Chapter 249: Son (Three Watches)
The cramped courtyard has only two main houses and two side rooms, and the snow in the yard has not been swept away, and only a path has been cleared to leave.
Snowflakes were falling, and another layer of snow fell on the trail.
The charcoal basin in the house was extinguished, the hot water was gone, but no one added charcoal and water.
Han Qingwan stood at the door of the room with a blushing face.
The sound of the maid and the maid eating and laughing came from the side room.
The courtyard door was slammed open, and Han Siqi stumbled in.
His purple brocade robe was disheveled, and his flowery cloak was covered with mud, as if he had been rolling in muddy water. It's clear that he's fought with people.
Han Qingwan said lightly, "Shouldn't the second brother be in the Guozijian now? If you don't come out again, the second room will really have no way to live."
Han Siqi rushed to her, his eyes red, "Guozijian? There is a grandmother like that, there is a mother who is a prostitute, how can I stay in the country's prison! Do you know how many of my classmates' fathers and elders have been to the Workshop Division!"
He jerked his cloak off and slammed it to the ground, "What's the use of dying now? What's the use! I've become a joke of the country's eunuchs, and anyone can step on me!"
Han Qingwan was stunned, "Mother is dead?"
"Dead, all dead! One went crazy and jumped into the cesspool and drowned, and the other stabbed him to death with a hairpin in the neck!"
Han Qingwan was silent for a moment, "What did you do earlier?"
Tears crossed her eyes, and she turned back to her room.
Han Siqi followed, "Hey, you don't care? They're being thrown into mass graves now!"
Han Qingwan said coldly, "What can I do?"
"It costs money to collect the corpses for them and bury them, you pay for it, I will help!"
Han Qingwan said lightly, "Where do I have any silver now, second brother can think of it himself."
Han Siqi was annoyed, "You don't have any silver, you always have jewelry!" I wanted to buy books and socialize in Guozijian, but I didn't save a tael of silver! You can't just let them just throw it away, right? You're not afraid of being poked in the back in the future!"
If it weren't for his father's travels, he wouldn't have cared about it!
Han Qingwan sneered, "I've already poked my backbone now, do I still care about what happens in the future?" You don't have to fight my jewelry idea, most of my head and face have been sold cheaply to buy food for the Southwest Army. There are only a few things left to decorate the façade, so it's hard to wear only a wooden hairpin when you go out!"
Han Siqi pointed to her nose, "You...... You're ruthless! Grandmother wants to count on you until she dies, and she's really wrong!"
Han Qingwan poured a cup of cold tea and drank it, "She thinks about a lot of things wrong. Second brother, let's go."
"I shouldn't have come!"
Han Siqi flicked his sleeves and left, he had already left the courtyard gate, retreated back, picked up the cloak on the ground, and walked away.
He hesitated again and again and went to Wisteria Garden.
When he entered the hall, he didn't speak, but just stood there.
Since Chu Jingjing straightened up, he didn't shout from his mother.
Let him call this vulgar woman mother, he can't shout.
Chu Jingjing loves the red clothes very much, and she straightens herself, and she wears a red dress every day, for fear that others will not know that she is the main room.
She looked through the ledger, "Die'er, why is it cold in this room, add another charcoal basin."
"Yes, Second Lady."
The maid in the room answered and went out.
Han Siqi hesitated for a long time and said, "That...... I want to make some money."
Chu Jingjing continued to look at the account book without raising her eyes.
Han Siqi was annoyed, "Hey, I'm talking to you."
Chu Jingjing raised her head, "You are also full of poetry and books, and when you talk to people, don't you have the least title?"
Han Siqi had a request, and finally had to put down his frame, gritted his teeth and said, "Mother...... I want to pay two hundred taels of silver."
Chu Jingjing was very satisfied with this "mother".
I have been dreaming for more than ten years, and it has come true.
She became the mother of their sisters, their sisters
My sister became a concubine and groveled to her.
She said in a motherly tone, "You are my son, I am a mother, and it is only right for you to give you money. But why do you ask for so much silver?"
Han Siqi was annoyed and asked knowingly!
"I'm going to give it to my grandmother...... Burial for my aunt and grandmother and birth mother."
Chu Jingjing sighed, "You also know that Xiao Wen's family has been deducting my monthly rules at the beginning, and I haven't saved any silver for so many years. The money I have now is still made up to me by the eldest lady with her private money. Compare your heart to your heart, the Wen family and the little Wen family are so miserable to the eldest lady's family, do you think it is appropriate for me to give you her silver?"
Han Siqi said, "Then I will use the silver in the second room, and I don't have to use my mother's own silver."
Chu Jingjing laughed, "Siqi is really naïve. Where is the silver in the second room? At the beginning, Xiao Wen's stole the dowry of his sister-in-law, and then he didn't hollow out the hole in the second room! Besides, they are lowly people, and it would be too unruly for you to bury them with two hundred taels of silver."
Han Siqi's eyes suppressed humiliation and anger.
He never thought that he would put down his body for a mere two hundred taels of silver and suffer humiliation!
"You don't want to give money, and you don't have to talk about so much!"
"You are my son, how can I bear to look at you embarrassed?"
Chu Jingjing took a sip of tea, "That's it, I just paid this month's monthly allowance here, and I gave you ten taels of silver." Buying a thin coffin for them is also your filial piety."
Ten taels of silver!
I have to ask someone to carry the coffin and ask someone to dig the grave, and I can really only buy the cheapest thin coffin!
He easily opened his mouth and called his mother, and was called his son over and over again by this cheap woman, and he only got ten taels of silver!
Han Siqi secretly gritted his teeth and arched his hand, "Thank you, Mother......
Chu Jingjing replied with satisfaction, "You are my son, no need to thank you."
Haha, son, son!
That's a cool title!
She took a bag of broken silver from the maid's hand and handed it to her black-faced son, "Okay, you can stand down."
Han Siqi took the silver and left with a heavy face.

Han Youning was in a good mood, and he was in front of several wardrobes picking out the clothes he would wear tomorrow.
Ling'er smiled and said, "Miss chooses all with some colors, if you like it, how about picking a few bright materials and letting the sewing room make a few dresses?"
Han Youning nodded, "It doesn't have to be too bright, just pick some light-colored materials."
Ling'er thought that the young lady would not respond, but she was overjoyed when she heard the words, and happily went to the warehouse to move a bunch of clothes.
The master and servant were picking, and Han Jun came, followed by a tall maid, walking with neat energy.
Autumn leaves. The maid who accompanied her to the end in her previous life.
Autumn leaves were originally a maid in his father's courtyard, and he learned some kung fu from the guards in the outer courtyard since he was a child.
When her father returned, he asked someone to carefully adjust her rules for serving the young lady, and she sent her over after learning it.
Han Youning had met her from afar in the outer courtyard, but he didn't come forward to say hello.
Han Jun said, "She knows some fist and foot kung fu, so she will follow you and serve you in the future."
