Chapter 30: The Harvest
"Xiuyan, thank you so much." Mrs. Wang's body is better, Mrs. Wang's complexion is becoming more and more ruddy, and she doesn't need to be close to her every day, these days Mrs. Wang goes back to her yard to rest, so to Chen Xiuyan, Mrs. Wang is very grateful.
"By the way, I have already been to the Ning family school, let your nephew go over at three o'clock on the tenth day of the first month, find Wang Xiucai, he will lead you, and then there will be a gentleman to take the school, as long as you pass, you can enter." After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she didn't forget to whisper, "Mr. will come up with relatively simple questions, you don't need to worry." ”
Chen Xiuyan smiled and thanked her, "Thank you, Mrs. Wang." ”
Chen Xiuyan still didn't collect the consultation fee this time, "Mrs. Wang is pure filial piety, she thinks about the old lady wholeheartedly, and she has a high consultation fee, and the first time she gave it has actually reached all of it, not to mention that she helped me a lot." ”
"That's just the consultation fee, not enough for the medicine." Mrs. Wang said, "What's more, Xiuyan, you have been here so many times, and it is more expensive to visit the door. ”
Mrs. Wang's maiden family is a merchant, a lot of money, so she never bothered about the money, but the precious thing is that although she is the daughter of a merchant, she has no copper smell on her body, she is generous, her appearance is outstanding, and she can speak on the stage.
"Su Xin is right, Xiuyan, you just keep it." Mrs. Wang didn't forget to joke about her daughter-in-law, "Your Aunt Suxin has a thick dowry, and she is also in charge of the entire Wang family, and she is very rich." ”
"Mother." Mrs. Wang listened to her mother-in-law's affectionate call by her maiden name, and her heart was full of joy, this time because of her mother-in-law's illness, she did it herself, and Chen Xiuyan made her face, Mrs. Wang is now getting better and better for herself, and even taking Mrs. Wang to see Chen Xiuyan is more and more like.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was harmonious, and Chen Xiuyan reaped the benefits, and got the fifty taels of silver tickets given by Mrs. Wang, as well as two pieces of cloth, a lot of rouge gouache, a lot of fashionable head flowers, and an embroidered fan in the south of the Yangtze River...... Good things are enough to pack a box for Chen Xiuyan.
Mrs. Wang felt that no matter how much she should give Chen Xiuyan, Liu Qingxiu of the Liu Mansion found a medicinal herb for her mother-in-law, for the sake of her and the Ning family's Ning You, Mrs. Wang had set her baby girl out, and now as long as she thought of a girl hanging herself in the Liu Mansion and being Liu Zongbao's maid, it was as disgusting as swallowing a fly.
"Xiuyan, do you know that Chen Man'er?" Mrs. Wang cared about her daughter, and knew that Chen Xiuyan was also a member of the Chen family, so she asked her, "How does it look, and are your means very powerful?" ”
Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything, she also has a daughter, she understands her daughter-in-law's mind, if it weren't for the relationship between the Ning family, and the reputation of her daughter's family is not good for her daughter's family, she also wants to retire from this family.
"It's a scheming one, and he can do whatever it takes to achieve his goals." Chen Xiuyan did not hide Chen Man'er's affairs, in fact, she let Chen Man'er hang herself at the back door of the Liu Mansion, in addition to letting her learn a lesson, she also had the intention of letting the Wang family girl withdraw from her family.
In the book, Wang Yayu's life after getting married is not very comfortable, especially after Ning Youjin Sanyuan and the first, Liu Zhai relied on the Ning family chicken dog to ascend to heaven, Liu Zongbao was lustful, and he did not hide it after he was confident, marrying such a man, what good life would a woman have.
"But what I don't like even more is the Liu family." Chen Xiuyan originally told Liu Zhai and Chen Man'er about their intention to force themselves to be concubines, because she had a heavy word with Liu Qingxiu, and tried to change her name, "And I haven't seen Liu Zongbao at all, but I don't know if he has seen me or not." ”
People who have never seen it want people to be concubines are greedy for the beauty of the girl's family, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang frowned when they heard this.
Chen Xiuyan also said that Chen Man'er's sister Chen Cao'er sold herself to the Willow House, if the Wang family wants to know, they can get the news as soon as they ask, it is better to say it first, focusing on Chen Man'er's malice towards herself for no reason, the biggest possibility is that she can't see her better, such a person is terrible.
"I used to do a lot of stupid things when I was young, but now I understand it." Chen Xiuyan took what she had done in one sentence, did not hide it, and her attitude of admitting it made people feel generous.
Chen Xiuyan was sent back to Chenjia Village by Uncle Wang this time, and before getting out of the car, he handed him two boxes of flat wooden boxes, one bottle was to prevent heat stroke, and the other bottle was to prevent chapping his hands, and Uncle Wang accepted it with a smile and thanked him.
Because of the treatment of Mrs. Wang, Chen Xiuyan got a lot from the Wang family, there were one hundred taels before and after the silver ticket, and there were two boxes of fabrics, food, and gadgets, plus the silver money from selling ginseng and wild boar before, as well as the money given by the family, except for the money spent, Chen Xiuyan now also has one hundred and seventy taels of family funds.
This does not include the box given by Mrs. Wang, which contains a pair of golden hairpins, which is not light, and the harvest is quite rich.
The gold and silver Chen Xiuyan took it by herself and put it directly in the space, and gave it to Liu Shi to let her look at the arrangement.
"That's right, Lin Yun." At the dinner table, Chen Xiuyan smiled and mentioned the matter of asking the Wang Mansion to help recommend the Ning family, "I didn't get the right words before, so I didn't tell you, but today I have confirmed, I will go to the Ning family school on the tenth day of the first month, and I will be able to enter the school if I pass Mr.'s examination." ”
"Click" The chopsticks in Ning's hand fell directly to the ground, his eyes were round, his lips were slightly opened, and everyone stiffened.
"Sister-in-law, really?" Chen Linyun was overjoyed, but his eyes were full of disbelief.
"Hmm." Chen Xiuyan nodded, "I have also taken the school examination a few times in the past few days, which is very good, and I will definitely be able to pass the examination school smoothly." ”
"Little sister, is it Luo Xiucai who helped?" Chen Muzhu asked happily.
"Well, he also has a lot to do." Chen Xiuyan thought about it and replied, the Wang family was polite to him, in addition to curing Mrs. Wang, Luo Wenqian's credit is not small, he is liked by the Wang family, and he is inevitably loved by the house, "Luo Xiucai is the husband of Lord Wang's son, he taught in private, and said that he has made great progress, and he won Xiucai last year and became a classmate with Luo Xiucai." ”
Ning Shi regained his expression, looked at Chen Xiuyan in a complicated manner, and didn't say anything more, but he put a lot of effort into preparing the dowry later.
After the beginning of summer, on the seventh day of the fourth month, the Luo family's dowry gift came, including dowry, three livestock, cakes, wine, and fish...... It is a full eighteen loads, which is outstanding in the county, not to mention in the village, who has seen such a battle, and the Liu family has a long face.
A few days later, the Chen family became lively, and the next day there were relatives who came to add makeup, and the grandfather's family sent a cotton quilt weighing eight catties, as well as the silver hairpin and silver earrings that Liu took home when he went back; Shanghe Village sent a pair of silver bracelets, skein style, these days the He family in the county stall business is doing well; and Chen Xiujuan's side, Chen Xiuyan's dowry is really rich.
