Chapter 478: Dowry Turmoil (4)
"This is good, the whole village, no, I'm afraid it's from the nearby ten miles and eight townships, and everyone knows that the Wu family married a daughter-in-law, and the dowry carried twelve big boxes. We know that there are twelve boxes, waiting to be passed out, and it will not become thirty-two? Isn't this a disaster for the Wu family? The more Grandma Zhong spoke, the more angry she became.
"Also, people can't say it, marrying a girl can accompany so many things. If you tie up those two old things in their family, you don't know how much silver you can get? Grandma Zhong snorted coldly, "Don't look at the fact that there are fewer bandits now, but I don't dare to guarantee that there will be none, if one day is targeted by others, there may be a lot of trouble." ”
Yun Xue felt a pang in her heart, she really hadn't thought about this. Although Shen Hongjun led the troops to exterminate the large and small cottages in this neighborhood last year, there are always those who don't want to contribute well and just want to get rich overnight. They have nothing to do all day long, and if someone hits the Zhong family or the Wu family with their ideas, it is really dangerous.
"Grandma, you're still old and think a lot, to be honest, I really haven't thought about this." Yun Xue couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Alas, when my grandmother was young, she didn't enter the palace to serve the first queen. At that time, there was a family in the town, the old man was sixty-six years old, and he celebrated it in a big way, and the copper coins were carried in large baskets to reward the beggars who came to the door. But guess what? Before they could wait for the evening, someone entered their house and was robbed of it. The old man was kicked in the chest by a robber, and he didn't come up on the spot. Grandma Zhong told the old story.
"Wealth is not exposed, this is an old saying left by our ancestors. People say that it is called making a fortune in a muffled voice, and this is the reason. You can't show off too much if you have money, in this world, there are so many red-eyed people, do you know which one is a good person? Which is the bad guy? If you don't get it right, losing money is a trivial matter, and losing your life is a big thing. Grandma Zhong sighed, "These small ones still have less experience, and their knowledge is too short." ”
After listening to Grandma Zhong's words, the Yunxue sisters were silent, and after a long time, Yunxue said, "Grandma is right, we juniors really don't think about things in the long run. However, this junior made a mistake, and grandma should teach them well, but they can't be so angry. Your body is quite tough, but after all, you are old. Yun Xue still persuaded.
"When I'm old, I'm useless, and my son and daughter-in-law are disobedient. At the beginning, I made a rule for my sons that they were not allowed to take concubines. I have been married to your grandfather for so many years, and when I was serving the first queen in the palace, your grandfather didn't say that he dared to get a little one back. The two of us had five sons and two daughters in one go, and we lived a peaceful and beautiful life. ”
"A man has three wives and four concubines, which looks like a blessing, but in fact it is the bane. In the backyard, wives and concubines are fighting, there is a miasma, and the sons rob each other of the family property, and in the end, the family business falls apart, what benefit can it be? I have already seen through it, so I don't allow them to take concubines. It's a pity, my son is older, his wings are stiff, where is he willing to listen to me as a mother? The more Grandma Zhong spoke, the more sad she became, and she couldn't help shedding tears.
Xiao Yunxia nested in Grandma Zhong's arms, and when she saw her tears, she hurriedly wiped her tears with her little hands, "Grandma doesn't cry, her eyes will hurt if she cries." ”
Grandma Zhong held Yunxia's little hand and kissed her, "Or is it better for us Yunxia to be more obedient?" Unlike those people in grandma's family, if they are disobedient, they know that they are angry with grandma. Grandma Zhong hugged Yunxia and looked at Sister Yunxue.
"I didn't sleep with your grandfather all night last night, and something like this happened at home, which is a sign of a loser. Don't look at the Zhong family now, it looks like it's quite brilliant, to say that it's a loser, it's just a blink of an eye. No, we really have to go back to the capital, if we don't go back and watch, these rabbit cubs won't have to jump to the sky? "This is the old couple who discussed it all night and decided it.
The old couple of the Zhong family left their hometown and were sold to the capital. The two of them have saved this family business over the years, and the hardships are really not enough for outsiders. But the Zhong family has just prospered, and the children and grandchildren are getting carried away one by one, maybe in a few years, maybe something will happen.
The old couple discussed for a night and felt that they had been away from the capital for too long. Without them watching, these children and grandchildren, relying on the emperor's favor, have begun to change. It's not a good sign, if you don't get it right, you don't know when you're going to get into trouble. The old couple worked hard all their lives to make the Zhong family have today's life, and it would be a pity if they fell like this.
Yun Xue saw Grandma Zhong's attitude and knew that they had to go this time, this kind of thing, Yun Xue naturally couldn't stop it, "Grandma, you and Grandpa Zhong are leaving, and you can't rush to this day or two." Your two elders are old, and the capital is so far away, you must be ready to go. Second, Baozhu hasn't returned to the door yet, so she has to go back to the door and explain everything to Baozhu clearly, and then leave. ”
Grandma Zhong sighed, "It's such a reason, I just have an uncomfortable stomach full of anger, and when I see these rabbit cubs, I get angry and can't help it." ”
Yunxia was still angry when she heard that Grandma Zhong, and quickly patted Grandma Zhong's chest. made Grandma Zhong laugh, "It's still your sisters, good boy, grandma is fine, don't be angry." Look at your little hands, they're all red. ”
Yun Xue only told her about going to Wu's house last night, and Grandma Zhong was relieved when she heard that Han Yue'e and they didn't have any ideas. "Well, you really have to make peace in the middle. You said that the family made such a mess, where do I have the face to tell my in-laws? Yunxue, grandma thank you. ”
Yun Xue smiled, "Grandma's words are out of sight, our two families have been friends for several years." Grandma is dozens of times better than my own grandmother to our sisters, and this matter, I just pass a word to both sides, it's nothing. ”
Sister Yunxue sat in the Zhong family for a while, and the old lady of the Zhong family calmed down, and then Sister Yunxue said goodbye and left. waited for the Han family sisters to be sent away, and the daughters-in-law of the Zhong family came in from outside. "Mother, we were wrong, don't be angry."
The old couple of the Zhong family, the old man has a good temper, no matter what happens, he is not in a hurry. The old lady was the one who served by the former queen's side, and how many years of harem career made her carry a sense of majesty. In addition, the old lady has a strong personality and a very stubborn temper, and the Zhong family is up and down, old and young, all afraid of the old lady.
Several daughters-in-law all stood in front of the old lady with their heads bowed, and the old lady looked at them, but she couldn't help but soften. Can you blame your daughters-in-law about this? I can't. The daughters-in-law are filial and often come over to accompany their old couple, so they can't take care of their husbands.
If it weren't for the fact that the old couple had to live here, the daughters-in-law wouldn't have to come all the way to separate from their husbands. If you don't separate, even if the husband has an outside heart, he won't know until the end, which will make the family restless.
Of course, that's only part of the reason. These daughters-in-law were all daughters of small families who were married at the beginning, and the Zhong family had no power and power in the past, and the sons would not say anything. Now that several officials in the Zhong family are imperial businessmen, the sons will inevitably think that their daughters-in-law will not be able to get on the stage. Plus those who have the heart to lean up, isn't it an instant hit?
"Okay, you don't have to stand here anymore, I know in my heart that you are the most uncomfortable. The eldest daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law, the two of you, are the most aggrieved. This time I go back to Beijing, my mother will call the shots for you, that vixen, don't want to enter the door of our Zhong family. Even if they enter the door, their mother can't tolerate them. ”
"The second daughter-in-law, the fourth daughter-in-law, and the fifth daughter-in-law, now I don't know if these three bastards have any outside hearts, and after they go back, my mother will help you beat them. After that, we will be in the capital and will not come back, we don't know how long we can manage, but if my mother lives for a day, I will never let you be wronged. The old lady looked at the daughters-in-law and said distressedly.
The eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law of the Zhong family all shed tears, how could they not care? followed her husband for more than ten or twenty years, gave birth to children for him, and served his parents. As a result, the family is doing well now, but there is no self in the eyes of the husband, only the young and beautiful concubine. No woman can stand such a result.
"Mother, don't be angry, things have come to this point, what can you do when you go back? forcibly kicked the woman out, but I was afraid that it would hurt the mother-son relationship between the mother and the husband. Mother, I have Baozhu and two sons, Qilang and Balang, and now Qilang is fourteen years old, Hachiro is thirteen, and they are all older, as long as they grow up, I will have something to rely on in the future. Why bother to mess with your husband again? "The third daughter-in-law of the Zhong family has also seen it these days.
"At the beginning, I was crying and fussing, but now that I think about it, it's not necessary. I'm the wife of the main room, and with my father and mother and Shichiro and Hachiro, others can't move my status. No matter how favored she is, doesn't she have to look at my face to live? Mother, don't take this matter to heart. ”
The third daughter-in-law of the Zhong family is naturally not as relaxed as she said. But she is pure-hearted and absolutely does not want her mother-in-law to go back to teach her husband a lesson because of this incident. First, the husband is afraid that he will be more alienated from himself, and secondly, the old lady is old, so she is not angry and angry, in case something happens, her backer will really be gone at that time.
The old lady heard her daughters-in-law say this, and knew that they were also for their own good, "Alas, you are a good one." I don't know why the third bastard got dizzy and got a stirrry back. ”
