Chapter 32: Changes in Southern Hunan (4)
Above the lobby, Master Yu coughed for a long time, the eldest lady kept muttering Buddhist scriptures in her mouth with Buddhist beads, the second aunt drank tea and looked relaxed, and the eldest young master and young master Shaosheng sat on one side, and there was still the wetness that Fang had just brought back from outside.
"This young aunt is really a big shelf, the master said please, but it hasn't arrived at this time, I don't know who I put in my eyes?" The eighteenth aunt followed the old man's back and shouted in a sharp voice.
"Slave and maid go and urge ...... again" Before the maid serving on the side finished speaking, she heard the voice of someone outside announcing that the young aunt had arrived.
Buddha Zhu listened, the teacup was put aside, and Master Yu's coughing suddenly stopped. Everyone looked up, only to see her long hair pulled up, combed into a flowing cloud bun, and then wearing a water and smoke crown, embedded with a red camellia, hanging long purple jade jade to the shoulders on both sides, red agate beads hanging in her ears, wearing a red long dress, with a long golden belt on both arms, with a length of one zhang, and the long skirt delayed behind, adding a flutter in the wealth and gorgeousness.
is worthy of being the daughter of the Rishi family, the richest man in Tianzhao Shangjia, and I am afraid that everyone has only this sentence in their hearts. This is also a fact that you want everyone to recognize, she is the Duanmu family, and the Duanmu family is wealth.
Qing Rang likes light colors on weekdays, and has never worn gorgeous decorations, and today's dress is afraid that it is the first time after marriage, she received a notice from the old man's room, so she went back to the house to change a set of clothes, and let Jin Niang take this.
The eighteenth aunt was born poor, although she has served beside the second aunt for many years and has seen a lot of the market, but today Qingrang's body made her very amazing, but what made her heart tremble even more, the kind of arrogant look in Qingrang's face.
Qing Rang leaned over and saluted, Master Yu began to cough again, the Buddha beads in the eldest lady's hand began to rotate again, and the second aunt got up and handed a stack of letters on the table to Qing Rang, "You have been in charge of the family for a while, and you are very organized in terms of heart, but last time I disagreed with your decision to take over the land, and now there are many people who write to the master to expel you from Yu Mansion, I advise you to do it yourself." ”
There is really everything in the letters, and some people even say that it was because she married into the Yu family and brought bad luck that the iron ore was depleted.
"You came to Nanxiang not long ago, maybe you don't know much, my Yu family has been stationed in Nanxiang for generations, the first family motto is to put the people first, now Nanxiang is in great trouble, the people who stay in Nanxiang are because of the trust in our Yu family, although I have always valued you, but I don't approve of this land resumption." The eldest lady Jiang accepted the Buddha beads, "We all know the chaos outside the door, in order to calm the people's anger, I will discuss with the master, or let Shaosheng take charge first." ”
"In such troubled times, the man has to be in charge." The eighteenth aunt was too helpful, but Qing let a look drift over, she put away the smile on the corner of her mouth again, and lowered her head to beat the old man's back.
"Dad, mother, my husband has an explanation before he goes out, and I won't let this family out."
Qing Rang knelt on the ground, and Shaosheng stepped forward to help him, "Brother and sister, the head of this family will always be Zichen, and now it is just an expedient measure, you have also seen those people in Fangcai, everyone is for your safety." ”
"Thank you for your hard work, but acting for your husband is a good duty."
"You're just a quiet aunt, don't think of yourself as the main room." The eighteenth aunt said this impulsively, but after speaking, she obviously knew that she had lost her words, and secretly glanced at the second aunt a few times.
"Duty, Qingrang has always been guarded, but the husband has a parting word, special things should be dealt with specially, otherwise it should be someone else in Puqing Temple now, after all, the husband has not cared about iron ore for several years." Qing Rang said this is Shaosheng, but it is said to the eighteenth aunt, if it is really investigated, Shaosheng is in charge of the iron mine, and the Yu family can use Shaosheng to replace it.
The eighteenth aunt was silent on the side, and the second aunt stepped forward, "You have a heart for the Yu family, and the old lady knows it, but now that the Yu family is safe, and the people of Nanxiang are also seeking stability, why do you have to make a big deal about recovering the land?" ”
"The second aunt has been taking care of the family's accounts, you know the geometry of the Yu family's background best, and the accumulation of the ancestors is enough for the Yu family to spend a few years, but what about the future? The people of Nanxiang are the same as the Yu family, and there is some small money accumulated in the family, and it will not be a problem in a few days, but how long can such a day pass, most of the men in Nanxiang are good at mining, not good at farming, if they can't harvest grain in the coming year, then Nanxiang is really in chaos. ”
The second aunt's maiden family is the Xilang Chen family, which used to be a rich party, but a natural disaster lost a lot.
"If Qingrang is for himself, for just his husband, then even if Nanxiang is chaotic, the Yu family can still be rich until my generation is old, but if Nanxiang is poor, the status of the Yu family will also fall, not to mention, Yichan will be older in a few years, she should talk about marriage, if Nanxiang is looked down upon, how can she choose her preferred husband."
The eldest lady's Buddha beads paused, she knew that Qing Rang had already touched her lifeline, and that was Yichan. Although there was a hint of threatened displeasure in her heart, she had to admit that what Qing Rang said was reasonable. She also had plans for Nanxiang in her early years, and after sincerely worshipping the Buddha, she abandoned these mundane things, "If you know what you are doing, then it is good, it is useless for you to convince us now, there are thousands of people in Nanxiang, leave some spittle stars to explain to them." ”
The meaning of the eldest lady's words is afraid that everyone here will understand, Master Yu just waved and said just do it, everyone seems to be planning to disperse like this, but Qingrang suddenly waved his hand, "I still have something to ask you, I originally wanted to run aground for a while to have other plans, but now there is such a mess, it is obvious that someone has leaked the news, and the people have come to the door to discuss the law, which has ruined the reputation of my Yu family, and this is a violation of the family law of the Yu family, I invited the family law, and waited in the reward and punishment hall, if no one comes to receive the crime, the punishment will be halved in the next month." ”
Everyone stood there, their expressions different, and Qing Rang turned around and strode out of the lobby, his usual skirt resting on the floor and sweeping away the dust.
Master Yu coughed, but he also told the truth, "Duanmu Anrui has a pearl in his palm, but it is really cheap for the Yu family's baby." ”
