Chapter 985: Famine, Natural Disasters 142
Cheng Yuandong shook his head.
Cheng Yuannan said: "Mother, what opinion can I have?" The money was earned by the little niece, and they should have given them a share. ”
"Then it's decided, the third family suffers a little; But our family is not separated, the money earned should have been handed over to the public high school, now the situation is special, the amount of silver earned by the children is too large, the family is in urgent need, so they will use it first, only this time. ”
Luo Cuihua's decision, Cheng Dazhu still felt that he had lost a pair of grandchildren.
However, Luo Cuihua was not wrong in making this decision, for the sake of a large family; Personal gains and losses don't matter.
"The house is built into three courtyards, and one of you enters it, just leave us a courtyard alone; In terms of materials, try to choose as many as possible, and you can ask our people to help you build a house, so that you can reduce the cost. Cheng Dazhu thought about it again and again, planning how much he could save, "Go to the mountains to cut the wood, and take advantage of the fact that the sun is big now, and put it in a cool place to dry in the shade." ”
"In this way, the most is the wages of the builders, and the silver to buy bricks and tiles. Take your time with other things, we have a lot of family, and we can always make a decent house. ”
"The money saved, after building a house, bought a field for Yiyi as a dowry."
"You don't have any opinions, etiquette and etiquette are small people, and they have made a lot of contributions to the family; If it weren't for the meat they found on the road, it is not certain whether our family would have the good spirit we have now, and you all have to remember this ancestry. ”
"Mingli is a man, and he can earn a piece of his own property in the future, and the land he bought will not be given to him." Cheng Dazhu's plan was clear, "As for the boss, your family Mingyue won't give it; This girl's temperament is so tangled, and now she has grown crooked, and she can't be more crooked than now. ”
Cheng Yuandong said ashamedly: "My son knows." ”
"I won't talk about the other children and grandchildren, they are all men, how can they live; The girl's family will marry into her mother-in-law's family in the future, and the dowry is the confidence of a girl's family, and the boy will stay at home without these things. ”
"The sons know." Cheng Yuandong, Cheng Yuannan and Cheng Yuanxi nodded repeatedly.
The sons know filial piety, he is pleased, and he can't help mentioning Cheng Mingyue again, "If Mingyue can be improved, there is nothing wrong with giving a little more dowry silver when she gets married." ”
Luo Cuihua didn't speak, because that's how she came.
After such a long time, she can understand that her eldest granddaughter will have to rely on her mother's family in the future; And the little granddaughter has to rely on her mother's family, and the meaning is completely different.
"Listen to Daddy." Cheng Yuandong nodded thoughtfully, for the sake of his daughter, he would have to polish her temper no matter what in the future.
Stubbornness is not impossible, but it must be used on the right path.
The matter was so decided, in order to facilitate his actions, when he went to the city to buy bricks and tiles, Cheng Yuanxi invited the dark one; borrowed the power of the prince of Zhou Wangfu after the dark body, and easily bought more than 400 square meters of bricks and tiles needed to build a house.
Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan went up the mountain to cut down the wood of the old road for several years, and put it in a cool place to dry; It doesn't matter if you don't do it all, the beams will always dry in the shade, but the size may decrease.
But there is no way, who let them go to a new place, there is no background; There is no dry wood, but fortunately, it takes at least several months to build a house, the area is large, the house is large, there are many rooms, and the time required is long, and when you go to the house, you can always do it.
With the bricks and tiles, the foundation was directly selected and divided into the name of Cheng Dazhu, and the construction of the house began.
The Cheng family is in full swing, and everyone in the clan who can come out will go to two of them to help; Anyway, the Cheng family will pay the salary, it is fifteen yuan a day, including food, and it is still at the door of the house, where to find such a good job to do.
Mingyi and Mingli couldn't help, so they often ran up the mountain, firstly, to find a quiet place for Cheng Mingli to read, and secondly, to facilitate Mingyi's hunting.
The family has to keep up with the food, meat and fish, and it is impossible to let the people who work in the family have no oil and water in their stomachs.
As the days passed, Zhou Ting was busy gathering his father's power, being a dutiful son, setting up his father in advance, and letting his father realize his retirement dream as soon as possible; I don't have time to ask Mingyi about it.
Mingyi was also busy hunting, playing crazy in the mountains, who still remembered that there was such a person as Zhou Ting.
In just four months, all the forces of King Zhou's mansion were controlled by Zhou Ting, and King Zhou's secret guards were also rebelled by him.
Anyway, they are both father and son, and at the beginning of the cultivation of the secret guard, they were not simply loyal to the King of Zhou, but the descendants of the Zhou family.
The king of Zhou is a descendant, and the son of the king of Zhou is also a descendant.
Moreover, King Zhou is too attentive, and he can do it in terms of ability; But unlike the twelve-year-old Shiziye, who is dedicated to his career, he has too many thoughts, and it is better to serve Shiziye than to serve him.
Anyway, their entire Dark Guard followed the captain, and the captain was all the prince's people, what did they rebel against? Foolish?
Pull it down.
They're not stupid.
The prince is obviously more able to take care of things, the princess's maiden family, Cangzhou Liang, the prince has a big background, good ability, dedicated to his career, and he is smart and intelligent, and they have grown up watching him since he was a child.
For various reasons, the dark guards chose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light.
In four months, Zhou Ting became the real head of the Zhou Palace, and the first time in charge was to divide the family; Divide the concubines, and as for the expenses of the aunts in the backyard, all of them will be reduced by two-thirds, and they want to live a good life and let their children be honored.
Zhou Ting's excuse for splitting up the family is also quite interesting, saying that it is to exercise the ability of the concubines; can't gnaw on the old father of King Zhou for the rest of his life, rather than let them not become a weapon, it is better to divide it out as soon as possible and start a family.
Princess Zhou was happy to tease with the people around her, "Look at the vigorous and resolute nature of our family, coming back this time has made the concubine feel a lot more comfortable." ”
If you are in the palace, you have to look at the aunts, side concubines, and concubines who come to ask for peace every day; She doesn't like King Zhou, but she likes the power in King Zhou's hands, and for the sake of her son, she also wants to be a good mother-in-law.
However, that was when King Zhou was in charge.
Now she is in charge of the house, and all aunts, side concubines, and concubines have to stand aside.
There are two side concubines in the palace, one is the daughter of a northwest official, let's not talk about this one; Two years ago, she was restless with her son and repeatedly targeted the prince.
delusional that the mother is more expensive than the son, and the eldest son of her family will find the wrong son of her mother's family to the end; The men were sent to the forward camp, and the female dependents were driven out of the eastern district, and from then on, the side concubine was honest and obediently stayed in the small courtyard.
As for the other one, his mother's family is a second-rate family in Kyoto, and the Ning family has no talents; The sky is high and the emperor is far away, if you are not honest, you will wait to be cleaned up.
It's really cleaned up, what can the Kyoto Ning family do if they know?
If you want to find trouble with their Zhou Palace, it also depends on whether they are capable; Concubine Ning is interesting, and she is not favored in the palace, but she also gave birth to a son and a daughter, and she is safe and stable.
The other aunts are not worth mentioning at all, and they are all staying in the palace.
