Chapter 90: The clan came again to ask for money
Chu Shiyu stood up and saluted: "Shiyu has seen the second sister, I heard in the countryside that the second sister is a female general who has been on the battlefield, and when I see it today, she is really a heroic and majestic heroine among women, and Shiyu is envious."
"I'm just a rough man, and I have nothing to envy."
Chu Zishan took Chu Shiyu's hand and looked the fifth sister up and down.
The plain robe is loose and loose, which shows her thinness, her palm-sized little face has not lost her pink, she is extremely pretty and lovely, her voice is delicate and soft, and her well-behaved appearance is not pity.
When Mrs. Chu saw her daughter patronizing the fifth girl, she beckoned: "Zishan, these two are the eldest aunt and fifth aunt of your second uncle's family, as well as two cousins."
Chu Zishan turned around and respectfully saluted the two elders, "Zishan has seen the eldest aunt and the fifth aunt."
The eldest aunt looked at her with a loving face: "Zishan is really a woman with eighteen changes, look at this beauty, like a fairy in the sky."
The fifth aunt glanced at Chu Zishan coldly: "I heard that Zishan is a powerful girl, but I just understood."
She just wanted to get close to Chu Zishan, but she was scolded and completely disrespectful to her, and the elder was extremely unhappy in her heart, and this time she spoke yin and yang.
Chu Zishan smiled, "My eldest sister is here, but the fifth aunt calls me the eldest girl, if I agree, I'm afraid that there will be a rift between my sisters, and the fifth aunt won't be ignorant of such a simple truth as an elder, right?"
"Yo, what I said, it's my elders who are provoking you sisters, blame me, blame me for talking too much." The fifth aunt rolled her eyes to the sky.
Mrs. Chu snorted: "Zishan, you are a bastard, how can you be rude to the elders who came from afar, and you still don't apologize."
Chu Zishan felt that he was right, if he didn't care about it, his mother would lose face, so he had to bow down and salute stupidly: "It's Zishan who is rude, and I hope the two elders don't care."
The eldest aunt smiled, "It's not a big deal, the eldest lady doesn't have to blame the girl."
The fifth aunt glanced at Chu Zishan with a slippery face, and snorted coldly.
Chu Zishan ignored it, walked back to Mei's side, plucked a hosta from his head, and inserted it into the head of his fifth sister.
"It's the first time I've seen my fifth sister, and this is my gift to my sister."
"Second sister can't help it, this is too precious......
Chu Shiyu pulled out the hairpin as she spoke, and Chu Zishan pressed down her hand: "If you don't accept it, you won't be able to look down on me as a sister." Z.br>
"If she gives it to you, keep it." Chu Zhinan walked over, raised his hand and stroked the fifth sister's sideburns, and said with a smile: "She has a very good character, it is rare to be kind to anyone, she can give you things, it can be seen that she really likes you."
"Then thank you, second sister......" Chu Shiyu bowed timidly to Chu Zishan.
Chu Zishan took the hairpin and put it on Chu Shiyu's head, gently dragging her delicate little face: "In the future, my sister will buy you more beautiful clothes and heads."
"No, I don't even need those things." Chu Shiyu said obediently.
The fifth aunt stared at the hosta on the head of the fifth girl, and said in a strange manner: "Second girl, this is the first time you have seen two younger sisters, you can't favor one over the other."
Hearing this, Chu Zishan had cold eyes, and just wanted to go back, but he heard his mother call the two younger sisters, and took a pair of gold and jade bracelets from under their wrists and put them on their hands.
The two girls refused, but they liked to stroke the gorgeous bracelet on their wrists, and their eyes were shining.
The fifth aunt looked at the valuable bracelet in her daughter's hand, which was much more valuable than the fifth girl, and then smiled.
"Sister-in-law, the clan wants to rebuild the ancestral shrine, the old patriarch means that the eldest sister-in-law has to get six thousand taels this month."
"Six thousand taels?"
Without waiting for Mrs. Chu to speak, Chu Zishan jumped up, "Building the ancestral temple is a matter for the whole clan, how can our family only pay for it?"
The eldest aunt smiled and said, "Out of it, each family has two thousand taels, and the six thousand taels from the Houfu have the cost of the thousand old and weak lowly soldiers."
Chu Zishan folded his fingers and calculated: "The whole clan is divided into eight families, and each family is two thousand taels, which is nearly twenty thousand taels of silver, so much is used
Where is the silver to build an ancestral temple, obviously to build a palace."
"When the elders speak, how can you speak as a little baby who doesn't understand four or six." The fifth aunt glared at Chu Zishan unhappily, and then looked at the silent Mrs. Chu: "Sister-in-law, this child has made you accustomed to not having any manners at all, so that people can look at it, and you want to say that my Chu family has no tutor."
Mrs. Chu's face was gloomy, and the clan's request for money from the Houfu was getting worse and worse, she had long been dissatisfied, but she was helpless.
Two thousand taels of silver can build a wealthy mansion in Kyoto, why does the ancestral temple use nearly ten thousand taels of silver, it is obvious that she is just letting her Houfu family pay for it, when she is a fool and coaxing.
She smiled faintly: "Brother and sister don't know, now the head of the Houfu is me, a girl who doesn't know how to be polite, and you really have to tell her about building the ancestral temple."
If she was still her housekeeper, she would not be able to refuse the six thousand taels of silver.
The bus treated her, and the clan gave as much as she wanted, and the clan elder relied on her father-in-law's words to be unscrupulous, and asked the Houfu for money under many excuses, and she didn't dare to disobey her father-in-law no matter how angry she was.
The daughter is the flesh of her father-in-law's heart, and it hurts so much, even if the daughter does something inappropriate, the father-in-law will not blame her.
The daughter is a person who does not suffer losses, and she is even more unforgiving, and it will not be so easy for the clan to get money from Houfu in the future.
At this time, she can especially understand that her mother-in-law let her daughter take charge of the house, which is really wise.
This girl is still a combination of a tiger and a calf, and she can protect the Houfu without leaking.
The fifth aunt angrily slapped the case: "What, the huge Houfu actually let a milky hairy girl take care of it, what is the reason."
"This is my mother-in-law's order, and I dare not disobey it." Mrs. Chu sighed, looking very helpless.
The fifth aunt looked at Chu Zishan contemptuously: "The old patriarch has spoken, if no one pays the money, and the name is not engraved on the ancestral ancestral hall inscription at that time, it will be equivalent to being expelled from the family tree."
Chu Zishan playfully wrapped his hair: "The money for building the ancestral temple will naturally come out, but my Great Xia law has standards for buildings of all classes, if it is exceeded, it will be difficult to escape the suspicion of deceiving the monarch, and I will go back with my aunt and aunt in a few days to have a look."
What else did the fifth aunt say, the eldest aunt shook her head at her, and then looked at Chu Zishan with a smile: "I can't see that Zishan is thoughtful at a young age, no wonder the old lady let Zishan be in charge, then it is according to what Zishan said."
She took two red stickers from her arms and handed them to Mrs. Chu: "Brother and sister, we are here this time mainly for the marriage of the two children of Danyang and Danfeng, they have passed the marriage, and they want to beg their younger brothers and sisters to find a reliable high-ranking official family in Kyoto, this is the birthday of the two girls, please give my brother and sister a heart."
Mrs. Chu's hand holding the teacup shook, and the tea spilled on her hand, Mama Zhao hurriedly took the teacup, wiped the water from her hand with a silk handkerchief, and said with concern, "Ouch, my hands are hot."
