Chapter 248: You Must Get Something
"Sister Yi, okay?"
"You still know how to ask?"
"Me"
"How good she is to you, how good is she to our family, as long as you open your mouth to ask for it all these years, why hasn't she got it for you?"
"Didn't Dad give her 100,000 taels of silver every year?"
"That's because she cured your brother's illness, can the money that your mother's family gave to her benefactor be regarded as yours?"
Wang Jiaru lowered her head when she was said, and Mrs. Wang sighed.
"Dad, mother, let's not mention this, Mrs. Qiao is not a stingy person."
The old man gritted his teeth, and said in his heart that she was not stingy, but she no longer paid attention to Wang Jiaru.
At dinner, the family sat and ate together, more than half of the table was brought by Qiao Mai's family, Wang Jiaru had the heart to eat it, but she didn't expect to be taken back by the old man with a cold eye.
"These things are eaten by our coarse people, you and your children eat coarse and thin, if you are not used to eating at home, go back to your palace."
"Grandfather, why do you talk to me like this, my granddaughter is also a princess."
The old man flicked his chopsticks, "What? Want to put the princess on the shelf? Are you going to let me bow to you?"
"Granddaughter doesn't dare"
"I think you dare very much, after a few years of marriage, I don't know you anymore."
"Grandfather, she's just a clay-legged woman, why are you looking at her everywhere, and I'm the princess, princess."
The old man stood up, he suppressed his anger, "I think at the beginning, my grandfather's grandfather was also a mud leg, and you are also the descendant of the croppers, this will not stop for the time being, you touch your conscience and ask yourself, when you first bowed, how did you swear to the sky, she did it, did you do it?"
"Me"
"The old man really didn't expect that where did that simple and lovely Ru'er go? You have disappointed me that I haven't seen you for a few years and have become like this."
"Grandfather, me!"
"If you look down on her so much, don't use what she gives you, what you wear on your head and what you wear on your body, there are several things that are hers."
"Me!"
"Hmph, our Wang family lives in the Acropolis, I don't want to be promoted, I just want to live in peace, from now on, you will be your princess, we will be our ordinary people, the well water is not the river water, I hope you will do it yourself."
Mr. Wang left, and the old lady also stood up and looked at Ru'er with a disappointed expression.
She shook her head, sighed, and walked away in silence.
Wang Zongsheng had a calm face, "What do I do with the 150,000 taels of silver I give you every year?"
"The subsidy for the palace is used"
"He doesn't have any money in the palace, so he wants you to make up for it?"
"Dad, don't look at the appearance of the palace, but you have to support so many people, me."
"Enough, the people of the royal palace who don't live without those silver kings? From next year, I won't give you any more money."
"Daddy"
"Don't be a fool, you have money and you spend it everywhere, you have to eat and wear, everything must be very delicate, am I right?"
"Dad, are you checking me?"
"Yes, I'll check you, you should treat it as if I checked you, you know the money given to Qiao Niangzi, she hasn't spent a penny on herself, except for the people, that is, for the people, she helped her husband raise hundreds of poor people, and hundreds of disabled soldiers, she bought all the wasteland in Shexian County, planted all the trees, in order to change Shexian County, how much did she and her husband pay, and what did you do?" ….
"Me"
"Spend all day drinking, more than eating and drinking, you don't forget, why did the little prince fall in love with you in the first place, if you continue like this, maybe one day, your princess position will not be guaranteed, you are married, we can't do anything, if you are just a child who is injured and cries to his parents, then let's listen, after your grievances are complained, you should go back to the capital and return to the capital, Dad just wants to remind you that you should grow up and mature."
After speaking, Wang Zongsheng also left, and the people at the table were left with Mrs. Wang, Wang Jiaru and the two children.
Wang Fuye
I don't know what to say, "Jiaru, what your grandfather and your father said makes sense, you are already the mother of two children, you can't think about eating, drinking and having fun every day, you know, if you don't change, your children will one day change from concubines to concubines, and you will be slowly disappeared by the palace on the grounds of illness, such things are common in the capital, after all, our family is only a fourth-grade official, as long as the palace wants to do it, we can't protect you, don't play with the child's temper anymore."
The meal broke up unhappily, and Mrs. Wang, who was originally distressed about her daughter, was also extremely disappointed with her at this time.
From this day on, the old man and the old lady nested in the house every day and did not come out, Wang Zongsheng wanted to go to the yamen, Mrs. Wang had to look at the family property, Zihan had to go to school, and everyone was very busy.
Wang Jiaru was very bored at home with her two children, but when she thought of Li Longji, who was the concubine in the capital, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
Thinking of Qiao Mai, she felt that when her sister heard that she was coming, she should follow her grandfather and them over.
No matter what, she is also a princess now, come and see what she has to do if she doesn't have a few taels of meat, and she is very much fighting for that death.
So she repaired a book and invited Qiao Mai to Fucheng for a gathering.
Qiao Mai took the letter and glanced at it, and said to the visitor, "Tell your master that if there is something at home, you won't go."
After the messenger brought Qiao Mai's words, Wang Jiaru was so angry that she threw the teacup on the ground.
"I really don't know how to catch her, if she hadn't come back this time, she really wouldn't want to deal with her."
So he repaired another book and sent someone to send it over.
This time, Yuan Jiaqi happened to be at home, the two were collecting vegetables in the greenhouse, and when it came to the end of the year, the vegetables were sold very quickly, and many large families did not come out to buy vegetables during the New Year, so they would buy a lot of hoarding at home.
The three tenant farmers of the Qiao family are willing to pay their money and learn from their old faces, so the three of them have made a lot of money this year.
The price is the same as Qiao's dishes, there are high and low, how many cattle are sold, and the shopkeeper will keep accounts, and he will not be greedy for them, these three families also trust Qiao Ji very much, and they never say much.
Qiao Mai came out of the greenhouse, glanced at the messenger, took the letter and looked at it, and immediately laughed angrily at the contents of the letter.
Yuan Jiaqi took it and looked at it again, "She asked you for something again?"
"yes, it's given for free every time, but I haven't gotten those things in years, so I don't have any."
Qiao Mai looked at the messenger, "Go back and tell your master that the things she asked for were gone three years ago, and the goods have been out of stock."
"This, how can I go back and communicate with the master, the master said that he must get something."
"I don't have it here, I can't conjure it up, come on, send him out."
In this way, the messenger was driven out by the mother-in-law in disguise, and Wang Jiaru was furious when she found out.
Just about to scold, Mrs. Wang rushed over, but she didn't scold when she said it.
"Mother, why are you here?"
"I heard you're angry again, what the hell is going on?"
"It's fine."
"Nothing? Why did you send someone to Qiao's house to deliver a letter to Mrs. Qiao?"
"Didn't you just ask her for something?"
"What, you dare to ask her for things again, the things you have taken from her over the years are almost more than the dividends we have given her."
"Mother, I have a princess who asks her for something because she can afford her."
Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Jiaru in shock, is this still her daughter? How did it become like this? Five years is no more, no less, and she can't believe that a good woman has become like this.
"What do you want from her?"
"Just a few sets of shiny jewelry, a few horse-faced dresses, and her double-sided embroidery."
"Then do you know that one of her small hair ornaments can be sold for 10,000 taels of silver in the capital? How much silver do you need for your set of jewelry?"
"Mother, can you stop talking about it, just forget it if you don't give it, why are there so many things?"
Mrs. Wang was shocked by her words and took a few steps back, she said with tears in her eyes, "I really raised a good daughter" After speaking, she turned around and left.
