth?" Just say that I will tell Jiulang not to be too casual, but the silver flower. The old lady is looking forward to him doing his homework well, so that he has some sense of proportion in his heart, and he will not lose his duty. ”

The fourth grandmother bowed down and answered, came back and paid the right cards to send people. I paid a dozen or so pairs of cards and went out, but gradually no one came. I just waited for lunch.

Seeing that the housekeeper's daughter-in-law and mother-in-law were all scattered, the house was full of henchmen. The fourth grandmother whispered to the second grandmother: "Two days ago, it was said that the old lady didn't like Lao Jiu to go out to socialize and eat, so let him read in the house." This is good, it has only been two days, and it has become a matter of asking for more silver, and he is called out. Is this forbidden or connived at him? ”

The second grandmother said slowly: "What's the matter, let's see if I can come back with a huiyuan." If he can, it will not be in vain for the old lady to love him; If you win the champion again......"

The fourth grandmother snorted. deliberately lowered his voice, poked his head over and said, "I just hit Xie Yuan, and I'm about to fly into the sky; If this can really be 'three yuan and first', you can't drill the sky out of a hole?! ”

The second grandmother couldn't help but smile and said, "You are just playful." ”

The fourth grandmother also pursed her lips and smiled, and was about to say more, when she suddenly saw Sister-in-law Kou poking her head outside. She originally wanted to find Sister-in-law Kou's bad luck, but when she was scattered over there just now, Sister-in-law Kou slipped away quickly. was not caught, but it was sent to the eyes at this time, and the fourth grandmother couldn't help but sink her face and shouted, "Look at what?" Won't reply? There are no rules at home or outside! Madame doesn't care about you, and you don't know who you are?! ”

Kou Hui and his wife were originally one of the confidants of the fourth master, because they did not flatter the fourth lady. And he got this errand of welcoming guests. This kind of fat difference is not to mention that the goose plucked its feathers and dropped the silver, and every time it was used to being praised by those outsiders who gave gifts, they also thought they were right, and gradually there was no one in their eyes. Although it was later assigned to the fourth grandmother, in the hearts of the two of them, they still regarded themselves as the number one celebrity around the four masters and four wives, and felt that everyone had to come to their own house, even if they were not convinced by the little masters.

At this time, Sister-in-law Kou saw that the fourth grandmother attacked her, and her heart was not so happy, and she was secretly unlucky. She actually didn't take it too seriously, and it was the first thing to pick up the Ji family, but she always stared at her when she looked at the fourth grandmother in Songhe Hall. Naturally, he didn't lean forward to the ground. It is to hide far away as soon as it is scattered. Originally, she was looking for a few mothers-in-law to eat and drink and play money, but as soon as she went out, she met her man Kou Hui. Kou Hui had just finished counting the Ji family's gift list, and was in a hurry to do the stubble, and at this time she couldn't find the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper next to her, and she didn't care what her mother-in-law said, she threw the gift list into her hand, and asked her to talk back and forth, and left. Sister-in-law Kou couldn't do anything, she couldn't stop anyone when she looked at anyone going in and out, and she was afraid that she wouldn't understand what was going on, so she came over awkwardly.

Although she was not satisfied with the fourth grandmother, she didn't dare to contradict it openly, so she only gave the list, said the Ji family's gift list, and said it again according to Kou Hui's explanation.

The fourth grandmother listened with a cold face, raised her hand and asked the maid to take the list, and then began to train her sister-in-law. The second grandmother knew what was going on before, and she had not been able to call Sister-in-law Kou in the past, and she held a grudge in her heart, so she was also slowly slipping around, and this crime escalated from being unkind to being angry with the guests to not having an old lady in her eyes.

Although Sister-in-law Kou lowered her head, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and open her mouth, this crime has risen a little faster, and the land has inevitably become bigger! After listening to a few more words, she really couldn't bear this charge, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to refute it. As everyone knows, the two grandmothers are waiting for her argument, and immediately asked the maid to reply inside, saying that there is no old lady and lady in the eyes of Sister-in-law Kou, and the grandmother reprimanded her, and she still didn't accept it and clashed and shouted.

The fourth lady was concentrating on the table copying a pure heart mantra that she had just opened, and she was extremely pure and detached, and she didn't seem to care about the things in the world, so she only waved her hand and asked the eldest girl Qingwu to spread the word - "The family has a family law, why bother asking?" Hit the master, slap the mouth; There was no master in his eyes, so he hit the board and threw it out. ”

Sister-in-law Kou listened to the words of the real master, only to know that she was afraid, knowing that the family heirloom law is known to the family, it is really embarrassing to lose a lot of hair, and it is not easy to say how to get off the stage in the end, so she didn't wait for the fourth grandmother to open her mouth, she knelt on the ground, and began to pump her own mouth, with a stalk in her heart, but she was soft and begged for mercy, and she was more pitiful than the other.

The fourth grandmother wanted to get rid of this unsubdued guy in one go, but the second grandmother thought more, after all, Kou Hui was still a little decent in front of the fourth master, and it was not a paper paste that could be poured by blowing casually, Kou's sister-in-law was soft, so it was better to give a step down, so that she would be afraid and then give sweetness. It took a few times like this to be accepted. The two exchanged a few dumb words and exchanged glances, but the fourth grandmother first chilled her face and reprimanded a few words, and the second grandmother appeared again, saying some mercy and kindness, and told her to be good in the future, and sent her away.

Sister-in-law Kou kowtowed as if she was grateful. Bi respectfully bowed and withdrew. When I arrived in the courtyard, I was not so pitiful immediately. Glaring at a few little maids who were standing like warnings, he turned around and strode out, touching his cheeks as he walked. It didn't hurt much. Turning to the hall, she saw that there was no one left and right, she spat fiercely, and cursed in a low voice, first angry that the fourth lady was ruthless, then angry at the little master for being unjust, and annoyed that the second lady was immoral, and finally all the resentment fell on the Ji family - if they didn't come. Where can there be so many things!

Sister-in-law Kou hated the Ji family, but the second grandmother and the fourth grandmother praised it tightly - just that list of rich gifts was enough to dazzle people's eyes.

The two of them secretly tasted in their hearts, and their mothers were all members of the court, but if they talked about visiting relatives, they would definitely not be able to take so much. The two of them muttered a little, and heard that the Ji family had no family background at all. It was all brought over by Ji Zheng's dowry. This Ji Zheng's dowry is obviously the same as the eldest lady, how can the eldest lady not see so much in the shop, and Ji Zheng's is not a serious relative, but he can take so much. Although the whole family came over, it was impossible for anyone to go bankrupt to go to relatives and give gifts, which shows that her family has to have several times more family resources.

"The original way, they are small households...... the fourth grandmother shook her head and sighed, "It opened my eyes." ”

The second grandmother lowered her eyelids, took tea, and swept around with her afterglow, and several maids retreated. She said slowly, "That's all you want ......," she said, spreading out a slender jade hand. Five shallot-like fingers pressed on the table, and sighed: "Our old lady is really kind. It's a short face and a sincere ......"

The fourth grandmother was stunned. Then I thought, yes, if Ji Zheng's dowry can turn over so much silver, then the income from the eldest lady's dowry shop will definitely not be handed over to the officials!! After so many years, how much has the fifth master swallowed privately? Now the whole shop has swallowed up all the profits.

"Alas, it's all honest people who suffer......" The fourth grandmother was full of emotion, and she didn't want to be anyone's family, so she felt that the official's own share had shrunk greatly, and she really suffered a loss. I also think that the fourth master is a family member, but he connived at this brother, no matter how much money he lost, he really shouldn't have said how much money he had lost!

"So......" The fourth grandmother suddenly rolled her eyes, lowered her voice and almost whispered: "It's better to let her make trouble......" said and spread out one hand and stretched out five fingers.

The second grandmother looked at her nose and nose, her mouth and her heart, as if she hadn't heard it, she only looked at the tea in the cup with her eyebrows and chin in her mouth, took a sip lightly, and said, "It's almost noon, are we waiting for Mrs. to eat, or go to the old lady's side?" ”

The fourth grandmother put on a solemn face, replaced it with a relaxed smile, and said, "I'll ask Madame, just to see this list with Madame." I still have to go back to the old lady's land next morning,—— and I still have to give the old lady's land. ”

She stood up, suddenly paused, turned around and leaned towards the second grandmother, and said with a smile: "Look at me, I'm confused." Sister-in-law, you said, although this eldest aunt is dead, she can break the bones and connect the tendons, the Ji family is a serious relative of our family, and it is more trustworthy than others. This old twelfth and thirteenth are not young years old, I look at Miss Ji...... You said...... Yes......? ”

The second grandmother's mouth was on the edge of the teacup, she paused when she heard the words, turned a few thoughts in her mind, and finally raised her hand slightly, and the tea overflowed her lips and tongue all the way into the stomach and intestines that seemed to be eating fireworks in the world, and finally said: "The old lady is here, where is our turn to be the sister-in-law?" Besides, there are no ......," she gestured with her thumb and little finger to six.

The fourth grandmother raised her eyebrows and said, "That one's body is ...... It's not that I'm cruel, who looks at him doesn't have a day today and tomorrow, and the ginseng hangs every day? It's not good to be able to support it, can you still be an official? The Ji family is not a fool either. Our family's old twelve and thirteen are strong, all of them are smart, and it is only a matter of one or two years to make a name for themselves, as long as we mention ...... first. And, sister-in-law, this is a big deal in our house......" She stopped talking, motionless, and only looked at the second grandmother.

The rules of the family are that the children of each house are married to the head of their own house. Only the ninth master is an exception, but this exception is because he is the first Xie Yuan of the Nian family, and the old lady broke the rules when he was happy. Isn't everything "first" the latest? So there is definitely no one who can get such treatment again. The dowry of the seven ladies in the four rooms, the dowry of the twelve and thirteen masters, and the money for doing things have to be paid by the four rooms themselves.

The master of the Ji family is white, even if Ji Songshu takes the top prize, the direct official grade is very limited, and there is not much pomp and circumstance to marry his family, how much silver will be saved for the fourth room in this case alone? ! And the Ji family only has one son and one daughter, so the marriage of Miss Ji must be extremely rich! How much silver is there in this room?

This Miss Ji is young, she looks very honest and quiet, and she has no family background behind her, she is not like a kitten when she enters the Nian family, what does she listen to when she says what her sisters-in-law! If you turn back to the dowry field shop, as long as you let the housekeeper of the Nian family run it, the dividends must be paid to the officials.

Whose money does the official have? In the final analysis, it's everyone's, and it's everyone's expense at this time; In the future, everyone will have a share!!

The second grandmother looked at the fourth grandmother's expression, and knew that she was forcing her to express her position, and she couldn't fill the painted mud tire dumb bodhisattva, so she had to smile and say: "You think very thoughtfully." It's just that it can't be done, it's really not what we say. You and I are all thinking about the little brother, so let's go in together and ask the lady what she means......"

PS: There is a power outage in the whole area today. It was dark before the call came. I'm sorry that the code was only sent up at this point. %》_《%。 。 。 。

By the way, fortunately the call came, otherwise I died tragically today. Today is the first heavy snow of this winter on my side of my house, and there is no boiler without electricity, and there is no heating; And without electricity, all the electric mattresses and other household heaters will not work. It must be frozen hard overnight......

In modern society, it's really not good to have no electricity...... t_t
